Chairman's Statement
Overview
For almost all of the financial year to 30 November 2020, and
the period since, Synectics has operated in a global environment
the likes of which few of us could have imagined twelve months ago.
While the spread of the Group's commercial and government customers
provided some cushion, a number of our end markets have suffered
significant pandemic-related impacts, particularly global casinos
and gaming resorts. As a result, our consolidated revenues in the
year ended 30 November 2020 declined by 35% compared to 2019 and
the Group incurred both underlying losses and additional costs to
realign our expense base. These impacts, and the actions taken to
address them, also placed heavy personal and professional burdens
on Synectics' management team and staff.
Against that background, the Board is reassured and proud that
our people have both tackled the difficulties with energy and
commitment and demonstrated a real determination to maintain the
pace of delivering Synectics' core strategy in readiness to take
full advantage of the recovery when it comes.
As soon as the seriousness of the coronavirus situation became
apparent, the Board and senior management team took necessary
actions to secure the future of the Company, including:
-- protecting, as a first priority, the health and well-being of
the Company's staff and customers;
-- cutting discretionary operating and capital expenditure,
while preserving the recently increased levels of investment in
core product development and customer support;
-- maintaining employee posts through taking advantage of UK and
US government job support schemes;
-- agreeing voluntary salary and fee reductions with the senior
management team and the Board respectively;
-- suspending and subsequently cancelling dividend payments to
shareholders;
-- accelerating actions already underway to reorganise the
Company's Systems division into a global single business structure,
and to amalgamate the Group's UK security and on-vehicle
integration activities as Synectics Security; and
-- reducing headcount across the Group by 10%.
The Board believes that these actions struck the right balance
between protecting Synectics' short term financial position and
preserving investment in its intellectual property, people, skills,
and market positions.
In relation to that latter objective, I am pleased to report
that Synectics delivered excellent progress in its largest
strategic investment focus, the new Synergy surveillance command
and control platform for major urban transportation and
infrastructure hubs. Development of the innovative Berlin S-Bahn
project for Deutsche Bahn continued on time and on budget, despite
the virus constraints. The system successfully went live on the
S-Bahn network as planned on 1 January 2021, and we were delighted
to receive public accolades from the customer for that
achievement.
The importance of this initial implementation of the new version
of Synergy in Berlin was borne out by the recent award to Synectics
for a similarly innovative, cloud-based surveillance control system
in London.
These new Synergy systems are almost wholly software-based, so
will underpin the Group's objective of increasing earnings quality
through a higher gross margin business mix and an increasing
proportion of recurring revenue.
Following an obviously difficult year, the Board remains
convinced that Synectics is well placed to weather the remainder of
the current disruptions and to deliver on its core long term growth
objectives.
Results
For the year to 30 November 2020, Synectics' consolidated
revenue was GBP44.6 million (2019: GBP68.5 million). The underlying
loss before tax[1] was GBP(4.1) million (2019: profit GBP2.5
million).
During the year the Group provided GBP2.2 million for
non-underlying charges related principally to consolidating its
security integration and on-vehicle activities into a new single
business, Synectics Security, and restructuring the Systems
division. These charges are more fully described in note 4 below.
As a result, the loss before tax was GBP(6.3) million (2019: profit
GBP1.6 million). The underlying diluted loss per share was (17.2)p
(2019: 13.9p), and the diluted loss per share was (27.7)p (2019:
9.6p).
The tax credit in the year was GBP1.6 million (2019: GBP0.1
million) consisting largely of the recognition of tax losses
incurred in the year.
The impact on these results of foreign exchange movements during
the year was not material. Net cash at 30 November 2020 was GBP6.9
million[2] (2019: GBP3.6 million); net cash at 26 February 2021 was
GBP4.5 million. The Company has no bank debt and available undrawn
facilities of GBP3.0 million. This cash inflow across the year was
largely the result of reduced working capital requirements as
revenues declined, and is expected to reverse, at least in part,
once revenues start to recover.
The consolidated firm order book at 30 November 2020 was GBP25.4
million (2019: GBP32.7 million) around two thirds of which is
expected to be traded in FY 2021 with the balance largely long-term
service and support contracts. The order book at 26 February 2021
was GBP32.9 million.
Dividend
The Board is not recommending the payment of a final dividend.
Declaration and payment of the recommended final dividend of 3.5p
per share in respect of the financial year to 30 November 2019 were
suspended and subsequently cancelled in April 2020 when the
potential impact of the pandemic began to emerge. The Board intends
to reassess the restoration of dividends during this financial year
once the timing of recovery is clearer.
Business review
Synectics' business is to provide integrated electronic
surveillance systems and services to specialist high-end markets.
Our solutions are based on core proprietary technology, in
particular systems integration and command and control software.
This technology is adapted for the specific needs of our target
customer sectors and provides fundamental differentiation from
mainstream suppliers in the wider electronic security market.
During 2020, the Board accelerated actions already underway to
simplify the Group's organisation and management structure into
Synectic Systems and Synectics Security, and reduced its operating
cost base by an annual run rate of approximately GBP2.4 million
whilst preserving its capabilities and opportunities.
Systems division
Synectics' Systems division provides specialist electronic
surveillance systems, based on its own proprietary technology, to
global end customers with large-scale highly complex security
requirements, particularly for gaming, transport, critical
infrastructure, public space, and oil & gas applications.
Revenue GBP23.6 million (2019: GBP40.5 million)
Gross margin 40.8% (2019: 42.0%)
Operating (loss)/profit[3] GBP(1.8) million (2019: GBP4.7 million)
Operating margin (7.5)% (2019: 11.6%)
The Systems division has been reorganised to operate as a
single, global business. This represents the culmination of a
transition over several years towards a more efficient, and more
scalable, single Systems business unit, rather than the historical
sector-based, multi-business structure.
After four years of uninterrupted organic revenue growth, and a
like-for-like compound growth rate of operating profits over that
period of 25% per year, the Systems division was substantially
affected by the pandemic. This was particularly the case in its
largest sector, global casinos and gaming resorts, which was
effectively shut down for most of the year. High security and
public space sectors proved more resilient.
Gross margins held up well, partially due to government support
of direct labour costs in the UK and the US as well as the
Company's actions in controlling costs, but also as the result of a
higher proportion of software and services in the revenue mix in a
period which brought fewer deployments of new hardware.
Europe, Middle East and Africa (Revenue GBP13.6 million (2019:
GBP15.7 million))
Revenues held up comparatively well in EMEA, helped by the large
Deutsche Bahn S-Bahn project, but also the Company's greater
footprint within the region in transport, critical infrastructure,
and public space markets, which, as stated above, were generally
more resilient. The Deutsche Bahn system went live, on time and on
budget, on 1 January 2021 and deployment roll-out continues
throughout 2021.
The EMEA business also benefitted from:
-- additional software orders from a major UK national power
utility as it continues to roll out Synergy across its estate;
-- the development of a Synergy replacement system for an iconic London department store;
-- new systems and expansions of existing solutions for a number
of London boroughs and local authorities across the UK;
-- further work for Irish prisons and an extension of their support agreement;
-- a new oil & gas contract in Saudi Arabia announced on 16 June 2020; and
-- upgrades to the latest version of Synergy and new software
support contracts for a number of customers across markets, as they
recognise the value of keeping their systems updated and taking
advantage of the new features that are continuously being added to
the software platform.
North America (Revenue GBP2.4 million (2019: GBP7.2
million))
Synectics delivered significantly lower revenues in 2020 in
North America where its activities are almost exclusively in casino
/ gaming operations that were effectively shut down for most of the
year.
Two new projects were secured early in 2020, for new casino
properties in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Much of the remaining
business came from recurring revenue under software support
contracts, with most properties opting to renew their support
contracts even when remaining closed.
Plans announced this time last year to increase business
development resources in North America to cover a wider range of
the Group's products and capabilities beyond the casino / gaming
sector were put on hold when the pandemic started, as previously
announced in the Company's interim results on 14 July 2020. We will
re-activate this plan later in 2021, with new resources
particularly focused on the launch in North America of Synectics'
enhanced command and control capabilities for the transport and
critical infrastructure sectors.
Asia Pacific (Revenue GBP7.7 million (2019: GBP17.7
million))
Synectics' performance in the Asia Pacific region in 2020 was
heavily impacted by the closure of most of the gaming market during
the year and low levels of activity elsewhere.
In gaming, we were pleased to be able to sign a new five-year
support contract with a major integrated resort operator in
Singapore, as announced on 22 May 2020. We were encouraged to see
some small system expansion orders at the end of the year, but we
have yet to see a return to anything like normal levels of
activity.
In the oil & gas sector, we secured a new project for a
refinery in Vietnam early in the year. This was followed by
activity largely limited to systems maintenance, although a number
of operators did take the opportunity to upgrade their software to
the latest version of Synergy.
Technology development
Continued investment in our intellectual property and technology
base within the Systems division remains an important priority for
the Group. During the 2020 financial year, Synectics spent a total
of GBP4.0 million on technology development (2019: GBP3.8 million).
Of this total, GBP0.8 million was capitalised (2019: GBP0.8
million), and the remainder expensed to the Income Statement.
GBP0.4 million of previously capitalised development costs were
amortised in the year.
During the year, Synectics made significant strides in
developing the next generation of the Synergy software platform.
The Company released major new functionality, including a Work
force Management module and new mobile device applications,
enabling customers to connect centralised control rooms seamlessly
to field operations.
Further development of the Synergy cloud-based evidence
management solution has enabled customers to reduce the time and
cost of managing incidents across agencies and jurisdictions.
Importantly, Synergy's enhanced built-in cybersecurity capabilities
are deployable across the latest hybrid and multi-cloud
environments, offering secure, deep integrations with rapidly
evolving artificial intelligence-based innovations such as facial
recognition.
We have developed Synergy as a hybrid cloud platform. As a
result, customers can evolve to cloud solutions at a time and speed
that are right for them, without having to abandon the numerous
existing systems and devices across large areas that are essential
to their ongoing operations. Synergy has the flexibility to combine
cloud services with traditional IT infrastructure in a single
unified environment. The Board believes this is a winning formula
for the Company's markets and we are delighted that it played a
significant part in the securing of our recent major project award
in London. These expanded capabilities will increase Synectics'
capacity to address what we believe is a large and growing market
for similarly intelligent command and control systems.
Security division (formerly 'Integration & Managed
Services')
Synectics' Security division is a leading UK provider in the
design, integration, monitoring, and management of large-scale
electronic security systems for critical and regulated
environments. Its main markets are in critical infrastructure,
transport, and public space. Its capabilities include UK government
security-cleared personnel and facilities, nationwide project
delivery and service support, and an in-house 24-hour monitoring
centre and helpdesk. Synectics Security supplies proprietary
products and technology from Synectics' Systems division as well as
selected outside partners, and also provides highly-regarded
security monitoring and facilities management services.
Revenue GBP21.8 million (2019: GBP28.6 million)
Gross margin 24.6% (2019: 21.9%)
Operating loss[4] GBP(0.4) million (2019: GBP0.0 million)
Operating margin (1.8)% (2019: (0.1)%)
The planned consolidation of the operations of Synectics'
Integration and Managed Services division as reported in the
Company's interim results released on 14 July 2020 was completed in
the year. This consolidation included the closure or downsizing of
several operating sites, with a consequent reduction in costs and
sharpened focus on specialised and long-term customers for whom
Synectics can provide a valuable differentiated service. The new
combined business, Synectics Security, was launched to the market
in September 2020 and has been well received.
The new entity is well positioned to capitalise on the
opportunities we expect to shape the future of this market. Like
our Systems business, Synectics Security is focused on
opportunities where it can add significant value through tailored
solutions using its specialist knowledge and commitment to build
customer partnerships.
Pleasingly, gross margins were higher than in the prior year,
due principally to tighter cost control and an increased mix of
higher margin on-vehicle activity in the second half of the year,
including a number of large on-vehicle projects in the Republic of
Ireland.
The Company announced a new project with Irish Rail on 17
November 2020. This will see Synectics develop and install during
2021 an innovative, safety-critical IP video surveillance system
that enables full connectivity from trains to the engineering depot
and other operational locations. Once the initial implementation is
complete, it will be followed by a five-year in-territory
maintenance programme.
Other highlights during the year included:
-- a major systems upgrade for a government defence establishment, to be delivered in 2021;
-- a new control room for West Midlands Police; and
-- several new wins and upgrades for public space customers.
The newly formed Synectics Security business has excellent
partnerships across the solutions portfolio. These will enable the
team to develop beyond its traditional heartlands in public space
and transport to embrace new opportunities that utilise its
experience in complex, critical and highly regulated environments.
Increasingly, we see opportunities in more inter-connected urban
infrastructures where there is growing alignment between
transportation and large-scale security and surveillance
operations. Approaching these converged opportunities with the
right partners will enable us to reshape the business over the next
two to three years.
The changes we have made have been welcomed by customers and
partners and rebranding as Synectics Security has provided an
opportunity to reinvigorate market visibility of our integration
operations and build awareness of their enhanced business
proposition.
The Security division also includes our managed services
business, SSS. This business is due significant credit for its
sterling efforts to successfully provide uninterrupted security
monitoring and facilities management services throughout the year
to its customer base of UK companies with large multi-site estates.
SSS also secured new contracts, including a multi-site retailer and
a logistics company, as customers recognised the value of its
services in helping them to protect their estates in these
difficult times.
Strategy
Synectics' primary strategy remains to develop and capitalise on
market-leading positions within relevant sectors of the global
surveillance and security market where customers value
high-performance, sector-specific capability. We achieve cost
competitiveness and scalability in these markets by maintaining a
standard modular core technology engine which supports solutions
tailored as required for specific sectors and customers.
Significant technology development investment is focused on
expanding the range of capabilities of the core Synergy platform to
enable end-to-end control of the overall surveillance function and
resources in complex operating environments. To customers whose
other options would largely be based on bespoke development, the
Synectics alternative offers the flexibility and power they need,
but at lower cost and with substantially reduced risk.
People
It has been customary for me to use this opportunity to thank
Synectics' employees publicly, on behalf of the Board and
shareholders, for their efforts in the year under review. In the
wake of an extraordinarily taxing and disruptive year for everyone,
such customary thanks seem wholly inadequate to the quite
exceptional levels of commitment, flexibility, creativity, and
support for others demonstrated by our Synectics colleagues in
2020.
Against a background of high uncertainty, and where some hard
decisions on staffing levels were necessary, it was inspiring to
witness or hear told so many fine examples of the Company's culture
in action. To those heroes and heroines, sung and unsung, I offer
the Board's most sincere gratitude.
As another measure of the direct impact of our people on the
business, for the fifth year running the Company's independently
assessed metric of overall customer satisfaction has risen. The
Board attaches significant importance to the results of this annual
survey as a leading indicator of the Group's performance, and the
long-term success and sustainability of the business.
Outlook
At the time of writing, it appears that the success of available
vaccines against Covid-19 will lead the world back towards
normality during 2021. The timing, profile, and end point of that
process, however, remain highly uncertain.
The largest direct negative impact affecting Synectics currently
is the closure of, or lack of business in major casinos and gaming
resorts in the United States and the Far East, in turn driven by
travel and other restrictions on the public. We would expect
Synectics' business from its customers in that sector to recover in
a relatively straightforward manner once leisure travel in those
two core markets returns.
In each of the transport, infrastructure and oil & gas
sectors, the dynamics of recovery will be more complex, depending
on the available resources and priorities of the different
government, quasi-government, and commercial customers the Company
deals with. Some of these will continue to benefit from government
policy decisions to fund infrastructure spending to boost economic
recovery, while others may suffer from tightened budgets for some
time to come.
Trading in the first quarter of the current financial year
generally continued at the low levels experienced across 2020, with
lockdowns and travel restrictions still affecting both the volume
and sales cycle timing of new business. Recent contract wins, most
notably in the UK and Europe, have increased the Group's firm order
book by nearly 30% since the year end and there are some small
early signs of renewed activity in the gaming surveillance sector
in the United States and Asia. However, there remains obvious
substantial uncertainty as to the timing of macroeconomic
recovery.
The Board regularly reviews the balance between maintaining the
right level of investment in product development and customer
support, and vigilantly preserving the Group's financial resources.
Given Synectics' balance sheet strength, we regard the current
position as prudent, leaving the Company significantly geared to
the return towards normal business and well placed to capitalise
fully on its recent strategic contract successes once the recovery
is underway.

Notes
1 Basis of preparation
The information contained within this announcement has been
extracted from the audited financial statements which have been
prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in
conformity with the Companies Act 2006 ('adopted IFRS'), and with
those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies
reporting under adopted IFRS. They have been prepared using the
historical cost convention except where the measurement of balances
at fair value is required.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Directors have reviewed the Group's funding position and
financial forecasts for the foreseeable future. Based on all of the
work performed, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that
the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future without material
uncertainty.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following new standards became applicable for the current
reporting period and the Group changed its accounting policies and,
where applicable, made retrospective adjustments as a result of
adopting:
- IFRS 16 'Leases'
The impact of adoption of this standard is set out in note
10.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first
time in 2020, but do not have an impact on the consolidated
financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted
any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued
but are not yet effective.

-------------------------------------------------- -------- -------
Contract assets 8,185 7,933
Contract liabilities (4,295) (4,062)
-------------------------------------------------- -------- -------
Contract assets relate to revenue earned from ongoing projects.
As such, the balance of this account varies and depends on the
number of ongoing projects at the end of the year. The timing of
payment in respect of both contract assets and liabilities varies
depending on the nature and terms of each individual contract, with
payment sometimes being before and sometimes after satisfaction of
the corresponding performance obligations. No expected credit loss
has been recognised in relation to the contract asset as the
Group's historical experience shows that no credit losses have been
incurred.
Contract liabilities relate to short-term advances received to
deliver ongoing projects.
GBP4.1 million of the contract liabilities balance at 1 December
2019 was recognised as revenue during the year. No revenue was
recognised in the current year in relation to performance
obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied in previous
years.
Performance obligations
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance
obligations (unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied) as at 30
November 2020 that are expected to be recognised over more than one
year is GBP18.0 million (2019: GBP21.7 million). These performance
obligations relate predominantly to the provision of service and
maintenance contracts.
The Group has taken advantage of the practical expedient within
IFRS 15 not to disclose the amount of the remaining performance
obligations for contracts with original expected duration of less
than one year.

review of the cost base across the Systems division.
The Security restructuring costs incurred during 2020 relate to
the merger of Synectics Mobile Systems into Quadrant Security Group
(i.e. the formation of "Synectics Security"), along with a review
of the cost base across the whole Security division.
The Central restructuring costs incurred during 2020 relate to
the closure of the Group's Studley office and consolidation of Head
Office functions into Sheffield.
The accrual of costs associated with an ongoing buy-out of the
defined benefit pension scheme represent the estimated costs to be
incurred by the Group in order to wind up the scheme.
The provision for costs on settlement of a legal claim related
to an employment-related dispute in the US which was settled in
2020.

The Group's tax rate is sensitive to a geographic mix of profits
and reflects a combination of higher rates in the US and lower
rates in Singapore and Macau. The Group's effective tax rate in
2020 has been impacted by R&D tax relief and current year
losses, as well as an increase in the recognition of US net
operating losses as a result of the CARES Act.
Deferred tax assets of GBP2.3 million (2019: GBP1.2 million)
have been recognised in relation to legal entities which suffered a
tax loss in the current or preceding periods. The assets are
recognised based upon future taxable profit forecasts for the
entities concerned.
The Group has further losses which may be available to be
carried forward for offset against the future taxable profits of
certain Group companies amounting to approximately GBP6.2 million
(2019: GBP4.8 million). No deferred tax asset (2019: GBPnil) in
respect of these losses has been recognised at the year end as the
Group does not currently anticipate being able to offset these
against future profits.
6 Dividends
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend
(2019: GBPnil). No interim dividend was paid during 2020 (2019:
1.3p per share).

In 2019, a provision was made for the cost of settlement of a
legal claim relating to an employment-related dispute in the US.
This was settled during 2020.
Costs of warranty include the cost of labour, material and
related overhead necessary to repair a product during the warranty
period. The standard warranty periods are usually one to three
years. The Group accrues for the estimated cost of the warranty on
its products shipped in the provision for warranty, upon
recognition of the sale of the product. The costs are estimated
based on actual historical expenses incurred and on estimated
future expenses related to current sales, and are updated
periodically. Actual warranty costs are charged against the
provision for warranty.
The Group has certain properties where the Directors believe
that dilapidation costs may be incurred; therefore, appropriate
cost provisions have been made. It is anticipated that
substantially all of the property cost provision carried forward at
30 November 2020 will be utilised within a year.
The restructuring provision relates to the costs recognised in
relation to the Group's restructuring activities in the year (see
note 4) where the associated cash outflow has not yet occurred.
Provisions have been analysed between current and non-current as
follows:
2020 2019

10 Changes in accounting policies
IFRS 16 'Leases' - impact of adoption
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 'Leases' from 1 December 2019,
replacing IAS 17, using the modified retrospective approach.
IFRS 16 has introduced a single accounting model for lessees,
bringing all leases onto the balance sheet. As a result the Group,
as a lessee, has recognised right of use assets representing its
right to use leased assets, and lease liabilities representing its
obligation to make future payments under the terms of lease
contracts. The Group is not a lessor. The carrying amounts of right
of use assets and lease liabilities, included within property,
plant and equipment, are set out below.
The impact of adoption on the Group's retained earnings at 1
December 2019 is as follows:
Land Motor
and buildings vehicles Total
Right of use assets GBP000 GBP000 GBP000
---------------------------- -------------- ---------- -------
Balance at 1 December 2019 3,042 403 3,445
Balance at 30 November 2020 2,352 263 2,615
---------------------------- -------------- ---------- -------
Land Motor
and buildings vehicles Total
Lease liabilities GBP000 GBP000 GBP000
---------------------------- -------------- ---------- -------
Balance at 1 December 2019 2,996 398 3,394
Balance at 30 November 2020 2,527 263 2,790
---------------------------- -------------- ---------- -------
As a result of using the modified retrospective approach on
transition to IFRS 16, the Group realised no difference between the
carrying value of the right of use assets and lease liabilities in
retained earnings. The difference between the opening right of use
asset and lease liability relates to prepaid rent which is excluded
from the carrying value of the lease liability but included in the
value of the right of use asset. The impact on transition is shown
below:
1 December
2019
GBP000
----------------------------------------------------- ----------
Right of use assets presented in property, plant and
equipment 3,445
Lease liabilities (3,394)
------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Prepaid rent reclassified from prepayments to right
of use assets on transition 51
------------------------------------------------------- ----------
On transition, lease liabilities which were classified as
operating leases under IAS 17 were measured at the present value of
the remaining lease payments, discounted at an incremental
borrowing rate which reflects the characteristics of the underlying
lease, at the transition date of 1 December 2019. The weighted
average rate applied is 3.1% for land and buildings and 3.0% for
vehicles. Right of use assets are measured at an amount equal to
the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid rent at the date of
transition. IFRS 16 has been applied to all leases with an asset or
liability value greater than GBP5,000. For leases of low-value
assets and for certain short-life assets, the Group recognises the
lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. The table below reconciles
the Group's operating lease commitment at 30 November 2019, under
IAS 17, to the lease liability initially recognised under IFRS
16:
GBP000
------------------------------------------------------------ ------
Operating lease commitment at 30 November 2019 as disclosed
in the Group's consolidated financial statements 4,659
Impact of discounting using the incremental borrowing rate
at 1 December 2019 (780)
Recognition exemption for leases of low-value/short-life
assets (485)
-------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Lease liabilities recognised at 1 December 2019 3,394
-------------------------------------------------------------- ------
In relation to those leases under IFRS 16, the Group now
recognises depreciation and interest costs, instead of an operating
lease expense. During the year ended 30 November 2020, this
amounted to GBP1,084,000 of depreciation charges and GBP119,000 of
interest costs from these leases.
Had IAS 17 continued to be applied, the overall impact on the
Group Statement of Comprehensive Income would not have been
materially different. Prior to adoption of IFRS 16, the Group had
total outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments
under non-cancellable operating leases (IAS 17), which fell due as
follows:
2019
GBP000
------------------------- ------
Within one year 1,251
Within two to five years 2,132
Greater than five years 1,276
-------------------------- ------
4,659
------------------------- ------
11 Post balance sheet events
The decision was taken before the year end by the Board of
Trustees and approved by the plc Board of Directors to secure a
"buy-out" for all remaining defined benefit pension scheme
liabilities by an insurance company and to wind the scheme up.
After the year end, an insurance company has bought out the
liabilities which existed at the year end. The pension scheme was
valued at the year end on the basis of IFRIC 14 (13) as the Group
has the right to receive the full actuarial surplus as a refund. On
8 December 2020, when the agreement with the insurance company to
buy out the liabilities was signed, the actuarial valuation was
altered in line with IFRIC 14 (13) and the economic benefit
available as a refund was measured including the costs to the plan
of settling the plan liabilities in this way. This resulted in a
remeasurement loss of GBP1,325,000, net of GBP252,000 deferred tax,
which will be recognised in other comprehensive income in the
financial statements for the period ending 30 November 2021. The
Group agreed prior to the year end to meet the additional costs of
the wind-up, and therefore GBP150,000 was included in accruals at
the year end. This amount was charged to non-underlying costs.
