  Strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
  The Directors present their Strategic report on GlaxoSmithKline 
  Capital plc (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2017. 
 
 Principal activities and future developments 
 
 The Company is a member of the GlaxoSmithKline Group (the "Group"). 
  The principal activities of the Company during the financial year 
  were the issuance of notes under the Group's European Medium Term 
  Note programme and the provision of financial services to other 
  companies within the Group. 
 
 The Directors do not envisage any change to the nature of the 
  business in the foreseeable future. 
 
 Review of business 
 
 The Company made a profit for the financial year of GBP8,318,000 
  (2016: GBP11,297,000), which will be transferred to reserves. 
  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. 
 
 At 31 December 2017, the Company had in issue GBP9,026,788,000 
  European Medium Term Notes and GBP1,473,973,000 US Medium Term 
  Notes (2016: GBP7,874,858,000 and GBP3,214,961,000 respectively) 
  which mature at dates between 2019 and 2045. All notes currently 
  in issue pay interest on a fixed rate basis. 
 
 During the year, the $2 billion 1.500% US Medium Term Note matured 
  in May 2017 and the EUR1.25 billion 5.625% European Medium Term 
  Note matured in December 2017. 
 
 On 5 September 2017, three new bonds totalling EUR2.4 billion 
  were issued under the Group's European Medium Term Note programme 
  as follows: 
 
       EUR1.2 billion (GBP1.1 billion) 0.000% European Medium Term 
 --     Note 2020; 
       EUR700 million (GBP640 million) 1.000% European Medium Term 
 --     Note 2026; and 
       EUR500 million (GBP457 million) 1.375% European Medium Term 
 --     Note 2029. 
 
 Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
 The Directors of GlaxoSmithKline plc manage the risks of the Group 
  at a group level, rather than at an individual statutory entity 
  level. For this reason, the Company's Directors believe that a 
  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 the 
  Group's 2017 Annual Report which does not form part of this report. 
 
 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 
 
 The Directors of the Group manage the Group's operations on an 
  operating segment basis. For this reason, the Company's Directors 
  believe that analysis using key performance indicators for the 
  Company is not necessary or appropriate for an understanding of 
  the development, performance or position of the Company's business. 
  The development, performance and position of the Group are discussed 
  in the Group's 2017 Annual Report which does not form part of 
  this report. 
 
 By order of the Board

  Directors' report for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
  The Directors present their report and the audited financial statements 
  of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017. 
 
 Results and dividends 
 
 The Company's profit for the financial year is shown in the income 
  statement on page 12. 
 
 No dividend is proposed to the holders of ordinary shares in respect 
  of the year ended 31 December 2017 (2016: GBPnil). 
 
 Internal control framework 
 
 The Internal Control Framework is the means by which the Group 
  ensures compliance with laws and regulations, the reliability 
  of financial reporting and comprehensive risk management. The 
  Directors of the Group are accountable for evaluating and approving 
  the effectiveness of the internal controls, including financial, 
  operational and compliance controls, and risk management processes 
  operated by the Group. 
 
 To ensure effective governance and promote an ethical culture, 
  the Group has in place the Risk Oversight and Compliance Council. 
  This team of senior leaders is mandated by the Board to assist 
  the Audit and Risk Committee in overseeing risk management and 
  internal control activities. It also provides the business units 
  with a framework for risk management and upward escalation of 
  significant risks, of which the Company operates within. Further 
  information on the Group's Internal Control Framework is discussed 
  in the Group's 2017 Annual Report which does not form part of 
  this report. 
 
 Financial risk management 
 
 The Company issues notes under the Group's European Medium Term 
  Note programme in order to meet anticipated funding requirements. 
  The strategy is to diversify liquidity sources using a range of 
  facilities and to maintain broad access to funding markets. Details 
  of derivative financial instruments and hedging, and further information 
  on risk management policies, exposures to market, credit and liquidity 
  risk are disclosed in Note 2(l) and 4 respectively. 
 
 Previously, the Company had entered into treasury gilt locks to 
  manage interest rate risk on its forecasted Euro and Sterling 
  denominated notes issued under the Group's European Medium Term 
  Note programme. In 2017, the Company entered into forward starting 
  interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk on its forecasted 
  Euro denominated notes. 
 
 At 31 December 2017, none of the Company's total debt issuances 
  were exposed to floating interest rates and interest is paid on 
  a fixed rate basis.

  and up to the date of signing the financial statements were as 
  follows: 
 
 Mr S Dingemans

  (Registered number: 2258699) 
 
  Directors' report for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
 Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the financial 
  statements 
 
 The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report 
  and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law 
  and regulation. 
 
 Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements 
  for each financial year. Under that law the directors have prepared 
  the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally 
  Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 
  comprising FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework", and applicable 
  law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial 
  statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and 
  fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit 
  or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial 
  statements, the directors are required to: 
 
 l                               select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 
 l 
  state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 
   comprising FRS 101, have been followed, subject to any material 
   departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 
 l                               make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable 
                                  and prudent; and 
 l                               prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis 
                                  unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will 
                                  continue in business. 
 
 The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting 
  records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's 
  transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time 
  the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure 
  that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 
 
 The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets 
  of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention 
  and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 
 
 The following items have been included in the Strategic report 
  on page 1: 
 
 l                               principal activities and future developments; 
 
 l                               review of business; and 
 
 l                               principal risks and uncertainties. 
 
 Governance 
 
 The Company's approach to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 is set by 
  the Group. Each year, as part of their governance arrangements, 
  the Group formally reviews and approves its approach to the Modern 
  Slavery Act 2015 and has confirmed that the approach is still 
  valid for 2017. 
 
 Disclosure of information to auditors 
 
 As far as each of 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 as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant 
  audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors 
  are aware of that information.

  Report on the audit of the financial statements 
 
 Opinion 
 
 In our opinion, GlaxoSmithKline Capital plc's financial statements: 
 
 l                                                       give a true and fair view of the state of the company's 
                                                         affairs 
                                                         at 31 December 2017 and of its profit and cash flows for the 
                                                         year then ended; 
 
 l                                                       have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom 
                                                         Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom 
                                                         Accounting 
                                                         Standards, comprising FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework", 
                                                         and applicable law); and 
 
 l                                                       have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
                                                          Companies Act 2006. 
 
 We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual 
  Report, which comprise: the balance sheet as at 31 December 2017; 
  the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the 
  cash flow statement, the statement of changes in equity for the 
  year then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which 
  include a description of the significant accounting policies. 
 
 Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to those charged with 
  governance. 
 
 Basis for opinion 
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards 
  on Auditing (UK) ("ISAs (UK)") and applicable law. Our responsibilities 
  under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities 
  for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. 
  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
  and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
 
 Independence 
 
 We remained independent of the company in accordance with the ethical 
  requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 
  in the UK, which includes the FRC's Ethical Standard, as applicable 
  to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other 
  ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 
 
 To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit 
  services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not provided 
  to the company. 
 
 We have provided no non-audit services to the company in the period 
  from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017. 
 
 Our audit approach 
 
 Overview 
 l                                                       Overall materiality: GBP52.5 million (2016: GBP50.1 million), 
                                                          based on 0.5% of external debt. 
 
 l                                                       Full scope statutory audit. 
 
 l                                                       Risk of material misstatement in long-term borrowings. 
 
 l                                                       Risk of material misstatement in intercompany loans. 
 
 The scope of our audit 
 
 As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed 
  the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. 
  In particular, we looked at where the directors made subjective 
  judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates 
  that involved making assumptions and considering future events 
  that are inherently uncertain.

 GlaxoSmithKline 
 Capital plc 
 
   The scope of our audit (continued) 
 
 We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework 
  applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, 
  and considered the risk of acts by the company which were contrary 
  to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed 
  audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk 
  of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher 
  than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud 
  may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or 
  intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We designed 
  audit procedures that focused on the risk of non-compliance related 
  to the Data Protection Act, the Money Laundering Act, Corporation 
  tax laws and regulations and the Companies Act 2006. Our tests 
  included inspecting monthly Treasury Management Group meeting minutes 
  for identification of any breaches of laws and regulations and 
  reviewing board meeting minutes. We did not identify any key audit 
  matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all 
  of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override 
  of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating 
  whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented 
  a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 
 
 Key audit matters 
 
 Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors' professional 
  judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial 
  statements of the current period and include the most significant 
  assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to 
  fraud) identified by the auditors, including those which had the 
  greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation 
  of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement 
  team. These matters, and any comments we make on the results of 
  our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit 
  of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion 
  thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 
  This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.

                                                                We determined that this testing

 How we tailored the audit scope 
 
 We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed 
  enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements 
  as a whole, taking into account the structure of the company, the 
  accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which it 
  operates. 
 
 GlaxoSmithKline Capital plc is a member of the GlaxoSmithKline 
  Group. The company's principal activity is the issuance of notes 
  under the Group's European and US Medium Term Note programme and 
  the provision of financing services to other companies within the 
  Group. 
 
 Materiality 
 
 The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. 
  We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, 
  together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine 
  the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our 
  audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items 
  and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, 
  both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements 
  as a whole. 
 
 Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality 
  for the financial statements as a whole as follows: 
 
 Overall materiality                                       GBP52.5 million (2016: GBP50.1 million). 
 
 How we determined 
  it                                                       0.5% of external debt. 
 
 Rationale for benchmark                                   GlaxoSmithKline Capital plc is the main UK debt 
  applied                                                   issuer of the GlaxoSmithKline Group. The entity 
                                                            on lends the proceeds to other Group entities 
                                                            applying a small margin on the on lending. The 
                                                            primary role of the entity is to issue external 
                                                            debt, and as such we believe that the external 
                                                            debt balance is the most appropriate benchmark 
                                                            in assessing the performance of the entity and 
                                                            is a generally accepted auditing benchmark. 
 
 We agreed with those charged with governance that we would report 
  to them misstatements identified during our audit above GBP2.6 
  million (2016: GBP2.5 million) as well as misstatements below that 
  amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

   Conclusions relating to going concern 
 
 We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in 
  relation to which ISAs (UK) require us to report to you when: 
 
 l                                                       the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting 
                                                         in the preparation of the financial statements is not 
                                                         appropriate; 
                                                         or 
 
 l                                                       the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements 
                                                         any identified material uncertainties that may cast 
                                                         significant 
                                                         doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the 
                                                         going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least 
                                                         twelve months from the date when the financial statements are 
                                                         authorised for issue. 
 
 However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, 
  this statement is not a guarantee as to the company's ability to 
  continue as a going concern. 
 
 Reporting on other information 
 
 The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual 
  Report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report 
  thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 
  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other 
  information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion 
  or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, 
  any form of assurance thereon. 
 
 In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility 
  is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether 
  the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
  statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise 
  appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent 
  material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required 
  to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement 
  of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other 
  information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude 
  that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 
  we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report 
  based on these responsibilities. 
 
 With respect to the Strategic report and Directors' report, we 
  also considered whether the disclosures required by the UK Companies 
  Act 2006 have been included. 
 
 Based on the responsibilities described above and our work undertaken 
  in the course of the audit, ISAs (UK) require us also to report 
  certain opinions and matters as described below. 
 
 Strategic report and Directors' report 
 
 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the 
  audit, the information given in the Strategic report and Directors' 
  report for the year ended 31 December 2017 is consistent with the 
  financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable 
  legal requirements. 
 
 In light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and 
  its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we did not 
  identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report and 
  Directors' report.

   Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit 
 
 Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements 
 
 As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' responsibilities 
  set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation 
  of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework 
  and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The 
  directors are also responsible for such internal control as they 
  determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements 
  that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud 
  or error. 
 
 In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible 
  for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, 
  disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and 
  using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors 
  either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, 
  or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 
 
 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
 
 Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
  the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 
  whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report 
  that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level 
  of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
  accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement 
  when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and 
  are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they 
  could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 
  of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 
 
 A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of 
  the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. 
  This description forms part of our auditors' report. 
 
 Use of this report 
 
 This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and 
  only for the company's members as a body in accordance with Chapter 
  3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. 
  We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility 
  for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report 
  is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed 
  by our prior consent in writing. 
 
 Other required reporting 
 
 Companies Act 2006 exception reporting 
 
 Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, 
  in our opinion: 
 
 l                                                       we have not received all the information and explanations we 
                                                          require for our audit; or 
 
 l                                                       adequate accounting records have not been kept by the 
                                                         company, 
                                                         or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from 
                                                         branches not visited by us; or 
 
 l                                                       certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by 
                                                          law are not made; or 
 
 l                                                       the financial statements are not in agreement with the 
                                                         accounting 
                                                         records and returns. 
 
 We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. 
 
 Appointment 
 
 We were appointed by the directors on 1 December 1993 to audit 
  the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1994 and 
  subsequent financial periods. The period of total uninterrupted

               Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
   1         Presentation of the financial statements 
 
             General information 
             GlaxoSmithKline Capital plc (the "Company") is a member of the GlaxoSmithKline 
              Group (the "Group"). The Company's principal activity is the issuance 
              of notes under the Group's European Medium Term Note programme and 
              the provision of financial services to other companies within the 
              Group. 
 
             The Company is a public company limited by shares and is incorporated 
              and domiciled in the UK (England and Wales). The address of the registered 
              office is 980 Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex TW8 9GS. 
 
 2           Summary of significant accounting policies 
 
             The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these 
              financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently 
              applied, unless otherwise stated. 
 
 (a)         Basis of preparation 
 
             The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial 
              Reporting Standard 100 "Application of Financial Reporting Requirements" 
              ("FRS 100") and Financial Reporting Standard 101 "Reduced Disclosure 
              Framework" ("FRS 101"). 
 
             These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern 
              basis under the historical cost convention and in accordance with 
              the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies using FRS101. 
 
             Disclosure exemptions adopted 
 
             In preparing these financial statements, the Company has taken advantage 
              of all disclosure exemptions conferred by FRS 101. Therefore these 
              financial statements do not include: 
 
             l             Paragraph 38 of IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" comparative 
                            information requirements in respect of: 
                            -     paragraph 79(a) (iv) of IAS 1; 
 
             l             The following paragraphs of IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements": 
                            -     16 (statement of compliance with all IFRS); and 
                            -     38B-D (additional comparative information) 
 
             l             Paragraph 30 and 31 of IAS 8 "Accounting policies, changes in accounting 
                            estimates and errors" (requirement for the disclosure of information 
                            when an entity has not applied a new IFRS that has been issued 
                            but is not yet effective); 
 
             l             Paragraph 17 of IAS 24 "Related party disclosures" (key management 
                            compensation); and 
 
             l             The requirements in IAS 24 "Related party disclosures" to disclose 
                            related party transactions entered into between two or more wholly 
                            owned members of a group. 
 
             The financial statements of GlaxoSmithKline plc can be obtained as 
              described in Note 2(b). 
 
             The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 101 
              requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also 
              requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying 
              the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree 
              of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates 
              are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 
              3. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   GlaxoSmithKline Capital plc 
 
   Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
 2           Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 
 
 (b)         Ultimate and immediate parent undertaking 
             The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent company. 
              GlaxoSmithKline plc, a company registered in England and Wales, is 
              the Company's ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party. The 
              largest and smallest group of undertakings for which group financial 
              statements are prepared and which include the results of the Company 
              are the consolidated financial statements of GlaxoSmithKline plc. 
              Copies of the consolidated financial statements can be obtained from 
              the Company Secretary, GlaxoSmithKline plc, 980 Great West Road, Brentford, 
              Middlesex TW8 9GS. The immediate parent undertaking is SmithKline 
              Beecham Limited. These financial statements are separate financial 
              statements. 
 
 (c)         Foreign currency transactions 
             Foreign currency transactions are booked in the functional currency 
              of the Company at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction. 
              Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into 
              the functional currency at rates of exchange ruling at the balance 
              sheet date. Exchange differences are included in the income statement. 
              The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Pounds 
              Sterling. 
 
 (d)         Other operating income 
             Management service fees are recognised in other operating income on 
              an accruals basis. 
 
 (e)         Finance income and expense 
             Finance income and expenses are recognised on an accruals basis using 
              the effective interest method. 
 
 (f)         Financial assets 
             Loans and receivables 
             Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed 
              or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. 
              They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater 
              than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified 
              as non-current assets. The Company's loans and receivables represent 
              intercompany balances with other Group undertakings, which are carried 
              at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
 
 (g)         Impairment of financial assets 
             The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there 
              is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial 
              assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets 
              is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective 
              evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred 
              after the initial recognition of the asset (a "loss event") and that 
              loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash 
              flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can 
              be reliably estimated. 
 
             Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or 
              a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, 
              default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability 
              that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, 
              and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease 
              in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or 
              economic conditions that correlate with defaults. 
 
             For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the 
              difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value 
              of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that 
              have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original 
              effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced 
              and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. 
 
             If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases 
              and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring 
              after the impairment was recognised, the reversal of the previously 
              recognised impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. 
 
 (h)         Cash and cash equivalents 
             Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and current balances 
              with banks and similar institutions. They are readily convertible 
              into known amounts of cash and have an insignificant risk of changes 
              in value.

   Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
 2           Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 
 
 (i)         Other payables 
             Other payables are initially recognised at fair value and then held 
              at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Long-term payables 
              are discounted where the effect is material. 
 
 (j)         Borrowings 
             All borrowings, which comprise notes issued under the Group's European 
              Medium Term Note programme, are initially recorded at the amount of 
              proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Borrowings are subsequently 
              carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, 
              net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised 
              as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant 
              borrowing. 
 
 (k)         Taxation 
             Current tax is provided at the amounts expected to be paid or refunded 
              applying the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted 
              by the balance sheet date. 
 
             Deferred tax is provided in full, on temporary differences arising 
              between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
              amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised 
              to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will 
              be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 
              Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments 
              in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing 
              of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and 
              it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the 
              foreseeable future. Deferred tax is provided using rates of tax that 
              have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. 
 
 (l)         Derivative financial instruments and hedging 
             Derivative financial instruments can be used by the Company to manage 
              exposure to market risks. The Company does not hold or issue derivative 
              financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and does 
              not currently hold any derivative financial instruments. Derivative 
              financial instruments are classified as held-for-trading and are carried 
              in the balance sheet at fair value. 
 
             Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges 
              are recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the 
              hedges are effective. Ineffective portions are recognised in profit 
              or loss immediately. Amounts deferred in other comprehensive income 
              are reclassified to the income statement when the hedged item affects 
              profit or loss. 
 
             Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not 
              qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income 
              statement. 
 
             The Company carries a balance in other comprehensive income that arose 
              from using treasury gilt locks and forward starting interest rate 
              swaps for pre-hedging fluctuations in long-term interest rates when 
              pricing bonds issued in prior and current years. 
 
 3           Key accounting judgements and estimates 
 
             In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make 
              estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, 
              revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements. Actual 
              amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The following 
              are considered to be the key accounting judgements and estimates made. 
 
 (a)         Taxation 
             Current tax is provided at the amounts expected to be paid or refunded, 
              and deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the 
              tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at 
              the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance 
              sheet date. 
 
             Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable 
              that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary 
              differences can be utilised, based on management's assumptions relating 
              to the amounts and timing of future taxable profits.

   Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 
 
 4           Financial risk management 
 
             Risk management is carried out by the Group's Corporate Treasury under 
              policies and procedures approved annually by the Group's Board of 
              Directors, most recently on 20 July 2017. The role of Corporate Treasury 
              is to monitor and manage the Group's external and internal funding 
              requirements and financial risks, covering foreign exchange, interest 
              rate, liquidity, and credit risks in support of the Group's strategic 
              objectives. A Treasury Management Group meeting, chaired by the Group's 
              Chief Financial Officer, also takes place on a monthly basis to review 
              treasury activities. 
 
 (a)         Market risk 
 
 (i)         Foreign exchange risk 
             The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign 
              currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US dollar and 
              Euro, in respect of bonds issued under the Group's European Medium 
              Term Note programme. 
 
             The net proceeds of bond issuances received are subsequently advanced 
              as loans to other Group undertakings in the same currency which minimises 
              the foreign translation exposure within the Company. On this basis, 
              foreign exchange risk is not considered material and the Company has 
              not prepared a sensitivity analysis. 
 
 (ii)        Interest rate risk 
             The Group's objective is to minimise the effective net interest cost 
              and to balance the mix of debt at fixed and floating interest rates 
              over time. The policy on interest rate risk management limits the 
              amount of floating interest payments to a prescribed percentage of 
              operating profit. 
 
             The Company's interest rate risk arises mainly from deposits with 
              Group undertakings and cash held at floating rates which expose the 
              Company to interest rate risk. The Company has borrowings, comprised 
              of notes issued under the Group's European Medium Term Note programme, 
              which are at fixed rates and expose the Company to fair value interest 
              rate risk. 
 
             The table below hypothetically shows the Company's sensitivity to 
              changes in interest rates in relation to Euro, Sterling and US dollar 
              floating rate financial assets. If interest rates applicable to floating 
              rate financial assets were to have increased by 1% (100 basis points), 
              and assuming all other variables had remained constant, it is estimated 
              that the Company's finance income for 2017 would have increased by 
              approximately GBP1,018,000 (2016: GBP1,064,000 increase in finance 
              income). 
 
                                                                                 2017               2016 
                                                                          Increase in           Increase 
                                                                               income          in income 
                                                                              GBP'000            GBP'000 
            -------------------------------------------  ----------------------------  ----------------- 
 
  1% (100 basis points) increase in Euro interest 
   rates (2016: 1%)                                                               398                375 
  1% (100 basis points) increase in Sterling 
   interest rates (2016: 1%)                                                      450                350

 (b)         Credit risk 
 
             Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual 
              obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group and arises from 
              cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits 
              with banks and financial institutions. The Group sets global counterparty 
              limits for each of its banking and investment counterparties based 
              on long-term credit ratings from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investor 
              Services ("Moody's"). Usage of these limits is monitored daily and 
              Corporate Treasury actively manages its exposure to credit risk, reducing 
              surplus cash balances wherever possible. 
 
             There are no financial assets that are past due or impaired as at 
              31 December 2017 (2016: GBPnil). 
 
             The Company did not hold any collateral as security or obtained other 
              credit enhancements as at 31 December 2017 (2016: GBPnil). 
 
             The Company considers its maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 December 
              2017, without taking into account any collateral held or other credit 
              enhancements, to be GBP10,644,567,000 (2016: GBP11,231,045,000) being 
              the total of the Company's financial assets of which the balances 
              are all held within the GlaxoSmithKline Group, see Note 16. 
 
 (c)         Liquidity risk 
 
             Liquidity is managed centrally by the Group by borrowing in order 
              to meet anticipated funding requirements. The Group's cash flow forecast 
              and funding requirements are monitored on a monthly basis by the Treasury 
              Management Group and the strategy is to have diversified liquidity

   Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 
   December 2017 
 
 10          Taxation (continued) 
 
             Factors that may affect future tax charges: 
 
             The tax rate for the current year is lower than the prior year, due 
              to changes in the UK corporation tax rate, which decreased from 20% 
              to 19% from 1 April 2017. Changes to the UK corporation tax rates 
              were substantively enacted as part of Finance Bill 2016 (on 6 September 
              2016). These include reductions to the main rate, to reduce the rate 
              to 17% from 1 April 2020. This will impact the Company's future current 
              tax charge accordingly. Deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have 
              been measured using these enacted tax rates and reflected in these 
              financial statements. 
 
                                                                                 2017               2016

             Fair value of financial assets and 
 16          liabilities 
 
             The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included 
              at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer 
              a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants 
              at the measurement date. 
 
             The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair 
              values: 
 
             --           Cash and cash equivalents - approximates to the carrying amount; 
             --           Borrowings (European and US Medium Term Notes) - based on quoted 
                           market prices (a level 1 fair value measurement); 
             --           Intercompany loans - approximates to the fair value of borrowings 
                          (European and US Medium Term Notes); and 
             --           Receivables and payables - approximates to the carrying amount.
