As at December 31, 2012, the gross carrying amount of goodwill was £2,235.6 million and accumulated impairment
charges were £362.2 million.
As at December 31, 2012, goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization totaling £1,819.8 million and
£206.8 million are allocated to our Consumer and Business reporting units, respectively. We performed our annual
impairment reviews of our Consumer and Business reporting units as at October 1, 2012 and 2011. As a result of this
review we concluded that no impairment charge was required at either date. Based on the results of the review as at
October 1, 2012, neither our Business or Consumer reporting units were at risk of failing Step 1 of the goodwill
impairment test, under FASB ASC, which requires comparison of the carrying values and fair values of reporting units.
