The provisional fair value of intangible assets relates to the in-process
research and development of PeproStat and ReadyFlow. The provisional fair
value of the financial assets includes receivables with a fair value of
£164,000 and a gross contractual value of £164,000. The best estimate at
acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not to be collected is £nil. 
 
Goodwill is provisionally valued at £2,086,000. None of the goodwill is
expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Deferred consideration
represents the fair valuation of the additional consideration payable which
could be an aggregate maximum of £20,000,000, subject to the future
performance of the business. 
 
Ergomed plc has a 12 month measurement period from the date of acquisition,
and therefore the measurement period ends on 23 May 2017. 
 
As a research and development company, Haemostatix is investing in its
development portfolio and does not currently generate revenues. If the
acquisition of Haemostatix had been completed on the first day of the
financial year, group revenues for the year ended 31 December 2016 would have
been unchanged and group profit before tax would have been £1,082,000 lower. 
 
7.         ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY - O+P and GASD 
 
On 12 June 2016, Ergomed acquired 100 per cent of the issued share capital of
O+P and GASD. O+P is a long established contract research organisation based
in Cologne, Germany and GASD is a specialist data management and biostatistics
company. The acquisition of O+P and GASD brings, among other things, a
proprietary electronic data capture system and specialist biostatics expertise
which can be deployed across the Ergomed global platform. 
 
O+P and GASD were acquired as a single unit. The amounts provisionally
recognised in relation to both entities in respect of the identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table below.

The provisional fair value of the financial assets includes receivables with a
fair value of £91,000 and a gross contractual value of £91,000. The best
estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not to be collected
is £nil. 
 
Goodwill is provisionally valued at £487,000 and is attributable to the
synergies and the enhanced offering of the Ergomed group following the
acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax
purposes. 
 
Deferred consideration represents the provisional fair valuation of the
additional consideration payable, subject to the future performance of the
business. 
 
Ergomed plc has a 12 month measurement period from the date of acquisition,
and therefore the measurement period ends on 11 June 2017. 
 
If the acquisition of O+P and GASD had been completed on the first day of the
financial year, group revenues for the year ended 31 December 2016 would have
been £381,000 higher and group profit before tax would have been £134,000
lower.

The provisional fair value of the financial assets includes receivables with a
fair value of £786,000 and a gross contractual value of £786,000. The best
estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not to be collected
is £nil. 
 
Goodwill is provisionally valued at £2,224,000 and is attributable to the
enhanced offering of the Ergomed group following the acquisition. None of the
goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. 
 
In addition to the consideration identified above, deferred consideration is
payable subject to the achievement of commercial milestones and conditional
upon the continued employment of the vendors by the company. In accordance
with IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, £690,000 has been charged to the profit
and loss account in respect of deferred consideration relating to the year
ended 31 December 2016. 
 
Ergomed plc has a 12 month measurement period from the date of acquisition,
and therefore the measurement period ends on 27 November 2017. 
 
If the acquisition of PharmInvent had been completed on the first day of the
financial year, group revenues for the year ended 31 December 2016 would have
been £3,216,000 higher and group profit before tax would have been £593,000
higher.

14.  RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR BALANCE SHEET 
 
In July 2014, Ergomed plc acquired the entire issued share capital of
PrimeVigilance Limited for consideration comprising £6,000,000 in cash, and
1,875,000 shares of £0.01 each, valued at £1.60 per share. The excess of share
value over the nominal value of those shares was taken to the share premium
account. However, under the Companies Act 2006, these amounts should have been
posted to the merger reserve. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated
balance sheet as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015. This adjustment has
no impact on the net assets of the Group, the Consolidated income statement or
the Consolidated cash flow statement. The impact on the Consolidated balance
sheet is set out below.
