auditors have reported on the Group's statutory accounts for the each of the years ended 27 April 2014 and 28 April 2013
which do not contain any statement under s498 of the Companies Act 2006 and are unqualified. The statutory accounts for the
year ended 28 April 2013 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the statutory accounts for the year ended 27
April 2014 will be filed with the registrar in due course. 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted for use in the European Union
(including International Accounting Standards ("IAS") and International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations
Committee ("IFRSiC") interpretations) and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting
under IFRS as adopted for use in the European Union. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention, as modified to include fair valuation of certain financial assets and derivative financial
instruments. 
 
IAS19 (revised) 'Employee Benefits' has been adopted in the financial year. The revised standard replaces the expected
return on plan assets and the interest cost on liabilities with a net interest expense calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability. In addition, administration costs on pension funds are now recognised
in the profit or loss when administration services are performed. The revised standard has retrospective application. The
adoption of the revised standard has resulted in the following changes: 
 
Income Statement: 
 
-      Pension interest income decreased by £1.9m; 
 
-      Expected return on plan assets decreased by £1.9m. 
 
Balance sheet:                                      No Impact 
 
Statement of Comprehensive Income:      No impact 
 
2. Segmental analysis 
 
IFRS 8 - 'Operating Segments' requires the Group's segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about
components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess performance and
allocate resources across each operating segment. 
 
The Chief Operating Decision Maker has been identified as the Executive Directors and the operating segments are identified
as the store fascia or brand, in line with the internal reporting to the Executive Directors. 
 
Sales and gross profit for each operating segment, as well as underlying EBITDA, are the main measures used by the
Executive Directors to assess performance. 
 
In accordance with paragraph 12 of IFRS 8 the Group's operating segments have been aggregated into the following reportable
segments: 
 
• Sports Retail - includes the results of the UK and International retail network of sports stores along with related
websites; 
 
• Premium Lifestyle - includes the results of the premium retail businesses such as Republic, Cruise and USC; and 
 
• Brands - includes the results of the Group's portfolio of internationally recognised brands such as Everlast, Lonsdale
and Dunlop. 
 
The basis of the reportable segments has changed during the year, reflecting changes that have been made to internal
reports used to assess performance and allocate resources across each operating segment. UK Sports Retail and International
Sports Retail were previously reported as separate segments. These have now been aggregated to form the reportable segment:
Sports Retail. The prior year disclosures have been restated to reflect this change. Information regarding the Group's
reportable segments for the year ended 27 April 2014, as well as a reconciliation of reported profit for the period to
underlying EBITDA, is presented below:

The impairment relates to assets in a newly acquired entity that were no longer required post acquisition. 
 
4. Taxation 
 
The effective tax rate on profit before tax for FY14 was 25.0% (FY13: 26.8%). This rate reflects depreciation on
non-qualifying assets and overseas earnings being taxed at a higher rate. 
 
5. Earnings per share from total and continuing operations attributable to the equity shareholders 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 
 
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares, 585,513,537 (2013: 568,971,942), is adjusted to
assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares under the Group's bonus share schemes, being 32,676,278 (2013:
51,852,895), to give the diluted weighted average number of shares of 618,189,815  (2013: 620,824,837).

Underlying earnings per share 
 
The underlying earnings per share reflects the underlying performance of the business compared with the prior year and is
calculated by dividing underlying earnings by the weighted average number of shares for the period.  Underlying earnings is
used by management as a measure of profitability within the Group.  Underlying earnings is defined as profit for the period
attributable to equity holders of the parent for each financial period but excluding the post-tax effect of certain
non-trading items. 
 
The directors believe that the underlying earnings before exceptional items and underlying earnings per share measures
provide additional useful information for shareholders on the underlying performance of the business, and are consistent
with how business performance is measured internally. Underlying earnings is not a recognised profit measure under IFRS and
may not be directly comparable with "adjusted" profit measures used by other companies.
