Financial Liabilities - Amendments to
IAS 32 
 
·      Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets - Amendments to
IAS 36 
 
The adoption of the above has not had a significant impact on the Group's
profit for the year or equity. 
 
2.   Segmental analysis 
 
The Board is considered to be the "chief operating decision maker" of the
Group in the context of the IFRS 8 definition.  The information which is
reviewed by the Board for the purposes of assessing financial performance and
allocating resources comprises the income statement for the Company as a
whole. 
 
The Group has identified one operating segment - food-on-the-go retailing
which includes the sale of products through our own shops and franchised
operations.  The Group conducts a small amount of wholesale business but this
is not significant in the context of IFRS 8 and it is not anticipated that
this will become a 'Reportable Segment'. 
 
Products and services - the Group sells a consistent range of fresh bakery
goods, sandwiches and drinks in its shops.  The Group also provides frozen
bakery products to its wholesale customers. 
 
Major customers - the majority of sales are made to the general public on a
cash basis.  A small proportion of sales are made on credit to certain
organisations, including wholesale customers, but these are immaterial in a
Group context. 
 
Geographical areas - all results arise in the UK. 
 
The Board has carefully considered the requirements of IFRS 8 and concluded
that, as there is only one reportable segment whose revenue, profits, assets
and liabilities are measured and reported on a consistent basis with the Group
accounts, no additional numerical disclosures are necessary.

Supply sites 
 
The impairment arose following the decision that additional capacity in the
supply chain was not required in the medium term. 
 
Closure of in-store bakeries 
 
The charge arises from the decision to consolidate the Group's in-store
bakeries into its regional bakery network and comprises of redundancy costs,
asset write-offs and the costs of making good the shops (dilapidations) as
bakery equipment is removed. 
 
Shop impairment and onerous leases 
 
The charges arose from the decision to focus on reshaping the Group's existing
estate through closure and resite of shops and withdrawal from the Greggs
moment brand. 
 
Restructuring of support functions 
 
The charge relates to the redundancy costs incurred in respect of
restructuring within the support functions.

8.    Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
Corporate governance guidance requires the disclosure of principal risks and
uncertainties.  A principal risk is defined as "a risk or combination of risks
which can seriously affect the performance, future prospects or reputation of
the entity".  This would include risks which would threaten the business'
viability. 
 
Greggs is exposed to a wider range of risks than those listed here.  However,
these are considered to be the most important to the future development,
performance or position of the business.  The risks listed are not set out in
any particular order, although they are grouped into five themes.

 Change programme The business has embarked on a long term project to improve operational efficiency, requiring significant capital investment.   Progress may not be in line with expectations, or budgets may not be met.                                        The project delivery is overseen by the Operating Board, under the guidance of a project sponsor, providing robust governance.  Regular updates are provided to the Board, to monitor progress against clearly defined timelines and financial forecasts. Risk

 Information securityGreggs obtains significant quantities of customer data through its loyalty scheme, which needs to be handled in a secure manner.  More general "cyber" issues are also an area of risk.                                                       A cross functional working group determines priorities for improving the business approach to Information Security.  Where appropriate, the Company is investing in training and technology to strengthen controls. Risk rating: No change

 Product quality and safetyAs a food-on-the-go retailer and manufacturer, good food safety is clearly imperative to maintain consumer confidence in our products.  We need to ensure that our ingredients are in line with specification, and are used correctly.  Procedures are in place in our bakeries, logistics operations and shops to ensure that food safety is maintained.  These procedures are supported by robust audit processes, both internally and by regulatory bodies. Risk rating: No change                   
 Food scareGreggs may suffer from a loss of customer confidence due to a major food scare beyond its control.                                                                                                                                                      The majority of products for sale in our shops have been manufactured by our staff in our bakeries.  Checks are carried out to confirm the integrity of our ingredients as part of routine processes.

 Loss of productionSome of our products are produced in one location and distributed nationwide.  Any disruption to supply would have a significant impact on our customers.
