Notes to the financial statements

1 Segmental information

The Group's operations are organised and managed separately according to the
nature of the services provided, with each segment representing a strategic
business unit offering a different package of related services across the
Group's markets. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the
reportable operating segments below. The information disclosed below represents
the way in which the results of the businesses were reported to the Group
Board.  The reported segmental structure has been changed in the year and
therefore the comparatives have been restated accordingly.

Before eliminating sales between business units on consolidation, the Group
accounts for sales between business units as if they were to a third party at
market rates.

The tables below present revenue and result for the Group's business segments
for the years 2015 and 2014. All operations are continuing. The 2014
consolidated income statement has not been restated for the impact of business
exits and  other non-underlying items. If the 2014 underlying consolidated
income statement was restated, revenue would be reduced by £192.8m and profit
before tax would reduce by £10.9m.

2 Business exit

With the continued growth of Capita across our target markets and a greater
focus on technology enabled solutions, we have reviewed a number of small low
growth businesses which lack strategic fit and taken the decision to exit
certain small health businesses and disposed of National Dental Plan Limited.
In addition, the Group is in an active process to sell a further specialist
insurance business, a health business and a justice business and is therefore
treating these businesses as a disposal group held for sale. Since the year
end, the health business has been sold (note 11) and the sale of the remaining
two businesses is expected to complete in the next 12 months.

None of our 2015 business exits or businesses in the process of being exited
meet the definition of "discontinued operations" as stipulated by IFRS 5, which
requires disclosure and comparatives to be restated where the relative size of
a disposal or business closure is significant, which is normally understood to
mean a reported segment. Accordingly, the separate presentation described below
does not fall within the requirements of IFRS 5 concerning discontinued
operations and comparatives have not been restated.

Analysed above are non-trading administrative expenses which include cash costs
from exiting the disposed businesses, the ongoing stranded costs such as
property and redundancy payments and impairment losses recognised in the
disposal group. The provision in respect of disposal/closure costs is expected
to be utilised over 3 years.

The other assets impairment charge of £23.5m includes £14.1m of provisions for
certain debtors unlikely to be recovered, mainly being in relation to a
customer that entered administration during the year.

There are no cumulative income or expenses included in Other Comprehensive
Income relating to the disposal group.

Where an asset has been presented as being held for sale it must be carried at
the value that is expected to be recovered through sale.  In the table above
the amounts for goodwill impairment and other assets impairment represent the
reduction in the carrying value of these assets.  The carrying value of the
assets and liabilities of the disposal group held for sale are shown overleaf.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

As a result of changes in the marketplace, including the introduction of new
legislation in the form of the Pensions Freedom Act, Management conducted a
review of the IT platform on which the Group delivers its Life and Pensions
administration capability.  This review led to assets with a total net book
value of £76.7m being fully written down.

Impairment of goodwill

The impairment of goodwill is in relation to the Group's insurance business,
which historically has been the most sensitive to changes in the underlying
assumptions in calculating its value in use and thus its carrying value on the
Group's balance sheet.  Having reviewed the business, the assumptions and in
light of disposals made and to be made, it was determined that goodwill
exceeded the value that was recoverable through use and consequently has been
impaired by £28.3m.

Xchanging transaction

The Xchanging transaction relates to the net gain on sale of our 9.9% Xchanging
holding (purchased during 2015).

5 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the
year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit
for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the
conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted
earnings per share computations:

The earnings per share figures are calculated based on underlying earnings
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent of £468.4m (2014: £
429.3m) and, after non-underlying costs, earnings of £52.7m (2014: £235.9m).
They are both included to provide a better understanding of the trading
performance of the Group.

"Public sector subsidiary partnership" represents a 75% controlling interest in
Fera Science Limited. In all other cases 100% of the share capital or business
assets and liabilities was acquired. The businesses acquired have been mainly
in the areas of IT and software, customer and debt management, mortgage
administration, and property services, which complement or extend the Group's
existing skill sets and provide opportunities for growth into these markets. In
addition during the year the Group settled £32.1m of contingent consideration
and £11.6m of deferred consideration payments with regard to previous
acquisitions, all of which had been accrued.

Goodwill has arisen on the acquisitions because the fair value of the acquired
assets was lower than the consideration paid; the goodwill represents the value
to the Group that can be driven from these underlying assets over the life of
the acquired businesses, particularly from synergies, and the capabilities of
the acquired workforce. The total amount of goodwill recognised in the period
that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is £44.4m (2014: £9.6m).

Contingent consideration

In respect of the acquisitions made in 2015, the Group has agreed to pay the
vendors additional consideration dependent on the achievement of performance
targets in the periods post acquisition. These performance periods are of up to
3 years in duration and will be settled in cash and loan notes on their payment
date on achieving the relevant target. The range of the additional
consideration payment is estimated to be between £5m and £22m. The Group has
included £12.9m as contingent consideration related to the additional
consideration, which represents its fair value at the acquisition date.
Contingent consideration has been calculated based on the Group's expectation
of what it will pay in relation to the post-acquisition performance of the
acquired entities by weighting the probability of a range of payments to give
an estimate of the final obligation.

Acquisition related costs

The Group incurred acquisition related costs of £16.2m related to professional
fees paid for due diligence, general professional fees and legal related costs.
These costs have been included in non-underlying administrative expenses in the
Group's consolidated income statement.
