40. Acquisitions
The Group made ve acquisitions during the year, in connection with which provisional goodwill of US$201m has been recognised based on
the fair value of the net assets acquired of US$93m. These transactions included the purchase of substantially all the assets of Mighty Net, Inc
on 21 September 2010 for a consideration of US$208m. This acquisition supports Experians strategy by leveraging key new consumer brands
in its Interactive business in North America. The Group has also consolidated the acquisition of a small entity in China acquired during the
year although it has no direct equity holding in this business. The entity is controlled through operating agreements established as part of the
acquisition structure and arrangements with its nominee shareholder.
In aggregate, the acquired businesses contributed revenue of US$67m and prot after tax of US$3m to the Group for the periods from their
respective acquisition dates to 31 March 2011, including revenue of US$60m and prot after tax of US$4m in respect of Mighty Net, Inc. If these
acquisitions had been completed on 1 April 2010, further revenue of US$78m would have been reported, including US$53m in respect of Mighty
Net, Inc. It has been impracticable to estimate the impact on Group prot after tax had the acquired entities been owned from 1 April 2010,
as their accounting policies and period end dates did not accord with those of the Group prior to their acquisition. As indicated in note 13,
acquisition expenses have been charged to the Group income statement.
