Important disclaimer
The Annual Report and Accounts contains 'forward looking statements' (as defined in the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) with respect to certain of the Company's plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition, performance and results. These statements are often, but not always, made through use of words or phrases such as 'will likely result', 'are expected to', 'will continue', 'believe', 'is anticipated', 'estimated', 'intends', 'plans', 'seeks', 'projection', 'outlook' and 'aims'. By their nature, all forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances which are beyond the Company's control, including amongst other things, UK domestic and global economic business conditions, market related risks such as fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates, the policies and actions of regulatory authorities (including changes related to capital and solvency requirements), the impact of competition, inflation, deflation, the timing impact and other uncertainties of future acquisitions or combinations within relevant industries, as well as the impact of tax and other legislation and other regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate. As a result, the Company's actual future financial condition, performance and results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in the Company's forward looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statements save in respect of any requirement under applicable law or regulation.
