The group made a number of small acquisitions during the year, namely Caterfood (UK), Cimandis (UK),
Knight Meats (UK), MPD (Czech Republic), Van Bennekom (Netherlands), Hume Fresh Produce and
Pacific Provideros (Australia).
These acquisitions form part of the group’s strategic expansion plans in the international foodservice
industry. Goodwill arose on the acquisitions as the anticipated value of future cash flows that were
taken into account in determining the purchase consideration exceeded the net assets acquired at fair
value. The acquisitions have enabled the group to expand its range of complementary products and
services and, as a consequence, has broadened the group’s base in the market place.
There were no significant contingent liabilities identified in the businesses acquired.
