11. Dividends
12. Earnings per share
(a) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share of the Group is calculated by dividing the promt attributable to ordinary equity holders
of the Company for the mnancial year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
mnancial year.
(b) Diluted earnings per share
For the diluted earnings per share calculation, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is
adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The dilutive potential ordinary shares for
the Group are the warrants issued.
For the share warrants issued, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been
acquired at fair value (determined as the average share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary
value of the subscriptions rights attached to outstanding warrants. The number of shares calculated as above
is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the warrants.
The difference is added to the denominator as an issue of ordinary shares for no consideration. This calculation
serves to determine the “bonus” element in the ordinary shares outstanding for the purpose of computing the
dilution. No adjustment is made to promt for the mnancial year for the warrants calculation.
