(1) During the period from 1 October 2002 to 31 March 2003, Vodafone UK
operated under interim commercial terms with one of its service providers.
Final terms were agreed in April 2003. Recognising revenues on a consistent
basis during the interim period to the bases before and after this period would
result in additional service revenues of GBP74 million. For consistency and
comparability purposes, these revenues have been included in the calculation of
non-voice services as a percentage of service revenues.
The impact of the inclusion of these amounts was to decrease UK non-voice
services as a percentage of service revenues for the months of December 2002
and March 2003 from 16.1% and 15.3% to 16.0% and 15.2% respectively.
