Mountfield Group Plc (the "Company" or "the Group") Half-yearly
report to 30 June 2018
Chairman and CEO's Statement
The first half of 2018 saw the Group's turnover grow
significantly to GBP8.87m from the same period last year (2017 -
GBP5.68m) and this resulted in net profit before tax of GBP695k
which is also a significant increase over that earned in the
corresponding period of 2017 (2017 - GBP305k).
The Board is very pleased that the performance of the Group has
continued to build on the results from 2017 particularly in the
second half of that year and expects the overall results for 2018
to be ahead of those for 2017.
CAF
CAF has had a good first half of the year with its turnover
increasing to GBP5.1m from GBP4.4m with a profit before tax of
GBP392k generated during the period being broadly consistent with
that of the previous year (2017 - GBP408k).
CAF continues to be a market leader in its sector and has a
proven track record of successfully delivering some of the largest
contracts in the raised access flooring market.
MBG
MBG has had a very strong six months following on from a very
good year last year and has generated profits before tax in the
first half of the year of GBP456k (2017 - GBP44k). This was
achieved due to turnover increasing to GBP3.8m from GBP1.3m over
the corresponding period last year, together with a keen control of
its operating expenditure.
This increase in turnover and profitability has been achieved by
continuing to successfully deliver projects to its clients
including those major contracts that have previously been
announced.
Group
The Board anticipates the Group performing well in the second
half of the year and also CAF and MBG securing further business
that will ensure a strong platform for 2019.

1. Notes to the Interim Report
Basis of preparation
The Group's half-yearly financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue by the directors on 27
September 2018.
The consolidated half-yearly financial statements, which are
unaudited, do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning
of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies at Companies House. The audit report on the
statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017 was
unqualified and did not contain any statements under Section 498
(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The annual financial statements of Mountfield Group Plc for the
year ended 31 December 2018 will be prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in
the EU ("IFRS"). Accordingly, these interim financial statements
have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those
which will be adopted by the Group in the financial statements and
in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting".
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial information consolidates that of the company
and its subsidiaries.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are
eliminated on consolidation.
2. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
The Group has applied this accounting standard from 1 January
2018 and has adopted the modified retrospective approach to its
adoption which would result in any adjustments for contracts in
progress at 1 January 2018 being made to opening retained earnings
at that date.
The Group has considered how contracts are accounted for in
accordance with IFRS 15 using the 5 step approach set out in that
standard. In undertaking this exercise the Group has not identified
any material changes in how revenue would be recognised for the
contracts in progress at 31 December 2017 nor with those that have
been undertaken in the six months to 30 June 2018.
The Group expects that the adoption of this standard could have
an impact if loss making contracts occur but other than those does
not currently foresee any material changes from the previous
accounting policy.
IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'
The Group has applied this standard from 1 January 2018 but it
has had no material effect on the Group's financial statements.
IFRS 16 'Leases'
The Group is working with its advisors to assess the potential
impact of IFRS 16 'Leases', including consideration of transition
method. The standard is expected to only affect the Group in
respect of leases that it has in place that are currently treated
as operating leases in accordance with current standards.
The Group only acts as a lessee and will be required to
recognise operating leases on the balance sheet when the new
standard is implemented. It is likely that the modified
retrospective approach will be adopted meaning the Group will only
recognise such leases on the balance sheet as at 1 January
2019.
3. Segmental reporting
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's
business segments, which are based on the Group's management and
internal reporting structure.
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the
Board of Directors (the Board). The Board reviews the Group's
internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate
resources. Management have determined the operating segments based
on these reports and on the internal report's structure.
Segment performance is evaluated by the Board based on revenue
and profit before tax ("PBT"). Segment results include items
directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be
allocated on a reasonable basis, such as centrally managed costs
relating to individual segments and costs relating to land used in
more than one individual segment.
Given that income taxes and certain corporate costs are managed
on a centralised basis, these items are not allocated between
operating segments for the purposes of the information presented to
the Board and are accordingly omitted from the analysis below.
The Group comprises the following segments:
Construction
Direct contracting and trade contracting services to both main
contractors and corporate end users.
Fit-out
Providing raised flooring systems to both main contractors and
corporate end users.
