This preliminary announcement has been preparedon the basis of the accounting policies as stated in the financial statementsfor the period ended 31 December 2013. The information included in thispreliminary announcement is based on the Company's financial statements, whichare prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS).CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENTThe past 12 months have been very challenging for the Company, mostly due tothe unforeseen closing and subsequent write-down of our tour operator and hotelmanagement company, ORH SpA, at the start of 2014. This loss was particularlyhard felt following ORH's positive contribution to the Group in the first sixmonths of 2013.The Board's initial investigations in to the operations of the ORH Groupreveled that there were serious financial irregularities in its operations andthis left the Board with no option but to indefinitely suspend operations andwrite down the entire investment to zero in 2013. This resulted an exceptionalcharge of Euro 7.4 million. The Company will continue to pursue legal actionagainst the former directors and owners of ORH S.p.A through both civil andcriminal courts in Italy, with the view that compensation will be recovered indue course.The collapse of the Ora Hotel chain, together with the Board's decision toadopt a more prudent approach to the valuations placed on the Group's otherassets, this had contributed to the delay in publishing the accounts for 2013.The Italian economy continues to deteriorate, a situation that has been inevidence since 2009, with acceleration in the last three years. This hasparticularly impacted the leisure and hotel sectors, where the Company's assetsoperate, leading to impairment losses and provisions of Euro 5.3 million, whichtaken together with the write down of our investment in ORH, represents much ofthe Company's loss for the year.However and despite these events, the Company has continued its strategy torestructure its holdings, reduce its debt position and overheads, establish amore accurate valuation for each of its assets, and to create more desirableconditions to improve the salability of certain assets, such as the MediapolisInvestment.The Board is pleased with the initial results of this strategy and expects tobe able to present to its shareholders a clearer and more positive financialposition and asset valuation.Despite the adverse and difficult economic conditions in Italy in the past fewyears the Board honored its undertaking to shareholders that was made inFebruary 2013, to not issue further Clear Leisure stock to support its businessactivities.The current Net Asset Value per share in the financial statements is 7 penceper share, and is considerably higher than the last closing price of our stockand above the 2013STRATEGIC REPORTThe Directors present their Strategic Report on Clear Leisure plc and itssubsidiary undertakings ("the Group") for the year ended 31 December 2013.The Strategic Report is a new statutory requirement under section 414A of theCompanies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013and is intended to provide fair, balanced and understandable information thatenables the Directors to be satisfied that they have complied with section 172of the Companies Act 2006, which sets out the Directors' duty to promote thesuccess of the Group and Company.REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE YEARDuring the year, the Group completed a placing of a zero coupon convertiblebond at a conversion price of 15p per share and issued at 78% of face value.The Group sold €3,000,000 to different European institutions, with theremaining €6,900,000 held in the Group's treasury account. The net proceeds ofthe issue were used to buy back, at a discount, existing debt positions.In October 2013 the Company announced that ORH Spa had temporarily suspendedoperations pending an investigation into suspected financial irregularitieswithin the ORH group. The investigation confirmed the Board's suspicions thatthere had been serious financial irregularities within the ORH group, and on 3December 2013, the Group announced that legal action had resulted in thesettlement of its investment in the subsidiary. The settlement resulted in adisposal of part of the Group's holding in ORH S.p.A. In addition a liquidatorwas appointed by a tribunal in Milan on 2 February 2014. These two events haveresulted in the Group no longer holding a controlling interest in ORH S.p.A.The Group made progress in settling creditors throughout the year. On 6February 2013, the Group entered into a conditional agreement with certaincreditors to buy back £2,704,594 of Clear Leisure debt for a cash amount of £1,576,165. The Group repaid debt of EUR 230,000 to an outstanding creditor byissuing 3.2 million Clear Leisure Ordinary shares at a price of 6p per share.The Group repaid clients of Eufingest S.A. the amount of £600,000 in settlementof a short-term loan through the issue of 15 million Clear Leisure Ordinaryshares at a price of 4p per share.Mr Alfredo Villa, CEO and Interim Chairman of the Group has offered to forgohis salary of £120,000 for a period of one year. Mr Villa has also proposedthat the outstanding salary of £85,000 owed to him in this current financialyear, ending 31 December 2013, may be written-off or converted into ClearLeisure Plc ordinary shares should the Company undertake a new equity placingat any time in the next 12 months. Mr Villa made a loan to the Company of EUR50,000 in conjunction with the external audit of ORH SpA and to expedite theoperational recovery of the hotel chain. Mr Villa has agreed to acceptrepayment of the loan within the next 12 months, or that he may convert thisamount into Clear Leisure Plc ordinary shares.The Group received an unsolicited, but binding and fully-financed offer fromGenerali Investimenti Holding , a Milan based building contractor to acquirethe Company's entire holding (directly and indirectly held by the Company) inMediapolis S.p.A. The offer was between €20-€30m in cash or stocks based oncertain conditions and further details of this offer is available in theregulatory news issued on that day.Board changesOn 11 February 2013, the Group announced that Mr Enrico Petocchi and Mr DominicWhite both resigned as non-executive directors of the Company.On 29 August 2013, the Group announced that Cesare Suglia, Executive Director,stepped down from the Board and left the Company.On 18 October 2013, the Group announced the resignation of Luke Johnson asnon-Executive Chairman and appointed Alfredo Villa as Interim Chairman.Future developmentsOn 6 January 2014, the Group announced that it increased its interest in theItalian sushi restaurant chain, Sosushi Company Srl from 51 per cent. to 100per cent. Consideration will take the form of a credit compensationagreement between the vendor and the Group with no additional cash paymentrequired.On 7 January 2014, the Group announced that it received an additionalunsolicited, but binding offer to acquire the Group's entire holding (directlyand indirectly held by the Group) in Mediapolis S.p.A. by Fornest Ltd, a UKinvestment company, which manages the interests of certain Italian investors.On 13 January 2014, the Group announced that further to the announcements onMediapolis S.p.A. dated 22 November 2013 and 7 January 2014, the Groupsubmitted on 10 January 2014 to the Ivrea Tribunal, a formal proposal for therestructuring of the Mediapolis debt, the "Concordato in Continuità".On 27 May 2014, the Group acquired a 100% interest in a specific vehicle whichcontrols the entire share capital of Hospitality & Leisure Fund (H&L Fund), anItalian real estate fund regulated by the Italian financial authorities.Risks and uncertaintiesThe Group's investments as at 31 December 2013 were all in unlistedinvestments, as a result there is no readily available market for sale in orderto arrive at a fair value. The valuation of each investment is appraised on aregular basis and requires a significant amount of judgement together withreviewing the cash flows and budgets of the investee company in order to arriveat a fair value.The Group has raised funds during the period as discussed in the \`Developmentsduring the year' above. The Directors feel that the amounts raised will not besufficient to meet their operating forecasts over the next 12 months, andfurther funds will be required to meet the day to day operations of the Group.Key performance indicators ("KPI's")The key performance indicators are set out below:PLC S 31 December 31 December Change % 2013 2012Net asset value (less minority interests) €16,956,000 €29,455,000 -42.4%Net asset value - fully diluted per share 0.085 0.1625 -47.7%(€)Closing share price 2.125p 4.500p -52.8%Market capitalisation £4,237,449 £8,154,422 -48.0%Assessment of business riskThe Board regularly reviews operating and strategic risks. The Group'soperating procedures include a system for reporting financial and non-financialinformation to the Board including: \* reports from management with a review of the business at each Board meeting, focusing on any new decisions/risks arising; \* reports on the performance of investments; \* reports on selection criteria of new investments; \* discussion with senior personnel; and \* consideration of reports prepared by third parties.Financial risk managementDetails of the Group's financial instruments and its policies with regard tofinancial risk management are contained in note 25 to the financial statements.Results for the year and dividendsThe loss for the year from continuing operations was €7.4 million (2012: lossof €2.5 million). Since the Group does not have any distributable reserves, theDirectors are unable to recommend the payment of a dividend.Going concernThe Group's activities generated a loss from continuing operations of €7,359,000 (2012: €2,491,000) and had net current liabilities of €16,330,000 asat 31 December 2013. In addition the Company's shares are currently suspendedon the AIM Market. The Group's operational existence is still dependant on theability to raise further funding either through an equity placing on AIM, orthrough other external sources, to support the on-going working capitalrequirements.After making due enquiries, the Directors have formed a judgement that there isa reasonable expectation that the Group can secure further adequate resourcesto continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thatadequate arrangements will be in place to enable the settlement of theirfinancial commitments, as and when they fall due.For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis inpreparing the financial statements. Whilst there are inherent uncertainties inrelation to future events, and therefore no certainty over the outcome of thematters described, the Directors consider that, based upon financialprojections and dependant on the success of their efforts to complete theseactivities, the Group will be a going concern for the next twelve months. If itis not possible for the Directors to realise their plans, over which there issignificant uncertainty, the carrying value of the assets of the Group islikely to be impaired.By order of the Board.Alfredo VillaDirector15 December 2014DIRECTORS' REPORTThe Directors present their report together with the audited financialstatements for the year ended 31 December 2013.Principal ActivityThe principal activity of the Group is that of an investment company pursuing astrategy to create a portfolio of companies within the leisure, entertainment,interactive media and financial services sectors.DirectorsThe present members of the Board of Directors together with brief biographiesare shown on page 2.The board comprised the following directors who served throughout the year andup to the date of this report save where disclosed otherwise beside their name:Alfredo VillaLuke Johnson (Resigned 18 October 2013)Cesare Suglia (Resigned 29 August 2013)Nilesh JagatiaFrancesco EmilianiEnrico Petocchi (Resigned 11 February 2013)Dominic White (Resigned 11 February 2013)Directors' interestsNo Director had a material interest in any contract of significance to theCompany or any of its subsidiaries during the period.

This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies areappropriate to the Company's circumstances and have been consistently appliedand adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accountingestimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financialstatements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financialinformation in the Chairman's statement, strategic report and Directors' reportto identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on,or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course ofperforming the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatementsor inconsistencies we consider the implication for our report.A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is also providedon the APB's website at www.frc.org.uk/apb/scope/private.cfm.Basis for qualified opinion on financial statementsThe audit evidence available to us was limited due to restrictions placed onthe scope of our work as a result of two separate issues.Firstly, an issue arose as a result of a pending investigation into thefinancial irregularities of the subsidiary ORH S.p.A. ("ORH"), the Boarddecided to dispose of the Group's investment on 3 December 2013. ORH has sincethe year end been put into voluntariy liquidiation which was authorised by theMilan Tribunal on 2 February 2014, with a liquidator appointed on the same day.Unfortunately given the irregularities, the situation has resulted in our auditnot being able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in the Groupfinancial statements concern: \* the existence of the assets held by ORH, which through the Group's 73.43% investment had a carrying value of €nil as at 31 December (2012: €19.915m), within the Group's financial statements. \* the completeness of the liabilities arising from the trading activities of ORH, which through the Group's 73.43% investment has a carrying value of € nil as at 31 December 2013 (2012: €15.839m), within the Group's financial statements.As such we are unable to confirm the total loss relating to the discontinuedoperations in ORH of €7.358m, as discosed in Note 13 and the total loss ondisposal of the investment in the Company accounts of €5.345m, as disclosed inNote 29.Secondly, as a result of the Directors not being able to provide confirmationof the asset position of the various funds managed by Cambria Limited in whichthe Group have both direct and indirect interests including their holding inCambria Equity Partners LP, we have been unable to obtain sufficientappropriate audit evidence in the Group financial statements concerning: \* the existence of the assets held by the Group in relation to these investments, which had a carrying value of €nil as at 31 December 2013 (2012: €nil) within the Group financial statements. \* the impairment of the investment valuation which during the year to 31 December 2013 was €nil (2012: €305,500).As such we are unable to confirm whether the value attributable to theseinvestments included within the Group financial statements at €nil is true andfair, and accordingly whether the accounting treatment adopted by the Companyas outlined above is in accordance with IFRS.Qualified opinion on the financial statementsIn our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in theBasis for qualified opinion paragraph: \* the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2013 and of the group's loss for the year then ended; \* the group and parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; and \* the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.Opinion on matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006In our opinion the information given in the report of the directors for thefinancial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistentwith the financial statements.OpinionEmphasis of matter - Going concernWe draw your attention to the disclosure made in note 3 to the financialstatements concerning the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.These conditions, along with other matters explained in note 3 to the financialstatements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may castdoubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. TheDirectors have plans to manage the cash flows of the Group to enable it tocontinue as a going concern. These plans include the necessary additionalfundraising required to provide the operational working capital requirement forthe next 12 months. The financial statements do not include the adjustmentsthat would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern.Matters on which we are required to report by exceptionIn respect solely of the limitation on our work to the assessment of theaccuracy of the accounting records used in the preparation of the financialstatements, described above, we have not obtained all the information andexplanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of the audit.We have nothing else to report in respect of the following matters where theCompanies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: \* adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or \* the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or \* certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or \* we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.Jonathan Bradley Hoare (Senior statutory auditor)for and on behalf of Welbeck AssociatesChartered Accountants and Registered AuditorsLondon, United Kingdom15 December 2014GROUP STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013 2013 2012 \*RestatedContinuing operations €'000 €'000Revenue 1,291 1,499Cost of sales (515) (253) 776 1,246Other operating income -

General InformationClear Leisure plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom under theCompanies Act 2006. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on AIM of theLondon Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office is given on theCompany information page. The nature of the Group's operations and itsprincipal activities are set out in the Directors' report.2. Accounting policiesThe principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all beenapplied consistently throughout the period covered by these consolidatedfinancial statements.Basis of preparationThe consolidated Financial Statements of Clear Leisure plc have been preparedin accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRSInterpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted by the European Union and theparts of Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.The financial statements have been prepared under the historical costconvention except in respect of revalued properties (as permitted by IFRS 1),and for certain available for sale investments that are stated at their fairvalues and land and buildings that have been revalued to their fair value.The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires theuse of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management toexercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accountingpolicies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, orareas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidatedFinancial Statements are disclosed in Note 3.The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euros (€), thepresentational and functional currency, rounded to the nearest €'000.Going ConcernAny consideration of the forseeable future involves making a judgment, at aparticular point in time, about future events which are inherently uncertain.The ability of the Group to carry out its planned business objectives isdependent on its continuing ability to raise adequate financing from equityinvestors and/or the achievement of profitable operations.Nevertheless, at the time of approving these financial statements and aftermaking due enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that theGroup has adequate resources to continue operating for the forseeable future.For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparing theGroup's financial statements.Basis of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements ofthe Group and entities controlled by the Group (its subsidiaries) made up to 31December each year. Control is achieved where the Group has the power to governthe financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtainbenefits from its activities.The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year areincluded in the consolidated income statement from the effective date ofacquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Wherenecessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries tobring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the group. Allintra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated onconsolidation.Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from theGroup's equity therein. Those interests of non-controlling shareholders thatare present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionateshare of net assets upon liquidation may initially be measured at fair value orat the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the fair value of theacquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement is made on anacquisition-by-acquisition basis. Other non-controlling interests are initiallymeasured at fair value. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount ofnon-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initialrecognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of subsequent changes inequity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interestseven if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.Changes in the Group's interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a lossof control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of theGroup's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect thechanges in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference betweenthe amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fairvalue of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equityand attributed to the owners of the Group.When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal iscalculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of theconsideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) theprevious carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), less liabilitiesof the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previouslyrecognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary areaccounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly toretained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevantassets or liabilities are disposed of. The fair value of any investmentretained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regardedas the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under lAS 39Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, thecosts on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointlycontrolled entity.Business CombinationsAcquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using theacquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at theaggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given,liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group inexchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognisedin profit or loss as incurred.Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset orliability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured atits acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values areadjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurementperiod adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair valueof contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accountedfor in accordance with relevant IFRSs. Changes in the fair value of contingentconsideration classified as equity are not recognised.Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously-heldinterests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at theacquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resultinggain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising frominterests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previouslybeen recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit orloss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposedof.The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities thatmeet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3(2008) are recognised at theirfair value at the acquisition date, except that: \* deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with lAS 12 Income Taxes and lAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively; \* liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree's share-based payment awards are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, and \* assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the endof the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reportsprovisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Thoseprovisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), oradditional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new informationobtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition datethat, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the datethe Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances thatexisted as of the acquisition date, and is subject to a maximum of one year.3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertaintyThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs requiresmanagement to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect theapplication of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, incomeand expenses. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are basedon historical experience and other factors including expectations of futureevents that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resultingaccounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actualresults. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causinga material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities withinthe next financial year are discussed belowImpairment of goodwillGoodwill has a carrying value of €9,000 (2012: €6,652,000). The Group testsannually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with theaccounting policy stated in Note 2. The recoverable amounts of cash-generatingunits have been determined based on value-in-use calculations.Management has concluded that an impairment charge to the carrying value ofgoodwill of €1,303,000 was necessary during the year. See Note 15 to theFinancial Statements.Fair value measurementManagement uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financialinstruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financialassets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with howmarket participants would price the instrument. Management bases itsassumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not alwaysavailable. In that case management uses the best information available.Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved inan arm's length transaction at the reporting date.In order to arrive at the fair value of investments a significant amount ofjudgement and estimation has been adopted by the Directors as detailed in theinvestments accounting policy. Where these investments are un-listed and thereis no readily available market for sale the carrying value is based upon futurecash flows and current earnings multiples for which similar entities have beensold.Going ConcernThe Group's activities generated a loss from continuing operations of €7,359,000 (2012: €2,491,000) and had net current liabilities of €16,330,000 asat 31 December 2013. In addition the Company's shares are currently suspendedon the AIM Market. The Group's operational existence is still dependant on theability to raise further funding either through an equity placing on AIM, orthrough other external sources, to support the on-going working capitalrequirements.After making due enquiries, the Directors have formed a judgement that there isa reasonable expectation that the Group can secure further adequate resourcesto continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thatadequate arrangements will be in place to enable the settlement of theirfinancial commitments, as and when they fall due.For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis inpreparing the financial statements. Whilst there are inherent uncertainties inrelation to future events, and therefore no certainty over the outcome of thematters described, the Directors consider that, based upon financialprojections and dependant on the success of their efforts to complete theseactivities, the Group will be a going concern for the next twelve months. If itis not possible for the Directors to realise their plans, over which there issignificant uncertainty, the carrying value of the assets of the Group islikely to be impaired.4. Segment informationIFRS 8 requires reporting segments to be identified on the basis of internalreports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chiefoperating decision maker.Information reported to the Group's chief operating decision maker for thepurposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance isspecifically focused on the geographical segments within the Group.Information regarding the Group's reportable segments is presented below: 2013 2012 UK Italy Total UK Italy TotalContinuing operations €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000Revenue - 1,291 1,291 - 1,499 1,499Cost of sales - (515) (515) - (253) (253)Gross Profit 776 776 - 1,246 1,246Gain on disposal of - - - 1,367 1,877 3,244investmentFinance Income - - - - 8 8Finance charges (311) (133) (468) (337) (350) (687)Other operating expenses (1,506) (803) (2,285) (817) (745) (1,562)Other gains and losses - (5,342) (5,342) - (4,693) (4,693)Loss for the financial (1,817) (5,502) (7,319) 213 (2,657) (2,444)year 2013 2012 Segment Segment Net Net assets/ Segment Segment Net Net assets/ assets liabilities additions (liabilities) assets liabilities Additions (liabilities) to to non-current non-current Assets assets €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000 €'000UK 60 (7,458) - (7,398) 15 (7,896) - (7,881)Italy 50,502 (18,929) - 31,573 72,881 (33,537) 8,103 47,447 50,562 (26,387) - 24,175 72,896 (41,433) 8,103 39,5665. Earnings per shareThe basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable toequity shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issueduring the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weightedaverage number of shares during the period adjusted for the dilutive effect ofshare options and convertible loans outstanding during the period.The loss and weighted average number of shares used in the calculation are setout below: 2013 2012 Per Per Loss Weighted share Loss Weighted share €'000 average no.
