1 Exceptional costs in 2001 included redundancy costs (4.6 million), costs of supply chain development (2.4 million) and impairment of fixed assets and goodwill (4.2 million). The exceptional costs of 4.5 million in 1999 were associated with closing unprofitable shops and an impairment review of the remaining shops in the USA.
2 Restructuring costs in 2001 and 2000 relate to the sale of manufacturing plants in Littlehampton, England, and to associated reorganization costs. Restructuring costs in 1999 arose from the realignment of the management structure of the business in the US and the UK.
3 Other assets in 2001 and 2000 represented receivables relating to the sale of the company's Littlehampton manufacturing plant.
4 Other liabilities included mostly deferred taxes.
