  1. In 2005, the Group's beverage business in Europe was classified as discontinued operations. In 2006, the Group completed the disposal of the South African beverage business. As these disposals were part of the Group's strategic decision to exit beverages outside the Americas and Australia, they have also been classified as discontinued operations. In 2008, the Group completed the demerger of the Americas Beverages business and in December 2008 the Group announced it had signed a conditional agreement to sell the Australia Beverages business (previously reported within the Asia Pacific segment). These businesses have been classified as discontinued operations. This has required the re-presentation of the 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 financial statements on a comparable basis.
  2. During 2007, the Group reorganised its confectionery regions and split the former EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region into two regions, BIMA (Britain, Ireland, Middle East and Africa) and Europe. The segmental information above has been re-presented on a consistent basis.
  3. The Group has re-presented its segmental analysis for the comparative 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 financial information to allocate certain global Supply Chain, Commercial and Scientific and Technology costs, which directly support the regions to the regional operating segments as this is consistent with the way in which the chief operating decision maker reviews the results of the operating segments.
