Management did not identify any intangible assets on acquisition of this
business. 
 
Acquisition costs arising from this transaction of £89,000 have been included
in administration expenses included in overheads before operating profit. 
 
There are call and put options enabling or requiring the Company to purchase
the remaining 18% of the issued share capital of Space Cryomagnetics Limited
("Sci Mag"). The options have an exercise date of October 2019 and October
2022. The Company expects to acquire the remaining 18% of Sci Mag through the
future exercise of one of these options and consequently, for the purposes of
the Group's consolidation, Sci Mag has been accounted for as if it were 100%
owned. The exercise price of the option is contingent upon the future trading
performance of Sci Mag during the period to October 2019 and October 2022. At
31 May 2017, the Group has recognised contingent consideration of £256,000,
being the best estimate of the Directors at that point in time. 
 
 Since acquisition Sci Mag contributed the following to the Group's cashflows:    2017   
                                                                                  £'000
