being the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period after excluding the shares owned by the Man Employee Trusts.
For diluted EPS, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares, being ordinary shares of 1,694,811,481 (H1 2015: 1,728,015,531). The decrease in the weighted
average number of shares relates to the execution of the share repurchase in the latter part of H1 2015. 
 
The reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares is provided below:

Allocation of goodwill to cash generating units and calculation of recoverable amounts 
 
The Group has identified four cash generating units (CGUs) for impairment review purposes: AHL, GLG, FRM and Numeric. 
 
Goodwill must be tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amounts of the Group's CGUs are assessed each year using a value in use
calculation. 
 
An assessment of the key assumptions used in the value in use calculation for each CGU has been undertaken at 30 June 2016.
Despite recent market volatility and uncertainty, including the impact of the UK's vote to leave the European Union, and
weak performance for GLG in H1 2016, the directors consider that given the short time period elapsed there is not currently
sufficient evidence to suggest a change in key assumptions is required. The directors will continue to monitor this
throughout the remainder of the year. 
 
AHL cash generating unit 
 
For the six months to 30 June 2016, AHL's FUM is largely in line with that modelled in the value in use calculation at 31
December 2015. As there was significant headroom as at 31 December 2015, it was deemed that there were no indicators of
impairment. 
 
GLG cash generating unit 
 
For the six months to 30 June 2016, GLG's FUM is lower than the modelled FUM in the value in use calculation at 31 December
2015 as a result of lower than forecast performance and net flows. Therefore, the directors consider it appropriate to
lower their H2 2016 flows assumption in order to incorporate the most recent outlook. The forecast cost base of GLG has
decreased due to the more favourable Pounds Sterling to US Dollar exchange rate and lower variable compensation costs as a
result of the decrease in forecast net revenue. Given the headroom of $269 million at 31 December 2015 and the overall
balance of movements in the GLG CGU since 31 December 2015, it was deemed that there were no significant changes in the key
assumptions and hence no indicators of impairment. 
 
FRM cash generating unit 
 
For the six months to 30 June 2016, as FRM's FUM and margins are largely in line with that modelled in the value in use
calculation at 31 December 2015 and forecast fixed costs have decreased due to a more favourable Pounds Sterling to US
Dollar exchange rate, it was deemed that there were no indicators of impairment. 
 
Numeric cash generating unit 
 
For the six months to 30 June 2016, Numeric's FUM and costs are slightly lower than that modelled in the value in use
calculation at 31 December 2015. As margins are largely as expected, it was deemed that there were no indicators of
impairment. 
 
Despite there being no indication of impairment of the Numeric CGU, the fair value of the Numeric contingent consideration
creditor has decreased by $12 million in the period (Note 2). Numeric FUM is slightly lower than the forecast at 31
December 2015, hence the reduction in the contingent consideration creditor, however is higher than the original forecast
at the acquisition date (on which the Numeric goodwill value was determined). 
 
14.   Cash, liquidity and borrowings 
 
Cash and cash equivalents at period end comprises $193 million (31 December 2015: $250 million) of cash at bank on hand,
$191 million (31 December 2015: $336 million) in short-term deposits and $50 million in treasury bills (31 December 2015:
$nil). In addition, $43 million (31 December 2015: $21m) of cash at bank on hand held on the balance sheet relates to the
cash and cash equivalents held by funds which have been consolidated into the Group at 30 June 2016 (Note 15). 
 
Total liquidity resources were $1,434 million at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: $1,586 million) and comprised cash and
cash equivalents of $434 million (31 December 2015: $586 million), and the undrawn committed revolving credit facility of
$1,000 million (31 December 2015: $1,000 million). 
 
During the period the maturity date of the $1 billion revolving credit facility was extended to June 2021, with one further
one year extension option remaining. 
 
During 2014 the Group issued $150 million ten year fixed rate reset callable guaranteed subordinated notes (Tier 2 notes),
with associated issuance costs of $1 million. The Tier 2 notes were issued with a fixed coupon of 5.875% until 15 September
2019. The notes may be redeemed in whole at the Group's option in September 2019 at their principal amount, subject to FCA
approval. If the notes are not redeemed at this time then the coupon will reset to the five year mid-swap rate plus 4.076%
and the notes will be redeemed in September 2024 at their principal amount. 
 
The net cash position, excluding cash relating to consolidated fund entities of $43 million (Note 15), at 30 June 2016 was
$434 million, compared to $586 million at 31 December 2015. The movement in cash is analysed in the cash flow statement.
The decrease of $152 million in net cash position during the period is primarily the result of the payment of the final
dividend for 2015 of $83 million and a decrease in working capital of $115 million largely due to payment of the 2015
bonuses, partially offset by cash profits generated during the period. 
 
The following table summarises the Group's available liquidity at the end of the period:

Other investments in fund products, excluding those which are held against outstanding deferred compensation arrangements,
relate to seeding investments made to grow the business as we launch new products. 
 
Seed capital invested into funds may at times be significant, and therefore the fund may be deemed to be controlled by the
Group. Where the Group acquired the controlling stake and actively markets the products to third party investors, allowing
the Group to redeem their share,and it is considered highly probable that it will relinquish control within a year, the
investment in the controlled fund is classified as held for sale. 
 
The seeded funds are recognised in the Group balance sheet as non-current assets and liabilities held for sale, with the
interests of any other parties included within non-current liabilities held for sale. 
 
The non-current assets and liabilities held for sale are as follows: 
 
 $m                                          At 30 June 2016  At 31 December 2015  
 Non-current assets held for sale            213              188                  
 Non-current liabilities held for sale       (106)            (69)                 
 Investments in fund products held for sale  107              119                  
 
 
If a held for sale fund remains under the control of the Group for more than one year, and it is unlikely that the Group
will reduce or no longer control its investment in the short-term, it will cease to be classified as held for sale and will
be consolidated on a line-by-line basis. There are two investments previously classified as held for sale at 31 December
2015 which have been consolidated on a line by line basis at 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: nil). 
 
Seed investments which are controlled and where it is not expected that control will be relinquished within one year from
the date of initial investment relate to five funds at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: three, H1 2015: one), which have
therefore been consolidated on a line-by-line basis as follows: 
 
 $m                                                     At 30 June 2016  At 31 December 2015

Level 1, 2 and 3 financial assets and liabilities are defined in Note 28 to the financial statements in the 2015 Annual
Report. 
 
During the period, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affected the fair value
of Man's financial assets and no significant transfers of financial assets or liabilities held at fair value between
categories. 
 
The basis of measuring the fair value of investments in fund products is outlined in Note 16 in the Annual Report for the
year ended 31 December 2015. 
 
The movements in Level 3 financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

The financial liabilities in Level 3 relate to the contingent consideration payable at 30 June 2016, largely relating to
the former owners of Numeric ($159 million), with the remaining $21 million relating to contingent consideration for other
smaller acquisitions. 
 
For Numeric the contingent consideration relates to an ongoing 18.3% equity interest in Numeric held by management in the
business and profit interests of 15.5%, pursuant to a call and put option arrangement. The call and put options structure
means that it is virtually certain that Man will elect to, or be obliged to, purchase the interests held by Numeric
management at five (call option) or five and a half (put option) years post-closing. The maximum aggregate amount payable
by Man in respect of the option consideration is capped at $275 million. 
 
The fair values are based on discounted cash flow calculations, which represent the expected future profits of each
business as per the earn-out arrangements. The fair values are determined using a combination of inputs, such as weighted
average cost of capital, net management fee margins, performance, operating margins and the growth in FUM, as applicable.
The discount rates applied are 11% for management fees and 17% for performance fees. 
 
The most significant inputs into the valuations at 30 June 2016 are as follows: 
 
                                             Numeric  
 Weighted average net management fee margin  0.5%     
 Compound growth in average FUM              12%      
 
 
Changes in inputs would result in the following increase/(decrease) of the contingent consideration creditor at 30 June
2016: 
 
                                                   
 Weighted average net management fee margin        
 0.1% increase                               35    
 0.1% decrease                               (35)  
 Compound growth in average FUM                    
 1% increase                                 5     
 1% decrease                                 (5)   
 
 
20.   Other matters 
 
Man Group is subject to various other claims, assessments, regulatory enquiries and investigations in the normal course of
its business. The directors do not expect such matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
Group.

Union. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the
half-yearly financial report based on our review. 
 
Scope of review 
 
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 inquiries, 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 Ireland)
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. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
