of the Group's facilities. The Group plans its financing in a structured and
proactive manner and remains confident that sources of financing will be

needs for a period of twelve months from the date of this report and conclude
that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern
basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
 
1.  Segment Information 
 
Imperial Tobacco comprises two distinct businesses - Tobacco and Logistics. 
The Tobacco business comprises the manufacture, marketing and sale of tobacco
and tobacco-related products, including sales to (but not by) the Logistics
business. The Logistics business comprises the distribution of tobacco
products for tobacco product manufacturers, including Imperial Tobacco, as
well as a wide range of non-tobacco products and services. The Logistics
business is run on an operationally neutral basis ensuring all customers are
treated equally, and consequently transactions between the Tobacco and
Logistics businesses are undertaken on an arm's length basis reflecting market
prices for comparable goods and services. 
 
The Tobacco business is managed based on the strategic role of groups of
markets rather than their geographic proximity, with divisions focused on
prioritising growth or returns. Returns Markets are typically mature markets
where we have relatively large market shares and our objective is to maximise
returns over the long term by growing profits while actively managing market
share. Growth Markets are mainly large profit or volume pools where we
typically have market shares below 15 per cent and where our total tobacco
approach provides many opportunities for share and profit growth both now and
in the future. 
 
The function of Chief Operating Decision Maker (defined in IFRS 8), which is
to review performance and allocate resources, is performed by the Board and
the Chief Executive, who are regularly provided with information on our
segments. This information is used as the basis of the segment revenue and
profit disclosures provided below. The main profit measure used by the Board
and the Chief Executive is adjusted operating profit. Segment balance sheet
information is not provided to the Board or the Chief Executive.  Our
reportable segments are Returns Markets North, Returns Markets South, Growth
Markets (which includes our Cuban joint ventures and Fontem Ventures) and
Logistics.  Prevailing market characteristics such as maturity, excise
structure and the breadth of the distribution networks determine the
allocation of Returns Markets between Returns Markets North and Returns
Markets South. 
 
The main tobacco business markets in each of the reportable segments are: 
 
Returns Markets North - Australia, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Poland,
United Kingdom; 
 
Returns Markets South - France, Spain and our African markets including
Algeria, Ivory Coast, Morocco; 
 
Growth Markets - Iraq, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, United States of
America.

2.  Restructuring Costs

The net charge for the year of £305 million (2013: £270 million) included £9
million (2013: £24 million) of unused provisions reversed during the year,
£193 million (2013: £163 million) of additional restructuring provisions and
£71 million (2013: £83 million) impairment of tangible assets. The remaining
charge of £50 million (2013: £48 million) was charged directly to the
consolidated income statement as incurred.  Restructuring cash flow in the
year was approximately £120 million (2013: £200 million), mainly due to the
cost optimisation programme. 
 
In January 2013 we announced our cost optimisation programme, aligned to our
strategy, with a target of generating annual savings of £300 million by 2018,
and with an anticipated cash implementation cost in the region of £600
million. The programme includes major restructuring of a number of sales
forces to align with our strategy, rationalisation of our manufacturing
footprint, and aligning organisational structures, processes and resource
levels with future requirements. A number of initiatives delivered savings of
over £60 million in our 2014 results (2013: £30 million). 
 
Asset impairments in 2014 relate mainly to the proposed closure of our
manufacturing facilities in Nottingham and Nantes while in 2013 they were
mainly due to the closure of our facility in Cadiz. 
 
Restructuring costs are included within administrative and other expenses in
the consolidated income statement.

Amounts in 2013 have been reclassified from fair value gains/losses on
derivative financial instruments to exchange gains/losses on financing
activities, to better reflect the nature of the transactions and the way the
group manages its financial risks and to ensure comparable data from year to
year.
