14.1.1 Fair value estimation

Refer to note 7.1.3 of the group financial statements for the applicable accounting policy.

The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy of the company’s liabilities that are materially different from the carrying amount:

  Level 1
Rm
  Level 2
Rm
  Level 3
Rm
  Total
Rm
 
2017                
Current financial liabilities                
Financial guarantee contracts –   –   1 432   1 432  
2016                
Current financial liabilities                
Financial guarantee contracts –   –   3 194   3 194  

Valuation methods and assumptions
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Citibank 1
The fair value of the financial guarantee contract is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, which include the probability of default and the maximum recovery amount.

Citibank 2
The fair value of the financial guarantee contract is determined using the fixed exposure method. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, which include the probability of default, the maximum recovery and interest rate curve.

Eurobonds
The fair value of the financial guarantee contract is determined using the relative valuation method. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, which include the probability of default, the maximum recovery and interest rate curve.

14.2 Credit risk

Refer to note 7.1.4 of the group financial statements for an explanation on credit risk and how it is managed.

The company considers its maximum exposure per class, without taking into account any collateral and financial guarantees, to be as follows:

  2017
Rm
  2016
Rm
 
Cash and cash equivalents 380   1 367  
Trade and other receivables 508   238  
Financial guarantee contracts 34 713   34 328  
  35 601   35 933  

Credit risk is mitigated to the extent that the majority of trade receivables consist of related party receivables of R491 million (2016: R223 million).

The company holds its cash balances in financial institutions with a rating of AA-. Given this rating, management does not expect the counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

Sensitivity analysis

The company has used a sensitivity analysis technique that measures the estimated change to profit or loss of an instantaneous increase or decrease of 1% (100 basis points) in market interest rates, from the rate applicable at 31 December, for each class of financial instrument with all other variables remaining constant. This analysis is for illustrative purposes only, as in practice market rates rarely change in isolation.

The company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in the following market interest rates: JIBAR, prime and LIBOR rates. Changes in market interest rates affect the interest income or expense of floating rate financial instruments. Changes in market interest rates only affect profit or loss in relation to financial instruments with fixed interest rates if these financial instruments are subsequently measured at their fair value

A change in the above market interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit before tax by the amounts shown below.

The analysis has been performed on the basis of the change occurring at the start of the reporting period and assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign exchange rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis as was used for 2016.
