All retail divisions within the group operate in an established retail market and are therefore considered to be subject to similar risks and rewards.

Segment revenue and expenses
Revenue and expenses that are directly attributable to segments are allocated to those segments.

Those that are not directly attributable to segments are allocated on a reasonable basis.

Segment assets and liabilities
Segment assets include all operating assets used by a segment and consist principally of operating cash, receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment, net of related allowances and accumulated impairments.

While most such assets can be directly attributable to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment liabilities include all operating liabilities, and consist principally of trade payables, salaries and accruals.

Inter-segment transfers
Segment revenue, segment expenses and segment result include transfers between segments.

These transfers occur at market prices and are eliminated on consolidation.
