Basis of preparation The interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of accounting policies consistent with those applied in the 1999 financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes set out in the note below. The information is unaudited but has been reviewed by the auditor, KPMG Audit Plc, and their report is reproduced after these notes. The information does not comprise the statutory accounts of the group. The statutory accounts of Diageo plc for the year ended 30 June 1999 have been filed with the registrar of companies. KPMG Audit Plc have reported on these accounts; their report was unqualified and did not contain any statement under section 237 of the Companies Act 1985. 9. Accounting policy changes The interim financial information complies, where appropriate, with the following Financial Reporting Standards issued by the UK Accounting Standards Board. FRS 15 - Tangible Fixed Assets. This standard addresses the measurement, valuation and depreciation of tangible fixed assets. The group has adopted the transitional arrangements of the standard and has retained the book amounts of certain tangible assets which were previously revalued. It is expected that no further valuations will be carried out. FRS 16 - Current Tax. This standard was issued in December 1999. It specifies how current tax, in particular withholding tax and tax credits, should be reflected in financial statements. Compliance with this standard has not given rise to any restatement of figures reported for prior periods. INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO DIAGEO plc Introduction We have been instructed by the company to review the interim financial information set out on pages 15 to 20 and 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. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The Listing Rules of the London Stock Exchange require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing annual accounts except where they are to be changed in the next annual accounts in which case any changes, and the reasons for them, are to be disclosed. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4: Review of Interim Financial Information issued by the Auditing Practices Board. 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards 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 financial information as presented for the six months ended 31 December 1999.
