2.2 Disposals in consolidated financial statements

If a share sale causes control over a subsidiary to be lost, the accounting
treatment is as follows:

 Consolidate incomes and expenses pro-rated up to the disposal date

 Calculate a profit or loss on disposal

 Recognise any remaining shares at fair value and then account for them using
the appropriate accounting standard (e.g. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or IAS
28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures).

The profit or loss on disposal is calculated as follows:
