   Underlying earnings per ordinary share are calculated as follows:

 11  Precious metal operating leases    
                                        
 
 
The group leases, rather than purchases, precious metals to fund temporary peaks in metal requirements provided market
conditions allow.  These leases are from banks for specified periods (typically a few months) and for which the group pays
a fee.  These arrangements are classified as operating leases.  The group holds sufficient precious metal inventories to
meet all the obligations under these lease arrangements as they fall due.  At 31st March 2016 precious metal leases were
£70.3 million (2015 £18.7 million). 
 
 12  Transactions with related parties    
                                          
 
 
There were no material changes in related party relationships in the year ended 31st March 2016 and no other related party
transactions have taken place which have materially affected the financial position or performance of the group during the
year. 
 
 13  Post-employment benefits    
                                 
 
 
The group operates a number of post-employment benefit plans around the world, the forms and benefits of which vary with
conditions and practices in the countries concerned.  The major defined benefit plans are pension plans and
post-retirement medical plans in the UK and the US.
