Balance Sheet Summary 
 
The balance sheet at 30 June 2016 is summarised below, showing the impact of the assets and liabilities held for sale for
each line item. At 30 June 2016 the balance sheet had net assets of £400.4m, a movement of £118.3m from the closing net
asset position of £282.1m as at 31 December 2015. The increase in net assets is mainly due to a reduction in provision
balances due to utilisation and an increase in goodwill resulting predominantly from movements in exchange rates.

£55.2m in the six months ended 30 June 2016, the majority of which relates to a reduction in contract provisions as a
result of the utilisation and net release of in the period.  Movements in contract provisions, including those related to
businesses held for sale since the 31 December 2015 balance sheet date, are as follows:

In the six months ended 30 June 2016 there were releases from OCPs of £17.8m and additional OCP charges of £4.4m, which
included no new OCPs.  Included within the release from OCPs were amounts in relation to HMP Ashfield where the ongoing
discussions with the customer in respect of repricing progressed sufficiently in the period to trigger a reassessment of
the required provision.  An OCP release was also made on the Future Provision of Marine Services contract, primarily due to
the progress being made in lowering the ongoing costs base of the contract. 
 
During the six months ended 30 June 2016 a settlement was reached with the customer in respect of HMAS Bundaberg, the
vessel operating under the Armidale Class Patrol Boat contract which was destroyed by fire in 2014.  The provision relating
to this claim has been transferred to other creditors and other debtors, given that the amounts owed to the customer and
the associated insurance receivable are no longer uncertain and therefore do not meet the criteria to be included within
the provisions balance. 
 
Utilisation of OCPs in the six months ended 30 June 2016 was £47.3m (six months ended 30 June 2015 £68.8m). 
 
Other Contract and Balance Sheet Review items 
 
There were adjustments arising in the six months ended 30 June 2016 on items identified during the Contract and Balance
Sheet Review. These adjustments relate to a number of items including: 
 
·         The releases of other provisions and accruals of £5.0m where liabilities have either been settled for less than
the amount provided or accrued, or have lapsed due to the passage of time. 
 
·         The release of allowances for bad debts of £1.6m following the receipt of payments in respect of old outstanding
balances. 
 
nce with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting
the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK
FCA").  Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it
in this report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility
to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached. 
 
Directors' Responsibilities 
 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.  The directors are
responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority. 
 
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by
the European Union.  The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European
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 enquiries, 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 Service Authority.
