Notes to the company financial statements
for the year ended 31 March 2006  
 
 
 
 
12. Adoption of IFRS
  In line with the group’s accounting, the company has adopted IFRS in the preparation of these financial statements. The only change resulting from the IFRS adoption is in respect of the recognition of the profit arising from the restructuring of the South African group at the time of the implementation of the Black Economic Empowerment shareholding transaction.

Under IFRS the full profit of R2 710 million arising from this transaction is recognised on transaction date. The effect is therefore an increase to equity at 31 March 2004 and the recognition of the redeemable C shares and group company loan at that date. Previously, the profit was being recognised on an earn-out basis.
