12:44 LUKS IND(GROUP)<00366>- Amendment to Res Ann (Advised by Co) The Stock Exchange has received a message from Luks Industrial (Group) Limited which is reproduced as follows:- "We refer to our Results Announcement Form (the "Form") together with its Notes sent to the Exchange on April 26, 2005. We regret to inform the Exchange that due to mistakes made by staff of our auditors, Ernst & Young, the figure of the diluted EPS for the current period should be " HK$0.073" instead of "N.A.". In addition, some wordings on Notes 1 & 2 of Notes to Results Announcement (summary) for the year ended 31 December 2004 ("Notes"), have been omitted. The remarks (1) and (2) should read as follows: "1. Earning per share The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the net profit fro The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the net profit f 11,504,587) ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all warrants outstanding during the year; and the weighted average of 733,130 (2003: 2,551,431) ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all share options outstanding during the year. 2. Summary of Auditors' Report "Included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2004 is goodwill with a carrying amount of approximately HK$247 million. The subsidiary to which this goodwill is related is engaged in the manufacture and sale of health care products. The directors are of the opinion, based on a business valuation performed as at the balance sheet date, that the recoverable amount of the goodwill exceeds its carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet and no provision for impairment is necessary. However, the forecast revenue for the year ended 31 December 2004 on which the business valuation performed in the prior year was based was not met and furthermore, we have been unable to obtain sufficient reliable evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the reasonableness of the bases and assumptions used by the directors in arriving at the business valuation performed at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, in our view, a provision for impairment in respect of the goodwill should be made. However, in the absence of further information, we are unable to quantify the amount of the provision required. Any adjustment to the goodwill would have a consequential impact on the Group's net assets as at 31 December 2004 and results for the year then ended, on the amount of the interests in subsidiaries in the Company's balance sheet as at 31 December 2004 and the loss of the Company for the year then ended, and the related disclosures thereof in the financial statements. Except for the absence of a provision against the carrying amount of the goodwill of the Group and the amounts of the Company's interests in subsidiaries referred to above, in our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2004 and of the profit and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.""
