On the 21 November 2017, the Group acquired all the voting rights of Comapi
for a purchase consideration of £10.7m in cash in exchange for all Comapi
shares. Comapi's business is the provision of omni-channel messaging and cloud
communication. 
 
The Directors believe the acquisition will: 
 
·      Extend dotdigital's marketing automation platform to provide an
industry leading solution offering fully integrated omni-channel and
conversational commerce support to marketers, 
 
·      Enable dotdigital to deliver aligned conversational messaging across
channels including email, mobile push, SMS, Facebook messenger, Apple business
messenger, Twitter and live chat 
 
·      Enable dotdigital customers to meet consumer demand for a more
personalised communication experience and 
 
·      Position dotdigital as the most advanced platform on the market and
make dotdigital more relevant in the strategic mobile first Asian market. 
 
Goodwill of £11.5m was recognised on the acquisition, being the excess of the
purchase consideration over the provisional fair value of net assets acquired
as set out below.

Acquisition costs of £0.2m were recognised in the Consolidated Income
Statement under exceptional costs. 
 
As at 31 December 2017, the Group had not obtained all information required on
the valuation of all identifiable intangible assets acquired from Comapi. This
will be completed during the measurement in accordance with IFRS 3 revised. 
 
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's two cash generating units identified,
that being Dotmailer and Comapi. The goodwill addition in the period ended 31
December 2017 relates to the acquisition of Comapi and the goodwill at the
beginning of the period relates to Dotmailer. 
 
Goodwill arising on business combinations is not amortised but is reviewed for
impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if there are indications
that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is
allocated, at acquisition, to cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected
to benefit from that business combination. 
 
The carrying amount of goodwill relates to the Group's two trading activities
and business segments. This has been tested for impairment during the current
period by comparison with the recoverable amounts of the CGU. Recoverable
amounts for CGUs are based on the higher of value in use and fair value less
costs to sell. The recoverable amounts of the CGU have been determined from
value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a
five-year period. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are
those regarding discount rates, growth rates, and expected changes in margins.
Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect the
current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the CGUs. Changes in income and expenditure are based on past experience and
expectations of the future changes in the market. The pre-tax discount rate
used to calculate the value in use is 10% (2017: 10%). The valuations indicate
sufficient headroom such that a reasonably possible change in key assumptions
would not result in impairment of goodwill.
