The group financial statements of Financiere Pinault S.C.A. may be obtained from the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris, 1 Quai de Corse, 75004 Paris, France.

13 Contingent liabilities

Certain of the Group's subsidiaries and its associate are routinely involved in litigation or potential litigation related to primarily the settlement of insurance claims liabilities. However, none of such actual or proposed litigation that had not been provided for met the definition of a contingent liability. Consequently, the Group had no insurance related, or other, contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2011 (30 Jun 2010 and 31 Dec 2010: no contingent liabilities).
