Goodwill arises on the acquisition of the following entities: | |||
Minerais U.S. LLC | 1 418 | 1 418 | |
Groupline Projects Proprietary Limited (Groupline) | | 24 315 | |
As above | 1 418 | 25 733 | |
Goodwill in the amount of R24 315 000, relating to the acquisition of Groupline, was impaired due to insufficient projected cash flows to substantiate the recoverable amount. The directors are of the opinion that remaining goodwill recognised will be recovered in the form of future cash flows anticipated from Minerais U.S. LLC and is therefore not impaired. |
