Except as otherwise disclosed, these policies are consistent in all material respects with those applied in previous years.

Financial reporting terms

These definitions of financial reporting terms are provided to ensure clarity of meaning as certain terms may not always have the same meaning or interpretation in all countries.

Group structures

Associate	An entity, other than a subsidiary, joint venture or joint operation, in which the group has significant influence, but no control or joint control, over financial and operating policies.

The primary business units are: South African energy cluster · Sasol Mining · Sasol Gas · Sasol Synfuels · Sasol Oil · Other International energy cluster · Sasol Synfuels International · Sasol Petroleum International Chemical cluster · Sasol Polymers · Sasol Solvents · Sasol Olefins & Surfactants · Other chemical businesses including: · Sasol Wax · Sasol Nitro · Merisol · Sasol Infrachem Classified as ‘other businesses’ in the segment report: · Sasol Technology · Sasol Financing · Corporate head office functions · Alternative energy businesses In the notes to the financial statements, where items classified as “other businesses” or “other chemical businesses” are material, the amounts attributable to these businesses have been specified.
Company	A legal business entity registered in terms of the applicable legislation of that country.
Entity	Sasol Limited, a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation, associate or structured entity.

Foreign operation	An entity whose activities are based or conducted in a country or currency other than those of the reporting entity (Sasol Limited).
Group	The group comprises Sasol Limited, its subsidiaries and its interests in consolidated structured entities.
Joint arrangement	An economic activity over which the group exercises joint control established under a contractual arrangement.
Joint control	The contractually agreed sharing of control which exists when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Joint venture	A joint arrangement in which the parties have joint control with rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Joint operation	A joint arrangement in which parties have joint control with rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities pertaining to the arrangement.
Structured entity	An entity designed so that voting rights are not the dominant factor in determining control of the entity. The key decisions affecting the returns of the entity are directed by means of contractual arrangements.
Subsidiary	Any entity over which the group exercises control.

General accounting terms

Acquisition date	The date on which control in subsidiaries, consolidated structured entities, joint control in joint arrangements and significant influence in associates commences.
Assets under construction	A non-current asset which includes expenditure capitalised for work in progress in respect of activities to develop, expand or enhance items of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and exploration assets.
Business	An integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members or participants.
Cash generating unit	The smallest identifiable group of assets which can generate cash inflows independently from other assets or groups of assets.
Commissioning date	The date that an item of property, plant and equipment, whether acquired or constructed, is brought into use.
Consolidated group financial statements	The financial results of the group which comprise the financial results of Sasol Limited, its subsidiaries, consolidated structured entities, as well as its share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of joint operations and interests in the financial results of joint ventures and associates.
Control	Control is obtained when an investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. When assessing the ability to control an entity, the existence of substantive potential voting rights are taken into account.
Corporate assets	Assets, other than goodwill, that contribute to the future cash flows of both the cash generating unit under review as well as other cash generating units.
Discontinued operation	A component that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of business that, pursuant to a single plan, has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale.
Discount rate	The rate used in determining discounted cash flows. When estimating provisions, this is the pre-tax interest rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money. To the extent that, in determining the cash flows, the risks specific to the asset or liability are taken into account in determining those cash flows, they are not included in determining the discount rate.
Disposal date	The date on which control in subsidiaries, consolidated structured entities, joint control in joint arrangements and significant influence in associates ceases.
Exploration assets	Capitalised expenditure relating to the exploration for and evaluation of mineral

2

	resources (coal, oil and gas).
Fair value	The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Financial results	Comprise the financial position (assets, liabilities and equity), results of operations (income and expenses) and cash flows of an entity and of the group.
Functional currency	The currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates.
Long-term	A period longer than 12 months from the reporting date.
Market participants	Buyers and sellers in a principal market (or most advantageous market) who are independent, knowledgeable, willing and able to exchange an asset or settle a liability in an arm’s length transaction.
Mineral assets	Capitalised expenditure relating to producing coal, oil and gas properties, including development costs and previously capitalised exploration assets.
Other comprehensive income	Comprises items of income and expense (including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognised in the income statement and includes the effect of translation of foreign operations, cash flow hedges, re-measurements of defined benefit plans and available-for-sale financial assets, including the tax effect thereof.
Power	Existing rights that provide the entity with the current ability to direct relevant activities.
Presentation currency	The currency in which financial results of an entity are presented.
Qualifying asset	An asset that necessarily takes a substantial period (normally in excess of 12 months) of time to get ready for its intended use.
Recoverable amount	The amount that reflects the greater of the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use that can be attributed to an asset as a result of its ongoing use by the entity. Value in use is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to the asset and are discounted using a discount rate. This discount rate is derived from the group’s weighted average cost of capital and is adjusted where applicable to take into account any specific risks relating to the country where the asset or cash-generating unit is located. The rate applied in each country is reassessed each year. The recoverable amount may be adjusted to take into account recent market transactions for a similar asset.
Related party	Parties are considered to be related if one party directly or indirectly has the ability to control or jointly control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party or is a member of the key management of the reporting entity (Sasol Limited).
Relevant activities	Activities of an investee that significantly affect its returns.

Significant influence	The ability, directly or indirectly, to participate in, but not exercise control or joint control over, the financial and operating policy decisions of an entity so as to obtain economic benefit from its activities.
Turnover	Comprises revenue generated by operating activities and includes sales of products, services rendered, licence fees and royalties, net of indirect taxes, rebates and trade discounts.
Remeasurement items	Comprises items of income and expense recognised in the income statement that are less closely aligned to the operating or trading activities of the reporting entity and includes, inter alia, the impairment of non-current assets, profit or loss on disposal of non-current assets including businesses and investments in equity accounted joint ventures, and scrapping of assets.

Transaction date	The date an entity commits itself to purchase or sell a financial instrument.

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations of those standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and the South African Companies Act, 2008. The consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors on 5 September 2014 and will be presented for approval at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 21 November 2014.

Accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting standards

During the current financial year, the following accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting standards became effective and were adopted by the group:

Standard	Nature of the change	Date published	Impact on financial position orperformance
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended)	New standard	12 May 2011	In accordance with the transition provisions, these standards have been applied retrospectively, resulting in a restatement of previously reported financial results. Full details of the effects of the restatement have been disclosed in Note 1.
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (as amended)	New standard	12 May 2011
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (as amended)	New standard	12 May 2011

The following accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting standards which are relevant to Sasol but not yet effective, have not been adopted in the current year:

Standard	Date published	Effective date *	Anticipated impact on Sasol
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (Amended)	24 July 2014	1 January 2018	IFRS 9 introduced new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and liabilities by introducing a fair value through other comprehensive income category for certain debt instruments. It also contains a new impairment model which will result in earlier recognition of losses and new hedging guidance which will require the implementation of new models, systems and processes. The effective date for adoption of this standard is for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018. We do not expect the adoption of IFRS 9 to have significant impact on total assets, total liabilities, equity, earnings and earnings per share.
IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers	28 May 2014	1 January 2017	IFRS 15 contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognised. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The effective date for adoption of this standard is for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017. We are currently reviewing the effects of the standard and will consider adoption when appropriate.

*The amendments apply for annual periods commencing on or after the date noted and early adoption is permitted, unless otherwise indicated.

Principal accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial results

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the historic cost convention except that, as set out in the accounting policies below, certain items, including derivative instruments, liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment schemes, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets, are stated at fair value.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.

Except as otherwise disclosed, these accounting policies are consistent with those applied in previous years.

These accounting policies are consistently applied throughout the group.

Basis of consolidation of financial results

The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial results of the group as well as its share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of joint operations and interests in the financial results of joint ventures and associates. All financial results are consolidated with similar items on a line by line basis except for investments in associates and joint ventures, which are included in the group’s results as set out below.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. The effects of potential voting rights that are substantive are also considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. The financial results of subsidiaries are consolidated into the group’s results from acquisition date until disposal date.

Structured entities controlled by the group The financial results of structured entities are consolidated into the group’s results from the date that the group controls the structured entity until the date that control ceases. Control exists where the group, based on an evaluation of the substance of the relationship with the structured entity, has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the group’s involvement with the structured entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the structured entity.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses between entities are eliminated on consolidation. To the extent that a loss on such a transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss of a non-current asset, that loss is charged to the income statement.

Interests in equity accounted investees The group’s interests in equity accounted investees comprise of interests in associates and joint ventures.

The financial results of associates and joint ventures are included in the group’s results according to the equity method from acquisition date until the disposal date.

Under the equity method, investments in associates and joint ventures are recognised initially at cost. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the group’s share of profits or losses of associates and joint ventures is charged to the income statement as equity accounted earnings and its share of movements in equity reserves is recognised as other comprehensive income or equity as appropriate. All cumulative post-acquisition movements in the equity of associates and joint ventures are adjusted against the cost of the investment. When the group’s share of losses in associates and joint ventures equals or exceeds its interest in those associates and joint ventures, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to zero, and the group does not recognise further losses, unless the group has incurred a legal or constructive obligation or made payments on behalf of those associates and joint ventures.

7

In respect of associates and joint ventures, where appropriate, unrealised gains and losses are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. To the extent that a loss on a transaction provides evidence of an impairment loss on the equity accounted investment, that loss is charged to the income statement.

Goodwill relating to associates and joint ventures forms part of the carrying amount of those associates and joint ventures.

The total carrying amount of each associate and joint venture is evaluated annually, as a single asset, for impairment or when objective evidence is identified which indicates that the investment in associate or joint venture is impaired. This includes the identification of conditions which indicate that a decline in fair value below the carrying amount is other than temporary. If impaired, the carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures are written down to its estimated recoverable amount in accordance with the accounting policy on impairment and is charged to the income statement. A previously recognised impairment loss will be reversed, insofar as estimates change as a result of an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.

Associates and joint ventures whose financial year ends are within three months of 30 June are included in the consolidated financial statements using their most recently audited financial results. Adjustments are made to the associates’ and joint ventures financial results for material transactions and events in the intervening period.

Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial results of each entity are measured using the functional currency of that entity. The consolidated financial results are presented in rand, which is Sasol Limited’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest million.

Foreign currency transactions Income and expenditure transactions are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the rate of exchange ruling at the transaction date. To the extent that transactions occur regularly throughout the year, they are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year since this approximates the actual exchange rates at which those transactions occurred.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement, except when they relate to cash flow hedging activities in which case these gains and losses for the effective portion are recognised as other comprehensive income and are included in the cash flow hedge accounting reserve.

Foreign operations The financial results of all entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency of their parent entity are translated into the presentation currency.

8

Income and expenditure transactions of foreign operations are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year except for significant individual transactions which are translated at the exchange rate ruling at that date. All assets and liabilities, including fair value adjustments and goodwill arising on acquisition, are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Differences arising on translation are recognised as other comprehensive income and are included in the foreign currency translation reserve.

When the settlement of a monetary item, arising from a receivable or from a payable to a foreign operation, is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are included in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, differences arising from the translation of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised as other comprehensive income and are included in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On loss of control, joint control or significant influence of the operation, the cumulative gains and losses previously recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve through the statement of comprehensive income are included in determining the profit or loss on disposal of that operation recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on the disposal. When the group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant portion of the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant portion of the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified to the income statement.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Land is not depreciated.

The cost of self-constructed assets includes expenditure on materials, direct labour and an allocated proportion of project overheads. Cost also includes the estimated costs of dismantling and removing the assets and site rehabilitation costs to the extent that they relate to the construction of the asset as well as gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges attributable to that asset. When regular major inspections are a condition of continuing to operate an item of property, plant and equipment, and plant shutdown costs will be incurred, an estimate of these shutdown costs are included in the carrying value of the asset at initial recognition. Costs capitalised for work in progress in respect of activities to develop, expand or enhance items of property, plant and equipment are classified as part of assets under construction.

Finance expenses in respect of specific and general borrowings are capitalised against qualifying assets as part of assets under construction.

When plant and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, these components are accounted for as separate items. Expenditure incurred to replace or modify a significant component of plant is capitalised and any remaining carrying amount of the component replaced is written off in the income statement. All other maintenance expenditure is charged to the income statement.

9

Property, plant and equipment, other than mineral assets, is depreciated to its estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. Mineral assets are depreciated in accordance with the policy set out below on exploration, evaluation and development. The depreciation methods, estimated remaining useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least annually. The estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment is based on historic performance as well as expectations about future use and therefore requires a significant degree of judgement to be applied by management. The following depreciation rates, based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, were applied:

Buildings and improvements	%	2 – 5
Retail convenience centres	%	3 – 5
Plant	%	4 – 5
Equipment	%	10 – 33
Vehicles	%	20 – 33
Mineral assets	%	Life of related reserve base

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment will be derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and are recognised in the income statement.

Exploration, evaluation and development

Oil and gas The successful efforts method is used to account for natural oil and gas exploration, evaluation and development activities.

Property and licence acquisition costs as well as development cost, including expenditure incurred to drill and equip development wells on proved properties, are capitalised as part of assets under construction and transferred to mineral assets in property, plant and equipment when the assets begin producing.

On completion of an exploratory well or exploratory-type stratigraphic test well, the entity will be able to determine if there are oil or gas resources. The classification of resources as proved reserves depends on whether development of the property is economically feasible and recoverable in the future, under existing economic and operating conditions, and if any major capital expenditure to develop the property as a result of sufficient quantities of additional proved reserves being identified is justifiable, approved and recoverable.

The cost of exploratory wells through which potential proved reserves may be or have been discovered, and the associated exploration costs are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets in assets under construction. These costs remain capitalised pending the evaluation of results and the determination of whether there are proved reserves. At each reporting date, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment. The following conditions must be met for these exploration costs to remain capitalised:

·Sufficient progress is being made in assessing the oil and gas resources, including assessing the economic and operating viability with regards to developing the property.

·It has been determined that sufficient oil and gas resources or reserves exist which are economically viable based on a range of technical and commercial considerations to justify the capital expenditure required for the completion of the well as a producing well, either individually or in conjunction with other wells.

10

Progress in this regard is reassessed at each reporting date and is subject to technical, commercial and management review to ensure sufficient justification for the continued capitalisation of such qualifying exploration and evaluation expenditure as an exploration and evaluation asset as part of assets under construction. If both of the above conditions are not met or if information is obtained that raises substantial doubt about the economic or operating viability, the costs are charged to the income statement.

Exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells can remain suspended on the statement of financial position for several years while additional activity including studies, appraisal, drilling and/or seismic work on the potential oil and gas field is performed or while the optimum development plans and timing are established in the absence of impairment indicators.

Depreciation of mineral assets on producing oil and gas properties is based on the units-of-production method calculated using estimated proved developed reserves. Depreciation of property acquisition costs, capitalised as part of mineral assets in property, plant and equipment, is based on the units-of-production method calculated using estimated proved reserves.

Expenditures relating to dry exploratory wells are charged to the income statement when the well is identified as being dry and the costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties are charged to the income statement as incurred.

Coal mining Coal mining exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged to the income statement until completion of a final feasibility study supporting proved and probable coal reserves. Expenditure incurred subsequent to proved and probable coal reserves being identified is capitalised as exploration assets in assets under construction.

Expenditure on producing mines or development properties is capitalised when excavation or drilling is incurred to extend reserves or further delineate existing proved and probable coal reserves. All development expenditure incurred after the commencement of production is capitalised to the extent that it gives rise to probable future economic benefits.

Life-of-mine coal assets are depreciated using the units-of-production method. A unit is considered to be produced once it has been removed from underground and taken to the surface, passed the bunker and has been transported by conveyor over the scale of the shaft head. The calculation is based on proved and probable reserves assigned to that specific mine (accessible reserves) or complex which benefits from the utilisation of those assets. Inaccessible reserves are excluded from the calculation. Other coal mining assets are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

11

Business combinations

The acquisition method is used when a business is acquired. A business may comprise an entity, group of entities or an unincorporated operation including its operating assets and associated liabilities.

On acquisition date, fair values are attributed to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. A non-controlling interest at acquisition date is measured at fair value or at its proportionate interest in the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the entity acquired on a transaction by transaction basis, including that component of the non-controlling interest which has a present ownership interest.

Fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities included in the business combination are determined by reference to market values of those or similar items, where available, or by discounting expected future cash flows using the discount rate to present values.

When an acquisition is achieved in stages (step acquisition), the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in the income statement.

When there is a change in the interest in a subsidiary after control is obtained, that does not result in a loss in control, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted is recognised directly in the statement of changes in equity.

The consideration transferred is the fair value of the group’s contribution to the business combination in the form of assets transferred, shares issued, liabilities assumed or contingent consideration at the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the income statement. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are charged to the income statement.

On acquisition date, goodwill is recognised when the consideration transferred, the fair value of any previously held interests and the recognised amount of non-controlling interests exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the entity acquired. Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of these transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling interest are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Goodwill is tested at each reporting date for impairment.

To the extent that the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the entity acquired exceeds the consideration transferred and the recognised amount of non-controlling interests, the excess, or bargain purchase gain, is recognised in the income statement on acquisition date.

The profit or loss realised on disposal of an entity is calculated after taking into account the carrying amount of any related goodwill.

12

Business combinations under common control

Common control transactions are business combinations between entities which are ultimately controlled by Sasol Limited.

The group applies the predecessor accounting method when accounting for common control transactions, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are not adjusted to fair value but are rather transferred at their carrying amounts at the date of the transaction. Any difference between the consideration paid/transferred and the net asset value ‘acquired’ is recognised in retained earnings. No new goodwill will be recognised as a result of the common control transaction.

The statement of financial position and income statement will be adjusted from the date of the transaction.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets, other than goodwill (refer policy above on business combinations), are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

These intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity from the intangible assets and the costs of the intangible assets can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortisation methods and estimated remaining useful lives are reviewed at least annually. The estimation of the useful lives of other intangible assets is based on historic performance as well as expectations about future use and therefore requires a significant degree of judgement to be applied by management. The following amortisation rates, based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets were applied:

Software	%	17 – 33
Patents and trademarks	%	20
Other intangible assets	%	6 - 33

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but are tested at each reporting date for impairment. The assessment that the estimated useful lives of these assets are indefinite is reviewed at least annually.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Research and development Research expenditure relating to gaining new technical knowledge and understanding is charged to the income statement when incurred.

Development expenditure relating to the production of new or substantially improved products or processes is capitalised if the costs can be measured reliably, the products or processes are technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. All remaining development expenditure is charged to the income statement.

13

Cost includes expenditure on materials, direct labour and an allocated proportion of project overheads.

Software Purchased software and the direct costs associated with the customisation and installation thereof are capitalised.

Expenditure on internally-developed software is capitalised if it meets the criteria for capitalising development expenditure.

Other software development expenditure is charged to the income statement when incurred.

Patents and trademarks Expenditure on purchased patents and trademarks is capitalised. Expenditure incurred to extend the term of the patents or trademarks is capitalised. All other expenditure is charged to the income statement when incurred.

Emission rights Emission rights (allowances) received from a government or a government agency and expenditure incurred on purchasing allowances are capitalised as indefinite life intangible assets at the quoted market price on acquisition date and are subject to an annual impairment test.

Non-current asset or disposal group held for sale

A non-current asset or disposal group (a business grouping of assets and their related liabilities) is designated as held for sale when its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The classification as held for sale of a non-current asset or disposal group occurs when it is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. A sale is considered highly probable if management is committed to a plan to sell the non-current asset or disposal group, an active divestiture programme has been initiated, the non-current asset or disposal group is marketed at a price reasonable to its fair value and the disposal will be completed within one year from classification.

Where a disposal group held for sale will result in the loss of control or joint control of a subsidiary or joint operation, respectively, all the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary or joint operation are classified as held for sale, regardless of whether a non-controlling interest in the former subsidiary or an ongoing interest in the joint operation is to be retained after the sale.

Where a disposal group held for sale will result in the loss of joint control of a joint venture or significant influence of an associate, the full investment is classified as held for sale. Equity accounting ceases from the date the joint venture or associate is classified as held for sale.

Upon classification of a non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale it is reviewed for impairment. The impairment loss charged to the income statement is the excess of the carrying amount of the non-current asset or disposal group over its expected fair value less costs to sell.

14

No depreciation or amortisation is provided on non-current assets from the date they are classified as held for sale. In addition, equity accounting of equity-accounted investees ceases once classified as held for sale or distribution.

If a non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale, but the criteria for classification as held for sale are no longer met, the classification of such non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale is ceased.

On ceasing such classification, the non-current assets are reflected at the lower of:

·the carrying amount before classification as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation or amortisation that would have been recognised had the assets not been classified as held for sale; or

·the recoverable amount at the date the classification as held for sale ceases. The recoverable amount is the amount at which the asset would have been recognised after the allocation of any impairment loss arising on the cash generating unit as determined in accordance with the group’s policy on impairment of non-financial assets.

Any adjustments required to be made on reclassification are recognised in the income statement on reclassification, and included in income from continuing operations.

Where the disposal group was also classified as a discontinued operation, the subsequent classification as held for use also requires that the discontinued operation be included in continuing operations. Comparative information relating to the classification as a discontinued operation is restated accordingly.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment test is performed on all goodwill, intangible assets not yet in use and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives at each reporting date.

The impairment loss charged to the income statement is the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount.

Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, where an individual asset cannot generate cash inflows independently, the recoverable amount is determined for the larger cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the corporate asset belongs. For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored internally.

15

Impairment losses recognised in respect of a cash-generating unit are first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the unit and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis relative to their carrying amounts.

With the exception of goodwill, a previously recognised impairment loss will be reversed insofar as estimates change as a result of an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

An impairment loss in respect of an equity accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

Exploration assets are tested for impairment when development of the property commences or whenever facts and circumstances indicate impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the exploration assets’ carrying amount exceeds their recoverable amount. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the relevant exploration assets are included in the existing cash-generating units of producing properties that are located in the same geographic region.

Financial assets

The group classifies its financial assets into the following categories:

·held-to-maturity financial assets;

·loans and receivables;

·available-for-sale financial assets;

·financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; and

·derivative instruments (set out below).

The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the financial asset is acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at the time of the initial recognition and re-evaluates such designation at least at each reporting date, except for those financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, where this designation is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

Financial assets held for trading are classified at fair value through profit or loss. The group manages these investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated initially at transaction date at fair value and subsequent changes therein, which takes into account any dividend or interest income, are charged to the income statement.

Financial assets are recognised on transaction date when the group becomes a party to the contract and thus obtains rights to receive economic benefits and are derecognised when these rights expire or are transferred.

16

Financial assets, with the exception of those held at fair value through profit or loss, are stated initially on transaction date at fair value including transaction costs. Held-to-maturity financial assets and loans and receivables are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently stated at fair value at the reporting date.

Unrealised gains and losses arising from revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised as other comprehensive income and included in the investment fair value reserve. On disposal or impairment of available-for-sale financial assets, cumulative unrealised gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are included respectively in determining the profit or loss on disposal of, or impairment charge relating to, that financial asset, which is recognised in the income statement.

The fair values of financial assets are based on quoted market prices or amounts derived using a discounted cash flow model. Fair values for unlisted equity securities are estimated using valuation techniques reflecting the specific economic circumstances of the investee which would affect the market value of those securities. Equity investments for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are recognised at cost less impairment losses.

Premiums or discounts arising from the difference between the fair value of a financial asset and the amount receivable at maturity date are charged to the income statement based on the effective interest method.

An assessment is performed at each reporting date to determine whether objective evidence exists that a financial asset is impaired. Objective evidence that financial instruments are impaired includes indications of a debtor or group of debtors experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency of payments, the probability of a debtor entering bankruptcy, or other observable data indicating a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows, such as economic conditions that correlate with defaults. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are charged to the income statement and are included in the allowance against loans and receivables. When a subsequent event causes the impairment loss to decrease, the impairment loss is reversed in the income statement. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery. In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the asset below its cost is considered an indicator of impairment. If any such evidence exists, the cumulative loss is removed as other comprehensive income from the investment fair value reserve and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses charged to the income statement on available-for-sale financial assets are not reversed.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented when the group has a current legal enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

17

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised on the transaction date when the group becomes a party to the contract and thus has a contractual obligation and are derecognised when these contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

Financial liabilities are stated initially on the transaction date at fair value including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented when the group has a current legal enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

All derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently stated at fair value at the reporting date. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in the income statement when incurred. Resulting gains or losses on derivative instruments, excluding designated and effective hedging instruments, are recognised in the income statement.

The group is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The group uses derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to these risks. To the extent that a derivative instrument has a maturity period of longer than one year, the fair value of these instruments will be reflected as a non-current asset or liability.

The group’s criteria for a derivative instrument to be designated as a hedging instrument at the inception of the transaction require that:

·the hedge transaction is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk;

·the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured throughout the duration of the hedge;

·there is adequate documentation of the hedging relationship at the inception of the hedge; and

·for cash flow hedges, the forecast transaction that is the subject of the hedge must be highly probable.

Where a derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge of an asset, liability or highly probable forecast transaction that could affect the income statement, the effective part of any gain or loss arising on the derivative instrument is recognised as other comprehensive income and is classified as a cash flow hedge accounting reserve until the underlying transaction occurs. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognised in the income statement. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

If the forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the associated gain or loss is transferred from the cash flow hedge accounting reserve, as other comprehensive income, to the underlying asset or liability on the transaction date. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the cumulative balance in other comprehensive income is recognised immediately in the income statement as reclassification adjustments.

18

Other cash flow hedge gains or losses are recognised in the income statement at the same time as the hedged transaction occurs.

When derivative instruments, including forward exchange contracts, are entered into as fair value hedges, no hedge accounting is applied. All gains and losses on fair value hedges are recognised in the income statement.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring, manufacturing and transporting the inventory to its present location. Manufacturing costs include an allocated portion of production overheads which are directly attributable to the cost of manufacturing such inventory. The allocation is determined based on the greater of normal production capacity and actual production. The costs attributable to any inefficiencies in the production process are charged to the income statement as incurred.

Cost is determined as follows:

Crude oil and other raw materials	First-in-first-out valuation method (FIFO)
Process, maintenance and other materials	Weighted average purchase price
Work-in-progress	Manufacturing costs incurred
Manufactured products including consignment inventory	Manufacturing costs according to FIFO

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expenses.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised when it is probable that an entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivable. The amount of the impairment loss is charged to the income statement.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at carrying amount which is deemed to be fair value. Bank overdrafts are offset against cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.

Cash restricted for use

Cash which is subject to restrictions on its use is stated separately at carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Share capital

Issued share capital is stated in the statement of changes in equity at the amount of the proceeds received less directly attributable issue costs.

19

Share repurchase programme

When Sasol Limited’s shares are repurchased by a subsidiary, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from shareholders’ equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are disclosed as a deduction from total equity. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received is included in the statement of changes in equity. The resultant gain or loss on the transaction is transferred to or from retained earnings.

Preference shares

Preference shares are classified as liabilities if they are redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are charged to the income statement as a finance expense based on the effective interest method.

Debt

Debt, which constitutes a financial liability, includes short-term and long-term debt. Debt is initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and is subsequently stated at amortised cost. Debt is classified as short-term unless the borrowing entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Debt is derecognised when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Premiums or discounts arising from the difference between the fair value of debt raised and the amount repayable at maturity date are charged to the income statement as finance expenses based on the effective interest method.

Leases

Finance leases Leases where the group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised as property, plant and equipment at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease with an equivalent amount being stated as a finance lease liability as part of debt.

The capitalised amount is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and asset’s useful life depending on whether it is reasonably certain that the group will obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the leased term. Lease payments are allocated between capital repayments and finance expenses using the effective interest method.

Operating leases of assets under which all the risks and benefits of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease are charged to the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis unless another basis is more representative of the pattern of use.

20

The land and the buildings elements of a lease are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification as a finance or an operating lease.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event that will probably be settled, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

Long-term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate to their present value. The increase in discounted long-term provisions as a result of the passage of time is recognised as a finance expense in the income statement.

Environmental rehabilitation provisions Estimated long-term environmental provisions, comprising pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure, are based on the group’s environmental policy taking into account current technological, environmental and regulatory requirements. The provision for rehabilitation is recognised as and when the environmental liability arises. To the extent that the obligations relate to the construction of an asset, they are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The effect of subsequent changes to assumptions in estimating an obligation for which the provision was recognised as part of the cost of the asset is adjusted against the asset. Any subsequent changes to an obligation which did not relate to the initial construction of a related asset are charged to the income statement.  Deferred tax is recognised on the temporary differences in relation to both the asset to which the obligation relates and the rehabilitation provision.

Decommissioning costs of plant and equipment The estimated present value of future decommissioning costs, taking into account current environmental and regulatory requirements, is capitalised as part of property, plant and equipment, to the extent that they relate to the construction of the asset, and the related provisions are raised. These estimates are reviewed at least annually. The effect of subsequent changes to assumptions in estimating an obligation for which the provision was recognised as part of the cost of the asset is adjusted against the asset. Any subsequent changes to an obligation which did not relate to the initial construction of a related asset are charged to the income statement. Deferred tax is recognised on the temporary differences in relation to both the asset to which the obligation relates to and rehabilitation provision.

Ongoing rehabilitation expenditure Such expenditure is charged to the income statement.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits Remuneration of employees is charged to the income statement. Short-term employee benefits are those that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the services have been rendered. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are charged to the income statement as the related service is provided. Long-term employee benefits are those benefits that are expected to be wholly settled more than 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period, in which the services have been rendered and are discounted to their present value. An accrual is recognised for accumulated leave, incentive bonuses and other employee benefits when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past service provided by the employee, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

21

Pension benefits The group operates or contributes to defined contribution pension plans and defined benefit pension plans for its employees in certain of the countries in which it operates. These plans are generally funded through payments to trustee-administered funds as determined by annual actuarial calculations.

Defined contribution pension plans Such plans are plans under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate legal entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are charged to the income statement as an employee expense in the period in which related services are rendered by the employee.

Defined benefit pension plans The group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is actuarially calculated separately for each plan by deducting the fair value of plan assets from the gross obligation for post-retirement benefits. The gross obligation is determined by estimating the future benefit attributable to employees in return for services rendered to date.

This future benefit is discounted to determine its present value, using discount rates based on government bonds, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the group’s obligations and which are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. Independent actuaries perform this calculation annually using the projected unit credit method.

Defined contribution members employed before 2009 have an option to purchase a defined benefit pension with their member share. This option gives rise to actuarial risk, and as such, these members are accounted for as part of the defined benefit fund and are disclosed as such.

Past service costs are charged to the income statement at the earlier of the following dates:

·when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs; and

·when the group recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes to actuarial assumptions, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the defined benefit liability (asset)) and any changes in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the defined benefit liability (asset)) are remeasurements that are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Where the plan assets exceed the gross obligation, the asset recognised is limited to the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling determined using a discount rate based on government bonds.

Surpluses and deficits in the various plans are not offset.

Defined benefit post-retirement healthcare benefits The group provides post-retirement healthcare benefits to certain of its retirees. The entitlement of these benefits is usually based on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued on a systematic basis over the expected remaining period of employment, using the accounting methodology described in respect of defined benefit pension plans above. Independent actuaries perform the calculation of this obligation annually.

22

Share-based payments The group has equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation plans. The equity-settled schemes allow certain employees the option to acquire ordinary shares in Sasol Limited over a prescribed period. Such equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is charged as employee costs, with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight-line basis over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options, based on management’s estimate of the shares that will vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. These share options are not subsequently revalued.

The cash-settled schemes allow certain senior employees the right to participate in the performance of the Sasol Limited share price, in return for services rendered, through the payment of cash incentives which are based on the market price of the Sasol Limited share. These rights are recognised as a liability at fair value, at each reporting date, in the statement of financial position until the date of settlement. The fair value of these rights is determined at each reporting date and the unrecognised cost is amortised to the income statement as employee costs over the period that the employees provide services to the company.

Fair value is measured using the Black Scholes, Binomial tree and Monte-Carlo option pricing models where applicable. The expected life used in the models has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations such as volatility, dividend yield and the vesting period. The fair value takes into account the terms and conditions on which these incentives are granted and the extent to which the employees have rendered service to the reporting date.

Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognised as a liability at the earlier of the date of recognition of restructuring costs or when the group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. In the case of an offer to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits that are expected to be wholly settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

Deferred income

Incentives received are recognised on a systematic basis in the income statement over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. Incentives related to non-current assets are stated in the statement of financial position as deferred income and are charged to the income statement on a basis representative of the pattern of use of the asset to which the incentive relates.

Revenue received prior to delivery occurring or the service being rendered is stated on the statement of financial position as deferred income and is recognised in the income statement when the revenue recognition criteria, detailed below, are met.

23

Black economic empowerment (BEE) transactions

To the extent that an entity grants shares or share options in a BEE transaction and the fair value of the cash and other assets received is less than the fair value of the shares or share options granted, such difference is charged to the income statement in the period in which the transaction becomes effective. Where the BEE transaction includes service conditions the difference will be charged to the income statement over the period of these service conditions. A restriction on the transfer of the shares or share options is taken into account in determining the fair value of the share or share option.

Taxation

The income tax charge is determined based on net income before tax for the year and includes deferred tax and dividend withholding tax.

Current tax The current tax charge is the tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year applying enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and includes any adjustments to tax payable in respect of prior years.

Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided for using the liability method, on all temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes and on any tax losses.

No deferred tax is provided on temporary differences relating to:

·the initial recognition of goodwill;

·the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of an asset or liability to the extent that neither accounting nor taxable profit is affected on acquisition; and

·investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements to the extent that the temporary difference will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future and the control of the reversal of the temporary difference lies with the parent, investor, joint venturer or joint operator.

The provision for deferred tax is calculated using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the reporting date that are expected to apply when the asset is realised or liability settled. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

The provision of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the expected recovery or settlement of the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the related income taxes are levied by the same taxation authority, there is a legally enforceable right to offset and there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Dividend withholding tax Dividend withholding tax is payable at a rate of 15% on dividends distributed to shareholders .  This tax is not attributable to the company paying the dividend but is collected by the company and paid to the tax authorities on behalf of the shareholder. On receipt of a dividend, the dividend withholding tax is recognised part of the current tax charge in the income statement in the period in which the dividend is received.

24

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost.

Revenue

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of indirect taxes, rebates and trade discounts and consists primarily of the sale of products, services rendered, licence fees, royalties, dividends received and interest received.

Revenue is recognised when the following criteria are met:

·evidence of an arrangement exists;

·delivery has occurred or services have been rendered and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the purchaser;

·transaction costs can be reliably measured;

·the selling price is fixed or determinable; and

·collectability is reasonably assured.

The timing of revenue recognition is as follows. Revenue from:

·the sale of products is recognised when the group no longer retains continuing managerial involvement associated with ownership or effective control;

·services rendered is based on the stage of completion of the transaction, based on the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the total cost of the project;

·licence fees and royalties is recognised on an accrual basis;

·dividends received is recognised when the right to receive payment is established; and

·interest received is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

The group enters into exchange agreements with the same counterparties for the purchase and sale of inventory that are entered into in contemplation of one another. When the items exchanged are similar in nature, these transactions are combined and accounted for as a single exchange transaction. The exchange is recognised at the carrying amount of the inventory transferred.

Further descriptions of the recognition of revenue for the various reporting segments are included under the accounting policy on segmental reporting.

Finance expenses

Finance expenses are capitalised against qualifying assets as part of property, plant and equipment.

Such finance expenses are capitalised over the period during which the qualifying asset is being acquired or constructed and borrowings have been incurred. Capitalisation ceases when construction is interrupted for an extended period or when the qualifying asset is substantially complete. Further finance expenses are charged to the income statement.

25

Where funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of acquiring or constructing a qualifying asset, the amount of finance expenses eligible for capitalisation on that asset is the actual finance expenses incurred on the borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.

Where funds are made available from general borrowings and used for the purpose of acquiring or constructing qualifying assets, the amount of finance expenses eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on these assets. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the borrowings of the group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining qualifying assets. The amount of finance expenses capitalised will not exceed the amount of borrowing costs incurred.

Dividends payable

Dividends payable are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

Segment information

Reporting segments

The group has nine main reportable segments that comprise the structure used by the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to make key operating decisions and assess performance. The group’s reportable segments are operating segments that are differentiated by the activities that each undertakes and the products they manufacture and market (referred to as business segments). Each business utilises different technology, manufacturing and marketing strategies.

The group evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating profit after remeasurement items. The group accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were entered into under the same terms and conditions as would have been entered into in a market related transaction.

The financial information of the group’s reportable segments is reported to the CEO for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance.

The group has formed significant joint ventures to promote Sasol technology and products internationally. The group is promoting and marketing its gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology for converting remote or flared natural gas into new-generation, low-emission GTL diesel, GTL naphtha and other products. It is envisaged that Sasol Synfuels International (SSI) through the recent development of the GTL plants in Qatar and Nigeria will contribute to the growing of a global GTL business in the future.

Whilst Sasol Petroleum International (SPI), like SSI, does not meet the quantitative criteria for disclosure as a separate segment, it is expected to become a significant contributor to the group’s performance in future years as the upstream supplier of resources for the group’s GTL and coal-to-liquids (CTL) activities.

26

Consequently, the CEO has chosen to include SSI and SPI as reportable operating segments even though SSI and SPI do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds as the CEO believes that such information would be useful to the users of the financial statements.

South African energy cluster

Sasol Mining

Sasol Mining’s activities include the mining and supply of coal to other segments including Sasol Synfuels, other entities and to third parties.

Sasol Mining sells coal under both long-term and short-term contracts at a price determinable from the agreements. Turnover is recognised upon delivery of the coal to the customer, which, in accordance with the related contract terms is the point at which the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

The date of delivery related to Sasol Mining is determined in accordance with the contractual agreements entered into with customers which are briefly summarised as follows:

Delivery terms	Title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer
Free on Board (FOB)	When the coal is loaded onto the vessel at Richards Bay Coal Terminal — customer is responsible for shipping and handling costs.
Free on Barge (Amsterdam)	When the coal is loaded from Overslag Bedrijf Amsterdam stockpile onto the customer vessel — seller is responsible for shipping and handling costs, these are however recovered from the customer.
Cost Insurance Freight (CIF) and Cost Freight Railage (CFR)	When the coal is loaded into the vessel — seller is responsible for shipping and handling costs which are included in the selling price.

The related costs of sales are recognised in the same period as the supply of the coal and include any shipping and handling costs incurred. All inter-segment sales are conducted at market related prices.

Sasol Gas

Sasol Gas’ activities include the marketing of clean-burning pipeline gas sourced from Sasol Synfuels and natural gas from the Mozambican gas fields.

Sasol Gas sells gas under long-term contracts at a price determinable from the supply agreements. Turnover is recognised at the intake flange of the customer where it is metered, which is the point at which the title and risks and rewards of ownership passes to the customer, and where prices are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Gas analysis and tests of the specifications and content are performed prior to delivery.

27

Transportation and handling costs are included in turnover when billed to customers in conjunction with the sale of a product. The related costs of sales are recognised in the same period as the turnover.

Sasol Synfuels

Sasol Synfuels’ activities include the production, using natural gas, from Sasol Gas, and synthesis gas derived from coal, supplied by Sasol Mining, using in-house technology to convert this into a wide range of liquid fuels intermediates and petrochemicals. Sasol Synfuels also provides chemical feedstock to, amongst others Sasol Polymers and Sasol Solvents.

Sasol Synfuels sells synthetic fuels, chemical feedstock and industrial pipeline gas under contracts at prices determinable from the agreements. Turnover is recognised for the liquid fuel intermediates and petrochemicals when the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, which is when the product has passed over the appropriate weigh bridge or flow meter, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Sasol Oil

Sasol Oil is responsible for the group’s crude oil refining activities and for blending and marketing of all liquid fuels and lubricants.

Sasol Oil sells liquid fuel products under both short-term and long-term agreements for both retail sales and commercial sales including sales to other oil companies. The prices are regulated and fixed by South African law for retail sales, and the prices are fixed and determinable according to the specific contract with periodic price adjustments for commercial sales and sales to other oil companies. Laboratory tests of the fuel specifications and content are performed prior to delivery. Turnover is recognised under the following arrangements:

·Commercial sales transactions and sales to other oil companies: when product is delivered to the customer site, which is the point where the risks and rewards of ownership and title of the product transfer to the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured.

·Dealer-owned supply agreements and franchise agreements: upon delivery of the product to the customer, which is the point where the risks and rewards of ownership of the product transfer to the customer. Title under these contracts is retained to enable recovery of the goods in the event of customer default on payment. The title to the good does not enable the group to dispose of the product or rescind the transaction, and cannot prevent the customer from selling the product.

Turnover for the supply of fuel is based on measurement through a flow-meter into customers’ tanks. Shipping and handling costs are included in turnover when billed to customers in conjunction with the sale of a product. The related costs of sales are recognised in the same period as the turnover.

28

Other

This segment currently includes capitalised costs related to the pre-feasibility study for the expansion of our synthetic fuels capacity in South Africa. Based on the reprioritisation of our capital projects, we have decided to put this project on hold.

·the resulting translation differences are included as other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Management of the group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future in applying its accounting policies. The resulting accounting estimates may, by definition, not equal the related actual results. Management continually evaluates estimates and judgements based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimates are reviewed and in any future periods affected.

The use of inaccurate assumptions in calculations for any of these estimates could result in a significant impact on financial results.

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are included in the following notes:

Critical estimate, judgement or assumption	Note reference
Valuation of share-based payments and key assumptions used	Note 47
Impairment of assets — determination of the recoverable amount and key assumptions used	Note 38
Provision for rehabilitation and environmental costs	Note 20
Valuation of post-retirement obligations and key assumptions used	Note 21
Estimation of useful economic lives of assets	Note 2,3,5
Estimation of oil, gas and coal reserves	Refer to accounting policy on “Exploration, evaluation and development”

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	1

Notes to the financial statements

1NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The consolidation suite of accounting standards, namely IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), as amended, IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11), as amended, and IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12), as amended became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaced IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements and SIC-12, Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. The new standard changed the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to control those returns through its power over the investee.

The adoption of IFRS 10 has resulted in an existing subsidiary, National Petroleum Refiners of South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Natref), in which the group has a 64% interest, being accounted for as a joint operation using the line-by-line consolidation method.

No material subsidiaries within the group were affected. The group has applied IFRS 10 retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and the 2013 and 2012 results have been restated accordingly. There is no significant impact on the net assets or underlying earnings of the group as a result of the adoption of IFRS 10.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC-13, Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers.

The new standard changed the classifications for joint arrangements and removed the option to account for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures or joint operations based on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement, the legal form of the joint arrangement and when relevant, other facts and circumstances.

In a joint venture, the parties sharing joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets and must account for their interests in the arrangement using the equity method. In a joint operation, the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities and must account for the assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses for which they have rights or obligations including their share of such items held or incurred jointly.

The application of this standard has resulted in the following significant changes:

	% of equity owned	Previous accounting treatment	Revised accounting treatment
ORYX GTL Limited	49	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Sasol-Huntsman GmbH & co KG	50	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Petronas Chemicals LDPE Sdn Bhd	40	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Uzbekistan GTL LLC	44,5	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC) (1)	50	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Merisol LP (2)	50	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Sasol Dyno Nobel (Pty) Ltd	50	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Petromoc e Sasol SARL	49	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted
Spring Lights Gas (Pty) Ltd	49	Proportionately consolidated	Equity accounted

(1) The group disposed of its investment in Arya Sasol Polymer Company in August 2013. The relevant prior periods have been restated to account for this investment in accordance with IFRS 11 as an equity accounted joint venture.

(2) In December 2012, Sasol acquired the remaining 50% shareholding in Merisol. Accordingly, this investment was accounted for as a 100% subsidiary from 31 December 2012.

The group has applied IFRS 11 retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and the 2013 and 2012 results have been restated accordingly. There is no significant impact on the net assets or underlying earnings of the group as a result of the adoption of IFRS 11.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries (including related non-controlling interests), joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. These disclosures are reflected within the relevant notes to the financial statements. The group has applied IFRS 12 retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions, and the 2013 and 2012 results have been restated accordingly.

Impact of adopting new accounting standards

The adoption of IFRS 10 and 11 did not have a significant impact on the statement of changes in equity, the statement of comprehensive income, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the years ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012. The reportable segments have been restated to reflect the adoption of the new accounting standards.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements requires an opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2012 where there has been a retrospective change in accounting policies. References to 2012 in relation to the statement of financial position are therefore to 1 July 2012. References to 2012 in respect of the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are to the year ended 30 June 2012.

The impact of adopting IFRS 10 and IFRS 11 on the comparative financial statements is set out in the tables below:

Per the statement of cash flows		34 371		27 293		25 922

The group hedges its exposure in South Africa to foreign currency risk in respect of its significant capital projects. This is done primarily by means of forward exchange contracts. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to these hedging transactions and accordingly, the effective portion of any gain or loss realised on these contracts is adjusted against the underlying item of assets under construction.

Capital expenditure (cash flow)

As part of the normal plant operations, the group incurs capital expenditure to replace or modify significant components of plant to maintain the useful lives of the plant operations and improve plant efficiencies.

Amortisation of intangible assets

Amortisation rates on intangible assets are noted in the accounting policies. Emission rights are not subject to amortisation. The assessment that the estimated useful lives of these assets are indefinite is based on the assumption that emission rights can be utilised over an indefinite number of years as there are no limitations on the transferability thereof. This assessment is reviewed at least annually. The recoverable amount of emission rights is determined based on their quoted market price.

6.1Investments available-for-sale

Fair value of investments available-for-sale

The fair value of the unlisted equity investments cannot be determined as there is no quoted price available for an identical or similar instrument in an active market. Accordingly, these investments are carried at their original cost less impairment in the statement of financial position. The unlisted investments represent strategic investments of the group and are long term in nature as management has no intention of disposing of these investments in the foreseeable future.

The fair value of the listed investments is based on the quoted market price as at 30 June 2014. Investments amounting to R311 million (2013 - R242 million; 2012 - Rnil) are restricted for use as they are held in a separate trust to be used exclusively for rehabilitation purposes at Sasol Mining. Management has no intention of disposing of these investments in the foreseeable future.

6.2Investment held-for-trading

Fair value of investment held-for-trading

The fair value of the unlisted equity investment cannot be determined as there is no quoted price available for an identical or similar instrument in an active market. Accordingly, this investment is carried at its original cost less impairment in the statement of financial position.

6.3Investments held-to-maturity

Fair value of investments held-to-maturity

The fair value of investments held-to-maturity which comprises of long-term fixed deposits is determined using a discounted cash flow method using market related rates at 30 June 2014.  The market related rates used to discount estimated cash flows were between 6,20% and 7,11% (2013 - 4,22% and 5,42%; 2012 - 5,77%% and 6,03%). The long-term fixed deposits are restricted for use as they are held in a separate trust to be used exclusively for rehabilitation purposes at Sasol Mining.

12.1Sasol Synfuels International - Investment in Uzbekistan GTL joint venture

During 2014, based on the reprioritisation of our capital projects, the Sasol Limited board approved a decrease in Sasol’s shareholding in the Uzbekistan GTL project from 44,5% to 25,5%. Accordingly, management has classified the full investment of 44,5% as held for sale at 30 June 2014 and impaired a portion of the development and business establishment costs.

12.2Sasol Oil - Investment in Naledi Petroleum Holdings (Pty) Ltd

In December 2013, Sasol entered negotiations with potential buyers interested in acquiring the shareholding in Exel Lesotho (Pty) Ltd and Exel Swaziland (Pty) Ltd. The sale is expected to be concluded within the next 12 months.

12.3Sasol Infrachem - Air separation unit

During 2014, Sasol entered into negotiations with a potential buyer to dispose of its Air separation unit in Sasolburg. The sale was concluded in July 2014 after approval was obtained from the South African Competition Commission on 31 July 2014 (refer note 61).

12.4Sasol Polymers - Investment in ASPC joint venture

On 25 November 2011, the Sasol Limited board approved the commencement of negotiations to sell Sasol’s share in ASPC. In February 2013, a memorandum of understanding was concluded with an interested party.

The price stipulated in the memorandum of understanding confirmed the valuation performed by management and the investment was accordingly written down to its fair value less costs to sell (refer note 38). On 16 August 2013, Sasol disposed of its 50% interest in ASPC (refer note 57).

Impairment of trade receivables

Trade receivables that are not past their due date are not considered to be impaired, except where they are part of individually impaired trade receivables. The individually impaired trade receivables mainly relate to certain customers who are trading in difficult economic circumstances.

No individual customer represents more than 10% of the group’s trade receivables.

Fair value of trade receivables

Fair value of long-term debt

The fair value of long-term debt is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar instruments or on the current rates available for debt with the same maturity profile and with similar cash flows. Market related rates ranging between 1,2% and 16,6% were used to discount estimated cash flows based on the underlying currency of the debt.

Total long-term debt (before unamortised loan costs)(1)	26 531	22 266	12 959

(1) The difference in the fair value of long-term debt in 2014 compared to the carrying value is mainly due to the prevailing market price of the US Bond on the New York Stock Exchange at 30 June 2014.

In terms of Sasol Limited’s memorandum of incorporation, the group’s borrowing powers are limited to twice the sum of its share capital and reserves (2014 - R342 billion; 2013 - R299 billion; 2012 - R250 billion).

Environmental Provisions

Representing the estimated actual cash flows in the period in which the obligation is settled.

In accordance with the group’s published environmental policy and applicable legislation, a provision for rehabilitation is recognised when the obligation arises.

The environmental obligation includes estimated costs for the rehabilitation of coal mining, oil, gas and petrochemical sites. The amount provided is calculated based on currently available facts and applicable legislation.

The determination of long-term provisions, in particular environmental provisions, remains a key area where management’s judgement is required. Estimating the future cost of these obligations is complex and requires management to make estimates and judgements because most of the obligations will only be fulfilled in the future and contracts and laws are often not clear regarding what is required. The resulting provisions could also be influenced by changing technologies and political, environmental, safety, business and statutory considerations.

It is envisaged that, based on the current information available, any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the group’s financial position, liquidity or cash flow.

The following risk-free rates were used to discount the estimated cash flows based on the underlying currency and time duration of the obligation.

21.1 Post-retirement healthcare benefits

The group provides post-retirement healthcare benefits to certain of its retirees, principally in South Africa and the United States of America. The method of accounting and the frequency of valuations for determining the liability are similar to those used for defined benefit pension plans.

South Africa

The post-retirement benefit plan provides certain healthcare and life assurance benefits to South African employees hired prior to 1 January 1998, who retire and satisfy the necessary requirements of the medical fund.  Generally, medical coverage provides for a specified percentage of most medical expenses, subject to pre-set rules and maximum amounts. The cost of providing these contributions is shared with the retirees. The plan is unfunded. The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation is accrued over the employee’s working life until full eligibility age.

United States of America

Certain other healthcare and life assurance benefits are provided for personnel employed in the United States of America. Generally, medical coverage pays a specified percentage of most medical expenses, subject to pre-set maximum amounts and reduced for payments made by healthcare provider, Medicare. The cost of providing these benefits is shared with the retirees. The plan is also unfunded.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis is performed in order to assess how the post-retirement healthcare obligation would be affected by changes in the actuarial assumptions underpinning the calculation.

*A change in the healthcare cost inflation for the United States of America will not have an effect on the above components or the obligation as the employer’s cost is capped and all future increases due to the healthcare cost inflation are borne by the participants.

The sensitivities may not be representative of the actual change in the post-retirement healthcare obligation, as it is unlikely that the changes would occur in isolation of one another, and some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Pension increase risk

Benefits in these plans are linked to pension benefits paid, which are to some extent linked to inflation. Accordingly, increased inflation levels represent a risk that could increase the cost of paying the funds committed to benefits.

Measurement risk

There are important assumptions underpinning the calculation of the IAS 19 obligation. These include the healthcare cost inflation and discount rate assumptions.

Healthcare cost inflation risk: Healthcare cost inflation is CPI inflation plus two percentage points over the long-term. An increase in healthcare cost inflation will increase the obligation of the plan.

Discount rate risk: The discount rate is derived from prevailing bond yields. A decrease in the discount rate used will increase the obligation of the plan.

Other

Changes in other assumptions used could also affect the measured liabilities. There is also a regulatory risk as well as foreign funds under the jurisdiction of other countries. To the extent that governments can change the regulatory frameworks, there may be a risk that minimum benefits or minimum pension increases may be instituted, increasing the associated cost for the fund.

Sasol Limited group

Notes to the financial statements

21.2 Pension benefits

The group operates or contributes to defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans in the countries in which it operates.

Contributions by the group and in some cases the employees are made for funds set up in South Africa and the United States of America, while no contributions are made for plans established in other geographic areas like Europe.

Provisions for pension obligations are established for benefits payable in the form of retirement, disability and surviving dependent pensions. The benefits offered vary according to the legal, fiscal and economic conditions of each country.

South African operations

Background

Sasol contributes to the Sasol Pension fund (the fund), a pension fund which provides defined post-retirement and death benefits based on final pensionable salary at retirement. Prior to 1 April 1994, this pension fund was open to all employees of the group in South Africa. In 1994, all members were given the choice to voluntarily transfer to the newly established defined contribution section of the pension fund and approximately 99% of contributing members chose to transfer to the defined contribution section.  At that date the calculated actuarial surplus of approximately R1 250 million was apportioned to pensioners, members transferring to the defined contribution section and a R200 million balance was allocated within the pension fund to an employer’s reserve.

Defined benefit option for defined contribution members

In terms of the rules of the fund, on retirement, employees employed before 1 January 2009 have an option to purchase a defined benefit pension with their member share. Should a member elect this option, the group is exposed to actuarial risk from the date of retirement. In terms of IAS 19, the classification requirements stipulate that where an employer is exposed to any actuarial risk, the fund must be classified as a defined benefit plan. In 2014, Sasol reassessed the accounting for defined contribution members holding such options. This change in classification had no impact on the net pension asset recognised in the statement of financial position, and the related items in the statement of comprehensive income. The disclosures have been re-presented to include the obligation and the related plan assets for the defined contribution portion of the fund, in both the current and previous years.

There is no legal or constructive obligation created through this additional disclosure. The fund will continue to distinguish between the different types of members based on the benefits associated with each, in terms of the definitions provided in the South African Pension Funds Act, 1956.

Notional Pensioner Account

Within the rules of the pension fund, any excess of the current pensioner’s assets over the obligation relating to them is reserved for future benefit of the pensioners (usually in the form of pension increases). Because this notional pensioners account must be used for the benefit of the pensioners, it is accrued as part of the overall fund obligation for the group. In future, any shortfall in a particular year can be funded out of this notional pensioners account. This reserve can only be utilised for the benefit of the current pensioners, however, when a defined benefit member retires, or a defined contribution member elects the option to purchase into the defined benefit fund, they will be equally entitled to any notional pensioners account at that point. Should the group’s net position ever be that of a liability, the notional pensioners account can be used to fund future pension increases if necessary. The group will only recognise a liability once the notional pensioner account has been fully utilised.

Fund Assets

The assets of the fund are held separately from those of the company in a trustee administered fund, registered in terms of the South African Pension Funds Act, 1956. Included in the fund assets are 2 007 108  Sasol ordinary shares valued at R1 269 million at year end (2013 - 2 007 108 Sasol ordinary shares valued at R866 million) purchased under terms of an approved investment strategy.

Contributions

The annual pension charge is determined in consultation with the pension fund’s independent actuary and is calculated using assumptions consistent with those used at the last actuarial valuation of the pension fund. The fund assets have been valued at fair value.

The pension asset of R487 million (2013 — R407 million) in the statement of financial position represents the accumulated excess of the actual contributions paid to the pension fund in excess of the accumulated pension liability and the surplus that arose prior to 31 December 2002, to which the company is entitled in terms of the Surplus Apportionment Scheme as well as the rules of the fund.

Members of the defined benefit section are required to contribute to the pension fund at the rate of 7,5% of pensionable salary. Sasol meets the balance of the cost of providing benefits. Company contributions are based on the results of the actuarial valuation of the pension fund in terms of South African legislation and are agreed by Sasol Limited and the pension fund trustees.

Contributions, for the defined contributions section, are paid by the members and Sasol at fixed rates. Contributions to the defined contribution fund by the group for the year ended 30 June 2014 amounted to R1 562 million, comprising R1 027 million of contributions made by the employer and R535 million in respect of employees (2013 - R1 295 million, comprising R862 million of contributions made by the employer and R433 million in respect of employee contributions).

Limitation of asset recognition

In December 2001, the Pension Funds Second Amendment Act (the Act) was promulgated. The Act generally provides for the payment of enhanced benefits to former members, minimum pension increases for pensioners and the apportionment of any actuarial surplus existing in the Fund, at the apportionment date, in an equitable manner between existing members including pensioners, former members and the employer in such proportions as the trustees of the fund shall determine.

In terms of the Act, the fund undertook a surplus apportionment exercise as at December 2002. The surplus apportionment exercise, and the 31 December 2002 statutory valuation of the Fund, was approved by the Financial Services Board on 26 September 2006. Payments of benefits to former members in terms of the surplus apportionment scheme have been substantially completed and an amount of R108 million (2013 - R104 million) has been set aside for members that have not claimed their benefits.

Based on the latest actuarial valuation of the fund and the approval of the trustees of the surplus allocation, the company has an unconditional entitlement to only the funds in the employer surplus account and the contribution reserve. The estimated surplus due to the company amounted to approximately R487 million (2013 - R407 million) and has been included in the pension asset recognised in the current year.

Notes to the financial statements

Membership

A significant number of employees are covered by union sponsored, collectively bargained, and in some cases, multi employer defined contribution pension plans. Information from the administrators of these plans offering defined benefits is not sufficient to permit the company to determine its share, if any, of any unfunded vested benefits.

The group occupies certain properties owned by the Sasol Pension Fund. The fair value of investment properties owned by the Sasol Pension Fund is R5 292 million as at 30 June 2014 (2013 - R4 298 million).

Foreign operations

Pension coverage for employees of the group’s international operations is provided through separate plans. The company systematically provides for obligations under such plans by depositing funds with trustees for those plans operating in the United States of America or by creation of accounting obligations for other plans.

Pension fund assets

The assets of the pension funds are invested as follows:

	South Africa		United States of America
	2014	2013	2014	2013

The pension fund assets are measured at fair value at valuation date. The fair value of the equity and debt instruments have been calculated by reference to quoted prices in an active market. The fair value of property and other assets has been determined by performing market valuations and using other valuation techniques at the end of each reporting period.

Investment strategy

The investment objectives of the group’s pension plans are designed to generate returns that will enable the plans to meet their future obligations. The precise amount for which these obligations will be settled depends on future events, including the life expectancy of the plan’s members and salary inflation. The obligations are estimated using actuarial assumptions, based on the current economic environment.

The pension plans seek to achieve total returns both sufficient to meet expected future obligations as well as returns greater than their policy benchmark reflecting the target weights of the asset classes used in its targeted strategic asset allocation.

In evaluating the strategic asset allocation choices, an emphasis is placed on the long-term characteristics of each individual asset class, and the benefits of diversification among multiple asset classes. Consideration is also given to the proper long-term level of risk for the plan, particularly with respect to the long-term nature of the plan’s liabilities, the impact of asset allocation on investment results, and the corresponding impact on the volatility and magnitude of plan contributions and expense and the impact certain actuarial techniques may have on the plan’s recognition of investment experience.

The trustees target the plans’ asset allocation within the following ranges within each asset class:

	South Africa(1)		United States of America
	Minimum	Maximum	Minimum	Maximum
Asset classes	%	%	%	%
Equities
local	45	60	25	65
foreign	5	15	—	25
Fixed interest	6	25	20	65
Property	10	35	—	20
Other	—	20	—	20

(1)   Members of the scheme have a choice of four investment portfolios. The targeted allocation disclosed represents the moderate balanced investment portfolio which the majority of the members of the scheme have adopted. The total assets of the fund under these investment portfolios are R144 million, R37 689 million, R857 million and R20 million for the low portfolio, moderate portfolio, aggressive portfolio and money market portfolio, respectively. Defined benefit members’ funds are invested in the moderate balanced portfolio. The money market portfolio is restricted to pensioners only.

The obligation which arises for the defined contribution members with the option to purchase into the defined benefit fund is limited to the assets that they have accumulated until retirement date. However, after retirement date, there is actuarial risk associated with the members as full defined benefit members. Thus the obligation raised for the defined contribution members exceeds their related asset. The surplus which existed in the fund before consideration of these members was affected by this inclusion. As a result, the previously reported asset ceiling limit in 2013 is no longer relevant, as the funds surplus is the same as the assets attributable to the employer.

Sensitivity analysis

A sensitivity analysis is performed in order to assess how the post-retirement pension obligation would be affected by changes in the actuarial assumptions underpinning the calculation.

	South Africa				Foreign
	2014		2013		2014		2013
for the year ended 30 June	Rm		Rm		Rm		Rm
1% point change in actuarial assumptions:
Increase in average salaries	26		32		272		179
Decrease in average salaries	(23	)	(29	)	(371	)	(407	)
Increase in the discount rate	(1 549	)	(1 227	)	(1 260	)	(1 102	)
Decrease in the discount rate	1 858		1 482		1 479		1 164
Increase in the pension increase assumption	1 793		1 401		626	*	418	*
Decrease in the pension increase assumption	(1 539	)	(1 195	)	(628	)*	(576	)*

*This sensitivity analysis relates only to the Europe obligations as there are no automatic pension increases for the United States pension plan, and thus it is not one of the inputs utilised in calculating the obligation.

The sensitivities may not be representative of the actual change in the post-retirement pension obligation, as it is unlikely that the changes would occur in isolation of one another, and some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Investment risk

The actuarial valuation assumes certain asset returns on invested assets. If actual returns on plan assets are below the assumption, this may lead to a strain on the fund, which, over time, may lead to a plan deficit. In order to mitigate the concentration risk, the fund assets are invested across equity securities, property securities and debt securities. Given the long term nature of the obligations, it is considered appropriate that investment is made in equities and real estate to improve the return generated by the fund. These may result in improved pension benefits to members.

Pension increase risk

Benefits in these plans are to some extent linked to inflation so increased inflation levels represent a risk that could increase the cost of paying the funds committed to benefits. This risk is mitigated as pension benefits are subject to affordability.

Measurement risk

There are important assumptions underpinning the calculation of the IAS 19 obligation. These include the salary increase and discount rate assumptions.

Salary risk: An increase in the salary of plan participants will increase the plan’s liability. This risk has been limited with the closure of the defined benefit plan and the introduction of the defined contribution plan. There are now a limited number of active defined benefit members.

Discount rate risk: The discount rate is derived from prevailing bond yields. A decrease in the discount rate used will increase the obligation of the plan.

Other

Changes in other assumptions used could also affect the measured liabilities. There is also a regulatory risk as well as foreign funds under the jurisdiction of other countries. To the extent that governments can change the regulatory frameworks, there may be a risk that minimum benefits or minimum pension increases may be instituted, increasing the associated cost for the fund.

Notes to the financial statements

Deferred tax assets have been recognised to the extent that it is probable that the entities will generate future taxable income against which these tax losses can be utilised. A portion of the estimated tax losses available may be subject to various statutory limitations as to its usage.

Dividend withholding tax

On 1 April 2012, STC was replaced with a dividend withholding tax. Subsequent to 1 April 2012, outstanding STC credits can be carried forward for a period of three years. The company may utilise the available STC credits to reduce the liability for dividend withholding tax of the beneficial holder of the share. The company has not recognised deferred tax assets relating to these STC credits at 30 June 2014 (2013 - Rnil).

Dividend withholding tax is payable at a rate of 15% on dividends distributed to shareholders. Dividends paid to companies and certain other institutions and certain individuals are not subject to this withholding tax. This tax is not attributable to the company paying the dividend but is collected by the company and paid to the tax authorities on behalf of the shareholder.

On receipt of a dividend, the company includes the dividend withholding tax on this dividend in its computation of the income tax expense in the period of such receipt.

Impairment / reversal of impairments

The group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, where an individual asset cannot generate cash inflows independently, the recoverable amount is determined for the larger cash generating unit to which it belongs.

Value-in-use calculations

The recoverable amount of the assets reviewed for impairment is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Key assumptions relating to this valuation include the discount rate and cash flows used to determine the value in use. Future cash flows are estimated based on financial budgets approved by management covering a three, five and ten year period and are extrapolated over the useful life of the assets to reflect the long-term plans for the group using the estimated growth rate for the specific business or project. The estimated future cash flows and discount rates used are post-tax, based on an assessment of the current risks applicable to the specific entity and country in which it operates. Discounting post-tax cash flows at a post-tax discount rate yields the same result as discounting pre-tax cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate, assuming there are no significant temporary tax differences.

Management determines the expected performance of the assets based on past performance and its expectations of market development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with the increase in the geographic segment long-term Producer Price Index. Estimations are based on a number of key assumptions such as volume, price and product mix which will create a basis for future growth and gross margin. These assumptions are set in relation to historic figures and external reports on market growth. If necessary, these cash flows are then adjusted to take into account any changes in assumptions or operating conditions that have been identified subsequent to the preparation of the budgets.

The weighted average cost of capital rate (WACC) is derived from a pricing model based on credit risk and the cost of the debt. The variables used in the model are established on the basis of management judgement and current market conditions. Management judgement is also applied in estimating the future cash flows of the cash generating units. These values are sensitive to the cash flows projected for the periods for which detailed forecasts are not available and to the assumptions regarding the long-term sustainability of the cash flows thereafter.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

Management has considered the sensitivity of the value in use calculations to various key assumptions such as crude oil and gas prices, commodity prices and exchange rates. These sensitivities have been taken into consideration in determining the required impairments and reversals of impairments. The following assets are particularly impacted by changes in key assumptions:

Sasol Canada - Shale gas assets

With regards to the impairment recognised in respect of the Sasol Canada shale gas assets in 2014, the value in use calculation is particularly sensitive to changes in the gas price, estimated ultimate recovery factor as well as changes in drilling and completion costs. These variables are interdependent and accordingly a 5% change in any of these variables could change the recoverable amount by CAD200 million - CAD420 million. Some of these factors are within the control of management and is monitored closely to minimise the impact of potential impairments. The gas price however is a market price driven by global macroeconomics and hence cannot be controlled by management. We continue to monitor this asset for further impairments or signs of recovery indicating a reversal of impairment.

Sasol Wax - FTWEP project

With regards to the impairment recognised in respect of the Sasol Wax SA business in 2013, the FTWEP project is particularly sensitive to changes in the exchange rate. A 10 cents change in the exchange rate would change the recoverable amount by approximately R247 million.

Impairment of shale gas assets in Canada

In December 2013, we impaired our shale gas assets in Canada by R5,3 billion (CAD540 million) mainly due to the decline in gas prices in North America and a decline in value of recent market transactions for similar assets in the Montney region. A value in use calculation was performed using management’s best estimate of the discounted cash flows with appropriate risk adjustments for the macro-economic factors and project risk.  The discount rate used in the calculation of the value in use is 8%, as is appropriate for a Canadian based cash flow. This rate has remained unchanged from the rate used in the previous estimate of the value in use of these assets.

Impairment of long term licences in Botswana

We performed an impairment review of our 50% interest in prospecting licences held in Botswana. The results of the exploration work programme indicated that no further technical, commercial or strategic value could be extracted from these licences and it was  highly unlikely that any additional study work on these licences would improve the commercial viability. Accordingly, the capitalised costs amounting to R95 million (US$9 million) were impaired.

Impairment of Solvents Germany assets

High feedstock prices, poor demand and high energy costs burdened our  assets in Solvents Germany. Accordingly, we decided to dispose of these assets and consequently recognised an impairment of R466 million (EUR32 million) in December 2013, based on managements assessment of the fair value less costs of disposal. The sales transaction was completed on 31 May 2014 when merger control approval was obtained from the relevant authorities. Refer note 57.

Impairment of investment in Uzbekistan

In 2013, based on the reprioritisation of our capital projects, the Sasol Limited board approved a decrease in Sasol’s shareholding in the Uzbekistan GTL project from 44,5% to 25,5%. Accordingly, the investment in Uzbekistan GTL was evaluated for impairment at 30 June 2014. The valuation was performed using a risk probability method, based on the likely amount that would be received in terms of the contract from a market participant. Based on the results of the valuation model, an impairment of R275 million was recognised.

Significant impairments of assets in 2013

Sasol Wax - Sasol Wax South Africa

In 2009, the Sasol Limited board approved the construction of the Fischer Tropsch Wax Expansion Project (FTWEP) with an estimated end of job cost of R8,3 billion which is part of the Sasol Wax South Africa cash generating unit. Due to the volatile macroeconomic environment and increased costs relating primarily to construction delays and poor labour productivity, an impairment review was performed during 2013. After a robust reassessment of the FTWEP project economics, Sasol Wax South Africa was impaired by R2 033 million at 30 June 2013 based on the value-in-use being lower than the carrying value. The discount rate used to calculate the value-in-use was 12,95%.

Sasol Polymers - Investment in ASPC joint venture

ASPC was a 50% joint venture of Sasol Polymers International Investments situated in Iran. Due to the volatile political environment and on-going economic sanctions against Iran coupled with operational risks and management’s intention to dispose of the asset, an impairment review was performed based on the business model during 2013.

On 25 November 2011, the Sasol Limited board approved the commencement of negotiations to sell Sasol’s share in ASPC and at 30 June 2013 the investment in the ASPC joint venture was classified as held for sale. Based on the indicative offer received in the memorandum of understanding signed with a purchaser at the time, an impairment of R3 611 million was recognised in 2013.

44  EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (EPS) is derived by dividing attributable earnings by the weighted average number of shares, after taking the share repurchase programme and the Sasol Inzalo share transaction into account.  Appropriate adjustments are made in calculating diluted, headline and diluted headline earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) reflect the potential dilution that could occur if all of the group’s outstanding share options were exercised and the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares resulting from the Sasol Inzalo share transaction. The number of shares outstanding is adjusted to show the potential dilution if employee share options and Sasol Inzalo share rights are converted into ordinary shares and the ordinary shares that will be issued to settle the A and B preference shares in the Sasol Inzalo share transaction.

* The Sasol Inzalo transaction is anti-dilutive for EPS in 2013 and 2012.

The diluted weighted average number of shares in issue does not include the effect of ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of Sasol Inzalo share rights in respect of The Sasol Inzalo Employee Trust and The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust, as their effect was not dilutive for 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Sasol’s share price increased by 47% over the financial year to a closing price on 30 June 2014 of R632,36. This resulted in a substantial year-on-year increase in the long-term employee share-based payment expense of R3,6 billion.

Share options and share rights available for allocation

Previously in terms of the long-term and medium-term incentive schemes, the number of share options and share rights available to eligible group employees through the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme, Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme and the Sasol Long-term Incentive Scheme shall not at any time exceed 80 million shares/rights. Following the introduction of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme in March 2007, no further options have been issued in terms of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme.

In June 2012, the Sasol Limited board approved that the maximum number of rights to be issued under the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme and the Sasol Long-term Incentive Scheme be decreased to 69 million shares/rights, representing 10% of Sasol Limited’s issued share capital immediately after the Sasol Inzalo share transaction.

EQUITY SETTLED SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEMES

47.1 THE SASOL SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME

In 1988, the shareholders approved the adoption of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme.  The scheme was introduced to provide an incentive for senior employees (including executive directors) of the group who participate in management and also non-executive directors from time to time.

The objective of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme is to recognise the contributions of senior staff to the value added to the group’s financial position and performance and to retain key employees. Allocations are linked to the performance of both the group and the individual. Options are granted for a period of nine years and vest as follows:

2 years - 1st third

4 years - 2nd third

6 years - final third

The offer price of these options equals the closing market price of the underlying shares on the trading day immediately preceding the granting of the option. These options are settled by means of the issue of Sasol ordinary shares of no par value by Sasol Limited. The fair value of the equity settled expense is calculated at grant date.

On resignation, share options which have not yet vested will lapse and share options which have vested may be taken up at the employee’s election before their last day of service. Payment on shares forfeited will therefore not be required.  On death, all options vest immediately and the deceased estate has a period of twelve months to exercise these options.  On retrenchment, all share options vest immediately and the employee has a period of twelve months to exercise these options. On retirement the options vest immediately and the nine year expiry period remains unchanged.

Following the introduction of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme in March 2007, no further options have been issued in terms of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme. Unimplemented share options will not be affected by the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme.

It is group policy that employees should not deal in Sasol Limited securities for the periods from 1 January for half year end and 1 July for year end until 2 days after publication of the results and at any other time during which they have access to price sensitive information.

There was no income tax recognised as a consequence of Sasol Share Incentive Scheme.

*  The last tranche of share options vested in December 2012, therefore the unrecognised share-based payment expense amounted to R nil at 30 June 2014 (2013 - R nil; 2012 - R2 million).

47.2 THE SASOL INZALO SHARE TRANSACTION

In May 2008, the shareholders approved the Sasol Inzalo share transaction, a broad-based black economic empowerment (BEE) transaction, which resulted in the transfer of beneficial ownership of 10% (63,1 million shares) of Sasol Limited’s issued share capital before the implementation of this transaction to its employees and a wide spread of BEE participants. The transaction was introduced to assist Sasol, as a major participant in the South African economy, in meeting its empowerment objectives.

(2) The unrecognised share-based payment expense related to non-vested Employee and Management Trusts’ share rights, expected to be recognised over a weighted average period of 1,47 years amounted to R454 million at 30 June 2014 (2013 - R721 million; 2012 - R1 093 million).

i  The Sasol Inzalo Employee Trust and The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust (the Trusts)

On 3 June 2008, staff members that were South African residents or who were migrant workers that did not participate in the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme and the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme participated in The Sasol Inzalo Employee Trust (Employee Scheme), while all senior black staff that are South African residents participated in The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust (Management Scheme).

The share rights which, subject to the scheme rules, entitle the employees from the inception of the scheme to receive Sasol ordinary shares at the end of ten years, vest according to unconditional entitlement as follows:

· after three years: 30%

· thereafter: 10% per year until maturity

Participants in the Employee Scheme were granted share rights to 850 Sasol ordinary shares. The allocation of the shares in the Management Scheme was based on seniority and ranged from 5 000 to 25 000. Of the allocated shares 12% has been set aside for new employees appointed during the first five years of the transaction. On resignation, within the first three years from the inception of the transaction, share rights granted were forfeited. For each year thereafter, 10% of such share rights will be forfeited for each year or part thereof remaining until the end of the transaction period. On retirement, death or retrenchment the rights will remain with the participant, or its estate.

Sasol Limited group

Notes to the financial statements

The fair value of the equity settled share-based payment expense is calculated at grant date and expensed over the vesting period of the share rights.

The Sasol ordinary shares were issued to the Trusts, funded by contributions from Sasol, which collectively subscribed for 25,2 million Sasol ordinary shares at an issue price of R366,00 per share, with a nominal value of R0,01 per share, subject to pre-conditions regarding the right to receive only 50% of ordinary dividends paid on ordinary shares and Sasol’s right to repurchase a number of shares at a nominal value of R0,01 per share at the end of year ten in accordance with a pre-determined formula. The participant has the right to all ordinary dividends received by the Trusts for the duration of the transaction.

After Sasol has exercised its repurchase right and subject to any forfeiture of share rights, each participant will receive a number of Sasol ordinary shares in relation to their respective share rights.

Any shares remaining in the Trusts after the distribution to participants may be distributed to The Sasol Inzalo Foundation.

ii  The Sasol Inzalo Foundation

On 3 June 2008, The Sasol Inzalo Foundation, which was incorporated as a trust registered as a public benefit organisation, subscribed for 9,5 million Sasol ordinary shares at an issue price of R366,00 per share, with a nominal value of R0,01 per share.

The primary focus of The Sasol Inzalo Foundation is skills development and capacity building of black South Africans, predominantly in the fields of mathematics, science and technology.

The conditions of subscription for Sasol ordinary shares by The Sasol Inzalo Foundation includes the right to receive dividends equal to 5% of the ordinary dividends declared in respect of Sasol ordinary shares held by the Foundation. With effect from 2013, the group executive committee approved the increase in the dividend to 50%. Sasol is entitled to repurchase a number of Sasol ordinary shares from the Foundation at a nominal value of R0,01 per share at the end of ten years in accordance with a pre-determined formula.

After Sasol has exercised its repurchase right, the Foundation will receive 100% of dividends declared on the Sasol ordinary shares owned by the Foundation.

iii  Selected Participants

In 2008, selected BEE groups (Selected Participants) which included Sasol customers, Sasol suppliers, Sasol franchisees, women’s groups, trade unions and other professional associations, through a funding company, which is consolidated as part of the Sasol group, subscribed in total for 9,5 million Sasol preferred ordinary shares at an issue price of R366,00 per share, with a nominal value of R0,01 per share. A portion of these shares have not yet been allocated to Selected Participants and have been subscribed for by a facilitation trust, which is funded by Sasol. As at 30 June 2014, 1,1 million (2013 - 1,1 million; 2012 - 1,1 million) Sasol preferred ordinary shares were issued to the facilitation trust.

The Selected Participants contributed equity between 5% to 10% of the value of their underlying Sasol preferred ordinary shares allocation, with the balance of the contribution funded through preference share debt (refer note 18), including preference shares subscribed for by Sasol.

The fair value of the equity settled share-based payment expense relating to the share rights issued to the Selected Participants was calculated at grant date and was expensed immediately as all vesting conditions had been met at that date.

The Selected Participants are entitled to receive a dividend of up to 5% of the dividend declared on the Sasol preferred ordinary shares in proportion to their effective interest in Sasol’s issued share capital, from the commencement of the fourth year of the transaction term of ten years, subject to the financing requirements of the preference share debt.

At the end of the transaction term, the Sasol preferred ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares and will then be listed on the JSE. The Sasol ordinary shares remaining in the funding company after redeeming the preference share debt and paying costs may then be distributed to the Selected Participants in proportion to their shareholding.

The funding company, from inception, has full voting and economic rights with regard to its shareholding of Sasol’s total issued share capital.

iv  Black Public Invitations

The Sasol Inzalo Black Public Invitations aimed to provide as many black people (Black Public) as possible with an opportunity to acquire shares in Sasol. The Black Public owns 3% of Sasol’s issued share capital, through their participation in the Funded and Cash Invitations described below.

On 8 September 2008, the Black Public indirectly subscribed for 16 085 199 Sasol preferred ordinary shares and directly for 2 838 565 Sasol BEE ordinary shares.

The fair value of the equity settled share-based payment expense relating to the share rights issued to the Black Public calculated at grant date was expensed immediately as all vesting conditions would have been met at that date. At 30 June 2014, 56 452 (2013 - 56 090; 2012 - 56 250) Sasol preferred ordinary shares and 17 405 (2013 - 17 475; 2012 - 17 440) Sasol BEE ordinary shares were issued to a facilitation trust funded by Sasol.

Funded Invitation

The members of the Black Public participating in the Funded Invitation through a funding company, which is consolidated as part of the Sasol group, subscribed for 16,1 million Sasol preferred ordinary shares. The Black Public contributed equity between 5% to 10% of their underlying Sasol preferred ordinary shares allocation, with the balance of the contribution being funded through preference share debt (refer note 18) including preference shares subscribed for by Sasol.

Participants in the Funded Invitation could not dispose of their shares for the first three years after subscription. Since September 2011, for the remainder of the transaction term, trading in the shares is allowed with other Black People or Black Groups through an over-the-counter trading mechanism. Participants in the Funded Invitation may not encumber the shares held by them before the end of the transaction term.

The Black Public are entitled to receive a dividend of up to 5% of the dividend on the Sasol preferred ordinary shares in proportion to their effective interest in Sasol’s issued share capital, from the commencement of the fourth year of the transaction term of ten years, subject to the financing requirements of the preference share debt.

At the end of the transaction term, the Sasol preferred ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares and will then be listed on the JSE. The Sasol ordinary shares remaining in the funding company after redeeming the preference share debt and paying costs may then be distributed to the Black Public in proportion to their shareholding.

The funding company has, from inception, full voting and economic rights with regard to its interest in Sasol’s issued share capital.

Cash Invitation

The Cash Invitation allowed members of the Black Public to invest directly in Sasol Limited, by acquiring Sasol BEE ordinary shares. As at 30 June 2014, the Black Public held 2,8 million (2013 - 2,8 million; 2012 - 2,8 million) Sasol BEE ordinary shares. Participants in the Cash Invitation receive dividends per share simultaneously with, and equal to, Sasol ordinary shareholders. In addition, they are entitled to exercise full voting rights attached to their Sasol BEE ordinary shares.

The Sasol BEE ordinary shares could not be traded for the first two years of the transaction term of ten years and, for the remainder of the transaction term, can only be traded between Black People and Black Groups.

Participants in the Cash Invitation are entitled to encumber their Sasol BEE ordinary shares, provided that these shares continue to be owned by members of the Black Public for the duration of the transaction term.

In February 2011, Sasol Limited listed the Sasol BEE ordinary shares on the BEE segment of the JSE’s main board. This trading facility provides many shareholders access to a regulated market in line with Sasol’s commitment to broad-based shareholder development. At the end of the transaction term, the Sasol BEE ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares.

Notes to the financial statements

The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share rights is based on the South African government bonds in effect at the time of the grant.

The expected volatility in the value of the share rights granted is determined using the historical volatility of the Sasol ordinary share price.

The expected dividend yield of the share rights granted is determined using the historical dividend yield of the Sasol ordinary shares.

The valuation of the share-based payment expense requires a significant degree of judgement to be applied by management.

CASH SETTLED SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEMES

47.3  THE SASOL SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS SCHEME

The Share Appreciation Rights Scheme allows eligible senior employees to earn a long-term incentive amount calculated with reference to the increase in the Sasol ordinary share price between the offer date of share appreciation rights to exercise of such rights. With effect from September 2009, certain eligible senior managers received share appreciation rights that contained corporate performance targets (refer 47.3.2). These qualifying employees retained the share appreciation rights with no corporate performance targets that were granted to them previously.

47.3.1  Share Appreciation Rights with no corporate performance targets

The Share Appreciation Rights Scheme with no corporate performance targets, allows eligible senior employees to earn a long-term incentive amount calculated with reference to the increase in the Sasol Limited share price between the offer date of share appreciation rights to exercise of such vested rights.

No shares are issued in terms of this scheme and all amounts payable in terms of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme are settled in cash.

Rights are granted for a period of nine years and vest as follows:

2 years - 1st third

4 years - 2nd third

6 years - final third

The offer price of these appreciation rights equals the closing market price of the underlying shares on the trading day immediately preceding the granting of the right. The fair value of the cash settled liability is calculated at each reporting date.

On resignation, share appreciation rights which have not yet vested will lapse and share appreciation rights which have vested may be exercised at the employee’s election before their last day of service. Payment on appreciation rights forfeited will therefore not be required.  On death, retirement or retrenchment all appreciation rights vest immediately and the deceased estate or the employee has a period of twelve months to exercise these rights.

It is group policy that employees should not deal in Sasol Limited securities (and this is extended to the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights) for the periods from 1 January for half year end and 1 July for year end until 2 days after publication of the results and at any other time during which they have access to price sensitive information.

47.3.2 Share Appreciation Rights with corporate performance targets

During September 2009, the group introduced the Sasol Medium-term Incentive Scheme (refer note 47.4). Eligible members of senior management qualified for share appreciation rights that contain corporate performance targets. The corporate performance targets for FY14 are linked to the total shareholders’ return relative to the JSE Resources 10 index and the MSCI energy index, Sasol earnings growth and Sasol production volumes/employee growth. The corporate performance targets determine how many shares will vest. With the introduction of the Medium-term Incentive Scheme in 2009, the share appreciation rights were phased out over a period of 3 years.

No shares are issued in terms of this scheme and all amounts payable in terms of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme will be settled in cash.

Share appreciation rights with previously approved corporate performance targets are granted for a period of nine years and vest as follows:

2 years - 1st third

4 years - 2nd third

6 years - final third

The vesting period of these rights are the same as the share appreciation rights with no corporate performance targets.

During September 2012, the group introduced share appreciation rights with new corporate performance targets. The rights are granted for a period of nine years and vest as follows:

3 years - 1st third

4 years - 2nd third

5 years - final third

The offer price of these appreciation rights equals the closing market price of the underlying shares on the trading day immediately preceding the granting of the right. The fair value of the cash settled liability is calculated at each reporting date.

On resignation, share appreciation rights which have not yet vested will lapse and share appreciation rights which have vested may be exercised at the employee’s election before their last day of service. Payment on rights forfeited will therefore not be required.  On death, all appreciation rights vest immediately and the deceased estate has a period of twelve months to exercise these rights. On retrenchment or retirement, all appreciation rights vest immediately and the employee has a period of twelve months to exercise these rights.

It is group policy that employees should not deal in Sasol Limited securities (and this is extended to the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights) for the periods from 1 January for half year end and 1 July for year end until 2 days after publication of the results and at any other time during which they have access to price sensitive information.

47.4 THE SASOL LONG-TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME

During September 2009, the group introduced the Sasol Long-term Incentive Scheme (LTI). The objective of the LTI Scheme is to provide qualifying employees the opportunity of receiving incentive payments based on the value of Sasol ordinary shares in Sasol Limited. The LTI Scheme allows certain senior employees to earn a long-term incentive amount in addition to the Share Appreciation Rights Scheme, which is linked to certain corporate performance targets. These corporate performance targets are based on the total shareholders’ return versus the JSE Resources 10 index and the MSCI World Energy Index, Sasol earnings growth and Sasol production volumes/employee growth. Allocations of the LTI are linked to the performance of both the group and the individual. The LTI is also intended to complement existing incentive arrangements, to retain and motivate key employees and to attract new key employees.

Vesting conditions

Rights are granted for a period of three years and vest at the end of the third year. The LTIs are automatically encashed at the end of the third year.

On resignation, LTIs which have not yet vested will lapse. Payment on LTIs forfeited will therefore not be required.  On death, the LTIs vest immediately and the amount to be paid out to the deceased estate is calculated to the extent that the corporate performance targets are anticipated to be met.  On retirement and retrenchment the LTIs vest immediately and the amount to be paid out is calculated to the extent that the corporate performance targets are anticipated to be met and is paid within forty days from the date of termination.

No shares are issued in terms of this scheme and all amounts payable in terms of the Sasol Long-term Incentive Scheme will be settled in cash. The LTI carries no issue price. The fair value of the cash settled liability is calculated at each reporting date.

*The offer price of the LTIs is equal to zero.

**The unrecognised share-based payment expense related to LTIs, expected to be recognised over a weighted average period of 0,99 years, amounted to R1 595 million at 30 June 2014 (2013 - R1 015 million; 2012 - R370 million).

The share-based payment expense is calculated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model based on the following assumptions at 30 June:

		2014	2013	2012
Risk free interest rate	(%)	6,82 - 8,17	6,50 - 7,83	6,09 - 7,15
Expected volatility	(%)	19,94	23,72	24,13
Expected dividend yield	(%)	3,93	4,43	5,11
Expected forfeiture rate	(%)	5,00	5,00	5,00

The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the rights is based on the South African government bonds in effect at the time of the valuation of the grant.

The expected volatility in the value of the rights granted is determined using the historical volatility of the Sasol share price.

The expected dividend yield of the rights granted is determined using the historical dividend yield of the Sasol ordinary shares.

The valuation of the share-based payment expense requires a significant degree of judgement to be applied by management.

Acquisitions in 2014

In September 2013, Sasol acquired the remaining 60% shareholding in Wesco China, for a purchase consideration of R519 million (US$52 million). The pre-existing interest in the associate at acquisition date was remeasured to fair value and a resulting gain of R110 million was recognised in the income statement.

In the nine months to 30 June 2014, Wesco contributed turnover of R1 640 million and profit of R8 million to the group’s results. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2013, management estimates that the group’s consolidated turnover would have been R203 379 million and operating profit after remeasurement items for the year would have been R41 692 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments, that arose at acquisition date would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2013.

Acquisitions in 2013

In December 2012, Sasol acquired the remaining 50% interest in the Merisol joint venture from Merichem Company, to increase its shareholding to a 100% interest in Merisol.  The pre-existing interest in the joint venture at acquisition date was remeasured to fair value and a resulting gain of R233 million was recognised in the income statement (refer note 38).

In the six months to 30 June 2013, Merisol contributed turnover of R1 037 million and profit of R194 million to the group’s results. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2012, management estimates that the group’s consolidated turnover would have been R170 693 million and operating profit after remeasurement items for the year would have been R38 873 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments, that arose at acquisition date would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2012.

58.2 PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The group provides product warranties with respect to certain products sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. These warranties typically provide that products sold will conform to specifications. The group generally does not establish a liability for product warranty based on a percentage of turnover or other formula. The group accrues a warranty liability on a transaction-specific basis depending on the individual facts and circumstances related to each sale. Both the liability and the annual expense related to product warranties are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

58.3  OTHER CONTINGENCIES

Subsidiaries

Sasol Limited has guaranteed the fulfilment of various subsidiaries’ obligations in terms of contractual agreements.

The group has guaranteed the borrowing facilities and banking arrangements of certain of its subsidiaries.

Mineral rights

As a result of the promulgation of legislation in South Africa, the common law (mineral rights) and associated statutory competencies of Sasol Mining have been converted to interim statutory rights (Old Order Rights). Sasol Mining is entitled to convert these Old Order Rights to statutory mining and prospecting rights (New Order Rights) after complying with certain statutory requirements. As at 30 June 2013, all applications to acquire prospecting and mining rights were granted by the Department of Minerals Resources (DMR). These rights cover all the prospecting rights in the Free State and Waterberg as well as the prospecting and mining rights in Secunda. No value has been attributed to these rights in the annual financial statements.

Legal costs

Legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

58.4 LITIGATION

Sasol Nitro

In 2004, the South African Competition Commission (the Commission) commenced with investigations against Sasol Nitro, a division of Sasol Chemical Industries (Proprietary) Limited (SCI), based on complaints levelled against Sasol Nitro by two of its customers, Nutri-Flo and Profert. Both complaints were subsequently referred to the Competition Tribunal (the Tribunal) by the Commission. In May 2009, SCI and the Commission concluded a settlement agreement. In the agreement Sasol Nitro acknowledged that, in the period from 1996 to 2005, it had contravened the Competition Act by fixing prices of certain fertilisers with its competitors, by agreeing with its competitors on the allocation of customers and suppliers and by collusively tendering for supply contracts. Sasol Nitro subsequently paid an administrative penalty of R250,7 million.

Civil claims and law suits totalling approximately R52 million have been instituted against Sasol arising from the admissions made in the settlement agreement. Sasol views the calculation of alleged damages by the plaintiffs as flawed. Sasol is working with an economist on assessing its position regarding any potential damages caused. Sasol’s expert economist analysis has not been finalised yet. Therefore, it is currently not possible to make an estimate of a contingent liability and accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2014. The period for filing civil claims prescribed on 20 May 2012, therefore no additional claims may be filed against Sasol arising from the admitted contraventions.

Sasol Chemical Industries — complaint referral by Omnia

On 31 August 2011, Omnia Group (Pty) Ltd (Omnia) submitted a complaint against SCI to the Commission. The complaint alleged, among other things, excessive pricing for ammonia and price discrimination in respect of ammonia.

On 7 March 2012, the Commission issued a notice of non-referral in respect of the complaint on the grounds that the conduct complained of was substantially the same as the conduct in respect of which the Commission had concluded a settlement agreement with Sasol in July 2010.

On 5 April 2012, Omnia themselves referred the complaint to the Tribunal. Omnia alleges that SCI charged Omnia an excessive price for ammonia during the period from May 2006 to December 2008 and that SCI has prevented Omnia from expanding within the markets for the supply of certain fertilisers during this period and that SCI had engaged in prohibited price discrimination in respect of ammonia.

SCI does not agree with the allegations made and is defending the matter. The allegations made are substantially similar to allegations in a civil claim for damages made by Omnia in 2009, which SCI is also defending in arbitration proceedings. It has been agreed that Omnia will argue its case before the Tribunal from 1 — 12 December 2014 and SCI will thereafter present its case to the Tribunal from 16 February to 6 March 2015.

It is currently not possible to make an estimate of a contingent liability from the claim and, accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2014.

Sasol Wax

On 1 October 2008, following an investigation by the European Commission, the European Union found that members of the European paraffin wax industry, including Sasol Wax GmbH, formed a cartel and violated antitrust laws.

A fine of €318,2 million was imposed by the European Commission on Sasol Wax GmbH (of which Sasol Wax International AG, Sasol Holding in Germany GmbH and Sasol Limited would be jointly and severally liable for €250 million). According to the decision of the European Commission, an infringement of antitrust laws commenced in 1992 or even earlier. In 1995, Sasol became a co-shareholder in an existing wax business located in Hamburg, Germany owned by the Schümann group. In July 2002, Sasol acquired the remaining shares in the joint venture and became the sole shareholder of the business. Sasol was unaware of these infringements before the European Commission commenced their investigation at the wax business in Hamburg in April 2005.

On 15 December 2008, all Sasol companies affected by the decision lodged an appeal with the European Union’s General Court against the decision of the European Commission on the basis that the fine is excessive and should be reduced. On 3 July 2013, the hearing at the Court in Luxemburg took place.

On 11 July 2014, the European Union’s General Court reduced the fine by an amount of EUR 168,22 million to EUR 149,98 million. The European Commission has the right to appeal the decision. The effect of the reduced fine has been accounted for in the income statement for the period ending 30 June 2014.

As a result of the fine imposed on Sasol Wax GmbH, on 23 September 2011, Sasol Wax GmbH has been served with a law suit in The Netherlands by a company to which potential claims for compensation of damages have been assigned to by eight customers. The law suit does not demand a specific amount. The hearing will take place on 3 November 2014 at court in The Hague.  It is currently not possible to make an estimate of a contingent liability from the claim and, accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2014.

Sasol Limited group

Notes to the financial statements

Sasol Polymers

As reported previously, the Commission alleges that SCI charged excessive prices for propylene and polypropylene in the South African market from 2004 to 2007. SCI disputes the Commission’s allegations. In 2010, the matter was referred by the Commission to the Tribunal. SCI defended the matter and the matter was fully heard before the Tribunal during 2013. Both parties presented their closing arguments to the Tribunal in October 2013.

On 5 June 2014, the Tribunal released its decision in respect of Sasol Polymers’ pricing of propylene and polypropylene.  In its decision, the Tribunal made a finding against SCI in relation to its pricing of both polypropylene and propylene, for the period in question. In respect of purified propylene, the Tribunal has imposed an administrative penalty of R205,2 million. In respect of polypropylene, the Tribunal has imposed a penalty of R328,8 million. In addition, the Tribunal also ordered revised future pricing of polypropylene and propylene.

On 27 June 2014, SCI filed an appeal against the decision of the Competition Tribunal with the South African Competition Appeal Court. SCI has recognised a provision for the fine of R534 million at 30 June 2014. The outcome of the appeal process cannot be predicted.

On 11 July 2014 the Commission delivered a Notice of Cross-Appeal in which it has requested the Competition Appeal Court to increase the administrative penalties imposed on SCI to R1 094 million for propylene, and R 1 754 million for polypropylene.

In a letter received from the Commission, dated 30 July 2012,   Sasol was advised that the Commission had initiated a new abuse of dominance complaint against Sasol Limited, Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd, Sasol Synfuels (Pty) Ltd and SCI.  This new complaint is based on a complaint which was initially submitted to the Commission by Safripol in November 2011.

The initial Safripol complaint alleged that SCI had contravened various sections of the Act with regard to the pricing and supply of propylene and ethylene. Safripol subsequently withdrew the complaint.

The Commission, however, decided to continue with its investigation into the matter. The allegations under investigation are excessive pricing of propylene and ethylene required by Safripol, constructive refusal to supply scarce goods (namely propylene and ethylene), margin squeeze in respect of the supply of propylene and polypropylene and price discrimination in relation to the sale of propylene and ethylene. These are all abuse of dominance allegations. The period of the investigation is from 2008 to 30 July 2012. Sasol continues to defend itself against these allegations. The outcome of this matter cannot be estimated at this point in time and accordingly, no additional provision was recognised at 30 June 2014.

Sasol Oil - Commercial diesel

On 24 October 2012, the Commission referred allegations of price-fixing and market division against Chevron SA, Engen, Shell SA, Total SA, Sasol Limited, BP SA and the South African Petroleum Industry Association (“SAPIA”) to the Competition Tribunal for adjudication. The Commission is alleging that the respondents exchanged commercially sensitive information, mainly through SAPIA, in order to ensure that their respective prices for commercial diesel followed the Wholesale List Selling Price published by the Department of Energy.

This is not a new matter and Sasol began engaging with the Commission in this regard in 2008 as part of its group-wide competition law compliance review, which preceded the Commission’s investigation into the liquid fuels sector. Sasol has reviewed the Commission’s referral documents and does not agree with the Commission’s allegations. Accordingly, Sasol is assessing the legal options available to it.  The outcome of this referral cannot be estimated at this point in time and, accordingly, no provision was recognised at 30 June 2014.

Other

From time to time Sasol companies are involved in other litigation and similar proceedings in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the company does not believe that the outcome of any of these cases would have a material effect on the group’s financial results.

58.5 COMPETITION MATTERS

We continue to evaluate and enhance our compliance programmes and controls in general, and our competition law compliance programme and controls, in particular. As a consequence of these programmes and controls, including monitoring and review activities, we have also adopted appropriate remedial and/or mitigating steps, and made disclosures on material findings, as and when appropriate.

The South African Competition Commission (the Commission) is conducting investigations into several industries in which Sasol operates, including the petroleum and polymer industries and has initiated a market inquiry in the South African LPG market. We continue to cooperate with the Commission in these investigations. To the extent appropriate, further announcements will be made in future.

58.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Sasol is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to numerous national and local environmental laws and regulations that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and that may require Sasol to remediate or rehabilitate the effects of its operations on the environment. The contingencies may exist at a number of sites, including, but not limited to, sites where action has been taken to remediate soil and groundwater contamination. These future costs are not fully determinable due to factors such as the unknown extent of possible contamination, uncertainty regarding the timing and extent of remediation actions that may be required, the allocation of the environmental obligation among multiple parties, the discretion of regulators and changing legal requirements.

Sasol’s environmental obligation accrued at 30 June 2014 was R11 013 million compared to R9 831 million at 30 June 2013. Included in this balance is an amount accrued of approximately R4 397 million in respect of the costs of remediation of soil and groundwater contamination and similar environmental costs. These costs relate to the following activities: site assessments, soil and groundwater clean-up and remediation, and ongoing monitoring. Due to uncertainties regarding future costs the potential loss in excess of the amount accrued cannot be reasonably determined.

Although Sasol has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, the amount of additional future costs relating to remediation and rehabilitation may be material to results of operations in the period in which they are recognised. It is not expected that these environmental obligations will have a material effect on the financial position of the group.

As with the oil and gas and chemical industries generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental, health, safety and process safety laws and regulations increases the overall cost of business, including capital costs to construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. These laws and regulations have required, and are expected to continue to require, the group to make significant expenditures of both a capital and expense nature.

South Africa

In South Africa, the environmental regulatory legal framework is still evolving, as is the enforcement process. We work with government authorities in striving to find a balance between economic development and, social and environmental considerations. Recent changes in government resulted in the alignment of departments governing environmental matters. South Africa is considered as a developing country in terms of the Kyoto Protocol under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and is committed to emission reduction pledges under the voluntary Copenhagen accord which is now incorporated in the National Climate Change Response White Paper.

Europe

Our European facilities are subject to extensive environmental regulation in the various countries in which we operate. For example: The European Union Chemicals Regulation for the registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals (REACH) (1907/2006/EC) is intended to harmonise existing European and national regulations to provide a better protection of human health and our environment against the harmful effects of hazardous substances and preparations. Sasol has registered a significant amount of chemical products and will ensure that we continue to comply with the ongoing requirements of REACH.

The countries within which we operate in Europe have all ratified the Kyoto Protocol and we have developed a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) strategy to comply with applicable GHG restrictions and to manage emission reductions cost effectively.

United States

Sasol North America (Sasol NA), Sasol Wax and Merisol are subject to numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of human health and the environment.

Environmental compliance expenditures for our interest in Sasol NA, Sasol Wax and Merisol’s manufacturing sites for the next five years are estimated to range from US$2 million to US$6 million per year.

Sasol Limited group

64 Financial risk management and financial instruments

Introduction

The group is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks.  The group executive committee (GEC) has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the group’s risk management framework. The GEC established the risk and safety, health and environment committee, which is responsible for providing the board with the assurance that significant business risks are systematically identified, assessed and reduced to acceptable levels. A comprehensive risk management process has been developed to continuously monitor and control these risks. The Sasol group has a central treasury function that manages the financial risks relating to the group’s operations. The board of Sasol Financing (the treasury company and a 100% subsidiary of Sasol Ltd), meets regularly to review and, if appropriate, approve the implementation of optimal strategies for the effective management of financial risks.  The committee reports on a regular basis to the GEC on its activities.

Capital risk management

The group’s objectives when managing capital (which includes share capital, borrowings, working capital and cash and cash equivalents) is to maintain a flexible capital structure that reduces the cost of capital to an acceptable level of risk and to safeguard the group’s ability to continue as a going concern while taking advantage of strategic opportunities in order to grow shareholder value sustainably.

The group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, repurchase shares currently issued, issue new shares, issue new debt, issue new debt to replace existing debt with different characteristics and/or sell assets to reduce debt.

The group monitors capital utilising a number of measures, including the gearing ratio. The gearing ratio is calculated as net borrowings (total borrowings less cash) divided by shareholders’ equity. The group’s targeted gearing ratio is 20% — 40%. The gearing level takes into account the group’s substantial capital investment and susceptibility to external market factors such as crude oil prices, exchange rates and commodity chemical prices. The group’s gearing level for 2014 is (6,3)% (2013 - (1,1%); 2012 - 0,3%). The gearing ratio is expected to return to the targeted range as the capital expansion programme progresses in the medium- to long-term horizon.

Financing risk

Financing risk refers to the risk that financing of the group’s capital requirements and refinancing of existing borrowings could become more difficult or more costly in the future. This risk can be decreased by achieving the targeted gearing ratio, ensuring that maturity dates are evenly distributed over time, and that total short-term borrowings do not exceed liquidity levels.

The group’s target for long-term borrowings include an average time to maturity of at least 2 years, and an even spread of maturities.

Credit rating

To achieve and keep an efficient capital structure, the group aims to maintain a stable long-term credit rating.

Risk profile

Risk management and measurement relating to each of these risks is discussed under the headings below (subcategorised into credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk) which entails an analysis of the types of risk exposure, the way in which such exposure is managed and quantification of the level of exposure in the statement of financial position. The group’s objective in using derivative instruments is for hedging purposes to reduce the uncertainty over future cash flows arising from foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risk exposures.

a)  Credit risk

Credit risk, or the risk of financial loss due to counterparties not meeting their contractual obligations, is managed by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Where appropriate, the group obtains security in the form of guarantees to mitigate risk. Counterparty credit limits are in place and are reviewed and approved by the respective subsidiary credit management committees. The central treasury function provides credit risk management for the group-wide exposure in respect of a diversified group of banks and other financial institutions. These are evaluated regularly for financial robustness especially in the current global economic environment. Management has evaluated treasury counterparty risk and does not expect any treasury counterparties to fail in meeting their obligations.

Trade and other receivables consist of a large number of customers spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. The exposure to credit risk is influenced by the individual characteristics, the industry and geographical area of the counterparty with whom we have transacted. Trade and other receivables are carefully monitored for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade receivables is made where there is an identified loss event, which based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. Details of the credit quality of trade receivables and the associated provision for impairment is disclosed in note 14.

No single customer represents more than 10% of the group’s total turnover or more than 10% of total trade receivables for the years ended 30 June 2014, 2013 and 2012. Approximately 52% (2013 - 49%; 2012 - 50%) of the group’s total turnover is generated from sales within South Africa, while about 21% (2013 - 22%; 2012 - 23%) relates to European sales. Approximately 51% (2013 - 49%; 2012 - 48%) of the amount owing in respect of trade receivables is from counterparties in South Africa, while European receivables amount to about 24% (2013 - 26%; 2012 - 24%).

Credit risk exposure in respect of long-term receivables and trade receivables is further analysed in notes 10 and 14, respectively. The carrying value represents the maximum credit risk exposure.

The group has provided guarantees for the financial obligations of subsidiaries, joint-ventures and third parties. The outstanding guarantees at 30 June 2014 are provided in note 58.1.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity in the group will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due. The group manages liquidity risk by effectively managing its working capital, capital expenditure and cash flows, making use of a central treasury function to manage pooled business unit cash investments and borrowing requirements. Currently the group is maintaining a positive cash position, conserving the group’s cash resources through renewed focus on working capital improvement and capital reprioritisation. The group meets its financing requirements through a mixture of cash generated from its operations and, short- and long-term borrowings. Adequate banking facilities and reserve borrowing capacities are maintained. The Sasol group is in compliance with all of the financial covenants per its loan agreements, none of which is expected to present a material restriction on funding or its investment policy in the near future.  The group has sufficient undrawn borrowing facilities, which could be utilised to settle obligations.

The maturity profile of the contractual cash flows of financial instruments at 30 June were as follows:

* Where a derivative is linked to an index, the amount payable or receivable has been based on the estimated forward exchange rates at the settlement date. Foreign exchange contracts and cross currency swaps are settled on a gross basis, while all other derivatives are net settled. For gross settled derivatives, the cash outflow has been included in financial liabilities, while the cash inflow is included in financial assets.

(1) These investments has been added to our liquidity analysis as it reflects the way the business is managed.

(2) Issued financial guarantees contracts are all repayable on demand, however the likelihood of default is considered remote. Refer to note 58.

Cash flow hedges

In certain cases, the group classifies its forward foreign currency contracts hedging highly probable forecast transactions as cash flow hedges. Where this designation is documented, changes in fair value are recognised in equity until the hedged transactions occur, at which time the respective gains or losses are transferred to the income statement (or hedged item on the statement of financial position) in accordance with the group’s accounting policy.

The expected future timing of the recycling of derivatives used for hedging on the income statement at 30 June were as follows:

c)  Market risk

Market risk is the risk arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future cash flows of the business. The market price movements that the group is exposed to include foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and oil and natural gas prices (commodity price risk). The group has developed policies aimed at managing the volatility inherent in these exposures which are discussed in the risks below.

1)  Foreign currency risk

The group’s transactions are predominantly entered into in the respective functional currency of the individual operations.  However, the group’s operations utilise various foreign currencies on sales, purchases and borrowings and consequently, are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations that have an impact on cash flows and financing activities.  These operations are exposed to foreign currency risk in connection with contracted payments in currencies not in their individual functional currency.  The translation of foreign operations to the presentation currency of the group is not taken into account when considering foreign currency risk.  Foreign currency risks are managed through the group’s financing policies and the selective use of forward exchange contracts, cross currency swaps and cross currency options.

Changes in the foreign exchange rates also affect the group’s income in connection with the translation of the income statements of foreign subsidiaries in South African Rand.  Sasol does not hedge such exposure.  The translation exposures arising from income statements of foreign subsidiaries are included in the analysis mentioned below.

Our group executive committee (GEC) sets broad guidelines in terms of tenor and hedge cover ratios specifically to assess large forward cover amounts for long periods into the future, which have the potential to materially affect our financial position. These guidelines and our hedging policy are reviewed from time to time. This hedging strategy enables us to better predict cash flows and thus manage our working capital and debt more effectively. It is noted that we do not hedge foreign currency receipts.

The following significant exchange rates were applied during the year:

	Average rate		Closing rate
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Rand / Euro	14,10	11,46	14,57	12,85
Rand / US dollar	10,39	8,85	10,64	9,88
Rand / Pound sterling	16,91	13,88	18,20	15,03

The table below shows the currency exposure where entities within the group have monetary assets or liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the group. The amounts have been presented in rand by converting the foreign currency amount at the closing rate at the reporting date.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is provided to show the foreign currency exposure of the group at the end of the reporting period. This analysis is prepared based on the statement of financial position balances, that exist at year end, for which there is currency risk.  The expected effect on the income statement and equity is calculated based on the net balance sheet exposure at the end of the reporting period, after taking into account forward exchange contracts which exist at that point. This sensitivity represents the exposure of the group at a point in time, based only on recognised balances for which currency risk has been identified.

A 10% change in the group’s exposure to foreign currency at 30 June would have increased / (decreased) either the equity or the profit by the amounts below before the effect of tax. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular, interest rates, remain constant, and has been performed on the same basis for 2013.

	2014				2013
	Equity		Income statement		Equity		Income statement
	Rm		Rm		Rm		Rm
Euro	945		945		745		745
US Dollar	1 383		1 383		726		726
Pound Sterling	(23	)	(23	)	38		38
Rand	(23	)	(23	)	(6	)	(6	)
Other currencies	—		—		279		279

A 10% movement in the opposite direction in the group’s exposure to foreign currency would have an equal and opposite effect to the amounts disclosed above.

The majority of these balances will also be exposed to a change in the rand, as compared to the various currencies used in the group.

The translation of these balances into the presentation currency of the group will have an effect on equity, and the sensitivity analysis of this exposure is presented below.

A 10% strengthening of the rand on the group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at 30 June would have increased / (decreased) either equity or profit of the group by the amounts below before the effect of tax. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular, interest rates, and cross currency foreign exchange rates remain constant. The same basis has been used for 2013.

	2014				2013
	Equity		Income statement		Equity	Income statement
	Rm		Rm		Rm	Rm
Euro	350		7		468	51
US dollar	1 227		(134	)	843	48
Pound sterling	(35	)	37		15	11
Rand	27		—		32	—
Other currencies	51		906		258	1 806

A 10 percent weakening in the rand against the above currencies at 30 June would have the equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Forward exchange contracts and cross currency swaps

All forward exchange contracts are supported by underlying commitments or transactions, including those which have not been contracted for.

The fair value (losses) / gains calculated below were determined by recalculating the daily forward rates for each currency using a forward rate interpolator model. The net market value of all forward exchange contracts at year end is calculated by comparing the forward exchange contracted rates to the equivalent year end market foreign exchange rates. The present value of these net market values are then calculated using the appropriate currency specific discount curve.

The following forward exchange contracts and cross currency swaps were held at 30 June:

	Contract foreign currency amount	Contract amount - Rand equivalent	Average rate of exchange	Fair value (losses) / gains		Contract foreign currency amount	Contract amount - Rand equivalent	Average rate of exchange	Fair value (losses) / gains

2)  Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of short-term investments and financing activities, giving rise to interest rate risk. The group has significant exposure to interest rate risk due to the volatility in South African, European and US interest rates.

The group’s policy is to borrow funds at floating rates of interest as this is considered to give somewhat of a natural hedge against commodity price movements, given the correlation with economic growth (and industrial activity) which in turn shows a high correlation with commodity price fluctuation. In certain circumstances, the group uses interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.

The debt of the group is structured on a combination of floating and fixed interest rates. The benefits of fixing or capping interest rates on the group’s various financing activities are considered on a case-by-case and project-by-project basis, taking the specific and overall risk profile into consideration. For further details on long-term debt refer note 18 and note 10 for long-term receivables.

In respect of financial assets, the group’s policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest and cash reserves are to be maintained in short-term investments (less than one year) in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

	Carrying value
	2014		2013
	Rm		Rm
Variable rate instruments
Financial assets	38 466		31 090
Financial liabilities	(10 805	)	(8 654	)
	27 661		22 436
Fixed rate instruments
Financial assets	1 350		434
Financial liabilities	(15 025	)	(14 209	)
	(13 675	)	(13 775	)
Interest profile (variable: fixed rate as a percentage of total interest bearing instruments)	75:25		73:27

Cash flow sensitivity for variable rate instruments

Financial instruments affected by interest rate risk include borrowings, deposits, derivative financial instruments, trade receivables and trade payables. A change of one percent in the  prevailing interest rate in that region at the reporting date would have increased /(decreased) the income statement by the amounts shown below before the effect of tax. The sensitivity analysis has been prepared on the basis that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant and has been performed on the same basis for 2013.

	Income statement - 1% increase
	South Africa		Europe		USA		Other
	Rm		Rm		Rm		Rm
30 June 2014	(29	)	(26	)	(148	)	(109	)

	Rm	Rm	Rm	Rm
30 June 2014	29	—	—	—
30 June 2013	42	—	—	—

A one percent decrease in these interest rates at 30 June would have the equal but opposite effect for Rand exposure.

*A decrease of 1% in interest rates for the United States of America and Europe will not have an effect on the income statement as it is not reasonably possible that the repo interest rates will decrease below 0%.

3)  Commodity price risk

The group makes use of derivative instruments, including commodity swaps, options and futures contracts of short duration as a means of mitigating price and timing risks on crude oil purchases and sales. In effecting these transactions, the business units concerned operate within procedures and policies designed to ensure that risks, including those relating to the default of counterparties, are minimised.

In 2011, the group entered into a zero cost collar for approximately 30% of Sasol Synfuels’ production and 30% of Sasol Petroleum International’s West African output for the final quarter of 2011. The zero cost collar expired on 15 June 2011. The hedge provided downside protection should the monthly average dated Brent crude oil price have decreased below US$85 per barrel on the hedged portion of production. Conversely, Sasol will have incurred opportunity losses on the hedged portion of production should the monthly average oil price have exceeded a volume weighted average of US$172,77 per barrel. Together with the group’s other risk mitigation initiatives, such as cost containment, cash conservation and capital prioritisation, the group’s hedging strategy is considered in conjunction with these initiatives. The situation is monitored regularly to assess the appropriateness of oil price hedging to improve the stability and predictability of cash flows as part of Sasol’s risk management activities. For the 2012, 2013 and 2014 financial years, Sasol did not hedge as in the past as we did not consider there to have been value in the zero cost collars available in the market at this time. The situation is monitored regularly to assess when a suitable time might be to enter into an appropriate hedge again in the future

Sensitivity analysis

We continue to remain more cautious on the short-term outlook and believe that we could see prices stabilising in the medium-term. Our view is that in the next five years, crude oil prices will settle around US$109,00/b, however, in the longer term, we expect the crude oil price to increase. For forecasting purposes, we estimate that for every US$1/b increase in the annual average crude oil price, group operating profit and equity accounted earnings for the year will increase by approximately US$70 million (R746 million) during 2015. This estimate is off a base of US$105,50/b crude oil price and a rand/US dollar exchange rate of R10,60. It should be noted that in the volatile environment that we are currently experiencing, these sensitivities could be materially different depending on the crude oil price, exchange rates, product prices and volumes.

A 10 percent increase of the commodity prices at 30 June would have increased the fair value of commodity derivatives recognised in other operating costs in the income statement by the amounts shown below, before the effect of tax.  This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and should not be considered predictive of future performances. The calculation has been performed on the same basis for 2013.

	2014		2013
	Rm		Rm
Crude oil	(9	)	1

A 10 percent decrease in the commodity prices at 30 June would have the equal but opposite effect on the fair value amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

* The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value, due to their short term nature.

** These investments are held in equity instruments which do not have quoted prices, as they are not listed on an exchange. Fair value therefore cannot be measured reliably. As a result, these instruments are held at cost.

The fair value of financial instruments reflects the amount that could be obtained to sell an asset or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

The fair value of both long term and short term financial assets is calculated with reference to market inputs, including exchange rates and commodity prices.

Fair Value

Valuation techniques and assumptions utilised for the purpose of calculating fair value

The group does not hold any financial instruments traded in an active market, except for the investment in listed equity instruments.

Fair value is determined using  valuation techniques as outlined below. Where possible, inputs are based on quoted prices and other market determined variables.

Fair Value hierarchy

The following table is provided representing the assets and liabilities measured at fair value at reporting date, or for which fair value is disclosed at reporting date.

The calculation of fair value requires various inputs into the valuation methodologies used.

The source of the inputs used affects the reliability and accuracy of the valuations. Significant inputs have been classified into the hierarchical levels in line with IFRS 13, as shown below.

There have been no transfers between levels in the current year. Transfers between levels are considered to have occurred at the date of the event or change in circumstances.

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (directly or indirectly).
Level 3	Inputs for the asset or liability that are unobservable.
