NOTES TO THE GROUP ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – NOTE 5

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
 

The Group’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have restructured the operating segments due to the purchase of the new WAD healthcare assets in the prior financial year. The operating segments identified are examined from a service perspective (total healthcare vs information technology) and geographical perspective (South Africa vs Africa). The geographical segments identified include all businesses outside of South Africa which include Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia, Kenya, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Individually, each business outside of South Africa is not material hence management has taken the decision to disclose all business outside of South Africa as a separate operating segment. All segments have been disclosed according to what the Chief Operating Decision-Maker reviews.

Nature of business segments:

  • Healthcare SA – consists of medical scheme administration and health risk management services in South Africa. Please refer to Note 11 which indicates Medscheme Holdings Proprietary Limited’s summarised financial information.
  • Healthcare Retail – consists of pharmaceutical sales/services from the WAD Healthcare Assets acquisition. These services are rendered in South Africa.
  • Healthcare Africa – consists of all healthcare services outside of South Africa. This includes associate earnings (Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and Mauritius).
  • Information technology – this relates to all IT-related services for the Group predominantly within South Africa.

Correction of error in accounting for interest on conditional financial obligation

Due to an error in the accounting treatment of interest accrued under the conditional put option obligation, the segment profit and loss of the Healthcare SA segment for the year ended June 2016 were overstated by R24.960 million.

The error has been corrected by restating each of the affected segment information line items for the prior year, as described above.

Further information on the error is set out in Note 39.
