3ROSS PROFIT AND OPERATIN OSTS
RESEARH AND MARKET SUPPORT OSTS
Expenditure on research and market support, such as advertising, is charged to the income statement as incurred.
NONORE ITEMS
Disclosed on the face of the income statement are costs and revenues relating to business disposals, acquisition and disposal
related costs, impairments and other one-off items, which we collectively term non-core items due to their nature and frequency of
occurrence. These items are material in terms of nature and/or amount and are relevant to an understanding of our financial
performance.
Business disposals generate both gains and losses which are not reflective of underlying performance. Acquisition and disposal
related costs are charges directly attributable to the acquisition or disposal of group companies.
