    1       Accounting Policies                                               
                                                                              
                                                                              
    The accounts have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted     
    accounting principles in Hong Kong and comply with the Hong Kong Financial
    Reporting Standards ("HKFRS") and Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS"),
    also collectively referred to as Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards  
    ("HKFRSs"), issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified                
    Public Accountants ("HKICPA").                                            
                                                                              
                                                                              
    HKICPA is pursuing its policy objective of full convergence with the      
    standards and interpretations established by the International Accounting 
    Standards Board ("IASB").  To this end, the HKICPA has recently issued    
    over a dozen new and revised HKFRSs, which are effective for the financial
    year beginning 1 January 2005, with the objective to eliminate, to the    
    greatest extent possible, the differences that currently exist between    
    HKFRSs and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Early    
    adoption of these standards is encouraged.  The Group has adopted         
    retrospectively, where required, the current interpretations of four of   
    those standards that are believed to have the most material effect on the 
    Group's accounts and, as a result, the profit attributable to shareholders
    in 2004 and 2003 have been materially affected and the 2003 profit is     
    required to be restated to be comparable on a consistent basis of         
    accounting.  The results of 2003 have been restated to reflect the        
    Group's early adoption, with retrospective effect where applicable, of    
    HKFRS 3 "Business Combinations", HKAS 36 "Impairment of Assets", HKAS 38  
    "Intangible Assets", HKAS 40 "Investment Property" and the adoption of    
    SSAP Interpretation 22 "The Appropriate Accounting Policies for           
    Infrastructure Facilities".
