Remarks:

1. Revenue recognition

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is 
established.  Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis, 
taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest 
rates applicable.  Interest from debt securities is recognized on a time 
proportion basis.  Refer also to Remark 2 below for details of change in 
accounting policy.

2.      Change in accounting policy

In 2001, the Group changed its accounting policy with respect to the 
recognition of income from debt securities.  Amortisation of discount on 
purchase of debt securities is no longer recognized as income.  The change 
is more appropriate to reflect the nature of our existing debt securities 
portfolio.   

The comparative statements for 2001 have been restated to conform to the 
changed policy.  The effect of the change in respect of the period 2001 is 
summarized below:

3.      Earnings per share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the 
Group's profit attributable to shareholder of HK$3,837,321 (2001: 
HK$8,906,676).

The basic earnings per share is based on the number of ordinary shares in 
issue during the period amounting to 1,691,171,989 (2001: 1,691,171,989). 
The diluted earnings per share during the periods ended 30th June, 2002 
and 30th June, 2001 are not disclosed as the exercise of the share options 
outstanding at 30th June, 2002 and 30th June, 2001 would have no dilutive 
effect.
