('Speedy Hire' or 'the Group')
Restatement of Financial Information
Under International Financial Reporting Standards
Speedy Hire Plc has historically prepared its consolidated statements under UK
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). As a listed company in the
European Union, the Group is now required to report under International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with effect from 01 April 2005.
Accordingly the Group will prepare its 2005/06 interim and annual financial
statements under IFRS.
The Group has completed its assessment of the adjustments required to restate
the financial statements from UK GAAP to IFRS. The impact of these adjustments
on the two years ended 31 March 2005 is summarised in the table below.
Year ending 31 March 2005 Year ending 31 March 2004

Diluted pps 39.36 42.55 41.50 39.40
Key Impact Analysis
The most significant elements contributing to the changes in financial
information are:
• non-amortisation of goodwill
• dividends recognised only if they are approved before the balance sheet
date
• no discounting of deferred taxation is permitted
• changes in the valuation basis of share based payments
• the fair value of financial instruments being recognised on the balance
sheet
Non-amortisation of goodwill
Under UK GAAP, goodwill on acquisitions was capitalised and amortised. Under
IFRS 3, 'Business combinations', intangible assets identified on acquisition
must be capitalised and amortised annually, and goodwill is not systematically
amortised. Goodwill must be reviewed annually for impairment and intangibles on
a trigger event.
The Group has decided to apply the exception granted by IFRS 1 to goodwill on
business combinations acquired before the transition date of 01 April 2004.
This has the following impact:
• the value of goodwill relating to acquisitions prior to the transition
date is £4,988k and is frozen at that date;
• the acquisitions made in the financial year to 31 March 2005 have been
reviewed and restated for intangibles in accordance with IFRS 3. An
intangible asset of £116k has been identified only in relation to the four
year supply contract with Simons Construction, the goodwill has been
restated accordingly and will be amortised over the life of the contract.
The goodwill arising from other acquisitions is frozen on the balance sheet;
• the amortisation previously reported under UK GAAP for the year ended 31
March 2005 of £1,241k is reversed for the IFRS restatement;
• goodwill as at 31 March 2005 and 31 March 2004 has been reviewed for
impairment. The goodwill attached to the acquisitions of Chichester Plant
and St. Vincent Plant relates principally to supply contracts established as
part of those acquisitions which are now part way through; as such a
goodwill impairment charge of £621k in 2005 and £151k in 2004 has been
booked;
• there is no indication of impairment of any of the remaining goodwill;
• to date in 2005/06 significant intangibles have been identified on the
acquisitions of The Cabin Company and the internal hire division of MJ
Gleeson in the current year. In each case the intangible identified relates
to the sole supply contract established.
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 because the liability does not represent an obligation as
defined by IAS 37, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'.
The final dividend declared in June 2004 for the year ended 31 March 2004 of
£2,832k has been reversed in the opening balance sheet and charged to equity in
the year ended 31 March 2005. The final dividend accrued for the year ended 31
March 2005 of £3,401k has been reversed in the IFRS balance sheet and will be
charged in the year ending 31 March 2006.
Taxation
IAS 12, 'Income Taxes' requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities shall
not be discounted.
The discount of £1,839k applied to the deferred tax provision included in the
opening balance sheet has been reversed and charged to equity for the year ended
31 March 2004. The reduction in the discount of £266k for the year ended 31
March 2005 has been credited to the income statement in the period.
In addition the tax effect of each of the adjustments listed has been
incorporated into the restatement.
Share Based Payments
IFRS 2, 'Share-based Payments' requires that a charge for equity instruments
granted is recognised in the financial statements based upon their fair value at
the date of grant. The charge made is recognised evenly over the performance
period.
IFRS 1 allows measurement of this expense to be applied only to options granted
after 07 November 2002. As such the Group is required to make a charge for the
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) options granted in September 2004 and the all
employee SAYE Scheme introduced in December 2004. Under UK GAAP a charge was
made for the value of the LTIP options only.
The pre-tax credit arising from adoption of IFRS 2 on the Group's income
statement is £55k for the year ended 31 March 2005. This reflects the new
charge made for the SAYE scheme and a change in the valuation basis of the LTIP
options.
Financial Instruments
IAS 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' requires that all
derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair market value and that
changes to the fair value are charged to the income statement.
The net fair value of financial instruments at the opening balance sheet date
was £37k, this was credited to equity in the year ended 31 March 2004. The
decrease in the fair value of £21k for the year ended 31 March 2005 was charged
to the income statement in the period.
Presentation of Financial Statements
The format of the primary statements contained in the appendices to this
statement has been presented in accordance with IAS 1, 'Presentation of
Financial Statements', which is different to the UK GAAP equivalents. This
format and presentation may require modification as practice develops and in the
event that further guidance is issued.
These presentation changes have no effect on the result for the financial period
or on the net assets.
A full set of primary statements for each of 2004 and 2005 are included in
Appendices 2 and 3.
Segmental Reporting
IAS 14, 'Segmental Reporting' requires that results for individual business and
geographical segments are reported separately.
The primary segments reported by Speedy are the business segments; these are
Tool Hire, Equipment Hire and Central. This reflects the internal management
structure and reporting.
The secondary segments reported by Speedy are the geographical segments. At the
moment Speedy operates solely within the United Kingdom and therefore no
additional disclosure is required.
Selected segmental results for the year ended 31 March 2005 and comparatives for
31 March 2004 are included within Appendix 5.

Appendix 1
IFRS Accounting Policies
This section provides a summary of the Group's new accounting policies that have
changed under IFRS for the year ended 31 March 2005.
Basis of Accounting
This restated financial information has been prepared on the basis of all IFRS
and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are either, endorsed by the
EU and effective (or available for early adoption) as at 31 March 2006 or, are
expected to be endorsed and effective (or available for early adoption) as at 31
March 2006. Based on these adopted and unadopted IFRS, the directors have made
assumptions about the accounting policies expected to be applied when the first
annual IFRS accounts are prepared for the year ending 31 March 2006 (the first
annual IFRS accounts).
In addition, the adopted IFRS that will be effective (or available for early
adoption) in the first annual IFRS accounts are still subject to additional
interpretations and therefore cannot be determined with certainty.
Consequently, the restated financial information as presented may be subject to
change.
Accordingly, the accounting policies will be finally determined only when the
accounts are prepared for the year ending 31 March 2006.
Long Term Incentive Plan And Employee Share Scheme
In accordance with IFRS 2, a charge is recognised in respect of all share based
payments made to employees.
The charge for the Long Term Incentive Plan is based upon the fair value of
awards made and upon the expectation of the number of shares that will vest.
The charge for the Group's Inland Revenue approved share savings scheme is based
upon the fair value of the awards made at the date on which the options were
granted and upon managements best estimate of the vesting expectations. The
charge has been spread evenly over the performance period starting January 2005.
Taxation
Taxation is fully recognised in accordance with IAS 12.
The tax charge or credit included in the Income Statement comprises both current
and deferred tax. Current tax reflects the expected tax payable on the taxable
income for the year, using tax rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax reflects the movement in temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for tax purposes, and is provided at the tax rates that are
expected to apply when the liability is settled or the asset is realised.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, recognising
deferred tax liabilities in respect of all taxable temporary differences and
deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset against each other when they
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax jurisdiction.
Goodwill
The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration and associated costs over
the fair value of net assets including identifiable intangible assets (as
defined by IAS 38) at the date of acquisition of subsidiary undertakings and
businesses acquired after 31 March 2004 is capitalised in the year of
acquisition.
Goodwill is assumed to have an indefinite useful economic life and is not
amortised.
The carrying amount of the Group's goodwill is reviewed annually to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
the assets value is estimated and any impairment is charged in the year.
Intangible Assets
Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated
amortisation.
Amortisation is provided so as to write off the cost or valuation of the assets
over their expected useful economic lives, after taking account of estimated
residual values.
The useful economic lives are assessed on an asset by asset basis.
Assets held for sale
Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for resale are measured
at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets
are not depreciated.
Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
The principle derivative instruments used by the Group are interest rate swaps
and caps. Amounts payable or receivable in respect of interest rate swap or cap
transactions are recognised on an accruals basis until settlement date and are
treated as an adjustment to the interest expense over the period of the
contract.
All derivates are only held for hedging purposes.
The fair value of the Group's derivative financial instruments is recognised in
the balance sheet and changes in the fair value are included in the income
statement each period in accordance with IAS39.
