"I am pleased to report that Carillion performed strongly in the first half of 2011, despite market conditions remaining challenging, particularly in the UK. The Group's strong track record of profitable growth continues to reflect its well-balanced and resilient UK and international business mix and good revenue visibility. We expect to make further progress in the second half of 2011 to deliver earnings growth in line with market expectations. Furthermore, with strong market positions and a record pipeline of contract opportunities, the Group continues to target strong international growth and substantial growth in UK support services over the medium term.
"Our Group Chief Executive, John McDonough CBE, will be retiring from the Board and from the company on 31 December 2011, having reached the age of 60.

Summary results
Carillion performed strongly in the first half of 2011, continuing the Group's strong track record of profitable growth, despite market conditions remaining challenging, particularly in the UK.
Underlying profit before taxation(1) increased by 10 per cent to £72.5 million (2010: £65.7 million), which reflected an improvement in the Group's total first-half operating margin to 3.3 per cent (2010: 3.1 per cent) in line with our focus on margins and a reduction in the Group's net financial expense. Compared with the corresponding period in 2010, underlying earnings per share(2) increased by 10 per cent to 14.3 pence (2010: 13.0 pence).
Total revenue remained broadly stable at just below £2.5 billion (2010: £2.5 billion), with the contribution from Carillion Energy Services primarily offset by a 15 per cent reduction in UK construction revenue, in line with the planned re-scaling of this business announced in August 2010.
Cash flow from operations remained strong at £110.0 million (2010: £104.8 million) and represented 148 per cent of profit from operations. Net borrowing at 30 June 2011 was £93.7 million (31 December 2010: £120.2 million net cash). This is substantially better than the target we set when we acquired Carillion Energy Services of reducing net borrowing to below £150 million by 31 December 2011. The integration of this new business continues to go well. We are also on track to deliver the synergy cost savings that we announced in our trading update on 7 July 2011, of £15 million per annum by the end of 2013 at a one-off cost of £20 million.
The Group's order book, which excludes variable work and re-bids, continues to provide good visibility of future revenue and at 30 June 2011 this was 96 per cent for 2011, based on expected revenue and secure and probable orders. At 30 June 2011, the combined value of the Group's order book and probable orders increased to £19.4 billion (31 December 2010: £19.1 billion). Within this total, the order book reduced to £17.7 billion (31 December 2010: £18.2 billion), due to the planned re-scaling of UK construction, and probable orders increased to some £1.7 billion (31 December 2010: £0.9 billion). At 30 June 2011, our pipeline of contract opportunities had increased by 25 per cent to a record level of some £32 billion (31 December 2010: £26 billion).
In view of the Group's first-half performance and positive prospects the Board has increased the interim dividend by 10 per cent to 5.3 pence per share (2010: 4.8 pence) in line with our progressive dividend policy.

Business performance
First-half revenue of just below £2.5 billion (2010: £2.5 billion) primarily reflected the planned reduction in UK construction revenue and the benefit of revenue from Carillion Energy Services, which was acquired on 21 April 2011.
Underlying profit from operations(1) increased by seven per cent to £74.4 million (2010: £69.8 million) reflecting an improved operating margin. In support services, the underlying operating margin increased to 4.1 per cent (2010: 3.9 per cent) and in construction services (excluding the Middle East) the underlying operating margin increased to 1.6 per cent (2010: 1.1 per cent). As a result, the total Group underlying operating margin increased to 3.3 per cent (2010: 3.1 per cent), despite the expected reduction in underlying operating margin in Middle East construction services to 7.4 per cent (2010: 8.5 per cent), in line with our previously announced expectation that the margin in this business segment will ease back to around six per cent by 2013.
After a net financial expense of £1.9 million (2010: £4.1 million), underlying profit before taxation(2) increased by 10 per cent to £72.5 million (2010: £65.7 million). The Group's net financial expense reduced, because the benefit of the pension scheme interest credit of £1.5 million (2010: £1.7 million charge) more than offset the increase in interest payable on net borrowing following the acquisition of Carillion Energy Services.
After underlying Group taxation of £12.4 million (2010: £11.2 million) and profit attributable to non-controlling interests of £1.4 million (2010: £2.6 million), underlying profit attributable to shareholders increased by 13 per cent to £58.7 million (2010: £51.9 million) and underlying earnings per share(3) increased by 10 per cent to 14.3 pence (2010: 13.0 pence).
The underlying Group taxation charge of £12.4 million when combined with a taxation credit on Joint Ventures of £0.8 million (2010: nil), represented an underlying effective tax rate(3) of 16 per cent (31 December 2010: 16 per cent).
Intangible amortisation amounted to £14.2 million (2010: £13.8 million) and included £3.6 million in relation to Carillion Energy Services. The non-recurring operating charge of £20.0 million (2010: £9.4 million) includes integration and rationalisation costs relating to the acquisition of Carillion Energy Services. The non-operating loss of £0.1 million (2010: £16.3 million profit) comprised a profit of £6.1 million on the disposal of two Public Private Partnership equity investments and a profit of £1.8 million on the sale of a small joint venture in the Netherlands, together with the acquisition costs relating to Carillion Energy Services of £8.0 million.

(2) After Joint Ventures taxation credit of £0.8 million (2010: nil) and before intangible amortisation, non-recurring items and non-operating items.
(3) Before intangible amortisation, non-recurring operating items and non-operating items.
After intangible amortisation, non-recurring operating items and the non-operating loss, reported profit before taxation amounted to £38.2 million (2010: £58.8 million). A Group taxation charge of £4.1 million (2010: £4.7 million) resulted in reported profit after taxation of £34.1 million (2010: £54.1 million). Non-controlling interests amounted to £1.4 million (2010: £2.6 million), leaving profit attributable to Carillion shareholders of £32.7 million (2010: £51.5 million) and basic earnings per share of 7.9 pence per share (2010: 12.9 pence).
Pensions
The Group's ongoing pensions charge against profit in the first half of 2011 amounted to £14.2 million (2010: £14.6 million). The net credit to interest relating to pensions of £1.5 million (2010: £1.7 million charge), largely reflected a reduction in bond yields. At 30 June 2011, the total pension scheme deficit net of taxation amounted to £150.6 million (31 December 2010: £182.1 million).
Cash flow
Strong cash management is a priority and this is reflected in the Group's track record of consistently delivering cash-backed profit. In the first half of 2011, underlying cash flow from operations(1) of £110.0 million once again exceeded underlying profit from operations of £74.4 million. Deficit recovery payments to the Group's pension funds in the first half of 2011 amounted to £13.4 million, in line with the agreement reached last year with the Trustees of the Group's main defined benefit schemes. The cash costs of rationalisation of £17.0 million primarily related to the integration of Carillion Energy Services and the re-scaling of UK construction. Net income in respect of capital items of £11.3 million included proceeds of £16.9 million from the disposal of surplus assets. Net payments in respect of acquisitions and disposals amounted to £250.2 million. This comprised £249.3 million relating to the cash element of the consideration, acquisition costs and net debt acquired in respect of Carillion Energy Services, plus net equity investments in joint ventures of £14.9 million, less proceeds of £7.5 million from the sale of equity in the South Ayrshire Schools PPP project and £6.5 million (net of expenses) from the sale of a small joint venture in the Netherlands. Interest, tax and dividend payments amounted to £50.8 million. The above items, together with other payments of £3.8 million, resulted in a change in net borrowing of £213.9 million, leaving the Group with net borrowing at 30 June 2011 of £93.7 million (31 December 2010: £120.2 million net cash).
Committed bank facilities
In February 2011, we put in place new committed bank facilities of £752.5 million, which comprise a £737.5 million syndicated five-year facility maturing in March 2016 and a £15.0 million 364-day facility. In August 2011, we also completed a £100 million private placement which comprised a £49 million seven-year facility at 4.38 per cent per annum and a £51 million 10-year facility at 5.1 per cent per annum. Securing these facilities reflects the Group's positive prospects and gives the Group the financial strength to support its strategy for sustainable profitable growth.

Acquisiton of Eaga plc
The Group acquired the entire share capital of Eaga plc on 21 April 2011 for a total consideration of £298.4 million, satisfied by the issue of 30.6 million Carillion plc shares and £180.7 million in cash. Based on the provisional assessment of fair values, goodwill is expected to be £304.1 million.

In this segment we report the results of our facilities management, facilities services, energy services, rail services, road maintenance, utility services and consultancy businesses.
Revenue remained at a similar level to 2010, with the contribution from Carillion Energy Services following its acquisition on 21 April 2011 broadly offset by the reductions in contract revenues primarily arising from the demobilisation of the Aviva and Highways Agency Maintenance Area 5 contracts during 2010. Underlying operating profit increased by six per cent to £45.6 million, with the operating margin increasing from 3.9 per cent to 4.1 per cent. This reflected lower mobilisation costs in the first half of 2011 together with our focus on margins through contract selectivity and financial discipline.
At 30 June 2011, we continued to have a strong forward order book for support services worth £12.2 billion (31 December 2010: £11.7 billion) in addition to which we had probable orders worth £0.9 billion (2010: £0.5 billion). Furthermore, our pipeline of contract opportunities had increased significantly to £11.2 billion (2010: £8.3 billion).
Our high-quality order book of long-term contracts, together with probable orders, continues to provide good revenue visibility, which at 30 June 2011 stood at 92 per cent of expected revenue for 2011(1). Our top 10 contracts continue to account for around 30 per cent of our revenue in this segment and having already negotiated the renewal of the only top 10 contract due to expire in 2011, and with no more top 10 contracts due to expire before 2013, we have a solid revenue platform for the medium term.
Since the half year, we have had a number of significant successes, including a contract and a preferred bidder position for highways maintenance work in Canada worth some £200 million over 11 years and preferred bidder positions for facilities management contracts for UK local authorities worth approximately £50 million over four years.
In 2011 we remain confident of increasing revenue following the acquisition of Carillion Energy Services. We expect our operating margin to remain strong and we continue to target a full-year margin at least equal to the 5.2 per cent we achieved in 2010, by remaining focused on contract selectivity and financial discipline.
Our pipeline of contract opportunities continues to increase, notably as a result of public sector organisations seeking to reduce operating costs through outsourcing more non-core services. For example, we are currently shortlisted for a number of major, complex outsourcing contracts for central and local Government, notably for Edinburgh City Council, Sheffield City Council, Oxfordshire County Council and the Ministry of Defence, which together are worth approximately £3.0 billion. Therefore, the medium-term outlook for support services remains positive and we continue to target substantial organic revenue growth in this segment from 2012 onwards.

In this segment we report the equity returns on investments in Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects in the UK and Canada.
We use our capabilities to provide fully integrated solutions to win and deliver PPP projects in which we can not only make equity investments, but also secure long-term support services contracts and good quality construction contracts. The support services and construction services we provide as part of delivering PPP projects are reported in our support services and construction services (excluding the Middle East) segments, respectively. Once a project is mature, namely it has passed from construction into the operational phase, we have the option of selling our equity and reinvesting the proceeds in new projects.
Revenue reduced in the first half of 2011 by 10 per cent, primarily due to the sale of our equity investment in the Queen Alexandra Hospital project in June 2010. Operating profit reduced by 40 per cent, primarily because profit in the first half of 2010 benefited from fees received upon achieving financial close on four projects.
Following our appointment in June 2011 as preferred bidder for the £1.7 billion New Oakville Hospital PPP project in Ontario, Canada, we successfully achieved financial close at the end of July 2011. We expect to invest some £28 million of equity in this 30-year project, which is Carillion's sixth PPP hospital in Canada.
In June 2011, we sold our equity investments in two more mature projects, namely South Ayrshire Schools and Three Shires Hospitals. These sales generated total gross proceeds of £14.8 million, of which £7.5 million in respect of South Ayrshire Schools was received in the first half of the year. These sales reflected an average discount rate of some seven per cent and generated a first-half non-operating profit of £6.1 million.
At 30 June 2011, we had a portfolio of 25 financially closed projects in which we had invested some £81 million of equity and in which we had commitments to invest a further £106 million of equity in projects still in the construction phase. The Directors' valuation of this portfolio at 30 June 2011 increased to £144 million (31 December 2010: £135 million), based on a discount rate of nine per cent, despite the sale of two further investments.
Our forward order book at 30 June 2011 was £2.5 billion (31 December 2010: £2.7 billion) and we had probable orders worth £0.3 billion (2010: nil), the latter due to our appointment as preferred bidder for the New Oakville Hospital. We are also currently short-listed for three PPP projects in which we could potentially invest up to £77 million, which includes the Royal Liverpool Hospital for which the shortlist has been reduced to two bidders since the half year.
The positive outlook for PPP projects has been further underpinned by recent Government announcements. In Canada, Infrastructure Ontario announced a new 10-year PPP programme in June 2011, involving some CA$35 billion of investment over the first three years. In the UK, a new £2 billion privately financed school building programme was announced in July 2011, demonstrating the Government's ongoing commitment to private finance. Furthermore, we continue to expect private finance to play a significant role in delivering the UK Government's £200 billion five-year National Infrastructure Plan.

In this segment we report the results of our building and civil engineering activities in the Middle East and North Africa.
The timing of contract starts in 2010 resulted in a very strong second-half performance and this growth continued into 2011 with revenue increasing by 40 per cent compared with the first half of 2010. Operating profit increased by 21 per cent to £18.7 million (2010: £15.4 million). The operating margin reduced to 7.4 per cent (2010: 8.5 per cent), in line with the expectation we announced in 2010 that margins in this segment would ease back to around six per cent by 2013, as all contracts in the region are now competitively tendered rather than negotiated.
Our strong track record in the Middle East continues to be based on our reputation for high quality and delivery, the strength of our partners and long-term relationships with a small number of financially robust customers. At 30 June 2011, revenue visibility for 2011 was 90 per cent(2) and Carillion's share of the forward order book of our Middle East businesses was some £0.7 billion (31 December 2010: £1.0 billion). However, our pipeline of contract opportunities had increased substantially to some £11.8 billion (31 December 2010: £8.8 billion).
Our growing pipeline reflects the major opportunities we have in the region, where we are targeting major infrastructure investment programmes, notably in Abu Dhabi, Oman and Qatar. Consequently, in 2011 we continue to target growth in full-year revenue and operating profit, despite margins easing back in line with expectations.
We also remain confident about the medium-term outlook and the target we announced in 2010 of doubling our revenue in the region to around £1 billion over three to five years remains unchanged.

(1) Before intangible amortisation and non-recurring operating items.
In this segment we report the results of our UK building, civil engineering and developments businesses, together with those of our construction activities in Canada.
First-half revenue reduced by 10 per cent, in line with expectations, as we are making good progress with the re-scaling of our UK construction capability in line with the strategy we announced in August 2010. Re-scaling is being achieved through tightening contract selectivity to progressively base our activities around the delivery of integrated solutions for PPP projects and support services customers. In Canada, our markets remain strong, particularly the PPP market, which we continue to expect to be a significant driver of growth.
This tightening of our already selective approach to UK construction, together with strong cost management, is also helping to support margins. Our ability to be selective and avoid bidding for low margin work is particularly important at a time when the UK market is becoming increasingly competitive as the Government progressively implements substantial cuts in public spending on construction. As a result, our first-half operating margin improved to 1.6 per cent (2010: 1.1 per cent) with operating profit up 26 per cent to £15.3 million.
At 30 June 2011, revenue visibility in this segment was 100 per cent(2), based on secure and probable orders. At the same date, the forward order book stood at £2.3 billion (31 December 2010: £2.8 billion) and we had probable new orders worth £0.5 billion (31 December 2010: £0.4 billion). Probable new orders included £0.2 billion of construction revenue relating to the New Oakville Hospital, Ontario, Canada for which we were appointed preferred bidder in June 2011. Our pipeline of contract opportunities at 30 June 2011 was worth £7.4 billion (31 December 2010: £7.7 billion).
In the second half of 2011, we expect revenue in this segment to reduce further as we continue to re-scale our UK capability. In Canada, full-year construction revenue in 2011 is likely to be broadly similar to that in 2010, due to the timing of project starts.
(2) Based on expected revenue and secure and probable orders, which exclude variable work and re-bids.
Given the strength of our markets in Canada we continue to expect growth in construction to support the objective we set in 2010 of doubling total revenue in Canada to around £1 billion over three to five years.
As a result of tightening our selective approach in the UK, in 2011 we expect to see a further improvement in the full-year operating margin, which was 1.9 per cent in 2010, and to deliver growth in operating profit, despite the expected reduction in overall revenue.
Operational and financial risk management
Carillion has rigorous policies and processes in place to identify, mitigate and manage strategic risks and those specific to individual businesses and contracts, including economic, social, environmental and ethical risks. The Group's risk management policies and processes, together with the Group's principal operational and financial risks and the measures being taken to mitigate and manage these risks, are described on page 17 of our 2010 Annual Report and Accounts, which was published in March 2011. The principal operational risks summarised in that report include managing our pension schemes, winning work in competitive markets, maintaining high standards of performance in Health and Safety, managing major contracts, maintaining financial discipline and being able to recruit and retain excellent people.
Board changes
Our Group Chief Executive, John McDonough CBE, will be retiring from the Board and from the company on 31 December 2011, having reached the age of 60. He will be succeeded as Group Chief Executive by Richard Howson who is currently our Chief Operating Officer. Richard has worked for the Company for 16 years and at various times he has successfully led the UK construction, Middle East and Rail businesses.
John joined the Board as Chief Executive in January 2001 and has made a major contribution to Carillion's success. Under his leadership, Carillion's earnings and dividends per share have broadly trebled as the company has been transformed from being largely focused on UK construction into an international support services company with a strong, selective construction capability. John's contribution to the UK construction industry was recently recognised by the award of a CBE in Her Majesty the Queen's 2011 Birthday Honours list. John will leave the Board and the company with our grateful thanks and very best wishes for his retirement.
Outlook and prospects
We expect to build on our strong first-half performance to deliver earnings growth in the full year in line with market expectations, despite the planned re-scaling of UK construction and the fact that market conditions are expected to remain challenging.
The Group also remains well positioned to deliver the medium-term targets for growth that we announced in 2010, namely
o to double revenue in the Middle East and in Canada, in each case to around £1 billion over three to five years
o to deliver substantial organic growth in UK support services from 2012 onwards
o to re-scale UK construction, reducing revenue from the 2009 level of £1.8 billion to around £1.2 billion by 2013
These targets have been set to achieve substantial earnings growth, with the reduction in UK construction revenue more than outweighed by growth in support services, the Middle East and Canada, and with margins increasing as a result of reducing our lowest margin activity, UK construction, and growing our higher margin businesses.
In addition, the acquisition of Carillion Energy Services in April 2011 immediately enhanced the Group's prospects for growth in 2011 and over the medium term.

Notes to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements
1 Basis of preparation
Carillion plc (the 'Company') is a company domiciled in the United Kingdom (UK). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interest in jointly controlled entities.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and with International Accounting
Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
This interim financial information has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation which were applied in the preparation of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, except for the following accounting standards and interpretations which are effective for the Group from 1 January 2011:
· Amendments to International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 14 'Prepayment of a minimum funding requirement'
· International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 19 'Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments'
· International Accounting Standard (IAS) 24 'Related party disclosures (revised 2009)'
· Amendment to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 32 'Classification of rights issue'
· Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 7 'Improving disclosures about financial instruments'
The amendment to IFRIC 14 'Prepayment of a minimum funding requirement' removes the unintended consequence of when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirement (MFR) and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendment results in a prepayment of contributions in certain circumstances being recognised as an asset rather than an expense. This amendment has had no impact on profit, earnings per share or net assets in the six months ended 30 June 2011.
IFRIC 19 'Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments' clarifies the accounting treatment for when an entity renegotiates the terms of its debt, such that the liability is extinguished, in whole or in part, by the entity issuing its own equity instruments to the lender (referred to as a 'debt for equity swap'). The adoption of IFRIC 19 has had no impact on the profit, earnings per share or net assets in the six months ended 30 June 2011.
The amendment to IAS 24 'Related party disclosures (revised 2009)' clarifies disclosure requirements for government-related entities and amends the definition of a related party. The amendment to IAS 24 has had no impact on profit, earnings per share or net assets in the six months ended 30 June 2011.
The amendment to IAS 32 'Classification of rights issues' states that if such rights are issued pro rata to all of an entity's existing shareholders in the same class for a fixed amount of currency, they should be classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. The amendment to IAS 32 has had no impact on profit, earnings per share or net assets in the six months ended 30 June 2011.
The amendment to IFRS 7 'Improving disclosures about financial instruments' makes changes to the disclosure requirements for financial instruments. This amendment has had no impact on profit, earnings per share or net assets in the six months ended 30 June 2011.
In addition to the above, amendments to a number of standards under the annual improvements project to IFRS, which are mandatory for the period ending 30 June 2011, have been adopted in 2011. None of these amendments have had a material impact on the Group's financial statements.
The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2010 does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the purposes of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 for that financial year. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2010 have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified, did not include references to any matter which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Group's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are described in the interim management review. The Group has considerable financial resources, including a £737.5 million committed syndicated facility expiring in March 2016. The Group has long-term contracts with a number of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas and industries. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The Directors confirm that, after making enquiries, they have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed interim financial statements.
2 Segmental reporting
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's strategic operating segments. The operating segment reporting format reflects the differing economic characteristics and nature of the services provided by the Group and is the basis on which strategic operating decisions are made by the Group Chief Executive, who is the Group's chief operating decision maker.
Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis, expect finance items and income tax.
Operating segments
The Group comprises the following main operating segments:
Support services
In this segment we report the results of our facilities management, facilities services, energy services, road maintenance, rail services, utility services and consultancy businesses.
Public Private Partnership projects
In this segment we report the equity returns on our investments in Public Private Partnership projects in our chosen sectors of Defence, Health, Education, Transport, Secure, Energy Services and other Government accommodation.

Integration and rationalisation costs |

Integration and rationalisation costs of £20.0 million primarily relates to redundancy and property exit costs arising from a review of the Group's requirements following the acquisition of Carillion Energy Services including relatively modest costs associated with focusing the Canadian construction services business on the growing Public Private Partnership market in the region.
Rationalisation costs of £9.4 million in 2010 relate to non-recurring redundancy and other associated costs incurred to ensure that the Group's cost base reflects the expected reduction in our UK construction market as indicated in the UK Government's Emergency Budget on 22 June 2010 and confirmed in the Comprehensive Spending Review in October 2010.
An income tax credit in respect of the half year ended 30 June 2011 of £4.1 million (30 June 2010: £2.6 million; 31 December 2010: £1.6 million) relating to the above has been included within taxation in the income statement.

The disposals generated cash consideration of £14.8 million (before disposal costs of £0.4 million), of which £7.5 million was received in June 2011 and £7.3 million in July 2011, and a non-operating profit of £6.1 million.
In addition, the Group disposed of a small joint venture in the Netherlands. The disposal generated a cash consideration of £6.9 million (before disposal costs of £0.6 million) and a non-operating profit of £1.8 million.
Acquisition costs in 2011 of £8.0 million relate to adviser costs incurred in relation to the Carillion Energy Services acquisition contracts and due diligence procedures. An income tax credit of £0.5 million has been included in the income statement in respect of these costs.
In the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group disposed if its equity interest in two Public Private Partnership investments. The disposals generated cash consideration of £45.8 million and a non-operating profit of £16.8 million.

5 Income tax
The Group's income tax expense (including the Group's share of jointly controlled entities' income tax) for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is calculated based on the estimated average annual effective underlying income tax rate of 16% (six months ended 30 June 2010: 17%; 31 December 2010: 16%). This effective rate differs to the UK standard corporation tax rate of 26.5% (six months ended 30 June 2010: 28%; 31 December 2010: 28%) primarily due to items such as the effect of tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the recognition of deferred tax on trading losses. An income tax credit arises on jointly controlled entities' profits due to the combination of non-taxable profits arising in the Middle East and the resolution of certain issues with the tax authorities in relation to PPP jointly controlled entities.
The UK Government's Budget on 23 March 2011 announced new phased reductions in the main corporation tax rate over the next three years. The reduction in rate to 25% with effect from 1 April 2012, which became substantively enacted on 5 July 2011, would not have had a material impact on the Group's effective underlying tax rate of 16% if the change had been substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
6 Earnings per share
(a) Basic earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is based on the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent of £32.7 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: £51.5 million; year ended 31 December 2010: £147.2 million) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue of 411.3 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: 398.5 million; year ended 31 December 2010: 399.0 million), calculated as follows:

11 Acquisitions and disposals
Acquisitions
On 14 February 2011, Carillion plc purchased 41,580,041 Eaga plc shares in the market at a cash cost of £49.9 million.
On 21 April 2011, the Group obtained control of the remaining issued share capital of Eaga plc, which when combined with a cost for acquiring shares on 14 February 2011, resulted in a total consideration of £298.4 million. The total consideration was satisfied by the issue of 30.6 million Carillion plc shares valued at the quoted mid-market price at the close of business on the day preceding the effective date of acquisition of 384.36 pence and £180.7 million in cash.
On acquisition Eaga plc was rebranded Carillion Energy Services. Carillion Energy Services is a leading provider of energy efficiency solutions. The Group believes that the acquisition represents a strategic move that will provide the Group with a strong position in a number of new and attractive markets and enhance its ability to provide existing and new customers with integrated support services solutions. The acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings enhancing even before synergies. The Group believes it can achieve synergies in the enlarged group of £15 million by the end of 2013 with one-off costs of delivering those savings in the region of £20 million.
The acquisition had the following effect on the Group's assets and liabilities:

Total consideration |

Based on the provisional assessment of the recognised values of assets and liabilities, goodwill arising on the acquisition is expected to be £304.1 million. The assessments made are provisional due to the inherent uncertainty regarding the realisation of asset values and the completeness of liabilities and provisions arising from the relatively short period between when the acquisition was completed and the balance sheet date. The goodwill recognised represents the benefits of cost savings arising from the elimination of duplication and the potential for significant cross-selling opportunities within the enlarged Group, together with providing the enlarged Group with access to energy efficiency markets that have substantial growth prospects.
Fair value adjustments
The principal fair value adjustment relates to £61.1 million of goodwill on the Carillion Energy Services balance sheet at the date of acquisition which is reclassified at the same value as goodwill on Carillion's balance sheet under the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
A contingent liability of £19.0 million has been recognised for the future distributions to employees from the Eaga Partnership Trust (EPT) which crystallises a National Insurance cost to the company. A full provision has been recognised at the current rate of 13.8% on the total assets currently held by the EPT which are available for potential distribution. The timings and quantum of these future distributions are determined by the EPT.
The £4.9 million accounting policy adjustment results from applying Carillion's policy in respect of expensing rather than capitalising certain bid costs associated with the securing of new contracts.
The £28.7 million of acquired intangible assets relates to the value ascribed to acquired customer lists and contracts, net of attributable deferred tax.

The value of equity shares issued is based on the mid-market price of Carillion plc shares at the close of business on 20 April 2011 of 384.36 pence and the total number of shares issued of 30,613,192.
At the point of obtaining control of Eaga plc on 21 April 2011, the shares purchased on 14 February 2011 had a fair value of £49.4 million. As a result of re-measuring these shares to fair value on acquisition, a loss of £0.5 million has been recognised within administrative expenses in the income statement. This has been offset by the Eaga plc 2011 interim dividend which was paid to Carillion plc in respect of the Eaga plc shares held.
Cash flows associated with acquisitions are included in the cash flow statement as follows:

(182.7) |
Acquisition costs of £8.0 million were incurred in relation to the acquisition contracts and due diligence procedures. These costs have been included as a non-operating item in the income statement (see note 3).
In the period from acquisition to 30 June 2011, Carillion Energy Services contributed revenue of £144.2 million and a reported loss after tax of £12.6 million (after rationalisation costs and intangible amortisation) to consolidated profit for the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2011, Group revenue would have been £2,695.3 million and profit after tax would have been £16.9 million for the period ended 30 June 2011.
Disposals
In June 2011, the Group disposed of it's equity investments in two Public Private Partnership projects and a support services jointly controlled entity. The disposals generated a cash consideration of £21.3 million (net of expenses paid of £0.4 million), of which £14.0 million has been recognised in the cash flow statement. The remaining £7.3 million was received on 1 July 2011 and is recognised within trade and other receivables at 30 June 2011.
12 Share capital
On 21 April 2011, 30,613,192 shares were issued in relation to the acquisition of Eaga plc. The issued and fully paid share capital at 30 June 2011 was 430.3 million shares (30 June 2010: 399.6 million; 31 December 2010: 399.7 million).
13 Estimates
The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except in relation to key assumptions used to determine defined benefit pension obligations as disclosed in note 8 and the provisional assessment of goodwill and intangible assets arising on the acquisition of Eaga plc as disclosed in note 11.
14 Guarantees and contingent liabilities
The Group has entered into guarantees in respect of letters of credit issued by banks in relation to deferred equity payments, interest payments in jointly controlled entities and performance contracts in Public Private Partnership jointly controlled entities. These guarantees in total amount to £155.6 million (31 December 2010: £144.7 million) with the increase since December 2010 reflecting increasing commitments during the construction phase in respect of Public Private Partnership projects. There has been no material change to the contingent liabilities of the Group in the six months ended 30 June 2011.

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2011, which comprises the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ('the DTR') of the UK's Financial Services Authority ('the UK FSA'). Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FSA.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410: 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTR of the UK FSA.
