disclosures required in the annual audited consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are

consistent

with

those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year

ended 31 December 2012, except for the adoption of the following amended International Accounting Standards

Board (lASB) Standard, applicable to the Group:

lAS 1

Financial Statement Presentation

The amendments to lAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income. Items that could be

reclassified (or 'recycled') to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) will

be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact

on the interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group.

lAS 19

Employee Benefits (Revised)

The lASB has issued numerous amendments to lAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the

corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The

amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and have had no effect on the Group's

financial position, performance or its disclosures.
