4. Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following:

 
                                                  2011      2010

---------------------  ----------  ---------- 
 Earnings per share: 
 Basic                       0.45        0.17 
 Diluted                     0.43        0.16 
---------------------  ----------  ---------- 
 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. At 28 February 2011 Tangent had two categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options and shares contingently issuable as consideration for an acquisition.

A calculation is performed for the share options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to the outstanding share options. The number of shares from this calculation is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the options and the difference is deemed to be the number of dilutive shares attributable to share options.

5. Dividends

--------------------------------------------  -------  ------- 
 

The recommended final dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the 2011 annual general meeting and has not been included as a liability in these financial statements.

The Tangent employee share ownership trust, which holds a total of 1,428,340 ordinary shares, has agreed to waive all dividends so the directors estimate that the dividend will be payable on approximately 173m ordinary shares.

On 16 September 2009 Tangent acquired the entire share capital of The DDG Network Limited together with the business and assets of Double D Management LLP, collectively known as "Snowball". The acquisition agreement contained provision for a maximum additional consideration, of GBP1.68m payable in cash and GBP500,000 in shares at a valuation of 6.17p per share to be paid in three equal tranches, subject to earnings before interest and tax rising to a total of GBP1.5m over a three year period to 31 August 2012.No additional consideration was payable in respect of the first year. Having reviewed the performance of the acquired business the directors are of the opinion that additional consideration will become payable in respect of the year to 31 August 2011 and a provision of GBP302,000 (GBP233,000 in cash and GBP69,000 in shares), has therefore been included in these financial statements.

Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from that business combination.

From 1 March 2011 Tangent revised the business segments as follows:

Software and Communications This business segment includes Tangent One, Snowball and Tangent Labs

Design and Print This business segment includes Ravensworth and Tangent on Demand.

As it is the future cash flows from each CGU that needs to be measured against the carrying value of goodwill in each business segment the impairment testing undertaken has been based upon the amended segments from 1(st) March 2011, this will ensure that future cash flows are measured against the CGU in which the benefit of the business combination is expected.

Following the above changes the carrying value of goodwill relating to the acquisition of Snowball has been reallocated to the Software and Communications segment as follows:
