2. The Corporate Activity and Adjustments column includes those income statement items and assets and liabilities arising in the normal course of business, but which are not allocated to other segments. These are predominantly items which are reported on the parent company balance sheet or are adjustments arising upon consolidation, which primarily relate to the elimination of intercompany transactions.

3. The Group additionally has auxiliary activities which do not fall within the main business segments, such as portfolio held companies and companies undertaking agricultural activities, although these activities account for less than 5% and are insufficient so as to warrant a further business segment. As such, these activities are grouped together within the most appropriate Business Segment column (Bioenergy and Corporate Activity).
