FULLER, SMITH & TURNER P.L.C. 
 
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
FOR THE 52 WEEKS ENDED 28 MARCH 2015 
 
1.   PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 
 
The consolidated financial statements of Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. for the
52 weeks ended 28 March 2015 were authorised for issue by the Board of
Directors on 4 June 2015. 
 
This statement does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined
by Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the 52
weeks ended 28 March 2015 has been extracted from the statutory financial
statements on which an unmodified audit opinion has been issued and will be
delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Company's Annual General
Meeting. Statutory financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 29 March 2014,
including an unmodified auditor's report which did not make any statement
under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. 
 
The Group financial statements are presented in Sterling and all values are
shown in millions of pounds (£m) rounded to the nearest hundred thousand
pounds, except when otherwise indicated. The accounting policies used have
been applied consistently, except where set out below, and are described in
full in the statutory financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 28 March
2015, which will be mailed to shareholders on or before 25 June 2015 and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The financial statements will also be
available from the Company's registered office: Griffin Brewery, Chiswick Lane
South, Chiswick, London, W4 2QB, and on its website, from that date. 
 
2.   SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS 
 
For management purposes, the Group's operating segments are: 
 
- Managed Pubs and Hotels, which comprises managed pubs, managed hotels and
The Stable; 
 
- Tenanted Inns, which comprises pubs operated by third parties under tenancy
or lease agreements; and 
 
- The Fuller's Beer Company, which comprises the brewing and distribution of
beer, cider, wines, spirits and soft drinks. 
 
The Group's business is vertically integrated. The most important measure used
to evaluate the performance of the business is adjusted profit, which is the
profit before tax, adjusted for exceptional items. The operating segments are
organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products and
services provided, with each segment representing a strategic operating unit.
More details of these segments are given in the Chief Executive's Review.
Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit before exceptional
items and is measured consistently with the operating profit before
exceptional items in the consolidated financial statements. 
 
Transfer prices between operating segments are set on an arm's length basis in
a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Segment revenue, segment
expense and segment result include transfers between operating segments. Those
transfers are eliminated on consolidation. Group financing, including finance
costs and revenue, and taxation are managed on a Group basis.

The rate of UK corporation tax reduced from 21% to 20% from 1 April 2015. To
the extent that this rate change will affect the amount of future cash tax
payments to be made by the Group, this will reduce the size of both the
Group's Balance Sheet deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset. In the 52
weeks to 29 March 2014, the reduction in the rate from 23% to 21% resulted in
an exceptional credit to the Income Statement of £3.4 million, and a charge to
the Statement of Comprehensive Income of £0.6 million.

For the purposes of calculating the number of shares to be used above, 'B'
shares have been treated as one tenth of an 'A' or 'C' share.  The earnings
per share calculation is based on earnings from continuing operations and on
the weighted average ordinary share capital which excludes shares held by
trusts relating to employee share options and shares held in treasury of
1,463,761 (2014: 1,170,610). 
 
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated using the same earnings
figure as for basic earnings per share, divided by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average
number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the
dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. 
 
Adjusted earnings per share are calculated on profit before tax excluding
exceptional items and on the same weighted average ordinary share capital as
for the basic and diluted earnings per share. An adjusted earnings per share
measure has been included as the Directors consider that this measure better
reflects the underlying earnings of the Group.

The pence figures are for the 40p 'A' and 'C' ordinary shares.  The 4p 'B'
ordinary shares carry dividend rights of one tenth of those applicable to the
40p 'A' ordinary shares.  Own shares held in the employee share trusts do not
qualify for dividends as the trustees have waived their rights.  Dividends are
also not paid on own shares held as treasury shares.

During the 52 weeks ended 28 March 2015, the Group recognised an impairment
loss of £0.7 million (2014: £1.8 million) in respect of the write down of
licensed properties purchased in recent years where their asset values
exceeded either fair value less costs to sell or their value in use. The
impairment losses were driven principally by changes in the local competitive
environment in which the pubs are situated. Following an improvement in
trading performance and an increase in the amounts of estimated future cash
flows of certain previously impaired sites, reversals of £0.7 million were
recognised during the 52 weeks ended 28 March 2015 (2014: £1.3 million).
