7.             Loss per share 
 
Loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the year. 
 
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. Only those outstanding options that have an exercise price below the
average market share price in the year have been included. The weighted
average number of ordinary shares is calculated as follows: 
 
                                                                               
                                                               2015    2014    
                                                               '000    '000    
 Issued ordinary shares                                                        
 Start of year                                                 55,145  46,949  
 Effect of shares issued during the year                       2,029   2,290   
 Weighted average basic and diluted number of shares for year  57,174  49,239  
                                                                                 
                                                                                     
 
 
For the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2014, the issue of additional shares
on exercise of outstanding share options would decrease the basic loss per
share and there is therefore no dilutive effect. Loss per share excluding was
3.49p (2014:  4.94p).
