5.      EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS OF THE 
        COMPANY

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the 
consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for 
the Period of HK$121,236,000 (June 2005: HK$93,451,000) and the weighted 
average of 4,316,884,381 (June 2005: 4,316,884,381) ordinary shares in 
issue during the Period.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share is based on the 
consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for 
the Period of HK$121,236,000 and the weighted average of 4,316,884,381 
ordinary shares in issue during the Period plus the weighted average of 
45,303,448 ordinary shares deemed to have been issued at no consideration 
if all outstanding options had been exercised. 

A diluted earnings per share amount for the six months ended 30 June 2005 
had not been presented because no dilutive events existed during that 
period.
