Diluted earnings per share

The diluted earnings per share calculation takes into account all potential dilutions to the earnings per share arising from the convertible bonds and options on Kudelski SA shares.

* Shares equivalent of 5 225 440 (2008: 5 225 440) relating to the convertible bonds were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. In 2008, the employee stock option plan was anti-dilutive since the strike price of the options was greater than the year average stock market price.
