Business Reviews - Introduction

To assist with analysis and comparison, the following business reviews are based on pro forma information for the first half of the prior year; this represents the 26 weeks to 2 September 2006 and is therefore a comparable financial period. The basis of preparation for pro forma restatements is set out at Appendix 1 on page 17, with reconciliations between pro forma and statutory reported results provided at Appendix 2 on pages 18 and 19.
