The estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2013 is R2 308,6 million (2012: R1 971,9 million). 

During the year under review the Group has written off or impaired plant and equipment to the value of R4,4 million (2012: R4,8 million). 

The fair value of property, plant and equipment has been determined based on valuations performed by ‘The Property Partnership’, an accredited independent valuer, as at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 respectively. ‘The Property Partnership’ is an industry specialist in valuing property, plant and equipment. The fair value has been determined as follows:

Land and buildings: This category has either been assessed on a capitalised rental income basis or, where specialised facilities are involved, by way of a depreciated replacement cost basis.  

Plant and machinery: This category has been assessed on a net current replacement cost/depreciated replacement cost basis. 

Registers containing details of land are available for inspection at the registered office. The carrying value of plant and equipment held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts at 30 June 2013 was R8.8 million (2012: R9,2 million). Additions during the year were R1,1 million (2012: R6,5 million) of plant and equipment held under finance lease and hire purchase agreements. Leased assets and assets bought under hire purchase contracts are pledged as security for the related finance lease and hire purchase liabilities.

An impairment test is done annually at the Group’s financial year end on goodwill acquired through business combinations. The present value of future cash flows generated by the businesses is estimated for a five-year period and is based on:

Current net profit before tax, projected forward for average growth of 6% (2012: 6%) and adjusted for non-cash items; an effective tax rate of 28%; required capital expenditure; movements in working capital; and a before tax discount rate of 19,24% (2012: 19,24%).

Goodwill has been allocated to Clover Industries as the smallest separately identifiable cash-generating unit due to income, cost, assets and liabilities not being able to be split into smaller cash-generating units. Refer to note 5.

Goodwill has been allocated to the following cash-generating units for purposes of the impairment review:

Due to the Group being exposed to changes in the price of diesel, it has entered into a diesel hedge relationship for Zero Cost Collars. The forward contract does not result in physical delivery of diesel.

The Group hedged 6 million litres of diesel, this equals its diesel usage for six months. The hedge commenced 3 February 2012 and expired on 26 July 2012.

The Group entered into a forward contract to purchase 2 132 695 Clover Industries shares at R17,90 per share on 30 June 2014. This transaction was entered into to hedge a portion of the share appreciation rights issued to management. 

     
 
   
14.3
Fair value hierarchy 
 

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique; 

Level 1: quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. 

Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. 

As at 30 June 2013, the Group held the following financial instruments carried at fair value in the statement of financial position:

(129 863) (116 458)   Net deferred tax (liability )/asset  28  86 
       

In assessing the availability of sufficient future taxable profit for utilisation against unu sed tax losses, cognisance was taken of the Group’s vision, goals and strategies. The Board is of the opinion that future taxable profits would be adequate to utilise the unused tax losses.

The statement of financial position disclosure for deferred tax assets is the total amount for all Group companies with net deferred tax assets. Likewise the deferred tax liability represents the total of all companies with net deferred tax liabilities. Note 15 however groups all deferred tax assets and liabilities in the Group, irrespective of the net position of individual Group companies. 

No deferred tax asset has been provided on the tax loss of entities which are loss making since inception of business to date.

The loans to Directors and other Executives were made to finance ordinary shares in CIL issued to them on 31 May 2010. The terms of the loans are as follows: they will bear interest at 90% of the prime rate of Absa Bank, interest will be capitalised on a monthly basis, repayable by management on the sale of the ordinary shares or within two months of leaving the employment of Clover or within six months in the case of death. All proceeds of the ordinary shares are ceded to CIL as security for the loans, in addition to all proceeds on the Clover Industries preference shares that were held by them. The loan agreements have been amended to make provision for a final repayment date of the respective loans linked to the normal retirement date for each of the Executives. See note 29.4 for further details. 

Clover SA securitised its trade debtors, excluding debtors generated from export sales, through a special-purpose entity, Clover Capital. Clover Capital is consolidated into the results of the Group.
