EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Companies (Forms Amendment No. 2 and Company's Type and Principal Business Activities) Regulations 1990 ("the 1990 Regulations"). The 1990 Regulations prescribe the system of classifying business activities for the purposes of section 364(1)(b) of the Companies Act 1985 (as substituted by the Companies Act 1989) which requires a company to give its principal business activities in its annual return, by reference to a prescribed classification. These Regulations amend the 1990 Regulations by prescribing for this purpose the UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2003. Copies of the UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2003 are available from Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
