The company operates through five divisions: Facilities Services, Industrial Services, Project Services, Equipment Services and PFI Investments. Interserve is based in the UK and is listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: IRV). It trades in the FTSE 250 index and had a 2002 turnover of over #1.1 billion. * Turnover from core continuing operations comprises Group turnover of #557.4 million (H1 2002: #568.9 million) less turnover from discontinuing operations of #19.5 million (H1 2002: #28.8 million) and from discontinued operations of #nil (H1 2002: #6.8 million). ** Throughout this report, where reference is made to underlying or operating figures this is before the impact of operating losses from discontinuing operations of #2.1 million (H1 2002: #0.4 million) and discontinued operations of #nil (H1 2002: #0.1 million), goodwill amortisation of #4.7 million (H1 2002: #4.8 million) and the SSAP 24 charge of #4.2 million (H1 2002: #nil). Chairman's Statement At the interim stage the trading position and progress of the Group is in line with expectations. With a record order book and improving trends in the market, we are well placed for sustained long-term growth. As shown below, underlying profit before tax for the first half-year amounted to #22.1 million (H1 2002: #25.0 million). Resultant earnings per share were 13.5p (H1 2002: 14.7p), assuming a tax rate of 31% (H1 2002: 32%). 2003 H1 2002 H1 Profit before tax and goodwill amortisation #15.8 m #24.7 m Add back the following: Losses from: discontinuing operations #2.1 m #0.4 m discontinued operations - #0.1 m Prior year exceptional item: - (#0.2m) --------- --------- #17.9m #25.0m SSAP24 pension charge (no charge in H1 2002) #4.2 m - --------- --------- Underlying profit before tax #22.1 m #25.0m --------- --------- Overall, turnover for core continuing operations at #538 million remained, as expected, much in line with last year. Our balance sheet remains strong, with net debt at the half-year of #62.9 million (H1 2002: #65.9 million), representing gearing of 30%. Net interest payable of #1.6 million (H1 2002: #2.1 million) was covered over 10 times by operating profit. In June we successfully renewed and extended the Group's revolving credit facility to #165 million with a five-year term. The directors have approved an interim dividend of 4.2p (H1 2002: 4.0p), which will be paid on 3 November 2003 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 26 September 2003. We have made a number of changes to the board this year brought about primarily by the splitting of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive and succession planning. The changes have taken place smoothly and the Group now has a new Chief Executive, Adrian Ringrose, a new Group Finance Director, Tim Jones, a new Deputy Chairman and Senior Non-Executive Director, John Padovan, and three new Non-Executive Directors, Patrick Balfour, David Trapnell and Nicholas Keegan. This composition provides a well-balanced board to take the Group forward into its next stage of development and growth. Proposals to exit certain non-core operations, as announced in our July trading update, have been started and are proceeding according to plan. Action to exit non-core operations this year will strengthen the long-term earnings platform and growth potential for the business as the Group continues its successful strategy of development as an integrated service provider. The board expects this exit plan ultimately to yield a positive net cash inflow of some #10 million. There continues to be a significant flow of attractive opportunities in our chosen areas of operation, particularly in the public and privatised sectors, which provide some two-thirds of our workload. The main thrust of the Group's energy and resources is directed to the provision of a wide range of integrated services in such market sectors as health, education, prison service, defence, infrastructure and industry, all of which offer considerable potential for long-term growth. In all of these sectors we work closely with our clients to meet their specific needs and further develop the specialist expertise and knowledge that exists within the Group. Our overall client retention rate on relevant services/maintenance contracts continues to exceed 90%. We have secured over #700 million of contracts in the first half of the year. Notable amongst these are the PPP joint venture for the Army Training Estate, two PFI projects for the Defence Sixth Form College and Peterborough Prison, and a contract for major road improvements on the A5. In the private sector we have won new work from clients including BP, Texaco, BAE Systems, National Grid and BNFL. We have also been named preferred bidder on the MOD's Armada PFI project for the fleet accommodation centre at Plymouth, which will be worth a further #200 million in services for the Group. Enquiry levels are strong and we have excellent bidding opportunities in all of the sectors in which we operate. Prospects We are now seeing an improving trading environment, with future revenue underpinned by a record forward order book and pipeline of some #3.9 billion (2002 H1: #3.4 billion). The board remains very positive as to the long-term growth prospects for the Group as an integrated services provider. Mike Bottjer Chairman 15th September 2003 Chief Executive's Overview Operating profit from core continuing operations(1) was in line with expectations at #23.7 million (2002 H1: #27.1 million). Absorbed within this result was the impact of over #2 million additional general insurance and National Insurance costs. The associated turnover amounted to #538 million (2002 H1: #533 million). In July the Group announced the proposed closure of three non-core operations in tube & fitting townwork scaffolding, low voltage power distribution and rail signalling. These businesses contributed an operating loss of #2.1 million (2002 H1: #0.4 million loss) and a deteriorating cash performance and showed no prospects for sustained profitable growth. The exit programme is proceeding to plan. The Group reports operations under six main headings: Facilities Services, Industrial Services, Project Services, Equipment Services, PFI Investments and Group Services. Facilities Services performed well, increasing operating profit by 7% to #7.8 million on turnover increased by 6% to #217.6 million. The margin on turnover excluding the works bills element of MOD contracts, on which no margin is earned, increased to 5.4% (2002 H1: 5.3%). This division focuses on long-term, multi-service contracts, predominantly with public sector clients in health, defence and local authorities. Continued focus on service delivery improvements has resulted in contract extensions in this period with Network Rail, Royal & Sun Alliance and Defence Estates. The forward order book for this division, at the half-year, grew to some #2.24 billion (2002 H1: #2.17 billion), with a further #220 million in the pipeline. Industrial Services' operating profit from continuing businesses was #4.7 million (2002 H1: #5.6 million). Turnover increased to #64.7 million (2002 H1: #50.8 million) emanating from renewals and new contracts with clients including BAE Systems, BP Chemicals, Texaco, Urenco, BNFL, Lubrizol and Foster Wheeler. Margins were affected in the short term by front-end mobilisation costs associated with the new contracts mentioned above. This division provides a wide range of integrated services to industrial clients mainly in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, power and manufacturing sectors. During the first half, significant contract awards have extended the client base into the defence and nuclear plant decommissioning sectors, where prospects are encouraging for the long term. Following the decision to discontinue non-core operations, the division is now focused on developing through maintenance-led activities and on broadening the range of services offered to existing clients on industrial fixed sites. The forward order book for the division grew to #574 million (2002 H1: #566 million), with around #20 million in the pipeline, together with encouraging levels of enquiries and bidding opportunities. Project Services delivered operating profit of #7.0 million (2002 H1: #8.0 million). Following a particularly impressive result in 2002 this is a strong performance in line with the underlying trend. Margins remained stable at 3.4% (2002 H1: 3.5%) despite an adverse impact from foreign exchange rates in overseas operations. Turnover was #207 million (2002 H1: #230 million), reflecting the phasing of work within the year. The division's focus is on framework agreements, PFI projects and long-term maintenance contracts and further progress was made in all areas. New work secured included a framework agreement with the Department of Work & Pensions and new PFI contracts for Peterborough Prison, the Defence Sixth Form College in Loughborough and, in August, at the Inland Revenue project in Newcastle. In infrastructure, the focused strategy on highways resulted in the award of the A5 Weeford bypass and, latterly, the Peterborough-Blyth improvements on the A1. The latter project was awarded purely on the basis of quality and track record. Internationally, performance in the Middle East was mixed. The Iraq war affected confidence in Dubai but contributed to Qatar remaining buoyant. The forward order book for the division grew to #718 million at the half-year (2002 H1: #675 million), with around #90 million in the pipeline. Equipment Services' operating profit was #6.1 million (2002 H1: #6.8 million). At 16.5% (2002 H1: 19.4%), the first-half margin is below our expectations for this business. Causal factors were continuing quiet market conditions in the Far East and a lull in the UK market, compensated to some extent by strong trading in Australia and New Zealand and by sustained growth in Spain and in the Middle East, despite a temporary dip during the Iraq war. With indications of increased levels of activity in the UK and some recovery in the Far East, margins are expected to improve. This division provides a comprehensive design, hire and sale service for formwork and falsework equipment, which is used particularly on complex infrastructure projects. Operating profit from investments in PFI projects was #0.9 million (2002 H1: #1.6 million). On a pre-tax basis profit was #0.4 million less than the first half of 2002 due to the recognition of a prior-year credit in that period. During the first half we added three new PFI/PPP contracts to the portfolio, two of which (Peterborough Prison and the Army Training Estate) were at preferred bidder stage at the end of 2002. The third (Defence Sixth Form College) progressed rapidly from preferred bidder to contract signature and is now well into the construction phase. At the end of the period we had a portfolio of 18 investments and a total commitment of #33 million (2002 H1: #27 million), of which about half had already been invested. In addition Armada and the two Tyrone Colleges projects were at preferred bidder stage. In September we reached financial close on the Tyrone projects, taking our total to 20 secured and one at preferred bidder. Group Services costs were #2.8 million (2002 H1: #2.2 million). These comprise the cost of centrally-provided services, PFI portfolio management and bidding costs.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS For the six months ended 30 June 2003 1 Accounting policies The interim results have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's 2002 statutory accounts. 2 Net profit (loss) on sale or termination of discontinued operations 30.6.03 30.6.02 31.12.02 #million #million #million Profit on sale of West's Engineering Design/Tilbury Phoenix/Climate Equipment in 2002 - discontinued Profit before goodwill write off - 0.2 0.3 Goodwill write off - - (0.1) - 0.2 0.2 Net loss on sale or termination of discontinued operations - - (1.4) - 0.2 (1.2) 3 Net interest payable includes share of Joint Venture and Associated Undertakings net interest payable of #0.8 million (30.6.02 #1.0 million; 31.12.02 #1.7 million). 4 Taxation 30.06.03 30.06.02 31.12.02 #million #million #million UK and overseas taxation 4.8 7.9 10.7 Deferred taxation 0.2 - 1.9 5.0 7.9 12.6 The standard rate of tax for the period based on the UK standard rate of corporation tax is 30%. The actual tax charge for the current and previous period/year exceeds/is less than the standard rate for the reasons set out in the following reconciliation: 30.06.03 30.06.02 31.12.02 #million #million #million Profit on ordinary activities before tax 11.1 19.9 37.2 Tax on profit on ordinary activities at standard rate 3.3 6.0 11.2 Expenses not deductible for tax purposes (primarily goodwill amortisation) 1.6 1.4 3.3 Unrelieved losses in foreign subsidiaries 0.2 0.4 - Sale of subsidiaries - - 0.2 Indexation allowance (0.1) - (0.6) Capital allowances and other timing differences (0.2) - (2.6) Adjustments in respect of prior periods - - (0.4) Other - 0.1 (0.4) 4.8 7.9 10.7 5 The calculation of adjusted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of 113,071,568 (30 June 2002 113,601,429; 31 December 2002 113,473,523) and a profit after tax and minority interest excluding exceptional items and goodwill amortisation of #10.8 million (30 June 2002 #16.6 million; 31 December 2002 #36.0 million).

The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2003 have been reviewed but have not been audited. The accounts for the equivalent period in 2002 were neither audited nor reviewed, and the financial information set out above does not constitute full accounts as defined by section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. Independent review report to Interserve Plc Introduction We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2003 which comprises the profit and loss account, the reconciliation of movements in shareholders' funds, the statement of total recognised gains and losses, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement, the segmental analysis and the related notes 1 to 7. We have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information. This report is made solely to the company in accordance with Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review 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 formed. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting polices and presentation applied to the interim figures are consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with the guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information. Review conclusion On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months ended 30 June 2003.
