BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS") (which includes all applicable HKFRS, Hong Kong Accounting Standards, Statements of Standard Accounting Practice, and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of the Stock Exchange (the "GEM Listing Rules"). The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The adoption of these new HKFRSs had no significant impact on the Group's results of operations and financial position. The accounting policies adopted in the 2004 annual financial statements have been consistently applied to the financial statements. The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is historical cost. The financial statements are unaudited but have been reviewed by the audit committee of the Company. 2. LOSS PER SHARE The calculation of basic loss per share for the three months ended 31 March 2005 is based on the unaudited loss attributable to shareholders of HK$627,000 (2004: HK$478,000) and the weighted average of 281,800,255 (2004: 202,000,000) ordinary shares in issue during the period. No diluted loss per share is presented for the three months ended 31 March 2005 and 31 March 2004 as there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares during these periods.
