THE "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Statements included herein that are not historical facts, including without limitation statements concerning future strategy, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, projected revenues, the anticipated timing of clinical trials and approvals for, and the commercial potential of, inline or pipeline products, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time. In the event such risks or uncertainties materialize, Shire's results could be materially adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Shire's products may not be a commercial success;
increased pricing pressures and limits on patient access as a result of governmental regulations and market developments may affect Shire's future revenues, financial condition and results of operations;
Shire depends on third parties to supply certain inputs and services critical to its operations including certain inputs, services and ingredients critical to its manufacturing processes. Any disruption to the supply chain for any of Shire's products may result in Shire being unable to continue marketing or developing a product or may result in Shire being unable to do so on a commercially viable basis for some period of time;
the manufacture of Shire's products is subject to extensive oversight by various regulatory agencies. Regulatory approvals or interventions associated with changes to manufacturing sites, ingredients or manufacturing processes could lead to, among other things, significant delays, an increase in operating costs, lost product sales, an interruption of research activities or the delay of new product launches;
the nature of producing plasma-based therapies may prevent Shire from timely responding to market forces and effectively managing its production capacity;
Shire has a portfolio of products in various stages of research and development. The successful development of these products is highly uncertain and requires significant expenditures and time, and there is no guarantee that these products will receive regulatory approval;
the actions of certain customers could affect Shire's ability to sell or market products profitably. Fluctuations in buying or distribution patterns by such customers can adversely affect Shire's revenues, financial conditions or results of operations;
failure to comply with laws and regulations governing the sales and marketing of its products could materially impact Shire's revenues and profitability;
Shire's products and product candidates face substantial competition in the product markets in which it operates, including competition from generics;
Shire's patented products are subject to significant competition from generics;
adverse outcomes in legal matters, tax audits and other disputes, including Shire's ability to enforce and defend patents and other intellectual property rights required for its business, could have a material adverse effect on Shire's revenues, financial condition or results of operations;
Shire may fail to obtain, maintain, enforce or defend the intellectual property rights required to conduct its business;
Shire faces intense competition for highly qualified personnel from other companies and organizations;
failure to successfully execute or attain strategic objectives from Shire's acquisitions and growth strategy may adversely affect Shire's financial condition and results of operations;
Shire's growth strategy depends in part upon its ability to expand its product portfolio through external collaborations, which, if unsuccessful, may adversely affect the development and sale of its products;
a slowdown of global economic growth, or economic instability of countries in which Shire does business, could have negative consequences for Shire's business and increase the risk of non-payment by Shire's customers;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates could have a material adverse effect on Shire's operating results and liquidity;
Shire is subject to evolving and complex tax laws, which may result in additional liabilities that may adversely affect Shire's financial condition or results of operations;
if a marketed product fails to work effectively or causes adverse side effects, this could result in damage to Shire's reputation, the withdrawal of the product and legal action against Shire;
Shire is dependent on information technology and its systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including from service disruptions, the loss of sensitive or confidential information, cyber-attacks and other security breaches or data leakages that could have a material adverse effect on Shire's revenues, financial condition or results of operations;
Shire faces risks relating to the expected exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union;
Shire incurred substantial additional indebtedness to finance the Baxalta acquisition, which has increased its borrowing costs and may decrease its business flexibility;
the potential uncertainty among our employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners resulting from the announcement by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited on May 8, 2018 of a recommended offer for Shire under the U.K. Takeover Code; and a further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in Shire's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Shire's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, in each case including those risks outlined in "ITEM 1A: Risk Factors", and in Shire's subsequent reports on Form 8-K and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, all of which are available on Shire's website.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Chief Executive Officer's review

We are pleased to enclose our financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. This Half-yearly Report includes condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Flemming Ornskov, M.D., M.P.H. Shire's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Shire continued to deliver on its key priorities of commercial execution, pipeline advancement, debt pay-down, and portfolio optimization during the first half of 2018.

"In the first half of 2018, we reported total product sales of $7.4 billion, up 6% from the first half of 2017 driven by the strong performance of our Immunology franchise, continued uptake of our recently launched products, and expansion in international markets.

"During the second quarter, our Board reached an agreement with the Takeda Board on the terms of a recommended offer for Takeda to acquire Shire. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2019, subject to shareholder approval of both companies and additional regulatory approvals. In the meantime, we remain resolutely focused on execution as these results demonstrate.

"We continued to progress our innovative late-stage clinical pipeline, with 16 programs in Phase 3 and 7 in registration including lanadelumab. Lanadelumab is the first monoclonal antibody being evaluated to prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in patients 12 years of age and older, with the potential to change the treatment paradigm for this serious and sometimes life threatening rare disease.

"In addition, Shire announced other major milestones in the first half of 2018, including:

the divestment of the Oncology business to Servier S.A.S. for $2.4 billion;
the U.S. FDA approval for CINRYZE for pediatric use and a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommending marketing authorization for VEYVONDI in Europe.
the U.S. FDA approval of a new state-of-the-art plasma manufacturing facility near Covington, Georgia.

"Looking forward to the second half of 2018, we remain fully focused on delivering on our key priorities - commercial execution, pipeline progression, debt pay down, and portfolio optimization."

Holders of Ordinary Shares are advised that:

any previous elections made using versions of the IAS Arrangements election form in use prior to February 16, 2016, and any elections deemed to have been made prior to April 28, 2016, are no longer valid; and
if they do not elect, or have not elected using the newly formatted IAS Arrangements election forms published on or after February 16, 2016, to receive UK sourced dividends via Shire's IAS Arrangements, their dividends will be Irish sourced and therefore incur Irish dividend withholding tax, subject to applicable exemptions.

Going Concern
As stated in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Half-yearly Report.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company returned to a single segment approach to managing its business. This decision was precipitated by Shire's Board acceptance of Takeda's offer to acquire the Company and reflects the Company's focus on the performance of the entire business as it operates in this current environment. This step was taken to more closely align with how the financial information is viewed by the Executive Committee (Shire's chief operating decision maker) for the purposes of making resource allocation decisions and assessing the performance of the business. Additionally, in Q2 2018, the Company introduced a new product franchise called Established Brands to capture revenue for the its non-promoted products that are facing or could face generic competition, such as LIALDA and PENTASA.

Product sales

In the three months ended June 30, 2018, Product sales increased 6% to $3,808.6 million (2017: $3,591.8 million), driven by Immunology, up 13%, Internal Medicine, up 61%, and Ophthalmics, up 75%, off-setting the impact of generic competition on Established Brands.

In the six months ended June 30, 2018, Product sales increased 6% to $7,445.7 million (2017: $7,004.1 million), driven by Immunology, up 11%, Internal Medicine, up 49%, and Ophthalmics, up 69%, off-setting the impact of generic competition on Established Brands.

Immunology
Immunology product sales were $1,149.5 million and $2,275.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Immunoglobulin therapies growth of 20% and 16% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, was primarily driven by increased demand for subcutaneous and intravenous brands and international sales growth.

HAE product sales were up 9% and 5% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, driven by stocking for both CINRYZE and FIRAZYR, and to a lesser extent a price increase taken for FIRAZYR, partially offset by a decline in CINRYZE demand due to a competitor launch.

Bio therapeutics sales were unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared with the corresponding period in 2017 as increased demand was offset by large order phasing in international markets, whereas the six months ended June 30, 2018 growth of 6% over the corresponding period in 2017 was driven by demand and favorable foreign currency exchange.

Hematology
Hematology product sales were $951.0 million and $1,903.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Hemophilia sales were flat in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and increased 7% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 with growth in both the U.S. and international markets driven by ADYNOVATE. Sales of inhibitor therapies declined 7% and 6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, due to new competition.

Neuroscience
Neuroscience product sales were $693.7 million and $1,438.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. VYVANSE product sales increased 7% and 10% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, due to a U.S. price increase and continued growth in the Company's international markets.

Genetic Diseases
Genetic Diseases product sales were $391.7 million and $724.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Genetic Diseases product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased 6% and 3%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. Product sales growth was primarily driven by favorable foreign exchange rates.

Internal Medicine
Internal Medicine product sales were $232.9 million and $411.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. GATTEX/REVESTIVE and NATPARA/NATPAR reported increased product sales of 77% and 88% during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 59% and 71% during the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the numbers of patients on therapy, and to a lesser extent, the benefit of price increases.

Established Brands
Established Brands product sales were $218.5 million and $392.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. LIALDA/MEZAVANT product sales were down 49% and 56% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, due to generic competition which began in the second half of 2017.

Ophthalmics
Ophthalmics product sales increased 75% and 69% to $100.3 million and $162.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, due to XIIDRA demand growth.

Oncology
Oncology product sales were $71.0 million and $137.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Oncology product sales increased 14% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, due to increased demand in the international markets.

Royalties and other revenues

The following table provides an analysis of Shire's income from royalties and other revenues:

Royalties and other revenues	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2018		2017		Change %		2018		2017		Change %
Royalties	$	59.7	$	113.2	(47	)%	$	130.3	$	218.3	(40	)%
Other revenues	51.2		40.8		25	%	109.2		95.7		14	%
Total royalties and other revenues	$	110.9	154.0		(28	)%	$	239.5	$	314.0	(24	)%

Royalties and other revenues decreased 28% and 24%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to lower SENSIPAR royalties and the reclassification of ADDERALL XR from royalty revenue to product sales and other changes required under the new revenue accounting standard.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of Total revenues decreased to 28% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 30% and 33%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to lower expense related to the unwind of inventory fair value adjustments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Cost of sales included depreciation of $66.1 million and $138.8 million, respectively (2017: $67.0 million and $139.1 million, respectively).

Research and development

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Research and development expenses decreased by $114.8 million and $88.9 million, or 21% and 10%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to significant milestone and upfront payments associated with license arrangements incurred in 2017 that did not recur in 2018.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Research and development expenses included depreciation of $9.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively (2017: $12.8 million and $26.2 million, respectively).

Selling, general and administrative

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.6 million and decreased by $75.5 million, or up 1% and down 4% respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. The decrease in the six months ended June 2018, compared to the corresponding period in 2017, is primarily due to on-going cost reduction initiatives and operating synergies, as well as a reduction in marketing costs.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Selling, general and administrative expenses included depreciation of $59.2 million and $116.0 million, respectively (2017: $40.9 million and $78.3 million, respectively).

Amortization of acquired intangible assets

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Shire recorded Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $457.6 million and $941.6 million, respectively, compared to $434.1 million and $798.1 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2017. The increase is primarily related to the acceleration of CINRYZE amortization with the expected launch of lanadelumab (SHP643), subject to regulatory approval.

Integration and acquisition costs

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Shire recorded Integration and acquisition costs of $179.3 million and $419.0 million, respectively, compared to $343.7 million and $459.7 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2017.

In 2018, Integration and acquisition costs incurred related to the continued integration of Baxalta, which was acquired in June 2016, Takeda's proposed acquisition of Shire, the expected sale of Shire's Oncology franchise, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration, primarily related to lanadelumab (SHP643), which was acquired from Dyax in 2016.

The costs associated with the integration of Baxalta include $5.9 million and $143.4 million, respectively, of asset impairments, $21.2 million and $43.1 million, respectively, of third-party professional fees, $3.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively, of expenses associated with facility consolidations, and $9.2 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of employee severance and acceleration of stock compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The costs associated with Takeda's proposed combination include $64.0 million of third-party professional fees and $4.0 million of employee incentives for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company expects the majority of these expenses to be paid within 12 months from the date the related expenses were incurred.

Costs associated with the expected sale of the Oncology franchise include $37.5 million of third-party professional fees and $2.2 million of employee incentives for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Shire recorded Integration and acquisition costs of $343.7 million and $459.7 million, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition and integration of Baxalta and Dyax. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, $151.2 million and $147.7 million, respectively, is included in Integration and acquisition costs relating to the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable mainly related to lanadelumab (SHP643). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Baxalta integration and acquisition costs include $80.2 million and $117.1 million, respectively, of employee severance and acceleration of stock compensation, $50.4 million and $85.6 million, respectively, of third-party professional fees and $17.2 million and $41.7 million, respectively, of expenses associated with facility consolidations.

Other expense, net

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Shire recorded Other expense, net of $96.0 million and $197.2 million, respectively, compared to $137.7 million and $272.4 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2017. Other expense, net decreased primarily due to unrealized gains in equity investments and lower interest expense resulting from debt pay down, partially offset by net losses on foreign exchange revaluations on balance sheet exposures.

Taxation

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 17% (2017: 9%) and 13% (2017:5%), respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 has been affected by certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) passed in December 2017, which enacts a U.S. federal tax rate of 21% along with anti-deferral provisions and new limitations on certain deductions required under the Tax Act. Due to enactment late in the Company's annual 2017 reporting period, the Company included provisional amounts in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company continued to assess the impact of the Tax Act during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and recorded an adjustment of $22.0 million to its provisional estimates related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. This remeasurement reduced the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 by nil and 1%, respectively.

It is expected that additional interpretive guidance will be issued that may change how the Company has computed the provisional amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the Tax Act during the measurement period and will record any adjustments to its provisional estimates as needed during the remainder of 2018 and continues to assert that all amounts recorded and disclosed to date remain provisional.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was affected by the combined impact of the
relative quantum of the profit before tax for the period by jurisdiction as well as significant acquisition and integration costs.

Financial condition at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $212.7 million to $259.7 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $472.4 million). The net decrease was primarily related to net repayments on debt ($1,612.0 million), purchases of Property, Plant & Equipment ($361.3 million), and payment of dividends ($276.6 million), which was partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities ($1,949.9 million).

Held for sale and other current assets

Held for sale and other current assets increased by $2,340.0 million to $3,135.3 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $795.3 million), primarily due to an increase in assets held for sale. On April 16, 2018, Shire entered into a definitive agreement with Servier S.A.S. (Servier) to sell its Oncology franchise for $2.4 billion and all associated assets were transferred to Held for sale and other current assets as this franchise is expected to be sold in the third quarter of 2018.

Investments

Investments increased by $286.7 million to $527.8 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $241.1 million), due to the contribution of intangible assets to a newly-formed joint venture and unrealized gains on equity investments.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, Plant, and Equipment, net decreased by $208.8 million to $6,426.6 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $6,635.4 million), primarily due to depreciation and the transfer of certain facilities to Held for sale and other current assets, partially offset by additions.

Goodwill

Goodwill decreased by $788.0 million to $19,043.7 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $19,831.7 million), primarily due to the transfer of $565.1 million of goodwill related to the Oncology franchise to Held for sale and other current assets.

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets, net decreased by $2,935.6 million to $30,110.5 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $33,046.1 million), primarily due to the transfer of $1,598.5 million of intangible assets related to the Oncology franchise to Held for sale and other current assets, as well as $941.6 million of amortization expense.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $296.0 million to $3,888.5 at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $4,184.5 million), primarily due to payments made in 2018 for annual bonuses and licensing arrangements.

Other current liabilities

Other current liabilities increased by $317.1 million to $1,225.9 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $908.8 million), primarily related to the transfer of $116.8 million of non-current deferred tax liabilities related to the Oncology franchise to Other current liabilities, as well as increases in income tax payable and contingent consideration payable balances.

Short and long term borrowings and capital leases

Short and long term borrowings and capital leases decreased by a net of $1,626.2 million to $17,914.9 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $19,541.1 million), primarily related to the repayment of borrowings under the November 2015 Facilities Agreement ($1,000 million) and the Baxalta notes ($750.0 million).

Non-current deferred tax liabilities

Non-current deferred tax liabilities decreased by $380.9 million to $4,367.3 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $4,748.2 million), primarily due to a reduction of the deferred tax liability that was established as part of the acquisition of Baxalta for current and future charges that are not deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, there was a decrease due to the transfer of $116.8 million of non-current deferred tax liabilities related to the Oncology franchise to Other current liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company's funding requirements depend on a number of factors, including the timing and extent of its development programs; corporate, business, and product acquisitions; the level of resources required for the expansion of certain manufacturing and marketing capabilities as the product base expands; increases in accounts receivable and inventory which may arise with any increase in product sales; technological developments; the

timing and cost of obtaining required regulatory approvals for new products; the timing and quantum of milestone payments on business combinations, in-licenses, and collaborative projects; the timing and quantum of tax and dividend payments; the timing and quantum of purchases by the Employee Benefit Trust of Shire shares in the market to satisfy awards granted under Shire's employee share plans and the amount of cash generated from sales of Shire's products and royalty receipts.

An important part of Shire's business strategy is to protect its products and technologies through the use of patents, proprietary technologies, and trademarks, to the extent available. The Company intends to defend its intellectual property and as a result may need cash for funding the cost of litigation.

The Company finances its activities through cash generated from operating activities, credit facilities, private, and public offerings of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of asset or investment disposals.

Shire's Consolidated Balance Sheets include $259.7 million of Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018.

Shire has a revolving credit facility (RCF) of $2,100.0 million, which matures in 2021, $955.0 million of which was utilized as of June 30, 2018. The RCF incorporates a $250.0 million U.S. dollar and Euro swingline facility operating as a sub-limit thereof.

In connection with the acquisition of Dyax, Shire entered into a $5.6 billion amortizing term loan facility in November 2015. As of June 30, 2018, $199.9 million of this term loan facility was outstanding and the facility matures in November 2018.

In connection with the acquisition of Baxalta, Shire assumed $5.0 billion of unsecured senior notes previously issued by Baxalta. As of June 30, 2018 a total of $4.3 billion unsecured senior notes are outstanding, following repayment of the $375.0 million floating-rate notes and the $375.0 million fixed-rate notes due June 2018. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Baxalta, Shire issued $12.1 billion of unsecured senior notes in September 2016. As of June 30, 2018, none of the unsecured senior notes are due for repayment in the next twelve months.

The details of these financing arrangements are included in Note 15, Borrowings and Capital Leases, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, Shire also has access to certain short-term uncommitted lines of credit which are available to utilize from time to time to provide short-term cash management flexibility. As of June 30, 2018, these lines of credit were not utilized.

The Company may also engage in financing activities from time to time, including accessing the debt or equity capital markets.

Financing

Shire anticipates that its operating cash flow together with available cash, cash equivalents, and the RCF will be sufficient to meet its anticipated future operating expenses, capital expenditures, tax and interest payments, lease obligations, repayment of borrowings, and milestone payments as they become due over the next twelve months.

If the Company decides to acquire other businesses, it expects to fund these acquisitions from cash resources, the RCF, and through new borrowings (including issuances of debt securities) or the issuance of new equity, if necessary.

Sources and uses of cash

The following table provides an analysis of the Company's gross and net debt position (excluding restricted cash):

(In millions)	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	259.7		$	472.4

Long term borrowings (excluding capital leases)	(16,383.2		)	(16,410.7		)
Short term borrowings (excluding capital leases)	(1,184.6		)	(2,781.2		)
Capital leases	(347.1		)	(349.2		)
Total debt	$	(17,914.9	)	$	(19,541.1	)
Net debt	$	(17,655.2	)	$	(19,068.7	)

Net debt is a non-GAAP measure. Net debt represents U.S. GAAP Cash and cash equivalents less U.S. GAAP short and long term borrowings and capital leases. The Company believes that Net debt is a useful measure as it indicates the level of borrowings after taking account of the Cash and cash equivalents that could be utilized to pay down the outstanding borrowings.
Substantially all of the Company's Cash and cash equivalents are held by foreign subsidiaries (i.e., those subsidiaries incorporated outside of Jersey, Channel Islands, the jurisdiction of incorporation of Shire plc). The amount of Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Company's liquidity and capital resources.

Cash flow activity

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $268.0 million, or 16%, to $1,949.9 million (2017: $1,681.9 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased cash generated from business operations and a favorable comparison period as the six month ended June 30, 2017 included a payment of $351.6 million associated with the settlement of the DERMAGRAFT litigation.

Net cash used in investing activities was $396.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily related to purchases of $361.3 million of PP&E due to continued investments in manufacturing operations.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,761.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, principally due to $1.0 billion of repayments under the November 2015 Facility, repayment of the $375.0 million floating-rate Baxalta notes and the $375.0 million fixed-rate Baxalta notes, which was partially offset by $145.0 million of increased borrowings under the RCF and $133.7 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of options.

Obligations and commitments

There were no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations previously disclosed in Review of our Business in Shire's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting standards is included under the heading "New Accounting Pronouncements" in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Group's risk management strategy is to identify, assess and mitigate any significant risks that it faces. Despite this, it should be noted that no risk management strategy can provide absolute assurance against loss.

The Group's processes for managing these risks are consistent with those outlined in Shire's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is available on the Group's website, www.shire.com.

The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the Group for the remaining six months of 2018 are those described under the headings below. These are listed in no particular order and should be carefully considered together with the detailed risk factors set out on pages 187 to 198 of Shire's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, before any investment is made in Shire.

In summary, these risks and uncertainties are as follows:

Risks Related to Our Business

Competition/exclusivity - Emerging competition due to drug genericization, loss of patent protection, new entrants in key markets, and an increase in U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals for rare and orphan diseases.
Anti-corruption/anti-bribery - Group or third-party non-compliance with anti-corruption/anti-bribery laws, regulations, policies, guidelines, or standards.
Cyber security - The Group's operations are highly dependent on global IT systems, networks, databases, and applications which may be threatened with disruption, intrusion, damage, or theft by malicious actors.
Data protection and privacy - Group or third-party partner non-compliance with data protection and privacy laws, regulations, policies, guidelines, or standards.
Pharmaceutical industry reform - Complexity across the organization in proactively identifying and complying with industry laws and pharmaceutical regulatory changes (including government mandated pricing).
Clinical trial research, safety, and efficacy - Unsuccessful, partially successful, or inefficient clinical research, and unsatisfactory results in ongoing clinical trials which may include safety, efficacy, regulatory, or quality issues.
Intellectual property (IP) and patents - Inability to obtain and defend our patents, third-parties violating our patents, or competitor third-parties found to have not infringed on our patents.
Public and private partnerships (PPP) - Threats and uncertainty within our collaborative agreements and external alliances may include geopolitical uncertainty, technology expropriation, foreign exchange risk, and payment/collections challenges.
Drug Safety and Adverse Event Reporting - Complexity in identifying, managing, and communicating adverse event information and new safety findings across the organization in a compliant, efficient, and transparent fashion.
Supply Continuity - The Group's global supply chain may be exposed to business disruptions which could be caused by natural disasters, vendor/supplier issues, IT system failures, raw material shortages, regulatory actions, quality problems, etc.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties above, the Group considers that the following is also relevant for the remaining six months of 2018:

Risks Related to the recommended offer by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited

On May 8, 2018, the Boards of Shire and Takeda announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a
recommended offer by Takeda for Shire (the "Acquisition"). Under the terms of the recommended combination,
shareholders in Shire will be entitled to receive $30.33 in cash for each Shire ordinary share and either 0.839 New
Takeda Shares or 1.678 ADSs in Takeda (one ADS equals 0.5 New Takeda Share). The completion of the Acquisition is subject to approval by the shareholders of Shire and Takeda and there can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained. The completion of the Acquisition is also subject to certain other conditions, including as to certain regulatory approvals and anti-trust clearances, and there can be no certainty that such conditions will be satisfied so as to allow the Acquisition to be completed within the anticipated timeframe or at all.

The recommended combination has created and may continue to create uncertainty among our customers, suppliers, and other business partners. In addition, it has required and will continue to require the expenditure of significant time and resources by us and may be a significant distraction for our management and employees. The potential uncertainty due to these or other factors may undermine our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and may cause increased volatility and wide price fluctuations in our stock price.

SHIRE PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Operations

Shire plc and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as either "Shire", the "Company" or the "Group") is the leading global biotechnology company focused on serving people with rare diseases.

Some of the Company's marketed products include GAMMAGARD, HYQVIA, and CINRYZE for Immunology, ADVATE/ADYNOVATE, VONVENDI, and FEIBA for Hematology, ELAPRASE and REPLAGAL for Genetic Diseases, VYVANSE, ADDERALL XR, and MYDAYIS for Neuroscience, GATTEX/REVESTIVE, and NATPARA/NATPAR for Internal Medicine, XIIDRA for Ophthalmics, and ONCASPAR and ONYVIDE for Oncology.

The Company has grown both organically and through acquisition, completing a series of major transactions that have brought therapeutic, geographic, and pipeline growth and diversification. The Company will continue to conduct its own research and development (R&D) focused on rare diseases, as well as evaluate companies, products and pipeline opportunities that offer a strategic fit and have the potential to deliver value to all of the Company's stakeholders: patients, physicians, policy makers, payers, partners, investors, and employees.

On April 16, 2018, Shire entered into a definitive agreement with Servier S.A.S. (Servier) to sell its Oncology franchise for $2.4 billion.

On May 8, 2018, the boards of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda) and Shire announced that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended offer pursuant to which Takeda will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Shire (the "Acquisition"). Shire shareholders will be entitled to receive $30.33 in cash for each Shire ordinary share and either 0.839 of a new share in Takeda (as proposed to be issued in connection with the Acquisition) (each a "New Takeda Share") or 1.678 ADSs in Takeda (one ADS equals 0.5 New Takeda Share).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These interim financial statements of Shire plc and its subsidiaries are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date.

These interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity at the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments, and methodologies. Estimates are based on historical experience, current conditions, and on various other assumptions that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Going concern

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Half-yearly Report.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Adopted during the current period

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The FASB subsequently issued several additional ASUs amending the guidance and deferred effective date to January 1, 2018. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements, and financial instruments. Under this accounting standard, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company recognized the cumulative-effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase Retained earnings by $52.0 million, net of tax of $15.6 million. The modified retrospective transition method was applied only to the contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date.

For a complete discussion of accounting for revenue with customers, refer to Note 3, Revenue Recognition, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of adoption

As a result of adopting the new accounting for revenue with customers on January 1, 2018, the following financial statement line items as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were affected. The following tables provide the amounts as reported in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and as if the previous accounting guidance was in effect.

Decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities	(186.3		)	(183.2		)

Financial Instrument Accounting

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new standard amends certain aspects of accounting and disclosure requirements of financial instruments, including the requirement that equity investments with readily determinable fair values be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the results of operations. The new standard was effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained earnings of $67.9 million to reclassify unrealized gains from available-for-sale equity securities previously recognized in the Other comprehensive income.
Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard clarifies certain aspects of the statement of cash flows, and aims to reduce diversity in practice regarding how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This standard was effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement. The guidance requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. This standard was effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18 in the first quarter of 2018 and amended the presentation of its statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 accordingly. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Income Taxes

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers Other than Inventory. This standard removes the current exception in U.S. GAAP prohibiting entities from recognizing current and deferred income tax expenses or benefits related to transfer of assets, other than inventory, within the consolidated entity. The current exception to defer the recognition of any tax impact on the transfer of inventory within the consolidated entity until it is sold to a third party remains unaffected. The standard was effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Retirement Benefits Income Statement Presentation

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The standard amends the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The standard requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the "other components") and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if such a subtotal is presented. It also requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The standard was effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07 in the first quarter of 2018. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Share-Based Payment Accounting

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Modification Accounting. The new standard clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. This standard was effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-09 in the first quarter of 2018. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment. This new standard simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2018. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

To be adopted in future periods

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new accounting guidance will require the recognition of all long-term lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees and sets forth new disclosure requirements for those lease assets and liabilities. The standard requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its financial position and results of operations of adopting this guidance. The Company expects the adoption of this new standard may have a material impact on total assets and total liabilities within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivatives and Hedging

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The standard amends its hedge accounting model to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements. The new guidance also expands an entity's ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduces complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. Additionally, it eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, eases certain assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact on its financial position and results of operations of adopting this guidance.

3. Revenue Recognition

Product Revenue, Net

The Company sells its products to major pharmaceutical wholesalers, distributors, and retail pharmacy chains (collectively, its "Customers"). These Customers subsequently resell the Company's products to healthcare providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with healthcare providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company's products.

Revenues from Product sales are recognized when the Customer obtains control, typically upon delivery. When the terms of the contract include customer acceptance provisions, the Company defers revenue recognition until the customer has accepted the goods, unless the acceptance provision relates only to objective specifications which the Company can determine will be met upon shipment. Customer acceptance provisions include temperature checks, government inspections, and other quality control tests. Shipping and handling and fulfillment costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Estimates of Variable Consideration

Revenues from Product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for reserves related to statutory rebates to State Medicaid and other government agencies; Medicare Part D rebates; commercial rebates and fees to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), distributors, and specialty pharmacies; product returns; sales discounts (including trade discounts); distribution service fees; wholesaler chargebacks; and allowances for coupon and patient assistance programs relating to the Company's sales of its products.

These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. Management's estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company's best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. If actual results vary, the Company may adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.

Trade discounts are generally credits granted to wholesalers, specialty pharmacies, and other customers for remitting payment on their purchases within established incentive periods and are classified as a reduction of accounts receivable, offset by revenue in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
Chargebacks are credits or payments issued to wholesalers and other distributors who provide products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to the wholesalers or other distributors. Reserves are estimated based on expected purchases by those qualified healthcare providers. Chargeback reserves are classified as a reduction of accounts receivable in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
Distribution service fees are credits or payments issued to wholesalers, distributors, and specialty pharmacies for compliance with various contractually-defined inventory management practices or services provided to support patient access to a product. These fees are generally based on a percentage of gross purchases but can also be based on additional services these entities provide. Most of these costs are reflected as a reduction of gross sales; however, to the extent benefit from services can be separately identified and the fair value determined, costs are classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses. Distribution service fees reserves are estimated based on the terms of each individual contract and are classified within accrued expenses.
Medicaid rebates are payments to States under statutory and voluntary reimbursement arrangements. Reserves for these rebates are generally based on an estimate of expected product usage by Medicaid patients and expected rebate rates. Statutory rates are generally based on a percentage of selling price adjusted upwards for price increases in excess of published inflation indices. As a result, rebates generally increase as a percentage of the selling price over the life of the product (as prices increase). Medicaid rebate reserves are estimated based on individual product purchase volumes and are classified within accrued expenses.
Managed care rebates are payments to third parties, primarily pharmacy benefit managers, and other health insurance providers. The reserve for these rebates is based on an estimate of customer buying patterns and applicable contractual rebate rates to be earned over each period. Managed care rebates reserves are estimated based on the terms of each individual contract and purchase volumes and are classified within accrued expenses.
Incentive rebates are generally credits or payments issued to specialty pharmacies, distributors, or Group Purchasing Organizations for qualified purchases of certain products. Incentive rebate reserves are estimated based on the terms of each individual contract and purchase volumes and are classified within accrued expenses.
Other discounts and allowances include Medicare rebates, coupon, and patient co-pay assistance. Medicare rebates are payments to health insurance providers of Medicare Part D coverage to qualified patients. Reserve estimates are based on customer buying patterns and applicable contractual rebate rates to be earned over each period. Coupon and co-pay assistance programs provide discounts to qualified patients. Reserve estimates are based on expected claim volumes under these programs and estimated cost per claim that the Company expects to pay. Reserves for Medicare and coupon and patient co-pay programs are classified within accrued expenses.

Product Returns: The Company typically accepts customer product returns in the following circumstances: (a) expiration of shelf life on certain products; (b) product damaged while in the Company's possession; (c) under sales terms that allow for unconditional return (guaranteed sales); or (d) following product recalls or product withdrawals. Generally, returns for expired product are accepted three months before and up to one year after the expiration date of the related product and the related product is destroyed after it is returned. Depending on the product and the Company's return policy with respect to that product, the Company may either refund the sales price paid by the customer by issuance of a credit, or exchange the returned product with replacement inventory. The Company typically does not provide cash refunds. The Company estimates the proportion of recorded revenue that will result in a return by considering relevant factors, including but not limited to:

historical returns experience;
the duration of time taken for products to be returned;
the estimated level of inventory in the distribution channel;
product recalls and discontinuances;
the shelf life of products;
the launch of new drugs or new formulations; and
the loss of patent protection, exclusivity or new competition.

The estimation process for product returns involves, in each case, a number of interrelating assumptions, which vary for each combination of product and customer. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue from Product sales in the period the related revenue is recognized.

Royalties and other revenues

The Company enters into agreements, where it licenses certain rights to its products to customers. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services the Company provides; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments is recognized as Royalties and other revenues.

As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop estimates that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, identified in the contract. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical, regulatory and commercial success.

Licenses of intellectual property: If the license to the Company's intellectual property is distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. If the performance obligation is satisfied over time, the Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Measures of progress for revenue recognition vary depending on the nature of the performance obligation.

Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates the recognition of milestone payments. Typically, milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are included in the transaction price upon achievement of the milestone. Milestone payments included in transaction price are recognized when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price.

Royalties: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur or (ii) when the license is transferred.

The Company receives payments from its customers based on billing schedules established in each contract, which vary across Shire's locations, but generally range between 30 to 90 days. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company's right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation is that customer will pay for the product or services in one year or less of receiving those products or services.

The following table presents changes in the Company's contract assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2018:

(In millions)	As of January 1, 2018		Increase, net		As of June 30, 2018
Contract assets:
Unbilled receivables	$	42.7	$	13.3	$	56.0
Contract liabilities:
Deferred revenue	-		5.9		5.9

Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. The contract assets are included in Held for sale and other current assets in these Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments from customers for future performance obligations. Contract liabilities are included in Other current liabilities in these Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

4. Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale

On April 16, 2018, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Servier to sell its Oncology franchise. Under the terms of the agreement, Servier has agreed to acquire Shire's Oncology franchise for a total consideration of $2.4 billion, in cash, upon completion. The transaction covers the transfer of Shire's Oncology franchise including marketed products and IPR&D, which were classified as held for sale and included within Held for sale and other current assets in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018.

The assets and liabilities of the Oncology franchise classified as held for sale were as follows:

(In millions)	As of June 30, 2018
Intangible assets	$	1,571.8
Goodwill	565.1
Other	12.0
Current assets	$	2,148.9

Current liabilities	$	116.8

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company determined it would divest certain facilities as part of its integration efforts. As of June 30, 2018, the Company classified $123.2 million of assets as held for sale and included within Held for sale and other current assets in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The $123.2 million of held for sale assets consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and was net of $137.5 million of impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The impairment charges were reported in Integration and acquisition costs in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

5. Collaborative and Other Licensing Arrangements

The Company is party to certain collaborative and licensing arrangements. In some of these arrangements, Shire and the licensee are both actively involved in the development and commercialization of the licensed product and have exposure to risks and rewards dependent on its commercial success.

On January 25, 2018, Shire entered into a licensing agreement with AB Biosciences Inc. (AB Biosciences). The license grants Shire exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize a recombinant immunoglobulin product candidate. Under the terms of the agreement, AB Biosciences will grant Shire an exclusive, worldwide license to its intellectual property relating to its pan receptor interacting molecule program.

6. Integration and Acquisition Costs

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Shire recorded Integration and acquisition costs of $179.3 million and $419.0 million, respectively. These costs relate to the continued integration of Baxalta Inc. (Baxalta), which was acquired in June 2016, Takeda's proposed acquisition of Shire, the expected sale of Shire's Oncology franchise, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration, primarily related to lanadelumab (SHP634), which was acquired from Dyax in 2016.

The Company continues its activities to integrate Baxalta. The costs associated with the integration are primarily related to facility consolidation and professional consulting fees. The Company also drove savings through the continued re-prioritization of its research and development programs and consolidation of its commercial operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 these costs include $5.9 million and $143.4 million, respectively, of asset impairments, $21.2 million and $43.1 million, respectively, of third-party professional fees, $3.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively, of expenses associated with facility consolidations, and $9.2 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of employee severance and acceleration of stock compensation. The Company expects the majority of these expenses, except for certain costs related to facility consolidations, to be paid within 12 months from the date the related expenses were incurred. The integration of Baxalta is estimated to be completed by mid to late 2019.

The following table summarizes the reserve for the Baxalta integration costs for certain types of activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018:

(In millions)	Severance and employee benefits			Lease terminations			Total
As of January 1,	$	72.9		$	56.6		$	129.5
Amount charged to integration costs	8.4			2.1			10.5
Paid/utilized	(61.8		)	(11.1		)	(72.9		)
As of June 30,	$	19.5		$	47.6		$	67.1

On May 8, 2018, the Boards of Takeda and Shire announced that they had reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended offer pursuant to which Takeda will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Shire. The closing of the acquisition is expected in the first half of 2019, subject to shareholder approval of both companies as well as the receipt of regulatory approvals. Costs associated with this recommended offer include $64.0 million of third-party professional fees, and $4.0 million of employee incentives for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company expects the majority of these expenses to be paid within 12 months from the date the related expenses were incurred.

On April 16, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Servier to sell its Oncology franchise. Activities to conclude the sale are on track and the closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2018. Costs associated with this sale include $37.5 million of third-party professional fees, and $2.2 million of employee incentives for both three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company expects the majority of these expenses to be paid within 12 months from the date the related expenses were incurred.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, $27.0 million and $45.9 million are included in Integration and
acquisition costs relating to the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable mainly related to lanadelumab(SHP643).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Shire recorded Integration and acquisition costs of $343.7 million and $459.7 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisition and integration of Baxalta and Dyax. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, $151.2 million and $147.7 million is included in Integration and acquisition costs relating to the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable mainly related to lanadelumab (SHP643). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Baxalta Integration and acquisition costs include $80.2 million and $117.1 million, respectively, of employee severance and acceleration of stock compensation, $50.4 million and $85.6 million, respectively, of third-party professional fees, and $17.2 million and $41.7 million, respectively, of expenses associated with facility consolidations.

7. Results of Discontinued Operations

Following the divestment of the Company's DERMAGRAFT business in January 2014, the operating results associated with the DERMAGRAFT business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

In January 2017, Shire entered into a final settlement agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the amount of $350.0 million, plus interest which was accrued in 2016 and paid during 2017.

After the civil settlement with the DOJ was finalized, Shire and Advanced BioHealing Inc.'s (ABH) equity holders entered into a settlement agreement and ABH's equity holders released the $37.5 million escrow to Shire. Shire released its claims against ABH equity holders upon receiving the entire amount held in escrow.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million and gain of $19.0 million (net of tax benefit of $0.6 million and expense of $10.9 million, respectively), primarily related to legal contingencies related to the divested DERMAGRAFT business and the release of escrow to Shire, respectively.

8. Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018 of $3,005.1 million (December 31, 2017: $3,009.8 million), are stated at the invoiced amount and net of reserve for discounts and doubtful accounts of $335.5 million (December 31, 2017: $271.5 million).

For further details regarding the reclassification of Intangible assets to assets held for sale, refer to Note 4, Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale.

The Company reviews its amortized intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Unamortized intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Estimated amortization expense can be affected by various factors including future acquisitions, disposals of product rights, regulatory approval and subsequent amortization of acquired IPR&D projects, foreign exchange movements and the technological advancement and regulatory approval of competitor products.

13. Fair Value Measurement

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	Fair value
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
As of June 30, 2018
Financial assets:
Marketable equity securities	$	218.4	$	218.4	$	-	$	-

Contingent consideration payable	1,168.2		-		-		1,168.2
Total liabilities	$	1,222.4	$	-	$	14.2	$	1,208.2

Marketable equity and debt securities are included within Investments in these Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contingent consideration payable is included within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in these Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. For information regarding the Company's derivative arrangements, refer to Note 14, Financial Instruments, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The estimated fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company's intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument:

Marketable equity securities: the fair values of marketable equity securities are estimated based on quoted market prices for those investments.
Marketable debt securities: the fair values of debt securities are obtained from pricing services or broker/dealers who either use quoted prices in an active market or proprietary pricing applications, which include observable market information for like or same securities.
Derivative instruments: the fair values of the swap and forward foreign exchange contracts have been determined using the month-end interest rate and foreign exchange rates, respectively.
Joint venture net written option and contingent consideration payable: the fair values have been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).

There were no changes in valuation techniques or inputs utilized or transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Contingent consideration payable
(In millions)	2018			2017
Balance as of January 1,	$	1,168.2		$	1,058.0
Acquisitions	-			(4.0		)
Change in fair value included in earnings	45.9			147.7
Other	(4.9		)	(11.4		)
Balance as of June 30,	$	1,209.2		$	1,190.3

Of the $1,209.2 million of contingent consideration payable as of June 30, 2018, $734.7 million is recorded within Other current liabilities and $474.5 million is recorded within Other non-current liabilities in these Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Joint venture net written option

In March 2017, Shire executed option agreements related to a joint venture that provides Shire with a call option on the partner's investment in joint venture equity and the partner with a put option on its investment in joint venture equity. The Company had a liability of $37.0 million for the net written option based on the estimated fair value of these options as of June 30, 2018 and the Company re-measures the instrument to fair value through the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Quantitative Information about Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Financial liabilities:	Fair value as of the measurement date
As of June 30, 2018
(In millions, except %)	Fair value		Valuation technique	Significant unobservable inputs	Range
Contingent consideration payable	$	1,209.2	Income approach (probability weighted discounted cash flow)	· Cumulative probability of milestones being achieved	· 10 to 95%
				· Assumed market participant discount rate	· 2.3 to 8.9%
				· Periods in which milestones are expected to be achieved	· 2018 to 2040
				· Forecast quarterly royalties payable on net sales of relevant products	· $0.1 to $6.5 million

Contingent consideration payable represents future milestones and royalties the Company may be required to pay in conjunction with various business combinations and license agreements. The fair value of the Company's contingent consideration payable could significantly increase or decrease due to changes in certain assumptions which underpin the fair value measurements. Each set of assumptions is specific to the individual contingent consideration payable.

Financial liabilities:	Fair value as of the measurement date
As of June 30, 2018
(In millions, except %)	Fair value		Valuation technique	Significant unobservable inputs	Range
Joint venture net written option	$	37.0	Income approach (probability weighted discounted cash flow)	· Cash flow scenario probability weighting	· 100%
				· Assumed market participant discount rate	· 14%

Financial assets and liabilities that are disclosed at fair value

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

	June 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
(In millions)	Carrying amount		Fair value		Carrying amount		Fair value
Financial liabilities:
SAIIDAC notes	$	12,055.8	$	11,512.4	$	12,050.2	$	11,913.7
Baxalta notes	4,287.3		4,237.1		5,057.7		5,229.9
Capital lease obligation	347.1		347.1		349.2		349.2

The estimated fair values of long-term debt were based upon recent observable market prices and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of capital lease obligations is based on Level 2 inputs.

The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair value due to their short-term nature, such as liquidity and maturity of these amounts, or because there have been no significant changes since the asset or liability was last re-measured to fair value on a non-recurring basis.

14. Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Contracts

Due to the global nature of its operations, portions of the Company's revenues and operating expenses are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The value of revenues and operating expenses measured in U.S. dollars is therefore subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The main trading currencies of the Company are the U.S. dollar, Euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, and Japanese yen.

Transactional exposure arises where transactions occur in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. It is the Company's policy that these exposures are minimized to the extent practicable by denominating transactions in the subsidiary's functional currency. Where significant exposures remain, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts (spot, forward, and swap contracts) to manage the exposure for balance sheet assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary.

The Company has master netting agreements with a number of counterparties to these foreign exchange contracts and on the occurrence of specified events, the Company has the ability to terminate contracts and settle them with a net payment by one party to the other. The Company has elected to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not have credit risk related contingent features or collateral linked to the derivatives.

Undesignated Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the foreign currency risk related to certain balance sheet positions, including intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The Company has not elected hedge accounting for these derivative instruments as the duration of these contracts is typically three months or less. The changes in fair value of these derivatives are reported in earnings.

The table below presents the notional amount, maximum duration, and fair value for the undesignated foreign currency derivatives:

(In millions, except duration)	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Notional amount	$	2,104.0		$	1,672.3
Maximum duration	6 months			3 months
Fair value - net (liability)/asset	$	(13.8	)	$	11.4

The Company considers the impact of its and its counterparties' credit risk on the fair value of the contracts as well as the ability of each party to execute its contractual obligations. As of June 30, 2018, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company's foreign currency contracts.

Interest Rate - Contracts

The Company is exposed to the risk that its earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates relating to its debt obligations on which interest is set at floating rates. The Company's policy is to manage this risk to an acceptable level. The Company is principally exposed to interest rate risk on any borrowings under the Company's various debt facilities. Interest on these facilities is set at floating rates, to the extent utilized. Shire's exposure under these facilities is to changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. For further details related to interest rates on the Company's various debt facilities, refer to Note 15, Borrowings and Capital Leases, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Designated Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company has elected hedge accounting for interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of interest rate swap contracts are recorded as a component of the underlying Baxalta Notes with the ineffective portion recorded in Interest expense. Any net interest payments made or received on the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The table below presents the notional amount, maturity, and fair value for the designated interest rate derivatives:

(In millions, except maturity)	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Notional amount	$	1,000.0		$	1,000.0
Maturity	June 2020 and June 2025			June 2020 and June 2025
Fair value - net liability	$	(30.3	)	$	(7.7	)

19. Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles net income and the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the periods presented:

	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
(In millions)	2018		2017			2018		2017
Income from continuing operations, net of taxes	$	615.5	$	241.5		$	1,166.1	$	596.3

Share-based awards to employees	14.4	13.2	15.2	10.3

Certain stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 because either their exercise prices exceeded Shire's average share price during the calculation period, the required performance conditions were not satisfied as of the balance sheet date or their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

These obligations are primarily in respect of the recoverability of insurance claims, lease obligations, and supply commitments.

Commitments

Clinical testing

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had committed to pay approximately $1,593.6 million (December 31, 2017: $1,409.9 million) to contract vendors for administering and executing clinical trials. The timing of these payments is dependent upon actual services performed by the organizations as determined by patient enrollment levels and related activities.

Contract manufacturing

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had committed to pay approximately $1,080.2 million (December 31, 2017: $467.2 million) in respect of contract manufacturing. The Company expects to pay $303.5 million of these commitments in 2018.

Other purchasing commitments

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had committed to pay approximately $1,563.9 million (December 31, 2017: $1,692.5 million) for future purchases of goods and services, predominantly relating to active pharmaceutical ingredients sourcing.

Baxter related tax indemnification

Baxter International Inc. (Baxter) and Baxalta entered into a tax matters agreement, effective on the date of Baxalta's separation from Baxter, which employs a direct tracing approach, or where direct tracing approach is not feasible, an allocation methodology, to determine which company is liable for pre-separation income tax items for U.S. federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. With respect to tax liabilities that are directly traceable or allocated to Baxalta but for which Baxalta was not the primary obligor, Baxalta recorded a tax indemnification amount that would be due to Baxter upon Baxter discharging the associated tax liability to the taxing authority.

22. Legal and Other Proceedings

The Company expenses legal costs when incurred.

The Company recognizes loss contingency provisions for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss. When the estimated loss lies within a range, the Company records a loss contingency provision based on its best estimate of the probable loss. If no particular amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount is recorded. Estimates of losses may be developed before the ultimate loss is known, and are therefore refined each accounting period as additional information becomes known. An outcome that deviates from the Company's estimate may result in an additional expense or release in a future accounting period. As of June 30, 2018, provision for litigation losses, insurance claims, and other disputes totaled $73.9 million (December 31, 2017: $76.2 million).

The Company's principal pending legal and other proceedings are disclosed below. The outcomes of these proceedings are not always predictable and can be affected by various factors. For those legal and other proceedings for which it is considered at least reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded loss contingency provision, if any, where such excess is both material and estimable.

MYDAYIS

On October 12, 2017, Shire was notified that Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. had submitted an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) to the FDA seeking permission to market a generic version of MYDAYIS. Within the requisite 45-day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Actavis Laboratories, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (collectively the "Teva entities"). A Markman hearing is scheduled to take place on January 23, 2019. A trial is scheduled to take place beginning on December 9, 2019.

On March 8, 2018, Shire was notified that Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax) had submitted an ANDA to the FDA seeking permission to market a generic version of MYDAYIS. Within the requisite 45-day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Impax. A Markman hearing is scheduled to take place on January 23, 2019. A trial is scheduled to take place beginning on December 9, 2019.

On April 19, 2018, Shire was notified that SpecGX LLC (SpecGX) had submitted an ANDA to the FDA seeking permission to market a generic version of MYDAYIS. Shire is currently reviewing the contents of the notification. Within the requisite 45-day period, Shire filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against SpecGx. No dates for a Markman hearing or trial have been set.

Petitions to institute inter partes reviews (IPRs) against U.S. Patent numbers 8,846,100 and 9,173,857 were filed by KVK Tech in January 2018 and the petitions were granted in July 2018. Both of these patents are listed in the Orange Book as covering MYDAYIS and are among the patents-in-suit in the infringement action brought against the Teva entities and Impax as noted above. A decision on the merits is expected on or before July 10, 2019.

VANCOCIN

On April 6, 2012, ViroPharma Incorporated (ViroPharma) received a notification that the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was conducting an investigation into whether ViroPharma had engaged in unfair methods of competition with respect to VANCOCIN, which Shire acquired in January 2014. Following the divestiture of VANCOCIN in August 2014, Shire retained certain liabilities including any potential liabilities related to the VANCOCIN citizen petition.

On August 3, 2012, and September 8, 2014, ViroPharma and Shire respectively received Civil Investigative Demands from the FTC requesting additional information related to this matter. Shire has fully cooperated with the FTC's investigation.

On February 7, 2017, the FTC filed a Complaint against Shire alleging that ViroPharma engaged in conduct in violation of U.S. antitrust laws arising from a citizen petition ViroPharma filed in 2006 related to Food & Drug Administration's policy for evaluating bioequivalence for generic versions of VANCOCIN. The complaint seeks equitable relief, including an injunction and disgorgement. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on April 10, 2017. On March 20, 2018, the court granted the Company's motion. On April 11, 2018, the FTC filed a Notice of Appeal. The FTC's appeal is still pending.

At this time, Shire is unable to predict the outcome or duration of this case.

ELAPRASE

In 2014, Shire's Brazilian affiliate, Shire Farmaceutica Brasil Ltda, was served with a lawsuit brought by the State of Sao Paulo and in which the Brazilian Public Attorney's office has intervened alleging that Shire is obligated to provide certain medical care including ELAPRASE for an indefinite period at no cost to patients who participated in ELAPRASE clinical trials in Brazil, and seeking recoupment to the Brazilian government for amounts paid on behalf of these patients to date, and moral damages associated with these claims.

On May 6, 2016, the trial court judge ruled on the case and dismissed all the claims under the class action, which was appealed. On February 20, 2017, the Court of Appeals in Sao Paulo issued the final decision on merit in favor of Shire and dismissed all the claims under the class action. On July 12, 2017, the Public Prosecutor filed an appeal addressed to the Supreme Court. During the last quarter of 2017, the State of Sao Paulo filed appeals addressed to the Superior Court of Justice and to the Supreme Court.

23. Segment Reporting

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company announced a change to its internal structure to create two distinct business segments within Shire: a Rare Disease division and a Neuroscience division. The change was based on the Board's conclusion that the Neuroscience business warranted additional focus and investment and that there was a strong business rationale for creating the two divisions.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company returned to a single segment approach to managing its business. This decision was precipitated by Shire's Board acceptance of Takeda's offer to acquire the Company and reflects the Company's focus on the performance of the entire business as it operates in this current environment. This step was taken to more closely align with how the financial information is viewed by the Executive Committee (Shire's chief operating decision maker) for the purposes of making resource allocation decisions and assessing the performance of the business. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2018, the Company introduced a new product franchise called Established Brands to capture revenue for its non-promoted products that are facing or could face generic competition, such as LIALDA and PENTASA. Comparative financial information for 2017 was retrospectively restated herein.

In connection with Baxalta's separation from Baxter on July 1, 2015, Baxalta and Baxter entered into several separation-related agreements that provided a framework for Baxalta's relationship with Baxter after the separation. These agreements, among others, included a manufacturing and supply agreement, a transition services agreement and a tax matters agreement. For further details on existing agreements with Baxter, refer to Note 28, Agreements and Transactions with Baxter, of Shire's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO SHIRE PLC
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2018 which comprises the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statements of cash flows and related notes 1 to 24. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it 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 half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The condensed consolidated set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Company intends to use in preparing its next annual financial statements.

Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
