6.1 - Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale
This item comprises non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale under IFRS 5.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification
They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single
amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement.
