ADDITIONAL NOTES
1 SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Subject to the conditions that apply to the right or an option granted, the shareholder would
obtain the shares in exactly the same way as shares issued, if that right or option were to
be exercised.
When there is a redemption by means of the issue of new shares, there is a inflow of funds,
from the new shareholders to the entity.
Items in the statement of cash flows are always shown as gross amounts. The proceeds on the
disposal of property, plant and equipment must be shown separately to the acquisition of
property, plant and equipment. We do not show the net effect of such transactions.
3 RECLASSIFICATION OF LIABILITIES
In order to maintain the classification of long-term liabilities the portion of a long-term loan payable
within the next accounting period is transferred to current liabilities. Such a transfer is only shown
in the statement of financial position and the notes to the financial statements, and is not
reflected on the statement of cash flows.
In some cases an analyst may have only the company’s statement of financial position at his
disposal. As the statement of comprehensive income reflects the profit before taxation, the latter
must be calculated. The starting point for reconstructing profit before taxation, is retained
earnings per the statement of financial position or the statement of changes in equity.
