Discontinued operations (22.9) (6.3) to (10.9) 72 to 52
*Discontinued operations relate to the Food Division that was discontinued during the year.
The loss and headline loss per share decreased mainly due to the increase in the weighted
average shares, on the back of the rights issues of 1 320 000 000 shares that was concluded
in February 2019, which diluted the loss and headline loss per share.
Using the same weighted average shares as in the prior year, the loss per share would have
increased to between 44.0 cents and 51.0 cents, representing an increase of between 26%
and 46%.
Headline loss per share, using the same weighted average shares as in the prior year, would
have been between 19.9 cents and 25.1 cents, representing a decrease of between 22% and
2%.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by the auditor of the Company. The results for the financial year ended 29
February 2020 are expected to be released on SENS by no later than 18 September 2020.
