NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
31 December <strong>2003</strong><br />
24. Reserves<br />
(continued)<br />
NOTES:<br />
(a) The contributed surplus of the Group represents the difference between the nominal value of share capital of the subsidiaries acquired pursuant<br />
to the Group Reorganisation on 28 November 2001, over the nominal value of the shares in the Company issued in exchange therefor; and the<br />
revaluation surplus arose pursuant to an investment and shareholders’ agreement dated 23 April 1998 in relation to certain concession rights<br />
transferred. The revaluation reserve is treated as the cost of the assets acquired, and accordingly the related account has been transferred to the<br />
contributed surplus.<br />
(b) The contributed surplus of the Company represents the difference between the then combined net asset value of the subsidiaries acquired<br />
pursuant to the same reorganisation over the nominal value of the shares of the Company’s shares issued in exchange therefor.<br />
Under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, the Company may make distributions to its shareholders out of the contributed surplus under<br />
certain circumstances.<br />
