The
non-recurring restructuring costs resulted
from the review of the International Risk
Services business in the 2005 financial
year. Included in these costs was a provision
for historical lease issues of R57 million.
The group negotiated the early settlement
of a lease over previously unoccupied premises
in the current year resulting in an R18
million release of the onerous lease provision.
There was a net R4 million charge in the
current year relating to other provisions
made in the previous year. |
