  * The 2005 to 2009 year results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The transition date to IFRS was 1 January 2004 resulting in the 2004 figures being restated to reflect IFRS adjustments. The 2003 figures have been prepared in accordance with South African statements of General Accepted Accounting Practice (SA GAAP, which was effective at 31 December 2004).
  ** The 2008 year represents 14 months and not 12 months due to the fact that Adcorp changed its year-end from December to February.
