As a result, restructuring costs of HK$100,544,000 have been recognised and included in the loss from continuing operations in the year ended 31 December 2004. 3. Loss per share The calculation of basic loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2004 was based upon the consolidated loss attributable to shareholders of HK$131,607,000 (2003: loss of HK$19,756,000) and on the 470,894,200 (2003: 470,894,200) ordinary shares in issue during the year. The fully diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2004 and 2003 were not shown because the potential ordinary shares would decrease the loss per share and would be regarded as anti-dilutive.
