VICTORIA P.L.C. SUMMARISES THE IMPACT OF
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
Victoria P.L.C. is required to report its results for the first six months of
the year ending March 2006 using IFRS for the first time. The comparative data,
(the results for the six months ended 2 October 2004 and for the year ended 2
April 2005) will also be reported under IFRS.
The interim report for the six months ended 1 October 2005 will be issued on 23
November 2005. In advance of that, the impact of the conversion to IFRS on the
comparative data has been summarised in this announcement. The principal changes
on adopting IFRS in place of UK GAAP for the year ended 2 April 2005 are
summarised below:
2 April 2005
UK GAAP IFRS
£'000 £'000
Turnover from continuing operations 49,880 49,444
Profit before tax from continuing operations 3,071 3,026
Profit attributable to equity shareholders 839 830
Shareholders funds 25,258 26,905
Net borrowings 11,917 11,917
p/share p/share
Basic earnings per share 12.08 11.95
Underlying earnings per share 30.96 30.83
• The adoption of IFRS has no cash impact.
• Profit before tax is £45,000 lower due to:
• Average exchange rate £(34,000)
• Goodwill amortisation £3,000
• Depreciation of buildings £37,000
• Financial instruments £(51,000)
• Shareholders funds increase by £1,647,000, including £799,000 as a result
of the annual dividend being accounted for when paid, and £889,000 as a
result of the property revaluation (net of deferred tax).
Underlying profits and earnings under UK GAAP and IFRS are stated before
exceptional items and discontinued activities.
It is possible that further changes will be required to the comparative data
before it is published in the interim report and in the financial statements for
the year ending 1 April 2006, as further interpretative guidance on the
standards may be issued.
The conversion to IFRS in respect of the Group's 2005 financial statement is set
out in detail in a report that can be downloaded from the company's web-site at
www.victoria.plc.uk or can be obtained from Victoria P.L.C.'s registered office
at Worcester Road, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, DY10 1HL.
