The transaction costs arose mainly on the acquisitions of VAS, Firetrace USA, LLC (Firetrace), Visiometrics, and CenTrak.The £827,000 charge in the Infrastructure Safety sector related to a revision in the estimate of the remaining contingent consideration payable on Advanced Electronics Limited (Advanced). The £826,000 charge in the Medical sector related to exchange differences arising on the revaluation of Visiometric's contingent consideration which is denominated in Euros. The remaining £111,000 credit
to contingent consideration related to a revision in the estimate of the remaining payable on a prior year acquisition (ASL) from £197,000 to £86,000. The release of fair value adjustments to inventory arose from revaluing the inventories of Firetrace and CenTrak at acquisition. The £590,000 profit on disposal in the Medical sector relates to the disposal of 8.8% of the Group's ownership interest in Optomed Oy (Optomed).

* Adjustments include the amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets; acquisition items; restructuring costs; and profit or loss on disposal of
operations. The Group's future Effective Tax Rate (ETR) will mainly depend on the geographic mix of profits and whether there are any changes to tax legislation in the
Group's most significant countries of operations. Phased reductions in the UK corporation tax rate to 19% (from 1 April 2017) and 17% (from 1 April 2020) have been
substantively enacted which we would expect to impact the ETR in due course. In the US, proposed tax reform measures include a reduction in the US corporate income tax
rate from 35% to as low as 15%. The US rate change is a proposal only at this stage and the Group is actively monitoring developments to evaluate its potential impact. No
reliable estimate of the impact of these tax reform proposals can be made at this time. The Group does not expect the future rate to be materially impacted by the changes
to the international tax landscape resulting from the package of measures developed under the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project and the investigations and
proposals of the European Commission.
6 Earnings per ordinary share Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share are calculated using the weighted average of 378,685,730 shares in issue during the year (net of shares purchased by the Company and held as Own shares) (2016: 378,412,359). There are no dilutive or potentially dilutive ordinary shares.Adjusted earnings are calculated as earnings from continuing operations excluding the amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets; acquisition items; restructuring costs; profit or loss
on disposal of operations; and the associated taxation thereon. The Directors consider that adjusted earnings, which constitute a non-GAAP measure, represent a more consistent measure of underlying performance. A reconciliation of earnings and the effect on basic and diluted earnings per share figures is as follows:

The proposed final dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 20 July 2017 and has not been included as a liability in these financial statements.The Company offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ('DRIP') to enable shareholders to elect to have their cash dividends reinvested in Halma shares. Shareholders who wish to elect for the DRIP for the forthcoming final dividend, but have not already done so, should return a DRIP mandate form to the Company's Registrars no later
than 26 July 2017.
8 Acquisitions In accounting for acquisitions, adjustments are made to the book values of the net assets of the companies acquired to reflect their fair values to the Group. Acquired inventories are valued at fair value adopting Group bases and any liabilities for warranties relating to past trading are recognised. Other previously unrecognised assets and liabilities at acquisition are included and accounting policies are aligned with those of the Group where appropriate.Below are summaries of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed and the purchase consideration of:a) the total of FluxData Inc. and adjustments to prior year acquisitions;b) FluxData Inc., on a stand-alone basis;c) the adjustments to prior year acquisitions, on a stand-alone basis; andd) the total of FluxData Inc. and adjustments to prior year acquisitions, allocated between restated and not restated.Due to their contractual dates, the fair value of receivables acquired (shown below) approximate to the gross contractual
amounts receivable. The amount of gross contractual receivables not expected to be recovered is immaterial. There are no material contingent liabilities recognised in accordance with paragraph 23 of IFRS 3 (revised).The combined fair value adjustments made for the acquisition of FluxData and for prior year acquisitions within the goodwill measurement window under IFRS 3, excluding acquired intangible assets recognised and deferred tax thereon, resulted in net adjustments to goodwill of negative £541,000.As
at the date of approval of the financial statements, the acquisition accounting for all prior year acquisitions is complete. The accounting for FluxData is provisional; relating to finalisation of the valuation of acquired intangibles and the initial consideration, which is subject to agreement of the net tangible asset adjustment.

The Group acquired the entire share capital of FluxData Inc. on 6 January 2017 for an initial cash consideration of US$12,000,000 (£9,878,000). The maximum contingent consideration payable is US$15,500,000 (£12,759,000). The current provision of US$11,428,000 (£9,407,000) represents the fair value of the estimated payable based on performance to date and the expectation of future cash flows. The earn out is payable on gross margin in excess of a target threshold for the period ending March 2017 and then
annually until March 2019. FluxData designs and manufactures advanced multispectral and digital imaging systems across multiple sectors including industrial and medical applications. Based in New York State, USA, it has become part of the Environmental & Analysis sector, building on the existing multispectral imaging capabilities within those companies. Existing management will remain in place.The excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquired is represented by
customer related intangibles of £7,240,000; and technology related intangibles of £6,250,000; with residual goodwill arising of £4,942,000. The goodwill represents: a) the technical expertise of the acquired workforce;b) the ability to exploit the Group's existing customer base; and c) the opportunity to leverage the technical expertise across Halma's businesses and through new products.The FluxData acquisition contributed £1,017,000 of revenue and £213,000 of profit after tax for the year ended 1
April 2017. If this acquisition had been held since the start of the financial year, it is estimated that the Group's reported revenue and profit after tax would have been £3,518,000 and £928,000 higher respectively.£17,798,000 of goodwill arising on the FluxData acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

During the year adjustments were made to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities included in the provisional accounting for the prior year acquisitions of Firetrace, Visiometrics and CenTrak.The provisional accounting was updated for the external valuation of the acquired intangibles of CenTrak which was incomplete at the prior year end, for changes to certain provisions and inventory valuations across all three acquisitions, and for adjustments to the related deferred tax balances. The initial
consideration for CenTrak was also adjusted following the finalisation of the working capital adjustment payable. The combined adjustments made for each acquisition resulted in a net adjustment to goodwill of £1,803,000. The net increase of £3,851,000 in intangible assets arising on the acquisition of CenTrak included a decrease in the technology asset by £7,198,000 and an increase in the customer relationship asset and trademark asset by £4,851,000 and £6,198,000 respectively.All adjustments to the
provisional accounting were made within the goodwill measurement period, relevant to each acquisition, as defined by IFRS 3 (revised) Business Combinations. As required by IFRS 3, comparatives have been restated to reflect the changes to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for CenTrak which, totalling a net adjustment to goodwill of negative £2,134,000, are considered material, as if they'd occurred at the date of acquisition. The comparatives have not been restated for the non
-material changes to Firetrace and Visiometrics, totalling a net adjustment to goodwill of £331,000. The table below sets out the total assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising on current acquisitions and adjustments to prior year acquisitions split between those which have been treated as current year adjustments and those as prior year for which comparatives have been restated.

9 Disposal of operations and restructuring During the year the Group restructured non-core operations in its subsidiary, Pixelteq. The £1,910,000 loss on restructuring included in operating profit comprises fixed asset and inventory write downs and severance costs. The total profit on disposal of operations shown in the prior year of £556,000 comprises a charge of £34,000 related to the previous disposal of Monitor Elevator Products, Inc arising from a claim under the warranty arrangement, and £590,000
credit for the partial disposal of shares in the Group's associate, Optomed. The Group disposed of 9,176 shares in Optomed, representing 8.8% of its ownership interest in the associate. Consideration received was E1,236,000 (£907,000). Further details are provided on page 158 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2016.

Adjustments include the amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets; acquisition items; restructuring costs; and
profit or loss on disposal of operations.3 Includes goodwill amortised prior to 3 April 2004 and goodwill taken to reserves.*
Comparatives have been restated as described in note 8.
Organic growthOrganic growth measures the change in revenue and profit from continuing Group operations. This measure equalises the effect of acquisitions by:i. removing from the year of acquisition their entire revenue and profit before taxation, andii. in the following year, removing the revenue and profit for the number of months equivalent to the pre-acquisition period in the prior year.The resultant effect is that the acquisitions are removed from organic results for one full year of ownership.The
results of disposals are removed from the prior period reported revenue and profit before taxation. The effects of currency changes are removed through restating the current year revenue and profit before taxation at the prior year exchange rates. Organic growth at constant currency has been calculated for the Group as follows:
