Remark 1

LAST CORRESTPONDING PERIOD :

GAIN ON SETTLEMENT OF A LAWSUIT

On 25th January 2001, the Group filed a complaint against Lucent Technologies
Inc. ("Lucent") and Lucent Technologies Consumer Products, L.P. in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking damages and
related relief arising out of the acquisition by the Group of Lucent's
Wired Consumer Products Business in 2000.

On 7th June 2002, the Group and Lucent settled the lawsuit filed by the Group
against Lucent in January 2001 in a mutually satisfactory manner. There was no
admission of wrongdoing by either party. Under the terms of the settlement,
Lucent has agreed to adjust the purchase price of the acquisition downward by
US$50.0 million. The amount has been fully settled. The net receipt from the
settlement, after deducting incidental expenses, was credited to the
consolidated income statement.

                                                                     (unaudited)
