Notes |
|
|
|
(1) |
For the purposes of these ratios, earnings consist of profit before tax, less the unremitted income of joint ventures and associates plus fixed charges. Unremitted income is calculated as the share of profits / losses from joint ventures and associates less dividends received. |
|
|
(2) |
The profit before tax for 2008 and 2007 was restated in 2009 to show the impact of amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, which was adopted in the Groups 2009 consolidated financial statements, as disclosed in note 1 on page F-11 of the Groups 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F. |
|
|
(3) |
Interest expensed and capitalised includes the amortisation of debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums and includes interest expense from the banking book included within interest and similar expense as well as interest expense from the trading book included within other operating income. |
|
|
(4) |
Fixed charges consist of total interest expensed and capitalised plus an estimate for the proportion of rental expenses deemed to represent interest cost. This has been estimated at 30% of rental expenses, as a reasonable approximation of the interest factor. |
|
|
(5) |
There are no preference shares accounted for as equity; all preference shares being accounted for as debt and therefore preference share dividends are already included within interest costs. As a result, the ratios calculated using fixed charges and combined fixed charges plus preference dividends are the same. |
