annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted
by the European Union.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June

Additional presentation within the statement of comprehensive income 
 
The Directors believe that adjusted results and adjusted earnings per share provide additional useful information on the
ongoing operations of the group to shareholders.  The term 'adjusted' is not a defined term under IFRS and may not
therefore be comparable with similarly titled profit measurements reported by other companies.  It is not intended to be a
substitute for, or superior to, IFRS measurements of profit. 
 
The following charges/(credits) were presented as adjusting items:

General information 
 
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of its registered office is
Wells Point, 79 Wells Street, London, W1T 3QN. The Company has its listing on the London Stock Exchange. 
 
The condensed set of financial statements in the interim report was approved for issue on 30 July 2014. 
 
This interim report is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2013 were approved by the Board of Directors on 11
September 2013 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified,
did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act
2006. 
 
Estimates 
 
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
 
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied
to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013, with the exception of changes in estimates that
are required in determining the provision for income taxes and disclosure of exceptional items (see note 3). 
 
Financial risk factors 
 
The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and
disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the group's annual
financial statements as at 30 June 2013. 
 
Seasonality 
 
Due to the seasonal nature of events and exhibitions, higher revenues and operating profits are usually expected in the
period January to June. In the financial year ended 30 June 2013, 42% of revenues and 22% of adjusted EBITDA occurred in
the period July to December with the balance accumulating in the period January to June. 
 
Notes to the condensed set of financial statements for the six and twelve months ended 30 June 2014 
 
1   Segmental reporting 
 
The group is organised into four main business segments. The products and services that each segment offers are described
in detail in the Divisional Review. 
 
The Operating Board has been identified as the chief operating decision-maker. The Board reviews the group's internal
monthly reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments
based on these reports.

For the six months ended 30 June 2014 
 
The group has incurred £0.2m of redundancy costs in the six month period to June 2014. Acquisition-related costs amounting
to £0.1m comprise legal and professional fees. 
 
Earn-out costs relate to deferred contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Investment Platforms Limited
and an additional charge of £2.0m in relation to the deferred contingent consideration for Econsultancy.com Limited as part
of its early settlement in June 2014, see note 9. 
 
Exceptional finance costs relate to the unwinding of the discounting on the Econsultancy.com Limited deferred contingent
consideration provision. The remaining charge was accelerated in the six months to 30 June 2014 as part of its early
settlement in June 2014. 
 
Capitalised costs amounting to £0.3m were written off in the 12 month period to June 2014 following product
discontinuations. There were no such costs in the six months to June 2014. 
 
A full explanation of exceptional costs for the year ending 30 June 2013 is disclosed in the audited 2013 Annual Report.

6    Goodwill (continued) 
 
Additions from other acquisitions in 2013 arose from the purchase of an additional 0.71% of the share capital of Perfect
Information for £0.1m in November 2012. 
 
On 12 June the group disposed of its subsidiary PI resulting in disposal of goodwill of £8.9m. See note 11 for further
details. 
 
Goodwill by segment 
 
Each brand, comprising individual magazines, digital titles and events, is deemed to be a Cash Generating Unit (CGU), being
the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable.  Goodwill is attributed to individual CGUs but is
reviewed at the segment level for the purposes of the annual impairment review as this is the level that management monitor
goodwill. The majority of the group's goodwill arose on the acquisition of the Centaur Communications Group in 2004. 
 
Goodwill is allocated to segments as follows: 
 
                        Marketing  Financial  Home Interest  Professional  Total  
                        £m         £m         £m             £m            £m     
 At 30 June 2014  36.7  12.3       7.5        33.5           90.0          
 At 30 June 2013  36.7  12.3       7.5        42.4           98.9          
 
 
Impairment testing of goodwill and acquired intangible assets 
 
During the period goodwill was tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36.  In assessing whether a write-down of
goodwill and acquired intangible assets is required, the carrying value of the segment is compared with its recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is measured based on value-in-use. 
 
The group estimates the value-in-use of its CGUs using a discounted cash flow model, which adjusts the cash flows for risks
associated with the assets and discounts these using a pre-tax rate of 12.5% (2013: 12.6%).  The discount rate used is
consistent with the Group's weighted average cost of capital and is used across all segments. 
 
The key assumptions used in calculating value-in-use are revenue growth, margin, adjusted EBITDA, discount rate and the
terminal growth rate.  The group has used formally approved forecasts for the first three years of the value-in-use
calculation, and applied a terminal growth rate of 2.25% thereafter (2013: 2.25%).  This timescale and the terminal growth
rate are both considered appropriate given the cyclical nature of the group's revenues. 
 
The assumptions used in the calculations of value-in-use for each segment have been derived based on a combination of past
experience, current orders and opportunities and management's expectations of future growth rates in the industry. 
 
Sensitivity analysis was performed using the following assumptions which resulted in no impairment in any segment. 
 
1)   An increase in WACC of 1.7%. 
 
2)   A decrease in EBITDA of 10% in each year. 
 
3)   A decrease in Long Term Growth Rate of 2% to 0.25%.
