(5)      Profit before exceptional items, taxation and goodwill amortisation

Profit before exceptional items, taxation and goodwill amortisation is presented before the charge for goodwill amortisation. This is a non-UK GAAP measure for which the most directly comparable UK GAAP financial measure is profit before exceptional items and taxation. A detailed explanation of management’s reasons for believing this non-UK GAAP financial measure to be useful is provided in the Basis of Presentation section of Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” under the heading “Profit before exceptional items, taxation and goodwill amortisation” on pages 12 and 13 of this Annual Report on Form 20-F.
