Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
Other than as disclosed below, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the
carrying value of any cash generating unit to exceed its recoverable amount.
31 March 2012
The estimated recoverable amounts of the Group’s operations in Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal equalled their respective carrying values and,
consequently, any adverse change in key assumption would, in isolation, cause a further impairment loss to be recognised. The estimated
recoverable amounts of the Group’s operations in India and Romania exceeded their carrying values by approximately £2,060 million and £66
million respectively.
The table below shows the key assumptions used in the value in use calculations.

Notes:
1 Budgeted EBITDA is expressed as the compound annual growth rates in the initial ve years for all cash generating units of the plans used for impairment testing.
2 Budgeted capital expenditure is expressed as the range of capital expenditure as a percentage of revenue in the initial ve years for all cash generating units of the plans used for impairment testing.
The table below shows, for India and Romania, the amount by which each key assumption must change in isolation in order for the estimated
recoverable amount to be equal to its carrying value.

The estimated recoverable amounts of the Group’s operations in Italy, Spain, Greece, Ireland and Portugal equalled their respective carrying values
and, consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions would, in isolation, cause a further impairment loss to be recognised. The estimated
recoverable amounts of the Group’s operations in Turkey, India and Ghana exceeded their carrying values by approximately £1,481million,
£977million and £138million, respectively.
