The company was incorporated in Hong Kong on 23 December 1992. In December 1993, the Company successfully launched an initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are principally engaged in the manufacture of household electrical appliances, which include air-conditioners, refrigerators and mini-refrigerators. 2. The results of the Group 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 results of the Group include the audited consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. 3. The 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 the accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2005. The Group has not early adopted these new HKFRSs in the accounts for the year ended 31st December 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 the operation and financial position. 4. The calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are based on Group's loss attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$628,755,000 (2003: HK$76,976,000). The basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of 1,559,091,205 (2003: 1,382,030,711) ordinary shares in issue during the year. The diluted loss per share is based on 1,560,037,062 (2003: 1,383,854,099) ordinary shares which is the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year plus the weighted average number of 945,857 (2003: 1,823,388) ordinary shares deemed to be issued at the agreed exercise prices as if all outstanding share options had been exercised.
