As required under IFRS, the directors have undertaken a preliminary impairment review of the carrying amount of goodwill in the Group's consolidated balance sheet. Given the change in economic circumstances since the publication of the Company's interim results, there is likely to be a goodwill write down at the year end in relation to Berkeley Morgan Group Limited. Further details will be set out in the Company's preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2008.
