Further information<br />
Group's management assesses that the amendment will not have a significant<br />
impact on the consolidated profit. The revised standard has not yet<br />
been endorsed by the European Union.<br />
IAS 27 (revised), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.<br />
The revised standard requires that all transactions with non-controlling<br />
interests be recorded in equity if there is no change in control. Consequently,<br />
minority transactions will no longer result in the recognition of<br />
goodwill or profit or loss in the income statement. The standard also<br />
specifies the accounting for transactions when control is transferred.<br />
The Group's management estimates that the change will have an impact<br />
in possible business arrangement situations. The revised standard has<br />
not yet been endorsed by the European Union.<br />
IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective from accounting<br />
periods beginning after 1 July 2008). The interpretation will be applied to<br />
the recognition and measurement of refunds linked to customer loyalty<br />
systems. Presently the Group recognises the expenditure of customer<br />
loyalty programmes in other operating expenses. The Group's management<br />
assesses that the interpretation will impact the Group's net sales,<br />
but the impact will not be material. The interpretation will not impact<br />
the Group's operating profit. The interpretation has not yet been<br />
endorsed by the European Union.<br />
IFRIC 14, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding<br />
Requirements and Their Interaction. The interpretation applies to the<br />
extent to which the excess of a defined benefit plan can be recognised.<br />
The Group's management assesses that the interpretation will not be relevant<br />
to the Group's financial statements. The interpretation has not yet<br />
been endorsed by the European Union.<br />

Segment information<br />
In segment reporting, a business segment has been determined as the<br />
primary reporting format and a geographical segment as the secondary<br />
reporting format. Business segments are based on the Group's internal<br />
organisation and internal financial reporting.<br />
The basis of inter-segment pricing is fair market price.<br />
The segment income statement is disclosed down to operating profit.<br />
Segment assets and liabilities consist of items used by the segment in its<br />
operating activities, or items justifiably allocated to segments. Segment<br />
assets comprise intangible assets including goodwill, tangible assets,<br />
inventories, trade receivables and deferred revenue and other accruals<br />
linked to operating activities. Segment liabilities consist of trade payables,<br />
accrued liabilities and provisions linked to operating activities. The<br />
Group's real estate assets and their revenue and costs have been allocated<br />
to the segments. The division parent companies have profit responsibility<br />
for real estate during their whole lifecycles.<br />
The Group changed its business segment classification with effect<br />
from the beginning of the <strong>2007</strong> accounting period. The change was due<br />
to the reorganisation of the home and speciality goods chains. Consequently,<br />
these companies are accounted for as separate entities. The<br />
information for the comparison <strong>year</strong> has been modified to correspond to<br />
the new segment classification.<br />
