Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

Chairman’s review INTRODUCTION

Trading conditions for the year under review have been challenging. Whilst the economic environment had its own problems which included, constrained liquidity conditions, policy inconsistencies and reduced capital inflows, weather patterns also played a negative role on agricultural operations. Reduced grain harvests and low cotton prices resulted in less disposable income for the small-scale farmer. The 2012/13 rain season started late and aﬀected the normal seasonal oﬀ-take for all agricultural products. This report incorporates six months trading of Tractive Power

Mining and Construction.

Barzem, which holds franchises for Caterpillar and Hyster Equipment in Zimbabwe, recorded a 10% decline in wholegoods sales compared to the same period last year, while parts sales measured in dollars were 26% above last year. CT Bolts, which incorporates Tassburg products, is involved in the supply and distribution of fasteners in Zimbabwe. Units for this division, measured in kgs declined by 7% while those measured in units declined by 12%.

Motoring Division

Puzey and Payne is a franchise holder for Peugeot and a dealer for Mazda, Mitsubishi, Forland and Toyota. It is involved in the sale and servicing of vehicles including parts sales under these brands. The division’s vehicle sales in units decreased by 20% against the same six months period last year while parts decreased by 23% measured in dollars. Labour hours through the workshop also decreased by 8%. The proliferation of grey imports, lack of asset based finance and a few non-performing brands contributed to the decline in motor vehicle and parts volumes.

Financial Review

Holdings Limited (TPHL), which became a subsidiary of Zimplow Limited by virtue of a 57.2% acquisition concluded on 30 June 2012. The new group operates in a high capital-intensive market that requires asset based finance as well as medium to long term financing structures. Your directors are pleased to have acquired this business and are confident about the considerable upside potential that the business possesses.

Operational review Agriculture

Mealie-Brand, which is involved in the manufacture and distribution of animal drawn agricultural equipment, recorded a 10% decline in total volumes from last year mainly due to a negative swing in local implements volume sales. Local implements units decreased by 28% compared to prior year. The recovery that was expected in the second half did not take off as anticipated due to factors mentioned above. Export implement volumes were 13% ahead of prior year. This ameliorated the decline experienced in the local market. Spares were 98% of the prior year achievement with exports contributing 43% compared to 29% in the previous year. Factory throughput was lower than 2011 production due to reduced volumes sold. Farmec holds franchises for Massey Ferguson tractors and combine harvesters, Valtra tractors, Perkins generators, Piccini implements and Monosem planters. The division’s total wholegoods sales in units were 23% lower than the 2011 achievement for the comparative six months. The late rain season affected the seasonal off-take. Labour hours through the workshops were up by 32% whilst parts sales measured in dollars were 6% down from prior year. Afritrac, our South African operation’s volumes declined by 20% due to competition from the Far East. Northmec, which holds the franchise for CASE tractors and combine harvesters, Baldan implements, recorded a 143% increase in volumes albeit from a lower base.

The group recorded revenue of USD35 610 823 enhanced by the acquisition of Tractive Power Holdings Limited. Operating profit of USD1.78 million was well below what was acheived by Zimplow Limited alone in 2011 due to pressures on spares margins and sales mix between local and exports at MealieBrand. However, the group ended up with an attributable loss of USD 1 005 176 due to restructuring, merger, and acquisition expenses, which are non-recurring. Finance charges and significant losses from Puzey and Payne also contributed to the loss for the year. Prospects The group will consolidate its leadership as the agriculture and mining equipment supplier of choice representing world-class brands. The group is well positioned to take advantage of the current rehabilitation of equipment taking place in, roads, mining, rural councils, sugar and tea estates. Tobacco prices appear to be firm and this, coupled with a positive regional outlook should see the agricultural divisions improving.

Directorate

Mrs. Design Mkonto, Mr. Anthony Rowland and Mr. Brendan Mitchell resigned from the board after the conclusion of 100% take over of TPHL to pave way for new members from the former TPHL board. They remain within the group as executives in their respective divisions. I am grateful for the contributions they have made to the board during their tenure. In the same vein, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr. Timothy Johnson, Mr. Godfrey Manhambara and Mr. Sibani Mngomezulu to the new group and look forward to their wise counsel and experience.

Appreciation

I would like to express my gratitude to our customers, employees, suppliers, bankers and other stakeholders for their steadfast assistance to bring the group to where it is at the moment. In conclusion, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to fellow board members and management for putting together a key strategic group that is set to deliver value to all stakeholders.

Independent auditor’s report Chartered Accountants (Zimbabwe) Derry House Cnr Fife Street/6th Avenue P.O. Box 437, Bulawayo Tel: +263 9 76111 Fax: +263 9 72359

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ZIMPLOW LIMITED We have audited the accompanying consolidated and company financial statements of Zimplow Limited as set out on pages 18 to 61 which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in the manner required by the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) and the relevant statutory instruments (SI 33/99 and SI 62/96) and for such internal controls as the directors’ determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suﬃcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated and company financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zimplow Limited as at 31 December 2012, its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In our opinion, the financial statements have, in all material respects, been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of and in the manner required by the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) and the relevant Statutory Instruments (SI 33/99 and SI 62/96).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2012 1. Corporate information

The consolidated financial statements of Zimplow Limited and its subsidiaries(collectively, the Group) for the year ended 31 December 2012 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 4 March 2013. Zimplow Limited, the Company is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in Zimbabwe and whose shares are publicly traded. The registered oﬃce is located at 39 Steelworks Road, Steeldale in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The principal activities of the Group are: manufacture and distribution of animal drawn implements, manufacture and distribution of metal fasteners for mining, construction and agricultural industries. On 1 July 2012 the Company acquired a 57.21% controlling stake in Tractive Power Holdings Limited(TPHL). TPHL is a retailer of acclaimed brands through its operating units Barzem (earthmoving machinery), Farmec (farming machinery), Northmec (farming machinery), Manica Road Investments (property) and Puzey and Payne (motoring).

2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 2.1 Amendments to IFRS aﬀecting amounts reported in the financial statements Amendments to IFRS affecting presentation and disclosure only The Group has applied the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income in advance to the eﬀective date (annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012). The amendments introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendment to IAS 1, the “statement of comprehensive income” is renamed the “Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income” and “the income statement” is renamed the “statement of profit or loss”. The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However the amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: a) Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and b) Items that will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis. The amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendment to IAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

Amendments to IFRS affecting the reported financial performance and or financial position Amendment to IAS12 Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets The amendment clarified the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value and introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale. It includes the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should always be measured on a sale basis. The amendment is eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and had no eﬀect on the Group’s financial position, performance or its disclosures.

2.2 New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet eﬀective

The group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective: IFRS 9 Financial instruments IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements IFRS 11 Joint arrangements IFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities IFRS 13 Fair value measurement Amendments to IFRS 7 disclosures –offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 and transition disclosures Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 Consolidated financial statements, Joint arrangements and disclosure of interests in other entities: Transition Guidance IAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee benefits IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate financial statements IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in associates and joint ventures Amendments to IAS 32 offsetting financial assets and liabilities Amendments to IFRS annual improvements to IFRSs 2009-2011 Cycle IFRIC 20 Stripping costs in the Production Phase of a surface mine

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9, issued in November 2009 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 was amended in October 2010 to include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for de-recognition.

Key requirements of IFRS 9

All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 financial instruments: recognition and measurements are to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities can make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss. With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability, that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liabilities credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liabilities credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss previously, under IAS 39, the entire amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss. The Directors anticipate that the application of IFRS 9 in the future may have a significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. In May 2011 a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements was issued including IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011)

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled and therefore are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. Based on the preliminary analyses performed, IFRS 10 is not expected to haveany impact on the currently held investments of the Group. This standard becomes eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the

definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method The application of IFRS 11 will change the classification and subsequent accounting of the Group’s investment in Northmec, which is classified as a jointly controlled entity under IAS 31 and has been accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Under IFRS 11, Northmec Pvt Ltd will be classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method, resulting in the aggregation of the proportionate of Northmec’s net assets and items of profit or loss and other comprehensive income into a single line which will be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive as ‘investment in joint venture’ and share of profit/ (loss) of joint venture respectively. Besides the investment in Northmec (Pvt) Ltd, the Group does not have any other interest in jointly controlled entities. The standard becomes eﬀective for annual periods beginning onor after 1 January 2013.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required, but has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. This standard becomes eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Directors anticipate that the application of the new standards may aﬀect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the financial statements.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair valueunder IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance. This standard becomes eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

This interpretation applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred in surface mining activity, during the production phase of the mine. The interpretation addresses the accounting for the benefit from the stripping activity. The interpretation is eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The new interpretation will not have an impact on the Group.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised)

The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and rewording.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

However, the amended standard will impact the net benefit expense as the expected return on plan assets will be calculated using the same interest rate as applied for the purpose of discounting the benefit obligation. The amendment becomes eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)

As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 28 Investments in Associates, has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The revised standard becomes eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IAS 32 Oﬀsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Amendments to IAS 32

These amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off ”. The amendments also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. These amendments are not expected to impact the Group’s financial position or performance and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

IFRS 1 Government Loans – Amendments to IFRS 1

These amendments require first-time adopters to apply the requirements of IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, prospectively to government loans existing at the date of transition to IFRS. Entities may choose to apply the requirements of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable) and IAS 20 to government loans retrospectively if the information needed to do so had been obtained at the time of initiallyaccounting for that loan. The exception would give first-time adopters relief from retrospective measurement of government loans with a below-market rate of interest. The amendment is eﬀective for annual periods on or after 1 January 2013. The amendment will not impact on the Group since the Group is not a first time adopter.

IFRS 7 Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Amendments to IFRS 7 These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off and related arrangements(e.g., collateral agreements). The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognised financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.

These amendments will not impact the Group’s financial position or performance and become eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

2.2.2 Annual Improvements May 2012 These improvements will not have an impact on the Group, but include:

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards This improvement clarifies that an entity that stopped applying IFRS in the past and chooses, or is required, to apply IFRS, has the option to re-apply IFRS 1. If IFRS 1 is not re-applied, an entity must retrospectively restateits financial statements as if it had never stopped applying IFRS.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

This improvement clarifies the diﬀerence between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is the previous period.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments Presentation

This improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes.

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

The amendment aligns the disclosure requirements for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures. These improvements are eﬀective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

2.3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires the Group’s Directors and Management to make judgements, estimates and formulate assumptions that may aﬀect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilitie/assets at the reporting period date. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated, and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability aﬀected in the future.

The disclosures also apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set oﬀ in accordance with IAS 32.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimates, which have the most significant eﬀect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Group’s Directors are of the opinion that the Statement of Financial Position represents a true and fair position of the Group.

•

Useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment. The Group assesses the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment each period, taking into account past experience and macroeconomic changes. Fair values The Group makes estimates and judgements in the valuation of property, plant and equipment, and the valuation of financial assets (such as trade receivables). Judgement is required in determining fair values of assets. The Group may also rely on independent opinions of experts in related specialist fields.

Impairment of Goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. The carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 December 2012 was US$1 304 698. No impairment was recognised during the year.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies 2.4.1 Basis of preparation

The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for property, plant, equipment, investment property and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

2.4.2 Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards and presented in United States dollars (US dollars), which is the Group’s functional currency.

2.4.3 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and entities controlled by the company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date of acquisition and up to the date of

disposal as appropriate. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the company and to non-controlling interests even if it results in noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Investment in subsidiary companies is accounted for at cost less impairment.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries. Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group’s interests and noncontrolling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interest in the subsidiaries. Any diﬀerence between the amount by which non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company. When the Group losses control of the subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the diﬀerence between i) ii)

The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and non-controlling interests.

When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable IFRS) The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 or when applicable, the costs on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

a) Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at fair value with changes infair value recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of IAS 39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non – controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest (if any) in the entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets recognised. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised, but is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the entity are assigned to those units. Each unit to which the goodwill is so allocated:

• •

Represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and Is not larger than a reportable segment determined in accordance with IFRS 8: “Operating Segments”. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of the cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or

loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cashgenerating unit retained.

Bargain purchase gain

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non – controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately, in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

b) Segment reporting

Operating segments are considered reportable segments when their operating results and financial position are:

• •

Regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision makers as part of the decision making process regarding resources to be allocated towards each segment’s operations; and Duly assessed against internally determined key performance indicators. The Group discloses its operating segments according to each legal entity, these are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker. These values have been reconciled to the consolidated annual financial statements. Detailed information on the reportable segments identified and presented is disclosed in note 5.

The Group has identified the Chief Executive Oﬃcer as the chief operating decision maker. c) Jointly controlled entities A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control that is when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint venture arrangements that involve a separate entity in which each venture has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. The Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of jointly controlled entities are combined with the equivalent items in the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line basis. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of the Group’s interest in a jointly controlled entity is accounted for in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for goodwill arising on business combination. Upon loss of joint control, the Group measures and recognises its remaining investment at its fair value. The diﬀerence between the carrying amount of the investment upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss. When the remaining investment constitutes significant influence, it is accounted for as an investment in an associate.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. Adjustments are made, where necessary to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. Investment in joint venture is accounted for at cost less impairment.

d) Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equitysettled share-based transactions are set out in note 21. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equitysettled share-based payments is expensed on a straightline basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (equity-settled employee benefits reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve. The policy described above is applied to all equity-settled share-based payment transactions that were granted on and after 31 July 2011. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognised for the goods or services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability. At the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the year.

Share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree in a business combination

When the share-based payment awards held by the employees of an acquiree (acquiree awards) are replaced by the Group’s share-based payment awards (replacement awards), both the acquiree awards and the replacement awards are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment(“market-based measure”) at the acquisition date. The portion of the replacement awards that is included in measuring the consideration transferred in a business combination equals the market-based measure of the acquiree awards multiplied by the ratio of the portion of the vesting period completed to the greater of the total vesting period or the original vesting period of the acquiree award. The excess of the market-based measure of the replacement awards over the market-based measure of the acquiree awards included in measuring the

consideration transferred is recognised as remuneration cost for post-combination service. However, when the acquiree awards expire as a consequence of a business combination and the Group replaces those awards when it does not have an obligation to do so, the replacement awards are measured at their market-based measure in accordance with IFRS 2. All of the market-based measure of the replacement awards is recognised as remuneration cost for post-combination service. At the acquisition date, when the outstanding equitysettled share-based payment transactions held by the employees of an acquiree are not exchanged by the Group for its share-based payment transactions, the acquiree share-based payment transactions are measured at their market-based measure at the acquisition date. If the sharebased payment transactions have vested by the acquisition date, they are included as part of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree. However, if the share-based payment transactions have not vested by the acquisition date, the market-based measure of the unvested sharebased payment transactions is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree based on the ratio of the portion of the vesting period completed to the greater of the total vesting period or the original vesting period of the share-based payment transaction. The balance is recognised as remuneration cost for post-combination service.

e) Foreign currency translations

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is also the parent company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

i) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. All diﬀerences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are taken to the profit or loss with the exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment of a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the net investment is disposed, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange diﬀerences on those monetary items are also recorded in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on retranslation of non-monetary items is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation diﬀerences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: • The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; • The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor eﬀective control over the goods sold; • The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; • It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and • The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Any Goodwill arising in the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

ii) Group Companies

Dividend and interest revenue

Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the parent company’s functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange diﬀerences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

Interest revenue is accrued on a time proportionate basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the eﬀective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Rendering of services On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange diﬀerences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

f) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when a sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue excludes value added tax and other sales related duties, and is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates, discounts and other similar allowances.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows: Installation fees are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the installation as determined by the proportion of the total time expected to install that has lapsed at the end of the reporting period.

• •

Service fees included in the price of products sold are recognised by reference to the total proportion of the total cost of providing the servicing for the product sold and Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours and direct expenses are incurred.

Rental income

The Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described below under leases.

Other income

Other income is recognised in the period that it is due and receivable.

h) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any, recognised after the date of a revaluation. Valuations, performed by the Group’s Directors or independent external valuers, are performed frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not diﬀer materially from its carrying amount.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) When items of property, plant and equipment are revalued, any accumulated depreciation at the date of a revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount after revaluation equals its revalued amount. Any revaluation surplus (increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation) is recognised in other comprehensive income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (revaluation reserve) in the statement of changes in equity. The increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. If an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease shall be recognised in profit or loss. The decrease, however, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset. The decrease recognised in other comprehensive income reduces the amount accumulated in equity as a revaluation reserve. Upon revaluation, subsequent costs are included in an 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 recognised in profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows: • • • •

Buildings: 50 years; Plant and machinery: 5 to 50 years; Motor vehicles: 5 years; Oﬃce furniture and computer equipment: 4 to 10 years.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the diﬀerence between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. The useful lives and residual values of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period end date, with the eﬀect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Where the residual value of an asset increases to an amount equal to or greater than the asset’s carrying amount, depreciation will cease to be charged on the asset until its residual value subsequently decreases to an amount below its carrying amount.

i) Investment property

Investment property, which is property held for capital appreciation and or to earn rental income, is measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The diﬀerence between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.

j) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting period end date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group’s management makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each reporting period date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

prior periods. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase and recognised in other comprehensive income. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis, over its remaining useful life.

k) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Group as a lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Group as a lessor

Amounts due from leases under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investments outstanding in respect of the leases. The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property via Manica Investments. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Contingent rentals:

Contingent rentals are lease payments, or portions thereof, that are not fixed in amount but are based on the future amount of a factor that is susceptible to change other than with the passage of time. Contingent rents are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The CT Bolts premises where the Group operates from were leased under such terms for part of the current reporting period. Details regarding lease transactions are as disclosed in note 19.

Lease incentives

Lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

l) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

m) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the eﬀect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internallygenerated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets that are acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the diﬀerence between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

n) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows: Raw materials - purchase costs on weighted average cost. Finished goods and work in progress - costs of direct materials, labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

o) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks, cash on hand and short term highly liquid deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For presentation purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

p) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the eﬀect of the time value of money is considered material, the amount of a recognised provision represents the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made

for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by the employees up to the reporting period date.

Warranties

Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised when the product is sold or service provided to the customer. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.

Restructuring provisions

Restructuring provisions are recognised only when the recognition criteria for provisions are fulfilled. The Group has a constructive obligation when a detailed formal plan identifies the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs, and an appropriate timeline. Furthermore, the employees affected have been notified of the plans main features. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

q) Contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination

A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognised in accordance with the requirements for provisions above or the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the requirements for revenue recognition.

r) Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Group’s shareholders and declared.

s) Key management

Key management include Group executive directors and management having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Zimplow Limited, in its parent entity capacity, as well as its Group member entities.

t) Taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly as other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit diﬀers from profit before tax as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are permanently non - taxable or non - deductible.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting period end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax asset against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Value added tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Value Added Tax except: •

•

Where the Value Added Tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the Value Added Tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item applicable; and With receivables and payables that are stated with the

amount of Value Added Tax included. The net amount of Value Added Tax recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position as at the end of the reporting period.

u) Employee benefits Defined contribution plans

Current contributions to the Zimplow Pension Fund, which is a defined contribution fund, and contributions to the National Social Security Authority (NSSA), which are determined by legislation (as promulgated under the National Social Security Act 1989), are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.The Group’s obligations under the NSSA scheme are limited to specific contributions legislated from time to time.

Termination benefits

The Group recognises gratuity and other termination benefits in the financial statements when it has a present obligation relating to termination.

v) Financial instruments Financial assets Initial recognition

The Group’s financial assets falling within the scope of IAS 39: “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” include cash and short term deposits, trade and other receivables, and equity investments in a portfolio of quoted companies on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE). Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of contractual arrangements. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way purchases) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Group management, in line with guidance prescribed in IAS 39, determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The Group has not taken out any derivative instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. The Group’s non–cash and cash equivalent financial asset profile is classified and measured as follows:

Available for sale financial assets (AFS)

Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value. The fair value of the ZSE traded investments is recognised with direct reference to trading prices as published on the Stock Exchange. Gains and Losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) and accumulated in the available for sale revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses. Where the investments are disposed of or are determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the available for sale revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

Loans and receivables

effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

With reference to the Group’s financial asset portfolio, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the eﬀective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the eﬀective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for any related proceeds received.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. Assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. For listed equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the diﬀerence between the acquisition costs and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss, is removed from available for sale reserve and recognised in profit or loss. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the diﬀerence between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs and are presented in the statement of changes in equity as owner based equity transactions.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are limited to trade and other payables, and interest bearing loans and borrowings. The Group’s management has not designated any financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Group’s financial liabilities and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the eﬀective interest method, with the interest expense recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The diﬀerence between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Eﬀective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset/liability and of allocating interest income/expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts/payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset/liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are oďŹ&#x20AC;set and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to oďŹ&#x20AC;set the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

5. GROUP PRIMARY SEGMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2012

5.1 Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on entity components. The Group’s reportable segments under IFRS 8: Operating segments are therefore as follows. • • •

Zimplow, the Company Afritrac the foreign subsidiary Tractive Power Holdings

Zimplow, the Company segment manufactures and distributes animal drawn implements metal fasteners, screws and bolts for the agricultural sector, mining, construction and household furniture industry. Afritrac the foreign subsidiary - distributes animal drawn implementsfor the agricultural sector Tractive Power Holdings a retailer of acclaimed brands through its operating units Barzem (earthmoving machinery), Farmec (farming machinery), Northmec (farming machinery), Manica Road Investments (property) and Puzey and Payne (motoring). In the preceding year reportable segments were presented as follows: • •

The Farming implements segments – manufacturer and distributor of animal drawn implements for the agricultural sector The Fasteners segment – manufacturer and distributor of metal fasteners, wood screws, verandah bolts and high tensile bolts to the mining, construction, agricultural sectors and household furniture industry

During the year the Group purchased a controlling stake in Tractive Power Holdings Limited – a Group with diverse operations. This resulted in change in the structure of the Group’s internal organization in a manner that caused the composition of its reportable segments to change. Segment information for the prior year has therefore been restated.

Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 2. Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administration costs and directors’ salaries. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Transfer prices between operating segments are set on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Internal transactions are appropriately eliminated on consolidation and data aggregation.

The average credit period on local sales of goods is 30 days. No interest is charged on local trade receivables for the first 30 days from the date of invoice. Thereafter, interest is charged at 15% per annum on the outstanding balance. Before accepting any new local customer, the Group uses an internal credit scoring system to assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are constantly reviewed. Included in the Group’s local trade receivables balance are debtors with a carrying amount of US$ 635 953 (2011 - US$ 14 681) which are past due at the reporting period end date for which the Group has provided for them as doubtful debts. The Group has insured these balances and are therefore recoverable. The average age of these receivables is 45 days.

Foreign trade receivables

The credit period on foreign sales of goods ranges between 60 – 90 days. No interest is charged on outstanding foreign trade receivables. Before accepting any new foreign (export) customer, members of the Group’s executive team and foreign sales administrators deliberate the prospective customer’s credit worthiness. Members of the Group’s executive team, its foreign sales administrators and marketing managers often meet prospective foreign customers in order to conduct background and screening checks and attach a credit quality rating before accepting credit trading customers. Credit limits are defined for each foreign customer and set by the executive team. Credit limits and customer quality are constantly reviewed.

The non – cancellable nature of the Group’s leases would ordinarily necessitate disclosures in accordance with IAS 17: 35 (“Leases”). In this regard, future minimum lease payment commitments over prescribed periods would need to be disclosed in accordance with the particulars of lease arrangements. Given the contingent rental payment terms in place throughout most of the current reporting period and in place as at period end, the aforementioned disclosures are not considered relevant and accordingly do not form part of the note. The Group’s contingent rental payment terms, introduced in January 2010, are based on a percentage of the monthly turnover of CT Bolts. Payments are remitted monthly, in arrears, to the former owner of the business unit. Set payment terms are not leveraged or indexed to any external sources and are considered to relate only to the Zimbabwean economic environment.

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

Application Guidance to IAS 39: “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” states that operating lease payments based on turnover is a common contingent rental term within leases that is categorised as an embedded derivative. Such embedded derivatives are however considered closely related to the host lease contract and accordingly, do not have to be separated from the lease contract as a whole. The Group, as lessee, therefore continues to expense such contingent payments as they arise.

20. Financial instruments 20.1 Capital Management The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s strategy remains unchanged from 2011. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Group’s Audit Committee reviews the capital structure. As part of this review, the committee considers the cost of capital and risks associated with each cost of capital. The capital structures of the group consist of issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and Non-controlling interests as detailed in the statement of changes in equity The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and positive capital ratios in order to support the application of its business model and maximise shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and considers making related adjustments to it in line with changes in prevailing and forecast economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend pay-out to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital levels and appropriateness with reference to a gearing ratio. The Group’s policy is to keep its gearing ratio between 15% and 35%. As at 31 December 2012 the Group had interest bearing loans and borrowings amounting to US$ 5 849 831 (2011 – nil).The Company had no borrowings as at 31 December 2012 (2011 – nil).

20.2 Financial Risk Management The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s activities involve the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of some degree of risk or a combination of risks. Taking an acceptable level of risk is core to a business and operational risks are considered an inevitable consequence of being in business. The Group’s aim, in line with its risk management programme, is therefore aligned with achieving an appropriate balance between risk and return, and minimising potential adverse eﬀects on the Group’s financial performance. Risk management is a dynamic process that requires the on-going analysis eﬀorts of the Group’s Directors. The Group’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee fulfil the entity’s risk appetite formulation and management process in consultation with management of the Group’s operating units. The Group’s Directors are of the opinion that the entity does not have significant exposure to financial risk.

Market risk •

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates regionally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the South African Rand and the Botswana Pula. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the Statement of Financial Position as available for sale. The Group’s listed equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification and placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. The Group’s Executive Committee regularly reviews its investment portfolio and considers disposing equity securities when related investee share prices would potentially disadvantage the Group’s position. Similarly, the Group acquires equity securities when gains are anticipated. At the reporting period end date, the exposure to listed equity securities at fair value was US$ 150 611. A decrease of 10% on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) market index, marked as having a similar reducing impact on the specific equity securities within the Group’s investment portfolio at 31 December 2012, would have an approximate pre-tax negative impact in value of US$ 15 061 on other comprehensive income and equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether or not the decline is significant and prolonged. Alternatively, an increase of 10% in the Group’s listed security investment portfolio value would positively impact profit or loss and equity by a similar amount. •

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from medium – long term borrowing arrangements. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Alternatively, borrowings issued at fixed rates expose

Zimplow Limited Annual Report 2012

the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Borrowings are settled as promptly as possible if interest rates are unfavourable and the Group always strives to negotiate the most favourable rates and tenures to avoid both cash flow and fair value interest rate risk. The Group endeavours to maximise interest rates on investments and minimise interest rates on borrowings. The Group policy is to adopt a non – speculative policy on managing interest rate risk. A 50 basis point increase or decrease (equivalent to a 0.5% absolute interest rate change) is considered by management as a reasonable possible change in interest rate terms and would therefore be representative of an approximate loan sensitivity analysis. However, as at 31 December 2012, the Group did not have any exposure to variable interest rate borrowings. •

Credit risk

Credit risk relates to the risk that trade counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss being incurred. Potential concentrations of credit risk consist principally of short term cash and cash equivalents, investments and trade receivables. Credit risk related to cash deposits and equity security investments held in listed concerns: The Group deposits short term cash surpluses only with major banks and financial institutions of high credit standing and within investment limits assigned to each counterparty. Investment limits with banks and financial institutions are assigned by the Group’s Executive Committee in an effort to minimise the concentration of risk and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty failure. The Group’s Board of Directors reviews the limits and investment placements on a periodic basis and approves the Committee’s proposals accordingly, or alternatively rejects related proposals and effects changes to Group policy. The Group similarly adopts the aforementioned approach in formulating policy over equity security investments. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the affected components of the statement of financial position at 31 December 2012 is the aggregate of the carrying amounts as shown therein; Credit risk related to trade receivables: Trade receivables comprise a relatively large and widespread customer base. Group entities perform on going credit evaluations of the financial condition of their customers. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal credit rating assessments after extensive prospective customer background and credit reference checks are performed. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and a full time credit control department exists to independently perform this function. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Accordingly, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk which has not been adequately provided for. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 December 2012 and further specific credit risk mitigating activities adopted by the entity are as shown in note 14. •

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to a risk of a shortage of corporate funds being experienced. Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining suﬃcient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining funding availability under committed credit lines. The Group’s objective is to maintain a beneficial balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and bank loans, whilst always considering the need for potential funding source diversification through the introduction of finance lease or hire purchase arrangements, or the issuance of preference shares. As at the reporting period end date, the Group’s external funding sources were limited to bank overdrafts and interest bearing loans and borrowings. The Group has access to financing facilities, the total unused amount of which is US$ 7 000 000 at 31 December 2012. The Group expects to meet its core trading based obligations from operating cash flows and proceeds from the realisation of its financial assets. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities at 31 December 2012 based on contractual undiscounted payments: GROUP

21. Share based payments

21.1 Employee share option plan of the Company 21.1.1 Details of the employee share option plan of the Company The Company has a share option scheme for executives and senior employees of the Group and its subsidiaries. In accordance with the terms of the plan, as approved by shareholders at a previous annual general meeting, executives and senior employees with more than five years’ service with the Group may be granted options to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price of US$0.09 per ordinary share. Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The number of options granted is calculated in accordance with the performance-based formula approved by shareholders at the previous annual general meeting and is subject to approval by the remuneration committee. In respect of any option, the grantee shall be limited to exercising the option, and the right to exercise the option shall only accrue, as follows: (i)

40% was granted in 2011, vest after 1 year, and will expire after 5 years (i.e 2016).

(ii) 40% was granted in 2012, vest after 1 year, and will expire after 5 years (i.e 2017). (iii) 20% will be granted in 2013, vest after 1 year, and will expire after 5 years (i.e 2018).

21.1.2 Fair value of share options granted in the year The Group was unable to estimate reliably the fair value of the equity instruments at the measurement date due to lack of information in the economy that would enable the Group to estimate the risk free rate over the next 10 years as required by binomial option pricing model. Share options for the Group have been measured at their intrinsic value. The intrinsic value of a share option at any point in time is the diﬀerence between the market price (US$0.065)of the underlying shares and exercise price of the option (US$0.09).The intrinsic value of the share options was US$ 327 000 in 2012 and US$ 65 40 in 2011.
