Annual Improvements 2010-2012 and Annual Improvements 2011-2013; and

IFRIC 21, 'Levies'.

The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on these non-statutory consolidated financial statements.

The following standards and interpretations were issued by the IASB and IFRIC since the last Annual Report, but have not been adopted either because they were not endorsed by the European Union (EU) at 31 December 2014 or they are not yet mandatory and the Group has not chosen to early adopt. The impact on the Group's financial statements of the future standards, amendments and interpretations is still under review, but the Group does not expect any of these changes to have a material impact on the results or the net assets of the Group:

The preparation of the non-statutory financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported income and expense, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the non-statutory financial statements. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on management's best judgment at the date of the non-statutory financial statements, actual results may differ from these estimates.

For these non-statutory financial statements the Group is not adopting the columnar format for its consolidated income statement.

Prior period restatements

The restatement to the 12 months ended 31 December 2013 relates to insufficient deferred tax liability being recognised against historical intangible assets acquired and the 2014 Rights Issue.

The deferred tax liability is recognised in respect of the amortisation of the acquired intangibles which have no or partial tax base for the Group. The deferred tax is then released to the income statement over the same period as the amortisation of the acquired intangible assets.

The correction of these entries result in an increase in deferred tax liability, goodwill and a resulting credit to the income statement as the deferred tax liability is unwound over the useful economic lives of the associated purchased intangibles. In addition in circumstances where the underlying assets have been recognised in a currency other than sterling there is an adjustment in relation to the retranslation of these balances.

On 22 August 2014, the Group announced a Rights Issue in relation to its proposed acquisition of the Frank Russell Company. The

Rights Issue constituted 74,347,813 new ordinary shares of par value 6 79/86 at 1,295p. This generated share premium of GBP957.7m. Consequently the 2013 basic and adjusted earnings per share numbers have been restated using the weighted average share count as if the rights issue had taken place at the start of the period.
