Notes:
(a) The analysis of turnover by geographical area is stated on the basis of origin. Turnover on a destination basis would not
be materially different. Inter-segment sales between operational segments and between geographical areas are not material. For
the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, the combined turnover was Fl. 10 996 million (1998: Fl. 10 846 million) and the
combined operating profit was Fl. 1 589 million (1998: Fl. 2 916 million).
(b) Group share of the turnover of joint ventures was Fl. 628 million (1998: Fl. 445 million) of which Fl. 200 million
(1998: Fl. 192 million) was in Europe. These figures are not included in the analysis above.
(c) Net operating assets are goodwill and intangible assets purchased after 1 January 1998, tangible fixed assets, stocks and debtors
less trade and other creditors (excluding taxation and dividends) and less provisions for liabilities and charges other than deferred
taxation and deferred purchase consideration. 1998 has been restated to include goodwill and intangible assets.
(d) 1998 included the profit on disposal of Plant Breeding International.
