       UPDATE ON ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

T&F Informa plc is preparing for the adoption of International Financial
Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as its primary accounting basis for the year ending
31 December 2005. As part of this transition, the Group is today presenting
unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year
ended 31 December 2004(1).

This press release explains how the Group's previously reported UK GAAP
financial performance and position are reported under IFRS.  It provides
reconciliations from UK GAAP to IFRS for the following:

•  the Group's unaudited consolidated IFRS income statement for the year 
   ended 31 December 2004(2); and

•  the Group's unaudited consolidated IFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2004(2).

The principal changes to T&F Informa plc's reported financial information under
UK GAAP arising from the adoption of IFRS are as a result of the:

•   adoption of the acquisition accounting method, rather than merger 
    accounting, for the combination of Taylor & Francis Group plc and Informa
    Group plc on 10 May 2004. Under IFRS 3, this results in the recognition of
    significant additional intangible assets, goodwill and deferred taxation as 
    well as the exclusion of the results of Taylor & Francis Group plc for the
    pre-acquisition period from 1 January 2004 to 10 May 2004. Certain costs,
    treated as merger costs under UK GAAP, have been reclassified as costs of
    acquisition and added to goodwill in the balance sheet. Informa Group plc
   (subsequently renamed T&F Informa plc) is deemed to be the acquiring company;

•   recognition of pension obligations;

•   requirement not to amortise goodwill but instead only to amortise the 
    separately recognised intangible assets;

•   recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets on all temporary 
    differences as opposed to just timing differences;

•   inclusion of a 'fair value' charge in relation to employee share options; 
    and

•   write off of deferred promotional expenditure.


(1) This information relates to T&F Informa plc and excludes the recently
    announced acquisition of IIR Holdings Limited.

(2) Attention is drawn to the fact that under IFRS, only a complete set of
    financial statements comprising a balance sheet, income statement, statement 
    of changes in equity, cash flow statement, together with comparative 
    information and explanatory notes, can provide a fair presentation of the 
    company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.



The consolidated IFRS income statement for the year ended 31 December 2004 and
the consolidated IFRS balance sheet as at 31 December 2004 are prepared on the
basis set out in 'Basis of preparation' on pages 1 and 2 of the following
statements.

The financial information contained on pages 6 to 12, has been prepared in
accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'),
including International Accounting Standards ('IAS') and interpretations issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and its committees.

These standards are subject to ongoing amendment by the IASB and subsequent
endorsement by the European Commission and are therefore subject to possible
change. As a result, information contained within these statements may require
updating for any subsequent amendments to IFRS required for 'first time adoption
' (IFRS 1) or any new IFRS standards that the Group may elect to adopt early.

The financial information presented is unaudited and for illustration purposes
only.

Basis of preparation

The financial information presented in this document has been prepared in
accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'),
including International Accounting Standards ('IAS') and interpretations issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and its committees.
These standards are subject to ongoing amendment by the IASB and subsequent
endorsement by the European Commission and are therefore subject to possible
change. As a result, information contained within these statements may require
updating for any subsequent amendments to IFRS required for 'first time adoption
' (IFRS 1) or any new IFRS standards that the Group may elect to adopt early.

In preparing this financial information, the Group has also assumed that the
European Commission will endorse IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payments' and the
amendment to IAS 19, 'Employee Benefits - Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group
Plans and Disclosures'.

1.        IFRS 1 exemptions

IFRS 1, 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards'
sets out the procedures that the Group must follow when it adopts IFRS for the
first time as the basis for preparing its consolidated financial statements. The
Group is required to establish its IFRS accounting policies as at 31 December
2005 and, in general, apply these retrospectively to determine the IFRS opening
balance sheet at its date of transition, 1 January 2004.

This standard provides a number of optional exceptions to this general
principle. The most significant of these are set out below, together with a
description in each case of the exception adopted by the Group in these
statements.

a.             Business combinations that occurred before the opening IFRS
balance sheet date (IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations').

The Group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business
combinations that took place before the date of transition, 1 January 2004. As a
result, goodwill arising from past business combinations has not been amortised
during 2004 except for an impairment provision of £15.00m.

All other business combinations since 1 January 2004 have been accounted for
under IFRS 3. The most notable impact of this has been the reversal of the
Merger accounting rules applied to the combination of Taylor & Francis Group plc
and Informa Group plc on 10 May 2004 which has now been accounted for under the
Acquisition accounting method.

b.             Pensions and other similar employee benefits - actuarial gains
and losses (IAS 19, 'Employee Benefits')

The Group has elected to recognise all cumulative actuarial gains and losses in
relation to employee benefit schemes at the date of transition. The Group has
recognised actuarial gains and losses in full in the period in which they occur
in a statement of recognised income and expense in accordance with the amendment
to IAS 19, issued on 16 December 2004 (note 7).

c.             Share-based payments (IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payment')

The Group has elected to apply IFRS 2 to all relevant share based payment
transactions granted after 7 November 2002 but not fully vested at 1 January
2005.

d.             Financial Instruments (IAS 32, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure
and Presentation' and IAS 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement')

The Group has not applied IAS 32 and IAS 39 for the period presented and has
therefore taken advantage of the exemption in IFRS 1 that enables the Group to
apply these standards from 1 January 2005.

The application of IAS 32 and IAS 39 from 1 January 2005 will result in the
recognition of interest rate swaps of £3.00m (liability) and foreign currency
sale contracts of £1.50m (asset) on 1 January 2005. It is anticipated that the
interest rate swaps will unwind over the next 5 years and the foreign currency
sales will be recognised in the interim financial statements to 30 June 2005.

2.         Presentation of financial information

The primary statements within the financial information contained in this
document have been presented in accordance with IAS 1, 'Presentation of
Financial Statements'. However, this format and presentation may require
modification in the event that further guidance is issued and as practice
develops.

Key impact analysis

The analysis below sets out the most significant adjustments arising from the
transition to IFRS.

1.                   Presentation of Financial Statements

The format of the Group's primary financial statements has been presented in
accordance with IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements'. The combination
of Taylor & Francis Group plc and Informa Group plc on 10 May 2004 has been
accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting as required under IFRS
3 which, together with other adjustments, adds £554.59m to Goodwill and
Intangible Fixed Assets (note 3) compared to the previous merger accounting
method.  In addition only the results post 10 May 2004 are included for Taylor &
Francis Group plc resulting in a net reduction to Group turnover of £54.82m and
an increase to profit after tax of £0.02m.

2.                   Intangible Assets

a.            Goodwill and acquired intangible assets amortisation

IAS 38, 'Intangible Assets' states that goodwill is not amortised. Instead
goodwill is subject to an annual impairment review. As the Group has elected not
to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations prior to 1 January
2004, the original UK GAAP goodwill balance at 1 January 2004 (£306.13m) has
been included in the opening IFRS consolidated balance sheet and is no longer
amortised, but continues to be subject to impairment reviews.

Due to the adoption of the acquisition method of accounting for the combination
of Taylor & Francis Group plc and Informa Group plc, an additional £554.59m
(note 3) of goodwill and intangible assets has been recognised as at the date of
the combination (10 May 2004).

The goodwill amortisation charge previously calculated under UK GAAP has been
credited to the profit and loss account. Under IAS 38 the group is required to
amortise intangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The
resultant net credit to the profit and loss account is £21.00m (note 3) for the
year ended 31 December 2004.

IFRS 1 requires that an annual impairment review of goodwill is conducted in
accordance with IAS 36, 'Impairment of Assets' at the date of transition
irrespective of whether there is an indication of impairment.  No impairments
other than the £15.00m previously reported in the UK Group results for the year
to 31 December 2004 were necessary.

b.            Computer Software

Under UK GAAP, capitalised computer software is included within tangible fixed
assets on the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment. Under IAS 38 only
computer software that is integral to a related item of hardware can be included
as property, plant and equipment. All other computer software is recorded as an
intangible asset.

Accordingly, a reclassification has been made in the opening balance sheet of
£5.91m (net book value) from property, plant and equipment to intangible assets
(note 3).

3.                   Deferred and Current Taxes

IAS 12, 'Income Taxes' requires deferred tax to be provided on all temporary
differences rather than just timing differences as under UK GAAP.  It also
requires deferred tax to be provided in respect of the Group's liabilities under
its post employment benefit arrangements and on other employee benefits such as
share and share option schemes. The tax impact of these and other IFRS
adjustments is quantified in the relevant section of this statement (note 4).

'Tax on profit on ordinary activities' on the face of the consolidated income
statement comprises the tax charge of the Company, its subsidiaries and its
share of the tax charge of joint ventures.

In particular the reader's attention is drawn to the requirement to provide a
full deferred tax liability in respect of intangible assets, other than
goodwill, which were recognised on the acquisition of Taylor and Francis Group
plc to the extent that those assets exceed their tax base.  This liability will
be amortised as the intangible assets are amortised.  The effect of this
recognition has been to increase goodwill by £106.25m (note 3) and deferred tax
by £106.25m.

4.                   Share-based Payments

IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payments' states that an expense for equity instruments
granted should be recognised in the financial statements based on their 'fair
value' at the date of grant. This expense, which is primarily in relation to
employee option and performance share schemes, is then recognised over the
vesting period of the relevant scheme.

The Group has applied IFRS 2 to all instruments granted after 7 November 2002
but not fully vested as at 1 January 2005 and has adopted the Binomial model for
the purposes of computing 'fair value'.

The charge arising from the adoption of IFRS 2 on the Group's income statement
is £2.56m in the year ended 31 December 2004.

Deferred tax is also provided based upon the expected future tax deductions
relating to share-based payment transactions, and is recognised over the vesting
period of the schemes concerned. The additional deferred tax credit in respect
of the recognition of these share-based payment transactions was £0.77m for the
year ended 31 December 2004.

5.                   Post Employment Benefits

The Group applied the provisions of SSAP 24 under UK GAAP and provided detailed
disclosure under FRS 17 in accounting for pensions and other post-employment
benefits.

The Group has elected to adopt early the amendment to IAS 19, 'Employee Benefits
' issued by the IASB on 16 December 2004 which allows all actuarial gains and
losses to be charged or credited to equity.

The Group's IFRS balance sheet at 1 January 2004 reflects the assets and
liabilities of the Group's defined benefit schemes totalling a liability gross
of deferred tax of £13.89m. The transitional adjustment of £13.89m to opening
reserves comprises the reversal of entries in relation to UK GAAP accounting
under SSAP 24 less the recognition of the net liabilities of the Group's and
associated undertakings' defined benefit schemes. In addition a further pension
deficit of £4.88m (gross of deferred tax) has been recognised as a result of the
adoption of acquisition accounting for the combination of Informa Group plc and
Taylor & Francis Group plc.  The incremental charge, net of deferred tax arising
from the adoption of IAS 19 on the Group's income statement is £0.58m in the
year ended 31 December 2004.

6.                   Deferred promotional expenditure

IAS 38 'Intangible Assets' states that deferred promotional costs, which had
previously been capitalised under inventory, must be written off as incurred.
Accordingly, deferred promotional costs of £4.00m have been written off the
opening balance sheet as at 1 January 2004, with a further £0.96m being written
off in the year ending 31 December 2004.

7.                   Post Balance Sheet Events & Dividends

IAS 10, 'Events after the Balance Sheet Date' requires that dividends declared
after the balance sheet date should not be recognised as a liability at that
balance sheet date as the liability does not represent a present obligation as
defined by IAS 37, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'.

The final dividend declared in April 2004 in relation to the financial year
ended 31 December 2003 of £7.48m has been reversed in the opening balance sheet
and charged to equity in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2004. An adjustment
to reverse the final dividend declared in April 2005 (£15.87m) has also been
made to the balance sheet as at 31 December 2004.

The net effect of the above adjustment to dividends is a net credit of £8.39m to
reserves in the year ended 31 December 2004.

Performance measurement

Income Statement

The IASB and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB') have
established an international working group on performance reporting. This has
been set up to help the Boards in their joint project to establish standards for
the presentation of information in financial statements that would improve the
usefulness of that information in assessing the financial performance of an
entity. Given that this project has yet to reach final conclusions, the Group
has provisionally defined a number of additional performance measures that it
anticipates publishing under IFRS.

•                    'Adjusted operating profit' defined as:

'Operating profit from subsidiaries and the Group's share of the net result from
equity accounted interests excluding items not related to underlying business
performance'.

The items not relating to underlying business performance include the
amortisation of intangible assets and those items which would have been
classified as operating exceptional items under UK GAAP.

•                    'Adjusted earnings per share' is measured using:

'Net income attributable to equity shareholders, adjusted for:

-              Non-operating income and expense; and

-              Items not relating to underlying business performance.'

An analysis of adjusted operating profit and the adjusted earnings per share
measure is provided in the notes to IFRS information (notes 1 and 2).
