IFRS Reconcilliation

Greggs PLC 05 August 2005 5 August 2005 Greggs plc Restatement of financial information under International Financial Reporting Standards Introduction Greggs plc (the Group) historically prepared its consolidated financial statements under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). Following the adoption of Regulation No. 1606/2002 by the European Parliament on 19 July 2002 the Group has been preparing for the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards1 as its primary accounting base. IFRS will apply for the first time in the Group's financial statements for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005. Accordingly the financial results for the 24 weeks ended 18 June 2005 have been prepared and reported under IFRS. As the Group publishes comparative information in its Annual Report and Interim Statement the date of transition to IFRS is 28 December 2003. To explain how the Group's reported performance and financial position are affected by this change, information previously published under UK GAAP is restated under IFRS in the attached appendices as follows: • Appendix 1 - Significant accounting policies revised under IFRS • Appendix 2 - Financial information on an IFRS basis for the 24 weeks ended 12 June 2004, the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 and the transition balance sheet at 28 December 2003 • Appendix 3 - Reconciliations of income statement and balance sheet for the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 with comments on the adjustments made • Appendix 4 - Reconciliations of income statement and balance sheet for the 24 weeks ended 12 June 2004 • Appendix 5 - Reconciliation of transition balance sheet at 28 December 2003 • Appendix 6 - Special Purpose Audit Report of KPMG Audit Plc to Greggs plc As noted below, this financial information has been prepared on the basis of IFRSs expected to be applicable at 31 December 2005. These are subject to ongoing review and endorsement by the EU or possible amendment by interpretive guidance from the IASB and are therefore still subject to change. We will update our restated information for any such changes when they are made. Basis of preparation The financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies applied are set out in Appendix 1 and these assume that all existing standards in issue from the IASB will be fully endorsed by the EU. Both the transition balance sheet as at 28 December 2003 and the financial information for the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005, as prepared on the above basis, have been audited by KPMG Audit Plc. Their special purpose audit report to Greggs plc is set out on pages 21 to 22. The information for the 24 weeks ended 12 June 2004 is unaudited. Subject to EU endorsement of outstanding standards and no further changes from the IASB this information is expected to form the basis for comparatives when reporting financial results for 2005, and for subsequent reporting periods. 1References to IFRS throughout this document refer to the application of International Financial Reporting Standards as expected to adopted by the EU (" IFRS"), including International Accounting Standards ("IAS") and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and its committees, and as interpreted by any regulatory bodies applicable to the Group. Overview of impact For the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 the net increase in total recognised income and expense attributable to shareholders2 as a result of the conversion to IFRS was £58,000. This was largely made up of a reduction in the charge made in respect of the defined benefit pension scheme offset by the charge incurred relating to share based payments. The increase in profit after tax was £690,000. The details of these adjustments are given in Appendix 3. 24 weeks ended 12 June 2004 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 IFRS UK GAAP IFRS UK GAAP £'000 £'000 £'000 £'000 Operating profit 13,071 13,090 45,763 44,714 Profit after tax 9,108 9,142 32,277 31,587 Total recognised income and expense 8,822 9,142 31,645 31,587 attributable to shareholders Basic EPS 76.8p 77.1p 270.5p 264.7p Net assets 137,078 141,912 157,156 157,158 The most significant elements contributing to the changes in the financial information are: • The inclusion of an estimated fair value charge in respect of outstanding employee share options. • Recognition, on the balance sheet, of actuarially assessed employee benefit (pension) liabilities together with associated pension fund assets. • Recognition of dividends directly in reserves as they are declared, not when proposed. IFRS 1 exemptions IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, permits those companies adopting IFRS for the first time to take certain exemptions from the full requirements of IFRS in the transition period. The Group has taken the following key exemptions: (a) Employee benefits: All cumulative actuarial gains and losses have been recognised in equity at the transition date. This is to maintain consistency with prospective Group policy, whereby all actuarial gains and losses will be recognised directly via the statement of recognised income and expense. (b) Share based payments: The Group has elected to apply IFRS 2 Share based payments only to relevant share based payment transactions granted after 7 November 2002 as permitted under IFRS 1. (c) Business combinations: The Group has chosen not to restate business combinations prior to the transition date on an IFRS basis, as no significant acquisitions have taken place for the past 10 years. (d) Fair value as deemed cost: The Group has adopted the exemption which allows the restatement of certain items of property, plant and equipment to fair value at the transition date. (e) Financial instruments: The Group has taken the exemption from applying IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to the comparative information to be presented in its first IFRS financial statements and will adopt IAS 32 and IAS 39 with effect from 2 January 2005. 2Under UK GAAP, as there was no recognised gains and losses for the period other than the profit for the period, total recognised gains and losses attributable to shareholders equates to profit after tax. Under IFRS total recognised gains and losses attributable to shareholders equates to total recognised income and expense for the period as disclosed in the statement of recognised income and expenditure. Presentation of financial information The primary statements within the financial information contained in this document have been presented in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. However this format and presentation may require modification as practice develops and in the event that further guidance is issued. Appendix 1 IFRS Accounting Policies This section provides a summary of the Group's new accounting policies under IFRS for the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005. Where policies have changed under IFRS as compared to UK GAAP this is indicated by *. (a) Basis of preparation The financial information is presented in pounds sterling, rounded to the nearest thousand, and is prepared on the historical cost basis. These accounting policies have been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs in issue that either are endorsed by the EU and effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 December 2005 or are expected to be endorsed and effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 December 2005, the Group's first annual reporting date at which it is required to use adopted IFRSs. Based on these adopted and unadopted IFRSs, the directors have made assumptions about the accounting policies expected to be applied which are as set out below when the first annual IFRS financial statements are prepared for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005. In particular, the directors have assumed that the following IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and IFRIC Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee will be adopted by the EU in sufficient time that they will be available for use in the annual IFRS financial statements for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005: • Amendment to IAS 19, Employee Benefits - Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosure In addition, the adopted IFRSs that will be effective (or available for early adoption) in the annual financial statements for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005 are still subject to change and to additional interpretations and therefore cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting policies for that annual period will be determined finally only when the annual financial statements are prepared for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005. The preparation of this financial information resulted in changes to the accounting policies as compared with the most recent annual financial statements prepared under previous GAAP. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in this financial information. The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting policies are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group. Appendix 1 (b) Basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists where the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial information from the date control commences until the date that control ceases. (ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intragroup balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial information. (c) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement. (d) Property, plant and equipment (i) Owned assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy (h)). The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Certain items of property, plant and equipment that have been revalued to fair value on or prior to 28 December 2003, the date of transition to IFRSs, are measured on the basis of deemed cost, being the revalued amount at the date of that revaluation. (ii) Subsequent costs The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when the cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Appendix 1 (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straightline basis over the estimated useful economic lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold and long leasehold properties are depreciated by equal instalments over a period of 40 years. Land is not depreciated. The depreciation rates are as follows: Short leasehold properties 10% Plant: General 10% Computers 20% - 33 1/3% Motor vehicles 20% - 25% Delivery trays 33 1/3% Shop fixtures and fittings: General 10% Electronic equipment 20% The residual value, if not insignificant, is reassessed annually. (e) Goodwill* The Group's policy up to and including 1997 was to eliminate goodwill arising upon acquisitions against reserves. Under IFRS 1 and IFRS 3, such goodwill will remain eliminated against reserves. (f) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost formula. (g) Cash and cash equivalents* 'Cash and cash equivalents' comprises cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. (h) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's value is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Appendix 1 (i) Share capital (i) Repurchase of share capital When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity. Repurchased shares that are held in the Employee Share Ownership Plan are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. (ii) Dividends* Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (j) Employee benefits* (i) Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. (ii) Defined benefit plans The Group's obligation in respect of defined benefit post-employment plans, including pension plans, is calculated by estimating the amount of the future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the balance sheet date on AA credit rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group's obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised immediately in the income statement. All actuarial gains and losses at 28 December 2003, the date of transition to IFRSs, were recognised. The Group recognises actuarial gains and losses that arise subsequent to 28 December 2003 in full in the period in which they occur in the statement of recognised income and expenditure. (iii) Share-based payment transactions The share option programme allows Group employees to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of share options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date, using an appropriate model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted, and is spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. For options granted before 7 November 2002 the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS 2 have not been applied in accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 1. Appendix 1 (k) Revenue (i) Goods sold Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised as income on receipt. (ii) Government grants Government grants are recognised in the balance sheet initially as deferred income when there is a reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as revenue in the income statement on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are recognised in the income statement over the useful life of the asset. (l) Expenses (i) Operating lease payments* Payments under operating leases are recognised in the income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. (ii) Finance income Finance income comprises interest receivable on funds invested and foreign exchange gains. Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues using the effective interest method. (iii) Finance expenses Finance expenses comprise interest payable on borrowings and foreign exchange losses. (m) Income tax* Income tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is probable that the related deferred tax benefit will be realised.

The items are then depreciated based on the deemed cost over their remaining useful economic lives. This has been done in respect of one freehold property. Impact Under UK GAAP the depreciation charge in respect of the asset was £9,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £4,000) and under IFRS the charge is £34,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £15,000) resulting in an increased charge to operating profit of £25,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £11,000). Appendix 3 (b) Employee benefits Principal difference Under UK GAAP, the Group measures pension commitments and other related benefits in accordance with SAAP 24 Accounting for Pension Costs. Additional disclosures were given in accordance with the transitional requirements of FRS 17 Retirement Benefits. Under IFRS, the Group measures pension commitments in accordance with the amended IAS 19 Employee Benefits. IAS 19 is similar to FRS 17 in that it adopts a balance sheet approach, bringing the surplus/deficit of the pension scheme onto the balance sheet. However, FRS 17 dictates that all actuarial gains and losses are to be recognised directly in reserves, whereas IAS 19 also includes an alternative option allowing actuarial gains and losses to be held on the balance sheet and released to the income statement over a period of time. Greggs has elected not to adopt this alternative option. Impact Under SAAP 24, a pension charge of £3,290,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £996,000) was recognised in operating profit in 2004. Under IFRS a charge of £2,092,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £947,000) is recognised. Therefore there is a net credit to operating costs of £1,198,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £49,000). The actuarial loss of £903,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £409,000) is recognised in the statement of recognised income and expenses. Due to the deferred tax impact the income statement tax adjustment is a charge of £359,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: charge of £15,000), resulting in an overall credit of £839,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £34,000) to profit for the period. The deferred tax credit that relates to the actuarial loss of £271,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £123,000) is recognised in the statement of recognised income and expenses resulting in an overall charge of £632,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £286,000). (c) Share-based payments Principal difference The Group operates a number of share-based incentive schemes that are impacted by IFRS 2 Share-based payments. Under UK GAAP no expense has been recognised for awards under the Executive Share Option Scheme as the intrinsic value (the difference between the exercise price and the market value at the date of exercise) was nil and for awards under the SAYE scheme as this was exempt under UITF17. Under IFRS, an expense is recognised in the income statement for all share based payments. This expense has been calculated based on the fair value at the date of the awards using pricing models appropriate to the schemes. Impact This has resulted in a charge for the full year of £124,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £57,000), recognised within operating costs. As the estimated future tax deduction in respect of share based payments exceeds the expense charged in the income statement the deferred tax credit has been recognised directly in equity. (d) Dividends Principal difference Under UK GAAP, the dividend charge is recognised in the profit and loss account. Under IFRS, the dividend is not recognised in the income statement but is recognised directly in reserves. Impact Both the interim and the final dividend for 2004 have been reversed from the income statement with an impact of £11,524,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £3,640,000).

Under UK GAAP deferred tax was not provided in respect of these rolled over gains. Transition impact A deferred tax liability has been included in the transition balance sheet of £856,000. Closing balance sheet impact There is no movement on the deferred tax liability during the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 and therefore no further impact on the closing balance sheet (12 June 2004: £nil). (b) Fair value of freehold property as deemed cost Principal difference Under the transitional rules of IFRS 1 the fair value of items of property, plant and equipment can be used as the deemed cost at the date of transition. This has been done in respect of one freehold property. Transition impact The freehold property has been included in the transition balance sheet at its deemed cost of £1,020,000. This has resulted in an increase to non-current assets and to retained earnings of £747,000. In accordance with IAS 12 a provision for deferred tax is required in respect of the increased deemed cost which increases the deferred tax liability by £224,000. The net impact on retained earnings is therefore an increase of £523,000, which is not distributable. Closing balance sheet impact The freehold property has been depreciated throughout the year. At the end of the year the balance sheet reflects the closing net book value of the asset of £986,000 (12 June 2004: £1,009,000). This has resulted in an increase in non-current assets and to retained earnings of £722,000 (12 June 2004: £736 000). The property was sold in the first half of 2005. There is no movement in the deferred tax liability during the year in respect of this asset. (c) Employee benefits Principal difference Under UK GAAP, any (liability)/asset on the balance sheet represented the timing difference between the SAAP 24 charge and the payments made to the pension scheme. Under IFRS, the (liability)/asset on the balance sheet represents the (deficit)/surplus on the defined benefit pension scheme. Transition impact A pension scheme liability of £11,347,000 has been recognised at the transition date. There is a corresponding positive deferred tax adjustment of £3,404,000 resulting from this recognition. The net effect is a reduction of shareholders' funds of £7,943,000 on transition. Closing balance sheet impact Throughout the year all movements in the deficit on the pension scheme are recognised against the liability. At the end of the period, the liability on the balance sheet reflects the closing deficit of the pension scheme. Appendix 3 This has been adjusted to reflect the actuarial loss for the year of £903,000 (24 weeks ended 12 June 2004: £409,000) that has been recognised directly in reserves. The movement in the deferred tax asset arising from this liability was £88,000 decrease (12 June 2004: increase of £108,000). (d) Share-based payments Principal difference Under UK GAAP no liability was recognised in respect of share awards as for the executive share options the intrinsic value was nil and the SAYE scheme was exempt under UITF 17. Under IFRS 2, as all of the share awards are equity settled, the balance sheet entry, based on the fair value of the awards is a credit direct to equity reserves. Transition impact A deferred tax asset of £25,000 has been recognised on transition at 28 December 2003. Closing balance sheet impact The deferred tax asset has been increased by £145,000 as at 1 January 2005 (12 June 2004: £65,000) with the deferred tax credit being recognised directly in equity. (e) Dividends Principal difference Under UK GAAP, the practice is to recognise dividends in the period to which they relate, whereas under IFRS the dividend is recognised in the period in which it is declared. As a result, the dividend creditor is not recognised until the dividend is declared and therefore at each year end needs to be adjusted accordingly. Transition impact As the 2003 interim dividend had been paid and the 2003 final dividend had not been declared at the 28 December 2003, there is no dividend creditor in the transition balance sheet. The opening creditor of £6,457,000 has been reversed. Closing balance sheet impact At the year end the 2004 interim dividend had been paid and the final dividend had not been declared. The closing dividend creditor of £7,922,000 (12 June 2004: £3,640,000) under UK GAAP has been reversed. Group cashflow statement For the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 The move from UK GAAP to IFRS does not change the cashflow statement of the Group. The IFRS cashflow statement is similar to UK GAAP but presents various cashflows in different categories and in a different order from the UK GAAP cashflow statement.

Also in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 20 June 2005 we have audited the accompanying preliminary opening consolidated IFRS balance sheet and related notes of Greggs plc as at 28 December 2003 ('the opening IFRS balance sheet') as set out on pages 4 to 12 Respective responsibilities of directors and KPMG Audit Plc The directors of the Company have accepted responsibility for the preparation of the preliminary IFRS financial information and the opening IFRS balance sheet, both of which have been prepared as part of the Company's conversion to IFRS. Our responsibilities, as independent auditors, are established in the United Kingdom by the Auditing Practices Board, our profession's ethical guidance and the terms of our engagement. Under the terms of engagement we are required to report to you our opinion as to whether the preliminary IFRS financial information and the opening IFRS balance sheet have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation to the preliminary IFRS financial information and the opening IFRS balance sheet. We also report to you if, in our opinion, we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. We read the other information accompanying both the preliminary IFRS financial information and the opening IFRS balance sheet and consider whether it is consistent with the preliminary IFRS financial information and opening IFRS balance sheet. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the preliminary IFRS financial information and with the opening IFRS balance sheet. Our report has been prepared for the Company solely in connection with the Company's conversion to IFRS. Our report was designed to meet the agreed requirements of the Company determined by the Company's needs at the time. Our report should not therefore be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by any party wishing to acquire rights against us other than the Company for any purpose or in any context. Any party other than the Company who chooses to rely on our report (or any part of it) will do so at its own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, KPMG Audit Plc will accept no responsibility or liability in respect of our report to any other party. Basis of audit opinion We conducted our audit having regard to Auditing Standards issued by the UK Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the preliminary IFRS financial information and in the opening IFRS balance sheet. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the preliminary IFRS financial information and opening IFRS balance sheet, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the preliminary IFRS financial information and opening IFRS balance sheet are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the preliminary IFRS financial information and opening IFRS balance sheet. Emphasis of matters Without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to the following matters: • The basis of preparation to the preliminary IFRS financial information and opening IFRS balance sheet explains why the accompanying preliminary IFRS financial information may require adjustment before their inclusion and before its use as comparative information in the IFRS financial statements for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005 when the Company prepares its first IFRS financial statements. • As described in the basis of preparation to the preliminary IFRS financial information, as part of its conversion to IFRSs, the Company has prepared the preliminary IFRS financial information for the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 to establish the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company necessary to provide the comparative financial information expected to be included in the Company's first complete set of IFRS financial statements for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005. The preliminary IFRS financial information and the opening IFRS balance sheet do not themselves include comparative financial information for the prior period. • In respect of the opening IFRS balance sheet, under IFRS only a complete set of consolidated financial statements comprising a balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement, together with comparative financial information and explanatory notes, can achieve a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with IFRS. • As explained in the basis of preparation, in accordance with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, no adjustments have been made for any changes in estimates made at the time of approval of the UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practices financial statements on which the preliminary IFRS financial information and the opening IFRS balance sheet are based. • As permitted by IFRS 1, IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement have not yet been applied and there has been no related restatement of the opening IFRS balance sheet or the 1 January 2005 balance sheet. Any adjustments that arise from the application of those standards will be shown as an equity movement on 2 January 2005. Opinion In our opinion, the accompanying preliminary IFRS financial information for the 53 weeks ended 1 January 2005 and the opening IFRS balance sheet as at 28 December 2003 have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis set out in the basis of preparation, which describes how IFRS have been applied under IFRS 1, including the assumptions made by the directors of the Company about the standards and interpretations expected to be effective, and the policies expected to be adopted, when they prepare the first complete set of consolidated IFRS financial statements of the Company for the 52 weeks ending 31 December 2005.
