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 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 customer relationships. The intangibles were valued using an income
approach, using Multi-Period excess earnings Method for customer relationships
and Relief from Royalty Method for brand valuation.  The amortisation of
intangibles has been charged to administrative expenses in the Income
Statement. There is no amortisation on business systems during the year as the
systems are yet to be brought into use. 
 
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 value of all goodwill has been
assessed during the year. A non-cash impairment of goodwill arising from an
acquisition in 2007 was made during the previous year. 
 
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 covering a five year period based on
the detailed financial forecasts approved by management for the next three
years with estimated growth and inflation of 3% (2016: 3%) and 3% (2016: 3%)
respectively thereafter. The cashflows beyond this forecast are extrapolated
to perpetuity using a nil growth rate on a prudent basis, to reflect the
uncertainties of forecasting further than 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 combines volume, mix and price of products. An
inflation factor has been applied to costs of sales, variable costs and
indirect costs and takes into consideration the general rate of inflation,
movements in commodities, improvement in efficiencies from capital investment
and operations and purchasing initiatives. 
 
A pre-tax discount rate of 10% (2016: 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. 
 
A non-cash impairment of the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Anthony
Alan Foods Ltd in 2007 was made during the previous year. The impairment
reflects the challenging market and changing dynamics of the 'healthier'
grocery market. The related goodwill has been fully impaired and reflected in
both the Lightbody of Hamilton and Memory Lane Cakes cash generating units
accordingly. The impairment is shown as a significant non-recurring item
within administrative expenses. 
 
Sensitivity analyses have been carried out by the Directors on the carrying
value of all remaining goodwill using discount rates ranging between 3.5% and
15.0% which would not result in an impairment of any cash generating units.
Management believe any increase in discount rates above 15% to be remote. 
 
The carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated to cash generating units or
groups of cash generating units as follows: 
 
                           2017£000    2016£000
