12. Non-statutory financial statements 
 
The financial information set out in the announcement does not constitute the
company's statutory accounts for the 52 weeks ended 28 February 2015 or the 52
weeks ended 1 March 2014. The financial information for the 52 weeks ended 1
March 2014 is derived from the statutory accounts for that year which have
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those
accounts; their report was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters
by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain a
statement under s498(2) or (3) Companies Act 2006. The audit of the statutory
accounts for the 52 weeks ended 28 February 2015 is not yet complete. These
accounts will be finalised on the basis of the financial information presented
by the directors in this preliminary announcement and will be delivered to the
Registrar of Companies following the company's annual general meeting. 
 
This report was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 April 2015.
