CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
RESULTS
The audited consolidated loss for the year was US$467,000 compared with a profit
for the previous year amounted to US$522,000. Loss per share based on the
weighted number of shares in issue during the year was US 3 cents (2004:
Earnings per share of US 4 cents).
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
During the year under review, the Group maintained a minimum operation to
continue the realization of its remaining assets. The most significant income
received by the Group was US$148,000 resulting from further recovery of doubtful
debts.
In August 2005, the Group completed the sale of its Philippines subsidiary for a
consideration of USD363,000 net of expenses. This signifies our complete exit
from the Philippines.
Subsequent to the year end, the Group disposed to a third party its nominees
subsidiary which has been assigned the right to collect the remaining debtors,
for a consideration of US$271,000 thus completing our debt recovery programme.
PROSPECTS
On 6 December 2005, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., ("BTM"), a key
shareholder of the Company, sold its entire interest in 3,225,000 ordinary
shares, representing approximately 24.1% shareholding in the Company, to Grand
Acumen Holdings Limited ("GAH"). GAH is associated with the Mr. Henry Ying Chew
Cheong, the Company's Deputy Chairman. The Board has been informed by GAH its
intention to maintain the Group in the securities investment businesses which,
will change our current strategy of ceasing all business operations.
Shareholders will be informed of the relevant development in future.
I intend to retire from the board effective from the conclusion of the
forthcoming general meeting. Mr. Paul Kwok Kin Cheng, who has been managing the
company since 2003 and responsible for the realization of the Group's assets,
will also retire from the board on 27 April, 2006 and Mr. Henry Ying Chew Cheong
will be re-designated as an executive director on the same date.

NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
1. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the
"IASB") and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
("IFRIC") of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for
accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2005. The adoption of these new and
revised Standards and Interpretations has resulted in the changes to the Group's
accounting policies in the following area that have affected the amounts
reported for the current or prior years:
Investment Properties
In the current year, the Group has, for the first time, applied International
Accounting Standard 40 Investment Property ("IAS 40"). The Group has elected to
use the fair value model to account for its investment properties which requires
gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties
to be recognised directly in consolidated income statement for the year in which
they arise. In previous years, investment properties under the predecessor
Standard were measured at open market values, with revaluation surplus or
deficits credited or charged to revaluation reserve unless the balance on this
reserve was insufficient to cover a revaluation decrease, in which case the
excess of the revaluation decrease over the balance on the investment property
revaluation reserve was charged to the income statement. Where a decrease had
previously been charged to the income statement and a revaluation surplus
subsequently arose, that increase was credited to the income statement to the
extent of the decrease previously charged. The Group has applied IAS 40
retrospectively. Accordingly, the amount held in the revaluation reserve at 1
January 2004 has been transferred to the Group's accumulated losses. Comparative
figures for 2004 have been restated.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following
Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:
IAS 1 (Amendment) Capital Disclosures1
IAS 19 (Amendment) Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and
Disclosures2
IAS 21 (Amendment) Net Investment in a Foreign Operation2
IAS 39 (Amendment) Cash Flow Hedges of Forecast Intragroup Transactions2
IAS 39 (Amendment) The Fair Value Option2
IAS 39 and IFRS 4 (Amendments)Financial Guarantee Contracts2
IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources2
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures1
IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease2
IFRIC 5 Rights to Interests Arising from Decommissioning,
Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds2
IFRIC 6 Liabilities arising from Participating in a
Specific Market -
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment3
IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29
Financial
Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies4
IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 25
IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives6
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 December 2005
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2006
5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006
6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2006
The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and
Interpretations in the future periods will have no material impact on the
financial statements of the Group.
2. BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS
No business and geographical segment analysis are presented for the years ended
31 December 2005 and 31 December 2004 as the Group has only maintained a minimum
operation to continue the realization of its remaining assets in Hong Kong.

assessable profit for UK Corporation Tax, Hong Kong Profit Tax and tax in other
jurisdictions.
