Explanation / Answer

This Chart shows some important figures from consolidated statement of income with base year as 2005.

The percentage for the years 2006 and 2007 have been calculated by taking 2005 as the base year.

For eg- For 2007; Total revenue = 22420/18065*100 = 124.11 % ; For 2006 Total Revenue = 19849/18065*100 = 109.88%

Explanation for the Chart- Year 2007

Total Revenue = 22420

Profit from operating activities = 1586 ----(1)

Financial Result = 27 ----(2)

Profit from ordinary activities (Point 1+2) = 1613

Profit before income and taxes = 1613

Profit from continuing operation = 1257 ---- (3)

Profit from discontinued = 503 ---- (4)

Profit after income taxes (Point 3+4) = 1760

Net profit attributable = 1635

Basic EPS = 3.61

Diluted EPS = 3.6

Since it is mentioned in the question, only important figures have been given, figures of profit from extraordinary activities, income tax provision, expenses, No of shares, etc are missing.
