|(1) | Under Hong Kong GAAP, cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet are defined as:
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | CashCash at bank and on hand and deposits with any bank or other financial institution. Cash includes cash on hand and deposits denominated in foreign currencies.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cash equivalentsShort-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash equivalents would also include bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of our cash management.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | We have defined adjusted EBITDA to mean earnings before interest income, finance costs,
non-operating income/expenses, provision for income tax, depreciation of property, plant and equipment but after amortization of programming rights and impairment loss on investment as computed under Hong Kong GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a standard
measure under either Hong Kong GAAP or U.S. GAAP. You should not consider our definition of adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an indicator of operating performance, liquidity or any other standard measure under either Hong Kong GAAP or U.S. GAAP.
We believe net income provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable financial measure for adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of our operating performance. For our managements explanation of how we define EBITDA and why we use
it, see Item 5Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsOperating ResultsNon-GAAP Financial Measures.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Capital expenditures relate to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment only.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Under Hong Kong GAAP, prior to 2003, certain bank deposits and bank loans were offset against
each other and were not included above. Such bank deposits and bank loans matured or were repaid during 2003.

EXCHANGE RATES

The Hong Kong dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 17, 1983, the Hong Kong dollar has been linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 per US$1.00.
The central element in the arrangements which give effect to the link is an agreement between the Hong Kong Government and the three Hong Kong banknote issuing banks: The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Standard Chartered Bank and
the Bank of China. Under this agreement, the Hong Kong Government Exchange Fund issues certificates of its indebtedness to the banknote issuing banks to cover the issuances of banknotes. When the banknotes are withdrawn from circulation, the
banknote issuing banks surrender the certificates of indebtedness to the Hong Kong Government Exchange Fund and are paid the equivalent U.S. dollars at the fixed rate.

Under the 1984 Joint Declaration between The Peoples Republic of China, or PRC, and the United Kingdom, the Hong Kong dollar would continue to circulate and remain freely convertible after July 1, 1997,
when Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. However, no assurance can be given that the Hong Kong Government, or any successor SAR government will maintain the link of HK$7.80 per US$1.00.

The following table sets forth the Hong Kong Dollar Noon Buying Rate as at and for the periods indicated.

i-CABLE is subject to various changing regulatory, competitive, economic, political and social risks and
conditions, which are described below:

Any significant change in our ability to pay dividends or our dividend policy may adversely
affect the market price of our ordinary shares and ADSs.

Although we have declared and paid dividends in respect of the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, there can be no assurance that we will declare and pay dividends in the future or that we will maintain our current dividend policy. Any significant change in our ability to pay a dividend or our
dividend policy may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares and ADSs.

We reported net losses in previous years and
we may incur net losses in the future.

Although we have recorded net profits for each year since 2000, we reported net losses from
1993 when we began our pay-TV operation until 1999. As of December 31, 2005, our consolidated accumulated losses were HK$4,617 million (US$595 million). Our ability to maintain profitability will depend on the growth of our existing business
and the success of our new products and services, as well as general market conditions. If we do not remain profitable or our accumulated losses are not offset by future profits, our financing needs may increase, we may not be able to pay dividends
in the future and the market price of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs may be adversely affected.

We may need to incur substantial
capital expenditures to keep pace with technological developments or our customers demand for new products and services. This may adversely affect our financial condition.

The markets for pay-TV, Internet access services and related services are characterized by rapidly changing technology, industry standards, subscriber
needs and new products and services. The emerging nature of these products and services and their rapid evolution will require us to continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our network, Internet content and consumer
services, especially in response to our competitors offerings.

We may not be successful in responding quickly, cost effectively or
sufficiently to these developments. In addition, services or technologies developed by competitors may render our services or technologies undesirable or obsolete. Some of our competitors offer broadband Internet access service with bandwidth
advantage over our broadband Internet access service in the residential market. Furthermore, changing our services in response to market demand may require the adoption of new technologies that could render many of our assets less competitive or
obsolete. Even if we respond successfully to technological advances and emerging industry standards, the integration of new technology may require substantial capital expenditures. This may adversely affect our financial condition. We may not be
successful in modifying our network infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner. In addition, our new products and services may contain design flaws or other defects that could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating
results. We do not intend to conduct our own research and development of new technologies.

Illegal viewing activities may affect our
pay-TV subscriber growth and subscription revenue.

Our pay-TV business is dependent upon subscription revenue. We are aware that
some viewers in Hong Kong use unauthorized pay-TV decoders to receive our pay-TV service illegally. Although we have migrated our transmissions from analog to digital platforms in order to better control and limit illegal viewing activities,
manufacturers or vendors of unauthorized pay-TV decoders still attempt to overcome our digital encryption methods. Illegal activities have continued and we are aware that pirated digital set-top-boxes are available in the market. We have been
deploying countermeasures to combat such activities. If we fail to deploy appropriate and timely countermeasures in response to such activities, illegal viewing activities may grow. Such illegal viewing activities will adversely affect the growth of
our pay-TV subscriber base and our subscription revenue.

The loss of key employees, including senior management, and our failure to recruit qualified
personnel as needed could weaken our strategic, technological and operational expertise, delay the introduction of new products and services and lower the quality of our services.

In late 2005 and early 2006, two members of our senior management decided to leave us. We may not be able to attract and retain key employees, including
our senior management. Our key employees may be recruited by our competitors. This could hinder the introduction of our new products and services as planned. Our operations could suffer with the loss of any member of our senior management team or
any key employee. Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel for strategic planning, programming and enhanced services, including Internet, marketing and network operations. The competition for qualified
personnel in the Internet services and pay-TV industry may increase in the future, making it difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel in the Internet services and pay-TV industry.

Our programming costs are substantial and may increase, which could reduce our margins if we are unable to pass on any such increase to our
subscribers.

The growth and revenues for our pay-TV services depend on our ability to produce or purchase programming that is
affordable to our subscribers. The cost of some of our acquired programming has increased in the past and may increase substantially in the future if competition in the pay-TV and television services markets intensifies. If we are not able to pass
on programming cost increases to our subscribers, our revenues, cash flow and operating margins may be reduced.

We carry various soccer
events on our pay-TV platform. The costs of the exclusive rights to carry these soccer events have increased in the past. In particular, the English Premier League has been the most popular soccer event on our platform. The cost of the exclusive
rights to carry the English Premier League increased substantially when we acquired the rights for the Hong Kong market in 2004. The exclusive rights to carry the English Premier League will expire in May 2007. In future, the costs of the exclusive
rights to carry the English Premier League as well as other soccer events may increase significantly. If we are not able to pass on the increase in these costs to our subscribers, our revenues, cash flow and operating margins may be reduced.

New digital pay-TV channels may add to our programming costs and may adversely affect our profitability.

Digital broadcasting allows the compression of pay-TV signals, which increases our effective channel capacity. We intend to utilize this additional
capacity by increasing the number of pay-TV channels offered on our digital platform. We now offer 102 channels with 63 channels in our basic package. During 2005, a total of 9 new channels were added to our digital platform. The channels were
either included in the basic package or premium packages to derive additional revenues from existing as well as new subscribers. We may not be able to limit the total costs of production or the acquisition of content for these new channels. If such
programming costs are significant and we are unable to pass on these costs to our pay-TV subscribers, our profitability may be adversely affected.

Demand for our broadband Internet access service may not continue to grow.

The success of our broadband Internet
access service (also known as broadband service) will require continued growth in the use of the Internet and the demand for broadband services in Hong Kong. Although our broadband Internet subscriber base has been growing since the
launch of the service in March 2000, this growth trend may not continue. Critical issues concerning the increased use of the Internet, including security, reliability, cost, ease of access and quality of service are likely to affect future demand
for our broadband service. The competitive pressures to provide low-cost broadband access may impact our ability to charge subscription fees at favorable rates. The demand for our broadband access service may decline or it may not command the fees
necessary to permit us to maintain or increase the profitability of our broadband business.

The competition we face from other television broadcasters and Internet service providers may cause
us to lose market share.

Other operators began rolling out bundled (voice, data and television) service in earnest in 2004, causing
the markets for pay-television, Internet access and related services in Hong Kong to grow more competitive. Both PCCW and Hong Kong Broadband Network began to roll out bundled packages with aggressive marketing and pricing strategies. In response,
we rolled out a bundled pay-TV and broadband package in May 2004. We subsequently rolled out pay-TV and broadband packages that are bundled with local VoIP service provided by one of our affiliates. The VoIP service enables subscribers to make and
receive calls using traditional telephone handsets connected to a voice-enabled cable modem. In June 2005, PCCW completed the acquisition of a mobile phone service provider named SUNDAY Communications Limited. Since the acquisition, PCCW has
marketed voice, data or television services that are bundled with the mobile phone service offered by SUNDAY Communications Limited. Since we do not presently operate any mobile phone service, we are not able to provide any pay TV or broadband
service that are bundled with mobile phone service without any cooperation with a local mobile phone service provider. Our competitors may in the future become even more aggressive in pricing their services. This may lead us to further reduce our
prices for similar services, causing our revenue to decline. This high level of competition may also result in a loss of our subscribers and may significantly increase our programming costs, resulting in a decrease in our cash flow and operating
margin.

We face strong competition in the television services market from Hong Kongs free-to-air networks, Asia Television Limited
and Television Broadcasts Limited, commonly known as ATV and TVB. The Hong Kong Government announced in July 2004 the implementation framework for digital terrestrial TV (DTT). The existing two terrestrial TV broadcasters, ATV and TVB, are required
to launch DTT by 2007 and achieve at least 75% of coverage in 2008. Subject to further market and technical studies, the Government aims to switch off analog broadcasting in 2012. DTT will among other things enable the addition of free-to-air TV
channels in Hong Kong and may cause our pay-TV service to lose market appeal.

In addition, two pay-TV services were launched during the
third quarter of 2003. They are operated by the incumbent telecommunications service provider, PCCW, and another telecommunications service provider, Hong Kong Broadband Network. In February 2004, Galaxy Satellite Broadcasting Limited, or Galaxy,
launched its pay-TV service under the brand name SuperSUN TV, which was renamed TVB Pay Vision following the conclusion of a carriage agreement with PCCW in 2006. Galaxy is 49% owned by TVB, the dominant free-to-air television operator in Hong Kong.
These new pay-TV service providers may cause us to lose market share and encounter pricing pressure in the future.

The opening up of
our network to other service providers may negatively affect our revenues and profitability.

Under our fixed telecommunication
network services license, we are required to open up our network to other telecommunications and television service providers through interconnection arrangements. The opening up of our network may lead to increased competition which may negatively
affect our subscriber base, revenues and operating profit. Although we expect to derive revenues from the service providers to whom we open up our network, we may not be able to charge these service providers fees high enough to compensate for the
loss in revenues and operating profit due to increased competition. If this is the case, the revenues from, and operating profit of, our pay-TV and broadband business may be negatively affected.

We may encounter pricing pressure and experience an adverse impact on our subscriber base for broadband Internet access service as a result of
competition from alternative Internet access platforms.

The Hong Kong Government is creating a regulatory regime that will
accelerate the introduction of new broadband and wireless platforms in Hong Kong. The development of these alternative Internet access platforms, such as third-generation mobile phone services, satellite interactive services, and local wireless
fixed network services may intensify competition. As a result, we may encounter pricing pressure and experience an adverse impact on our subscriber base for our broadband Internet access service.

##### Table of Contents

We may not be able to acquire or retain the right to broadcast certain TV content.

Our pay-TV service includes broadcasting of TV content that we acquire from third parties. In the event we do not acquire or retain
the right to broadcast certain TV content, we may acquire rights to broadcast alternative TV content in substitution. Such alternative TV content may not be available on the same terms, or at all, and any loss of TV content or inability to obtain
the rights to provide suitable alternative TV content could adversely affect the quality of our pay-TV service. In the event that we retain certain TV content on terms and conditions significantly different from prior agreements, our programming
costs and/or pay-TV subscription revenues may be adversely affected. We carry various soccer events on our pay-TV platform. In particular, the exclusive rights for English Premier League which has been the most popular soccer event on our platform
will expire in May 2007. If we fail to renew the exclusive rights to carry the English Premier League as well as other soccer events or if the rights become non-exclusive in future, our pay-TV revenue may be adversely affected.

Any small percentage change in our operating expenses may significantly reduce our consolidated earnings.

In 2005, our total operating expenses accounted for as much as 89% of our total operating revenues. A high proportion of our operating expenses are fixed
and do not vary in proportion to the number of our subscribers. Any small percentage change in our operating expenses may significantly reduce our consolidated earnings.

Our network system may fail or shut down, which may adversely affect the quality of our pay-TV or Internet services.

Any failure to maintain a consistent level of high-quality service could harm our reputation and have a material effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our network is vulnerable to damage
or cessation of operations from fire, earthquakes, severe storms, power loss, telecommunications failures, network software flaws, transmission cable cuts and other catastrophic events. We may experience failures or shutdowns relating to individual
points of presence or even catastrophic failure of our entire network. Our insurance coverage may not cover such losses or, even if such losses are covered by our insurance, may not be sufficient to cover all losses arising from such events. Any
failure of our network, our servers, or any link in the delivery chain, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, resulting in an interruption in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our network is potentially vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and
similar disruptive problems caused by our subscribers or other Internet users. Computer viruses, break-ins or other problems could lead to the following problems:



| |  |  | interruption, delay or cessation in service to our subscribers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compromised security of confidential information stored in the computer systems of our subscribers; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costly litigation.
| | - |  | ------------------

The success of our pay-TV and
broadband Internet access service depends on our ability to maintain high-quality transmission with minimal service disruptions or interference. This will be critical to our ability to attract and retain subscribers.

We have launched a satellite channel targeted primarily at Mainland China. This channel continues to incur losses and it may not become profitable.

We have launched a satellite channel targeted primarily at Mainland China. The channel is available in hotels that are rated at or
above three stars, foreign compounds, and other select areas in Mainland China. The relevant television market in Mainland China is highly competitive. The channel has incurred losses since its launch and is expected to incur losses in its initial
years of operation. In addition, any adverse development in the economic, political or legal environment in Mainland China could have a negative effect on the operations and financial condition of this channel.

We established a wholly-owned subsidiary to embark on film production. This new subsidiary may
cause volatility in our consolidated earnings and may not become profitable.

In 2005, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Sundream Motion Pictures Limited (Sundream), to engage in film production. Sundream released its first ever movie in February 2006. We are new to the film production industry and we will have to seek qualified personnel from external
sources to be successful. We may not be able to attract personnel with appropriate expertise or experience in the film industry.

The
protection of intellectual property is essential for any film production business. Any infringement of our intellectual property may significantly reduce our revenue from the films we produce. The existing or future regulatory environment and law
enforcement mechanism in the markets where our films are released may not offer adequate levels of protection from intellectual property infringement or we may not be effective in enforcing our intellectual property rights in any of these markets.

The financial performance of Sundream may vary significantly across different financial periods as our production may fluctuate in terms
of quantity as well as quality. There is no assurance that this subsidiary will become profitable and may cause volatility in our consolidated earnings.

We are in the process of instituting changes to our internal controls and management systems in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our failure to timely and
successfully institute these changes and to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls could subject us to regulatory actions and may adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise additional capital.

We are in the process of instituting changes to our internal controls and management systems to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, Section 404 requires us to perform an evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting and file annual management assessments of their
effectiveness with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That management assessment is required to include a certification of our internal controls by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to our evaluation of internal controls over financial
reporting. Unless we successfully design and implement changes to our internal controls and management systems, or if we fail to maintain the adequacy of these controls as such standards are modified or amended from time to time, we may not be able
to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm will be unable to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. This could subject us
to regulatory scrutiny and result in a loss of public confidence in our management, which could, among other things, adversely affect the price of our ADSs and ordinary shares and our ability to raise additional capital.

There may be political risks associated with doing business in Hong Kong

A significant part of our facilities and operations are currently located in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the Peoples
Republic of China, with its own executive, judicial and legislative branches. Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy from China under the principle of one country, two systems. However, we can give no assurance that Hong Kong will
continue to enjoy the same level of autonomy from China. Any intervention by the government of China in the affairs of Hong Kong, in breach of the one country, two systems principle, may adversely affect our revenues and our share
prices.

The state of Hong Kongs economy may affect our profitability.

As we are principally engaged in the provision of pay-TV and broadband services in Hong Kong, our financial position and the results of our operations
will be affected by the conditions of the pay-TV and Internet access markets in Hong Kong, which may in turn be influenced by the general state of the Hong Kong economy, changes in the Hong Kong regulatory environment, and changes in demand and
usage habits of Hong Kong consumers. We have limited control over any of these factors. The Hong Kong economy has experienced considerable volatility during the late 1990s and from 2000 to 2003, and there can be no assurance that it will not
experience volatility in the future. This could adversely affect our business operations.

We may be liable for information
disseminated over our Internet services network, which could increase our costs or cause us to discontinue certain services or content offerings.

We may be required to spend substantial resources or discontinue certain services or content offerings as a result of liability under Hong Kong law for dissemination of information, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Hong Kong law relating to liability of Internet service providers for information carried on or disseminated through their networks is new and untested. The imposition of potential
liability upon Internet service providers, such as liability for defamatory speech or copyright infringement, for materials carried on or disseminated over a network may cause us to adopt measures that may reduce our exposure to such liability. We
do not carry errors and omissions insurance which, under certain circumstances, could mitigate any damages incurred by us.

Rights of
shareholders under Hong Kong law may not provide expected levels of protection for shareholders.

Our corporate affairs are governed
by our constitutive documents and by the laws of Hong Kong. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Hong Kong law are not as clearly established as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in
certain jurisdictions in the United States. Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or our controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a
corporation incorporated in some jurisdictions in the United States.

Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may
not be enforceable in Hong Kong.

We are a Hong Kong company and most of our assets are located outside the United States.
Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in Hong Kong. In addition, most of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of these
persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong would recognize
or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether Hong Kong
courts would be competent to hear original actions brought in Hong Kong against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

i-CABLE was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on
May 21, 1999 with limited liability under the Companies Ordinance. We changed our name to i-CABLE Communications Limited with effect from August 27, 1999. Our principal place of business is located at Cable TV Tower, 9 Hoi Shing Road,
Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. Our telephone number is (852) 2112-6868. Our registered office is located at 16th Floor, Ocean Centre, Harbour City, Canton Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The telephone number for our registered office is (852) 2118-8118.

Our agent for service of process in the United States is CT Corporation System, which is currently located at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th
Floor, New York, New York 10011.

B. Business Overview

We believe that we are the leading pay-TV programming operator and service provider in
Hong Kong and that we are Hong Kongs second largest residential broadband Internet access service provider.

We launched our pay-TV
service in October 1993. As of December 31, 2005, we had 738,000 pay-TV subscribers, representing a 5% increase over the previous year.

We
launched our broadband service in March 2000. As of December 31, 2005, we had 320,000 broadband subscribers, representing a 10% increase over the previous year. As of December 31, 2005, our in-building coaxial network passed over 2,117,000
homes. Within this total, 2,032,000 homes were connected to our fiber optic cable network, out of which 2,010,000 households were broadband-ready (i.e., these households were able to subscribe to our broadband service).

We currently provide Internet Protocol Network point-of-presence (IP Point) service to Wharf T&T Limited (Wharf T&T), an
affiliate of ours that is wholly-owned by The Wharf (Holdings) Limited (Wharf). With these IP Points, Wharf T&T provides local VoIP service to the residential market, utilizing our hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) cable network
for core and last-mile signal transmission. The local VoIP service enables subscribers to make and receive calls using traditional telephone handsets connected to a voice-enabled cable modem. As of December 31, 2005, we provided 120,000 IP
Points to Wharf T&T.

Business Strategy

Our goal is to become Hong Kongs leading provider of integrated multimedia communications services, encompassing video, data and voice services. We have also started to expand into markets outside of Hong Kong, particularly in
Mainland China. Our strategy is to:



| |  |  | Expand our pay-TV subscriber base through programming differentiation
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

We will continue to provide innovative television programming targeting local audiences to maintain our market leadership in news, sports and movies. Our investment in Chinese-language programming has been
instrumental to our success to date since most of Hong Kongs population speaks Cantonese as their primary language. To complement our local programming, we will continue to broadcast sport events and major international channels such as CNN
International, BBC World and Discovery. As of December 31, 2005, we carried 97 program channels on our digital platform. Some of the channels are included in our basic package which is the package with the greatest number of channels, while some are
included in smaller, basic or premium packages to derive additional revenues from existing or new subscribers. We will continue to invest in programming content to maintain service differentiation, and to evaluate new genres and programs so that we
can offer more programming packages to existing and new subscribers. We also plan to continue to increase the number of our subscribers by marketing through direct sales, promotions and advertising. We believe there is an opportunity to further
increase our number of subscribers as the market for pay-TV services in Hong Kong continues to develop.

| |  |  | Pursue penetration of our broadband Internet access service
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

In March 2000, we launched our broadband Internet access service based on cable modem technology. During 2005, our broadband subscribers grew by 10% to 320,000 and we maintained our position as the second largest residential broadband
access service provider in Hong Kong through active bundling of our pay-TV and broadband services with local VoIP service provided by Wharf T&T.



| |  |  | Expand the distribution of our content to new markets and platforms beyond pay-TV and broadband Internet platforms
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since late 2003, we have been supplying content to the mobile phone industry. In 2005, we concluded an agreement with Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation
to be the sole content supplier and exclusive sales agent for the public display system on its trains. The in-train audio-visual system, known as Newsline Express, displays news and commercial and began operation in August 2005.

Products and Services

Pay-TV Services

We offer the following pay-TV services:

Basic Package. As of December 31, 2005, our basic package included access to 54 channels for our digital subscribers. We also offer various sub-basic packages, typically consisting of a limited number of
channels offered in our basic or premium package at a lower subscription fee to enhance our pay-TV penetration.

Pay-Per-View and
Premium Services. We currently offer four pay-per-view channels and were the first pay-per-view provider in Asia. Pay-per-view channels offer viewing of adult entertainment and live sports events at additional fees. As of December 31, 2005,
our 39 premium channels included MGM Asia, NBA TV, Nickelodeon, Animax and Channel A. Channel A features some of the more popular programs we offer from among all our local channels. We also offer premium packages of language programming catering to
viewers from different cultural or ethnic groups in Hong Kong.

Satellite Service. As of December 31, 2005, we also provided
access and maintenance services to approximately 211,000 satellite television system households in Hong Kong. Satellite television systems allow customers to view free-to-air channels distributed via satellite.

Internet and Multimedia Services

##### Table of Contents

News, movies and sports have been our most important programming genres and we will continue to invest in
such programming.

News. We continue to produce four Cantonese news channels. Finance & Info Channel (formerly News 1)
focuses on up-to-date financial information. News Channel (formerly News 2) features our round-the-clock professional news cast with half-hourly updates. Top News Channel continues to broadcast non-stop news with updates every eight to ten minutes.
A Live News Channel was launched in 2005 to carry important press conferences, Hong Kong legislative council meetings and breaking news live. We have also acquired broadcasting rights to international news channels such as CNN International, CNN
Headline News, BBC World, Bloomberg Television and CNBC Asia. We believe subscribers are attracted to the convenience and quality of our 24-hour news programming.

Movies. In January 2006, we relaunched our movie channels into a new movies platform. Movie 1 Channel is dedicated to top Hong Kong movies, while Movie 2 Channel offers highly-acclaimed Asian and international
movies. HMC, or The Hollywood Movie Channel, offers popular Hollywood titles. In addition, classical movies are featured in the TCM Channel. Through our movie channels on basic and premium services, we offer popular Hollywood titles, local
blockbusters and special packages catering to our subscribers.

Sports. Exclusive and live coverage of sports events has played an
important role in attracting new subscribers. Soccer is more popular than any other sports in Hong Kong. In 2004, we acquired the exclusive rights to broadcast the English Premier League football in Hong Kong for the three-year period ending May
2007. We exclusively carry the Spanish Primera Liga, the Italian Serie A and the German Bundesliga to cater to the different programming interests of soccer fans. We have also secured the exclusive rights to broadcast the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the
2006 Winter Olympics and the 2006 Asian Games. We also carry major tennis tournaments including the French Open and U.S. Open, and other major international sports competitions such as volleyball, table tennis and swimming events. Additionally, our
Channel 18 provides comprehensive live coverage of all horse races of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Our Channels

We offer a variety of channels with our own originated or packaged channels, primarily in Cantonese, as well as licensed satellite channels. As of
December 31, 2005, we offered 97 channels on our network, consisting of 54 basic channels, 39 premium channels and four pay-per-view channels.

News, sports and movies remained the mainstay of our programming platform. We also carry a number of acclaimed documentary channels such as Discovery and National Geographic Channel. Our entertainment platform consists of a mix of
international, regional and self-produced channels. In the summer of 2003, we launched a 24-hour Entertainment News Channel, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, which provides round-the-clock show business news as well as programs on lifestyle and
fashion trends in Hong Kong, the region and the world. We also carry various premium packages catering to ethnic minority groups, sports fans and viewers with particular interests.

Internet and Multimedia Services

Leveraging on our content library production and output, we
have enhanced our Chinese language Internet portal to showcase the multimedia capabilities of our broadband Internet access service. To differentiate ourselves from other Internet services providers, we offer our television program content on our
websites as well as develop new content and applications with content providers. During 2005, we launched a music download portal, imusic. We also launched a multiplayer online game in the first half of 2006. We worked with mobile phone operators
for the introduction of mobile versions of stock market news and other market information. We believe we are one of the leading video suppliers to mobile operators in Hong Kong.

Network Architecture

Overview

Cable television consists of a broadband network transmitting multiple channels of videos, images, sound
and data between a central facility and a subscribers television over fiber optic and coaxial cable.

Our cable television system
consists of three major parts: a head-end, a distribution network, and a home terminal. At the head-end, signals from live studios, video cassette playback machines and servers, and satellites are received, processed, amplified and then sent through
a distribution network, which consists of trunk lines, feeder cables and drop cables. Drop cables carry signals into a subscribers premises and, ultimately, to television receivers in the home terminal.

The significant advantages of fiber optic technology have led to the increased use of the fiber optic cable as part of the distribution networks
trunk lines, or backbone. The portion of our network employing fiber optic trunk lines generally requires less maintenance, resulting in lower operating costs. The increased capacity and reliability of fiber optic cable can be utilized to expand the
number and quality of services delivered to the subscribers premises.

Our Distribution Network

Our distribution network can be divided into two sections: trunk transmission and in-building coaxial networks.

We initially built our existing backbone network first by using a microwave system. The microwave system carries scrambled television signals which
travel through fiber optic cables from the cable television head-end to transmission sites on hilltops. From the transmission sites, signals are broadcast to the signal-processing center located on the rooftops of our anchor buildings. Each
signal-processing center converts the microwave signals into radio frequency signals. These signals are then distributed by coaxial cable to households in the same building or adjoining buildings. The coaxial network transmits signals through
amplifiers to a multi-port two-way tap which connects to the subscribers drop. The subscribers drop connects to a set-top box which descrambles the television signals in the subscribers home.

We have converted the majority of the trunk transmission from microwave to fiber optic cable. A portion of our network trunks are laid along the
infrastructure of the Mass Transit Railway Corporation, the subway system in Hong Kong. The subway underground infrastructure provides a stable and protective network environment and facilitates the maintenance of our fiber optic trunk transmission.
The in-building coaxial networks, which provides last mile access to the subscribers, remain unchanged except for the installation of the return path modules to existing amplifiers.

The completed hybrid fiber coaxial cable network is two-way capable. It has the capacity to support additional advanced services by placing
telecommunications and data-communications equipment at network nodes to interface with facilities of various Internet service providers, value-added service providers, content providers, network carriers and broadcasters.

We returned the microwave frequencies previously allocated to us to the Hong Kong Government during 2001. In December 2001, we began to migrate our
television service to digital broadcasting to combat illegal viewing and to expand our channel capacity. The migration was substantially completed in 2004.

Most of our subscribers live in high-rise apartment buildings which have been wired with in-building coaxial networks. We have been allocated 35 frequency channels by the Telecommunications Authority for television
services and two additional frequency channels for broadband services. The total number of frequency channels for television services allocated to us will be reduced to 20 following completion of our digital migration. However, with compression
technology, the 20 frequency channels will enable us to carry over 100 program channels. In addition, we have been granted an additional frequency channel for broadband service to better serve our expanding customer base.



17



---

##### Table of Contents

To expand our service to remote areas and outlying islands not previously covered by our fiber network,
we launched a 20-channel satellite service in the third quarter of 2004, comprising our flagship channels in news, sports and entertainment.

Broadband Internet Access System

We use our HFC cable network to provide broadband Internet access service. In order
to provide such services, we need to install cable modem head-ends to route the Internet data traffic through our digital transport network.

Internet access is the first non pay-TV application deployed over our HFC cable network. We currently provide IP Point service to Wharf T&T. With these IP Points, Wharf T&T provides local VoIP service to the residential market,
utilizing our HFC cable network for core and last-mile signal transmission.

Customer Service and Technical Support

We believe providing a high level of customer service and technical support to our subscribers is integral to our customers satisfaction. In order
to achieve this, we operate a 24-hour customer service hotline. We continually seek to staff our customer service department with qualified personnel to provide solutions to potential customer questions or related matters. We also continue to invest
in equipment and technology to enhance operational efficiency. Most of our customer service representatives have in-depth knowledge of our pay-TV and Internet and Multimedia services.

Subscribers can pay through a direct-debit service that automatically deducts the monthly payment from a subscribers designated bank account or
credit card account, by telephone, at payment points such as local banks or automated teller machines, or by mail.

We provide our
subscribers with complete technical support, including installation, maintenance and service calls and disconnection of our services. We monitor key statistics, such as average time for completion of installation, in order to identify any potential
areas for improvement.

Research and Development

We do not conduct any research and development activities for new technologies.

Intellectual Property

We have registered certain trademarks, including our brand name, logo, and certain advertising features, as well as trademarks in
connection with our pay-TV services with the Hong Kong Trade Marks Registry, the independent authority responsible for registration of trademarks in Hong Kong. In addition, we have registered some of our trademarks in the PRC, Taiwan and Macau.

Insurance

We have insurance
with reputable insurance providers to cover risks incurred in the ordinary course of business, including general liability, property coverage and workers compensation insurance in amounts typical of similar operators in the cable industry. We
believe our insurance coverage is adequate and there have not been any significant insurance claims during the past three years.

Regulations

Regulations on Television Broadcasting

Overview

We conduct our pay-TV business through our subsidiary, Hong Kong Cable Television Limited (HKC). HKC is a licensed subscription television
broadcaster and is subject to the provisions of the Broadcasting Ordinance, the Broadcasting Authority Ordinance, the Telecommunications Ordinance and its license and related regulations, codes of practice, guidelines and directions by the
Broadcasting Authority. The provisions are administered by the Broadcasting Authority, a statutory body established under the Broadcasting Authority Ordinance and the Telecommunications Authority. The Broadcasting Authority prescribes rules
concerning the content and scope of television programming, supervises all services provided by television broadcasters and makes recommendations to the Chief Executive-in-Council on applications for broadcasting licenses, as well as on the renewal,
suspension and revocation of licenses. The Chief Executive-in-Council issues domestic pay television program service licenses (formerly subscription television broadcasting licenses under the regime of the now repealed Television Ordinance) which
grants the right to provide domestic pay television program services. HKCs domestic pay television program service license sets forth the terms and conditions for providing its pay-TV service, including the length and the scope of its
programming.

License

HKC provides its pay-TV services under its subscription television broadcasting license (the Subscription TV License) which has been deemed to be a domestic pay television program service license issued under the Broadcasting
Ordinance. The Subscription TV License came into effect on June 1, 1993 and was valid for a period of 12 years until May 31, 2005.

We applied to the Government to renew the Subscription TV License in June 2003. The renewal was granted for another 12 years from June 1, 2005 with key terms no less favorable than our previous license, and the license was renamed the
Domestic Pay Television Program Service License. Separately, a new fixed carrier license has been issued to usconverted from our previous fixed line licenseto include the transmission of our television service under the current
regulatory regime, which requires the transmission part of our television license to be subject to the Telecommunications Ordinance.

The
Broadcasting Authority may require HKC to refrain from broadcasting all or part of certain programs, advertisements or other material where this would result in material breaches of the terms and conditions of the license or violations of applicable
law, regulations or public policy.

We also hold a non-domestic television program service license for the uplink of a satellite channel,
which has been granted limited landing right for reception in hotels and selected compounds in Mainland China.

Restrictions on Ownership and Control

The Broadcasting Ordinance provides that the majority of directors and majority of principal officers of television broadcasters such
as HKC must be persons who are ordinarily resident in Hong Kong. Persons are considered resident in Hong Kong if they reside in Hong Kong for at least 180 days in any calendar year and at least 300 days in any two consecutive calendar years, and
have been so resident for at least one continuous period of seven years. The broadcaster must also be incorporated in Hong Kong. Directors ordinarily resident in Hong Kong must also form the majority of the quorum at its board meetings. Following
the enactment of the Broadcasting Ordinance, there are no foreign ownership controls over HKC. In other words, HKCs shareholders may be non-residents of Hong Kong or foreign corporations.



19



---

##### Table of Contents

The Broadcasting Ordinance restricts cross-media ownership by barring the following entities from holding
a domestic pay or free television program service license or exercising control of such licensees unless approval from the Chief Executive-in-Council is obtained:



| |  |  | advertising agents;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | companies which are themselves licensees under the Broadcasting Ordinance;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sound broadcasting licensees under the Telecommunications Ordinance;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | publishers of Hong Kong newspapers; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | directors, principal officers, shareholders holding more than a 15% beneficial interest and any associates of the foregoing.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Broadcasting Authority is also empowered to obtain information as to HKCs past and present shareholders.

HKC is prohibited from transferring its Subscription TV License to another company except with the approval of the Chief Executive-in-Council.

Programming

HKC is required to broadcast announcements of public interest and publicity material relating to the Broadcasting Authority but is not otherwise obligated to broadcast a minimum number of channels. The maximum number of channels is set by
frequency availability. Each channel, except any pay-per-view channels, must broadcast for not less than 5 hours per day. We believe we have satisfied these programming requirements.

Regulatory Developments

The
Hong Kong Government has adopted the policy of liberalizing the television broadcasting market, including the pay-TV market, with the aim of increasing competition. In December 1998, the Hong Kong Government adopted a number of policies designed to
liberalize the market and increase competition. These policies aim to increase competition by requiring HKC to open its networks, abolishing subscription and advertising royalties, allowing HKC to deliver telecommunications services using its
subscription television network, lifting the moratorium on pay television and video-on-demand program services, and opening the market for digital terrestrial television services. The restrictions on ownership and control were also modified. Some of
the policy decisions have been implemented through the enactment of the Broadcasting Ordinance in the second half of 2000. The Hong Kong Government also awarded five pay-TV licenses in late 2000. Four operators have since opted out from the Hong
Kong market and returned their licenses to the Government. Nonetheless, two new pay-TV services were launched during the third quarter of 2003. They were operated by the incumbent telecommunications service provider, PCCW, and another
telecommunications service provider, Hong Kong Broadband Network. Galaxy, which Hong Kongs dominant free-to-air television operator TVB owns 49%, launched its pay-TV service under the brand name SuperSUN TV in May 2005 and renamed it TVB Pay
Vision in 2006.

The Hong Kong Government announced in July 2004 the implementation framework for digital terrestrial TV (DTT). The
existing two terrestrial TV broadcasters, Asia Television Limited and Television Broadcasts Limited are required to launch DTT by 2007 and achieve at least 75% of coverage in 2008. Subject to further market and technical studies, the Government aims
to switch off analog broadcasting in 2012.

The Hong Kong Government is consulting the industry on proposals to set up a unified regulator
by merging the Broadcasting Authority and Telecommunications Authority for co-ordinated regulation of a converging electronic communications sector, encompassing broadcasting, telecommunications and information technology. The proposals, if adopted,
are expected to come into effect by the end of 2007.

Regulations on Telecommunications

Overview

The Telecommunications Ordinance regulates the operation of telecommunications in
Hong Kong. The Telecommunications Authority is the statutory body responsible for regulating and administering the Telecommunications Ordinance. The Office of the Telecommunications Authority assists the Telecommunications Authority in administering
and enforcing the provisions of the Telecommunications Ordinance, regulating and licensing telecommunications, and ensuring the effective operation and successful development of Hong Kongs telecommunications industry. The Telecommunications
Authority is empowered to issue licenses of the types set out in the Telecommunications Regulations. The Telecommunications Authority is also empowered to require a licensee to comply with the conditions of its license and the Telecommunications
Ordinance. The Telecommunications Authority may suspend or revoke licenses for non-compliance and the Chief Executive in Council may cancel or suspend a license at any time if he considers that the public interest so requires.

The Telecommunications Ordinance was amended when the Telecommunications (Amendment) Ordinance 2000, or the Amended Ordinance, came into effect on
June 16, 2000. The general effect of the Amended Ordinance is to enhance competition safeguards, improve interconnection and access arrangements to telecommunications services, streamline licensing procedures and provide the Telecommunications
Authority with powers over certain technical areas such as radio spectrum management. The competitive safeguards, which include provisions to deal with anti-competitive practices, the abuse of a dominant position, misleading and deceptive conduct,
and discrimination, are to be administered and enforced by the Telecommunications Authority and represent the first occasion on which competition law principles have been included in legislation in Hong Kong. The Amended Ordinance also significantly
increases penalties for breach of license conditions. In addition, under the Telecommunication (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999, the scope of services received and distributed by satellite master antenna television systems (SMATV)
has been extended to cover subscription satellite television services licensed in Hong Kong and, from January 1, 2000, telecommunications messages intended for users of the satellite system. In addition, the Telecommunications Authority issued
five wireless fixed telecommunication network services (FTNS) licenses in 2000.

Licenses

In general, under the Telecommunications Ordinance, a person who establishes and maintains a means of telecommunications in Hong Kong will require a
license to do so.

In order to provide Internet access and services, a public non-exclusive telecommunications services (PNETS)
license is required to be obtained from the Telecommunications Authority. i-CABLE WebServe Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and holds a PNETS license to operate our Internet business. The Telecommunications Authority may cancel or
suspend the PNETS license at any time for up to 12 months for contravention of any provision of the Telecommunications Ordinance or any condition of the PNETS license.

HKC previously held a FTNS license which authorized us to provide broadband service utilizing the HFC part of its subscription television network. The
FTNS license was converted to a fixed carrier license in June 2005 to include the transmission of television service in line with the current telecommunications regulatory regime with terms no less favorable than the previous license. The license is
valid until January 2015. Furthermore, it removes the restriction contained in our previous license that our telecommunications services must be provided via the HFC network we built for the delivery of pay-TV service, and give us greater
flexibility in the introduction of service enhancement or new telecommunications services in future.

The Telecommunications Authority
assigned one pair of frequency channels on the in-building coaxial network (one upstream channel and one downstream channel) for the operation of our cable modem broadband Internet service. An additional frequency was granted to us in May 2005 to
cope with demands on traffic with the expansion of our customer base.

New Regulatory Developments

In January 2002, the Telecommunications Authority announced its policy on the implementation of the full liberalization of the local FTNS market in Hong
Kong from January 1, 2003 which follows the liberalization policy announced in May 1999 to license the operation of additional wireline based fixed networks when the moratorium on issuing new local FTNS licenses ends on December 31, 2002.
Since January 1, 2003, the local and external FTNS market is fully liberalized and there is no pre-set limit for number of licenses for the operation of local wireline-based fixed networks. In January 2003, three new local wireline-based FTNS
were granted, including two that were granted to local wireless FTNS licensees by modifying their licenses to include the operation of local wireline-based FTNS. As of March 29, 2006, there were 10 local wireline-based FTNS licensees.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

We own most of our cable systems distribution networks and lease some fiber
links for our microwave network. We have obtained licenses to use the signal reception sites that house our antenna towers and head-ends and microwave complexes. We have entered into an agreement with Wharf T&T for the shared use and maintenance
of some of the ducts that house our network. We lease office space from Wharf in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, for our principal executive offices and programming production studios. The physical components of our network require maintenance and periodic
rebuilding to keep pace with technological advances. We believe that our properties, both owned and leased, are in good condition and are legally and physically suitable and adequate for our business operations as presently conducted and as proposed
to be conducted.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information in this annual report is presented in Hong Kong dollars as of December 31, 2005. The U.S. dollar translations
provided in this annual report are, unless otherwise indicated, calculated at the Hong Kong Dollar Noon Buying Rate at December 30, 2005, which was HK$7.7533 per US$1.00. No representation is made that Hong Kong dollar amounts could have been,
or could be, converted into United States dollars at that rate or at any other particular rate on December 31, 2005 or any other date. Sums may not add due to rounding.

Overview

i-CABLE was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong in May 1999. The following discussion
reflects our financial condition and results of operations. Prior to our initial public offering in 1999, we underwent a corporate reorganization that was accounted for as a reorganization of businesses under common control. Accordingly, our
consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of historical costs and as if the consolidated companies had been part of i-CABLE throughout the periods presented.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto presented in this
annual report. The information presented below has been extracted from the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as prepared in accordance with Hong Kong GAAP. A reconciliation of our net profit and shareholders equity as
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP is also separately provided in note 35 to our consolidated financial statements.

HKC, our
subsidiary, launched its pay-TV service in Hong Kong in October 1993 and is Hong Kongs leading pay-TV operator. As of December 31, 2005, our network passed over 2,117,000 homes, of which 2,032,000 have been connected to our fiber network.
As of December 31, 2005, we had 738,000 pay-TV subscribers.

Through our HFC network we began to offer broadband Internet access
service in March 2000. As of December 31, 2005, we had 320,000 broadband Internet subscribers. We currently provide IP Point service to Wharf T&T, charging a service fee that is determined based on the number of IP Points provided. With
these IP Points, Wharf T&T provides local VoIP service to the residential market, utilizing our HFC cable network for core and last-mile signal transmission. As of December 31, 2005, 120,000 IP Points were provided to Wharf T&T by iNL.

The provision of television broadcasting services in Hong Kong is regulated by the Broadcasting Authority, a statutory body of the Hong
Kong Government. HKC is a licensed television broadcaster and is subject to the provisions of Hong Kongs Broadcasting Ordinance and other applicable laws, conditions and codes of practice. In order to provide telecommunications services,
including broadband Internet access service over our HFC cable network, we obtained a FTNS license from Hong Kongs Telecommunications Authority in January 2000.

##### Table of Contents

We generated approximately 77% of our revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 from
our pay-TV segment, with the remaining 23% mainly derived from our Internet and Multimedia segment.

Subscription fees charged to our
pay-TV customers for basic, premium and pay-per-view services, and for provision of installation and other support services accounted for the majority of our pay-TV revenue. We derive additional pay-TV revenues from advertising income, program-guide
sales and, satellite television systems services.

Our operating expenses consist primarily of:



| |  |  | programming costs;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | network and other operating expenses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | selling, general and administrative expenses; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | depreciation
| | - |  | ------------

Programming costs, representing the largest
component of our operating costs, are costs incurred for the acquisition, production and broadcasting of programming, and the amortization of programming rights.

Network and other operating expenses include our network maintenance and operating costs for the expanding network, telecommunication expenses for Internet services, other technical support costs as well as our
customer service and billing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses incurred for marketing, sales and
administration, information systems support and other corporate support services.

Depreciation includes the depreciation of property,
plant and equipment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use a financial measure that we defined as adjusted EBITDA to provide additional information about our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA refers to our earnings before the following items:



| |  |  | interest income;
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | finance costs;
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | non-operating income/expenses;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | provision for income tax;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | depreciation of property, plant and equipment but after amortization of programming rights; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | impairment loss on investments.
| | - |  | -------------------------------

Adjusted EBITDA is not a
standard measure under either Hong Kong GAAP or U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the investor community commonly uses this type of financial measure to assess the operating performance of companies in our market sector.

As a measure of our operating performance, we believe that the most directly comparable Hong Kong GAAP and U.S. GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA is net
income. We operate in a capital intensive industry. We use adjusted EBITDA in addition to net income because net income includes many accounting items associated with capital expenditures, such as depreciation of property, plant and equipment. These
accounting items may vary between companies depending on the method of accounting adopted by a company. By minimizing differences in capital expenditures and the associated depreciation expenses as well as reported tax positions, adjusted EBITDA
provides further information about our operating performance and an additional measure for comparing our operating performance with other companies results.

You should not consider our definition of adjusted EBITDA in isolation or construe it as an
alternative to net income or as an indicator of operating performance or any other standard measure under Hong Kong GAAP or U.S. GAAP. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA does not account for taxes and other non-operating cash expenses. Our adjusted
EBITDA measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Hong Kong GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management evaluates their estimates and assumptions at each balance sheet date. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that revenue recognition, deferred tax assets, useful lives of long-lived
assets, impairment provisions for property, plant and equipment, program library, available-for-sale equity securities and goodwill (US GAAP only) and write-down of receivables and inventories to net realizable value involve accounting policies
which are most affected by managements use of judgment and estimates. Please see note 31 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of judgment and estimates used in these areas.

##### Table of Contents

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized in the statement of operations provided it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and revenues and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably. Provision of subscription
television services, Internet services, and Internet Protocol Point wholesale services is recognized at the time when the services are provided. Installation fees are recognized upon completion of the related installation work to the extent of
direct selling costs. Where packaged service fees comprise a number of elements and the fees can be allocated on a reasonable basis into elements of subscription service and installation service, revenue is recognized in accordance with the
accounting policies set out in Notes 2(i)(i) and 2(i)(ii). Where packaged service fees cannot be allocated into individual elements, the fees are deferred and recognized evenly over the term of the service period.

Income tax

Income tax for the year
comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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 to
tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited
exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized, are recognized. The carrying amount of a deferred tax
asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent
that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Management considers that a key source of estimation
uncertainty lies in the recognition of deferred tax assets from unused tax losses. During the second half of 2005, additional deferred tax assets from unused tax losses of a subsidiary were recognized pursuant to a change in circumstances including,
among others, stabilization of the subsidiarys operating environment and finalization of an organization restructure plan, that reduced uncertainties surrounding the subsidiarys future taxable profits. Accordingly, managements
judgement about the realizability of the tax losses changed to conclude it appropriate for the subject subsidiary to recognize all its tax losses at December 31, 2005 as deferred tax assets.

It is possible that adverse changes to the operating environment or the Groups organization structure could cause a future write-down of the
deferred tax assets recognized.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 2(r)). The cost of
self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes materials, labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate
proportion of overheads and borrowing costs (see Note 2(j)). Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost less their estimated residual value, if any, of the equipment required to support a fully operating network and
cable television system at rates determined by the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from five to 20 years, estimated at the time such assets are acquired and based on historical experience with similar assets, also taking into account
the anticipated technological or industrial changes in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period.



27



---

##### Table of Contents

If these changes were to occur more rapidly than anticipated or in a different form from what was
anticipated, the useful lives assigned to these assets may need to be shortened, resulting in the recognition of increased depreciation expense in future periods.

Programming library

Programming library consists of presentation rights for commissioned programs
and acquired programs for showing on the Groups television channels, and commissioned programs and films for licensing purposes. Presentation rights are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated
useful life is other than indefinite) and any impairment losses (see Note 2(r)).

Amortization is charged to the statement of operations on
an accelerated basis over the license period or over the estimated number of future showings. Subsequent expenditure on programs after initial acquisition is recognized as an expense when incurred.

Live programs consist of third party feed programs and are charged to the statement of operations upon telecast of the programs. Payments made in advance
or in arrears of program cost recognition are recorded as prepayments or accruals, as appropriate.

Commissioned programs and films for
licensing purposes comprise direct production costs and production overheads, and are stated at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable value. Costs are amortized on an individual program/film basis in the ratio of the current years
gross revenues to managements forecast of the total ultimate gross revenues from all sources.

Net realizable value of commissioned
programs and films are estimated based on their projected future revenue to be derived from all applicable territories and windows less cost to sell, taking into account historical performances of films and programs with comparable budgets, casts,
or other relevant qualities. If revenue actually generated were to fall short of our forecasts, or there are changes in total projected ultimate gross revenues, amortization may need to be increased, or impairment provision may need to be made to
reduce the carrying value of individual program or film to its realizable amount.

Impairment Provisions

At each balance sheet date, we review internal and external sources of information to identify indications that the Companys property, plant and
equipment, inventories, loans and receivables, film library, goodwill, and investment in available-for-sales equity instruments may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognized no longer exists or may have decreased. If such an indication
exists, the relevant assets recoverable amount is estimated with appropriate accounting adjustment of the carrying amount of an asset to its recoverable amount.

The sources utilized to identify indications of impairment are often subjective in nature and require us to make judgements and apply assumptions including the future utilization value of such asset, the cash flows to
be generated, appropriate market discount rates and the projected market and regulatory conditions. Changes in any of these assumptions could result in a material change to future estimates of the recoverable value of any asset.

2005 Compared to 2004

Services Revenues

Our service revenues in 2005 increased by HK$69 million (US$9 million), or
3%, to HK$2,441 million (US$315 million) from HK$2,372 million in 2004. Although pay-TV ARPU decreased by 6% to HK$212 in 2005 from HK$225 in 2004 due to the offering of lower-yield mini-packages to attract new subscribers, service revenues from our
pay-TV business in 2005 decreased only slightly by HK$4 million (US$0.5 million), or 0.2%, to HK$1,884 million (US$243 million) from HK$1,888 million in 2004 due to keen competition throughout the year. Net increase of subscribers in 2005, however,
was 36,000, compared to 47,000 in 2004. During the same period, service revenues from our Internet-related services increased by HK$78 million (US$10 million), or 16%, to HK$558 million (US$72 million) from HK$481 million during the previous year
due to a 10% growth in broadband subscriber and a 314% increase in VoIP lines in service. Net increase in broadband subscribers, however, decreased to 29,000 in 2005 from 34,000 in 2004. Service revenues attributable to our Internet-related services
accounted for 23% of our total service revenues in 2005, representing a 3% increase as compared to 20% during the previous year.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses including depreciation increased by HK$85 million (US$11 million), or 4%,
to HK$2,161 million (US$279 million) in 2005 from HK$2,076 million in 2004, with the following breakdown:

Programming Costs.
Programming costs increased by 9% to HK$864 million (US$111 million) in 2005 from HK$791 million in 2004, primarily due to higher costs for program acquisition especially for sports events.

Network and Other Operating Expenses. Network and other operating expenses increased 4% to HK$398 million (US$51 million) in 2005 from HK$381
million in 2004, primarily due to increase in customer fulfillment costs and direct costs incurred for launching the Newsline Express programming service on Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation lines in August 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by 12% to HK$419 million (US$54 million) in 2005 from HK$373 million in 2004 due primarily to higher pay-TV marketing expenses and sales costs.

Depreciation. Depreciation expenses decreased by 10% to HK$480 million (US$62 million) in 2005 from HK$532 million in 2004 due mainly to lower depreciation charge in set-top-boxes, cable modem and network
assets following the expiry of the depreciation cycle.

Operating Profit

We recognized an operating profit of HK$280 million (US$36 million) in 2005, representing a HK$16 million (US$2 million), or 5%, decrease compared to
HK$296 million in 2004.

Interest Income and Finance Costs

Interest income increased to HK$3 million in 2005 from HK$0.02 million in 2004 and finance costs decreased by 44% to HK$0.1 million in 2005 from HK$0.2
million in 2004 mainly due to improvement in cash position.

Provision for income tax

Income tax credit of HK$245 million primarily represented the recognition of HK$205 million tax losses as deferred tax assets mainly due to the
recognition of all unused tax losses at December 31, 2005 by a subsidiary as deferred tax assets, combined with HK$40 million reversal in deferred tax liabilities.

Net Profit

We recorded a net profit after taxation of HK$527 million (US$68 million) in 2005,
representing an increase of HK$187 million (US$24 million), or 55%, from HK$340 million in 2004. Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2005 were 26.1 cents as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of 16.8 cents in 2004.

2004 Compared to 2003

Service Revenues

Our service revenues in 2004 increased by HK$229 million (US$29 million), or 11%, to HK$2,372 million (US$305 million) from
HK$2,143 million in 2003. Service revenues from our pay-TV business in 2004 grew by HK$154 million (US$20 million), or 9%, to HK$1,888 million (US$243 million) from HK$1,734 million in 2003 due to a growth in subscriptions and air time sales
revenue. During the same period, service revenues from our Internet-related services increased by HK$72 million (US$9 million), or 18%, to HK$481 million (US$62 million) from HK$409 million during the previous year as the growth in the number of
broadband subscribers coupled with a rising broadband ARPU. Service revenues attributable to our Internet-related services accounted for 20% of our total service revenues in 2004, representing a 1% increase as compared to 19% during the previous
year.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses including depreciation increased by HK$184 million (US$24 million), or 10%, to HK$2,076 million (US$267 million) in 2004 from HK$1,892 million in 2003, with the following breakdown:

Programming Costs. Programming costs increased by 22% to HK$791 million (US$102 million) in 2004 from HK$650 million in 2003, primarily due to
the carriage of UEFA Euro 2004 and higher other program acquisition costs.

##### Table of Contents

Network and Other Operating Expenses. Network and other operating expenses increased 5% to HK$381
million (US$49 million) in 2004 from HK$361 million in 2003, primarily due to an increase in network repair and maintenance costs and provision for obsolete inventories.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 9% to HK$373 million (US$48 million) in 2004 from HK$343 million in 2003 due primarily to higher marketing
expenses and sales costs.

Depreciation. Depreciation expenses decreased slightly by 1% to HK$532 million (US$68 million) in 2004
from HK$539 million in 2003 due mainly to the expiration of depreciation cycles on network assets, as partly offset by increased depreciation on further capital expenditures.

Operating Profit

We
recognized an operating profit of HK$296 million (US$38 million) in 2004, representing a HK$45 million (US$6 million), or 18%, increase compared to HK$251 million in 2003.

Interest Income and Finance Costs

Interest income dropped by over 99% to HK$0.02 million in 2004 from HK$8 million in 2003 and finance costs decreased by 99% to HK$0.2 million in 2004 from HK$16 million in 2003 mainly due to the application of surplus funds to fully redeem
our fixed rate convertible bonds in November 2003.

Provision for income tax

We made a HK$17 million (US$2 million) provision for profits tax payable on the Companys leveraged leasing transactions and also recognized a HK$60
million (US$8 million) net increase in deferred tax assets, relating to the elimination of HK$34 million (US$4 million) deferred tax assets under the tax dispute and the recognition of HK$94 million (US$12 million) deferred tax assets for tax losses
following a reevaluation of our ability to realize operating loss carryforwards incurred by a subsidiary.

Net Profit

We recorded a net profit after taxation of HK$340 million (US$44 million) in 2004, representing an increase of HK$119 million
(US$15 million), or 54%, from HK$220 million in 2003. Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2004 were 16.8 cents as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of 10.9 cents in 2003.

Differences between Hong Kong GAAP and U.S. GAAP

Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Hong Kong GAAP which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.

The description of the significant differences between Hong Kong GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to i-CABLE, including deferred pre-maturity and franchise costs, the offset of goodwill against reserves, the reversal of impairment write
down, installation fees, costs and subscription fees, and share option compensation expense, is provided in Note 35 to our consolidated financial statements. A reconciliation of net profit for the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and
2005 and shareholders equity as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 under Hong Kong GAAP to the comparable amounts determined under U.S. GAAP is also provided in Note 35 to our consolidated financial statements.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

During the first few years following the commencement of our business, we financed our operations and capital expenditure requirements primarily through a
shareholders loan from Wharf Communications, cash flows from operations, issuance of convertible bonds and our initial public offering in 1999. In October 2002, we redeemed prior to maturity HK$1,500 million out of HK$1,800 million outstanding
balance of our fixed rate convertible bonds. The balance of the convertible bonds amounting to HK$300 million was fully redeemed upon maturity in November 2003. These fixed rate convertible bonds were held by a subsidiary of Wharf. We repaid our
bank borrowings during 2003 and as of December 31, 2003, we were debt-free with a surplus cash of HK$29 million. As of December 31, 2005 we had net cash of HK$352 million. As of December 31, 2005, we had current assets of HK$671
million and current liabilities of HK$717 million. Our current ratio was 94%.

As of December 31, 2005 the surplus cash of HK$352
million, together with expected cash flow from operations are expected to be sufficient to fund our current operational and capital expenditure plans.

During 2005, net cash generated from operating activities amounted to HK$784 million (US$101 million), an increase of HK$7 million (US$1 million) or 1% from HK$777 million in 2004. Cash used in investing activities in
2005 totaled HK$385 million (US$50 million), compared to cash used in investing activities of HK$549 million (US$71 million) in 2004, mainly due to decrease in plant and equipment acquisition. We believe that cash generated from our operations and
funds available from external sources will be sufficient to cover our operating and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

The
following table sets forth a summary of our statements of cash flows under Hong Kong GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:



|                                                    |  |                         |   |  |      |   |  |      |

If the primary sources of funding are inadequate to meet our liquidity requirements and borrowing
commitments, or if we pursue new projects, we may need to raise capital in the future. Depending on our capital requirements, market conditions and other factors, we may raise additional funds through debt or equity offerings or through the sale of
assets. We have arranged short term bank credit facilities of approximately HK$616 million to meet any future cash outflow. In the event that such financing cannot be obtained, we may have to scale back our business expansion plans.

Capital Resources

Our cash outflow for capital expenditures decreased by HK$173 million (US$22 million) or 38% to HK$286 million (US$37 million) in 2005 from HK$459 million in 2004. The capital expenditures consisted primarily of
investments in digital set-top boxes, cable modems and related broadband equipment, as well as in television production facilities and further network upgrade and expansion. These items are expected to be the major areas of our capital expenditures
in 2006.

Our cash outflow for the purchase of our programming library for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by HK$10 million
(US$1.3 million) or 10% to HK$105 million (US$14 million) from HK$95 million in 2004.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our material contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2005:

We have operating leases for our premises and certain office equipment, some of which have future
minimum non-cancellable lease payments and do not allow for early termination by us without cause. As of December 31, 2005, our minimum lease payment commitments under such operating leases totaled HK$172 million (US$22 million).

As of December 31, 2005, our contracted commitments in respect of plant, equipment, investment in prospective subsidiary and associate, leasehold
improvements and programming rights and services amounted to HK$492 million (US$63 million). We expect to meet these commitments from our current cash on hand and additional cash to be generated from future operations.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We did not engage in research and development
activities during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

D. Trend Information

Prospects

We plan to increase our pay-TV subscriber base by marketing through direct sales, promotions, and advertising. In addition, we intend to continue to explore the opportunities for launching new services made possible
by the expanded effective network capacity following digitization. The markets for pay-TV in Hong Kong are increasingly competitive. This high level of competition may reduce our pay-TV revenue, resulting in a decrease in our cash flow and operating
margin.

##### Table of Contents

In 2005, we established three content production subsidiaries, namely i-CABLE News Limited, i-CABLE
Sports Limited and i-CABLE Entertainment Limited for our news, sports and entertainment platforms respectively. We believe the reform will give our various program production units greater flexibility to optimize their resources, exploit their
assets and explore new markets in their respective fields, which would in turn make our production capabilities more efficient and market driven. During the year, we changed the line-up of our news and movie channels. See Item 4.B Business
OverviewProgrammingPay-TV Services.

We are aware that some viewers in Hong Kong use unauthorized pay-TV decoders to
receive our pay-TV service illegally. Although we have substantially completed migrating our transmission from analog to digital platforms to fight piracy, illegal viewing activities have continued and we are aware that pirated digital set-top-boxes
are available in the market. Despite the deployment of anti-piracy measures, we expect manufacturers or vendors of unauthorized pay-TV decoders to attempt to overcome our digital encryption methods. If we fail to deploy appropriate and timely
countermeasures in response to such activities, illegal viewing activities may grow. Such illegal viewing activities will adversely affect the growth of our pay-TV subscriber base and our subscription revenue. See Item 3Key
InformationRisk FactorsIllegal viewing activities may affect our pay-TV subscriber growth and subscription revenue.

Internet and
Multimedia

We intend to increase our broadband subscriber base by marketing through direct sales, promotions, advertising, and
offering competitive prices. The growth of our broadband subscriber base may require continued growth in the demand for broadband services in Hong Kong, although critical issues concerning the increased use of the Internet may adversely affect
future demand for our broadband Internet access service. See Item 3Key InformationRisk FactorsDemand for our broadband Internet access service may not continue to grow.

The markets for Internet access and related services in Hong Kong are highly competitive. This high level of competition may reduce our broadband
revenue, resulting in a decrease in our cash flow and operating margin. In 2005, the offer of bundled services, i.e, voice, data and pay-TV services had enabled us to entice new customers. As a result, an operating profit of HK$78 million was
achieved for 2005, reversing operating loss in previous years. However, we believe broadband services have become a commodity product that is highly sensitive to price. Competition in the segment will continue to exert pressure on our income and
market share. We will continue to enhance our service quality and introduce more value-added services to expand our market share in the broadband segment. See Item 3Key InformationRisks FactorsThe competition we face from
other television broadcasters and Internet service providers may cause us to lose market share.

Some of our competitors offer
broadband Internet access service with bandwidth advantage over our broadband Internet access service in the residential market. We may need to incur substantial capital expenditures to keep pace with our competitors technological
developments. See Item 3Key InformationRisks FactorsWe may need to incur substantial capital expenditures to keep pace with technological developments or our customers demand for new products and services. This may
adversely affect our financial condition.

We currently provide IP Point service to Wharf T&T, charging a service fee that is
determined based on the number of IP Points provided. See Item 7Major Shareholders and Related Party TransactionsRelated Party Transactions. With these IP Points, Wharf T&T provides local VoIP service to the residential
market, utilizing our HFC cable network for core and last-mile signal transmission. As of December 31, 2005, we provided 120,000 IP Points to Wharf T&T.

Satellite Television Service in Mainland China

We have launched a satellite channel targeted primarily at Mainland China. The satellite channel has been granted approval to broadcast to hotels rated at
or above three stars, foreign compounds and other select areas in Mainland China. The channel features live and updated reporting of events in the entertainment world. The relevant television market in Mainland China is highly competitive. The
channel is expected to incur losses in its initial years of operation and it may not become profitable. See Item 3Key InformationRisk FactorsWe have launched a satellite channel targeted primarily at Mainland China. The
channel is expected to incur losses in its initial years of operation and it may not become profitable.

New Services

We continue to look for ways to offer new services by leveraging our HFC cable network, local content production expertise, as well as our brand name,
marketing and customer service infrastructure to launch new and enhanced Internet and telecommunications services. With our capacity to offer live digital content as well as the abundance of digital content in our library, we are offering content to
other service operators, such as 3G mobile service operators. We have launched a new multiplayer online game in the first half of 2006.

At
the same time, we are supplying our programming service to other media. We are now the sole supplier of Hong Kong news service to an onboard channel of Hong Kongs flag carrier airline, Cathay Pacific Airways. We have also reached an agreement
with Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation to be the sole content supplier and exclusive commercial airtime sales agent for an information display system on its trains. The in-train audio-visual system, known as Newsline Express, displays
news and commercial and was launched in August 2005.

Film Production

In 2005, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sundream Motion Pictures, to engage in film production. Some of these films will be released to
overseas and Mainland China markets in addition to local theatres. We plan to generate revenue from theatrical release and licensing of these films. Sundream released its first movie in February 2006. However, this subsidiary may cause volatility in

Significant Trends

The significant trends that are expected to have a material effect on our financial performance and operating results for the current year are set out below:

Since the launch of our pay-TV service in October 1993, our total pay-TV subscribers have increased annually. During 2005, our total pay-TV subscribers
have increased by 5% to 738,000.

Although our pay-TV and broadband subscribers have continued to grow, both the pay-TV and
broadband services markets are highly competitive. The growth in our pay-TV or broadband subscribers may slow in 2006 with intensifying competition. See Item 3Key InformationRisk FactorsThe competition we face from other
television broadcasters and Internet service providers may cause us to lose market share.

Our programming costs increased by 9% to
HK$864 million (US$111 million) in 2005 from HK$791 million in 2004, primarily due to increased costs for sports events broadcasting rights and other program enhancements.

E. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

and officers as a group by us and by the Wharf Group on our behalf. We also provide fringe benefits and other compensation arrangements to a number of our directors and officers.

Retirement Scheme and Mandatory Provident Fund

The principal retirement scheme that we
operate is a defined contribution retirement scheme for our employees, established under a trust deed. Some of our fellow subsidiaries also participate in the scheme.

The scheme is funded by contributions from employees and employers. The employees and employers contribute respectively to the scheme sums, which represent percentages of the employees salaries as defined under
the trust deed. Forfeited contributions may be utilized by the employers to reduce contributions.

Our principal retirement scheme is
closed to new employees joining after October 1, 2000 while existing members of the scheme can continue to accrue future benefits.

Employees joining after October 1, 2000 will participate in the Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) with terms as stipulated by the MPF Authority in Hong Kong. We will also provide voluntary top-up benefits to employees
receiving a monthly basic salary exceeding HK$20,000 which is the relevant income cap as stipulated by the MPF Ordinance.

Our retirement
scheme costs before capitalization and charged to the statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to HK$18,755,121 (HK$18,389,059 in 2004) which were incurred after utilization of forfeitures to reduce our contributions
of HK$2,292,243 (HK$1,735,772 in 2004).

The total employers cost in respect of our retirement scheme, including the cost related to
the MPF which is not operated by us, charged to statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to HK$31,870,567 (HK$29,997,877 in 2004).

Employee Share Option Scheme

We operate an employee share option scheme pursuant to which our board of directors may, at their discretion, award any full time employee of any member of us, including Executive Directors of any of our subsidiaries,
to take up options to subscribe for ordinary shares up to a maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares equal to 10% of our total issued share capital. The price for an ordinary share payable by a participant upon the exercise of an option will be
determined by our board of directors in their discretion from time to time, except that with effect from September 1, 2001, the minimum exercise price must be at least the higher of:



| |  |  | the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges daily quotations sheet on the date of grant, which must be a business day; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges daily quotations sheets for the 5 business days immediately preceding the date of grant.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The period during which an option may be exercised will be determined by the Directors at their discretion, except that no
option may be exercised later than 10 years after it has been granted. The employee share option scheme commenced on November 2, 1999 and will remain in force for a period of ten years from such date.

Under our employee share option scheme, certain options to subscribe for a total of 22,910,000, 50,034,000 and 380,000 of our ordinary shares were
granted during 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, to our executive(s)/employee(s) at subscription prices of HK$10.49, HK$3.30 and HK$3.30 per share, respectively.

The above-mentioned options include the options granted to two of our Directors, Mr. Stephen T. H. Ng and Mr. Samuel S. F. Wong (resigned on January 1, 2006), to subscribe for 1,500,000 and
700,000 ordinary shares, respectively. The consideration for the granting of such options to them was HK$10 per option. The option rights are exercisable during the period from April 1, 2001 to December 31, 2009 at a subscription price of
HK$10.49 per share.

The above-mentioned options also include the options granted to Mr. Stephen T. H. Ng and
Mr. Samuel S. F. Wong (resigned on January 1, 2006) to subscribe for 1,100,000 and 476,000 of our ordinary shares respectively. The consideration for the granting of such options to them was HK$10 per option. The option rights of
150,000 shares in respect of Mr. Ng and 65,500 shares in respect of Mr. Wong were exercisable from April 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003. The remaining 700,000 shares in respect of Mr. Ng and 241,500 shares in respect of
Mr. Wong were exercisable up to December 31, 2005.

As all of the Connected Transactions described above are and will continue to be conducted on an ongoing
basis, it is considered that strict compliance with the relevant requirements (the Requirements) relating to the Connected Transactions under the Rules governing the Listing of Securities (the Listing Rules) on The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) would be impractical. On our application, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange granted us conditional waivers from strict compliance with the Requirements in respect of some of the
Connected Transactions, namely, (I) to (VIII) above.

Our directors, including our independent non-executive directors, have reviewed
the Connected Transactions and confirmed that:

1. the Connected Transactions were entered into:

(a) by us in the ordinary and usual course of business;

(b) either on normal commercial terms or if there are not sufficient comparable transactions to judge whether they are on normal
commercial terms, on terms that are no less favorable than those available to or from (as appropriate) independent third parties; and

(c) in accordance with the relevant agreements governing such Connected Transactions on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of our shareholders as a whole.

2. in respect of each of the Connected Transactions mentioned above in paragraphs numbered I.1, I.2(a), I.3(a), I.4, II.1, II.2, III.1,
III.2, III.3, III.4(a), III.4(b), IV.2 and V, the aggregate amount of Connected Transactions within each such category for the financial year ended December 31, 2005 of the Company was less than 2.5% of the applicable percentage ratios of the
Company under the Listing Rules and also did not exceed the relevant cap amount previously prescribed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (as set out in the relevant conditional waiver granted to the Company in January 2002), i.e. 3% of our consolidated
net tangible assets as disclosed in our audited consolidated accounts for the year ended December 31, 2004;

3. in
respect of each of the Connected Transactions mentioned above in paragraphs numbered I.2(b), I.3(b) and IV.1, the aggregate amount of fees paid for the financial year ended December 31, 2005 in respect of each of such category was less than
2.5% of the applicable percentage ratios of the Company under the Listing Rules and also did not exceed the relevant cap amount of HK$10 million previously prescribed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as set out in the relevant conditional waiver
granted to the Company in October 2001; and

4. in respect of the Connected Transaction mentioned above in paragraph
numbered VI, the amount paid for the financial year ended December 31, 2005 was less than 2.5% of the applicable percentage ratios of the Company under the Listing Rules and also did not exceed the relevant cap amount (as previously prescribed
by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and as set out in the relevant conditional waiver granted to the Company in October 2000) of 1% of our turnover for the immediately preceding year.

On October 18, 2004, an agreement (the Agreement) was entered into by iNL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with Wharf T&T
in respect of the provision of IP Point service to Wharf T&T for three years commencing from October 18, 2004. There is a right for either party to terminate the Agreement at the first or second anniversary by giving 3 months prior notice.
Since the Company is a 73%-owned subsidiary of Wharf, the transaction constitutes a continuing connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules.

The service fee per month per IP Point is HK$25 net of discounts (if applicable), payable in cash and on monthly basis. The minimum purchase is 25,000 IP Points, applicable from May 18, 2005 onwards. The parties
have agreed to adopt an annual cap amount for the service fees for each of the three financial years of the Company ending December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Such annual cap amounts for those three financial years are HK$25 million, HK$40
million and HK$50 million respectively, which are in line with iNLs internal forecasts based on an upside scenario. No cap amount was adopted for the service fee payable for the period from commencement of the Agreement to December 31,
2004 or the year ended December 31, 2005, which was below the de minimis level under the Listing Rules.

In April 2005, HKC and i-CABLE WebServe Limited (iWL), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of
i-CABLE; and Wharf T&T entered into an agreement whereby the parties agreed to mutually appoint each other as their non-exclusive sales and servicing agent for one or more service plans (Service Plans) as the parties may from time to
time decide to offer. Such Service Plans may comprise one or more of pay-TV, broadband and telephony services.

For each subscription
agreement for the Service Plans solicited by a party for the others, the other parties (whose services form part of the Service Plans) will each pay to the soliciting party a one-off payment of HK$120 in the month of sale and a monthly sum of HK$20
for the contractual term of the relevant subscription contract or in the absence of which, a period of 12 months. The said service fee may from time to time be negotiated and varied by the parties on an arms length basis with regard to the
then prevailing market conditions and the necessary resources that the parties are required to commit to the said agency services.

The
parties have also agreed that the aggregate annual service fees payable or receivable, whichever is higher, by Wharf T&T to or from (as the case may be) HKC and iWL under the agreement for each of the years ending December 31,
2005, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 must not exceed HK$33.1 million, HK$47 million and HK$50 million respectively.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

Financial Statements

See Item 19(a) for a list of financial statements filed under Item 18.

Legal Proceedings

A litigation was lodged by the Secretary of Justice on behalf of the Hong
Kong Government against HKC for the settlement of subscription royalty of HK$1,237,190 which remained outstanding, and interest accrued on the said outstanding amount. The outstanding subscription royalty of HK$1,237,190 arose from a dispute between
the Government and HKC over the interpretation of the calculation basis of HKCs subscription royalty payable for year 2000. If HKC is found to be liable, HKCs liability for the amount claimed plus interest accrued up to December 31,
2005 may amount up to HK$1,489,804. The management is of the view, based on legal advice, that it is not probable that the court will find a case against HKC. No provision has accordingly been made in this respect.

Dividend Policy

Annual dividends, if any, on
our outstanding ordinary shares and ADSs will be declared by and subject to the discretion of our board of directors and must be approved at a general meeting of shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may from time to time pay to the
shareholders such interim dividends as appear to our board of directors to be justified. We may pay dividends to shareholders in the future; however, such payments will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, earnings,
capital requirements and surplus, general financial conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors considered relevant by our board of directors.

B. Significant Changes

Not applicable.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. Share Capital

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

We are a Hong Kong company and our affairs are governed by our
memorandum and articles of association and Hong Kong law. The following are summaries of material provisions of our memorandum and articles of association and Hong Kong law as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.

Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Under the laws of Hong Kong, shareholders who are not residents of Hong Kong
may hold, vote and transfer their ordinary shares in the same manner as Hong Kong residents. There are no conversion or redemption rights of the ordinary shares.

Voting Rights

We are required to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders within 15 months from the date of
our last annual general meeting. We may also hold other general meetings of shareholders, which are called extraordinary general meetings, from time to time. Our board of directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting at will or, under
section 113 of the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, upon request of our shareholders and in default, an extraordinary general meeting may be convened by the requesting shareholders. Our annual general meeting and any general meeting of i-CABLE
called for the passing of a special resolution requires at least 21 days notice, and any other meeting of i-CABLE requires at least 14 days notice. The notice must specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and, in the case
of special business, the general nature of that business. NASDAQ MarketPlace Rule 4350 (f) requires a minimum quorum of 331/3percent of the outstanding shares of a companys common voting stock for any meeting of the holders of a companys common stock. At the time of our initial public offering in 1999, we received an exemption from
compliance with the quorum requirement under NASDAQ MarketPlace Rule 4350 (f). According to our articles of association, the quorum for a general meeting is two shareholders present in person or by proxy. We believe this is consistent with the
practice of companies incorporated in Hong Kong.

A corporation that is a shareholder will be deemed to be present in person by its
duly authorized representative or by proxy. If within five minutes from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon request of shareholders, will be dissolved. In any other case, the meeting will stand
adjourned to such other day not being less than 14 nor more than 28 days thereafter and at such time and place as may be decided by the chairman of the meeting. At an adjourned meeting, one shareholder present in person or by proxy will be a quorum.

##### Table of Contents

Subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any
class or classes of shares, at any general meeting every shareholder who is present in person has one vote on a show of hands, and on a poll every shareholder present in person or by proxy has one vote for every ordinary share held by such
shareholder.

If at any time our capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the special rights attached to any
class may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, be varied or abrogated either with the consent in writing by at least three-fourths of the holders of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution
passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. At such separate general meetings, the provisions of our articles of association relating to general meetings apply with an additional requirement that the necessary
quorum be not less than one-third of the issued shares of that class, and at an adjourned meeting, and that any holder of shares of the class present may demand a poll.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and the content of proxy statements.

Dividends

No dividend is payable except out of our profits or other distributable reserves.

Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividends, all dividends are declared and paid
according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid, but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls is for this purpose treated as paid up on the share. All dividends will be apportioned and paid equally
according to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividends are paid. Our board of directors may deduct from any dividend or other monies payable to our shareholders all sums of
money, if any, presently payable to us by such shareholder on account of calls, installments or otherwise.

In respect of any dividend that
our board of directors or our shareholders in general meeting have resolved be paid or declared, our board of directors may further propose either:



| |  |  | that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid provided that the shareholders are at the same time accorded the right
to elect to receive such dividend, or part thereof, as the case may be, in cash in lieu of such allotment, or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that the shareholder entitled to such dividend be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares credited as fully paid in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as the
Board may think fit.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any dividend unclaimed after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such dividend will
be forfeited and will revert to us.

Liquidation

If we are to be liquidated, the liquidator may, with the approval of our shareholders and any other approval required by the Companies Ordinance, divide among our shareholders in cash or in kind the whole or any part
of our assets and may vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the shareholders as the liquidator, with the approval of the shareholders, thinks fit, provided, that a shareholder will not be compelled
to accept any shares or other assets that would subject such shareholder to liability.

Registration and Transfers

Any shareholder may transfer all or any of his fully paid shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual common form or in any other form that the board of directors may approve, subject to such of the requirements
of our memorandum and articles of association as may be applicable. Such requirements may include:



| |  |  | lodging the instrument of transfer with us accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require
to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred to four, in the case of a transfer to joint holders.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The instrument of transfer of a share will be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and, in the case of partly paid shares, the transferee, and the
transferor will be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register. All instruments of transfer, when registered, may be retained by us.

We may charge a fee not exceeding HK$2, or such higher amount as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange may approve for the time being, for registering any
transfer or other document relating to or affecting the title to any of our shares, or for otherwise making any entry in the register of members relating to any of our shares.

Our board of directors will cause to be kept a register of shareholders on which various particulars required by the Companies Ordinance are entered. We
are entitled, by giving notice in an advertisement in a newspaper circulating generally in Hong Kong, to close our register of shareholders for a period not exceeding 30 days in each year. The period of 30 days may be extended up to 60 days in a
year by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting of our shareholders.

Changes in Share Capital

Our shareholders may from time to time by ordinary resolution increase our capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such amounts as the resolution
will prescribe.

Subject to the Companies Ordinance, our shareholders may, by resolution, increase the capital, direct that the new shares
or any of them will be offered in the first instance to all the holders for the time being of shares of any class or classes in proportion to their shareholdings or may make any other provisions as to the issue of the new shares. The new shares will
be subject to all the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association with reference to lien, the payment of calls, forfeiture, transfer, transmission and otherwise.

Our shareholders may from time to time by ordinary resolution:



| |  |  | consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sub-divide all or part of our shares into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by our articles of association;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cancel any shares that at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its authorized share capital
by the amount of the shares so cancelled; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | subject to any condition prescribed by law, reduce our issued share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund or any share premium account or other undistributable reserve in
any manner.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where any difficulty arises in regard to any such consolidation and division, our board of directors may issue
fractional certificates or arrange for the sale of the fractional shares and distribution of the net proceeds equally among the shareholders. For this purpose, our board of directors may authorize the transfer of fractional shares to or in
accordance with the directions of the purchaser.

Pre-emptive Rights

The Companies Ordinance provides that our directors may not, without prior shareholder approval, allot shares to existing shareholders other than in proportion to their respective shareholding. Each year we obtain a
general mandate from shareholders authorizing our directors to allot and issue and otherwise dispose of ordinary shares up to the level permitted by the listing rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange without requiring such specific approval.

Purchase of Own Shares

Subject
to the provisions of the Companies Ordinance and other applicable laws or regulations and to any special rights conferred on the holder of any class of our shares, we may purchase our shares of any class. On purchase, such shares will be cancelled.
Under the listing rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, restrictions are imposed on companies listed in Hong Kong, which accordingly apply to us, on the purchase by such a company of its own shares, including (i) a requirement for prior
approval, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval in relation to a particular transaction, by the shareholders in general meeting, (ii) limitations on purchases in the market over a particular period, and (iii) reporting
requirements.

Miscellaneous

Share certificates registered in the names of two or more persons are deliverable to any one of them named in our share register, and if two or more such persons tender a vote, the vote of the person whose name first appears in the share
register will be accepted to the exclusion of any other. In the case of joint holders, dividends that are declared will be paid to whichever of such persons is named first in the share register, and notices will be given to any one of them named in
the share register.

Certain Rights of Our Shareholders

In the event that a duty owed by our directors may have been breached, shareholders holding in excess of 10% of our share capital may request our directors to convene a general meeting. At such general meeting,
shareholders present may pass an ordinary resolution to remove a director or directors and to elect replacement directors. Our shareholders may petition the courts for an appropriate order of the courts on the grounds of conduct by the directors
that is oppressive or prejudicial to some part of the shareholders, including the shareholder bringing the action. Hong Kong law allows a derivative action to be brought by our shareholders where it is alleged that our directors have committed a
fraudulent action on our minority shareholders.

Certain Powers of Our Directors

Our Articles of Association give our board of directors the power to borrow and raise funds, including issuing securities. Our board of directors may also
mortgage or charge all or any part of the Companys undertaking, property and assets and uncalled capital.

Our Articles of
Association limit a directors power to vote on transactions in which he or she is materially interested. Subject to exceptions described below, a director of the Company shall not vote on any contract, arrangement or proposal in which the
director knows he/she or any of his or her associates is materially interested. For this purpose, material interest is presumed if a company, in which the director and his or her associates in aggregate own five percent or more of its shares or
voting rights, is materially interested in the transaction. A director of the Company may, however, vote on the following matters:



| |  |  | any contract, arrangement or proposal to give security or indemnity to the director or his or her associates for money lent or obligations undertaken by such director or his or her
associates at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or its subsidiaries;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indemnification

Our directors and officers are indemnified by i-CABLE against all liabilities incurred by such directors and officers in defending any proceedings,
whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in their favor, or in which they are acquitted, or in connection with any application under the Companies Ordinance in which relief from liability is granted to them by the court.

Inspection of Books and Records

Except when
the register of members is closed, the register and the index of names of our shareholders are open to any shareholder for inspection without charge during business hours. However, no shareholder, other than our officers, has any right to inspect
any of our accounting records except as conferred by law or authorized by our directors.

Transfer Agent

We have appointed Tengis Limited as the transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares.

C. Material Contracts

See Exhibits 10.1-10.10, which are incorporated by reference to our Registration
Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-11014) filed with the Commission on November 1, 1999.

D. Exchange Controls

Under existing Hong Kong law, (i) there are no foreign exchange controls or other
laws, decrees or regulations that affect the remittance of dividends or other payments on the Companys outstanding ordinary shares to U.S. residents and (ii) there are no limitations on the rights of non-resident or foreign owners to hold
the Companys ordinary shares.

E. Taxation

This summary is based on the Inland Revenue Ordinance, Stamp Duty Ordinance and Estate Duty
Ordinance, their subsidiary legislation, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possible retroactively.

Tax on Dividends

No tax is payable in Hong Kong by way of withholding or otherwise in respect of dividends on the ordinary shares.

Profits Tax

No tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of the ordinary shares and ADSs
as long as they are held as capital assets. Trading gains from the sale of assets by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong where such gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business
will be chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax which is currently imposed at the rate of 17.5% on corporations and at the rate of 16% on unincorporated businesses or individuals. Gains or losses from sales of shares listed on the HKSE will be
considered to be derived from or arise in Hong Kong.

Gains or losses from sales of ADSs may be considered to be derived from or arise in
Hong Kong where either the contracts of purchase and sale are effected in Hong Kong. In determining whether a contract is effected in Hong Kong, the IRD considers all steps leading up to and including the signing and execution of the purchase and
sales contracts. Liability for Hong Kong profits tax would thus arise in respect of trading gains from sales of ordinary shares realized by persons carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities in Hong Kong. Liability for Hong Kong
profits tax would also arise in respect of trading gains from sales of ADSs realized by persons carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities in Hong Kong where the contracts of purchase and sale were effected in Hong Kong.

Stamp Duty

Hong Kong stamp duty, currently
charged at the rate of HK$1.00 per HK$1,000 or part thereof on the higher of the consideration for or the value of the ordinary shares, will be payable by the purchaser on every purchase and by the seller on every sale of ordinary shares. For
example, a total of HK$2.00 per HK$1,000 or part thereof is currently payable on a typical sale and purchase transaction involving ordinary shares. In addition, a fixed duty of HK$5 is currently payable on any instrument of transfer of ordinary
shares. The withdrawal of ordinary shares upon the surrender of ADSs, and the issuance of ADSs upon the deposit of ordinary shares, will also attract stamp duty at the rate described above for sale and purchase transactions unless the withdrawal or
deposit of ADSs does not result in a change in the beneficial interest of the ordinary shares under Hong Kong law. The issuance of ADSs by the depositary upon the deposit of ordinary shares issued directly by i-CABLE to the depositary or for the
account of the depositary does not attract stamp duty. No Hong Kong stamp duty is payable upon the transfer of ADSs outside Hong Kong where the transfer does not result in a requirement to register such transfer of ADSs in Hong Kong or a change in
the beneficial interest of the ordinary shares under Hong Kong law.

If stamp duty is not paid on or before the due date, a penalty of up
to 10 times the duty payable may be imposed.

Estate Duty

The ordinary shares are Hong Kong property under Hong Kong law, and accordingly such ordinary shares may be subject to estate duty on the death of the beneficial owner of such ordinary shares, regardless of the place
of the owners residence, citizenship or domicile. The IRD may treat the ADSs as Hong Kong property that may be subject to estate duty on the death of the beneficial owner of the ADSs even if the ADSs are located outside Hong Kong at the date
of such death. Hong Kong estate duty is imposed on a progressive scale from 5% to 15%. The rate of and the threshold for estate duty has, in the past, been adjusted on a fairly regular basis. No estate duty is payable when the aggregate value of the
dutiable estate does not exceed HK$7.5 million, and the maximum rate of duty of 15% applies when the aggregate value of the dutiable estate exceeds HK$10.5 million.

##### Table of Contents

Where a person has transferred ordinary shares to a controlled company (which is defined in the Estate
Duty Ordinance to mean a company controlled by not more than 5 persons) during a period of 3 years ending on the persons death, the controlled company may be liable to estate duty if during that period the deceased has received benefits from
it. This may also apply to a transfer by the deceased of ADSs to the company if the ADSs were to be treated as Hong Kong property by the Inland Revenue Department.

In November 2005, the Revenue (Abolition of Estate Duty) Ordinance was enacted, which implements the proposal to abolish estate duty. Under the new law, estates of persons who pass away on or after 11 February
2006 will not be subject to estate duty.

Tax Treaties

No double tax treaty exists between the United States and Hong Kong apart from a treaty to avoid double taxation on shipping income.

United States

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations that are anticipated to be material to the purchase, ownership, and
disposition of our shares or ADSs by U.S. Holders, as defined below. This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations,
published rulings and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are all subject to change or different interpretation, possibly on a retroactive basis. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income
taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules including: partnerships, financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers,
tax-exempt organizations, and, except as described below, non-U.S. Holders, or to persons that will hold our shares or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, or constructive sale transaction for United States federal income tax purposes or
that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any foreign, state, or local tax
considerations. This summary assumes that investors will hold our shares or ADSs as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code.

Each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and foreign income and other tax
considerations of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our shares or ADSs.

For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder is a
beneficial owner of shares or ADSs that is for United States federal income tax purposes:



| |  |  | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation, or other entity that is taxable as a corporation, created in or organized under the laws of the United States or any State or political subdivision thereof;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control
all substantial decisions of the trust; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust that was in existence on August 20, 1996, was treated as a United States person, for United States federal income tax purposes, on the previous day, and elected to
continue to be so treated.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

A beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs that is not a U.S. Holder is referred to herein as a
Non-U.S. Holder.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a passive foreign investment company or
PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes, if 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of passive income or 50% or more of its assets are passive for any year. Based on our current and projected
income, assets, and activities, we presently believe that we are not a PFIC in the current year and do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. This is, however, a factual determination made on an annual basis. Because the classification of
certain of our assets for United States federal income tax purposes is uncertain, the PFIC rules are subject to administrative interpretation, and the relevant facts may change in the future, however, no assurance can be given that we are not or
will not be treated as a PFIC. The discussion below under U.S. Holders-Dividends and U.S. Holders-Sale or Other Disposition of Shares or ADSs, assumes that we will not be subject to treatment as a PFIC for United States
federal income tax purposes. If we were currently or were to become a PFIC, U.S. Holders would be subject to special rules and a variety of potentially adverse tax consequences under the Code. See PFIC Considerations below.

U.S. Holders

For United States
federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder of an ADS will be treated as the owner of the proportionate interest of the shares held by the depositary that is represented by an ADS and evidenced by such ADS. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be
recognized upon the exchange of an ADS for the holders proportionate interest in the shares. A U.S. Holders tax basis in the withdrawn shares will be the same as the tax basis in the ADS surrendered therefore, and the holding period in
the withdrawn shares will include the period during which the holder held the surrendered ADS.

Dividends. Any cash distributions
paid by us out of our earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, will be subject to tax as ordinary dividend income and will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder upon actual or constructive
receipt. Cash distributions paid by us in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in our shares or ADSs, and thereafter as gain from the sale
or exchange of a capital asset. Dividends paid in Hong Kong dollars will be includible in income in a United States dollar amount based on the United States dollar to Hong Kong dollar exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt of such dividends
by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, or by the U.S. Holder, in the case of shares held directly by such U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax treatment of any foreign
currency gain or loss recognized on the subsequent conversion of Hong Kong dollars received as dividends to United States dollars. Dividends received on shares or ADSs will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to
corporations.

Under current law, qualified dividend income received by an individual after December 31, 2002 and before
January 1, 2009 is subject to United States federal income tax rates lower than those applicable to ordinary income. The top federal income tax rate on such qualifying dividends received by an individual is 15%, or 5% for those individuals
whose incomes fall in the 10- or 15- percent brackets. Based upon our existing and anticipated future operations and current assets, we believe that we are a qualified foreign corporation and that our dividends paid to U.S. Holders who
are individuals will be eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income, provided that such Holders satisfy applicable holding period requirements with respect to the ADSs and other application requirements. Dividends paid by foreign
corporations that are classified as PFICs are not qualified dividend income. See PFIC Considerations below.



55



---

##### Table of Contents

Dividends received on shares or ADSs generally will be treated, for United States federal income tax
purposes, as income from non-U.S. sources. Such non-U.S. source income generally will be passive income or financial services income for taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2006, and as passive
category income, or in certain cases general category income, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, which is treated separately from other types of income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit. A U.S.
Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders who do not elect to claim a foreign tax
credit for federal income tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for United States federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which the U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income
taxes.

In addition, the United States Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom depositary shares are pre-released may be
taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by the holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of foreign withholding taxes could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the United
States Treasury.

Sale or Other Disposition of Shares or ADSs. A U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or
other disposition of shares or ADSs in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in such shares or ADSs, as each is determined in U.S. dollars. Any such capital
gain or loss will be long-term if the shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss. The claim of a deduction in respect of a capital loss, for United States federal income tax purposes,
may be subject to limitations. If a U.S. Holder receives Hong Kong dollars for any such disposition, such U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the United States federal income tax treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss
recognized on the subsequent conversion of the Hong Kong dollars to United States dollars.

Pursuant to recently-enacted legislation, a
penalty in the amount of $10,000 in the case of a natural person and $50,000 in any other case is imposed on any taxpayer that fails to timely disclose its participation in a reportable transaction (as defined in Section 6011 of the
Code). A taxpayer that has participated in a reportable transaction during the tax year must attach a disclosure statement to its United States federal income tax return. A reportable transaction includes a transaction
generating a loss under Code Section 165 in excess of certain specified amounts (which amounts vary depending on several factors, including the status of the taxpayer as an individual, trust, partnership or corporation). Investment in shares
and ADSs could be treated as a reportable transaction that must be disclosed on a U.S. Holders United States federal income tax return if the investment results in the taxpayer claiming a foreign currency loss on such tax return
equal to or greater than the specified amount (e.g., $50,000 in the case of a taxpayer that is an individual or trust). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the circumstances in which an investment in shares or ADSs may
result in a reportable transaction that is required to be disclosed.

PFIC Considerations

If we were to be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any
benefits from the deferral of United States federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a foreign company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. In such event, a U.S. Holder of the shares or ADSs
may be subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates on (i) any gain recognized on the sales of the shares or ADSs and (ii) any excess distribution paid on the shares or ADSs (generally, a distribution in excess of 125% of the
average annual distributions paid by us in the three preceding taxable years). In addition, a U.S. Holder may be subject to an interest charge on such gain or excess distribution. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the potential tax consequences to them if we are or do become a PFIC, as well as certain elections that may be available to them to mitigate such consequences.

##### Table of Contents

Non-U.S. Holders

An investment in shares or ADSs by a Non-U.S. Holder will not give rise to any United States federal income tax consequences unless:



| |  |  | the dividends received or gain recognized on the sale of the shares or ADSs by such person is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by such person
in the United States as determined under United States federal income tax law, and the dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment (or in the case of an individual, a fixed place of business) that you maintain in the United States if
that is required by an applicable income tax treaty as a condition for subjecting you to U.S. taxation on a net income basis. In such cases you generally will be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. holder. If you are a corporate non-U.S. Holder,
effectively connected dividends may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower rate if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a
lower rate, or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of gains recognized on a sale of shares or ADSs by an individual, such individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more and certain other conditions are
met. The non-U.S. Holder will be subject to United States federal income tax at a rate of 30% on the amount by which the U.S.-source capital gains exceed non-U.S.-source capital losses.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends on or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange or redemption of shares or ADSs paid within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States) to
U.S. Holders other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, and backup withholding tax at the rate of 28% may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (or otherwise
establishes, in the manner provided by law, an exemption from backup withholding) or to report dividends required to be shown on the U.S. Holders United States Federal income tax returns.

Backup withholding is not an additional income tax, and the amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as credit
against the U.S. Holders United States Federal income tax liability provided that the appropriate returns are filed.

A non-U.S.
Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status to the payor, under penalties of perjury, on IRS Form W-8BEN.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

We are exposed to foreign exchange and interest-rate risk primarily associated with underlying assets and/or liabilities. During 2004, we entered into a
forward foreign exchange contract with a financial institution to hedge certain firmly committed, non-Hong Kong dollar commercial transactions in 2005. To date, we have not entered into any other types of derivatives to hedge against foreign
currency fluctuation or interest-rate changes, nor do we speculate in foreign currency.

Foreign Currency Risk

The functional currency for our operations is the HK dollar. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses and liabilities in U.S. dollars,
primarily because our licensed programming costs are in U.S. dollars. There have been no material operating trends or effects on our liquidity as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. To date, the Hong Kong Government has continued to
support a linkage of the value of the HK dollar to the U.S. dollar at approximately HK$7.80 to US$1.00. On July 21, 2005, the Peoples Bank of China announced that the exchange rate of U.S. dollar to Renminbi would be adjusted from US$1 to
RMB8.27 to US$1 to RMB8.11, and it ceased to peg the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Instead, the Renminbi will be pegged to a basket of currencies, which components will be adjusted based on changes in market supply and demand under a set of
systematic principles. On September 23, 2005, the Chinese government widened the daily trading band for Renminbi against non-US dollar currencies from 1.5% to 3.0% to improve the flexibility of the new foreign exchange system. The Renminbi may
be revalued further against the U.S. dollar or other currencies, or may be permitted to enter into a full or limited free float, which may result in an appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar or other
currencies, any of which could in turn give rise to a revaluation of the HK dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of HK$352 million (US$45.4 million). The interest income derived from these cash and
cash equivalents is determined with reference to market interest rates.

Deflation

For the years 2003 and 2004, Hong Kong experienced an annual deflation rate of 2.6% and 0.4%, respectively, based on its Composite Consumer Price Index.
Deflation in Hong Kong did not have a material impact on our operations. For the year 2005, Hong Kong experienced an annual inflation rate of 1.1%.

Pre-Approval of Services Provided by KPMG

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all non-audit work performed by KPMG after January 1, 2003. Specifically,
the policies and procedures prohibit KPMG from performing any services for the Company or its subsidiaries without the prior approval of the Audit Committee.

All of the services provided by KPMG in 2005 were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the approval policies described above, and none of such services were approved pursuant to the procedures described in Rule
2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X, which waives the general requirement for pre-approval in certain circumstances.

Nasdaq listing
requirements require listed companies to be audited by an independent public accountant that either: (a) has received an external quality control review by an independent public accountant (peer review) that determines whether the
auditors system of quality control is in place and operating effectively and whether established policies and procedures and applicable auditing standards are being followed or (b) is enrolled in a peer review program and has within 18
months received a peer review that meets guidelines acceptable to Nasdaq. Among other things, the peer review should be comparable to the peer review standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the peer review program
should be subject to oversight by an independent body comparable to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB).

While there is no peer review requirement in Hong Kong, the companys independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, are registered with the PCAOB and also with the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the
regulatory body of Hong Kong public accountants, and are subject to their oversight and inspection reviews.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and
Shareholders

i-CABLE Communications Limited:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of i-CABLE Communications Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of
December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, all expressed in Hong Kong dollars. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Groups management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and auditing standards
generally accepted in Hong Kong. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of i-CABLE Communications Limited and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

As further described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2005 the Group adopted all new applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, which collective term includes all applicable individual
Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect
of such differences is presented in Note 35 to the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader. We have audited the translation, and in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements expressed in
Hong Kong dollars have been translated into United States dollars on the basis set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended
December 31, 2005

1. Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all
applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRSs) which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (HKASs) and Interpretations issued
by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) (HK GAAP). Information relating to the nature and effect of differences between HK GAAP and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(US GAAP) are set out in Note 35.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs that are effective or available for
early adoption for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. Information on the changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these new and revised HKFRSs for the current and prior accounting periods
reflected in these financial statements is provided in Note 3.

The consolidated financial statements are expressed in Hong Kong dollars.
Solely for the convenience of the reader, the December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements have been translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange US$1=HK$7.7533, the noon buying rate for cable transfers for buying
Hong Kong dollars at December 31, 2005 as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that Hong Kong dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at that
rate or at any other particular rate at December 31, 2005 or any other date.

2. Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HK GAAP. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group is set out
below.

(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except for certain available-for-sale equity
securities which are stated at their fair value (see Note 2 (q)).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HK GAAP
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk
of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 31.

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



(c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to December 31 each year.

(i) Subsidiaries and controlled entities

A subsidiary, in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, is a company in which the Group, directly or indirectly, holds more than half of the issued share capital, or controls more than half of the voting
power, or controls the composition of the Board of Directors. Subsidiaries are considered to be controlled if the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern their financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their
activities.

An investment in a controlled subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the
date that control commences until the date the control ceases.

Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized
profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the
extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(ii) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the
acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment (see Note 2(r)).

Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of a business combination is recognized immediately in the statement of
operations.

On disposal of a cash-generating unit during the year, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is
included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.

(d) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 2(r)).
The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes materials, labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an
appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs (see Note 2(j)).

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an
item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognized in the statement of operations on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost less their estimated residual value, if any, of the equipment required to
support a fully operating network and cable television system at rates determined by the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from five to 20 years, adjusted by the appropriate pre-maturity fraction during the pre-maturity period, which
began with the first earned subscriber revenue on

October 31, 1993 and was to continue until the earlier of the attainment of a predetermined subscriber level and December 31, 1996. The
pre-maturity period ended on November 30, 1996, when the predetermined subscriber level was attained. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the costs, less the estimated residual value, if any, of other assets at
rates determined by the estimated useful lives of two to 40 years.

The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:



|                                                                  |  |                                                                                               
|----------------------------------------------------------------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Network, decoders, cable modems and television production systems |  | 5% to 50%                                                                                     
|Furniture, fixtures, other equipment and motor vehicles           |  | 10% to 33.33%                                                                                 
|Buildings situated on leasehold land *                            |  | Higher of 2.5% or percentage to amortize the asset cost over the unexpired term of land leases
|Leasehold improvements                                            |  | 8.33%                                                                                         

---

|* | This represents units in industrial and commercial buildings which the Directors consider impracticable to split the cost into land and buildings.
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the
parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

Under certain circumstances, the Group may have an obligation to dismantle part of its network upon request by concerned parties. Owing to the absence of such history, no reliable estimate can be reasonably made in respect of such potential
obligation.

(e) Programming costs

(i) Programming library

Programming library consists of presentation rights for
commissioned programs and acquired programs for showing on the Groups television channels, and commissioned programs and films for licensing purposes.

Presentation rights are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is other than
indefinite) and any impairment losses (see Note 2(r)). Amortization is charged to the statement of operations on an accelerated basis over the license period or over the estimated number of future showings. Subsequent expenditure on programs after
initial acquisition is recognized as an expense when incurred.

Commissioned programs and films for licensing purposes
comprise direct production costs and production overheads, and are stated at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable value. Costs are amortized on an individual program/film basis in the ratio of the current years gross revenues to
managements forecast of the total ultimate gross revenues from all sources.

(ii) Live programs

Live programs consist of third party feed programs and are charged to the statement of operations upon telecast of the programs. Payments
made in advance or in arrears of program cost recognition are recorded as prepayments or accruals, as appropriate.

(iii) In-house developed programs

In-house developed programs consist primarily of news, documentary and general entertainment programs with short lead-time from production
to telecast. The costs of in-house developed programs are accordingly recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

(iv) Film rights and perpetual film rights

Film rights generated by the Group or perpetual film rights acquired by
the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is other than indefinite) and impairment losses (see Note 2(r)). Costs less provision for impairment losses represent the carrying value transferred from
films in progress upon completion or the purchase price of the perpetual film rights, and are amortized at rates calculated to write off the costs in proportion to the expected revenues from exhibition, the reproduction and distribution of audio
visual products, the licensing of video rights and other broadcast rights following their release. Such rates are subject to annual review by the directors.

(v) Films in progress

Films in progress are stated at cost less any provision for
impairment losses (see Note 2(r)). Costs include all direct costs associated with the production of films. Provisions are made for costs which are in excess of the expected future revenue generated by these films. The balance of film production
costs payable at year-end is disclosed as commitments. Costs of films are transferred to film rights upon completion.

(f)
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the weighted average basis and
comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is determined by the Group based on the expected replacement cost of the
inventories net of provision for obsolescence.

(g) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognized at fair value and thereafter stated at amortized cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful
debts (See Note 2(r)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment
losses for bad and doubtful debts (see Note 2(r)).

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form
an integral part of the Groups cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement. None of the Groups cash and cash equivalents are restricted as to
withdrawal.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized in the statement of operations provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs,
if applicable, can be measured reliably as follows:

(i) Income from the provision of subscription television services,
Internet services, and Internet Protocol Point wholesale services is recognized at the time when the services are provided.

(ii) Installation fees are recognized upon completion of the related installation work to the extent of direct selling costs.

(iii) Where packaged service fees comprise a number of elements and the fees can be allocated on a reasonable basis into elements of subscription service and installation service, revenue is recognized in accordance
with the accounting policies set out in Notes 2(i)(i) and (ii). Where packaged service fees cannot be allocated into individual elements, the fees are deferred and recognized evenly over the term of the service period.

(iv) Advertising income net of agency deductions is recognized on telecast of the advertisement. When an advertising contract covers a
specified period, the related income is recognized evenly over the contract period.

(v) Program licensing income is
recognized in full upon delivery of the programs concerned in accordance with the terms of the license contracts, and is stated net of withholding tax.

(vi) Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognized in the statement of operations in equal installments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more
representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognized in the statement of operations as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals
are recognized as income in the accounting period in which they are earned.

(vii) Dividend income from unlisted investments
is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is established.

(viii) Interest income is recognized as
it accrues using the effective interest method.

(j) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in the statement of operations in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized as
being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.

The capitalization of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing
costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying
asset for its intended use are interrupted or complete.

(k) Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

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 to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences
respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized, are recognized. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the
reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible
temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in
which the tax loss or credit can be utilized.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those
temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the
case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognized is
measured based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not
discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets
are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional
conditions are met:



| |  |  | in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the same taxable entity; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to
realize the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realize and settle simultaneously.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(l) Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to HK$40,924,164, HK$42,562,845 and HK$42,236,230 for each of the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

(m) Operating lease charges

Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to the statement of operations in equal
installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received or granted are recognized in the
statement of operations as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made.

(n) Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Groups operations is the Hong Kong dollar.

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates
ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

The results of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the
dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations acquired on or after January 1, 2005, are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance
sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognized directly in a separate component of equity. Goodwill arising on consolidation of a foreign operation acquired before January 1, 2005 is translated at the foreign exchange rate that
applied at the date of acquisition of the foreign operation.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange
differences recognized in equity which relate to that foreign operation is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.

(o) Retirement benefits

The principal retirement scheme operated by the Group is a defined contribution
retirement scheme which has been closed to new employees joining after October 1, 2000 while existing members of the scheme can continue to accrue future benefits. Employees joining after October 1, 2000 will participate in the Mandatory
Provident Fund (MPF) with terms as stipulated by the MPF Authority. Assets of both schemes are maintained independently from those of the Group. Contributions to the retirement schemes are charged to the statement of operations as and
when incurred. Retirement contributions incurred by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 amounted to HK$30,939,810, HK$29,997,877 and HK$31,870,567 respectively.

(p) Related parties

For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the Group if the Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to
control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Group and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be
individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/ or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the Group where those parties
are individuals, and post employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Group.

(q) Investments in equity securities

The Groups policies for investments in equity securities are as follows:

Investments in equity
securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognized in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see Note 2(r)).

Other investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. At
each balance sheet date the fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized directly in equity, except for impairment losses (see Note 2(r)) and, in the case of monetary items such as foreign exchange gains and losses
which are recognized directly in the statement of operations. Where these investments are interest-bearing, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the statement of operations. When these investments are
derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized directly in equity is recognized in the statement of operations.

Investments are recognized/derecognized on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the investments or they expire.

(r) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of investments in equity securities and other receivables

Investments in equity securities and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortized cost or are classified
as available-for-sale securities are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognized as follows:



| |  |  | For unquoted equity securities and current receivables that are carried at cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset
and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material. Impairment losses for current receivables are reversed if in a subsequent period the
amount of the impairment loss decreases. Impairment losses for equity securities are not reversed.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows, discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | If in a subsequent period the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the
impairment loss is reversed through the statement of operations. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the assets carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior
years.
| |  |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For available-for-sale securities, the cumulative loss that had been recognized directly in equity is removed from equity and is recognized in the statement of operations. The
amount of the cumulative loss that is recognized in the statement of operations is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that asset
previously recognized in the statement of operations.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Impairment losses recognized in the statement of operations in respect of available-for-sale equity securities are not reversed through the statement of operations. Any subsequent
increase in the fair value of such assets is recognized directly in equity.
| |  |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may
be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, any impairment loss previously recognized no longer exists or may have decreased:



| |  |  | property, plant and equipment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | programming library; and
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | goodwill.
| | - |  | ---------

If any such indication exists,
the assets recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill, intangible assets that are not yet available for use and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not
there is any indication of impairment.



| |  |  | Calculation of recoverable amount
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its 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 time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the
recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
| |  |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Recognition of impairment losses
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other
assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs to sell, or value in use, if determinable.
| |  |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Reversals of impairment losses
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favorable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An
impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.
| |  |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the assets carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. Reversals of
impairment losses are credited to the statement of operations in the year in which the reversals are recognized.
| |  |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(s) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and thereafter stated at amortized
cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(t) Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing services (business segment), or in providing
services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

Segment revenue, expenses, results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to that segment. Segment revenue, expenses,
assets and liabilities are determined before intra-group balances and intra-group transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process, except to the extent that such intra-group balances and transactions are between group entities
within a single segment.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets (both tangible
and intangible) that are expected to be used for more than one period.

Corporate items mainly comprise non-domestic television services
and film and program licensing business, financial and corporate assets, tax balances, interest-bearing borrowings and corporate and financing expenses.

(u) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or
amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value
of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible
obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(v) Employee benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued
in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group, except to the extent that they are included in the cost of property, plant and equipment not yet recognized as an expense.

(ii) Share-based payments

The Group has taken advantage of the transitional provisions of HKFRS 2 in respect of equity-settled share-based payments, as all of the Groups existing share options were granted to employees on or before November 7, 2002 and
there have not been any modifications to the terms or conditions of such grants since the effective date of HKFRS 2, January 1, 2005. Accordingly, no employee benefit cost or obligation was recognized in these financial statements.

The fair value of any future share options granted to employees is recognized as an employee cost with a corresponding
increase in a capital reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date using an option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting
conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the share options, the total estimated fair value of the share options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest.

During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any adjustment to the cumulative fair value
recognized in prior years is charged/credited to the statement of operations for the year of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. On vesting
date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that
relate to the market price of the Companys shares. The equity amount is recognized in the capital reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is transferred to the share premium account) or the option expires (when it is released
directly to the revenue reserve).

To the extent that any modifications to the terms and conditions on which the existing
share options were granted, including cancellations and settlements, the effects of any such modifications that increase the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangements or are otherwise beneficial to the employees, will be recognized in
accordance with the provisions of HKFRS 2.

(w) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date the fair value is remeasured. The gain or loss on
remeasurement to fair value is charged immediately to the statement of operations, except where the derivatives qualify for cash flow hedge accounting or hedge the net investment in a foreign operation, in which case recognition of any resultant
gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (see Note 2(x)).

(x) Hedging

(i) Cash flow hedges

Where a
derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk of a



F-17

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



committed future transaction, the effective portion of any gain or loss on remeasurement of the derivative financial instrument to fair value is recognized
directly in equity. The ineffective portion of any gain or loss is recognized immediately in the statement of operations.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the associated gain or loss is removed from equity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount
of the non-financial asset or liability.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a
financial asset or a financial liability, the associated gain or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the statement of operations in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects profit or loss
(such as when interest income or expense is recognized).

For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding
two policy statements, the associated gain or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the statement of operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the entity revokes designation of the hedge relationship but the
hedged forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is recognized in accordance with the above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to
take place, the cumulative unrealized gain or loss recognized in equity is recognized immediately in the statement of operations.

(ii)
Hedge of net investments in foreign operations

The portion of the gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value of an
instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized directly in equity until the disposal of the foreign operation, at which time the cumulative gain or loss recognized directly
in equity is recognized in the statement of operations. The ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of operations.

(y) Jointly controlled assets

Jointly controlled assets are assets of a joint venture over which the Group
has joint control with other venturers in accordance with contractual arrangements and through the joint control of which the Group has control over its share of future economic benefits earned from the assets.

The Groups share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers are recognized in the balance sheets and
classified according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses incurred directly in respect of its interests in jointly controlled assets are accounted for on an accrual basis. Income from the sale or use of the Groups share of the output of
the jointly controlled assets, together with its share of any expenses incurred by the joint ventures, are recognized in the statement of operations when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to or from
the Group.

3. Changes in accounting policies

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs that are effective
for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005.



F-18

The accounting policies of the Group after the adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs have been
summarized in Note 2. The following sets out information on the significant changes in accounting policies for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these financial statements.

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period (see Note 32).

(a) Employee share option scheme (HKFRS 2, Share-based payment)

In prior years, no amounts were recognized when employees (which term includes directors) were granted share options over shares in the Company. If the
employees chose to exercise the options, the nominal amount of share capital and share premium were credited only to the extent of the options exercise price receivable.

With effect from January 1, 2005, in order to comply with HKFRS 2, the Group has adopted a new policy for employee share options. Under the new
policy, the Group recognizes the fair value of such share options as an expense with a corresponding increase recognized in a capital reserve within equity. Further details of the new policy are set out in Note 2(v).

The Group has taken advantage of the transitional provisions set out in HKFRS 2, under which the new recognition and measurement policies have not been
applied to the Groups existing employee share options as at January 1, 2003, December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 as all such options were granted to employees on or before November 7,
2002.

No adjustments to the opening balances as at January 1, 2003 or the financial statements for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are required as all options were granted on or before November 7, 2002 and there have not been any modifications to the terms or conditions of any grants. Accordingly, HKFRS 2 has been applied prospectively
to new grants since January 1, 2005 or to unvested options existing as at January 1, 2005 of which terms and conditions have been modified. There were no share options granted or modifications to any existing share options during the year
ended December 31, 2005. Details of the employee share option scheme are set out in Note 23.

(b) Amortization of
positive and negative goodwill (HKFRS 3, Business combinations and HKAS 36, Impairment of assets)

(i) Amortization of goodwill

In prior years:



| |  |  | positive or negative goodwill which arose prior to January 1, 2001 was taken directly to reserves at the time it arose, and was not recognized in the statement of operations
until disposal or impairment of the acquired business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | positive goodwill which arose on or after January 1, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life and was subject to impairment testing when there were
indications of impairment; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | negative goodwill which arose on or after January 1, 2001 was amortized over the weighted average useful life of the depreciable/amortizable non-monetary assets acquired,
except to the extent it related to identified expected future losses as at the date of acquisition. In such cases it was recognized in the statement of operations as those expected losses were incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



With effect from January 1, 2005, in order to comply with HKFRS 3 and HKAS 36, the Group has
changed its accounting policies relating to goodwill. Under the new policy, the Group no longer amortizes positive goodwill but tests it at least annually for impairment. Also with effect from January 1, 2005 and in accordance with HKFRS 3, if
the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination exceeds the consideration paid (i.e. an amount arises which would have been known as negative goodwill under the previous accounting policy), the excess is recognized immediately in
the statement of operations as it arises. Further details of these new policies are set out in Note 2(c)(ii).

The new policy in respect of
the amortization of positive goodwill has been applied prospectively in accordance with the transitional arrangements under HKFRS 3.

The
Group has taken advantage of the transitional arrangements under HKFRS 3, in accordance with which goodwill which had previously been taken directly to reserves (i.e. goodwill which arose before January 1, 2001) will not be recognized in the
statement of operations on disposal or impairment of the acquired business, or under any other circumstances.

The change in policy
relating to positive and negative goodwill had no effect on the financial statements as there were no business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2005 and there was no negative goodwill deferred as at December 31, 2004.

(c) Financial instruments (HKAS 32, Financial instruments: Disclosure and presentation and HKAS 39, Financial
instruments: Recognition and measurement)

With effect from January 1, 2005, in order to comply with HKAS 32 and HKAS 39, the Group has
changed its accounting policies relating to financial instruments to those as set out in Notes 2(g), (q), (s), (w) and (x).

(i)
Investments in equity securities

In prior years, non-trading securities were stated in the balance sheet at fair value.
Changes in fair value were recognized in the investment revaluation reserve until the security was sold, collected, or otherwise disposed of, or until there was objective evidence that the security was impaired, at which time the relevant cumulative
gain or loss would be transferred from the investment revaluation reserve to the statement of operations.

Transfers from
the investment revaluation reserve to the statement of operations as a result of impairments would be reversed when the circumstances and events that led to the impairment ceased to exist and there was persuasive evidence that the new circumstances
and events would persist for the foreseeable future.

Trading securities were stated in the balance sheet at fair value,
with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations as they arose.

With effect from January 1, 2005,
and in accordance with the transitional provisions of HKAS 39, the Groups non-trading securities and trading securities are redesignated as available-for-sale securities and financial assets at fair value through the statement of operations,
respectively, and carried at fair value. There are no material adjustments arising from the adoption of the new policies for the Groups securities. Further details of the new policies are set out in Note 2(q).

(ii) Derivative financial instruments

In prior years, derivative financial instruments entered into by management to hedge the foreign currency risk of a committed future
transaction were recognized on an accruals basis with reference to the timing of recognition of the hedged transaction.

With effect from January 1, 2005, and in accordance with HKAS 39, all derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives held as hedging instruments in a cash
flow hedge are recognized in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective and until the hedged transaction occurs. Any other changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in the statement of operations. Further details of the new
policies are set out in Notes 2(w) and (x). The Group did not enter into any derivative financial instruments during 2005.

(d) Retranslation of goodwill on consolidation of a foreign operation (HKAS 21, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates)

In prior years, goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation was translated at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.

With effect from January 1, 2005, in order to comply with HKAS 21, the Group has changed its accounting policy relating to retranslation of goodwill. Under the new policy, any goodwill arising on the acquisition
of a foreign operation is treated as an asset of the foreign operation and is retranslated at exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date, together with the retranslation of the net assets of the foreign operation. Further details of the new
policy are set out in Note 2(n).

In accordance with the transitional provisions in HKAS 21, this new policy has not been adopted
retrospectively and is only applied to acquisitions occurring on or after January 1, 2005. As the Group has not acquired any new foreign operations since that date, the change in policy has had no impact on the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2005.

(e) Definition of related parties (HKAS 24, Related party disclosures)

As a result of the adoption of HKAS 24, Related party disclosures, the definition of related parties as disclosed in Note 2(p) has been expanded to
clarify that related parties include entities that are under the significant influence of a related party that is an individual (i.e. key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) and post-employment benefit
plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Group. The clarification of the definition of related parties has not resulted in any material changes to the previously reported disclosures
of related party transactions nor has it had any material effect on the disclosures made in the current period, as compared to those that would have been reported had Statement of Standard Accounting Practice (SSAP) 20, Related party
disclosures, still been in effect.

4. Service revenues

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of
the subsidiaries are set out in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements.

Service revenues comprise principally subscription and
related fees for Pay television and Internet services, Internet Protocol Point wholesale services and also include equipment rental, advertising income net of agency deductions, marketing contributions, channel service fees, channel distribution
fees, television relay service

5. Segment information

The Pay television segment includes operations related to the Pay television
subscription business, advertising, channel carriage, television relay service, program licensing, network maintenance, project management service, and miscellaneous Pay television related businesses.

The Internet and multimedia segment includes operations related to the Broadband Internet access service, dial-up business, portal subscription, mobile
content licensing, VoIP interconnection as well as other Internet access related businesses.

The Groups operating activities are
primarily undertaken in one geographical area, Hong Kong.

The Companys reportable segments are strategic business units. The Company
evaluates segment performance based on a number factors, of which the primary financial measures are business segment revenues and operating income/loss.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



In March 2003, the Government of Hong Kong SAR announced an increase in the Profits Tax rate
applicable to the Groups operations in Hong Kong from 16% to 17.5% starting from the 2003/04 year of assessment. This increase is taken into account in the preparation of the Groups 2003 financial statements. The provision for Hong Kong
Profits Tax for 2005 is calculated at 17.5% (2003 and 2004: 17.5%) of the estimated assessable profits for the year. Taxation for the overseas subsidiaries is charged at the appropriate current rate of taxation ruling in the relevant country.

In August, 2005, the Group reached a settlement agreement with the Inland Revenue Department on a tax dispute concerning a leveraged
leasing arrangement which expired in September 2003. Of the HK$17,000,000 provision made during 2004, HK$488,000 was reversed during 2005 to bring the net provision balance to HK$16,512,000, representing the Groups share of the final
settlement amount, net of the amount indemnified by Wharf Communications Limited as tax liability pertaining to events occurring up to the Groups Initial Public Offering on November 1, 1999. The balance was fully settled as at
December 31, 2005.

The differences between the profits tax rate in Hong Kong and the Groups effective tax rate were as follows
for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

10. Earnings per share

(a) Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the net profit of HK$220,458,000, HK$339,659,000 and HK$527,132,000 for each of the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively and the weighted average of 2,019,234,400, 2,019,234,400 and 2,019,234,400 ordinary shares outstanding for each respective year.

(b) Diluted earnings per share

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the net profit of HK$220,458,000, HK$339,659,000 and HK$527,132,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively and the weighted average of
2,019,234,400, 2,019,234,400 and 2,019,234,400 ordinary shares outstanding for each respective year after adjusting for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

All of the Companys share options did not have intrinsic value throughout 2003, 2004 and 2005. Accordingly this has no dilutive effect on the
calculation of diluted earnings per share in all periods presented.

Basic and diluted earnings per ADS is calculated on the same basis
based on 20 ordinary shares per ADS.

(b) Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Share premium

The
application of the share premium account is governed by Section 48B of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

(ii) Special capital
reserve

The special capital reserve is non-distributable and it should be applied for the same purpose as the share premium
account. In 2004, the issued share capital of a subsidiary under the Group was reduced (Capital Reduction) and the credit arising from the Capital Reduction was applied to eliminate the accumulated losses standing in the statement of
operations of that subsidiary as at September 30, 2004.

An undertaking was given to the Court by the subsidiary in
connection with the Capital Reduction (the Undertaking). Pursuant to the Undertaking, any future recoveries or reversals of provisions in respect of: 1) assets owned or held under finance and operating leases against which charges
to depreciation were made as at September 30, 2004; and 2) provisions made by the subsidiary in respect of certain assets held by the subsidiary as at September 30, 2004; collectively the relevant assets (relevant assets)
to the extent that such recoveries exceed the written down amounts of the relevant assets, up to an aggregate amount of HK$1,958,524,266, will be credited to a special capital reserve. While any debt or liability of, or claim against, the
subsidiary at the date of the Capital Reduction remains outstanding and the person entitled to the benefit thereof has not agreed otherwise, the special capital reserve shall not be treated as realized profits. The subsidiary shall be at
liberty to apply the special capital reserve for the same purposes as a share premium account may be applied.

The amount to
be credited to the special capital reserve is subject to a limit (Limit), which was HK$1,958,524,266 as at the date of the capital reduction. The Limit may be reduced by the amount of any increase in the issued share capital or in
the share premium account of the subsidiary resulting from an issue of shares for cash or other consideration or upon a capitalization of distributable reserves. The subsidiary shall be at liberty to transfer the amount so reduced to the
general reserves of the subsidiary and the same shall become available for distribution. The Limit may also be reduced after the disposal or other realization of any of the relevant assets by the amount of the charge to depreciation or
provision made in relation to such asset as at September 30, 2004 less such amount as is credited to the special capital reserve as a result of such disposal or realization.

In the event that the amount standing to the credit of the special capital reserve exceeds the Limit, the subsidiary shall be at liberty
to transfer the amount of any such excess to the general reserves of the subsidiary, which shall become available for distribution.

As at December 31, 2005, the Limit of the special capital reserve, as reduced by HK$508,033,384 (2004: HK$916,109) related to recoveries and reversals of provisions of the relevant assets, was HK$1,449,574,773 (2004: HK$1,957,608,157),
and the amount standing to the credit of the special capital reserve was HK$7,923,811 (2004: HK$3,344,694).

The Capital
Reduction has no impact on the consolidated revenue reserve.

(iii) Exchange reserve

The exchange reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign
operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2(n).

25. Financial risk management objectives and policies

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and
currency risks arises in the normal course of the Groups business. These risks are limited by the Groups financial management policies and practices described below:

(a) Credit risk

The
Groups credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a defined credit policy in place with general credit terms ranging from 0 to 60 days. Full provisions for bad and doubtful debts have been made for all
subscription fees overdue for more than 90 days and airtime sales overdue for more than 150 days. The exposure to credit risks is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk from customers. Subscription
revenue from customers is settled mainly in cash or via major credit cards.

(b) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit
facilities. The Groups objective is to maintain a balance between the continuity of funding and the flexibility through use of bank overdrafts and bank loans. In addition, banking facilities have been put in place for contingency purposes.

(c) Interest rate risk

At December 31, 2005, the Group had short-term deposits with bank and other financial institutions amounting to HK$320,610,000 (2004: Nil), with original maturities ranging from 4 to 6 days at market interest

rates. Apart from the foregoing, the Group has no other significant income-generating financial assets or interest-bearing financial liabilities. The
Groups revenue, expenses and cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

Effective interest rates and repricing analysis

(d) Foreign currency risk

(i) Forecast transactions

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily through programming licensing activities whereby a substantial portion of our programming costs on overseas content is settled in United States dollars. In view of the continued
support from the Hong Kong SAR Government to maintain the peg of the Hong Kong dollar to the United States dollar, management does not expect that there will be any significant currency risk associated with programming cost commitments denominated
in United States dollars. Management also enters into forward exchange contracts from time to time to hedge forecast transactions. At December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding foreign exchange contracts that were recognized as derivative
financial instruments in the financial statements.

(ii) Recognized assets and liabilities

In respect of trade receivables and payables held in currencies other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate,
the Group manages the net exposure by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates where necessary to address short-term imbalances.

26. Fair value of financial instruments

All financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially
different from their fair values as at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The fair value of the unlisted available-for-sale equity
securities is estimated based on a combination of valuation techniques including use of recent arms length market transactions of the underlying securities and references to the fund managers estimated fair value adjusted for specific
circumstances of the investment.

(a) Significant leasing arrangements

The Group leases a number of premises under operating leases for use as office premises, car parks, warehouses, district centres, retail shops, remote
camera sites, multipoint microwave distribution system transmission sites and hub sites. The terms of the leases vary and may be renewable on a monthly basis or run for an initial period of three to fifteen years, with an option to renew the lease
after that date at which time all terms are renegotiated. Lease payments are usually adjusted every two to three years to reflect market rentals. None of the leases includes contingent rentals.

Some of the leased properties have been sublet by the Group under operating leases. The terms of the subleases vary and may be renewable on a monthly
basis or run for an initial period of three years, with an option to renew the lease after that date at which time all terms are renegotiated.

The Group leases out cable modem equipment and decoders to subscribers under operating leases which are renewable on a monthly basis. None of the leases includes contingent rentals.

|(d) | License agreements
|--- | ------------------

The Group is required to pay license
fees to the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) each year for the provision of certain services. At December 31, 2005, these comprise mainly:

(i) an annual fixed domestic pay television program service license of HK$1,371,000 plus a fee of HK$4 for every subscriber to the
domestic pay television program service provided under the license;

(ii) an annual fixed telecommunication network services
(FTNS) license fee of HK$1,000,000 plus a fee of HK$700 for every 100 customer connections and spectrum utilization annual fee based on a variable fee for every 1 kHz or part thereof of spectrum assigned;

(iii) an annual fixed carrier (restricted) license fee of HK$100,000 plus a fee of HK$700 for every 100 customer connections and spectrum
utilization annual fee based on a variable fee for every 1 kHz or part thereof of spectrum assigned; and

(iv) a satellite
master antenna television (SMATV) annual license fee of HK$750 plus outlet fee of HK$700 for every 100 outlet points or part thereof.

The total amounts of license fees paid to the Hong Kong SAR Government for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 were HK$12,730,473, HK$12,997,681 and HK$17,975,427 respectively.

The Group has also entered into program license agreements with content providers and has commitments to pay amounts under such license agreements, which
have been negotiated on normal commercial terms. The related program costs are recognized in the period in which they are incurred and accounted for in accordance with Note 2(e).

(e) Other commitments

During 2004, the Group entered into a forward exchange contract with a financial institution to hedge certain firmly committed, non-Hong Kong dollar commercial transactions in 2005. The Group had, as at December 31, 2004, an
outstanding forward contract to buy foreign currency with a notional principal value of HK$101 million equivalent.

The forward contract
has not been designated as a hedging instrument. The change in the fair value of the forward contract is insignificant. There were no similar commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2005.

(f) Contingent liabilities

As of December 31, 2005, there were contingent liabilities in respect of the following:

(i) Guarantees,
indemnities and letters of awareness to banks totaling HK$616 million (2004: HK$662 million) in respect of overdraft and guarantee facilities given by those banks to the subsidiaries. Of this amount, at December 31, 2005,
HK$311 million (2004: HK$546 million) was utilized by the subsidiaries.

(ii) A litigation was lodged by the
Secretary of Justice on behalf of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the Government) against Hong Kong Cable Television Limited (HKC), a subsidiary of the Group, for the settlement of subscription
royalty of HK$1,237,190 which remained outstanding, and interest accrued on the said outstanding amount. The outstanding subscription royalty of HK$1,237,190 arose from a dispute between the Government and HKC over the interpretation of the
calculation basis of HKCs 2000 subscription royalty payable. If HKC is found to be liable, HKCs liability for the amount claimed plus interest accrued up to December 31, 2005 may amount up to HK$1,489,804. The management is of the
view, based on legal advice, that it is not probable that the court will find a case against HKC. No provision has accordingly been made in this respect.

Total remuneration included in staff costs (See Note 6).

30. Non-adjusting post balance sheet event

After the balance sheet date the Directors proposed a final
dividend. Further details are disclosed in Note 9.

31. Accounting estimates and judgements

Management considers the key source of estimation uncertainty lies in
the recognition of deferred tax assets from unused tax losses. As explained in Note 2(k), all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized, are recognized.

During the second half of 2005, additional deferred tax assets from unused tax losses of a subsidiary were recognized pursuant to a change
in circumstances including, among others, stabilization of the subsidiarys operating environment and finalization of an organization restructure plan, that reduced uncertainties surrounding the subsidiarys future taxable profits.
Accordingly, managements judgement about the realizability of the tax losses changed to conclude it appropriate for the subject subsidiary to recognize all its tax losses at December 31, 2005 as deferred tax assets.

In addition to the tax charge to future years statement of operations upon utilization of the deferred tax assets, it is possible that adverse
changes to the operating environment or the Groups organization structure could cause a future write-down of the deferred tax assets recognized.

Apart from deferred tax assets, management also makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of other assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Notes 2(d), 2(e)(i), 2(f), 2(g), 2(q), and Note 26 contain information about the assumptions and risk factors relating to useful lives of property, plant and equipment, net realizable value of commissioned programs, impairment
provisions for property, plant and equipment, inventories, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale equity instruments.

On useful
lives of property, plant and equipment, these are estimated at the time such assets are acquired and are based on historical experience with similar assets, also taking into account the anticipated technological or industrial changes in order to
determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. If these changes were to occur more rapidly than anticipated or in a different form than anticipated, the useful lives assigned to these assets may need to be
shortened, resulting in the recognition of increased depreciation expense in future periods.

Net realizable value of commissioned programs and films are estimated based on their projected future
revenue to be derived from all applicable territories and windows less cost to sell, taking into account historical performances of films and programs with comparable budgets, casts, or other relevant qualities. Impairment provisions are made for
carrying costs that are in excess of the expected future revenue to be generated by these programs and films. Films in progress are stated at cost less any impairment provisions, taking into account the project status, and estimated realizable
value. If revenue actually generated were to fall short of our forecasts, or there are changes in total projected ultimate gross revenues, amortization may need to be increased, or impairment provision may need to be made to reduce the carrying
value of individual program or film to its realizable amount.

Property, plant and equipment, inventories, and various financial
instruments including loans and receivables and available-for-sale equity instruments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may exceed the realizable value. If any such
indication exists, the assets realizable value is estimated and an impairment loss is recognized.

The value of property, plant and
equipment and inventories in use represent the amount that these assets are expected to earn based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. The value of loans and receivables are calculated based on estimated future cash flows. The fair value of
available-for-sale equity instruments are estimated based on a combination of valuation techniques including use of recent arms length market transactions of the underlying securities and references to the fund managers estimated fair
value as adjusted for specific circumstances of the investment including recent fund raising results and financial outlook.

Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

32. Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the annual accounting period ended December 31, 2005

Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the HKICPA has issued the following amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet
effective for the accounting period ended December 31, 2005 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements:

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



In addition, the Hong Kong Companies (Amendment) Ordinance 2005 came into effect on December 1,
2005 and would be first applicable to the Groups financial statements for the period beginning January 1, 2006.

The Group is in
the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of the applicable amendments, new
standards and interpretations is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Groups results of operations and financial position.

33. Parent and ultimate holding company

The Directors consider the parent and the ultimate holding company at
December 31, 2005 to be Wharf Communications Limited and The Wharf (Holdings) Limited, respectively, both of which are incorporated in Hong Kong. The Wharf (Holdings) Limited produces financial statements available for public use.

34. Approval of financial statements

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the
directors on June 26, 2006.

The Companys 2004 financial statements included in the Form 20-F filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission were approved by the directors on June 28, 2005 and reflected all material subsequent events occurring up to June 28, 2005 including the Groups latest negotiations with the Inland Revenue Department
and other associated events as disclosed in Note 7 to the 2004 financial statements.

Such subsequent events have been accounted for in the
Companys 2005 financial statements prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. No updates have been made to the Companys 2004 statutory financial statements which were presented in the Companys
Annual General Meeting held in May 2005.

35. Significant differences between HK GAAP and US GAAP

The Groups accounting policies conform
with HK GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from US GAAP. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented below.

(a) Deferred pre-maturity and franchise costs

Under HK GAAP, all pre-maturity costs incurred during the pre-maturity period of the Groups cable television operations and all pre-operating costs incurred before the launch of the Groups cable television
operations on October 31, 1993 are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Under US GAAP, certain
pre-maturity and franchise costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the initial subscription television broadcasting license which expired on May 31, 2005. On June 1, 2005, our franchise was
renewed for a further period of 12 years until May 31, 2017. The pre-maturity period began with the first earned subscriber revenue on October 31, 1993 and was to continue until the earlier of the attainment of a predetermined subscriber
level and December 31, 1996. The pre-maturity period ended on November 30, 1996 when the predetermined subscriber level was attained. For US GAAP purposes, an adjustment has been made to reflect the amortization of certain
pre-maturity and franchise costs that have been written off under HK GAAP that were allowed to be capitalized under US GAAP.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



Management has evaluated the amortization periods of pre-maturity and franchise costs and determined
that no events or circumstances warrant a revision to the estimates of useful lives. The aggregate amortization expense was HK$37,360,000 (2004 and 2003: HK$89,686,000 and HK$90,229,000 respectively) for the year. All deferred pre-maturity and
franchise costs were fully amortized as at December 31, 2005.

(b) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Groups share of the fair value of the identifiable
assets and liabilities acquired.

Under HK GAAP, goodwill is accounted for as follows:

Prior to January 1, 2005:



| |  |  | For acquisitions before January 1, 2001, positive goodwill was eliminated against reserves and was reduced by impairment losses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For acquisitions on or after January 1, 2001, positive goodwill was amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Goodwill was stated in the
consolidated balance sheet at cost less any accumulated amortization and any impairment losses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Group did not make any acquisitions since January 1, 2001 that would give rise to positive goodwill subject to amortization.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With effect from January 1, 2005:



| |  |  | The Group no longer amortizes positive goodwill on new acquisitions but tests it at least annually for impairment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | As the Groups positive goodwill had previously been taken to reserves, such goodwill was not restated in the consolidated balance sheet;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In addition, no attributable amount of positive goodwill previously taken to reserves will be included in the calculation of profit or loss on the disposal or impairment of the
acquired business or under any other circumstances.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under US GAAP, prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill arising from
the application of the purchase method of accounting was capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 12 years from the relevant acquisition date. Upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets with effect from January 1, 2002, goodwill is assigned to the relevant reporting units and a transitional impairment test was conducted by reference to the
carrying value of each reporting unit and their respective fair value at January 1, 2002. Thereafter, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization, but the recorded value is subject to an annual assessment for impairment using a
fair-value-based approach. An impairment loss is recorded if the recorded goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. All reporting units to which goodwill is assigned are tested for impairment and no impairment loss was identified as of
January 1, 2002, December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005.

(c) Impairment of
long-lived assets

Under HK GAAP, certain long-lived assets were reviewed for impairment and a provision of HK$180 million was recorded
against those assets in 1995. Under US GAAP, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may
not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based

For the year
ended December 31, 2005



on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted expected
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Group recognizes an impairment loss. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles that management expects to hold and use are based
on the fair value of the asset. The fair value of an asset is the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Accordingly, under US GAAP, the provision did not meet the criteria for recognition of an impairment write-down and was reversed, with depreciation
expense recognized on the reversed amount. Such long-lived assets were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2004.

(d) Deferred taxation

Under HK GAAP, Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 12 (revised) (SSAP 12 (revised)) was
effective for all accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2003. SSAP 12 (revised) was superseded by Hong Kong Accounting Standard 12 (HKAS 12) for all accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. Both
SSAP 12 (revised) and HKAS 12 are modelled on International Accounting Standards 12 which, in all material respects as they are relevant to the Group, is similar to SFAS 109, Accounting for income taxes. Both SSAP 12 (revised) and HKAS
12 require full recognition of all deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets to the extent there is sufficient future taxable profit against which the asset can be utilized.

Under US GAAP, a provision is made for all deferred taxes as they arise, and a valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when
realization of such amounts does not meet the criterion of more likely than not. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is recorded if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized through recovery of taxes previously paid and/or future taxable income. The allowance is subject to ongoing adjustments based on changes in circumstances that affect the Groups assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax
assets. The Company has considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets to the extent such assets can be realized through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and projected future taxable income in making this
assessment.

The following table shows the principal items included in deferred income taxes under US GAAP:



|                                        |  |           |   |  |          |

During 2004 and 2005, additional deferred tax assets for tax losses were recognized pursuant to a
change in circumstances that caused a change in judgment about the realizability of operating loss carryforwards incurred by a subsidiary. This change in judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax assets in future years has given rise to
reductions of HK$171.1 million and HK$212.3 million to the relevant subsidiarys balance of valuation allowance at the beginning of 2004 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the Group had operating loss carryforwards of HK$5,346.3
million which do not expire.

The valuation allowance at January 1, 2003 was HK$874.9 million. The valuation allowance increased by
HK$65.0 million during 2003 and decreased by HK$219.1 million and HK$281.6 million during 2004 and 2005 respectively.

(e)
Installation fees, installation costs and subscription fees

Under HK GAAP, installation fees relating to the broadband Internet access
services are recognized upon completion of the installation to the extent that they do not exceed the direct selling costs incurred. The incremental direct costs (excluding selling costs) incurred that are associated with the installation are
capitalized and amortized over the estimated customer service period.

Under US GAAP, installation fees relating to the broadband
Internet access services and the related incremental direct costs (excluding selling costs) up to, but not exceeding, the amount of the installation revenue, are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer service
period, which is four years as of December 31, 2005, with respect to customers under monthly service contracts, or over the contract period, with respect to customers under 12 to 18 month service contracts. The excess of incremental direct
costs (excluding selling costs) over the related installation fees, to the extent that they are recoverable from future contractual revenues, are deferred and amortized over the contract period.

The US GAAP adjustments for installation costs represent reversal of incremental direct costs for the year capitalized under HK GAAP not permitted
to be capitalized under US GAAP to the extent that they were not recoverable from future contractual revenues, net of the current years amortization of previously deferred incremental direct costs over the estimated customer service
period or the contract period, as appropriate.

Under HK GAAP, where packaged service fees comprise a number of elements and the fees can
be allocated on a reasonable basis into separate elements, revenue is recognized in accordance with the accounting policies applicable for the respective elements. Where packaged service fees cannot be allocated into individual elements, the fees
are deferred and recognized over the term of the service period.

Under US GAAP, consideration received for components of enforceable
contracts involving multiple element arrangements are accounted for as separate units only if the individual components meet all the criteria for separation accounting, and the arrangement consideration can be allocated to the individual components
based on the fair value of the respective components. Otherwise, the entire arrangement consideration is accounted for as one single unit, and is deferred and recognized over the contract period. Installation fees in certain multiple element
arrangements did not meet all the criteria for separation accounting. Accordingly, revenue that was separated and recorded as installation fees upon the completion of the installation under HK GAAP was reversed, giving rise to a corresponding
increase in subscription fees to be recognized over the term of the contract.

The US GAAP adjustments for installation fees represent
the reversal of installation fees recognized under HK GAAP at the time of installation which do not meet all the criteria for separation provision of EITF 00-21. Accordingly, such installation fees are recognized over the estimated customer service
period or the contract period, as appropriate, under US GAAP. The adjustment also includes the current years amortization of

installation fees deferred under US GAAP in previous years over the contract period. The US GAAP adjustments for subscription fees represent the
portion of current years amortization of considerations received in the current and/or prior years from multiple element arrangements not meeting all criteria for separation accounting which are considered subscription fees under US GAAP
rather than installation fees under HK GAAP.

(f) Share option scheme

Under the Companys share option scheme, the Company may grant options to employees to purchase the ordinary shares of the Company for up to
10 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time, excluding for this purpose shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the share option scheme.

During the year ended December 31, 2000, options to purchase a total of 22,910,000 ordinary shares at exercise price of HK$10.49 per share were
granted by the Company to eligible employees. 20 per cent of the options was to vest on or after April 1, 2001, 40 per cent on or after the date on which it is announced that the Companys audited consolidated revenue in the
preceding financial year has exceeded HK$2,300 million and the remaining 40 per cent on or after the date on which it is announced that the Companys audited consolidated revenue in the preceding financial year has exceeded HK$3,900
million. The options, to the extent not exercised, will expire on December 31, 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2001,
options to purchase a total of 50,034,000 ordinary shares at exercise price of HK$3.30 per share were granted by the Company to eligible employees. These options were granted with the exercise price lower than the market price of the Companys
stock at the time of grant. Of the options granted, options to purchase a total of 34,813,000 ordinary shares (the former series) vested on or after July 1, 2002 (50%) and April 1, 2003 (50%) respectively while the
remaining options (the latter series) vested on or after July 1, 2002 (30%), July 1, 2003 (30%) and July 1, 2004 (40%) respectively. To the extent not exercised, the options expired on December 31, 2003 for
the former series and expired on December 31, 2005 for the latter series.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, options to
purchase a total of 380,000 ordinary shares at exercise price of HK$3.30 per share were granted by the Company to an eligible employee. On the grant date, the exercise price exceeded the market price of the Companys stock. 50 per cent of
the options vested on or after January 1, 2004 and 50 per cent vested on or after January 1, 2005. To the extent not exercised, the options expired on December 31, 2005.

|Weighted average remaining contractual life |  | 3.76 years         |  | 2.81 years         |  | 2.4 years 

Prior to January 1, 2005, under HK GAAP, no accounting entry was made upon the granting of
share options to employees.

With effect from January 1, 2005, under HK GAAP, the Group recognizes (i) the fair value of share
options granted on or after November 7, 2002 as an expense with a corresponding increase in a capital reserve within equity; and (ii) any modifications to the terms and conditions of share options existing as of January 1, 2005 that
will increase the total fair value or are beneficial to the employees as expenses.

As the Groups existing share options were granted
to employees on or before November 7, 2002 and there have not been any modifications to the terms or conditions of such grants since January 1, 2005, no share option related compensation expense was recorded in the HK GAAP financial
statements in each of the periods presented.

Under US GAAP, the Group applies the intrinsic value-based method for share options
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations to account for its fixed plan stock options. Under this method, compensation
expense is recognized and amortized over the vesting period of the options concerned to the extent that the fair value of the equity instruments exceeds the exercise price of the options granted at a defined measurement date. The measurement date is
the first date on which both the number of shares that an individual employee is entitled to receive and the exercise price are known. Other than options granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2000 which require the achievement
of specific hurdles by the Company prior to their vesting and accordingly, need to be accounted for utilizing variable plan accounting, all other options granted by the Company are accounted for utilizing fixed plan accounting under US GAAP.

No compensation expenses in respect of variable plan stock options has been recognised as the fair value of the Companys shares has
been less than the exercise price for the years presented.

During the year
ended December 31, 2004, the management of the Company did not expect the performance criterion of achieving HK$3,900 million of audited consolidated revenue would be attainable for the final 40 per cent of the stock options granted during
the year ended December 31, 2000 to vest before they expire on December 31, 2009. Hence, the cumulative pro-forma compensation cost based on the fair value model in respect of such stock options up to December 31, 2003 was reversed
during 2004.

(g) Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment. This statement is a revision to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which
an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement requires an entity to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period), in exchange for the award. The grant-date fair

value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Under a new US Securities and Exchange Commission rule, a company may elect to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R at the beginning of their first annual period beginning
after June 15, 2005. Consequently, the Group has elected to defer adoption of SFAS 123R until January 1, 2006. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 will no longer be an alternative to financial statement
recognition. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method and although the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Standard, it is expected that the adoption will not have a significant impact on the results
of operations and financial position.

The pro forma results disclosed are not necessary indicative of what the impact of SFAS 123R will be
upon adoption.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29. SFAS 153 addresses the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. This statement also eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar
productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. This statement will be effective for the Group for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring on or after January 1, 2006. The Group does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 153 will have a significant effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation 47 Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligation (FIN 47) which requires conditional asset retirement obligations to be recognized if a legal obligation exists to perform asset retirement activities and a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the obligation can be
made. FIN 47 also provide guidance as to when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Group adopted the provisions of FIN 47 in its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005. No conditional asset retirement obligations were recognized because, as disclosed in Note 2(d) to the financial statements, management cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of asset retirement obligations with respect to
the Groups network as sufficient information was not available.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections. SFAS 154 establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to a newly adopted
accounting principle. This statement will be effective for all accounting changes and any error corrections occurring after January 1, 2006.

(h) Classification of items in the statement of operations

Under HK GAAP, profit or loss on disposal of
long-lived assets is disclosed as a separate item after profit from operations in the consolidated statement of operations as management considers that any such profit or loss is incidental to the core operations of the Group.

Under US GAAP, profit or loss on disposal of long-lived assets is included in the determination of profit from operations in the consolidated
statement of operations.
