1.             The acquisition of the assets of the process control valve
manufacturer, Hiter Industria e Comercio de Controles Termo-Hidraulicos Ltda
(Hiter) was completed on 1st July 2016. The acquisition method of accounting
has been used. Consideration of £3.9 million was paid on completion.
Separately identified intangibles are recorded as part of the fair value
adjustment. The goodwill recognised represents the opportunity to achieve
synergies from being part of the Group and to sell to a wider customer base. 
Goodwill arising is not expected to be tax deductible. Hiter has generated
£0.7 million of revenue and a small pre-tax loss since acquisition. Had the
acquisition been made on 1st January 2016, the revenue and pre-tax profit
would have been approximately double the figures disclosed above. 
 
2.             The acquisition of Aflex Hose Limited and its subsidiary Aflex
Hose USA LLC was completed on 30th November 2016.  The acquisition method of
accounting has been used.  Consideration of £62.5 million was paid on
completion. Separately identified intangibles are recorded as part of the
provisional fair value adjustment. The goodwill recognised represents the
skilled workforce acquired and the opportunity to achieve synergies from being
part of a larger Group. Goodwill arising is not expected to be tax deductible.
The acquisition has generated £2.0 million of revenue and £0.5 million of
pre-tax profit since acquisition. Had the acquisition been made on 1st January
2016, the revenue and pre-tax profit would have been approximately twelve
times the figures disclosed. 
 
3.            £0.5 million of acquisition related costs were incurred during
the year. The acquired intangibles relate to manufacturing designs and core
technology, brand names and trademarks, customer relationships and non-compete
undertakings.
