CHAIR MAN'S STATEMENT
主席報告
RESULTS FOR 1989
I wish to report that the Company's bus operating profits for the financial
year ended 31st December, 1989,
amounted to $255.5 million. In
addition, there is an extraordinary item
of $9.9 million (1988 Nil)
www
representing profit arising from the
disposal of the premises previously
used as the Company's medical centre.
The total profits attributable to
Shareholders therefore amounted to
$265.4 million (1988-$261.3 million,
after the transfer of $64.8 million
representing the whole of the balance
transferred from the Development
Fund). Earnings per share for the year before the extraordinary item were 63 cents (1988: 65 cents).
The bus operating profit of $255.5 million for the year falls short of the permitted return by $24.2 million. Together with the shortfall of $1.9
million brought forward from the
previous year, the accumulated
shortfall amounts to $26.1 million
which is recoverable from the future
balance of the Development Fund.
DIVIDEND
At the forthcoming Ordinary Yearly
Meeting, the Directors will recommend
the payment of a final dividend of 35 cents per share for the year ended
31st December, 1989 (1988:32 cents per share). An interim dividend of 13 cents per share was paid on 13th October, 1989 (1988:13 cents per share), therefore the dividends for the year will amount to 48 cents per share totalling $193.7 million.

日止之財政年度,本公司經營巴士之盈利

原用作本公司醫療中心之物業帶來九百
九十萬元之非經常性收益(一九八八年
