Footnotes

To assist with the understanding of earnings trends, the Group has included within its published statements trading profit and underlying earnings results. Trading profit and underlying earnings have been defined to exclude the impacts of certain acquisition related charges, portfolio restructuring costs, the mark-to-market of currency instruments not realised in the period and impairments of goodwill. Acquisition related charges excluded from trading profit and underlying earnings include the amortisation of intangible assets recognised on acquisition, such as customer relationships, technology and software and the like, the writing off of the pre-acquisition profit element of inventory written up on acquisition and costs charged post acquisition, which relate to purchasing the shares of acquired companies. Portfolio restructuring costs comprise exceptional profits arising on business divestments, completed in prior years, which have funded exceptional costs associated with the restructuring of the Group's business and site integrations. Both the divestments and the integration activity originate from the Group's strategy announcement in September 2005.
On continuing operations.
Operating cash flow is defined as cash generated from operations, adjusted for cash flows from the purchase or disposal of fixed assets. Operating cash conversion is defined as operating cash flow as a percentage of trading profit, excluding profit from joint ventures.
Cobham's Technology Divisions comprise Cobham Avionics and Surveillance, Cobham Defence Systems and Cobham Mission Systems.
Throughout this document, PV (Private Venture or company funded Research and Development expenditure) for 2008 and the PV Key Performance Indicator medium term target have been restated on a proforma basis to take account of the 2008 SPARTA (now Cobham Analytic Solutions) acquisition, where the vast majority of Research and Development is funded by customers. These numbers are stated on the same basis as the 2009 result.
