The weighted average number of ordinary shares for both years for the 
purpose of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share has been adjusted 
for the share consolidation on 29 September 2005 whereby every 100 issued 
and unissued shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company 
were consolidated into one new ordinary share of HK$1.00 each.

The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume the exercise 
of the Company's outstanding share options as the exercise price of those 
options is higher than the average market price of shares during the year 
ended 31 July 2005.

No diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 July 2004 had been 
presented as the exercise price of the Company's options was higher than 
the average market price of shares during the year and the conversion of 
the Company's outstanding convertible notes would result in a decrease in 
net loss per share.
