Group's budgets, projections and funding requirements, and taking account of reasonable possible
changes in trading performance, the Directors believe they have reasonable grounds for stating that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 
 
The Directors are of the view that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks.  Accordingly, the Directors
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Accounts.

 (c) Deferred and contingent consideration in respect to acquisitions is measured under IFRS 3, initially at fair value discounted for the time value of money. The present value is then re-measured at each half-year and year-end in relation to the unwind of this discount.  In addition, any changes to contingent earn-outs arising from actual and forecast business performance are reflected.  All such adjustments are non-cash items.
