The share subdivision took effect on 17th January, 2005. The weighted average number of ordinary shares for both years for the purposes of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share have been adjusted accordingly. The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31st December, 2004 did not assume the exercise of the Company's warrants, convertible notes payable and share options because the effect of exercising a warrant, a convertible note payable and an option to subscribe for an additional share in the Company would result in a decrease of net loss per share. The computation of diluted earning per share for the year ended 31st December, 2003 did not assume the exercise of the Company's warrants as the exercise price of these warrants was higher than the average market price for shares.
