Disposal of individual properties
As part of the acquisition of Delta Maxi (see Note 4.1), the Group identified a number of properties, mainly small shops, off ice
buildings, pharmacies or bank branches, which it considered not being incremental to its retail operations. At year-end 2011 the
revised carrying value of the assets held for sale amounted to €56 million. During 2012, the Group sold properties for a total
a mount of €17 million. As a result of the weakening real estate market and the deteriorating state of the prope rty for sale, the fair
value less cost to sell of a number of properties decreased during 2012 resulting in impairment losses of €18 million. A s due to
these conditions, a sale within the anticipated timeframe was considered to be no longer feasible, properties for a total net book
value of €7 million have been reclassified to investment property (see Note 9). C onsequently, at December 31, 2012, the
remaining properties held for sale amoun t to €10 million and are part of the Southeastern Europe Asia Se g ment.
In addition, Delhaize America intends to dispose a parcel of land within the next 12 months for €2 million.
