Hi, If Deadwood is a discontinued operation then we should try to look at the results without including these results. As the results are included in one line item under the title 'Profit/(loss) from discontinued operations then they are not included in the results for continuing operations, hence not adjustment to PBIT. There is an adjustment to the net assets as presumably the net assets of Deadwood are still in the consolidated results. Thanks
