1.   Basis of preparation 
 
The Group's 2014 results have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the EU. 
 
The same accounting policies and presentation are followed in the financial
statements that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, except
for the adoption of: 
 
-- IFRS 10, 'Consolidated financial statements' 
 
-- IFRS 11, 'Joint arrangements' 
 
-- IFRS 12, 'Disclosure of interests in other entities' 
 
-- Amendments to IAS 27, 'Separate financial statements' 
 
-- Amendments to IAS 28, 'Investments in associates and joint ventures' 
 
-- Amendments to IAS 32, 'Financial instruments: Presentation' 
 
-- Amendments to IAS 36, 'Impairment of assets' 
 
-- Amendments to IAS 39, 'Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement' 
 
There is no significant impact on the Group financial statements as a result
of adopting these new and amended standards. There are no standards,
amendments or interpretations that are in issue but not yet effective that are
expected to have a significant impact on the Group financial statements. 
 
The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's
statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2014 or 2013 but is derived
from the 2014 accounts. Statutory accounts for 2013 have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. Those for 2014, prepared under IFRS as adopted by the
EU, will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies and made available on the
Company's website at www.keller.co.uk in March 2015. The auditors have
reported on those accounts; their reports were (i) unqualified, (ii) did not

of emphasis without qualifying their reports and (iii) did not contain
