|  | The Company provides financial services to fellow subsidiaries of the GlaxoSmithKline Group of | 
|  | Companies ("the Group"). The Directors do not envisage any change to the nature of the         | 
|  | business in the foreseeable future.                                                            |

|  | The Company recorded a loss on ordinary activities after taxation for the year of GBP6,954,000 | 
|  | (2007 - profit of GBP3,359,000). The Directors are of the opinion that the current level of    | 
|  | activity and the year end financial position are satisfactory and will remain so in the        | 
|  | foreseeable future.                                                                            |

+--+-----------------------+-----+-----+---------+---------+----------+---------+---------+---------+ 
|  | The retained loss for the year of GBP6,954,000 will be transferred from reserves (2007 -       | 
|  | retained profit for the year of GBP3,359,000 transferred to reserves).                         |

+--+-----------------------+-----+-----+---------+---------+----------+---------+---------+---------+ 
|  | Outstanding debt of GBP500,000,000 and EUR 1,000,000,000 in existence at 31 December 2007 was  | 
|  | repaid during the year ended 31st December 2008 in April and October respectively. At 31st     | 
|  | December 2008 there were no remaining loans due within one year on the Company's balance       | 
|  | sheet.                                                                                         |

+--+-----------------------+-----+-----+---------+---------+----------+---------+---------+---------+ 
|  | Additionally, in March 2008 a new 31 year note for GBP700,000,000 was issued with interest     | 
|  | fixed at 6.375% for maturity 9th March 2039. The bond was issued at a price of 99.648%         | 
|  | (Re-offer) and a spread of plus 182.6 basis points. Net proceeds after selling fees were       | 
|  | GBP693,161,000.                                                                                |

+--+-----------------------+-----+-----+---------+---------+----------+---------+---------+---------+ 
|  | Following the maturity of the outstanding debt noted above which was swapped from Fixed Rate   | 
|  | to Floating rate, all external debt is on a fixed rate basis.                                  |

|  | The Company had several interest rate swaps and a cross currency swap outstanding with         | 
|  | commercial banks at 31st December 2007. These were entered into in order to manage the         | 
|  | fixed/floating interest rate profile of debt. These instruments matured during the year and    | 
|  | there are no derivatives outstanding at 31st December 2008. For details on Financial Risk      |

|  | The Directors of the ultimate parent undertaking, GlaxoSmithKline plc, manage the risks at a   | 
|  | group level, rather than at an individual business unit level. For this reason, the Company's  | 
|  | directors believe that a detailed discussion of the Group's risks would not be appropriate for | 
|  | an understanding of the development, performance or position of the Company's business. The    | 
|  | principal risks and uncertainties of the Group, which include those of the Company, are        | 
|  | discussed in detail on page 50 under Risk Factors in the Group's 2008 Annual Report, which     | 
|  | does not form part of this report.                                                             |

+--+-----------------------+-----+-----+---------+---------+----------+---------+---------+---------+ 
|  | In addition to the Financial Risk Management disclosed in the Treasury Policy note (Note 2),   | 
|  | at a Company level, the principal risks and uncertainties relevant to the Group and the        | 
|  | Company's business and financial condition and results would include risks from Global and     | 
|  | Political Economic Conditions, Reliance on Information Technology, Taxation, and the potential | 
|  | impact of new or revised Accounting Standards.                                                 |

|  | Many of the world's largest economies, including the major markets in which the Group          | 
|  | operates, and financial institutions currently face extreme financial difficulty, including a  | 
|  | decline in asset prices, liquidity problems and limited availability of credit. It is          | 
|  | uncertain how long this crisis will last, but many countries are concerned that their          | 
|  | economies may enter a deep and prolonged recession. Such a decline in economic activity may    | 
|  | have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition and ability to raise         | 
|  | capital. The Group has no control over changes in inflation and interest rates, foreign        | 
|  | currency exchange rates and controls or other economic factors affecting its businesses or the | 
|  | possibility of political unrest, legal and regulatory changes or nationalisation in            | 
|  | jurisdictions in which the Group operates.                                                     |

|  | The Company is increasingly dependent on information technology systems, including             | 
|  | Internet-based systems, for internal communication as well as communication with financial     | 
|  | counterparties. Any significant disruption of these systems, whether due to computer viruses   | 
|  | or other outside incursions, could materially and adversely affect the Company's operations.   |

|  | The effective tax rate on the Group's earnings benefits from the fact that a portion of its    | 
|  | earnings is taxed at more favourable rates in some jurisdictions outside the UK. Changes in    |

|  | New or revised accounting standards, rules and interpretations circulated from time to time by | 
|  | the standard setting board could result in changes to the recognition of income and expense    | 
|  | that may adversely impact the Company's reported financial results. The Company believes that  | 
|  | it complies with the appropriate regulatory requirements concerning its financial statements   | 
|  | and disclosures. However, other companies have experienced investigations into potential       | 
|  | non-compliance with accounting and disclosure requirements that have resulted in restatements  | 
|  | of previously reported results and sometimes significant penalties.                            |

|  | Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance    | 
|  | with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting          | 
|  | Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and |

|  | The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with         |

|  | As far as the Directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the         | 
|  | Company's auditors are unaware, and the Directors have taken all the steps that ought to have  | 
|  | been taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that    |

+--+-----------------------+-----+-----+---------+---------+----------+---------+---------+---------+ 
|  | After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has       | 
|  | adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this   | 
|  | reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts, due to       |

|      | Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to market risks from     | 
|      | treasury operations. The principal derivative instruments used by the Company are     |

+------+--------------------------+----+--------------+-----------+-----------+----+--------+--+ 
|      | Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised in the balance sheet at     | 
|      | fair value on inception and then remeasured at subsequent reporting dates to fair     | 
|      | value. Hedging derivatives are classified on inception as fair value hedges or cash   | 
|      | flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges | 
|      | are recorded in the profit and loss account, with the changes in the fair value of    | 
|      | the hedged asset or liability.                                                        |

+------+--------------------------+----+--------------+-----------+-----------+----+--------+--+ 
|      | Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are           | 
|      | recognised in equity. Amounts deferred in equity are transferred to the profit and    | 
|      | loss account in line with the hedged transaction.                                     |

+------+--------------------------+----+--------------+-----------+-----------+----+--------+--+ 
|      | Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge |

|      | Current tax is provided at the amounts expected to be paid, applying tax rates that   | 
|      | have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.                 | 
+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
|      | The Company accounts for taxation which is deferred or accelerated by reason of       | 
|      | timing differences which have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date.  | 
|      | Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that they are considered        | 
|      | recoverable against future taxable profits.                                           |

+------+--------------------------+----+--------------+-----------+-----------+----+--------+--+ 
|      | Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the   | 
|      | periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax         | 
|      | liabilities and assets are not discounted.                                            |

|      | The Group operates globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in |  | 
|      | the markets in which the Group trades. Due to the nature of the Group's business,  |  | 
|      | with patent protection on many of the products in the Group's portfolio, the       |  | 
|      | Group's products compete largely on product efficacy rather than on price. Selling |  | 
|      | margins are sufficient to cover normal operating costs and the Group's operating   |  | 
|      | subsidiaries are substantially cash generative.                                    |  |

|      | The Group's policy on interest rate risk management requires that the amount of    |  | 
|      | net borrowings at fixed rates increases with the ratio of forecast net interest    |  | 
|      | payable to Group trading profit. At 31st December 2008, GBPnil (2007 - GBP1,234    |  | 
|      | million) of the Company's net borrowings were exposed to floating interest rates   |  | 
|      | after the effects of hedging.                                                      |  |

|            | counterparties to financial instruments, but does not expect any counterparties to fail             |
