68notes to the financial statements3. Critical accounting estimates and judgementsThe Group’s main accounting policies affecting its results of operations and financial condition are set out on pages 58 to66. Judgements and assumptions have been made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies in certainareas. Actual results may differ from the estimates calculated using these judgements and assumptions. Key sources ofestimation uncertainty and critical accounting judgements are as follows:GoodwillThe Group has capitalised goodwill of €234.7 million at 31 March 2006. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairmentat least annually or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicating potential impairmentexist. The Company uses the present value of future cash flows to determine implied fair value. In calculating the impliedfair value, management judgement is required in forecasting cash flows of reporting units, in estimating terminal growthvalues and in selecting an appropriate discount rate. No impairment resulted from the annual impairment test in 2006.Post-retirement benefitsThe Group operates a number of defined benefit retirement plans. The Group’s total obligation in respect of definedbenefit plans is calculated by independent, qualified actuaries, updated at least annually and totals €88.0 million. TheGroup also has plan assets totalling €67.3 million giving a net pension liability of €20.7 million for the Group. The size ofthe obligation is sensitive to actuarial assumptions. These include demographic assumptions covering mortality andlongevity, and economic assumptions covering price inflation, benefit and salary increases together with the discount rateused. The size of the plan assets is also sensitive to asset return levels and the level of contributions from the Group.4.
