Notes to the preliminary announcement
The preliminary results for the period ended 23 November 2004 have been prepared
using accounting policies unchanged from those set out in the company's 14
August 2003 statutory financial statements. Full audited accounts for the period
ended 23 November 2004 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies and
shareholders in due course. The financial information for the year ended 14
August 2003 is extracted from the audited financial statements to that date
which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors report on
the 2003 financial statements did not contain a statement under S237(2) or (3)
of the Act.
The statutory accounts for the period ended 23 November 2004 are expected to
include a qualified audit report as a result of non-compliance with Statement of
Standard Accounting Practice 19. The audit report in the prior year was
qualified for a similar reason. The financial information contained in this
preliminary announcement does not constitute statutory accounts within the
meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
