The Group performs an annual goodwill impairment review in
accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets' based on its cash
generating units (CGUs). The CGU that has associated goodwill
allocated to it is the Group as a whole. This is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows to which
goodwill is allocated. Although the interior design business is a
separate CGU goodwill was not specifically allocated to it when the
goodwill arose because it was treated as an integrated business
when the Group was originally restructured. The Directors consider
that it is now not appropriate to allocate goodwill to this
CGU.
Recoverable amount
In accordance with IAS 36 the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit is calculated, being the higher of value in use and
fair value less costs to sell.
The fair value less costs to sell of the CGU is determined using
cash flow projections derived from the business plan covering a
five year period which has been approved by the Board. They reflect
the Directors' expectations of the level and timing of revenue,
expenses, working capital and operating cash flows, based on past
experience and future expectations of business performance
particularly future development projects.
Discount rates
The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections
are derived from the Group's weighted average cost of capital. The
discount rate applied is 6% (2013: 6%) reflecting the future
expected cost of capital for the Group.
Growth rates
Due to the nature of the Group's development business growth
rates are not relevant. The cash flow projections assume a 100%
probability of winning a level of development projects over the
five years and make assumptions on the probability of achieving
certain development performance fee criteria.
The business growth rates have been assumed to be nil (2013:
nil) for the Intarya interior design business.
Sensitivity analysis
The following point changes in assumptions would cause the
recoverable amount to fall below the current carrying value:
-- A 41.3% increase in the discount rate to 47.3% for the latter
five year period
-- A 25.6% decrease in the development revenue cash flows over
the five year period
-- A 43.4% decrease in the other interior design revenue cash
flows over the five year period
