The brand and customer relationships recognised were purchased as part of the
acquisition of Fletchers Group of Bakeries in October 2014. They are
considered to have a finite useful lives and are amortised on a straight line
basis over their estimated useful lives of twenty years for brands and fifteen
years for customers. The intangibles were valued using an income approach,
using Multi-Period excess earnings Method approach for customer relationships
and Relief from Royalty Method for brand valuation. 
 
Goodwill has arisen on acquisitions and reflects the future economic benefits
arising from assets that are not capable of being identified individually and
recognised as separate assets. The goodwill reflects the anticipated
profitability and synergistic benefits arising from the enlarged Group
structure. The goodwill is the balance of the total consideration less fair
value of assets acquired and identified. The carrying value of the goodwill is
reviewed annually for impairment. 
 
The carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated to cash generating units or
groups of cash generating units as follows:

8.         Intangibles (continued) 
 
The Group tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently
if there are indications that the goodwill may be impaired. The recoverable
amounts of the cash generating units are determined from value in use
calculations.  The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are the
discount rate used for future cash flows and the anticipated future changes in
revenue, direct costs and indirect costs. The assumptions used reflect the
past experience of management and future expectations. 
 
The Group prepares cash flow forecasts based on the most recent financial
budgets approved by management and extrapolates these forward for the next
five years with a residual value at the end of the five years.  Changes in
revenue and direct costs are based on past experience and expectations of
future changes in the market. 
 
The revenue growth rate used for impairment tests at 27 June 2015 was 3%
(2014: 3%) for all cash generating units. This inflation rate of 3% (2014: 3%)
has been applied to the 2016 budget and for the following 5 years on costs of
sales, variable costs and indirect costs. The five year cashflow is taken
along with a residual value at the end of the five year period. 
 
A pre-tax discount rate of 10% (2014: 10%) has been used in these
calculations. The Group has considered the economic environment and higher
level of return expected by equity holders due to the perceived risk in equity
markets when selecting the discount rate. 
 
The discount rate used for each cash generating unit has been kept constant as
the market risk is deemed not to be materially different between the different
segments of the bakery sector, nor over time. 
 
Sensitivities have been carried out by the Directors and they are comfortable
that at reasonable discount levels there are no indications of impairment.
