Appendix

The additional information set out below, which is extracted from the Annual Report, is included in compliance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 6.3.5. This information should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report as a whole:

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Risk Management

In order to gain an understanding of the risk exposure of the Group we review each area of our business annually and use a methodology that will assist the Group in measuring, evaluating, documenting and monitoring its risks within all areas of its operations.

We use our risk management process as described to identify, monitor, evaluate and escalate risks as they emerge, enabling management to take appropriate action wherever possible in order to control them and also enabling the Board to keep risk management under review. During the year the Board also worked to define its appetite towards risk and metrics against which risk appetite can be monitored.

Principal Risks

The risk factors addressed below are those which we believe to be the most material to our business model, which could adversely affect the operations, revenue, profit, cash flow or assets of the Group and which may prevent us from achieving the Group's strategic objectives. Additional risks and uncertainties currently unknown to us, or which we currently believe are immaterial, may also have an adverse effect on the Group.
