6. Earnings per ordinary share
Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period available for IHG equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, excluding investment in own shares, in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per
ordinary share is calculated by adjusting basic earnings per ordinary share to reflect the notional impact of the weighted average number of dilutive ordinary share awards outstanding during the period. Adjusted earnings per ordinary share is disclosed in
order to show performance undistorted by exceptional items, to give a more meaningful comparison of the Group's performance.

Equity securities available-for-sale and derivatives are held in the Group statement of financial position at fair value as set out below. The fair value of loans and receivables approximates book value based on prevailing market rates. The fair value of
the £250m and £400m bonds is based on their quoted market price. The fair value of finance lease obligations is calculated by discounting future cash flows at prevailing interest rates. The fair value of other borrowings approximates book value as
interest rates reset to market rates on a frequent basis. The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the above assets and liabilities, other than those with carrying amounts which are reasonable approximations of their fair
values. Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.Level
3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The Level 2 derivatives consist of currency swaps which are valued using data from
observable swap curves, adjusted to take account of the Group's own credit risk. The
Level 3 equity securities relate to investments in unlisted shares which are valued
either by applying an average price-earnings (P/E) ratio for a competitor group to
the earnings generated by the investment, or by reference to share of net assets.
The average P/E ratio used for the period was 25.0 and a non-marketability factor of
30% is applied. A 10% increase in the average P/E ratio would result in a $5m
increase in the fair value of the investments and a 10% decrease in the average P/E
ratio would result in a $5m decrease in the fair value of the investments. A 10%
increase in net assets would result in a $5m increase in the fair value of
investments and a 10% decrease in net assets would result in a $5m decrease in the
fair value of the investments. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
fair value measurements during the period and no transfers into and out of Level 3.

12. Commitments and contingencies
At 30 June 2014, the amount contracted for but not provided for in the financial statements for expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was $128m (2013 31 December $83m; 30 June $63m). The Group has also committed to invest up
to $97m in four investments accounted for under the equity method, of which $43m had been spent at 30 June 2014. In addition, the Group has outstanding loan commitments to these equity investments of $27m at 30 June 2014. At 30 June 2014, the Group had
contingent liabilities of $46m (2013 31 December $nil; 30 June $2m), largely related to amendments to management agreement contractual obligations. In limited cases, the Group may provide performance guarantees to third-party hotel owners to secure
management contracts. The maximum unprovided exposure under such guarantees is $51m (2013 31 December $48m; 30 June $47m). In limited cases, the Group may guarantee bank loans made to facilitate third-party ownership of hotels in which the Group has an
equity interest and also a management contract. At 30 June 2014, there were guarantees of $20m in place (2013 31 December $20m; 30 June $20m). From time to time, the Group is subject to legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of each being always subject
to many uncertainties inherent in litigation. In particular, the Group is currently subject to class action law suits in the US. The Group has also given warranties in respect of the disposal of certain of its former subsidiaries. It is the view of the
Directors that, other than to the extent that liabilities have been provided for in these financial statements, it is not possible to quantify any loss to which these proceedings or claims under these warranties may give rise, however, as at the date of
reporting, the Group does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material effect on the Group's financial position.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP PLC
Introduction We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2014 which comprises the Group income statement, Group statement of comprehensive income, Group statement of changes in equity, Group statement of financial position, Group statement of cash flows and the related notes 1 to 12. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) , 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed. Directors' Responsibilities The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with
IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union. Our Responsibility Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with
International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of half-yearly financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects,
in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. Ernst & Young LLP London 4 August 2014
