The purpose of making such restated data available to the market is to provide data which will be comparable in all material respects with future results to be disclosed on a 12 months to 30 June basis. All data presented has been prepared in accordance with Australian generally accepted accounting principles and accounting policies applying to each period, except for year ended 30 June 1996 & 1997 which have been restated to reflect adoption of AASB 1033: Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments. Adoption of this standard resulted in certain redeemable preference shares which exhibited the characteristics of liabilities being reclassified from outside equity interests to borrowings.
