The half-yearly accounts were approved by the Board of Directors on 20th November 2017, and are unaudited but have been
reviewed by the auditors. These condensed consolidated accounts do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of
section 435 of the Companies Act 2006, but have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34
─ 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. The
accounting policies applied are set out in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2017. None of the
amendments to standards and interpretations which the group has adopted during the period has had a material effect on the
reported results or financial position of the group. Information in respect of the year ended 31st March 2017 is derived
from the company's statutory accounts for that year which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's
report on those statutory accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying its report and did not contain any statement under sections 498(2) or
498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
IFRS 9 - 'Financial Instruments' will be adopted from 1st April 2018. The group's evaluation of the effect of this standard
is still ongoing but it is not currently anticipated that it will have a material effect on the reported results and
financial position of the group. 
 
IFRS 15 - 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' will be adopted from 1st April 2018. In the current period, further work
has been carried out through a detailed review of contracts generating revenue.  The review continues to support the
conclusion reached initially that IFRS 15 will not have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue
recognised.  Some impact is expected as a result of allocating revenue to various performance obligations and also as a
result of meeting IFRS 15's over time revenue recognition criteria.  Due to the insignificant impact of adopting IFRS 15,
the group has concluded that the modified retrospective transition option will be chosen.  An adjustment will be made to
equity to reflect the IFRS 15 impact on contracts which are open at the date of adoption. 
 
IFRS 16 - 'Leases' will be adopted from 1st April 2019. The effect on the reported results and financial position of the
group is still being evaluated.

The amortisation of intangible assets which arise on the acquisition of businesses, together with any subsequent impairment
of these intangible assets, is shown separately on the face of the income statement. It is excluded from underlying
operating profit. 
 
 6  Major impairment and restructuring charges          
                                                                
                                                                
 
 
As part of the group's operational efficiency program announced at 31st March 2017 a restructuring charge of £18.5 million
has been incurred in the period (nil in the six months ended 30th September 2016 and year ended 31st March 2017).  This
primarily relates to redundancies and business closures and can be split out by sector as follows: Efficient Natural
Resources £7.3 million, Health £1.7 million and New Markets £9.5 million.  Of the total £7.8 million relates to asset write
offs, £6.5 million to provisions and £4.2 million to cash costs incurred. 
 
                   
 7  Dividends    
                   
 
 
An interim dividend of 21.75 pence per ordinary share has been proposed by the board which will be paid on 6th February
2018 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 30th November 2017. The estimated amount to be paid is
£41.8 million and has not been recognised in these accounts.

 9  Precious metal operating leases    
                                       
 
 
The group leases, rather than purchases, precious metals to fund temporary peaks in metal requirements provided market
conditions allow. These leases are from banks for specified periods (typically a few months) and for which the group pays a
fee. These arrangements are classified as operating leases. The group holds sufficient precious metal inventories to meet
all the obligations under these lease arrangements as they fall due. At 30th September 2017 precious metal leases were
£222.8 million (30th September 2016 £79.8 million, 31st March 2017 £77.0 million). 
 
                               
 10  Contingent liabilities    
                               
 
 
A group company, Johnson Matthey Inc, has been made a defendant to a contract dispute lawsuit alongside a supplier to an
automotive OEM in the United States. The dispute relates to engine emission after treatment systems for which the group
supplied coated substrate as a component. The group does not believe it has warranty liability in respect of its supplies
of coated substrate for the after treatment systems in the affected engines and will vigorously defend its position in the
litigation. With respect to these legal proceedings, the group is currently unable to make a reliable estimate of the
expected financial effect, if any.

The group has updated the valuation of its main post-employment benefit plans, which are its UK and US pension plans and US
post-retirement medical benefits plan, at 30th September 2017.

Fair values are measured using a hierarchy where the inputs are: 
 
•     Level 1 ─  quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
 
•     Level 2 ─  not level 1 but are observable for that asset or liability either directly or indirectly. The fair values
are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows using appropriate market sourced data at the balance sheet
date. 
 
•     Level 3 ─  not based on observable market data (unobservable). 
 
   Financial instruments measured at fair value are:
