Charles Toner, Chairman of Barratt Developments commented:
I am pleased to report another half year of solid achievement with further
increases in completions and profits. Our national geographic coverage, wide
product range, expertise in brownfield development and expanding social housing,
have all contributed to another strong performance. We remain well positioned
for future growth.
David Pretty, Group Chief Executive of Barratt Developments commented:
Our team performed well across the country despite a very competitive market
place. Together with an intense focus on all aspects of operational management,
this secured another good result. At the same time, we again strengthened our
land bank. Healthy forward sales at the half year have now increased to £910m
which, together with completions to date, secures 90% of our full year
requirement. On current form we are on track for another successful year and are
in good shape going forward.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Notwithstanding a competitive market place, I am pleased to report another half
year of solid achievement. Further increases in completions and underlying
profits puts us on course for a 14th consecutive year of progress.
The main features of the results for the half year ended 31 December 2005, with
comparisons to the same period last year and prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), are as follows:-
• Pre-tax profit increased to £163.9m against £163.5m. Underlying pre-tax
profit, excluding the £6.4m profit on disposal of ground rents in 2004,
increased by 4% from £157.1m to £163.9m.
• Basic earnings per share amounted to 48.2p against 48.8p. Adjusted basic
earnings per share 48.2p (2004: 46.9p, after adjusting for the £4.5m profit
after tax on the disposal of ground rents), up 3%
• An interim dividend of 10.34p per share will be paid, on 26 May 2006, to
shareholders on the register on 5 May 2006, against 8.99p the previous year,
an increase of 15%, 4.7 times covered. This represents one third of the
expected dividend for the year.
• UK completions rose to 7,003 homes, up 2%, at an overall average selling
price of £166,600, up 1%.
• Turnover on continuing UK operations rose 2% to £1,172.0m against
£1,148.2m last year.
• UK housebuild operating margin increased from 14.4% to 14.8%
• Net cash in hand was £3.3m compared to £149.8m. This was achieved
notwithstanding a £296.0m increased investment in land and work in progress.
• UK land stocks, including plots agreed, increased during the year by
over 3,900 plots to a record 63,365 plots, equating to 4.3 years' supply.
• Return on average capital employed was 30.1%, again amongst the highest
in the industry.
• Forward sales at the half year stood at £708m and have since increased
to £910m which, with completions to date, secures 90% of our full year
projection.
These results reflect the benefits of our core strengths and proven marketing
ability to achieve sales in tougher times. Our extensive product range enabled
us to provide homes in most market sectors, whilst maintaining an affordable
average selling price of £166,600. Further growth in our social housing activity
was another strength. Together with our national geographic coverage, these
ensured our homes appealed to the widest range of buyers and we were able to
increase market share despite competitive conditions. Our brownfield development
skills also continued to be a great benefit and reinforced our leading position
in urban regeneration, with over 80% of our homes built on brownfield land.
Total completions rose by 2%, with private completions just 1% lower at 5,569
homes but with social housing completions increasing by 14% to 1,434 homes. This
is another important and expanding sector where we have established leadership
and which will increasingly benefit us in the future.
Overall, it was a challenging market throughout 2005 as it continued its
adjustment from previous high levels of activity. We had prepared for tougher
times, with wide-ranging and improved efficiencies in our selling and marketing
operation and also by steadily increasing sales outlets. Combined, these helped
counter the effects of the testing market and kept our sales on track.
A wide range of incentives and marketing support continued to be necessary.
However, quite apart from our ongoing strict control of building costs, last
year we implemented a wide-ranging programme of overhead efficiencies in every
one of our divisions. This has mitigated the effect of higher sales costs and
ensured satisfactory operating margins.
Whilst the market remains competitive, there have been positive signs in the
first weeks of 2006 that buyer confidence is improving with encouraging recent
sales trends. It is too early to predict the market for the rest of the year,
but current conditions are sufficient for us to achieve our goals. As a result,
forward sales have increased and now stand at a healthy £910m. With completions
to date, this secures 90% of our full year projection. These remain above our
historic norms.
The fundamentals of the housing market are sound with low interest rates, good
employment levels and the serious constraint on supply due to continuing delays
in the planning system. We see a steady market in the year ahead with prices
rising modestly. This should continue to increase buyer confidence and improve
affordability which, in turn, should benefit our future sales performance.
We continued to steadily improve our land bank securing quality sites in a wide
variety of locations throughout the country. During the half year we acquired
9,305 plots, increasing our land stocks to 56,365 plots. A further 7,000 plots
are agreed subject to contract giving an overall land bank of 63,365 plots,
which currently equates to 4.3 years supply. The planning system remains very
difficult but we now have planning permissions in place for 90% of our 2006/07
requirement. Subject to continued planning progress, we expect our sales outlets
to increase to an average of circa 465 during 2006.
I am pleased to report that for a third consecutive year, our site construction
staff won an increased number of NHBC 'Pride in the Job' awards for quality
workmanship. A total of 73 awards were achieved, a new record and more than any
other housebuilder. Three of our Site Managers also achieved national
recognition.
After 25 years with the Group, the last 14 of which as Group Finance Director,
Colin Dearlove will be retiring at the end of this financial year. We wish him a
long and happy retirement after his exemplary service to the Group. Mark Pain,
formerly Group Finance Director at Abbey National PLC, joined the Group as an
Executive Director on 1 March 2006 to succeed Colin. They will work closely to
ensure an orderly handover.
In summary, we competed well in all operational areas despite testing market
conditions. Our national geographic coverage and wide product range, combined
with our urban regeneration and social housing expertise, all contributed to
another improved performance. Together with our strong forward sales, quality
land bank and strong finances, these core strengths leave us well positioned for
the full year and for the future.

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of accounting
_________________________________________________________________________________________
The interim financial statement has been prepared in accordance with applicable
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). There is, however, a
possibility that the directors may determine that some changes are necessary
when preparing the full annual financial statements for the first time in
accordance with IFRS, in particular as the IFRS standards and International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations that will
be applicable and adopted for use in the European Union at 30 June 2006 are not
known with certainty at the time of preparing this interim financial
information.
The financial information does not constitute statutory accounts within the
meaning of the Companies Act 1985. A copy of the statutory accounts for the year
ended 30 June 2005, prepared under UK GAAP, has been filed with the Registrar of
Companies on which the auditors gave an unqualified opinion.
2. Accounting Policies
________________________________________________________________________________
Barratt Developments PLC will be presenting its 30 June 2006 accounts in
accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
which are effective (or available for early adoption) as at 30 June 2006. The
same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this
interim report.
The more important accounting policies, which are expected to be disclosed in
the IFRS compliant financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June
2006 are set out below: -
Basis of consolidation
The Group accounts include the results of the holding company and all its
subsidiary undertakings made up to 30 June for the full year and 31 December for
the interim. The financial statements of subsidiary undertakings are
consolidated from the date when control passed to the Group using the
acquisition method of accounting and up to the date of disposal. All
transactions with subsidiaries and inter-company profits or losses are
eliminated on consolidation.
On acquisition of a subsidiary, all of the subsidiary's identifiable assets and
liabilities existing at the date of acquisition are recorded at their fair
values reflecting their conditions at that date. All changes to those assets and
liabilities, and the resulting gains and losses that arise after the Group has
gained control of the subsidiary are charged to the post-acquisition income
statement.
Revenue
Revenue comprises the total proceeds of building and development on legal
completion during the year excluding inter-company transactions and value added
tax. The sale proceeds of part exchange houses are not included in turnover.
Inventories
Inventories and work in progress, are valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value.
Property, plant and equipment
Freehold properties are depreciated on a straight line basis over twenty five
years. Plant is depreciated on a straight line basis over its expected useful
life, which ranges from one to seven years.
Leases
Operating lease rentals are charged to the income statement in equal instalments
over the life of the lease.
Share-based payments
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees and
has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 'Share-based payments'. In accordance
with the transitional provisions, IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of
equity instruments after 7 November 2002 that had not vested as at 1 January
2005.
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of
grant. The fair value is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting
period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred
tax.
The tax currently payable is based on the profit for the year. Taxable profit
differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes
items of income or expense that are tax deductible in other years and it further
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for
current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have
originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or
events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to
pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date.
A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised
only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more
likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the
future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Pensions
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for certain employees.
The Group's contributions to the scheme are charged against profits in the year
in which the contributions are made.
For the defined benefit scheme, the obligations are measured at discounted
present value whilst plan assets are recorded at fair value. The calculation of
the net obligation is performed by a qualified actuary. The operating and
financing costs of the plan are recognised separately in the income statement;
service costs are spread systematically over the lives of the employees and
financing costs are recognised in the period in which they arise. Actuarial
gains and losses are spread over a number of years, as an adjustment to the
pension expense in the income statement, making use of the 10% corridor to
reduce volatility. Cumulative actuarial gains and losses were recognised at 1
July 2004, the beginning of the first IFRS reporting period, and are reflected
within the net obligation at that date.

4. Discontinued Operations

On 30 August 2004 the group disposed of its small Southern California
housebuilding operation at no profit or loss. The results of the discontinued
operations, which have been included in the consolidated income statement were

6. Earnings Per Share
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to
ordinary shareholders of £114.8m (half year to 31 December 2004: £114.4m and
year ended 30 June 2005: £282.1m) by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue, excluding those held by the Employee Benefit Trust which are
treated as cancelled, which were 238.0m (half year to 31 December 2004: 234.4m
and year ended 30 June 2005: 235.2m).
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary
shares from the start of the accounting period, giving a figure of 241.7m (half
year to 31 December 2004: 237.4m and year ended 30 June 2005: 238.1m).
