Earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended 31 December 2004 is based on the respective unaudited consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$12,346,000 and HK$12,437,000 (three months and nine months ended 31 December 2003: approximately HK$8,273,000 and HK$7,999,000 respectively) and the weighted average number of 845,640,000 (2003: 833,694,546) ordinary shares in issue during the period.
