Taxation
Corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted
by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance
sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or
a right to pay less or to receive more tax.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that
there will be suitable taxable profits from which the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in
which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date.

Investments
Fixed asset investments in shares in group undertakings and in unlisted investments are shown at cost less
provision for impairment.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement,
as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that
evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
