Basis of preparation and accounting policies The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants 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 January 1, 2005. The Group has not early adopted these new HKFRSs in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Group has already 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. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. 3. Earning per share The calculation of earnings per share was based on the profit attributable to shareholders of RMB12,801,000 (2003: RMB11,467,000) and the weighted average number of 400,004,000 shares (2003: 400,004,000 shares) in issue during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the outstanding warrants were considered as potential ordinary shares. No diluted earnings per share is presented for both the year ended 31st December, 2004 and the year ended 31st December, 2003 as the outstanding potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive for both years.
