The other intangible assets arose on the buy-out of future royalty obligations on certain of the Group’s products. The Directors have determined that the useful economic life of the other intangible asset is 18 years, being the period of the future royalty obligation that was bought out.

Additions in the current period include the derma-cosmetic products acquired from Syrio Pharma SpA (€3,272,000) and Laboratoires Derma Omnium (€1,264,000); distribution rights to a new dermatology product to be launched in the current year, and new patent licences. £1,365,000 in relation to these additions was outstanding at 30 June 2008 and is included in other payables.

Disposals realised no cash proceeds as they were made in part settlement of the outstanding liability in respect of prior period additions.

Exchange adjustments arise purely as a result of the impact of the difference in the Sterling: Euro exchange rate at the beginning and end of the year on balances denominated in Euros.
