Default Reference a number from one cell in the text of another cell?

I would like to setup the following:

cell A1: 2009E
cell A2: =A1 earnings per share
cell A3: =A1 net income

Such that cells A2 and A3 read: "2009E earnings per share" and "2009E net
income". The purpose would be able have various cells throughout a template
that cannot be grouped into a table that explicitly states '2009E data'
Thx!

Put this in A2:

=A1 & " earnings per share"

and this in A3:

=A1 & " net income"

Hope this helps.
