The adjusted earnings per Ordinary Share is shown in order to highlight the underlying performance of the Group.

Earnings per share for the discontinued operations is derived from the (loss)/profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Parent Company from discontinued operations of GBP1.0m (2011: GBP3.2m loss), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, for both basic and diluted amounts as per the table above.

The weighted average number of shares excludes shares held by an Employee Benefit Trust and has been adjusted for the issue of shares during the period. There are 9.6m dilutive share options in issue (2011: 6.2m). At the period end 0.2m anti-dilutive share awards were in issue (2011: 1.0m).

9. Dividends

The Board is not recommending the payment of an interim dividend (2011: GBPnil).

10. Property, plant and equipment

During the 26 weeks ended 27 October 2012, the Group acquired assets with a cost of GBP3.4m (2011: GBP11.6m).

Assets with a net book value of GBP0.4m were disposed of by the Group during the 26 weeks ended 27 October 2012 (2011: GBPnil), resulting in a net loss on disposal of GBP0.4m (2011: GBPnil). Investments with a net book value of GBPnil (2011: GBPnil) were disposed of by the Group, resulting in a net profit on disposal of GBPnil (2011: GBP0.4m).

11. Inventories

Inventories primarily comprise finished goods and goods for resale. The replacement cost of inventories is considered to be not materially different from the balance sheet value.

The Group has continued to extend its purchase of back catalogue inventory on a consignment basis and to develop its relationships with key suppliers. This action has resulted in a c. GBP13.5m reduction in cost of sales in the 26 weeks ended 27 October 2012 (2011: GBPnil).
