The charge for the year is reflected under "Outside Services" and the excessive provisions are

recognised under "Excessive Provisions” in the accompanying income statement.

At 31 December 2014 and 2013, certain civil, labour, criminal and administrative lawsuits had

been filed against the Company which were taken into account in estimating potential

contingent liabilities. Noteworthy, in view of their amount, were the lawsuits with certain

collection societies.

As mentioned in Note 1, on 18 December 2013 the Supreme Court issued a writ of execution

enforcing the aforementioned judgment, rendering void the resolution of the Spanish Cabinet

regarding the allocation of channels. The Company does not consider it necessary to recognise

a provision in this connection.

The directors of the Company and its legal advisers do not expect any material liabilities

additional to those already recognised to arise from the outcome of the lawsuits in progress.
