NORTHERN ELECTRIC plc
HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE
2018
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
Cautionary Statement
This interim management report has been prepared solely to
provide additional information to shareholders to assess the
business strategies of Northern Electric plc (the "Company") and
its subsidiaries (together the "Group") and should not be relied on
by any other party or for any other purpose.
Business Model
The Company is part of the Northern Powergrid Holdings Company
group of companies (the "Northern Powergrid Group") and its
principal activity during the six months to 30 June 2018 was to act
as a holding company, with its main operating subsidiaries being
Northern Powergrid (Northeast) Limited ("Northern Powergrid"),
Integrated Utility Services Limited ("IUS") and Northern Powergrid
Metering Limited ("Metering").
Northern Powergrid distributes electricity to approximately 1.6
million customers connected to its electricity distribution network
in the North East of England and is an authorised distributor under
the Electricity Act 1989. IUS provides engineering contracting
services to various clients and Metering rents smart meters to
energy suppliers.
Results for the six months ended 30 June 2018
The Group delivered a satisfactory performance for the six
months ended 30 June 2018, although profit after tax reduced by
GBP1.9 million when compared to the previous year mainly as a
result of higher depreciation partly offset by higher smart meter
rental revenue.
IUS continued to operate its engineering contracting business
although saw a decrease in revenues in the six months to 30 June
2018.
Metering continued to deliver a satisfactory performance in
terms of the contracts secured with energy suppliers for the
provision of smart meters in the United Kingdom and Ireland and
also to develop further opportunities with other energy
suppliers.
Revenue
Revenue at GBP206.2 million was GBP6.8 million higher than for
the six months ended 30 June 2017 mainly due to higher smart meter
rental revenue and distribution revenue, partly offset by lower
contracting revenues.
Cash flow
Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2018 were GBP15.9
million, representing a decrease of GBP0.7 million when compared
with the position at 31 December 2017.
Northern Powergrid has access to GBP75.0 million under a
five-year committed revolving credit facility provided by Lloyds
Bank plc, Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Abbey National Treasury
Services plc, which is due to expire on 30 April 2020.
In addition, the Group has access to short-term borrowing
facilities provided by Yorkshire Electricity Group plc, a related
party, and to a GBP22 million overdraft facility provided by Lloyds
Bank plc.
Financial position
Profit before tax at GBP68.7 million was GBP2.8 million lower
than the six months ended 30 June 2017 mainly as a result of higher
depreciation and higher operating costs, partly offset by higher
smart metering rental income.
Dividends
No ordinary dividends were paid in the period resulting in
GBP55.2 million being transferred to reserves.
Related party transactions
The Company provides certain corporate functions to the Northern
Powergrid Group, including financial accounting and planning,
treasury, taxation, pensions, internal audit, legal advice,
insurance management, claims handling and litigation services.
Further details of the related party transactions entered into
by the Group and the Company and changes therein are included in
Note 8 to this half-yearly financial report.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Information concerning the principal long-term risks and
uncertainties and the internal control system are included in the
Group's latest annual reports and accounts for the year to 31
December 2017, which is available at www.northernpowergrid.com.
It is anticpated that these risks will continue to be the
principal risks facing the business for the remaining six months of
2018.
Going concern
In the Group's latest annual reports and accounts for the year
to 31 December 2017 the directors set out a number of factors they
took into account when they considered continuing to adopt the
going concern basis in preparing those annual reports and accounts.
The directors confirm that no events have occurred during the six
months to 30 June 2018, which alter the view expressed in the
annual reports and accounts to 31 December 2017.
Future strategy and objectives
The Company will continue to develop its business as a holding
company in a manner that concentrates on the Group's principal
activities of electricity distribution, engineering contracting and
the rental of meters to energy suppliers.
Responsibility Statement

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The information included within these condensed financial
statements that refer to the year ended 31 December 2017, does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year
has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor
reported on those accounts and that report was unqualified, did not
draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not
contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies
Act 2006.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial
statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,
'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European
Union.
Going concern
In the Company's latest annual reports and accounts for the year
to 31 December 2017 the directors set out a number of factors they
took into account when they considered continuing to adopt the
going concern basis in preparing those annual reports and accounts.
The directors confirm that no events have occurred during the six
months to 30 June 2018, which alter the view expressed in the
annual reports and accounts to 31 December 2017.
Changes in accounting policy
The Company's accounting policies and methods of computation are
the same as the accounting policies which are described in the
Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017,
with the only changes being outlined below.
Application of new and revised IFRS
In the current year, the company has a number of amendments to
IFRS by the International Accounting standards Board ("IASB) that
are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on
or after 1 January 2018:
IFRS 9- Financial Instruments A revised version of IFRS 9 was
issued to mainly include impairment
requirements for financial assets,
and amendments to the classification
and measurement requirements by
introducing a 'fair value through
other comprehensive income measurement
category for certain simple debt
instruments. The application of
these amendments has had no material
impact on the Company's financial
statements.
IFRS 15- Revenue from Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises
contracts with customers revenue when a performance obligation
is satisfied. Far more prescriptive
guidance has been added in IFRS
15 to deal with specific scenarios.
Furthermore, extensive disclosures
are required by IFRS 15. The application
of these amendments has had no
material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
New and revised standards in issue but not yet effective
The Company has not yet applied the following new and revised
IFRSs that have been issued but not yet effective for the period
ended 30 June 2018:
IFRS 16- Leases (1 January IFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive
2019) model for the identification of
lease arrangements and accounting
treatments for both lessors and
lessees. IFRS 16 will supersede
the current lease guidance including
IAS 17 Leases and the related
interpretations when it becomes
effective. IFRS 16 distinguishes
between leases and service contracts
on the basis of whether an identified
asset is controlled by a customer.
Distinctions between operating
leases and finance leases are
removed for lessee accounting,
and is replaced by a model where
right-of-use asset and a corresponding
liability have to be recognised
for all leases by lessees except
for short term leases and leases
of low-value assets. As at 30
June 2018, the Company had non-cancellable
operating lease commitments of
GBP11.6 million, IAS 17 does not
require recognition of any right-of-use
asset or liability for future
lease payments for these leases.
A preliminary assessment indicated
that these arrangements will meet
the definition of a lease under
IFRS 16, and hence the Company
will recognise a right-of-use
asset and corresponding liability
in respect of all these leases
unless they qualify for low-value
or short-term leases upon the
application of IFRS 16.

"Other" comprises business support units. However, in the
segmental analysis for June 2017 half-yearly financial report
"Other" also comprised smart meter rental, the increase in revenue
within smart meter rental now requires it to be reported separately
and the comparatives have been restated to reflect this.
Sales and purchases between the different segments are made at
commercial prices.

and finance costs and income tax expense.

The defined benefit obligation as at 30 June 2018 is calculated
on a year-to-date basis, using the annual actuarial valuation as at
31 December 2017. The triennial valuation as at 31 March 2016 was
finalised in September 2017. There have not been any significant
fluctuations or one-time events since that time that would require
adjustment to the actuarial assumptions made at June 2018.
