Restatement of primary financial information for 2004 under International
Financial Reporting Standards
Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc and its subsidiaries (the Group) has for the
accounting periods up to 31st December 2004 prepared its consolidated financial
statements under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP). From
1st January 2005, the Group is required by European Directives to report its
consolidated financial statements under International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
As part of this transition, the Group is presenting a restatement of its 2004
results under IFRS. This will form the comparative to the 2005 Interim Report
and the 2005 Annual Report.
A summary of the effect of the restatement follows:-

Net assets attributable to

The principal changes from the transition to IFRS are:
Change in minorities
• Reassessing control in minority interests resulting in a change in the
treatment of the Group's investments in India and Mexico on consolidation
from subsidiary companies to associate companies. Although there is a
reduction in 2004 sales of £9.8 million and in pre-tax profit of £1.8
million, there is no change in EPS or net assets attributable to
shareholders.
Change in pensions
• Recognising the deficit on defined benefit pension schemes on the balance
sheet and the higher income statement charge for pensions under IAS 19.
For the 2004 year £27.0 million of additional balance sheet net liabilities
have been recognised and the income statement charge (before tax) increases
by £0.7 million.
Other IFRS changes
• Recording the cost of share options awarded to employees on a fair value
basis. The 2004 income statement charge (before tax) increases by £0.4
million.
• Ceasing goodwill amortisation (subject to annual impairment testing). The
2004 income statement reflects the reversal of the £0.7 million charge
under UK GAAP.
• Not accruing a liability for dividends that have not been declared or
approved at the balance sheet date. Shareholders funds increase by £11.4
million at 31st December 2004.
• Capitalisation of the development element of R&D expenditure under certain
circumstances. Net intangible assets increase by £2.5 million (before tax
effects) at 31st December 2004. Changes to the income statement are
immaterial.
• Providing deferred tax on property revaluations. This results in the
creation of a £1.8 million deferred tax liability at 31st December 2004.
The effect of the adoption of IFRS in respect of the Group's 2004 financial
statements is set out in detail in a report that can be downloaded from the
company's website at www.SpiraxSarcoEngineering.com. Alternatively copies can
be obtained from the Company Secretary at Charlton House, Cheltenham, Glos. GL53
8ER.
The Group intends to announce the interim results for the six months ended 30th
June 2005 on Tuesday 6th September 2005.
