Appendix

 

Directors' responsibility statement

 

The Directors are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance
with United Kingdom adopted International Financial Reporting Standards
('IFRS'), and have elected to prepare the Company financial statements in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS 101 'Reduced Disclosure
Framework'.

 

Under company law, the Directors must not approve the Annual Report and
financial

statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company
for the year.

 

In preparing the parent company financial statements, the Directors are
required to:

 

-    select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

 

-    make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and
prudent;

 

-    state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements; and

 

-    prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

 

In preparing the Group financial statements, International Accounting Standard
1 requires that Directors:

 

-    properly select and apply accounting policies;

 

-    present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that
provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;

 

-    provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific
requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the
impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's
financial position and financial performance; and

 

-    make an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

 

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are

sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies
Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of
fraud and other irregularities.

 

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the
corporate

and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in
the UK

governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ
from

legislation in other jurisdictions.

 

Each of the Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

 

-    the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the relevant
financial reporting framework, give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the
undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole;

 

-    the Strategic Report includes a fair review of the development and
performance of the business and the position of the Company and the
undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a
description of the Principal Risks and uncertainties that they face; and

 

-    the Annual Report and financial statements, taken as a whole, are
fair, balanced and understandable, and provide the information necessary for
shareholders to assess the Company's position and performance, business model
and strategy.
