Real Office Group plc 
Notes to the Accounts - For the period ended 31 July 2009 
 
 
1. General information 
 
 
Real Office Group plc (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the 
"Group") is a global office design and fit out group specialising in commercial 
real estate. 
 
 
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom under the 
provisions of The Companies Act 2006 with the registered number 06195939. The 
Company's registered office is Thavies Inn House, 3 - 4 Holborn Circus, London 
EC1N 2HA. 
 
 
On 10 November 2008, Roger Smee acquired control of the Company following an 
unconditional offer for up to 74.90 per cent of the share capital of the Company 
made through Leander Group Limited. The offer closed on 28 November 2008 with 
Leander having acquired 73.03 per cent of the share capital of the Company. 
Roger Smee held 14.27% per cent of the share capital of the Company through 
various vehicles prior to this transaction, therefore his total interest in the 
share capital of the Company following this transaction was 87.30%. 
At 10 November 2008, Roger Smee also controlled Pacific Interiors Limited, ISIS 
Projects Limited and Pacific Middle East LLC ("the subsidiaries"). These 
subsidiaries were acquired in a simultaneous transaction by the Company, on an 
arms length basis, on 28 April 2009. 
The acquisitions of the subsidiaries are deemed to be 'combinations under common 
control' as ultimate control before and after the acquisition was the same. As a 
result, these acquisitions are outside of the scope of IFRS 3 "Business 
combinations" and have been consolidated under the principals of the pooling of 
interest method of accounting from 10 November 2008, the date common control was 
established. 
The fair value of the consideration paid for the subsidiaries was GBP24.4 
million; this was satisfied by the issue of GBP15.1 million shares in the 
Company (nominal value GBP13.8 million), the assumption of GBP2.0 million of 
intercompany debt, the issuance of a GBP2.0 million loan note instrument, the 
payment of GBP1.0 million in cash and GBP0.3million of costs associated with the 
transaction which was settled in cash. In addition, there is deferred 
consideration which is based upon the future performance of the subsidiaries. 
The fair value of the deferred consideration at the balance sheet date was 
GBP3.5 million based upon the forecast earnings of the individual entities to 
which the deferred consideration applies. 
Following the acquisition of the subsidiaries, the accounting reference date of 
the Company was changed to 31 July resulting in the 15 month period presented. 
The prior year comparative for the Company is the 13 month period from 2 April 
2007 (the date of incorporation) to 30 April 2008. Because the Company had no 
subsidiaries in the prior year, the results of both the Company and Group for 
the period ended 30 April 2008 are the same. 
2. Accounting policies 
 
 
Basis of preparation

have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The level of rounding is to the 
nearest thousand and to one decimal place. The principal accounting policies 
adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The 
policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise 
stated. 
 
 
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which 
assumes that the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for 
the at least 12 months following the date of approval of these financial 
statements. 
The directors have considered the going concern assumption in the preparation of
