| Notes: | |
| (1) | The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year and on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the relevant years. The diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company and the weighted average number of shares in issue for the effects of all dilutive potential shares. For the years ended 31st December, 2007, 31st December, 2004 and 31st December, 2003, diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share as there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding. |
