28. ACQUISITIONS continued
Year ended 31 March 2006
Atlanet
On 28 February 2006 the group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Atlanet SpA (Atlanet) for total consideration of
£65 million, including deferred consideration of £7 million and acquisition costs of £1 million. At 31 March 2006, the fair value of
Atlanet’s net assets were determined on a provisional basis. During the 2007 financial year the determination of fair value has been
finalised and adjustments have been made to the balances previously reported. Prior year balances have not been restated as the
amount of the adjustments is not significant to the group. The net assets acquired in the transaction and the goodwill arising were
as follows:

Payables (43) (6) (49)

The residual excess over the net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Goodwill comprises principally the anticipated cost
synergies and savings that are forecast to arise subsequent to the acquisition.
