09:16 GDC<08271> - Quarterly Results Announcement (2) The Company had in aggregate 22,631,615 share options outstanding as at 31 December 2004. In accordance with the new HKFRSs, the fair value of these share options at grant date should have been amortised over the relevant vesting periods to the income statement, and this treatment should be applied retrospectively. However, on 13 January 2005, Shougang Concord Grand (Group) Limited, now the holding company of the Company, issued an offer document in respect of a voluntary conditional cash offer to cancel all the outstanding options of the Company (the "Cash Offer"). As at 31 March 2005, all the share options granted have been cancelled in accordance with the Cash Offer. There will not be any impact of the fair value of the share options on the income statement of the first quarter of 2005 and, in view of such, no prior year adjustment is done to the accumulated losses brought forward nor the results for the first quarter of 2004. The accounting policies and methods of computation used in preparing the unaudited consolidated results for the three months ended 31 March 2005 are consistent with those used in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004. 2. Loss per share The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the net loss for the period of approximately HK$7,037,000 (2004: HK$10,645,000) and the weighted average of 800,820,000 shares (2004: 780,000,000 shares) in issue during the period. No diluted loss per share has been calculated for the period ended 31 March 2005 as the exercise of the share options would result in a decrease in the loss per share. Diluted loss per share was not presented for the period ended 31 March 2004 because there was no potential ordinary shares in existence for that period.
