(1) Operating costs, operating surplus before interest, tax, deprecation and amortisation and the surplus before interest and tax are calculated above on the basis set out in SSAP 24, with the impact of FRS 17 on the statement of income and expenditure for 2004 and 2005 separately shown. The balance sheets at 31 December 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 have been restated for the adoption of FRS 17. Restated FRS 17 balance sheet information for 2001 is not included above as, in the opinion of the members of the Authority, unnecessary expense would be incurred to obtain the relevant information.
