Appendix A - Principal risks & uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties relating to The Weir Group PLC are set out
on pages 34 to 36 of the 2010 Annual Report.  The following is extracted in full
and unedited form from the 2010 Annual Report.

Risk  is inherent in  the Group's business  activities and, as  a consequence of
operating  a comprehensive risk management process, the Group has identified the
following  principal  risks  and  uncertainties  which  it believes could have a
materially  adverse effect on its business, revenues, profit, assets, liquidity,
resources  and  reputation.  The  nature  of  risk  is  such that no list can be
comprehensive  and it is possible that other  risks may arise, or that risks not
currently  considered material may become so  in the future. Any forward-looking
statements  in  the  annual  report  or  otherwise  made  by the Group should be
considered  in light  of these  risk factors.  The Group  operates the  risk and
control  framework as described  in the Corporate  Governance report to identify
these  risks  and  has  adopted  a  Sustainability  Strategy as described in the
Sustainability report to mitigate against these risks.

Appendix B - Directors Responsibility Statement

The following statement is extracted from page 43 of the 2010 Annual Report.
 This statement relates solely to the 2010 Annual Report and is not connected to
the extracted information set out in this announcement or in the 2010
Preliminary Results Announcement dated 8 March 2011.

The  directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company  law requires  the directors  to prepare  financial statements  for each
financial  year. Under that law, the directors have prepared the Group financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as  adopted  by  the  European  Union  and  the  Company financial statements in
accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law.
In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:
· select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
· make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
·  state that the Group financial statements  have complied with IFRS as adopted
by  the European Union,  subject to any  material departures being disclosed and
explained and
· state for the Company financial statements whether the applicable UK
Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
being disclosed and explained.

The  directors confirm  that they  have complied  with the above requirements in
preparing the financial statements.
Each  of the directors, as at  the date of this report,  confirms to the best of
his knowledge that:
· the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities,
financial position and profit of the Group and
· the directors report includes a fair review of the development and performance
of  the business and the  position of the Group,  together with a description of
the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.
The  directors  are  responsible  for  keeping  proper  accounting records which
disclose  with reasonable  accuracy at  any time  the financial  position of the
Group  and enable them to ensure that the Group financial statements comply with
the  2006 Act and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. They are also responsible for
safeguarding  the assets of the Group and  hence for taking reasonable steps for
the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
