Its fair value at the date Staunton was acquired was €7 million and y 31 March 2018 this had risen to €8.5 million. The group valuation policy for the development of land is that it should be carried at fair value and not depreciated.

2. Also at the date of Staunton’s acquisition, the plant and equipment included a plant that had a fair value of €4 million in excess of its carrying amount. This plant had a remaining life of 5 years at that date. The group calculates depreciation on a straight-line basis.
