[3] | The Company is currently analyzing the tax impact of the sale of Net1 Korea on its reported results and has made a preliminary estimate of its tax exposure as $15.0 million, which amount represents approximately 21% of its expected taxable gain related to the disposal. The Company also agreed that the purchaser withhold capital gains taxes of $19.9 million (approximately KRW 23.8 billion) and non-refundable securities transaction taxes of $1.2 million (approximately KRW 1.4 billion), for a total withholding of $21.1 million, from the purchase price and pay such amounts, on behalf of Net1 BV, to the South Korean tax authorities. Net1 BV has commenced the process to approach the South Korean tax authorities in order to claim a refund, in full, of the capital gains taxes withheld. The Company has included the expected amount to be refunded in the caption Accounts receivable, net and other receivables in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, refer also to Note 3. | |
[4] | Transaction costs include expenses incurred by the Company of $7.5 million directly related to the disposal of Net1 Korea and paid in cash and a non-refundable securities transfer tax of approximately $1.2 million which was also withheld from the purchase price and paid to the South Korean tax authorities directly by the purchaser. | |
[5] | Net1 SA recorded a valuation allowance related to capital losses previously generated but not utilized. A portion of these unutilized capital losses was utilized as a result of the disposal of FIHRST and, therefore, the equivalent portion of the valuation allowance created was released. | |
[6] | The fair value of the retained interest in 38% of DNI of $74.2 million ($14.9 million plus $59.3 million has been calculated using the implied fair value of DNI pursuant to the RMB Disposal and has been calculated as ZAR 215.0 million divided by 7. 605235% multiplied by 38%, translated to dollars at the March 31, 2019, rate of exchange. The fair value of the retained interest in DNI was included in equity-accounted investments on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019. | |
[7] | Other payables include a short-term loan of ZAR 60.5 million ($4.2 million, translated at exchange rates applicable as of March 31, 2019) due to the Company and included in accounts receivable, net on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019. The loan was repaid in full in July 2019. Interest on the loan was charged at the South African prime rate. | |
[8] | Amounts presented are net of a valuation allowance provided. Overall, the disposal of DNI resulted in a capital loss for tax purposes of approximately $1.5 million and the Company provided a valuation allowance of $1.5 million against this capital loss because it does not have any capital gains to offset against this amount. On an individual basis, the transaction to dispose of 17% of DNI resulted in a capital gain of $0.5 million and the re-measurement of the retained 38% interest resulted in a capital loss of $2.0 million ($5.3 million (8% transaction) less $3.3 million (30% transaction)). The valuation allowance of $1.5 million was provided against the $5.3 million, for a net amount presented in the table above of $3.8 million ($5.3 million less $1.5 million). | |
