At the balance sheet date, the Group has tax losses of approximately $103,604,000 (2014:
$99,672,000) that are available for offset against future taxable profits of the companies in which
the losses arose, for which no deferred tax asset is recognised due to uncertainty of its recoverability.
The use of these tax losses is subject to the agreement of the tax authorities and compliance with
certain provisions of the tax legislation of the respective countries in which the companies operate.
Tax consequences of proposed dividends
There are no income tax consequences attached to the dividends to the shareholders proposed by
