Some Notes on this Section Quick Reference List Issue 6 Frequently Asked Questions The following section is organized alphabetically by topic. To see the full list of topics and questions, a Quick Reference List follows. In the following section, reference may be made to data, collected and distributed by Worldscope, but not available on the particular software platform you are using to access the database, or available in a format different to that described below. For example, many CD-Rom applications of Worldscope no longer contain sufficient storage space to house the entire company universe contained in Worldscope Global. Any queries should be referred to your data software vendor, or to the Worldscope client support desk(s) whose details have been supplied in the introductory section entitled, ‘Client Support Services’. Worldscope data items are identified below by a five-digit field number and a field name as contained in this book. These may not, in all cases, match the field names or numbers used by your data vendor. In answering some of the questions in this section, Worldscope footnotes are mentioned. Footnotes are linked by our analysts to specific data fields, and may describe corporate actions (e.g., acquisitions, capital actions) and changes year to year (e.g., name changes, year end changes, comparability of accounts) or provide explanatory notes to data items (e.g., the exclusion of a long-term portion from a current asset item). Acquisitions Is information on acquisitions available on Worldscope? (Question 1) ADRs: American Depository Receipts (See also ADR Frequently Asked Questions) How can I tell if a company trades ADRs? (2) Does Worldscope Coverage include ADRs? (39) Brazil: Share Data How does Worldscope present share data for Brazilian companies? (4) Consolidation How do I know if the company accounts are consolidated or unconsolidated in a particular year? (5) Is parent company data available on Worldscope? (6) Corporate Actions Does Worldscope adjust data for corporate actions such as stock splits, stock dividends, etc.? (7) © Thomson Financial 2003-2007 13 Confidential Information of Thomson Financial
