4.1 Goodwill continued
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.
The recoverable amount has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board of Directors for the forthcoming year and forecasts for
up to five years which are based on assumptions of the business, industry and economic growth. Cash flows beyond
this period are extrapolated using terminal growth rates, which do not exceed the expected long-term economic
growth rate.
The key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:

The discount rates used are post-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant companies. The growth rate is
used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period. The growth rates were consistent with publicly available
information relating to long-term average growth rates for each of the markets in which the cash-generating units
operate.
For The Prepaid Company Proprietary Limited, Blue Label Connect Proprietary Limited, Blue Label Distribution
Proprietary Limited, TicketPros Proprietary Limited, Cellfind Proprietary Limited and Panacea Mobile Proprietary Limited
if one or more of the inputs were changed to a reasonable possible alternative assumption, there would be no
impairments that would have to be recognised.
For the remaining balances of goodwill, the discount rate used when calculating the value-in-use calculations would
need to be increased by the following amounts before any impairments would need to be recognised:
