To this projected cash flow series, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the cash flow stream associated with the item. With regards to assets, the fair value is estimated using explicit assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset s life including an exit or terminal value. To this end, the Company applies Method 2 of the expected present value technique in terms of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

16. Financial Instruments The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising share capital, share premium, other reserves and retained profit. Additional information can be found in note 10 and note 11 respectively. The targeted level of gearing is determined after consideration of the following key factors: - the needs of the Company to fund current and future capital expenditure to achieve its stated production growth target; and - the desire of the Company to maintain its gearing within levels considered to be acceptable taking into account potential business opportunities and the position of the Company in the business cycle. The targeted level of gearing was adequately managed in the current financial year.

Financial risk management The Company does not trade in financial instruments, but in the ordinary course of business operations, the Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks arising from the use of financial instruments. These risks include: - market risk (comprising interest rate risk and currency risk); - liquidity risk; and - credit risk. The Company has developed a comprehensive risk management process to facilitate, control and monitor these risks. This process includes formal documentation of policies, including limits, controls and reporting structures. The Executive Committee is responsible for risk management activities within the Company. Market risk management Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The market risks that the Company is primarily exposed to include interest rate risk and currency risk. Market risk is managed by identifying and quantifying risks on the basis of current and future expectations and ensuring that all trading occurs within defined parameters. This involves the review and implementation of methodologies to reduce risk exposure. The reporting on the state of the risk and risk practices to executive management is part of this process. The processes set up to measure, monitor and mitigate these market risks are described below. There has been no change to the Company s exposure to market risk or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk since the prior period. Interest rate risk management The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows and invests surplus funds with Massmart Management and Finance Proprietary Limited through floating rate borrowings to fund its operations.
