The incre<strong>as</strong>e compared to the end <strong>of</strong> l<strong>as</strong>t year is due to the goodwill arising on the<br />

acquisition <strong>of</strong> the remaining minority interests <strong>of</strong> iTouch South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (Euro<br />

1,084 thousand) and the translation <strong>of</strong> goodwill denominated in foreign currency using<br />

end-<strong>of</strong>-period exchange rates, which resulted in the recognition <strong>of</strong> a Euro 804 thousand<br />

exchange gain in the conversion reserve. Of particular note is the goodwill attributable to<br />

Rocket Mobile Inc., which amounted to USD 23,836 thousand.<br />

In accordance with IAS/IFRS, and, specifically, IAS 38, instead <strong>of</strong> systematically<br />

amortizing goodwill (IAS 38), goodwill is subject to impairment testing within one year <strong>of</strong><br />

acquisition, and on a yearly b<strong>as</strong>is thereafter, in order to detect impairment losses.<br />

Net fixed <strong>as</strong>sets include mainly electronic and IT equipment and amounted to Euro 3.7<br />

thousand at period-end (Euro 4.3 million compared to December <strong>31</strong>, 2008).<br />
