In addition, the statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity has also been affected by the aforementioned
changes to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as follows:
1. Statement of financial position – the decrease in total profit of R84 632 000 has lead to a decrease in retained
income of R84 641 000 and an increase in reserves of R84 632 000, the net effect being a decrease in total equity
balance to R7 165 706 000 from R7 165 720 000 and an increase in total liabilities to R2 663 460 000 from
R2 663 449 000.
2. Statement of changes in equity - reserves have now increased by R84 632 000 and retained income has decreased
by R84 641 000. The total reserves and retained income balances are now R18 461 000 and R3 074 942 000
respectively. Equity attributable to parent shareholders is now R7 060 621 000 and total equity is now
R7 165 720 000.
The reasons for the above changes are the following:
1. The owner-occupied hotel devaluation for the current year was in excess of past revaluation profit amounts recognised
in Other Comprehensive Income. This impairment resulted in negative equity values which is now recognised in profit
or loss of R93 million and a tax reduction of R8.9 million.
2. Expected credit loss allowance of R72 million was taken out of Operating Expenses in line with IFRS required disclosure
as a separate item on the face of the Statement of Profit or Loss.
3. The remainder relates to allocation matters finalised during the finalisation of the audit, mostly between investment
income and finance costs and an expense item offsetting against other income of R1.5 million.
