NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Non-executive directors (excluding the Chairman) were paid fees totalling £270,000 in the year to 31 July 2004. Their remuneration is determined by the Board in accordance with the Articles of Association. During the year, the basic fee was increased from £30,000 per annum to £40,000 per annum (the first increase since August 2000). The non-executive directors are not eligible for bonuses or participation in share schemes and no pension contributions are made on their behalf. The non-executive directors serve the Company under letters of appointment and do not have contracts of service or contracts for services.

Options granted under the Smiths Industries 1995 Executive Share Option Scheme up to 2001 are subject to performance testing based on total shareholder return of the Company versus the total return of the General Industrials Sector of the FTSE All Shares Index. Options granted from 2002 are subject to a performance test based on growth in the Company's earnings per share exceeding the UK RPI Index plus 3% per annum (for options up to one time base salary) and 4% per annum (for the excess up to two times salary). There are no further performance criteria for the Smiths Industries (1984) Executive Share Option Scheme or The Smiths Industries Senior Executive Deferred Share Scheme or the TI Group Executive Share Option Schemes.
