Basis of preparation The restated information has been prepared on the basis of all InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC),International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) andinterpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)that are either, endorsed by the EU and effective (or available for earlyadoption) or, are expected to be endorsed and effective (or available for earlyadoption) for the Group's first IFRS annual financial statements for the yearending 31 May 2006. Based on these IFRS standards, the directors have madeassumptions about the accounting policies expected to be applied when the firstannual IFRS consolidated accounts are prepared for the year ending 31 May 2006(the first annual IFRS consolidated accounts). 7. Transitional arrangements The requirements for first time adoption of IFRS are set out in IFRS 1, firsttime adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. In general, acompany is required to define its IFRS accounting policies and apply theseretrospectively to determine its opening balance sheet as at 1 June 2004. Toassist companies in their transition to reporting under IFRS, IFRS1 sets outvarious exceptions and exemptions from this principle of full retrospectiveadoption. The exemptions that NCC Group plc has applied under IFRS are asfollows: a) Business combinations (IFRS 3) The Group has elected to apply IFRS 3 from the date of transition to IFRS ratherthan to restate previous business combinations. b) Share based payments (IFRS 2) The Group has elected not to apply the provisions of IFRS2, Share basedpayments, to share options granted on or before 7 November 2002 which had notvested on or before 1 January 2005. c) Foreign exchange differences (IAS 21) The Group has elected to apply IAS 21 and deem the cumulative exchangedifferences to be zero at the date of transition. 8. Significant changes in accounting policies Significant changes in accounting policies, which have arisen from NCC Group'stransition to IFRS, are discussed below. The impact of the changes in policy isquantified by each standard in the attached appendices. IFRS 2 Share-based payments IFRS 2 requires that an expense for all equity-settled share based payments isrecognised. The expense is calculated with reference to the fair value of the award on thedate of grant and is spread over the period during which the employee becomesunconditionally entitled to the award, adjusted to reflect actual and expectedlevels of vesting. Black-Scholes, Binomial and Monte Carlo simulation modelshave been used to calculate the fair values of options on their grant date forall options issued after 7 November 2002 which had not vested by 1 January 2005. The impact of this is to reduce profit for the year ended 31 May 2005 by£297,000 (six months ended 30 November 2004: £129,000) together with anassociated tax credit of £89,000 (six months ended 30 November 2004: £39,000). 8. Significant changes in accounting policies (continued) IFRS 3 Business combinations Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising on acquisitions made post 1 January 1998 wascapitalised and amortised, on a straight line basis, over its useful economiclife. Under IFRS 3, positive goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life andconsequently is not amortised, but instead is subject to impairment testing bothannually and when there are indications that the carrying value may not berecoverable in full. As permitted by IFRS 1, NCC Group plc has applied IFRS 3 from the transitiondate, rather than restating all previous business combinations. The impact of IFRS 3 on NCC Group plc is that the amortisation of goodwill isreversed increasing profit for the year ended 31 May 2005 by £1.5m (six monthsended 30 November 2004 £0.752m) IAS 10 Events after the balance sheet date Under UK GAAP, dividends declared after the period end are recognised as aliability of the company at the balance sheet date. Under IAS 10, dividends declared after the period end represent a non-adjustingpost balance sheet event and therefore no liability is recognised at the balancesheet date. Consequently, there is an adjustment as at 31 May 2005 to remove the liabilityof £571,000 (30 November 2004 interim dividend £245,000) SIC 15 Leasehold incentives Under UK GAAP the policy was to defer the incentive of a year's rent free periodup to the first break clause in the lease. Under SIC 15 leasehold incentives must be spread over the whole of the leaseterm. Consequently the effect is to reduce profit for the year ended 31 May 2005 by£15,000 (six months ended 30 November 2004: £8,000) together with an associatedtax credit of £5,000 (six months ended 30 November 2004: £3,000). Presentation of financial information The layout of the primary financial information has been amended in accordancewith IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' from that presented under UKGAAP. This format and presentation may require modification as practice andindustry consensus develops. 9. Revised accounting policies under IFRS Basis of preparation The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the recognitionand measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards inissue that are either endorsed by the EU and effective (or available for earlyadoption) at 31 May 2006 or are expected to be endorsed and effective (oravailable for early adoption) at 31 May 2006, the Group's first annual reportingdate at which IFRS are to be adopted. The preparation of this financialinformation resulted in changes to the accounting policies as compared with themost recent annual financial statements prepared under previous GAAP. Theaccounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periodspresented in this financial information. 9. Revised accounting policies under IFRS (continued) Basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the company. Control exists where thecompany has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial andoperating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidatedfinancial statements from the date control commences until the date that controlceases. (ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expensesarising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing theconsolidated financial information. Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fairvalue of net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill arising on acquisitions is capitalised and subject to an impairmentreview, both annually and when there are indication that its carrying value maynot be recoverable. Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is charged to the income statement to write off the cost less theestimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments overtheir estimated useful economic lives as follows: Computer equipment 20% to 33%Plant and equipment 20%Fixtures and fittings 20%Motor vehicles 25% Revenue recognition Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods and services provided during theperiod, excluding VAT and after deferred income. The results of partiallycompleted contracts whether fixed price or on a time and materials basis aredealt with on a percentage completion basis by including the profit or lossearned on work completed to the balance sheet date. Provisions are made for anylosses on uncompleted contracts expected to be incurred after the balance sheetdate. Maintenance and Escrow Solution agreement revenue is recognised on astraight-line basis over the life of the related agreement. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling atthe date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreigncurrencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheetdate. The balance sheets of overseas undertakings are also translated at the rates ofexchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Income statements of overseasundertakings are translated at the average rates of exchange for the accountingperiod. The exchange differences arising from the retranslation of the openingbalance sheet amounts are dealt with through equity. All other exchangedifferences are dealt with through the income statement. Under IAS 21, exchange differences resulting from the translation of the openingnet investment in foreign operations that arise after the transition date arerecognised as a separate reserve. 9. Revised accounting policies under IFRS (continued) Leases Operating lease rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight-linebasis over the period of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised inthe income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. Pension benefits The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of thescheme are kept separately from those of the Group in an independentlyadministered fund. The amount charged against profits represents thecontributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. Share-based payments The fair value of equity instruments granted to employees is charged to theincome statement with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value ismeasured at grant date, using an appropriate valuation model, and spread overthe period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to anaward. The charge is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares or optionsthat vest, except where forfeiture is due to a market based criteria. Taxation Tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in theincome statement except to the extent that it relates to items recogniseddirectly 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 at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to taxpayable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing fortemporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities forfinancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Theamount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisationor settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, using tax ratesenacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable thatfuture taxable profits will be available against which the asset can beutilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is probable thatthe related deferred tax benefit will be realised. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents, for the purpose of the cash flow statement, comprisescash in hand and deposits repayable on demand less overdrafts payable on demand.
