Goodwill is tested for impairment at the operating segment level, this being the level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. As detailed in Note 6, the Group does not have multiple operating segments and is engaged in a single business activity of pharmaceuticals.

Recoverable amount is determined on a fair value less costs to sell basis using the market value of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares. Our market capitalisation is compared to the book value of the Group’s net assets and this indicates a significant surplus at 31 December 2022 (and 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020). No goodwill impairment was identified.
