IFRS Statement

Wilmington Group Plc 09 November 2005 9 November 2005 WILMINGTON GROUP PLC UPDATE ON ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS Wilmington Group plc is preparing for the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as its primary accounting basis for the year ending 30 June 2006. As part of this transition, Wilmington Group is today presenting unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ended 30 June 2005 and for the six months ended 31 December 2004. The principal changes to Wilmington Group's reported financial information under UK GAAP arising from the adoption of IFRS are as a result of the: • requirement not to amortise goodwill; • recognition of all employee benefit related assets and obligations, principally pensions and share options; • recognition of deferred tax liabilities on a different basis. Basil Brookes, Financial Director of Wilmington Group, commented: 'The unaudited financial information provided today shows how IFRS impacts Wilmington Group's recent results in advance of its adoption in the 2006 financial year. The most significant change is that Wilmington Group will no longer amortise goodwill, resulting in a clearer presentation of underlying business performance. For the year ended 30 June 2005 the expected impact of the adoption of IFRS would have been to increase profit attributable to equity shareholders by £3,476k comprising principally a credit of £2,551k in relation to the cessation of goodwill amortisation and a credit of £925k in relation to deferred tax adjustments. Net assets at 30 June 2005 would have increased from £57.6 million to £59.5 million.' Enquiries: Charles Brady, Chief Executive Basil Brookes, Finance Director Wilmington Group plc Tel: 020 7422 6800 Nick Oborne / Kirsty Raper / Yvonne Alexander Weber Shandwick Tel: 020 7067 0700 INTRODUCTION: Wilmington Group plc and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') are preparing for the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as its primary accounting basis in its consolidated accounts, following the adoption of Regulation No. 1606/2002 by the European Parliament on 19 July 2002. This press release explains how the Group's previously reported UK GAAP financial performance and position are reported under IFRS. It provides, on an IFRS basis, reconciliations from UK GAAP to IFRS for the following: • the Group's unaudited consolidated income statement for the year ended 30 June 2005; • the Group's unaudited consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2005; • the Group's unaudited consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended 30 June 2005; • the Group's unaudited consolidated balance sheet at 1 July 2004 • the Group's unaudited consolidated income statement for the six months ended 31 December 2004; • the Group's unaudited consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2004; and • the Group's unaudited consolidated cash flow statement for the six months ended 31 December 2004 The consolidated opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, consolidated balance sheets as at 31 December 2004 and 30 June 2005, and the consolidated income statements for the six months ended 31 December 2004 and year ended 30 June 2005, are prepared on the basis set out in 'Basis of preparation' below. Attention is drawn to the fact that under IFRS, only a complete set of financial statements comprising a balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, together with comparative information and explanatory notes, can provide a fair presentation of the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The financial information contained herein has been prepared by management using their best knowledge and judgement of the expected standards and interpretations of the IASB, facts and circumstances, and accounting policies that will be applied when the company prepares its first complete set of IFRS financial statements as at 30 June 2006. The Group's financial results for the six month period ending 31 December 2005 will be prepared under IFRS. Therefore until such time the possibility cannot be excluded that the comparative information included in that first complete set of IFRS financial statements may not be consistent with disclosure below. The financial information presented is unaudited and does not represent the company's statutory accounts within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2005 have been reported on by the company's auditors and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in due course. The report of the auditors on such accounts was unqualified and did not contain any statement under sections 237(2) or 237(3) of the Companies Act 1985. BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial information presented in this document has been prepared on the basis of all International Financial Reporting Standards ('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. These are subject to ongoing amendment by the IASB and subsequent endorsement by the European Commission and are therefore subject to possible change. As a result, information contained within this release will require updating for any subsequent amendment to IFRS required for first time adoption or those new standards that the Group may elect to adopt early. 1. IFRS 1 exemptions IFRS 1, 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards' sets out the procedures that the Group must follow when it adopts IFRS for the first time as the basis for preparing its consolidated financial statements. The Group is required to establish its IFRS accounting policies as at 30 June 2005 and, in general, apply these retrospectively to determine the IFRS opening balance sheet at its date of transition, 1 July 2004. This standard provides a number of optional exceptions to this general principle. The most significant of these are set out below, together with a description in each case of the exception adopted by the Group. a. Business combinations that occurred before the opening IFRS balance sheet date (IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations'). The Group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations prior to 1 July 2004. b. Employee Benefits - actuarial gains and losses (IAS 19, 'Employee Benefits') The cumulative net deficit on defined benefit pension schemes and similar benefits at the transition date has been recognised in full in equity. c. Share-based Payments (IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payment') IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of equity instruments after 7 November 2002 that had not vested at 1 July 2005. d. Foreign Currency Translation differences (IAS 21, 'The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates') The Group has taken advantage of the IFRS 1 exemption allowing the cumulative translation difference on retranslation of subsidiaries' net assets to be set to zero (for all subsidiaries) at the date of transition to IFRS. 2. 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 in the event that further guidance is issued and as practice develops. KEY IMPACT ANALYSIS The analysis below sets out the most significant adjustments arising from the transition to IFRS for the year ended 30 June 2005. Similar adjustments arise from the transition to IFRS for the six months ended 31 December 2004. 1) Presentation of Financial Statements The format of the Group's primary financial statements has been presented in accordance with IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements'. IFRS 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations' requires the presentation of a single amount on the face of the income statement relating to discontinued operations. The results of the Group's discontinued operations in the year ended 30 June 2005 have been shown as a single amount in the Group's income statement for that period. 2) Intangible Assets (a) Goodwill and acquired intangible asset amortisation IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' requires that goodwill is not amortised. Instead it is subject to an annual impairment review. As the Group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations prior to the opening balance sheet date under IFRS, the UK GAAP goodwill balance at 30 June 2004 (£34.7m) has been included in the opening IFRS consolidated balance sheet and is no longer amortised. From 1 July 2004, business acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations'. In the case of subsequent acquisitions of minority interests in subsidiaries, the difference between the consideration payable for the additional interest in the subsidiary and the minority interest's share of the assets and liabilities reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition of the minority interest has been treated as goodwill. (b) Computer software Under UK GAAP, all capitalised computer software is included within tangible fixed assets on the balance sheet. Under IFRS, only computer software that is integral to a related item of hardware should be included as property, plant and equipment. All other computer software should be recorded as an intangible asset. Accordingly, a reclassification has been made in the opening balance sheet of £0.3m between property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. 3) Deferred and Current Taxes The scope of IAS 12, 'Income Taxes' is wider than the corresponding UK GAAP standards, and requires deferred tax to be provided on all temporary differences rather than just timing differences under UK GAAP. In particular this has resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities being set up in respect of differences between the accounts net book value and tax base cost of intangible assets. It also does not allow the deferred tax liability to be discounted which was the Group's policy under UK GAAP. IAS 12 also requires deferred tax to be provided in respect of the Group's liabilities under its post employment benefit arrangements and on other employee benefits such as share and share option schemes. The tax impact of these and other IFRS adjustments is quantified in the relevant section of this release. 4) Share-based Payments IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payment' requires that an expense for equity instruments granted be recognised in the financial statements based on their fair value at the date of grant. This expense which is in relation to employee option and performance share schemes is recognised over the vesting period of the scheme. IFRS 2 has been applied to all options granted after 7 November 2002 and not fully vested by 1 July 2005. The Group has adopted the Black Scholes model for the purposes of computing fair value under IFRS. 5) Post Employment Benefits The Group currently applies the provisions of SSAP 24 under UK GAAP and provides detailed disclosure under FRS 17 in accounting for pensions and other post-employment benefits. The Group's opening IFRS balance sheet reflects the assets less liabilities of the Group's defined benefit schemes totalling a net liability of £0.5m. The transitional adjustment of £0.5m to opening reserves comprises the reversal of entries in relation to UK GAAP accounting under SSAP 24 less the recognition of the net liabilities of the Group's defined benefit schemes. The impact on the Group's income statement arising from the adoption of the IAS 19 is a charge of £20k. A related tax credit of £6k was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2005. A movement of £120k in respect of actuarial gains has been recognised as a change in equity for the year ended 30 June 2005. 6) Foreign Exchange Differences Under IAS 21, net exchange differences classified as equity must be separately tracked and the cumulative amounts disclosed. SSAP 20 does not require separate tracking. 7) Holiday Pay Under IAS 19, accruals for holiday pay should be made. 8) Post Balance Sheet Events IAS 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' requires that dividends declared after the balance sheet date should not be recognised as a liability at that balance sheet date as the liability does not represent a present obligation as defined by IAS 37, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'. The final dividends proposed in relation to the financial years ended 30 June 2004 and 30 June 2005 (including those payable to minority shareholders in subsidiaries) of £1.7m and £2.2m respectively have been reversed in the relevant balance sheets and have been or will be charged to equity in the balance sheets at 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2006.
