Notes to the condensed financial statements 
 
1.   Corporate information 
 
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2014 has been reviewed by the auditor, but not audited.
The information for the year ended 31 December 2013 shown in this report does not constitute statutory accounts for that
year as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered
to the Registrar of Companies.  The auditor has reported on those accounts.  Their report was unqualified, did not draw
attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies
Act 2006. 
 
The comparative information for the period ended 30 June 2013 in these interim financial statements has been restated to
include the results and cash flows of Crosby and Acco, previously disclosed within the Lifting segment, and Harris,
previously disclosed within the Other Industrial segment, within discontinued operations, and exclude them from continuing
operations. 
 
2.   Summary of significant accounting policies 
 
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2014, which has been approved by a committee of the
Board of Directors on 28 August 2014, has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's 2013
Annual Report and financial statements on pages 98 to 106. The Group's 2013 Annual Report and financial statements can be
found on the Group's website www.melroseplc.net.  These interim financial statements should therefore be read in
conjunction with the 2013 information.  The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial
information have been consistently applied to all periods presented. The annual financial statements are prepared in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34: "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. 
 
Adoption of new accounting standards 
 
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Group has adopted relevant standards and amendments with no material impact on its results, assets and liabilities. 
 
Going concern 
 
The Group's business activities in the period, together with the factors likely to affect its future development,
performance and position are set out in the Chief Executive's review. 
 
The Group's principal risks and uncertainties are unchanged from 2013, as discussed in the Finance Director's review. These
are set out in more detail on pages 36 to 39 in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2013. 
 
After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis
in preparing these interim financial statements. 
 
3.   Segment information 
 
Segment information is presented in accordance with IFRS 8: "Operating segments" which requires operating segments to be
identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reported to the Group's Board
in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. The Group's reportable operating segments
under IFRS 8 are categorised as follows: 
 
FKI segments 
 
·      Energy 
 
·      Lifting 
 
Elster segments 
 
·      Gas 
 
·      Electricity 
 
·      Water 
 
·      Elster central 
 
The Energy segment consists of the Brush business, a specialist supplier of energy industrial products to the global
market. The Lifting segment consists of the Bridon business, serving oil & gas production, mining, petrochemical,
alternative energy and general construction markets. Elster comprises the Gas, Electricity and Water segments along with
their associated central costs. These businesses serve residential and industrial metering and utilisation markets whilst
providing related communications, networking and software solutions. 
 
There are two central cost centres which are also separately reported to the Board: 
 
·      Central - corporate 
 
·      Central - LTIPs(1) 
 
  
 
(1)  Long Term Incentive Plans 
 
The Central corporate cost centre contains the Melrose Group head office costs. The Central LTIPs cost centre contains the
costs associated with the five year 2012 Melrose Incentive Plan (granted on 11 April 2012) and the divisional management
LTIPs that are in operation across the Group. 
 
The discontinued operations incorporate the Truth, Marelli, Crosby, Acco and Harris businesses. Truth and Marelli were
classified as held for sale at 30 June 2013. Following the disposal of Harris, the Other Industrial segment has ceased to
exist. 
 
Transfer prices between business units are set on an arms length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third
parties. 
 
The Group's geographical segments are determined by the location of the Group's non-current assets and, for revenue, the
location of external customers. Inter-segment sales are not material and have not been included in the segment
information. 
 
The following tables present revenue, profit and certain asset and liability information regarding the Group's operating
segments for the six month period ended 30 June 2014 and comparative periods. Note 5 gives details of exceptional costs and
income.
