FIVE YEAR FINANCIAL SUMMARY

The income statements, cash flow information and balance sheet information for 2005 and 2006 have been prepared under IFRS.
The years prior to 2005 have not been adjusted from UK GAAP as it is not practicable to restate these years’ reports in accordance with IFRS.
Due to differences between IFRS and UK GAAP, there are some comparative inconsistencies in the tables below.
