quarter ended 31 March 2010. Altria`s results include a reference to earnings
for the quarters ended 31 March 2010 and 2009 from Altria`s 27.2% economic and
voting investment in SABMiller plc, expressed in US GAAP at prevailing exchange
rates.
The amount disclosed for the quarter ended 31 March 2010 is US$138 million (31

are derived from management accounts, have not been audited, and may be subject

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