Chairman's Statement 
 
The challenging trading conditions of 2009 continued into the first half of 2010 
as a result of the absence of construction activity. However we are pleased to 
report that towards the end of the first half of 2010 the Company started seeing 
signs of a return of demand for its specialist construction services.  This 
increased demand was evident in Mountfield's traditional data centre market as 
the broader economic climate continued to improve.  Additionally the wider 
construction markets also showed clear signs of increased activity which will 
benefit Mountfield's strategy of utilising its respected base of core skills to 
secure revenues from a broader range of construction related projects. 
 
Confidence that has started to return to the sector has been reflected in the 
number and size of tenders that the Group is participating in and the 
indications are that some of the data centre contracts which were postponed from 
2009 will hopefully commence during the first quarter of 2011. 
 
In the first half of 2010 the Group's revenue was GBP4.8m and the Group has 
returned to profitability with a profit of GBP64k before taxation compared to a 
loss before taxation of GBP767k in the corresponding period of 2009. This 
improvement has been achieved through the rigorous implementation of a cost 
reduction programme and extensive efforts to win new business by extending the 
client base and targeting higher margin work. Ongoing contracts that the Company 
continued to service during the period included signature London property 
projects 1 Hyde Park and the RAC club on Pall Mall. 
Outlook 
 
Trading conditions remain difficult and the pressure on margins has not eased. 
However the Directors believe that given the increased level of activity and the 
contracts under discussion, the Group should be in a position to maintain 
profitability for this year and look forward to both increased turnover and 
profitability for 2011. 
 
The Directors anticipate that the Group's participation in the SnOasis 
development at Swaffenham in Suffolk could lead to significant revenues as 
construction contracts, including those for the planned new housing that will be 
built on the site, are awarded. 
 
The Group is engaged in negotiations for the construction of three new UK data 
centres, which are all likely to start building work during the next financial 
year.  As highlighted at the preliminary results, the Group is in negotiation 
with several parties regarding potential opportunities to develop the Group's 
data centre business in Eastern Europe and South Africa.  These discussions are 
continuing and the Company remains excited about participating in these markets 
where there is clear need for data centres and Mountfield's services. 
 
The development of Mountfield's service offering coupled with signs of 
improvement in the data centre market allows the Directors to remain confident 
of the Group's prospects during the second half of this year.

1.         Notes to the Interim Report 
 
Basis of preparation 
The Group's interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2010 
were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2010. 
 
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 2009 have been 
filed with the registrar of companies at Companies House. The audit report on 
the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2009 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 2010 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 2009. 
 
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 centralized 
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 and fit-out 
Direct contracting and trade contracting services and a provider of flooring 
systems to both main contractors and corporate end users. 
 
Land sourcing 
Sourcing land and enhancing value.

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 were:
