The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2012 did not assume the effect of share option and unvested awarded shares under the Company's share incentive plan (see note 15) since their assumed conversion and exercise would result in a decrease in loss per share. No options and unvested advanced shares are excluded from calculation of diluted income per share in 2010 and 2011.
