ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial
statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2000, except as indicated below, and conform with
Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in South Africa.
Against the background of a new Statement of Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice AC 131 relating to the treatment of goodwill on business acquisitions,
the group's new accounting policy is to recognise negative goodwill.
In compliance with the transitional provisions of AC 131 the carrying values of
the deferred tax asset and negative goodwill following the acquisition of OK
Bazaars during the 1998 financial year, have been restated. Negative goodwill
is amortised over the useful lives of the related assets. This change has no
effect on profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the current or prior
years, only on the calculation of headline earnings.
COMMENTS ON THE RESULTS
1. All the divisions in the group produced satisfactory results during the
period under review. These results were achieved despite the restraining effect
higher fuel prices and lottery ticket sales had on retail spending.
2. As foreseen, the group managed to increase its retail profit margin from
1,65% to 1,88% as the rationalisation process is now fully in operation. Stock
shrinkage throughout the group is still firmly under control.
3. Exceptional items refer mainly to the amortisation of negative goodwill in
terms of the accounting policy set out above. This amortisation is being
implemented on the lines referred to above.
4. The Share Incentive Trust was financed throughout by outside institutions,
thus changing the composition of the net financing income compared to previous
reporting periods.
5. Included in taxation is an amount of R29,9 million (1999 - R 26,3 million)
representing the utilisation of the deferred tax asset. The taxation that is
payable is mainly secondary tax on companies (STC) and tax owing by partnership
ventures in the group.
6. The dispute between the group and SAB over the price at which OK Bazaars was
acquired, has not yet been finally resolved. Consequently the total amount
payable to Shoprite by SAB has not yet been finalised.
PROSPECTS
The Board does not foresee an improvement in consumer spending in the second
half of the year, but is nevertheless of the opinion that the group will
perform satisfactorily.
DIVIDEND
It is anticipated that an interim dividend of 9,5 cents (1999 - 8,5 cents) per
share will be declared at the end of March 2001.
By order of the Board
