EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company of HK$1,031,411,000 (2013: HK$293,437,000) and 356,273,883 (2013: 356,273,883) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

There were no dilutive potential ordinary shares in existence during the years 2014 and 2013, therefore diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share for both years.
