Financial Review

We have examined the Summary Financial Statement which comprises the Summary Directors' remuneration report, the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related Segmental Reporting and notes 1 to 12.

This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with section 251 of the Companies Act 1985. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, for our audit report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditors


The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Review and Summary Financial Statement in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law. Our responsibility is to report to you our opinion on the consistency of the Summary Financial Statement with the full annual accounts and the Directors' Remuneration Report, and its compliance with the relevant requirements of section 251 of the Companies Act 1985 and the regulations made thereunder. We report whether the auditor's opinion on the full annual accounts was unqualified or qualified. We also read the other information contained in the Annual Review and Summary Financial Statement as described in the contents section, and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the Summary Financial Statement.

Basis of opinion


We conducted our work in accordance with bulletin 1999/6 The Auditors' Statement on the Summary Financial Statement issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom.

Opinion


In our opinion, the Summary Financial Statement is consistent with the full annual accounts, and the Directors' Remuneration Report of Cadbury Schweppes plc for the 52 week period ended 1 January 2006 and complies with the applicable requirements of section 251 of the Companies Act 1985, and the regulations made thereunder. The auditors' report on the Company's annual accounts was unqualified.

Notes: A review does not provide assurance on the maintenance and integrity of the website, including controls used to achieve this, and in particular on whether any changes may have occurred to the financial information since first published. These matters are the responsibility of the directors but no control procedures can provide absolute assurance in this area.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements differs from legislation in other jurisdictions.
