2. This interim report was neither audited nor reviewed by the auditors. It does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of s240 of the Companies
Act 1985, but has been prepared using the accounting policies set out in the
Group's 2005 Statutory Accounts. The financial information for the twelve months
ended 28 February 2005 was derived from the latest Group accounts, which have
been filed with the Registrar of Companies and received an unqualified audit
report which did not contain statements under s237(2) or (3).
3. Loss per share was calculated on the group loss for the financial period and
on the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period of
849,881,049 (31 August 2004 : 839,944,149). The adjusted loss per share is
calculated before exceptional items and charges for goodwill amortisation.
4. The Board approved these Interim Accounts on 30 November 2005.
