  1. The group adopted the provisions of IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' in its 2007 annual report and accounts. As part of the implementation of that standard certain income statement and statement of financial position captions were restated. The 2006 and 2005 information has been restated where possible to be consistent with later years, however certain balances are not fully comparable in circumstances where information is not readily available.
