Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. 
 
Diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS but with the further
adjustment to the weighted average shares in issue to reflect the effect of
all potentially dilutive share options. The number of potentially dilutive
share options is derived from the number of share options and awards granted
to employees where the exercise price is less than the average market price of
the Company's ordinary shares during the period.

10.    Contingent liabilities 
 
The Directors are not aware of any contingent liabilities faced by the Group
as at 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: £nil, 31 December 2016: £nil). 
 
11.    Share capital 
 
Share capital as at 30 June 2017 amounted to £10,606,000 (30 June 2016:
£10,499,000, 31 December 2016: £10,524,000). During the period the Group
issued 1,643,393 shares in respect of exercised share options, LTIPS and the
Deferred Share Bonus Scheme. 
 
12.    Going concern 
 
In carrying out their duties in respect of going concern, the Directors have
carried out a review of the Group's financial position and cash flow forecasts
for the next 12 months. These have been based on a comprehensive review of
revenue, expenditure and cash flows, taking into account specific business
risks and the current economic environment. 
 
With regards to the Group's financial position, it had cash and cash
equivalents at 30 June 2017 of £55.2 million and a five-year, £30 million,
multi-currency, revolving credit facility, obtained in December 2014, with an
accordion option under which AMS can request up to an additional £20 million
on the same terms.  The credit facility is provided jointly by HSBC and The
Royal Bank of Scotland PLC. It is unsecured on the assets of the Group and is
currently undrawn. 
 
While the current economic environment is uncertain, AMS operates in markets
whose demographics are favourable, underpinned by an increasing need for
products to treat chronic and acute wounds. Consequently, market growth is
predicted. The Group has a number of long-term contracts with customers across
different geographic regions and also with substantial financial resources,
ranging from government agencies through to global healthcare companies. 
 
After taking the above into consideration, the Directors have reached the
conclusion that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks in the
current economic environment. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. 
 
13.    Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
Further detail concerning the principal risks affecting the business
activities of the Group is detailed on pages 40 and 41 of the Annual Report
and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016. There have been no
significant changes since the last annual report. 
 
14.    Seasonality of sales 
 
There are no significant factors affecting the seasonality of sales between
the first and second half of the year. 
 
15.    Events after the balance sheet date 
 
There has been no material event subsequent to the end of the interim
reporting period ended 30 June 2017. 
 
16.    Copies of the interim results 
 
Copies of the interim results can be obtained from the Group's registered
office at Premier Park, 33 Road One, Winsford Industrial Estate, Winsford,
Cheshire, CW7 3RT and are available on our website "www.admedsol.com".
