Reported net assets amounted to £3,159.5m, an increase of £80.8m
on the year-end balance sheet at 3 March 2007. This is equivalent to 364p
per share, excluding shares held in the ESOT. The major movements on the
balance sheet are a £162.7m increase in net cash versus the year-end
position, generated in part by continued good management of working capital
which contributed to the £119.4m increase in trade and other payables.
