The board has continued in its efforts to keep central costs down to a minimum. Our main focus continues to be the resolution of the pension scheme issues referred to in great detail in previous communications so that we will then be in a position to move the Company forward, hopefully culminating in a transaction in the near future. All parts of the scheme are, or near to, wind up, and we are in discussions with the Pension Protection Fund with a view to the British Polar part of the scheme being taken into the Fund. Were that to be agreed, the Company's involvement in the pensions scheme would be completed. It is hoped that this can be resolved shortly in which case we will, of course, announce any significant result once it is known. These are the first Group financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). IFRS compliant accounting policies are included. In addition, the notes to the financial information include detailed reconciliations from previously published UK GAAP information to IFRS numbers published in this interim report and explanations of the key adjustments made on adoption of IFRS. The main impacts of the adoption of IFRS upon the consolidated financial statements are in respect of pension costs, the reclassification of the Cumulative Preference Shares ("CPS") and the inclusion of accumulated unpaid CPS dividends. Pension costs The actuarial deficit is shown as a liability on the balance sheet. There is no deferred tax asset in respect of this due to it being improbable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. CPS Prior to the adoption of IFRS, the CPS had been disclosed as non-equity share capital; under IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: disclosure and presentation" these liabilities are to be reclassified within non-current liabilities. Accordingly CPS dividends are now reclassified under net finance expense and the accumulated unpaid CPS dividends are included within non-current liabilities.

|September 2005. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim | | |Financial Reporting, and are covered by IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS, | | |because they are part of the period covered by the Group's first IFRS financial | | |statements for the year ending 31 March 2006. These interim financial statements| | |have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC | | |interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time | | |of preparing these statements (December 2005). The IFRS standards and IFRIC | | |interpretations that will be applicable at 31 December 2005, including those | | |that will be applicable on an optional basis, are not known with certainty at | | |the time of preparing these interim financial statements. The policies set out | | |below have been consistently applied to all the years presented. | | | | | | | | | | | |Associated British Engineering PLC's consolidated financial statements were | | |prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK | | |GAAP) until 31 March 2005. UK GAAP differs in some areas from IFRS.

Costs incurred | | |on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved| | |products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the | | |project will be a success, considering its commercial and technological | | |feasibility, and costs can be measured reliably. Other development | | |expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs | | |previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a | | |subsequent period. Development costs that have a finite useful life and that | | |have been capitalised are amortised from the commencement of the commercial | | |production of the product on a straight line basis over a period of 24 months.| +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |(g) |Investments | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less provision for | | |impairment. | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |(h) |Cash and cash equivalents | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with | | |banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of | | |three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign | | |currencies are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet | | |date. All exchange differences are dealt with through the profit and loss | | |account. | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |(j) |Deferred taxation | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary | | |differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their | | |carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The deferred tax is| | |not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or | | |liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the | | |time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.| | |Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted | | |or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply | | |when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability | | |is settled. | | | | | | | | | | | |Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that | | |future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary | | |differences can be utilised. | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |(k) |Leases | +----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all | | |the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Assets | | |held under finance leases are capitalised at lease inception at the lower of | | |the asset's fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. | | |Obligations related to finance leases, net of finance charges in respect of | | |future periods, are included as appropriate within borrowings. The interest | | |element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the life | | |of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the | | |remaining balance of the liability for each period.
