Notes to Editors
Shire plc
Shire's strategic goal is to become the leading specialty
pharmaceutical company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist
physician. Shire focuses its business on attention deficit and
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), human genetic therapies (HGT),
gastrointestinal (GI) and renal diseases. The structure is sufficiently
flexible to allow Shire to target new therapeutic areas to the extent
opportunities arise through acquisitions. Shire believes that a carefully
selected portfolio of products with a strategically aligned and relatively
small-scale sales force will deliver strong results.

The following discussion includes references to prescription and market
share data for the Group's key products. The source of this data is IMS
Health, June 2006. IMS Health is a leading global provider of business
intelligence for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
ADDERALL XR
ADDERALL XR is the leading brand in the US ADHD market with a market
share of 26% in June 2006 (2005: 24%). The US ADHD market grew 3% for the
six months to June, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. These factors
contributed to a 9% growth in US prescriptions for ADDERALL XR for the six
months to June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.
Sales of ADDERALL XR for the six months to June 30, 2006 were $426.8
million, an increase of 22% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005:
$351.0 million). Product sales growth was higher than prescription growth
due mainly to the impact of price increases in August 2005 and April 2006.
During October 2005 Shire filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA
requesting that the FDA require more rigorous bioequivalence testing or
additional clinical testing for generic or follow-on drug products that
reference ADDERALL XR before they can be approved. Shire believes that
these requested criteria will ensure that generic formulations of ADDERALL
XR or follow-on drug products will be clinically effective and safe. In
January 2006 Shire chose to file a supplemental amendment to its original
Citizen Petition, which included additional clinical data in support of the
original filing. On April 20, 2006 Shire received correspondence from the
FDA informing Shire that the FDA has not yet resolved the issues raised in
Shire's pending ADDERALL XR Citizen Petition. The correspondence states
that, due to the complex issues raised requiring extensive review and
analysis by the FDA's officials, a decision cannot be reached at this time.
The FDA's interim response is in accordance with FDA regulations concerning
Citizen Petitions.
Two FDA advisory committees met in February and March 2006 to discuss
cardiovascular and psychiatric adverse events associated with ADHD
medicines. In May 2006, the FDA sent revised labels to manufacturers of
ADHD stimulant medicines, changing on a class basis the safety warnings
related to cardiovascular and psychiatric events. The FDA did not make
changes to or add black box warnings to the medicines. Shire has revised
the labels on all its ADHD medicines (ADDERALL XR, ADDERALL and DAYTRANA)
to include these class warnings.
On August 14, 2006, Shire and Barr announced that all pending
litigation in connection with Barr's ANDA and its attempt to market generic
versions of Shire's ADDERALL XR had been settled. As part of the
settlement, Barr entered into consent judgments and agreed to permanent
injunctions confirming the validity and enforceability of Shire's '819,
'300 and '768 Patents. Barr has also admitted that any generic product made
under its ANDA would infringe the '768 patent.
Under the terms of the settlement, Barr will not be permitted to market
a generic version of ADDERALL XR in the United States until April 1, 2009,
except for certain limited circumstances, such as the launch of another
party's generic version of ADDERALL XR. No payments to Barr are involved in
the settlement agreement.
Shire's lawsuit against Teva, which was filed in the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania on March 2, 2006, continues. Shire alleges that all of
Teva's generic ANDA products infringe Shire's '819 and '300 patents.
CARBATROL
US prescriptions for the six months to June 30, 2006 were down 12%
compared to the same period in 2005. This was primarily due to a 6%
decrease in the US extended release carbamazepine prescription market, and
limited promotion of the product during 2006 leading to a 1% decrease in
Shire's market share of the total US extended release carbamazepine
prescription market to 42% in June 2006 (2005: 43%).
Sales of CARBATROL for the six months to June 30, 2006 were $30.3
million, a decrease of 22% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $38.7
million). The difference between the decreases in sales and prescriptions
is due to the lower levels of pipeline stocking compared with 2005, being
only partially offset by a price increase in October 2005.
In July 2006 Impax deployed a sales force to begin promotion of
CARBATROL under a promotional services agreement for the US market signed
in January 2006.
Patent litigation proceedings with Nostrum relating to the 300mg
strength of CARBATROL are ongoing. No trial date has been set. Nostrum's
30-month stay under the Hatch-Waxman Act expired on February 6, 2006.
Accordingly, the FDA may approve Nostrum's ANDA, once it meets all
regulatory requirements.
On March 30, 2006 the Company was notified that Corepharma had filed an
ANDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act seeking permission to market its generic
version of carbamazepine extended release products in 100mg, 200mg and
300mg strengths. Shire filed suit against Corepharma for the infringement
of the '013 patent and the '570 patent in the District Court of New Jersey
on May 17, 2006.
PENTASA
PENTASA had a 17% share of the total US oral mesalamine prescription
market in June 2006 (June 2005: 19%), a market that grew 3% compared with
the same period in 2005. US prescriptions for the six months to June 30,
2006 were down 3% compared to the same period in 2005, due to reduced
promotional activity in Q2 2006.
Sales of PENTASA for the six months to June 30, 2006 were $62.6
million, an increase of 9% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $57.2
million). The difference between sales growth and the lower levels of
prescriptions is due to the impact of the January 2006 price increase, a
change in the product sales mix from the 250mg to 500mg dose strength and
higher levels of pipeline stocking following production shortages last
year.
REPLAGAL
REPLAGAL was acquired by Shire as part of the TKT acquisition, which
completed on July 27, 2005. Product sales for the six months to June 30,
2006 were $54.1 million, the majority of which were in Europe.
Pre-acquisition sales for the six months to June 30, 2005 were $45.1
million. The increase in sales of 20% is primarily due to greater European
coverage by an increased number of sales representatives, and strong growth
in the Rest of the World market (all sales outside Europe and the US).
AGRYLIN and XAGRID
AGRYLIN/XAGRID sales worldwide for the six months to June 30, 2006 were
$29.6 million, down 52% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $61.6
million).
North American sales were $3.4 million (2005: $37.1 million). This
reduction was expected following the approval of generic versions of
AGRYLIN in the US market in April 2005.
For the Rest of the World (all sales outside North America) sales were
up 7% to $26.2 million, (2005: $24.5 million). Sales increased by 12% as
expressed in the transaction currencies (XAGRID is primarily sold in
Euros), due mainly to strong growth in France and Spain, offset by
unfavourable exchange rate movements of 5%.
FOSRENOL
US prescriptions for the six months to June 30, 2006 were up 62%
compared to the same period in 2005. FOSRENOL was launched in the US in
January 2005, and its share of the total US phosphate binding market in
June 2006 was 8% (2005: 7.8%).
Sales of FOSRENOL for the six months to June 30, 2006 were $13.9
million, a decrease of 6% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $14.8
million). Although prescription growth continued, sales revenue is down due
to a combination of pipeline de-stocking in 2006 (as the new higher dose
strengths launch stocks shipped to wholesalers in December 2005 were sold
in Q1 2006), pipeline stocking in H1 2005 and higher sales deductions.
FOSRENOL was launched in Austria, Ireland, Sweden and Denmark in
December 2005 and in South Korea in June 2006. On July 11, 2006, Shire
received confirmation that FOSRENOL had been recommended for approval
through the Mutual Recognition Procedure in Eleven markets in Europe (the
UK, Germany, Spain, Norway, Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania, Malta, Latvia,
Slovenia and Slovakia). FOSRENOL is already approved in all other European
Union countries (Sweden, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Austria, Finland, Czech
Republic, Denmark, France, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Ireland) and Iceland.
Foreign exchange effect
As many of the Company's sales revenues are earned in currencies other
than US dollars (primarily Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Swedish
Kronor and Euros), revenue growth reported in US dollars includes the
impact of translating the sales made in a local currency, into US dollars.
The table below shows the effect of foreign exchange translations on the
revenue growth of the key affected products as well as the underlying
performance of key products in their local currency:

Notes
Revenue growth analysis does not include sales of:
- ADDERALL XR sales of $3.7 million in Canadian Dollars due to the fact
that sales of ADDERALL XR in Canada were suspended for most of 2005,
affecting comparative data; and
- REPLAGAL sales of $49.8 million in Euros and Swedish Kronor. There is
no comparative data for REPLAGAL as it was acquired with TKT in July 2005.
Royalties
Royalty revenue remained stable at $121.4 million for the six months to
June 30, 2006 (2005: $120.9 million). The following table provides an

3TC
Royalties from sales of 3TC for the six months to June 30, 2006 were
$77.8 million (2005: $79.9 million).
Shire receives royalties from GSK on worldwide 3TC sales. GSK's
worldwide sales of 3TC for the six months to June 30, 2006 were $595
million, a decrease of 2% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $606
million). The nucleoside analogue market for HIV has continued to grow,
however competitive pressures within the market have increased.
ZEFFIX
Royalties from sales of ZEFFIX for the six months to June 30, 2006 were
$16.1 million (2005: $14.2 million).
Shire receives royalties from GSK on worldwide ZEFFIX sales. GSK's
worldwide sales of ZEFFIX for the six months to June 30, 2006 were $140
million, an increase of 13% compared to the same period in 2005 (2005: $124
million). This increase was primarily due to strong growth in the Chinese,
Japanese and Korean markets.
Other
Other royalties are primarily in respect of REMINYL and REMINYL XL (now
marketed as RAZADYNE and RAZADYNE ER in the US), a product marketed
worldwide by Janssen Pharmaceutical N.V. (Janssen), an affiliate of Johnson
and Johnson, with the exception of the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland where Shire has the exclusive marketing rights.
Sales of the REMINYL/RAZADYNE range, for the symptomatic treatment of
mild to moderately severe dementia of the Alzheimer's type continue to grow
in the Alzheimer's market.
In June 2006 Janssen and Synaptech, Inc. filed suit against Barr for
infringement of their patent rights relating to RAZADYNE ER as a result of
Barr filing an ANDA with the FDA for its generic version of RAZADYNE ER. No
court date has been set. Barr and other generics have filed ANDAs with the
FDA as regards RAZADYNE and Janssen and Synaptech have filed suit against
some of those ANDA filers. The court date for these proceedings is June
2007.
Cost of product sales
For the six months to June 30, 2006 the cost of product sales amounted
to 17% of product sales (2005: 12%). The decrease in gross margin is
primarily due to the addition of REPLAGAL to Shire's product portfolio
following the acquisition of TKT. REPLAGAL's cost of product sales includes
acquired inventories, which in accordance with IFRS were valued at fair
value as part of the TKT purchase price allocation. Accordingly, lower
margins will be reflected for REPLAGAL sales until all inventory has been
sold (anticipated Q3 2006). For the six months to June 30, 2006 the cost of
product sales for REPLAGAL included a $40.3 million adjustment in respect
of the acquired inventory. This acquired inventory increased Shire's cost
of product sales by 6%.
Research and development (R&D)
R&D expenditure increased from $127.0 million in the six months to June
30, 2005 to $150.0 million for the six months to June 30, 2006. The
increase was primarily due to the addition of two significant R&D projects
following the acquisition of TKT (ELAPRASE and GA-GCB).
Expressed as a percentage of total revenues, R&D expenditure was 18%
for the six months to June 30, 2006 (2005: 17%).
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses increased from $326.2 million in the six months to June 30,
2005 to $387.0 million in the six months to June 30, 2006, an increase of
19%. This increase is primarily related to the promotion and launch of
DAYTRANA (including an increase in the ADHD sales force) and the recruitment
of new US sales forces for GI (to launch MESAVANCE) and HGT (to launch
Elaprase).

(1) Excludes depreciation from manufacturing plants of $2.2 million
(2005: $1.7 million) which is included in cost of product sales.
Depreciation and amortization (included in Selling, general and
administrative costs)
The depreciation charge for the six months to June 30, 2006 was $16.3
million (2005: $11.2 million including a write-down of property, plant and
equipment of $5.9 million). Amortization charges, including the
amortization on acquired products, were $31.9 million for the six months to
June 30, 2006 (2005: $24.8 million). The increase in both depreciation and
amortization is primarily due to the increase in the asset base as a result
of the TKT acquisition.
The $50 million payment made to Noven on approval of DAYTRANA has been
capitalized, and together with the upfront payment of $25 million, will be
amortized over a 10-year period from the June 29, 2006 launch date.
The $50 million payment made to New River in February 2006 following
the FDA's acceptance of the filing of NRP104 has been capitalized, and
together with the upfront payment of $50 million made in 2005 will be
amortized over its useful economic life.
Intangible asset impairment (included in Selling, general and
administrative costs)
The intangible asset impairment charge for the six months to June 30,
2006 was $0.1m (2005: $3.0m). The intangible impairment charge arose as a
result of the economic value and strategic worth of the product concerned
being less than its carrying value.
Integration costs (included in Selling, general and administrative
costs)
For the six months to June 30, 2006 the Company incurred $3.9 million
of costs associated with the integration of the TKT business into Shire
(2005: $nil). This included retention payments for key staff of $2.0
million, IT costs of $0.8 million and other costs of $1.1 million.
Investment revenue
For the six months to June 30, 2006 the Company received investment
revenue of $24.2 million (2005: $21.0 million).
In the six months to June 30, 2005 investment revenue primarily related
to interest received on Shire's cash balances. In the six months to June
30, 2006 investment revenue comprised $17.7 million of interest received on
cash balances together with $6.5 million of interest recognized following
the repayment by IDB of a $70.6 million loan (of the $8.1 million of
interest received from IDB in 2006, $1.6 million was recognized in previous
periods). Interest received on cash balances is lower than in the six
months to June 30, 2005 due to the interest foregone on net TKT acquisition
payments of $1.1 billion being partially offset by higher interest rates in
the six months to June 30, 2006.
Interest expense
For the six months to June 30, 2006 the Company incurred interest
expense of $12.2 million (2005: $1.4 million). In 2006, this expense
primarily relates to a provision for interest, which may be awarded by the
Court in respect of amounts due to those ex-TKT shareholders who have
requested appraisal of the acquisition consideration payable for their TKT
shares. The trial date for the appraisal rights litigation has been set for
April 23, 2007.
For the six months to June 30, 2005 the expense primarily related to a
bridging loan to finance the TKT acquisition.
Share of post tax profit from associates and joint ventures
Profits of $4.3 million were recorded for the six months to June 30,
2006 (2005: $0.7 million). This comprised profits of $3.2 million from the
50% share of the antiviral commercialization partnership with GSK in Canada
(2005: $2.7 million), and $1.1 million being the Company's share of profits
in the GeneChem and EGS Healthcare Funds (2005: loss of $2.0 million).
Taxation
The effective rate of tax for the six months to June 30, 2006 was 32%
(2005: (11)%). The negative effective rate of tax in the six months to June
30, 2005 was a result of the recognition of tax benefits relating to
intangibles in the UK.
At June 30, 2006 net deferred tax liabilities of $174.5 million were
recognized (December 31, 2005: $152.4 million). Deferred tax assets for
deductible timing differences are recognized to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary difference can be utilized.
Discontinued operations
During the six months to June 30, 2006, IDB repaid $70.6 million, being
the injectable flu development tranche of the $100.0 million development
loan facility provided to IDB as part of their acquisition of Shire's
vaccine business. The repayment followed GSK's acquisition of IDB, after
which IDB was provided with resources by GSK to fund the early repayment of
the injectable flu tranche. The $29.4 million pipeline development tranche
of the loan facility is still outstanding.
At the time of the disposal, a provision of $70.0 million was charged
to discontinued operations on the basis that there was no certainty of
recovery of this amount. The $70.0 million provision was allocated against
all of the pipeline development tranche ($29.4 million) and against $40.6
million of the $70.6 million injectable flu development tranche.
Accordingly, a gain on disposition of discontinued operations of $40.6
million (2005: $3.1 million) was recognized on repayment of the loan by
IDB.
The repayment of the $70.6 million injectable flu tranche had no tax
effect.
Principal Differences: IFRS and US GAAP Net Income for the six months
to June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Shire prepares its financial results in accordance with US GAAP and
also under IFRS in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial
Services Authority.
The primary difference between net income as reported under US GAAP and
that reported under IFRS for the six months to June 30, 2006 related to the
$50 million payment to New River in February 2006, which was expensed as a
research and development cost under US GAAP together with the recognition
of a related deferred tax asset. Under IFRS this payment was capitalised as
an intangible asset, with no related tax effect.
In the six months to June 30, 2005 the primary differences between US
GAAP and IFRS net income related to a payment to New River of $50 million
in January 2005, expensed as a research and development cost under US GAAP
and capitalised under IFRS, and the recognition under IFRS of deferred tax
on certain intangible asset transfers between group companies.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM IFRS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Information
Shire plc (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group" or
"Shire") researches, develops and markets prescription medicines. The
Company is a public limited company incorporated under the Companies Act,
1985 and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered
office is Hampshire International Business Park, Chineham, Basingstoke,
Hampshire, United Kingdom.
The Company has its primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and
its secondary listing on the NASDAQ National Market in the United States of
America.
These accounts are presented in US Dollars as this is the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
2. Accounting Presentation and Policies
These unaudited interim financial statements for the six months to June
30, 2006 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
adopted by the EU. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with
those followed in the preparation of the Group's Annual Report for the year
ended December 31, 2005. Certain amounts reported in previous periods have
been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. The balance sheet at
December 31, 2005 (adjusted for the allocation of the cost of business
combinations as outlined in note 3) has been derived from the full Group
accounts published in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
2005, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and on which
the report of the independent auditors was unqualified and did not contain
a statement under either section 237(2) or 237(3) of the Companies Act
1985. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2005 does
not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985.
3. Business Combinations
During the six months to June 30, 2006 the Company finalized the
allocation of the costs of the acquisition of TKT, which completed on July
27, 2005.
As a result, goodwill in respect of the TKT acquisition decreased by
$136.9 million following the recognition of the $232.0 million tax
amortization benefit on the valuation of intangible assets and in-process
research and development and certain contingent assets and liabilities
whose fair value is now determinable, net of related deferred tax
liabilities and assets.
In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, the results for the
year to December 31, 2005 and the balance sheet at December 31, 2005 have
been restated to reflect the allocation of the cost of the acquisition of
TKT as if the accounting for the combination was computed as of the
acquisition date.
An additional charge of $1.8m was recognized in the year to December
31, 2005 relating to amortization charged on the tax amortization benefit
recognized in the valuation of intangible assets (as outlined above).
4. Taxation
Taxation for the interim period to June 30, 2006 consists of UK tax
expense of $11.0 million (2005: $5.0 million expense) and overseas tax
expense of $38.9 million (2005: $28.7 million income).
5. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is based upon the profit for the period divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period,
excluding those held in the employee share trusts (which are treated as
cancelled).
Diluted EPS is based upon the profit for the period divided by the
weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period
and adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

10. Post balance sheet events
Settlement of Barr Litigation and New Product Development and License
Agreement
On August 14, 2006, Shire and Barr announced that all pending
litigation in connection with Barr's ANDA and its attempt to market generic
versions of Shire's ADDERALL XR had been settled. As part of the settlement
agreement, Barr entered into consent judgments and agreed to permanent
injunctions confirming the validity and enforceability of Shire's '819,
'300 and '768 Patents. Barr has also admitted that any generic product made
under its ANDA would infringe the '768 patent. Under the terms of the
settlement, Barr will not be permitted to market a generic version of
ADDERALL XR in the United States until April 1, 2009, except for certain
limited circumstances, such as the launch of another party's generic
version of ADDERALL XR. No payments to Barr are involved in the settlement
agreement.
Shire and Duramed, a subsidiary of Barr have entered into an agreement
related to Duramed's transvaginal ring technology that will be applied to
at least five women's health products, as well as a license to Duramed's
currently marketed oral contraceptive, Seasonique ( levonorgestrel/ethinyl
estradiol tablets 0.15 mg/0.03 mg and ethinyl estradiol tablets 0.01 mg)
(the product development and license agreement). Under this agreement,
Shire made an initial payment of $25 million to Duramed on September 13,
2006 for previously incurred product development expenses, and will
reimburse Duramed for development expenses incurred going forward up to a
maximum of $140 million over eight years. Shire will have the exclusive
rights to market these products in the five major European markets of the
UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain and other areas, excluding North
America and to market and sell these products on a royalty free basis.
Shire submitted the settlement agreement and the product development
and license agreement, along with an agreement to sell Shire's ADDERALL
product to Duramed to the FTC and the DOJ as required by law on August 28,
2006 and the agreements are currently subject to review by those agencies.
The settlement agreement and the product development and license agreement
became effective upon the Courts signing the last of the consent judgments
for the litigations on September 5, 2006.
Duramed has also agreed to purchase Shire's ADDERALL (immediate-release
mixed amphetamine salts) product for $63 million. Shire reported the
transaction to the FTC and the DOJ under the HSR Act on August 28, 2006.
The HSR Act's 30-day waiting period, which must run before the parties can
complete the transaction, will expire on September 27, 2006.
Troxatyl
On August 28, 2006, SGX Pharmaceuticals Inc, (SGX), announced that it
had halted its phase 2/3 trials for Troxatyl after the independent Data and
Safety Monitoring Board determination that the response rates to Troxatyl
were unlikely to prove its benefit as a third line treatment for patients
with acute myelogenous leukemia. In July 2004, SGX had licenced the
worldwide rights to Troxatyl from Shire Biochem Inc, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Shire. Shire is considering the impact of this announcement
on the carrying value of goodwill created on the acquisition of Biochem
Pharma Inc, which includes $42 million related to its Troxatyl licence
agreement. Any resulting impairment of the $42 million asset would be
recognised in the second half of 2006.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO SHIRE PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the IFRS financial
information on pages 3 to 18 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which
comprise the income statement, the balance sheet, the statement of
recognized income and expense, the cash flow statement and related notes 1
to 10. We have read the other information contained in the interim report
and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the financial information.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with Bulletin
1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken
so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to
state to them in an independent review 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, for our review work, for
this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained
therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.
The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in
accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority
(Listing Rules) which require that the accounting policies and presentation
applied to the interim figures are consistent with those applied in
preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any changes, and the
reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with the guidance contained in
Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the
United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group
management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information
and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the
accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless
otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of
controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and therefore provides
a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an
audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the IFRS financial information on
pages 3 to 18 as presented for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Notes: Neither an audit nor a review provides assurance on the
maintenance and integrity of the website, including controls used to
achieve this, and in particular whether any changes may have occurred to
the financial information since first published. These matters are the
responsibility of the directors but no control procedures can provide
absolute assurance in this area.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and
dissemination of financial information differs from legislation in other
jurisdictions.
