4. ACQUISITIONS

4.1 Effective 1 September 2020, Barloworld Mongolia Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Barloworld Limited, was awarded the Caterpillar distribution rights for Mongolia and acquired 100% of Wagner Asia Equipment LLC and a 49% share in SGMS LLC. Our Caterpillar business in Mongolia is engaged in the business of selling and distributing construction and mining equipment, aftermarket and technology solutions as well as rental solutions under the Caterpillar brand. This will enhance the expansion of the Barloworld Group in the mineral rich Eurasia region. The goodwill, intangible and tangible asset values represented are provisional, as this acquisition was completed close to the Group's reporting date.

The transaction is subject to the acquisition of 49% of ordinary shares in SGMS LLC as well as 80% of preference share in SGMS, which together effectively gives Barloworld 90% economic interest in and control of SGMS because the preference share in SGMS have the same rights as the ordinary shares, resulting in a non-controlling interest (NCI) to the extent of 10%. The purchase of SGMS is negligible/immaterial to the whole transaction and therefore they are not split for business combination accounting purposes. NCI is measured by applying the percentage holding of the NCI to the net asset value acquired.
* The consideration transferred (the "Price" per sales purchase agreement) is made up of upfront payment of R2.8 billion ($168.1 million) as set out above, which per the sales purchase agreement (SPA), was paid on 1 September 2020, the effective date of the transaction. This settlement was paid from excess cash resources. A contingent consideration of R151.1 million ($9 million) was raised, arising from an earn-out per clause 2.1 in a third SPA amendment as well as further provisional true-up adjustments to the initial net asset value.
^ The earn-out per schedule 21 clause 11(c) is considered to be an upward adjustment of the amount of the Price for all purposes under the SPA, therefore, a liability is created and included in the consideration transferred as a contingent deferred consideration. The contingent deferred consideration was measured at fair value on 1 September 2020 and is subsequently remeasured based on revenue targets from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2024 with changes to be recognised in profit or loss and included in headline earnings.
  The minimum and maximum amount payable for the settlement of the contingent deferred earn-out consideration are US$nil and US$30 million respectively.
# The purchase consideration is settled in USD whereas the functional and presentation currency of the acquirer is Pound Sterling (GBP). This exposed the acquirer to foreign exchange risk that was hedged using existing USD denominated cash deposit (hedging instrument) designated from 17 March 2020 to 30 June 2020 as a cash flow hedge where the cash flow reserve is applied to the cost of the investment (hedged item) per the Group policy as a basis adjustment. The hedge was fully effective as the same amount of USD was used to hedge the same amount of the purchase consideration. Therefore, the cash flow reserve of R65 million up to 30 June 2020 was added to the purchase consideration.

Acquisition-related costs to the value of R44 million (£2.2 million) were incurred, excluded from consideration transferred and recognised as an expense in profit or loss. There is no specific provision in the tax law regarding the deductibility of goodwill.

4.2 Barloworld Limited ("Barloworld") entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with Tongaat Hullet Limited on 28 February 2020 to acquire 100% ownership interest in Tongaat Hullet Starch ("Ingrain"). The transaction was completed on 31 October 2020, being the transaction effective date. This purchase is done through Barloworld's wholly owned subsidiary, KLL Group (Proprietary) Limited, which will hold the shares in Ingrain.

Ingrain is Africa's largest producer of starch, glucose and related products, and produces a wide range of high quality products for customers across Africa and around the World using maize as raw material.

Barloworld acquired Ingrain, being a different business to its existing business portfolio, to balance out the seasonality of its existing business to deliver a consistent return to shareholder.

1 The consideration transferred (the "Purchase Consideration" as per the Sale and Puchase Agreement (SPA)) is made up of the initial amount of R4.536 billion, payable at the effective date in cash, and the adjustment payment payable when the closing stocktake has been completed after the closing date. The adjustment payment is a contingent consideration in nature as it adjusts the purchase consideration up or down and is dealt with below. Acquisition-related costs to the value of R53 million were incurred, excluded from consideration transferred and recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
2 The contingent consideration of R450 million arises from the adjustment payment which will adjust the purchase consideration when finalised based on stock valuations. This has been added as one of the pre-closing activities, being a closing stock take as well as valuation thereof, and is not completed at closing date. This may result in either party having to pay another the difference between the initial amount paid on the closing/effective date of the transaction and the confirmed purchase consideration due to finalised stock take. It is expected that the stock take should be completed just after the closing date, within 15 business days after the closing date. The R450 million was arrived at using an estimate of the September 2020 working capital carrying values. The contingent consideration was measured at fair value on 31 October 2020 based on the current stock values and will be subsequently remeasured at fair value based on the finalised stock values. Due to the short turnaround of the valuation since the closing date to finalisation of the stock count and valuation, the fair value of the contingent consideration approximate the amount of the purchase consideration agreed. This is a measurement period adjustment, the business combination accounting is incomplete, and the amounts reported on 31 October 2020 are provisional.
  When the stock values are finalised, the business accounting combination accounting on 31 October 2020 will be adjusted retrospectively to reflect the new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of 31 October 2020.
The adjustments to the purchase consideration as a result of changes in the value of the contingent consideration, will be accounted for against goodwill. The range of possible outcomes is not expected to be materially different from the R450 million.
  There is no minimum and maximum for the adjustment payment amount.

Goodwill represents synergies/improvements whereby Barloworld expects that through product development and specialisation (into modified starches) it will be able to create immediate margin uplift and optimise the product mix, whilst the ability to leverage Barloworld's core competencies in distribution within its existing businesses will create additional value. Goodwill will be accounted for in terms of the Group policy where it will be tested for impairment annually with impairment losses recognised in profit or loss but excluded from headline earnings. Goodwill is not tax deductible.

It should be noted that the values used for the business combination accounting above are as at 30 September 2020 because the purchase price allocation is not yet completed as at 31 October 2020 as some assets and liabilities still need to be fair valued.

This has not been completed because the acquisition date is very close to the date the Group financial statements are issued. When the business combination accounting is completed, which should be done by 30 October 2021 per IFRS 3 measurement period, the values allocated to assets and liabilities would be updated with any resulting adjustments accounted for against goodwill.
