In preparation of the release of the full year results on February 24, AkzoNobel has released the restated figures for the first three quarters in 2008, now including National Starch.
During 2008, National Starch (the former ICI Specialty Starch business) was classified as a discontinued operation. The intended sale of National Starch did not take place in 2008. In accordance with IFRS, the financial results of this business have therefore been re-classified as “continuing operations” within Specialty Chemicals.
The following overviews present the financial highlights and P&L for the first three quarters of 2008, restated to include National Starch.
