The Annual Report contains a responsibility statement of the directors in 
respect of the Annual Report and Accounts. The responsibility statement is set 
out as follows: 
 
 
Statement of directors' responsibilities 
 
 
The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements for 
each financial year in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 
 
 
The directors are required to prepare the consolidated financial statements in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by 
the European Union. The directors have also elected to prepare the Company 
financial statements under IFRS. 
 
 
The directors, in preparing the financial statements, are required to use 
suitable accounting policies and to apply them consistently, to make reasonable 
and prudent judgements and estimates and to state that the consolidated and 
company financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. 
 
 
The directors have responsibility for ensuring that the Company and the Group 
prepare and maintain accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy 
at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group at that time and 
which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the 
Listing Rules and the Companies Act 1985 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. 
 
 
The directors have a general responsibility for taking such steps as are 
reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and the Group and 
to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. 
 
 
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial 
information on the Company's website. 
 
 
After making appropriate enquiries, the directors are satisfied that the Group 
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable 
future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in 
preparing the financial statements. 
 
 
To the best of the directors' knowledge and belief there is no audit information 
relevant to the preparation of the Auditors' Report of which the auditors are 
unaware and each director has taken all the steps which he ought to have taken 
to make himself aware of such relevant information and to establish that the 
auditors are also aware of that information.
