Principal Activitythe principal activity of the group is the operation of multiplex cinemas. the principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company.

Business Review Market positionthe group is the market leader in Europe. It is a market leader in the UK/Ireland, spain and Italy, with a presence in three other European markets. at the year-end date, the group operated a total of 2,179 screens in 236 cinema sites, in a combination of freehold, long leasehold and short leasehold properties. the business operates under the name of Odeon in the UK and Ireland; UCI in germany, Italy, austria and Portugal; and Cinesa in spain.

Portfolio development – additional cinemasDuring 2012, eight cinemas were added to the group’s portfolio as follows:march the Point, Dublin, Ireland (6 screens)July BFI, london (high profile managed site with 1 screen, the biggest in the UK)september Broadway Plaza, Birmingham, UK (12 screens)October llanelli, UK (5 screens) Puerto Venecia, Zaragoza, spain (10 screens)November Dorchester, UK (3 screens) as Cancelas, santiago, spain (8 screens)December Catania, Italy (7 screens)

Portfolio development – major refurbishmentsIn london, the Whiteleys cinema was redeveloped during late 2011 and reopened in January 2012. It now includes “the lounge”, the group’s unique luxury offering that includes reclining leather seating and at-seat service of fine food and drink.

there were three other major refurbishments in the UK during the year, which included the “Odeon studios” adjacent to the flagship leicester square cinema in london, and two in spain.

Digital projectionthe conversion of the whole group to digital projection was completed in July 2012, supported by external funding arrangements.

the benefits from digital are in the process of being realised: 3D projection is established; significant staff cost savings have been achieved, with more to follow; screen advertising advantages are starting to be seen; and alternative content is growing. there is an ongoing appetite from our customers for 3D film product, which commands a ticket price premium. In 2012, approximately 17% of our cinema attendance and 21% of our box office revenue arose from 3D films, both slightly down on prior year due to the relative success in 2012 of 2D films, such as skyfall.

iSens projectionisens is the group’s proprietary big screen brand in Continental Europe, similar in concept to ImaX. It was launched initially during 2011 with good results at two cinemas in spain and one in Italy. During 2012, nineteen further isens screens opened in Continental Europe and the system was introduced at one site in the UK and two in Ireland, where the slightly different brand name isense is used.

Retail and other developmentsthe group has continued to invest in rolling out improved retail food and drink offerings, broadening the range of products available to customers. a further 21 Costa Coffee locations were added during the year in the UK and Ireland, bringing the total to 43 at year-end. In spain, following earlier trials, further coffee shops using the premium Farggi brand were opened, bringing the total to 4 at year-end. a video on demand (VOD) platform in spain was launched during November 2012 and at two sites in the UK, trials of a “4D” experience using motion seats were commenced. Both are in their early stages and their potential and performance will become clearer during 2013.

(1) Market data is provisional and for some territories is a full market estimate based on information available for part of the market.(2) Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, one-off costs (2012: £3m and 2011: £3m), exceptional items and rent payable to the Odeon Property Group LLP (“PropCo”). The rent payable to PropCo was £10m (2011: £10m). EBITDA includes a £9m credit to rent with regard to prior years, as described overleaf.

Main Market Attendance Growth 2012 v 2011On a weighted average basis, the market volumes in the group’s major territories were down 3% overall.

Attendance (millions) (1) 2010 2011 2012 2012 vs 2011 growth

UK 168.8 172.1 172.5 +0.3%spain 101.6 98.4 92.9 (5.6%)germany 126.6 129.6 135.2 +4.4%Italy 121.3 112.1 101.0 (9.9%)

Despite a very strong fourth quarter, attendance volumes for the year in the group’s markets overall ended lower than the previous year. germany was ahead, with strong results in particular for the Intouchables and skyfall. the UK was slightly ahead, as the strong Q4 titles, especially skyfall, offset the weakness earlier in the year, impacted by the golden Jubilee, the European Football Championships and the Olympics and Paralympics. spain and Italy ended the year lower than 2011 because of the weaker first nine months, with a thinner film slate, unusually adverse weather and the impact of the European Football Championships, with both countries playing to the final. the exceptional combination of these factors led to unusually low volumes for the year. In aggregate on a weighted average basis, our major markets declined by 3% year-on-year.

KPIsthe primary KPIs followed by the group are attendance and EBItDa(2). group Paid attendance was 4% higher in 2012 than in 2011, with 82.3m vs 79.2m customers, reflecting growth from acquisitions and other estate development net of lower markets.

EBItDa(2) was down 2% to £101m (2011: £103m). the group also follows supplementary KPIs including revenue per customer, film hire costs, retail margins, staff and other costs. lower markets and 3D proportions than in 2011 were mitigated by improved revenue KPIs on the like-for-like estate, both ticket revenue and retail revenue per customer, and good cost control, particularly over staff costs.

the EBItDa(2) growth trend over recent years is illustrated by the following table.

£m 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

EBItDa 65 68 72 80 92 103 101

Financial Resultsgroup turnover for the year was marginally lower at £724m (2011: £725m). at constant foreign exchange rates, group turnover was up 4%. as stated above, EBItDa(2) was £101m in 2012, a decrease of 2% on the equivalent figure of £103m in 2011. the EBItDa(2) of £101m is prior to charging non-cash depreciation and amortisation of £74m and other items as footnoted. an operating profit was reported of £13m (2011: £26m).

Interest costs in the profit and loss account, excluding non-cash items, were £52m in 2012 (2011: £41m).

the loss for the year of £84m (2011: £69m loss) was after total non-cash charges of £122m (2011: £119m), including £74m (2011: £65m) depreciation and amortisation, £41m (2011: £38m) financing cost accrual on loan notes and £3m (2011: £11m) amortisation of loan issue costs.

Asset Accounting ReviewDuring 2012, an exercise was completed to review depreciation rates and asset accounting generally. the principal conclusions were that:(i) useful lives in relation to certain categories of assets for depreciation purposes were too short relative to actual asset lives; and(ii) certain contributions from landlords relating to assets would be more appropriately accounted-for under the group’s existing

lease incentives accounting policy rather than as reductions in capital expenditure.

the resultant accounting changes made were as follows:(i) asset lives for depreciation calculation purposes were revised where appropriate. the impact on depreciation in the profit and

loss account was a reduction of approximately £9.0m for 2012.(ii) adjustments were made in 2012 to the accounting for contributions from landlords as follows: a) Fixed asset cost of £52.8m was added to the balance sheet.

Depreciation of £10.9m was charged through the profit and loss account on this asset cost, of which £9.1m related to previous years. Depreciation of £0.5m was also posted to goodwill, in relation to pre-acquisition periods of businesses purchased in 2011. the resultant fixed asset net book value at the 2012 balance sheet date was £41.4m.

b) a creditor (deferred income) of £52.8m was added to the balance sheet, reflecting the lease incentives received. the creditor was partly released to the profit and loss account during 2012, reducing rentals under operating leases by £10.9m, of which £9.1m related to previous years. amounts of £0.5m were also posted to goodwill, in relation to pre-acquisition periods of businesses purchased in 2011. the resultant creditor carrying value at the 2012 balance sheet date was £41.4m.

there was no impact on total operating expenses, profit, net assets or cash from any of the adjustments described in (ii) above.

Investment and Net Debtthe group continued to invest to grow future earnings and enhance the high quality of the existing estate.

In terms of asset additions, £12m was incurred on capital maintenance of the estate; £12m on additional sites for 2012 and future periods; and £20m on other revenue-generating projects. a further investment of £24m was made in digital assets. Digital assets are primarily externally funded but nevertheless shown on the group balance sheet, as described in note 1 to the accounts. accounting adjustments were also made to capitalise assets funded by landlord contributions, as described above. total asset additions for 2012, as shown in note 13 to the accounts, were £121m. Net cash spend on capital expenditure was £42m (2011: £51m).

Net debt excluding loan notes and finance leases was £411m (2011: £392m) at year-end, reflecting the continuing application of may 2011 bond issue proceeds in investment to develop the business.

Loans to Odeon Property Group LLPDuring 2007, 31 UK properties were sold to and leased back from subsidiaries of Odeon Property group llP (the “PropCos”), which are related parties. the consideration was partly settled in cash during 2007 and the remaining balance was left outstanding on account, accruing interest, see note 30.

at the 2009 year-end, in view of valuations in the property market at that time, the directors considered the recoverability of the amounts receivable from the PropCos and concluded that it was prudent to reduce their carrying values whilst market property valuations remained below historic levels. the carrying value of the loans was considered again for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 accounts and the directors concluded that the existing level of provision remains appropriate.

Principal Risks and Risk Managementthe principal risk to the business is lower attendance. there is some volatility year on year, depending on the film slate, which in turn depends on production from Hollywood and local content in each country. an increase in the availability of pirated films, changes to customer film viewing habits or the level of competition from other exhibitors may also have an impact on attendance. the risk to earnings performance is mitigated by cost savings in film hire and staff, which reduce at lower attendances, and by controlling discretionary costs and capital expenditure.

Economic conditions continue to be challenging although there are signs of the beginning of a potential recovery in screen advertis-ing following reductions over the previous three years. the group has maintained good cost control in a year where a number of exceptional factors as described in the market commentary above have resulted in unusually low volumes.

some commentators are concerned about the impact of the increasing penetration of home cinema equipment and online film downloads on cinema attendance. similar concerns were expressed with the introduction of tV, Video Cassettes and DVDs. the directors believe that cinema continues to offer excellent value in the “going out” market and that there will be ongoing demand for the cinema experience for the foreseeable future.

the principal financial risk to the group is the movement of interest rates. Following the 2011 refinancing, the sterling element of the senior secured notes (£300m) is at a fixed interest rate of 9.0% and, to hedge the Euro element (€200m) which is at floating rates, a three year interest rate swap is in place to fix the effective total rate to 9.07% until may 2014.

the group’s foreign exchange position is naturally hedged by holding a proportion of debt in Euros similar to the proportion of earn-ings. most of the group’s excess cash is held in sterling.

Future Prospectsthe group will continue to invest in its existing portfolio of sites and seek new site opportunities and acquisition targets.

Going Concern and Liquidity ManagementFollowing a refinancing in may 2011, senior secured notes totalling £300m and €200m are in issue. the term of the notes is 7 years. Furthermore, agreements were entered during may 2011 that provide the group with a £90m committed Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”) for working capital management and other purposes, which put the group in a strong liquidity position. the term of the RCF is 6 years. Under these new financing arrangements, there are no regular maintenance covenant ratio tests: ratios are tested only upon certain events which are within the control of the group, such as raising additional external debt.

the directors believe that the group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. With this in mind, the directors have formally considered and concluded that the preparation of financial statements on a going concern basis is appropri-ate. Further details are shown in the “Basis of preparation” section of note 1 to the financial statements.

Board of Directors and Management of the GroupDuring the year, and at 31 December 2012, the board of directors of Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings limited consisted of terra Firma representatives, members of the group’s executive management team and independent non-executive directors, as follows:

Post Balance Sheet Eventsthere were no disclosable post balance sheet events prior to the date of signature of this report and financial statements.

Dividendsthe directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2011: £nil) with respect to preference or ordinary shares.

Ownership terra Firma Investments (gP) 2 limited, acting as general partner of the six limited partnerships which constitute the terra Firma Capital Partners II Fund, terra Firma Capital Partners II lP-H, tFCP II Co-Investment 2 lP and tFCP II Co-Investment 2a lP (“terra Firma”), has the ability to exercise a controlling influence over the Company and the group through the holding of shares in a parent of the Company.

terra Firma, through new holding companies, acquired the Odeon and UCI businesses from their respective vendors in late 2004.

Creditor Payment Policythe group does not follow any specific external code or standard on payments practice. Payments to suppliers are made in accordance with agreed terms. the Company itself had no trade creditors at 31 December 2012.

Employee involvementEmployment in the group decreased 2% to 9,407 in 2012 compared to 9,591 in 2011 (average number of employees, including part time employees). meetings are held on a regular basis with employees to review attendance, film slate, financial and operating performance. Information is cascaded from senior management teams to cinema teams. there is an annual cinema management conference in all territories and more frequent regional meetings. there is opportunity at these meetings for senior managers to be questioned about matters which concern the employees.

Employment of disabled peopleFull and fair consideration is given to applications for employment made by disabled persons having regard to their particular aptitudes and abilities. Wherever possible the employment of members of staff who become disabled will be continued under normal terms and conditions and appropriate training and career development will be offered.

Communitythe cinema is an important part of social life in local communities. Cinema management maintain close contact with local community representatives, politicians and businesses. Cinemas are used as meeting places for purposes other than only films. sub-brands have been developed which cater for special interest groups and employees actively participate in charitable fundraising activities.

Health and Safetythe policy of the group is to endeavour at all times to achieve the highest standards of health, safety and welfare for its employees, customers and other visitors. to this end, clearly-defined policies, procedures, roles and responsibilities are in place, and supervision, instruction, information and appropriate training are provided. a full management system including monitoring of safety standards, independent audits and review of all key findings by senior management is in place. the system has been independently reviewed to ensure compliance with the relevant standards.

Environmentthe group has taken steps to reduce its impact on the environment and is committed to continuing to do so. Efficiency savings have been made in gas and electricity consumption, and water consumption has been reduced through the introduction of flow reduction systems. Waste reduction is also a priority, in particular through the sourcing of more recyclable and environmentally-friendly products.

Pursuant to section 487 of the Companies act 2006, the auditor will be deemed to be reappointed and KPmg llP will therefore continue in office.

1 Accounting policiesthe following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements.

Basis of preparationthe financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and under the historical cost accounting rules. Upon acquisition, assets are included at fair value.

Going concern and liquidity managementthe financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. the directors have formally considered and concluded that this remains appropriate. the conclusion has been reached, despite the fact that the consolidated balance sheet shows a shareholders’ deficit, because the group has long term funding in place. Further detail is set out below.

the business activities of the group, and its future prospects, are described within the Directors’ Report.

Following a refinancing in may 2011, senior secured notes totalling £300 million and €200 million are in issue. the term of the notes is 7 years. Furthermore, agreements were entered during may 2011 that provide the group with a £90 million committed Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”) for working capital management and other purposes, which put the group in a strong liquidity position. the term of the RCF is 6 years. Under these new financing arrangements, there are no regular maintenance covenant ratio tests: ratios are tested only upon certain events which are within the control of the group, such as raising additional external debt.

Basis of consolidationOdeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings limited was incorporated on 19 march 2007. On 4 april 2007 a group structure amendment took place with the result that Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings limited was introduced as a new holding company for the group. merger accounting was adopted as the basis of consolidation following this group structure amendment. By adopting this accounting treatment the consolidated financial information included in these accounts has been shown as though the structure change had occurred prior to 1 January 2007.

the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2012. the acquisition method of accounting has been adopted for acquisitions completed subsequent to the april 2007 group structure amendment. Under this method, the results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. a joint venture is an undertaking in which the group has a long-term interest and over which it exercises joint control. the group’s share of the profits less losses of joint ventures is included in the consolidated profit and loss account and its interest in their net assets is included in investments in the consolidated balance sheet.

Under section 408 of the Companies act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss account. the amount of the profit/(loss) dealt with in the Company financial statements is disclosed in note 24 to these financial statements.

Turnoverturnover represents amounts charged to customers for goods, services and property rental income, stated net of value added tax, which is recognised based on the date the goods and services are received and the period over which the rental income is earned.

Goodwillgoodwill, being the difference between the costs of businesses acquired and the fair value of their separable net assets is included in the balance sheet as an intangible asset in accordance with FRs 10 “goodwill and Intangible assets” and is amortised over its useful economic life which the directors estimate to be 20 years.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible fixed assetsDepreciation is provided on the cost or revaluation of tangible fixed assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

land is not depreciatedFreehold buildings - 2% per annumlong leasehold property - over the period of the lease to a maximum of 50 yearsshort leasehold property - over the period of the leasePlant, fixtures and fittings - 4 – 33% per annum

assets under construction (the construction and redevelopment of cinemas) are not depreciated as these assets are not available for use in the business.

Digital projectionCertain digital projectors and related assets located and operated in group premises, which are funded and legally owned by independent third parties, are recognised in the group’s consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding deferred income creditor of the same carrying value is recognised. the fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives and the corresponding deferred income balance is released against this depreciation over the same period.

Foreign currenciestransactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the contracted rate or the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. the foreign currency assets and liabilities of subsidiary undertakings are translated at the closing exchange rates. Profit and loss accounts of such undertakings are consolidated at the monthly average rates of exchange during the year. gains and losses arising on these translations are generally taken to reserves: they are taken through the profit and loss account for the year only to the extent that translation gains or losses in relation to foreign currency assets are exceeded by those on foreign currency borrowings, excluding borrowings in place as long term strategic funding which are not expected to be settled without replacement.

InvestmentsInvestments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provisions for any impairment.

Asset Impairmentthe carrying amounts of the group’s assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the fixed assets of income-generating units may not be recoverable. Indications include the recognition of an onerous lease provision in relation to specific income-generating units. If this or any other such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated and an appropriate impairment loss is recognised.

Reversals of impairmentan impairment loss is reversed where the recoverable amount increases as a result of a change in economic conditions or in the expected use of the asset.

an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Stocksstocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

LeasesRental costs under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease on a straight line basis. Certain leases with related parties contain inflation-driven rental uplifts with pre-determined minimums: the amount payable in respect of these uplifts is charged to the profit and loss account as it arises. assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and the outstanding future lease obligations are shown in creditors. Provision is made for lease commitments on certain leasehold properties based on the expected exposure. the amount provided is based either on the future rental obligations (discounted by 7.5%, based on property yields), net of anticipated operating profit from trading (discounted by 10.0%, based on cost of capital), or management’s best estimate of the expected exposure. Provision is made for the remaining period of the leases identified, subject to a maximum of 25 years, after which the directors consider the impact of discounting upon the rental and trading projections renders them immaterial.

Pre-opening costsOperating costs incurred before a new cinema is opened are written off to the profit and loss account as incurred.

Taxationthe charge for taxation is based on the loss for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes.

Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRs 19.

Cash and liquid resourcesCash, for the purpose of the cash flow statement, comprises cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand, less overdrafts payable on demand. liquid resources are current asset investments which are disposable without curtailing or disrupting the business and are either readily convertible into known amounts of cash at or close to their carrying values or traded in an active market.

Loan notes loan notes are held in the balance sheet at their issued amount less directly attributable issue costs plus the accrued finance charge which has arisen on them. the finance charge accrues at a constant rate over the term of the notes.

Senior secured notessenior secured notes are stated net of unamortised issue costs. Interest accrued on the senior secured notes is shown within accruals and deferred income.

Pensionsthe group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. the assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund. the amount charged to the profit and loss account represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

the group also operates two pension schemes providing benefits based on final pensionable pay. the assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the group.

Pension scheme assets are measured using market values. For quoted securities the current bid price is taken as market value. Pension scheme liabilities are measured using a projected unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability.

the pension scheme surplus (to the extent that it is recoverable) or deficit is recognised in full. the movement in the scheme surplus/deficit is split between operating charges, finance items and, in the statement of total recognised gains and losses, actuarial gains and losses.

Derivativesthe group’s financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, cash and liquid resources and other various items such as trade debtors, trade creditors etc. the main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group’s operation.

the group also enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk arising from the group’s sources of finance. amounts payable or receivable in respect of interest rate swap transactions are recognised on an accruals basis until settlement date and are treated as an adjustment to the interest expense over the period of the contract.

all derivatives are held for hedging purposes.

10 Taxation (continued)Factors affecting the tax charge / (credit) for the current year

the current tax credit for the year is lower (2011: tax charge higher) than the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK at 24.5% (2011: 26.5%). the differences are explained below.

2012 2011 £m £m

Current tax reconciliation loss on ordinary activities before tax (86.4) (66.3) Current tax at 24.5% (2011: 26.5%) (21.2) (17.6) Effects of: Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 17.3 15.2Capital allowances for period (in excess of) / less than depreciation (1.8) 3.0Other timing differences (1.1) 0.1losses not utilised 7.4 2.4Provision for local taxes 0.8 1.4Overseas rate differences (0.2) (2.0)adjustments in respect of prior years (1.3) (0.7) total current tax (credit) / charge (see above) (0.1) 1.8 the 2013 UK Budget on 21 march 2013 announced that the UK corporation tax rate will reduce to 21% from 1 april 2014, and to 20% from 1 april 2015. a reduction in the rate from 26% to 25% (effective from 1 april 2012) was substantively enacted on 5 July 2011, and further reductions to 24% (effective from 1 april 2012) and 23% (effective from 1 april 2013) were substantively enacted on 26 march 2012 and 3 July 2012 respectively.

this will reduce the group’s future current tax charge accordingly. the deferred tax asset at 31 December 2012 has been calculated based on the rate of 23% substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

It has not yet been possible to quantify the full anticipated effect of the announced further 3% rate reduction, although this will further reduce the group’s future current tax charge and reduce the group’s deferred tax asset accordingly.

In accordance with FRs 11, a review was performed to establish whether or not there were any indications of impairment to the carrying amount of tangible fixed assets. the review concluded that there were no such indications other than for those sites with onerous lease provisions, whose tangible fixed asset values have been written down. the approach to asset impairment reviews is described in more detail in note 1.

adjustments were made during 2012 to the accounting for certain contributions from landlords, in order to treat them as lease incentives rather than as reductions in capital expenditure, as described in the Directors’ Report and elsewhere in these financial statements. In relation to this change, the note above includes adjustments in 2012 relating to prior years which have increased cost by £41.8m and increased depreciation by £9.1m.

19 Creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year (continued)Following a refinancing in may 2011, senior secured notes totalling £300m and €200m are in issue. the sterling element of the senior secured notes (£300m) is at a fixed interest rate of 9.00% and, to hedge the Euro element (€200m) which is at floating rates, a three year interest rate swap is in place to fix the effective total rate to 9.07%. all the senior secured notes are scheduled to mature on august 1, 2018. they are listed on the luxembourg stock Exchange and traded on the Euro mtF market. the senior secured notes are secured by liens over the assets of certain group companies. the asset classes secured, which vary by jurisdiction, include share capital, material bank accounts and other material assets. as part of the refinancing, a £90m revolving credit facility (“RCF”) was also put in place. It is available until may 2017 and secured in a similar way to, whilst receiving priority over, the senior secured notes. the draw down on RCF loans was £nil (2011: £nil) at the year-end.

the aggregate amount of loan notes issued to a related party included in creditors falling due after more than one year is £414.8m (2011: £378.6m). this is the net book value based on the aggregate issued amounts of £240.8m (2011: £243.6m) plus interest accrued of £174.0m (2011: £135.0m). Further details are set out below:

20 Derivatives and other financial instrumentsshort-term debtors and creditors are excluded from the disclosures relating to derivatives and other financial instruments. there is no material difference between the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and the carrying value in the balance sheet.

Financial assetsFinancial assets comprise cash at bank and in hand and are held in sterling and Euro. Interest is earned on cash at bank at floating interest rates linked to short-term bank deposit rates.

Financial liabilitiesthe group borrows in the desired currencies at both fixed and floating rates of interest. Interest rate hedging contracts (swaps) are used to generate the desired interest profile to manage the group’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations. the group’s policy is to maintain fixed interest rates, by means of hedging contracts, covering between 50% and 100% of the senior secured notes. at the year-end approximately 100% of the group’s senior secured notes were at fixed rates after taking into account interest rate swaps. For sterling denominated loans the fixed rate was 9.00% and for Euro denominated loans a fixed rate of 9.07%.

the interest on loan notes is fixed at a rate of 10.875% and 11.000%.

there are no unrecognised gains or losses relating to interest rate swaps.

Provision has been made for the remaining period of the leases identified, subject to a maximum of 25 years, after which the directors consider the impact of discounting upon the rental and trading projections renders them immaterial.

27 Pension schemes

the group operates or participates in two defined benefit schemes (the aBC Cinemas limited Pension scheme (the “aBC plan”) and the Optima 2 Pension scheme (the “Optima 2 plan”)) and one defined contribution scheme (the Odeon DC stakeholder Pension scheme). assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the group in independently administered funds.

Defined benefit schemesBoth the aBC plan and the Optima 2 plan are closed to new members. the aBC plan is closed to future accrual from 1 November 2009. the Optima 2 plan is closed to future accrual from 1 January 2009. the latest full actuarial valuation for the aBC plan was carried out as at 30 april 2009 and was updated for FRs 17 purposes to 31 December 2012 by a qualified independent actuary. the latest full actuarial valuation for the Optima 2 plan was carried out as at 31 December 2009 and was updated for FRs 17 purposes to 31 December 2012 by a qualified independent actuary.

the mortality assumptions are based on standard mortality tables which allow for future mortality improvements. the assumptions are that a member currently aged 65 will live on average for a further 21.8 years (aBC Plan) and for a further 22.0 years (Optima 2 Plan).

For a member aged 40 in 2012, retiring in 25 years time, the assumptions are that they will live on average for a further 23.1 years after retirement (aBC Plan) and for a further 23.6 years after retirement (Optima 2 Plan).

the pension cost relating to the defined benefit schemes is assessed in accordance with the advice of independent qualified actuaries using the projected unit method. as both the Optima 2 plan and aBC plan are closed to new members and future accrual, the current service cost is nil. the group made special deficit reduction contributions of £1.0m (Optima 2 plan) and £1.2m (aBC plan). these rates are subject to review at future actuarial valuations.

NOTES

27 Pension schemes (continued)

the group employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return on pension plan assets. Historical markets are studied and assets with higher volatility are assumed to generate higher returns consistent with widely accepted capital market principles. the assumed long-term rate of return on each asset class is set out within this note. the overall expected rate of return on assets is then derived by aggregating the expected return for each asset class over the actual asset allocation.

the fair value of the schemes’ assets, which are not intended to be realised in the short term and may be subject to significant change before they are realised, and the present value of the schemes’ liabilities, which are derived from cash flow projections over long periods and thus inherently uncertain, were:
