The author considers the iterative functional equation \(G^m(z)= F(z)\), \(z\in S^1\subset\mathbb{C}\), \(m\geq 2\) integer, on the unit circle with positive orientation \(S^1\subset\mathbb{C}\), where \(F: S^1\to S^1\) is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism which has a nonempty and finite set of periodic points. The solutions of this functional equation (if such exist) are called iterative roots of \(m\)th-order of \(F\). \textit{J. H. Mai} [Acta Math. Sin. 30, No. 2, 280--283 (1987; Zbl 0634.39010)] has given conditions for existence of the iterative roots of a homeomorphism with a finite set of periodic points. In the present paper the author gives different conditions which allow to find all possible rotation numbers of the solutions of the considered functional equation.
