Notes to the Financial Statements
8.2 | Non-Current Asset Held for Sale s Discontinued Operations |
The Group's investment in Hatton National Bank PLC [HNB], previously classified as an equity-accounted investee in accordance with LKAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, has been reclassified as a non-current asset held for sale in line with the requirements of SLFRS 5 - Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. | |
Following a strategic review, the Group's Investment Committee resolved to divest certain non-core long-term listed equity investments.As of the balance sheet date, the Group had initiated an active plan to sell the investment, including engagement with potential buyers. Subsequently, on 27th May 2025, the Group disposed of 45,529,624 listed ordinary voting shares of HNB, representing 9.99% of HNB's issued voting share capital. |
Accordingly, the Group has assessed the investment under SLFRS 5 and determined that the criteria for classification as a non-current asset held for sale have been met. As required, the investment was remeasured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, resulting in a fair value loss of LKR 17.5 billion, which has been recognized in the income statement under "Fair value Gain/(Loss) on Non-Current Assets Held for Sale."
In accordance with SLFRS 5, both the current year and prior comparative period results relating to the investment in HNB (including the share of profit from the equity-accounted investee, net of tax) have been separately presented as part of discontinued operations in the Income Statement, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flows of both the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements of Browns Investments PLC.
