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 />

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

present information about the Company only.<br />
