Included in other intangibles is €1.684 million for licences purchased in Italy for the construction and operation
of solar power generation farms. The licences are held by a new Group company, Energie Mediterranee S.R.L.,
established for the purpose. The remainder of other intangibles consists principally of software and other patents
and licences.
On February 28, 2010 the Group acquired 75% of the equity of skytron energy GmbH. Goodwill arising on the
acquisition amounted to €3.038 million. In the period since acquisition to September 30, 2010 skytron contrib-
uted €7.278 million and €1.898 million to Group revenue and operating income respectively. The goodwill is
attributable to the skills and technical capability of skytron’s workforce. No other intangible assets were identi-
fied on the acquisition. A further amount is payable to the former skytron owners on the achievement of certain
EBITDA targets in 2010. This contingent consideration is payable in 2011 after skytron’s results for 2010 have
been determined. An estimate of the amount payable has been included in the purchase price and in the calcula-
tion of goodwill on acquisition.
