Dyson Group plc ("Dyson" or the "Group")
Update on Year End Accounts to 31 March 2009
In the process of finalising the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2009, the
Group has undertaken impairment reviews of all businesses which will result in
impairment provisions against the carrying value of goodwill, fixed assets, and
capitalised development costs in relation to certain businesses and provisions
against inventory, and other items. These are in addition to the annual
revaluations of its property portfolio and pension funds.
The revaluations of the property portfolio and pension funds have been
finalised, resulting in a reduction in the property valuation of GBP11.9 million
and an increase of GBP10.6 million in the pension scheme deficit.
All other impairment reviews are still in progress and will be finalised
shortly and are subject to audit.
As a result, the Directors' expectation is a total reduction in net asset value
of the Group from GBP38.1 million at 31 March 2008 to no more than GBP5 million
at 31 March 2009. There is no cash impact of the impairment.
Trading continues in line with management expectations as previously
announced.
Annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2009 are expected to be
announced on 31 July 2009.
