Chairman's Statement 
 
 
Parkwood suffered its first loss in a number of years in the six months to 30 
June 2009. This was the result of losses in some trading activities, the 
impairment of goodwill and adjustments for additional costs relating to prior 
periods. Poor management of certain customer relationships in Glendale during 
2008 and early 2009 adversely affected Glendale Facilities Management at the 
Defence Animal Centre. Similarly, in February Glendale Recycling lost an 
important contract which secured gate fees for the processing of green waste. 
Although the majority of the Group's trading is underpinned by long-term 
contracts with the public sector, Parkwood is not immune to the current 
recession which has affected landscaping activity in Glendale Countryside and 
has impacted on discretionary spending patterns in golf, horticulture and 
catering. 
 
 
Parkwood Leisure, however, increased its profits during the period to GBP1.75 
million (2008: GBP1.25 million), but otherwise good news has been hard to find. 
Although the award of the first 'healthy living' contracts to provide health 
trainers for South East Essex PCT and West Berkshire PCT in July was welcome. 
The anticipated sale of the equity and subordinated debt in the leisure related 
PFI/PPP investments scheduled for June 2009 has been delayed into the third 
quarter of this year and is currently in the final stages of due diligence. 
 
 
Group Results 
 
 
Revenues were slightly ahead at GBP61.1 million (2008: GBP59.9 million) but an 
operating loss of GBP0.8 million was incurred compared to a profit of GBP1.7 
million for the same period in the previous year. The loss from continuing 
operations before tax amounted to GBP1.14 million, including GBP0.24 million of 
amortisation and GBP0.46 million of goodwill impairment. The Group's cash flow 
has been successfully managed during the period with net short-term borrowings 
kept to a minimum. The sale of the subordinated debt and equity in the PFI/PPP 
investments is expected to generate net proceeds of around GBP4.8 million which 
will be used to reduce the net debt of the recourse group. Dividends have been 
waived again as the Board has felt it prudent not to pay a dividend until this 
transaction completes. 
 
 
The Group's forward order book at the period end was GBP500 million (2008: 
GBP531 million). 
 
 
Board and Management 
 
 
Both Terry Bowman, the Group Finance Director and Nick Temple-Heald, the Chief 
Executive of Glendale left the Company during the period. Mike Quayle was 
recruited as the Group Finance Director and joined Parkwood on 6 July 2009. Mike 
spent fourteen years working for KPMG before acting as Finance Director for the 
Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive and then Group Finance Director 
of European Colour plc. Parkwood's Board currently consists of three executive 
and two non-executive directors. 
 
 
Leisure 
 
 
Parkwood Leisure had a successful half year with revenues increasing to GBP29.8 
million (2008: GBP26.1 million) and profit before tax increasing to GBP1.75 
million (2008: GBP1.25 million). 
 
 
April saw the start of a large new contract with Wycombe District Council with 
revenues in excess of GBP4 million per annum. Over 400 staff transferred to the 
company in three leisure centres at High Wycombe, Marlow and Princes Risborough. 
In May the refurbishment of the leisure centres in Kidlington and Bicester for 
Cherwell District Council were completed under a Design, Build, Operate and 
Maintain (DBOM) contract. In July the Mountbatten Leisure Centre was opened, 
this project involved a major refurbishment costing GBP17 million which was also 
invested under a DBOM arrangement. 
 
 
Throughout the period Parkwood Leisure generated additional revenues by 
assisting clients to fulfil their obligations to facilitate the Government's 
initiate to provide free swimming sessions and lessons to those over 65 and 
young people under 16. 
 
 
Health and fitness income under the Expression brand performed well throughout 
the period. Memberships totalled 48,700 at the period end (2008: 41,600) 
providing GBP1.4 million of direct debit net income per month with an average 
fee of GBP33. Food and beverage sales fell below budget as consumers reduced 
discretionary expenditure. Growth in revenue and profits is expected in the 
second half of the financial year. 
 
 
 
 
Glendale 
 
 
Glendale, comprising Glendale Grounds Management, Glendale Countryside, Glendale 
Golf, Glendale Horticulture, Glendale Recycling and Glendale Facilities 
Management operated under a new structure during the period with the objective 
of allowing each business to trade more autonomously. The restructuring process 
took too long and overhead costs have been high. Poor performance, disputes with 
certain clients and accounting adjustments were uncovered in the winter and 
early spring and the Chief Executive of the division resigned. The recession has 
affected sales in landscaping in Glendale Countryside, the sale of plants from 
Coblands, Glendale Horticulture's nursery in Kent, and Golf once again suffered 
from poor weather as well as a general decline in food and beverage sales. 
 
 
Disputes with the MOD over the kennelling of dogs at the Defence Animal Centre 
at Melton Mowbray, and with a major supplier of green waste in Devon have also 
impacted results. Only the core Grounds Management business of Glendale has 
performed well in the period.  Glendale Grounds Management commenced two ten 
year grounds management contracts, together with the retention of an existing 
contract with Birmingham City Council on 23 March 2009, with combined annual 
revenues of approximately GBP3.4 million. 
 
 
Overall revenues for Glendale declined to GBP28.3 million in the period (2008: 
GBP30.6 million) and the operating loss for the period amounted to GBP1.5 
million (2008: profit GBP0.5 million). 
 
 
Healthcare 
 
 
Parkwood Healthcare's revenue for the period was GBP2.4 million (2008: GBP2.3 
million) and included the loss making patient transport contract in 
Staffordshire which came to an end on 30 July 2009. The loss for the period was 
GBP0.33 million (2008: loss GBP0.23 million) which includes the utilisation of a 
GBP0.19 million onerous contract provision. For the future the company will 
concentrate its business development on the 'healthy living' agenda where it has 
won its first two contracts to provide health trainers for South-East Essex PCT 
and West Berkshire PCT; these contracts commence in November 2009. Tenders are 
also being submitted for weight management and smoking cessation opportunities. 
 
 
Parkwood Consultancy Services 
 
 
The recent banking crisis has delayed the signing of the PFI project to build a 
GBP23 million leisure centre for Bristol City Council. In July the Council 
agreed to proceed to financial close on the project which is scheduled to 
complete in late autumn 2009. This delay has adversely affected the revenues of 
Parkwood Consultancy Services (PCS) which fell to GBP0.75 million (2008: GBP1.37 
million), and resulted in a operating loss of GBP0.16 million for the period 
(2008: operating profit GBP0.31 million). Investment income from Special Purpose 
Companies (SPC's) was GBP0.25 million (2008: GBP0.28 million). 
 
 
A number of projects were completed during the period including the construction 
of the leisure centres previously mentioned. In addition, a GBP2.6 million 
extension and refurbishment of a crematorium and office facilities for Rotherham 
Metropolitan District Council was successfully completed. The operation of 
cemeteries and crematoriums in Rotherham is now managed by Glendale. 
 
 
An adjudication process relating to the condition of the kennels at the Defence 
Animal Centre, which is operated by Realm Services (DAC) Limited, found against 
the company. Consequently both Realm and Glendale Facilities Management, who act 
as a sub-contractor to Realm, have spent considerable time and money improving 
the facilities at the DAC. Nevertheless, after discussions with the senior 
lender to Realm it was decided to place Realm into Administration in August. 
This step invokes a 150 day suspension period to the contract to allow time to 
reach a resolution with the MoD. The outcome of this process cannot be predicted 
with certainty. At this stage no adjustment has been made to Realm's net 
carrying value in the Group's consolidated balance of GBP2.67 million before 
derivatives. 
 
 
PCS has also throughout the period been heavily engaged in seeking a buyer for 
the subordinated debt and equity of six leisure SPC's. Jeremy Lightfoot, the 
Managing Director, is personally managing the process. A buyer has been found 
and the principal terms have been agreed. The sale is scheduled for completion 
in the early autumn. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Investment, Funding and Strategy 
 
 
The Group has invested heavily in building its business in the last few years, 
investing in PFI/PPP projects, acquisitions, and the continued commitment to 
capital investment in new contracts and new business. The banking community is 
now more susceptible to corporate risk and Parkwood, like many other businesses, 
is currently finding credit harder to obtain, particularly given the downturn in 
profits. The Group therefore has revised its strategy to concentrate on cash 
management and the realisation of asset value.

Financial Review 
 
 
Profitability has declined during the last six months with an adjusted operating 
loss from continuing operations before amortisation and goodwill impairment of 
GBP0.09 million (2008: profit GBP1.96 million). Finance costs from continuing 
operations for the period were lower at GBP0.5m (2008: GBP0.6 million) due to 
lower interest rates. Finance costs include GBP0.25 million related to interest 
paid on recourse borrowings. Investment income for the period was GBP0.25 
million (2008: GBP0.23 million) and mainly relates to interest received on the 
subordinated debt due from the SPC investments held for sale and also interest 
earned on cash balances. 
 
 
The charge for intangible amortisation of GBP0.24 million (2008: GBP0.22 
million) is line with the prior period and relates to Realm's PFI contract with 
the MoD. The charge for goodwill impairment of GBP0.46 million relates to the 
carrying value of goodwill on EcoSci and Trees of Sedlescombe. The EcoSci 
business, which forms part of Glendale Recycling, lost a key contract during the 
period as referred to in the Chairman's Statement. 
 
 
Consistent with the treatment in the 2008 Financial Statements, the Leisure 
related PFI/PPP investments are separately reported as a discontinued operation 
within the income statement. The June 2008 interim results have also been 
similarly restated. There was a profit from discontinued operations of GBP0.5 
million (2008: loss GBP0.1 million). The increase from the prior period mainly 
relates to the non-depreciation of the fixed assets which are held for resale. 
 
 
The total loss for the period from continuing operations was GBP1.3 million 
(2008: profit GBP1 million). This loss was reduced to GBP0.8 million (2008: 
profit GBP0.9 million) after including the results of discontinued operations.

The adjusted operating profit/(loss) is stated before exceptional items, 
amortisation and goodwill impairment. 
 
 
Whilst the revenue of the Trading Group increased by 2%, the adjusted operating 
profit decreased from GBP1.96 million to a loss of GBP0.09 million as a result 
of the underperformance of Glendale and the delay in the Bristol PFI contract 
adversely affecting PCS as referred to in the Chairman's Statement. Leisure 
continued to perform strongly with increased year on year revenue of 14% due to 
Wycombe and increased profits of 40%. 
 
 
The joint venture losses of GBP0.1 million relate to Verdia Horticulture, the 
joint venture between Glendale Recycling and TEG Group plc. The plant is in the 
final stages of commissioning and accreditation by the regulatory authorities 
and future revenue streams are being sought. 
 
 
Within the SPC Group, Realm suffered a reduction in adjusted operating profit 
from GBP0.45 million to GBP0.2 million due to additional costs associated with 
the ongoing dispute with the MoD. The DBOM contracts, consisting of Broadwater 
Leisure Limited and Cherwell Leisure Limited, showed an increase in revenue 
mainly due to the Cherwell contract which was signed in April 2008. 
 
 
Summary Group Balance Sheet 
 
 
The following table shows a summary of the Group's balance sheet analysed 
between recourse and non-recourse activities. The discontinued balance sheet 
relates to the SPC subsidiaries and joint ventures held for sale. The 
non-recourse balance sheet from continuing operations relates solely to the

Net assets at 31 December 2008 have been restated to amend the values of certain 
derivative contracts within the non-recourse SPC's. The amendment was 
principally required due to an error in the valuation provided by the bank which 
issued the derivative. The net impact has been to reduce the net asset value at 
31 December 2008 from GBP6.05 million to GBP1.58 million. This restatement has 
no affect on the profits in the current or prior period since the derivatives 
concerned are effective hedges and therefore changes in value are recognised 
directly in reserves. The restatement has no affect on the balance sheet of the 
recourse group which remains strong at GBP5.1 million. 
 
 
Once the disposal of the leisure related PFI/PPP investments has been completed 
the net liabilities of the discontinued group will be eliminated from the 
Group's balance sheet and the net assets of the continuing recourse group will 
be further enhanced by the profit generated on disposal. 
 
 
Cash Flow 
 
 
The net cash inflow from operating activities for the period was GBP2.3 million 
(2008: outflow GBP0.4 million) including GBP1.4 million inflow related to 
discontinued operations. Total capital expenditure for the period was GBP1.6 
million of which GBP0.8 million was funded through HP contracts. Repayment of 
loans and HP obligations amounted to GBP1.7 million and net interest payments 
were GBP1.0 million. There was a net cash outflow for the period of GBP1.1 
million (2008: outflow GBP6.5 million). 
 
 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties 
 
 
The Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2008 set out the 
principal risks and uncertainties affecting the Group and its separate 
businesses. The Directors consider that these risks and uncertainties remained 
current throughout the six months to 30 June 2009 and will remain so for the 
second half of the year with the exception of energy costs within the Leisure 
Division. During the period, Leisure secured fixed priced contracts for gas for 
a three year period to 2012 and electricity for a two year period to 2011. The 
cost of the new contracts are 21% higher than in prior years, which is lower 
than the potential increase of 50% referred to in the 2008 Annual Report. 
 
 
The principal financial risk facing the Group is the availability of bank 
funding over the next twelve months. The Group is currently negotiating an 
extension to its current overdraft facility for an additional 12 months. In 
addition, following the restatement of the net assets as at 31 December 2008, a 
formal waiver of covenants is required on the non-recourse loans. The Group is 
holding discussions with its bankers about its future borrowing requirements in 
light of the anticipated proceeds from the sale of the subordinated debt and 
equity in the SPC's and has no reason to believe that the necessary facilities 
will not be provided. 
 
 
Pensions 
 
 
A formal triennial valuation of the Citrus (formerly LAWDC) defined benefit 
pension scheme took place on 31 March 2009. The provisional results of the 
valuation will be available before the end of the year and indications from the 
scheme actuaries are that there will be an increase in the deficit and an 
increase in employer contributions. No adjustments have been made at the half 
year due to the uncertainty in the market place of equities and bonds. The 
opening IAS 19 assumptions have been applied to the interim balance sheet. Any 
increase in the pension scheme deficit will be reflected in the year end 2009 
balance sheet and increased employer contributions will be effective from April 
2010.

The consolidated cash flow statement includes the results of discontinued 
operations.  Notes to the interim financial report 
Six months ended 30 June 2009 
 
 
1.  General information 
 
 
The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2008 set out in this 
interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 
of the Companies Act 1985. The Group's statutory financial statements for the 
year ended 31 December 2008 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. 
 
 
The financial information in respect of the year ended 31 December 2008 has been 
produced using extracts from the statutory accounts prepared under IFRS for this 
period as amended by the restatements noted below. The statutory accounts for 
this period have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' 
report on these accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under 
Sections 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985 which deal respectively with 
the maintaining of proper accounting books and records and the availability of 
information to the auditors. 
 
 
The balance sheet as at 31 December 2008 has been adjusted to correct an error 
arising on a third party valuation of a derivative contract and additional 
hedges within the non-recourse SPC Group. The impact of these changes, net of 
the associated change in deferred tax, is a reduction in net assets of GBP1.57 
million at 31 December 2007, GBP2.15 million at 30 June 2008 and GBP4.47 million 
at 31 December 2008. The adjustments have no impact on the reported income 
statement for the year to 31 December 2008 since the derivatives met the 
effective hedge criteria of IAS 39 and therefore changes in value are taken 
directly to reserves. 
 
 
 
 
 2.   Accounting policies and basis of preparation 
The interim financial statements have been approved by the Board and have not 
been audited by the auditors. 
 
 
This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months 
ended 30 June 2009 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim 
financial reporting', the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority and 
with the principles of IFRS. The condensed consolidated interim financial 
information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements 
for the year ended 31 December 2008, which have been prepared in accordance with 
IFRSs. 
 
 
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would 
be applicable to expected total annual earnings. 
 
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial 
statements for the year to 31 December 2008 except for the adoption of IAS 1 
Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007), IFRS 8 Operating Segments 
and IFRS 2 (amendment), 'Share based payments' on 'Vesting conditions and 
cancellations'. 
 
 
The Group is currently negotiating an extension to its current overdraft 
facility for an additional 12 month period. In addition, following the 
restatement of the net assets as at 31 December 2008, a formal waiver of 
covenants is required on the non-recourse loans. The Group is holding 
discussions with its bankers about its future borrowing requirements in light of 
the anticipated proceeds from the sale of the subordinated debt and equity in 
the SPC's and has no reason to believe that the necessary facilities will not be 
provided. After making reasonable enquiries, the directors have a reasonable 
expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in 
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly they continue to 
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements. 
 
The adoption of IAS 1 (Revised 2007) does not affect the financial position 
or profits of the Group, but gives rise to additional disclosures.  The 
measurement and recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses is unchanged, however, some items that were recognised directly in 
equity are now recognised in other comprehensive income.  IAS 1 (Revised 2007) 
affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and introduces a 'Statement 
of comprehensive income'.  In accordance with the new standard the entity does 
not present a 'Statement of recognised income and expenses (SORIE)', as was 
presented in the 2008 consolidated financial statements. Further, a 'Statement 
of changes in equity' is presented. 
 
The adoption of IFRS 8 has not changed the segments that are disclosed in the 
interim financial statements.  In the previous annual and interim financial 
statements, segments were based on the internal management reporting information 
that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker which is in 
line with the new standard. 
 
 
3.     Business segments 
 
 
For management purposes, the Group is organised into four Trading divisions - 
Glendale, Parkwood Leisure, Parkwood Healthcare and Parkwood Consultancy (the 
Trading Group). These form the basis on which the Group reports its primary 
segment information for statutory and management purposes:

business for the purpose of analysis are as follows: 
Glendale    Provides amenity horticulture, grass cutting, arboriculture and care 
of sports pitches, parks and open spaces. The division also includes golf course 
management, waste recycling, environmental consultancy, tree moving and

5.    Tax

non-deductible expenses resulting in a GBP49,000 corporation tax credit for the 
interim period to 30 June 2009. The total charge for the period includes an 
adjustment of GBP200,000 in respect of prior periods.

7.    (Loss)/earnings per share 
 
 
(Loss)/earnings per share relate to continuing operations and have been 
calculated on (losses)/earnings for the period divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares in issue of 18.03 million (December 2008: 18.29 
million; June 2008: 18.54 million). The shares options in issue as at 30 June 
2009 are anti-dilutive in respect of the basic loss per share calculation and 
have therefore not been included.

12.    Related Parties 
 
 
Transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related 
parties, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this 
note. 
 
 
There has been no change to the nature of related party transactions in the

13.      Post Balance Sheet Events 
 
 
Realm Services (DAC) Limited ("Realm") was placed into Administration in August 
2009. This decision followed discussions with Barclays Bank plc, the senior 
lender to Realm, and relates to an outstanding dispute with the Ministry of 
Defence on the Defence Animal Centre ("DAC") PFI contract. The dispute relates 
to the provision of kennelling for dogs trained at the DAC. The directors and 
Barclays believe that placing Realm into Administration is the best course of 
action since it invokes a 150 day suspension period to the contract which should 
allow time to reach a commercial resolution to the outstanding contractual 
issues. The net carrying value of Realm in the Group's consolidated balance 
sheet is GBP2.67 million before derivatives. Realm forms part of the Group's 
non-recourse activities.
