3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES
AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reporting amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require
a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date. that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of income and expenses. assets and liabilities within the
next financial year. are discussed below.
3.1 EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The expense is determined by using the market value, as traded on the OTC-market, of the shares on grant date, adjusted
with the present value of dividends not entitled to. The share-based payment expense will be recognised over the vesting
period. The vesting period includes the employment conditions and performance conditions (not market related) attached
to an award. The expense will therefore be recognised, with corresponding increase in capital reserves in equity, and spread
over the period from the grant date to the vesting date. The length of this period will vary from tranche to tranche. The
accumulated expense recognised is the group’s best estimate of the number of shares which will ultimately vest.
3.2 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived
from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs
to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement
is required in establishing fair values. The judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and
volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. The key
assumptions used for estimating the fair value of financial instruments are disclosed in note 21.5, Fair value measurements.
3.3 IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Refer to note 11.5 for the detailed framework regarding impairment of financial assets.
For decision framework on loans receivable, refer to note 7.1.2.
3.4 INVENTORY IMPAIRMENT PROVISION
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable values. A provision is raised against inventory according to the nature,
condition and age and net realisable value of inventory. For the carrying value of provision for slow moving inventory refer to
note 10.
Specific factors that could impact the net realisable values of inventory are also considered. These could include:
l Strengthening of the rand against the US dollar;
l Competitor prices;
l Market share; and
l Large volumes of inventory on hand.
3.5 TAXES
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the loss can be utilised. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations,
changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Significant management judgement is required to
determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of taxable future
profits together with future tax planning strategies. For the carrying value of deferred tax, refer to note 18.2.
