2.         Financial risk management and financial instruments

Risks and uncertainties

The Board continually assesses and monitors the key risks of the business. The key risks that could affect Attis' medium term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in Attis' 2019 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available from Attis' website. The key financial risks are market risk, including currency risk, credit risk and liquidity.

3.         Loss per share

The calculation of earnings per share is based on the earnings attributable to equity holders divided by the weighted average number of shares on issue during the period.  

As referred to in Note 6 below, the Company has issued options.  However, based upon current share prices they presently have no value and accordingly would not be exercised, hence basic and diluted profit per share are the same.  Historically the Company has reported losses, in such a situation the inclusion of potential ordinary shares would have resulted in a decrease in the loss per share, and as such, their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, a historic diluted loss per share has not been calculated or included. 

4.         Borrowings
