Continuing and discontinued operations

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

As described on page 8 the Group plans to dispose of its Insurance business. The Group expects that the fair value less cost to sell the business will be higher than the aggregate carrying amount of the related assets and liabilities. Therefore, no impairment loss was recognised either on the reclassification of the assets and liabilities as held for sale or at 30 June 2015.

The results of the Insurance businesses are presented in the statement of profit or loss as discontinued operations. The comparative profit or loss has been re-presented accordingly. The assets and related liabilities of the Insurance business has been reclassified to ‘Assets classified as held for sale’ and ‘Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale’ respectively on the statement of financial position.

The following table shows the combined results of the continuing and discontinued operations after eliminating inter-group transactions.
