NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2006
1 Basis of preparation
The preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2006 are an abridged
statement of the full Annual Report, which was approved by the Board of
Directors on 30 May 2006. The Auditors' Report on these accounts was unqualified
and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or 237(3) of the Companies
Act 1985. The preliminary results do not comprise statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 240 of the UK Companies Act 1985. The Annual Report for the
year ended 31 March 2006 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies
following the Company's Annual General Meeting, to be held on 25 July 2006.
The preliminary results are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ('IFRS') (including International Accounting Standards
('IAS') and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board ('IASB') and its committees, and as interpreted by any regulatory bodies
applicable to the Group) as adopted for use in the European Union ('EU'), the
Companies Act 1985 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulations. Financial information
for the year ended 31 March 2005, presented as comparative figures in this
report, has been restated from UK GAAP in accordance with IFRS as adopted for
use in the EU. The Group has adopted the Amendments to IAS 21, 'The Effect of
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates', with effect from 1 April 2004, being the
date of transition to IFRS for the Group.
The preparation of the preliminary results requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if
the revision affects both current and future periods.

========= =======
Germany and Italy
The carrying value of goodwill of the Group's mobile operations in Germany and
Italy, with each representing a reportable segment, has been impaired due to
Vodafone having revised its view of medium to longer term prospects for these
businesses given certain developments in the current market environment.
The German market has seen recent intensification in price competition,
principally from new market entrants, together with high levels of penetration
and continued regulated reductions in incoming call rates.
In Italy, competitive pressures are increasing with the mobile network operators
competing aggressively on subsidies and, increasingly, on price.
Sweden
The impairment of the carrying value of goodwill in relation to Vodafone Sweden
in the year to 31 March 2006 resulted from fierce competition in the Swedish
market combined with onerous 3G licence obligations. Vodafone Sweden represents
the Group's entire business operation in Sweden and forms part of the Group's
Other Mobile Operations, which is a reportable segment. The recoverable amount
of Vodafone Sweden was based on the fair value less costs to sell, reflecting
the announcement on 31 October 2005 that the Group's 100% interest in Vodafone
Sweden was to be sold. The sale completed on 5 January 2006 with net cash
proceeds, after assumption of net debt by the purchaser, of €953 million (£653
million).
