4. Statement by the directors

    The Board has considered the effect of the General Repurchase and is of the opinion that, for a
    period of 12 months following the date of this announcement:
     • the Company and the group will be able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business;
     • the total assets of the Company and the group will be in excess of the total liabilities of the
       Company and the group. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities were recognised and
       measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited annual group
       financial statements;
     • the share capital, reserves and working capital of the Company and the group will be adequate
       for ordinary business purposes; and
     • the Company and the group have passed the solvency and liquidity test and since the test was
       performed there have been no material changes in the financial position of the group.

5. Impact of the General Repurchase on financial information

    The General Repurchase and related transaction costs have had no material impact on the
    financial information of City Lodge and will result in a decrease in the Company's cash balances
    corresponding to the approximate value of the Shares repurchased.
