STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED<br />

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS<br />

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost, less provision for any impairment in value. Where circumstances indicate that there may have been<br />

impairment in the carrying value of a tangible or intangible fixed asset, an impairment review is carried out using cash flows from approved<br />

forecasts and projections discounted at the Group’s weighted average cost of capital.<br />

SH<strong>AR</strong>E-BASED PAYMENTS<br />

The fair value of employee share option plans is calculated using the appropriate valuation models in accordance with FRS 20 Share-Based<br />

Payments. The resulting cost is charged to the profit and loss account over the vesting period of the options. The value of the charge is adjusted<br />

to reflect expected and actual levels of options vesting. Where share options are granted to employees of subsidiary companies, the cost is<br />

debited to the carrying value of the subsidiary investments.<br />

FOREIGN CURRENCIES<br />

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in<br />

foreign currencies are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange at the Balance Sheet date. Exchange differences on borrowings (including<br />

differences arising due to currency swaps) taken out to hedge overseas equity investments and on long-term loans which are considered<br />

equivalent to equity are taken to the translation reserve. All other differences are taken to the profit and loss account.<br />

CASH FLOW STATEMENT<br />

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of <strong>Scapa</strong> Group plc and is included in the consolidated financial statements of <strong>Scapa</strong> Group plc<br />

which are publicly available. Consequently, the Company has taken advantage of the exemption from preparing a cash flow statement under<br />

the terms of FRS 1 Cash Flow Statements (revised 1996).<br />

CONSOLIDATION<br />

Consolidated accounts for the Company are prepared under International Accounting Standards and as a result these financial statements<br />

present information about the Company only.<br />

RELATED P<strong>AR</strong>TIES<br />

Company; there were no contributions outstanding at the year end. There are no other related party transactions. The Company is exempt under<br />

the terms of FRS 8 from disclosing related party transactions with entities that are wholly owned subsidiaries.<br />
