   7       Taxation 

The tax charge is based on the expected effective tax rate of 25% for the 52 weeks to 29 July 2012 (30 January 2011: 28%).

   8       Earnings/(loss) per share 

The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the (loss)/profit after taxation by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. For diluted earnings per share the weighted average number of ordinary shares is increased to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The adjusted basic earnings per share shown below is calculated after excluding the adjustments detailed below.

The weighted number of shares of 206,925,115 is the same for all three periods. The number of dilutive shares applicable in the 52 weeks to 31 July 2011 was nil.
