Members are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy form which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions accompanies this notice. 2. To be valid any proxy form or other instrument appointing a proxy must be received by post, by scanned copy sent to proxies@goodwingroup.com or (during normal business hours only) by hand at Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 3NR no later than 10.30am on 9th October, 2012. 3. The return of a completed proxy form or other such instrument will not prevent a shareholder attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so. 4. Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a “Nominated Person”) may, under an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the Annual General Meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights. 5. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraphs 1 and 2 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company. 6. To be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes they may cast), shareholders must be registered in the Register of Members of the Company at 10.30am on 9th October, 2012 (or, in the event of any adjournment, 10.30am on the date which is two days before the time of the adjourned meeting). Changes to the Register of Members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting. 7. As at 26th July, 2012 (being the last business day prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company’s issued share capital consists of 7,200,000 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 26th July, 2012 are 7,200,000. 8. Shareholders should note that it is possible that, pursuant to requests made by shareholders of the Company under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company may be required to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of the Company’s accounts (including the auditor’s report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the Annual General Meeting; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of the Company ceasing to hold ofﬁce since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Companies Act 2006. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, it must forward the statement to the Company’s auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the Annual General Meeting includes any statement that the Company has been required under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 to publish on a website. 9. In order to facilitate voting by corporate representatives at the meeting, arrangements will be put in place at the meeting so that (i) if a corporate shareholder has appointed the chairman of the meeting as its corporate representative with instructions to vote on a poll in accordance with the directions of all of the other corporate representatives for that shareholder at the meeting, then on a poll those corporate representatives will give voting directions to the chairman and the chairman will vote (or withhold a vote) as corporate representative in accordance with those directions; and (ii) if more than one corporate representative for the same corporate shareholder attends the meeting but the corporate shareholder has not appointed the chairman of the meeting as its corporate representative, a designated corporate representative will be nominated, from those corporate representatives who attend, who will vote on a poll and the other corporate representatives will give voting directions to that designated corporate representative. Corporate shareholders are referred to the guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators on proxies and corporate representatives (www.icsa. org.uk) for further details of this procedure. The guidance includes a sample form of representation letter if the chairman is being appointed as described in (i) above. 10. None of the Directors have service contracts with the Company. 11. If approved by shareholders the ﬁnal dividend will be paid to shareholders on 15th October, 2012. 2 GOODWIN PLC CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT I am pleased to report that the pre-tax proﬁt for the Group for the twelve month period ending 30th April, 2012 was £12.3 million (2011: £8.1 million), an increase of 51% on a revenue of £107.9 million (2011: £92.9 million) which is up 16.15% on the ﬁgures reported for the same period last ﬁnancial year. The Directors propose a dividend of 32.082p (2011: 29.166p). The gross proﬁt earned of £30.8 million was higher by 21.3% than for the previous ﬁnancial year. This improvement in gross proﬁt and net pre-tax proﬁt earned stems from the recovery in performance of our two valve companies, especially Goodwin International. The foundry also reported record proﬁts. The Group order work load as at 30th April, 2012 was 22% higher than the same period last year and stood at £78 million which still represents about seven months work at higher levels of activity. The Group, whilst being diverse, still focuses much attention on the world wide energy industries be they oil and gas or high efﬁciency power generation. Both these two sectors by deﬁnition have a long term future as the world population continues to grow and attain higher living standards especially in the Paciﬁc Basin and also as the more mature markets strive to increase the efﬁciency of their power generation capacity and reduce their CO2 output into the atmosphere as well as replace ageing facilities. The decision to only increase the dividend by 10% to £2.31 million will assist the Company in being able to ﬁnance three signiﬁcant projects that will be started subject to approval of the grant applications that we have submitted. The ﬁrst grant application, which is to the Employer Ownership Pilot Fund, is to set up a much larger apprentice training school that will train 125 engineering apprentices to levels 3 and 4 over the next ﬁve years. The second application which is a Regional Growth Fund application is to expand the clean activity of the foundry on our adjacent 7.9 acre site as well as to start a new valve company and build four ofﬁce/factory units on the same site. The third application is for a CCS (Carbon Capture & Storage) grant where our foundry will develop further the manufacturing capability of two super nickel alloys for use in high temperature gas and steam turbines on which we will advise you further at the half year. As a key performance indicator, R & D continues within all group companies whether it is to reduce manufacturing cost or develop new products that we consider there is a signiﬁcant need for in the market over the next ten or more years. The Group considers the level of R & D expenditure sustainable and this year it comprised 7.5% of pre-tax proﬁts, appropriate for securing the long term growth of the group. As detailed in note 20, at 30th April, 2012 our capital base was £60 million, an increase of £3 million over the previous year, and the Group had unutilised bank facilities of £15 million. With Group activity levels likely to be signiﬁcantly higher this coming ﬁnancial year, gearing levels (currently at 33%) and cash ﬂow remains under pressure due to the need for increased levels of working capital to ﬁnance higher levels of debtors and work in progress as well as the funding needed for the three projects should they proceed. A decision will be taken in the second quarter as to whether the Group takes on additional lines of credit and maintains a safety buffer on our banking facilities or whether the increased working capital needs are funded from post tax proﬁts. The former route will be the more likely one. We are once again grateful to our UK and overseas employees for their hard work in improving the performance of the Group. 27th July, 2012 3 J. W.

If approved by shareholders, the ﬁnal dividend will be paid to shareholders on 15th October, 2012.

There have been no changes in the directors’ interests between 30th April, 2012 and 26th July, 2012. The Director retiring in accordance with the Articles is Mr. M. S. Goodwin who, being eligible, offers himself for re-election. No Director has a service agreement with the Company, nor any beneﬁcial interest in the share capital of any subsidiary undertaking. The Company does not have any share option schemes for employees or Directors. 4 Shareholdings The Company has been notiﬁed that as at 25th July, 2012, the following had an interest in 3% or more of the issued share capital of the Company: J. W. and R. S. Goodwin 2,040,631 shares (28.34%), J. W. and R. S. Goodwin 1,231,612 shares (17.11%). These shares are registered in the names of J. M Securities Limited and J. M. Securities (No. 3) Limited respectively. J. H. Ridley 524,615 shares (7.29%), Rulegale Nominees (JAMSCLT) 282,902 shares (3.93%), Mrs. P. Dean 236,500 shares (3.28%). Share capital The Company’s issued share capital comprises a single class of share capital which is divided into ordinary shares of 10p each. Information concerning the issued share capital in the Company is set out in note 19 to the ﬁnancial statements on page 34. All of the Company’s shares are ranked equally and the rights and obligations attaching to the Company’s shares are set out in the Company’s Articles of Association, copies of which can be obtained from Companies House in England and Wales or by writing to the Company Secretary. There are no restrictions on the voting rights of shares and there are no restrictions in their transfer other than: - Certain restrictions as may from time to time be imposed by laws and regulations (for example insider trading laws); and - Pursuant to the Model Code whereby Directors of the Company require approval to deal in the Company’s shares. Additionally, the Company is not aware of any agreements between shareholders of the Company that may result in restrictions on the transfer of ordinary shares or voting rights. The Directors have not been given the authority to issue or buy back the shares of the Company. Research and Development The Group continues to invest in research and development activities. Expenditure in the mechanical engineering division continued to be incurred during the year within Goodwin Steel Castings Limited on the production of nickel alloy castings for the next generation of heat efﬁcient power stations. In the refractories engineering division, investment continues to be made in vermiculite dispersions, high performance recipes, silicon rubber, moulding powder and wax products. Carbon Reduction Commitment The Group has declared its CRC statistics to March 2012 which show a 4.6% increase in CO2 year on year and a 4% improvement in the tonnes of CO2 per million pounds sales turnover. Goodwin Steel Castings Limited has a Climate Change Levy Agreement, the requirements of which it satisﬁes and under which it claims the allowable Climate Change Levy relief. All projects are assessed for energy efﬁciency. The Chairman is responsible for collation and monitoring under the CRC and the Group’s engineers together with the business unit General Managers are tasked with saving energy. To put a true and balanced perspective on the Group’s CO2 impact on the environment, consideration should be given to the beneﬁts of the very much reduced CO2 emission levels of the modern turbines and power generation equipment into which our manufactured products are incorporated. This would show the annual savings in CO2 many times outweigh the environmental burden imposed at the manufacturing stage. Risks and Uncertainties The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including: Market risk: The Group provides a range of products and services, and there is a risk that the demand for these services will vary from time to time because of competitor action or economic cycles. As shown in Note 2 to the ﬁnancial statements, the Group operates across a range of geographical regions, and its turnover is split across the UK, Europe, North America, the Paciﬁc Basin and the rest of the world. This spread reduces risk in any one territory. Similarly, the Group operates in both mechanical engineering and refractory engineering sectors, mitigating the risk of a downturn in any one product area. The potential risk of the loss of any key customer is limited as, typically, no single customer accounts for more than 10% of turnover. Technical risk: The Group develops and launches new products as part of its strategy to enhance the long-term value of the Group. Such development projects carry business risks, including reputational risk, abortive expenditure and potential customer claims which may have a material impact on the Group. The potential risk here is seen as small given the Group is developing products in areas in which it is knowledgeable and new products are extensively tested prior to their release into the market. Health and safety: The Group’s operations involve the typical health and safety hazards inherent in manufacturing and business operations. The Group is subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to health and safety around the world. Hazards are managed by carrying out risk assessments and introducing appropriate controls. Acquisitions: The Group’s growth plan over recent years has included a number of acquisitions. There is the risk that these, or future acquisitions, fail to provide the planned value. This risk is mitigated through extensive ﬁnancial and technical due diligence during the acquisition process and the Group’s knowledge of the markets they operate in. Financial risk: The principal ﬁnancial risks faced by the Group are changes in market prices (interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices), credit risks and liquidity. The Group has in place risk management policies that seek to limit the adverse effects on the ﬁnancial performance of the Group by using various instruments and techniques, including credit insurance, stage payments, forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate caps and swaps. Further information on the ﬁnancial risk management objectives and policies is set out in Note 20 to the ﬁnancial statements on page 34. This report contains forward-looking statements and information based on current expectations, and assumptions and forecasts made by the Group. These expectations and assumptions are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to substantial differences between the actual future results, ﬁnancial performance and the estimates and historical results given in this report. Many of these factors are outside the Group’s control. The Group accepts no liability to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements or adjust them to future events or developments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. 5 Donations The Company made no political contributions during the year. Donations by the Group for charitable purposes amounted to £57,562 (2011: £23,000). Employee consultation The Group takes seriously its responsibilities to employees and, as a policy, provides employees systematically with information on matters of concern to them. It is also the policy of the Group to consult where appropriate, on an annual basis, with employees or their representatives so that their views may be taken into account in making decisions likely to affect their interests. Employment of disabled persons The policy of the Group is to offer the same opportunity to disabled people, and those who become disabled, as to all others in respect of recruitment and career advancement, provided their disability does not prevent them from carrying out the duties required of them. Creditor payment policy The Company has not adopted any formal code or standards on supplier payment practice. The Company’s policy is to settle payments having negotiated and advised terms and conditions with suppliers on a contract by contract basis. The Company has no trade creditors at 30th April, 2012 (2011: Nil). Disclosure of information to auditors The Directors who held ofﬁce at the date of approval of this Directors’ Report conﬁrm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditors are unaware; and each Director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a Director to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditors are aware of that information. Change in control The Group’s committed term loan facilities include a change of control clause, which states that a change of control of the parent company will be classed as an event of default and would enable the providers at their discretion to withdraw the facilities. Corporate governance Introduction The Board has always felt that it should be recognised that what may be appropriate for the larger company may not necessarily be so for the smaller company, a point raised previously in the Cadbury Code of Best Practice. The Board continues to be conscious of its non-compliance with certain aspects of the revised Code, as detailed below, but does not believe that at this stage in the Group’s development and circumstances it is appropriate to change its own operational or governance structure just to gain compliance. As before, where it does not comply, the Board is happy to provide its explanations for not doing so on the basis that it believes that such non-compliance is more appropriate to the shareholders’ and other stakeholders’ long term interests. Compliance statement The Company is required to report on compliance with the detailed requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code (formerly the Combined Code) throughout the year. In relation to all of the provisions except those mentioned here the Company complied throughout the period. Further details on all areas are given below. The Group does not comply with aspects of the Code’s requirements paragraphs A4, B1, B2, C3 and D2 in terms of non-executive Directors and the requirement for an Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee, Nominations Committee and Senior Independent Director. The roles of the Chairman in running the Board and the Managing Director in running the Group’s businesses are well understood. It is not considered necessary to have written job descriptions. This is contrary to paragraph A2.1. The Chairman and Managing Director do not retire by rotation, which is contrary to paragraph B7 of the Code. There is no formal schedule of matters reserved for the Board, which is contrary to paragraph A1.1. The internal audit function was established during the previous year and since that date the Company has been working towards compliance with C3.5. The Board The Board, which comprises seven Executive Directors, meets formally by itself and with subsidiary Directors on a regular basis. In view of the Group’s present size and proven track record, non-executive directors are not thought to be appropriate, due to the cost likely to be involved and the lack of opportunity for adding signiﬁcant value to the business. The Chairman and Managing Director do not retire by rotation. With this exception, all Directors retire at the ﬁrst AGM after their initial appointment and then by rotation at least every three years. During the year, the Board met formally thirteen times. Details of attendees at these meetings are set out below: 13 out of 13 attended 12 out of 13 attended 13 out of 13 attended 12 out of 13 attended 13 out of 13 attended 12 out of 13 attended 13 out of 13 attended J. W. Goodwin R. S. Goodwin J. Connolly ... F. A. Gaffney ... M. S. Goodwin A. J. Baylay ... S. R. Goodwin ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Regular informal meetings are also held to enable all members of the Board to discuss relevant issues with local management and staff at the business units. The Board retains full responsibility for the direction and control of the Group and, whilst there is no formal schedule of matters reserved for the Board, all acquisitions and disposals of assets, investments and material capital-related projects are, as a matter of course, speciﬁcally reserved for Board decision. 6 Board evaluation The Chairman and Managing Director address the development and training needs of the Board as a whole. An evaluation of the effectiveness and performance of the Board and the subsidiary Directors has been carried out by the Chairman and Managing Director, by way of personal discussions and individual performance evaluation against ﬁnancial targets. All Directors have reasonable access to the Company Secretary and to independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. Board Committees The Board has not operated a separate Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee or Nomination Committee during the year due to its size and composition. However, the Board as a whole has fulﬁlled many of the roles speciﬁed in the revised UK Corporate Governance Code (formerly the Combined Code) for these sub-committees including: (cid:115)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:77)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:108)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:73)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:67)(cid:73)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:27) (cid:115)(cid:0)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:75)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:13)(cid:65)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:12)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:77)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:65)(cid:71)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:69)(cid:88)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0) auditors; (cid:115)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:69)(cid:88)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:7)(cid:0)(cid:87)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:75)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:12)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:12)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:74)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:89)(cid:27) (cid:115)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:83)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:87)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:75)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:27) (cid:115)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:104)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:13)(cid:66)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:118)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:14) Internal control The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control (including operational, ﬁnancial, compliance and risk management controls), which is designed to manage rather than eliminate risk and provides only reasonable reassurance against material misstatement or loss. Except as noted in this Corporate Governance report, the Board conﬁrms that the system of internal control accords with the UK Corporate Governance Code (formerly the Combined Code). The Board meets with an agenda to discuss corporate strategy, to formulate and monitor the progress of business plans for all subsidiaries and to identify, evaluate and manage the business risks faced. The management philosophy of the Group is to operate its subsidiaries on an autonomous basis, subject to overall supervision and evaluation by the Board, with formally deﬁned areas of responsibility and delegation of authority. The Group has put in place formal lines of reporting with subsidiary management meeting with the Directors on a regular basis. The Board considers that the close involvement of the Company’s Directors in all areas of the day-to-day operations of the Group’s business represents the most effective ongoing control over its ﬁnancial and business risks. In particular, authority is limited to the Company Directors in key risk areas such as treasury management, capital expenditure and other investment decisions. The Directors annually review the effectiveness of the internal ﬁnancial control system including considering reports from management; discussions with senior personnel throughout the Group; and consideration by the Board of any reports from the external auditor. These procedures have been in place throughout the year and up to the date of this report and accord with the FRC ‘Internal Control: Guidance for Directors on the UK Corporate Governance Code’ (formerly the Combined Code). Given the close involvement of the Company’s Directors in the operation of the business, the Board does not currently consider that a formal review of non-ﬁnancial controls would provide any additional beneﬁt in their review of the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls. During the previous year the Group set up an internal audit function and recruited a Group Internal Auditor. The Group’s executive Directors and senior management will continue to have close involvement on a day-to-day operational basis and the scope and results of internal audit work to be performed will be kept under review in the coming year. Directors’ remuneration The remuneration of the Directors is considered by the Board so that no Director determines his own salary. Details of each element of the Directors’ remuneration are given in the Directors’ Remuneration Report on pages 9 and 10. External audit The external auditor is appointed annually at the Annual General Meeting. The Board considers the re-appointment of the auditor, and assesses on an annual basis the qualiﬁcation, expertise, cost, independence and objectivity of the external auditor. In addition, the Board regularly monitors the level of non-audit services provided to the Group by the external auditor to ensure that their independence is not compromised. Shareholder relations All shareholders are encouraged to participate in the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The Board complies with the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code (formerly the Combined Code) that the notice of the Annual General Meeting and related papers should be sent to shareholders at least twenty working days before the meeting. The Directors attend the Annual General Meeting. The Chairman will be available to answer questions at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. In addition, proxy votes will be counted and the results announced after any vote on a show of hands. The Chairman ensures that the views of shareholders are communicated to the Board as a whole, ensuring that Directors develop an understanding of the view of major shareholders. Going concern With the recovery in proﬁtability of the Group over the past twelve months coupled with a record level work load, the Company at present is managing to successfully circumnavigate the continuing global economic conditions mainly because of the Group’s diversiﬁcation in product and global sales outlets. Whilst good proﬁtability is expected to 7 Going concern (continued) continue for the next twelve months, there will remain pressure on cash ﬂow due to increased levels of activity and the start up of project activity as mentioned in the Chairman’s Statement should grant approval be gained. The Group, however, has considerable access to ﬁnancial resources with banks with whom the Company has a good and stable relationship and as such should additional ﬁnance be needed, raising it is not considered to be a problem by the Directors especially as the Government has opened up to companies with turnover greater than £50 million its low cost “National Loan Guarantee Scheme” which is designed to support companies such as ours. As a consequence, after making enquiries the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the ﬁnancial statements. Auditors In accordance with Section 489 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting for the re-appointment of KPMG Audit Plc as auditors of the Company. Approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf by: J. W. GOODWIN Chairman Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 3NR 27th July, 2012 8 GOODWIN PLC DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT Introduction This report is submitted in accordance with the Directors’ Remuneration Report Regulations. Consideration by the Directors of matters relating to Directors’ remuneration The remuneration policy is set by the Board as a whole and is described below. Remuneration policy The Group’s policy in respect of Directors’ remuneration for the forthcoming years is to provide individual packages which are determined having due regard to the Company’s current and projected proﬁtability, the employee’s speciﬁc areas of responsibility and performance, their related knowledge and experience in the Company’s speciﬁc ﬁelds of operation, the external labour market and their personal circumstances whereby the Board sets a package to remunerate and motivate the individual so as to best serve the Company. All Board members have access to independent advice when considered appropriate. In forming its policy, the Board has given full consideration to the UK Corporate Governance Code (formerly the Combined Code) best practice provisions on remuneration policy, service contracts and compensation and has considered the remuneration levels of Directors of comparative companies. The Board does not, at present, consider it necessary to include a performance related element within the remuneration of individual Directors. Service contracts None of the Directors has a service contract, a Director may resign at any time by notice in writing to the Board. There are no set minimum notice periods but all Directors other than the Chairman and Managing Director are subject to retirement by rotation. No compensation is payable to Directors on leaving ofﬁce.

GOODWIN Director 10 STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE ANNUAL REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group and parent Company ﬁnancial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and parent Company ﬁnancial statements for each ﬁnancial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the Group ﬁnancial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law and have elected to prepare the parent Company ﬁnancial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable UK law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Under company law the Directors must not approve the ﬁnancial statements unless they are satisﬁed that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and parent Company and of their proﬁt or loss for that period.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufﬁcient to show and explain the parent Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the ﬁnancial position of the parent Company and enable them to ensure that its ﬁnancial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and ﬁnancial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of ﬁnancial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for preparing a Directors’ Report, Directors’ Remuneration Report and Corporate Governance Statement that comply with that law and those regulations. Responsibility statements of the Directors in respect of the annual ﬁnancial report We conﬁrm that to the best of our knowledge: a) the ﬁnancial statements, prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, ﬁnancial position and proﬁt of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and b) the Directors’ Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and position of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.

Accounting policies Goodwin PLC (the “Company”) is incorporated in the UK. The Group ﬁnancial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and equity account the Group’s interest in associates. The parent Company ﬁnancial statements present information about the Company as a separate entity and not about its Group. The Group ﬁnancial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“Adopted IFRSs”). The Company has elected to prepare its parent Company ﬁnancial statements in accordance with UK GAAP; these are presented on pages 44 to 48. The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Group ﬁnancial statements. Judgements made by the Directors, in the application of these accounting policies that have signiﬁcant effect on the ﬁnancial statements and estimates with a signiﬁcant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 26. With the recovery in proﬁtability of the Group over the past twelve months coupled with a record level work load, the Company at present is managing to successfully circumnavigate the continuing global economic conditions mainly because of the Group’s diversiﬁcation in product and global sales outlets. Whilst good proﬁtability is expected to continue for the next twelve months, there will remain pressure on cash ﬂow due to increased levels of activity and the start up of project activity as mentioned in the Chairman’s Statement should grant approval be gained. The Group, however, has considerable access to ﬁnancial resources with banks with whom the Company has a good and stable relationship and as such should additional ﬁnance be needed, raising it is not considered to be a problem by the Directors especially as the Government has opened up to companies with turnover greater than £50 million its low cost “National Loan Guarantee Scheme” which is designed to support companies such as ours. As a consequence, after making enquiries the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the ﬁnancial statements. New IFRS standards and interpretations adopted during 2012 In the current ﬁnancial year, the Group has adopted the following new standards and interpretations: (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:41)(cid:33)(cid:51)(cid:0)(cid:18)(cid:20)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:50)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:9)(cid:0)(cid:13)(cid:0)(cid:50)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:84)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:52)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:17)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:42)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:12)(cid:0) 2011) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:33)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:41)(cid:77)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:74)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)(cid:41)(cid:38)(cid:50)(cid:51)(cid:7)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:45)(cid:65)(cid:89)(cid:12)(cid:0)(cid:18)(cid:16)(cid:17)(cid:16)(cid:9) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:33)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)(cid:41)(cid:33)(cid:51)(cid:0)(cid:17)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:69)(cid:81)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0) on or after 1st January, 2011) These changes have had no material impact on the accounts for the year to 30th April, 2012. Measurement convention The ﬁnancial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds. The ﬁnancial statements are based on the historical cost basis except where the measurement of balances at fair value is required as below. Prior year adjustment - Change in treatment of intangible assets and deferred taxation Following discussions with the Financial Reporting Review Panel, the Group has reviewed its accounting treatment of intangibles. This has resulted in the Group now recognising deferred taxation liabilities on intangible assets arising on acquisitions in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”, including intangible assets acquired in previous years which has resulted in a prior year adjustment. The Group has also taken the opportunity to review its measurement of intangible assets in foreign currency acquisitions. In previous years, the measurement of intangible assets on acquisitions was initially recognised at the sterling equivalent using the exchange rate at the time of the original transaction but then continued to be measured using that original exchange rate. The intangible assets on acquisitions are now being measured to the sterling equivalent at each balance sheet date using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. This correction has also resulted in a prior year adjustment. The effect of these prior year adjustments has been to increase net assets by £1,138,000 at 30th April, 2010 and by £1,345,000 at 30th April, 2011. The effect on proﬁt and loss reserves has been to increase proﬁt and loss reserves at 30th April, 2010 by £122,000, and increase reported proﬁt for 2011 by £36,000, being additional amortisation of intangible assets of £57,000, and a decrease in the deferred tax charge by £93,000. The earnings per share for the year ended 30th April, 2011 has been restated from 50.39p to 50.89p. 18 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Prior year adjustment - Change in treatment of intangible assets and deferred taxation (continued) Effect of prior year adjustments on previously reported balance sheets *Goodwill) *) *due to) *) additional) *) *) deferred tax) £’000) *) Foreign) exchange) £’000) ) Amorti-) sation in) income) £’000) ) Deferred) tax in) income) £’000) At 30th April, 2010 Intangible assets Deferred taxation ... ...

These disclosure adjustments had no effect on income, total equity or net assets. Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the ﬁnancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain beneﬁts from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The ﬁnancial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Associates are those entities in which the Group has signiﬁcant inﬂuence, but not control, over the ﬁnancial and operating policies. Signiﬁcant inﬂuence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investment includes goodwill identiﬁed on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated ﬁnancial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised income and expense and equity movements of equity accounted investees, from the date that signiﬁcant inﬂuence commences until the date that signiﬁcant inﬂuence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an investee. 19 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement within operating proﬁt. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to sterling at foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated at an average rate for the period where this rate approximates to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising from this translation of foreign operations are taken directly to the translation reserve. They are released into the income statement upon disposal of the foreign operation. The Group has taken advantage of relief available in IFRS 1 to deem the cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations to be zero at the date of transition to IFRS (1st May, 2006). Financial instruments Financial assets and ﬁnancial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The principal ﬁnancial assets and liabilities of the Group are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand including cash deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the statement of cash ﬂows. Trade receivables Trade receivables do not carry interest and are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at their amortised cost using the effective interest method where material as reduced by allowances for impairment when there is objective evidence of impairment. A provision for impairment is established when the carrying value of the receivable exceeds the present value of the future cash ﬂow discounted using the original effective interest rate. The carrying value of the receivable is reduced through the use of an impairment account and any impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Recognition and valuation of equity instruments Equity instruments are stated at par value. For ordinary share capital, the par value is recognised in share capital and the premium in the share premium reserve. Recognition and valuation of ﬁnancial liabilities Financial liabilities are classiﬁed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Bank borrowings Interest bearing bank loans and overdrafts are initially recorded at their fair value less attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently carried at their amortised cost and ﬁnance charges are recognised in the income statement over the term of the instrument using an effective rate of interest. Bank overdrafts that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the statement of cash ﬂows. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method where material. Derivative ﬁnancial instruments and hedging Derivative ﬁnancial instruments Derivative ﬁnancial instruments are recognised at fair value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is equal to the present value of the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract. For derivatives that do not form part of a designated hedge relationship, the gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in proﬁt or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (see below). 20 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Derivative ﬁnancial instruments and hedging (continued) Cash ﬂow hedges Where a derivative ﬁnancial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash ﬂows of a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction, the effective part of any gain or loss on the derivative ﬁnancial instrument is recognised directly in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is recognised immediately in the income statement. For cash ﬂow hedges, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects proﬁt or loss. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the entity revokes designation of the hedge relationship but the hedged forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is recognised in accordance with the above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative unrealised gain or loss recognised in equity is recognised in the income statement immediately. When the forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-ﬁnancial asset or non-ﬁnancial liability, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from the hedging reserve and is included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-ﬁnancial asset or liability. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are classiﬁed as ﬁnance leases. Where land and buildings are held under ﬁnance leases the accounting treatment of the land is considered separately from that of the buildings. Leased assets acquired by way of ﬁnance lease are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Lease payments are accounted for as described below. Depreciation is charged to the income statement over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment on the following bases: ... Freehold Land ... ... Freehold buildings Leasehold property ... Plant and machinery ... ... Tooling ... Fixtures and ﬁttings ... Assets under the course of construction are not depreciated. 2% on cost over period of lease 10% to 25% on reducing balance or cost 15% or 25% on reducing balance over estimated production life 15% to 25% on reducing balance ...

Intangible assets and goodwill All business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of businesses. In respect of business acquisitions that have occurred since 1st May, 2006, goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identiﬁable assets and contingent liabilities acquired. For acquisitions prior to the adoption of Revised IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (1st May, 2010), cost includes directly attributable acquisition costs. For acquisitions after this date, such costs are charged to the income statement. Identiﬁable intangibles are those which can be sold separately or which arise from legal rights regardless of whether those rights are separable. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment. In respect of acquisitions prior to 1st May, 2006, goodwill is included at transition date on the basis of its deemed cost, which represents the amount recorded under UK GAAP which was broadly comparable save that only separable intangibles were recognised and goodwill was amortised. On transition, amortisation of goodwill has ceased as required by IFRS 1. Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised immediately in proﬁt or loss. Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufﬁcient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Intangible assets and goodwill (continued) Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indeﬁnite. Intangible assets with an indeﬁnite useful life and goodwill are systematically tested for impairment at each balance sheet date. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:35)(cid:65)(cid:80)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:80)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:45)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:34)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:54)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:75)(cid:0) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:36)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:21)(cid:0)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:83) (cid:22)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:21)(cid:0)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:83) (cid:19)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:21)(cid:0)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:83) (cid:17)(cid:0)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:82) (cid:18)(cid:21)(cid:0)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:83) (cid:0) (cid:0) (cid:0) (cid:0) (cid:0) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the ﬁrst-in, ﬁrst-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. Put option in respect of a minority interest in a subsidiary Where the Group has, through a put option, an obligation to purchase shares in a subsidiary from a minority interest, a ﬁnancial liability is recognised for the present value of the estimated consideration payable under the put option and the minority interest is not recognised. For acquisitions made prior to the adoption of Revised IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (1st May, 2010) at each reporting date, changes in the carrying amount of the liability arising from variations in the estimated fair value of the purchase consideration (excluding the effect of the unwinding of the discount, which is accounted for as a ﬁnancial expense) are recognised by adjusting the carrying amount of the goodwill recognised on initial recognition of the business combination. For acquisitions after adoption of Revised IFRS 3, any changes in the liability are recognised in the income statement. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. For goodwill, assets that have an indeﬁnite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated ﬁrst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis. A cash generating unit is the smallest identiﬁable group of assets that generates cash inﬂows that are largely independent of the cash inﬂows from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill, assets that have an indeﬁnite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use were tested for impairment as at 1st May, 2006, the date of transition to Adopted IFRSs, even though no indication of impairment existed. Reversals of impairment An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Provisions A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outﬂow of economic beneﬁts will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash ﬂows at a pre-tax rate that reﬂects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks speciﬁc to the liability. Warranty provisions The Group carries a warranty provision with respect to one of its product lines. The warranties are negotiated at contract placement stage and typically where given to a customer the warranty has a duration of between 2 and 4 years. At the expiry of the warranty period, the warranty provision is then released back into proﬁt and loss. 22 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Revenue Revenue represents the amounts (excluding value added taxes and other sales taxes) derived from the provision of goods and services to external customers. Revenue is recognised at the time the principal risks and rewards transfer to the customer typically being either shipment or customer acceptance. Expenses Operating lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. Finance lease payments Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the ﬁnance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The ﬁnance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Financial expenses Financial expenses comprise interest payable and interest on ﬁnance leases. Interest income and interest payable is recognised in proﬁt or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Pension costs The Group contributes to a number of deﬁned contribution pension schemes for certain senior employees. The assets of these schemes are held in independently administered funds. Group pension costs are charged to income statement in the year for which contributions are paid. There were no outstanding or prepaid contributions at either the beginning or end of the ﬁnancial year. Taxation Tax on the proﬁt or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for ﬁnancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable proﬁt other than in a business combination, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable proﬁts will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Adopted IFRS not yet applied The following Adopted IFRSs have been issued but have not been applied by the Group in these ﬁnancial statements: New standards/interpretations not adopted (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:33)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)(cid:41)(cid:33)(cid:51)(cid:0)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:0)(cid:110)(cid:0)(cid:36)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:88)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:0) beginning on or after 1st January, 2012) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:33)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)(cid:41)(cid:33)(cid:51)(cid:0)(cid:17)(cid:0)(cid:110)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0) on or after 1st July, 2012) In addition to the above, amendments to a number of standards and interpretations under the 2011 annual improvement project will become mandatory for the year ending 30th April, 2013. The Group has considered the impact of these new standards and interpretations in future periods on proﬁt, earnings per share and net assets. None of the above standards or interpretations are expected to have a material impact. 23 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. Segmental information Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues For the purposes of management reporting to the chief operating decision maker, the Group is organised into two reportable operating divisions: mechanical engineering and refractory engineering. Financial information for each operating division is also available in a disaggregated form in line with the identiﬁed cash generating units. Segment assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to segments as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8 the Group’s reportable segments, based on information reported to the Group’s Board of Directors for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance are as follows: (cid:0) (cid:0) (cid:110)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:12)(cid:0)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:71)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:71)(cid:78) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:45)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:37)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0) (cid:110)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:77)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71) (cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:50)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:37)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0) Information regarding the Group’s operating segments is reported below.

The £548,000 of additions to goodwill in the current year relates to £35,000 increased interest in Noreva GmbH by virtue of a minority dividend paid, and £513,000 in respect of a revision to the contingent deferred consideration for Noreva GmbH. The £277,000 of goodwill on acquisitions relates to £218,000 on the acquisition of Sandersﬁre International Limited and £59,000 on the acquisition of JSR Technology Limited (see note 25). The reduction in goodwill in the prior year of £832,000 relates to a revision in the amount assessed as payable with respect to the Group’s deferred purchase liabilities, and the £35,000 of additions to goodwill in the prior year relates to increased interest in Noreva GmbH by virtue of a minority dividend paid. The £678,000 and £17,000 of additions to brand names and order book in the current year relates to the acquisition of Sandersﬁre International Limited and JSR Technology Limited. The £674,000 of additions in the prior year includes £632,000 for the right to distribute and sell vermiculite, £17,000 for a patent for a new manufacturing process for large super nickel castings, and goodwill of £25,000. Amortisation charge The amortisation charge of £715,000 (2011: £535,000 restated see note 1) is recognised in cost of sales in the income statement. 29 10. Intangible assets (continued) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Impairment testing for cash generating units containing goodwill The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the relevant subsidiary which is the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each unit are: ... ... Easat Antennas Limited ... Goodwin India Private Limited Noreva GmbH ...

Recoverable amount is the greater of value-in-use and market value. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value an impairment results. During the year each CGU containing goodwill was separately assessed and tested for impairment. No impairment of the carrying value of goodwill was indicated by this review. As part of testing goodwill for impairment detailed forecasts of operating cash ﬂows for the next ﬁve years are used, which are based on approved budgets and plans by the Board. The forecasts represent the best estimate of future performance of the CGU based on past performance and expectations for the market development of the CGU. A number of key assumptions are used as part of impairment testing. These key assumptions such as the CGU’s position within its relevant market; its ability to generate proﬁtable orders within that market; expected growth rates both in the market and geographically are made by management who also take into account past experience and knowledge of forecast future performance together with other relevant external sources of information. The forecast projections use growth rate forecasts extrapolated over the minimum expected life span of the unit which range from 5% to 20% (2011: 15%). Projections beyond the 5 year detailed forecasts do not assume any growth. The forecasts are then discounted at appropriate rates considering the perceived levels of risk, ranging from 9%-14%. (2011: 12-15%). The estimates and assumptions made in connection with the impairment testing could differ from future actual results of operations and cash ﬂows. A reasonably likely variation in the assumptions would not give rise to an impairment. However, future events could cause the Group to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that the asset values associated with a given operation have become impaired. 11.

The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset of £42,000 (2011: £205,000) in respect of subsidiaries’ losses. Whilst the Group believes there is a reasonable chance of recovering the tax losses, it is felt prudent to recognise them as and when the proﬁts arise. The 2012 Budget on 21st March, 2012 announced that the UK corporation tax rate will reduce to 22% by 2014. A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 26% to 25% (effective from 1st April, 2012) was substantively enacted on 5th July, 2011, and further reductions to 24% (effective from 1st April, 2012) and 23% (effective from 1st April, 2013) were substantively enacted on 25th March, 2012 and 3rd July, 2012 respectively. This will reduce the Group’s future current tax charge accordingly and further reduce the deferred tax liability at 30th April, 2012 (which has been calculated based on the rate of 24% substantively enacted at the balance sheet date) by £118,000. It has not yet been possible to quantify the full anticipated effect of the announced further 1% rate reduction, although this will further reduce the Group’s future current tax charge and reduce the Group’s deferred tax liability accordingly. 14.

The deferred consideration at 30th April, 2012 relates to the acquisition of Sandersﬁre International Limited (2012: £338,000; 2011 £nil), and the acquisition of Noreva GmbH (2012: £2,918,000; 2011: £2,677,000). The £241,000 movement in the year for the deferred consideration for Noreva GmbH, reﬂects an additional £513,000 of goodwill in respect of a revision to the contingent deferred consideration, an additional £228,000 for discount unwind less £500,000 paid out under the terms of the sale purchase agreement. The deferred consideration at 30th April, 2011 also included £2,774,000 payable in relation to the acquisition of SRS Holdings Limited. This was satisﬁed in full during the current year via a £26,000 discount unwind and a payment under the terms of the sale purchase agreement of £2,800,000. The liabilities are calculated on the basis of payments being made at the earliest opportunity under the legal agreements as discounted to present values using an assumed cost of capital of 6.5%. 33 19.

Financial risk management The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of ﬁnancial risks that include the effects of changes in market prices (interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices), credit risks, and liquidity. The Group has in place risk management policies that seek to limit the adverse effects on the ﬁnancial performance of the Group by using various instruments and techniques. Risk management policies have been set by the Board and applied by the Group. a) Credit risk The Group’s ﬁnancial assets are cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables, the carrying amounts of which represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to ﬁnancial assets. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables, and is managed through the following processes: i) The majority of orders accepted by Group companies are taken with credit insurance coverage. ii) Some orders are accepted with no credit insurance but with letters of credit. iii) Some orders are accepted with no credit insurance and no letter of credit but with internal analysis of the customer’s size, credit worthiness, historic proﬁtability and payment record. iv) A few orders (less than 10%) are taken at risk following review by more than two Board members. v) Major orders are normally accompanied by stage payments which go towards mitigating our credit risk. 34 20.

The Group has not renegotiated the terms of any trade receivables and has not pledged any trade receivables as security. The Directors estimate that the fair value of the Group’s trade and other receivables is approximate to their carrying values.

Financial risk management (continued) b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its ﬁnancial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufﬁcient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. At the year end the Group had the following unutilised bank facilities in respect of which all conditions precedent had been met: Uncommitted) 2011) 2012) £’000) £’000) Committed) 2012) £’000) 2011) £’000) Total) 2012) £’000) 2011) £’000) Unutilised bank facilities ... )14,814) 12,632) 500) 3,000) 15,314) 15,632) The Group’s principal borrowing facilities are provided by 3 banks in the form of borrowings and short term overdraft facilities. The quantum of borrowing facilities available to the Group is reviewed regularly in light of current working capital requirements and the need for capital investment for the long term future for the Group.

Financial risk management (continued) c) Market risk Foreign exchange risk The Group is subject to ﬂuctuations in exchange rates on its net investments overseas and transactional monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the operating (or “functional”) currency of the operating unit involved. The Group is exposed to ﬂuctuations in several currencies which give rise to the net currency gains and losses recognised in the income statement. The Group at its discretion is empowered to hedge its estimated annual foreign currency exposure in respect of forecast sales and purchases if the Board deems it appropriate after having taken into account the expected movement in the foreign exchange rates. The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk. Most of the foreign exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year after the balance sheet date. Where necessary, the forward exchange contracts are rolled over at maturity. In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies, the Group ensures that the net exposure is eliminated through the use of forward exchange contracts or spot transactions at the time the contractual commitment is in place.

Financial risk management (continued) c) Market risk (continued) Interest rate risk The Group is subject to ﬂuctuations in interest rates on its borrowings and surplus cash. The Group is aware of the ﬁnancial products available to ensure against adverse movements in interest rates. Formal reviews are undertaken to determine whether such instruments are appropriate for the Group. During the year, no new interest rate swaps were entered into. The Group has taken out in previous years £5 million of interest rate protection in the form of swaps and caps. For the year ended 30th April, 2012 these products ensure that the Group’s worse case borrowing rate (including the banks margins) is capped. The table below shows the Group’s ﬁnancial assets and liabilities split by those bearing ﬁxed and ﬂoating rates and those that are non-interest bearing.

The Board maintains a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market conﬁdence and to sustain future development of the business. Operations are funded through various shareholders’ funds, bank debt, ﬁnance leases and, where appropriate, deferred consideration on acquisitions. The capital structure of the Group reﬂects the judgement of the Board as to the appropriate balance of funding required. At 30th April, 2012, the capital used was £60.0 million, (2011: £57.0 million) as shown in the following table: Cash and cash equivalents Bank overdrafts ... Finance leases ... Bank Term loans ... Bank loans ... Deferred consideration ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Net debt ...

The Group’s strategy is to target a debt to equity ratio below 30%, adjusted where appropriate for the effect of acquisitions. At 30th April, 2012 net debt was £14.9 million (which includes £12.9 million of debt incurred on acquisitions since 2007), giving a debt/equity ratio of 33.1% (2011: 35.0%). The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it with regard to the risks inherent in the business and in light of changes to economic conditions. Working capital is managed in order to generate maximum conversion of proﬁts into cash and cash equivalents. Dividends are paid from current year proﬁts, thereby maintaining equity. The policy for debt is to ensure a smooth debt maturity proﬁle with the objective of ensuring continuity of funding. The repayment proﬁle for the debt is shown in note 20(b). There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. 38 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 20. Financial risk management (continued) d) Capital management (continued) Currency derivatives The Group utilises currency derivatives to hedge future transactions and cash ﬂows. The Group is party to a variety of foreign currency forward contracts in the management of its exchange rate exposures. Forecast transactions The Group classiﬁes its forward exchange contracts hedging forecast transactions as cash ﬂow hedges and states them at fair value. The nominal value of forward exchange contracts used as hedges of forecast transactions at 30th April, 2012 was US$20.00 million (2011: US$52.79 million), the fair value of these at 30th April, 2012 was an asset of £0.492 million (2011: asset of £3.96 million). The Group also has a number of forward contracts not designated as cash ﬂow hedges, and therefore recorded at fair value through proﬁt or loss. The nominal value of these contracts at 30th April, 2012 was US$40.4 million, €7.1 million and INR523 million (2011: US$10.37 million and €26.32 million), the fair value of these at 30th April, 2012 was a liability of £0.347 million (2011: liability of £0.17 million). Recognised assets and liabilities Changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts that economically hedge monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and for which no hedge accounting is applied are recognised in the income statement. Both the changes in fair value of the forward contracts and the foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the monetary items are recognised as part of administrative expenses. Interest rate swaps/caps The Group uses interest rate swaps and caps contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its bank borrowings. The nominal value of these contracts at the year end was £5 million (2011: £10 million). The fair value of swaps/caps entered into at 30th April, 2012 was estimated at £799,000 liability (2011: £635,000 liability). Of these swaps/caps, the fair value of those designated as cash ﬂow hedges at 30th April, 2012 was £799,000 liability (2011: £630,000 liability). Derivative ﬁnancial instruments For cash ﬂow hedges the following table sets out the periods when the cash ﬂows are expected to occur and when they are expected to affect proﬁt or loss: 2012 Periods in which cash ﬂows and proﬁts are expected to occur Carrying) amount) £’000) Expected) cash ﬂow) £’000) Within) 1 year) £’000) Between) 1 and) 5 years) £’000) Over) 5 years) £’000) Forward exchange contracts ...

Derivative ﬁnancial assets and liabilities fair values in the above table are derived using Level 2 inputs as deﬁned by IFRS 7 as detailed in the paragraph below. All other ﬁnancial assets and liabilities fair values are determined using Level 3 inputs. IFRS 7 requires that the classiﬁcation of ﬁnancial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classiﬁcation uses the following three-level hierarchy: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Under IAS 39, all derivative ﬁnancial instruments not in a hedge relationship are classiﬁed as derivatives at fair value through proﬁt or loss. The Group does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. All transactions in derivative ﬁnancial instruments are underpinned by ﬁrm orders from customers or to suppliers or where there is a high degree of certainty that orders will be received. For short term cash and cash equivalents trade and other receivables trade and other payables and ﬂoating rate borrowings, the fair values are the same as carrying value. For ﬁxed rate borrowings, forward currency contracts and interest rate instruments fair values have been calculated by discounting the cash ﬂows at prevailing appropriate market rates. Other assets reﬂect management’s estimate of value on an appropriate basis. 21. Operating leases Non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows: Less than one year ...

Subsequent events After the balance sheet date an ordinary dividend of 32.082p per qualifying ordinary share was proposed by the Directors (2011: ordinary dividend of 29.166p). The current year proposed ordinary dividend of £2,310,000 has not been provided for within these ﬁnancial statements (2011: proposed ordinary dividend of £2,100,000 was not provided for within the comparative ﬁgures). 25. Acquisitions The Group made two small acquisitions during the year to compliment existing operations, with JSR Technology Limited added to the mechanical engineering division in August 2011 following the purchase of 75% of the ordinary shares, and Sandersﬁre International Limited added to the refractories engineering division in May 2011, following the purchase of 100% of the ordinary shares. JSR Technology Limited will generate synergy savings and reduce reliance on key suppliers; Sandersﬁre International Limited will add additional and complimentary product lines.

Accounting estimates and judgements (a) Recoverability of assets / impairment calculations The Group’s Directors review the appropriateness of the carrying values of its non-current and current assets. With regards to the non-current assets, the Directors are of the opinion that the goodwill at the year end remains unimpaired as the underlying performance of the subsidiaries giving rise to this goodwill is sufﬁciently proﬁtable to merit no impairment. With regard to property, plant and equipment, the Directors continue to make reference in the Directors’ Report that, in their opinion, the value of the Group’s freehold land and buildings is in excess of the values disclosed in the balance sheet. With regard to plant and equipment, the Directors consider that the depreciation rates applied are sufﬁcient, taking into account both the expected lifespan of the plant and equipment and also the demand in the marketplace for the goods that the plant produces. With regard to current assets, the Directors look at the carrying values as stated in the balance sheet and make full provision for any assets on which there is a high degree of probability that full conversion of such assets into cash is unlikely. (b) Derivatives As stated in note 1, under derivative ﬁnancial instruments and hedging, the Group has applied the provisions of IAS 39 with respect to hedge accounting for its effective cash ﬂow hedging on foreign exchange transactions. For the most part, the hedges are underpinned by ﬁrm orders and the balance relating to forecast activities are relatively small given the Group’s normal order inputs in these currencies. In addition to the foreign exchange hedging the Group has also cash ﬂow hedged an element of its interest rate swap derivative. (c) Acquisitions Note 10 contains information about intangible assets recognised on acquisition. These primarily relate to existing contracts, brand names and customer lists. In determining the fair value of assets acquired under business combinations, including the valuation of other intangibles, a number of estimates are made. These estimates include the expected life spans of the products underpinning the purchases together with the returns expected and the risk attaching to those returns. (d) Deferred taxation Deferred taxation has been estimated using the best information available, including seeking the opinions of independent experts when applicable. 43 GOODWIN PLC COMPANY BALANCE SHEET At 30th April, 2012 FIXED ASSETS Intangible assets Tangible assets Investments ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

W. GOODWIN Director R. S. GOODWIN Director Registered Company Number: 305907 44 C1 UK GAAP accounting policies NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Principal accounting policies The Company has elected to prepare its ﬁnancial statements under UK GAAP. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to these ﬁnancial statements. Basis of accounting The ﬁnancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost accounting rules, except for derivatives which are valued at fair value, and in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards. The Company is exempt under S408(3) Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to present its own proﬁt and loss account. In accordance with FRS 1, the Company is exempt from preparing its own cash ﬂow statement. In accordance with FRS 8 “Related parties”, the Company is exempt from disclosing transactions with its subsidiaries. The Company has adopted the requirements of FRS 29 and has taken the exemption under that standard from disclosure on the grounds that the Group ﬁnancial statements contain disclosures in compliance with IFRS 7. Investment in subsidiary undertakings In the Company’s ﬁnancial statements, investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less amounts written off for impairment. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains and losses on translation are included in the proﬁt and loss account. Intangible ﬁxed assets and amortisation Intangible assets acquired as part of an acquisition are capitalised at their fair value where this can be measured reliably. Manufacturing rights, brand names and customer lists purchased by the Company are amortised to nil by equal annual instalments over their useful economic lives, generally their respective unexpired periods, of between 6 and 15 years. Tangible ﬁxed assets and depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write down the cost of ﬁxed assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives. The method of calculation and the annual rates applied are as follows: ... Freehold land ... Freehold buildings ... Plant and machinery ... Motor vehicles ... ... Fixtures and ﬁttings ... Assets under the course of construction are not depreciated. Nil 2% on cost 10% to 25% on reducing balance or 25% on cost 15% or 25% on reducing balance 25% on reducing balance ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Taxation The charge for taxation is based on the proﬁt for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Except where otherwise required by accounting standards, full provision without discounting is made for all timing differences which have arisen but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Deferred taxation is not provided on earnings retained in overseas subsidiary undertakings as it is not expected that an actual liability will arise. Leasing Where the Company enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a “ﬁnance lease”. The asset is recorded in the balance sheet as a tangible ﬁxed asset and is depreciated over its estimated useful life, or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Future instalments under such leases, net of ﬁnance charges, are included with creditors. Rentals payable are apportioned between the ﬁnance element, which is charged to the proﬁt and loss account, and the capital element which reduces the outstanding obligation for future instalments. All other leases are accounted for as “operating leases” and the rental charges are charged to the proﬁt and loss account on a straight line basis over the life of the lease. Financial Instruments The Company uses ﬁnancial instruments to manage ﬁnancial risks associated with the Group’s underlying business activities and the ﬁnancing of those business activities. The Company does not undertake any trading in ﬁnancial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date that the contract is entered into and subsequently re-measured in future periods at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting change in fair value is dependent on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the swaps at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of the swap counterparties. 45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) C2 Proﬁt for the ﬁnancial year The Company’s proﬁt for the ﬁnancial year was £6,078,000 (2011: £4,964,000). Included in proﬁt before taxation are the following: Fees receivable by the auditors and their associates in respect of: ...

The manufacturing rights brought forward reﬂect the payment in a previous period for an irrevocable licence for the Goodwin Group to manufacture the Noreva range of nozzle check valves in the UK. These rights will be amortised over 15 years in line with the expected life of the asset with appropriate royalties being charged to the UK subsidiary carrying on the manufacturing of the valves. The intangible asset, being in effect an inter company transaction, does not feature in the Group accounts as an intangible asset. C5 Tangible ﬁxed assets Cost At beginning of year ... Additions ...
