Notes:

1. There is no specific requirement to show the reporting entity”s share of profits/comprehensive income from material joint ventures but we consider that it is necessary to comply with the overall objective of the disclosures

2. IFRS 12 is silent as to whether the disclosed profit figure should be gross or net of tax. We have used ‘net’ in the example.

3. The goodwill disclosed in the summarised financial information is the reporting entity”s goodwill only.
