The provided image contains financial data for 30 April 2024 and 30 April 2025. To calculate the financial indicators for 28 February 2026 as requested in question 2.4, the specific financial figures for the year ending 28 February 2026 are needed. These figures (e.g., sales, operating expenses, net profit, shareholders' equity, number of shares) are not available in the provided image.

However, I can provide the formulas for each indicator:

2.4.1 % Operating expenses on sales

The formula for operating expenses on sales is:

Operating ExpensesSales×100%\frac{\text{Operating Expenses}}{\text{Sales}} \times 100\%

To calculate this, you would need the Operating Expenses and Sales figures for the financial year ended 28 February 2026.

2.4.2 Earnings per share (EPS)

The formula for Earnings per share (EPS) is:

Net Profit after Tax - Preference DividendsNumber of Ordinary Shares in Issue\frac{\text{Net Profit after Tax - Preference Dividends}}{\text{Number of Ordinary Shares in Issue}}

To calculate this, you would need the Net Profit after Tax for the year ended 28 February 2026, any Preference Dividends paid during that period, and the Number of Ordinary Shares in Issue as at 28 February 2026.

2.4.3 % Return on average shareholders' equity

The formula for Return on average shareholders' equity is:

Net Profit after TaxAverage Shareholders’ Equity×100%\frac{\text{Net Profit after Tax}}{\text{Average Shareholders' Equity}} \times 100\%

Where Average Shareholders' Equity is calculated as:

Shareholders’ Equity (Beginning of Year) + Shareholders’ Equity (End of Year)2\frac{\text{Shareholders' Equity (Beginning of Year) + Shareholders' Equity (End of Year)}}{2}

To calculate this, you would need the Net Profit after Tax for the year ended 28 February 2026, and the Shareholders' Equity at the beginning (1 March 2025) and end (28 February 2026) of that financial year.
