Declaration of directors' responsibility and approval
The directors are responsible for the fair presentation of the annual Company financial statements and annual Group financial statements of Kaap Agri Limited. In conducting this responsibility they rely on the information, assessments and estimates of management. The fair presentation and integrity of the Company and Group financial statements are also evaluated on the basis of accounting systems and internal financial control measures which are monitored on an ongoing basis during the financial period.
The Company and Group annual Financial Statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations, the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guide issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council. These financial statements incorporate accounting policies that have been consistently applied to all periods presented and are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year, with the exception of the adoption of the IFRS 16: Leases. The impact of the implementation of this standard is disclosed in note 46.
The Board of Directors ("Board") will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's operations and its financial position. The impact of COVID-19 has been limited to certain areas of the business as mentioned above and while concerning, has not materially impacted the Group results. The business has been able to partially mitigate lost income via a range of cost and working capital initiatives, thus ensuring a lower overall financial impact. Liquidity has remained within the various banking covenants and no relaxation of covenants or additional facilities have been required. Revenue has largely recovered and although footfall remains down, the business is performing in line with expectation. The balance sheet has remained strong throughout the various lockdown levels. Kaap Agri remains focused on disciplined cash management, specifically in the areas of working capital, capital expenditure and cost control. Management is comfortable to conclude that the business will continue as a going concern and is very satisfied with the results the Group has delivered during a very challenging period.
Based on the Group and Company financial statements, the present position of the Company and the Group, budgets for the coming year and available financing facilities, the directors have no reason to believe that the Company and Group will not be a going concern. The going concern principle is therefore accepted and applied in the preparation of the Group and Company financial statements.
The independent auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. audited the Group and Company financial statements to comply with the relevant requirements of the Companies Act. The auditors had unrestricted access to all financial records and related information, minutes of shareholders, directors and Board committee meetings. The directors are of the opinion that all submissions and management declarations presented to the auditors were correct, valid and relevant.
The unqualified report of the auditors appears on page 6 – 13.
The Company and Group annual financial statements on pages 14 to 84 were compiled by GC Victor CA (SA) under supervision of GW Sim CA (SA) and approved by the Board of directors on 25 November 2020 and signed on their behalf by:
GM Steyn S Walsh

Report of the Audit and Risk committee
to the shareholders of Kaap Agri Limited
COMPOSITION AND ATTENDANCE OF MEETINGS
The composition of the Audit and Risk Committee and attendance of meetings will be set out in the integrated report.
KEY FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The responsibilities of the audit committee are set out in a formal charter which is revised annually by the Board. The committee has free access to the Chairman of the Board of directors and is empowered to consult independent experts unlimited at company cost. In the execution of its duties according to its mandate and requirements of the Companies Act, the committee is responsible for the discussion and assessment of:
- > the effectiveness of internal control systems and risk management as well as of management information;
- > the internal auditor's audit plan, reports and recommendations;
- > the independence, conditions of appointment, audit plan and remuneration of the external auditors;
- > the effectiveness and reports of the external auditors;
- > the Group's conformance to corporate management rules, risk management and statutory requirements;
- > the appropriateness of accounting policies and any matters related to financial reporting;
- > the separate and consolidated annual financial statements, before these annual financial statements are approved by the board for release;
- > ensuring that the external auditor is independent of Kaap Agri Limited, as set out in section 94(8) of the Companies Act, and suitable for reappointment by considering, inter alia, the information stated in paragraph 22.15(h) of the JSE Ltd Listings Requirements;
- > ensuring that the group chief financial officer, as well as the group finance function, has the appropriate expertise and experience in terms of paragraph 3.84(g)(i) of the JSE Ltd Listings Requirements.
- > any other prescribed functions the committee is required to perform.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The internal audit function fulfils an important role to give assurance to the Audit Committee that sufficient control measures are in place and are functioning correctly so that the committee can form an opinion on key functions and key responsibilities. Therefore, the internal auditors have direct access to the chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee is also responsible to ensure that the internal audit function is independent and that it has the necessary resources, status and authority to perform its duties. The internal and external auditors attend Audit Committee meetings. The committee also regularly meets together and separately with the internal and external auditors to create the opportunity to exchange confidential information. The Audit Committee also oversees the co-operation between internal and external auditors and serves as a link between the Board and these functions.
EXTERNAL AUDIT
The board sets a policy that governs the level and nature of non-audit services, which requires preapproval by the audit committee for all non-audit services. In determining the independence of the external auditors, the committee considers the level and types of non-audit services provided as well as other enquiries and representations. The prospect of mandatory audit firm rotation was also considered by the committee during the current financial year. As required by the Companies Act, the committee has satisfied itself that Kaap Agri Limited's external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.,
was independent of the company, as set out in sections 90(2)(c) and 94(8) of the Companies Act and is thereby able to conduct its audit functions without any undue influence from the company.
The committee has considered the relevant audit quality indicators. The committee was satisfied with the quality of the audit concluded and has nominated, for re-appointment at the annual general meeting, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. as the external auditor of Kaap Agri Limited for the financial year ending 30 September 2021 and Mr A Hugo as the designated individual registered auditor who will undertake the audit of Kaap Agri Limited on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., being the audit firm, as well as Mr A Hugo, being Kaap Agri's individual auditor for the 2020 financial year, have been accredited on the JSE list of auditors in terms of the criteria in the JSE Listings Requirements. As required by section 3.84(g)(iii) of the JSE Listings Requirements, the committee has satisfied itself that PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. and Mr A Hugo are suitable for reappointment as audit firm and appointment as individual auditor for the 2020 financial year, respectively, by considering, inter alia, the information stated in paragraph 22.15(h) of the JSE Listings Requirements.
ANNUAL REPORT
The committee has evaluated the annual report of the Company and Group for the year ended 30 September 2020, with specific consideration of the following significant financial reporting matters during the year:
- > the provision for doubtful debts recognised on trade receivables;
- > the business combinations in the current year; and
- > the provision for damaged, old and slow moving stock
- > renewal of lease periods
- > consideration of control in management agreements
- > goodwill impairment testing
The committee reviewed the estimates used and judgements made by management and determines whether they are reasonable in terms of the current macroeconomic climate and in line with assumptions utilised by comparable third parties.
Based on the information provided to the committee, the committee considers that the Group complies, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Companies Act, as amended, and IFRS.
OPINION
Given the functions and responsibilities of the committee, as well as the procedures referred to above, the Audit Committee is of the opinion that:
- > the Group's internal control measures and risk management are sufficient;
- > the experience and expertise of the Financial Director and the finance function was appropriate;
- > appropriate financial reporting procedures are in place and are operating;
- > the audit was performed with the necessary independence and competence;
- > the Company and Group annual financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations, the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guide issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, and
- > there are no other matters which are to be revealed to shareholders which have not been covered in the annual financial statements.

Independent auditor's report
To the shareholders of Kaap Agri Limited
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and separate financial position of Kaap Agri Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) as at 30 September 2020, and its consolidated and separate financial performance and its consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
What we have audited
Kaap Agri Limited's consolidated and separate financial statements set out on pages 15 to 84 comprise:
- > the consolidated and company statements of financial position as at 30 September 2020;
- > the consolidated income statement for the year then ended;
- > the consolidated and company statements of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
- > the consolidated and company statements of changes in equity for the year then ended;
- > the consolidated and company statements of cash flows for the year then ended; and
- > the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors' Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (IRBA Code) and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of financial statements in South Africa. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IRBA Code and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in South Africa. The IRBA Code is consistent with the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards).
Our audit approach Overview

Overall group materiality
> Overall group materiality: R19 million, which represents 5% of consolidated profit before tax.
Group audit scope
- > Full scope audits were performed for all five individually significant components; and
- > Analytical procedures were performed over the remaining non-significant components.
Key audit matters
- > Acquisition of fuel sites;
- > Goodwill impairment assessment; and
- > Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated and separate financial statements. In particular, we considered where the directors made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
| Overall group materiality | R19 million. |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | 5% of consolidated profit before tax. |
| Rationale for themateriality benchmarkapplied | We chose consolidated profit before tax as the benchmark because,in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance ofthe Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generallyaccepted benchmark. We chose 5% which is consistent with quantitativemateriality thresholds used for profit orientated companies in this sector. |
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Our scoping included five components, which were either financially significant components, based on contribution to consolidated profit before tax, or components of which an identified financial statement line item or items were considered to be significant. Full scope audits were performed on these components. The remainder of the components were considered to be non-significant, individually and in aggregate. We performed analytical procedures on these remaining nonsignificant components.
All work was performed by the centralised engagement team (group engagement team) and our audit did not require the involvement of component auditors.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters in respect of the separate financial statements to communicate in our report.
Acquisition of fuel sites
(Refer to notes 43 (Business combinations) and note 4 of the accounting policies to the consolidated financial statements)
During the current financial year, the Group acquired seven separate fuel sites and one Quick Service Restaurant for a total consideration of R257 million. The acquisition resulted in the recognition at fair value of total net assets amounting to R84 million and goodwill of R174 million. Total assets assumed at fair value consisted mainly of land and buildings, including the site licence, of R91 million. Management performed the purchase price allocation as required by IFRS 3, Business Combinations.
We considered the accounting for the acquisition of fuel sites to be a matter of most significance to our current year audit due to the following:
- > the judgement and estimates involved in allocating the purchase price to the net assets identified in the business combinations; and
- > the valuation of the assets requiring specialist skills and knowledge.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We obtained the purchase price allocation prepared by management. Based on discussions with management, reading the purchase agreements and applying our understanding of the business and industry, we critically assessed the process followed for the identification of the assets and liabilities acquired, including assessment of the completeness thereof.
We made use of our understanding of the industry to assess whether the properties related to the fuel sites can operate without the required site licenses and found that it is not the case. Where applicable, we inspected the relevant site licenses to evaluate whether these have been obtained as required. We assessed the useful lives of site licenses based on our understanding of the industry and inspection of the relevant contractual agreements, and based on our work performed, we accepted management's conclusion that these licenses have indefinite useful lives. As these licenses were found to have similar useful lives as the land that it relates to (being indefinite) we accepted management's view that it is appropriate for the site licenses to be recognised together with the land that it relates to.
Utilising our valuation expertise, we assessed the valuation performed by management in determining the fair value of the properties, including the site license. We tested the valuation of the buildings by independently agreeing the inputs used to external sources. Based on our work performed, we noted that the methodology followed is consistent with industry norms and accepted the inputs and assumptions used by management, taking into account the historical performance of the individual fuel sites.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Goodwill impairment assessment
(Refer to note 5 (Intangible assets) and note 4 of the accounting policies to the consolidated financial statements)
The Group's net assets include goodwill amounting to R455 million as at 30 September 2020.
Management performs annual impairment tests to assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill. The assessment in the current year was performed using value-in-use calculations for the relevant fuel clusters and for Partridge Building Supplies cash generating unit (CGU).
Management performed a sensitivity analysis on the goodwill balance by varying the key assumptions used (i.e. discount rates and growth rates) to assess the impact on the valuation and the available headroom.
We considered the impairment assessment of goodwill to be a matter of most significance to our audit due to the following:
- > The estimates and assumptions applied by management in their impairment assessment;
- > The magnitude of the goodwill balance.
We held discussions with management to obtain an understanding of the methodology applied in performing its impairment test for each of the relevant CGUs and we found the approach adopted by management in the valuation models to be consistent with market practice and the applicable requirements of IAS 36: Impairment of assets.
We tested management's calculation for each model by:
- > Tested the mathematical accuracy of management's impairment calculations, and noted no exceptions.
- > Using our valuation expertise, we challenged management's key assumptions by comparing terminal growth rates and discount rates to industry benchmarks and economic forecasts. Management's assumptions fell outside our independent range, however we noted no material impairment when using our independent inputs.
- > We agreed cash flows to the business plans approved by the respective boards. No inconsistencies were noted.
- > In assessing management's forecasts for reasonableness, we considered the historical accuracy of forecasts by comparing the actual results for the current year to the original forecasts. Where variances were noted, we followed up with management and assessed the reasonability of the variances. We noted no aspects in this regard requiring further consideration.
We performed independent sensitivity calculations on the impairment assessments in order to ascertain the impact of changes to the key assumptions on the available headroom. The results of our sensitivity analyses were consistent with management's conclusions.
Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases
(Refer to note 4 (Leases), note 44 (Change in accounting policies) and note 20 of the accounting policies to the consolidated financial statements)
The balance of the right-of-use assets as at 1 October 2019 is R163 million and the lease liability is R184 million.
IFRS 16, Leases became effective in the current accounting period. The Group adopted IFRS 16 with effect from 1 October 2019 and elected not to restate its comparative information, as permitted by this standard. Accordingly, using the modified retrospective approach, the impact of IFRS 16 has been applied retrospectively with an adjustment to the Group's opening retained earnings on 1 October 2019.
The adoption of IFRS 16 was performed based on a number of estimates and judgements, which primarily included determination of the appropriate discount rates (incremental borrowing rates) and the lease term for each lease. The Group's lease contracts may include extension options which are included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the extension option.
We considered the adoption of IFRS 16 to be a matter of most significance to our current year audit due to the following:
- > The level of estimation and judgement applied in the adopting the new standard; and
- > The magnitude of the balances.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We performed the following audit procedures:
Through discussions with management, we obtained an understanding of the judgements and assumptions used by management in the adoption of IFRS 16.
We obtained an understanding of the method followed by management in determining the incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation. We compared the rate used by management to third party resources and noted no material differences.
For a sample of leases, we tested the accuracy of the underlying lease data by agreeing the leases to original contracts or other underlying information. No material differences were noted.
For a sample of leases, we evaluated the lease terms, including the renewal periods, where appropriate, by inspecting the underlying contracts and assessing management's judgements for the lease periods applied in the lease calculation with reference to historical store performance and management's future plans for the stores. We noted no aspects in this regard requiring further consideration.
We tested the completeness of the lease data by reconciling the data available in the Group's prior year operating lease commitments schedule, as well as the lease expenses recognised in the current year, to the lease data underpinning the IFRS 16 calculations. We further inspected significant service contracts previously not considered to be leases, and noted that these contracts did not fall within the scope of IFRS 16.
We recalculated the right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations for a sample of leases and tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations. We compared our results to that of management, noting no material exceptions.
We tested management's impairment calculation of the right-of-use asset on adoption by consideration of the value-in-use calculations performed by management. We assessed the cash flow forecasts used by management for reasonableness by comparing historical actuals to the budgeted forecasts. Based on our work performed, we accepted management's forecasts.
Utilising our valuation expertise, we further tested the reasonableness of the discount rate used in the value-in-use calculations, by calculating a range of independent discount rates based on relevant market data at year end. We compared management's discount rate used to our range of discount rates determined and found that management's rate fell within our range.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the document titled "Kaap Agri Limited and its Subsidiaries Annual Financial Statements – 30 September 2020", which includes the Directors' Report, the Report of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Declaration by the Company Secretary as required by the Companies Act of South Africa, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, and the other sections of the document titled "2020 – Integrated report", which is expected to be made available to us after that date. The other information does not include the consolidated or the separate financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated and separate financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated and separate financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the consolidated and separate financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated and separate financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and/or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
11
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- > Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- > Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Company's internal control.
- > Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
- > Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and / or Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- > Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- > Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Notes to the consolidated annual financial statements
for the year ended 30 September
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies incorporated in the preparation of these financial statements are set out on pages 70 to 84. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless stated otherwise.
2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and judgements concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom precisely equal the related actual results. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimates
Properties
Properties are depreciated over their useful lives, taking into account their residual values at the end of their useful lives. The residual values and useful lives are estimated and assessed based on industry knowledge and past experience with similar assets, taking into account the location and current condition of the properties. Properties are continuously maintained and kept up to standard. Refer to note 6 of the Group's accounting policy.
Loss allowance on trade receivables
In estimating the loss allowance on trade receivables, management makes certain estimates and judgements relating to the estimated recovery rate of debtors. This includes an assessment of current and expected future payment profiles and customer specific risk factors such as economic circumstances, geographical location and the value of security held. Refer to note 11 and 24 for more information.
Financial liabilities related to put options
The measurement of these financial instruments is based on various valuation calculations requiring estimated inputs and assumptions as disclosed in notes 13 and 14.
Judgements
Inventory provisions for slow-moving and obsolete stock
The Group makes certain judgements relating to the provision of inventory, based on the frequency of movement in different inventory types. This determines the rates applied per age bucket in calculating the inventory provision to be recognised.
Management agreements
Retail Fuel & Convenience site acquisitions are at various stages of conclusion. On these sites the Group enters into management agreements while waiting for regulatory approval for the retail site licenses. The group manages these sites under management agreements, but does not have the right to control the relevant activities. Therefore these sites are not consolidated in the Group.
Purchase, price allocations
Judgement is used in identifying intangible assets within a purchase price allocation and determining the fair value of the identified assets. Properties are valued by using experts through doing the net income capitalised approach, which is dependent on volumes and capitalisation rates. Refer to note 43 for the synergies listed that results in the recognition of goodwill in the business combination transactions as well as the considerations applied to other intangible assets.
Goodwill
The Group makes certain judgements relating to the impairment testing of goodwill, based on projections and assumed growth rates in income, expenses and terminal growth rates while using a pre-tax discount rate determined by management. These judgements are used to determine if an impairment of goodwill is applicable. Refer to note 5.
2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Judgements (continued)
Extension periods with regards to lease contracts
The Group makes certain judgements relating to the extension periods of leases during the IFRS 16 right-of-use asset and lease liabilities calculations. If it is more likely than not that the lease will be extended based on all the available factors, the extension option is taken into account in determining the lease. Most of the rent paid is for Agrimark stores and based on the history of the relationship with lessors and the Group's strategies with the stores, the contracts will be extended. Most of the store leases are renewed based on the fact that the stores are at strategic locations and most have been there for some time. It will disrupt business if moved to different locations. Where the lease is not beneficial to the Group, the extension option will not be applied. The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Group becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee. As at 30 September 2020, future cash outflows of R29,9 million are not included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably certain that it will be extended.
COVID-19 – considerations and potential impact
The COVID-19 ("Covid") outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections. Measures taken by various governments to contain the virus have affected economic activity. Except for, specifically, quick service restaurants ("QSR") and liquor sales, most of the remainder of the business of the Kaap Agri Group was categorised as a supplier of essential goods and services and remained open for trade, albeit under certain limitations during the lockdown. The move to levels 4, 3, 2 and 1 lockdown allowed the Group to gradually start trading in more retail product categories and opened all levels of offerings.
Fuel sales were significantly impacted by the lockdown-related reduction in travel and road transport, and despite restaurants reopening under level 3, QSR trade has been suppressed. Convenience store sales have been impacted by reduced footfall, as well as the inability to sell tobacco and related products. Fuel litre sales were down during the higher levels of lockdown. Management expects the recovery of the fuel business to continue with a gradual improvement in litres during the first quarter of the 2021 Financial Year. We expect normal levels to be achieved and maintained from February 2021.
The Group has taken a number of measures to monitor and prevent the effects of the COVID-19 virus, such as safety and health measures for our people and managing costs of the business. Refer to note 29 for COVID-19-related expenses disclosed.
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
The Group has assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and significant judgements made in the valuation of items of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets. Kaap Agri has a robust Response Plan in place to mitigate the pandemic's effects on its people and businesses as far as practically possible to do so. In this context, management does not anticipate that the effects of COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on the productivity of the Group's property, plant and equipment. In assessing the potential future impact of COVID-19 on the value of the items of property, plant and equipment, the following factors were considered:
- > most of the Group's different segments continued to provide goods and services to customers in essential services. Those businesses that were significantly impacted by restrictions on the movement of people and goods (namely Retail Fuel & Convenience) are resuming their activities as the restrictions ease. Given the anticipated benefits of optimisation initiatives undertaken and the expected return to normal trading in the medium term, no adverse effects on the present value of future cash flows of property, plant and equipment are foreseen, and
- > the Group is a going concern and plans to continue using items of property, plant and equipment to support its revenue-generating activities. Owing to this planned use of the assets, therefore, there has been no significant negative impact on the planned productivity of the assets.
Management expects that any changes in the carrying amounts of items of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets will be immaterial in the medium term.
2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
COVID-19 – considerations and potential impact (continued) Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets (continued)
Given the substantial capital investment into the business over the past three years, both into expansions and acquisitions, a decision was made in January 2020, prior to COVID-19, to limit the amount of capital being spent on projects and acquisitions in the process of completion as well as those that had been committed to. The Group has heightened its focus on driving the desired returns from capital already invested in the business. This decision was reinforced by the outbreak of COVID-19. The Group has also subsequently committed to reduced capital spend in the period till 30 September 2021.
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment by calculating the value-in-use of the CGU. The goodwill in the fuel division is monitored at a cluster level, refer to note 5 for more information regarding this.
Value-in-use was determined by discounting the future cash flows expected to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU or cluster and was based on key assumptions. The shortterm and long-term impact of Covid, has been incorporated in the impairment assessment of goodwill by taking it into account in the forecasts and cash flows figures in the discounted cash-flow models.
For each of the sensitive inputs, management provided the possible impact of decreased profitability on the headroom by testing different scenarios in the impairment calculation of goodwill.
A significant change in the assumptions used to calculate the value-in-use is not likely to cause the recoverable amount to fall below the carrying value of the CGUs.
Trade receivables
The assessment for the specific loss allowance takes into account security held, reputation and expected payments in the future to determine the value of the specific loss allowance. Based on the information gathered regarding the debtors, no material impact of COVID-19 was identified as the majority of the debtors book relates to customers classified as essential services. The expected credit loss rate was adjusted for the possible COVID-19 effect and applied to the outstanding group of debtors not specifically provided for. To arrive at the amount provided for expected credit loss allowance steps and considerations were taken by management as part of the forward-looking assessment to determine if the expected credit loss was affected specifically by the impact of COVID-19.
Loans receivable
Based on the information gathered going through the assessment of the COVID-19 effect on the loans receivable, no material impact was identified as the counterparty was also classified as essential service. For the remaining balance of the loans receivable sufficient security is held and no concern identified.
Inventories
Inventories consist of merchandise, raw materials, packaging materials and other consumable goods.
The following considerations were taken by management as part of the forward-looking assessment to determine if inventories were affected specifically by the impact of COVID-19:
> the risk of inventory write-downs to net realisable value due to reduced movement in inventory or inventory obsolescence due to possible lower than expected sales were assessed, but not deemed to have an material effect on the business.
Going concern
The Board will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's operations and its financial position. The impact of COVID-19 has been limited to certain areas of the business as mentioned above and while concerning, has not materially impacted the Group results. The business has been able to partially mitigate lost income via a range of cost and working capital initiatives, thus ensuring a lower overall financial impact. Liquidity has remained within the various banking covenants and no relaxation of covenants or additional facilities have been required. Revenue has largely recovered and although footfall remains down, the business is performing in line with expectation. The balance sheet has remained strong throughout the various lockdown levels. Kaap Agri remains focused on disciplined cash management, specifically in the areas of working capital, capital expenditure and cost control. Management is comfortable to conclude that the business will continue as a going concern and is very satisfied with the results the Group has delivered during a very challenging period.

The group's leasing activities and how these are accounted for
The group leases various retail stores, storage sites and forklifts. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of three to eight years but may have extension options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Until the 2019 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The leasehold improvements fall under the scope of IAS 16, but for presentation purpose, from the current year onwards, these are being presented as part of right of use assets.

To assess for impairment of goodwill, a value-in-use calculation was done per cash-generating unit ("CGU"). Using the budget as base data, income was increased with between 6% and 9,5% (2019: 6%) and expenses were increased between 5% and 9% (2019: 5%) for five years and a pre-tax discount rate of 9% to 11% (2019: 12% to 15%) was used. The pre-tax discount rate is lower as a result of a lower cost of capital. The growth rate is higher compared to the previous year based on strategic plans in place to focus on the growth of the sites in the clusters as well as having a lower base as a starting point with the 2020 results of the clusters. The expenses were grown with a higher rate than in the prior year as a result of agreed regulatory costs increases, high increases in municipal tariffs, as well as consistent maintenance spend to maintain high standards of all facilities. No indicators were noted that the calculation is sensitive to a reasonable change in assumptions which would indicate impairment. The most significant clusters to which goodwill has been allocated include the Eastern Cape cluster (carrying value of goodwill: R42,4 million) (2019: R42,4 million) and the Northern Province cluster (carrying value of goodwill: R254,9 million) (2019: R199,5 million) and Northern Cape cluster (carrying value of goodwill: R133,7 million) (2019: R15,0 million) calculated with a terminal growth rate of 6% (2019: 6%). The remaining clusters were also assessed for goodwill impairment and sufficient headroom noted. If the pre-tax discount rate is increased with 6% (2019: 10%), a portion of goodwill will be impaired. Even if the terminal growth rate is zero, no impairment is identified. The TFC acquisition strategy is cluster based, focusing on increasing scale in identified geographic locations, thus the goodwill is monitored for impairment based on these clusters. The fuel clusters are included in the Retail Fuel & Convenience segment.
The goodwill raised through the business combination with Partridge Building Supplies was tested for impairment using a value-in-use calculation. Using the budget as base data, income was increased between 9% to 12% (2019: 7% to 9%) and expenses were increased at 6% (2019: 6%) for five years and a discount rate of 10% (2019: 23%) and terminal growth rate of 6% (2019: 6%) were used. The pre-tax discount rate is lower as a result of a lower cost of capital. The growth rate is higher compared to the previous year based on strategic plans in place to focus on the growth of the business as well as having lower base as starting point with the 2020 results. No impairment was noted. There is sufficient headroom and an impairment only becomes applicable when the discount rate is increased to 33%.
No impairment noted as a result of COVID-19 – refer to note 2 for more information.

Kaap Agri (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd
The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the Namibian prime rate. There are no specific repayment terms. Repayment is determined by the shareholders as and when funds are available. Repayment of the loan will take place before any dividends are declared.
The expected credit loss allowance was assessed based on the exposure, probability of default and loss given default. The general model is followed in terms of IFRS 9. Strategies are in place to improve profitability and will lead to improved cashflows. As such, no expected credit loss provision has been created as this loan is considered fully recoverable in the future. A 12-month expected credit loss was considered, and no material loss allowance was identified. Refer to accounting policy note 8.
Lionshare Holdings (Pty) Ltd
The loan bears interest at prime plus 1,5%. The loan is repayable in yearly instalments after payment of a dividend by TFC Operations (Pty) Ltd, with final repayment on 28 February 2029.
The loan is secured by:
- > A first-ranking mortgage bond over the immovable property of C-Max Investments 71 (Pty) Ltd, held under Deed of Transfer T19459/2012.
- > A second-ranking mortgage bond over the immovable property of C-Max Investments 71 (Pty) Ltd, held under Deed of Transfer T51438/2014.
- > A suretyship agreement, binding itself, by C-Max Investments 71 (Pty) Ltd.
- > A suretyship agreement, binding itself, by Mezibase (Pty) Ltd.
The expected credit loss allowance was assessed based on the exposure and probability of default and loss given default, but based on the security value the expected credit loss allowance was considered immaterial. Refer to accounting policy note 8.

Included in the non-current portion of trade and other receivables are long term facilities granted to producers to assist in capital expansion related to the establishment and/or expansion of production. The nature of these accounts are the same as normal trade debtors. These facilities vary in duration between 2 and 5 years, are suitably secured and bear interest in line with the policies regarding interest for all trade receivables and are considered to be market related.
Deposits are early payments made on Retail Fuel & Convenience site acquisitions awaiting regulatory approval.
No expected credit loss allowance recognised on the deposits as these will be deducted from the final payment, thus fully recoverable.
Trade and other receivables are categorised as debt instruments at amortised cost.
The Group applies the simplified approach for providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables, the general model was used to identify any expected credit losses for other receivables and no loss allowance identified. No history of defaults on the other debtors and none expected in future as these balances carry very low credit risk. The majority is deposits paid to a reputable institution, SAFEX, in the Grain Services segment.
No impairment noted as a result of COVID-19 – refer to note 2 for more information.

A loss allowance is recognised for all receivables, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, and is monitored at the end of each reporting period. Refer to note 24 for the detail regarding the process for identifying the specific and contingency loss allowance. In addition to the loss allowance, receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, for example, when a debtor has been placed under liquidation. Receivables which have been written off are not subject to enforcement activities.
The carrying value of trade and other receivables approximates its fair value at the reporting date.

As part of the asset-for-share transaction in the prior year, the Group entered into a once off written put agreement, which became effective during the prior year, whereby C-Max Investments (Pty) Ltd may put their 23.5% shareholding in both TFC Operations (Pty) Ltd and TFC Properties (Pty) Ltd ("the TFC Companies") to Kaap Agri Bedryf Limited. This option shall not apply in the event that any of the TFC Companies are listed on the JSE. The put option is not exercisable prior to the end of the financial year ending 30 September 2021.
The value of the put option is based on the lower of the market value of TFC Operations (Pty) Ltd (which has been calculated with reference to the enterprise value to EBITDA ("EV/EBITDA") multiple of comparable listed companies, adjusted for company specific risk) and a value determined based on a recurring headline earnings multiple of the Kaap Agri Group (which has been performed by applying the current price to recurring headline earnings ("Price/ RHEPS") multiple of Kaap Agri, to the forecasted profit after tax). In the current year valuation, a multiple of between 4 and 6 times (2019: 4 and 6 times) was used and a discount rate of 8% – 9% (2019: 10%).
The market value of the shares in TFC Properties (Pty) Ltd is determined using a market related capitalisation rate based on the underlying properties held. In the current year valuation, a capitalisation rate of 10% (2019: 10%) was used and a discount rate of 8% – 9% (2019: 10%).
The amount that may become payable under the option on exercise date is initially recognised at the present value of the value as determined in line with the principles outlined above. The corresponding charge is accounted for directly as a reduction in the parent's equity since the risks and rewards of the shares have not been transferred to the parent until the option is exercised. The liability is subsequently adjusted for changes in the estimated market value and increased/decreased up to the amount that is payable at the date at which the option is exercised. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognised with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The financial liability has been designated at fair value through profit or loss because the put option obligation varies with changes in TFC's share price. Any changes in the future fair value of the liability will be accounted for in the income statement. A 1% change in the discount rate will change the liability and profit before tax by R2,6 million (2019: R3 million). A 0.5 change in the multiple will change the liability and profit before tax by R12 million (2019: 13.7 million).

Through the acquisition of the 60% shareholding in Partridge Building Supplies (Pty) Ltd in the prior year, the Group entered into a once-off written put agreement over the remaining 40% interest in the afore-mentioned company. The option is exercisable after the finalisation of the Financial Statements for the year ending 30 September 2021 and the consideration on exercise will be determined based on the growth ratio (determined as the actual/forecasted EBITDA divided by the targeted EBITDA over the period determined), net debt value and EBITDA figures of Partridge Building Supplies (Pty) Ltd at that time. The exercise price is formula based. In the current year valuation, a growth ratio of between 60% and 65% (2019: 60% – 65%) was used and an EBITDA multiple of 6.5 times (2019: 6.5 times).
The amount that may become payable under the option on exercise date is initially recognised at the present value of the redemption amount. The corresponding charge is accounted for directly as a reduction in the parent's equity since the risks and rewards have not been transferred to the parent until the option is exercised. The liability is subsequently adjusted for changes in the estimated performance and increased/decreased up to the redemption amount that is payable at the date at which the option is exercised. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognised with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
Given that the fair value of the liability varies with non-financial variables that are specific to the parties in the contract, management has classified this put option as a financial liability at amortised cost.
A 10% increase in the growth ratio will change the liability and profit before tax by R3,9 million (2019: R4,2 million).
At year end, the value of the Put Option Liability of Partridge Building Supplies (Pty) Ltd decreased as the revised forecast up to the date that the option becomes exercisable was lower at year end than initially anticipated. The goodwill raised through the business combination was tested for impairment and no impairment noted, refer to note 5 for more information.

Fair value of options granted
The fair value of the grant is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using six different inputs that would have an effect on the fair value of the grant. The inputs are the exercise price of the option, the share price at grant date, the expected life of the option, the expected volatility, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. During the year, the second tranche of the 1 October 2016 and first tranche of the 20 March 2018 grants vested. No share options were forfeited.

The purpose of the Equity Settled Management Share Incentive Scheme ("the scheme") is to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire shares in the Company through the grant of rights, in order to promote and enable the retention and attraction of exceptional talent and to align the interests of the management of the company and group companies more closely with the shareholders of the Company. In terms of the scheme, grants are allocated to participants taking into account each participants annual cost to company ("CTC"), a factor of CTC based on the nature and level of their position and the share price. The number of shares that a participant will become eligible for at vesting date will be calculated at the time of vesting based on the growth in the share price between the date of grant and the entitlement date, less employee tax. A participants entitlement to settlement in the ordinary shares in the company in terms of the rights granted shall be in equal 25% annual tranches from the first day of the second financial year commencing after date of grant onwards. During the current year 1 787 893 new grants were issued and 340 746 grants vested. The number of shares that may be utilised for the purposes of the scheme shall not exceed 3 700 000 shares with no single individual being entitled to more than 1 235 000 shares.

24 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks like market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
The accounting policy for financial instruments are applied to the following line items according to the statement of financial position: trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial liabilities at amortised cost, derivative financial instruments, cash and cash equivalents, loans, trade and other payables and borrowings, finance lease liabilities and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
The carrying value according to the statement of financial position differs from the values disclosed in this note because of items included in the carrying value according to the statement of financial position which do not meet the definition of a financial instrument or which are excluded from the scope of IFRS 7: Financial instruments: Disclosures. These items include statutory receivable (VAT) amounts of R34,8 million (2019: R38.8 million), statutory liabilities of R11,4 million (2019: R9,4 million) and liabilities in respect of employee benefits of R23,1 million (2019: R24,1 million).
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar and the Euro. Foreign exchange risk primarily arises from inventory and asset purchases in other countries. Forward exchange contracts are used to manage the foreign exchange risk.
Kaap Agri (Aussenkehr) (Pty) Ltd is currently the only foreign subsidiary within the Group. The functional currency of Kaap Agri (Aussenkehr) (Pty) Ltd is the Namibian dollar. The exchange rate between the Namibian dollar and South African rand is fixed at 1 Namibian dollar for 1 South African rand. Consequently no foreign exchange rate differences arises due to the translation of this foreign subsidiary.
All imports in foreign currency are hedged with corresponding foreign exchange contract asset and liability and reserves addressed. No effect on profit and loss, thus foreign currency risk is managed through hedge accounting.
Market risk (continued)
Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group finances its operations through a combination of shareholders' funds and bank borrowings. The Group's interest rate exposure and the effective interest rates can be summarised as follows:

Price risk
The Group is involved in the trading of grain commodities in order to optimise the utilisation of its silo infrastructure. It is the Group's intent to hedge any price risk arising from fluctuations in commodity prices during the trading of grain commodities. The Group uses commodity contracts, option contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the commodity price risk. Commodities are hedged within the limits approved by the Board of directors. The hedging policy is sufficiently flexible to allow management to rapidly adjust hedges following possible changes in the commodity market.
Equity price risk
The equity price risk exposure arises from the investment made in Signafi Capital (Pty) Ltd shares. Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities decrease or increase as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. During the current year the investment was purchased at year end, thus the value paid is treated as the fair value of the investment. Refer to note 7 for the investment. A 10% difference in the share price could effect other comprehensive income with R558 000.
Credit risk
Potential concentrations of credit risk consist mainly within cash and cash equivalents, deposits, all other receivables, loans receivables and trade debtors.
In terms of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments, all financial assets at amortised cost need to be assessed for expected credit losses. Refer to the accounting policy note 8 for more information.
The Group limits its counter party exposures arising from cash current accounts by only dealing with well-established financial institutions of high-quality credit standing. Refer to note 15.
Expected credit loss allowances on cash and cash equivalents, deposits and all other receivables were assessed based on the general model and no expected credit loss allowance was created as this was immaterial.
Trade receivables
Trade debtors consist of a large number of clients, the majority of whom are long standing reputable clients with strong trading history with the business. Clients are well diversified across geographical regions as well as product types, thus lowering the concentration risk. The cash flows are also spread throughout the year as the clients are well diversified and the different product types results in different seasons with the cash flows, not happening all at one point in time, thus lowering the concentration risk. Credit is granted to customers in the form of facilities to purchase from Kaap Agri outlets and not in the form of loan funding. The terms of credit is monthly to seasonal accounts plus limited establishment credit (longer term).
Trade receivables (continued)
Credit terms, interest rates and other applicable terms are determined based on the calculated risk profile of the credit taker(s). A strict credit policy is followed which includes the ongoing revision of credit limits, security assessments and credit evaluations of the financial position of clients. The credit policy is approved by the finance committee, which meets three times per year to review the credit positions. The largest credit default risks are associated with natural causes or sequestration and are mitigated through these actions. The Group is of the opinion that these measures reduce residual credit risk to acceptable levels. Considering that the vast majority of the trade debtors are associated with the agricultural sector, the recoverability of these financial assets can be negatively influenced by natural disasters, consecutive poor production seasons and lower than expected commodity prices. These factors have been taken into consideration on an individual and collective basis when determining the recoverability of debtors. Steps for collection are immediately implemented if a debtor does not conform to his limit or repayment terms.
The Group has a specific expected credit loss allowance and a contingency expected credit loss allowance. Refer to note 8 in the accounting policy for more information.
| 2020R'000 | 2019R'000 | |

| The total expected credit loss allowance is made up of– specific expected credit loss allowance– contingency expected credit loss allowance | (43 440)(7 191) | (38 001)(6 224) |

The credit risks related to trade debtors are further limited by taking up a wide range of securities as shown below. The nature of the security held is a determining factor in the size of the facility granted, as well as to the value attributed to such security in the credit risk assessment. The amount of securities are determined based on the type of security. The securities that are readily convertible into cash, are for example bank guarantees, deed of pledge, cessions and bonds.
The spread across the different forms of security:
| Surety | Guarantee/indemnity | Bond | Cession | General | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security type – 2020 | 54% | 9% | 14% | 19% | 4% |
| Security type – 2019 | 53% | 11% | 15% | 18% | 3% |
General securities include bank guarantees and credit guarantees.
The default rate of bad debt written off was 0.16% in 2020, 0.29% in 2019 and 0.10% in 2018.
Trade debtors are presented net of the loss allowance recognised. Interest on trade debtors is calculated on a base rate plus a factor for the risk associated with each client. Overdue debtors incur a penalty interest charge.
Trade debtors are divided into the following categories: Debtors within terms and not credit impaired, Debtors outside terms but not credit impaired and Debtors which are credit impaired. The identification of the respective risk categories is based on the agricultural commodity sectors in which the respective debtors operate. Debtors within a specific agricultural commodity sector are considered to have similar risk characteristics.

Liquidity risk
In order to mitigate any liquidity risk that the Group may face, the Group's policy has been to maintain substantial unutilised banking facilities and reserve borrowing capacity. The Group tends to have significant fluctuations in short-term borrowings due to seasonal factors. Consequently the Group policy requires that sufficient borrowing facilities are available to exceed projected peak borrowings.

Capital maintenance
The company considers total equity, which includes share capital, reserves and treasury shares, as capital. The ratio between capital and debt is the capital ratio. Debt includes shortterm borrowings. The Group's objective with the management of the capital ratio is to ensure that the Group continues to trade as a going concern and to create wealth for its shareholders and other stakeholders. The influence on the capital ratio is considered with decisions on the declaration of dividends, repurchase of shares, issue of shares, purchase and disposal of assets and investments and the acquiring or repayment of debt. The movement in capital is presented in the Statement of changes in equity.

43 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In line with the Group's growth strategy to acquire businesses in the fuel sector, certain retail fuel operations and in some instances accompanying retail fuel properties were acquired. If no property was acquired, the retail licence was obtained and thus the operations were acquired and still treated as business combinations under IFRS 3. Goodwill on acquisition was paid on these businesses which represent synergies within the Group and have future earnings potential.
- > Alignment and improvement of supplier and service provider trading terms and service level agreements, both fuel and non-fuel related
- > Ability to convert fuel brand offering to preferred supply
- > Enhanced logistics, both fuel and non-fuel related
- > Ability to add or convert convenience store and quick service restaurant offerings
- > Alignment of franchise trading terms
- > Utilisation of Group shared services, including information management, finance, human resources, property management and internal audit
- > Shared regional operational structures
- > Improved skills transfer and succession planning
Improved synergies contribute to either a lower cost per litre to serve or a higher cents per litre income thus enhancing returns on invested capital.
A purchase price allocation as required by IFRS 3 – Business combinations was performed and no intangible assets were identified, other than fuel site operating licenses. The site licenses are considered to be identifiable due to arising from contractual/legal rights, with an indefinite useful life. The site license useful life is assessed to be indefinite as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to generate net cash flows for the Group. The site licenses do not require any renewals or renewal payments and the Group expects to continue selling fuel products indefinitely from the businesses acquired. The licenses are grouped with the land that it relates to as one asset as these assets have similar useful lives, being indefinite. The Group assessed all intangible assets that can typically be expected in a business combination of this nature, the most relevant of which are tradenames and customer relations. No tradename was recognised as there was no tradename acquired as part of these transactions. In addition, any payments made in relation to the brand are considered to be market related. No customer relations were recognised as the Group did not acquire any customer list, they are commercial sites offering products to clients that could be purchased anywhere.

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases on the Group's financial statements.
The Group adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively from 1 October 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening statement of financial position on 1 October 2019. The new accounting policies are disclosed in note 21 of the accounting policies.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at 1 October 2019 being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group uses recent third-party financing received by the lessee as a starting point and adjusts the rate to reflect changes in financing conditions since the third-party financing was received. The Group also makes adjustments to the rate relating to the specific lease based on the term and security and nature of the asset. This was applied per asset to determine the value of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 October 2019 were as follows and applied to assets of similar nature:
Range of rates used based on type of asset 8,75% to 9,35%
The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments over the period of the lease at the incremental borrowing rate measured at 1 October 2019. The right-of-use asset, for all leases, is measured using the IBR at the date of initial application, retrospectively as if IFRS 16 had always been applied with an adjustment to retained earnings.
46 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Practical expedients applied
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- > Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
- > Accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months at 1 October 2019 as short-term leases;
- > Excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and
- > Using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date, the Group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Impact on retained earnings (12 359)
* The operating lease commitments for Partridge Building Supplies were omitted in the prior year disclosure. The reconciliation was incorrectly disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements. The variance is due to a change in interpretation in applying the extension periods of lease values as well as. The updated discounted cash flows indicated that no impairment of the right-ofuse assets is required. The incorrect transition method was also mentioned in the interim financial statements, but correctly applied namely that right-of-use assets were measured fully retrospectively as if IFRS 16 has always been applied.
47 RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS
Reclassification between operating expenses and cost of sales
Internal distribution costs incurred by the distribution centre, included under operating, administration, selling and distribution expenses instead of cost of sales in the prior year have been reclassified to cost of sales to better reflect the nature of these expenses. The classification error had no impact on the profit for the prior year or on the costing of inventory as these costs were correctly included in the build up of inventory.
The effect on the income statement for 2019 is set out below:

48 GOING CONCERN
Based on the financial statements, the present financial position of the Group, budgets for the coming year and available financing facilities, the directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern. The going concern principle is therefore accepted and applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Refer to note 2 for the impact of COVID-19.
49 EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE
A gross final dividend of 50,00 cents per share (2019: 90,00 cents) has been approved and declared by the Board from income reserves, for the period ended 30 September 2020.
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that occurred since the end of the financial year up to the date of this report that has not been dealt with in the report or financial statements and which may have a significant influence on the activities of the Group or the results of those activities.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 September
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies incorporated in the preparation of these financial statements, are set out on pages 70 to 84, these are consistent with that of the Group unless otherwise indicated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. There are no areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements of the company.

| Kaap Agri Bedryf Limited | (7) | 1 820 |
The carrying value of the loan approximates its fair value at the reporting date.
The loan is unsecured, interest-free and there are no specific repayment terms.
The expected credit loss allowance was assessed based on the exposure and probability of default. The general model is followed in terms of IFRS 9. As the counter party generates significant cash flows, there is no indication that the loan will not be recoverable in the future. A 12-month expected credit loss was considered, and no loss allowance was identified. The gross movement in the loan is reflected in the cash flow statement. Although the company does not have its own bank account, Kaap Agri Bedryf Limited is considered to act as the agent of the company in administrating its cash flows.

The company considers total equity, which includes share capital and reserves, as capital. The ratio between capital and debt is the capital ratio. The company's objective with the management of the capital ratio is to ensure that the company continues to trade as a going concern and to create wealth for its shareholders and other stakeholders. The influence on the capital ratio is considered with decisions on the declaration of dividends, repurchase of shares, issue of shares, purchase and disposal of assets and investments and the acquiring or repayment of debt. The movement in capital is presented in the Statement of changes in equity.

9 GOING CONCERN
Based on the financial statements, the present financial position of the Company and budgets for the coming year, the directors have no reason to believe that the company will not be a going concern. The going concern principle is therefore accepted and applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
10 EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE
A gross final dividend of 50,00 cents per share (2019: 90,00 cents) has been approved and declared by the Board from income reserves, for the period ended 30 September 2020.
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that occurred since the end of the financial year up to the date of this report that has not been dealt with in the report or financial statements and which may have a significant influence on the activities of the company or the results of those activities.
Accounting policies to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 September
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Annual Financial Statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations, the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guide issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council. These financial statements incorporate accounting policies that have been consistently applied to all periods presented and are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year, with the exception of the adoption of the IFRS 16: Leases. The impact of the implementation of these standards is disclosed in note 46. Various other changes in IFRS became effective for the financial year under review, but did not impact the Group. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in the notes of the accounting policies.
2 NEW, AMENDED AND IMPROVED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE DURING THE CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted by the Group and became effective for the current reporting period beginning on 1 October 2019:
Amendments to Standards
> Amendments to IFRS 9 – 'Financial instruments' on prepayment features with negative compensation and modification of financial liabilities (effective 1 January 2019)
How to account for the modification of a financial liability. The amendment confirms that most such modifications will result in immediate recognition of a gain or loss. This is a change from common practice under IAS 39 today and will affect all kinds of entities that have renegotiated borrowings.
> IFRS 16 – Leases (effective 1 January 2019 – earlier application permitted if IFRS 15 is also applied)
This standard replaces the current guidance in IAS 17 and is a far reaching change in accounting by lessees in particular. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). IFRS 16 now requires lessees to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a 'right-of-use asset' for virtually all lease contracts. The IASB has included an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. For lessors, the accounting stays almost the same. However, as the IASB has updated the guidance on the definition of a lease (as well as the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts), lessors will also be affected by the new standard. At the very least, the new accounting model for lessees is expected to impact negotiations between lessors and lessees. Under IFRS 16, 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.
2 NEW, AMENDED AND IMPROVED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE DURING THE CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR (CONTINUED)
Amendments to Standards (continued)
> Amendments to IAS 19, 'Employee benefits' on plan amendment, curtailment or settlement (effective 1 January 2019)
Use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement; and recognise in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus (recognised or unrecognised). This reflects the substance of the transaction, because a surplus that has been used to settle an obligation or provide additional benefits is recovered. The impact on the asset ceiling is recognised in other comprehensive income, and it is not reclassified to profit or loss. The impact of the amendments is to confirm that these effects are not offset.
> Amendments to IAS 28, 'Investments in associates and joint ventures' – long-term interests in associates and joint ventures (effective 1 January 2019)
The amendments clarified that companies account for long-term interests in an associate or joint venture, to which the equity method is not applied, using IFRS 9. The amendments are effective from 1 January 2019, with early application permitted.
> Annual improvements cycle 2015 – 2017 (effective 1 January 2019)
These amendments include minor changes to:
IFRS 3, 'Business combination' – a company remeasures its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business.
IFRS 11, 'Joint arrangements' – a company does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business.
IAS 12, 'Income taxes' – The amendment clarified that the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognised according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits were recognised.
IAS 23, 'Borrowing costs' – a company treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
> IFRIC 23, 'Uncertainty over income tax treatments' (effective 1 January 2019)
IFRIC 23 provides a framework to consider, recognise and measure the accounting impact of tax uncertainties. The Interpretation provides specific guidance in several areas where previously IAS 12 was silent. The Interpretation also explains when to reconsider the accounting for a tax uncertainty. Most entities will have developed a model to account for tax uncertainties in the absence of specific guidance in IAS 12.
Other than for the adoption of IFRS 16, none of the new standards, amendments, improvements and interpretations of existing standards mentioned above, that have been published, had any material effect on the financial statements of the Group. For an analysis of the impact on adoption of IFRS 16, refer to note 46 of the Group financial statements.
3 NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS THAT ARE NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group (the effective dates stated below refer to financial reporting periods beginning on or after the stated dates):
Amendments to Standards
> Amendment to IAS 1, 'Presentation of financial statements' and IAS 8, 'Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors' on the definition of material (effective 1 January 2020)
These amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 and consequential amendments to other IFRSs: use a consistent definition of materiality through IFRSs and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting; clarify the explanation of the definition of material; and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial information.
3 NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS THAT ARE NOT YET EFFECTIVE (CONTINUED)
Amendments to Standards (continued)
> Amendment to IFRS 3, 'Business combinations' – Definition of a business (effective 1 January 2020)
This amendment revises the definition of a business. According to feedback received by the IASB, application of the current guidance is commonly thought to be too complex, and it results in too many transactions qualifying as business combinations. More acquisitions are likely to be accounted for as asset acquisitions.
To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The new guidance provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present (including for early stage companies that have not generated outputs). To be a business without outputs, there will now need to be an organised workforce.
Management assessed the change in IFRS 3 and expects no material change as the type of acquisitions currently entered into will still be treated as a business in the amended standard.
> Amendments to IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments', IAS 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' and IFRS 7, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Interest rate benchmark reform' (effective 1 January 2020)
These amendments provide certain reliefs in connection with interest rate benchmark reform (IBOR). The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that IBOR should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. However, any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the income statement.
Management considered all new accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to IFRS that were issued prior to 30 September 2020 but not yet effective on that date.
During this financial year, the group considered the significant accounting policies, including the implementation of IFRS 16. Please refer to note 4 and note 46 in the group financial statements.
4 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments either in profit or loss or as a charge to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
4 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION (CONTINUED)
Subsidiaries (continued)
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
In the stand-alone financial statements of the holding company, the investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investments.
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, that is, transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in equity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset.
In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Treasury shares
The cost of treasury shares is presented as a deduction from equity. Shares under option already allocated to employees and unallocated shares are considered as treasury shares and are consolidated as such as part of the Group's results.
Joint ventures
Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits and losses and movements in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests, that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
4 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION (CONTINUED)
Consolidation of Special Purpose Entities
The special purpose entities ("SPE's") established in terms of the B-BBEE equity transaction implemented in 2011 have been consolidated in the Group results. The substance of the relationship between the company and these entities has been assessed and the conclusion was made that they are controlled entities, mainly due to the fact that the Group retains residual or ownership risks relating to the SPE's.
Goodwill
Goodwill is determined as the consideration paid, plus the fair value of any shareholding held prior to obtaining control, plus non-controlling interest and less the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in Intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates/joint venture is included in investment in associated companies/joint ventures. Separately recognised goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Customer relations
Customer relations consist of non-contractual customer relationships. Customer relations acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. The customer relations have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment. Amortisation is calculated on the straight-line method to allocate the cost of customer relations over the estimated useful life of five years.
Tradename
A tradename has been recognised by the Group as part of a business combination. Tradenames are capitalised at the fair value initially identified and amortised on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years. Tradenames are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment. Expenditure to maintain tradenames is accounted for against income as incurred.
5 SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and is therefore considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Group.
6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Land and buildings mainly comprise retail outlets, offices and silos. Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost to a value equal to the residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows :
| Buildings | 50 years |
|---|---|
| Grain silos | 10 – 50 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 4 – 10 years |
| Injection moulding machines | 5 – 20 years |
| Vehicles | 4 – 5 years |
| Office furniture and equipment | 2 – 10 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Period of lease |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amounts and are included in the income statement as other operating income or other operating expenses.
7 IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
8 FINANCIAL ASSETS
From 1 October 2018 (on adoption of IFRS 9), the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: Financial assets measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), or through profit or loss (FVPL)); and Financial assets measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual term of the cash flows. Management determines the classification of its investment at initial recognition. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in relation to the instrument held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) are recognised in OCI in the Statement of comprehensive income. Where management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit and loss. Upon derecognition of these equity investments, any balance within the FVOCI reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other gains and losses when the Group's right to receive payments is established. Currently the Group has elected to designate equity instruments at FVOCI.
8 FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are two measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income under other operating income using the effective interest rate method. Trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable are classified as debt instruments measured at amortised cost.
Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and presented in the income statement as part of other gains and losses in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income. Debt instruments are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets.
Impairment
The Group has the following financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss impairment model in terms of IFRS 9:
- > Trade and other receivables
- > Loans receivable
- > Cash and cash equivalents
The Group determines loss allowances by taking into account available forward looking information which could adversely impact a debtor's ability to pay.
Financial assets subject to impairment are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery and the amount is recognised in profit or loss within 'operating expenses'.
Trade receivables
The Group elected to apply the simplified approach for measuring impairment provisions for trade receivables. In terms of this approach, the loss allowances are calculated with reference to lifetime ECLs. The Group determines expected credit loss allowances both on a specific (credit impaired) and a contingency (not credit impaired) basis.
Credit terms, interest rates and other applicable terms are determined based on the calculated risk profile of the credit taker(s). A strict credit policy is followed which includes the ongoing revision of credit limits, security assessments and credit evaluations of the financial position of clients. These factors have been taken into consideration on an individual and collective basis when determining the recoverability of debtors. The Group has a specific loss allowance and a contingency loss allowance. The group defines "outside terms" debtors as all debtors more than 90 days outside terms. The specific loss allowance is determined on all "outside terms" debtors as their risks are different than the rest of the debtors book within terms and they are assessed individually. The assessment for the specific loss allowance takes into account security held, reputation and expected payments in the future to determine the value of the specific loss allowance. Regarding the contingency loss allowance, the group divides the rest of the debtors book (after taking into account the specific loss allowance) into different categories with risk factors applied to each category. The categories are based on different type of produce commodities mostly in the agricultural sector (grain, fruit, other agri and non-agri). The percentage expected credit loss applied to each category depends on the forward looking risk of default and expectations on macro-economic factors including; market share, competitor strength, industry risk, profitability, price volatility risks and climate changes.
8 FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)
Other financial assets
Loss allowances relating to loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents and deposits and other receivables are determined in terms of the general expected credit loss model, taking into account a 12-month expected credit loss.
In terms of this model the Group considers whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date compared to the credit risk at initial recognition date. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information that could be indicative of a deterioration in the counterparty's ability to pay. The Group assesses factors such as credit ratings, actual/adverse conditions in the industry or changes in value of security held.
For these financial assets, the Group accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses. In calculating the expected credit loss rates, the Group considers the exposure at default, probability of default and loss given default. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 and at the end of the reporting period was not material for other financial assets.
9 DEFERRED TAXATION
Deferred taxation is provided, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values. However, deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates / joint venture, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
10 INVENTORY
Merchandise, raw materials and consumable goods are valued at the lower of cost, calculated on the average cost basis, or net realisable value, taking into account obsolescence and saleability. Implement stock (included in merchandise) is valued at the specific cost price or net realisable value, whichever is the lower. Finished goods (included in merchandise) are valued at the lower of cost, including cost of raw materials, direct costs and related production overheads, but excluding finance costs, determined on the average cost basis, or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expenses.
11 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivatives are designated as hedging instruments, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities (fair value hedge) or hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest rate method is used, is amortised to profit or loss over the period to maturity.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at the time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.
Certain derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.
12 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and positive bank balances. Bank borrowings are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
13 BORROWINGS
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
14 STATED CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Additional costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Where any company in the Group purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable additional costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Group's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, re-issued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or re-issued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable additional transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Group's shareholders.
15 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Pension scheme arrangements
The Group operates a pension fund consisting of a defined contribution plan registered in terms of the Pension Funds Act, 1956, and the assets are administered separately by trustees. Funding is in terms of conditions of employment by means of contributions by the participating subsidiaries in the Group as well as employees. The Group has no further obligations to the fund once the contributions have been paid. Contributions are recognised in the income statement when they are due.
Post-retirement medical benefits
Certain in-service members and retired employees are members of the post-retirement medical subsidy scheme of the Group. The Group pays the monthly contributions in respect of the retired members over to the medical fund. The valuation method used to value the liability is the projected unit method. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment, using an accounting methodology similar to that for defined benefit pension plans. Valuations of these obligations are carried out by independent qualified actuaries. Any actuarially determined profits or losses are recognised in the income statement.
In terms of the Group's present policy the benefits are only available to certain in-service members and retired staff and not to future employees.
Profit sharing and bonus plans
A liability for employee benefits in the form of profit sharing and bonus plans is recognised under accounts payable when there is no realistic alternative but to settle the liability, and at least one of the following conditions is met:
- > there is a formal plan; or
- > past practice has created a valid expectation by employees that they will receive a bonus or profit share.
It is expected that the liability will be paid within 12 months.
Equity settled management share incentive scheme
The Group operates an Equity settled management share incentive scheme ("the scheme"). In terms of IFRS 2, the fair value of the equity instrument is determined at grant date and the corresponding expense is recognised over the vesting period. The fair value of the grant is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using six different inputs that would have an effect on the fair value of the grant. The inputs are the exercise price of the option, the current share price, the expected life of the option, the expected volatility, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.
16 TRADE PAYABLES
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value. Trade payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
17 OFFSETTING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
18 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (IFRS 15) AND OTHER OPERATING INCOME
According to IFRS 15 applicable to the 2019 financial year, revenue is recognised at a point in time or over time depending on the performance obligations linked to separate elements of the contract with the customer. Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies performance obligations and transfers control of goods or services to its customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for these goods or services. The Group's revenue consists mostly of sales of products delivered to customers at the point of sale and does not have multiple element arrangements included in it. Therefore the timing and measurement of the group's revenue will not change as a result of the implementation of IFRS 15.
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown, net of value-added tax and trade discounts and after elimination of sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:
Sales of goods
The Group specialises in trading in agricultural-, fuel- and related retail markets in Southern Africa. At the point-of-sale in the trade and manufacturing environment, the client takes ownership of the goods bought. Revenue is thus recognised at that point when control of the products has transferred, the customer has accepted inventory risk related to the products and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products and the Group has a present right to payment. In these segments prices are determined centrally. Fuel sales follow the same principles as the client takes ownership once the product is sold and transferred to the customer. Fuel prices are regulated. Grain sales follow a similar process as over-the-counter sales as the product is delivered to the client and the revenue is recognised at that point in time when the customer takes ownership of the goods sold. Grain sales prices are based on fixed contract SAFEX prices. Invoicing occurs as soon as control of the goods has been transferred to the customer.
Revenue for the sale of merchandise from ordinary Group-operating activities, net of value added tax and trade discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group are recognised at a point in time, upon delivery of products and customer acceptance. Customers have a choice to pay cash (via cash, debit card or credit card) or on account. Related card transaction costs are recognised in the income statement as other expenses.
Payment terms for normal over the counter credit sales are mostly 30 days. Seasonal accounts are provided to agricultural debtors on longer terms, these terms do not exceed 12 months. Limited establishment accounts are also provided on longer terms (up to five years) with the purpose to assist the customer in establishing farming operations. Interest is charged on these accounts at market related rates and accounted for accordingly.
The adoption of IFRS 15 did not impact the Group's recognition of revenue from sale of goods.
Sales of services
Sale of services include grain handling revenue which is revenue received for the storage and handling of the clients grains. The other services are provided within the mechanisation division where labour is invoiced as a service to repair and maintain client's machinery or vehicles. Revenue received for these services is recognised over time. Revenue is recognised at a fair value (determined based on a fixed price per tonnage / hour charged) of services rendered and are invoiced on a regular basis as the services are rendered.
The adoption of IFRS 15 did not impact the Group's recognition of revenue from sale of services.
18 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (IFRS 15) AND OTHER OPERATING INCOME (CONTINUED)
Variable consideration
The Group assessed if the contracts entered into include variable consideration, but none were noted, other than trade discounts provided at the point-of-sale.
Margin on direct transactions
Direct sales relate to sales made, where goods purchased by clients are directly delivered to the client by the suppliers of the Group. Only the margin earned on direct sales is recognised as revenue. The margin is recognised on delivery of products by the supplier to the customer. The group assessed the treatment of these sales as agent or principal in terms of IFRS 15.
The supplier has the primary responsibility for providing the goods to the client.
Kaap Agri has no control before the product is delivered to the client, the Group does not recognise the inventory in their books.
The supplier takes the inventory risk up until inventory is delivered to the client.
All the indicators according to the standard indicate that the Group is acting as an agent, rather than a principal, thus the nett amount is recognised as revenue. Thus the treatment under IFRS 15 stays consistent to the prior year.
Other operating income is recognised as follows:
Interest income
Under IFRS 9, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance). When a receivable is written off, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount. Interest is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established and is treated as revenue for the company, but is not considered to be revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS 15).
19 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in rand, which is the holding company's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
20 LEASES (ACCOUNTING POLICY APPLIED UNTIL 30 SEPTEMBER 2019)
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Where assets are acquired under finance lease agreements that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the finance leases are capitalised at the lease's commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in finance lease liabilities. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
21 LEASES (ACCOUNTING POLICY APPLIED FROM 1 OCTOBER 2019)
The Group leases various retail stores, storage sites and vehicles. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 8 years but may have extension options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- > Fixed payments
- > Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is the case for leases in the Group, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- > The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
- > Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
21 LEASES (ACCOUNTING POLICY APPLIED FROM 1 OCTOBER 2019) (CONTINUED)
Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets mostly comprise information technology equipment and other similar assets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lowest of the lease term (including the extension period if applicable) or the useful life.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group uses recent third-party financing received by the lessee as a starting point and adjusts the rate to reflect changes in financing conditions since the third-party financing was received. The Group also makes adjustments to the rate relating to the specific lease based on the term and security and nature of the asset.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases across the Group. The majority of the extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered.
22 DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividend distributions to the company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved.
23 PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources which entail economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
24 BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset until such time as the asset is ready for its intended use. The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined as follows:
- > Actual borrowing costs on funds specifically borrowed for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset less any temporary investment of those borrowings.
- > Weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the entity on funds generally borrowed for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The borrowing costs capitalised do not exceed the total borrowing costs incurred.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when:
- > expenditures for the asset have occurred;
- > borrowing costs have been incurred, and
- > activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress.
Capitalisation is suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
25 CURRENT INCOME TAX
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
26 RECURRING HEADLINE EARNINGS
The Group monitors headline earnings as earnings less non-recurring costs. Non-recurring costs are defined as once-off costs or transactions as a result of ad hoc transactions or IFRS valuations that do not form part of ordinary business operations and which causes fluctuations year-on-year.
