Diluted earnings  
   
  Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Company for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted earnings per share. The convertible bonds could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, but were anti-dilutive for the current year. Potential ordinary shares are only treated as dilutive when their conversion would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share.
