The amount disclosed for the year ended 31 December 2010 is US$628 million

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.
