Overview
Substantial progress has been made on many fronts in the organisation during the reporting period. Of particular
significance is the updated strategy of the group, which focuses on delivering a high quality and growing income
distribution per share.
The portfolio is coming of age, with substantial developments delivered on time and on budget, and available equity
being deployed into income-generating acquisitions. The release of equity from the financial investment portfolio has
added to the capital required to continue to grow the portfolio.
The quality of the income-generating portfolio, with nearly 80% of passing rent representing A-grade tenants and a
WALT of 12,3 years, ensures the sustainability of earnings and access to long-term funding on attractive terms. The
current low portfolio LTV of 12,4%, and target portfolio LTV of 40%-50%, positions the group to enter a long period of high
earnings per share growth, benefiting from accretive acquisitions and developments.
We aim to achieve our strategy by acquiring carefully selected assets and delivering on development plans, funded
through an optimal mix of increased gearing, recycling of assets and opportune but limited capital raises. As successful
developments generally have a temporary dampening effect on per share distributions, compensated by a substantially
higher contribution to distribution growth in the long-run, we plan to use our reserves to offset this effect to deliver a
smoother distribution growth path to investors.
Distributions
The directors are pleased to propose a final distribution of 2,23 euro cents per share, bringing the distribution for the
year to 4,50 euro cents per share. This represents an increase of 34% on the previous year. Details of the distribution
will follow in due course.
Geographical focus and partnership with Prime Kapital
Asset prices in western Europe have increased in recent years and acquisition opportunities that offer an attractive
return on equity are harder to find. Our focus in western Europe is therefore now on opportunities that can deliver
substantial value through active asset management, development and re-development.
Although assets in central and eastern European ("CEE") markets have also increased in price, attractive opportunities
are still available that are backed by a combination of relatively high initial acquisition yields, substantial growth
prospects and attractive debt terms. Even more appealing is the development market, which is supported by rapidly
expanding purchasing power and, in some cases, sub-optimally designed or undersized existing assets which are ripe
for re-development or displacement.
Accordingly, we have embarked upon expansion into the growing economies of CEE. To facilitate the expansion, we
have partnered with Prime Kapital, a management team with exceptional development, investment and financing
experience in these markets. MAS has invested EUR20 million in return for a 40% equity stake in a development joint
venture, and aims to invest a further EUR200 million in 7,5% preference shares. Good progress has already been made,
with land having been acquired and further pipeline under exclusivity.
Asset class focus
MAS' strategy is to generate sustainable and growing distributable income per share by acquiring, developing and
operating retail, office, industrial and hotel assets. Where exceptional opportunities arise, the group will embark on
mixed-use or residential developments with a view to either generating recurring income, such as leasing the assets to
universities as student campuses, or disposing of the residential component for capital gains once the land is zoned.
Inclusion in the SAPY index of the JSE
The inclusion of MAS in the SAPY index is evidence of the continued growth of the portfolio. This inclusion has
significantly improved the volume and liquidity of the trading in its shares, increasing the pool of potential investors.
Income-generating property
Income-generating property has grown by EUR78,2 million to EUR242,6 million, with the acquisition of the Lehrte property in
late 2015; the completion of the 2 Whitbread hotels and associated retail from phase 1 at New Waverley in February
2016; and the acquisition of the Edeka portfolio 1 at the end of the current financial year. The New Waverley hotels are
trading particularly well, with exceptionally high occupancy levels, as are the retail tenants, which is a positive indicator
for the future lettings and operational success of the next phases of the development.

in August 2016; and the Adagio hotel and associated retail, that is part of Phase 1 at New Waverley and completes
at the end of this calendar year.
The 2016 adjusted portfolio value computation constitutes pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements and has been prepared on the assumptions detailed above in footnotes (1) and (2). KPMG Inc., has provided
a reasonable assurance report on the above information which is available for inspection at the registered
offices of the company.
After year-end we completed the acquisition of the Munich property and the Edeka portfolio 2. The Munich property is
let to Volkswagen, and has the potential to be an exciting redevelopment play in the years to come, but for now we will
benefit from strong income from an excellent covenant. The Edeka portfolio 2, which comprises 20 supermarkets in
north east Germany, also provides strong income returns.
Passing rent will be further enhanced by the completion of the Adagio hotel at New Waverley towards the end of this
calendar year. The evolution of secured passing rent, including the pipeline above, is as follows:
Evolution of rent roll - income-generating property

Rent received 30 June 2016 14 203 699

Edeka portfolio 2 3 849 000
Adagio (excl retail) 1 491 770

The adjusted passing rent computation constitutes pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.
The adjusted passing rent has been derived by including the Munich property rental, Edeka portfolio 2 rental and the
Adagio rental. KPMG Inc., has provided a reasonable assurance report on the above information which is available for
inspection at the registered offices of the company.
In addition to the above, further accretive income-generating assets are expected to be acquired in the coming months,
which will continue to increase the passing rent meaningfully.
Development portfolio
The development portfolio currently comprises: New Waverley Phase 1 (Adagio and associated retail); New Waverley
Phase 2; and the budget hotel component of Langley Park.
Phase 1 of the New Waverley project has progressed particularly well, and is set to deliver the Adagio hotel and
associated retail at the end of this calendar year. Phase 2 is in the final stages of design preparation, in which a number
of attractive occupier and building combinations for the scheme are being considered.
The development portfolio is expected to increase substantially in the coming months as the CEE developments come
on stream.
Land bank
The land bank currently consists of residential elements of the developments at New Waverley, North Street Quarter
and Langley Park. Planning permission is in place at both New Waverley and North Street Quarter, and has been
applied for at Langley Park. The group continues to assess its options in respect of these projects in line with our asset
class focused approached.
Financial investments
Financial investments have been an important category for MAS over the last few years, and one from which the group has
benefitted substantially. The Karoo Fund investment has returned a net gain of EUR28,4 million to the group, and the Sirius
investment a further unrealised EUR9,3 million gain to the year end, in addition to EUR1,7 million received in the form of Sirius
dividends. However, the Karoo Fund redeemed in January, whereby we received a final cash distribution, and an in-specie
distribution of Sirius shares, and we successfully placed 60 million Sirius shares in the market shortly after year-end. The
proceeds of this are being allocated to further accretive income generating and development opportunities.
Debt
Loan to value levels have been very low in recent years, as the group has embarked upon initially investing the cash on
the balance sheet. Now that the equity has been spent, the gearing programme is in full swing, which should see the
loan to value levels approach 35-40% by the end of the next financial year. Subsequent to year end, EUR54,6 million has
been drawn down or firmly committed, and the group has negotiated extensive further facilities that will be drawn
down in the coming months.
Equity
MAS raised EUR38 million in a successful placement of shares in April of this year, and a further EUR32 million in July, shortly
after the year-end. The rationale for these capital raises was to allow MAS to acquire further earnings accretive
pipeline assets that are now under exclusivity.
Financial review
In order to assist the readers of these financial statements to better understand the underlying income-generating
capability of the business, management accounts have been included together with these results. These management
accounts proportionately consolidate investees in which the group exhibits significant influence. As a result, particular
line items in the distribution income statement and summarised statement of financial position will differ from those
reported under IFRS. In addition, the management accounts classify items of income and expense as direct and indirect
investment result. The direct result represents the underlying distributable earnings generated by the portfolio.
The UK's Brexit vote occurred on 23 June, just being a week before year-end. Consequently, the sterling collapsed against the
euro, resulting in foreign exchange losses being incurred by the group. The key driver of these exchange differences
is the depreciation in euro terms of the investment property held in sterling. As the group takes a basket-of-currencies
approach and does not hedge between sterling, Swiss franc and the base currency, euro, such exchange differences do
not relate to the underlying operations of the business and are therefore excluded from the computation of
distributable earnings. However, underlying gearing in local currencies mitigates the effects of currency movements on
the capital base. As the euro-denominated capital exposure continues to grow as a percentage of the overall portfolio,
we would expect the exposure of currency movements to reduce further.
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS
Purpose and basis of preparation
In order to provide information of relevance to investors and a meaningful basis of comparison for users of the financial
information, unaudited management accounts have been prepared and presented below, in conjunction with condensed preliminary
consolidated financial statements set out below. The directors consider that the management accounts better reflects performance
of the group. In terms of section 8.15 of the JSE Listings Requirements, the management accounts constitutes pro forma financial
information and the company is therefore required to comply with the requirements of sections 8.16 to 8.34 of the Listings
Requirements on Pro forma Financial Information, revised and issued in September 2014.
The management accounts diverge from IFRS as they account for associates using the proportionate consolidation method,
as opposed to the equity accounting method embodied in the condensed preliminary consolidated financial statements
in accordance with IFRS.
Director's responsibility
The preparation of the management accounts is the sole responsibility of the directors and has been prepared in accordance with
the basis stated above, for illustrative purposes only, to show the impact on the distribution income statement and the summarised
statement of financial position. Due to their nature, the management accounts may not fairly present the results of the group and
the financial position. KPMG Inc. has provided a reasonable assurance report on the management accounts which is available for
inspection at the head office of the company.

distributable earnings, upon which the level of distribution is based. In the prior year the difference between the
core income methodology used and the updated direct investment result methodology amounts to EUR81 932. This has
been included in other specific adjustments to reconcile the distributable earnings to core income in the previous year.
Outlook
The 2016 results have resulted in a substantially increased distribution per share for the year. Importantly, the group is
now in the final stages of completing its initial portfolio construction, and shareholders will start to benefit from the
effects of an efficiently invested, and optimally geared, portfolio. The board is confident that the group is well
positioned for strong distribution per share growth in the reporting periods to follow. Whilst remaining vigilant
towards movements in our investment markets, we are excited at the prospect of our expansion strategy, and the
performance that this will generate in the years to come.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
These condensed preliminary consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the JSE Listings Requirements,
LuxSE rules and regulations and applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the BVI Companies Act 2004.
These condensed preliminary consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required by a
complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events
and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the group's financial position and
performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2015.
Reclassification
In the current year the group has classified some items in the consolidated statement of financial position,
the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and the consolidated statement of cash flows differently to the
prior year. To aid comparability the prior year comparatives have been restated, see note 16.
New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Below is a summary of amendments/improvements to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective
and were not early adopted:
Amendments/improvements to standards and interpretations not IASB effective for annual periods
yet effective beginning on or after
Disclosure initiative (Amendments to IAS 7) 1 January 2017
Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses 1 January 2017

(Amendments to IFRS 2)
IFRS 16 Leases 1 January 2019
The directors have not yet assessed the impact of adopting these standards and interpretations.
2. General and significant accounting policies
Other than as outlined below, the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed preliminary
consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.
The following new accounting policy has been applied in the period:
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly
probable that they will be recovered primarily through their sale rather than through continuing use, and the
following criteria are met:
- Management is committed to a plan to sell;
- The asset is available for immediate sale and an active programme to locate a buyer is initiated;
- The sale is highly probable, within 12 months of classification as held for sale;
- The asset is being actively marketed for a reasonable sale price in relation to its fair value; and
- Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed
or withdrawn.
Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell. However, the measurement provisions of IFRS 5: Non current assets held for sale and discontinued
operations do not apply to investment property, which continues to be measured at fair value in accordance with
groups accounting policy for investment property.
3. Fair value adjustments

* Fair value adjustments disclosed in the prior year as Treasury investments have been reclassified to Fair value of
financial investments and are included within Sirius to aid comparability with the classifications in the current
year, see notes 8 and 16.
4. Exchange differences
Exchange gains and losses arise from the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities. It is not the policy of the
group to hedge currencies held between euro, sterling and Swiss franc. As a result, exchange differences arise
predominantly from the intra-group loans of foreign operations. In the current year, this totalled a loss of
EUR12 913 210 (2015: EUR17 660 295 gain).
5. Taxation
The group's current taxation charge and deferred taxation is as follows:

Impairment
The group's recoverable amounts of its CGU's are determined to be value in use as it is greater than fair value less
costs to sell.
New Waverley 10 Limited
No impairment charge arose as a result of the group's annual impairment test of goodwill in relation to New
Waverley 10 Limited (2015: EURnil).
The recoverable amount of the New Waverley 10 Limited CGU has been determined based upon independent
external third party valuation for the element of the site in an advanced stage of construction and development
appraisals from the group's quantity surveyors for elements of the site which are still in the process of being finalised.
Management has determined that a reasonably possible change to the key assumptions would not result in an
impairment.
MAS Prop
No impairment charge arose as a result of the group's annual impairment test of goodwill in relation to MAS Prop (2015: EURnil).
The recoverable amount of the MAS Prop CGU was based on the value in use, as determined
using a discounted cash flow. The cash flow was forecast for a period of 8 years (2015: 9 years), which is the
remaining term of the investment advisory agreement. Budgeted EBITDA was based on expectations of future
outcomes taking into account past experience adjusted for anticipated net asset growth of the group and
increases in operating expenses.
The following key assumptions were used in the impairment assessment:
As at As at
Inputs 30 June 2016 30 June 2015
Pre-tax discount rate 6,68% 7,51%
Annual increase in revenue 7,00% - 11,00% 5,00% - 6,00%
Annual increase in operating expenses 4,00% - 6,00% 5,00%
Budgeted period 8 years 9 years
No cash flows have been assumed beyond the budgeted period, and accordingly no growth is assumed beyond
the forecast period. Management has determined that a reasonably possible change to the key assumptions
would not result in an impairment.
7. Investment property
The group's investment property comprises income-generating property, development property and land bank:
Segment Detail
Income-generating property Property that is currently producing income and held for the purpose of
earning a yield. There may be further asset management angles on these
properties, which could further enhance income returns.
Development property Property that is being developed in order to create income producing
property held for the purpose of earning a better yield than by acquiring
standing property.
Land bank Land plots held for schemes that have not yet commenced, and residential
developments.

Reconciliation of investment property
The group’s investment property is measured at fair value, where fair value cannot be determined reliably as a result of a development being
in the early stages, but the group expects that the fair value will be reliably determinable when construction is further progressed, the group
measures such properties at cost less impairment until such point in time that the fair value becomes reliably determinable. Investment property
is situated in three jurisdictions (UK, Germany and Switzerland). The group has an investment in an associate in CEE through partners Prime Kapital.
This has been included within Investments in equity accounted investees, see note 9.

* Treasury investments as disclosed in the prior year have been reclassified to Financial investments and are
included within Sirius (current) to aid comparability with the classifications in the current year, see note 16 and
the reconciliation below.
Financial investments have been classified as FVTPL because the contractual terms of the financial assets do not
give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding.
On 28 August 2015 and 26 October 2015 the Karoo Fund compulsorily redeemed a portion of the investment
amounting to EUR12 410 441 and EUR25 388 994 respectively. On 31 January 2016 the group's remaining shares in the
Karoo Fund were compulsorily redeemed. The group received an in-specie redemption of 64 540 371
(EUR29 834 661) shares in Sirius and EUR2 577 304 cash in exchange for the group's share of the Karoo Fund's net
asset value at 31 January 2016. The final redemption triggered the settlement of the Attacq financial liability, see
note 12.
During the year the group recognised EUR1 717 829 (2015: EURnil) in dividends from the investment in Sirius. The
group owned 12,8% of Sirius shares at 30 June 2016. On 12 August 2016 the group sold 60 000 000 shares in
Sirius for EUR29 282 323. As a result, the group's shareholding in Sirius decreased to 4,3%, see note 17.

On 23 March 2016, the group invested EUR20 000 000 in the ordinary shares of PKM a development property
company with its principal place of business in CEE. PKM is an associate in which the
group has a 40% ownership interest. PKM is a separate entity and the group has a residual interest in the net
assets of the associate.
In addition to the investment in the ordinary shares, the group intends to fund a further EUR200 000 000 over
4 years through the investment in 7,5% preference shares, see note 17.

The carrying amount of the group's interest bearing borrowings was as follows:
As at As at
Euro 30 June 2016 30 June 2015

Interest bearing borrowings are held at amortised cost, accordingly interest is charged to profit or loss at the
effective interest rate. These liabilities have been classified as amortised cost because the group does not hold
them for trading purposes.

Development management fee and priority participating profit dividend
These financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL. This reduces the accounting mismatch by matching the
movement in the fair value of the financial liabilities with the fair value movement on the related investment
directly in profit or loss.
The group entered into a development management agreement with the developer under which the developer
provides services in procuring the construction of the New Waverley site in Edinburgh. Under the terms of this
agreement, a fee is payable to the developer for its services with that fee being in two parts. Under the terms of
a shareholders' agreement between the shareholders of New Waverley 10 Limited, shareholders are entitled to a 7,5%
annualised return on invested capital. The first part of the fee payable to the developer is an amount equal to
1/3rd of the annualised return payable to the group. The second part of the fee payable to the developer is linked
to the value of the site following development with the developer entitled to a fee broadly equal to 25% of the
value of the developed site less both costs of development and the annualised return to shareholders on
invested capital. This second part of the fee is only payable once the group has received its return on capital
meaning that, in effect, the developer will receive a fee broadly equal to 25% of any capital gain that will be made
should New Waverley 10 Limited ever decide to realise its investment in the site.
Attacq financial liability
This financial liability was classified as FVTPL by electing to use the fair value option. This reduces the accounting
mismatch by matching the movement in the fair value of the liability with the fair value movement in investment
property.
During the year, the group's remaining shares in the Karoo Fund were redeemed, see note 8. The final
redemption triggered the settlement of the financial liability to Attacq, from whom the group acquired the
investment through the issuance of MAS shares. Under the purchase agreement, 21 317 449 shares were issued
on 11 March 2016 at EUR1,3208 per share in settlement of the Attacq financial liability, see note 10.
Santon Financial liability
The terms of the revenue agreement with Santon require the group to pay Santon GBP2 750 000 (approx EUR3 327 225)
on receipt of implementable planning permission. On 10 December 2015 the South Downs National Park
Authority's planning committee approved in principle the plans to develop the North Street Quarter
development in Lewes. Final uncontested written planning permission was granted on 8 July 2016 and the
liability was settled, see note 18.
13. Operating segments
The group's chief operating decision maker is determined to be the executive management team. During the year
the segmentation to monitor group performance was refined. Performance is now considered as follows:
Reportable segment Description
Income-generating property Property that is currently producing income and held for
the purpose of earning a yield. There may be further
asset management angles on these properties, which
could further enhance income returns.
Development property Property that is being developed in order to create
income producing property held for the purpose of
earning a better yield than by acquiring standing
property.
Land bank and other strategic assets Land plots held for schemes that have not yet
commenced, residential developments and real estate
equity investments.
Corporate Consists of the cash holdings outside of the other
reporting segments and goodwill on the acquisition of
MAS Prop.
The comparative period has been restated to aid comparability with segmental reporting in the current year.
The executive management team analyses the performance and position of the group by aggregating the group
into the four reportable segments. These reportable segments have different risk profiles and generate
revenue/income from different sources, accordingly, it allows the executive management team to make better
informed strategic decisions for the group. Management reports are prepared and reviewed on a quarterly basis
by the executive management team to facilitate this process.

100% owned subsidiary. Prior to the acquisition MAS Prop was owned by a group of investors of which Lukas
Nakos and Malcolm Levy, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the group respectively, had
significant influence.
Artisan
Artisan is a real estate management company and is owned by a group of investors of which Lukas Nakos and
Malcolm Levy, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the group respectively have significant
influence. In this context significant influence refers to the fact that Lukas Nakos and Malcolm Levy are directors
of Salt Properties Limited, which owns 33,33% of Artisan, and that 2Fireflies Capital Inc, which is associated with
Malcolm Levy, is a shareholder of Salt Properties.
The board of Artisan comprises five directors, three of which are common to MAS, being Jaco Jansen, Malcolm
Levy and Pierre Goosen.
NW Advisers
NW Advisers is a real estate developer and is a 100% owned subsidiary of NW Holdings which is a 60% owned
subsidiary of Artisan, as such is controlled by Artisan which is a related party of the group.
During the year NW Advisers on-charged expenses in relation to the development of New Waverley which
amounted to EUR27 117 356 (2015: EUR19 605 967). These have been capitalised as part of the New Waverley
development within investment property, see note 7. These on-charges were charged to the group in accordance
with the development management agreement and are on an arm's length basis.
In addition, the group has provided for a development management fee of EUR2 367 448 (2015: EUR1 576 779) as a
result of the revaluation of the three pre-let hotels at the New Waverley development, see note 12. This fee is in
accordance with the development management agreement and is on an arm's length basis.

NW Holdings is a real estate developer and is a 60% owned subsidiary of Artisan. As such it is controlled by
Artisan which is a related party of the group.
At the reporting date the group has provided for a development management priority participation fee of EURnil
(2015: EUR2 365 168) as a result of the revaluation of the three pre-let hotels at the New Waverley development
(see note 12). This fee is in accordance with the development management agreement and is on an arm's length basis.
Corona
Corona is a real estate management company with seven staff, and is owned by Jonathan Knight as the sole
shareholder. Jonathan is also chief investment officer of the group.
During the year, the group used the professional services of Corona and incurred expenses of EUR850 180 (2015:

profit or loss within investment expenses and service charge and other property operating expenses.
Attacq
Attacq is a significant shareholder in the company and has significant influence over the group.
On 30 November 2015 the group entered into a short-term loan agreement with Attacq. The group provided for
EUR18 920 000 over a maximum term of 3 months and a minimum term of 1 month with early repayment permitted
thereafter without penalty, subject to interest of 8% per annum. The group took two forms of security, firstly the
amount payable to Attacq under the Karoo transaction of EUR29 112 780; and Attacq's shares in the company
owning Nova Aventis (Stenham European Shopping Centre Fund (Guernsey) to the value of EUR22 931 521). The
loan was repaid in full on 29 February 2016. Interest of EUR383 263 (2015: EURnil) was received on the loan.
The short-term loan receivable was classified as a financial asset at amortised cost. Accordingly on initial
recognition it was recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
The group purchased the Karoo Fund from Attacq in 2013 for an all-share consideration of EUR34 199 731. Under
the purchase agreement of the Karoo Fund, Attacq was entitled to a contingent adjustment (the "Adjustment") in
the consideration paid to it by the group. This contingent adjustment was dependent upon the value at which the
Karoo Fund redeemed. On 31 January 2016 the group's remaining shares in the Karoo Fund were redeemed. The
group received an in-specie redemption of 64 540 371 shares in Sirius and EUR2 577 304 cash in exchange for EUR32 411 907
being the group's share of the Karoo Fund's net asset value at 31 January 2016. The final redemption
triggered the settlement of the Attacq financial liability, see note 12, from whom the group acquired the
investment, through the issuance of MAS shares. Under the purchase agreement the MAS adjustment shares
were issued at a price per share equal to the 30-day volume weighted average price of MAS shares at each point
the Karoo Fund was realised. Accordingly, 21 317 449 shares were issued to Attacq in settlement of the Attacq
financial liability.

The JSE Listings Requirements require the calculation of headline earnings and diluted headline earnings per
share and the disclosure of a detailed reconciliation of headline earnings to the earnings numbers used in the
calculation of basic earnings per share, as required by IAS 33 – Earnings per Share. Disclosure of headline
earnings is not an IFRS requirement. The directors do not use headline earnings or headline earnings per share in
their analysis of the group's performance, and do not consider it to be a useful or relevant metric for the group.
The directors make no reference to headline earnings or headline earnings per share in their commentaries,
instead, the directors use distributable earnings as a measure.
16. Reclassification
The group has reclassified some prior year expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and some
items in the consolidated statement of financial position disclosed in the prior year consolidated financial
statements to aid comparability with the classifications in the current year.
There is no impact of the reclassifications on the prior year profit. The impact of the reclassification on the
consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of financial position and the
consolidated statement of cash flows is as follows:
