Remarks:

1.      Basis of presentation and accounting policies

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have 
been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 
"Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of 
Certified Public Accountants ("the HKICPA") and with the disclosure 
requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of 
Securities (the "Listing Rules") of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong 
Limited (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange"). These condensed consolidated 
financial statements are unaudited but have been reviewed by the Company's 
audit committee.

The basis of preparation and accounting policies adopted in preparing 
these condensed financial statements are consistent with those adopted in 
the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year 
ended 31 December 2005 except for the adoption of the following amendment 
mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006:

HKAS 39 and HKFRS 4 (Amendment)         Financial Guarantee Contracts

In accordance with the amendments to HKAS 39 regarding financial guarantee 
contracts, financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair 
value and are subsequently measured at the higher of (i) the amount 
determined in accordance with HKAS 37 and (ii) the amount initially 
recognised, less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in 
accordance with HKAS 18. The adoption of the above revised HKFRS has no 
material impact of the Group's interim financial statements.

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs 
relevant to the Group's financial statements, that have been issued but 
not yet effective in the period covered by these interim financial 
statements which are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2007:

HKAS 1 Amendment        Capital Disclosures
HKFRS 7                 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

The Group expects that the adoption of the pronouncements listed above 
will not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements 
in the period of initial application.

2.      Revenue and other income

Revenue, which is also the Group's turnover, represents the net invoiced 
value of goods sold, after allowances for returns and trade discounts, and 
services provided by the Group. All significant intra-group transactions 
have been eliminated on consolidation.

An analysis of the revenue and other income is as follows:

6.        Dividend

The Board has resolved not to declare any interim dividend for the Period 
(2005 June: Nil).

7.        Earnings per share 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit for the 
period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company of HK$57,
236,000 (2005 June: HK$69,933,000) and the weighted average of 640,000,000 
(2005 June: 640,000,000) ordinary shares in issue during the Period.

Diluted earnings per share for the period ended 30 June 2006 has not been 
disclosed, as the share options outstanding during the Period had an anti
-dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share during the period.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the period ended 30 June 
2005 was based on the profit for the period attributable to ordinary 
equity holders of the Company of HK$69,933,000. The weighted average of 
641,324,000 ordinary shares in issue during that period, comprising 640,
000,000 ordinary shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation, 
and the weighted average of 1,324,000 ordinary shares assumed to have been 
issued on the deemed exercise of all share options outstanding during that 
period.
