The operation of this provision shall not prejudice the ability of the Purchaser to give notice of a Claim in accordance with Clause 8.3. 8.12 If the Purchaser becomes aware of any claim, action or demand made against any Target Company by a third party (a "Third Party Claim") which is reasonably likely to give rise to a Claim (other than a Claim under the Tax Warranties which shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Covenant) the Purchaser shall: 8.12.1 within twenty (20) Business Days of becoming aware of such Third Party Claim, give to the Seller written notice containing a summary of the nature of the Third Party Claim as far as is known to the Purchaser at that time; 8.12.2 keep the Seller reasonably informed of all material developments in relation to the Third Party Claim within its knowledge, consult with the Seller in relation to the Third Party Claim, supply the Seller with such material information and copies of documents relating to the Third Party Claim that the Seller reasonably requires, and deal with the Third Party Claim having given consideration to the reasonable representation and views of the Seller, save where to do so would or might reasonably breach or endanger the legal privilege of any member of the Purchaser's Group and save always that, but subject to Clause 8.12.3, the Purchaser shall have ultimate discretion as to how a Third Party Claim shall be conducted; and 8.12.3 not (and shall procure that no other member of the Purchaser's Group shall) agree any compromise or settlement, or make any admission of liability or payment, in relation to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 8.13 The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover twice in respect of the same loss or liability, whether for breach of the Warranties, under the Tax Covenant or otherwise. 8.14 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any of the warranties or any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any damages for breach of warranty or any breach of this Agreement, if and to the extent that the Purchaser's losses are indirect or consequential loss. 8.15 Nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to relive or abrogate the Purchaser of any common law or other duty to avoid or mitigate any loss or damage suffered or incurred that may or does give rise to a Claim.
8.16 This Clause 7 shall not apply to any claim pursuant to the Tax Covenant or to any claim under this Agreement (including any Claim) arising out of fraud or wilful concealment. 8.17 The provisions of the Tax Covenant (including for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set out therein), apply to any Claim under the Tax Warranties to the extent therein stated. 9.

No Target Company has pending social security debts nor deferrals with the Social Security administration. 16.5 No agreement or undertaking exists whereby a Target Company must pay to any, present or former, employee, manager or officer of the Target Group any kind of compensation, severance payment or benefit of any nature for dismissal, termination or departure of his/her contract with the Target Group (in excess of payment for notice) for an amount exceeding the minimum statutory severance payment established for each case. 16.6 No present or former employee, officer or manager of the Target Group is entitled to (i) share option and incentive schemes; (ii) profit sharing, bonus, commission or other incentive schemes; (iii) any other scheme under which pay varies (other than normal overtime) and (iv) any scheme under which benefits granted could be considered vested as a result of this Agreement. 16.7 There are no sums or other liabilities owed by any Target Company to any director, employee or former employee of the Target Group, other than amounts representing reimbursement of expenses, wages for the current salary period (including bonuses payable to players or managers pursuant to existing arrangements) and accrued holiday pay for the current holiday year. All amounts due and payable on or before Completion in relation to pension contributions, social security contributions, social insurance contributions and other mandatory payments to the employees of the Target Group have been duly paid on the due dates for such payments. 16.8 There are no claims existing or threatened, either administrative or judicial, in relation to any Target Company, by or in respect of employment, social security, prevention on occupational hazards' issues or any other matter arising from their employment, and, so far as the Sellers are aware, there are no facts or matters which could give rise to such claims. 17. RETIREMENT BENEFITS 17.1 No Target Company has any obligation to provide or contribute towards pension, lump sum, death, ill-health, disability or accident benefits ("Relevant Benefits") in respect of its current or former officers or employees or workers ("Pensionable Employees")
and no proposal or announcement has been made to any employee or officer or worker of any Target Company about the introduction, continuance, increase or improvement of, or the payment of a contribution towards, any Relevant Benefits. 17.2 No Target Company is, and has never been, a participating employer in a defined benefit pension scheme. 17.3 No notices, fines, or other sanctions have been issued by the Pensions Regulator since the Seller acquired the Target Group on July 2 2014 and so far as the Seller is aware no instances of non-compliance with the automatic enrolment obligations have been notified to the Pensions Regulator in respect of any Target Company. 17.4 All contributions, insurance premiums, tax and expense due to, and in respect of, the Relevant Benefits have been duly paid. There is no liability outstanding in respect of the Relevant Benefits at the Completion Date. 17.5 No Target Company has discriminated against any Pensionable Employee on any grounds in providing any Relevant Benefits. 17.6 No claims or complaints have been made or so far as the Seller is aware are pending or threatened in respect of the provision of (or failure to provide) any Relevant Benefits by any Target Company in relation to any of the Pensionable Employees and so far as the Seller is aware there is no fact or circumstance likely to give rise to such claims or complaints. 18. PROPERTY 18.1 No Target Company owns any real estate property in England, Hong Kong or Singapore or abroad. Likewise, no Target Company has right of ownership, right to use, option, right of first refusal or contractual obligation to purchase, or any other legal or equitable right affecting any lands and buildings. 18.2 In this paragraph 18, "Previously-owned Land and Buildings" means any land and buildings that has or have, at any time before the date of this Agreement, been owned (under whatever tenure) and/or occupied and/or used by any Target Company, but which are either: 18.2.1 no longer owned, occupied or used by any Target Company; or 18.2.2 owned, occupied or used by any Target Company but pursuant to a different lease, licence, transfer or conveyance. 18.3 No Target Company has any liability (whether actual or contingent) in respect of Previously-owned Land and Buildings, nor has it given any guarantee or indemnity for any liability relating to any of the properties, any Previously-owned Land and Buildings or any other land and buildings. 19. ENVIRONMENTAL 19.1 In this paragraph 19, the following words and expressions have the following meanings: "Hazardous Substances" means any natural or artificial substances or materials (whether solid, liquid, gas or otherwise and whether alone or in combination with any other substance or material) capable of causing harm to human health and/or the environment, including, for the avoidance of doubt, noise, light, radiation, heat, vibration, waste, carbon dioxide and/or any other greenhouse gases; "HSE Laws" means all applicable statutes and subordinate legislation and other national, international or European Union laws, common laws, by-laws, rules, guidance

INSURANCE 20.1 Each Target Company maintains, and has at all material times maintained, adequate insurance cover against all losses, liabilities and risks. 20.2 The policies of insurance maintained by or on behalf of any Target Company are in full force and effect, all premiums due on them have been paid and so far as the Seller is aware all other conditions of the policies have been performed and observed. No Target Company has done, nor has it omitted to do, anything that may result in an increase in the premium payable for any of the policies, or affect the renewal of any of the policies. There are no outstanding claims under, or in respect of the validity of, any of the policies and, so far as the Seller is aware, there are no circumstances likely to give rise to a claim under any of the policies. Part 3 – Taxation In this part, defined terms have the same meaning as set out in the Tax Covenant. 1. Since the Accounts Date: 1.1 no member of the Target Group has been involved in any transaction which has given rise (or, so far as the Seller is aware, may give rise) to a liability to Taxation on any of them (or would have given rise to such a liability but for the availability of any Relief) other than Taxation in respect of normal trading income, receipts or payments of the Target Group arising from transactions entered into by them in the ordinary course of business; 1.2 no expense (other than expenses incurred in the ordinary course in respect of business entertaining) in excess of £50,000 has been incurred by any member of the Target Group which will not be deductible for the purposes of Tax, either in computing the
profits of the Target Group or in computing the Tax or corresponding Taxation chargeable on them. 2. The Accounts reserve or provide in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice for all Tax for which the Target Group was at the Accounts Date liable or able to be made liable and the Accounts reserve for any disputed, contingent or deferred liability to Tax in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, including in particular any provision or reserve for Tax in accordance with FIN48 (or any similar or analogous accounting requirement). 3. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, each Target Company has filed correctly and in due time all the Tax returns which it is required to file or submit in accordance with the Tax Statutes in relation to all Taxes, it has duly and punctually paid all Taxes for which it is liable (in its capacity as taxpayer, withholding agent, substitute, liable party on a secondary or joint and several basis, or in any other capacity) within the legally established time period. 4. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, all Tax returns filed by any Target Company were accurate, complete and correct at the time they were filed and were prepared in accordance with the applicable Tax Statutes, with a correct calculation of the Taxes due, and none of them is or has been, the subject of any dispute or, so far as the Seller is aware, investigation with any Tax Authority. No Target Company is currently under any liability to pay any penalty, surcharge, fine or interest in connection with Taxes and, so far as the Seller is aware, there is no existing circumstance by reason of which any Target Company may become liable to pay any, penalty, surcharge, fine or interest in connection with Taxes. 5. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, each Target Company has maintained (to the extent required by the Tax Statutes) all the necessary information and documentation to support the correct calculation of Taxes (including the calculation of Reliefs) declared in Tax returns submitted by each Target Company including details (where relevant) of all consents, clearances, arrangements, Tax audits, Tax postponements or deferrals, agreements or elections which have been obtained or made in relation to Tax affairs of any Target Company and which have had relevance to the Tax affairs of any Target Company. 6. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, each member of the Target Group has sufficient records as required by the Tax Statutes of past events to permit accurate calculation of the Taxation liability or Relief which would arise on the disposal on Completion of each capital asset owned by each member of the Target Group. 7. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, each Target Company has deducted or withheld all Taxes which it has been obliged by law to deduct or withhold from amounts paid (including to employees, directors, independent professionals, shareholders or service providers) and has filed in due time all withholding Tax returns in accordance with applicable Tax Statutes, and it has duly and punctually paid to the Tax Authority all amounts of Taxes so deducted or withheld. 8. Each Target Company is and has at all times been resident in its country of incorporation for Tax purposes and is not and has not at any time in that period been treated as resident in any other jurisdiction for any Tax purpose (including under any double taxation arrangement). No Target Company is subject to Tax in any jurisdiction other than its place of incorporation by virtue of having a permanent establishment or other place of business in that jurisdiction for any Tax purpose (including under any double taxation arrangement). 9. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, all claims made by the Target Group for group relief or allowance were valid when made and the Target Group have met all procedural and other requirements under the Tax Statutes in respect of such claims for group relief or allowance. 10. The implementation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including the entry into this Agreement and/or Completion) will not give rise to any deemed disposal or realisation by any Target Company of any asset or liability for any Tax purpose or withdrawal, claw-back or
non-availability of any Relief which has been claimed by any Target Company on or prior to Completion. 11. So far as the Seller is aware, there are no circumstances which could cause any Tax Authority to deny relief for interest paid by any Target Company. 12. In respect of all material transactions entered into by any Target Company under which any Target Company is an affected person within the meaning of Part 4 Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 (or any overseas equivalent) and in respect of which those provisions permit a Tax Authority to make adjustments, so far as the Seller is aware, provisions between each Target Company and other affected persons are not susceptible to adjustment by any Tax Authority. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, there has been no challenge by any Tax Authorities to the transfer pricing of any intra-group transactions. 13. No Target Company is involved in any non-routine audit, dispute, investigation, proceeding, request for ruling or action in relation to Taxes with any Tax Authority which is outstanding at the date of this Agreement, and so far as the Seller is aware, no such dispute or investigation is expected. Moreover, no Target Company has been the subject or recipient of any judgment or non-routine investigation of a Tax nature since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014. 14. Since the Accounts Date, no distribution or deemed distribution has been made (or will be deemed to have been made) by any Target Company, except dividends shown in their statutory accounts, and no Target Company is bound to make any such distribution. 15. For the purposes of this paragraph 15 the expression "VAT legislation" includes any relevant Tax Statutes in relation to VAT and all other enactments in relation to VAT and all notices, provisions and conditions made or issued thereunder. In relation to each Target Company: 15.1 it is registered for the purposes of VAT, has been so registered at all times that it has been required to be registered by VAT legislation and such registration is not subject to any conditions imposed by or agreed with the relevant Tax Authority; 15.2 since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, (to the extent relevant) it has complied with and observed in all material respects the terms of VAT legislation; 15.3 which is registered for VAT in the United Kingdom it does, and is entitled to, fully recover any input VAT it incurs on its expenditure; 15.4 since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, (to the extent relevant) it has maintained and obtained at all times complete, correct and up-to-date records, invoices and other documents (as the case may be) appropriate or requisite for the purposes of VAT legislation and has preserved such records, invoices and other documents in such form and for such periods as are required by VAT legislation; 15.5 it is not and has not been treated as a member of a group for the purposes of VAT legislation, and has not applied for such treatment or, if it has been so treated, it has accounted to the representative member of the relevant group for all VAT that is properly attributable to it. 16. All documents in the possession or under the control of each Target Company or to the production of which any Target Company is entitled which establish or are necessary to establish the title of any Target Company to any asset and in respect of which any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or stamp duty land tax or any similar tax in the case of any jurisdiction other than the UK is payable (and in respect of which acknowledgment of payment is required to be denoted by stamping of such document), have been duly stamped (where applicable and required) and any applicable stamp duties have been duly accounted for and paid.
17. There are no assets held by any Target Company at Completion in respect of which the Seller is aware, or ought reasonably to be aware, that an additional Tax return in respect of the acquisition of that asset will be required to be filed with a Tax Authority and/or a payment of stamp duty or transfer or registration tax in respect of the acquisition of that asset made on or after Completion. 18. Since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, no event has occurred as a consequence of which any Target Company is or may be held liable for or to indemnify any person in respect of any Tax which, in each case, is primarily or directly chargeable against or attributable to any person other than any Target Company. 19. No Target Company is bound by any Tax indemnity, Tax sharing or Tax grouping agreement, or fiscal unity, irrespective of whether such agreement is written or not, in respect of which any Target Company owes or, so far as the Seller is aware, could owe Tax to a company which is not a member of the Target Group. 20. In this paragraph 20, "employee" means an employee of any member of the Target Group or any person who is or has been or could properly be treated as an employee of any member of the Target Group for Taxation purposes by any Tax Authority. 20.1 No member of the Target Group has made, nor agreed to make, any payment to, or provided or agreed to provide any benefit for, any director or former director, officer or employee of any member of the Target Group as compensation for loss of office or termination of employment which is not allowable as a deduction in calculating the profits of the Target Group for Taxation purposes. 20.2 There are no securities, options over securities or interests in securities in each case which are employment related securities or securities options as defined in Part 7 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000 acquired prior to Completion in respect of which any member of the Group may have to account for income Tax or national insurance, social fund or similar contributions liabilities (or equivalent obligations in any jurisdiction) of any employee. If any share options have been granted by any Target Company or granted by any member of the Seller Group to any employee of any Target Company, such share options will have expired, been cancelled or otherwise cease to exist prior to Completion. 21. So far as the Seller is aware, since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014: 21.1 no member of the Target Group has ever received advice from qualified Tax advisors, that any transactions to which the Target Group or any Target Company is or was a party constitute or form part of any Tax avoidance scheme in any jurisdiction; and 21.2 no Tax Authority has challenged any Target Company on tax anti-avoidance grounds. 22. So far as the Seller is aware, since the acquisition of the Target Group by the Seller on 2 July 2014, no Target Company has been involved in any transaction or series of transactions which (or any part of which) may for any Tax purposes need to be specifically disclosed to a Tax Authority (other than as part of routine periodic compliance) or which is at risk of being disregarded, re-characterised or reconstructed, in each case by reason of any motive to avoid, reduce or delay a liability to Tax. 23. The only entities in the UK corporation tax group payment arrangement are the UK Targets (as defined in the Tax Deed). Prior to Completion, no entity classification election pursuant to IRS Form 8832 has been made in respect of any Target Company

Part 2 – Preparation of Completion Statement 1. The Seller will provide to the Purchaser such information in its possession as is reasonably required to assist with the preparation of the Completion Statement (the "Completion Statement Information") as soon as practicable after Completion and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of Completion. The Purchaser shall permit the Seller and or their nominated representative access to all accounting records up to the date of Completion at reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purposes of collating and providing the Completion Statement Information. 2. The Purchaser shall within sixty (60) Business Days of the date of receipt of the Completion Statement Information from the Seller, prepare and submit to the Seller a draft of the Completion Statement in respect of any Target Company, prepared in accordance with Part 3 of this Schedule 3 and in the form set out in Part 4 of this Schedule 3. 3. The Seller may serve a written notice on the Purchaser stating that it objects (an "Objection Notice") or that it does not object (an "Acceptance Notice") to the draft Completion Statement within a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the draft Completion Statement and if the Seller serves an Acceptance Notice or does not serve an Objection Notice within that period then such draft shall be, or shall deemed to be, as the case may be, the agreed Completion Statement for the purposes of this Agreement. 4. If the Seller serves an Objection Notice within the requisite time period in accordance with paragraph 3 above, such notice must identify those items of the Completion Statement which the Seller disputes, the reasons for its objection and the effect that the Seller believes that the items in dispute have on the relevant amounts set out therein together with full details of the calculations of such effect and supporting working papers. 5. If the Seller provides the Purchaser with an Objection Notice within the time period and in accordance with paragraph 4 above, then the Completion Statement shall be regarded as being disputed and the Purchaser and the Seller shall endeavour to agree any matter in dispute. If the matter in dispute is resolved by agreement between the Purchaser and the Seller, the Purchaser and the Seller shall certify the draft Completion Statement (subject to any amendment agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller) as being the Completion Statement and it shall become final and binding on the Purchaser and the Seller for the purposes of this Agreement. 6. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve any disagreements within ten (10) Business Days of the service of the Objection Notice, then either the Purchaser or the Seller may require by notice in writing that the outstanding matters be referred to the Independent Accountants for determination with instructions to adjudicate the objection or disputed items in accordance with this Agreement and the provisions of Part 3 of this Schedule 3. Only those items or amounts specified in the Objection Notice and not resolved pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Part 2 of this Schedule 3 shall be treated as being in dispute and no amendment may be made to the Completion Statement by the Seller, the Purchaser or the Independent Accountant save in respect of those items in dispute. 7. The Purchaser will provide (and will procure that any Target Company provides) and the Seller will provide, to each other, their respective accountants (if any) and the Independent Accountants without charge: 7.1 access to all such Accounts, books, documents, records and papers (which may be in their possession or under their control) relating to any Target Company; 7.2 access to such personnel (including in the case of the Seller, the auditors and other professional advisers engaged by any Target Company prior to Completion) and premises; and
7.3 acting in good faith, all such co-operation and assistance, as may reasonably be required to produce the Completion Statement or make the relevant adjudication. 8. The Purchaser and the Seller shall bear their own costs incurred pursuant to Clause 5 and this Part 2 of this Schedule 3. 9. Following agreement or determination of the Completion Statement, the Cash, Indebtedness and Working Capital shall be set out in the final Completion Statement.
Part 3 – Relevant principles, policies, bases, practices and methods 1. The accounting principles, policies, bases, practices and methods (including for purposes of tax) to be used in the preparation of the Completion Statement are as follows: 1.1 the specific principles, policies, bases, practices and methods detailed in paragraph 2 below; and subject thereto; 1.2 the specific principles, policies, bases, practices and methods detailed in paragraph 3 below; and subject thereto; and 1.3 the principles, policies, bases, practices and methods consistent with those used in the preparation of the Management Accounts, to the extent compliant with US GAAP as at the Accounts Date and subject thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 1.1 shall take precedence over paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 and paragraph 1.2 shall take precedence over paragraph 1.3. 2. The following specific principles, policies, bases, practices and methods shall be used in preparation of the Completion Statement to the extent they are applicable to the Target Group: 2.1 a liability will be included in the Completion Statement in respect of the uncertain tax provisions as referenced in the FIN48 tax provisions memo contained in the Data Room including all interest and penalties; 2.2 a liability shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of employee bonuses, including retention bonuses and social security costs thereon, and any bonuses crystallising as a result of the proposed transaction, in each case accrued but unpaid as at the Effective Time; 2.3 a liability shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of any liability in relation to any employee stock option accrued but unpaid as at the Effective Time; 2.4 a liability shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and/or expenses in relation to any audits as at the Effective Time; 2.5 a liability shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of customer amounts that have a credit balance as at the Effective Time; 2.6 an asset shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of the net indebtedness owing to the Target Companies by the Seller's Group (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude the Target Group) immediately prior to the Effective Time; and 2.7 full provision shall be made in the Completion Statement in respect of all costs, fees, interests, Tax and/or expenses in relation to the settlement, after Completion, of indebtedness owing to the Target Companies by the Seller's Group (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude the Target Group) immediately prior to the Effective Time. 3. The following specific principles, policies, bases, practices and methods shall be used in preparation of the Completion Statement: Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies. The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Going concern The Group is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows, on its own account, for the foreseeable future. The Group participates in centralised treasury arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries to share banking arrangements. The Group's directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: • the Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; • the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; • it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; • it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract; • the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and • the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. Goodwill Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually on 1 October based upon quantitative analysis. For the 1 October 2018 test, we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment and concluded that it was more likely than not that our reporting units' fair values exceeded their carrying values. Intangible assets Customer Relationships Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years, the website's estimated useful life is 8 years and it is therefore amortised over this period. Proprietary Content Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years, the website's estimated useful life is 5 years and it is therefore amortised over this period. Production and course costs Production costs relating to the creation of training materials and other film media are capitalised
where they relate to a separately identifiable project of ongoing commercial value to the Company. Each such asset is recorded within intangible assets and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful economic life (typically 4 years). Where a third party contributes towards the Company's production costs in return for an entitlement to royalty income generated by the sale of such media, that obligation is recognised as a liability. That liability is initially recorded within provisions at the amount received, which is considered to represent its fair value on inception, and this fair value is subsequently remeasured at each Statement of Financial Position date. Any differences on such remeasurement are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Website Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years, the website's estimated useful life is 3 years and it is therefore amortised over this period. Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Group adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives range as follows: Fixtures and fittings - 5 years Office and Computer equipment - 3 years Videotel on Demand' units - 4 years The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the lease term. Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out-basis. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
Debtors Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Cash and cash equivalents Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. Financial instruments The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in the case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of financial position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Creditors Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Foreign currency translation Functional and presentational currency
The Group's functional and presentational currency is Sterling (£). Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow xxxxxx. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'other operating income'. Finance costs Finance costs are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument. Pensions The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds. Dividends Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. Current and deferred taxation The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates income. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of financial position date, except that: • The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
• Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Interest income Interest income is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method. Provisions for liabilities Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of comprehensive income in the period that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of financial position. Research and development In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years. If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only. Share based payments Our share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognised as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value on the date of grant of compensatory share options. Determining the fair value of share option awards at the grant date requires judgment regarding certain valuation assumptions, including the volatility of our share price, expected term of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could result in different fair values and could therefore impact our earnings. These changes would not impact our cash flows. The fair value of restricted Share awards is based upon our share price on the grant date. The amount of share-based compensation expense recorded in any period for unvested awards requires estimates of the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur
Compensation costs for awards subject only to service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. We have no awards that are subject to performance or market conditions. Part 4 – Independent Accountants' Appointment 1. The Independent Accountants shall be appointed by agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser. If the Seller and the Purchaser cannot agree within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of a notice by the Purchaser or the Seller that the other elects to appoint an Independent Accountant, then the Independent Accountants shall be appointed by the President, or an officer appointed by him, of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales among the following accounting firms: Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and KPMG LLP. 2. The Purchaser and the Seller shall each use reasonable endeavours to agree the terms of appointment and reference of the Independent Accountant as soon as reasonably practicable. 3. The Independent Accountants shall be instructed to: 3.1 invite the Seller and the Purchaser to submit to them, within such time limits (not being less than fifteen (15) Business Days and not more than twenty-five (25) Business Days) as they may consider appropriate, such representations and cross-representations with such supporting evidence as they may respectively wish as to the draft Completion Statement or the subject matter of adjudication (as appropriate); and 3.2 within forty (40) Business Days of its appointment or within such extended period as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree, give to each of them their determination of the Completion Statement or adjudication (as appropriate). 4. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants including the fee payable for their nomination, shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser in the proportions determined by the Independent Accountants but, failing such determination, they shall be payable by the Seller and the Purchaser in equal shares who shall each bear their own costs, fees and expenses. 5. If the Independent Accountants are unwilling to act, or become incapable of acting, or if, for any other reason, they are unable to act, then the Sellers or the Purchaser may request the President or an officer appointed by him of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales to discharge the firm appointed as the Independent Accountants and appoint another in their place to act in the same capacity, which procedure may be repeated as many times as necessary. 6. The Independent Accountants will determine (using their own legal advice as appropriate) any question of the legal construction of this Agreement insofar as it is relevant to preparation of the Completion Statement or the subject matter of the adjudication. If the Independent Accountants obtain legal advice, a copy of the advice and any instructions on which it is based will be delivered to the Sellers and to the Purchaser. 7. The Independent Accountants will act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) in making their determination which will (in the absence of fraud or manifest error) be final and binding on the parties.
