Barclays PLC and the Issuer have applied International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") from
1 January, 2004, with the exception of the standards relating to financial instruments (IAS 32 and IAS
39) and insurance contracts (IFRS 4) which were applied only with effect from 1 January, 2005.
Therefore, in the 2004 Issuer Annual Report, the impacts of adopting IAS 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 4 are
not included in the financial statements in accordance with First-time Adoption of International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRIS 1). The results for 2005 are therefore not entirely comparable to
those for 2004 in affected areas. A summary of the significant accounting policies for Barclays PLC
and the Issuer is included in the 2005 Issuer Annual Report.
