Founded in 1991 and quoted on AIM, Advanced Medical Solutions is focused on thedesign, development and manufacture of innovative and technologically advancedwoundcare products. In-house natural and synthetic polymer technology is used to provide advancedwound dressings based on the moist healing principle. AMS' resources ensure aunique position as a vertically integrated 'one stop shop' to provide allcategories of moist wound healing products. The Company has the capability tomove a product from design and development through to production and deliveryready for distribution and sale into customer markets. The acquisition of MedLogic in 2002 brought AMS products and technology incyanoacrylate based tissue adhesives that offer benefits over sutures andstaples for closing topical wounds sold direct to hospitals or throughdistributors. Chairman's Statement Overview I am pleased to announce that AMS continues to make excellent progress acrossthe Group. The financial position has been further strengthened with the Groupdelivering maiden first half profits on revenue growth of 22% and positive netcash flow continuing in the period. Good progress has been made across all ofthe key organic growth drivers and a number of strategic M&A opportunities havebeen identified that are currently under consideration. Operating Review Advanced woundcare Advanced woundcare sales of £6.3 million were up 21% on the prior half-year withgrowth spread across key products and markets. The global advanced woundcaredressings market is currently estimated at $3.2 billion and growing at around10% per annum. The Group continues to strengthen its position in the dynamic silver alginatemarket, which is now estimated to be $125 million and growing at 25%. AMS hastwo silver technologies and a broad range of partners selling into the majorglobal markets. New partner launches took place during the first half year intothe US hospital market and in a number of European countries. The opportunity to access the US burns market was strengthened with 510(k)clearance being granted by the FDA, allowing AMS to extend its claims for asilver alginate dressing that is effective for up to 21 days. This allows thefrequency of dressing changes to be reduced, thus providing a significantreduction in the time and overall cost of treatment, a better opportunity forhealing to progress undisturbed and less pain and discomfort to the patient. Theextended claims strengthen the commercial offering to marketing partners lookingto access the burns market. The Company has made good progress during the period with its direct ActivHeal(R) offering to the NHS. The number of NHS Hospital and Primary Care Trusts thathave adopted ActivHeal(R) products has doubled since year-end to more than 80.The focus remains on converting hospital Trusts to the use of ActivHeal(R) as afirst line therapy for routine wounds, complementing the use of the Group's newtechnologies such as silver alginate for treating more difficult wounds soldthrough strategic partners. The recent addition of University College London Hospitals (UCLH) NHS FoundationTrust is a strong endorsement of the ActivHeal(R) product range and the successAMS is now achieving with this business model. Following a review of itswoundcare product formulary, this major London teaching centre adopted ActivHeal(R) as a way to manage costs without compromising patient care for routinewounds after evaluating products from a number of companies. The training andeducational assistance provided by the AMS clinical nurse team to support asuccessful conversion was recognised. This is particularly encouraging as overthe past year the Group has focused on providing strong clinical support to backup the value proposition of its product offering. The ActivHeal(R) product rangehas also been strengthened with the launch of new foam and hydrocolloid productsin June. The Company remains confident that it will continue to penetrate the NHSadvanced woundcare market currently estimated at £110 million. Increased centraldecision-making by regional purchasing hubs and integration of product usagebetween Hospitals and their associated Primary Care Trusts are positive trendsthat support timely selection and adoption of the ActivHeal(R) range. Wound closure and sealants The wound closure and sealants business grew 28% to £1.7 million in the periodas the Group continued to develop its LiquiBandTM business within Europe andKimberly-Clark launched surgical skin sealant into the US. The Group maintained its strong leadership position in the UK Accident &Emergency (A&E) arena in the period and has also focused the efforts of itsEuropean distributors on the A&E market where the adhesive technology has realclinical and cosmetic benefits over alternative wound closure methodologies suchas sutures, staples and adhesive strips. The Group is reviewing its strategy forpenetration of the European Operating Room (OR) market either throughrecruitment of specialist OR distributors or by expanding its direct salespresence in this area. The dominant segment of the $150 million topical tissue adhesive market is theUS and regulatory approval for entering this market is progressing. The FDA hasnow accepted, and is promoting, the panel recommendation of August 2006 forthese products to be re-classified from a Premarket Approval (PMA) to the lessonerous 510(k) approval route. A Federal Register Notice was posted on 3 July2007 containing draft Special Controls to be used for 510(k) clearance, andwritten comments from the public were requested. Subject to the outcome of thepublic comments, formal re-classification allowing 510(k) regulatory approval isanticipated during 2008. In the meantime the Group continues to build clinicaldata to support a PMA route in parallel. Kimberly-Clark Health Care is continuing its US roll out of the new surgicalskin sealant following its initial introduction in February 2007. The product isnow available in the US, Europe and other international markets. Initialreaction from the surgical community to this innovative product to help preventinfection of surgical sites is very positive, both at the institutional and atthe individual surgeon level. The product is being evaluated in a wide range ofsurgical procedures as a means to help reduce skin flora contamination of thewound. Particular interest is being shown in orthopaedic surgery where theimplications of surgical site infection during the procedure are recognised asan area of concern. R&D The Group has continued to build on its current technology programmes. As wellas adding line extensions to the current advanced woundcare range, new dressingswith improved fluid handling and wound healing characteristics are underdevelopment. Of particular interest are materials that inhibit or negate theeffect of metallo-matrix proteases (MMPs), enzymes that prevent wound healing. Anumber of technologies are under evaluation, both through internal developmentand as licensing and acquisition candidates, that could lead to products withsuperior performance by modulating MMP activity and hence may help to acceleratechronic wound healing. In wound closure and sealants, as well as broadening the existing productportfolio for topical skin closure and protection, the Group has started toevaluate technologies that will allow it to enter the internal adhesives andsealants market currently estimated at $600 million. Whilst this is likely to bea medium to long term development and regulatory approval programme, it willallow the Group to leverage its current cyanoacrylate adhesives platform and itsexpertise in applicator design to enter the surgical arena as part of continuingto move to higher value products. Financial Review The Group will adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for thefirst time in 2007. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements havebeen prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that will be adopted inthe year end 31 December 2007 annual report. An explanation of the basis ofpreparation and the accounting policies that will be adopted are included in thenotes to the accounts together with reconciliations explaining the impact of thetransition. Overall, the profit before tax has been improved by less than £0.2million in the first half year under IFRS with the main changes arising from thecapitalisation of R&D of £0.2 million being offset by the costs of share basedpayments (£0.1 million). Group revenue increased 22% to £7.9 million (H1 2006: £6.5 million) for thefirst six months ended 30 June 2007. Both parts of the business grew stronglywith the advanced woundcare business growing 21% to £6.3 million (H1 2006: £5.2million) and the wound closure and sealants business growing 28% to £1.7 million(H1 2006: 1.3 million). Both businesses benefited from product launches in theperiod. Revenue grew in the UK by 39% with sales to the NHS making good progress. Salesto the rest of Europe through partners also progressed well, growing 31%, whilstsales to the US were affected by the weak dollar but still grew by 12%. On acomparable dollar basis to last year, sales growth in the US would have been21%. The gross margin for the Group was 43% (H1 2006: 40%). The Group continues tobenefit from improvements to manufacturing efficiency and from selling highervalue products. Net operating expenses were at the same level as last year at £2.8 million withapproximately £0.2 million of development spend capitalised in accordance withIAS 38 Intangible Assets (H1 2006: nil). The Group reported a maiden first half operating profit of £0.6 million, animprovement of £0.8 million compared with the prior year (H1 2006: loss £0.2million) and maiden profit before taxation of £0.7 million (H1 2006: loss £0.1million). The profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders was £0.8 million(H1 2006: loss £0.1 million) and the earnings per share was 0.57p (H1 2006: loss0.10p). The Group generated a £1.2 million net cash inflow from operating activities (H12006: £0.4 million). Capital expenditure increased to £0.3 million (H1 2006:£0.1 million) while investment in R&D that was capitalised increased to £0.2million (H1 2006: nil). Working capital remains tightly managed with net working capital excludinginvestments and cash and cash equivalents increasing by £0.1 million to £2.8million. The Group elected to use the fair value as the deemed cost for property at thedate of transition to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), as at1 January 2006 under IFRS 1. As a result, the property value was increased by£0.2 million. The increase arising on the revaluation has been credited to arevaluation reserve in equity. Under IAS 12 Income Tax, a deferred tax liabilityof £0.1 million is recognised on this gain and this has been debited to therevaluation reserve. Under UK GAAP discounting of future deferred tax assets was allowed, under IAS12 this is not permitted. As a consequence the discount on the deferred taxasset has been reversed and the deferred tax asset increased by £0.1 million.IAS 12 also requires a deferred tax asset to be identified if the accountingexpense is different from the tax base on any share based payments. As theaccrued tax deduction is greater than the accounting expense the excess of £0.2million (H1 2006: nil) has been recognised in equity as a share based payments'deferred tax reserve. Under IAS 7 cash held on deposit for more than 3 months and which is not neededto meet short-term cash commitments is not considered a cash equivalent andshould be described as an investment. Investments, cash and cash equivalentsincreased to £5.3 million compared with £3.6 million last year. The Group'sinvestment of £3.9 million (H1 2006: £2.4 million) comprises cash on deposit formore than 3 months. On 6 July 2007 the reduction of the Company's share capital by the cancellationof its Deferred Shares of 5p each together with the cancellation of the sharepremium account became effective. The total equity of the Group remainsunchanged and the Group profit and loss reserve has a balance of £4.9 millionfollowing the reconstruction. This reconstruction enables the Group to pay dividends in the future. The Boardcurrently believes that it is best able to deliver shareholder returns bygrowing the business and delivering capital growth. The balance sheet remains very strong and provides the Group with theopportunity to fund further growth both organically and through acquisition. Outlook Woundcare is an attractive market with favourable demographics and an increasingneed for products for the treatment of both chronic and acute wounds. Organic growth is set to continue due to the dynamic silver market, increasingpenetration into the NHS and the launch of surgical skin sealant. Additionally,the Group has exciting step-change opportunities such as entry into the USmarket with LiquiBand(R) and through acquisitions that leverage AMS's technologyand distribution base. Trading continues to be strong at the start of the second half of the year. Theoutlook for the Group remains extremely positive. Dr. Geoffrey N.

Reporting entity Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc ("the Company") is a public limited companyincorporated and domiciled in England and Wales (registration number 2867684).The Company's registered address is Road Three, Winsford Industrial Estate,Winsford, Cheshire CW7 3PD. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on the AIM market of the London StockExchange plc. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of theCompany for the six months ended 30 June 2007 comprise the Company and itssubsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The condensed consolidatedinterim financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with aresolution of the Directors on 3 September 2007. The Group is primarily involved in the design, development and manufacture ofnovel high performance polymers (both natural and synthetic) for use in advancedwoundcare dressings and materials and medical adhesives for the healthcaremarket. 2. Basis of preparation In 2007 the Group will adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)for the first time. These condensed consolidated interim financial statementshave been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that will be adoptedin the year end 31 December 2007 annual report. Since this is the first yearthat the Group will be preparing their annual financial statements in accordancewith IFRS as adopted by the EU, the accounting policies that have been adoptedin the interim report are based on the IFRSs that are in issue at the 30 June2007. These standards remain subject to ongoing amendment and/or interpretationand are therefore still subject to change. Accordingly, information contained inthese interim financial statements may need updating for subsequent amendmentsto IFRS required for first-time adoption or for new standards issued post thebalance sheet date. Previously the Group reported under UK generally acceptedaccounting principles ("UK GAAP"). The Group has applied IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International FinancialReporting Standards to provide a starting point for reporting under IFRS. TheGroup's date of transition to IFRS is 1 January 2006 and all comparativeinformation in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements isrestated to reflect the Group's adoption of IFRS, except where otherwiserequired or permitted under IFRS 1. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to allperiods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.They have also been applied in preparing an opening IFRS balance sheet at 1January 2006 for the purposes of the transition to IFRSs, as required by IFRS 1.The impact of the transition from UK GAAP to IFRSs on the Group's profit, equityand cash flows is explained in Note 6. The information relating to the six months ended 30 June 2006 and 30 June 2007is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning ofsection 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The comparative figures for the yearended 31 December 2006 are not the Company's accounts for that financial year.The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006, prepared under UKGAAP, have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to theRegistrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did notcontain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. Theinterim financial statements are unaudited but have been reviewed by theauditors and their report to the Board of Advanced Medical Solutions Group plcis set out at the end of this document. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared onthe historic cost basis of accounting except as disclosed in the accountingpolicies set out below. These statements are presented in sterling, which is the Company's functionalcurrency. 3. Accounting policies The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared onthe basis of the accounting policies which will be adopted in the AnnualFinancial Statements for 31 December 2007. The Group has elected not to applyIFRS 3, "Business Combinations" retrospectively to business combinations. Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Grouphas the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so asto retain benefits from its activities. The financial statements are included inthe consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences untilthe date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances between Group entities are eliminatedupon consolidation. Goodwill Goodwill written off to reserve under UK GAAP prior to 1998 has not beenreinstated and is not included in determining any subsequent profit or loss ondisposal. Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost iscalculated as follows; Raw materials - cost of purchase on first in, first out basis Work in progress and - cost of raw materials and labour andfinished goods attributable overheads Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs tocompletion and disposal. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments,estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies andthe reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognisedin the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periodsaffected. Revenue recognition Revenue represents sales and royalty income receivable under licence agreementsfrom external customers at amounts less value added tax, and recognised when thesignificant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economicbenefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Other operating income Operating income represents non-refundable upfront licence payments received forthe grant of rights for the development and marketing of products, contributionsreceived to research and development, government grants of a revenue nature andother sundry income. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings and plant and equipment held for use in the production ofgoods and services or for administrative purposes are carried in the balancesheet at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequentaccumulated impairment losses. The Group has elected to use the fair value as the deemed cost for land andbuildings at the date of transition to IFRS. The revaluation increase arising onthe revaluation of the land and buildings is credited to a revaluation reserve.Depreciation on the revalued buildings is charged to income. On the subsequentsale or retirement of a revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplusremaining in the revaluation reserve will be transferred directly to retainedearnings. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost, less estimated residual values,of all property, plant and equipment, over the expected useful life of the assetfrom the date that the asset is brought into use. It is calculated at thefollowing rates: • Freehold property - 4% per annum • Leasehold improvements - over the length of the lease • Motor vehicles - 25% per annum on cost • Plant and machinery - 6.67% to 33.3% per annum on cost • Fixtures and fittings - 33.3% per annum on cost • Computers - 33.3% per annum on cost No depreciation is provided on freehold land. Intangible assets Research and development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining newscientific or technical knowledge, is recognised in the income statement as anexpense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on development activities where research findings are applied to aplan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products andprocesses is capitalised once it can be demonstrated that the product or processis clearly identifiable, technically and commercially feasible, will generatefuture economic benefits and the Group has sufficient resources to completedevelopment. Expenditure capitalised is stated as the cost of materials, directlabour and an appropriate proportion of overheads less accumulated amortisation. Where development expenditure results in new or substantially improved productsor processes and it is probable that recovery will take place, it is capitalisedand amortised on a straight line basis over the product's useful life startingfrom the date on which serial production commences which is between one and 10years. The life and value of the assets are assessed at least annually forimpairment. If impairment has occurred, the value of the asset is written downimmediately. If the useful life of the asset is reduced, the remaining bookvalue of the asset is amortised over its reduced life. Patents and trademarks Patents and trademarks are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortisedon a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which is betweenthree and twenty years. Computer software costs Where computer software is not integral to an item of property, plant orequipment its costs are capitalised and categorised as intangible assets.Amortisation is provided on a straight line basis over its economic useful lifewhich is in the range of three to five years. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised and carried at the lower of their originalinvoiced value and recoverable amount. Provision is made when it is likely thatthe balance will not be recovered in full. Balances are written off when theprobability of recovery is considered remote. Leasing assets Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfersubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group. All otherleases are classified as operating leases. Assets held as finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at theirfair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease paymentsduring the lease term at the inception of the lease. Lease payments areapportioned between the reduction of the lease liability and finance charges inthe income statement so as to achieve a constant rate of interest in theremaining balance of the liability. Assets held under finance leases aredepreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and thelease term. Assets leased under operating leases are not recorded on the balance sheet.Rental payments are charged directly to the income statement. Lease incentives,primarily up-front cash payments or rent-free periods, are capitalised andspread over the period of the lease term. Payments made to acquire operatingleases are treated as prepaid lease expenses and amortised over the life of thelease. Investments Cash held in accounts with more than 90 days' notice that are not required tomeet short term cash commitments are shown as an investment. The Group investsfunds which are surplus to requirements in fixed rate deposits operating withinparameters for credit ratings and credit limits for individual institutions thatare approved and monitored by the Board. Pensions The Group operated a money purchase pension scheme. The assets of the scheme areheld separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund.The amount charged against the profit and loss account represents thecontributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. Deferred taxation Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in respect of all taxable temporarydifferences that arise unless they result from initial recognition of goodwillor the transaction is not a business combination and does not affect accountingprofit and taxable profit. Temporary differences are calculated as thedifference between the carrying value of an asset or liability and its tax base.Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply inthe periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on taxrates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balancesheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised, on an undiscounted basis, to the extent thatthey are regarded as recoverable, when on the basis of all available evidence itis more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from whichthe future reversal of the underlying difference can be deducted. Foreign currencies The presentation currency of the Group and functional currency of AdvancedMedical Solutions Group plc is pounds sterling. The financial statements for each of the Group's subsidiaries are prepared usingtheir functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of theprimary economic environment in which an entity operates. The financial statements of overseas subsidiaries whose functional currency isother than sterling are translated at each balance sheet date. Closing rate isused to retranslate assets and liabilities whilst average rate is used toretranslate the income statement. Exchange differences are recognised in aseparate component of equity. The Group has elected to reset all cumulativetranslation differences for all foreign operations to zero at the date oftransition to IFRS in accordance with the exemption allowed to first timeadopters of IFRS. Borrowing costs All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period inwhich they are incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal orconstructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligationand a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Share based payments The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based payments. IFRS hasbeen applied to all options granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested asof 1 January 2006. The Group issues equity-settled share based payments to certain employees.Equity settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date ofgrant. The fair value as determined at the grant date of equity-settled sharebased payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period,based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. Fair value is measured by use of a Black-Scholes model. The expected life usedin the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for theeffect of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioralconsiderations. The Group adopted FRS20 Share-based payments for the first time in its financialresults for the year ending 31 December 2006. Cash flow Cash and short term deposits comprise cash at banks and in hand and short termdeposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are held for thepurpose of meeting short term cash commitments and are subject to insignificantrisk in change in value. Cash held in accounts with more than 90 day's noticethat are not required to meet short term cash commitments are shown as aninvestment. Segment information For management purposes, the Group is organised into two business units,Advanced woundcare and Wound closure and sealants. These divisions are the basison which the Group reports its primary segment information. Intersegment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to asegment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.Unallocated items comprise mainly investments, and related revenue, corporateassets, head office expenses and income tax assets. Business segments The principal activities of the Advanced woundcare business unit are theresearch, development, manufacture and distribution of novel, high performancepolymers for the healthcare market.

Earnings/(loss) per share The basic earnings/(loss) per share has been calculated on a weighted averagenumber of shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2007, namely142,430,205 (2006: 142,082,536) and profit of £808k (2006 : loss of £138k). The diluted earnings per share has been calculated by adjusting the weightedaverage number of ordinary shares in issue to assume the conversion of alldilutive potential shares, namely 149,097,569 (2006: 142,082,536) and a profitof £808k (2006: loss of £138k). 5.

Appendix to the Interim report To explain the impact of the transition, reconciliations have been included thatshow the changes made to the statements previously reported under UK GAAP. Thefollowing unaudited reconciliations are included. • Reconciliation of Group balance sheet at 31 December 2005 from UK GAAP to IFRS. • Reconciliation of Group income statement for the 6 months ending 30 June 2006 from UK GAAP to IFRS. • Reconciliation of the Group balance sheet at 30 June 2006 from UK GAAP to IFRS. • Reconciliation of Group income statement for the 12 months ending 31 December 2006 from UK GAAP to IFRS. • Reconciliation of Group balance sheet at 31 December 2006 from UK GAAP to IFRS. • Consolidated interim statement of changes in equity. The transition from UK GAAP to IFRS does not affect the cash flows generated bythe Group. The IFRS cash flow statement is in a different format than thatrequired under UK GAAP. The reconciling items between UK GAAP format and IFRSformat have no net impact on the cash flows generated and accordinglyreconciliations have not been presented. The Group's date of transition is 1 January 2006. The accounting policies usedfor IFRS are set out in Note 3. Descriptions of the reconciling items between UK GAAP and IFRS are listed below.The amounts of the reconciling items are detailed in the tables set out beneatheach of the reconciliations. Intangible assets On transition the Group has reclassified separately identifiable computersoftware assets from tangible to intangible asset following the provisions ofIAS 38. Expenditure on development activities resulting in new or substantially improvedproducts which will generate future economic benefits is now capitalised andamortised over the products' useful life. Previously, under UK GAAP, all suchdevelopment costs were expensed. Property, plant and equipment The Group has elected to use the fair value as the deemed cost for land andbuildings at the date of transition to IFRS. The revaluation increase arising onthe revaluation is credited to a revaluation reserve. Deferred tax IAS 12 takes a balance sheet approach to deferred tax whereby deferred tax isrecognised in the balance sheet by applying the appropriate tax rate to thetemporary differences arising between the carrying value of assets andliabilities and their tax base. IAS12 does not permit discounting of deferredtax balances. The Group has recognised a deferred tax liability resulting fromthe revaluation of property, plant and equipment which has been debited to therevaluation reserve. It has also increased the value of the deferred tax assetfrom unwinding the discount factors on the deferred tax asset recognised underUK GAAP. The Group, on transition to IFRS, has recognised a deferred tax asset arising onthe difference between market value and exercise price of unexercised employeeoptions and LTIPS.
