    Hi

    It’s $10,000,000 earnings per the question less $900,000 earnings from discontinued operations

    It’s the only time we make this adjustment of the earnings from the discontinued operations – in the final calculation that $900,000 is included within the year’s earnings figure

    MEPS is Marginal earnings Per Share

    OK?
