Pre-tax
(profit)
This is the
latest available figure for unadjusted reported (FRS3) pre-tax
profit. The suffix indicates the calendar year in which the
last period ended, e.g. 95, or 96, and the source, either PA
(Preliminary Announcement) or AR (Annual Report).
The pre-tax
profit covers the full duration of the actual reporting period,
and the presence of a superscript, e.g. 15 or 9, indicates the
number of months of any non-standard period. Note that the profit
figure itself is not annualised.
