Remarks:

1.      The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of certain 
properties and investments in securities.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed 
financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation 
of the Group's annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31 
December 2003 with the adoption of new accounting policy for its hotel 
properties as follows :

Hotel Properties

Hotel properties are stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Cost 
comprises land costs, development costs, borrowing cost capitalised in 
accordance with the Group's accounting policy and other direct cost 
attributable to the property. No depreciation or amortisation is provided 
on hotel property. It is the Group's policy to maintain in a continual 
state of sound repair and maintenance and to extend and make improvements 
thereto from time to time, and accordingly the directors consider that 
given the estimated life of this asset any depreciation would be 
insignificant.

The gain or loss arising from disposal or retirement of hotel property is 
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the asset and is recognised in the income statement.

under the subscription agreement dated 31 May 2002 would result in a 
decrease in loss per share.
