48. Restatement of cash flow statements

The Group cash flow statements for the years ended 31 December 2005 and 2004 and the company cash flow statement for the year ended 31 December 2005 have been restated to correct an inadvertent error in the calculation of the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. No other caption is affected and the amount of cash and cash equivalents is unchanged.

The tables below show the effect of the restatements:
