5 Underlying profit is used to provide a better understanding of the Astro Group's financial performance and comparison of performance between the different financial periods. It is a non-IFRS measure which adjusts the balances that are unrelated to the underlying performance of the business to reflect the Directors' assessment of the Astro Group's underlying business activities having regard to the guidance from ASIC's RG 230 Disclosing Non-IFRS information. These principles include providing a clear reconciliation between statutory profit and underlying profit in the Directors' Report, including both positive and negative adjustments and maintaining consistency between reporting periods. The adjustments include non- cash fair value movements within the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (representing investments in the TKs), and are detailed in the segment reporting disclosure in Note 1. The adjustments between statutory profit after income tax and underlying profit have not been audited in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
6 All items below are included in the underlying TKs' fair value determination as set out in Note 1 Segment reporting.
