        HKFRS 3 Business Combinations
        HK(SIC)-Int 21  Income Taxes - Recovery of Revalued Non-
                        depreciable Assets
        HK-Int 4        Leases - Determination of the Length of Lease Term 
                        in respect of Hong Kong Land Leases
                
        Except for HKASs 24, 32, 38, 39 and 40, HKFRS 2 and HK(SIC)-Int 21 
as stated below, the adoption of the above standards has had no material 
impact on the accounting policies of the Group and the Company and the 
methods of computation in the Group's and the Company's financial 
statements.
 

(a)     HKAS 24 - Related Party Disclosures
        
HKAS 24 has expanded the definition of related parties and affected the 
Group's related party disclosures.

(b)     HKAS 32 and HKAS 39 - Financial Instruments

        In prior years, the Group classified its investments in listed 
equity securities for trading purposes as short term investments, which 
were stated at their fair values on an individual basis with gains and 
losses recognised in the income statement.  Upon the adoption of HKAS 39, 
these securities held by the Group at 1st January 2005 in the amount of 
HK$1,420,287 are designated as equity investments at fair value through 
profit or loss under the transitional provisions of HKAS 39 and 
accordingly are stated at fair value with gains or losses being recognised 
in the income statement.

The adoption of HKAS 39 has not resulted in any change in the measurement 
of these equity securities.  Comparative amounts have been reclassified 
for presentation purpose. 

(c)     HKAS 38 - Intangible Assets     
        
        In prior years, the Group's intangible assets were amortised on 
the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years, 
less any impairment losses

        Upon the adoption of HKAS 38, the Group's eligibility rights to 
trade on or through The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock 
Exchange") and The Philippines Stock Exchange, Inc. are permitted to be 
regarded as having indefinite lives, which should not be amortised and are 
subject to annual impairment tests.  Under the transitional provision of 
HKAS 38, this change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively 
and therefore comparative amounts have not been restated. 
        
(d)     HKAS 40 - Investment Property

        In prior years, changes in the fair values of investment 
properties were dealt with as movements in the asset revaluation reserve.  
If the total of this reserve was insufficient to cover a deficit, on a 
portfolio basis, the excess of the deficit was charged to the income 
statement.  Any subsequent revaluation surplus was credited to the income 
statement to the extent of the deficit previously charged.

        Upon the adoption of HKAS 40, gains or losses arising from changes 
in the fair values of investment properties are included in the income 
statement in the year in which they arise.  

        The adoption of HKAS 40 has had no impact on the amounts disclosed 
in the financial statements.   
 
(e)     HKFRS 2 - Share-based Payment
        
In prior years, no recognition and measurement of share-based payment 
transactions in which employees (including directors) were granted share 
options over shares in the Company were required until such options were 
exercised by employees, at which time the share capital and share premium 
were credited with the proceeds received.

Upon the adoption of HKFRS 2, when employees (including directors) render 
services as consideration for equity instruments ("equity-settled 
transactions"), the cost of the equity-settled transactions with employees 
is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which the 
instruments are granted.

                The main impact of HKFRS 2 on the Group is the recognition 
of the cost of these transactions and a corresponding entry to equity for 
employee share options.  The revised accounting policy for share-based 
payment transactions is described in more detail in note 3.5 "Summary of 
significant accounting policies" below.

The Group has adopted the transitional provisions of HKFRS 2 under which 
the new measurement policies have not been applied to (i) options granted 
to employees on or before 7th November 2002; and (ii) options granted to 
employees after 7th November 2002 but which had vested before 1st January 
2005.

As the Group did not have any employee share options which were granted 
during the period from 7th November 2002 to 31st December 2004 but had not 
yet vested as at 1st January 2005, the adoption of HKFRS 2 has had no 
impact on the accumulated losses as at 31st December 2003 and at 31st 
December 2004.

(f)     HK(SIC)-Int 21 - Income Taxes - Recovery of Revalued Non-
depreciable Assets

In prior periods, deferred tax arising on the revaluation of investment 
properties was recognised based on the tax rate that would be applicable 
upon the sale of the investment properties.

Upon the adoption of HK(SIC)-Int 21, deferred tax arising on the 
revaluation of the Group's investment properties is determined depending 
on whether the properties will be recovered through use or through sale.  
The Group has determined that its investment properties will be recovered 
through use, and accordingly the profits tax rate has been applied to the 
calculation of deferred tax.  

The effects of the above changes are summarised in note 3.4 to the 
financial statements.  The change has been adopted retrospectively from 
the earliest period presented and comparative amounts have been restated.
