Key points 
 
 ●  The movement in available-for-sale financial assets during the year and in Q4 2014 predominantly reflects unrealised gains arising on US and Spanish bonds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 ●  Cash flow hedging gains in both the year and Q4 2014 largely result from significant decreases in Sterling and Euro swap rates across the maturity profile of the portfolio.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 ●  Currency translation gains in the year are principally due to the weakening of Sterling against the US dollar. For the year, these gains were partially offset by the impact of the strength of Sterling against the Euro.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 ●  Actuarial losses on defined benefit plans in 2014 arose as a result of a reduction in long-term high quality corporate bond yields and therefore the discount rate used to value defined benefit obligations and a change to the assumed rate of future improvement in mortality. Actuarial losses have been partially offset by actuarial gains in the main pension scheme arising from a higher value of assets than expected. (see Note 5 on page 84 for more details).
