The share premium account represents the difference between the issue price
and the nominal value of shares issued.
The capital redemption reserve relates to the repurchase and cancellation of
the Company's own shares.
The shares held by Employee Benefit Trust ("the EBT") reserve represents the
cost of shares in Hargreaves Lansdown plc purchased in the market and held by
the Hargreaves Lansdown plc Employee Benefit Trust to satisfy options under
the Group's share option schemes.
The EBT reserve represents the cumulative gain on disposal of investments held
by the Hargreaves Lansdown EBT. The reserve is not distributable by the
Hargreaves Lansdown Plc as the assets and liabilities of the EBT are subject
to management by the Trustees in accordance with the EBT trust deed.
Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are
identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Non-controlling
interests consist of the minority's proportion of the net fair value of the
assets and liabilities acquired at the date of the original business
combination and the non-controlling interest's change in equity since that
date. The non-controlling interest represents a 22% shareholding in Library
Information Services Limited, a subsidiary of the Company.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of preparation
The Interim Financial Statements for the six months to 31 December 2015 have
been prepared using accounting policies in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and in
accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim
Financial Reporting and theDisclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. The Interim Financial
Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the
revaluation of certain financial instruments, and are presented in pounds
sterling which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the Group operates. Having reassessed the principal risks, the directors
considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
Interim financial statements.
The financial information contained in these Interim Financial Statements does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. However, the information has been reviewed by the
company's auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and their report appears
earlier in this document. The financial information for the year ended 30
June 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements of Hargreaves
Lansdown plc for that year, which have been reported on by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
Copies are available on-line at www.hl.co.uk. The auditor's report on those
accounts was not qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to
which the auditor drew attention by the way of emphasis without qualifying the
report and did not contain statements under section 498 (2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 2006.
The same accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation have
been followed in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements for the
six months ended 31 December 2015 as were applied in the Audited Annual
Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.
2. Seasonality of operations
A high proportion of the Group's revenue is derived from the value of assets
under administration or management in either the Vantage Service or the
Portfolio Management Service (PMS). The values of these assets are influenced
predominantly by new business volumes, the stock market and client
withdrawals. Of these factors, new business within Vantage tends to be
seasonal with greater inflows in the second half of the financial year between
January and June. This can be attributed to the timing of the UK tax year-end
and the fact that many individuals review their investments around this time.
The receipt of new business into PMS is less seasonal than this as a result of
being distributed through our Financial Advisers. In this instance, the inflow
of business is also influenced by the timing of when advisers meet with
clients.
As new business only accounts for a small proportion of asset values and
because of other revenue streams and market effects, overall Group net revenue
is less seasonal than new business inflows. In the year ended 30 June 2015,
51% of revenue was earned during the second half of the year.
3. Segment information
The Group is organised into three business segments, namely the Vantage
division, the Discretionary and Managed division and the Third Party/Other
Services division. This is based upon the Group's internal organisation and
management structure and is the primary way in which the Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM) is provided with financial information. The CODM has
been identified as the Board Executive Committee.
The 'Vantage' division represents all activities relating to our direct to
private investor platform.
The 'Discretionary and Managed' division is focused on the provision of
managed services such as our Portfolio Management Service (PMS) and range of
Multi-Manager funds.
The 'Third Party/Other Services' division includes activities relating to the
broking of third party investments and pensions, certificated share dealing
and other niche services such as currency, CFDs and spread betting. In this
division, clients' investments are not administered within the Group.
The 'Group' segment contains items that are shared by the Group as a whole and
cannot be reasonably allocated to other operating segments.
Segment expenses are those that are directly attributable to a segment
together with the relevant portion of other expenses that can reasonably be
allocated to the segment. Gains or losses on the disposal of
available-for-sale investments, investment income, interest payable and tax
are not allocated by segment.
Segment assets and liabilities include items that are directly attributable to
a segment plus an allocation on a reasonable basis of shared items. Corporate
assets and liabilities are not included in business segments and are thus
unallocated. At 31 December 2015 and 2014, these comprise cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, tax-related and other assets or
liabilities.
Consolidation adjustments relate to the elimination of inter-segment revenues,
balances and investments in group subsidiaries required on consolidation.
PMS platform is provided for Vantage products hence platform fees charged by
PMS is included under the Vantage segment.

Information about products/services
The Group's operating segments are business units that provide different
products and services. The breakdown of revenue from external customers for
each type of service is therefore the same as the segmental analysis above.
Information about geographical area
All business activities are located within the UK.
Information about major customers
The Group does not rely on any individual customer.
4. Material events after interim period-end
After the interim balance sheet date, an ordinary interim dividend of 7.8
pence per share (H1 2015: interim dividend 7.3p) amounting to a total dividend
of £36.9 million (2015: £34.4m) was declared by the plc Directors. These
financial statements do not reflect this dividend payable.
There have been no other material events after the end of the interim period.
5. Changes in capital expenditure and capital commitments since the
last annual balance sheet date
Capital expenditure
During the six months ended 31 December 2015, the Group acquired property,
plant, equipment and software assets with a cost of £3.3 million (H1 2015:
£2.4m, year to 30 June 2015: £5.5m).
Capital commitment
At the balance sheet date, the Group had capital commitments of £0.8 million
(31 December 2014: £nil, 30 June 2015: £1.6m).
6. Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties which could impact the Group for the
remainder of the financial year are those detailed on pages 26 to 27 of the
Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2015, a copy of which is
available on the Group's website www.hl.co.uk. These remain the principal
risks and uncertainties for the second half of this financial year and beyond;
the key ones of which are listed below and they are regularly considered by
the Board.
Operational risks
· Cybercrime, fraud or security breaches in respect of the Group's
information, data, software or information technology systems.
· Business continuity event.
· Changing markets and increased competition.
Financial risks
· Risk of a decline in earnings due to a decline in interest rates or
regulatory changes affecting interest income.
· Fluctuations in the capital markets adversely affecting trading
activity and /or the value of the Group's assets under administration.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, the risk of sustaining losses from
adverse movements in interest bearing assets. These assets comprise cash and
cash equivalents. At 31 December 2015 the value of such assets on the Group
balance sheet was £182 million (at 31 December 2014: £154m). A 50bps (0.5%)
move in interest rates, in isolation, would therefore, not have a material
impact on the Group balance sheet or results. This exposure is continually
monitored to ensure that the Group is maximizing its interest earning
potential within accepted liquidity and credit constraints. The Group has no
external borrowings and as such is not exposed to interest rate or refinancing
risk on borrowings.
As a source of revenue is based on the value of client cash under
administration, the Group also has an indirect exposure to interest rate risk
on cash balances held for clients. These balances are disclosed in Note 15 and
are not on the Group balance sheet.
7. Staff numbers
Unaudited6 months ended 31 December2015 No. Unaudited6 months ended 31 December2014 No. Audited Year to 30 June 2015 No.
Average number of employees of the Group
(including executive directors) 964 881 910
8. Revenue
Revenue represents income receivable from financial services provided to
clients, interest income on client money and management fees charged to
clients. It relates to services provided in the UK and is stated net of value
added tax. An analysis of the Group's revenue is as follows:

of funds data services and research through Library Information Services Ltd
to external parties.
