2005/6 Comparable Results

Tesco PLC
05 January 2007


                                    TESCO PLC
                 COMPARABLE 2005/6 PRELIMINARY INCOME STATEMENT
                                        
As previously announced, as part of the move to harmonise UK and International
year-ends, Tesco has moved the International reporting period by nearly two
months, from the twelve months ending 31st December to the 52 weeks ending in
the last week of February.

In response to investor and analyst feedback, and consistent with our approach
to the Interim results reported last September, we are today issuing a summary
Income Statement for the last full financial year (covering the 52 weeks to 25th
February 2006) to provide a comparable base for the Group's Preliminary Results
announcement in April 2007.

Our new underlying profit measure, deducting the non-cash elements of
International Financial Reporting Standards, was introduced in April 2006. In
line with this, Tesco now reports segmental trading profit, allowing investors
to see the performance of each region before property-related profits and the
non-cash element of the IAS19 pensions charge. The 2005/6 summary Income
Statement released today provides last year's numbers on a comparable basis and
shows how these will appear in April's preliminary results announcement.

This document and the summary Income Statement are available on the company's
website at www.tesco.com/investor.
