On 8 July 2015, the UK corporation tax rate was reduced from 20% to 19% from 1
April 2017 and to 18% from 1 April 2020. This change has been substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date and, therefore, is included in these
financial statements. Further changes to the UK corporation tax rates were
announced in the Chancellor's Budget on 16 March 2016. These include
reductions to the main rate to 17% from 1 April 2020. As these changes had not
been substantively enacted at the balance sheet date their effects are not
included in these financial statements. 
 
Adjustments in respect of prior periods in the prior year includes the
recognition of £1,206,000 of tax losses incurred in prior years in Germany. 
 
4              DIVIDEND 
 
On 14 December 2015, a final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 July
2015 of £1,042,000 (1.0p per share) (2014: £804,000 (0.8p per share)) was paid

5          EARNINGS PER SHARE 
 
The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number
of shares in issue during the year. Shares held in employee share trusts are
treated as cancelled for the purposes of this calculation. 
 
The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic earnings
per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares and the post-tax effect
of dividends and/or interest, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive
options and other dilutive potential Ordinary Shares. 
 
The adjusted earnings per share has been calculated to reflect the underlying
profitability of the business by excluding the amortisation of intangible
assets, share-based payments, imputed interest, impairment charges,
exceptional items and any related tax effects. 
 
                                                                                      2016 £'000  2015 £'000

6          BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSALS 
 
Doughty Media 2 Ltd 
 
In 2013, YouGov acquired 100% of Doughty Media 2 Ltd, which owned the majority
shareholding in CoEditor Ltd, increasing YouGov's interest in CoEditor Ltd to
98.3%. 
 
During the year YouGov acquired the remaining 1.7% shareholding in CoEditor
Ltd for a cash consideration of £31,000. 
 
Acquisition of Decision Fuel 
 
On 9 January 2014, YouGov plc purchased a 100% shareholding in Decision Fuel
an Asia-based research and technology company with offices in Hong Kong,
Shanghai and Singapore. The basic purchase consideration payable is the sum of
six times the EBITDA of Decision Fuel in the year ending 31 July 2016 and two
times EBITDA (capped at 1.5 times 2016 EBITDA) in the year ending 31 July 2017
less any working capital funding provided by YouGov to Decision Fuel prior to
the end of the performance year. An initial payment of $1,000,000 (£608,000)
was paid upon completion, with the balance payable in two instalments in
December 2017 and December 2018. 
 
It is now estimated that no further consideration will be payable and as a
result the contingent consideration of £5,000 and the £53,000 of deemed staff
compensation charge recognised in prior periods were written back as
exceptional items along with £77,000 of accrued transaction costs.

In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, the carrying values of
goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment. The
cash-generating units (CGUs) are consistent with those segments shown in Note
1. The 2016 impairment review was undertaken as at 31 July 2016. The
recoverable amounts of all CGUs have been determined based on value in use
calculations. This review assessed whether the carrying value of goodwill was
supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from assets
using a projection period of three years for each CGU based on approved budget
numbers. The sources of the assumptions used in making the assessment are as
follows: 
 
·    Growth rates are internal forecasts based on both internal and external
market information. 
 
·    Margins reflect past experience, adjusted for expected changes. 
 
·    Terminal growth rates based on management's estimate of future long-term
average growth rates. 
 
·    Discount rates based on Group WACC, adjusted where appropriate. 
 
Annual EBITDA growth rates of 2.25% have been assumed in perpetuity beyond
year three. The pre-tax weighted average costs of capital used to discount the
future cash flows to their present values are Middle East 10% (2015: 10%), USA
17% (2015: 17%), Nordic 13% (2015: 13%), Germany 15% (2015: 15%) and Asia
Pacific 12% (2015: 12%). 
 
Management has considered reasonable possible changes in key assumptions and
performed sensitivity analyses under these scenarios. This analysis shows that
sufficient headroom exists and would not give rise to any further impairment.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables
approximate to their fair value. 
 
As at 31 July 2016, trade receivables of £10,101,000 (2015: £7,408,000) were
overdue but not impaired. These relate to a number of customers for which
there is no recent history of default or any other indication that the
receivable should not be fully collectable. The ageing analysis of past due
trade receivables which are not impaired is as follows: 
 
                                 31 July 2016 £'000  31 July 2015 £'000  
 Up to three months overdue      4,752               3,846               
 Three to six months overdue     4,467               2,186               
 Six months to one year overdue  631                 954                 
 More than one year overdue      251                 422

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
For the year ended 31 July 2016 
 
Movement on the Group provision for impairment of trade receivables is as
follows: 
 
                                                   2016 £'000  2015 £'000  
 Provision for receivables impairment at 1 August  235         230         
 Provision created in the year                     368         189         
 Provision utilised in the year                    (159)       (194)

 Provision for receivables impairment at 31 July   474         235         
 
 
The creation and release of the provision for impaired receivables has been
included in the consolidated income statement. The other classes within trade
and other receivables do not contain impaired assets. The maximum exposure to
credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of
receivable mentioned above. The Group does not hold any collateral as
security. 
 
The average length of time taken by customers to settle receivables is 59 days
(2015: 56 days). Concentrations of credit risk do exist with certain clients
with which we have trading relationships but none has a history of default and
all command a certain stature within the marketplace which minimises any
potential risk of default. Material balances (defined as greater than £250,000
(2015: greater than £250,000)) represent 39% of trade receivables (2015:
28%). 
 
At 31 July 2016, £nil (2015: £397,000) of the trade and other receivables of
YouGov Nordic and Baltic A/S were used as security against a loan and
revolving overdraft facility held by YouGov Nordic and Baltic A/S.
