BAE SYSTEMS PLC28 April 2005 28 April 2005 BAE SYSTEMS plc Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards 1. Introduction Following the EU's adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS), BAE Systems plc (the group) will be adopting IFRS in its consolidated accountsfor accounting periods from 1 January 2005. The first financial information to be reported by the group in accordance withIFRS will be for the six months ending 30 June 2005 but the requirement topresent comparative information means that a balance sheet prepared inaccordance with IFRS as at 31 December 2003 is required. This announcement includes the consolidated results of the group converted froma UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP) basis to an IFRS basisfor the year to 31 December 2004 and the six months to 30 June 2004. This document explains the accounting policy changes from the accountingpolicies adopted under UK GAAP for the year ended 31 December 2004. The most significant changes leading to the restatement relate to: •The consolidation of the regional aircraft financing special purpose entities under IFRS •The recognition, on the balance sheet, of pension scheme liabilities, after allocation to joint ventures and associates •The inclusion of a fair value charge in respect of outstanding employee share options •The cessation of goodwill amortisation •No longer recognising proposed dividends as a liability at the balance sheet date In addition, the group shall be implementing IAS 32 Financial Instruments:Disclosure and Presentation (IAS 32) and IAS 39 Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) in its consolidated accounts with effectfrom 1 January 2005. Further information is included in the following appendices, which are availableon the group's website, www.baesystems.com Appendix 1.

Accounting policies for adoption in the first full set of IFRS financial statements A webcast of the presentation is also available on the group's website,www.baesystems.com 2. Basis of preparation The adjustments to the UK GAAP financial statements have been prepared on thebasis of all IFRSs including Standing Interpretations Committee andInternational Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee interpretationsexpected to be effective at 31 December 2005. These are subject to ongoingreview and endorsement by the EU or possible amendment by interpretativeguidance from the IASB and are therefore still subject to change. In general, for the first-time adoption of IFRS, the standards are appliedretrospectively. However there are a number of exceptions available under IFRS 1First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 1) andnote 4.2 details the exceptions that the group has applied. In November 2004 the EU endorsed a reduced version of the IAS 39 FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) standard as issued previouslyby the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). With effect from 1January 2005, the group will adopt IAS 39 in accordance with the guidance issuedby the IASB. In preparing this financial information, the group has assumed that the EU willendorse the amendment issued in December 2004 to IAS 19 Employee Benefits -Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures. 3. Overview of impact 3.1 EBITA Under UK GAAP the group has previously presented a measure of its underlyingperformance that excluded exceptional and non-trading items. This measure wasearnings before interest, taxation and amortisation (EBITA). This measure of underlying performance will remain under IFRS together with thetwo adjustments set out in section 3.2.

This adjustment eliminates the impact of this requirement on thepost acquisition period results. 2 The pension net financing credit of £24m included in finance costs under IFRScomprises the net of the expected returns on scheme assets and one year'sinterest cost of discounting the pension liabilities. Given the volatility ofthis item it has been excluded when determining underlying profit. Underlying taxed earnings increased to £564m under IFRS (£550m under UK GAAP). 3.3 Profit for the year Reconciliation of profit for the year ended 31 December 2004 Before After tax tax Ref £m £m Loss - UK GAAP (232) (466)Reformatted into IFRS format 4.1 (95) ----------------------------------- ------ -------- -------- Loss - UK GAAP in IFRS format (327) (466) IFRS adjustments: Regional aircraft financing 4.3 11 8 Pensions 4.4 38 21 Business combinations 4.5 (13) (8) Goodwill amortisation 4.6 457 457 Development costs 4.7 17 16 Share-based payments 4.8 (18) (9) Long-term contracts 4.9 2 1 Reduced depreciation from reversal of 4.10 11 8revaluation reserve Taxation 4.12 - (25)---------------------------------- ------ -------- --------Profit - IFRS 178 3---------------------------------- ------ -------- -------- 3.4 Earnings per share (EPS) Reconciliation of EPS for the year ended 31 December 2004 UK GAAP IFRS Pence Pence £m per share £m per share (Loss)/profit for the year (467) 2Preference dividends (21) (21)--------------------------- ------- -------- ------- --------Loss for the year after (488) (16.0) (19) (0.6)preference dividends Add back/(deduct) Net financing credit on - (15)pensions, post tax Uplift on acquired - 4inventories, post tax Amortisation of intangible - 13assets Goodwill impairment 546 581 Goodwill amortisation 492 ---------------------------- ------- -------- ------- --------Underlying earnings 550 18.0 564 18.4--------------------------- ------- -------- ------- -------- Weighted average number of 3,058m 3,058mshares in issue--------------------------- ------- -------- ------- -------- 3.5 Net assets Reconciliation of net assets as at 31 December 2004 Ref £m Net assets - UK GAAP 4,738 Reformatted into IFRS format (4) Net assets - UK GAAP in IFRS format 4,734 IFRS adjustments: Regional aircraft financing 4.3 36 Pensions 4.4 (2,710) Business combinations 4.5 (12) Goodwill amortisation 4.6 457 Development costs 4.7 22 Share-based payments 4.8 (8) Long-term contracts 4.9 8 Reversal of revaluation reserve 4.10 (120) Proposed dividends 4.11 178 Taxation 4.12 80 Net assets - IFRS 2,665 3.6 Net debt Reconciliation of net debt as at 31 December 2004 Ref £m Net debt - UK GAAP 5 IFRS adjustments: Regional aircraft financing 4.3 (673) Net debt - IFRS (668) 4. Changes in accounting policies Due to the implementation of IFRS there have been some changes to the group'saccounting policies: 4.1 Presentation of financial statements The group's financial information has been prepared on a basis that isconsistent with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This, in conjunction with other standards, has had the following impacts: i. Equity accounted investments: IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures requires more emphasis to be placed on the legal form of arrangements rather than what happens in practice. Accordingly, the group's investment in Airbus will be accounted for as an associate under IAS 28 Investments in Associates from the date of transition to IFRS. The impact of the change in accounting treatment is only presentational and does not impact income recognition or shareholders' funds as the group is continuing to account for its share of the Airbus results and net assets. The accounting treatment for all other investments that are accounted for as joint ventures under UK GAAP remains unchanged. In addition, under UK GAAP, the group's share of operating profit, interest and tax of equity accounted investments were presented separately. Under IAS 1, the group's share of results from equity accounted investments is presented as a single line on the income statement. As a result of the reclassification, £95m relating to the group's share of tax of equity accounted investments is reclassified from tax under UK GAAP to within profit before tax under IFRS. ii. Finance costs: Under IAS 1, income and expenses cannot be offset and therefore financial costs and financial income are separately disclosed. iii.Other income: Under IAS 1, income and expenses cannot be offset and therefore other income is presented separately from operating costs. iv. General reclassifications: • Cash and cash equivalents: Under IFRS, short-term deposits are reclassified as cash and cash equivalents. • Investment property: IAS 40 Investment Property requires that all land and buildings that are owned but not in use within the group or are for sale, are separately classified as investment property. • Retirement benefit obligation: This is being separately presented from creditors. • Taxation: IAS 1 requires that assets and liabilities for current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented separately. (v)Debtors, creditors and provisions reclassifications: IAS 1 requires that assets and liabilities are presented on a current and non-current basis. (vi) Long-term contract related reclassifications: IFRS requires that the amounts recoverable under long-term contracts are presented on the balance sheet as a single amount. (vii) Other reclassifications: • Minority interests: The adjustment reflects the reclassification of minority interests in respect of the group's equity accounted investments to be shown as a component of the net assets of the equity investments within the balance sheet. • Software: IAS 38 requires that software costs are capitalised as intangible assets. UK GAAP included such costs in tangible fixed assets. Accordingly, amortisation of £4m previously expensed as depreciation under UK GAAP is reclassified as amortisation of intangible assets under IFRS. 4.2 IFRS 1 exemptions IFRS 1 sets out the rules for an entity preparing its first IFRS financialstatements. The entity is required to determine its IFRS accounting policies inaccordance with the IFRSs that are in place at the date of transition (1 January2004) and, in general, apply them retrospectively. There are a number ofpossible exemptions from the retrospective application to assist the entity inmaking the transition. BAE Systems has taken the following exemptions: • Business combinations: Business combinations prior to the transition date (1 January 2004) have not been restated onto an IFRS basis. • Employee benefits: All cumulative actuarial gains and losses on the group's defined benefit pension schemes have been recognised in equity at the transition date. • Financial instruments: Financial instruments in the comparative period to be presented in the 2005 Annual Report are recorded on the existing UK GAAP basis, rather than in accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39. • Cumulative translation difference: IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates requires translation differences relating to a net investment in a foreign operation to be classified as a separate component of equity. In accordance with IFRS 1, the cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations are deemed to be zero at the date of transition. 4.3 Regional aircraft financing As previously reported, the group has provided guarantees in respect of residualvalues and head lease and finance payments on certain regional aircraft sold.These arrangements were transacted through Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) thatwere not considered to be quasi subsidiaries forming part of the consolidatedgroup under UK GAAP. In addition, the group entered into various leasearrangements that are treated as operating leases under UK GAAP. A significant proportion of the net exposures arising from these arrangements iscovered by a Financial Risk Insurance Programme (FRIP), which provides insurancecover for potential shortfalls in contracted and expected income. On transition to IFRS, IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements(IAS 27) requires the consolidation of all subsidiaries and SPEs the groupcontrols at 1 January 2004. Based on the IAS 27 definition of control, and aftertaking into account the facts and circumstances relevant at the transition date,the group has determined that it controls these SPEs. Accordingly, the grossassets and obligations of the SPEs are consolidated in the IFRS balance sheet asat 1 January 2004. In addition, a number of the lease arrangements arereclassified from operating leases under UK GAAP to finance leases followingtheir assessment against the lease classification criteria in IAS 17 Leases withresulting changes to assets and debt. Additionally, the reclassification of certain operating leases as finance leasesoutlined above require the reclassification of amounts payable under operatingleases included within creditors due after more than one year to amounts payableunder finance leases within net debt. The post-FRIP aircraft provision under UKGAAP remains under IFRS. The balance sheet adjustment replaces the existing UK GAAP note 20 recourseprovision and Option Aircraft Bond with aircraft (property, plant andequipment), an insurance receivable (debtors), creditors and external debt. Theadjustment to the income statement includes the recognition of additional leaseincome on the aircraft within revenue, depreciation on the aircraft withinoperating costs and an interest charge on the additional net debt offset by thereversal of the NPV adjustment disclosed under UK GAAP. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementRevenue 44Operating costs (40) ----------EBITA 4Financial income 10Financial expense (3) ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation 11Related taxation effect (3) ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation 8 ---------- Net assetsProperty, plant and equipment 389 301 (A)Debtors 153 169Cash and cash equivalents 7 7Creditors 220 56 (B)Loans and overdrafts (943) (680)Provisions 227 198 (C) --------- ---------- 53 51Related taxation effect (16) (15) --------- ----------Adjustment to net assets 37 36 --------- ---------- Notes: £m (A) Aircraft 301 Less return cost provisions (C) (32) ---------- Aircraft related assets, net 269 (B) UK GAAP creditors 38 Recourse provision within creditors under UK GAAP 18 ---------- Adjustment to creditors 56 (C) Reverse recourse provision 230 Retain return cost provisions (32) ---------- Adjustment to provisions 198 4.4 Pensions Under UK GAAP, the group currently accounts for defined benefit pension schemesin accordance with Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 24 Accounting forPension Costs (SSAP 24). The group also reports the transitional disclosuresrequired in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 17 Retirement Benefits(FRS 17), including the adjustment from the figures reported under SSAP 24 whichwould be required if FRS 17 was adopted in the financial statements. The methodology and assumptions used to calculate the value of pension assetsand liabilities under FRS 17 are substantially consistent with the requirementsof IAS 19 Employee Benefits (IAS 19). An area of difference that impacts theadjustment from SSAP 24 to IAS 19 relates to the valuation of pension fundassets. Under FRS 17, equities are valued using mid-market prices at valuationdate whereas IFRS requires the use of bid prices. The group has allocated an appropriate share of the IAS 19 pension deficit tothe equity accounted investments using a consistent method of allocation. The balance sheet adjustment replaces the existing SSAP 24 pension asset andrelated deferred tax with the group's share of the IAS 19 pension liability inprovisions and the group's share of the IAS 19 deficit allocated to the equityaccounted investments within fixed asset investments, and the related deferredtax assets. The adjustment to intangible assets represents the impact ofreplacing the SSAP 24 pension asset in the acquisition balance sheet of certainacquisitions made in 2004 with the IAS 19 liability and the related deferredtax. The income statement adjustment reflects the difference between the existingSSAP 24 operating charge and the group's IAS 19 pension charge and net pensionfinancing credit. The group's share of the operating charge recorded by theequity accounted investments is shown as an adjustment to the share of equityaccounted investments profit. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementOperating costs 11 (A)Share of results of equity accounted 6 (B)investmentsFinancial income 542 (C)Financial expense (521) (C) ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation 38Related taxation effect (17) ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation 21 ---------- Net assetsIntangible assets - 51Investments in joint ventures and (154) (260)associatesDebtors (531) (602)Retirement benefit obligation (2,314) (3,031) (D) --------- ---------- (2,999) (3,842)Related taxation effect 896 1,132 --------- ---------- Adjustment to net assets (2,103) (2,710) --------- ---------- Notes: £m(A) Operating costs 11 Share of operating profit of equity accounted 5 investments (B) ---------- Adjustment to EBITA 16 (B) Share of operating profit of equity accounted 5 investments Share of finance costs of equity accounted 3 investments Share of tax of equity accounted investments (2) ---------- 6 (C) Financial income 542 Financial expense (521) Share of finance costs of equity accounted investments 3 (B) ---------- Adjustment to finance costs 24 (D) Reverse SSAP 24 US healthcare liability 57 Reverse SSAP 24 other pension liabilities 122 Recognise IAS 19 UK/US pension deficit (3,068) Recognise IAS 19 US healthcare liabilities (73) Recognise IAS 19 European scheme liabilities (69) ---------- (3,031) 4.5 Business combinations Under UK GAAP, the difference between the consideration paid for an acquisitionand the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired is recognised asgoodwill. IFRS requires that intangible assets of an acquired business areseparately recognised from goodwill if their fair value can be measuredreliably. Intangible assets include trademarks, order backlog, licences andpatented technologies. Intangible assets recognised are then amortised overtheir useful life. Under the transition rules, the group is not required toidentify any acquired intangible assets for acquisitions prior to 2004. As aresult of acquisitions made in 2004, the group has reclassified intangibleassets of £153m out of goodwill arising on acquisition, with an associatedamortisation charge of £7m for the year ended 31 December 2004. Under UK GAAP, the fair value of acquired inventory is stated at the lower ofcost or net realisable value. Under IFRS, the fair value of acquired inventoryis based on selling price less a reasonable allowance for the costs ofcompletion and disposal. As a result, an adjustment of £6m was made to theacquisition balance sheet. As at 31 December 2004 the uplifted inventory hadbeen traded through the income statement, resulting in a £6m decrease in profitbefore tax for the year. Deferred tax liabilities have also been recognised inrespect of these intangible assets with a corresponding increase in acquiredgoodwill. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the year ended 31 December 2004 £mIncome statementOperating costs (6)Amortisation of intangible assets (7) ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation (13)Related taxation effect 5 ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation (8) ---------- Net assetsIntangible assets 30 (A)Creditors 7Provisions (1) ---------- 36Related taxation effect (48) ----------Adjustment to net assets (12) ---------- Notes: £m (A) Deferred tax in respect of acquired intangibles 49 Uplift on acquired inventories (6) Other impacts on fair values at acquisition (6) Amortisation of intangible assets (7) ---------- 304.6 Intangible assets - goodwill Under UK GAAP, the group's policy was to capitalise goodwill in respect ofbusinesses acquired and amortise it on a straight line basis over its estimateduseful economic life, which had been assessed as 20 years for all recentacquisitions. On transition to IFRS, IFRS 1 requires the group to conduct an impairment reviewof the carrying value of capitalised goodwill at 1 January 2004 for potentialimpairments. No further impairments above those made under UK GAAP were requiredat 1 January 2004. In accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations, no amortisation of goodwill ischarged in the group's consolidated IFRS accounts from 1 January 2004. Instead,annual reviews of the goodwill are performed to test for impairments. The adjustment reverses the amortisation charged in the year under UK GAAP of£492m. In addition, £35m of amortisation charged under UK GAAP relating to theAvionics business is treated as an additional impairment under IFRS.Accordingly, there is a corresponding increase in net assets.

Intangible assets include company funded development expenditure. Most of the group's expenditure on research and development is conducted underspecific customer contracts. The balance relates to company funded research anddevelopment expenditure which under UK GAAP was expensed as incurred. Of thisbalance, a significant proportion relates to research costs that will continueto be expensed as incurred. IAS 38 requires company funded development expenditure to be capitalised fromthe point it meets certain recognition criteria and amortised over the estimatedlife of the development product. The adjustment capitalises certain research and development costs previouslyexpensed under UK GAAP. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementOperating costs 4 (A)Share of results of equity accounted 13 (B)investments ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation 17Related taxation effect (1) ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation 16 ---------- Net assetsIntangible assets 3 8Investments in joint ventures and 1 16associates --------- ---------- 4 24Related taxation effect (1) (2) --------- ----------Adjustment to net assets 3 22 --------- ---------- Notes: £m (A) Capitalise previously expensed development costs 6 Amortisation of intangible assets (2) ---------- Operating costs 4 (B) Capitalise previously expensed development costs 21 Amortisation of intangible assets (8) ---------- Share of results of equity accounted investments 13 4.8 Share-based payments Under UK GAAP, the cost of share options was based on the intrinsic value in theoption at the date of grant, meaning that options granted to employees at marketprice do not generate an expense. Options granted under Save-As-You-Earn schemesare at a 20% discount to market price on the date of the grant and are exemptfrom UK GAAP accounting. Under IFRS 2 Share-based Payments, the group measures the cost of all shareoptions granted since November 2002 using fair value models. As a result,additional expense is recognised in the IFRS income statement. The adjustment increases the operating charge of the group's share optionschemes, with a portion of the increase being reflected in an increased balancesheet liability in respect of certain cash-settled share option schemes operatedin the group's US business. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementOperating costs (18) ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation (18)Related taxation effect 9 ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation (9) ---------- Net assetsProvisions (4) (14) --------- ---------- (4) (14)Related taxation effect 1 6 --------- ----------Adjustment to net assets (3) (8) --------- ---------- 4.9 Long-term contracts The group accounted for long-term contracts under UK GAAP in accordance withStatement of Standard Accounting Practice 9 Stocks and Long-term Contracts.Under IFRS, long-term contracts are accounted for under either IAS 11Construction Contracts or IAS 18 Revenue depending on the characteristics of thecontract and its deliverables. These standards provide more guidance on thedetermination of the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementCombined sales of group and equity accounted 29investmentsLess: adjustment for share of equity 14accounted investmentsOperating costs (41) ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation 2Related taxation effect (1) ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation 1 ---------- Net assetsDebtors 33 31Creditors (22) (18) -------- ---------- 11 13Related taxation effect (4) (5) -------- ----------Adjustment to net assets 7 8 -------- ---------- 4.10 Revaluation of land and buildings It had been the group's policy under UK GAAP to revalue its land and buildingsuntil Financial Reporting Standard 15 Tangible Fixed Assets was adopted in 2000.At that point the group elected that no further revaluation of land andbuildings would be undertaken. The group will not be adopting the exemptionunder the transition rules of IFRS 1 that allows the previous GAAP valuation tobe used as the deemed cost on transition to IFRS. Accordingly, the group hasreversed the previously recognised revaluations and has reverted to the use ofhistorical cost for land and buildings. The balance sheet adjustment reverses the existing UK GAAP revaluation reserveagainst the underlying fixed assets. The income statement adjustment reflectsthe reduction in the depreciation charge. The impact from this change is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementOperating costs 11 ----------Adjustment to profit before taxation 11Related taxation effect (3) ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation 8 ---------- Net assetsProperty, plant and equipment (147) (136) --------- ---------- (147) (136)Related taxation effect 19 16 --------- ----------Adjustment to net assets (128) (120) --------- ---------- 4.11 Proposed dividends Under Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 17 Post Balance Sheet Events,proposed dividends are accrued for as an adjusting post balance sheet event inthe accounting period to which they relate. Under IAS 10 Events after theBalance Sheet Date, dividends are recognised in the accounting period in whichthey are declared. Accordingly, the group has reversed the accrual for itsproposed dividends. 4.12 Taxation Under IAS 12 Income Taxes, certain temporary timing differences, principally inrespect of capital losses and rollover relief, that previously were notrecognised under UK GAAP, have been recognised. In addition, under IFRS deferredtax liabilities are created on a periodic basis where goodwill is taxdeductible. The impact from these changes is summarised as follows: for the as at year ended 1 January 31 December 2004 2004 £m £m Income statementTaxation expense (25) ----------Adjustment to profit after taxation (25) ---------- Net assetsDeferred tax assets 107 80 --------- ----------Adjustment to net assets 107 80 --------- ---------- 4.13 Financial instruments (applicable from 1 January 2005) The global nature of the group's business means it is exposed to volatility incurrency exchange rates. In order to protect itself against currencyfluctuations, the group's policy is to hedge all firm transactional exposures aswell as to manage anticipated economic cash flow exposures over the medium term.The group also uses interest rate derivative instruments to manage the group'sexposure to interest rate fluctuations on its borrowings and deposits by varyingthe proportion of fixed rate debt relative to floating rate debt over theforward time horizon. To achieve hedge accounting under IAS 39, the group is required to designatethese financial instruments against specific assets, liabilities, income andexpenses. All such instruments are measured at fair value as at the balancesheet date and the effectiveness of each hedge tested against defined criteria.Changes in the fair value of the financial instruments are recognised either inprofit or loss for the period or, in the case of a cash flow hedge, directly inequity and subsequently recognised in profit or loss for the period when theunderlying transaction is realised. For financial instruments designated as fairvalue hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedged item and the derivativeare recognised in the profit or loss for the period. Gains and losses onfinancial instruments, both realised and unrealised, that do not qualify forhedge accounting are included in profit or loss for the period. The group aimsto achieve hedge accounting treatment for all derivatives that hedge materialforeign currency exposures and those interest rate exposures where hedgeaccounting can be achieved. Under IAS 39, all financial instruments are recognised on the balance sheet aseither financial assets or financial liabilities. Under the IFRS transition rules, IAS 32 and IAS 39 will apply to accountingperiods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 with no requirement for comparativeinformation in the period to 31 December 2004. Therefore this area and VodafoneExchangeable Bond and convertible preference shares discussed below willcontinue to be accounted for under UK GAAP in the 2004 comparatives of thegroup's 2005 IFRS financial statements. An adjustment is made as at 1 January2005 to reflect the adoption of IAS 32 and IAS 39 which restates hedged assetsand liabilities to balance sheet rates and recognises the fair value offinancial instruments on the balance sheet together with the associated deferredtax. Vodafone Exchangeable Bond As previously reported, the company has in issue Bonds of £674m due in 2006which allow the Bondholders the option to exchange the Bonds for the ExchangeProperty, which is represented by the group's holding in the ordinary sharecapital of Vodafone Group Plc. Under IAS 39 this option is considered to be anembedded derivative that has to be separated from the underlying debt balance,measured at fair value and accounted for separately within net assets. Convertible preference shares The group has in issue 7.75p (net) cumulative convertible preference shares of25p each that are convertible into the group's ordinary shares of 2.5p each atthe option of the holder on 31 May in any of the years up to 2007, on the basisof 0.47904 ordinary shares for every preference share. From 1 July 2007 to 1January 2010, the company may redeem any outstanding shares at 100p per sharetogether with any arrears and accruals of dividends.
