Its shares have been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") since 7th December 2004. Pursuant to a group reorganization (the "Reorganization") in preparation for the listing of the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange, the Company became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group on 20 November 2004. The Reorganization involved companies under common control and the Company and its subsidiaries resulting from the Reorganization are regarded as a continuing group. Accordingly, the Reorganization has been accounted for on the basis of merger accounting, under which consolidated accounts have been prepared as if the Company had been the holding company of the companies comprising the Group throughout the accounting years presented. (b) The accounts have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and comply with accounting standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain properties and the warehouse automated storage retrieval system have been stated at valuation. (c) HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and Hong Kong Accounting Standards (''new HKFRSs'') which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The Group has not early adopted these new HKFRSs in the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2004. The Group has commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a significant impact on its results of operations and financial position.
