2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not
reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in

tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it
is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other
future taxable profits.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over
