Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout
this Report, including in the Description of Business - Risk
Factors, the Operating and Financial Review, the Report of
the Directors and the Directors' Remuneration Report.
These forward-looking statements are based on a number
of assumptions made by Cadbury Schweppes' management
concerning future events and information currently available
to management. You should not rely unduly on these forwardlooking
statements, which are not a guarantee of performance
and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other facts,
many of which are outside of the Group's control, and could
cause actual events to differ materially from those implicit in
those statements. Although Cadbury Schweppes believes the
expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it cannot assure you that these expectations will
prove to be correct. In addition to those factors described
under "Risk Factors", other important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from our expectations include
international economic and political conditions; changes in laws,
regulations, and accounting standards; distributor and licensee
relationships and actions; effectiveness of spending and
marketing programmes; and unusual weather patterns.
Although the Group believes that the expectations reflected
in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot
guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements.
