The majority of Premier’s revenue and expenditure is carried out in US dollars, despite being a UK company headquartered in London.
The company said by adopting the US dollar for reporting purposes, the board believes the accounts will give a clearer picture of the performance of the company’s business, minimising the impact of US dollar/sterling exchange rate fluctuations.
The change will take effect in the results for the year ended 31 December 2004, to be announced in March 2005.
