The goodwill of R92 million arising from the acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from integrating these operations into the existing business. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. During the current financial year the following acquisitions were included in the total above: Re Ethical Engineering (Pty) Limited On 14 December 2012, Barloworld Logistics (Pty) Limited acquired 25.1% shareholding in Cyndara 96 (Pty) Limited. Effective 1 April 2015, Barloworld Logistics (Pty) Limited acquired the remaining 74.9% shareholding of the renamed, Re Ethical Engineering (Pty) Limited (“Re’’), resulting in 100% ownership of the entity. The company has subsequently been rebranded SmartMatta. The primary reason for gaining control of Re Ethical Engineering (Pty) Limited, was to provide an integrated solution and line of services to our customer base. General Motors Ferndale Barloworld South Africa (Pty) Limited acquired the net assets of General Motors Ferndale effective 1 December 2014.
