HMV Group PLC Interim Results -10-

13/12/2012 7:00am

UK Regulatory


On 7 August 2012 the Group completed the sale of Hammersmith Apollo Limited ('HAL'), the company which owns and operates the Hammersmith Apollo, to Stage C Limited for a total cash consideration of GBP32.0m. The disposal was conditional upon shareholder approval, banking approvals and the purchaser securing regulatory approvals, all of which conditions were satisfied prior to completion. The company was sold on a cash-free, debt-free basis, except for the inclusion of certain advance ticket receipt monies. Transaction costs incurred by the Group totalled GBP3.0m. The result reported below is provisional, subject to final agreement of the completion balance sheet which is expected to be finalised in the second half of the year.

The Board remains committed to the sale of the remainder of the HMV Live division, which is classified as a disposal group held for sale and as a discontinued operation. An impairment charge of GBP10.4m has been recognised on the remeasurement of the disposal group to fair value less costs to sell.

On 11 June 2012 the Group sold is stake in its associate, aNobii Limited, to J Sainsbury's plc for GBP1.

In the prior year, the Group disposed of HMV Canada for GBP2.0m and the Waterstone's group of companies for GBP53.0m. The results of these businesses are included in the comparative information as discontinued operations.

The results of the discontinued operations are as follows:
