A note on historical cost profits and losses has not been included as part of these accounts as the results as disclosed in the profit and loss account are prepared on an unmodified historical cost basis.

All results in the current and previous years are derived from continuing operations.

Acquisitions made during 2003 contributed revenue of £9,596,000 which is included in the figures shown above. It is not possible to separately identify the profit from these operations as they have been integrated upon acquisition.
