Note 2: Summary of differences between accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom and the United States of America
The Group’s consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (‘UK GAAP’), which differs in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘US GAAP’).

Notes to the financial statements(continued)
Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising on acquisitions after 1 April 1998 is accounted for in accordance with FRS 10, ‘Goodwill and Intangible Assets’, and capitalised and amortised. Where capitalised goodwill is regarded as having a limited useful economic life, FRS 10 requires the cost to be amortised on a straight-line basis over that life, which generally does not exceed 20 years.
Under US GAAP, the Group has adopted SFAS 142, ‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’ under which it is no longer required to amortise goodwill but is required to subject these assets to at least annual testing for impairment. As a result of these impairment tests, no impairment charge was recorded in the year ended 31 December 2005.
(ii) | Business Combinations |
For business combinations, the purchase method of accounting is used for UK GAAP whereby the acquiring entity allocates consideration for the transaction to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition with the differences treated as goodwill. The Group accounts for these business combinations on a consistent basis under US GAAP with the following exceptions:
Under UK GAAP, the Group recognises intangible assets separately in a business combination only when they can be disposed of separately without disposing of the business of the entity. Under US GAAP, the Group recognises acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights even if the assets are not transferable or separable from the acquired entity or from other rights and obligations. In connection with the acquisition of FD International, occurring in the year ended 31 December 2003, the Group recognised intangible assets of £7.1m under US GAAP, comprising customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete contracts which are amortised over the their estimated useful lives of 1 to 8 years. In connection with the further business combinations occurring in the year ended 31 December 2005, the Group recognised intangible assets of £4.1m, also comprising customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete contracts which are being amortised over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 10 years.
(iii) | Contingent Consideration |
In business combinations, under UK GAAP, the fair value of the consideration payable includes an estimate of amounts that are deferred or that are contingent upon the future revenues of the acquired entity. Under US GAAP, the contractual terms relating to the determination and payment of deferred and contingent consideration may cause elements of the total expected consideration to be treated as compensation cost for post acquisition services. This element is accrued over the relevant service period. In connection with business combinations occurring in the year ended 31 December 2005, the Group recognised £4.1m of contingent consideration as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies under UK GAAP. Under US GAAP, this is recognised as compensation expense in periods subsequent to the acquisition.
Under UK GAAP, the Group provides for deferred tax in respect of timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of available evidence, it is regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits against which to recover carried forward tax losses and from which the future reversal of underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Notes to the financial statements(continued)
Under US GAAP, deferred taxation is provided for all temporary differences (differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax bases) on a full liability basis. Deferred tax assets are also recognised (net of a valuation allowance) to the extent that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realised.
(v) | Reconciliation of consolidated statement of cash flows |
Under UK GAAP, the Group complies with FRS 1 (Revised), ‘Cash Flow Statements’, the objective and principles of which are similar to those set out in SFAS 95, ‘Statement of Cash Flows’. The principal difference between the two standards is in respect of classification. Under FRS 1 (Revised), the Group presents its cash flows for (a) operating activities; (b) returns on investments and servicing of finance; (c) taxation; (d) capital expenditure and financial investment; (e) acquisitions and disposals; (f) equity dividends paid; (g) management of liquid resources; and (h) financing activities. SFAS 95 is less prescriptive and recognises only three categories of cash flow activity: (a) operating; (b) investing; and (c) financing.
Cash flows arising from taxation and returns on investments and servicing of finance under FRS 1 (Revised) would be included as operating activities under SFAS 95; dividend payments would be included as a financing activity under SFAS 95 and cash flows from capital expenditure, long-term investments, acquisitions and disposals would be included as investing activities under SFAS 95. In addition, under FRS 1 (Revised), cash represents cash at bank and in hand, less bank overdrafts; cash equivalents (i.e. liquid resources) are not included with cash. Movements of liquid resources are included under a separate heading. Under US GAAP, cash is not offset by bank overdrafts repayable within 24 hours from the date of the advance. Such overdrafts are classified within financing activities under US GAAP. Set out below is a summary consolidated statement of cash flows under US GAAP:
