Restructuring costs charged in the period relate to further costs incurred on
the Operational Improvement Plan initiated in a previous period as well as
costs associated with other site restructuring.

release of a provision established for warranty liabilities arising from a

5.            Taxation 
 
The half-year tax charge is based on a forecast effective tax rate of 28.1% on
profit excluding restructuring, asset impairments and acquisition related
costs. 
 
The enacted UK corporation tax rate applicable from 1 April 2015 is 20%, from
1 April 2017 is 19% and from 1 April 2020 is 18%. In addition the UK
Government has tabled legislation reducing the Corporation Tax rate to 17%
from 1 April 2020, which has yet to be enacted. 
 
6.            Earnings per share 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss
attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of
shares in issue during the period.  The weighted average number of shares in
issue is 162.1 million (30 June 2015: 159.0 million, 31 December 2015: 159.2
million). 
 
Underlying earnings per share is based on profit for the period from
continuing operations before restructuring costs, asset impairments and
acquisition related costs and their associated tax effect.

Net cash includes overdraft balances of £nil (30 June 2015: £nil, 31 December

10.        Share capital 
 
During the period the Company issued 201,094 ordinary shares as a result of
share options being exercised under the Sharesave scheme and Share Purchase
plans.  The aggregate consideration received was £0.2 million, which was
represented by a £0.2 million increase in share premium. 
 
11.         Related party transactions 
 
Transactions between the company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on
consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. 
 
No related party transactions have taken place during the six months ended 30
June 2016 that have affected the financial position or performance of the
Group. 
 
12.         Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
As described on pages 24 to 25 of the 2015 Annual Report, the Group continues
to be exposed to a number of operational and financial risks and has an
established, structured approach to identifying, assessing and managing those
risks. 
 
The Group is monitoring developments following the UK referendum on 23 June to
leave the EU. TT Electronics is a global engineered electronics company.
Within the EU we have operations in Germany, Austria, Romania and the UK. Our
UK revenue accounted for 16.2% of Group revenue in 2015. We believe that the
outcome of the UK referendum regarding the EU will not have a significant
impact on our ability to conduct business into and out of the EU in the short
to medium term. However, we recognise that we are entering a period of
uncertainty as the exit process is agreed and we are monitoring political and
macro-economic developments closely. 
 
The Directors do not believe, that other than as described above, the risks
faced by the Group have changed significantly during the first six months of
2016, and these relate to the following areas: 
 
General economic downturn; contractual risks; pricing and margin pressures;
product development; health and safety; people and capability; supplier
resilience; legal and regulatory compliance. 
 
13.         Alternative performance measure definitions 
 
These Interim Financial Statements include financial measures that are not
prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have been
selected by management to assist them in making operating decisions because
they represent the underlying operating performance of the Group and
facilitate internal comparisons of performance over time. 
 
Non-IFRS financial measures are presented in these Interim Financial
Statements as management believe that they provide investors with a means of
evaluating performance of the Group on a consistent basis, similar to the way
in which management evaluates performance, that is not otherwise apparent on
an IFRS basis, given that certain non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items
that management does not otherwise believe are indicative of the underlying
performance of the Group may not be excluded when preparing financial measures
under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation
from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
