Sensitivity analysis
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.
The carrying values of the Group’s operations in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece are equal to, or not materially greater than, their estimated
recoverable amounts; 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 Germany and Romania exceeded their carrying values by approximately
£1,034 million and £184 million respectively.

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 the cash generating units of the plans used for impairment testing.
The changes in the following table to assumptions used in the impairment review would, in isolation, lead to an (increase)/decrease to the aggregate

Year ended 31 March 2012
During the year ended 31 March 2012 impairment charges of £2,450 million, £900 million, £450 million and £250 million were recorded in respect
of the Group’s investments in Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal, respectively. Of the total charge, £3,848 million related to goodwill and £202 million
was allocated to licence intangible assets and property, plant and equipment in Greece.
The impairment charges were primarily driven by increased discount rates as a result of increases in bond rates, with the exception of Spain where
rates reduced marginally compared to 31 March 2011. In addition, business valuations were negatively impacted by lower cash ows within business
plans reecting challenging economic and competitive conditions, and faster than expected regulatory rate cuts, particularly in Italy.
