A conditional intention counts as an intention. So where a defendant only intends to commit an offence subject to certain condition(s), the defendant will still have the sufficient mens rea for an attempt, A-G's Ref (Nos 1 & 2 of 1979). An example of this type of intention is where D picks up a bag and looks through it but decides that there is nothing worth taking. He could be convicted of attempted theft as he has the intention to steal.
