TRUSTCO GROUP HOLDINGS LTD (“Trustco”, “TGH” and/or the ”group”) PROVISIONAL REVIEWED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DATED 31 MARCH 2019
NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Trustco is a diversified dual listed majority family owned business, with the culture of creating long-term
sustainable growth for all stakeholders. Decisions are biased towards long-term value creation and short-term
hurdles are viewed as catalysts to drive success. Trustco operates from three business segments being:
• Insurance and its investments
• Resources and
• Banking and finance.
BUSINESS REVIEW
The group’s diversified business model, both in revenue streams, geographic regions and asset spread again
proved its worth, as group consolidated revenue increased by 85% to NAD 1.48 billion, with profit after tax
similarly increasing by 165% to NAD 725 million.
As a result, the group is proud to report that basic earnings per share has increased by 199% to 71c per share,
with headline earnings increasing by 157% per share, to 70c per share.
A detailed business overview will be contained in the Integrated Report of the group and in the individual
Integrated Report of each segment, due to be released on or about 28 June 2019.
SEGMENT OVERVIEW
INSURANCE AND ITS INVESTMENTS
Revenue for the segment increased to NAD 1.3 billion which represents growth of 241% compared to the
prior year. Profit after tax increased to NAD 292 million which represents growth of 99% from the prior year.
The segment contributed 35 cents per share to the consolidated group EPS and group HEPS. The group
owns 80% of this segment.
RESOURCES
The resources segment reported an increase in after tax profits of NAD 486 million for the reporting period,
compared to NAD 139 million of the previous reporting year. At the time of reporting, an offer was made for
a diamond asset, two copper assets are being evaluated and one zinc asset has been identified. These assets
are all located in Namibia. This segment currently has three assets, Meya Mining, Northern Namibia
Development Company and Morse Investment.
Meya Mining
Meya Mining is a world class Kimberlite deposit, situated in Sierra Leone. Meya Mining’s primary focus during
the reporting period was to conclude all the regulatory, technical, social and environmental studies in
preparation for the large scale mining licence application and the transitioning from exploration to commercial
production. The application was concluded and submitted to Sierra Leone Ministry of Mines and Mineral
Resources on 20 May 2019.
Northern Namibia Development Company
Northern Namibia Development Company (Pty) Ltd (NNDC) received ML152, a 15 year mining licence, from
the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy. The company is in the process of upgrading its mining fleet and
process plant.
Morse Investments
During the reporting period, Morse Investments obtained all the regulatory approvals to move its Export
Processing Zone (EPZ) status diamond cutting and polishing factory from an industrial to a commercial area
in Windhoek. EPZ status affords substantial tax free benefits.
BANKING AND FINANCE
The banking and finance segment continued its upward trajectory, which resulted in profit after tax of NAD 262
million for the reporting period on an individual segmental basis (loss after tax of NAD 52 million on a
consolidated basis), despite an additional NAD 41 million for credit impairment charges raised. The group owns
100% of this segment.
The initial adoption of IFRS 9 amounted to a provision of NAD 247 million that was accounted for through equity.
At March 2019 the segment had total assets of NAD2.7 billion on a stand alone basis. The segment has
optimised the structure of its statement of financial position, in order to improve liquidity and to provide
Trustco Bank with the opportunity to expand its lending operations through various avenues during the next
financial period.
DIVIDENDS
During the year under review, the board recommended that no dividend be declared for the financial period
ended 31 March 2019.
GOING CONCERN
The group further broadened its lender and capital base during the year under review.
At the time of this report, the restructuring of the debt with the international lenders was partially completed,
with transactions concluded with five of the eleven lenders. It is expected that the remaining six lenders will
have restructuring terms concluded in due course. The remaining international debt to be restructured
represents 13% of the total capital structure (equity and liabilities) of the group. The group is confident that
the remaining international debt will be successfully restructured as the lenders indicated their willingness to
conclude the restructuring process when the standstill agreement expires on 15 June 2019.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The directors are not aware of any material event which occurred after the reporting period and to date of
this report.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS), STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET
EFFECTIVE
The group has decided not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations which have been
published and are mandatory for the group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019.
IFRS 16 LEASES
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016. For lessees, almost all leases will be recognised in the statement of
financial position, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new
standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised.
There are two exemptions, namely short-term and low-value leases.
The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the group’s operating leases. At the reporting date, the
group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments which were insignificant. The group does not expect
that these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and this
will not affect the group’s profit and classification of cash flows. The group will apply a modified retrospective
transition method.
The standard will effect the group for the financial reporting period commencing 1 April 2019.
IFRS 17 INSURANCE CONTRACTS
The standard is effective for years commencing on or after 1 January 2021. The standard will be adopted by
the group for the financial reporting period commencing 1 April 2021.
IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance
contracts within the scope of the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant
information that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial
statements to assess the effect that insurance contracts have on the entity’s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows.
The group is currently performing an assessment to determine the potential impact of the new standard on
the group’s statement of financial position and performance. The group is still considering the transitional
approach to be applied. The group expects that significant additional disclosures will be added to the financial
statements to meet the revised requirements of the standard.
SALIENT FEATURES OF THE PROVISIONAL REVIEWED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SELECTED NOTES
The provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position at 31 March 2019, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss
and Other Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows and selected notes for the year then
ended.
When reference is made to the “group” in the accounting policies, it should be interpreted as referring to
Trustco Group Holdings Ltd and/or the company, where the context requires, unless otherwise noted.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS
The board takes full responsibility for the preparation of this provisional report and confirms that the financial
information has been correctly extracted from the reviewed underlying consolidated annual financial
statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019
have been prepared in accordance with the group’s accounting policies under the supervision of the group
financial director, Floors Abrahams, BCom. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 except for the accounting policies applied for common
control transactions, mine properties, IFRS 15 and IFRS 9. Refer to notes 18 and 19 for further details. The
provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements comply with IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting, the framework concepts and the recognition and measurement requirements of International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE) and the Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX)
and the requirements of the Namibian Companies Act (Act 28 of 2004), as amended.
The provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements of the group are prepared as a going
concern on the historical basis except for certain financial instruments and investment properties which are
stated at fair value as applicable and property, plant and equipment which is stated using the revaluation
model.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the
judgements about carrying values of the assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Namibian Dollars
(NAD), the functional currency of the group. All amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where
another rounding measure has been indicated in the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements.
At 31 March 2019, NAD 1 was equal to ZAR 1 and USD 14.20.
NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
All new standards and interpretations that came into effect during the reporting period were assessed and
adopted. Refer to note 18 for the impact of new standards and interpretations on the provisional reviewed
condensed consolidated financial statements.

The amount due to Next Investments (Pty) Ltd arises from the NAD 1 billion loan transaction
announced on the 8th of October 2018 in terms of which Dr. Q van Rooyen together with his
investment vehicle, Next Investments (Pty) Ltd would lend to Trustco Group Holdings Ltd. The loan
is repayable on 31 March 2024 and bears interest at the Namibian prime lending rate of 10.50%.
The loan is convertible into Trustco’s shares at the option of the lender and is subordinated until
it is settled. No dilutive effect on headline earnings and earnings per share was calculated as the
average share price was lower during the year than the exercise price of the option.
During the period Next Investments (Pty) Ltd waived a portion of its loan. Refer to note 13 for
further information.
The amount due by Riskowitz Value Fund is the outstanding balance of the Legal Shield Holdings
transaction. The balance bore interest of 11.50% p.a. and was repaid during the period.

REVALUATION OF ASSETS
On an annual basis, an independent valuation of the group’s land and buildings and aircraft is
performed by independent valuers to determine the fair value of these assets. The revaluation
surplus and the applicable deferred taxes were recognised in other comprehensive income and
presented in ‘other reserves’ in equity.
VALUATION TECHNIQUES USED TO DETERMINE REVALUED AMOUNTS
(a) Aircraft
Valuation of aircraft is based on the International Recognised Blue Book for aircraft which is the
accepted source for aircraft valuations worldwide. The effective date of revaluation was 31 March
2019 (2018: 31 March 2018). Valuation of the aircraft is based upon the current operating hour
and cycle readings of the aircraft. Values reflect prices to purchase similar aircraft in a similar
condition at that date, based on all available data such transactions in the market that would be
used to replace these assets. Management has considered that these valuations materially
represent revalued amounts as at 31 March 2019 (2018: 31 March 2018).
(b) Land and buildings
Land and buildings were valued by using the income capitalisation method. This method involves
the determination of the net income of the property that is capitalised at a rate sought by prudent
investors to determine the revalued amount of the subject property. The expected income of the
property is determined by the comparison of the market rentals of similar properties. Refer to
the statement of comprehensive income for revaluation loss for the year.
The properties fair value has been determined based on valuations performed by Gert Hamman
Property Valuers CC and CP Marais. The effective date of the revaluations was 31 March 2019
(2018: 31 March 2018). Gert Hamman Property Valuers CC and CP Marais are not connected to
the group, are qualified property valuators and have recent experience in location and category
of the property being valued.
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
The group aircraft’s revalued amount (reported in the group’s “Insurance and its investments”
segment) is directly linked to the US dollar. The exchange rate is one of the significant inputs. The
movement of the exchange rate of the Namibian dollar to the US dollar from NAD 11.8 to NAD
14.1 (from NAD 13.4 to NAD 11.8 in previous financial year) resulted in significant increase (2018:
decrease) in the revalued amount. The increase was recognised as a reversal of impairment loss
in profit or loss to the extent of impairment loss recognised in the previous financial period.
During the period the reversal of impairment loss of NAD 23.2 million (for 12 months period ended
31 March 2018: NAD 42.2 million impairment loss) was recognised in the “Insurance and its
investments” segment’s profit or loss. The recoverable amount of the aircraft is NAD 184 million
(2018: NAD 169 million) and is equal to its revalued amount less cost of disposal. Aircraft are
classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
4. INVESTMENT PROPERTY

TRANSFER FROM INVENTORY TO INVESTMENT PROPERTY
In 2014 the group purchased a property development company (the developer), that owned
property assets. These properties were held with the intention of being developed and disposed of
in the ordinary course of business and therefore treated as inventory by the group. Due to the
decline in the property market, as evidenced by relatively low demand and a decline in property
prices, caused by the slowdown of the Namibian economy, management decided to review its plan
and developed a new strategy as regards the extraction of value from these property assets. The
revised strategy is to hold the properties for longer term capital appreciation and not for short term
development and sale. As a consequence the board decided that the planned imminent
development of the affected property assets be cancelled immediately. The strategy adopted for the
affected property assets is now aligned with that adopted for other similar property assets within
the property portfolio of the group which have been accounted for as investment properties.
Consequently, the group reclassified the affected properties from inventory to investment property
as required by IAS 40 Investment Property when there is a change in the intention and actions of an
entity under these circumstances. It is the group’s policy to measure investment properties at fair
value. Under such circumstances when an entity transfers items from inventories to investment
property that will be carried at fair value, IAS 40 requires that the transfer be treated in a manner
that “is consistent with the treatment of sales of inventories” and to “recognise any difference
between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount in profit or
loss”. The group has applied these requirements by recognising as revenue from “deemed sales of
inventory” an amount of NAD 984 million, being the fair value of the property assets, and recognising
as “deemed cost of sales” an amount of NAD 291 million being the carrying amount property assets
(as inventory) at the date of transfer. A gain of NAD 693 million has therefore been recognised in
profit or loss as required.

CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS – TRUSTCO CONSTRUCTION SERVICES (PTY) LTD
The goodwill associated with Trustco Construction Services (Pty) Ltd arose when the business was
acquired by the group in the 2016 financial year. An impairment loss was recognised during the
period under review as the recoverable amount of the business unit was significantly affected by a
depressed operating environment. The other assets within this cash generating unit were deployed
for use in other units within the group. The total amount recognised as an impairment loss in profit
or loss during the period was NAD 9.5 million. The impairment loss was accounted for in the
“Insurance and its investments” segment’s profit or loss. The carrying amount of goodwill is NAD Nill
million (2018: NAD 9.5 million).

by the group and Riskowitz Value Fund.
• The Huso transaction as amended was perfected during the period under review. The group
made a first payment of NAD 672 077 000 (refer to note 16), payable by way of an issue of 143
300 000 shares, as compensation for the purchase of Huso. The shares were issued at par value
of NAD 0.23 per share and a premium of NAD 4.46 per share to Dr. Q. van Rooyen who
nominated Next Investments (Pty) Ltd and Le-Hugo Investments as the beneficiaries of the
shares in terms of the Huso transaction.
The shares were listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange and the JSE Ltd in compliance with
Schedule 6 of the Listings Requirements and were duly approved by shareholders.

of Huso group (Huso). The waiver of the loan facility by Next resulted in the group being legally
released from its contractual obligation to settle the loan, and the financial liability was
derecognised. Owing to the fact that there was no consideration paid by the group, nor equity
instruments issued by the group in exchange for this release of debt, the gain has been recognised
in as was released to profit or loss.

16. COMMON CONTROL TRANSACTION
On 4 September 2018 the group acquired control of 100% of the voting equity interest of the Huso
group. Huso is the holding company of Northern Namibia Development Company (Pty) Ltd (NNDC) and
Morse Investments (Pty) Ltd (Morse). At the time of acquisition the Huso group was under the control
of Dr Q. Van Rooyen who is also the controlling shareholder of the Trustco group through his direct
and indirect interests. As such the transaction is deemed a common control transaction and as a result
IFRS 3 Business Combinations is not applicable to it.
As IFRS 3 is not applicable, the group has applied its own accounting policy for common control
transactions the summary of which is reflected in the table below:
Book value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Huso

CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION ARRANGEMENTS
A fixed number of shares will be payable to the seller at any time during the payment term (being
not later than nine years from 4 September 2018), upon the Resources Segment reaching the
following cumulative Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation and After Stock
Adjustments (EBITDAASA) targets:
EBITDAASA Number of
target Shares
Event NAD’ million million
Upon reaching the first EBITDAASA target of 250 120.2
Upon reaching the second EBITDAASA target of 250 120.2
Upon reaching the third EBITDAASA target of 250 120.2
Upon reaching the fourth EBITDAASA target of 250 120.2
Upon reaching the fifth EBITDAASA target of 308.1 148.0
Total 1,308.1 628.8
The purchase consideration, accounted as cost adjusted for time value of money, is based on
significant inputs that are not observable in the market, key assumptions are a discount rate of
10.5% and an assumed probability of achieving the targets by the 2023 financial period. The
contingent consideration is included in shares for vendors. The contingent consideration was
classified as equity as it does not meet the definition of a financial liability.
ACQUISITION RELATED COSTS
No acquisition-related costs were incurred and charged to administrative expenses in profit or loss
for the current period ended.
GROUP REVENUE AND PROFIT OR LOSS FOR FULL YEAR
The acquired business contributed revenues of NAD Nil, other income of NAD 424.4 million and a
profit of NAD 419.5 million to the group for the period from 1 September 2018 to 31 March 2019.
Had the common control transaction taken place at the beginning of the reporting year, the revenue
for the group would have been NAD Nil, other income of NAD 424.4 million and the net profit would
have been NAD 415.3 million.
17. FAIR VALUE
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are not materially different to their carrying
amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the
instruments are short-term in nature.
18. NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED IN THE CURRENT YEAR
This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue
from Contracts with Customers on the group’s financial statements and also discloses the new
accounting policies that have been applied from 1 April 2018, where they are different to those
applied in prior periods.
a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
i) Impact on the financial statements
As explained below, IFRS 9 was adopted without restating comparative information. The
reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new impairment rules are therefore not
reflected in the restated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2018, but are recognised
in the opening statement of financial position on 1 April 2018.
The group has adopted IFRS 9 with a date of transition of 1 April 2018, which resulted in changes in
accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts previously recognised in the financial
statements. The group did not early adopt IFRS 9 in previous periods.
ii) IFRS 9 Financial instruments – impact of adoption
IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments and
impairment of financial assets.
The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1 April 2018 resulted in changes in accounting
policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new
accounting policies are set out below.
In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated.
The total impact on the group’s retained earnings as at 1 April 2018 is as follows:
(Figures in Namibia Dollar thousand)
Closed retained earnings 31 March 2018 – IAS 39 3 426 491
Adjustment to retained earnings from adoption of IFRS 9 on 1 April 2018
Increase in expected credit loss for bank advances and loans at amortised cost (2 105)
Increase in expected credit loss for property advances (245 426)
Opening retained earnings 1 April 2018 – IFRS 9 3 178 960
iii) Classification and measurement
On 1 April 2018 (the date of initial application of IFRS 9), advances, loans and trade receivables
previously classified as loans and receivables are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise
to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest. These are now classified and
measured as Debt instruments at amortised cost. There are no changes in classification and
measurement for the group’s financial liabilities.
iv) Impairment of financial assets
The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the group’s accounting for impairment losses
for financial assets by replacing IAS 39’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected
credit loss (ECL) approach. IFRS 9 requires the group to recognise an allowance for ECLs for all debt
instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and contract assets.
The group’s financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model were:
• advances carried at amortised cost; and
• trade receivables carried at amortised cost.
The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for each of these classes
of assets. The impact of the change in impairment methodology on the group’s retained earnings
and equity is disclosed in the table in note ii) above.
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS
9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.
v) Accounting policy applied from 1 April 2018
» Classification
Financial Assets at amortised cost
From 1 April 2018, the group classifies its financial assets as those measured at amortised
cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and
the contractual terms of the cash flows. These assets are held for collection of contractual cash
flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
» Measurement
Subsequently the group measures advances and trade receivables at amortised cost and
impairment is recognised on these assets.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective
interest method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss
and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses.
» Impairment
From 1 April 2018, the group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses
associated with its advances and trade receivables carried at amortised cost. Lifetime expected
credit losses (ECL) are recognised when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased
significantly since initial recognition, the group measures the loss allowance for that financial
instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should
be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since
initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting
date or an actual default occurring.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events
over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion
of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are
possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
» Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial
recognition, the group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the
reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial
recognition. In making this assessment, the group considers both quantitative and qualitative
information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking
information that is available without undue cost or effort.
The group presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the group has
reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.
Financial assets with an objective evidence of impairment considering the rebuttable
presumption that default does not occur later than when a financial asset is 90 days past due are
assessed as being in default, unless the group has reasonable and supportable information that
demonstrates otherwise.
The group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria
are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
» Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given
default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The
assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted
by forward-looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying
amount at the reporting date.
Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
» Write off policy
The group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty
is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the
counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings.
Financial assets written off may still be subject to
enforcement activities under the group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice
where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss. The impairment
methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognised for receivables.
b) IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The group has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 April 2018 which
resulted in a change in the accounting policy. There were no adjustments to the amounts recognised
in the financial statements. This accounting policy applied from 1 April 2018.
Revenue comprises the consideration received or receivable from contracts entered into with
customers in the ordinary course of the group’s activities. It is determined at an amount that
depicts the consideration to which the group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring
the goods and services promised to the customer. Revenue is shown net of taxes and amounts
collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised at the amount of the transaction price
that is allocated to each distinct performance obligation, and is recognised when control of the
performance obligations is transferred to the customer.
Property sales revenue
In property sale transactions, the land is a distinct performance obligation. Revenue is recognised
when control of the land is transferred to the customer upon signature of the sales contract.
Revenue from servicing the land and revenue from construction contracts, each of which is
identified as a performance obligation, which is recognised over time according to the stage of
completion. Stage of completion is measured with reference to independently certified progress
certificates issued by the appointed project engineer.
Tuition fees
Revenue from tuition services is recognised over time according to the stage of completion. Stage
of completion is measured as the amount of work completed, as a percentage of the agreed work
to be done.
Diamonds sales
Revenue is recognised when control (legal title) of the diamond is transferred to the customer.
19. NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMMON CONTROL TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in which combining entities are controlled by the same party or parties before and
after the transaction and where that control is not transitory are referred to as common control
transactions.
As IFRS does not specifically govern the accounting treatment of common control transactions,
guidance was sought by investigating the treatment of similar transactions in other jurisdictions.
Guidance was obtained from US GAAP, specifically FRS 6.
The group’s accounting policy for the acquiring entity is to account for the transaction at book
value as reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the selling entity. The group accounts
for the merger prospectively, thus the acquired entity’s results are included in the acquirer’s
financial statements from the date of the business combination. There is no restatement of
comparative information.
For common control transactions, the group determines purchase consideration as the transaction
cost adjusted for time value of money where applicable.
The excess of the purchase consideration over the acquirer’s proportionate share of the net assets
value acquired in common control transactions, will be allocated to the common control reserve in
equity.
MINE PROPERTIES
Expenditure is transferred from ’Exploration and evaluation assets’ to Mine under
development’ which is a sub- category of ’Mine properties’ once the exploration and evaluation
results supports the future development of a mining property and such development receives
appropriate approvals.
After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all subsequent expenditure on the
construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalised in ’Mines under
construction’. Any costs incurred in testing the assets to determine if they are functioning as
intended, are capitalised. After production starts, all assets included in ‘Mines under construction’
are then transferred to ’Producing mines’ which is a sub-category of ’Mine properties’.
Revenue from sale of mineral resources during the development phase is recognised in
profit or loss.
