Notes to the condensed financial statements 
 
1.1 Basis of accounting 
 
The condensed Group financial statements for the half-year ended 26 June 2015 have been prepared in accordance with the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted
by the European Union. The condensed Group financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2014, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. 
 
The condensed Group financial statements have been reviewed, not audited, and were approved for issue by the Board on 11
August 2015. The financial information included in this report does not constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of
Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the Company's audited statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December
2014 has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The independent auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified,
did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the
report and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The condensed Group financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Annual
Report and Accounts 2014 except as described in Note 1.4 below. 
 
1.2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 
 
The Group's principal judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty remain unchanged since the year-end and are set
out in Note 2.27 on pages 101 and 102 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2014. 
 
1.3 Going concern 
 
Having made appropriate enquiries and reviewed medium-term cash forecasts, the Directors consider it reasonable to assume
that the Group has adequate resources to continue for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report and,
for this reason, have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-year condensed Group financial
statements. Refer to Note 23. 
 
1.4 Adoption of new and revised standards 
 
The following new and revised standards have been adopted in the current period and do not have a material effect on the
Group: 
 
·      Amendments to the following standards: 
 
o  IAS 19 Employee Benefits: Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions 
 
o  Improvements to IFRSs (2010 - 2012) 
 
o  Improvements to IFRSs (2011 - 2013). 
 
1.5 Accounting standards not yet adopted by the Group 
 
The following accounting standards, interpretations and amendments have been issued by the IASB but had either not been
adopted by the European Union or were not yet effective in the European Union at 26 June 2015: 
 
·      IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 
 
·      IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts 
 
·      IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
 
·      Amendments to the following standards 
 
o  IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture 
 
o  IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exemption 
 
o  IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations 
 
o  IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative 
 
o  IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation 
 
o  IAS 16 and IAS 41: Agricultural: Bearer Plants 
 
o  IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements 
 
o  Improvements to IFRSs (2012 - 2014). 
 
The Group does not expect the above standards to have a material quantitative effect. 
 
1.7 Restatement of prior period result 
 
Given the scale of the losses incurred in 2014 following significant write-downs on contracts resulting from the failure to
apply control processes properly, consideration was given as to whether any of the losses incurred in 2014 should have been
identified and accounted for in previous periods in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors. 
 
The projects on which there was a significant deterioration in the end margin from tender were examined to identify the
reasons for the change and to identify the time of the root cause for the deterioration. 
 
The results of the exercise showed that the vast majority of the losses were due to operational issues in 2014 and
appropriately accounted for in that year. However, there were certain contracts where there were errors principally due to
unrealistic cost and scope assumptions which were not appropriately accounted for in the first half of 2014. As a
consequence, the comparatives for the half-year ended 27 June 2014 have been restated to reduce profits from UK
construction by £16m, with a corresponding impact to amounts due to construction contract customers on the balance sheet.
Refer to Note 26. 
 
Following the July 2015 Trading Update, a similar exercise was carried out. The results of this exercise showed that the
vast majority of the losses were due to operational issues in 2015, and therefore appropriately accounted for in the first
half of this year. 
 
1.8 Changes in accounting estimates 
 
Following the UK and US construction business contract reviews conducted in the period, and consistent with the approach
adopted in the UK at the 2014 year end to reflect an increased level of prudence in estimating contract completion costs,
further risk-based provisions have been recorded in the UK and US. This is a prospective change in accounting estimate and
has resulted in a £39m expense in the first half of the year (2014: first half £nil; full-year £51m). 
 
1.9 Re-presentation of comparative information 
 
Discontinued operations 
 
The comparative information for the half-year ended 27 June 2014 has been re-presented to classify Parsons Brinckerhoff as
a discontinued operation. Refer to Notes 9 and 26. 
 
Rail Germany was reclassified from discontinued operations in the second half of 2014 and is now being presented as part of
the Group's non-underlying items within continuing operations. The Group has presented Rail Germany outside of underlying
items as it remains committed to exiting its Mainland European rail businesses as soon as possible and does not consider
its operations part of the Group's underlying activity. When initially classified as a discontinued operation in 2013 the
German business was being marketed to be sold as an entire unit. Subsequently it became apparent that this would not be
possible and disposal of part of the business was agreed in November 2014 and completed in January 2015. As a result, Rail
Germany did not satisfy the criteria under IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for it to
remain as a discontinued operation at 31 December 2014 and the comparative information for the half-year ended 27 June 2014
has been restated accordingly. Refer to Notes 9 and 26. 
 
Engineering Services 
 
The performance of external Engineering Services (ES) contracts linked to poor legacy management and in regions that ES has
withdrawn from tendering for third-party work were also classified as non-underlying items in the second half of 2014 as
the size and nature of the losses due to the problematic delivery of these contracts are exceptional and distort the
underlying performance of the Group. ES has stopped bidding external work in London, South East and the South West. At 26
June 2015, 10 of these contracts were still active, with the last of these contracts currently scheduled to complete in
March 2016. Separate disclosure of these contracts aids the reader's understanding of the underlying performance of the
remainder of the Group. Performance on these contracts including any claims recovery will be presented in non-underlying
items through to their completion. The comparative information for the half-year ended 27 June 2014 has been restated
accordingly. Refer to Note 26. 
 
Segmental analysis 
 
The Group no longer presents a Professional Services segment following the sale of Parsons Brinckerhoff on 31 October 2014
which constituted the vast majority of this segment. The remaining continuing operations, which were previously reported in
Professional Services and principally comprised the operations of Heery Inc., now report into Construction Services
management and consequently have been re-presented within the Construction Services segment. The comparative information
for the half-year ended 27 June 2014 has been restated accordingly.
