8 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period
attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number
of Ordinary Shares in issue during the period excluding ordinary shares
purchased by the company and held as treasury shares.
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares
in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential Ordinary
Shares. These represent share options granted to employees where the exercise
price is less than the average market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares
during the period.
