The share of results from joint ventures and associates for the year ended 31 December 2002 and 31 December 2003, presented under UK GAAP, in the above table, is shown before interest, taxation and minority interests.

With effect from 1 January 2004, we reverted to equity accounting for our 36% stake in KAPCO and now account for it as an associate. KAPCO had previously been accounted for as a trade investment with dividend receipts recorded in income from investments. To aid comparability the dividends received in 2003 and 2002 have been included in the share of results of joint ventures and associates in the above table.
