events and conditions.   The company assumes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements or information except as required by law.    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION   This Investor Presentation contains financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting practices   in the United States (US GAAP) and
should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent US GAAP measure.  Management has included such   measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of
its ongoing   operations.  Additionally, management uses such
non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not   prepared in accordance with US GAAP, may not be reported by all of the companys competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly
titled measures of  competitors due to potential differences in the exact
method of calculation.  For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in   this Investor Presentation, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent US GAAP measure, see the sections
titled Definition   and Other Terms and Non-US GAAP
Financial Measures included in the companys Managements Analysis of Results for the fourth quarter and twelve months   ended 31 March 2015.    |
