PS&C undertakes impairment testing of the relevant businesses as required. Impairment testing was performed at 30 June 2017 to support the carrying value of goodwill. The recoverable amount was based on its value in use, determined by discounting future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the business. Management's determination of cash flow projections and gross margins are based on past performance and its expectation for the future. The present value of future cash flows has been calculated using projected cashflows approved by the board covering year 1. The present value of future cash flows for years 2 to 5 have been calculated using a terminal growth rate of 3% (2016: 3%) and a discount rate of 12% (2016: 9.4%) has been used to determine value in use. In addition, average EBITDA growth rates used for years 2 to 5 were:

People: 7% Security: 6% Communications: 6%

The estimated recoverable amount exceeded/(did not exceed) the carrying value for each CGU by the following amounts:
