DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NOTE 18 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In December 2024, the Group halted the operations of E-Squared Education Enterprises (Pty) Ltd (“E-Squared”) and its subsidiaries following issues identified during an internal investigation initiated in the third quarter of 2024 in response to a whistleblower complaint. As part of this process, the directors of E-Squared and its subsidiaries resigned in December 2024 and the Group determined that the operations of these entities would cease.

 

In January 2025, the Company commenced the process to liquidate E-Squared and its subsidiaries in accordance with applicable legal requirements. As such, the Group has lost controls over ESQ due to commencement of liquidation proceedings.

 

Accordingly, the financial results of E-Squared and its subsidiaries have been presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities associated with these entities have been derecognized as part of the liquidation process.

 

The comparative figures in the consolidated statement of profit or loss have been re-presented to reflect the results of E-Squared and its subsidiaries as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

 

Analysis of the results of discontinued operations and the impact of the liquidation are presented below.
