luminaire series products. Its products mainly include the ordinary bulb, decorative
bulb, iodine-tungsten lamp, bromine-tungsten lamp, single-end lamp, automobile
lamp, motorcycle lamp, high-tension mercury lamp, high-tension Na lamp, metal
halide lamp, T8 and T5 fine-caliber and highly energy-saving fluorescent lamp,
compact fluorescent lamp and reflection cup, as well as the accessories mainly for
T8 and T5 energy-saving lamps. In 2002, the company has made a constant and fast
development in its production and business. Despite of the falling of prices for
some products like T8, braking light, turning light and instrument light, because the
company has quickened the expansion of its production scale, and strictly
controlled its business cost, enlarged the structural regulation of the products,
speeded up the investment for “Green Lighting Project”, continuously reduced the
product cost, gradually strengthened its market competitive power, maintained its
exchange earnings by foreign sales and export, and continued to improve its
economic growth speed and benefits. The total bulb output of the year has increased

The company continues to keep the advantageous trend of constant stable increase,
and there is no change of its main business compared with last year.
19
(2) Business operation and results of affiliated enterprise controlled and
invested by the company: Wuzhang Bulbs Factory, Nanhai, is an affiliated enterprise
controlled by the company, with its registered capital of RMB 3 million. It mainly
produces ordinary lighting bulbs, motorcycle bulbs and high-pressure mercury
bulbs, as well as auxiliary semi products. QL Lamps and Components Limited,
Foshan. is the sino-foreign joint venture invested by the company, with the
registered capital of USD 1.8 million. It mainly produces special optical sources
and lighting fittings such as bromine-tungsten lamp, with total assets of RMB 12
million. Liangke Investment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, was incorporated in Nov., 2000,
with the registered capital of RMB 80 million. Foshan Electrical & Lighting has

fine achievements.
Besides, the company has also made less investments in China Everbright Bank,
Bank of Communications, Fochen Highway in Foshan and Zhujiang Property

top five suppliers have made up 15.23% of the total purchasing amount of the year,
and the sales amount of the top five clients made up 14.78% of the total sales of the
company.
4. Existing operational problems and remedies of the company: the
competition in bulb industry is still quite violent. Firstly, enterprises have rushed to
cut the price of products, seriously interfering the market, and forcing our company
to reduce the price of some products. Secondly, our famous products and their
patent packages have been imitated by more and more lawbreaking merchants,
making our sales more difficult, and seriously affecting our market sales. Thirdly,
because of the rise of prices of fuels, energies and some major materials, the
product cost has increased. And, also because the supply of electro-optical
products in the domestic market still exceeds the demand, the competition in the
market becomes more and more violent. Facing such difficulties, all staff in the
company have united together, smoothed away the difficulties, and made all efforts
for development and advancing. To outcome these problems, the company shall (i)
greatly develop technical innovation, improve the process and production
efficiency, reduce the staff and promote the efficiency at the same time, and reduce
20
the production cost of products; (ii) control the purchase of raw materials, choose
the most suitable materials, reduce the purchase price of raw materials, quicken the
circulation of funds, and improve the use efficiency of funds; (iii) expand the
production scale, improve the product quality and strengthen the competitive force.
The company will quicken its step to introduce the equipment, produce the new
products centering the fine-caliber, highly energy-saving and high-tech T8
fluorescent lamp, make T8 fluorescent lamp as the leading product of the company,
and expand the market coverage; and (iv) actively coordinate with the relevant legal
departments, and crack down the imitations by laws. Meanwhile, the company will
take all effective measures to strengthen the imitation-free ability of its products.
(III) Investment of the company.
1. Use of funds raised
(1) In the last half of 2000, the company has actually raised RMB 667 million
by issuing more shares, and invested in the 9 investment projects disclosed in the

534 million has already been invested, with RMB 133 million raised funds
remained and deposited in the special account for funds raised by shares established

l The total assets have increased by RMB 115.96 million, mainly due to the increase of

l The shareholders’ equity has increased by RMB 77.21 million, mainly due to the profit
distribution of this year.
l The main business profits have increased by RMB 81.30 million, mainly due to the
continuous increase of sales income this year, the reduce of cost, and the change of tax
policy for export products as “tax exemption, setoff and rebate” now.
l The net profits have increased by RMB 29.23 million, mainly due to the increase of main
business profits.
l The cash and cash equivalent have reduced by RMB 22.07 million, mainly due to the
increase of net cash flow from the investment activity than that of last year.
(V) Business plan in the new year.
(1) Expand the production scale for T8, T5 energy saving lamps, automotive
lamps and luminaire, fasten the development, continue to enlarge the production
scale, and occupy the dominant position in market competition.
23
(2) Make technical innovation and new product development. The new product
development shall be a new growth point for profits of the company, as well as the
basic condition for enterprise development. In the new year, the company will
speed up the technical innovation, and develop new varieties and new models for
fluorescent lamps, fine-caliber energy-saving lamps and luminaire, to suit the
demand on the market. Meanwhile, it will strengthen the quality control, constantly
improve the equipment and production technology, and steadily promote the
production quality.
(3) Strengthen the cost control, and improve the market competitive power of
products. The company will further perfect and carry out the arrangement for
production material consumption, personnel quota, piecework plan and saving plan.
It shall control the raw material cost and reduce the consumption. It shall also
improve the energy-consuming equipment by reforming and introducing the
petroleum gas system, and strengthen the energy equipment and technology, to
reduce the consuming costs of water, electricity, fuel and gas.
(4) Promote the sales of products. The company will promote the sales by all
kinds of measures. First of all, it will develop the secondary market and rural
market, and expand the coverage for sales. Secondly, it shall mobilize the activity of
dealers, and develop the potentiality of distributors, to guarantee the successful
sales of products. Thirdly, the company will broadly promote the brand image of the
company by all channels, attend the national lighting exhibitions, to exhibit and
publicize the product and image of the company, and promote the sales. While
developing the domestic market, it will also export more products and earn more
foreign exchanges by making full use of the superior conditions with the accession
to WTO.
(5) Train and educate the staff members well, and fully mobilize their activity
in production. The company will arrange more training for its employees, and
improve their professional knowledge, safety awareness and operation skills by

as the evaluators, and implement the system of rewards. Considerably arrange the
jobs of staff members based on the need of production, and mobilize their activities

“Implementation Plan for Share Incentive Funds for Senior and Middle-Rank
Management Personnel”, standardize it and carry it in real earnest, stabilize and
attract more talents, and promote the long-term steady development of the
company.
24
(VI) Influence by the China’s accession to WTO
After the accession to WTO, the imported electro-optical products may
increase, but will not increase too much due to their high prices. As the
electro-optical products produced at home have complete varieties and competitive
advantages in price, import products will take a small part, having little influence to
the electro-optical industry. However, the accession to WTO will have both
advantage and disadvantage to the company. The advantage is that because our
company has constantly improved our quality, and has quite complete product
varieties and a certain competitive force, it will possibly further expand the
exportation based on the good achievements in export during the past years,
relieving the situation of domestic products with supply exceeding the supply. The
disadvantage is that after the accession to WTO, because the import duties have
reduced, more optical products with special purposes abroad will enter into the
Chinese market, adversely affecting the company producing the same kinds of
products.
The antidumping implemented by EU to energy-saving lamps with electronic
ballast exported from China has no affection to our product exportation at all.
(VII) Routine operation of the Board of Directors.

Notes on the financial statements
1 Significant accounting policies
Foshan Electrical and Lighting Company Limited (the “Company”) is a company
domiciled in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2002 comprise the
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).
(a) Statement of compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) promulgated
by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRS includes
International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and related interpretations.
(b) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis
except that property, plant and equipment were stated at their revalued amount as
stated in note 10 and investments held for trading were stated at their fair value.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Company. Control exists
when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and
operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The
financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date that
control ceases.
(ii) Associate
Associate is an enterprise in which the Group has significant influence, but not
control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial
statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of
the associate on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence
commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s
share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate, the carrying amount
is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the
extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.

(c) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains arising from
intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial
statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with the associate are
eliminated, to the extent of the Group’s interest in the enterprise, against the
investment in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(d) Translation of foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Renminbi Yuan at the foreign
exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into
Renminbi Yuan at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation (see note 10) less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(l)). The cost of
property, plant and equipment constructed by the Group includes the cost of
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable
overheads.
When an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the
increase is credited directly to equity under the component of revaluation reserve.
However, a revaluation increase is recognised as income to the extent that it
reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised as an
expense. When an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a
revaluation, the decrease is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income
statement. However, a revaluation decrease is charged directly against any related
revaluation surplus to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held
in the revaluation reserve in respect of that same asset. Revaluations are
performed periodically to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ
materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance
sheet date.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic
benefits embodied in the item of property, plant and equipment. All other
expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

(e) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives, after taking into account their estimated residual values, of
items of property, plant and equipment.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 20 to 30 years
Plant and machinery 3 to 28 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 3 to 14 years
Motor vehicles 3 to 12 years
Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally
constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and ready for its intended
use.
(f) Lease prepayments
Lease prepayments represent land use rights paid to the PRC’s land bureau. Land
use rights are carried at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over the
respective periods of the rights which range from 40 years to 50 years.
(g) Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents properties under construction and equipment
purchased prior to installation, which includes construction and acquisition costs,
less impairment losses (see note 1(l)). Capitalisation of these costs ceases and
the construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when substantially all the
activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed.
No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress until it is
completed and ready for its intended use.
(h) Investments
Listed investments held for trading are classified as current assets and are stated at
fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the income statement.
Other unlisted investments held by the Group are classified as being
available-for-sale and are stated at cost, less provision for impairment losses (see
note 1(l)). A provision is made where, in the opinion of management, there is an
impairment in the value of an investment.
The fair value of investments held for trading is their quoted bid price at the
balance sheet date.

Foshan Electrical and Lighting Company Limited
Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2002
1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(h) Investments (continued)
Investments held for trading and available-for-sale investments are recognised/
derecognised by the Group on the date it commits to purchase/sell the investments.
On derecognition, the difference between the net proceeds received or receivable
and the carrying amount of the investments are accounted for in the income
statement.
(i) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principle and includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing
location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in
progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads.
(j) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less allowance for any amounts
expected to be irrecoverable. All allowance is provided for based upon the
evaluation of the recoverability of these accounts at the balance sheet date.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and deposits with banks and other
financial institutions, maturing within three months.
(l) Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, other than inventories (see note 1(i)),
deferred tax assets (see note 1(o)) and financial assets stated at fair value, are
reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an
asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment
losses are recognised in the income statement.
(i) Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their net selling price and
value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash
inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs.

1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(l) Impairment (continued)
(ii) Reversals of impairment
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation or amortisation, if an impairment loss had been
recognised.
(m) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or
constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
(n) Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
(o) Income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax
rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment
of tax payable for previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following
temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax
purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither
accounting nor taxable profit, and the differences relating to investments in
subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reversed in the foreseeable
future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of
realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax
rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred
tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax
benefit will be realised.

(p) Revenue recognition
In relation to the sale of goods, revenue is recognised when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and no significant
uncertainties remain regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs
or the possible return of goods.
Dividend income is accounted for when the shareholder’s right to receive payment
is established.
Interest income from bank deposits is accrued on a time-apportioned basis on the
principal outstanding and at the rate applicable.
(q) Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.
(r) Employee benefits
Contributions to defined contribution retirement schemes are recognised as an
expense in the income statement as incurred.
2 Revenue
The principal activities of the Group are the manufacture and sale of electrical
lightings.
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods supplied to customers, net of value
added tax.
3 Segment reporting
The Group’s profits are almost entirely attributable to its manufacture and sale of
electrical lightings in the PRC. Accordingly, no segmental analysis is provided.

Notes:
(i) Pursuant to a resolution passed in the Board Meeting held on 25 March 2002
and the approval by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
held on 16 May 2002, the Company established a Senior Management
Incentive Scheme (the “Scheme”). According to the Scheme, incentive
payments are to be made to the senior management when the Company’s
return on net assets for the year is 6% or above, which is measured based on
the Company’s annual net profit determined under PRC accounting standards.
No incentive payments would be made if the return on net assets is less than
6%. The Scheme was effective from 2001 retrospectively. In 2002,
provisions for incentive payments of RMB14 million and RMB17 million
have been made in relation to the years of 2001 and 2002, respectively, and
the amounts of provisions are included in 2002 administrative expenses.

Valuation
As required by the relevant PRC rules and regulations, the assets and liabilities of
the Company were revalued at 30 April 1993 by Guangzhou Assets Appraisal
Corporation using the depreciated replacement cost method prior to the listing of
the Company’s A shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The surplus on
revaluation was taken directly to revaluation surplus.
In accordance with IAS 16, subsequent to this revaluation, which was based on
depreciated replacement costs, property, plant and equipment are carried at
revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any
subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluation is
performed periodically to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ
materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance
sheet date. Based on a revaluation performed by Directors as of 31 December
2002, which was based on depreciated replacement costs, the carrying value of
property, plant and equipment did not differ materially from their fair value.
Impairment
In 2001, certain machinery became idle due to technological change. After
assessing the recoverable amount of such machinery, impairment losses of
Rmb6,541,558 were made. No impairment loss was made in 2002.

Registered, issued and fully paid up capital
The registered capital comprises 275,948,259 (2001: 275,948,259) ordinary A shares and 82,500,000 (2001: 82,500,000) ordinary B shares. All shares were issued and have a
par value of Rmb 1.
Revaluation surplus
The revaluation surplus relates to the revaluation of certain property, plant and equipment on 30 April 1993 (see note 10) which is not distributable.
Distributable retained earnings
According to the Company’s Articles of Association, the retained earnings available for distribution are the lower of the amount determined under PRC accounting standards and
amount determined under IFRS. As of 31 December 2002, the retained earnings available for distribution were Rmb72,319,396 (2001: Rmb69,253,148), after taking into account
of the current year’s proposed final dividend and the transfers to other reserves.
Statutory surplus reserve
According to the current PRC Company Law and the Company’s articles of association, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its profit after taxation to statutory surplus
reserve until the surplus reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. For the purpose of calculating the transfer to reserve, the profit after taxation shall be the amount
determined under PRC accounting standards. The transfer to this reserve has to be made before distribution of dividend to shareholders.

Statutory staff welfare reserve
According to the current PRC Company Law and the Company’s articles of
association, the Company is required to transfer 5% to 15% (at the discretion of
the Board of Directors) of its profit after taxation (determined under PRC
accounting standards) to its statutory staff welfare reserve. The statutory staff
welfare reserve can only be used for the collective benefits of the Company’s
employees such as the construction of dormitories, canteen and other staff welfare
factilities. The reserve forms part of the shareholders’ equity as individual
employees can only use these facilities, the title of which will remain with the
Company. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of
dividend to shareholders. The Directors have resolved to transfer 10% (2001:
5%) of the current year’s profit to this reserve on 26 March 2003.
Discretionary surplus reserve
The usage of this reserve is similar to that of statutory surplus reserve. The
transfer to this reserve must be made out of its profit after taxation (determined
under PRC accounting standards), but before distribution of dividend to
shareholders. The Directors have resolved to transfer 5% (2001: Nil) of the
current year’s profit to this reserve on 26 March 2003.

21 Financial instruments and concentration of risks
Financial assets of the Group principally include cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables, deposits and other receivables, and investments. Financial liabilities
of the Group principally include trade and other payables and accruals.
Accounting policies for financial assets and liabilities are set out in note 1.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting
date if counterparties failed to perform completely as contracted. The Group
does not have significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty. To
reduce exposure to credit risk, the Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of
the financial condition of its customers but generally does not require collateral.
The Group deposits substantially all the cash and cash equivalents with the four
largest state-owned banks of the PRC. The Group is exposed to credit-related
losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments
but, based on the Group’s credit assessment and the past repayment records of the
counterparties, management does not expect any material counterparty to fail to
meet its obligations.
At balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The
maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each
financial asset in the balance sheet.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Group incurs foreign currency risk on certain trade receivables of
Rmb28,243,928 (2001: Rmb27,351,991) and cash and cash equivalents of
Rmb20,819,370 (2001: Rmb37,701,271) that are denominated in United States
dollars. Fluctuation of the exchange rate of United States dollars against
Renminbi Yuan will affect the Group’s financial position and results of operations.

(c) Fair value
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is
made in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32 and IAS 39. Fair value
estimates, methods and assumptions, set forth below for the Group’s financial
instruments, are made to comply with the requirements of IAS 32 and IAS 39, and
should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements
and related notes. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the
Group using market information and valuation methodologies considered
appropriate. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data
to develop the estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realised in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.
The following summarise the major methods and assumptions used in estimating
the fair values of the Group’s financial instruments.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, deposits and
other receivables, trade and other payables and accruals approximate fair value due
to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair values of the Group’s listed equity investments are estimated by referring
to the market prices obtained from the relevant stock exchanges.
There are no quoted market prices for unlisted equity investments. Accordingly, a
reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made without incurring excessive
costs. However, provision for impairment losses of Rmb11,850,000 (2001:
Rmb8,850,000) was made at 31 December 2002 (see note 14).
22 Commitments
(a) Capital expenditure commitments
As at 31 December 2002, the Group had capital expenditure commitments
authorised and contracted for but not provided for in the financial statements
amounting to approximately Rmb24,957,416 (2001: Rmb48,471,000).
(b) Operating lease payments
Minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating lease are payable as
follows:
2002 2001
Rmb Rmb
Less than one year 1,169,000 3,129,200
Between one and five years 4,676,000 4,676,000

(b) Operating lease payments (continued)
The Group leases a land use right under operating lease. The lease typically runs

During the year ended 31 December 2002, Rmb3,129,200 was recognised as an
expense in the income statement in respect of operating leases (2001:
Rmb3,129,200).
23 Earnings per share
(a) Basic earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share at 31 December 2002 was based on the
profit attributable to shareholders of Rmb218,582,323 (2001: Rmb189,354,006)
and the number of shares in issue during the year ended 31 December 2002 of
358,448,259 (2001: 358,448,259).
(b) Diluted earnings per share
No diluted earnings per share is calculated as there are no dilutive potential shares.
24 Group enterprises
(a) Details of the subsidiaries, both of which are established and operating in the PRC,
are as follows:
Percentage of
Name of company equity held Principal activity
Wuzhuang Factory 100% Manufacture of
lighting products
QL Lamps and Components 40% Manufacture of
Limited (“QLLC”) (note b) lighting products
(b) As the Group has effective control of QLLC through the power of governing the
financial and operating policies of the economic activity under a contractual
arrangement, QLLC has been accounted for as a subsidiary.

Dividend payable of Rmb8,135,171 in 2001 has been reclassified to “accruals and
other payables” to conform with the current year’s presentation.
