Earnings (loss) per share |
The
basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing
the profit for the financial year attributable to shareholders
by the weighted average number of shares in issue after
deducting the company’s shares held by employee
share ownership trusts.
In calculating the diluted earnings (loss) per share,
share options outstanding and other potential ordinary
shares have been taken into account.
The weighted average number of shares in the years were:
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Basic |
6,525 |
|
6,488 |
|
6,442 |
|
| Dilutive ordinary shares from
share options outstanding and shares held in trust |
96 |
|

150 |
|
|
| Total diluted |
6,621 |
|
6,642 |
|
6,592 |
|
|
|
| |
Options
over 39 million shares were excluded from the calculation
of the total diluted number of shares in the year ended
31 March 2001 because to do so would have been antidilutive.
The items in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share
before goodwill amortisation and exceptional items in
the years were: |
