Basic and diluted loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share during the periods presented as the effects of the Company’s common stock equivalents are antidilutive and thus not included in the calculation.
