Remarks:

1.      BASIS OF PREPARATION & PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the current year, the Group has applied, for the first time, a number 
of new Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS(s)"), Hong Kong 
Accounting Standards ("HKAS(s)") and Interpretations ("INT(s)") (
hereinafter collectively referred to as "new HKFRSs") issued by the Hong 
Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") that are 
effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005.  
The application of the new HKFRSs has resulted in a change in the 
presentation of the consolidated income statement, consolidated balance 
sheet and consolidated statement of changes in equity.  The changes in 
presentation have been applied retrospectively.  The adoption of the new 
HKFRSs has resulted in changes to the Group's accounting policies that 
have an effect on how the results for the current or prior accounting 
periods are prepared and presented.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance 
with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA.  In addition, the consolidated financial 
statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing 
the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Companies 
Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are 
measured at fair value.

2.      DIVIDEND

The final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2005 of HK$0.024 (
equivalent to approximately RMB0.025) (2004: HK$0.028 (equivalent to 
approximately RMB0.030)) per share has been proposed by the directors and 
is subject to approval by the shareholders in general meeting.

of the Company's outstanding share options as the exercise price of these 
options is higher than the average market price for the Company's shares 
for both years.
