of shares used in the calculation amount to 121,352,678 (HY2016: 119,967,521;
FY2016: 120,345,662).

Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no
other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work,
for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached. 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by, the Directors.  The Directors are responsible for preparing the
half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA. 
 
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are
prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. The condensed set of
financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the EU. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our
review. 
 
Scope of review 
 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the UK.  A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. 
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently
does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit.  Accordingly, we do
not express an audit opinion. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2016 is not prepared,
in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and
the DTR of the UK FCA.
