It is their responsibility to ensure that the consolidated and separate annual financial statements satisfy the financial reporting standards as to form and content and present fairly the consolidated and separate statement of financial position, results of operations and business of the Group, and explain the transactions and financial position of the business of the Group at the end of the financial year. The consolidated and separate annual financial statements are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied throughout the Group and supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates. The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established by the Group and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable the directors to meet these responsibilities, the board sets standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost effective manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the Group and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the Group's business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in the Group is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the Group. While operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the Group endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and ethical behaviour are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints. In order for the Board to discharge its responsibilities, management has developed and continues to maintain a system of internal control. The Board has ultimate responsibility for the system of internal control and reviews its operation, primarily through the Audit Committee and various other risk-monitoring committees. Management enables the Directors to meet these responsibilities. The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management, that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the annual financial statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. The going-concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements. Based on forecasts and available cash resources the directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern in the foreseeable future. The financial statements support the viability of the Group. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (with consent from the National Treasury for all Schedule 2 public entities) and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), applying the accrual basis of accounting, the going-concern principle, and using the historical-cost basis, except where specifically indicated otherwise in the accounting policies. The consolidated and separate annual financial statements as set out on pages 15 to 161 were approved by the Board on 29 July 2019 and were signed on their behalf by: MA Moloto YA Ramrup Chairperson of the Board Acting Chief Financial Officer 29 July 2019 29 July 2019 3 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 CERTIFICATE BY COMPANY SECRETARY In terms of section 88(2)(e) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended, I declare that to the best of my knowledge, for the year ended 31 March 2019, the Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa has lodged with the Registrar of Companies all such returns as are required of a State Owned Company in terms of the Act and that such returns are true, correct and up to date. Mashumi Mzaidume Company Secretary 29 July 2019 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 4 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Opinion 1. I have audited the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa (Land Bank) and its subsidiaries (the group) set out on pages 15 to 161, which comprise the consolidated and separate statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019, the consolidated and separate statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the notes to the consolidated and separate financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 2. In my opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the con- solidated and separate financial position of the group as at 31 March 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the require- ments of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No.1 of 1999) (PFMA). Basis for opinion 3. I conducted my audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor-General’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements section of this auditor’s report. 4. I am independent of the Land Bank group in accordance with sections 290 and 291 of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of ethics for professional accountants (IESBA code), parts 1 and 3 of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) and the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit in South Africa. I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA codes. 5. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. 5 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Key audit matters 6. Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgement, were of the most significance in my audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of my audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole and in forming my opinion, and I do not provide a separate opinion or conclusion on these matters.

Before I placed reliance on the work of an auditors’ expert, I assessed independency, objectivity and competency in line with the require- ments of ISA 620 and I was satisfied with this. I assessed the expert’s work by evaluating significant assumptions and methods as well as the relevance and reasonableness of those assumptions and methods in the circumstances. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 6 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in the audit Expected Credit Loss of loans and advances The expert’s conducted the following procedures: • Reviewed management’s approved ECL calculation method- ology documentation for the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) and reviewed this against the requirements of IFRS 9. • Inspected management’s ECL model in light of the requirements of IFRS 9 including key elements such as portfolio segmentation, modelling approach adopted, behavioural life including time on book post default, effective interest rate (EIR) and related dis- counting of cash flows, the use of forward-looking information, significant increase in credit risk (SICR), default criteria and oth- er key judgements and assumptions relevant for the models and assessed against the requirements of IFRS 9. • Independently calculated the ECL through the use of a challeng- er model estimate based on the approved methodology and data provided by management. • Independently calculated model overlays based on the approved methodology and data provided by management. Based on work performed by the auditor’s expert I found man- agement’s credit risk models and assumptions used to determine the expected credit losses to be reasonable and consistent with my expectations. I have determined managements estimate to be within a reasonable range to my expectations. I have assessed the IFRS 9 disclosures included in the annual financial statements and I am satisfied that the disclosures are consistent with the requirements of IFRS 9. 7 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in the audit Valuation of complex financial instruments Valuation of complex financial instru- My audit procedures included assessing the appropriateness of the ments, such as derivatives and invest- valuation technique used by management to value unlisted invest- ments (Unlisted Investments), requires ments. significant judgement in determining the appropriate valuation techniques My audit procedures included assessing the appropriateness of the to apply. valuation technique used by management to value complex financial instruments.

Responsibilities of board of directors for the financial statements 7. The board of directors, which constitutes the accounting authority, is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated and separate financial statements in accordance with the IFRS and the require- ments of the PFMA and for such internal control as the accounting authority determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 8. In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, the accounting authority is responsible for assess- ing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the appropriate governance structure either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 8 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Auditor-general’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements 9. My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial state- ments as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstate- ments can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reason- ably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 10. A further description of my responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements is included in the annexure to this auditor’s report. Report on the audit of the annual performance report Introduction and scope 11. In accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA) and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report material findings on the reported performance infor - mation against predetermined objectives for selected objectives presented in the annual performance report. I performed procedures to identify findings but not to gather evidence to express assurance. 12. My procedures address the reported performance information, which must be based on the approved perfor - mance planning documents of the entity. I have not evaluated the completeness and appropriateness of the per - formance indicators included in the planning documents. My procedures also did not extend to any disclosures or assertions relating to planned performance strategies and information in respect of future periods that may be in- cluded as part of the reported performance information. Accordingly, my findings do not extend to these matters. 13. I evaluated the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information in accordance with the criteria developed from the performance management and reporting framework, as defined in the general notice, for the following selected objectives presented in the annual performance report of the year ended 31 March 2019: Objectives Pages in annual performance report Contribute to transformation in the agricultural sector 163 Environmental sustainability 163 Financial Sustainability 164 14. I performed procedures to determine whether the reported performance information was properly presented and whether performance was consistent with the approved performance planning documents. I performed further procedures to determine whether the indicators and related targets were measurable and relevant, and assessed the reliability of the reported performance information to determine whether it was valid, accurate and complete. 15. I did not raise any material findings on the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information for these objective(s): • Contribute to transformation in the agricultural sector • Environmental sustainability • Financial Sustainability 9 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Other matters 16. I draw attention to the matters below. Achievement of planned targets 17. Refer to the annual performance report on pages 162 to 166 for information on the achievement of planned targets for the year. Adjustment of material misstatements 18. Material misstatements were noted in the Annual Performance Report (APR) for the “Contribute to transfor - mation in the agricultural sector” objective. Management identified these material misstatements after submitting the annual performance report for auditing and have subsequently corrected the misstatements. As management corrected the misstatements, we did not raise any material findings on the usefulness and reliability of the report- ed performance information. Report on the audit of compliance with legislation Introduction and scope 19. In accordance with the PAA and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report ma- terial findings on the compliance of the entity with specific matters in key legislation. I performed procedures to identify findings but not to gather evidence to express assurance. Annual financial statements 20. The financial statements submitted for auditing were not prepared in accordance with the prescribed financial reporting framework and supported by full and proper records, as required by section 55(1) (a) and (b) of the PFMA. 21. Material misstatements on disclosures of collateral held as security and loans by credit quality were identified during the audit in the submitted financial statements. These material misstatements were subsequently correct- ed and the supporting records were provided, resulting in the financial statements receiving an unqualified audit opinion. Other information 22. The accounting authority is responsible for the other information. -The other information comprises the infor - mation included in the annual report, which includes the director’s report, the audit committee’s report and the company secretary’s certificate as required by the Companies Act. The other information does not include the consolidated and separate financial statements, the auditor’s report thereon and those selected objectives presented in the annual performance report that have been specifically reported on in the auditor’s report. 23. My opinion on the financial statements and findings on the reported performance information and compliance with legislation do not cover the other information and I do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 24. In connection with my audit, my responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider wheth- er the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated and separate financial statements and the selected objectives presented in the annual performance report or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact. I have nothing to report in this regard. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 10 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 25. The other information I obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report is various reports from the minister, the chairman’s report, as well as the chief executive officer’s review, the audit committee’s report is expected to be made available to me after 2019-07-31 If, based on the work I have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact. 26. When I do receive and read the audit committee’s report, if I conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, I am required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and request that the other information be corrected. If the other information is not corrected, I may have to retract this auditor’s report and re-issue an amended report as appropriate. However, if it is corrected this will not be necessary. Internal control deficiencies 27. I considered internal control relevant to my audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements, reported performance information and compliance with applicable legislation; however, my objective was not to express any form of assurance on it. The matters reported below are limited to the significant internal control deficiencies that resulted in the non-compliance with legislation paragraph included in this report. Financial and performance management 28. Management did not in all instances prepare regular, accurate and complete financial and performance reports that are supported and evidenced by reliable information. 29. Management did not in all instances review and monitor compliance with applicable laws and regulations as the annual financial statements submitted for audit did not comply with disclosures on collateral held as security and loans by credit quality as required by International Financial Reporting Standards. Pretoria 31 July 2019 11 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Annexure – Auditor-general’s responsibility for the audit 1. As part of an audit in accordance with the ISAs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scep- ticism throughout my audit of the financial statements, and the procedures performed on reported performance information for selected objectives and on the entity’s compliance with respect to the selected subject matters. Consolidated and separate financial statements 2. In addition to my responsibility for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements as described in this auditor’s report, I also: • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forg- ery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the accounting authority • conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting authority’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements. I also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial statements about the material uncertainty or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion on the consolidated and separate financial statements. My conclusions are based on the information available to me at the date of this auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease continuing as a going concern • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and separate financial statements, in- cluding the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation Communication with those charged with governance 3. I communicate with the accounting authority regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit. 4. I also confirm to the accounting authority that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to have a bearing on my independence and, where applicable, related safeguards. 5. From the matters communicated to those charged with governance, I determine those matters that were of the most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore key audit mat- ters. I describe these matters in this auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in this auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest of such communication. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 12 AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT The Audit and Finance Committee (the Committee) has used the King IV principles to continue to drive and embed good corporate governance at Land Bank. The committee’s objectives included fostering an ethical culture, sustainable value creation, effective controls and trust, a good reputation and legitimacy.  COMPOSITION The Land Bank Audit and Risk Committee comprises of independent non-executive directors who are elected annu- ally at the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). The members are: Ms NV Mtetwa (Chairperson), Ms SA Lund, Ms Mathane Makgatho and Dr ST Cornelius, all of whom are independent non-executive directors of Land Bank. The member were elected by the shareholder at the AGM held on 20 August 2018. The qualifications of the members of the committee are listed in the Land Bank Governance Report. The members possess the necessary expertise to execute their duties in relation to the committee.        The Committee has a charter which is reviewed annually and approved by the Board. The Committee also holds private sessions with the Auditor-General and the Head of Internal Audit. Executive directors comprising of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are invitees to the Committee meetings, but are excluded from the committee private sessions. During the financial year the CEO resigned to take up a position at another institution and thereafter the CFO resigned after year end. The committee maintained the objective of good governance within the organisation.  FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE The statutory duties of the Committee are set out in the Companies Act and the Public Financial Management Act. The functions of the Committee are outlined in its charter, which is available on the Land Bank website. The responsibility and functions of the Committee include the review of financial reporting (and their recommenda- tion for approval to the Board), and reviewing the basis on which the company has been determined a going concern. The Committee’s charter allows it to consult with external consultants to assist it with the performance of its func- tions, subject to a board approval process. ANNUAL CONFIRMATIONS OF KEY FUNCTIONS FOR THE YEAR Financial control, financial reporting and the Integrated Report The Committee reviews the Interim Results, Annual Financial Statements, and Integrated Report, and recom- mend those to the Board for approval. This role includes an assessment of the accounting policies and key assump - tions applied in the preparation of the financial statements, as well as dealing technical reporting matters. In doing so, the Committee also confirmed compliance of the Interim Results and Annual Financial Statements with IFRS.  The Committee confirms that it has assessed and confirms the appropriateness of the going concern basis for the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements. The Committee also considered combined assurance in the Group and specific attestations from Internal Audit, External Audit and Risk in order to consider the adequacy and effec- tiveness of the internal controls within the Group. Even though we are comfortable that both these aspects were in place, there is some room for improvement in order to strengthen the control environment and get the full benefits of a combined assurance.   External audit The Auditor General of South Africa (AG (SA)) is the external auditor for Land Bank. The committee nominates the external auditor to the board for appointment by the shareholder, and the Committee approves the terms of engagement and remuneration for the external audit services. The Committee has assessed the independence of the external auditor and has obtained the assurance that the auditor’s independence is not impaired.  13 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Internal audit  The Head of internal audit reports to the chairman of the Committee and the Committee is responsible for the review and approval of the internal audit charter, the internal audit plan as well as the resources of the internal audit department. The Committee evaluated the independence of the internal audit function and is satisfied with its inde- pendence.  Expertise and experience of the finance function and the Group Financial Director Mr YA Yamrup was appointed as the Acting Chief Financial Officer as of 15 May 2019, starting shortly after year end with the commencement of the external audit. The Committee has considered the expertise and experience of the Acting CFO and has concluded that the appropriate requirements have been met. The Board is currently in the process of finalizing the appointment of a permanent Chief Executive Officer. The Committee is satisfied that the expertise, skills and resources of the finance function are satisfactory.  KEY AUDIT MATTERS AS REPORTED BY THE EXTERNAL AUDITORS  The Committee considered the key audit matters as reported by the external auditors in the Auditor General’s audit report. The key audit matters are: • Expected credit loss on loans and dances, and  • Valuation of complex financial instruments  These area also areas of focus for the Committee and are considered as part of the interim and year end reporting process. The Committee considered the appropriate levels of provisioning and impairments. The Committee also considered the oversight role played by the Credit and Investment Committee of the Board and had discussions with the external auditor to satisfy itself in this regard.  IN CONCLUSION  The Committee is satisfied that it had fulfilled its responsibilities in terms of its charter during the year under review and believes that it complied with its legal, regulatory and governance responsibilities as set out in the Companies Act and the Public Finance Management Act.  Ms NV Mtetwa Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee  29 July 2019 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 14 STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT 31 MARCH 2019   Group   Bank     2019 2018 2019 2018 R’000 R’000   R’000 R’000 Assets Cash and cash equivalents 4 3 213 121 2 421 069 3 202 568 2 362 130 Trade and other receivables 5 829 366 320 171 351 562 131 302 Short-term insurance assets 6 254 017 282 382 -

LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 28 SEGMENT REPORTING (BUSINESS) continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 The Group reports in five distinct segments, grouped according to the nature of products and services provided by the respective business units and divisions. The five segments are: - Commercial Development Banking, which consists of 9 Regional Offices and 16 satellite branches spread across the country, provides finance to developing and commercial farmers. - Corporate Banking, which consists of two branches, provides finance to the corporate agri-related businesses. - LDFU, which was established to provide finance for the development of land. The activities of the division were discontinued in 2008. - Group capital which consists of treasury, finance and other central functions. - Insurance Operations consisting of LBLIC and LBIC which provides Life and Short Term- and Crop Insurance respectively. Reporting to the Board is based on segments which engage in business activities that generate revenues and incur expenditure. None of the operating segments meet the criteria for aggregation. Quantitative thresholds The Group reports separate information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds: - Its reported revenue, from both external clients and other segments, is 10% or more of the combined revenue of all operating segments. The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 % or more of the greater of: (i) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss, and (ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss. - Its assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments. Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and separately disclosed, if management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. The Group's reportable operating segments are strategic business units that offer products to various classes of clients. These are managed separately since each segment requires different marketing and technical strategies to service a client base with unique needs. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Cost of funding is allocated based on the monthly average cost of funding for Land Bank and the segment's loan book net of non-performing loan balances as at 31 March 2019. Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Except for cost of funding, other operating costs incurred for central functions managed at Group Capital are not allocated to the operating segments. The Group evaluates performance on the basis of profit or loss from reportable operating segments, excluding non-recurring gains and losses. 29 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 1. General information The consolidated and separate annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which includes all applicable IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (IASs) and Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. A summary of significant accounting policies is set out in note 3. 2. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (with consent from the National Treasury to all Schedule 2 public entities) and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), applying the accrual basis of accounting, the going-concern principle, and using the historical-cost basis, except where specifically indicated otherwise in the accounting policies. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The notes to the financial statements set out areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated group and bank financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Functional and presentation currency The consolidated and separate financial statements are presented in South African Rand, which is the Bank’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Rand are rounded to the nearest thousand (R’000), unless otherwise stated. 2.2 Distinction between current and non-current The Group presents the assets and liabilities in decreasing order of liquidity as it provides information that is more reliable and relevant than a current/non-current presentation because the Group does not supply goods or services within a clearly identifiable operating cycle. 3. Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated and separate annual financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 3.1.1 Adoption of new and revised pronouncements In the current year, the company has adopted all new and revised IFRSs that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. At the date of authorisation of these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019, the following new IFRSs were adopted: IFRS/ IFRIC Details Effect IFRS 15 The objective of IFRS 15 is to establish the principles that an entity No significant impact REVENUE FROM shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements CONTRACTS about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash WITH flows arising from a contract with a customer. CUSTOMERS Applicable to annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 16 LEASES The objective of IFRS 16 is to report information that (a) faithfully Disclosure and impact represents lease transactions and (b) provides a basis for users of of change in Accounting financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of policy amended cash flows arising from leases. To meet that objective, a lessee should accordingly. recognise assets and liabilities arising from a lease. Applicable to annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 30 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 3.1.2 Financial Impact of change in accounting policy IFRS 16 Leases Effective April 1, 2018, the Group early adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and accordingly the information presented for 2018 has not been restated. It remains as previously reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations. On initial application, the Group has elected to record right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability as recorded below with no net impact on retained earnings. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at April 1, 2018. The weighted-average rate applied is 8.8%. The following table reconciles the Group’s operating lease obligations at 31 March 2018, as previously disclosed in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at 01 April 2018. Buildings Vehicles R’000 R’000 Operating lease commitment at 31 March 20181 (50 858) - Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at 01 April 2018. 9 094 - Extension options reasonable certain to be exercised (discounted) (38 797) - Statement of Financial Position - Lease liability at 01 April 2018 (80 561) (10 989) Statement of Financial Position - Right of use of leased Assets at 01 April 2018 80 561 10 989 1 There was no lease commitments for motor vehicles for FY2018, as there was only month to month contract after the old contract expired. 3.1.3 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The company has not applied the following new, revised or amended pronouncements that have been issued by the IASB as they are not yet effective for the financial year beginning 1 April 2018 (the list does not include information about new requirements that affect interim financial reporting or first-time adopters of IFRS since they are not relevant to the company). The Board anticipates that the new standards, amendments and interpretations will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements when they become effective. The company has assessed, where practicable, the potential impact of all these new standards, amendments and interpretations that will be effective in future periods. Statement Effective date IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 1 January 2019 Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation 1 January 2019 Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures 1 January 2019 IAS 19 Employee Benefits - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement 1 January 2019 Annual improvements 2015-17 cycle 1 January 2019 IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts 1 January 2022 IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23 which clarifies application of the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12. The interpretation does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The interpretation specifically addresses the following: • Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately • The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities • How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates • How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty should be followed. 31 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 The group is currently exempt from Income Tax and therefore the interpretation will have no impact on the Group’s Financial Statements. Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Under IFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the contractual cash flows are ‘solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding’ (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification. The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract. The basis for conclusions to the amendments clarified that the early termination can result from a contractual term or from an event outside the control of the parties to the contract, such as a change in law or regulation leading to the early termination of the contract. The amendments must be applied retrospectively; earlier application is permitted. The amendment provides specific transition provisions if it is only applied in 2019 rather than in 2018 with the rest of IFRS 9. The amendments are intended to apply where the prepayment amount approximates to unpaid amounts of principal and interest plus or minus an amount that reflects the change in a benchmark interest rate. This implies that prepayments at current fair value or at an amount that includes the fair value of the cost to terminate an associated hedging instrument, will normally satisfy the SPPI criterion only if other elements of the change in fair value, such as the effects of credit risk or liquidity, are small. Most likely, the costs to terminate a ‘plain vanilla’ interest rate swap that is collateralised, so as to minimise the credit risks for the parties to the swap, will meet this requirement. Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 to longterm interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture (long-term interests). This clarification is relevant because it implies that the expected credit loss model in IFRS 9 applies to such long-term interests. The Board also clarified that, in applying IFRS 9, an entity does not take account of any losses of the associate or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment, recognised as adjustments to the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise from applying IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Entities must apply the amendments retrospectively, with certain exceptions. Early application of the amendments is permitted and must be disclosed. IAS 19 Employee Benefits - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement The amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. Determining the current service cost and net interest. When accounting for defined benefit plans under IAS 19, the standard generally requires entities to measure the current service cost using actuarial assumptions determined at the start of the annual reporting period. Similarly, the net interest is generally calculated by multiplying the net defined benefit liability (asset) by the discount rate, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to: • Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event. • Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using: the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset). LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 32 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Effect on asset ceiling requirements A plan amendment, curtailment or settlement may reduce or eliminate a surplus in a defined benefit plan, which may cause the effect of the asset ceiling to change. The amendments clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognised in profit or loss. An entity then determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement. Any change in that effect, excluding amounts included in the net interest, is recognised in other comprehensive income. This clarification provides that entities might have to recognise a past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, that reduces a surplus that was not recognised before. Changes in the effect of the asset ceiling are not netted with such amounts. The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted and should be disclosed. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts was issued in May 2017 and will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The previous IFRS Standard on insurance contracts, IFRS 4, was an interim standard that allowed entities to use a wide variety of accounting practices for insurance contracts, reflecting national accounting requirements and variations of those requirements. In contrast to the requirements of IFRS 4, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e. life, non-life, direct and reinsurance), regardless of the type of entity that issue these contracts. The General Model (also referred to as building block approach) forms the core of IFRS 17. It is supplemented by: - A specific adaption for contracts with direct participation features (“the variable fee approach”); and - A simplified approach (“the premium allocation approach”) mainly for short-duration contracts. The implementation of IFRS 17 will have different financial and operational implications for each entity that adopts the standard. It is, however, expected that fundamental changes will be required in the following areas: - Liability measurement - Data requirements - Operations and the underlying systems - Management reporting 3.2 Business combinations Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income. 33 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Land Bank and its subsidiaries, LBLIC, LBIC and LBIS (which is currently dormant) as at 31 March 2019. The financial statements of LBLIC and LBIC are prepared for the same reporting year as Land Bank, using consistent accounting policies. Furthermore, the annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of both the Short- and Long-term Insurance acts respectively. Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. The Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to ‘share of profit/ (loss) of associates in the statement of comprehensive income. 3.3 Revenue recognition Interest income In terms of IFRS 9 interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective-interest method taking into account the expected timing and amount of cashflows. The effective-interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset (or group of financial assets) and of allocating the interest income over the relevant period. Interest income include the amortisation of any discount or premium or other differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest-bearing financial instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective-interest-rate basis. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The group assesses the contract and determines whether the fees identified in the contract are in the scope of IFRS If so, the revenue will be recognised only when the group can: - Identify the contract(s) with a customer - Identify the performance obligations in the contract - Determine the transaction price - Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract - Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The group is able to identify the contract when both the client and the group have accepted the terms of the agreement. The contract will also identify all the services (performance obligations) the group will render to the client. Based on this, the transaction price is allocated to each identified performance obligation. The group recognises the revenue once the performance obligation is satisfied, which may occur over time or at a point in time. (i) Fee and commission income Fees and other income and expenses which are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 34 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Other fee income, including account servicing fees, investment management fees, sales commission, placement fees and syndication fees, is recognised as the related services are performed. When a loan commitment is not expected to result in the drawdown of a loan, loan commitment fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the commitment period. Other fees and commission expenses relate mainly to transaction and service fees, which are expensed as the services are received. Raising/ structuring fees are recognised immediately as the costs are incurred as they relate to the execution of a significant act. (ii) Dividend Income Dividends are recognised in the period when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established. Dividend income from financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss is recognised on the last date to register. Preference share dividends are recognised using the effective interest rate method. (iii) Investment surpluses Investment surpluses consist of net realised gains and losses on the sale of investments and net unrealised fair value gains and losses on the valuation of investments at fair value, excluding dividend and interest income. These surpluses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on the date of sale or upon valuation to fair value. (iv) Rental income Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in ‘Non-interest income’. (v) Realised gains and losses The realised gain or loss on disposal of an investment is the difference between the proceeds received, net of transaction costs, and its original cost or amortised cost as appropriate and is recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (vi) Unrealised gains and losses Unrealised gains or losses represent the difference between the carrying value at the year end and the carrying value at the previous year end or purchase value during the year, less the reversal of previously recognised unrealised gains and losses in respect of disposals during the year and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (vii) Insurance premium income Refer to note 3.24.1 and note 3.24.2. 3.4 Expenses (i) Administration costs Administration costs on short-term insurance business consist of directly attributable costs payable to the underwriter and are deferred over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Administration costs that are directly attributable to long-term recurring premium insurance policy contracts are recognised directly to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (ii) Commission Commission is payable to sales staff on long-term and short-term insurance business. Commission is accounted for on all in-force policies in the financial period during which it is incurred. The portion of the commission that is directly attributable to the acquisition of long-term recurring premium insurance policy contracts is recognised directly to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Acquisition costs for short-term insurance business is deferred over the period in which the related premiums are earned. 35 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 3.5 Fruitless and wasteful and irregular expenditure Items of expenditure which meet the requirements of the PFMA for fruitless and wasteful as well as irregular expenditure are separately disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. “Fruitless and wasteful expenditure” means expenditure which was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised. “Irregular expenditure” means expenditure, other than unauthorised expenditure, incurred in contravention of or that is not in accordance with a requirement of any applicable legislation or internal policy. “Fruitless and wasteful expenditure” is recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position until such time as the expenditure is recovered from the responsible person or written off as irrecoverable in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When discovered, irregular expenditure is recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position until such time as the expenditure is either condoned by the relevant authority, recovered from the responsible person or written off as irrecoverable in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 3.6 Leases The Group accounts for Leases in terms of IFRS 16. The Group adopted IFRS 16 effective from 1 April 2018. IFRS 16 specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all major leases. The impact of the transition is shown in note 3.1.2 At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient method to account for each lease component and any non- lease components as a single lease component. The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Lease terms range from 2 to 5 years for offices and vehicles. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 36 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases where the Group is the lessor and retains substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The Bank leases out its investment properties as operating leases, thus generating rental income. The rental income is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term of the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. 3.7 Post-employment benefits and short-term employee benefits Post-employment benefit plans The Group provides post-employment benefits through various defined contribution and defined benefit plans. (i) Defined contribution plans The Group pays fixed contributions into independent entities in relation to several state plans and insurance for individual employees. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay contributions in addition to its fixed contributions, which are recognised as an expense in the period that relevant employee services are received. Retirement fund The Land Bank Retirement Fund which functions as a defined contribution plan and which is subject to the provisions of the Pension Fund Act, 1956 (Act No.24 of 1956) came into operation on 1 November 1994. Defined obligations such as disability and death in service were completely phased out during the 2007 financial year. The Fund is now accounted for as a defined contribution plan as it no longer has any obligation towards members for defined benefits. Contributions are recognised as an expense and as a liability to the extent that they are unpaid. During FY2017, the Land Bank Retirement Fund (“LBRF”) was migrated into an umbrella fund within the Alexander Forbes Retirement Fund (AFRF). The Land Bank Retirement Fund has since applied for liquidation and is awaiting the Financial Services Conduct Authority (“FCSA”) approval, after which the process of liquidation will commence. (i) Defined benefit plans Under the Group’s defined benefit plans, the amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employee’s length of service and final salary. The legal obligation for any benefits remains with the Group, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been set aside. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund as well as qualifying insurance policies. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets. Management estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent actuaries. This is based on standard rates of inflation, salary growth and mortality. Discount rates are determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting periods on government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. They are included as a separate component of equity in the statement of financial position and in the statement of changes in equity. Service cost on the net defined benefit liability is included in employee benefits expense. Net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability is included in finance costs. Medical aid fund The Bank provides a post-retirement medical aid benefit to all employees who were either employees or pensioners of the Bank at 1 December 2005. The fund functions as a defined benefit scheme. The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age. It is the Group’s policy to pay the medical fund subscription fees on behalf of all pensioners in full and to fund the total obligation as and when it arises. 37 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Actuarial valuations of the Bank’s liability are conducted on an annual basis by an independent qualified actuary on the Projected Unit Credit method. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit medical plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date. The benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date is not reflected net of assets since these assets are not held in a legally separate entity that is not available to the Bank’s own creditors. The past service costs and interest costs are accounted for in the statement of profit or loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to other comprehensive income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in full. Short-term employee benefits The cost of all short-term employee benefits is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service on an undiscounted basis. Accruals for employee entitlement to annual leave represents the present obligation, which the Group has to pay as a result of employees’ services, provided to the reporting date. The accruals have been calculated at undiscounted amounts based on current salary rates. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term bonuses in the Group as the Group has a present legal constructive obligation to pay the amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value. 3.8 Income taxation The Land Bank is exempt from income tax in terms of sections 10(1)(cA)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962. The direct subsidiaries of the Land Bank are also exempt from income tax in terms of sections 10(1)(cA)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962. As part of the restructuring of the operations, the tax status of the Land Bank Insurance Company (SOC) Limited and Land Bank Life Insurance Company (SOC) Limited are currently under review with SARS. Please refer to the notes of the annual financial statements for additional disclosure regarding the possible contingent liability raised in this regard. 3.9 Property and equipment Land and buildings comprise owner occupied property. Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 38 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to other comprehensive income and shown as Revaluation Reserves in the Statement of Changes in Equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against Revaluation Reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income, and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from other reserves to retained earnings. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis which, it is estimated, will reduce the carrying amount of the property and equipment to their residual values at the end of their useful lives. Items of property and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and available for use. Land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite life. Where an item of property and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. The major categories of property and equipment are depreciated at the following rates: Building 3% per annum Motor vehicles 20% per annum Computer equipment 33,3% per annum Leasehold improvements Equal months in relation to lease period Furniture and fittings 20% per annum The carrying amounts of the company’s tangible and intangible assets are reviewed at each year end to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. 3.10 Investment property Investment properties (properties that are not owner-occupied), are properties which are held to earn rental income and/ or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period of derecognition. Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and equipment up to the date of change in use. Owner occupied property is classified as investment property where the tenant occupies a significant portion (more than 50%) of the lettable space of the property. This threshold was set due to the Group’s intention to let out any excess office space which exists at the Group’s properties. 3.11 Intangible assets An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets that are acquired and have finite useful lives are initially recognised at cost with subsequent measurement at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Intangible assets are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. 39 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 3.11.1 (i) Computer software Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Computer software license fees are paid for in advance, recognised as a prepayment and expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the license agreement. Should the license agreement extend beyond 12 months, the software license would be capitalised as an intangible asset and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the license agreement. 3.11.2 (ii) Amortisation Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows: Tier 1 asset Software relating to core business applications for which any change to a different 10 years application suite would require a significant investment in resources and time. Tier 2 asset Software that is directly integrated with the core financial systems and additional 5 years developments and modules may have be added. Other Commodity software 3 years Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. 3.12 Impairment of non-financial assets Intangible assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). Prior impairments of non- financial assets (other than goodwill) are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. In assessing value in use, the expected future cash flows from the asset are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if the recoverable amount increases as a result of a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. 3.13 Financial instruments 3.13.1 Classification and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Regular way purchase and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability, such as fees and commissions. Transaction costs of financial assets or financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Immediately after initial recognition, an ECL, is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and investments in debt instruments measured at FVOCI, which results in an accounting loss being recognised in profit or loss when an asset is newly originated. (i) Amortised cost and effective-interest rate The amortised cost of a financial instrument is the amount at which the financial instrument is measured on initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective-interest method of any difference between the initial contractual amount and the maturity amount, less any cumulative impairment losses. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 40 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 The effective-interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset (ie its amortised cost before any impairment allowance) or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. The calculation does not consider ECLs and includes transaction costs, premiums or discounts, fees and points paid or received that are integral to the effective interest rate, such as origination fees. For purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets (assets that are credit-impaired at initial recognition) the group calculates the credit-adjusted effective interest rate, which is calculated based on the amortised cost of the financial asset instead of its gross carrying amount and incorporates the impact of the ECLs in estimated future cashflows. When the group revises the estimates of future cashflows, the carrying amount of the respective financial asset or financial liability is adjusted to reflect the new estimate, discounted using the original effective interest rate. Any changes are recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Fair value The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of instruments that are quoted in an active market is determined using quoted prices where they represent those at which regularly and recently occurring transactions take place. The group uses valuation techniques to establish the fair value of instruments where quoted prices in active markets are not available. For a detailed discussion of the fair value of financial instruments refer to note 11. Financial assets Debt instruments are measured at amortised cost where they have: - contractual terms that give rise to cash flows on specified dates, that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and - are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by holding to collect contractual cash flows. The Group has classified loans, trade receivables and cash at bank as amortised cost. These debt instruments are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method, less impairment. A provision for impairment of loans and receivables is established using the expected credit loss approach on date of initial recognition. A provision is raised using either a 12-month expected credit loss or lifetime expected credit loss approach. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in “Net interest income” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Receivables arising from insurance contracts are also classified in this category and are reviewed for impairment as part of the impairment review of loans and receivables. Investments in equity instruments: For equity investments that are held neither for trading nor for contingent consideration the group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the fair value of these equity investments in OCI. the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. However, it may be reclassified in equity. 41 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for: - Financial liabilities at FVTPL: This classification is applied to derivative financial liabilities, financial liabilities held for trading and other financial liabilities designated as such at initial recognition. Gains or losses on financial liabilities designated as FVTPL are presented partially in OCI (the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, which is determined as the amount that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk) and partially in profit or loss (the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability). - Financial liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets that did not qualify for derecognition, whereby a financial liability is recognised for the consideration received for the transfer. In subsequent periods, the group recognises any expenses incurred on the financial liability. - Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments. (iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Group elected an accounting policy choice under IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” to apply the hedge accounting requirements under IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. As part of the requirements to apply hedge accounting, the Group documents, at the inception of the hedge relationship, the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, the risk being hedged, the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions, and how effectiveness will be measured throughout the life of the hedge relationship. Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is derived from one or more underlying price, index or other variable, and typically comprise of instruments such as swaps, forward rate agreements, futures and options. All derivatives are recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value and are classified as trading except where they are designated as part of an effective hedge relationship and classified as hedging derivatives. The carrying value of a derivative is measured at fair value throughout the life of the contract. Derivatives are disclosed as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. The derivative assets and derivative liabilities are offset and the net position is presented in the statement of financial position as the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends to settle on a net basis. Each swap has the same counterparty and the “net asset/ liability” is as a result of mark-to-market movements. (iv) Cash held under investments The “Cash” held under investments is held with the Asset Managers (external party) to invest on the Group’s behalf. At various stages as the markets move, the Asset Managers may buy and sell shares and bonds, and would invariably have cash on hand at certain points in time. This cash is held in the possession of the Asset Managers and is intended to be used for the purpose of purchasing new financial instruments. The cash is not necessarily available to be used as working capital by the Group and therefore is not disclosed as “Cash and cash equivalents”. (vi) Renegotiated loans Where possible, the Bank seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Management continuously reviews renegotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. Loans with renegotiated terms are loans that have been restructured due to deterioration in the borrower financial position and where the Group has made concessions that it would otherwise not consider. These loans are not considered to be past due after renegotiations but are treated as current loans after the loan has performed for a specified period. These loans continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan’s original EIR. The length of specified period, depends on whether the loan has a monthly or annual repayment profile. Refer to modifications in note 42.5. 3.13.3 Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position when the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 42 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 3.13.4 Derecognition of financial instruments A financial instrument or a portion of a financial instrument will be derecognised and a gain or loss recognised when the Group’s contractual rights expire, financial assets are transferred or financial liabilities are extinguished. On derecognition of a financial asset or liability, the difference between the consideration and the carrying amount on the settlement date is included in finance charges and fair value movements for the year. Upon derecognition of equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative fair value gains/(losses) recognised in other comprehensive income is not subsequently recycled to profit or loss. Financial assets A financial asset is derecognised when: - The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired. - The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either: (i) The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s involvement in the asset. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. 3.13.5 Impairment of financial instruments (i) Impairment of financial assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets since initial recognition by comparing the credit risk of default occurring over the expected life between the reporting date and the initial recognition. In determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group uses its internal credit risk grading system, external risk ratings and forecast information to assess deterioration in the credit quality of a financial asset. The amount of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset discounted at its original effective interest rate. The cash shortfall is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group and all the cash flows that the group expects to receive. The amount of the loss is recognised using a provision for “Expected Credit Loss account”. (ii) Assets carried at amortised cost The Group’s accounting policy for impairment of financial assets changed significantly having early adopted IFRS 9, with effect 1 April 2015 (FY2016), and the expected credit loss model is now applied. The IFRS 9 impairment requirements are based on an expected credit loss model. Key principles of the group’s accounting policy for impairment of financial assets are listed below. The Group assesses at initial recognition of financial assets whether to use a 12-month expected loss approach or a lifetime expected loss approach in order to calculate its impairment provision. A 12-month expected loss approach is used for the following instruments: 43 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 - Purchased or newly originated financial assets that are not credit impaired. A lifetime expected loss approach is used for the following instruments: - Purchased or newly originated credit impaired financial assets. Although some financial assets within the Bank’s portfolio might meet the definition of low credit risk, the Bank opted not to apply this in application of its ECL methodology as given the nature of the Bank’s business it is deemed not to be prudent not to consider whether a significant increase in credit risk exits. For subsequent measurement, the group applies a three-stage approach to the measuring expected credit loss (ECL) on debt instruments accounted for at amortised cost. Assets migrate through the following three stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition: 1. Stage 1: 12-months ECL For exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and that are not credit impaired upon origination, the portion of the lifetime ECL associate with the probability of default events occurring within the next 12 months is recognised. 2. Stage 2: Lifetime ECL - not credit impaired For credit exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that are not credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised. 3. Stage 3: Lifetime ECL - credit impaired If the loan’s credit risk increases to the point where it is considered credit-impaired, interest revenue is calculated based on the loan’s amortised cost (that is, the gross carrying amount less the loss allowance). Lifetime ECLs are recognised, as in Stage 2. At each reporting date, the Bank assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets since initial recognition by comparing the credit risk of default occurring over the expected life between the reporting date and the date of initial recognition. In determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the group uses its internal credit risk grading system, external risk ratings and forecast information to assess deterioration in the credit quality of a financial asset. The Land Bank’s portfolio main risk drivers are weather conditions, which are not predictable on a long-term time horizon, changes in the 12-month PD are considered the best indicator for significant increase in credit risk over the expected life of a financial asset. The Bank assesses whether the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly on an individual or collective basis. For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, taking into account instrument type, credit risk ratings, date of initial recognition, remaining term to maturity, industry, geographical location of the borrower and other relevant factors. The amount of ECL is measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset discounted at its original effective interest rate. The cash shortfall is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group and all the cash flows that the group expects to receive. The amount of the loss is recognised using a provision for “Expected Credit Loss account”. The Bank considers its historical loss experience and adjusts this for current observable data. In additional, the Bank uses reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions including experienced judgement to estimate the amount of an expected impairment loss. IFRS 9 introduces the use of macro-economic factors that which include but are not limited to the World Food Index as well as the Volume of Imports of Goods and Services, and requires an evaluation of both the current and forecast direction of the economic cycle. Incorporating forward looking information increases the level of judgement as to how changes in these macro-economic factors will affect ECL. The methodology, assumptions and macro-indicies, including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 44 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 If, in a subsequent period, credit quality improves and reverses the previously assessed significant increase in credit risk since origination, then the ECL reverts from lifetime ECL to 12-months ECL. 3.13.6 Day 1 profit Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include data from observable markets, the Bank immediately recognises the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ profit) in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income under fair value gains and losses. In cases where use is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the inputs become observable, or when the instrument is derecognised. 3.13.7 Amortised cost of financial instruments Amortised cost is computed using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment and principal repayment or reduction. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. 3.14 Sale and repurchase agreements Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date are not derecognised from the statement of financial position as the Group retains substantially all of the risk and rewards of ownership. The corresponding cash received is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as an asset with a corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest as a liability within cash collateral on securities lent and repurchase agreements, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to the Bank. The difference between the sale and repurchase prices is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of agreement using the effective interest rate (EIR). When the counter party has the right to sell or repledge the securities, the Group reclassifies those securities in its statement of financial position to financial assets held for trading pledged as collateral, as appropriate. Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date are not recognised in the statement of financial position. The consideration paid, including accrued interest, is recorded in the statement of financial position, within cash collateral on securities borrowed and reverse repurchase agreements, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan by the Bank. The difference between the purchase and resale prices is recorded in net interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the EIR. If securities purchased under agreement to resell are subsequently sold to third parties, the obligation to return the securities is recorded as a short sale within financial liabilities held-for-trading and measured at fair value with any gains or losses included in net trading income. 3.15 Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and at bank and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 3.16 Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are initially measured at fair value and, after initial recognition, at amortised cost less impairment losses. if any, except for the following receivables: - Interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting being immaterial, that are measured at cost less impairment losses, if any; and - Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate and the effect of discounting being immaterial, that are measured at their original invoice amount less impairment losses, if any. At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a receivable or Group of receivables is impaired. Impairment losses on trade and other receivables are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred and are measured as the difference between the receivable’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at its original effective interest rate, i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The impairment loss is reversed if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised. 45 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 3.17 Funds administered on behalf of related parties The Group manages funds on behalf of related parties. The net position in terms of legal right to offset of these funds administered on behalf of related parties are separately disclosed in the notes to the annual financial statements. These funds are not carried on the statement of financial position of the Group. 3.18 Trade and other payables Trade and other payables, including accruals, are recognised when the Group has a present obligation arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the Group. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. 3.19 Funding liabilities Funding liabilities were previously carried at amortised cost with certain liabilities being carried at fair value, with the fair value movements being accounted for in profit or loss throughout the year. Upon adoption of IFRS 9, with effect 1 April 2015 (FY2016), the Bank elected to carry all of it’s funding liabilities at amortised cost. The arranging fees that are paid upon acquisition of the liability, are deferred to the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income over the term of the loan facility and included in the interest expense line as these arranging fees form part of the “Effective Interest Rate” of funding instruments. The prepaid arranging fee is carried as part of the funding liabilities. 3.20 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Provision is made for onerous contracts when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each financial year and are adjusted to reflect current best estimates. 3.21 Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Foreign exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in the previous financial statements are recorded in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical-cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 3.22 Related parties The Group operates in an economic environment currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly owned by the South African government. As a result of the constitutional independence of all three spheres of government (national, provincial and local) in South Africa, only parties within the national sphere of government will be considered to be related parties. Key management is defined as being individuals with the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling activities of the Group. All individuals from Executive Management up to the Board of Directors are key management individuals in their dealings with the Group. Close family members of key management personnel are considered to be those family members who may be expected to influence or be influenced by key management individuals in their dealings with the Group. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 46 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 3.23 Contingencies Possible obligations of the Group, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group and present obligations of the Group where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or where the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably, are not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Possible assets of the Group, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group, are not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position and are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. 3.24 Insurance contracts Contracts under which the Group accepts significant risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder or other beneficiary if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder or other beneficiary are classified as insurance contracts. Insurance contracts are classified into two main categories, depending on the type of insurance risks, namely short- term or long-term. 3.24.1 Short-term insurance Short-term insurance provides benefits under crop and agri-assets policies. (i) Recognition and measurement Premiums Gross written premiums exclude value added tax. Earned premiums are accounted for as income when the risk related to the insurance policy incepts and are spread over the risk period of the contract by using an unearned premium provision. All premiums are shown before deduction of commission payable to intermediaries. Provision for unearned premiums The provision for unearned premiums represents the portion of the current year’s premiums written that relate to risk periods extending into the following year. The Unearned Premium Reserve (UPR) is established to recognise the unexpired risk for which premiums have already been written. The UPR is set with reference to the remaining days of each the contracts as at the valuation date for assets and winter crops. This method is in line with the requirements of the Insurance Act of 2017. For the “Hail Summer”, “Multi Peril Summer” and “Horticulture” crop portfolios in the current reporting period, the UPR calculation is based on the incidence of risk over the term of the policy. The risk incidence pattern was set with reference to recent historic claims experience provided by the underwriting manager. In the prior reporting period, the crop insurance was written as a reinsurance inwards agreement over a period of twelve months and the UPR was earned on the remaining days method. The change of earning the UPR on summer crops is a prospective change considering the change from crop being written as reinsurance inward agreement in the previous reporting period to an underwriting management agreement in the current reporting period. Commission Commission is payable to sales staff on short-term insurance business. Commission is accounted for on all in-force policies in the financial period during which it is incurred. Acquisition costs for short-term insurance business is deferred over the period in which the related premiums are earned. 47 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Fee income The reinsurance broker pays the brokerage they earn on reinsurance premiums to the company in exchange for a flat brokerage fee earned over the period of the treaties. This fee income is earned quarterly with the settlement of the accounts to reinsurers. Provision for unexpired risk Provision is made for underwriting losses that may arise from unexpired risks when it is anticipated that unearned premiums will be insufficient to cover future claims, as well as claims handling fees and related administration costs. This liability adequacy test is performed annually to ensure the adequacy of short-term insurance liabilities. Provision for notified claims (outstanding claims) Provision is made on a prudent basis for the estimated final cost of all claims that had not been settled on the accounting date, less amounts already paid. Claims and assessor’s fees are charged to profit and loss as incurred based on the estimated liability for compensation owed to policy holders. Contracted external assessors assess the claims individually. The claims provision includes an estimated portion of the direct expenses of the claims and assessment charges. Claims provisions are not discounted. Provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) Provision is also made for claims arising from insured events that occurred before the close of the accounting period, but which had not been reported to the Group at that date. The provision is calculated based on the requirements of the Insurance Act of 2017 of 1998. Deferred acquisition costs (DAC) Commission and administration fees that vary with and are related to securing new contracts are deferred over the period in which the related premiums are earned, and recognised as a current asset. All other costs are recognised as expenses when incurred. The DAC asset is tested for impairment annually and written down when it is not expected to be fully recovered from future income. The benefits to which the Group is entitled under its reinsurance contracts held are recognised as assets. These assets consist of short-term balances due from reinsurers (classified within loans and receivables) on settled claims, as well as estimates (classified as reinsurance assets) that are dependent on the gross outstanding claims, IBNR and UPR provisions. Amounts recoverable from or due to reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the reinsured insurance contracts in accordance with the terms of each reinsurance contract. Reinsurance liabilities are primarily premiums payable for reinsurance contracts and are recognised as an expense when incurred. The reinsurer’s share of unearned premiums represents the portion of the current year’s reinsurance premiums that relate to risk periods covered by the related reinsurance contracts extending into the following year. The reinsurer’s share of unearned premium is calculated using the same method applied to calculate the unearned premium reserve. Income from reinsurance contracts ceded, that varies with and is related to obtaining new reinsurance contracts and renewing existing reinsurance contracts, is deferred over the period of the related reinsurance contract and is recognised as a current liability. Administration costs Administration costs on short-term insurance business consist of directly attributable costs payable to the underwriting manager and are deferred over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Administration costs that are directly attributable to long-term recurring premium insurance policy contracts will be recognised directly to the statement of comprehensive income. Receivables and payables related to insurance contracts Receivables and payables are recognised when due. These include amounts due to and from agents, brokers and insurance contract holders and are included at amortised cost. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 48 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 If there is objective evidence that the insurance receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the insurance receivable accordingly and recognises that impairment loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Group gathers objective evidence that an insurance receivable is impaired using the same process adopted for loans and receivables. The impairment loss is also calculated according to the same method used for these financial assets. 3.24.2 Long-term insurance These contracts provide long-term life insurance benefits with fixed terms to cover natural persons who are indebted to the Group under mortgage loans, production loans and short-term loans. (i) Recognition and measurement Premiums Premiums are recognised as revenue when they become payable by the contract holder, viz at policy inception. Premiums are shown before deduction of commission. Fees and commission earned Insurance contract policy holders are charged for policy administration services, surrenders and other contract fees. These fees are recognised as revenue over the period in which related services are performed. If the fees are for services provided for future periods, then they are deferred and recognised over those future periods. Underwriting benefits Life insurance policy claims received up to the last day of each financial period and IBNR claims are provided for and included in underwriting policy benefits. Past claims experience is used as the basis for determining the extent of the IBNR claims. Income from reinsurance policies is recognised concurrently with the recognition of the related policy benefit. Liability adequacy test At each statement of financial position date, the Group performs a liquidity adequacy test to assess whether its recognised insurance liabilities are adequate in terms of the Financial Soundness Valuation (FSV) basis as described in SAP 104. The FSV basis meets the minimum requirements of the liquidity adequacy test. If this assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities are inadequate in the light of the estimated future cash flows, the entire deficiency is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Reinsurance contracts held Contracts entered into with reinsurers under which the Group is compensated for losses on one or more long-term policy contracts issued by the Group are classified as long-term reinsurance contracts. The expected claims and benefits to which the Group is entitled to under these contracts are recognised as assets. The Group assesses its long-term reinsurance assets for impairment annually. If there is objective evidence that the reinsurance asset is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to a recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Reinsurance liabilities are premium payable for reinsurance contracts and are recognised as expenses when incurred. Long-term insurance liability In terms of IFRS 4 - Insurance contracts, defined insurance liabilities are allowed to be measured under existing local practice. The company used the FSV method, as described in the Standard of Actuarial Practice (SAP) 104 issued by the Actuarial Society of South Africa (Actuarial Society), to determine the actuarial value of the policyholders’ liabilities. The underlying philosophy is to recognise profits prudently over the term of each contract consistent with the work done and risk borne. In the valuation of liabilities, provision is made for: - The best estimate of future experience; - The compulsory margins prescribed in the Insurance Act of 2017; and - Actuarial guidance also provides for the use of discretionary margins where deemed appropriate. 49 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 The best estimate of future experience is determined as follows: - Future investment return assumptions are derived from market yields of fixed-interest securities on the valuation date, with adjustments for the other asset classes, taking a long-term view. The appropriate asset composition of the various asset portfolios, investment management expenses, taxation at current tax rates and charges for investment guarantees are taken into account. It is assumed that the Group will retain its tax-exempt status for the foreseeable future; - “Per policy” expenses are based on the latest actual expenses and escalated at the estimated annual expense inflation rate. In addition, expense overruns in the medium term were reserved for separately; - Assumptions with regard to future mortality rates are consistent with the Group’s recent experience or expected future experience if this would result in a higher liability. In particular, mortality rates are adjusted to allow for expected deterioration in mortality rates as a result of AIDS; and - Persistency assumptions with regard to lapse rates are consistent with the Group’s recent experience or expected future experience if this would result in a higher liability. Acquisition costs Referral fees are payable to Land Bank branches on long-term insurance business and commission was paid to brokers on the short-term insurance business. Referral fees and commission is accounted for on all in-force policies in the financial period during which it is incurred. The portion of the referral fees that is directly attributable to the acquisition of long-term recurring premium insurance policy contracts is recognised directly to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Acquisition costs for short-term insurance business are deferred over the period in which the related premiums are earned. 3.25 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant judgements and estimates are summarised below: 3.25.1 Impairment losses on loans and advances At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets since initial recognition by comparing the credit risk of default occurring over the expected life between the reporting date and the of initial recognition. In determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group uses its internal credit risk grading system, external risk ratings and forecast information to assess deterioration in the credit quality of a financial asset. The amount of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset discounted at its original effective interest rate. The cash shortfall is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group and all the cash flows that the group expects to receive. The Group considers its historical loss experience and adjusts this for current observable data. In additional, the Group uses reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions including experienced judgement to estimate the amount of an expected impairment loss. IFRS 9 introduced the use of macro-economic factors, and requires an evaluation of both the current and forecast direction of the economic cycle. Incorporating forward looking information increases the level of judgement as to how changes in these macro-economic factors will affect ECL. The methodology, assumptions and macro-economic factors, including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly as to reduce any differences between loss estimates ad actual loss experience. (i) LDFU loan impairments It was concluded in the 2008 reporting period that these loans do not form part of the mandate of the Group and, as such, a moratorium was placed on further approvals and the operations discontinued. The Group suspended the accrual of interest on all LDFU loans. No further disbursements were made since the last disbursement in October 2007. All the loans have since been regarded as non-performing. Refer to the notes to the annual financial statements for information regarding this discontinued operation. During 2018 the Group contracted independent professional valuators to obtain up to date valuations in order to ensure that the carrying values of these loans do not exceed the net realisable values. Where the valuations obtained exceed the carrying values, the directors opted to maintain the current values due to uncertainties surrounding the potential conditions of disposal and legalities. The independent valuation is used, unless there is an unconditional offer of sale on the security held. The realisable value is then adjusted to the value of the offer received. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 50 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 3.25.2 Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques. Where valuation techniques are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the area that created them. All models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, models use only observable data, however, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial instruments. 3.25.3 Insurance (i) Unlisted investments The valuation of unlisted shares, as applied by the company’s asset managers, comply with International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation guidelines. Various valuation techniques are used to arrive at the fair value of investments, including: - Price of recent investment; - Earnings multiple; - Net assets; - Discounted cash flows; - Industry benchmarks; and - Available market prices. The appropriateness of valuations is reviewed annually by the Insurance company’s Investment and Actuarial Committee. (ii) Policy liabilities in respect of long-term insurance contracts The following process is followed to determine the valuation assumptions: - Determine the best estimate for a particular assumption; - Prescribed margins are then applied; and - Discretionary margins may be applied as required by the valuation methodology or if the statutory actuary considers such margins necessary to cover the risks inherent in the contracts. The best estimate of future experience is determined as follows: Investment return Future investment return assumptions are derived from market-related interest rates on fixed-interest securities with adjustments for the other asset classes. The appropriate asset composition of the various asset portfolios, investment management expenses and charges for investment guarantees are taken into account. Decrements Assumptions with regard to future mortality and lapse rates are consistent with the experience for the five years up to the current financial year end. Mortality rates are adjusted to allow for expected deterioration in mortality rates as a result of AIDS. Policy expenses “Per policy” expenses are based on the latest actual expenses and escalated at the estimated annual expense inflation rate. In addition, expense overruns in the medium term were reserved for separately. (iii) Policy liabilities in respect of short-term insurance contracts One of the purposes of insurance is to enable policyholders to protect themselves against uncertain future events. Insurance companies accept the transfer of uncertainty from policyholders and seek to add value through the aggregation and management of these risks. The uncertainty inherent in insurance is inevitably reflected in the financial statements of the Group, principally in respect of the insurance liabilities of the Group. Insurance liabilities include the provisions for unearned premiums, unexpired risk, outstanding claims and incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims. Unearned premiums represent the amount of income set aside by the Group to cover the cost of claims that may arise during the unexpired period of risk of insurance policies in force at the statement of financial position date. At each statement of financial position date an assessment is made of whether the provisions for unearned premiums are adequate. When it is anticipated that unearned premiums will be insufficient to cover anticipated costs and fees, unexpired risk is also set aside. 51 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Outstanding claims represent the Group’s estimate of the cost of settlement of claims that have occurred by the statement of financial position date, but that have not yet been finally settled. In addition to the inherent uncertainty of having to provide for future events, there is also considerable uncertainty concerning the eventual outcome of claims that have occurred but had not yet been reported to the insurer by the statement of financial position date. Process to determine significant assumptions Insurance risks are unpredictable and the Group recognises that it is not always possible to forecast, with absolute precision, future claims payable under existing insurance contracts. Using historical data, the insurance companies aim to establish provisions that have an above average likelihood of being adequate to settle all contractual insurance obligations. Outstanding claims Claim provisions are determined based upon previous claims experience, knowledge of events, the terms and conditions of the relevant policies and on interpretation of circumstances. Each notified claim is assessed on a separate case by case basis with due regard to the specific circumstances, information available from the insured and/ or loss adjuster and past experience with similar cases. The Group’s estimates for outstanding claims are continually reviewed and updated as future developments take place and better information becomes available regarding the current circumstances. The ultimate cost of the claim may therefore vary from this initial estimate. Adjustments resulting through this review are reflected in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as and when identified. The provision for outstanding claims is initially estimated at a gross level. A separate calculation is carried out to estimate reinsurance recoveries. The calculation of reinsurance recoveries considers the type of risk underwritten, the year in which the loss claim occurred and under which reinsurance programme the recovery will be made as well as the size of the claim, and whether there will be a stop loss recovery based on the overall loss ratio of the portfolio. Claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) The policyholders’ liabilities include a provision for the expected cost of IBNR claims. This relates to claims expected to be made by policyholders in respect of events that occurred before the financial year end but that have not yet been reported to the Group by year end. The IBNR is not discounted due to the short-term nature of IBNR claims on crop policies. For short-term business, the incurred but not reported reserve (IBNR) is based on the minimum requirements of the Insurance Act of 2017, as required by the Financial Sector Counduct Authority (FSCA) Board, previously FSB Board Notice 169 issued on 28 October 2011 and effective for the year ends after January 1, 2012. In line with this computation, premiums in different classes of business for the last six financial years are multiplied by an industry wide historical claims development factors introduced separately and the outcomes are added up. The Group underwrites crop insurance under the property class as well as agri-asset reinsurance inwards cover under the motor and property classes. A separate calculation is carried out to calculate the reinsurance portion of the IBNR reserve. The calculation of insurance liabilities is an inherently uncertain process. The company seeks to provide adequate levels of insurance provisions by taking into account all know facts and experience from a variety of sources as well as statutory requirements. Premium provisions - short-term The Group raises provisions for unearned premiums on a basis that reflects the underlying risk profile of its insurance contracts. An unearned premium provision is created at the commencement of each insurance contract and is released as the risk covered by the contract expires according to the remaining days method for the assets and winter crop policies. In the current reporting period, for the new crop policies written through the underwriting management agreement, the unearned premium for “summer hail”, “summer multi-peril” and “horticulture” is calculated according to the claims occurring patterns based on an historic claims analysis of claims incurred. In the prior reporting period, crops written through the reinsurance agreement were released according to the remaining days method over the period of the reinsurance treaty. This is a prospective change with the change in the nature of the underlying transaction from a reinsurance agreement to an underwriting management agreement. At each statement of financial position date an assessment is made of whether the provisions for unearned premium are adequate. If the premium level is deemed to be insufficient based on information available at the statement of financial position date, to cover the anticipated claims and operating expenses, a separate provision is made for any estimated future underwriting losses relating to unexpired risks. This assessment includes estimates of future claims frequency and other factors affecting the need for a provision for unexpired risk and performed annually. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 52 ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 The provision for unearned premiums are first determined on a gross level and thereafter the reinsurance impact is recognised based on the relevant reinsurance contract. Deferred acquisition costs and reinsurance commission revenue is recognised on the 365th basis over the term of the policy. 3.25.4 Classification and measurement of the floating and fixed rate notes, as well as the syndicated loans The Group has classifies floating and fixed rate notes, as well as the syndicated loans as held at amortised cost with all movements in the carrying value being accounted for in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 3.25.5 Basis of allocation of segment revenue, assets and liabilities Funding liabilities are allocated to segments as a percentage of the loans portfolio in that segment. 3.25.6 Depreciation rates, methods and residual values Depreciation rates. depreciation methods adopted and residual values of assets requires judgements and estimates to be made. Changes in estimates are disclosed in the relevant notes where applicable. 3.25.7 Post employment medical benefits The cost of defined benefit post employment medical benefits as well as the present value of the post retirement medical aid obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return of assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and medical cost trends. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. 3.25.8 Management expense provisions and accruals At each statement of financial position date, the Group might be exposed to various liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Such liabilities are provided for if a present obligation has arisen, payment is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Management uses its discretion to estimate the expenditure required to settle the present obligation as at year end, i.e. the amount that the Group would rationally pay to settle the obligation. 3.26 Non-current assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets, disposal groups and discontinued operations classified as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets, disposal groups and discontinued operations are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. In the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the reporting period, and of the comparable period of the previous year, income and expenses from discontinued operations are reported separate from normal income and expenses down to the level of profit/ (loss) after taxes. Property and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held-for-sale are not depreciated/ amortised. 3.26.1 Properties in possession Unsold properties in possession are recognised once ownership has been legally transferred to the Group and the underlying debtor is then derecognised. These properties are included under non-current assets held-for-sale at the outstanding loan balance, which are then valued at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. The fair value is determined using a market-based valuation performed by a sworn appraiser at the statement of financial position date. Realisable value is determined using market-based valuations performed by a sworn appraiser at the statement of financial position date. Maintenance costs are expensed in the period incurred. 3.26.2 Disposal of properties in possession It is the Group’s policy to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly fashion on a willing buyer and willing seller basis. The property to be sold is advertised in the market. Upon receipt of offers to purchase, the offers are evaluated and an offer that makes the most economic sense is accepted. 53 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Group Bank 4.

The interest rate on the employee home loans is fixed at 3% per annum and the fair value of the loans is R0.2 million (FY2018: R0.2 million). The practice to grant home loans to employees was discontinued during 1998.   Pension backed housing loans During FY2017, the Land Bank Retirement Fund (“LBRF”) approached the Land Bank as participating employer to purchase the pension fund backed housing loans in order for the LBRF to be compliant with legislation as they would move the administration of the fund assets to a more effective administration platform. The Fund and participating employer had taken a decision to migrate the Fund into an umbrella fund within the Alexander Forbes Retirement Fund (AFRF). Before the LBRF could be transferred to the AFRF umbrella arrangement all existing housing loans in the fund had   to be settled. The LBRF ceded all its rights under these loans to the Land Bank as participating employer. The LBRF previously issued to members of the Fund in terms of Section 19(5) of the Pension Fund Act (PFA) and the Rules of the Fund allowed for loan repayment terms of 30 years or until retirement, which ever comes first. The Fund ceased granting loans at the commencement of the   National Credit Act (Act 34 of 2005). All pension backed housing loans are derecognised upon repayment, or retirement at which point outstanding balances are settled from Member’s Fund Credits. 5 Refer to note 46 and note 47 for the details on fruitless and wasteful and irregular expenditure receivable.   6 The sundry receivables consist of sundry debtors which are non-interest bearing with no fixed terms of repayment.

Strategic trading The main objectives of strategic trading, in the absence of making a market in Land Bank bonds/ notes, are as follows: - To remain visible in the secondary market; - To monitor debt capital market developments and rate movements; - To maintain relationships with brokers and banks; and - To maintain Treasury systems, Nutron connectivity and training of junior traders. As at 31 March 2019 the bank had no open positions (2018: no open positions) 10. Derivative Assets The Bank’s main driver of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income received on assets and interest expense incurred on funding liabilities. The Bank is exposed to “basis risk” as a result of different underlying reference rates of interest earning assets and interest incurring liabilities, wiz. Prime and Jibar respectively. To manage the Bank’s exposure to “basis risk” and in an effort to protect the Bank’s net interest margin, the Land Bank Board approved an Interest Rate Risk Management Strategy during FY2018; hedging the mismatch moderately between the lending and funding rate. The Bank’s Interest Rate Management Strategy was drafted and is reviewed annually in the context of the Corporate Plan, Risk Appetite Framework, Borrowing and Funding Plan and Treasury Policy Framework. In the current year under review, management’s review revealed that the current hedge documentation and the Interest Rate Risk Management Strategy would strictly not meet the requirements in IFRS 9 to hedge account the interest rate basis swaps. If hedge accounting is not applied to a derivative, IFRS 9 requires gains and losses to be recognised in profit or loss and not in other comprehensive income (OCI). The table below sets out derivative assets and liabilities by the type of hedge relationship in which they are designated.

LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 70 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019   Concentration of credit risk   By the very nature of the Bank’s business it is exposed to credit concentration risk in the agricultural sector, as well as to certain counterparties / group of connected parties mainly within the Corporate Banking loan portfolio. Notwithstanding these risks, there is strategic benefit to the Bank by holding such exposures as the traditional large agri-businesses are often better positioned than financiers to mitigate risk in the agricultural value chain. Furthermore large agri-businesses are characterised by a spread in geographical locations, product /commodity diversification, vertical or horizontal integration in their respective value chains and diverse client risk profiles which mitigates the concentration risk for the Bank.     The current Group policy on credit concentration risk requires that the full Board of Directors approves any exposure in excess of 20% (FY2017: 25%) (50% for certain strategic clients who meets specific credit criteria) of the Bank’s own equity¹ to any counterparty or group of connected parties. Furthermore, all acquired loan books managed through Service Level Agreements have credit concentration risk limits imposed by the Bank to mitigate concentration risk.     As at year-end there was one counterparty (FY2018: one) with individual exposure of more than 25% of the Bank’s own equity¹. This counterparty is also a strategic partner and falls below the 50% threshold. The total exposure of this counterparty at year-end amounted to R2.61 billion (FY2018: R3.5 billion). The exposure was approved by Credit and Investment Committee and the Land Bank Board. The counterparty is abiding to its loan repayment terms and conditions.     ¹ Own equity is defined as equity plus unutilised government guarantees 12.

These assets were on sold to third parties and are in the process of being transferred from Land Bank to the Purchaser, resulting in a reduction of the gross loans.

Where unconditional offers were received, the market value was adjusted to reflect the value of the offer received. The total market value of the collateral held for this portfolio amounts to R6.3 million (FY2018: R398.17 million), forced sale value amounts to R6.3 million (FY2018: R169.3 million). As disclosed in note 24., the LDFU loans entered into by the Group in 2007, were outside the mandate of the Group in terms of the Land Bank Act. As at 31 March 2019, the situation is as follows: The bank has only one liquidated estate in this category. The Final liquidation order was granted on 23 March 2018. Land Bank proved its claim at the first meeting of creditors on 29 August 2018. The security was sold in liquidation and after deduction of the Section 89 costs, an award of R6.3 million will be made to Land Bank. The outstanding rates and taxes were deducted from the purchase price before a dividend can be declared for Land Bank. The dividend payable to Land Bank will further be reduced once legal costs are deducted. A Third Party creditor lodged claim for enrichment they have made a settlement offer to liquidators which is being negotiated. Any settlement figure will further reduce the dividend due to Land Bank. There is also a refund due to Land Bank for security costs paid. Land Bank awaits the final Liquidation & Distribution account and the dividend.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 The land and buildings were valued by independent property valuators as at year end. The methods used for the valuations are based on market rentals, as obtained from independent companies who operate in the area, and the capitalisation rate for the areas, as obtained from the valuator’s report. There are no restrictions on the title of the property and no property has been pledged as security. The Group does not have any contractual commitments for the acquisition of property. IFRS requires that the carrying values of land and buildings if they had to be carried using the historical cost method should be disclosed. As a result of the buildings being purchased many years ago, the latest being 1998, it is not possible for the Bank to determine and disclose the carrying values of each property and in addition to this the values at which the properties were purchased are negligible in comparison to the current carrying values disclosed using the revaluation method. A register containing details of the owner-occupied properties and the revaluation thereof is available for inspection at the Group’s registered office. The opening accumulated depreciation on 1 April 2017 was written back to the carrying amount of buildings when revalued in terms of the net replacement value method. 16. Leased Assets.

LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 90 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 21.2 Development and multilateral funding Land Bank has the following development and multilateral funding lines available: - R1.0 billion loan with the African Development Bank. The purpose of the loan is to on-lend to the Land Bank’s commercial and development clients whom meet qualifying usage criteria. To date R743 million has been utilised with a further R257 million available for qualifying projects. - $93 million funding line with the World Bank. This facility is earmarked to give financial aid to participating financial intermediaries and direct beneficiaries. As at 31 March 2019 R90 million has been utilised. - R899 million funding line with KfW Development Bank. This facility is earmarked to finance small-sized and medium-sized agricultural enterprises. To date the facility has been fully drawn and the Bank expects utilisation to commence in FY2020. - EUR50 million funding line from the European Investment Bank. The facility is project based and will be drawn as and when qualifying projects are financed. As of 31 March 2019, there had been no draw downs against the facility and the Bank expects utilisation to commence during FY2020. This is a general purpose funding facility which aims to promote “Climate Adaption” within the agricultural sector. Disaster relief The Land Bank has secured a R400 million facility with the Industrial Development Corporation for the sole purpose of providing concessionary loans to drought affected customers and is applicable to declared disaster areas as per the Government Gazette. The loan may be used for : * Production rehabilitation * Working capital and operational expenses required minimising further losses to current farming operations * Re-stocking of live stock * Preparing for future seasons necessary to continue the farmers’ normal sustainable farming operations * Enabling “carry-over” debt and consolidation of debt. Loans under this arrangement would only be extended where there is a viable business case with repayment ability, as well as sufficient collateral to cover the potential losses to the Bank. To date R317 million has been utilised with a further R83 million available for qualifying projects. 21.3 Financial Loan Covenants In terms of section 2(b)(ii) of the Banks Act, 1990 (Act No 94 of 1990), the Land Bank is exempt from the requirements of calculating the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). Notwithstanding the aforementioned exemption from the Banks Act, and although the Land Bank is not Basel compliant, the Bank, with effect 1 April 2016, voluntarily adopted certain capital, funding and liquidity risk management principles from the Basel accord with certain Board approved deviations (to cater for the Land Bank’s unique business model) in an effort to enhance the risk management principles relating to Capital, Funding and Liquidity management. As at 31 March 2019, the Bank has deviated from the standard Regulations to the Banks Act and Circulars, Directives and Guidance notes in issuance in respect of the CAR and LCR calculations as follows: Deviations from CAR requirements: As the Bank only has the Government as shareholder and is not allowed to issue shares in the market to raise capital. Therefore should these government guarantee be excluded from capital the only other resource of capital would be retained earnings. The Land Bank’s funding covenants all include the unutilised portion of government guarantees, which are not ring-fenced for funding purposes as Tier 1 Capital, (those of capital/ sustainability nature) as a source of capital supply. Deviations from LCR requirements: Given the unique business model of the Land Bank, including the inability to take deposits and the requirement to have cash available, the Bank deviates from the Banking Regulations in the following areas: 91 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 - The Land Bank’s previous liquidity ratio required the Bank to invest surplus cash with counterparties with rating A and above. Due to operational requirements, investing surplus funds in government bonds will cause excessive trading in bonds which increase the market risk and potential capital losses on cash. The Bank shall therefore deviate from the Banks Act in terms of classifying cash deposits and available facilities as High Quality Liquid Assets. - The Bank has historically enjoyed a 100% roll-over rate from PIC and CPD debt investments and this behaviour is expected to continue. For this reason, the Bank excludes contractual maturities from these institutions from the 30 day maturity profile. - Acknowledge a deviation from the regulation in terms of assumptions made regarding roll-over rates with investors to assess the likelihood of roll-over. The Bank will always apply the minimum roll-over rate (between historic roll-overs and investor discussions) to the calculations of the LCR. These deviations from the Banking Regulations were negotiated with investors and have been included in the funding agreements as financial loan covenants. Below a summary of the financial loan covenants included in the funding agreements: Performance Measure 2019 2018 Target Actual Target Actual Financial Loan Covenants % % % % Total Capital Adequacy Ratio ≥15% 16.46% ≥15% 17.3% Liquidity Coverage Ratio 3 ≥80% 549.8% ≥70% 214.3%2 Net Stable Funding Ratio ≥100% 102.0% ≥90% 108.6% Cost to Income Ratio (Continuing Operations) 1 ≤65% 57.1% ≤65% 60.5% NPL (IFRS 9) ≤10% 8.8% ≤10% 6.7% Open Credit Exposure 4 ≤25% 56.6% ≤25% 1 CTI is negatively impacted by certain FY2018 audit outcomes which included a reclassifications in respect of the Bank’s legacy LDFU portfolio from a “Discontinued Operations: Disposal Group” to “Discontinued Operations. Excluding the impact of the LDFU adjustment CTI is 57.1% (FY2018: 60.5%). On 24 October 2018, the Bank approached all its funders to renegotiate the Cost-to-Income covenant level from current level of 65% to 70%. Many of the funders were supportive of the amendment, and the funding agreements are in the process of being amended to include the revised CTI ratio. 2 Excl. Available committed facilities. LCR = 452.3% (FY2018: 409.3%) incl. Available committed facilities of R2.65 billion (FY2018: R2.65 billion) 3 Target of 90% in respect of the financial year ending 31 March 2020 and 100% in respect of the financial year ending 31 March 2021 and each financial year thereafter. 4 The Open Credit Exposure ratio is only applicable to a multilateral loan agreement with KfW in lieu of the NPL covenant On 12 April 2019 the Bank advised the lender of a potential Event of Default (“EOD”) as a result of the resolution of the last remaining “legacy distressed asset”, which would be resolved for the reporting date. The “EOD” has since manifested and discussions are ongoing with the lender to resolve the matter. These discussions include assessing whether this covenant in its current form is still appropriate. Key to note is that the lender has agreed not to call on the “EOD” If a fully Basel compliant view were to be presented in respect of the CAR, LCR and NSFR the following is noted: Performance Measure 2019 2018 Actual Actual Financial Loan Covenants % % Total Capital Adequacy Ratio 5 11.4% 11.9% Liquidity Coverage Ratio 6 0.0% 0.0% Net Stable Funding Ratio 102.8% 108.9% 5 The minimum capital requirement of the SARB is currently 9.25%, excluding any Bank specific (Pillar 2B) capital charge, any Domestic Systemically Imported Bank capital charge, any capital conservation buffer and any countercyclical buffer capital charge per Directive 5/2013. 6 Cash in Bank accounts does not qualify as Liquid Assets LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 92 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 2019 2018 * Spread to 3 * Spread to 3 month Jibar month Jibar 21.4 Weighted average interest cost of commercial funding (NACM) Short-term: ≤ 1 year 1.00% 0.68% Medium-term: > 1 year ≤ 5 years 2.34% 2.47% Long-term: > 5 years 3.12% 3.22% Total Cost of Funding 1.72% 1.73% Weighted average interest cost of development and multilateral funding (NACM) Long-term: > 5 years ** 1.62% 0.68% Weighted average interest cost of natural disaster relief funding (NACM) Long-term: > 5 years (0.36%) (1.41%) * Weighted average Jibar ** Only includes those funding lines for which there has been utilisation. 22.

Provision for leave pay is calculated on the leave days outstanding at the end of the year multiplied by the cost to company of the employees in terms of   employment contracts.   22.3 Labour disputes   Provision raised in respect of certain labour related disputes regarding legacy matters which are likely to result in probable settlements by the Group.

Discontinued operation classified as held-for-sale During FY2007, the Land for Development Finance Unit (LDFU) entered into loans that were deemed to be outside the mandate of the Group in terms of the Land Bank Act. An independent forensic investigation concluded in September 2007 indicated alleged irregularities in the origination, management and administration of these loans. During October 2007, a moratorium was placed on the approval of any new loans and pay-outs on existing loans.     During July 2008, as part of the formalisation of the turnaround strategy, a decision was made to discontinue the LDFU operation and to dispose of the loan portfolio. The discontinuance decision formed part of the stabilisation phase of the turnaround strategy and has been encapsulated in the then corporate plan approved by the Board of Directors.   As at 31 March 2009, the LDFU operations is a separate reportable operating segment of the Group and it was classified as a disposal group held-for-sale and as a discontinued operation. The disposal of some of the properties have taken place since the discontinuance decision, however, in view of the current market conditions, properties in this portfolio will only be disposed of as and when conditions render it economically viable.     In FY2018 it became evident that the LDFU portfolio no longer meets the definition of a “disposal group” as these properties will not be disposed of together in a single transaction. Upon settlement of these assets, no associated liabilities will be transferred either. Given this, the LDFU portfolio satisfies the definition of a discontinued operation. This was accordingly reported as a subsequent event affecting FY2018 figures and the necessary amendments were effected to FY2018 balances to conform to the FY2018 disclosure framework.   The results of LDFU for the year are presented below:   Group Bank   2019 2018 2019 2018   Notes R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000     Impairment charge on loans and advances 12.5 11 213 (36 023) 11 213 (36 023)   Bad debts recovered 1 717 - 1 717 -   Net loss from discontinued operations 12 930 (36 023) 12 930 (36 023)     The major classes of assets of LDFU classified as held-for-sale as at year end are as follows:     Assets     Loans and advances classified as assets held-for-sale 12 6 259 147 328 6 259 147 328   Group Bank   2019 2018 2019 2018   Notes R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000   25.

The restructured insurance group now consisted of LBIS Holding Co, LBIC (Short-term insurance co) and LBLIC (Long- term insurance co).     As part of the implementation of LBIC’s restructure during FY2014 LBIS group management approached the South African Revenue Services (“SARS”) for a tax ruling to confirm that the tax privileges of the former LBIC, would still apply to the restructured group, as in effect nothing has changed, i.e. all companies effectively remain 100% owned by the Land Bank, albeit “indirectly”.     The tax ruling received back from SARS was negative, stating that because of the inclusion of the LBIS holding company within the insurance group structure, the LBIC and LBLIC operating companies would not be entitled to exemption from Income Tax, as unlike the former LBIC - these companies were not “direct” wholly owned subsidiaries of the Land Bank.   LBIS group management then approached the Minister of Finance requesting approval for the removal of the LBIS holding company, from the group structure.   The Minister of Finance granted approval for the request to remove the LBIS holding company on 14 May 2014. This approval indicated that in terms of the new group structure both LBIC (ST Co) and LBLIC (Ltd Co) can apply for tax exemption in terms of section 10(1)(cA)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962. Furthermore, the Minister requested that the company engage with the FSCA regarding the approved revised structure.   Following the Ministerial approval, management has re-engaged SARS with the application for retrospective tax exemption effective 01 April 2012, for both LBIC and LBLIC to apply for tax exemption in terms of section 10(1)(cA) (ii) of the Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962.     In the unlikely event that SARS does not grant retrospective approval for exemption for these two companies, the Group will be liable for tax for the period 01 April 2012 to 14 May 2014, at which point the implications will be quantified and reported on accordingly. Management is of the view that it is improbable that this approval will not be granted. This possible contingent liability relates only to LBLIC as LBIC was dormant and not trading in the prior years.     The Bank awaits feedback from SARS on the exemption applications submitted.   37. Contingent assets     As at 31 March 2018, LBIC was still in the process of finalising an agreement with ABSA, whereby ABSA would settle half of the benefits they derived from their reinsurance treaties for the 2014/2015 crop season in the form of commission revenue and stop loss protection agreed on the 30% line, less expenses they had incurred in term of broker commission and underwriting management fees.   During the current year under review, LBIC paid an amount of R28.41 million in final settlement to ABSA of the liability that arose on finalisation of the agreement.   Group Bank 38.

Financial instruments   40.1 Credit risk     Definition   Credit risk refers to a loss suffered by a party whereby the counterparty fails to meet its financial obligations to the party under the contract. Credit risk may also arise if there is an increasing risk of default by the counterparty throughout the duration of the contract.     The definition of credit risk includes:   a) Credit evaluation risk: Risk related to the decreased credit worthiness (based on recent financial performance) of a counterparty to a transaction. A creditor may subsequently charge the downgraded entity a higher lending rate to compensate for the increased risk. For a creditor, downgrade risk may eventually lead to default risk. 109 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019   b) Credit concentration risk: Risk related to any single exposure or group of exposures large enough to cause credit losses which threaten the Bank’s capital adequacy or ability to maintain its core operations. It is the risk that a common factor within a risk type or across risk types fails or an event occurs which causes credit losses.   c) Credit default risk: Risk related to the non-payment of interest and/ or capital on a loan by the borrower to the lender. This translates into a loss to the institution as a result of failure by a counterparty to meet its financial and/ or contractual obligations.   d) Counterparty risk: Counterparty risk is the risk to each party of a contract that the counterparty will not live up to its contractual obligations. Counterparty risk is a risk to both parties and should be considered when evaluating a contract. In most financial contracts, counterparty risk is also known as default risk.     As an important partner in the execution of the Bank’s development mandate, the bank however needs to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements to ensure that the Bank’s activities do not lead over indebtedness in this market segment.     Policy and responsibility   The key components of the current general credit policy are the following:   - The primary role of the Bank is to provide finance to the agricultural sector;   - In its mandate, the Bank seeks to satisfy the needs of its customer base while maintaining a sound credit portfolio;   - The Bank insists on a thorough assessment of the client’s financial position and repayment ability during the loan decision process, resulting in better quality credit decisions which result in timeous loan repayments and reduced losses in the event of a default;   - For the vast majority of the products, credit is granted on the basis of insight into the customer’s circumstances and of specific assessments that provide a context for such credits;   - The facilities should match the customer’s credit worthiness, capital position or assets, and the customer should be able to substantiate his or her repayment ability, and   - The Group may assume risks only within the limits of applicable legislation and other rules, including the rules of good practice for financial enterprises.     Credit risk management process   The credit risk management process has four stages. The stage can be summarised as follows:   - Credit origination entails gathering of application information, pre-screening for viability and mandate fit, client assessment and validation of business case through a due diligence.   - Credit assessment entails validation of submitted documentation from origination, risk rating and pricing, viability and affordability assessment, risk mitigation and determining appropriate terms and conditions within the Bank’s risk appetite.   - Negotiating and contracting entails drafting and signing of legal documentation, ensuring all conditions precedance have been met in order effect disbursement of the loan.   - Portfolio Monitoring entails ongoing monitoring and evaluation, including base line studies, to ensure social impact and financial expectations have been met, board representation, business development support by designated teams (agricultural, financial etc.).     Risk classification   The Bank monitors the repayment record of its customers on an ongoing basis to ensure that any deterioration in repayment records is detected as early as possible. As part of the collection process, customers are classified according to risk, and the classification is updated on receipt of new information about the customer.     The main objectives of risk classification are to rank the Bank’s customer base according to risk so as to estimate the probability of default (PD) of each customer. The risk classifications used in the day-to-day credit process are based on point-in-time estimates. This means that the Bank uses a customer’s present general and financial situation as a starting point. A change in the customer’s situation or financial position therefore results in an upgrade or downgrade of that customer. The Bank adheres to the principle that all classifications should reflect the customer’s current situation to the greatest extent possible.     Credit risk - insurance activities   LBLIC is exposed to credit risk through its investment portfolios. To counteract this risk, investment portfolios are managed in terms of investment mandates that are aligned to Insurance companies’ investment strategy. Investment mandates provide guidelines in terms of the average credit quality of financial instruments in the portfolio as well as limits on concentration risk.   LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 110 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019   The insurance companies are also exposed to credit risk in respect of their working capital assets from balances owed by counterparties. The following are some of the main credit risk management actions:   - In terms of long-term insurance policies issued before August 2006, the Land Bank guarantees the payment of the premium;   - Long-term insurance policies issued after August 2006, policyholder debtors outstanding for more than 60 days are not accounted for in premiums. If premium income is not paid within 60 days, the policy lapses if the client does not approve the premium to be added to the loan facility;   - For Group credit life business from 1 July 2016, the intermediary pays the premium net of brokerage and admin fees after 45 days;   - Short-term crop insurance is sold either as a cash or credit policy in the current financial period. Cash premiums need to be settled within 45 days. Credit policies are settled at the end of the season. Policy premiums outstanding after 45 days are then submitted to the attorneys, unless a new agreement is reached with the policyholder;   - On the reinsurance agreement in the prior reporting period, LBIC received the quota share bordereaux from the insurer 45 day after quarter end, which were then settled 30 days later. Outstanding settlements are then referred for legal opinion.   - As reinsurers, LBIC receives quota share bordereaux from the insurer 45 days after quarter end, which are then settled 30 days later; and   - Short-term asset insurance policy premiums are paid to the lead underwriter within 45 days on a co-insurance agreement. Policies are cancelled if premiums are not received in the 45 day period.     Reinsurance credit risk   LBLIC and LBIC makes use of reinsurance to:   - Access underwriting expertise;   - Enable it to underwrite risks greater than its own risk appetite; and   - Protect its mortality/ risk book against catastrophes.     The use of reinsurance exposes the Group to credit risk. The counterparty risks of reinsurers are managed through formal contractual agreements which have been set up between the Group and reinsurers. These agreements include terms and conditions which regulates the relationship between the Group and reinsurers. Credit risk in respect of reinsurance is further managed by placing the Group’s reinsurance only with companies that have high credit ratings. LBLIC and LBIC has quota share reinsurance treaties with internationally AA rated reinsurance companies. In addition to the proportional reinsurance treaty, another layer of reinsurance in the form of a stop loss is in place to limit the total exposure per individual claim. For overseas reinsurers, LBLIC retains 40% of ceded written premiums under quota share treaties and settles payments with the reinsurers 1 year after the placement in order to reduce the credit risk.     LBIC has a stop loss insurance treaty on the crop business with internationally AA- rated reinsurance companies.     For foreign reinsurers on the crop portfolio, LBIC retains 40% of ceded written premium as deposit premium on the quota share treaty, which is released twelve months later. A portion of the outstanding claims is also retained on the quota share accounts each quarter, which is recalculated the following quarter. For the foreign approved reinsurer, the company is issued with an updated bank guarantee through domestic AA rated bank for outstanding balances each quarter. 111 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Group Bank   2019 2018 2019 2018 40.2 Credit exposure R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000     The Group’s maximum credit exposure at 31 March was as follows:     Asset class with asset credit risk exposure 52 053 018 49 227 906 50 117 111 47 484 479   Loans 44 471 715 43 565 790 44 471 715 43 565 790   Cash at bank 3 213 121 2 421 069 3 202 568 2 362 130   Trade and other receivables (excluding prepaid expenses) 821 787 314 966 343 983 126 097   Short-term insurance assets 254 017 282 382 - -   Repurchase agreements 30 257 15 706 30 257 15 706   Hedging derivatives 80 587 8 106 80 587 8 106   Investments * 3 181 534 2 619 887 1 988 001 1 406 650     Asset class without asset credit risk exposure 307 569 259 114 299 077 248 155   Intangibles 13 548 20 279 13 548 20 279   Prepaid expenses 7 579 5 205 7 579 5 205   Investment property 15 250 174 590 15 250 174 590   Long-term insurance assets 7 909 10 753 - -   Non-current assets held-for-sale 163 036 10 085 163 036 10 085 Right of use of leased assets 68 093 - 67 762 -   Property and equipment 32 154 38 202 31 992 37 996     Total assets per statement of financial position 52 360 587 49 487 020 50 416 188 47 732 634     Add off balance sheet items exposed to credit risk   Guarantees issued 38.1 9 790 815 573 9 790 815 573   Loan commitments 38.1 5 062 053 6 751 717 5 062 053 6 751 717   Operating lease commitments - group as lessor 38.3 8 191 5 478 8 191 5 478   57 440 621 57 059 788 55 494 222 55 305 402     Maximum credit exposure - selected items 57 133 052 56 800 674 55 197 145 55 057 247     Credit exposure is calculated on the basis of selected items on and off the balance sheet (guarantees and loan commitments).     Collateral   Refer to note 11.7 for collateral held against the loans and advances.     * Included in the Group investments is an amount of R831.1 million (FY2018: R1 012.6 million) which relates to investments under asset management which do not have credit exposure (Bank: R210.9 million; FY2018: R285.0 million).

The exposure as at 31 March is R23.57 billion (FY2018: R23.61 billion). 117 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 42.5 Credit risk management practices in relation to the recognition and measurement of expected credit losses Having early adopted IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments with effect 1 April 2015, the Group applies a three-stage ap - proach to the measuring expected credit loss (ECL) on debt instruments accounted for at amortised cost. Assets migrate through the following three stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition: 1. Stage 1: 12-months ECL For exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and that there are not credit impaired upon origination, the portion of the lifetime ECL associate with the probability of default events occurring within the next 12 months recognised. 2. Stage 2: Lifetime ECL - not credit impaired For credit exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that are not credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised. 3. Stage 3: Lifetime ECL - credit impaired If the loan’s credit risk increases to the point where it is considered credit-impaired, interest revenue is calculated based on the loan’s amortised cost (that is, the gross carrying amount less the loss allowance). Lifetime ECLs are recognised, as in Stage 2. Methods, inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used to measure expected credit losses Methods used Estimation to determine Method Inputs Assumptions techniques 12-month Expected loss methods PD, LGD and Current PDs are the output PDs: migration and lifetime based on PD, LGD and EAD over the of the calibrated rating matrices for multi- expected credit EAD; expected credit lifetime of the model; PDs in subsequent year migration losses losses are discounted to loan. years are determined based effects, term the reporting date using on migration, seasoning and structure analysis the effective interest cyclicality effects. for seasoning effect, rate. macro-economic The current LGD is the overlay for cyclicality. output of the LGD model; analyses showed that the LGD: LGD model subsequent LGDs are the calibrated with own same as the first year’s data history.

Low credit risk Although some financial assets within the Bank’s portfolio might meet the definition of low credit risk, the Bank opted not to apply this in application of its impairment methodology as given the nature of the Bank’s business it is deemed not to be prudent not to consider whether a significant increase in credit risk exits. Macro-economic factors IFRS 9 introduced the use of macro-economic factors when calculating ECL. To the extent that is is relevant and practical the Group has used macro-economic factors in the ECL methodology. Such factors include but are not limited to the World Food Index as well as the Volume of Imports of Goods and Services, and requires an evaluation of both the current and forecast direction of the economic cycle. Incorporating forward looking information increases the level of judgement as to how changes in these macro-economic factors will affect ECL. The methodology, assumptions and macro-indicies, including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly. For information on financial assets’ credit risk exposure, including significant credit risk concerntrations please see note 40.1 Defaults and write offs: expected credit losses Land Bank defines a default as unwillingness to pay and/ or past due > 90 days. In order to determine whether financial assets are credit-impaired Land Bank considers: - 90 days past due on a material debt obligation; - Credit obligation put on non-accrual status, i.e. Interest is suspended; - Any bad debt write off, or account specific provisions; - Sale of credit obligation at a material economic loss; - Distressed restructuring of credit obligations; - Obligor’s bankruptcy or similar protection such as business rescue. Write off policy The Group defines bad debt as an irrecoverable debt or uncollectible debt, where all the recovery processes and or steps are exhausted and the client or counter parties do not have any means whatsoever to repay the debt that is due and payable and there are no reasonable prospects of success. As a development bank, the Land Bank will endeavour to ensure continuity of agricultural production, and the Group shall only write off bad debt when all reasonable steps have been taken to recover the debt. 119 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Land Bank considers the following indicators when determining whether there is no reasonable expectation of recovery: - Recovery of the debt is not economically justified; - Trace of the client is unsuccessful where efforts and channels to trace the client have been fully exhausted; or - It is to the advantage of Land Bank to effect settlement of its claims or to waive the claim; or - The sheriff has issue a nulla bona return to the effect that there are no further assets available to liquidate; or - The loan security and/or security documents are defective and no other basis for a claim exists; or - A shortfall emanating from the agreed settlement discount offered by Land Bank and/or a compromise has been reached between the client and Land Bank and a condition of such compromise is that Land Bank must write off a portion of the outstanding debt; or - The loan is secured by property where the asset has been “bought-in” following an auction or abandonment process; or - No security exists at the date of insolvency/liquidation/ or business rescue and/or existing security has been sold and the proceeds thereof received by Land Bank leaves a shortfall; or - A deceased estate where there are no assets and there is no security or spouse married in community of property from which the outstanding balance may be claimed; or - A deceased estate where there are no assets however: i) The estate is insolvent and will be administered in accordance with Section 34 of the Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965; or ii) If there is insufficient dividends for the estate and the assets within the estate are of minimal value and / or are not dispensable to the debtor’s dependants; or - The debt has prescribed as defined by the Prescription Act (68 of 1969) as amended; or - Any amount exceeding in duplum inclusive of interest and costs; or - All avenues of recovery, including the realisation of security and sureties, have been exhausted and a shortfall exists; or - Any circumstance which in the opinion of the Chief Executive Office, Chief Financial Officer and/or Executive Manager Legal Services prohibits the recovery of the debt (authorisation in line with the DOP); or - Any circumstance which is in the public interest or may be required as a result of amendments or enactments of legislation. From time to time the Group has financial assets that are written off but may still be subject to enforcement activity. Such financial assets are written off when the aforementioned criteria has been met. Any recoveries due to enforcement activities are treated as bad debt recoveries in the year which such recoveries are made. This amounted to R9.1 million (FY2018: R9.9 million) refer to 11.6. Modification During the year 15 accounts to the value of R154.8 million (gross loans at 31 March 2018) were modified, which resulted in expected credit loss provision releases of R5.40 million during the year. As at 31 March 2019 the gross loans relating to the modified accounts amounted to R159.7 million.

This may be   caused by the Bank’s possible inability to liquidate assets and/or to obtain funding to meet its liquidity needs.     The Group is exposed to liquidity risk via its:   - Ability to borrow from the market, at market related interest rates;   - Ability to attract wholesale funders at favourable interest rates;   - Liquid assets ratios are not adequate for prudential requirements;   - Ability to raise long term funding to match long term assets;   - Lack of standby lines of credit.     To manage liquidity risk, the Bank has a treasury policy that takes into account limits to manage its liquidity. A borrowing and funding plan and a liquidity contingency plan will be maintained taking into account the structure of the Group’s balance sheet as well as its dynamics within the South African agricultural market.     Control and management   The following control measures are in place:   - The Bank monitors the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) measurements as underpinned by the internationally accepted Basel Accord on monthly basis.   - A liquidity committee (a sub-committee of ALCO) meets on a monthly basis to determine the required liquidity levels for the following three months.   - Active and detailed monitoring of clients cash flow requirements.   - The Bank reviews its treasury policies in line with market best practices on an annual basis.   - Actively attracting new investors and funding sources.   - Increased investor limits and appetite.   - A Domestic Medium Term Note (DMTN) programme.   - Active management of maturities.     Monitoring the liquidity position   The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) monitors the group’s liquidity and maturity mismatches. ALCO reviews the quality of funding and ensures that the sources of funding are adequately diversified. It is the Bank’s policy to maintain an adequate liquidity buffer to meet its cash flow requirements.     The Bank manages its liquidity requirements by the issuance of call bonds, Land Bank bills, Land Bank debentures and promissory notes. Loans, undrawn facilities and committed overdraft facilities are also available to the bank should the need for additional funding arise.     Liquidity risk is managed by matching the liabilities with assets that have similar maturity profiles. Expected cash flows are taken into account when reviewing the investment strategy annually for the allocation of financial instruments.     The Bank’s Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a pool of unencumbered assets and additional liquidity as calculated by a behavioural model for credit, market and operational risk. The Bank voluntary adopted certain liquidity and funding risk management principles from the Basel accord with Board approved deviations (to cater for the Bank’s unique business model of being a single-shareholder, non-deposit taking institution that cannot offer transactional products) to report Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ration (NSFR).     Insurance activities   Liquidity risk is first of all managed by matching the liabilities with assets that have similar maturity profiles. Expected cash flows are taken into account when reviewing the investment strategy annually for the allocation of financial instruments. Most of the insurance company’s assets are shareholder’s assets, which are held in highly liquid, open ended instruments. The investment strategy, furthermore allocates assets backing policyholders’ liabilities to short term liquid instruments in the form of cash and bonds in equal proportions.   123 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019   The insurance companies are exposed to daily calls on their available cash resources from claims. Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations when due at a reasonable cost. The companies actively manage their cash resources split between short-term and long-term requirements to ensure that sufficient cash is at hand to settle insurance liabilities and operating expense obligations based on cash flow projections. Reinsurance quota share accounts are settled quarterly, 45 days in arrears. Cash calls can be made to reinsurers for claims in excess of R5 million per risk on the crop cover for LBIC. Both LBLIC and LBIC have sufficient cash resources to cover their obligations.     Liquidity risk is managed by matching the liabilities with assets that have similar maturity profiles.     LBIC invested its surplus cash in a portfolio of short-term interest bearing assets in the current reporting period. The board decided to adopt a conservative investment strategy for the company considering the volatility of crop business.     (i) Asset Liability matching risk   Asset Liability Matching (ALM) risk is the risk that the company’s assets are not adequately matched to back the company’s insurance contract liabilities and financial liabilities.     The main factor effecting the ALM risk is the investment performance of financial assets backing the underlying insurance contract and financial liabilities.     The investment policy allocates assets backing policyholder’s liabilities to cash and bonds. The bonds have varying maturities, but are all immediately tradeable on the bond market. The policyholders’ liability was calculated using the discounted mean term of the liability in the current year. In the prior year, the liability was calculated using the prevailing average medium and long term government bond rates less fund manager fees. The risk is that the rate earned on the investments does not match the rate use to calculate the liabilities. There is a notional allocation of assets to liabilities, with sufficient surplus assets to cover any ALM mismatch.     The remaining financial liabilities, most notably the intercompany loan, are backed by a mixture of cash, bonds and equity.     Liquidity Coverage Ratio   The LCR aims to ensure that banks maintain adequate levels of unencumbered high quality assets (numerator) against net cash outflows (denominator) over a 30 day significant stress period.     Deviation from the Banking Regulations   Given the unique business model of the Land Bank, including the inability to take deposits and the requirement to have cash available, the Bank deviates from the Banking Regulations in the following areas:   - The Land Bank’s previous liquidity ratio required the Bank to invest surplus cash with counterparties with rating A and above. Due to operational requirements, investing surplus funds in government bonds will cause excessive trading in bonds which increase the market risk and potential capital losses on cash. The Bank shall therefore deviate from the Banks Act in terms of classifying cash deposits and available facilities as High Quality Liquid Assets.   - The Bank has historically enjoyed a 100% roll-over rate from PIC and CPD debt investments and this behaviour is expected to continue. For this reason, the Bank excludes contractual maturities from these institutions from the 30 day maturity profile.   - Acknowledge a deviation from the regulation in terms of assumptions made regarding roll-over rates with investors to assess the likelihood of roll-over. The Bank will always apply the minimum roll-over rate (between historic roll- overs and investor discussions) to the calculations of the LCR.     These deviations from the Banking Regulations have been included in the funding agreements as financial loan covenants.   Net Stable Funding Ratio   The NSFR aims to establish a minimum acceptable amount of stable funding based on the liquidity characteristics of an institution’s assets and activities over a one year horizon. It aims therefore to limit over-reliance on short term wholesale funding during times of buoyant market liquidity and encourage better assessment of liquidity risk across all on and off balance sheet items.   LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 124 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019   Cash at bank   The pool of liquid assets (in cash) is invested with reputable financial institutions as informed by the treasury policy.     Trade and other receivables   Past trends indicate that payment has been received timeously and that the fair values post year end fairly reflect the amounts received.

In other words, values of financial instruments may change resulting in both potential gains and losses as a result of: - Changes in interest rates (fair value and cash flow interest rate risk); and - Changes in market prices (price risk). For the Group, market risk mainly emanates from interest rate risk arising from its lending portfolio as well as wholesale funding. The Group’s asset and liability management of the balance sheet is exposed to market risk via interest rate movements. This impacts the Bank’s profitability and net interest margin earned. In other words, the Bank’s main market risk exposure sits in its banking book, as it does not have an active trading book where market risk is assumed. A Treasury policy as well as a Hedging policy takes into account interest rate movement and various limits have been established to effectively manage market risk of the Group. Objective of market risk monitoring The objective of market risk monitoring is to prevent or restrict the impact that adverse movements in market rates or prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices would have on the Group. Market risk - Insurance activities For assets backing policyholders’ liabilities, the risk to the company is that the investment returns earned are below the actuary’s assumptions. For shareholder’s assets, the risk is that capital is not preserved and that investment re- turns earned are below expectations. The company manages market risk through the following: i) Appointment of an Investment and Actuarial Committee. The mandate of this Board sub-committee includes the following: - Implementation of an investment strategy which sets out the investment objectives of the company, the nature and term of liabilities and the risks to which the assets and liabilities of the company are exposed. Assets backing policyholders’ liabilities are limited to interest bearing assets, and are therefore exposed to limited market risks, while shareholders’ assets can include equity and are therefore exposed to greater market risks; - Appointment of investment managers and establishing investment mandates with each investment manager. Investment mandates set out investment guidelines which cover limitations on exposures to volatile assets, the use of derivatives; limits on asset concentration and limits on exposure to particular types of assets such as unlisted equities and property and hedge funds; - Monitoring of the performance of investment managers against “appropriate benchmarks” as well as compliance with mandates; and - Ensuring proper governance in the investment process. Appointment of an independent investment advisor. The responsibilities of the investment advisor are set out ii) below: - Setting of appropriate mandates and benchmarks for the asset managers for performance monitoring; - Monitor implementation of investment strategies; and - Monthly monitoring of and reporting on investment performance. The investment advisor provides quarterly feedback on the performance of investment managers to the Investment and Actuarial Committee who in turns provides quarterly feedback to the LBLIC Board. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 128 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 43.3 Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk of an adverse impact on earnings and market values of assets due to movements of in- terest rates. Most of the statement of financial position items of the Group generate interest rate related revenues and costs. Interest rate risk monitoring The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) consists of the Bank’s executive management and it moni- tors among other things, the implementation of the Bank’s interest rate risk policy. ALCO considers and formulates interest rate views as the official forecast of interest rates. Sensitivity analysis is performed by the Risk Management department where the interest rate risk mismatch limit (fixed vs floating) is set. Fixed/ floating rate funding When interest rates are expected to change, the ratio of the interest rate mismatch between fixed and floating inter- est rates applicable to assets and liabilities can be adjusted in such a manner that the bank benefits from the expected interest rate view. The current interest rate risk mismatch limit is a maximum of 25%, i.e. that the Bank cannot hold more than 25% fixed rate funding as part of its funding mix. The funding split percentage as at 31 March 2019 was 88.8% floating (FY2018: 91.7% floating). Interest rate risk policy The Bank reviews its interest rate risk policy in line with market practices on an annual basis. Sensitivity analysis Sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for derivatives and other financial liabilities and assets at the statement of financial position date. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk and represents management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates on the Group’s net interest income. The effect of a reasonable possible change in interest rates, as explained above, and all other variables held con- stant, the Bank’s profit would be as follows using data as at 31 March 2019: 31 March 2019 31 March 2018 Net interest Effect on Net interest Effect on Bank income equity income equity R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000 Incremental change in yield Expected NII 1 402 570 - 1 325 651 - Potential movement: 100 Basis point up 1 572 271 169 701 1 490 200 164 549 Potential movement: 100 Basis point down 1 232 869 (169 701) (1 161 101) (164 549) The Land Bank’s sensitivity to interest rates has increased slightly over the past year from R165 million to R170 mil- lion and this can be ascribed to the fact that a larger portion of the Land Bank’s funding is fixed. At 31 March 2018, the Land Bank relied on 8.3% fixed funding expressed as a percentage of its total funding while this number stood at 11.2% on 31 March 2019. The Land Bank implemented an interest rate swaps program in the 2017/18 financial year with the implementation of the program being conducted on an increasing scale over a time period of five years, as per the Bank’s Interest Rate Risk Management Policy. The interest rate risk swaps program involves hedging the basis risk that emanates from the mismatch between the Bank’s JIBAR-linked funding liabilities and its prime-linked assets. The underlying nominal values of the Bank’s swaps remain too small to markedly influence the Bank’s interest rate risk sensitivity. As the underlying nominal amounts of the interest rate risk swaps are increased over the next five years as per the Bank’s Interest Rate Risk Management Policy, the effect of the hedging on the Bank’s interest rate risk sensitivity is expected to become more pronounced. Details of the Bank’s hedging program can be found in note 10. 129 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Interest rate risk - Insurance activities The company is subject to interest rate risk resulting in the fluctuation of the fair value of future cash flows of interest bearing assets because of the change in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises primarily from investments in long- term fixed income securities, although the short-term money market instruments are also effected, albeit to a lesser extent. The company holds a variety of government and corporate bonds with varying maturities, which carry fixed and floating interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk is monitored through various methods including scenario and stress testing which calculates the market exposure based on interest rate movements (of -50/100 Basis Points and +50/100 Basis Points). Sensitivity analysis on interest bearing assets The market exposure that was calculated at 31 March was as follows: Impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 31 March 31 March 2019 2018 LBLIC R’000 R’000 Incremental change in yield 100 Basis Points decrease 10 386 13 391 50 Basis Points decrease 4 681 5 513 50 Basis Points increase (4 454) (5 334) 100 Basis Points increase (9 374) (12 382) LBIC Incremental change in yield 100 Basis Points decrease 150 1 167 50 Basis Points decrease 75 583 50 Basis Points increase (75) (583) 100 Basis Points increase (150) (1 167) A portion of the assets backing policyholders’ liabilities are held in bonds and the balance is held in cash and cash equivalents. 43.4 Currency risk The group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currencies, as a result of future transactions and invest- ments in foreign companies. The group makes use of forward exchange contracts to manage this risk. The company closely and continuously monitors the exposure on currency risk. Since the South African Rand is pegged to US dollars, there is no significant exposure expected on US dollars transactions and balances. Even South African Rand is not pegged to Renminbi, the historical exchange rate fluctuation on Renminbi is insignificant. Thus, there is no significant exposure expected on Renminbi transactions and balances. In case of any significant fluctuation expected, the Renminbi transactions and balances would also be monitored and controlled in the same manner as other foreign currencies. LBLIC is exposed to currency risk resulting in the fluctuation in the value of foreign financial instruments because of the change in foreign exchange rates. The company’s exposure to currency risk is in respect of foreign investments made in line with the investment strategy, approved by the Board, for seeking desirable international diversification of investments. The fund managers make use of currency derivatives to limit the currency exposure of instruments in the pooled funds to United Stated Dollars. The following Rand value of assets denominated in foreign currencies are included in the statement of financial position: In respect of purchases and payables, the company controls its volume of purchase orders to a tolerable level and avoids concentrating the purchases in a single foreign currency by diversifying such foreign currency risk exposure.

A 5% increase or decrease in the LGD is used when reporting impairment risk and represents management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in impairment expenses on the Group’s profit. 131 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 Based on the effect of a reasonable possible change in interest rates, and all other variables held constant, the Bank’s profit would be as follows using data as at 31 March: Net impairment Non- charges, interest Interest claims and (expense)/ Loans and Effect on income recoveries income advances equity Rate analysis R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000 31 March 2019 As at 31 March 2019 : Base 5 023 465 324 655 145 909 44 465 456 - Potential movement: -5% 5 019 550 136 170 145 909 44 541 217 (80 952) Potential movement: 5% 5 018 799 17 253 145 909 44 582 841 (39 328) 31 March 2018 As at 31 March 2018 : Base 4 826 977 55 524 222 288 43 418 462 - Potential movement: -5% 4 823 523 233 308 222 288 43 237 224 (181 238) Potential movement: 5% 4 823 140 (137 354) 222 288 43 221 747 (196 715) 43.5 Insurance risk 43.5.1 Insurance risk - long-term LBLIC provides mortgage and credit life insurance for persons who take out loans with the Land Bank. Until 2008, LBLIC only had one product in issue which was a non profit decreasing term assurance that paid the outstanding amount of a Land Bank mortgage loan at death. Since then, LBLIC in conjunction with its actuaries, has developed and issued a number of new generation mortgage and credit life products. Mortality risk Mortality risk is the risk to the Group that mortality experience in future is worse than provided for in premium rates. Higher than expected mortality will give rise to losses and will necessitate an increase in valuation assumptions. This risk is mitigated by the following factors: - Adequate reinsurance arrangements to limit exposure per individual and manage concentration of risks; - Adequate pricing and reserving; - Specific testing for HIV/ AIDS is carried out in cases where applications for risk cover exceed a set limit; and - Annual reviews of mortality and morbidity experience are conducted by the statutory actuary to ensure that corrective action is taken where necessary. Persistency risk Persistency risk (lapse risk) relates to policies being terminated before their final due dates as a result of an increased number of mortgage loans that are paid up before their final settlement dates and an increasing number of farmers transferring loans to trusts, close corporations and companies which result in the cancellation of policies. The Group’s reserving policy is based on actual experience, adjusted for expected future changes in experience, to ensure that adequate provision is made for lapses. Expense risk Before expenses are incurred, they are checked for budget availability. For the exceptional expenses, the company has a certain approval process. This is monitored in monthly reporting by comparing actual and budgeted expenses. Reinsurance risk LBLIC has reinsurance cover to reduce risks proportionally, as well as to limit exposure per event in order to limit the impact per event on the current year’s earnings. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 132 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 The cover is placed on the local reinsurance market. The core components of the reinsurance program comprise: - Individual excess of loss which limits exposure per policyholder to R1 million, prior to the effect of the 50% quota share treaty; and - Individual quota share which provides protection of 50% of the risk per policy, to the maximum of R1 million. The LBLIC Board approves the reinsurance renewal process on an annual basis. The reinsurance program is in place with a local reinsurer which has a credit rating of AA-. Claims risk The risk that the Group may pay out fraudulent claims is mitigated by trained client service staff to ensure that fraudulent claims are identified and investigated thoroughly. The legitimacy of claims is verified by internal, financial and operating controls that are designed to contain and monitor claims risks. It is also the risk that a change in value caused by the ultimate costs for full contractual obligations which varies from those assumed when these obligations were estimated. Estimated claims are monitored periodically and updated based on the latest information if needed. Furthermore, an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary annually. Reserves are maintained at levels that are aligned to statutory requirements. As at 31 March 2019, LBLIC believes that its IBNR liability for claims is adequate. There were no outstanding claims. Sensitivity analysis The objective of the sensitivity analysis is to demonstrate the effect on the policyholders’ liability for changes in key assumptions underlying the valuation of liabilities. The sensitivity analysis illustrates the effect of a change in a particular assumption on the value of the policyholders’ liability as at 31 March 2018, but this cannot generally be used to determine how future earnings or profitability will be affected. The percentage change in the assumptions chosen for the sensitivity analysis is to illustrate the change in value given the change in assumption and does not represent the possible range of worst or best case experience expected. For a given change in one assumption, all other assumptions are left unchanged. No allowance has been made for any possible management action in response to a particular change. Lapse experience is not included in the analysis as lapses have not been modelled explicitly (the actuarial reserve for any policy that had a negative reserve was increased to zero, and there are no surrender values under any policies. Lapses and other terminations will therefore result in an actuarial surplus at each future valuation). 133 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 2019        Value   Change Policyholders’ liability - Individual Life    R’000   R’000 % Base value        39 649       1% from 8.3% to 9.3% 38 611   (1 039) (2.62%) Investment return -1% from 8.3% to 7.3% 40 785   1 135 2.86% Mortality 10% 1.1 x mortality 41 274   1 625 4.10% -10% 0.9 x mortality 37 984   (1 665) (4.20%) 5% from 80% to 84% 40 526   877 2.21% Expenses -5% from 80% to 76% 38 771   (878) (2.21%) 2019*        Policyholders’ liability - Group Life     Base value     -       1% from 7.3% to 8.3% -   -   Investment return -1% from 7.3% to 6.3% -   -   10% 1.1 x mortality -   -   Mortality -10% 0.9 x mortality -   -   * The results at group are all zero mainly because of only negative reserves coming through this year in the currect year.

LBIC manages insurance risks through its underwriting strategy and reinsurance arrangements. LBIC provides indemnity for crops while still on the field, against hail, drought, fire and excessive rain fall. Cover ceases as soon as harvesting has taken place, or when certain date limits have been reached. Motor cover insures risks associated with the possession and use of vehicles. Property cover insures risks associated with the ownership of moveable and immovable assets, other than those covered specifically in another class. Engineering cover insures risks associated with the possession and use of machinery or equipment in the form of irrigation systems on farms. Liability cover insures risks relating to the incurring of a liability other than relating to a risk covered more specifically under another insurance contract. LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 134 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Insurance risk arises from: - Fluctuations in the timing, frequency and severity of claims and claim settlements relative to expectations; - Inaccurate pricing of risks when underwritten; - Inadequate reinsurance protection; - Inadequate reserving; and - Fraudulent claims. The risks under any one insurance contract are the frequency with which the insured event occurs and the uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claims. The principal risks the insurance companies face are that the actual claims and benefit payments exceed the premiums charged for the risks assumed and that the reserves set aside for policyholders’ liabilities, whether they are known or still to be reported, provide to be insufficient. Premium provision tables based on historical claims data are reviewed annually by external actuarial consultants. External assessors assist with quantifying the value of claims reported. By the very nature of an insurance contract, this risk is random and therefore unpredictable. Changing risk parameters and unforeseen factors, such as patterns of economic and geographical circumstances as well as climate change, may result in unexpected large claims. Insurance events are random and the actual number of claims and benefits will vary from year to year from the estimate established. (i) Pricing risk Both LBLIC and LBIC bases their pricing policy on the theory of probability, with consideration to historical claims data. Acquisition and administration costs, as well as reinsurance costs are included in the pricing considerations as well as a profit loading for the cost of capital. Underwriting limits are set for the underwriting manager and brokers. Underwriting performance is monitored continuously and the pricing is adjusted accordingly. Risk factors considered as part of the review include factors such as the type of asset covered and the related commodity price, past loss experiences and risk measures taken by the insured. The net claims ratio for LBIC, which are important in monitoring insurance risk are summarised below: Loss history 2019 2018 LBIC: Net insurance benefits and claims on short-term business expressed as a % of net earned premiums (102%) (107%) Factors that aggravate insurance risk include a lack of risk diversification in terms of type and amount of risk, geographical location, catastrophic events and agricultural sectors covered. A stop loss reinsurance treaty mitigates the risk arising from this by capping the crop loss ratio to 105% for the season. Sensitivity analysis The objective of the sensitivity analysis is to demonstrate the effect on the underwriting result the change is in key assumptions. The sensitivity analysis illustrates the effect or change in a particular assumption on the underwriting result, but cannot be used to determine how future earnings or profits will be effected. The percentage change in an assumption for the sensitivity analysis is to illustrate the change in value given the change in assumption, but does not represent the possible range of best or worse case experience expected. For a given change in once assumption, all other assumptions are left unchanged. No allowance has been made for possible management action in response to a particular change. 135 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 2019 Value Change Underwriting result Loss Ratio R’000 R’000 % Reported results       (54 913)         +10%   (53 257) 1 656 (3%) Premium   -10%   (56 568) (1 656) 3% Claims +5% 107% (63 132) (8 220) 15% -5% 97% (46 693) 8 220 (15%) Expenses +15%   (57 892) (2 979) 5% -15%   51 934 2 979 (5%) 2018 Value Change Underwriting result Loss Ratio R’000 R’000   % Reported results     (68 088)         +10%   (66 305) 1 783 (3%) Premium   -10%   (69 872) (1 783) 3% Claims   +5% 112% (75 461) (7 372) 11%   -5% 102% (60 716) 7 372 (11%)   +15%   (71 128) (3 040) 4% Expenses   -15%   (65 049) 3 040 (4%) (ii) Claims risk The risk that the Group may pay out fraudulent claims is mitigated by trained client service staff to ensure that fraudulent claims are identified and investigated thoroughly.

The Group utilises independent assessors who appraise and confirm claims as well as quantification by the underwriting manager channel. Furthermore, an actuarial valuation is done by an independent actuary annually. Reserves are maintained at levels that are aligned to statutory requirements. As at 31 March 2019, both LBLIC and LBIC believe that their liabilities for claims are adequate. (iii) Reinsurance LBLIC and LBIC have third party reinsurance cover to reduce risks from single events or accumulations of risks that could have a significant impact on the current year’s earnings and capital. This cover is placed on the international reinsurance market. The core components of the reinsurance programme comprise of: Long-term insurance contracts - Individual excess of loss which limits exposure to R1 million per client, prior to the quota share treaty; and - Individual quota share which provides protection to 50% of the retained portion after excess of loss. Short-term insurance contracts - Individual quota share cover on crop, which provides protection to limit losses to 30% per event; - Individual quota share cover on agri-assets, which provides protection to limit losses to 40% of 100% on the 70% co-insurance agreement per risk; and - Stop loss cover for losses over 105% to 250% of the total crop exposure. The LBLIC and LBIC Boards approve the reinsurance renewal process on an annual basis. The major portion of the reinsurance programme is in place with foreign reinsurers which have a credit rating of no less than A+ for Life Insurance and AA- for short-term insurance.

The Company has taken a risk based approach to setting investment strategy. The Company investable assets will be notionally tiered into three buckets representing different levels of market risk. The notional allocation to these buckets will be reviewed at least annually. Each bucket will make use of a strategic asset allocation appropriate for the risk profile it represents. Bucket Matching assets Definition Short Cash & Bonds Current liabilities minus cash needed for operations as defined in the Cash Management Policy Statement. Medium Cash & Bonds Additional capital needed to augment the short-term bucket should the business meets short-term objectives. Long Exposure to growth assets such as equities Balance of assets to be invested long-term as targeting a long-term real return unless there are the business was not likely to draw on these liabilities requiring a specific matching assets. assets. The following notional asset allocations have been chosen to represent each bucket. The allocations recognise that the Company is in start-up phase and do not necessarily represent the asset allocations once it is in full operation. Given that the bulk of investments are held for 6 to 9 months, with a maximum of 12 months, and the lack of appetite for any losses the full portfolio should be considered short term until the business builds up more surplus capital. As such all assets are considered to fall into the short-term bucket.

To manage the risk of deviation from the benchmark asset allocation, a tactical asset allocation range will be set for each asset class to allow some deviation from the strategic asset allocation. This will also allow managers to add value by making asset allocation decisions. Asset managers will be allowed to deviate outside the tactical limits. In such an event the reasons for this will be communicated to the Investment Consultant and Investment Committee.

The fund benchmark is a long term return objective of CPI + 1.0% net of fees. Fund performance The investment was made during June 2017. For the 9 months from July 2017 to the end of March 2018 the fund returned 6.20% (8.35% annualised). The fund has outperformed against the target of CPI + 1.0% which was 5.0% over the 12 month period. LBLIC The Investment Policy was updated and approved on 21 February 2018. In deriving the investment objective, the Company notionally allocated its assets into three buckets representing different levels of risk (Short-term, medium- term and long-term) as follows: Bucket Matching assets Definition Short Cash & Bonds Policyholder & current liabilities plus CAR minus cash needed for operations as defined in the Cash Management Policy Statement. Medium Cash & Bonds Additional capital needed to augment the short-term bucket should the business meets its short-term objectives. Long Exposure to growth assets such as equities Balance of assets to be invested long-term as the targeting a long-term real return unless there business was not likely to draw on these assets. are liabilities requiring a specific matching assets. The above allocations were consolidated to produce a target real return for the Company assets. The Company will firstly aim to match its assets and liabilities and with the excess assets target an appropriate real return. With this in mind, the Company has selected the following investment objective: A real return, after investment fees and gross of tax of 4.0% per annum measured over rolling 3 year periods. For the purpose of calculating the real return in the primary objective, inflation will be taken as the published Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) rate.

Capital management The primary source of capital used by the Group is shareholder’s equity funds. The amount of capital required is directly linked to risks arising from insurance business underwritten, as well as the Group’s credit and operational risk. Accordingly risk management is an important component of effective capital management. Capital management objectives and approach The Group has established the following capital management objectives and approach to managing the risks that affect its capital position: - To allocate capital efficiently and support the development of business by ensuring that returns on capital employed meet the requirements of its capital providers and of its shareholder; - To align the profile of assets and liabilities taking account of risks inherent in the business; - To maintain financial strength to support new business growth and to satisfy the requirements of the policyholders and stakeholder; - To maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business objectives; and - To support the credit rating of the Bank. The Group’s capital management policy for its insurance and non-insurance business is to hold sufficient capital to cover statutory requirements. The following main strategies were applied to achieve capital management objectives: 143 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 - Effective management of credit risk; - Effective management of underwriting risk, - Effective management of operational risk - a sound internal control framework reduces operational risk, which in turn has a positive effect in the calculation of required capital; and - Routine forecasts of capital requirements, assessment against both available capital as well as the expected internal rate of return - including risk and sensitivity analyses. The purpose of the Group’s capital management is to ensure an efficient use of capital in relation to risk appetite and business development. The Group does not have to comply with any regulatory capital requirements. Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) - the Land Bank The Bank has adopted a Basel-like Total Capital Adequacy Ratio (TCAR) with Board approved deviations from the Regulations to determine the amount of capital needed to ensure solvency and liquidity. The TCAR calculation is underpinned by the Standardised Approach principles. The Bank targets a minimum total capital adequacy ratio of 15%. The Basel Accord requires that banks meet three minimum capital adequacy ratios, in order to ensure that banks have an acceptable mix between high quality, expensive capital and lower quality, less expensive capital, these are: - Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) minimum = CET1 / total Risk Weighted Assets (RWA); - Tier 1 minimum = (CET1 + Additional Tier 1 (AT1)) / total RWA; and - Total minimum = (CET1 + AT1 + Tier 2) / total RWA. The only deviation from the Banking Regulations with regards to total CAR is: - Land Bank only has Government as shareholder and is not allowed to issue shares in the market to raise capital. Therefore should the government guarantee be excluded from capital the only other resource of capital would be retained earnings. The Land Bank’s funding covenants all include the unutilised portion of government guarantees (those of capital/ sustainability nature) as a source of capital supply. Risk-weightings are risk sensitive, in other words, riskier assets receive higher weightings and the Basel Capital Accord allows for basic and advanced approaches to determine RWA dependent on the sophistication of a bank. The Land Bank (Bank) capital adequacy was estimated based on the following approaches: - Credit risk: The Standardised Approach; - Operational risk: The Basic Indicator Approach; - Equity risk in the banking book: The Simple Risk-weight Approach; - Market risk: Standardised approach; and - Credit and operational risk have been identified as the major risk types affecting the Land Bank. It is the intention of the Land Bank to move towards more sophisticated approaches, such as the Foundation Internal Ratings Based (F-IRB) approach for credit risk measurement. In this regard has the Bank already commenced with the development of Internal Ratings Based models. The Land Bank is an SOE and therefore does not have the ability to issue share capital. For this reason the bank includes Government Guarantees which are not ring-fenced for funding purposes as Tier 1 Capital. To further strengthen capital management, the Bank adopted the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).

The following assumptions and methods were used to estimate the fair values: Those held at fair value are fair valued with reference prices quoted in the market that are readily available. Included in this classification are equities, debt instruments and cash. Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Swaps, if applicable, are valued using inputs obtained from independent sources. The inputs are loaded into the Aford model, a derivative valuation tool that is customised to the South African environment and developed by an independent third party. The fair value of a swap is equal to the present value of all future cash flows using the daily market swap curve. The model uses fixed and floating future cash flows. The fixed cash flows are known and are easily calculated. The floating cash flows are unknown and are calculated using the cubic splines interpolation method. Changes in fair value are attributable to interest rate fluctuations. There have been no changes in fair value that are attributable to the change in credit risk as there have been no upward or downward movements in the credit risk as per the Fitch rating. 45.2 Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are categorised in its entirety into the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety: Level 1: fair value measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities; Level 2: fair value measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: fair value measured using inputs for the financial asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. During the year, the Group had no significant transfers between instruments in Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. 147 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 31 March 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total R’000 R’000 R’000 R’000 Financial assets Bank Repurchase agreements 30 257 -

Event after the balance sheet date The following management changes occured post year end: • Mr. Bennie van Rooy who was Acting CEO resigned from the Bank with effect 30 June 2019 • Ms. Kone Gugushe was appointed as Acting CEO with effect 14 May 2019 • Mr. Yatheen Ramrup was appointed as Acting CFO as at 14 May 2019 • Ms. G Mtetwa has resigned from the Board with effect 31 August 2019 The Bank has successfully renegotiated the CTI covenant level from 65% to 70% with all bilateral funders, save for two whom were not amenable to the revised level of 70 These two funders hold bilateral Step Rate Notes as follows: - Funder 1. R1 .04 billion for which the facilities expire in totality 1n November 2019; and - Funder 2: R1 .56 billion for which one facility of ca R0.56 billion expires in November 2019, while the other expires in May 2022. The Bank is currently engaging with these funders on the way forward given that they were not amenable to revised covenant levels. As reported, at 31 March 2019, as a result of the successful resolution of Profert and the "base effect" thereof, the Bank had breached the "Open Credit Exposure Ratio" with one of its multilateral funders and the Bank had notified the funder of the breach in April 2019. The Bank had subsequently entered into discussions with the funder to rectify the position. As it's unlikely that the Bank will be able to meet this ratio target in the medium term, the Bank has proposed that this ratio be replaced with the Bank's standard NPL ratio. The multilateral funder has confirmed that they will replace the Open Credit Exposure covenant with the Bank's standard NPL covenant. 155 LAND BANK GROUP | ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FY2019 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 49.
