CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the half year ended 31st October 2017
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report that the pre-tax profit for the Group for the first six month period ending 31st October 2017 was 6.10 million (2016 : 6.05 million), an increase of 1% from a revenue of 61.89 million.
The current workload as at 31st October 2017 stands at 84 million, unchanged from 12 months ago. The order input for the first six months of this financial year is the same as for the same period last financial year. Due to the persistent low activity in the oil, gas and mining industries which is now into its third year, the Group had no alternative than to further reduce the labour force by 50 since April 2017 and the total number of Group employees now stands at 1,070.
Due to the further improvement on the refractory engineering side of our business, we expect to see the Group profitability for the second half of the year starting to move forward again especially as compared to the Group figures for the six months to 30th April 2017.
The pre-tax profit for the first half of this financial year benefitted from a gain of 1.61 million that was realised when Gold Star Powders India sold its one acre of land and factory facility it purchased in 2003 for 110,000. Gold Star Powders has now moved to the same site as Goodwin Pumps India and currently rents its building from Goodwin Pumps India who purchased three acres of land in 2005 for 325,000.
Considerable effort and focus on cash flow improvement is being made and, whilst the cash flow position at the half year is largely unchanged as compared to 30th April 2017, we expect to see a significant improvement by 30th April 2018.
Although the oil price is now just over US Dollar 60 per barrel and the iron ore price is similarly just over US Dollar 60 per tonne, there is little reason to expect an upturn in the release of orders for new capacity in these capital equipment needy markets until 2020. We are, however, not relying on an immediate upturn in these industries and have been focusing on trying to win business in nuclear recycling and decommissioning and processing of mining industry waste materials where our potential customers are receiving closer scrutiny by environmental agencies. 
An example of success here is the receipt in the first half of this financial year of aUSDollar 7.3 million order for large machined and fabricated stainless steel castings for the nuclear fuel decommissioning industry in the USA.

Turnover
Sales revenue of 61,893,000 for the half year represents an 11.4% decrease from the 69,889,000 achieved during the same period last year.
Profit Before Tax
Profit before tax for the six months of 6,108,000 is up 1.0% from the 6,047,000 achieved for the same six month period last year.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Group, mainly through its centralised management structure, makes best endeavours to have in place internal control procedures to identify and manage the key risks and uncertainties affecting the Group. We would refer you to page 8 of the Group Annual Accounts to 30th April 2017 which describes the principal risks and uncertainties, and to note 20 (page 52) which describes in detail the key financial risks and uncertainties affecting the business such as credit risk and foreign exchange risk.
Judging the future relationship of the major currency pairs of the US Dollar, Sterling and the Euro continues to be a challenge.
Report on Expected Developments
This report describes the expected developments of the Group during the year ended 30th April 2018. The report may contain forward-looking statements and information based on current expectations, and assumptions and forecasts made by the Group. These expectations and assumptions are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to substantial differences between the actual future results, financial performance and the estimates and historical results given in this report. 
Many of these factors are outside the Group's control. The Group accepts no liability to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements or adjust them to future events or developments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
2018/19 Outlook
Despite the continued shortage of work within our foundry, where we have been taking the opportunity of enhancing our facility and capacity in this quiet period of activity, we expect the Group overall to start showing improved profitability and cash flow by the financial year end 30th April 2018.
This improvement is a feature of a continued expansion of activity and profitability in the refractory engineering part of the Group especially in our eight companies that supply consumables to the jewellery casting industry which, in line with the world economy overall, is in a period of revival. The performance of these refractory companies has also been enhanced by the demise of our major world competitor based in the USA, who was the world leader 20 years ago. In September 2017 they finally closed their doors, which has resulted in a substantial surge in order input for our price-competitive, consistent products that we have developed a global reputation for supplying.
As mentioned in the year end accounts to 30th April 2017, excellent progress is being made in India where there is significant growth in the overall economy and our submersible pump company and jewellery investment powder company are expected to achieve record trading results for the year ending 30th April 2018. The results in our Indian submersible pump company are also benefitting from sales orders arriving from our newly formed pump company in South Africa, which we are pleased to report will make respectable profits and sales in its first full year of trading.
Going concern
The Group cash flow has deteriorated by a modest 333,000 since the start of the new financial year. As stated in previous half year reports it is not unusual for the Group to see a significant deteriorating cash flow picture in the first half of the financial year due to the impact of dividend payments, working capital movements and our capital expenditure programmes. The modest deterioration in our cash position to the current half year end bodes well for the full year end position and supports the comment already made on projected debt levels within the Chairman's Statement.
The Group's bank facilities are materially unchanged from those reported within the full year accounts. We would refer you in particular to Note 20.b) on page 53 of those accounts where you can see that our unutilised facilities are significant. Given the profitability of the Group, the modest gearing levels and the bank facilities available to it, the Directors have concluded that drawing up the accounts on a going concern basis is appropriate.
Responsibility statement of the Directors in respect of the half-yearly financial report
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that 1) this condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and that 2) the Interim Management Report and condensed financial statements include a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7R (being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year) and 4.2.8R (being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could do so).

Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Reporting entity
Goodwin PLC (the "Company") is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31st October 2017 comprise the Company, its subsidiaries, and the Group's interests in associates (together referred to as the "Group").
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2017 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Ivy House Foundry, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 3NR or via the Company's web site: www.goodwin.co.uk.
2. Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted in the EU. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30th April 2017.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th April 2017 are extracts and not the full Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Audit Committee has reviewed these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and has advised the Board of Directors that, taken as a whole, they are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's half year performance. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 18th December 2017.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2017. The following standards and amendments became effective and therefore were adopted by the Group.
 Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2014-2016 Cycle - minor amendments to IFRS 12 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017)
 Amendments to IAS 12 - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for unrealised losses (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017)
 Amendments to IAS 7 - Disclosure initiative (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017)
The Group has considered the impact of these new standards and interpretations in future periods on profit, earnings per share and net assets. None of the above standards or interpretations is expected to have a material impact. 
New IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted
The IASB and IFRIC have issued additional standards and amendments which are effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements. The following standards and amendments have not yet been adopted by the Group:
 Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2014-2016 Cycle - minor amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 28 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018)
 Amendments to IFRS 2 - Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018)

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 unaudited consolidated 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 audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30th April 2017.
The tax charge in the period is based on management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period, and the impact of any disallowed costs.
5. Business Segments
Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS8 "Operating Segments" the Group's reportable segments based on information reported to the Group's Board of Directors for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance are as follows:
 Mechanical Engineering  - casting, machining and general engineering
 Refractory Engineering  - powder manufacture and mineral processing

Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities fair values in the above table are derived using Level 2 inputs as defined by IFRS 7 as detailed in the paragraph below*. All other financial assets and financial liabilities fair values are determined using Level 3 inputs.
*IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three-level hierarchy: 
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); 
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
