There were no other impairment charges or items requiring reclassification. The holding in Niche was sold for $50 million on 31 March 2015 and the
gain on sale in Kutchen’s financial statements is currently recorded in other components of equity. The carrying value of Niche’s identifiable net assets other than goodwill was $60 million at the date of sale. Kutchen had carried the investment in Niche at cost
