Additional information:
There has been no impairment to goodwill associated with either investment since their acquisition by Crocidura plc.
Neither Oryctolagus plc or Lepus plc have made any share issues since the investment by Crocidura plc.
Crocidura plc uses the proportionate net assets approach for the calculation of non-controlling interests.
Lepus plc has a small number of large customers who are able to obtain very favourable credit terms because of the volumes of animal feeds they purchase. One consequence of this is that Lepus plc has poor liquidity and to assist with this Crocidura made a £30m loan to Lepus shortly after the acquisition date. This loan remains outstanding at the current reporting date (31 December 2021), and has a repayment date of 31 December 2025. It is recorded by Crocidura plc within other non-current assets.
When Oryctolagus plc was acquired due diligence identified that some of its land had a fair value £20m higher than recorded in its books at that date. This land is still owned at the current reporting date.
