  The Group's floating rate borrowings relate to its committed facility of £60.0m arranged by Burdale Financial Limited, the

  assets, in particular its plant, machinery and receivables under its rail renewal and plant hire contracts. Subsequent to the  
  year end the Group negotiated a £50.0m facility and extended the terms of its borrowings to 31 January 2011.

  Provisions represent the best estimate of obligations at the balance sheet date. The provision for onerous leases has been     
  calculated at the net present value of rent payable less rents receivable (having taken account of potential void years and    
  lease incentives) up to the end of the lease. Allowance has been made for empty rates and agents' fees.                        
  The restructuring provision principally relates to the restructuring of the Rail and Plant businesses, following a significant 
  reduction in demand by Network Rail for these services. The other provisions relate to liabilities in respect of contracts and 
  third party claims and represent the net present value of the expected cash outflow in relation to these obligations.

  Non-derivative financial instruments consist of cash at bank, short term deposits, trade and other receivables, bank overdrafts, borrowings and trade and other payables. The fair value of these 
  approximate to the carrying value in the balance sheet. The fair value of the non-current borrowings is their net present value computed at the market rate that would arise if the commitment    
  had been entered into at the balance sheet date. The fair value of all other non-derivative financial instruments approximate to their carrying values because of the short term maturity of      
  these instruments. A summary of the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities held by the Group is given below.

  The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities of the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, whilst maximising the return to stakeholders through optimisation of the debt and 
  equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to holders of the parent, comprising issued share capital and reserves as        
  disclosed in the accounting policies. The Group is not subject to external imposed capital requirements, other than the minimum capital requirements and duties regarding reduction of capital,   
  as imposed by the Companies Act 2006 for all Public Limited Companies.

  The Group has a centralised Treasury function whose primary role is to manage the financial risks that the Group is exposed to, within parameters approved by the Group Board. These risks        
  include interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The Group does not undertake any material transactions in foreign currencies.                                                        
  Interest rate risk                                                                                                                                                                                
  The Group's floating rate borrowings relate to its Burdale Financial Limited banking facilities, further details of which are given in Note 18. These borrowings are subject to floating rates of 
  interest linked to the LIBOR. A one percentage point rise in interest rates would increase the annual net interest charge on these borrowings by approximately £0.3m.                             
  Liquidity risk                                                                                                                                                                                    
  The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient banking facilities and continuously monitoring its forecast and actual cash flows. Details of undrawn borrowing facilities, and a  
  maturity profile of the Group's borrowings are given in Note 18.                                                                                                                                  
  Credit risk                                                                                                                                                                                       
  Credit risk arises on financial instruments held by the Jarvis Group, being trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure that credit is only   
  given to customers that have an appropriate credit history and cash is deposited with highly credit-rated authorised counterparties based on ratings issued by the major rating agencies. A       
  significant proportion of the Group's trading is with one customer, Network Rail, which gives rise to a concentration of credit risk.                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                    
  Trade receivables are included in the balance sheet net of provision for impairment, estimated by the Group's management on an individual customer by customer basis. This is based on prior      
  experience and their assessment of the current economic environment. The ageing of trade receivables and provision for impairment are detailed in the table below. There are no reasons to        
  believe that those debts past due but not impaired are not recoverable.
