Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

31st March 2015

12 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE (continued)

Diluted

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has only
one category of dilutive potential ordinary share: share option. Share options had been fully exercised
or lapsed in prior years. There were no dilutive potential ordinary shares during the years ended 31st
March 2015 and 2014. Therefore, the diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per
share.
