UNILEVER PLC

The activities of the Group, together with the factors likely to affect its future

development, performance, financial position, its cash flows, liquidity position and

borrowing facilities, are described on pages 1 to 46. In addition, we describe in

notes 15 to 18 on pages 161 to 176 the Group’s objectives, policies and

processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives;

details of its financial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposures to

credit and liquidity risk. Although not assessed over the same period as going

concern, the viability of the Group has been assessed on page 38.

The Group has considerable financial resources together with established

business relationships with many customers and suppliers in countries

throughout the world. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is

well placed to manage its business risks successfully for at least 12 months from

the date of approval of the financial statements.

After making enquiries, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going

concern basis of accounting in preparing this Annual Report and Accounts.
