Reporting entity 
 
Oxford Instruments plc is a company incorporated in England and Wales.  The condensed consolidated half year financial
statements consolidate the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group).  They have been
prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.  They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial
statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31
March 2017. 
 
The financial information contained herein is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section
435 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 March 2017 are not the company's
statutory accounts for that financial year.  Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered
to the registrar of companies.  The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any
matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain
a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
Significant accounting policies 
 
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed set of financial
statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the
Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, except as explained below. 
 
Adoption of new and revised standards 
 
At present, there are no other new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations mandatory for the first time for
the year ending 31 March 2018. 
 
Estimates 
 
The preparation of half year financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
 
In preparing these half year financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the group's
accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Consolidated
Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017. 
 
Going concern 
 
The condensed consolidated half year financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, based on the
Directors' opinion, after making reasonable enquiries, that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.

Acquisition related costs comprise professional fees incurred in relation to mergers and acquisitions activity and any
consideration which, under IFRS 3 (revised), falls to be treated as a post-acquisition employment expense. 
 
Restructuring costs comprise one-off costs in respect of cost reduction programmes in the US Healthcare and Asylum
businesses.  Restructuring costs relating to the Group's associate relate to exceptional costs incurred by the associate
arising from the merger of the Scienta and Omicron businesses. 
 
In order to assist with comparability between peers, adjusted profit excludes the non-cash amortisation and impairment of
acquired intangible assets and goodwill and the unwind of discounts in respect of contingent consideration relating to
business combinations. 
 
The Group reports ineffectiveness of its hedging as an adjusting item. In the prior year, this included losses on certain
contracts relating to the hedging of the Japanese Yen which were not required for ordinary trading and which were
re-allocated for use against the remittance of net income of the Group's Japan operations. Additionally, under IAS 39, all
derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are also
measured at fair value. In respect of instruments used to hedge foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk the Group does
not take advantage of the hedge accounting rules provided for in IAS 39 since that standard requires certain stringent
criteria to be met in order to hedge account, which, in the particular circumstances of the Group, are considered by the
Board not to bring any significant economic benefit. Accordingly, the Group accounts for these derivative financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss. To the extent that instruments are hedges of future transactions,
adjusted profit for the year is stated before changes in the valuation of these instruments so that the underlying
performance of the Group can be more clearly seen.

2          NON-GAAP MEASUREScontinued 
 
In the prior year: 
 
·      the Group settled various claims totalling £0.4m relating to the disposal of its Omicron business in 2015; 
 
·      the Group recognised an impairment of £8.0m relating to its equity accounted associate investment; 
 
·      the one off impairment of capitalised development costs related to a specific internal systems project that was
stopped as the Group focused and directed resources so as to accelerate projects; and 
 
·      the one off impairment of capitalised software costs was carried out following a reassessment of the future value
expected to be derived from internally developed software. 
 
3          SEGMENT Information 
 
The Group has ten operating segments.  These operating segments have been combined into three aggregated operating segments
to the extent that they have similar economic characteristics, with relevance to products and services, type and class of
customer, methods of sale and distribution and the regulatory environment in which they operate.  Each of these three
aggregated operating segments is a reportable segment. 
 
The Group's internal management structure and financial reporting systems differentiate the three aggregated operating
segments on the basis of the economic characteristics discussed below: 
 
·      the Materials and Characterisation segment comprises a group of businesses focusing on applied R&D and commercial
customers, enabling the fabrication and characterisation of materials and devices down to the atomic scale; 
 
·      the Research and Discovery segment comprises a group of businesses providing advanced solutions that create unique
environments and enable measurements down to the molecular and atomic level which are used in fundamental research; and 
 
·      the Service and Healthcare segment provides customer service and support for the Group's products and the service,
sale and rental of third party healthcare imaging systems. 
 
Reportable segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those which can be allocated on a
reasonable basis. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.  The operating results of each are
regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is deemed to be the Board of Directors. Discrete financial
information is available for each segment and used by the Board of Directors for decisions on resource allocation and to
assess performance.  No asset information is presented below as this information is not presented in reporting to the
Group's Board of Directors.
