The initial Goodwill cost of £600,000 is payable over a maximum of 6 years, from 1st April 2021, without interest, to former partners of the accounting practice, and could be reduced in the event of future Partnership Profits being less than anticipated. The further Goodwill of £574,577, the interest of the deceased Partner, became payable as to £343, 433 in April 2024 and a further £231,144 is due in September 2025. The remaining Partner's interest in the LLP is to be purchased on terms yet to be fully agreed, but his Capital and Loan Accounts of £350,000 were acquired in the current year. His Goodwill has been estimated at £536,00 payable 50% on 31/3/26 and 50% on 31/3/27 . The LLP discloses in its Accounts total Mambers' Capital of £2,925,397 , with £2,734,740 attributable to the Company. the LLP classifies this Capital as £100,000 Equity and the balance as an Unsecured Liability. The Directors intend to review the Goodwill accounting policy as applied to the Company's accounts for the four years ended 31st March 2025, once the Goodwill acquisition is complete, including the acquisition of the remaining Equity Partner's interests, or there being arrangements in place for appropriate alternative acquisitor(s) to complete the purchase. The Directors consider that when applied, amortisation to write off the asset over 20 years to be the appropriate policy. If this policy were applied from the time of the initial acquisition, a charge of £30,000 would apply for the three years to 31 March 2024 and approximately £58,700 for the year to 31 March 2025, a total of £148,700. Once the final acquisition annual amortisation is expected at £85,000 per annum. The Goodwill acquisition was initially for a 50% entitlement to profits of the LLP. This was subsequently adjusted to 40% on the introduction of a further profit sharing partner. The Directors did not expect any reduction in its profit entitlement and therefore considered it did not affect the value of the acquired Goodwill. The Accounting Policy for Goodwill, either as currently in place or an alternative, does not have any effect on the Company's Corporation Tax liability.

10.
Capital commitments
The Company is committed to acquire the remaining 20% interest in the LLP, but anticipated that this would be taken up in full or part by new Equity Partners of the LLP, with the Company assisting with the financing thereof, if and as required. This position, although still desirable is less achievable following the death of the Partner who was due to remain with the LLP the longest. If this position is not achieved before the retirement of the remaining partner, the Company's arrangements with White Rock Capital Limited will be extended for a greater loan, possibly with participation in the profits which emanate from the LLP.
