On April 12, 2001, the Registrant notified the London Stock Exchange
that it has filed a Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
which presents its results for the period ended 30 September 2000 under US
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US Gaap"). Application of US Gaap
requires the Building and Consumer Products Division to be treated as a
discontinued business, with corresponding adjustment of the US Gaap financial
statements. This requirement results from the decision to seek a buyer for the
Division.
UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("UK Gaap") do not require
such treatment. The effect on the US Gaap financial statements is that all
results of the Building and Consumer Products Division are reallocated to
"Income from Discontinued Operations" and all assets are reclassified as current
assets.
The disposal process is ongoing, and may or may not lead to an offer
acceptable to the Board of Directors.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
