Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried forward and other timing differences to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through utilisation against future taxable profits is probable. The Group has not recognised deferred income tax assets of £46.5 million (2007: £62.7 million). Total UK tax losses carried forward amount to £98.0 million (2007: £107.2 million). If conditions permit then these losses will be recognised and utilised in future periods.
