Notes on segment information

Business segments

Effective quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company reorganized its segments, consequent to which the business segments of the Company are as set out above. The previous period figures, extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements, have been presented after incorporating necessary reclassification adjustments pursuant to changes in the reportable segments.

Segmental capital employed

Assets and liabilities used in the Company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
