Trademarks comprise the rights to use PA Asia in a number of Asian territories. The directors are of the opinion that these
trademarks have a ten-year useful economic life and amortisation is calculated on that basis.
Fair value adjustments include £7,000 in respect of the 2006 acquisition of Thompson Stanley Publishers, £121,000 in
respect of the 2006 acquisition of PA SportsTicker Inc and £74,000 in respect of additional legal fees on the 2006 acquisitions.
