Note: INVESCO Funds Group is reflected with AIM US in this
analysis. Previous presentations included these amounts with the
INVESCO US business.

Notes

1. The taxation charge is estimated based on the total expected tax charge for
the year. A significant proportion of the charge is expected to arise from US
operations.

2. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary
and exchangeable shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted
earnings per share takes into account the effect of dilutive potential ordinary
and exchangeable shares outstanding during the period.

Profit before goodwill amortization and exceptional items is a more appropriate
basis for the calculation of earnings per share since this represents a more
consistent measure of the year-by-year performance of the business; therefore,
the calculation below is presented on that basis.
