BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
In FY 2011/12, Burberry delivered revenue up 24% and adjusted profit before tax up 26%, balanced by channel, region and product division.
The strong foundation that Burberry has built in recent years will enable sustained, profitable growth over the long term, as much of the investment shifts to drive the front end of the business, especially in flagship markets, digital innovation and customer insight.
Looking forward to FY 2012/13, while vigilant about the external environment, Burberry plans to continue to invest to drive growth. While the phasing of revenue and investment is expected to lead to retail/wholesale operating margin being lower in the six months to September 2012 than in the same period last year, Burberry expects to deliver a further modest improvement in the retail/wholesale operating margin in the full year.
Leverage the franchise
· Burberry continued to extend its reach and impact through innovative marketing, leveraging its brand content to engage and connect with consumers globally. On Burberry World (burberry.com), traffic and revenue were up double-digit. Burberry continued to advance its leading position on social media in the luxury sector, doubling the number of Facebook fans to 12 million at the year end, extending its presence on key Chinese social media platforms and launching new initiatives like Tweetwalk. With a focus on flagships markets, Burberry increased investment in outdoor advertising at key transport hubs and iconic urban locations.
· Outerwear remained a primary growth driver in both retail and wholesale, driven by product innovation, core replenishment and digital marketing. Art of the Trench, Burberry's social media platform, the runway shows and Burberry Bespoke all featured or led with outerwear, keeping it top of mind with consumers.
· Menswear is a significant growth opportunity for Burberry, given its heritage. New initiatives such as tailoring, range intensification, retail merchandising, specialised service modules and increased mens only marketing all contributed to the performance. Menswear grew by 26% underlying and represented 24% of retail/wholesale revenue.
Intensify non-apparel
· Non-apparel grew by 22% underlying to remain Burberry's largest product division at 39% of retail/wholesale revenue. Replenishment ended the year at around 60% of mainline non-apparel sales.
· Large leather goods remained around half of mainline non-apparel sales, helped by innovation in design, materials and shapes.
· Burberry continued to unlock the potential of global product licences. The launch of the Burberry Body fragrance was supported by a synchronised global marketing campaign across all platforms and regions.
· Men's non-apparel sales increased by over 50% in mainline retail, with growth broadly spread across large leather goods, small leather goods and soft accessories. Men's non-apparel already accounts for around 25% of total non-apparel sales ordered through burberry.com - a higher proportion than in-store.
Accelerate retail-led growth
· With 31% underlying growth, retail accounted for 68% of revenue in the full year (72% in the second half). Investment was increasingly concentrated in the flagship markets, which benefit from a high net worth local population and the travelling luxury consumer. Together, these flagship markets accounted for approaching 60% of mainline revenue.
· Burberry continued to evolve its store portfolio, opening 23 mainline stores and 25 concessions during the year, while closing 10 and 16 respectively. The openings included the first larger format stores in Hong Kong, Paris and Taipei to better showcase the brand, product and digital innovation.
About a net 15 mainline stores are planned to open in FY 2012/13, biased towards larger format stores. These include the new, relocated store in Regent Street, London, the rebuilt store in Chicago and Pacific Place in Hong Kong. Capital expenditure for FY 2012/13 is planned at £180-200m (2012: £153m).
· Burberry increased retail productivity, with comparable store sales growth of 14%. Better assortment planning, strong execution of monthly floorsets synchronised across all channels, improved replenishment processes and further investment in global customer service all contributed.
Invest in under-penetrated markets
· Burberry completed the integration of its Chinese operations, following the acquisition in September 2010. Continued progress was made in developing the capabilities of the central team, enhancing merchandising, marketing (including social media) and store service levels, while implementing SAP and evolving the store portfolio.
Comparable store sales growth for the year was well over 20%, with the fourth quarter lower as the business started to anniversary the benefits of the new practices implemented post acquisition. At the year end, Burberry had 63 stores in mainland China, accounting for about 12% of group retail/wholesale revenue.
· Burberry continues to invest in high growth luxury markets, with three directly-operated stores in Brazil, two in Mexico and seven in India. These markets are still in investment phase. Between five to ten new stores are planned for Central and Latin America in FY 2012/13, with further strengthening of the brand presence and operational capabilities.
· Americas wholesale is currently 8% of group retail/wholesale revenue. With strong brand momentum, Burberry is in investment phase, opening more brand-enhancing, dedicated shop-in-shops in key US department stores.
Pursue operational excellence
· With the global implementation of the SAP platform nearly completed, Burberry is leveraging its technology investment to drive productivity and efficiency through improved reporting, assortment planning, procurement and replenishment processes, aided by further investment in functional modules. Burberry is also building a customer insight platform.
· Burberry has further invested in its manufacturing and logistics capabilities. For example, a new European distribution hub was opened in Italy to improve speed of delivery and energy efficiency, while reducing cost per unit.
· Working with key technology partners, Burberry continues to invest in a social enterprise platformto enable it to connect better all the constituencies around the brand.

Revenue from continuing operations was £1,857m, an increase of 23% on an underlying basis.
Retail
68% of revenue (2011: 64%); generated from 192 mainline stores, 208 concessions within department stores, digital commerce and 44 outlets
· Retail sales increased by 31% on an underlying basis (32% at reported FX)
· Comparable store sales growth was 14% (H1: 16%; H2 12%)
· The acquired stores in China contributed 6% of the 31% underlying growth, up to the anniversary of their acquisition from 1 September 2010
· The balance of growth (11%) came from new space
· Average retail selling space increased by 14%, with the acquired Chinese stores contributing an additional 5% space
In mainline stores in the year, growth was balanced, with double-digit increases in all regions and product divisions, underpinned by core outerwear and large leather goods, which accounted for about half of sales. The penetration of replenishment styles remained at about 50% of mainline revenue. New merchandising strategies gained traction, including knitwear and men's tailoring (doubling in the year from a small base).
Burberry London and Prorsum accounted for around 45% of mainline apparel revenue (2011: 40%). Average selling prices continued to increase due to product mix, pricing increases and better full price sell-through. Digital commerce sales, including via iPads in store, continued to outperform.
There was double-digit growth in mainline comparable store sales in all four regions.
Asia Pacific
Retail accounted for about 85% of Asia Pacific revenue, including a full year's contribution from the Chinese stores acquired in September 2010.
There was double-digit comparable store sales growth in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, while the Korean market was soft. Burberry's small retail operations in Japan selling the global non-apparel collection made solid progress.
Europe
Retail accounted for about two-thirds of Europe revenue. There was double-digit mainline comparable stores sales growth in the UK, France and Germany, especially in flagship markets. Southern Europe, especially Italy, remained weak.
Americas
Retail accounted for about two-thirds of Americas revenue, with double-digit comparable store sales growth in the year. Space was added mainly in Brazil and Mexico, while continuing to rationalise and upgrade US outlets.
Rest of World
Retail accounted for just over half of revenue for Rest of World. The largest contributor was Burberry Middle East with 17 stores in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Qatar. These delivered double-digit comparable store sales growth during the year, with some slowdown in the fourth quarter. Five franchise stores in Saudi Arabia were transferred into a subsidiary in which Burberry has a 60% stake. The business in India, which has seven stores, continued to perform strongly.
Wholesale
26% of revenue (2011: 29%); generated from sales to department stores, multi-brand specialty accounts, Emerging Market franchisees and Travel Retail
· Wholesale revenue increased by 8% underlying (9% at reported FX)
· Excluding China, underlying growth was 14% (H1: 20%; H2: 7%)
· Outerwear and consistent execution of monthly floorsets drove growth
Wholesale revenue growth was affected by the conversion from wholesale to retail of the China operations, the five Saudi Arabia stores and Spanish menswear; as well as the acceleration of the planned rationalisation of the brand's distribution in the United States and Europe, especially in the second half of the year. Adjusting for all these factors, underlying growth for the year would have been over 20% rather than 8%.
Asia Pacific
The majority of wholesale revenue in Asia Pacific is Travel Retail which had another year of good growth, partly reflecting increased tourism within flagship markets in the region.
Europe
Europe remains Burberry's largest wholesale region, accounting for about 40% of group wholesale revenue. Outperformance with key department store and other partners has more than compensated for the continued rationalisation of small, non brand-enhancing specialty accounts.
Americas
Wholesale growth in the Americas exceeded 20% in the year, excluding the impact of the accelerated rationalisation of the brand's distribution. With the move from generic outerwear departments near completion, upgrading real estate within the key department stores to support the brand's segmentation is a core strategy. Around 30 dedicated shop-in-shops were opened, bringing the total to over 80.
Rest of World
Wholesale revenue in Rest of World, which is mainly to franchise partners, saw strong growth, especially in the two largest markets of Turkey and Russia.
At the year end, Burberry had 57 franchise stores, up by a net one during the year. Five stores in Saudi Arabia were transferred to retail, with franchise stores opened in markets as diverse as Thailand, South Africa and Croatia.
Licensing
6% of revenue (2011: 7%); of which approximately two-thirds from Japan (split roughly three-quarters apparel and one-quarter from various short-term, mainly non-apparel, licences), with the balance from global product licences (fragrance, eyewear and timepieces) and European wholesale childrenswear
· Licensing revenue in the year increased by 5% on an underlying basis (up 10% at reported FX)
· Consistent with full year guidance
At constant exchange rates, royalty income from Japan was broadly unchanged from last year. Income from the apparel licence increased in line with the 2009 renegotiation. This enabled further non-renewals of short-term non-apparel licences, reducing profit by about £7m.
Burberry continued to unlock the potential of its global licence products, with 20% growth in royalty income. This was led by the Burberry Body - Burberry's most successful fragrance launch to date. The innovative global digital and outdoor advertising campaign that supported the fragrance gave the brand unprecedented visibility across all its major markets. Further progress was also made on aligning the product and distribution of eyewear and watches more closely with Burberry's luxury positioning.
Discussions continue between Burberry and Interparfums regarding the potential establishment of a new operating model for the Burberry fragrance and beauty business.

Retail/wholesale adjusted operating profit grew by 31% to £286.9m. Burberry, as guided, dynamically managed gross margin and operating expenses to enable further investment in the business while modestly improving the operating margin - up 80 basis points to 16.4%. The improvement in the operating margin was second half weighted (H1: up 10bp; H2 up 130bp) reflecting the phasing of investment and costs and the higher absolute revenue base in the second half than the first half.
Gross margin for the year increased by 320 basis points to 68.1%. The key drivers were the conversion of China from wholesale to retail, its subsequent outperformance, benefits from pricing and sourcing and further channel and regional mix shifts.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 51.7%, reflecting the shift to retail. As well as general inflation, the increase in operating expenses is attributable to investment in three key areas:
· New space;
· New markets, especially China until the anniversary of the acquisition in September 2011, as well as Saudi Arabia, Central and Latin America and India; and
· Central functions to support the growth and momentum in the business. Investment was increased in areas such as marketing, client services, customer insight and IT.

The China put option liability finance charge relates to the fair value movement on the put option liability over the non-controlling interest in the acquired Chinese business. In 2012, the charge was £10.2m (2011: £3.2m) which has been treated as an exceptional item.

In 2012, the £2.5m operating profit from the discontinued Spanish operations was offset by restructuring costs, including a further write-down of freehold assets held for sale.
Total restructuring cash spend was £8.6m.
Taxation
In FY 2011/12, Burberry had a tax charge of £101m (2011: £83m), giving a tax rate on adjusted profit of 26.7% (2011: 27.9%).
The tax rate on adjusted profit for FY 2012/13 is currently expected to be between 25-26%.
Net cashflow
Net cash at 31 March 2012 was £338m, up from £298m at 31 March 2011. The Group funded £153m of capital expenditure and £24m relating to the China and Saudi Arabia acquisitions. Other major outflows were tax (£108m), dividends (£99m) and the purchase of shares by the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) Trust to satisfy historic share scheme awards (£61m).
Capital expenditure at £153m (2011: £108m) was below guidance, reflecting the timing of payments especially on the larger projects. The spend was biased towards larger format new stores and refurbishments, which accounted for about 25% of the total in 2012, compared to around 10% for 2011.
Inventory at 31 March 2012 was £311m (2011: £248m), an increase of 25% year-on-year. Over half of the growth was to support new stores, with the balance largely reflecting increased replenishment and stock in transit due to shipping by sea.
2012/13 outlook
Retail
In the year to 31 March 2013, Burberry plans a 12-14% increase in average retail selling space, with a shift from smaller to larger format stores. Burberry expects to open about a net 15 mainline stores, biased towards Emerging Markets and flagship markets with high tourist inflows.
Wholesale
In the six months to 30 September 2012, Burberry projects underlying wholesale revenue to increase by a mid single-digit percentage, despite further rationalisation of the brand's distribution in both Europe and the United States. Double-digit percentage growth is again expected in key US department store doors, Emerging Markets franchise partners and Asia Travel Retail.
Licensing
In the year to 31 March 2013, Burberry expects licensing revenue at constant and reported exchange rates to be broadly unchanged year-on-year. The global product licences are again expected to deliver double-digit percentage underlying growth. This will be offset by the planned termination and downsizing of Japanese non-apparel licences.

In FY 2012/13, Burberry plans to continue to invest in areas such as new stores, marketing and IT to drive growth. While the phasing of revenue and investment is expected to lead to retail/wholesale operating margin being lower in the six months to 30 September 2012 than in the same period last year, Burberry expects to deliver a further modest improvement in the retail/wholesale operating margin in the year to 31 March 2013.
Capital expenditure
For FY 2012/13, Burberry is planning capital expenditure of between £180-200m. This will be focused on retail expansion, with about one-third of the spend planned in larger format stores, including Regent Street, London, Chicago and Pacific Place, Hong Kong.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of preparation
The financial information contained within this report has been prepared in accordance with EU endorsed International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations and parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. This financial information does not constitute the Burberry Group's (the Group) Annual Report and Accounts within the meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies, and those for 2012 will be delivered in due course. The reports of the auditors on those statutory accounts for years ended 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2012 were unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain a statement under either section 400(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those set out in the statutory accounts for 2010/11.
2. Segmental analysis
The Chief Operating Decision Maker has been identified as the Board of Directors. The Board reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports used by the Board.
The Board considers Burberry's business through its two channels to market, being Retail/Wholesale and Licensing. Retail/Wholesale revenues are generated by the sale of luxury goods through Burberry mainline stores, concessions, outlets and digital commerce as well as Burberry franchisees, prestige department stores globally and multi-brand specialty accounts.
The flow of global product between Retail and Wholesale channels and across our regions is monitored and optimised at a corporate level and implemented via the Group's inventory hubs situated in Asia, Europe and the US. Licensing revenues are generated through the receipt of royalties from Burberry's partners in Japan and global licensees of fragrances, eyewear, timepieces and European childrenswear.
The Board assesses channel performance based on a measure of adjusted operating profit. This measurement basis excludes the effects of exceptional items. The measure of earnings for each operating segment that is reviewed by the Board includes an allocation of corporate and central costs. Interest income and charges are not included in the result for each operating segment that is reviewed by the Board.

Auditor remuneration
Fees incurred during the year in relation to audit and non-audit services are analysed below. All work performed by the external auditors is controlled by an authorisation policy agreed by the Audit Committee. The overriding principle precludes the auditors from engaging in non-audit services that would compromise their independence. Non-audit services are provided by the auditors where they are best placed to provide the service due to their previous experience or market leadership in a particular area.

The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually or where there is an indication that goodwill might be impaired. The recoverable amount of all cash generating units has been determined on a value-in-use basis. Value-in-use calculations for each cash generating unit are based on projected three year pre-tax discounted cash flows together with a discounted terminal value. The cash flows have been discounted at pre-tax rates reflecting the Group's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for country specific tax rates and risks. Where the cash generating unit has a non-controlling interest which was recognised as its proportionate interest in the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the acquisition date, the carrying amount of the goodwill has been grossed up, to include the goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interest, for the purpose of impairment testing the goodwill attributable to the cash generating unit. The key assumptions contained in the value-in-use calculations include the future revenues, the margins achieved, the assumed life of the business and the discount rates applied.
The value-in-use calculations for the initial review have been prepared using management's approved financial plans for the year ending 31 March 2013 as the source for the first year cash flow. These plans contain management's best view of the expected performance for the year ended 31 March 2013, based on the performance achieved in the current year and management's knowledge of the market environment and future business plans.
In China and Korea, which contain the most material goodwill balances, the cash flows included in the value-in-use calculation for the following two years and for the terminal value have assumed no growth beyond that contained within the financial plan for the year ending 31 March 2013. The Group carries out an initial review for indication of impairment using conservative growth assumptions beyond the first year cash flow. Should this initial review indicate that impairment may have arisen, a further review will be carried out, using more detailed assumptions, to confirm and then quantify any potential impairment. This approach is considered appropriate by management due to the amount of headroom between recoverable amount and carrying value of goodwill at present.
The adjusted weighted average cost of capital rates for China and Korea were 14.4% and 12.5% respectively (2011: 13.5%; 14.1%).
No impairment has been recognised in respect of the carrying value of the goodwill balance in the year as, for each cash generating unit, the recoverable amount of goodwill exceeds its carrying value.
As the initial review using conservative assumptions does not indicate that impairment may have arisen, management do not consider it appropriate to conduct a further sensitivity analysis because a reasonably possible change in assumptions would not result in an impairment.

(1) Included in fixtures, fittings and equipment are finance lease assets with a net book value of £2.0m (2011: £2.3m).
(2) During the current year, £18.6m of assets have been reclassified from fixtures and fittings to leasehold improvements as this is more representative of the nature of these assets. There is no impact on the depreciation charge for the year as a result of this reclassification.
During the year to 31 March 2012, a net impairment charge of £3.8m (2011: £nil) was identified as part of the annual impairment review.
Where indicators of impairment were identified, the impairment review compared the value-in-use of the assets to the carrying values at 31 March 2012. The pre-tax cash flow projections were based on financial plans approved by management and extrapolated beyond the budget year to the lease exit dates using growth rates and inflation rates appropriate to each country's economic conditions. The pre-tax discount rates used in these calculations were between 10.8% and 16.7% (2011: between 12.2% and 18.5%), based on the Group's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for country-specific tax rates and risks.

Of the non-current deposits and prepayments balance, £16.3m (2011: £10.4m) is due within five years from the balance sheet date, with the remainder due at various stages after this. The entire balance is non-interest bearing.
The individually impaired receivables relate to balances with trading parties which have passed their payment due dates or where uncertainty exists over recoverability. As at 31 March 2012, trade receivables of £28.0m (2011: £18.4m) were impaired. The amount of the provision against these receivables was £7.6m as of 31 March 2012 (2011: £12.1m). It was assessed that a portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered. Individually impaired receivables of £2.1m (2011: £3.7m) relate to the discontinued Spanish operations.

Following the acquisition of the Burberry retail and distribution business in China, Sparkle Roll Holdings Limited, a non-Group company, retains a 15% economic interest in the Group's business in China. Put and call options exist over this interest stake which are exercisable after 5 years from acquisition date in the case of the call option, and 10 years from acquisition date in the case of the put option. The net present value of the put option has been recognised as a non-current financial liability under IAS 39.
The key assumptions in arriving at the fair value of the put option are the future performance of both the Group's business in China and the future performance of the Group, the Burberry Group plc market capitalisation at the date of exercise and the risk free rate in China.
The maturity of the other non-current creditors, accruals and deferred income, all of which do not bear interest, is as follows:

The non-current provisions relate to provisions for onerous leases and property reinstatement costs which are expected to be utilised within 18 years. Of the total restructuring provision of £3.5m (2011: £13.6m), £3.3m (2011: £13.4m) represents a current liability. The majority of this relates to the closure of the Spanish operations. The £0.2m (2011: £0.2m) non-current portion relates to onerous leases.

On 28 March 2011, a £300m multi-currency revolving credit facility was agreed with a syndicate of third party banks. At 31 March 2012, there were no outstanding drawings (2011: £nil). Interest is charged on this facility at LIBOR plus 0.90% on drawings less than £100m, at LIBOR plus 1.05% on drawings between £100m and £200m and at LIBOR plus 1.20% on drawings over £200m. The facility matures on 30 June 2016.
On 1 October 2010, a Yen 145m bilateral facility was agreed with a third party bank. At 31 March 2012, the amount drawn down was Yen 100.8m (2011: Yen 100.8m). Interest is charged on this facility at the Japanese short-term prime rate plus 0.5%. The facility matures on 30 September 2012. The undrawn facility at 31 March 2012 was Yen 44.2m.
Other borrowings relate to a loan provided by a minority interest partner totalling £0.5m due to mature on 8 November 2012. Interest is charged on this loan at the Japanese short-term prime rate plus 0.5%.
The fair value of borrowings and overdrafts approximates the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments.

At 31 March 2012, 30,027 of the 0.05p ordinary shares in issue are held as treasury shares (2011: 77,215).
The Company has a general authority from shareholders, renewed at each Annual General Meeting, to repurchase a maximum of 10% of its issued share capital. During the year to 31 March 2012, no ordinary shares were repurchased by the Company under this authority (2011: nil).
The cost of own shares held by the Group has been offset against retained earnings, as the amounts paid reduce the profits available for distribution by the Company. As at 31 March 2012 the amounts offset against this reserve are £41.9m (2011: £2.8m). In the year to 31 March 2012 the Burberry Group plc ESOP trust has waived its entitlement to dividends of £0.2m (2011: £nil).
During the year profits of £5.0m (2011: £1.7m) have been transferred to capital reserves due to statutory requirements of subsidiaries. The capital reserve consists of non-distributable reserves and the capital redemption reserve arising on the purchase of own shares.

Year ended 31 March 2012
Burberry Saudi Company Limited
On 19 June 2011, the Group formed Burberry Saudi Company Limited (Burberry Saudi), a company registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with Fawaz Abdulaziz Alhokair & Co SLSC, a third party company registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Burberry Saudi will manage the Burberry retail business within the Saudi Arabian market.
Burberry has a 60% interest in the issued share capital of the company, the majority of the voting rights and the power to appoint the majority of the directors. Burberry Saudi has been consolidated as a subsidiary as at 31 March 2012. The non-controlling interest in the consolidated net assets of this company has been identified as a separate component of equity.
On 19 June 2011, the distribution agreement with the existing franchise partner in Saudi Arabia expired, and Burberry Saudi acquired the Burberry retail business from that franchisee.

The goodwill arising on the acquisition, which is included within intangible assets, is attributable to the acquisition of the Saudi Arabian business assets and the benefits expected from further expansion in this region. The goodwill recognised relates to equity attributable to the owners of the company and to non-controlling interest and is not tax deductible.

The Group incurred transaction costs of £0.1m in respect of the acquisition.
The acquired Saudi Arabian retail assets generated revenues of £9.1m and a profit of £2.7m to the Group for the period from acquisition to 31 March 2012.
Pro forma full year information
Had the acquisition occurred on 1 April 2011, it would have contributed approximately £1.8m of Group revenue in addition to that noted above, while the Group operating profit impact in addition to that noted above would have been neutral for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Year ended 31 March 2011
Burberry (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd
On 16 July 2010, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire the Burberry retail and distribution business within China from its distributor in Hong Kong, Kwok Hang Holdings Ltd. The acquisition allows the Group to further leverage its proven brand in China's high growth luxury market.
On 1 September 2010, Burberry (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd, a wholly owned Group company incorporated in the People's Republic of China, took control of key store assets and inventory across 50 retail stores. Daily operations at 43 of the stores fully transferred to the Group on that date. The remaining 7 stores had all transferred daily operations by 31 January 2011.

22. Translation of the results of overseas businesses
The results of overseas subsidiaries are translated into the Group's presentation currency of Sterling each month at the weighted average exchange rate for the month according to the phasing of the Group's trading results. The weighted average exchange rate is used, as it is considered to approximate the actual exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The assets and liabilities of such undertakings are translated at the year end exchange rates. Differences arising on the retranslation of the opening net investment in subsidiary companies, and on the translation of their results, are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
The principal exchange rates used were as follows:

23. Adjusted profit before taxation and exceptional items
Exceptional items include those items that are largely one-off and material in nature. Fair value movements on options held over equity interests, which are held for the purpose of future business developments, rather than speculative purposes, are also considered to be exceptional items and are separately presented in the Income Statement. These items are added back/deducted from profit/loss before taxation to arrive at adjusted profit/loss before taxation. These items and their related tax impacts are added back/deducted from profit attributable to equity holders of the Company to arrive at adjusted earnings per share. These measures are disclosed in order to provide additional consideration of the underlying performance of the Group's ongoing business. Details of exceptional items are disclosed in note 4.
