At the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements the following new standards, which have not been applied
and when adopted will have no material impact on the Group, were in issue but not yet effective:

Changes in reporting 
 
Following a change in management structure, the Group has moved the revenue and results of fish4 from the Specialist
Digital operating segment to the Publishing operating segment. The revision to the operating segments has had no impact on
the revenue or operating profit of the Group. The 2013 comparatives have been restated as a result of this change. Note 16
sets out the impact of this change on the previously reported results.

2.         Accounting polices (continued) 
 
Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies 
 
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, described above, management has made the following judgements
that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: 
 
Acquisitions and intangible assets 
 
Judgements have been made in respect of the identification of intangible assets based on pre-acquisition forecasts and
market analysis. The initial valuations of acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date,
or more frequently if necessary. 
 
Key sources of estimation uncertainty 
 
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year, are discussed below: 
 
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets 
 
Determining whether goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the
cash-generating unit to which these have been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the
future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate
present value. 
 
Retirement benefits 
 
Actuarial assumptions adopted and external factors can significantly vary the surplus or deficit of defined benefit pension
schemes. Advice is sourced from independent actuaries in selecting suitable assumptions. 
 
Derivative financial instruments 
 
Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value and can change significantly from period to period. 
 
3.         Operating segments 
 
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly
reviewed by the Board and chief operating decision maker to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their
performance. The Group has four operating segments that are regularly reviewed by the Board and chief operating decision
maker. 
 
The operating segments are: Publishing which includes all of our newspapers and associated digital publishing; Printing
which provides printing services to the publishing segment and to third parties; Specialist Digital which includes our
acquired digital specialist classified and our digital marketing services businesses; and Central which includes revenue
and costs not allocated to the operational divisions and our share of results of associates. 
 
The accounting policies used in the preparation of each segment's revenue and results are the same as the Group's
accounting policies described in note 2. The Board and chief operating decision maker are not provided with an amount for
total assets by segment. The Group's operations are located in the UK and the Group is not subject to significant
seasonality during the year.

(a)   At the 2013 year end, an impairment review comparing the carrying value of the Group's assets with value in use was
undertaken in accordance with IAS 36. The review indicated that a £225.0 million impairment charge against goodwill and
publishing rights and titles in respect of the Nationals and certain regional (Scotland, North East and Cardiff)
cash-generating units was required. 
 
(b)   The Group is aware of a number of civil claims from individuals in relation to phone hacking. In the first half we
have provided £4.0 million to cover the cost of dealing with and resolving claims. It remains uncertain as to how these
matters will progress, whether further allegations or claims will be made, and their financial impact. Due to this
uncertainty a contingent liability has been highlighted in note 18. 
 
(c)   During the second half of 2013, the Group disposed of Trinity Mirror Digital Property Limited realising a profit on
disposal of £0.6 million. 
 
(d)   Share of the after tax non-recurring items comprising our £27.5 million share of the gain on the disposal by PA Group
of its weather forecasting business, MeteoGroup, our £0.4 million share of the profit of MeteoGroup recorded by PA Group up

The standard rate of corporation tax reduced from 23% to 21% on 1 April 2014. The blended rate for the accounting year is
21.5% being a mix of 23% up to 31 March 2014 and 21% from 1 April 2014 (2013: 23.25% being a mix of 24% up to 31 March 2013
and 23% from 1 April 2013). The current tax liabilities amounted to £15.2 million (30 June 2013: £17.5 million and 29
December 2013: £16.7 million) at the reporting date. 
 
The opening deferred tax position is recalculated in the period in which a change in the standard rate of corporation tax
has been enacted or substantively enacted by parliament. The change in rate from 23% to 20% was accounted for in the prior
year resulting in a £34.3 million credit in the consolidated income statement and a £8.9 million charge in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income. 
 
The tax on actuarial (losses)/gains on defined benefit pension schemes taken to the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income is a credit of £2.5 million comprising a deferred tax credit of £2.5 million (26 weeks ended 30 June 2013: a
deferred tax charge of £1.2 million and 52 weeks ended 29 December 2013: a charge of £8.5 million comprising a deferred tax
charge of £9.2 million and a current tax credit of £0.7 million). 
 
The tax on share-based payments taken to equity is a charge of £3.6 million (26 weeks ended 30 June 2013: £nil and 52 weeks
ended 29 December 2013: credit of £5.9 million).

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue on the assumption of conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary
shares. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive ordinary shares not currently dilutive was 4,312,644 (30 June
2013: 9,094,870 and 29 December 2013: 5,215,571).
