Acquired brandnames are not amortised under AASB 138 

Intangible Assets, as the Directors consider these to have an indefinite life.  The 

brandnames are subject to an annual impairment test.
Due to the upcoming sale of the Group’s New Zealand Housewares business an amount of $2,270,000 has been transferred from goodwill to assets 

held for sale.  Refer to Note 14(B) for further information.
The Group is required to assess its provision for contingent consideration payable at each balance date.  Based on this review an amount of 

$4,140,000 has been adjusted against the associated brandnames.  Refer to Note 31 for further information.

The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is determined based on a value-in-use calculation.  These calculations use cash flow projections 

based on financial budgets/forecasts covering a one year period.  Cash flows beyond the projected period are extrapolated using estimated growth 

rates.  In performing the value-in-use calculations for each cash generating unit, the Group has applied a post-tax discount rate to discount the 

forecast future attributable post-tax cash flows.
The assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations, for all cash generating units, are set out below:
