Critical accounting estimates and judgements

On 1 July 2014 the Group subscribed for 50% of Java Capital (Pty) Ltd ('Java') for a total subscription price of R205 million. Java is 
accounted for as an equity accounted investee and the carrying value of the investment in Java had grown to R241 million as at
31 March 2019 (2018: R231 million). Java Capital's attributable earnings for the year decreased over that of the prior year driven 
by significantly reduced deal flows in both the general corporate finance arena as well as in equity capital markets during the year. 
Given current market conditions in the property sector as well as the level of activity in the equity market as a whole, management has 
identified the impairment indicator and assessed its investment in Java for impairment.

In performing the assessment, management have used a price earnings multiple to determine the fair value of the business to estimate the net 
realisable value. As Java is an unlisted entity, the valuation of Java required the use of management's estimates and judgement in the determination 
of the recoverable amount of the investment. In determining the recoverable amount the following estimates and judgements were applied in the price 
earnings multiple calculation:

1. Five years of historical profit after tax
2. A price earnings multiple of 6
3. An industry discount of 30%

The outcome of the impairment assessment revealed that the carrying value of the Group's investment in Java of R241 million at 31 March 2019 exceeded 
the estimated recoverable amount of R141 million by R100 million. As such, an impairment of R100 million before tax and non-controlling interest was 
recognised in the current year in profit or loss ('Capital items' on the face of the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income). 
The deferred tax effect was not recognised as the likelihood of a future capital gain arising against which a capital loss may be offset is remote. 
The portion attributable to participating treasury shares and non-controlling interest amounted to R17 million.

Restatement of prior year financial statements

1. Adoption of IFRS 9- Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)

The Group adopted IFRS 9 for the first time in the current year. The classification of the Group's financial instruments have been reassessed 
in accordance with IFRS 9.

The outcome of the reassessment is as follows:

IAS 39 classification and measurement approach                               IFRS 9 classification and measurement approach
Loans and receivables at amortised cost                                      Debt instruments at amortised cost
Financial assets held for trade or designated at fair value through profit   Financial assets at FVTPL
or loss (FVTPL)
Available for sale - equity instruments                                      Equity instruments at Fair Value through Other
                                                                             Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
Financial liabilities designated at FVTPL                                    Financial liabilities designated at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at amortised cost                                      Financial liabilities at amortised cost

The adoption of an expected credit loss approach for impairment had no impact on the Group due to the nature of the Group's debt instruments. 
The impact of adoption is concentrated to the treatment of Nala PGR SA Holdings Proprietary Limited's (Nala) (in which the Group has a 30% equity 
accounted interest) underlying listed equity investment which is designated at FVOCI and which is explained in more detail below.

The Group has elected to restate its financial statements for the adoption of IFRS 9.

2. Accounting treatment of non-controlling interests (NCIs)

Nala holds 20% of the ordinary shares of Peregrine SA Holdings Proprietary Limited (PSAH). Peregrine Holdings Limited holds 30% of the ordinary 
shares of Nala and thus the effective NCI percentage held in PSAH is 14%.

Both IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures are silent on the appropriate accounting 
treatment to be applied to a situation in which the Group holds an investment in an associate that in turn holds an investment in a subsidiary of 
the Group. There are two options that are considered appropriate for the accounting of NCIs in this structure: either the NCI is determined after 
considering the associates ownership of the subsidiary (the look through approach), or based on the holdings of the Group in the subsidiary only. 
The treatment of NCI in this scenario is complex and judgemental. The Group upon advice has to date consistently and appropriately applied the '
look through approach' in accounting for the allocation of profit to Nala at its effective shareholding of 14%.

As and when dividends were declared and paid by PSAH, 20% was paid to Nala and recognised as a reduction in NCI (with 80% being paid to 
Peregrine Holdings Limited). Other than an aggregate of R12.5 million declared in May 2017 by Nala to its shareholders (in order to facilitate a 
distribution to the beneficiaries of the Employee Portfolio Trust), no dividends have been declared or paid by Nala to Peregrine Holdings Limited 
(or any of its other shareholders), with all the remaining dividends received by Nala (being in aggregate R405 million) having been utilised, in 
accordance with the terms of the debt facility, to repay and partially retire Nala's external debt funding commitments. The dividend payment to 
Nala was correctly paid at the full contractual 20% as opposed to the effective 14%. The 6% differential between the shareholding and the effective 
interest is akin to an increase in Peregrine's associate interest in Nala and as a result should have been, and has subsequently been, accounted 
for as an increase in Peregrine's investment in Nala, with a corresponding increase in NCI. The Group undertook an extensive evaluation of all NCI 
treatment to identify any other potential errors in the accounting treatment of NCIs. The Group identified one other accounting treatment error 
between NCI and equity attributable to ordinary shareholders which has been incorporated into the restatement. It needs to be noted that neither of 
these prior period errors have had a material impact on earnings or headline earnings and no impact at all on dividends declared and paid to 
ordinary shareholders in any of the previous years.

Excluding Nala's investment in PSAH, Nala has incurred losses in the last three financial years, primarily arising from its investment in a listed 
equity instrument which has been designated as FVOCI under IFRS 9, the effective carrying amount of which is R11 million as at 31 March 2019.

The increase in the carrying amount of the investment in Nala as a result of the above mentioned treatment, means that the Group must recognise its 
attributable share of Nala's losses through other comprehensive income, subject to the limitation set out by IAS 28. Consequently, the Group has 
reflected their share of these losses in other comprehensive income. Nala's other income and expenses are not material to the Group.

3. Presentation of Investec Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)

In the prior year, a classification error between non-current and current liabilities occurred with regards to the RCF with Investec Bank Limited, 
whereby R253 million was incorrectly classified as non-current. In order to align to the contractual terms of the RCF the comparative period has 
been restated by reclassifying the R253 million from non-current to current liabilities. This reclassification had no other effect on the reported 
results of the Group as at 31 March 2018.

4. Quantification of above mentioned matters

These matters have been quantified, and the financial statements restated, with the financial effects of these restatements being as follows:

                                                                                                     Recognition of
