Uninsured losses represent provisions for losses under third party liabilities or claims. Due to the timescales and uncertainties involved in such claims, provision is made based upon the profile of claims experience, allowing for potential claims for a number of years after policy inception.
Dilapidation and environmental represents provisions to cover the costs of the remediation of certain properties held under operating leases. These provisions are primarily Euro denominated and non-interest bearing, and the ultimate expenditure is expected to be coterminous with the underlying remaining lease periods (see Note 41).
For further information on the warranty provision see Note 39.
Other trading provisions have been discounted where applicable at the rate commensurate with the underlying risk, and comprise:
a) Reorganisation and employee termination provisions of €3.6 million (2006: €2.8 million) that are expected to crystallise within the next five years.
b) Other provisions of €6.7 million (2006: €7.7 million), which primarily comprise provision against the future redemption of benefits under customer loyalty programmes and provision against legal claims that arise in the normal course of business. These provisions are expected to crystallise within the next five years. In the Directors’ opinion, after taking appropriate legal advice, the outcome of these legal claims will not give rise to any significant loss beyond amounts provided at 31 December 2007.
