EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the six months ended
30 June 2005 is based on the net profit attributable to equity holders
of the parent for the six months ended 30 June 2005 of approximately
RMB591,253,000, and the weighted average of approximately 9,412,073,189
shares in issue during the period as adjusted to reflect the new issue
of 382,592,727 H shares on the exercise of the over-allotment options.

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the six months ended
30 June 2004 is based on the net profit attributable to equity holders
of the parent for the six months ended 30 June 2004 of approximately
RMB788,352,000, and the number of shares in issue during the period on
the assumption that the 6,500,000,000 shares issued as at 30 September
2004, the date of incorporation of the Company, had been in issue
throughout the period.

Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2005 and
30 June 2004 has not been calculated because no diluting events existed
during these periods.
