The change in fair value of derivative financial instrument relates to a forward foreign exchange contract to hedge advances in Australian dollars to a subsidiary company, the bulk of which were capitalised in September 2011. This was rolled into a replacement instrument on maturity in March 2012 and subsequently in March 2013. In September 2013 the contract was fully exited, resulting in the positive fair value adjustment of £970,000 in finance income above.



Interest expense on unwinding of discount relates to the notional interest on deferred acquisition consideration.

Exceptional administrative expenses are those that the directors consider are of such unusual size or nature that they are required to be separately disclosed to allow the user of the financial statements to understand the underlying performance of the Group, notwithstanding that such items may be recurring in nature. These are shown on the face of the income statement as exceptional administrative expenses.


Restructuring costs comprise redundancy costs of £0.3m (2013: £0.5m) and other restructuring costs of £0.7m (2013: £0.4m).
Interest on vendor liabilities comprises interest on late-paid sums to the vendors of Widnell Limited, now fully settled.
A requisition for a general meeting of shareholders, eventually held on 9 May 2013, was received in March 2013 and the costs were accordingly expensed in the year to 31 March 2013.
