when the structural and cyclical factors
currently adversely affecting the interdealer broker industry will ease, or
when the level of activity in the wholesale OTC financial markets may
increase. Our recent performance has benefited from the buoyant level of
activity in the Energy and commodities markets, particularly in oil and oil
related financial instruments, and this level of activity may not persist. We
have taken further cost improvement action and we will continue to actively
manage our cost base to reflect market conditions. 
 
We took a number of initiatives during 2015 in pursuit of our goal to become
the world's most trusted source of liquidity in hybrid OTC markets and the
best operator in global hybrid voice broking.  The agreement for the
acquisition of ICAP's global hybrid voice broking and information business
provides a unique opportunity to accelerate the delivery of our strategy, and
we are in the process of planning the integration of the two businesses to be
implemented after completion of the transaction which we expect will be during
2016. 
 
We will continue to look for opportunities to deliver our objectives to build
revenue and raise the quality and quantity of earnings through further
diversification of the client base, continued expansion into Energy and
commodities, and building scale in the Americas and Asia Pacific, whilst
preserving the business's core franchises.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
for the year ended 31 December 2015 
 
1.      General information 
 
Tullett Prebon plc is a company incorporated in England and Wales under the
Companies Act. 
 
2.      Basis of preparation 
 
(a) Basis of accounting 
 
The financial information included in this document does not constitute the
Group's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2015 or 2014, but
is derived from those accounts.  Statutory accounts for 2014 have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 2015 will be delivered
following the Company's Annual General Meeting.  The auditor has reported on
those accounts; their reports were unqualified, did not draw attention to any
matters by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain
a statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis,
except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. 
 
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 
Accordingly, the going concern basis continues to be used in preparing these
Financial Statements. 
 
(b) Basis of consolidation 
 
The Group's Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the Financial
Statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company made up to 31
December each year.  Under IFRS 10 control is achieved where the Company
exercises power over an entity, is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to use its
power to affect the returns from the entity. 
 
(c) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards 
 
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted
in the current year although their adoption has not had any significant impact
on the Financial Statements: 
 
·     Amendments to IAS 19 'Employee Benefits' regarding employee
contributions to defined benefit plans; 
 
·     Annual Improvements to IFRSs (2010-2012 Cycle); and 
 
·     Annual Improvements to IFRSs (2011-2013 Cycle). 
 
3.      Segmental analysis 
 
Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues 
 
The Group is organised by geographic reporting segments which are used for the
purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segmental performance by
Group management.  These are the Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8
'Operating Segments'. 
 
Each geographic reportable segment derives revenue from Treasury Products,
Interest Rate Derivatives, Fixed Income, Equities, Energy, and Information
Sales and Risk Management Services. 
 
Information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported below:

11.    Acquisitions 
 
MOAB Oil, Inc. 
 
On 28 July 2015, the Group announced the acquisition of 100% of the share
capital of MOAB Oil, Inc. ('MOAB').  Initial cash consideration of £7.9m was
paid on completion together with £3.7m for the working capital of the
business, including its cash.  Deferred contingent consideration is payable
from the first anniversary of completion through to the fifth anniversary. 
The amount of deferred contingent consideration is dependent upon the
performance of the business over the five year period and has an initial fair
value of £8.4m.  Intangible assets arising on the consolidation of MOAB
amounted to £15.6m of which £14.5m relates to goodwill.  Acquisition costs of
£0.5m have been included in administrative expenses. 
 
This transaction has been accounted for under the acquisition method of
accounting.
