15. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group in terms of preventing or restricting execution of our strategy during the period under review and for the remainder of the financial period have not materially changed from those set out on pages 20 to 24 of the Domino's Pizza Group plc Annual Report and Accounts 2014. However, the Company has appointed a new Chief Financial Officer and, therefore, this is no longer considered to be a risk for the remainder of the financial period.

In summary, the Group is exposed to the following main risks:

o Business Strategy

o Strategic direction - the risk of implementing a strategy in newer markets such as Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg that does not achieve the desired outcomes

o Germany - Germany remains a challenge and the Group is dedicated to focusing on its success and growth

o Food Production, Storage and Suppliers

o Failure of a critical supplier - we are reliant upon the continued operation of various third-party suppliers who provide raw materials

o Food safety and compliance - The Supply Chain Centres must comply with applicable food safety rules and regulations and our franchisees must ensure that all stores are also compliant

o Production issues or destruction on Supply Chain Centres - One of the key functions of the business is production of dough and the distribution of food and other store items by our Supply Chain Centres

o Competition

o Competitors and consumer trends - failure to compete on product, service and quality and changes in consumer tastes, brand relevance and demographic trends

o Franchisees

o Material deterioration in relationships with franchisees - relationships with franchisees are key to the Group's success as the franchisees drive a large part of the business

o Commercial leverage of large franchisees - certain franchisees are now of considerable scale and therefore there is a risk that should these franchisees be allowed to expand further they could attempt to leverage off their size with a view to gaining preferential treatment from the Group

o Brand Reputation

o Reputational damage or loss of confidence in the brand - any significant act, omission or harmful allegation that is made in public in relation to the brand could lead to significant media interest and potentially bad publicity

o Information Technology and Security

o Data protection and security - significant failure in, or successful attacks on, our IT infrastructure, systems and processes could impact online sales and place customer data at risk of loss or theft

o Property

o Store growth - continuing acquisition and development of property sites carries inherent risk as challenges exist in relation to finding new sites, obtaining planning permission (or other consents and compliance) in the countries in which the Group operates

o People

o Employees - failure to attract, retain, develop and motivate the best people at all levels

o Corporate Governance

o Internal controls, fraud and compliance - ensuring the Group has the appropriate internal controls and policies

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO DOMINO'S PIZZA GROUP PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the 26 weeks ended 28 June 2015 which comprises the Group Income Statement, Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, Group Balance Sheet, Group Statement of Changes in Equity, Group Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
