2004 accounts restated and audited as compliant with International Financial
Reporting Standards


Rotork, the specialist engineer, today notifies its 2004 accounts restated and
audited as compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").


The adoption of IFRS will first apply to the Group's financial results for the
six months ending 30 June, 2005. Previously Rotork reported under UK generally
accepted accounting principles (UK GAAP).


The new accounting standards change the basis on which many of the figures in
the accounts are calculated, and this statement should be read in conjunction
with the full audited restatement also announced today. The adoption of IFRS
results in changes to the Company's income statement for the 12 months ended 31
December 2004, announced on 3 March, 2005.


These restated accounts for 2004 will also be used as the comparative figures
when the results for 2005 are released.


The major impacts of IFRS accounting standards on income are shown below.

  * Cost of share schemes - This relates to all employee share schemes
    operated by the Group. Previously only the performance related share scheme
    "LTIP" resulted in a charge to income, the share option scheme being
    satisfied by the issue of new shares with no income statement charge. The
    new standard requires that all share schemes result in a charge against
    profits and prescribes a method for calculating the LTIP charge. This
    creates an overall reduction in the charge to profit of #12k in 2004.

  * Treatment of intangibles - IFRS requires a new approach to the allocation
    of purchase price on an acquisition to reduce the amount of the carrying
    value of goodwill by allocating purchase price to amortisable intangibles.
    As a result, an additional charge of #70k against profit appears in relation
    to the 2004 acquisition of Deanquip.

  * Goodwill amortisation - The 2004 goodwill amortisation of #1,293k is
    reversed as goodwill on earlier acquisitions are fixed at the 1 January 2004
    value and subject to annual impairment tests.

  * Capitalised development costs - This relates to the requirement to
    attribute value to the development of products under a prescribed formula.
    An additional charge against profit of #220k appears in the 2004 accounts.
    The Balance Sheet has an additional net asset of #772k relating to historic
    development costs now capitalised.

  * Treatment of exchange gains. This standard requires exchange gains, mainly
    on the conversion of foreign currency cash balances, to be shown after the
    definition of operating income, rather than within it. 2004 had an exchange
    gain relating to foreign cash held, credited within administration costs.
    This now comes out of operating income into financial income. The result is
    that operating income drops by #440k, but Profit before Tax is unchanged.

  * Basic EPS as reported was 23.2p, under the restated accounts it is 24.5p.

  * Balance sheet reclassification - IFRS requires a number of assets and
    liabilities to be presented differently.  The most significant change is the
    presentation of all deferred tax assets as non-current assets rather than as
    current assets or a reduction in the defined benefit pension liability.
    Furthermore, employee related accruals, previously shown in current
    liabilities, are now disclosed within employee benefits which is within
    non-current liabilities and there is some reanalysis between the lines
    within equity.


Attached to this statement are the 2004 income statement reconciliation and
balance sheet reconciliation at 31 December 2004 to the IFRS accounts now
released.



A second statement notified today provides the full restated accounts for 2004.


Additionally, Rotork announces that today a meeting will be held with analysts
at the Lucca plant in Italy, the main factory operated by the Rotork Fluid
System division which is one of the main growth areas for the Group. No new
trading information will be provided by the Company at this event.  Trading
remains in line with the Trading Update made at the Annual General Meeting on 22
April 2005.


The Company's announcement of its interim 2005 results will be made on 3 August
2005.
