notes to the financial INFORMATION

   1.   BASIS OF ACCOUNTING 

Basis of preparation

The financial information set out above does not constitute the Group's statutory financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2012 or 2011. Statutory consolidated financial statements for the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011, prepared in accordance with adopted IFRS, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors have reported on the 2011 accounts; their report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of any emphasis without qualifying their opinion and (iii) did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2012 has been prepared by the directors based upon the results and position and position that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements of SDL plc and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU as relevant to the financial statements of SDL plc.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those followed in preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

In line with UK Corporate Governance Code requirements the Directors have made enquiries concerning the potential of the business to continue as a going concern. Enquiries included a review of performance in 2012, 2013 annual plans, a review of working capital including the liquidity position and a review of current indebtedness levels. The Directors confirm that they expect strong underlying cash generation and therefore they have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Given this expectation they have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial information.

   2.   SEGMENT INFORMATION 

The Group operates in the Global Information Management industry. For management purposes the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has four reportable operating segments as follows:
