The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Parent Company financial statements is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 or Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We read all the financial and non-financial information in the Directors’ Report and any other surrounding information which includes the Chairman’s statement to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion:

• The financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 31 March 2012 and of the group’s profit for the period then ended;
• The group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;
• The parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
• Then financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• Adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
• The parent company financial are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
• Certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
• We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit

However, the prior year Parent Company only financial statements contained a disclaimer for the year ended 31 March 2011 as the auditor was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence concerning all balance sheet areas.
