An impairment test is done annually at the Group’s financial year-end on goodwill acquired through business combinations. The value-in-use of the businesses are represented by the present value of future cash flows generated by the businesses estimated for a five-year period and is based on: Current net profit before tax, projected forward at an average growth of between 5%-10% (2016: 5%-6%) and adjusted for non-cash items; movements in working capital; and a before tax discount rate of 19.27% (2016: 19,92%). Goodwill has been allocated to Clover Industries Group excluding Clover Frankies and then to Clover Frankies and Clover Pride respectively as the smallest separately identifiable cash-generating units due to income, cost, assets and liabilities not being possible to be split into smaller cash-generating units. The respective calculated recoverable amounts exceeds the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit. No reasonably possible change will result in the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. Government grants in the prior year have been received in terms of the DTI’s Manufacturing Competitive Enhancement Programme for the purchase of specific software additions made during the current financial year. There are no unfulfilled conditions or contingencies attached to these grants. |

Diesel hedge The Group purchases diesel on an ongoing basis as its operating activities in the distribution division require a continuous supply of diesel for the transport of its own products and those of its principals. Due to the recent fluctuations in the commodities market specifically relating to the international price of oil and the effect it had on the price of diesel locally the Group entered into a diesel hedge with RMB in the form of a long-futures contract. The futures contracts do not result in the physical delivery of diesel, but are designated as cash flow hedges of offset the effect of the prices changes in diesel. The fair values are based on the quoted price from RMB for an item with the same expiry date and a similar value, taking into account the ruling ICE Gasoil price at year end and the forecasted change in the ICE Gasoil prices until expiry of the instrument. The realised loss portion of the Ice Gasoil long-futures contract recognised in other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss for the year was R 5,9 million (R 4,2 million net of tax) (2016: R 25,8 million (R 18,6 million net of tax)), the unrealised profit portion of R Nil (2016: R 3,3 million (R 2,4 million net of tax)) is reflected in other comprehensive income and will affect the profit or loss in the next financial year, depending on the move in the ICE Gasoil price. During the financial year the Group hedged 1 500 000 litres of ICE Gasoil per month at a average price of R 5,61 per litre. As at 30 June 2017 all the Group diesel hedged had expired. |
