Remarks


The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable
to shareholders of HK$1,185,570,000 (2002: HK$927,210,000) and the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the year of 1,179,721,133
(2002: 1,152,349,097).

The calculation of fully diluted earnings per share is based on the profit
attributable to shareholders of HK$1,185,570,000 (2002: HK$927,210,000), and
the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year of 1,181,438,207
(2002: 1,159,817,263) after adjusting for the number of dilutive ordinary
shares deemed to be issued at no consideration based on the assumption that
all outstanding share options granted under the Company's share option schemes
had been exercised.
