Due to there being a loss during each period under review, the share options are anti-dilutive and therefore no diluted loss per share has been presented.

   5.   NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE 

The "basic" net asset value per share figures are calculated on the basis of the net assets attributable to equity shareholders divided by the number of ordinary shares in issue at the relevant dates.

As the exercise price of the share options is above the "basic" net asset value per share the share options are anti-dilutive and therefore a "fully diluted" net assets per share has not been calculated.
