Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
The Company	'
	1. The Company
	Tronox Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Tronox,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a public limited company registered under the laws of the State of Western Australia, Australia. We are a global leader in the production and marketing of titanium bearing mineral sands and titanium dioxide (“TiO2”) pigment. Our world-class, high performance TiO2 products are critical components of everyday applications such as paint and other coatings, plastics, paper and other applications. Our mineral sands business consists primarily of three product streams—titanium feedstock, zircon and pig iron. Titanium feedstock is primarily used to manufacture TiO2. Zircon, a hard, glossy mineral, is used for the manufacture of ceramics, refractories, TV screen glass and a range of other industrial and chemical products. Pig iron is a metal material used in the steel and metal casting industries to create wrought iron, cast iron and steel. We have global operations in North America, Europe, South Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. We operate three TiO2 facilities at the following locations: Hamilton, Mississippi; Botlek, The Netherlands; and Kwinana, Western Australia, and we operate three separate mining operations: KwaZulu-Natal (“KZN”) Sands and Namakwa Sands both located in South Africa, and Cooljarloo located in Western Australia.
	At March 31, 2014, Exxaro Resources Limited (“Exxaro”) held approximately 44.4% of the voting securities of Tronox Limited. Exxaro has agreed that through June 15, 2015, it would not engage in any transaction or other action, that would result in its beneficial ownership of the voting shares of Tronox Limited exceeding 45% of the total issued shares of Tronox Limited.
	In addition, Exxaro has a 26% ownership interest in each of our Tronox KZN Sands (Pty) Ltd. and Tronox Mineral Sands (Pty) Ltd. subsidiaries in order to comply with the ownership requirements of the Black Economic Empowerment legislation in South Africa. Exxaro is entitled to exchange this interest for approximately 3.2% in additional Class B Shares under certain circumstances. Exxaro also has a 26% ownership interest in certain of our other non-operating subsidiaries. We account for such ownership interest as “Noncontrolling interest” in our condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $4 million and $12 million, respectively, with an offsetting comprehensive loss of $3 million and $28 million, respectively.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
	In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner and presentation in the current period.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a change in estimate within one year of the date of the financial statements due to one or more future confirming events could have a material effect on the financial statements.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	During 2014, we adopted accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2013-5, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which addresses the treatment of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells or liquidates a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Reorganizations [Abstract]	'
Anadarko Litigation	'
	2. Anadarko Litigation
	In May 2009, we commenced an adversary proceeding in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Manhattan) (the “Bankruptcy Court”) against Kerr-McGee Corp. (“Kerr-McGee”) and its parent, Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (“Anadarko”), related to the 2005 Spin-Off of Tronox Incorporated (Tronox Incorporated v. Anadarko (In re Tronox Inc.)), 09-1198 (the “Anadarko Litigation”). Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, we assigned the rights to any pre-tax proceeds that may be recovered in the Anadarko Litigation.
	On December 12, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, and found that Kerr-McGee acted with intent to delay, and hindered Tronox Incorporated’s creditors when it spun off Tronox Incorporated. The court held Anadarko liable, and indicated damages in the range of $5 billion to $14 billion, subject to a set off against claims that Anadarko filed as a creditor in Tronox Incorporated’s 2009 bankruptcy filing.
	On April 3, 2014, a proposed settlement was reached with Anadarko for $5.15 billion. We will not receive any portion of the settlement amount. Instead, 88% of the $5.15 billion will go to trusts and other governmental entities for the remediation of polluted sites by Kerr-McGee. The remaining 12% will be distributed to a tort trust to compensate individuals injured as a result of Kerr-McGee’s environmental failures.
	We received a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service confirming that the trusts that held the claims against Anadarko are grantor trusts of Tronox Incorporated solely for federal income tax purposes. As a result, we should be entitled to tax deductions equal to the amount spent by the trusts to remediate environmental matters and to compensate the injured individuals. These deductions will accrue over the life of the trusts as the $5.15 billion is spent. We believe that these expenditures and the accompanying tax deductions may continue for decades.
	No provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for the proposed settlement, as it is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

	3. Income Taxes
	Our operations are conducted through our various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. We have provided for income taxes based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.

	Income tax benefit (provision)	$	1		$	(1	)

	Effective tax rate		2	%		(2	)%
	The effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, differs from the Australian statutory rate of 30% primarily due to withholding tax accruals, valuation allowances in the United States, and income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates different than 30%.
	We continue to maintain a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets in the United States, excluding the deferred benefit for the alternative minimum tax credit. Future provisions for income taxes will include no tax benefits with respect to losses incurred and tax expense only to the extent of current alternative minimum tax and state tax payments until the valuation allowance in the United States is eliminated. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes, requires that all available positive and negative evidence be weighted to determine whether a valuation allowance should be recorded.

	The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the periods indicated is as follows:
			Three Months Ended March 31,

	Numerator – Basic and Diluted:
	Net loss		$	(54	)	$	(45	)

	Loss per Ordinary Share (2):
	Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share		$	(0.51	)	$	(0.50	)
	-1	Our participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses; therefore, when we have a net loss, none of the loss is allocated to participating securities. Consequently, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the two class method did not have an effect on our loss per ordinary share calculation, and as such, dividends paid during the year were not included for purposes of this calculation.
	-2	Loss per ordinary share amounts were calculated from exact, not rounded income (loss) and share information.
	In computing diluted loss per share under the two-class method, we considered potentially dilutive shares. At March 31, 2014, 2,939,568 options with an average exercise price of $21.08, 357,295 Series A Warrants and 465,129 Series B Warrants, with exercise prices of $59.30 and $65.44, respectively, and 1,002,232 restricted share units with an average price of $22.04 were not recognized in the diluted loss per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2013, 2,027,304 options with an average exercise price of $20.56, 357,570 Series A Warrants and 465,465 Series B Warrants, with exercise prices of $60.81 and $67.11, respectively, and 324,472 restricted share units with an average price of $20.99 were not recognized in the diluted loss per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

	On March 19, 2013, we, along with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tronox Pigments (Netherlands) B.V., and certain of our subsidiaries named as guarantors, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Second Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, UBS Securities LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers, joint bookrunners and co-syndication agents. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we obtained a $1.5 billion senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan was issued net of an original issue discount. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unamortized discount was $10 million and $11 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we made principal repayments of $4 million. We had no repayments during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	On April 23, 2014, we, along with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tronox Pigments (Netherlands) B.V., and certain of our subsidiaries named as guarantors, entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Third Agreement”) with the lender parties thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, which amends the Second Agreement. The Third Agreement provides for the re-pricing of the Term Loan by replacing the existing definition of “Applicable Margin” with a grid pricing matrix dependent upon our public corporate family rating as determined by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (with the interest rate under the Third Agreement remaining subject to Eurodollar Rate and Base Rate floors, as defined in the Third Agreement). Pursuant to the Third Agreement, based upon our current public corporate family rating by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, the current interest rate per annum is 300 basis points plus LIBOR (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1% per annum) compared to 350 basis points plus LIBOR (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1% per annum) in the Second Agreement. The Third Agreement also amended certain provisions of the Second Agreement to permit us and certain of our subsidiaries to obtain new cash flow revolving credit facilities in place of our existing asset based revolving credit facility. The maturity date under the Second Agreement and all other material terms of the Second Agreement remain the same under the Third Agreement.
	Senior Notes
	Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tronox Finance LLC, issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes at par value (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest semiannually at a rate equal to 6.375%, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The Senior Notes were initially offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. During 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, pursuant to which we and such subsidiaries offered to exchange $900 million in aggregate principal amount of registered 6.375% senior notes due 2020 and related guarantees for existing and substantially identical $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2020, which were previously issued by Tronox Finance LLC.
	Capital Leases
	We have capital lease obligations in South Africa, which are payable through 2031 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 14%. At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, such obligations had a net book value of assets recorded under capital leases aggregating $23 million. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we made principal payments of less than $1 million.
	Fair Value
	Our debt is recorded at historical amounts. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the Term Loan was $1,500 million and $1,524 million, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the Senior Notes was $928 million and $924 million, respectively. We determined the fair value of the Term Loan and the Senior Notes using Bloomberg market prices. The fair value hierarchy for the Term Loan and the Senior Notes is a Level 1 input.
	Debt Covenants
	At March 31, 2014, we had financial covenants in the UBS Revolver, the ABSA Revolver and the Term Loan; however, only the ABSA Revolver had a financial maintenance covenant that applies to local operations and only when the ABSA Revolver is drawn upon. The Term Loan and the UBS Revolver are subject to an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which the lenders’ respective rights and interests in the security are set forth. We were in compliance with all our financial covenants as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Security
	We have pledged the majority of our U.S. assets and certain assets of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in support of our outstanding debt.

	Tronox Limited Management Equity Incentive Plan
	On June 15, 2012, we adopted the Tronox Limited Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “MEIP”), which permits the grant of awards that are comprised of incentive options, nonqualified options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and other share-based awards, cash payments, and other forms as the compensation committee of the Board in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. Subject to further adjustment, the maximum number of shares which may be the subject of awards (inclusive of incentive options) is 12,781,225 Class A Shares.
	Restricted Shares
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we granted restricted shares to members of the Board which vest ratably over a three-year period. These awards are classified as equity awards, and are accounted for using the fair value established at the grant date.
	The following table presents a summary of activity for the three months ended March 31, 2014:
		Number of			Weighted Average
		Shares			Grant Date
					Fair Value
	Outstanding, January 1, 2014		1,148,795			20.61
	Granted		38,766			22.17
	Vested		(80,743	)		19.06

	Expected to vest, March 31, 2014		1,095,489		$	20.77
	At March 31, 2014, there was $11 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years. The total fair value of restricted shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2 million.
	Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we granted RSUs to employees and members of the Board which have time and/or performance requirements. The time-based awards vest ratably over a three-year period, while the performance-based awards cliff vest at the end of the three years. These awards are classified as equity awards, and are accounted for using the fair value established at the grant date.
		Number of			Weighted Average
		Shares			Grant Date
					Fair Value
	Outstanding, January 1, 2014		303,324			21.08

	Expected to vest, March 31, 2014		970,161		$	22.05
	At March 31, 2014, there was $18 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested RSUs, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1 million.
	Options
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we granted options to employees to purchase Class A Shares, which vest ratably over a three-year period and have a ten-year term. The following table presents a summary of activity for the three months ended March 31, 2014:
		Number of			Weighted		Weighted		Intrinsic
		Options			Average		Average		Value
					Exercise		Contractual
					Price		Life (years)
	Outstanding, January 1, 2014		2,094,771		$	20.63		8.97	$	7
	Granted		910,375			21.98
	Exercised		(60,387	)		19.09
	Forfeited		(5,031	)		19.52
	Expired		(160	)		25.9
	Outstanding, March 31, 2014		2,939,568		$	21.08		9.06	$	9
	Expected to vest, March 31, 2014		2,189,782		$	21.16		9.2	$	7
	Exercisable, March 31, 2014		678,036		$	20.85		8.58	$	2
	The aggregate intrinsic values in the table represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between our share price at the indicated dates and the options’ exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options at the end of the first quarter. The amount will change based on the fair market value of our stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended 2014 was less than $1 million. We issue new shares upon the exercise of options. During the three months ended 2014, we received $1 million in cash for the exercise of stock options.
	At March 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to options, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was $15 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.
	Fair value is determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the employee service period of three years, which is the vesting period. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:
		February 10,
		2014
	Number of options granted		910,375
	Fair market value and exercise price	$	21.98
	Risk-free interest rate		1.88	%
	Expected dividend yield		4.55	%
	Expected volatility		58	%
	Maturity (years)		10
	Expected term (years)		6
	Per-unit fair value of options granted	$	8.17
	The fair value is based on the closing price of our Class A Shares on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury Strips available with maturity period consistent with expected life assumption. The expected volatility assumption is based on historical price movements of our peer group.
T-Bucks Employee Participation Plan (“T-Bucks EPP”)
During 2012, we established the T-Bucks EPP for the benefit of certain qualifying employees of our South African subsidiaries. We funded the T-Bucks Trust (the “Trust”) with R124 million (approximately $15 million), which was used to acquire Class A Shares. Additional contributions may be made in the future at the discretion of the Board. The T-Bucks EPP is classified as an equity-settled shared-based payment plan, whereby participants were awarded share units in the Trust, which entitles them to receive Class A Shares upon completion of the vesting period on May 31, 2017. Participants are entitled to receive dividends on the shares during the vesting period. Forfeited shares are retained by the Trust, and are allocated to future participants. Compensation costs are recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. During 2012, the Trust purchased 548,234 Class A Shares at $25.79 per share, which was the fair value on the date of purchase. The balance at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 548,234 shares.

	The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also considered the nature of services provided by our operating segments. We have two reportable segments, Mineral Sands and Pigment. Our Mineral Sands segment includes the exploration, mining, and beneficiation of mineral sands deposits, as well as heavy mineral production, and produces titanium feedstock, including chloride slag, slag fines, and rutile, as well as pig iron and zircon. Our Pigment segment primarily produces and markets TiO2. Corporate and Other is comprised of our electrolytic operations, all of which are located in the United States, as well as our corporate activities.
	Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit (loss), which represents the results of segment operations before unallocated costs, such as general corporate expenses not identified to a specific segment, environmental provisions, net of reimbursements, related to sites no longer in operation, interest expense, other income (expense), and income tax expense or benefit.

	The obligations of Tronox Finance LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally (subject to certain customary circumstances providing for the release of a guarantor subsidiary) guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by Tronox Limited (referred to for purposes of this note only as the “Parent Company”) and each of its current and future U.S. restricted subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries, that guarantee any indebtedness of the Parent Company or its restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiary Issuer and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company. Our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes are referred to as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.” The guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements presented below presents the statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets and statements of cash flow data for: (i) the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (which is derived from Tronox historical reported financial information); (ii) the Parent Company, alone (accounting for our Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on an equity basis under which the investments are recorded by each entity owning a portion of another entity at cost, adjusted for the applicable share of the subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions, and other equity changes); (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries alone; and, (iv) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries alone.
	The guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements are presented on a legal entity basis, not on a business segment basis. The indenture governing the Senior Notes provides for a Guarantor Subsidiary to be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its guarantee obligations in certain customary circumstances, including:
		•		Sale or other disposition of such Guarantor Subsidiary’s capital stock or all or substantially all of its assets and all of the indenture obligations (other than contingent obligations) of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of all other indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors terminate upon the consummation of such transaction;
		•		Designation of such Guarantor Subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the indenture;
		•		In the case of certain Guarantor Subsidiaries that incur or guarantee indebtedness under certain credit facilities, upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor Subsidiary’s guarantee or incurrence of indebtedness that resulted in the creation of such guarantee, except a discharge or release as a result of payment under such guarantee;
		•		Legal defeasance, covenant defeasance, or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture obligations;
		•		Payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Senior Notes and all other obligations under the indenture; or
		•		Release or discharge of the Guarantor Subsidiary’s guarantee of certain other indebtedness.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
	In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner and presentation in the current period.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a change in estimate within one year of the date of the financial statements due to one or more future confirming events could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	During 2014, we adopted accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2013-5, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which addresses the treatment of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells or liquidates a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Computation of Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share	'
	The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the periods indicated is as follows:
			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2014			2013
	Numerator – Basic and Diluted:
	Net loss		$	(54	)	$	(45	)
	Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest			4			12
	Undistributed net loss			(58	)		(57	)
	Percentage allocated to ordinary shares (1)			100	%		100	%
	Loss available to ordinary shares		$	(58	)	$	(57	)
	Denominator – Basic and Diluted:
	Weighted-average ordinary shares (in thousands)			113,577			113,317
	Loss per Ordinary Share (2):
	Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share		$	(0.51	)	$	(0.50	)
	-1	Our participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses; therefore, when we have a net loss, none of the loss is allocated to participating securities. Consequently, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the two class method did not have an effect on our loss per ordinary share calculation, and as such, dividends paid during the year were not included for purposes of this calculation.
	-2	Loss per ordinary share amounts were calculated from exact, not rounded income (loss) and share information.
