exceptional items, the definition of the US GAAP statutory earnings as reported
by Altria compared to SABMiller`s results as reported under IFRS, as well as the
inclusion within Altria`s earnings of gains on the dilution of Altria`s
investment in SABMiller following the issue of new SABMiller shares.
