Notes to the accounts and accounting policies 
 
Basis of preparation 
 
These financial statements are the unaudited condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements
(the "Half-yearly Financial Statements") of 3i Group plc, a company incorporated in Great Britain and registered in England
and Wales, and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") for the six-month period ended 30 September 2014. 
 
The Half-yearly Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim
Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year to
31 March 2014 ("Report and Accounts 2014"), as they provide an update of previously reported information. 
 
The Half-yearly Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 12 November 2014. 
 
The Half-yearly Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the Report
and Accounts 2014 except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2014. These
include amendments to IAS 32 Amendment to offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities, IAS 36 Recoverable amount
disclosures for non financial assets and IAS 39 Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting. None of these
standards have impacted the Group's financial statements. 
 
The Half-yearly Financial Statements do not constitute statutory accounts. The statutory accounts for the year to
31 March 2014, prepared under IFRS, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and the auditors have issued a report,
which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The preparation of the Half-yearly Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision
and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The most significant techniques for estimation
are described in the accounting policies and in "Portfolio valuation - an explanation". 
 
The Half-yearly Financial Statements have been prepared using the going concern basis, and the Directors are not aware of
any new events or circumstances which would make this inappropriate. 
 
The Group operates in business lines where significant seasonal or cyclical variations in activity are not experienced
during the financial year. 
 
The Group adopted IFRS 10, 11, 12, 13 and IAS 19(R) in the Report and Accounts 2014 which require a restatement for the six
month period to 30 September 2013. IFRS 11 has no material effect on the financial statements. IFRS 12 and 13 require
additional disclosures which are included in the Report and Accounts 2014 as well as in these financial statements where
required. A description of the impact of IAS 19(R) on the financial statements is included in the Report and Accounts 2014.
The nature and the impact of IFRS 10 is described below: 
 
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements 
 
Under IFRS 10 a large number of entities within the Group have been classified as investment entities. As a result they are
no longer consolidated and are instead held at fair value. The detailed application of IFRS 10, including the judgements
made, is disclosed in the Report and Accounts 2014. 
 
Impact on statement of comprehensive income 
 
As a result of this change in treatment the total return generated by investment entities is no longer presented on a
line-by-line basis but combined and shown as a new line in the Statement of comprehensive income - "Fair value movements on
investment entity subsidiaries". This has resulted in a restatement of prior year figures where previously consolidated
line items are now aggregated into this line. 
 
The impact of this restatement by line item for the six months to 30 September 2013 is: 
 
Realised profits over value on the disposal of investments (£(36) million); Unrealised profits on the revaluation of
investments (£(126) million); Dividends (£(6) million); Income from loans and receivables (£(11) million); Fees receivable
from external funds (£(12) million); Operating expenses (£9 million); Carried interest receivable from external funds (£(3)
million); Carried interest and performance fees payable (£36 million); Income taxes (£1 million); Exchange movements (£(19)
million); Fair value movements on investment entity subsidiaries (£147 million); and Income/(expense) from fair value
subsidiaries (£20 million). There is no overall change to total return. 
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share of the Group have been restated as a result of adopting IFRS 10. 
 
Impact on statement of financial position 
 
The closing fair value of the net assets of the investment entities is now combined and stated in a new line "Investment in
investment entities". This has resulted in a restatement of prior year figures where previously consolidated line items are
now aggregated into this line. 
 
The impact of this restatement by line item for the six months to 30 September 2013 is: 
 
Quoted investments (£(317) million); Unquoted investments (£(1,258) million); Carried interest receivable (£(12) million);
Intangible assets (£(19) million); Other current assets (£(15) million); Cash and cash equivalents (£(43) million); Trade
and other payables (£46 million); Carried interest and performance fees payable (£58 million); Current income taxes (£(1)
million); Provisions (£1 million); and Investment in investment entities (£1,560 million). 
 
Cash balances held in investment entity subsidiaries are aggregated into the "Investment in investment entities" line and
not consolidated. Intercompany balances between investment entity subsidiaries and consolidated Group entities which would
have previously been eliminated on consolidation are no longer eliminated. There is no change to the net assets presented
as a result of the adoption of IFRS 10, albeit that gross assets and gross liabilities have changed as a result of the
changes to cash and intercompany balances. 
 
Impact on cash flow statement 
 
The cash flow statement is impacted by the adoption of IFRS 10 because the cash held by investment entity subsidiaries is
no longer consolidated. It now forms part of the fair value of the investment entity subsidiary. Additionally, the cash
flow statement now includes a new line to disclose the cash movements to and from investment entities, "Cash inflow from
fair value subsidiaries". This has resulted in a restatement of prior year figures where previously consolidated line items
are now aggregated and disclosed in these lines. 
 
The impact of this change on cash and cash equivalents at 30 September 2013 is: a decrease of £43 million and the change by
line item is: 
 
Purchase of investments (£16 million); Proceeds from investments (£(177) million); Portfolio interest received (£(4)
million); Portfolio dividends received (£(9) million); Fees received from external funds (£(15) million); Carried interest
received (£(1) million); Carried interest and performance fees paid (£7 million); Operating expenses (£16 million); Income
taxes paid (£3 million); Investment/Divestment into fair value subsidiaries (£167 million); and Cash and cash equivalents
at the start of the year (£(46) million). 
 
1 Segmental analysis 
 
Operating segments are the components of the entity whose results are regularly reviewed by the entity's
chief-operating-decision-maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
The chief-operating-decision-maker for the Group is considered to be the Chief Executive. The Group considers the
businesses' activity on two bases. Firstly, as business divisions determined with reference to market focus, geographic
focus, investment funding model and the Group's management hierarchy. Secondly, in line with the strategy of the Group, it
considers separate Proprietary Capital and Fund Management businesses focused on investment returns and Fund Management
profits respectively. 
 
The performance of the business divisions is primarily assessed based on Gross Investment Return. 
 
The Proprietary Capital segment is assessed based on Operating profit before carry which comprises Gross Investment Return,
direct costs and a synthetic fee paid to the fund manager and funding expenses. 
 
The Fund Management segment is assessed based on Operating profit before carry which comprises fees receivable from
external funds and a synthetic fee paid from the Proprietary Capital segment offset by operating expenses of the investment
teams. 
 
In line with IFRS 8, the tables below are presented on the Investment basis which is the basis used by the
chief-operating-decision-maker to monitor the performance of the Group. A description of the Investment basis is provided
in the Financial review.
