The 2010 results above reflect the results for that year as disclosed in the 2011 Annual Report and the 2009 results reflect the results for that year as disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report. Each has, respectively, been adjusted for discontinued operations.

The Adjusted Earnings Per Share has been amended to reflect the core continuing operations by excluding the trading of the discontinued and closed operations and excluding the costs of closure and loss on disposal in 2010 and 2011. In previous years the adjustments made are to remove the effect of property disposals and, in 2007, a one-off non-cash tax charge.
