Basis of presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30 2015.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30 2015.

Certain segments were reclassified during the year. The comparative year’s segmental information has been represented to reflect these insignificant changes.

Net acquisition of businesses, subsidiaries, associates and investments

There were no material acquisitions concluded during the year.

Commitments

The Group has commitments at June 30 of approved contracted capital expenditure of R568,7 million (2015: R407,2 million) and not contracted for capital expenditure of R939,4 million (2015: R989,6 million). It is anticipated that capital expenditure will be financed out of existing cash resources.

Financial instruments

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques categorised as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Valuation technique

The expected payments (fair value) are determined by considering the possible scenarios of forecast EBITDA’s, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario. The valuation models consider the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

Significant unobservable inputs

EBITDA growth rates: 10 – 23% (2015: 10 – 23%)
EBITDA multiples: 4,8x – 7x (2015: 4,8x – 7x)
Risk-adjusted discount rate: 1,99% (2015: 1,99%)

Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:

The EBITDA were higher (lower); or
The risk-adjusted discount rate were lower (higher).

Subsequent events

No material subsequent events have arisen since June 30 2016.

The Group underwent an internal restructuring with effect from April 1 2016 in anticipation of the listing and unbundling of Bidcorp on May 30 2016. The illustrative information, detailed in the income statement, has been prepared on the basis that the internal restructuring had been effective on each of July 1 2015 and July 1 2014 and includes pro forma adjustments on a basis consistent with those of the Pre-listing Statement of Bidcorp, dated April 14 2016.
