IFRS Statement

Big Yellow Group PLC 27 September 2005 27 September 2005 Big Yellow Group PLC ("Big Yellow" or "the Group") Unaudited results for the year ended 31 March 2005 under International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') Big Yellow Group PLC is today announcing the impact of the adoption IFRS on the Group's income statement and balance sheet for the year ended 31 March 2005. Overview The introduction of IFRS affects accounting only. There is no impact on our underlying business or cash flows. The main change resulting from the introduction of IFRS is that Big Yellow has changed the classification and accounting for the majority of its properties to "investment properties" with a consequential significant impact on the income statement and balance sheet. •Big Yellow storage centres are now classified as investment properties under the provisions of IAS 40. As a consequence they are held on the balance sheet at fair value having previously been held at cost. •Investment properties are not depreciated and will be subject to an external valuation bi-annually with any movements on revaluation recognised separately in the income statement. •Deferred tax arising from revaluation of investment property is provided in full and movements of this provision are now charged through the income statement. •In accordance with IAS 40, investment properties which are owned leasehold are accounted for as finance leases rather than operating leases. The other principal changes arising from the adoption of IFRS for the March 2005 results are: •Recognition of the final dividend only after its approval at the Group's Annual General Meeting. •Deferred tax provision for potential deduction on exercise of share options. •Inclusion of a charge in respect of the fair value of share options. •Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment review and as a result there is no charge in the year. •A fair value adjustment in respect of the Group's fixed interest rate debt has been debited to the income statement.

Big Yellow will therefore publish its 2005/6 Interim Report and 2005/6 Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with IFRS. The purpose of this document is to •Explain the basis on which Big Yellow has effected the transition to IFRS; •Set out the principal accounting changes between UK GAAP and IFRS as they affect Big Yellow; and •Show the impact of the restatement in accordance with IFRS on Big Yellow's previously reported UK GAAP financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2005. The financial information has been set out in 2 sections: Section 1 - Basis of Preparation This describes the IFRS 1 "First Time Adoption" exemptions that Big Yellow has elected to take and the assumptions made in implementing IFRS. The section provides an overview of the impact of IFRS on the financial statements, and explains the principal differences between UK GAAP and IFRS affecting Big Yellow's financial statements. Section 2 - Financial Information for the year ended 31 March 2005 This comprises of a restated Group income statement, Group balance sheet, Group statement of changes in shareholder's equity, Group cash flow statement and Group reconciliation of Earnings per share and Net Asset Value per share SECTION 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION 1. Qualifications and IFRS 1 exemptions Qualifications European Union (EU) regulations require that the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2006 are prepared on the basis of IFRS, including interpretations issued by the Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the International Accounting Standards Board. Although the IASB adopted a "stable platform" in 2004, IFRS has continued, and will continue to evolve. As a result the financial information contained in this release may be amended before it is presented as comparative figures in the IFRS accounts to be issued by the Group for the six months ending 30 September 2005 as well as for the year ending 31 March 2006. Furthermore, the financial information contained in this release does not constitute a complete set of financial statements including comparative figures and notes. IFRS 1 exemptions The transition to IFRS is governed by the requirements of IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of IFRS". The opening IFRS balance sheet on 1 April 2004 (the date of transition to IFRS) has been prepared using accounting policies which the Directors expect to be applicable as at 31 March 2006. IFRS 1 permits companies adopting IFRS for the first time to take certain exemptions from full retrospective application of IFRS accounting policies. Big Yellow has taken the following key exemptions: (a) Business combinations: Big Yellow has chosen not to restate business combinations that occurred prior to 1 April 2004 to comply with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". As a result the carrying value of goodwill recorded under UK GAAP as at 1 April 2004 has been fixed at transition date. (b) Share-based payments: IFRS 2 "Share-based Payments" has been applied retrospectively to equity-settled awards that had not vested as at 1 April 2005 and were granted on or after 7 November 2002. (c) Financial Instruments: Big Yellow has elected to apply IAS 32 and IAS 39 from 1 April 2005. The Group has decided not to adopt hedge accounting. In accordance with IFRS 1 Big Yellow has not revised estimates required under IFRS that were also required under UK GAAP as at 31 March 2004 and 2005, and, in addition where estimates were not required under UK GAAP, they have been based on information known at that time, and not subsequent events. 2. Basis of presentation The preliminary comparative financial statements included in this document are in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". However, where no definitive guidance exists in respect of presentation, a UK GAAP approach has been followed to maintain consistency with previous years. The formats adopted may therefore require modification in the future as best practice develops and further guidance is issued. Over the past 18 months the Group has been working towards the implementation of IFRS which involved: •the analysis of each Standard to identify the difference between the Big Yellow's existing accounting policies under UK GAAP. •the collection of additional data required to restate Big Yellow's results in accordance with IFRS with effect from the transition date. •the ongoing modification of Big Yellow's reporting systems to meet IFRS requirements. Progress of the IFRS project has been reported on regularly to the Audit Committee. 3. Overview of impact of IFRS A summary of the impact on Big Yellow's 2004/5 profit for the year, earnings per share and net assets is set out below in paragraphs 3.1 to 3.3.

Principal differences between UK GAAP and IFRS There are seven principal differences between UK GAAP and IFRS affecting Big Yellow and these are described in the following paragraphs: 4.1 Investment properties Under UK GAAP, Big Yellow held its property at cost less accumulated depreciation within Tangible Fixed Assets. As a result of the introduction of IFRS Big Yellow has changed the classification and accounting for its open storage centres to "investment properties" with a consequential significant impact on the income statement and balance sheet. Investment properties are defined by IAS40 as property held by the owner to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administration purposes. The property is investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. A property interest that is held by a lessee under an operating lease may be classified and accounted for as investment property if, and only if, the property would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property and the lessee uses the fair value model. All Big Yellow stores lease storage units to customer tenants under operating leases. Sales of ancillary goods and services, such as packing materials are insignificant, representing 5-6% of turnover. The purchase of contents insurance by tenants is directly linked to the rental of units and is not considered ancillary. Self storage is a defined real estate class with a proven valuation methodology and the centres are also held for their capital appreciation. Therefore, all Big Yellow centres, both freehold and leasehold, have been classified as investment properties under IAS40 and are held in balance sheet at fair value from 1 April 2004. The investment properties have been valued as at 31 March 2005 and 30 September 2004 by external valuers, Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker ("CWHB"). The valuations have been carried out in accordance with the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (The Red Book). The methodology is fully explained in Note 22 of the 2005 Annual Report. A directors' valuation of the 29 stores open as at 1 April 2004 based on internal projections prevailing at that time has been used to determine the gain on revaluation for the year ending 31 March 2005. Valuations Investment properties £'000 At 31 March 2005 Property valuations 275,230 ----------- Historic cost 148,927 Accumulated depreciation under UK GAAP (11,361) ----------- Net book value UK GAAP 137,566 Depreciation adjustment under IFRS 3,685 Net book value IFRS 141,251 ----------- Gain on revaluation as at 31 March 2005 133,979 At 31 March 2004 Property valuations 205,450 Net book value 106,447 ----------- Gain on revaluation as at 31 March 2004 99,003 ----------- Gain on revaluation IFRS for year ended 31 March 2005 34,976 ----------- Properties held as tangible fixed assets under UK GAAP The historic cost net book value of the relevant properties held as tangible fixed assets under UK GAAP at 31 March 2005 was £137,566,000. As a result of the adoption of IFRS depreciation charged for the year to 31 March 2005 of £3,685,000 has been added back to give a historic cost net book value of the relevant properties under IFRS at 31 March 2005 of £141,251,000. These properties have been reclassified to Investment Property at the 31 March 2005 external valuation of £275,230,000. The resulting gain on revaluation of £133,979,000 has been credited to retained earnings. A similar review was undertaken for the relevant properties at 1 April 2004 which had an historic cost net book value of £106,447,000 and a fair value of £205,450,000, based on the directors' valuation, resulting in a revaluation surplus at that date of £99,003,000. Properties accounted for as leases under UK GAAP In accordance with IAS40, investment property held under leases is stated gross of the recognised finance lease liability. This has resulted in a £26,233,000 finance lease creditor and corresponding increase to the disclosed investment property balance as at 1 April 2004. For the year ending 31 March 2005 operating lease rent payments have been allocated between a finance lease charge and a reduction in the outstanding lease creditor so as to achieve a constant financing rate. The corresponding asset is depreciated over the lease term in line with the reduction in the creditor. As at 31 March 2005 the finance lease creditor and asset were £25,659,000. The net effect is to reduce cost of sales by £2,179,000, with a finance charge of £1,605,000 and a depreciation charge of £574,000, with no net effect on profit. Summary carrying value of investment properties under IFRS Investment property under IFRS at 31 March is therefore comprised of: 2005 2004 £'000 £'000 Net Book Value 141,251 106,447 Gain on revaluation 133,979 99,003 Finance Lease Asset 25,659 26,233 -------------------- 300,889 231,683 Summary effect on the income statement (excluding tax) Gains and losses arising from the changes in fair value of investment property are included in the income statement of the period in which they arise. For the year ended 31 March 2005, the effect on the income statement was a revaluation gain of £34,976,000. In accordance with IAS40, as Big Yellow uses the fair value model, no depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties including integral plant resulting in a credit of £3,685,000. As explained above the finance lease asset included in the investment property is depreciated over the lease term resulting in a charge of £574,000 in the year. The total depreciation charge for the year has reduced by £3,111,000. Operating lease payments of £2,179,000 are no longer included in cost of sales under IFRS. A further adjustment of £40,000 has been made with respect to rent free payments. The total adjustment to cost of sales is therefore £5,330,000. Summary effect on revaluation surplus within reserves In order to calculate the element of the gain on revaluation that relates to the year ending 31 March 2005 a directors' valuation of the store portfolio at 1 April 2004 has been carried out. The valuation uses the same methodology used for the external valuations performed at 30 September 2004 and 31 March 2005 by CWHB. At 31 March 2004 the 29 open storage centres were valued at £205,450,000 representing a £99,003,000 cumulative uplift on net book value as at that date. The gain as at 31 March 2005 was £133,979,000. Other matters affecting property Assets in the course of construction are accounted for in accordance with IAS16 Property, Plant & Equipment and are held at historic cost as they were under UK GAAP. On the opening of the store the property is re-classified as Investment Property and fair valued at the next balance sheet date. Properties used for administration purposes are accounted for under IAS16. 4.2 Income taxes IAS12 requires that full provision is made for the deferred tax liability associated with the revaluation of investment properties. The Group did not revalue its properties in the balance sheet under UK GAAP. The movement in deferred tax associated with the gain on revaluation during the year has been charged to the income statement. The provision for deferred tax should have regard for the manner in which the revaluation surplus will be realised. Since the valuation is based on discounted cash flow of net operating income then the realisation of value will come from future rental income rather than the sale of the portfolio in the short to medium term. Deferred tax of 30% on the full amount of the £134.0m surplus has therefore been provided although the liability will not be incurred while the Group continues to hold its investment properties. IAS12 requires a provision in respect of potential Schedule 23 deductions on the exercise of share options net of charges expensed through the income statement. The potential deduction has been calculated based on difference between the share price at 31 March 2005, the respective option prices and the remaining vesting periods. The resulting figure of £7.16m is adjusted for the £0.16m charge to date in respect of share based payments and deferred tax at 30% provided leading to a provision of £2.1m. £'000 Deferred tax liability under UK GAAP as at 31 March 2005 299 Deferred tax liability under IFRS as at 31 March 2005 39,026 --------- Increase in deferred tax liability as at 31 March 2005 38,727 --------- Income statement movement for year ending 31 March 2005 Revaluation of investment properties 10,493 Depreciation adjustment re qualifying assets 639 Reduction in finance lease creditor 12 Decrease in finance costs on valuation of interest rate swaps 20 --------- 11,164 Balance Sheet movement Share option deductions (2,100) Revaluations of investment properties 29,701 Fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps (66) Write off a liability re rent free periods 28 --------- 27,563 --------- Total adjustment under IFRS at 31 March 2005 38,727 --------- 4.3 Share-based payments Under IFRS2 "Share based payments" a charge is recognised in the Income Statement for all share-based payments granted to employees after 7 November 2002 but not yet vested based on the fair values of the grants and the number expected to become exercisable. The fair value at the date of award is calculated using an option pricing model (Black-Scholes) and the resulting values will be amortised through the income statement over the vesting period of the options to reflect actual and expected levels of vesting. Application of this standard has resulted in an additional charge to the income statement of £82,000 for the year ended 31 March 2005 over and above that already made under UK GAAP in respect of options awarded under the Group's Long Term Incentive Plan. A charge of £78,000 has been debited to retained earnings brought forward at 31 March 2004. There is no effect on net assets. Details of share option awards are contained in the Report on Director's Remuneration and Note 19 of the 2005 Annual Report. 4.4 Business combinations Under UK GAAP, goodwill was amortised on a straight line basis over its economic useful life of up to 20 years, tested for impairment and provided for if necessary. Under IFRS3 "Business Combinations" goodwill is not amortised but is carried at cost and subject to an annual review for impairment review at 31 March. The goodwill arising from the purchase of Big Yellow Self Storage Company Ltd has been assessed as having a fair value in excess of its 1 April 2004 net book value of £1,432,000. As a consequence the amortisation charged under UK GAAP for the year to 31 March 2005 of £97,000 has been reversed with a consequential increase in net assets. 4.5 Financial instruments IAS 32 and IAS 39 are the standards which govern the accounting for financial instruments. IAS 32 covers disclosure and presentation, while IAS 39 covers recognition and measurement, including detailed rules for hedge accounting. These standards are not considered to have a significant impact on Big Yellow. Big Yellow's policy in respect of interest rates is to maintain a balance between flexibility and hedging of interest rate risk. The Group does not apply hedge accounting to its interest rate swaps. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of Big Yellow's financial assets and liabilities was only a disclosure requirement under UK GAAP, as shown in Note 19 of the 2005 Annual Report. Under IAS 39 changes to the fair value will be reported in the income statement. As at 1 April 2004 the fair value of loans was assessed at £220,000 more than the carrying amount. At 31 March 2005 the fair value had reduced to £153,000 resulting in debit to the income statement of £67,000 for the financial year and net assets being £153,000 lower under IFRS than that recorded under UK GAAP. 4.6 Events after balance sheet date Under UK GAAP, proposed dividends are recognised as a liability in the period to which they related. Under IAS10 "Events after the Balance Sheet Date" only liabilities actually existing at the balance sheet date are to be provided for. Final dividends payable do not meet this definition as they are subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting. As a result the 2005 proposed final dividend of £1,512,000 provided under UK GAAP has not been recognised in the year and the net assets at 31 March 2005 under IFRS have increased by that amount. There is no effect on the income statement. 4.7 Non-current assets held for resale At 31 March 2005, the cost of surplus land intended for sale of £2,867,000 has been reclassified from the Fixed Asset class "Assets under the course of Construction" to "Non-Current Assets Held for Sale" as prescribed by IFRS5. The figure represents the historic cost of surplus land held at three sites which it was the Group's intention to sell during the financial year ending 31 March 2006. There is no effect on the profit for the year to 31 March 2005 or the net assets at that date.
