The contribution of Shariah non-compliant activities to the Group’s profit before tax had exceeded the required 5% threshold based on its audited results as at 31 December 2014. However, based on the unaudited results as at 30 June 2015, Eversendai has already complied with the said 5% threshold and targets to be reclassified as a Shariah-Compliant counter in SC’s next review.
