The fair value of the net assets approximated the assets acquired on acquisition date.
Had the acquisition of the subsidiaries taken place at the beginning of the financial year, it would have contributed to revenue and net profit after tax as follows:
Glocell Distribution Proprietary Limited (Glocell) was purchased with the objective of affording the Group access to new channels for the supply and distribution of airtime, mobile devices and contracts. Management has applied its judgement in concluding that the Prepaid Company Proprietary Limited (TPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Label Telecoms Limited, has control of Glocell due to the fact that TPC controls all distributions made by Glocell to its shareholders, the application of all free cash, the incurral of any debt by Glocell other than in the ordinary course of its business, the sale of any of Glocell's assets and any loans granted by Glocell. In most business acquisitions, there is a part of the cost that is not capable of being attributed in accounting terms to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and is therefore recognised as goodwill. In the case of the acquisition of Glocell, this goodwill is underpinned by a number of elements, which individually cannot be quantified. Most significant among these is the opportunity that the distribution network affords the Group. AV Technology Limited (AV Technology) was purchased with the objective of affording the Group the ability to advance airtime, data and mobile money services to mobile network subscribers in Africa. In most business acquisitions, there is a part of the cost that is not capable of being attributed in accounting terms to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and is therefore recognised as goodwill. In the case of the acquisition of AV Technology, this goodwill is underpinned by a number of elements, which individually cannot be quantified. Most significant among these is the opportunity that the utilisation of Prepaid Airtime Advance System, in Africa, affords the Group. WiConnect Proprietary Limited (WiConnect) was purchased with the objective of affording the Group access to new channels for the supply and distribution of airtime, mobile devices and contracts. In most business acquisitions, there is a part of the cost that is not capable of being attributed in accounting terms to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and is therefore recognised as goodwill. In the case of the acquisition of WiConnect, this goodwill is underpinned by a number of elements, which individually cannot be quantified. Most significant among these is the opportunity that the distribution network affords the Group. The non-controlling interests recognised as part of these acquisitions have been measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date. |
