(1) Note 1 to the financial statements explains the difference between gross sales and revenue.


(2) The basis of allocation of pension costs to the divisions was changed in 2012 and is charged as a fixed proportion of total pay based on the estimated long-term costs of providing the benefit, with the differences between these costs and the total annual pension operating costs recognised in Corporate and other. This was income of £11.3m in 2013 (2012: £16.8m), which is principally due to market driven volatility.


(3) Corporate and other costs are principally corporate and shared service costs, transformation costs and Partnership Services.
