Based on actuarial advice, the assumptions used in calculating the scheme
liabilities and the actuarial value of those liabilities are: 
 
                                                                         2014  2013

The estimated impact on the IAS 19 liabilities and on the IAS 19 deficit at
the reporting date, due to a reasonably possible change in key assumptions
over the next year, are set out in the table below: 
 
                                            Effect onliabilities  Effect ondeficit  
                                            £m                    £m                
 Discount rate+/- 0.5% pa                   -135/+148             -121/+133         
 Retail price inflation rate +/- 0.5% pa    +25/-25               +18/-18           
 Consumer price inflation rate +/- 0.5% pa  +43/-41               +43/-41           
 Life expectancy at age 65 +/- 1 year       +71/-69               +64/-62           
 
 
The effect on the deficit is lower than the effect on the liabilities due to
the matching impact on the value of the insurance contracts held in respect of
some of the liabilities. Each assumption variation represents a reasonably
possible change in the assumption over the next year but might not represent
the actual effect because assumption changes are unlikely to happen in
isolation. 
 
The estimated impact of the assumption variations make no allowance for
changes in the values of invested assets that would arise if market conditions
were to change in order to give rise to the assumption variation. If allowance
were made, the estimated impact would likely be lower as the values of
invested assets would normally change. 
 
The amount included in the consolidated income statement, consolidated
statement of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheet arising from
the Group's obligations in respect of its defined benefit pension schemes is

The provisions have been analysed between current and non-current as follows: 
 
                2014£m  2013£m

 Non-current    (6.9)   (13.8)  
                (30.2)  (24.1)  
 
 
The share-based payments provision relates to National Insurance obligations
attached to the future crystallisation of awards. 
 
The property provision relates to onerous property leases and future committed
costs related to occupied, let and vacant properties. This provision will be
utilised over the remaining term of the leases. 
 
The restructuring provision relates to restructuring charges incurred in the
delivery of cost reduction measures. This provision is expected to be utilised
within the next year. 
 
The other provision relates to legal and other costs relating to historical
litigation and other matters. 
 
15.        Share capital and reserves 
 
The share capital comprises 257,690,520 allotted, called-up and fully paid
ordinary shares of 10p each. The share premium account reflects the premium on
issued ordinary shares. The Group obtained court approval at the end of April
2014 for a reduction in the share premium account of £514.8 million to
eliminate the deficit on the Company's profit and loss account reserve. Profit
generated by the Company after 30 April 2014 is available for distribution to
shareholders. 
 
The capital redemption reserve represents the nominal value of the shares
purchased and subsequently cancelled under share buy-back programmes.
Cumulative goodwill written off to retained earnings and other reserves in
respect of continuing businesses acquired prior to 1998 is £25.9 million
(2013: £25.9 million). On transition to IFRS, the revalued amounts of freehold
properties were deemed to be the cost of the asset and the revaluation reserve
has been transferred to retained earnings and other reserves. 
 
Shares purchased by the Trinity Mirror Employee Benefit Trust (the 'Trust')
are included in retained earnings and other reserves at £11.4 million (2013:
£13.4 million). During the period the Trust purchased 1,391,620 shares (2013:
2,600,000) for a cash consideration of £2.2 million (2013: £3.0 million). The
Trust received a payment of £2.2 million (2013: £3.0 million) from the Company
to purchase these shares. During the period, 3,408,484 shares were released to
senior managers relating to grants made in prior years (2013: 1,652,091). 
 
During the period 935,709 awards were granted to senior managers on a
discretionary basis under the Long Term Incentive Plan (2013: 2,458,487). The
exercise price of the granted awards is £1 for each block of awards granted.
The awards vest after three years, subject to the continued employment of the
participant and satisfaction of certain performance conditions and are
required to be held for a further two years. During the period 96,245 awards
were granted to senior managers under the Restricted Share Plan (2013: nil).
The awards vest after three years, subject to the continued employment of the
participant.

liabilities it is too soon to be able to reliably estimate how these matters
will proceed and their financial impact.
