   9    EARNING PER SHARE 

The calculation of the basic earning per share is based on the profits attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

The calculation of diluted earning per share is based on the basic earning per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares and the post tax effect of dividends and/or interest, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive options and other dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Reconciliation of the earning and weighted average number of share used in the calculations are set out below.
