Disposal of Non-Core Assets
As part of the execution of our strategy the potential for each business unit has been reviewed. This review identified three non-core components of the group:
-
Aarque, a New Zealand supplier of printing equipment with limited growth and sales of $23 million in 2011; and
-
the small shareholdings in Amcla and Safilo.
In October we disposed of Amcla for its book value of $0.5 million. Today we have sold Aarque for its book value of $3.9 million. Discussions are ongoing to sell our holding in Safilo.
These disposals form part of the strategy to focus on the growth areas within HGL.
