Statement of Directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group
and parent company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulations. The names and functions of the directors are listed on pages 80,
81 and 87 of the Annual Report.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group
and parent Company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and parent Company
financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required
to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with UK adopted
international accounting standard and applicable law and have elected to
prepare the parent Company financial statements on the same basis.

Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements
unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the Group and parent Company and of the Group's profit or loss for
that period. In preparing each of the Group and parent Company financial
statements, the Directors are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant and reliable;

- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted
international accounting standards;

- assess the Group and parent Company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and

- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to
liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the parent Company's transactions and disclose
with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent
Company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with
the Companies Act. They are responsible for such internal control as they
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have
general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to
safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other
irregularities.

Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for
preparing a Strategic report, Directors' report, Remuneration report and
Corporate governance statement that complies with such law and regulations.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the
corporate and financial information included on the Company's website.
Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial
statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

In accordance with DTR4.1.14R, the financial statements will form part of an
annual report and accounts prepared using the single electronic reporting
format under ESEF. The auditor's report on these financial statements provides
no assurance over the ESEF format.

Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the annual financial
report

The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

- the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the applicable set of
accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities,
financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings
included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and

- the Strategic report and Directors' report includes a fair review of the
development and performance of the business and the position of the Company
and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together
with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.

 

The Directors consider that the Annual Report and Accounts, taken as a whole,
is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary
for shareholders to assess the Group's position and performance, business
model and strategy.
