Notes 1. Accounting policies The accounting policies used in the preparation of the earnings release follow International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in effect as of the date of this release. The comparative period has been restated to apply these IFRS on a consistent basis (see Note 8). The most significant changes due to the IFRS transition are: --The cessation of goodwill amortization (IFRS 3) and redenomination of goodwill to the currency of the underlying acquired entities (IAS 21) --The inclusion of a fair value charge in respect of outstanding employee share options granted after November 7, 2002 (IFRS 2) --The replacement of existing charges for awards under certain equity-based compensation plans with fair value charges spread over revised time periods (IFRS 2) --The inclusion in the balance sheet of all employee benefit liabilities (IAS 19) AMVESCAP's first Annual Report under IFRS will be for the year ended December 31, 2005. The information presented in this earnings release is subject to the ongoing development of IFRS; however the policies applied to the information in this earnings release are consistent with those that are expected to be applied in the 2005 Annual Report. Please refer to www.amvescap.com for a more detailed discussion of these policies. 2.

Taxation The taxation charge is primarily due to overseas taxation. A significant proportion of the tax charge is expected to arise from U.S. operations. The estimated effective tax rate is 35.7% in 2005 (2004: 35.6%). 4. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary and exchangeable shares outstanding during the respective periods excluding shares purchased and held by employee share ownership trusts.
