Note: 
 
30 September 2013 and 2014 Investment basis financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis to the 31 March
2014 statements as presented in our Annual Report and Accounts 2014. The IFRS financial statements are shown further on in
this report. 
 
Reconciliation of Investment basis to IFRS 
 
IFRS 10 has resulted in a significant change to the presentation of the Group's financial statements. However, there
continues to be no difference in the total return or net asset position of the Group, between our Investment basis and IFRS
financial statements. 
 
The Group makes investments directly in portfolio companies held by 3i Group plc and indirectly, held through intermediate
holding company and partnership structures ("Investment entity subsidiaries"). It also has other operational subsidiaries
which provide services and other activities such as employment, regulatory activities, management and advice ("Trading
subsidiaries"). 
 
Since the adoption of IFRS in the year ended 31 March 2006, there has been discussion about whether investment companies,
such as 3i, should be exempt from consolidation of its investments (the directly and indirectly held portfolio companies).
IFRS 10 has resolved this point with the introduction of an investment entity exception confirming that portfolio companies
should be accounted for at fair value, which is an excellent outcome. However, in the detailed application of the standard,
which is currently under discussion and review as part of an Exposure Draft issued in June 2014 by the IASB, Investment
entity subsidiaries are also accounted for on a fair value basis. This means that the financial effect of the underlying
portfolio companies and fee income, operating expenses and carried interest incurred in Investment entity subsidiaries are
aggregated into a single value shown as Investments in investment entities. Other items which were previously eliminated on
consolidation are now included separately. 
 
We therefore produce an "Investment basis" set of primary financial statements, prepared on a similar basis to the
financial statements prior to the application of IFRS 10, fair valuing portfolio companies at the level which we believe
provides the most understandable financial information and consolidating associated transactions on a line-by-line basis. 
 
A detailed reconciliation from the Investment basis to IFRS basis of the Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of
financial position, and Cash flow statement can be found on the following pages.

Notes: 
 
 1  Applying IFRS 10 to the Statement of comprehensive income consolidates the line items of a number of previously consolidated subsidiaries into a single line item "Fair value movements on investment entity subsidiaries". In the "Investment Basis" accounts  
    we have disaggregated these line items to analyse our total return as if these investment entity subsidiaries were fully consolidated, consistent with prior periods. The adjustments simply reclassify the Statement of comprehensive income of the Group, and 
    the total return is equal under the investment basis and the IFRS basis.                                                                                                                                                                                        
 2  Realised profits, unrealised profits, and portfolio income shown in the IFRS accounts only relate to portfolio companies that are held directly by 3i Group plc and not those portfolio companies held through investment entity subsidiaries. Realised profits, 
    unrealised profits, and portfolio income in relation to portfolio companies held through investment entity subsidiaries are aggregated into the single "Fair value movement on investment entity subsidiaries" line. This is the most significant reduction of  
    information in our IFRS accounts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 3  Other items also aggregated into the "Fair value movements on investment entity subsidiaries" line include fees receivable from external funds, audit fees, custodian fees, bank charges, other general and administration expenses, carried interest and tax.  
 4  On the Investment Basis, the impact of the translation of foreign subsidiaries is included within the line items Foreign exchange on investments and Exchange movements rather than as a separate line item as required under IFRS. On an IFRS basis, the       
    revaluation of assets and liabilities held by investment entity subsidiaries is reflected in the fair value movements on investment entity subsidiaries rather than being reflected as exchange movements.

Notes: 
 
 1  Applying IFRS 10 to the Statement of financial position aggregates the line items of a number of previously consolidated subsidiaries into the single line item "Investment in investment entities". In the Investment basis we have disaggregated these items  
    to analyse our net assets as if the investment entity subsidiaries were consolidated, consistent with prior periods. The adjustment reclassifies items in the Statement of financial position. There is no change to the net assets, although for reasons       
    explained below, gross assets and gross liabilities are different.                                                                                                                                                                                              
    The disclosure relating to portfolio companies is significantly reduced by the aggregation, as the fair value of all investments held by investment entity subsidiaries is aggregated into the "Investments in investment entities" line. We have disaggregated 
    this fair value and disclosed the underlying portfolio holding in the relevant line item, ie, quoted equity investments, unquoted equity investments or loans and receivables.                                                                                  
    Other items which may be aggregated are carried interest and other payables, and the investment basis presentation again disaggregates these items.                                                                                                             
 2  Cash balances held in investment entity subsidiaries are also aggregated into the "Investment in investment entities" line. At 30 September 2014, £41 million of cash was held in subsidiaries that are now classified as investment entity subsidiaries and is 
    therefore included in the "Investment in investment entities" line.                                                                                                                                                                                             
 3  Intercompany balances between investment entity subsidiaries and trading subsidiaries also impact the transparency of our results under the IFRS basis. If an investment entity subsidiary has an intercompany balance with a consolidated trading subsidiary of 
    the Group, then the asset or liability of the investment entity subsidiary will be aggregated into its fair value, while the asset or liability of the consolidated trading subsidiary will be disclosed as an asset or liability in the statement of financial 
    position of the Group. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 10, these balances would have been eliminated on consolidation.                                                                                                                                            
 4  Investment basis financial statements are prepared for performance measurement and therefore reserves are not analysed separately under this basis.
