Notes to the accounts 
 
1. Basis of accounting and preparation 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised for
issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 23 October
2017. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with UK listing rules and with IAS 34 'Interim Financial
Reporting'. The interim financial report does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The financial information for the year ended 2 March 2017 is extracted from
the statutory accounts of the Group for that year and does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.  These
published accounts were prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted for use in the European Union, and
reported on by the auditor without qualification or statement under Sections
498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months
ended 31 August 2017 and the comparatives to 1 September 2016 are unaudited
but have been reviewed by the auditor; a copy of their review report is
included at the end of this report. 
 
A combination of the strong cash flows generated by the business, and the
significant available headroom on its credit facilities, support the
directors' view that the Group has sufficient funds available for it to meet
its foreseeable working capital requirements.  The directors have concluded
therefore that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. 
 
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the
preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 2
March 2017. 
 
2. Segmental analysis 
 
For management purposes, the Group is organised into two strategic business
units (Premier Inn and Costa) based upon their different products and
services: 
 
·      Premier Inn provide services in relation to accommodation and food;
and 
 
·      Costa generates income from the operation of its branded, owned and
franchised coffee outlets. 
 
The UK and International Premier Inn segments have been aggregated on the
grounds that the International segment is immaterial. 
 
Management monitors the operating results of its strategic business units
separately for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and
assessing performance.  Segment performance is measured based on underlying
operating profit.  Included within the unallocated and elimination columns in
the tables below are the costs of running the public company.  The unallocated
assets and liabilities are cash and debt balances (held and controlled by the
central treasury function), taxation, pensions, certain property, plant and
equipment, centrally held provisions and central working capital balances. 
 
Inter-segment revenue is from Costa to the Premier Inn segment and is
eliminated on consolidation.  Transactions were entered into on an arm's
length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. 
 
The following tables present revenue and profit information and certain asset
and liability information regarding business operating segments for the six
months to 31 August 2017 and 1 September 2016 and for the full year ended 2
March 2017.
