Mountfield Group Plc (the "Company" or "the Group")
Half-yearly report to 30 June 2017
Mountfield Group Plc ("the Group"), the AIM listed commercial
flooring and specialist construction services company announces its
half-yearly report to 30 June 2017.
-- Net profit before tax for the first half of 2017 was GBP305k (2016: GBP316k).
-- The Board expects a markedly improved performance from the Group for 2017 over 2016.
-- Connaught Access Flooring Limited ("CAF" or "Connaught") has
won over GBP6m worth of contracts since the beginning of 2017.
-- The Board anticipates that CAF is about to win another
significant contract - one with an initial value of cGBP4m.
-- Mountfield Building Group Limited ("MBG") is in negotiation
over a number of valuable opportunities and its performance in the
second half of the year is expected to be substantially
stronger.
Andy Collins - Group CEO said:
"The first half of 2017 saw exciting developments for both
Companies.
CAF has successfully tendered for GBP6m of new business since 1
January 2017 and expects shortly to confirm the gaining of a new,
substantial contract. Together, this demonstrates the progress it
has made in establishing itself as one of the few top-tier
commercial flooring suppliers and installers. It also underlines
its status as one of the very few commercial flooring companies
that major construction companies and developers will trust when
choosing a specialist able to take on a complex and valuable
project, and one that has the proven ability to produce a very high
quality product within a tight time schedule.
This level of turnover (the aggregate won in the first six
months is more than it has previously won in a twelve month period)
will ensure a strong performance during the current year and
provide it with a strong start for 2018.
With a number of exciting opportunities under negotiation with
both existing and new clients, the Board expects MBG to perform
strongly in the second half of the year in terms of the profitable
delivery of current projects and in securing significant new ones
for completion in 2018 in line with its recently adopted business
criteria and strategy."

Chairman and CEO's Statement
The first half of 2017 saw the Group generate a net profit
before tax of GBP305k a figure that was in line with that earned in
the corresponding period of 2016 (GBP316k).
The Board is very pleased with the progress that the Group has
made in the first half of 2017 and expects a stronger performance
in the second half of the year over that achieved in 2016 and that,
as a result, the full year figures will reflect a marked
improvement compared with those for the 2016 financial year.
Connaught
CAF has had an extremely satisfactory first half and achievement
is reflected in the net profit of GBP408k earned during the first
half (2016: GBP397k) but more particularly in the new business it
has acquired to be undertaken during 2017-8. The first three of
these contracts had already been announced and of them, two were
separate contract stages in respect of a single property that were
announced on 7 March 2017 (value of GBP1.2m) and on 29 August 2017
with a value of GBP1.5m to be undertaken in the 12 months from
October 2017. In addition, the Company was awarded a contract
valued at GBP2.5m (announced on 7 March 2017) for completion during
2017.
In addition to these contracts, the Board is confident that CAF
is about to be awarded a particularly significant contract - one
with an initial value of circa GBP4m - to supply and install
flooring at another major office development in the City of
London.
The Board expects that the Company's successes in 2017 are
unlikely to be limited to these contracts. The market remains
strong in terms of tender activity and CAF expects to secure
additional works including some to be undertaken in 2018.
MBG
MBG's levels of activity and involvement in tendering and
contract negotiations in the first half of the year were not
reflected in its performance and in particular in the net profit of
GBP44k (2016: GBP71k). The announcement on 6 September of it having
won contracts for a single client with an aggregate value of
approximately GBP750k and another where the client has provided MBG
with a letter of intent enabling it to procure essential materials
in advance of the commencement of a contract with a value in excess
of GBP1m. These contracts are expected by the Board to be followed
by a series of other contract wins during the remaining months of
2017.
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 backbone for 2018.

1. Notes to the Interim Report
Basis of preparation
The Group's interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2017 were authorised for issue by the directors on 12
September 2017.
The consolidated interim 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 2016 have been filed with
the Registrar of Companies at Companies House. The audit report
on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December
2016 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 2017 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
2016.
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. 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:
Mountfield
Direct contracting and trade contracting services to both main
contractors and corporate end users.
Connaught
Providing raised flooring systems to both main contractors and
corporate end users.

4. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
earnings attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average
number of shares in issue. In calculating the diluted earnings
per share, share options outstanding have been taken into
account
where the impact of these is dilutive.
The weighted average number of shares in the period was:
