For the period ended 31 March 2005, the adoption of the other remaining HKFRSs has no material impact on the results of the Group except the following: - HKFRS 2 "Share-based Payment" - HKAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation" and - HKAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". In accordance with HKFRS 2, the share options granted by the Company after 7 November 2002 are measured at fair value at the date of grant and recognized as expenses over the vesting period with the corresponding credit to an employee share- based compensation reserve under equity. With the adoption of HKFRS 2 retrospectively from 1 January 2005, the accumulated losses for each of the two years as at 1 January 2005 and 2004 have been adjusted upward by HK$7,563,000 and HK$1,666,000 respectively. The profit attributable to shareholders has been decreased by HK$512,000 for the period ended 31 March 2005 and HK$5,897,000 for the year ended 31 December 2004. The adjustment of the said HK$5,897,000 will be reflected in the prior year comparative figure in the full-year financial results for 2005. In accordance with HKAS 32 and HKAS 39, financial instruments of the Group have been re-classified as either available-for- sale or fair value through profit or loss. Change in fair value of an available-for-sale financial instrument would be recognized directly in investment revaluation reserve while such change for a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss would be recognized in the income statement.
