2. Earnings/(loss) per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the period ended 31st 
January, 2001 is based on the net profit from ordinary activities 
attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$2,170,000
(1999: loss of HK$108,877,000) and the number of 504,612,390 shares (1999: 
841,021,000 shares) during the period.

A diluted earnings per share for the period ended 31st January, 2001 is 
not presented as there is no outstanding options exercisable as at the 
balance sheet date and a diluted loss per share for the period ended 30th 
September, 1999 is not shown because the share options outstanding during 
the period had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share for the 
period.  The loss per share for the period ended 30th September 1999 has 
taken into account of the consolidation of shares and rights issue.

3. Taxation

No provision has been provided for Hong Kong profits tax as the Group did 
not have any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the period. 
Taxes on profit assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of 
taxation prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates. Previous 
year over provision for taxation has been written back in the period. 

4. The financial year end date has been changed from 31st March to 31st 
July.
