 Operating segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the responsibilities of the Corporate Executive Team (CET).  Individual members of the CET are responsible for each geographic segment of the Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines business, ViiV Healthcare, Established Products and the Consumer Healthcare business as a whole, respectively.  Certain product reclassifications, principally the OTC dermatology brands acquired with the Stiefel business, have    
 been made between the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare segments in the majority of Emerging Markets with effect from 1 January 2014.  Comparative information has been restated accordingly.  In addition, 2014 core results growth rates have been calculated by measuring against 2013 core results excluding the divestments completed during 2013. R&D investment is essential for the sustainability of the pharmaceutical businesses.  However, for segment reporting, the US, Europe, Emerging Markets, Japan and 
 Established Products Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines operating profits exclude allocations of globally funded R&D as well as central costs, principally corporate functions and unallocated manufacturing costs.  The Group's management reporting process allocates intra-Group profit on a product sale to the market in which that sale is recorded, and the profit analyses below have been presented on that basis. Other trading and unallocated pharmaceuticals and vaccines includes Canada, Puerto Rico, Australasia,     
 central vaccine tender sales and contract manufacturing sales, together with costs such as vaccines R&D, central dermatology costs and central manufacturing costs not attributed to other segments. The Pharmaceuticals R&D segment is the responsibility of the Chairman, Research & Development and is reported as a separate segment. Corporate and other unallocated costs and disposal profits include the costs of corporate functions.

 Legal matters The Group is involved in significant legal and administrative proceedings, principally product liability, intellectual property, tax, anti-trust and governmental investigations as well as related private litigation, which are more fully described in the 'Legal Proceedings' note in the Annual Report 2013, as updated by the Legal matters section of the Results Announcements for Q2 2014. At 30 September 2014, the Group's aggregate provision for legal and other disputes (not including tax matters 
 described under 'Taxation' below) was £0.5 billion.  The Group may become involved in significant legal proceedings in respect of which it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that could result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings.  In these cases, the Group would provide appropriate disclosures about such cases, but no provision would be made. The ultimate liability for legal claims may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome 
 of litigation proceedings, investigations and possible settlement negotiations.  The Group's position could change over time, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that any losses that result from the outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed by a material amount the amount of the provisions reported in the Group's financial accounts. Significant developments since the quarter ended 30 June 2014 are as follows: On 19 September 2014, the Group announced that the Changsha Intermediate People's     
 Court in Hunan Province, China ruled that GSK China Investment Co. Ltd ("GSKCI"), according to Chinese law, had offered money or property to non-government personnel in order to obtain improper commercial gains, and been found guilty of bribing non-government personnel.  The verdict followed investigations initiated by China's Ministry of Public Security in June 2013.  As a result of the Court's verdict, GSKCI has paid a fine of RMB 3 billion (£301 million) to the Chinese government.  The Group has informed 
 the US Department of Justice, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) regarding the outcome of the China investigation and is co-operating with these agencies. Developments with respect to tax matters are described in 'Taxation' below.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 
 
 TaxationTransfer pricing and other issues are as previously described in the 'Taxation' note in the Annual Report 2013.  There have been no material changes to tax matters since the publication of the Annual Report. In the quarter, tax on core profits amounted to £348 million and represented an effective core tax rate of 20.0% (Q3 2013: 23.5%).  The charge for taxation on total profits amounted to £163 million and represented an effective tax rate of 29.7% (Q3 2013: 28.0%). In the nine months to September  
 2014, tax on core profits amounted to £926 million and represented an effective core tax rate of 21.2% (2013: 23.3%).  The charge for taxation on total profits amounted to £631 million and represented an effective tax rate of 25.9% (2013: 23.8%). The expected core tax rate for the full year is now expected to be somewhat lower than the previously indicated 22%.  The Group's balance sheet at 30 September 2014 included a tax payable liability of £1,284 million and a tax recoverable asset of £114 million. GSK 
 continues to believe that it has made adequate provision for the liabilities likely to arise from periods which are open and not yet agreed by tax authorities.  The ultimate liability for such matters may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome of agreements with relevant tax authorities.

 This unaudited Results Announcement contains condensed financial information for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2014, and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report 2013, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.  This Results Announcement has been prepared applying consistent accounting policies to those applied by the Group in the Annual Report 2013, except that an amendment to IAS 32 'Offsetting financial   
 assets and financial liabilities' has been implemented from 1 January 2014.  This revision has not had a material impact on the results or financial position of the Group. In addition, the segment information for 2013 has been restated to reflect changes made to segments in 2014 as set out under 'Segment information' above. This Results Announcement does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of sections 434(3) and 435(3) of the Companies Act 2006.  The full Group accounts for    
 2013 were published in the Annual Report 2013, which has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and on which the report of the independent auditors was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
