Remarks:

1.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual 
financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2005. 

The adoption of the new standards, interpretations and amendments to 
standards in the current period which are relevant to the Groups 
operations and are mandatory for financial year ending 31 December, 2006 
did not have any significant effect on the interim condensed consolidated 
financial statements or result in any significant change in the Group's 
accounting policies.  

For six months ended 30 June, 2005, the Group disclosed interest income, 
bank charges and foreign exchange gains/losses within "net financing 
charge". Management believes that their inclusion in "other income" and "
administrative and general expenses" respectively is a fairer presentation 
of the Group's activities.

2.      Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to equity 
holders of the Company of RMB 81,194,000 and 6,030,000,000 shares in issue 
during the period (for six months ended 30 June, 2005: profit attributable 
to equity holders of the Company of RMB 2,144,010,000 and number of shares 
of 6,030,000,000).

Diluted earnings per share has not been presented as the Company has no 
potential dilutive ordinary shares during the period.

3.      Dividend

(i)    At a meeting held on 18 April, 2006 the directors proposed a final 
dividend of RMB 0.12 (2004: RMB 0.2) per ordinary share totaling RMB 723,
600,000 (2004: RMB 1,206,000,000) for the year ended 31 December, 2005. As 
at 30 June, 2006, a total amount of RMB 290,400,000 was paid to H share
