Central pier development costs

HKF

These include costs amounting to HK$174,975,000

(1996 : HK$173,953,000) reimbursed to the Hong Kong

Government for additional costs incurred on the Central

Reclamation at the request of the Group so as to enable the Group to undertake commercial and residential

development above the re-provided ferry piers subject to

the satisfactory outcome of negotiations with the

Government. At 31 December 1997, further costs

committed by the Group which have not been provided

for amounted to HK$2.2 million (1996: HK$2 million).

Central pier development costs also include the related

professional fees paid amounting to HK$81,271,000

(1996 HK$74,285,000).

The Group is still negotiating with the Government on the

land premium and the detailed terms of the proposal in

respect of this project. The directors are optimistic that

final agreement will be reached in the near future. These

costs will be capitalised as part of the cost of

development in that event or written off if the proposed development is aborted.
