    Depends on probability – gteater than 50%, calculate probable amount and include it. Only possible, exclude – and amend calculations when probability resolved

    Mike is this treatment (from 2010) still valid?

    If the deemed probable consideration turns out to be different is goodwill recalculated?

    Whooah! I hadn’t spotted that this was so old even though you actually spelled it out for me :-(((

    Contingent consideration IS included as a liability in the calculation of goodwill as at date of acquisition.

    If / when the contingency becomes more clear / probable and there is a better idea of the value of the liability (if any) there is no recalculation of the goodwill. Any adjustment goes through statement of profit or loss

    OK?
