News Release: Transition from UK GAAP to IFRS
1 September 2005
Vislink plc ('The Group'), a leading supplier of microwave radio and satellite
transmission products for the broadcast and security markets and of CCTV systems
for the marine security market has today announced its interim results for the
six months to 30 June 2005. These interim financial statements are the first
interim financial statements following the adoption of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).
As the Group has not previously published a full set of financial statements
under IFRS the content of these statements has been expanded to include
summarised reconciliations of net assets and equity from previously reported
amounts under UK GAAP for the six months ended 30 June 2004 and the year ended
31 December 2004.
The purpose of this release is to provide a more detailed analysis of the impact
of adopting IFRS on the Group.
1. Introduction
In accordance with European Union (EU) regulations, all listed groups within the
EU are required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in
their consolidated accounts for accounting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2005. Therefore, the Group's first IFRS results are for the six months
ending 30 June 2005. These results and the financial statements for the year to
31 December 2005 will include comparative information for 2004.
The purpose of this report is to provide guidelines as to the impact of the
initial transition balance sheet adjustments and the restatement of the 2004
published financial statements. Although our independent auditors have provided
guidance on the process of transition, the numbers in this report are not
audited.
2. Summary of changes
The major changes required to the financial statements of the Group by the
introduction of IFRS are:
•the recording of share-based payments at fair value
•the cessation of the amortisation of goodwill
•the timing of the recognition of a dividend creditor
•the recognition of certain deferred tax liabilities
•the recognition of intangible assets whereby certain qualifying costs in
respect of product development which were written off under UK GAAP are
required to be capitalised and amortised over a future period of time
The restated accounting policies and reconciliations between financial
statements previously presented under UK GAAP and the IFRS presentation are
included in the following appendices:
Appendix 1: Restatement of Group accounting policies
Appendix 2: Restatement of the balance sheet at 1 January 2004

3.3 Underlying Profit
Under UK GAAP the Group has previously presented a measure of underlying profit
in the income statement by excluding goodwill and exceptional non-trading items.
The term 'underlying' is not a defined term under IFRS and therefore may not be
comparable with similarly titled profit measurements reported by other
companies. It is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to GAAP
measurements of profit.
In implementing IFRS it is necessary to revise the Group's definition of
underlying profit in order that the Group may continue to present a measure of
its underlying performance. In presenting underlying profits and earnings per
share under IFRS the Group will exclude non-trading exceptional items as before,
the impairment of goodwill and the amortisation of acquired intangible assets
resulting from business combinations.
The table below shows the comparative underlying earnings between UK GAAP and
IFRS:

4. Transitional arrangements
Under the provisions of IFRS1 (First Time Adoption of IFRS) specific exemptions
may be applied in certain areas as part of the transition of the financial
statements to IFRS. The Group has elected to take advantage of the following
exemptions:
•Business combinations completed prior to 1 January 2004 have not been
restated under the provision of IFRS 3 Business Combinations;
•Under the transitional provisions in IFRS2 Share-based Payments, only
share grants made after 7 November 2002 have been fair valued:
•The 2004 comparative information has not been prepared in accordance with
IAS 32, 'Financial instruments: Disclosure and presentation' and IAS 39,
'Financial instruments: 'Recognition and measurement'.
5. Details of changes
5.1 IFRS2 - Share-based payments IFRS 2
Under UK GAAP share incentive schemes were accounted for under UITF 17, which is
based on the intrinsic value of the awards. All approved employee share saving
schemes were exempted from a charge under this standard. In addition, as the
Group's existing executive options had a strike price equal to the market value
at the time of the grant, the intrinsic value of these awards was calculated as
zero and so no charge to the profit and loss account was made historically.
Under IFRS2 share awards must be measured at fair value at grant date and should
be recognised as an expense over the vesting period.
The Group has undertaken a review of methods for valuing share options awards,
as all options granted since 7 November 2002, a date specified in IFRS2, which
vest after the effective date of IFRS2 on 1 January 2005 require valuation.
Options issued under the Vislink plc Sharesave Scheme and the Vislink plc Share
Option Scheme have been valued using the Black-Scholes model.
The impact of this standard on the financial statements of the Group will be a
charge to the profit and loss account of £47,000 for the year ended 31 December
2004 offset by an equivalent credit to reserves.
5.2 IFRS 3 - Business combinations
IFRS3 deals with accounting for business combinations including goodwill and
intangible assets.
The Group's current policy under UK GAAP is that goodwill recognised on
acquisitions made after 1997 was amortised over its useful life, which in the
case of acquisitions by the Group was 20 years. In addition the Group tested for
impairment when there is an indication that the carrying value of an asset might
be impaired.
Under IFRS3 this policy will be replaced by an annual impairment test and
cessation of goodwill amortisation.
At the transition date the Group had goodwill assets of £18.1 million, which
under the transitional arrangements laid out in IFRS 1 was deemed to be the fair
value of these assets.
During the year ended 31 December 2004, under UK GAAP, a goodwill amortisation
charge of £1.13 million was made, which is added back under IFRS.
At 31 December 2004 an impairment review was undertaken in respect of the
goodwill associated with the UK broadcast business. The goodwill at 31 December
2004 was considered to be fairly valued after the goodwill amortisation charge
in 2004 of £0.82million. Therefore this charge has been reclassified as an
impairment of goodwill under IFRS.
5.3 IAS 10 - Events after the balance sheet date
IAS10 does not permit dividends declared after the balance sheet date to be
recognised as a liability. Consequently, under IFRS, the Group will no longer
make provision for unapproved dividends at a period end.
The effect of this change is to increase shareholders' equity at 1 January 2004
by £202,000 and at 31 December 2004 by £246,000 and a corresponding reduction in
trade and other payables.
5.4 IAS 12 - Taxation
IAS12 requires entities to provide for deferred taxation based on temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets/liabilities and their tax
base. Consequently, the Group has made additional provision for deferred tax in
respect of certain non-qualifying properties.
The effect of this change is to decrease shareholders' equity at 1 January 2004
by £328,000 and at 31 December 2004 by £321,000 and a corresponding increase in
the deferred tax liability.
In addition the Group has made provision for deferred tax on separately
identified intangible development costs, see 5.6 below.
5.5 IAS 21 - Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates
IAS21 requires that the cumulative impact of movements in translation rates on
the foreign net assets of the business needs to be tracked separately and that,
should a subsidiary be sold, the cumulative translation value associated with
the subsidiary is reversed as part of the sale transaction. The Group has
therefore reclassified the cumulative translation movements on the net assets of
its overseas subsidiaries (Hernis and MRC) from the profit and loss account to a
translation reserve. There is no net impact on total shareholders' equity.
At 1 January 2004 the cumulative historic translation deficit was £2.13million.
At 31 December 2004 this had increased by £0.92million to £3.05million.
5.6 IAS38 - Research and development costs
IAS 38 requires that all development costs meeting specified criteria be
capitalised as intangible assets. As part of the IFRS transition preparation
Vislink has reviewed all its development projects, whether the costs were
previously recognised under UK GAAP or not, to determine whether the criteria in
IAS 38 were met or not. The key eligibility criteria for capitalisation relate
to:
• The identification of development costs. In general the Group's research
and development activities are closely interrelated and it is not until the
technical feasibility of a product can be determined with reasonable
certainty that development costs are separately identifiable; and
• The generation of future economic benefit. Intangible assets are not
recognised unless the resultant product is expected to generate future
economic benefit in excess of the amount capitalised.
As a result of the review the development costs associated with certain products
met the criteria of IAS 38 and have therefore been capitalised, and subsequently
amortised over their estimated useful lives (generally three years). The net
book value capitalised as at 1 January 2004 was £0.84million. A deferred tax
liability associated with the capitalised amount of £0.32million was also
created (see 5.4).
For the year ended 31 December 2004 a further £0.99million was capitalised under
IFRS and there is an amortisation charge of £0.76million. The deferred tax
liability is also increased in the year by £0.07million.
At 31 December 2004 the net book value of capitalised development costs under
IFRS is £1.03million (after a reduction in respect of a foreign exchange
adjustment of £0.04million) and the associated deferred tax liability is
£0.39million.

Appendix 1
Restatement of accounting policies
This appendix provides a summary of Vislink's new Group accounting policies
under IFRS.
Basis of preparation
The restated financial information for the transition to IFRS at 1 January 2004,
the interim period ended 30 June 2004 and the year ended 31 December 2004 have
been prepared in accordance with all International Financial Reporting Standards
and IFRIC interpretations that had been published by 30 June 2005 and apply to
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The standards used are
those endorsed by the EU together with those standards and interpretations that
have been issued by the IASB but had not been endorsed by the EU by 30 June
2005. The 2004 comparative information has, as permitted by the exemption in
IFRS 1, not been prepared in accordance with IAS 32, 'Financial instruments:
Disclosure and presentation' and IAS 39, 'Financial instruments: Recognition and
measurement'.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements include the results of the Company and its
subsidiary undertakings. The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year
are included from the date of acquisition. The results of businesses disposed of
are included to the date of disposal.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries and the Company are prepared for
the same reporting year as the Group, using consistent accounting policies but
in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UKGAAP).
Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that
may exist. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised
profits arising from inter-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.
Business combinations and goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration
for the interest in subsidiary undertakings over the fair value to the Group of
the net tangible and intangible assets and any contingent liabilities acquired.
Goodwill arising on acquisitions is capitalised and subject to impairment
review, both annually and when there are indications that the carrying value may
not be recoverable.
Prior to 1 January 1997, goodwill was written off to reserves in the year of
acquisition. Goodwill arising after 1 January 1997 was amortised over its
estimated useful life; under IFRS such amortisation ceased on 31 December 2003.
From 1 January 2004 it will be subject to impairment reviews as above.
Acquired intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations are capitalised at
fair value at the date of acquisition. Following the initial recognition, the
carrying amount of an intangible asset is its cost less accumulated amortisation
and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is charged on the basis of
the estimated useful life (5 years) and the expense is taken to the income
statement.
Investments
All investments are initially recorded at cost, being the fair value of
consideration given including the acquisition costs associated with the
investment. Subsequently they are reviewed for impairment on an individual
basis, if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not
be fully recoverable.
Property, plant and equipment
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
provision for impairment.
Depreciation is calculated in order to write off the cost of property plant and
equipment, other than land, over their estimated useful lives by equal annual
installments using the following rates:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freehold and long leasehold buildings 2%
Motor vehicles 25%
Plant and machinery 10%-33%
Fixtures and fittings 10%
Durable tools 10%-33%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leases
Assets held under finance leases are capitalised and included in property, plant
and equipment at fair value. Depreciation is provided in accordance with the
Group's depreciation policy. The capital elements of obligations under finance
leases are recorded as liabilities. The interest elements of the rental
obligation are allocated to accounting periods over the lease term to give a
constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a
straight-line basis.
Inventory and work in progress
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based
on normal levels of cost and activity and comprises cost of purchase and, where
applicable, cost of conversion to current condition. Cost of purchase includes
charges such as freight or duty where appropriate. Cost of conversion includes
direct labour, direct expenses and fixed and variable production overhead
expenditure.
Net realisable value comprises the actual or estimated selling price (net of
trade but before settlement discounts), less all further costs to completion,
and less all costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Work in progress is stated net of amounts taken to cost of sales under long term
contracts. The amount by which turnover exceeds a payment received on account is
included in debtors as amounts recoverable on long term contracts. Payments on
account in excess of work in progress are included in creditors as payments
received on account.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an
allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made
when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written
off when identified.
Net cash and cash equivalents
Net cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and
in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of less than three
months, reduced by overdrafts to the extent that there is a right of offset
against other cash balances.
For the purposes of the consolidated cashflow statement, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits as defined above net of
outstanding bank overdrafts.
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents net amounts receivable from outside customers for goods sold
by Group companies in the ordinary course of business and excluding value added
tax. Sales are recognised when the significant rewards of ownership of the goods
are transferred to the customer, the sales price agreed and the receipt of
payment can be assured.
Long-term contracts are recognised in revenue on the basis of the sales value of
work performed during the year by reference to expenditure to date as a
percentage of total expected costs to complete on a contract-by-contract basis.
Research and development
Research expenditure is written off as incurred.
Where development expenditure meets the criteria for capitalisation as set out
in IAS38 'Intangible Assets' the costs are capitalised and amortised over its
useful economic life from the date of commercial manufacture of the product. The
key eligibility criteria for capitalisation relate to:
• The identification of development costs. In general the Group's research
and development activities are closely interrelated and it is not until the
technical feasibility of a product can be determined with reasonable
certainty that development costs are separately identifiable; and
• The generation of future economic benefit. Intangible assets are not
recognised unless the resultant product is expected to generate future
economic benefit in excess of the amount capitalised.
If a product becomes unviable the deferred development costs are written off.
Deferred Taxation
Deferred corporation tax is provided, using the liability method, on all
temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in respect of all temporary differences
except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of
goodwill in business combinations.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,
carry-forward of unused tax assets and tax losses, to the extent that they are
regarded as recoverable. They are regarded as recoverable where, on the basis of
available evidence, there will be suitable taxable profits against which the
future reversal of the underlying temporary differences can be deducted. The
carrying value of the amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance
sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all, or part, of the tax
asset to be utilised.
Deferred corporation tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates
that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted at the balance sheet date.
Foreign Currencies
Trading results of overseas subsidiaries are translated into sterling at the
average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Their assets and
liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the year-end.
Exchange differences arising from restatement of the opening balance sheets and
trading results of overseas subsidiaries are dealt with through reserves.
Other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date and other
non-monetary assets at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the
transactions.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses forward foreign currency contracts to reduce its exposure to
foreign exchange rates. The Group has only applied IAS32 and IAS 39 from 1
January 2005 as permitted by the transition arrangements in IFRS1.
Pensions
Group employees are members of money purchase schemes where the obligations of
Group companies are charged to the profit and loss account as they are incurred.
Property Provisions
Provisions are made in respect of residual onerous long leasehold properties
where expected future rental costs are in excess of expected income from
subletting.
Share-based payments
The fair value of employee share plans is calculated using an option-pricing
model. In accordance with IFRS2 'Share-based payments' the resulting cost is
charged to the income statement over the vesting period of the plans. The value
of the charge is adjusted to reflect the expected and actual levels of options
vesting.
Employee Share Ownership Plan
The Group's Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a separately administered
trust. The Company guarantees liabilities of the ESOP, and the assets of the
ESOP mainly comprise shares in the Company. The assets, liabilities, income and
costs of the ESOP have been included in the consolidated financial statements.
Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability
in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are
approved by the Company's shareholders.
