(2) Comparative figures
        
The presentation in the current year's financial statements has been 
modified in order to conform with the requirements of the new Statements 
of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP"s).  In adopting SSAP 1 (Revised) 
"Presentation of financial statements" and SSAP 2 (Revised) "Net profit or 
loss for the period, fundamental errors and changes in accounting 
policies",  comparative amounts have been restated in order to achieve a 
consistent presentation.

During the year, the Group has adopted SSAP 24 "Accounting for investments 
in securities" and has selected the alternative treatment for securities 
other than held-to-maturity securities.  The accounting treatment 
specified by SSAP 24 has been applied retrospectively - resulting in 
decrease in other securities revaluation reserve, capital reserve and an 
increase in retained profits at 1st July, 1998 of approximately HK$142 
million, HK$18 million and HK$16 million respectively, and a revaluation 
decrease in the current year of approximately HK$128 million (1999: an 
increase of approximately HK$142 million) and an increase in the net 
profit attributable to shareholders of the Group for the current year by 
HK$81,863,254 (1999: HK$169,388,061).
