continued

for the year ended 30 June 2015

1. Accounting policies and presentation of annual financial statements

continued

1.25 New standards and interpretations

continued

At the date of approval of these annual financial statements, certain new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations

to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been early adopted by the group.

Management anticipates that all of the pronouncements will be adopted in the group's accounting policies for the first period

beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that

are expected to be relevant to the group's annual financial statements or those for which the impact has not yet been assessed,

is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material

impact on the group's annual financial statements.

IFRS 5

Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The amendments to IFRS 5 provide guidance on the accounting treatment when an entity reclassifies an asset or disposal group

from being held for sale to being held for distribution and provides guidance on when to cease held-for-distribution accounting.

The effective date of the amendments is for years beginning on or after 1 July 2016.

The group expects to adopt the amendments for the first time in the 2017 annual financial statements and the amendments will

be applied retrospectively, subject to transitional provisions.

The impact of these amendments has not yet been estimated.

IFRS 7

Financial Instruments: Disclosures

The amendments to IFRS 7 provide additional guidance to help entities identify the circumstances under which a servicing

contract is considered to be “continuing involvement” for the purposes of applying certain disclosure requirements in this

standard. The amendments also clarify that the additional disclosure required by recent amendments to IFRS 7 is not specifically

required for all interim periods.

The effective date of the amendments is for years beginning on or after 1 July 2016.

The group expects to adopt the amendments for the first time in the 2017 annual financial statements and the amendments will

be applied retrospectively, subject to transitional provisions.

The impact of these amendments has not yet been estimated.

IFRS 9

Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The

standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39

Financial Instruments: Recognition and

Measurement

to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. The most significant effect regarding the classification

and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the accounting for changes in fair value of a financial liability, designated as at

fair value through profit or loss, attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability.

The requirements in IAS 39 related to the derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities have been incorporated into

the new version of IFRS 9.
