In light of the compulsory liquidation of Carillion and the impact on our
funding obligations in respect of the AWPR joint venture, we have reassessed
the out-turn position on the contract.  The withdrawal of Carillion increases
our participation in both costs and estimated recovery claims, and we have
increased our provision accordingly, which we have shown as an exceptional
item.

In May 2017, the Group released an update in respect of Group trading and
legacy contracts in Construction. This indicated that following a thorough
reappraisal of the costs to complete and recoveries from these contracts, it
was established that there was an increased anticipated liability to conclude
these contracts and consequently, a one-off charge of £98.3m had been
incurred, of which approximately 80% was related to two major infrastructure
joint venture projects (contracted in 2014 and earlier). One of these projects
is largely practically complete, while the other, which represents the larger
proportion of the estimated charge, is scheduled to complete in mid-2018. A

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the
Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the condensed consolidated half year financial
information. 
 
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing
these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made
by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources
of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. 
 
2    Accounting policies 
 
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied are consistent with
those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. 
 
(i)   Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate
that would be applicable to expected annual earnings. 
 
As announced in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2017, in 2016 the IFRS Interpretations Committee released an update in respect
of IAS32 'Financial instruments: presentation' specifically in relation to
offsetting and cash pooling. This clarified that in order to offset bank
account balances, an entity must have both a legally enforceable right and an
intention to do so. As the Group maintains separate bank accounts with both
cash and overdrawn balances, the Group's consolidated financial statements
have been prepared without offsetting these balances with positive cash
balances included within cash and cash equivalents (see note 12) and overdrawn
balances included within financial liabilities - current borrowings.  On a
consistent basis with this presentation at 31 December 2017, we have increased
both cash and cash equivalents and bank overdrafts by £942.2m at 30 June 2017.
The Group has restated its 31 December 2016 financial statements with the cash
and cash equivalent and bank overdrafts balances increasing by £1,084.3m. 
 
3  Segmental reporting 
 
Segmental reporting is presented in the condensed consolidated half year
financial statements in respect of the Group's business segments, which are
the primary basis of segmental reporting. The business segmental reporting
reflects the Group's management and internal reporting structure. Segmental
results include items directly attributable to the segment as well as those
that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. As the Group has no material
activities outside the UK, segment reporting is not required by geographical
region. 
 
The chief operating decision-makers ("CODM") have been identified as the
Group's Chief Executive and Finance Director. The CODM review the Group's
internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. 
Management has determined the operating segments as Linden Homes; Galliford
Try Partnerships and Regeneration; Construction, including Building and
Infrastructure; and PPP Investments. 
 
The CODM assess the performance of the operating segments based on a measure
of adjusted earnings before finance costs, amortisation, exceptional items and
taxation.  This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring
expenditure from the operating segments, such as restructuring costs and
impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring
event.  Interest income and expenditure are included in the result for each
operating segment that is reviewed by the CODM.  Other information provided to
them is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial
statements.

6  Income tax expenses

December 2016: 19.0%) reflects the estimated effective tax rate for the full
financial year to 30 June 2018.
 
7  Earnings per share
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable
to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year, excluding those held by the Employee Share Trust,
which are treated as cancelled.
 
Under normal circumstances, the average number of shares is diluted by
reference to the average number of potential ordinary shares held under option
in the period.  The dilutive effects amounts to the number of ordinary shares
which would be purchased using the aggregate difference in value between the
market value of shares and the share option price.  Only shares that have met
their cumulative performance criteria are included in the dilution
calculation.  The Group has two classes of potentially dilutive ordinary
shares: those share options granted to employees where the exercise price is
less than the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during the
year and the contingently issuable shares under the Group's long term
incentive plans.  A loss per share cannot be reduced through dilution, hence
this dilution is only applied where the Group has reported a profit.

The restatement in 2016 is explained in note 2.
 
In February 2014 the Group agreed a five-year £400m unsecured revolving
credit facility with HSBC Bank plc, Barclays Bank plc, The Royal Bank of
Scotland plc and Abbey National Treasury Services plc (Santander). In February
2015, the Group agreed a one-year extension on the facility, to 2020. In March
2016 the Group agreed an increase in the facility to £450m and in December
2016, the Group agreed a further two-year extension to February 2022. The
facility provides long-term finance and bonding facilities and is subject to
covenants over interest cover, gearing (adjusted to take account of
development land payables) and minimum consolidated tangible net assets.
Interest is calculated by aggregating margin, LIBOR and relevant costs.
 
In February 2017, the Group issued £100m ten year unsecured notes purchased
at a fixed rate of interest of 4.03% to investors advised by Pricoa Capital
Group, expiring in February 2027. The agreement provides long-term finance at
a fixed rate of interest and is subject to the same covenants as the revolving
credit facility above.

The principal actuarial assumptions used to calculate the liabilities as at 31
December 2017 have been set in a consistent manner to those adopted at 30 June
2017.  These assumptions will change as market conditions change over time.
 
An actuarial loss of £3.3m (31 December 2016: £9.7m; 30 June 2017: £5.0m)
has been taken to the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.
 
16  Financial instruments
 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The
condensed consolidated half year financial statements do not include all
financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual
financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group's
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.
 
There have been no significant changes in the risk management policies since
the year end.

Fair value estimation
 
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are defined
as:
i.        Level 1 - Quoted market prices or dealer quotes in active
markets for similar instruments.
ii.       Level 2 - The fair value of equity securities and interest
rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash
flows based on observable yield curves.
iii.      Level 3 - Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow
analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial
instruments.
 
The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value:

The director's valuation of our PPP portfolio at 30 June 2017 was £31.3m.
This valuation is performed on an annual basis.
 
There were no transfers between levels during the period.  The valuation
techniques used to derive Level 2 fair values are consistent with those set
out in the 30 June 2017 financial statements.  Level 3 fair values are
determined using valuation techniques that include inputs not based on
observable market data.

The valuation process for Level 3 is consistent with that disclosed in the 30
June 2017 audited report.
 
The key assumptions used in Level 3 valuations include future house price
movements, the expected timing of receipts, credit risk and discount rates.
The typical repayment period is 10-15 years and the timing of receipts is
based on historical data. The discount rate of 5.5% and future house price
movements used to compute the fair value (typically 2.5%) are based on local
market conditions.  If receipts were to occur earlier than expected, the fair
value would increase.
 
The total impact in the period of Level 3, taken to the income statement, is
£Nil (31 December 2016: £Nil; 30 June 2017: £Nil) in cost of sales and
£Nil (31 December 2016: £Nil; 30 June 2017: £Nil) in finance income.
 
17  Guarantees and contingent liabilities
 
Galliford Try plc has entered into financial guarantees and counter
indemnities in respect of bank and performance bonds issued in the normal
course of business on behalf of Group undertakings, including joint
arrangements and joint ventures, amounting to £361.8m (31 December 2016:
£353.6m; 30 June 2017 £353.3m).
 
Disputes arise in the normal course of business, some of which lead to
litigation or arbitration procedures.  The directors make proper provision in
the financial statements when they believe a liability exists.  While the
outcome of disputes and arbitration is never certain 48.7

Inter-segment revenue, which is priced on an arm's length basis, is eliminated
from Group revenue above.  In the half year to 31 December 2017 this amounted
to £38.6m (31 December 2016: £46.9m; 30 June 2017: £84.7m) of which £9.6m (31
December 2016: £18.4m; 30 June 2017: £28.0m) was in Building, £17.9m (31

In light of the compulsory liquidation of Carillion and the impact on our
funding obligations in respect of the AWPR joint venture, we have reassessed
the out-turn position on the contract.  The withdrawal of Carillion increases
our participation in both costs and estimated recovery claims, and we have
increased our provision accordingly, which we have shown as an exceptional
item.

In May 2017, the Group released an update in respect of Group trading and
legacy contracts in Construction. This indicated that following a thorough
reappraisal of the costs to complete and recoveries from these contracts, it
was established that there was an increased anticipated liability to conclude
these contracts and consequently, a one-off charge of £98.3m had been
incurred, of which approximately 80% was related to two major infrastructure
joint venture projects (contracted in 2014 and earlier). One of these projects
is largely practically complete, while the other, which represe, the directors believe
that the resolution of all existing actions will not have a material adverse
effect on the Group's financial position.

We have reviewed Galliford Try plc's condensed consolidated half year
financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the half year
report of Galliford Try plc for the 6 month period ended 31 December 2017.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,
'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.
 
What we have reviewed
 
The interim financial statements comprise:
 
·                 the condensed consolidated balance sheet as
at 31 December 2017;
·                 the condensed consolidated income statement
and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period
then ended;
·                 the condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows for the period then ended;
·                 the condensed consolidated statement of
changes in equity for the period then ended; and
·                 the explanatory notes to the interim
financial statements.
 
The interim financial statements included in the half year report have been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim
Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1 to the interim financial statements, the financial

What a review of interim financial statements involves
 
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 interim 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, 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.
We have read the other information contained in the half year report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

a)         The maintenance and integrity of the Galliford Try plc
website is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the
auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the
auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to
the interim financial statements since they were initially presented on the
website.
b)         Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other

proportion of the estimated charge, is scheduled to complete in mid-2018. A
charge of £87.9m in respect of these two projects was classified as an
exceptional item, comprising all costs and provisions for those projects in
the year. 
 
In March 2017, the Group announced that it had approached the Board of Bovis
Homes Group Plc (Bovis) and had proposed an all share merger 
 
between Galliford Try plc and Bovis. Subsequently, in April 2017, the Group
announced that this proposal was no longer being considered. During 
 
this period, £1.0m of professional fees were incurred in respect of the
proposal and these have been treated as an exceptional item.

6  Income tax expenses 
 
The taxation expense on pre-exceptional profit for the period of 17.9% (31
December 2016: 19.0%) reflects the estimated effective tax rate for the full
financial year to 30 June 2018. 
 
7  Earnings per share 
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable
to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year, excluding those held by the Employee Share Trust,
which are treated as cancelled. 
 
Under normal circumstances, the average number of shares is diluted by
reference to the average number of potential ordinary shares held under option
in the period.  The dilutive effects amounts to the number of ordinary shares
which would be purchased using the aggregate difference in value between the
market value of shares and the share option price.  Only shares that have met
their cumulative performance criteria are included in the dilution
calculation.  The Group has two classes of potentially dilutive ordinary
shares: those share options granted to employees where the exercise price is
less than the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during the
year and the contingently issuable shares under the Group's long term
incentive plans.  A loss per share cannot be reduced through dilution, hence
this dilution is only applied where the Group has reported a profit.

As stated in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017,
detailed impairment reviews were carried out for all business segments. 
Consideration has been given as to whether any events have occurred since the
year ended 30 June 2017 which would give rise to an impairment and none have
been identified.

The restatement in 2016 is explained in note 2. 
 
In February 2014 the Group agreed a five-year £400m unsecured revolving credit
facility with HSBC Bank plc, Barclays Bank plc, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc
and Abbey National Treasury Services plc (Santander). In February 2015, the
Group agreed a one-year extension on the facility, to 2020. In March 2016 the
Group agreed an increase in the facility to £450m and in December 2016, the
Group agreed a further two-year extension to February 2022. The facility
provides long-term finance and bonding facilities and is subject to covenants
over interest cover, gearing (adjusted to take account of development land
payables) and minimum consolidated tangible net assets. Interest is calculated
by aggregating margin, LIBOR and relevant costs. 
 
In February 2017, the Group issued £100m ten year unsecured notes purchased at
a fixed rate of interest of 4.03% to investors advised by Pricoa Capital
Group, expiring in February 2027. The agreement provides long-term finance at
a fixed rate of interest and is subject to the same covenants as the revolving
credit facility above.

The principal actuarial assumptions used to calculate the liabilities as at 31
December 2017 have been set in a consistent manner to those adopted at 30 June
2017.  These assumptions will change as market conditions change over time. 
 
An actuarial loss of £3.3m (31 December 2016: £9.7m; 30 June 2017: £5.0m) has
been taken to the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 
 
16  Financial instruments 
 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The
condensed consolidated half year financial statements do not include all
financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual
financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group's
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. 
 
There have been no significant changes in the risk management policies since
the year end.

Fair value estimation 
 
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are defined
as: 
 
i.        Level 1 - Quoted market prices or dealer quotes in active markets
for similar instruments. 
 
ii.       Level 2 - The fair value of equity securities and interest rate
swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows
based on observable yield curves. 
 
iii.      Level 3 - Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis,
are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. 
 
The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value:

The director's valuation of our PPP portfolio at 30 June 2017 was £31.3m. 
This valuation is performed on an annual basis. 
 
There were no transfers between levels during the period.  The valuation
techniques used to derive Level 2 fair values are consistent with those set
out in the 30 June 2017 financial statements.  Level 3 fair values are
determined using valuation techniques that include inputs not based on

The valuation process for Level 3 is consistent with that disclosed in the 30
June 2017 audited report. 
 
The key assumptions used in Level 3 valuations include future house price
movements, the expected timing of receipts, credit risk and discount rates.
The typical repayment period is 10-15 years and the timing of receipts is
based on historical data. The discount rate of 5.5% and future house price
movements used to compute the fair value (typically 2.5%) are based on local
market conditions.  If receipts were to occur earlier than expected, the fair
value would increase. 
 
The total impact in the period of Level 3, taken to the income statement, is
£Nil (31 December 2016: £Nil; 30 June 2017: £Nil) in cost of sales and £Nil
(31 December 2016: £Nil; 30 June 2017: £Nil) in finance income.
