included in its own published consolidated financial statements.

or balances with entities which form part of the Group as these consolidated financial statements include the results of

Tangible Fixed Assets
Following the termination of the Company's office lease in 2013, all tangible assets were written off in that year.
Taxation

differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised,

accounting purposes, which have arisen, but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRS

statements.

deduction from total equity. Shares held by the Employee Benefit Trust are treated as being those of the Company.
