Key terms have been agreed between the Company and the Trustee as to the re-apportionment of any debt arising by virtue of section 75 of the Pensions Act 2004 relating to the sale of Quest International Flavours and Fragrances Ltd (“Quest Ltd”).

This excerpt taken from the ICI 6-K filed Mar 16, 2005. Related party transactions
The main related party transactions are with IC Insurance Limited and ICI Pension Trustees Limited (details are in note 40 to the consolidated financial statements).
The financial statements of the ICI Group are prepared in accordance with UK GAAP. UK GAAP differs in certain respects from US GAAP. Net income from continuing and discontinued operations and shareholders’ equity calculated in accordance with US GAAP are set out in the table below. Note 42 to the Group’s financial statements describes the significant differences between UK GAAP and US GAAP affecting the ICI Group’s net income and shareholders’ equity for the three years ended 31 December 2004.
ICI ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2004
Under US GAAP, the net income in 2004 was £105m (2003 £166m net expense; 2002 £9m net income) compared with net income of £210m (2003 £20m net income; 2002 £179m net income) under UK GAAP. Under US GAAP, shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2004 was £2,279m, (at 31 December 2003 was £2,359m and at 31 December 2002 was £2,805m) compared with £721m surplus (2003 £450m surplus, 2002 £463m surplus) under UK GAAP. These differences primarily result from the differing accounting treatment of purchase accounting adjustments, pensions, disposal accounting, capitalisation of interest, deferred tax, derivative instruments and restructuring costs.
