Scott Wilson Group plc

Restated segmental analysis of historic results to reflect new 

Group management structure 

As signalled to investors at the time of its final results in June 2009 Scott Wilson Group plc ("the Group") has been working towards a revised reporting structure that is in line with the new sector facing operating structure.

The new structure has already brought improved focus on worldwide clients and markets. The Board believes that bringing the segmental reporting in line with this structure will improve investors' understanding of the Group's operations.

The trading activities of the Group are now managed through five core market-facing sectors and four overseas regions, as follows:

Roads (UK & RoW Roads);  Rail (UK & RoW Rail);  Buildings and Infrastructure (UK & RoW B&I);  Environment and Natural Resources (UK & RoW ENR);  Strategic Consultancy (UK & RoW SC);  Europe; Middle East;  India; Asia Pacific.

In order to enable investors to make future comparisons the segmental revenue and results for the 26 weeks to 26 October 2008 and 53 weeks to 3 May 2009 have been restated to reflect the new management structure. There have been no adjustments to the headline consolidated results that were reported on 9 December 2008 and 30 June 2009 respectively.
