Remarks:

1.      APPLICATION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 

        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 (the "HKICPA") that are 
effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2005.  
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 
and/or prior accounting years are prepared and presented.

The effects of changes in the accounting polices on the results of the 
Group for the current and prior years are as follows:

                                Effect of
