In respect of the preparation of the financial statements
The following statement, which should be read in conjunction with the statement of auditor's responsibilities included in their report below, is made with
a view to distinguishing for shareholders the respective responsibilities of the Directors and auditors in relation to the financial statements. Company law requires
the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group and
of the profit or loss for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company and the Group will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and of
the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as
are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
