The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the unaudited profit
attributable to shareholders of HK$555,259,000 (2001/2002: HK$385,196,000)
and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of
1,178,350,477 (2001/2002: 1,143,169,751).
The calculation of fully diluted earnings per share is based on the
unaudited profit attributable to shareholders of HK$555,259,000 (2001/2002:
HK$385,196,000), and the weighted average number of shares in issue during
the period of 1,183,715,121 (2001/2002: 1,167,511,920) 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.
