FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLAIMER
The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 6 of this Circular apply mutatis mutandis to this forward-looking statement disclaimer.
This Circular contains statements about the Invicta Group that are or may be forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect current expectations concerning future results and events and may generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe”, “aim”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “likely”, “should”, “planned”, “may”, “estimated”, “potential” or similar words and phrases.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and/ or depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Invicta cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, financial and operating conditions, liquidity and the developments within the industry in which the Invicta Group operates, may differ materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular.
All these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by the Invicta Group, as communicated in publicly available documents by the Invicta Group, all of which estimates and assumptions, although believed by the Invicta Group to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Such estimates, assumptions or statements may not eventuate. Factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include other matters not yet known to the Invicta Group or not currently considered material by the Invicta Group.
Shareholders should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement(s) made in this Circular or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward-looking statement(s) is made, being the Last Practicable Date. New factors that could cause the business of the Invicta Group to not perform as expected may emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all of them. Further, the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forwardlooking statement is not known. The Invicta Group has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular after the date of this Circular, except as may be required by law. Any forward-looking statements have not been reviewed or reported on by the external auditors of Invicta.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted in significant global and local financial market volatility and uncertainty. Although uncertain and unquantified at this stage, continued or worsening levels of market disruption and volatility could have a significant impact on the Invicta Group’s business operations as well as the Invicta Group’s ability to conclude various initiatives. This could result in a material change in the financial or trading position of the Invicta Group.
The Invicta Group have put in place various risk mitigation strategies. Management and the directors cannot accurately predict what the likely future impact of COVID-19 will be on the economy, or on the Invicta Group and its operations.

5.10 Warranties, Indemnities, Interim Undertakings and Restraints
The Disposal Agreement contains certain warranties and indemnities (including tax indemnities) which are normal for a transaction of this nature. Furthermore, Invicta and the Seller have given standard interim undertakings regarding the manner in which the Target Business is conducted. All such warranties, indemnities and undertakings are subject to a mutually agreed limitation of such liability, which is normal for a transaction of this nature.
5.11 Disposal Categorisation and Shareholder Approval
The total consideration measured against the market capitalisation of Invicta results in a percentage ratio of more than 30%. Accordingly, the Disposal is classified as a Category 1 transaction in terms of paragraph 9.5 of the Listings Requirements and requires an ordinary resolution approval by Invicta Shareholders at the General Meeting in terms of paragraph 9.20 of the Listings Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Disposal does not constitute the greater part of the assets or undertaking of Invicta, as contemplated in section 112 of the Companies Act.
The Disposal is not made to a related party and there are accordingly no related party transaction implications in terms of the Listings Requirements.
Invicta would still qualify for listing after implementation of the Disposal with remaining assets of approximately R10 billion and will continue with operations through its existing businesses and divisions as referred to in paragraph 8.
6. FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE DISPOSAL
In terms of the Listings Requirements, a Category 1 transaction requires the disclosure of historical financial information and the pro forma financial information showing the effects of the Disposal and the Specific Issue on the Company’s statement of financial position and consolidated statement of profit and loss.
- 6.1 The pro forma financial information of Invicta is set out in Annexure 1 of this Circular and is presented in accordance with the provisions of the Listings Requirements and the Guide on Pro Forma Financial Information issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. The pro forma financial information, including the assumptions on which it is based and the financial information from which it has been prepared, is the responsibility of the Board.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information is compliant with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the audited annual financial statements of Invicta for the year ended 31 March 2020. It has been assumed, for purposes of the pro forma financial information, that the Disposal took place with effect from 1 April 2019 for the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and as at 31 March 2020 for the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only, to provide information on how the Disposal and Specific Issue may have affected the financial position of Invicta.

IFRS does not provide for the preparation of historical combined financial information of the Target Business, and accordingly in preparing the historical combined financial information of the Target Business certain accounting conventions commonly used in the preparation of historical combined financial information of the Target Business for inclusion in circulars have been applied and consequently some material departures from IFRS have been required, which are discussed in more detail in the Historic Financial Information of the Target Business set out in Annexure 3 of this Circular. In all other respects, IFRS has been applied.

9. INVICTA PROSPECTS
The strategic approach for Invicta for this year entails being nimble and flexible and adapting to changing market and environmental factors. The Board believes that Invicta should constantly adjust its business plan as the year evolves. The focus will be on cash generation, right-sizing its business, reducing inventories, and selling non-core properties. While the COVID19-pandemic appears to be stabilizing, uncertainty continues. From a strategic point of view some of the initiatives being undertaken include the following:
-
Bringing online the BMG e-commerce platform;
-
Oxygen helmet and ventilator projects;
-
Restructuring of the INDUSTRI business; and
-
Reviewing the Kian Ann business model.
Invicta continues to generate good cash flows with the focus being on lower debt levels and cashflow management, which means the strong cash holdings of the Group continue to support its solid financial position.
The medium-term strategy involves identifying suitable acquisitions both locally and internationally, that fit in with the Group’s core competencies in the industrial spare parts and consumables markets.
The performance of Invicta will however in the short term be hampered by the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and in the medium term will be constrained by the structural impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on both markets and companies serviced by the Group. A number of customers have not opened fully despite the country having moved to lockdown level 1 and a number of smaller companies have simply closed shop. Demand for product continues to fluctuate on a daily basis with no clear improving trend. With Invicta being one of the market leaders in the various sectors in which it operates, enquiries and sales continue albeit at lower than historical levels.
The prospects will continue to be determined by both the local and international industrial outlook, as well as how the various related commodity cycles perform. Invicta looks to outperform in real terms from both a growth and earnings perspective the economic metrics of the relevant sectors in which it participates

10.5 Directors’ Interests in the Transactions
Other than as disclosed in this Circular in section 11, the Directors do not have any beneficial interest, whether direct or indirect, in the Transactions nor did they have any material interest in a transaction that was effected by Invicta during;
-
the current or immediately preceding the financial year; or
-
an earlier financial year which remains in any respect outstanding or unperformed.
22
10.6 Material Loans of Invicta and the Target Business
Invicta’s material loans will not change as a result of the Disposal as no firm commitment has been made to utilise the proceeds for any repayments.
An overview of all Invicta’s material loans is set out in Annexure 7 and Invicta’s 2020 integrated annual report available on the Company’s website.
10.7 Material Contracts of Invicta and the Target Business
Save for the material contracts referred to in this Circular in section 1, being the Disposal Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, there are no other material contracts entered into either verbally or in writing by Invicta Group or the Target Business, being restrictive funding arrangements and/or, contracts entered into otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, within the two years prior to the last practicable date or at any time containing an obligation or settlement that is material to the Invicta Group, as at the Last Practicable Date.
10.8 Vendors
There were no material assets acquired or disposed or proposed to be acquired or disposed by the Invicta Group during the three years preceding the last practicable date.
10.9 Material Change in respect of the Invicta Group and the Target Business
After the 2020 year end the South African COVID-19 lockdown, at level 5, was extended by a further two weeks. This was followed by a lift of the lockdown in controlled stages. At the date of this report the country was at level 1. There remains uncertainty regarding the timing to reach full lifting of the lockdown, and the rate of recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation continues to be closely monitored so that the various businesses of both Invicta Group and the Target Business may adapt as necessary to comply with regulations and meet the needs of our customers. Our top priority remains the safety and well-being of our employees.
The operating results of both Invicta Group and the Target Business since year ended 2020 have shown that the corrective actions taken in relation to the pandemic have yielded benefits. Despite revenue still tracking below volumes of the prior year, cost containment measures have ensured that the initial level 5 losses have been recovered. This could result in a material change in the financial or trading position of the Invicta Group.
10.10 Working Capital Statement
Having made due and careful enquiry as to the working capital requirements of the Invicta Group for the twelve months following the date of issue of this Circular, the Board is of the opinion that the working capital of Invicta and its subsidiaries is sufficient for the current requirements of Invicta and will be adequate for at least the next twelve months from the date of issue of this Circular. The Disposal will generate approximately R511 million in freely available cash and a further USD $6 million over a 3 (three) year period, which will be used by Invicta to strengthen its financial position and to reduce its overall existing net debt, thereby contributing positively to the working capital requirements and providing capacity to consider other strategic objectives.
10.11 Litigation Statement
As at the Last Practicable Date, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings, including proceedings that are pending or threatened, of which Invicta is aware, that may have or have had, in the twelvemonth period preceding the date of this Circular, a material effect on the financial position of the Invicta Group and the Target Business.

11. SPECIFIC ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH
11.1 Introduction
Shareholders are referred to SENS and A2X News Service announcement dated 14 August 2020 where they were informed that Invicta has entered into the Subscription Agreement on 13 August 2020 with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Steven Joffe, in terms of which he (or his associate, Sades Holdings (Pty) Ltd of which he is a director, and a trustee and beneficiary of its sole shareholder, the Sades Family Trust) will subscribe for, and the Company will issue, 3 000 000 ordinary shares at a Subscription Price of R8.76 per share, for a total cash investment of R26 280 000. Following the Specific Issue, Steven Joffe will hold 3.04% of the issued ordinary share capital of Invicta.
11.2 Details of the Specific Issue
The Board wishes to undertake the Specific Issue of shares for cash, on the basis that the relevant shares: (i) are issued from a class of securities already in issue, (ii) are issued for cash without any other impact on the financial statements, (iii) the shares to be issued are not convertible and (iv) the Company will not contravene Section 41(1) and (3) of the Companies Act 2008.
The Board confirms the following:
-
The shares will be issued to a related party, and non-public shareholder, as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, being Mr. Steven Joffe, the Group CEO.
-
Subject to the passing of Ordinary Resolution number 2 and Special Resolution Number 1, as set out in the attached Notice of General Meeting, the Company shall have the necessary authorities to issue shares pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act (2008).
-
There are no conversion rights to the shares to be issued for cash.
-
The number of shares to be issued is 3 000 000 (three million) ordinary shares, representing 2.71% of the total issued ordinary share capital as at the Last Practical Date.
-
The shares will be issued at the Subscription Price per share which exceeds the volume weighted average trading price of Invicta Ordinary Shares on the JSE of R6.91 per share, for the 30-Business Day period ended on 12 August 2020, the signature date of Subscription Agreement. The shares are therefore not being issued at a discount as contemplated in paragraph 5.51(f)(ii) of the Requirements.
-
The funds raised are intended to be used for working capital purposes.
-
Approval of the Specific Issue ordinary resolution number 2 and special resolution number 1 will be sought, by achieving a 75% majority of the votes cast in favour of such resolution by (i) all shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting convened to approve the Specific Issue of shares for cash on which any parties and their associates participating in the Specific Issue for cash have not voted or whose votes will not been counted.
25
11.3 Rationale
The Board believes the subscription by Steven Joffe ensures the appropriate alignment of the interests of the CEO with those of the Company and its shareholders. The funds will be used for general corporate purposes without any other impact on the financial statements.
11.4 Conditions precedent
The Specific Issue is subject to the approval and listing of the shares by the JSE, and the approval by shareholders as required in terms of section 41 of the Companies Act, 2008 and paragraph 5.51 (g) of the JSE Listings Requirements. The effective date of the Specific Issue shall be the Business Day following the fulfilment of the above conditions precedent. Steven Joffe and his associates are excluded from voting on the relevant ordinary resolution number 2 and special resolution number 1 as set in the attached Notice of General Meeting.
As the Subscription Price exceeds the volume weighted average trading price of the shares for the 30-Business Day period ended on 12 August 2020, being R6.91 per share, a fairness opinion will not be required per JSE Listings Requirements.

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 7 of this Circular apply, mutatis mutandis , to this Annexure.

The pro forma financial information of Invicta, as set out in this Circular, consists of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2020, the pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year then ended and related notes (together, the “ pro forma financial information”). The pro forma financial information has been prepared to illustrate the financial effects of the Disposal and the Specific Issue on the audited financial information of Invicta on the assumption that the Disposal occurred on 1 April 2019 for the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss purposes and on 31 March 2020 for the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position purposes.

The presentation of the pro forma financial information is in accordance with the Listings Requirements and the Guide on Pro forma Financial Information issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.
There are no other post balance sheet events, which require adjustment in the pro forma financial effects.
The Directors are responsible for the compilation, contents and preparation of the pro forma financial information included in this Circular. Their responsibility includes determining that the pro forma financial information of Invicta has been properly compiled on the basis stated, and that the pro forma adjustments are appropriate for purposes of the pro forma financial information disclosed pursuant to the Listings Requirements.
The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the independent reporting accountant’s assurance report on the compilation of the pro forma financial information as set out in Annexure 2 to this Circular.

Pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss
as at 31 March 2020
Notes and assumptions:
-
Column 1 presents the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income extracted, without adjustment, from the Invicta Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2020.
-
Column 2 presents the historical statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Target Business which has been extracted, without adjustment, from the Special Purpose Historical Carve-Out Financial Information of the Target Business as presented in Annexure 3 to the Circular. This adjustment will have a continuing effect.
-
Column 3 presents the reversal of intercompany transactions between the Target Business and Invicta subsidiaries included in Column 2. This is to ensure that these balances correctly eliminate for the purposes of Column 6. These relate to transactions between the Target Business and Invicta subsidiaries for 1) sales, 2) depreciation on the right of use assets and interest on right of use lease liabilities with regards to the IFRS 16 leases and 3) other income with Invicta subsidiaries which the Target Business will earn after disposal. This adjustment will have a continuing effect.
-
Column 3 presents the recognition of the rental income of R19 million from the Target Business, after disposal, from Immovable Property Leases that prior to the Transaction was eliminated on consolidation. This rental income is taxable for tax purposes. This adjustment will have a continuing effect.
-
Column 3 presents the reversal of the taxation expense which falls within the legal entity of the Seller which held the Target Business. The tax that the Target Business attracted for the year is included in the consolidation of Invicta in Column 1. The taxation liability is not included in sale of the Target Business and therefore taxation has not been included in Column 2. This adjustment will have a continuing effect.
-
Column 4 presents the following:
-
i the Disposal Consideration received from the Transactions is equal to the NAV of the Disposed Target Business, which amounts to approximately R511 million as at 31 March 2020 plus a further consideration of USD $6 million goodwill, being R102 million (undiscounted) when translated into ZAR at an exchange rate R17.06/ USD $1.
-
ii The once-off net gain on the sale of the Target Business is R91 million. This gain is based on the Disposal Consideration relative to the carrying value amounting to R511 million of the Target Business in Invicta’s audited financial results as at 31 March 2020. This will not have a continuing impact.
-
iii The capital gains tax on the transaction is R24 million with a deferred tax asset adjustment of R18 million bringing the total tax on the transaction to R42 million. This adjustment will not have a continuing effect
-
iv Interest amounting to R4 million has been imputed on the amount receivable on the sale of the transaction based on a weighted average Invicta interest rate of 5.89%. This adjustment will have a continuing effect. It has been assumed that the Purchaser will affect payments on the dates set out in the payment terms of the Disposal Agreement.
-
v The financial effects include the R3 million profit on disposal of the Owned Property under the Owned Property Option. It is assumed that the Owned Property Option is exercised by the Purchaser. This adjustment will not have a continuing effect.
-
Column 5 presents the transaction relating to the Specific Issue. This adjustment will not have a continuing effect. The assumptions used in calculating the balances are:
-
i A market price of R10,22 per share; and
-
ii An issue price of R8,76 per share for cash, resulting in a IFRS 2 share-based payment expense of R1,46 per share in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
-
Column 6 presents the financial effects relating to the non-recurring transaction costs, amounting to R2 million, before tax, which relate directly to the Transactions and have been expensed. These transaction costs are deductible for tax purposes. This adjustment will not have a continuing effect.
-
Column 7 presents the pro forma Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income of Invicta subsequent to the transaction.

as at 31 March 2020
Notes and assumptions:
-
Column 1 presents the consolidated statement of financial position extracted, without adjustment, from the Invicta Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2020.
-
Column 2 presents the historical Statement of Financial Position of the Target Business which has been extracted without adjustment from the Special Purpose Historical Carve-Out Financial Information of the Target Business as presented in Annexure [3] to the Circular.
-
Column 3 presents the reversal of intercompany balances between the Target Business and Invicta subsidiaries included in Column 2. This is to ensure that these balances correctly eliminate for the purposes of Column 6. These balances relate to leases which are accounted for as IFRS 16 leases in the Target Business, but at cost in the Invicta consolidation.
-
Column 4 presents the following:
-
i The Disposal Consideration receivable from the Transaction is equal to the NAV of the Target Business, which amounts to approximately R511 million as at 31 March 2020 plus a further consideration of USD $6 million goodwill, which was valued at R17.06/USD $1 being R102 million, undiscounted when translated into ZAR.
-
ii The present value of the USD $5 million of the cash consideration receivable over a 3-year period and the cash portion of R74 million, has been included in Other Financial Assets, and USD $1 million of the cash consideration has been included in cash and cash equivalents.
-
iii The NAV proceeds of R511 million will only be received in installments over a 90-day period after the statement of financial position date and was therefore disclosed as a current Other Financial Asset.
-
iv The capital gains tax on the transaction is R24 million with a deferred tax asset adjustment of R18 million bringing the total tax on the transaction to R42 million.
-
v The financial effects of the disposal of the Owned Property under the Owned Property Option for R4.5 million has been included as cash consideration. It is assumed that the Owned Property Option is exercised by the Purchaser.
-
vi The capital gains tax on the transaction is R24 million with a deferred tax asset adjustment of R18 million bringing the total tax on the transaction to R42 million.
-
Column 5 presents the transaction relating to the Specific Issue. The assumptions used in calculating the balances are:
-
i Cash receipt of R26 million upon share issue;
-
ii A market price of R10,22 per share; and
-
iii An issue price of R8,76 per share for cash, resulting in a IFRS 2 share-based payment expense of R1,46 per share in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
-
Column 6 presents the financial effects relating to the non-recurring transaction costs, amounting to R2 million, before tax, which relate directly to the Transactions and have been expensed. These transaction costs are deductible for tax purposes.
-
Column 7 presents the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of Invicta subsequent to the Transaction.
-
There are no material subsequent events that require adjustments to the pro forma financial information.
-
The settlement of debt has not been committed to and repayments with the use of proceeds remain at the discretion of the company. Furthermore, the purchase consideration will be received on extended payment terms as per the Disposal Agreement. Therefore, no debt repayment adjustment in terms of the SAICA guide on pro forma financial information has been made.

ANNEXURE 3
SPECIAL PURPOSE CARVE-OUT HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET BUSINESS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED 31 MARCH 2020, 2019 AND 2018
The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 7 of this Circular apply, mutatis mutandis , to this Annexure 3.
General information
The carve out operations are included in the South African operations of Invicta, a private company registered in South Africa and comprise of the Target Business.
The special purpose carve-out historical financial information of the Target Business comprises of the Sale Assets and Assumed Liabilities. The special purpose carve-out historical financial information has been derived from the consolidated financial statements of Invicta for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 using historical results of operations, assets and liabilities attributable to the Target Business. Invicta’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The directors have relied on the fact that the special purpose carve-out historical financial information, which has been derived from these consolidated financial statements of Invicta for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and that the Invicta directors are responsible for the compilation of Invicta’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the internal controls as they determined are necessary to enable the preparation and presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements.
The four businesses that are the subject matter of the Disposal comprise the following:
Landboupart – a distributor of replacement spare parts for the agricultural and industrial markets for brands such as Massey Ferguson, Landini, John Deere, Perkins, IH (Melrose) and Carraro. Landboupart supplies a wide range of quality agricultural spare parts ranging from tractor parts, engine parts, filters and drivetrains, to planter parts.
Northmec – a supplier of farming equipment in South Africa, distributing a full range of agricultural machinery, implements and related original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) spare parts for brands such as Case IH, and many other quality internationally known brands. Northmec’s product range includes tractors, mowers, combine harvesters, windrowers, cultivators, grain/corn headers, balers, ploughs and sprayers.
CSE – engaged in the distribution of Case earthmoving and construction equipment, turf-grooming machinery, utility vehicles and related OEM spare parts. CSE specialises in distributing, inter alia , Case and Dynapac branded equipment, including tractor loader backhoes, skid steer loaders, tele-handlers, crawler excavators, front end loaders and graders.
NHSA – NHSA is a supplier of OEM and Non-OEM spare parts for brands such as Fiat, Ford, Braud, Carraro and NewPart. NHSA’s product range includes tractor parts, combine harvester parts, baler parts, grape harvester parts and axle parts.
Basis of preparation of the special purpose carve-out historical financial information
The Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the three years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Statements of Financial Position as at 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, accounting policies and the notes thereto (“ Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information ”) have been extracted, from the consolidated financial statements of Invicta for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 (“ Audited Financial Statements ”). The Audited Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS and the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council.
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, for purposes of providing financial information to satisfy the requirements of Section 8 of the JSE Listings Requirements. The additional disclosure required in terms of paragraph 8.12 of the Listings Requirements has been included in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information. As IFRS
38
does not provide for the preparation of special purpose carve-out historical financial information, certain accounting conventions commonly used in the preparation of historical financial information for inclusion in a Circular has been applied.
In preparing the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information, the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council have been applied, except for the material departures from these principles as has been noted below. The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has further been supplemented with certain relevant note disclosures that are considered necessary to understand the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information
The Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity. The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared by aggregating the historical carve-out financial information relating to the Target Business. The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared with the objective of presenting the results and net assets of the Target Business for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Target Business has, for the periods presented, been under the control of Invicta. Consequently, this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial performance that would have been achieved, had the Target Business operated independently for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Share capital and retained income
Since the Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity, it is not meaningful to disclose a historical analysis of the share capital and retained income balances. The total equity of the Target Business as disclosed in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information represents the cumulative investment of Invicta in the Target Business.
Statement of changes in equity
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information does not include a statement of changes in equity for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 as the Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity and it is, therefore, not considered meaningful to disclose a historical analysis of share capital, owner’s loan and retained earnings balances.
Statement of cash flows
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information does not include a statement of cash flows for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018. Although the Target Business did operate its own bank accounts, these cash and cash equivalents have been specifically excluded from the Transactions and accordingly is has not been included in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information. Therefore, for the purpose of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information, the effects of the Transactions are considered to be non-cash and, therefore, presenting a statement of cash flow will not be meaningful to a user.
IAS 24 — Related Party Disclosures
The Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity. There are numerous transactions between the Target Business and other group companies of Invicta Holdings, including the providing of and receiving of centralised services. Therefore, no disclosures for transactions and balances owing to other divisions of Invicta as related parties are made that do not form part of the Transactions’ parameters, as these are not considered to be related parties. Subsidiaries of Invicta are considered to be related parties. Related party transactions with these subsidiaries are disclosed in note 4 to the Special Purpose CarveOut Historical Financial Information.
Throughout the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Target Business were represented by Invicta key management personnel as the Target Business’ activities were managed as part of Invicta. For this reason, it is not relevant to disclose Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information relating to those individuals who will not be the key management personnel of the Target Business post acquisition.
39
Intercompany transactions and funding
All transactions between the Target Business and Invicta, which have historically been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of Invicta, have now been presented as Parent-entity net investment in carve-out business and reflected as equity in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information. As the Target Business is a division of the operations of Invicta, it did not have its own borrowings. Therefore, the balances with Invicta, together with the borrowing of the Target Business for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 are reflected in equity as it represents the cumulative investment of Invicta in the Target Business.
Income tax expense
Income tax is calculated at a legal entity level. The allocation of an income tax charge to the Target Business would not be meaningful as it is not representative of the tax charges that would have been reported had the Target Business operated as a separate legal entity. The taxation assets and liabilities are also not transferred as part of the sale of the business, as these liabilities or assets are retained by Invicta. Therefore, no tax expense or related assets and liabilities have been reflected in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Deferred tax
The allocation of the deferred tax charge to the Target Business would not be meaningful as it is not necessarily representative of the tax charges that would have been reported had the Target Business operated as a separate legal entity. The taxation assets and liabilities are also not transferred as part of the sale of the business, as these liabilities or assets are retained by Invicta. Therefore, no tax expense or related assets and liabilities have been reflected in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Functional and presentation currency
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information is presented in Rand, which is also the functional currency of Invicta. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Selling, administration and distribution overhead costs
The Target Business did not previously operate independently. As a result, it benefited from certain centralised functions provided by Invicta central services throughout the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018. The historical carve out financial information for the Target Business does not include costs directly related to services consumed by the Target Business. Only the expenses directly linked to the Target Business are reflected in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
IFRS 16 first time adoption disclosure
Although the right of use assets and lease liabilities have been recognised and measured using the principles in IFRS 16, the IFRS 16 first time adoption disclosure for the Target Business would not be meaningful as it is not necessarily representative of the actual adoption entries that would have been reported had the Target Business operated as a separate legal entity. As a result of the taxation and deferred taxation being excluded, as per above, providing a reconciliation of opening balance impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 would not provide meaningful information. Therefore, no IFRS 16 first time adoption disclosures have been reflected in the historical carve out financial information.
The Invicta Audited Financial Statements for the years ended 31 March 2020 and 2019 have been audited by Ernst & Young Inc. and unqualified audit opinions have been issued thereon. The Invicta Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche and an unqualified audit opinion has been issued thereon. Ernst & Young Inc. is the independent reporting accountant to Invicta and has issued the independent reporting accountant’s report on this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended 31 March 2020 and the independent reporting accountant’s review reports on this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018 , which are included as Annexures 4 and 5, respectively, to this Circular.

Commentary
The Target Business has been and continue to operate in tough market sectors. The mainstay of the business which entails servicing of the agricultural sector continues to show a declining trend in new tractor and combine harvester sales since 2012. Likewise, the lack of government spending particularly on infrastructure as well as the decline of the major construction companies in South Africa, has meant that demand for construction and earth moving equipment has likewise declined with only real demand seen coming from specific open cast mining sectors. Revenue has accordingly declined by 9.5% from the prior year, which in turn declined by 14,3% from the year before that. Due to the change in product mix with higher sales of parts as opposed to capital equipment, the gross profit percentage has improved by 1.34% to 21.78% from the prior period.
Operating expenses have been tightly controlled and have reduced by 17.9% from the prior year which has meant that operating profit before foreign exchange costs declined by 17.1%. Working capital has been well controlled and remains flat on the prior year. The introduction of IFRS16 has meant that Non-Current Assets have increased by the Right-of-use assets value of R57.3million and Lease liabilities value of R 71.3 million.
The Target Business continues to focus on growing the spare parts business and particularly with respect to aftermarket parts, the respective market shares have increased. The Landboupart and New Holland South Africa parts businesses forming the primary focus of this strategy.

Significant accounting policies
1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these historical carve-out financial information are set out below.
1.1 General information and basis of preparation
The carve out operations are included in the South African operations of Invicta, a public company registered in South Africa and comprise of the Target Business.
The special purpose carve-out historical financial information of the Target Business comprises of the Sale Assets and Assumed Liabilities. The special purpose carve-out historical financial information has been derived from the consolidated financial statements of Invicta for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 using historical results of operations, assets and liabilities attributable to the Target Business. Invicta’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The directors have relied on the fact that the special purpose carve-out historical financial information, which has been derived from these consolidated financial statements of Invicta for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and that the Invicta directors are responsible for the compilation of Invicta’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the internal controls as they determined are necessary to enable the preparation and presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements.
The four businesses that are the subject matter of the Disposal comprise the following:
Landboupart – a distributor of replacement spare parts for the agricultural and industrial markets for brands such as Massey Ferguson, Landini, John Deere, Perkins, IH (Melrose) and Carraro. Landboupart supplies a wide range of quality agricultural spare parts ranging from tractor parts, engine parts, filters and drivetrains, to planter parts.
Northmec – a supplier of farming equipment in South Africa, distributing a full range of agricultural machinery, implements and related original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) spare parts for brands such as Case IH, and many other quality internationally known brands. Northmec’s product range includes tractors, mowers, combine harvesters, windrowers, cultivators, grain/corn headers, balers, ploughs and sprayers.
CSE – engaged in the distribution of Case earthmoving and construction equipment, turf-grooming machinery, utility vehicles and related OEM spare parts. CSE specialises in distributing, inter alia, Case and Dynapac branded equipment, including tractor loader backhoes, skid steer loaders, tele-handlers, crawler excavators, front end loaders and graders.
NHSA - NHSA is a supplier of OEM and Non-OEM spare parts for brands such as Fiat, Ford, Braud, Carraro and NewPart. NHSA’s product range includes tractor parts, combine harvester parts, baler parts, grape harvester parts and axle parts.
Basis of preparation of the special purpose carve-out historical financial information
The Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the three years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Statements of Financial Position as at 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, accounting policies and the notes thereto (“ Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information ”) have been extracted, from the consolidated financial statements of Invicta for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 (“ Audited Financial Statements ”). The Audited Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS and the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council.
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, for purposes of providing financial information to satisfy the requirements of Section 8 of the JSE Listings Requirements. The additional disclosure required in terms of paragraph 8.12 of the Listings Requirements has been included in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
As IFRS does not provide for the preparation of special purpose carve-out historical financial information, certain accounting conventions commonly used in the preparation of historical financial information for inclusion in a Circular has been applied.

Significant accounting policies
1.1 General information and basis of preparation (continued)
In preparing the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information, the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council have been applied, except for the material departures from these principles as has been noted below. The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has further been supplemented with certain relevant note disclosures that are considered necessary to understand the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information
The Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity. The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared by aggregating the historical carve-out financial information relating to the Target Business. The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared with the objective of presenting the results and net assets of the Target Business for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Target Business has, for the periods presented, been under the control of Invicta. Consequently, this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial performance that would have been achieved, had the Target Business operated independently for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Share capital and retained income
Since the Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity, it is not meaningful to disclose a historical analysis of the share capital and retained income balances. The total equity of the Target Business as disclosed in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information represents the cumulative investment of Invicta in the Target Business.
Statement of changes in equity
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information does not include a statement of changes in equity for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 as the Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity and it is, therefore, not considered meaningful to disclose a historical analysis of share capital, owner’s loan and retained earnings balances.
Statement of cash flows
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information does not include a statement of cash flows for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018. Although the Target Business did operate its own bank accounts, these cash and cash equivalents have been specifically excluded from the Transactions and accordingly is has not been included in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information. Therefore, for the purpose of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information, the effect of the Transactions are considered to be non-cash and, therefore, presenting a statement of cash flow will not be meaningful to a user.
IAS 24 — Related Party Disclosures
The Target Business does not constitute a separate legal entity. There are numerous transactions between the Target Business and other group companies of Invicta Holdings, including the providing of and receiving of centralised services. Therefore, no disclosures for transactions and balances owing to other divisions of Invicta as related parties are made that do not form part of the transaction's parameters, as these are not considered to be related parties. Subsidiaries of Invicta are considered to be related parties. Related party transactions with these subsidiaries are disclosed in note 22 to the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Throughout the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018, those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Target Business were represented by Invicta key management personnel as the Target Business’ activities were managed as part of Invicta. For this reason, it is not relevant to disclose Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information relating to those individuals who will not be the key management personnel of the Target Business post acquisition.
Intercompany transactions and funding
All transactions between the Target Business and Invicta, which have historically been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of Invicta, have now been presented as Parent-entity net investment in carve-out business and reflected as equity in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information. As the Target Business is a division of the operations of Invicta, it did not have its own borrowings. Therefore, the balances with Invicta, together with the borrowing of the Target Business for the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018 are reflected in equity as it represents the cumulative investment of Invicta in the Target Business.

Significant accounting policies
1.1 General information and basis of preparation (continued)
Income tax expense
Income tax is calculated at a legal entity level. The allocation of an income tax charge to the Target Business would not be meaningful as it is not representative of the tax charges that would have been reported had the Target Business operated as a separate legal entity. The taxation assets and liabilities are also not transferred as part of the sale of the business, as these liabilities or assets are retained by Invicta. Therefore, no tax expense or related assets and liabilities have been reflected in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Deferred tax
The allocation of the deferred tax charge to the Target Business would not be meaningful as it is not necessarily representative of the tax charges that would have been reported had the Target Business operated as a separate legal entity. The taxation assets and liabilities are also not transferred as part of the sale of the business, as these liabilities or assets are retained by Invicta. Therefore, no tax expense or related assets and liabilities have been reflected in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
Functional and presentation currency
The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information is presented in Rand, which is also the functional currency of Invicta. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Selling, administration and distribution overhead costs
The Target Business did not previously operate independently. As a result, it benefited from certain centralised functions provided by Invicta central services throughout the years ended 31 March 2020, 2019 and 2018. The historical carve out financial information for the Target Business does not include costs directly related to services consumed by the Target Business. Only the expenses directly linked to the Target Business are reflected in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.
IFRS 16 first time adoption disclosure
Although the right of use assets and lease liabilities have been recognised and measured using the principles in IFRS 16, the IFRS 16 first time adoption disclosure for the Target Business would not be meaningful as it is not necessarily representative of the actual adoption entries that would have been reported had the Target Business operated as a separate legal entity. As a result of the taxation and deferred taxation being excluded, as per above, providing a reconciliation of the opening balance impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 would not provide meaningful information. Therefore, no IFRS 16 first time adoption disclosures have been reflected in the historical carve out financial information.
The Invicta Audited Financial Statements for the years ended 31 March 2020 and 2019 have been audited by Ernst & Young Inc. and unqualified audit opinions have been issued thereon. The Invicta Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche and unqualified audit opinion has been issued thereon. Ernst and Young Inc. is the independent reporting accountant to Invicta and has issued the independent reporting accountant’s assurance report on this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended 31 March 2020 and the independent reporting accountant’s review reports on this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018 , which are included as Annexures 4 and 5, respectively to this Circular.
The directors of Invicta are responsible for the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information included in this Circular .

Significant accounting policies
1.2 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the historical carve-out financial information, based on the measurement and recognition principles of IFRS, requires management from time to time, to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Allowance for inventory obsolescence
Management assesses whether inventory is impaired by comparing its cost to its estimated net realisable value.
Obsolete, redundant and slow-moving items are identified on a regular basis and are written down to their estimated net realisable values. Inventory is aged according to the expected inventory sell-through rate and applied to the shelf life. Items that have exceeded the average shelf life are provided for in full. Significant judgement was required to assess the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on sell-through rates relating to the 2020 financial period. The amount of the write-down is recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the year in which it occurs.
The policy has been applied by the disposal business units as follows:
New and used equipment is aged annually, based on the receipt date of the items on hand. All new equipment inventory is fully provided for within 6 years of the receipt date. All second-hand equipment inventory is fully provided for within 5 years of the receipt date.
Parts are aged annually, based on the quantity of the various product categories on hand, relative to their life expectancy and relevant turnover indicators.
Measurement of expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables
The disposal group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (‘ECL’s) for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns by customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of credit and other forms of credit insurance.
The impairment for trade receivables is measured using an ECL model using the simplified approach. ECLs are calculated using a provision matrix, which applies a historic loss ratio to the aged balance of trade receivables at each reporting date with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
In instances where there was no evidence of historical write-offs, management’s judgement is applied to assess potential writeoffs. The historic loss ratio as the starting point to calculate the expected credit loss allowance is also adjusted for forwardlooking information to determine the lifetime ECL for the portfolio of trade receivables, including factors such as inflation, interest and exchange rates, state infrastructure spend, expected GDP growth and extended payment terms granted. Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the forward looking elements, and the industry-specific impact has been considered across the customer base.
The impairment for other receivables is based on historical evidence and management’s judgement.
Critical judgments in determining the lease term and incremental borrowing rate as lessee
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.

Significant accounting policies
1.2 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
The present value of the right-of-use lease liability is determined using an incremental borrowing rate representing the forecast local borrowing rates adjusted for the Invicta group’s average credit spread, in the period when the lease contract commences or is modified. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Invicta group would have incurred over a similar term, and with a similar security, for the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
Impairment of finance lease receivables
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgement is used in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Provisions
Provisions are inherently based on assumptions and estimates using the best information available. The provision is recognised for expected warranty claims on specific products sold during the past 3 financial periods.
1.3 Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment ("PPE") are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Land is stated at cost less accumulated impairment whilst other fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Rental assets comprise forklifts and machinery.
Where significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the disposal group depreciates them separately.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal (i.e. at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the disposal group and the cost can reliably be measured.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, to their estimated residual values. The depreciation charge is generally recognised in profit or loss. Land is not depreciated..
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
| Item | Depreciation method | Average useful life |
|---|---|---|
| Land | Straight line | Not depreciated |
| Buildings | Straight line | 5 years |

| Furniture, fittings and office equipment | Straight line | 3 to 10 years |
| IT equipment | Straight line | 3 years |
| Rental equipment | Straight line | 4 years |
| Golf cars | Straight line | 4 years |
The depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
The residual values of owned land and buildings are estimated to approximate cost and as a result these are not depreciated.
The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are based on management’s estimation. On an annual basis management considers the impact of changes in technology, customer service requirements, availability of capital funding and required return on assets and equity to determine the optimum useful life expectation of each individual item of plant and equipment. The estimation of residual values of assets is based on management’s judgement of what a similar asset of a similar age and condition will be sold for.
1.4 Financial instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the disposal group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL (fair value through profit or loss), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at: - amortised cost; or
- fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: - it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and - its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Derivatives
All derivatives are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets – Business model assessment
The disposal group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice.
Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

1.4 Financial instruments (continued)
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the disposal group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the disposal group considers:
-
contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
-
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
-
prepayment and extension features; and
-
terms that limit the disposal group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and any net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Finance costs and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
Classification of financial liabilities:
Trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost. Forward exchange contracts are measured at FVTPL.
Derecognition
Financial assets
The disposal group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or in which the disposal group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
Financial liabilities
The disposal group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The disposal group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the disposal group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.4 Financial instruments (continued)
Derivative financial instruments
The disposal group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exposures.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment
Financial assets
The disposal group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial instruments measured at amortised cost as well as on finance lease receivables. Loss allowances for trade receivables and finance lease receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
The disposal group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
-
the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the disposal group in full, without recourse by the disposal group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
-
the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the disposal group is exposed to credit risk.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the disposal group expects to receive).
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the disposal group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the disposal group has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 180 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For corporate customers, the disposal group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The disposal group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the disposal group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
Financial instruments - IAS 39
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest rate method as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Significant accounting policies
1.5 Leases
Leases are recognised, measured and presented in line with IFRS 16.
The disposal group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The details of accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately.
The following accounting policy is applicable and implemented from 1 April 2019:
At inception of a contract, the disposal group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.
This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after 1 April 2019.
-
Construction equipment is leased through a finance lease from the bank for the purpose of sub-leasing to customers, with the liability recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments. Interest is accounted for over the term of the lease, at a fixed rate per lease, on the remaining balance of the liability through profit or loss.
-
Property is leased through an operating lease which is a right of use lease. Interest is accounted for over the term of the lease, at a fixed rate per lease, on the remaining balance of the liability through profit or loss.
As lessee
Right of use leases
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the disposal group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the disposal group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The disposal group recognises a right-of-use asset and a right-of-use lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the right-of-use lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the disposal group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the disposal group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the right-of-use lease liability.
The right-of-use lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the disposal group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the disposal group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The disposal group’s incremental borrowing rate is determined on a lease category basis where leases of the same nature will be allocated the same rate.
The disposal group based its incremental borrowing rate on the rate as applied by the Invicta Group. The Invicta group determines the incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the right-of-use lease liability comprise the following:
-
fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
-
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

1.5 Leases (continued) - the exercise price under a purchase option that the disposal group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the disposal group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the disposal group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
Finance leases
The disposal group finances certain capital equipment transactions to customers at market related interest rates, resulting in the recognition of a finance lease receivable (refer to note 5). Refer to note 10 for the finance lease liability. A proportion of these lease transactions are discounted with the disposal group's external banking partners. The financed asset consequently serves as security for the lease transactions.
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
The disposal group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and right-of-use lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The disposal group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As lessor
At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the disposal group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.
When the disposal group acted as a lessor, it determined at lease inception whether each lease was a finance lease or an operating lease.
When the disposal group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interest's in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the disposal group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the disposal group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
The disposal group applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. The disposal group further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease.
The disposal group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.
Generally, the accounting policies applicable to the disposal group as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from IFRS 16 except for the classification of the sub-lease entered into during the current reporting period that resulted in a finance lease classification.

1.6 Leases (31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018 under IAS 17)
For contracts entered into before 1 April 2019, the disposal group determined whether the arrangement was or contained a lease based on the assessment of whether:
-
fulfilment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and
-
the arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset. An arrangement conveyed the right to use the asset if one of the following was met:
-
the purchaser had the ability or right to operate the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output;
-
the purchaser had the ability or right to control physical access to the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output; or
-
facts and circumstances indicated that it was remote that other parties would take more than an insignificant amount of the output, and the price per unit was neither fixed per unit of output nor equal to the current market price per unit of output.
As a lessee
In the comparative period, as a lessee the disposal group classified leases that transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership as finance leases. When this was the case, the leased assets were measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments were the payments over the lease term that the lessee was required to make, excluding any contingent rent. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets were accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Assets held under other leases were classified as operating leases and were not recognised in the disposal group’s statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases were recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received were recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
As a lessor
When the disposal group acted as a lessor, it determined at lease inception whether each lease was a finance lease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the disposal group made an overall assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this was the case, then the lease was a finance lease; if not, then it was an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the disposal group considered certain indicators such as whether the lease was for the major part of the economic life of the asset. Operating lease income was recognised as an income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The disposal group recognised finance lease receivables in the statement of financial position. Finance income was recognised based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the disposal group’s net investment in the finance lease.
1.7 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
The policy has been applied by the disposal group as follows:
-
The cost of finished goods and goods in transit, for both equipment and parts, is the landed cost of the goods plus the costs incurred to bring it to a selling location, accounted for on the first-in first-out method.
-
The cost of work in progress is the costs of direct parts, labour costs and travel costs.
1.8 Provisions
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance costs.
Warranty provision
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
Employee incentive provisions

1.8 Provisions (continued)
The provisions for discretionary employee incentives that represent the amount that the disposal group has a present obligation to pay as a result of performance up to the reporting date. The provisions have been calculated at undiscounted amounts based on current wage and salary rates.
1.9 Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the disposal group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
1.10 Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers
The disposal group generates revenue primarily from the sale of products and provision of services to its customers. Other sources of revenue include rental income from owned and leased equipment and finance income earned from entering into finance leases with customers over equipment.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts received on behalf of third parties, like Value-Added Tax. The disposal group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer.
Sale of goods
The disposal group sells a range of equipment, spare parts, engineering consumables and tools, as well as plastic pipeware and hardware.
Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when the goods are delivered to the agreed point of delivery, i.e., the agreed destination where control over the goods is transferred to the customer.
Some contracts permit the customer to return a product. For these contracts, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. Therefore, the amount of revenue recognised is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the historical data for specific products. In these circumstances, a refund liability and a right to recover returned goods asset are recognised.
The right to recover returned goods asset is measured at the former carrying amount of the inventory less any expected costs to recover goods. The refund liability is included in trade and other payables and the right to recover returned goods is included in inventory. The disposal group reviews its estimate of expected returns at each reporting date and updates the amounts of the asset and liability accordingly.
Rendering of services
The disposal group provides the following services: - Maintenance and servicing of capital equipment; and
- Installation of gearboxes and pressure pumps.

Significant accounting policies
1.10 Revenue (continued)
Revenue is recognised over time as the services are performed except for servicing or repairs of capital equipment which is recognised once the service or repair work has been completed, i.e. with revenue recognised at that point in time.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised when performance obligations have been met, this could be as the services are rendered or upon completion of the services. The performance obligations are determined as follows:
-
installation fees are recognised during the period of time that the installation occurs;
-
servicing fees included in the price of products sold are recognised in reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the servicing for the product sold; and
-
revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours and direct expenses are incurred.
The disposal group policy has been applied by the operating segments as follows:
-
Rendering of equipment servicing or repairs is recognised once the service or repair has been completed.
-
Contract maintenance revenue is recognised over the term of the contract.
Revenue from leases with customers
The disposal group, as lessor, enters into finance and operating leases with customers over construction equipment, forklifts and property.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in revenue. Finance income from financing activities, directly related to the finance lease receivables, is recognised using the effective interest method and is included in operating profit.
Revenue recognition policies - 2018 financial period (IAS 18)
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the disposal group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the disposal group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the disposal group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:
-
installation fees are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the installation, determined as the proportion of the total time expected to install that has elapsed at the end of the reporting period;
-
servicing fees included in the price of products sold are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the servicing for the product sold; and
-
revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours and direct expenses are incurred.
The disposal group policy has been applied as follows:
-
Sale of equipment and spare parts is recognised when the goods are delivered to the customer.
-
Rendering of equipment servicing or repairs is recognised once the service or repair has been completed.
-
Maintenance revenue is recognised over the term of the maintenance contract.
-
Interest income is recognised on finance leases and cash balances and is recognised on a time basis.

1.11 Finance income and costs
The disposal group’s finance income and finance costs include:
-
interest income;
-
interest expense;
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
-
the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
-
the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
1.12 Operating profit
Operating profit is the result generated from the disposal group’s continuing revenue-producing activities (considered core operations), thus excluding finance income, finance costs (except for finance income and finance costs on financing transactions as they form part of operating profit), and taxes. Operating profit also excludes, as non-core, any profit earned from the disposal group's financial investments.
1.13 Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of disposal group divisions at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss and presented separately.
1.14 Cost of sales
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
The related cost of providing services recognised as revenue in the current period is included in cost of sales.
Contract costs comprise:
-
costs that relate directly to the specific contract;
-
costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract; and
-
such other costs as are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Cost of sales is reduced by the amount recognised in inventory as a "right to returned goods asset" which represents the company right to recover products from customers where customers exercise their right of return under the company returns policy.

Notes to the Historical Carve-Out Financial Statements
2. Standards that became effective in the current period
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-ofuse asset and a right-of-use lease liability at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. Details of these new requirements are described in note 1.5. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
The disposal group has adopted IFRS16 ‘Leases’ using the modified retrospective approach by recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 April 2019. The right-of-use assets for leases were recognised based on the carrying amount as if the standard had always been applied, apart from the use of incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
IFRS 16 has had a significant impact for the disposal group, given the number of branch properties that are leased.
IFRS 16 has had no impact on the accounting of existing finance leases. It has however impacted most leases that were previously recorded as operating leases under IAS 17, where only the rental charge was recorded in profit or loss, and the disposal group has elected to apply the transition practical expedient that permits the entity not to reassess if a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the lessee has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
IFRS 16 Leases
The following expedients permitted by the standard were applied by the disposal group: - Modified retrospective adoption – no comparatives required to be disclosed; - Exemption of short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value;
- Portfolio approach applied to classes of leases that have similar characteristics.
Impact on the lessee accounting
Former operating leases
IFRS 16 changes how the disposal group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, which were off-balance-sheet.
Applying IFRS 16, for all leases (except as noted below), the disposal group:
a) recognises right-of-use assets and right-of-use lease liabilities in the carve-out statement of financial position, initially measured at the present value of future lease payments;
b) recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on right of-use lease liabilities in the carve-out statement of profit or loss.
Lease incentives (e.g. free rent period) are recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets and right-of-use lease liabilities whereas under IAS 17 they resulted in the recognition of a lease incentive liability, amortised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Under IFRS 16, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This replaces the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts.
For short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and office furniture), the disposal group has opted to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by IFRS 16. This expense is presented within other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the Historical Carve-Out Financial Statements
2. Standards that became effective in the current period (continued)
Former finance leases
The main difference between IFRS 16 and IAS 17 with respect to assets formerly held under a finance lease is the measurement of residual value guarantees provided by a lessee to a lessor. IFRS 16 requires that the disposal group recognises as part of its right-of-use lease liability only the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, rather than the maximum amount guaranteed as required by IAS 17. This change did not have a material effect on the disposal group’s historical carve-out financial information.
Impact on Lessor Accounting
IFRS 16 does not change substantially how a lessor accounts for leases. Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. However, IFRS 16 has changed and expanded the disclosures required, regarding how a lessor manages the risks arising from its residual interest in the leased assets.
Under IFRS 16, an intermediate lessor accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. The intermediate lessor is required to classify the sublease as a finance or operating lease with reference to the right-of use asset arising from the head lease (and not with reference to the underlying asset as was the case under IAS 17). Because of this change, the disposal group has reclassified certain of its sublease agreements as finance leases. As required by IFRS 9, an allowance for expected credit loss has been recognised on the finance lease receivables.
Right of use assets of R 71.3 million and lease liabilities of R 83.5 million were recognised in the disposal group.
The operating right-of-use lease liabilities were discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as at 1 April 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 9.67%.

Exposure to credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the leases as presented above. A loss allowance is considered for every lease that has more than one instalment in arrears. The estimated loss allowance is immaterial and therefore no loss allowance was accounted for. The disposal group takes into account the security that is held as well as post year end settlement of arrears when calculating the loss allowance. The leased equipment serves as security over the lease.

7. Trade and other receivables (continued)
Exposure to credit risk
Trade receivables inherently expose the company to credit risk, being the risk that the company will incur financial loss if customers fail to make payments as they fall due.
Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the disposal group’s trade receivables using a provisioning matrix.
All trade receivables which are not insured are provided for based on expected credit loss impairment model, determined predominantly by use of a provision matrix that is based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors, including, inflation, interest and exchange rates, state infrastructure spend, expected GDP growth and extended payment terms granted.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been considered across the disposal group for the 31 March 2020 financial year, where applicable the historical credit loss experience applied in the provision matrix has been adjusted for the increased risk of non-recovery.
Before accepting any new customer, the disposal group uses an external credit scoring system to assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed. No one customer represents more than 5% of the total balance of trade receivables.
Trade receivables which have been written off are still subject to enforcement activity.
There have been no significant changes in the credit risk management policies and processes since the prior reporting period.
Trade receivables arise from both wholesale and retail sales. The customer base for retail trade is large and widespread, with a result that there is no specific significant concentration of credit risk from these trade receivables.
The company's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments. The provision for credit losses is therefore based on past due status without disaggregating into further risk profiles. The loss allowance provision is determined as follows:
| Weighted average expected credit loss rate: Less than 30 days past due: 5% (2019: 2%) 31 - 60 days past due: 3% (2019: 3%) 61 - 90 days past due: 5% (2019: 3%) 91 - 120 days past due: 3% (2019: 3%) More than 120 days past due: 3% (2019: 4%) Debtors handed over: 100% (2019: 100%) Total |

Reconciliation of loss allowances
The following table shows the movement in the loss allowance (lifetime expected credit losses) for lease receivables:

No adjustment upon the application of IFRS 9 during the 2019 financial period was required.
Credit risk disclosures for comparatives under IAS 39
The information is provided in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement which was only applicable to the 31 March 2018 period. Thereafter IFRS 9 was effective.
Credit quality of trade and other receivables
The credit quality of trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:
Trade and other receivables past due but not impaired
The ageing of amounts past due but not impaired is as follows:
| The ageing of amounts past due but not impaired is as follows: | |
|---|---|
| 2 months past due | 7 618 |
| 3 months past due | 3 884 |
| More than 3 months past due | 900 |
Trade and other receivables impaired
As of 31 March 2018, trade and other receivables of R 13 313 million were impaired and provided for.
The ageing of these loans is as follows:
| 3 to 6 months Over 6 months Reconciliation of provision for impairment of trade and other receivables Opening balance Provision raised during the year |
2 669 10 644 (12 357) (956) |

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of trade and other receivable mentioned above. The disposal group does not hold any collateral as security.
Fair value of trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates their carrying amounts.

The disposal group has several lease contracts that include extension options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and to align these with the disposal group’s business needs. Management exercises significant judgement in determining whether these extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised.
As at year end management is not aware of any lease extensions options that have not been accounted for in term of IFRS 16.
The finance lease liabilities bear interest at a variable interest rate of between 9% and 10.5% and these liabilities are repayable over a period varying from 36 to 60 months.

The disposal group finances certain capital equipment transactions to customers at market related interest rates, resulting in the recognition of a finance lease receivable (refer to note 5). Refer to note 10 for the finance lease liability. A proportion of these lease transactions are discounted with the disposal group's external banking partners. The financed asset consequently serves as security for the lease transactions.

23. Events after the reporting period
South Africa entered into a lockdown towards the end of March 2020.
At the date of this report the country was at lockdown level 1, the least restricted lockdown level. There remains uncertainty regarding the timing to reach full lift of the lockdown, and the rate of recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation continues to be closely monitored so that the various businesses may adapt as necessary to comply with regulations and meet the needs of our customers. Our top priority remains the safety and well-being of our employees. All indications and international precedents are pointing that a further surge in COVID-19 cases is likely, which may entail reverting to a higher lockdown level.
The operating results since the year ended 31 March 2020 have shown that the corrective actions taken in relation to the pandemic have yielded benefits. Despite revenue still tracking below volumes of the prior year, cost containment measures have ensured that the initial lockdown level 5 losses are recovered and a break-even result is likely for the first quarter of the 2021 financial year.
In July 2020, Invicta entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”). In terms of the SPA, the Target Business will be sold. The Acquisition requires various regulatory approvals, including approval by the South African competition authorities. In addition, the parties have agreed to the provisions applicable to the conduct of the Target Business in the period between the signature of the SPA and the Closing Date. Fulfilment of the conditions precedent to the Acquisition is expected by the date stated in the Circular, which date may be extended, as provided for in the SPA. The conditions precedent may also be waived, as provided for in the SPA.

24. Risk management
Financial risk management
Overview
The disposal group is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
-
Credit risk;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk (currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk).
Liquidity risk
The disposal group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained.
The maturity profile of contractual cash flows of trade and other payables and derivatives is short term. For detail of the maturity profile of contractual cash flow relating to lease liabilities and finance liabilities refer to notes 10 and 11.
Foreign currency risk
The disposal group utilises currency derivatives to eliminate or reduce the exposure to its foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, and to economically hedge future transactions. The disposal group has entered into certain forward exchange contracts in various currencies which will be utilised for the settlement of orders placed with suppliers and which are due for payment in the coming reporting period. It is the disposal group’s policy not to speculate in foreign exchange contracts. The disposal group is mainly exposed to foreign currencies in US Dollar, Euro, Yen and British Pounds and uses forward foreign exchange contracts ("FECs") to cover specific foreign currency exposures.
At reporting period, open forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market and the gains and losses arising on the contracts are recognised in profit or loss. The estimated net fair values have been determined at the reporting period, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
The forward exchange contracts in place at the reporting period to cover current and future inventory purchases, are as follows:
Exposure in Rand

24. Risk management (continued)
Exposure in foreign currency amounts
The following table details the disposal group's sensitivity to a reasonable increase or decrease in ZAR against the relevant foreign currencies at the reporting date. The percentages used below represent management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates, based on historical volatilities of these currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding FECs at the reporting date. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit where the ZAR strengthens by the percentages below against the relevant currency. For a weakening of the ZAR by the percentages below against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit, and the balances would be negative. The impact on the Group's equity is not provided as the FECs are not designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge.

| Euro | 43 102 | 14,62 | 2% | (862) |
| British Pound | 155 | 16,64 | (1%) | 2 |
Interest rate risk
The disposal group is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate borrowings. The exposure to interest rate risk is managed using derivatives, where it is considered appropriate, and through a closely monitored cash management system.
The impact of a change in the interest rate of 1% with all other variables held constant will have the following effect:
| Carrying amount at year end | Change in interest rate | Effect on profit before tax | |
|---|---|---|---|
| R'000 | |||
| 31 March 2020 | |||
| Finance lease liabilities | 12 987 | 1% | 130 |
| 31 March 2019 | |||
