<strong>Vodafone</strong> Group Plc<br />

Annual Report 2013<br />

Reporting our financial performance<br />

This year we have changed the format of our consolidated financial statements, with the aim<br />

of making them clear and easier to follow.<br />

On pages 90 to 97 we have created an integrated financial review, combining a commentary<br />

on items within the primary financial statements.<br />

We have changed the order of the footnotes to help with the flow of information, focusing<br />

on areas that we feel are key to understanding our business. Additional information that we are<br />

required to disclose by accounting standard or regulation has been moved to appendices.<br />

In addition, each footnote now begins with a simple introduction outlining the purpose<br />

of the note.<br />

We hope this format makes it easier for you to navigate to the information that is important to you.<br />

† <strong>The</strong> financial commentary on pages 91, 93, 95 and 97 form part of the business review and<br />

are unaudited.
