GUS PLC10 June 2005 10 June 2005 GUS plc Adoption of IFRS 2 GUS plc, the retail and business services group, has in the past prepared itsfinancial statements in accordance with UK Generally Accepted AccountingPrinciples (UK GAAP). Following a European Union Regulation issued on 19 July2002, GUS will be required to report its results in accordance withInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EuropeanCommission from 1 April 2005. The Transition Date to IFRS for GUS is 1 April2004, being the start of the period of comparative information. An explanation of the differences between UK GAAP and IFRS that are applicableto GUS will be released on 14 June 2005 and key differences between UK GAAP andIFRS will also be described in the 2005 Annual Report due for release on 20 June2005. GUS has elected to apply IFRS 2 "Share-based payment" to those share-basedpayments granted before 7 November 2002 but not vested at the Transition Date.IFRS 2 is only required to be applied to share-based payments granted after 7November 2002. However, the Group considers that retrospective applicationbefore this date provides a better indication of how past and future results areaffected in relation to the year-on-year level of grants. As required by IFRS 2,the fair values of grants made before 7 November 2002 must be disclosed beforeIFRS is formally adopted. Accordingly, the fair values of all grants that impactthe Group's financial results under IFRS for the year to 31 March 2005 are shownbelow.
