Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

Management reviews the form 990. The 990 is also reviewed by the audit committee. Mmw's 990 is made available to the board of directors and for their reveiw prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

Merlin's magic wand foundation ("mmw") maintains a written conflict of interest policy. The audit committee provides, at least annually, and whenever appropriate, a conflict of interest statement that is reviewed and signed by each interested person (board member, director, trustee or key employee, etc). The policy dictates that the audit committee conduct periodic reviews to ensure there are no conflicts of interest with any interested person. Such reviews are performed at least annually and whenever appropriate. If a person has a conflict with respect to a transaction they are not allowed to vote.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Compensation for the charity manager is paid by related company merlin entertainments group us holdings. Compensation is based on comparables and approved by mmw's board of directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Mmw makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public in the same fashion as it makes its form 990 available to the public, upon request.
