The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e., the magnitude of the loss if there is default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability given default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by relevant forward-looking information. The exposure at default is represented by the asset’s gross carrying amount at the reporting date.

The Company considers a default to have occurred when a receivable is more than 90 days past due or information determined internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the customer is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Company, in full. Amounts provided for are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering the amount, in accordance with the Company’s write-off policy.

Overview of the Company’s exposure to credit risk from customers

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the gross carrying value of each receivable and loan to external parties. As of March 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company has no significant concentration of credit risk, due to its spread of customers across various operations and geographical locations.

The Company does not hold any collateral as security.

During fiscal year 2023, the Company terminated the suretyship securing its indebtedness to Standard Bank of South Africa Limited and a new agreement was entered into. Refer to note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.
