Notes to the accounts
1 Basis of preparation
The group has historically prepared its audited annual accounts and unaudited
interim results in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting practice (UK
GAAP).Following new accounting standards the group is now required to present
its annual report and accounts in accordance with International Accounting and
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The IFRS information in this report for the six months ended 31 August 2007 is a
restatement of information extracted from the statutory financial statements
prepared under UK GAAP on a historical cost basis. Those statutory accounts
were filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors report on those
accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237 (2)
or section 237 (3) of the Companies Act 1985.The restated IFRS information
provided for the year ended 28 February 2007 does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
However these are anticipated to form the comparative period in the statutory
accounts for the year ending 28 February 2008, the Group's first report to be
prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2006 and 31
August 2007 have been prepared by the Group in accordance with IFRS and
accounting policies that will be applied when the Group prepares its first IFRS
financial statements for the year ending 28 February 2008.The financial
information for the six months ended 31 August 2007 does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined by Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
