(1) – the foreign currency adjustment represents the effects of the fluctuations between the South African rand and the South Korean won, and the US dollar on the carrying value.

Goodwill associated with the acquisition of N1MS and SmartSwitch Botswana represents the excess of cost over the fair value of acquired net assets. The N1MS and SmartSwitch Botswana goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 3 for the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of acquired net assets. N1MS has been allocated to the Company's South African transaction processing operating segment and SmartSwitch Botswana to the International transaction processing operating segment.

The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, whenever events occur and circumstances change indicating potential impairment. The Company performs its annual impairment test as at June 30 of each year. The results of our impairment tests during the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, indicated that the fair value of the Company's reporting units exceeded their carrying values and therefore the Company's reporting units were not at risk of potential impairment.

The Company changed its reportable segments during June 2014 (refer to Note 23). Goodwill has been allocated to the Company's reportable segments as follows:


		2014		2013

South African transaction processing	$	28,517	$	30,525
International transaction processing		128,427		113,972
Financial inclusion and applied technologies		29,632		31,309
Total	$	186,576	$	175,806
