NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2010

1 CoRPoRAte INFoRMAtIoN

Airports Company south Africa Limited is a company domiciled

in south Africa. the address of the Company’s registered office

is:the Maples, Riverwoods office Park, 24 Johnson Road, Bedfordview.

the financial statements of the Company for the year ended

31 March 2010 comprise those of the Company and its

subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’ and individually

as ‘Group entities’) and the Group’s interest in jointly controlled

and associated entities. the Group is primarily involved in the

acquisition, development, provision, maintenance, management

and operation of airports or parts of airports or any facilities

or services that are normally performed at an airport. other

operations in the Group mainly comprise hotel operations.

2 BAsIs oF PRePARAtIoN

the financial statements have been prepared in accordance

with International Financial Reporting standards (IFRs) and its

interpretations issued by the International Accounting standards

Board (IAsB) as well as the requirements of the south African

Companies Act and the requirements of the Public Finance

Management Act (Act 1 of 1999, as amended).

2.1 Basis of measurement

the financial statements have been prepared on the historical

cost basis, except for investment property and certain financial

instruments that are carried at fair value.

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

these financial statements are presented in south African Rand,

which is the Group’s functional currency. All financial information

presented in Rand has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently

to all periods presented in these financial statements, and have

been applied consistently by Group entities.

3 sUMMARY oF sIGNIFICANt ACCoUNtING PoLICIes

3.1 Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities)

over which the Group has the power to govern the financial

and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding

of more than half of the voting rights. the existence and effect

of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or

convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group

controls another entity. subsidiaries are fully consolidated from

the date on which control is transferred to the Group. they are no

longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.

the purchase method of accounting is used to account for the

acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. the cost of an acquisition

is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments

issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange,

plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable

assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in

a business combination are measured initially at their fair values

at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority

interest. the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value

of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is

recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair

value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is

recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

the Group’s investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, net of

accumulated impairment losses.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant

influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding

of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments

in associates are accounted for using the equity method of

accounting and are initially recognised at cost.

the Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits

or losses is recognised in the statement of comprehensive

income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves

is recognised in reserves. the cumulative post-acquisition

movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the

investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate

equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other

unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further

losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on

behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its

associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest

in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless

the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset

transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed

where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted

by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in

associates are recognised in the statement of comprehensive

income.

Jointly controlled entities

A jointly controlled entity is a joint venture that involves the

establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity in

which each venturer has an interest. the entity operates in the

same way as other entities, except that a contractual arrangement

between the venturers establishes joint control over the economic

activity of the entity.

the Company’s investment in jointly controlled entities is carried

at cost, net of accumulated impairment losses.

the Group has an interest in a joint venture which is a jointly

controlled entity, whereby the venturers have a contractual

arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic

activities of the entity. the Group recognises its interests in

the joint venture using proportionate consolidation. the Group

combines its share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and

83

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)for the year ended 31 March 2010

3 sUMMARY oF sIGNIFICANt ACCoUNtING PoLICIes (continued) 3.1 Basis of consolidation (continued) expenses of the joint venture with similar line items, line by line,

in its consolidated financial statements. Adjustments are made in the Group’s financial statements to eliminate the Group’s share of unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its jointly controlled entity. Losses on transactions are recognised if the loss provided evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss. the joint venture is proportionately consolidated until the date on which the Group ceases to have joint control over the joint venture.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income

and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Transactions with non-controlling interests the Group applies a policy of treating transactions with non-

controlling interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to non-controlling interests result in gains and losses for the Group and are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income. Purchases from non-controlling interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.

3.2 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received

or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. the Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. the Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Rental income is recognised in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives are recognised as an integral part of rental income, over the term of the lease.

Revenue of the Group comprises the following:

Aeronautical revenue

Aeronautical revenue consists of the following:

Landing fees

Landing fees are determined by using regulated tariffs for aircraft landings based on the maximum take-off weight of landing aircrafts for each landing.

Passenger service charges

Passenger service charges are determined by using regulated

tariffs for each departing passenger at an airport of departure.

Aircraft parking

Aircraft parking fees are determined on regulated tariffs for each aircraft parked for over four hours based on the maximum take-off weight of aircraft parking per 24-hour period.

Commercial revenue

Commercial revenue consists of the following:

Advertising

Revenue is generated through the rental of advertising space to concessionaires. Rental income is normally based on the higher of a minimum guaranteed rental or a percentage of turnover.

Retail

Revenue is generated through the rental of retail space to concessionaires. Rental income is normally based on the greater of a percentage of turnover or a minimum monthly rental.

Parking

Revenue generated by providing short- and long-term parking facilities is determined on time-based tariffs.

Car hire

Revenue is generated from concession fees and the rental of space and kiosks to car hire companies.

Property rental

Revenue is generated through the rentals of offices, air lounges, aviation fuel depots, warehousing, logistics facilities, hotels and filling stations based on medium- to long-term rental agreements with tenants.

Hotel operations Revenue comprises the invoice value of accommodation and the

sale of food and beverages. Accommodation income is recognised in the financial statements at the date guests are invoiced.

Premiums received

Premiums received comprise the net gains on investments invested in an insurance cell captive.

Other

other revenue mainly consists of the recovery of electricity and water charges and fees charged for the issuing of permits.

3.3 other operating income other income is any income that accrued to the Group from

activities that are not part of the normal operations and is recognised as earned.

3.4 Finance income and expense Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested

and dividend income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit and loss on the date that the

Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit and loss using the effective interest method.

3 sUMMARY oF sIGNIFICANt ACCoUNtING PoLICIes (continued) 3.5 Leases Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit

and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. the finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the contingency no longer exists and the lease adjustment is known.

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased assets are measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to those assets.

other leases are operating leases not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position.

3.6 Foreign currency Foreign operations the assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill

and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Rand at closing rate. the income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to Rand at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCtR is transferred to profit and loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in equity in the FCtR.

Foreign currency transactions and balances transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective

functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. the foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortised cost of the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and

payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign

currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the

functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the

fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on

translation are recognised in profit and loss.

3.7 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,

construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets

that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for

their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets,

until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their

intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary

investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on

qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for

capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit and loss in the

period in which they are incurred.

3.8 employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a plan under which an entity pays

fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal

or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. obligations for

contributions to defined contribution pension plans and medical

aid schemes are recognised as an employee benefit expense

in profit and loss when they are due. Prepaid contributions are

recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a

reduction in future payments is available.

Other long-term employee benefits

the Group’s net obligation in respect of post-employment medical

benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have

earned in return for their services in the current and prior periods.

the benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the

fair value of any related assets is deducted. the discount rate

is determined by the actuarial assumptions that have maturity

terms approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. the

calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method.

the Group recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from

experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions

directly to equity in the statement of other comprehensive

income in the period in which they arise.

Short-term benefits

short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an

undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is

provided.

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under

short-term cash bonus or incentive scheme plans if the Group has

a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a

result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation

can be estimated reliably.

3.9 Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income

tax is recognised in the profit and loss except to the extent that

it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is

recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for

the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the

reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of

the previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method

by providing for temporary differences between the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes

and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not

recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial

recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not

a business combination and that affects neither accounting

nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in

subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that is

probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future and

the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled

by the Group. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for

taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition

of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is

expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they

reverse, based on laws that have been enacted or substantively

enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally

enforceable right to offset the liabilities and assets, and they

relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the

same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend

to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their

tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable

that future taxable profits will be available against which the

temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are

reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent

that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will

realise.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of

dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay

the related dividend is recognised.

3.10 Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less

accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the

acquisition of the asset. the cost of self-constructed assets

includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs

directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition

for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing

the items and restoring the site on which they are located.

Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the

related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

Borrowing costs related to the acquisition and construction of

qualifying assets are capitalised during the period of time required

to complete and prepare the property for its intended use, as part

of the cost of the asset.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment

(i.e. equipment, motor vehicles, roads, runways and aprons, and

buildings) have different useful lives, they are accounted for

as separate items (major components) of property, plant and

equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the

proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property,

plant and equipment and are recognised net within ‘other

operating income’ in profit and loss.

Reclassification to investment property

Property that is being constructed for future use as investment

property is accounted for as property, plant and equipment until

construction or development is complete, at which time it is

reclassified as investment property.

Subsequent costs

the cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and

equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it

is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within

the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured

reliably. the costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant

and equipment are recognised in profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in profit and loss on a straight-line basis

to reduce the cost of the assets to their residual values over the

estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant

and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter

of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably

certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the

lease term. Land is not depreciated.

the estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods

are as follows:

• equipment 3 – 12 years

• Motor vehicles 5 years

• Roads, runways and aprons 20 – 50 years

• Buildings 20 – 30 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are

re-assessed at each reporting date.

3.11 Investment property

Investment property is property which is held either to earn rental

income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in

the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply

of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment

property is carried at fair value, representing open market value

determined annually by accredited independent valuers. Fair

value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary,

for any difference in the nature, or location or condition of the

specific asset. If the information is not available, the Group uses

alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active

markets or discounted cash flow projections. Changes in fair

values are recorded in comprehensive income as part of other

income.

3.12 Intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise: computer software, development

costs of the enterprise Resource Planning system and other

information management systems. these intangible assets are

measured initially at cost and are carried at cost less accumulated

amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure

subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is

capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits

embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other

expenditure is expensed as incurred.

Amortisation

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their

estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever

there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available

for use. the amortisation period and the amortisation method for

an intangible asset are reviewed at each financial year-end.

the current estimated useful life is three to five years.

3.13 Impairment

Non-financial assets

the carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other

than investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets, are

reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is an

indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the

asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit

is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to

sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows

are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount

rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value

of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of

impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest

groups of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use

that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets

or groups of assets (the ‘cash-generating unit’). the goodwill

acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment

testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to

benefit from the synergies of the combination.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an

asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss. Impairment

losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated

first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to

the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other

assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine

whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A

financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence

indicates that one or more events had a negative effect on the

estimated future cash flows of that asset.

the criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is

objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

• A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in

payments

• It becomes probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or

other financial reorganisation

• observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease

in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial

assets since the initial recognition of those assets.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured

at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between the

carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future

cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment

on an individual basis. the remaining financial assets are assessed

collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related

objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss

was recognised. the reversal is recognised in profit and loss for

financial assets measured at amortised cost.

3.14 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable

value. the cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out

principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the

inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs

incurred in bringing them to their location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary

course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and

selling expenses.

3.15 Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments

in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash

and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other

payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at

fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit

and loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. subsequent

to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are

measured as described below.

Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in

note 3.4.

Held-to-maturity investments

If the Group has a positive intent and ability to hold debt securities

to maturity, then they are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-

maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

An instrument is classified at fair value through profit and loss

if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial

recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value

through profit and loss if the Group manages such investments

and makes purchases and sale decisions based on their fair value

in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management

or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition, attributable

transactions costs are recognised in profit and loss when incurred.

Financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss are

measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in

profit and loss.

Non-derivative financial instruments

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with

fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active

market. they are included in current assets, except for maturities

greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

these are classified as non-current assets. the Group’s loans and

receivables comprise ‘trade and other receivables’ and cash and

cash equivalents in the balance sheet.

Other

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortised cost.

other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any

impairment losses.

the effective Interest Rate method is a method of calculating

the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and

of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the

relevant period.

Derivative financial instruments

the Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its

foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. embedded

derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted

for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host

contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related, a

separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded

derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the

combined instrument is not measured at fair value through

profit and loss. Changes in the fair value of separable embedded

derivatives are recognised immediately in profit and loss.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable

transaction costs are recognised in profit and loss when incurred.

subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair

value, and changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss.

Economic hedges

Hedge accounting is not applied to derivative instruments that

economically hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated

in foreign currencies. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives

are recognised in profit and loss as part of fair value gains

and losses.

3.16 share capital

ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly

attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are

recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

3.17 Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the

Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be

estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic

benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are

determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a

pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time

value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

3.18 Related parties

ACsA’s related parties include entities directly or indirectly owned

by the south African Government.

Key management is defined as being individuals with the

authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling

the activities of the entity. the Group regards all individuals from

the level of Group executive up to the Board of Directors as key

management per the definition of the standard.

Close family members of key management personnel are

considered to be those family members who may be expected

to influence, or be influenced by key management individuals in

their dealings with the entity.

other related party transactions are also disclosed in terms of

the requirements of the standard. the objective of the standard

and the financial statements is to provide relevant and reliable

information and therefore materiality is considered in the

disclosure of these transactions.

3.19 operating segments

operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with

the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-

maker. the chief operating decision-maker has been identified as

the executive Committee that makes strategic decisions.

3.20 earnings per share

the Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (ePs)

data for its ordinary shares. Basic ePs is calculated by dividing

the profit and loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the

Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares

outstanding during the period. Diluted ePs is determined by

adjusting the profit and loss attributable to ordinary shareholders

and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding

for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which

comprises convertible bonds and share options granted to

employees.

3.21 Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets

held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered

principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered

highly probable. they are stated at the lower of carrying amount

and fair value, less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to

be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than

through continuing use.

3.22 Government grants

Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income

at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will

be received and the Group will comply with the conditions

associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for

expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income

on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses

are recognised. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of

an asset are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over

the useful life of the asset.

3.23 standards early adopted by the Group

IFRs 5 (amendment), ‘Disclosures required in respect of non-

current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or

discontinued operations’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

this amendment clarifies that IFRs 5, ‘Non-current assets held

for sale and discontinued operations’, specifies the disclosures

required in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups)

classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. It also

clarifies that the general requirements of IAs 1 still apply,

particularly paragraph 15 (to achieve a fair value presentation)

and paragraph 125 (sources of estimation uncertainty) of IAs 1.

3.24 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

the following standards and amendments to existing standards

have been published and are mandatory for the Group’s

accounting periods beginning on or after the dates as indicated,

but the Group has not early adopted them:

3.24.1 IFRIC 17, ‘Distribution of non-cash assets to owners’ (effective on

or after 1 July 2009).

this interpretation provides guidance on accounting for

arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to

shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends.

IFRs 5 has also been amended to require that assets are

classified as held for distribution only when they are available

for distribution in their present condition and the distribution

is highly probable. the Group and Company will apply IFRIC 17

from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on

the Group or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.2 IFRIC 18, ‘transfer of assets from customers’ (effective for transfers

from 1 July 2009).

this interpretation provides guidance on how to account for

items of property, plant and equipment received from customers,

or cash that is received and used to acquire or construct specific

assets. this interpretation is only applicable to such assets that

are used to connect the customer to a network or provide

ongoing access to a supply of goods or services or both. the

Group and Company will apply IFRIC 18 from 1 April 2010.

It is not expected to have a material impact on the Group or

Company’s financial statements.

3.24.3 IFRs 2 ‘share-based payments’ (amendment), ‘scope of IFRs 2

and IFRs 3 (revised)’ (effective on or after 1 July 2009).

this amendment confirms that in addition to business combinations

as defined by IFRs 3 (revised), ‘Business combinations’, contributions

of a business on formation of a joint venture and common control

transactions are excluded from the scope of IFRs 2, ‘share-based

payments’. the Group and Company will apply the amendment

from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact

on the Group or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.4 IAs 1 ‘Presentation of financial statements’ (amendment),

‘Current/non-current classification of convertible instruments’

(effective on or after 1 January 2010).

this amendment clarifies that the potential settlement of a

liability by the issue of equity is not relevant to its classification

as current or non-current. By amending the definition of current

liability, the amendment permits a liability to be classified as non-

current (provided that the entity has an unconditional right to

defer settlement by transfer of cash or other assets for at least 12

months after the accounting period), notwithstanding the fact that

the entity could be required by the counter party to settle in shares

at any time. the Group and Company will apply the amendment

from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on

the Group or Company’s financial statements.

the amendment requires that only expenditures that result in

a recognised asset in the statement of financial position can be

classified as investing activities. the Group and Company will apply

the amendment from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have a

material impact on the Group or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.6 IAs 17 ‘Leases’ (amendment), ‘Classification of leases of land

and buildings’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

the amendment deletes specific guidance regarding

classification of leases of land, so as to eliminate inconsistency

with the general guidance on lease classification. As a result,

leases of land should be classified as either finance or operating,

using the general principles of IAs 17. the Group and Company

will apply the amendment from 1 April 2010. It is not expected

to have a material impact on the Group or Company’s financial

statements.

3.24.7 IAs 36 ‘Impairment of assets’ (amendment), ‘Unit of accounting

for goodwill impairment test’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

the amendment clarifies that the largest cash generating unit

(or group of units) to which goodwill should be allocated for

the purposes of impairment testing is an operating segment

as defined by paragraph 5 of IFRs 8, ‘operating segments’

(that is, before the aggregation of segments with similar

economic characteristics permitted by paragraph 12 of IFRs

8). the Group and Company will apply the amendment from

1 April 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on

the Group or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.8 IAs 38 ‘Intangible assets’ (amendment), ‘Measuring the fair

value of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination’

(effective on or after 1 July 2009).

this amends paragraphs 40 and 41 of IAs 38 to clarify the

description of valuation techniques commonly used by entities

when measuring the fair value of intangible assets acquired in a

business combination that are not traded in active markets. the

Group and Company will apply the amendment from 1 April

or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.9 IAs 39 ‘Financial instruments: recognition and measurement’

(amendment), ‘treating loan pre-payment penalties as closely

the amendment clarifies that prepayment options, the exercise

price of which compensates the lender for loss of interest by

reducing the economic loss from reinvestment risk, should be

considered closely related to the host debt contract. the Group

and Company will apply the amendment from 1 April 2010. It

is not expected to have an impact on the Group or Company’s

financial statements.

3.24.10 IAs 39 ‘Financial instruments: recognition and measurement’

(amendment), ‘scope exemption for business combination

contracts’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

this is an amendment to the scope exemption in paragraph 2(g)

of IAs 39 to clarify that: (a) it only applies to binding (forward)

contracts between an acquirer and a vendor in a business

combination to buy an acquiree at a future date; (b) the term

of the forward contract should not exceed a reasonable period

normally necessary to obtain any required approvals and to

complete the transaction; and (c) the exemption should not be

applied to option contracts (whether or not currently exercisable)

that on exercise will result in control of an entity, nor by analogy

to investments in associates and similar transactions. the Group

and Company will apply the amendment from 1 April 2010. It

is not expected to have an impact on the Group or Company’s

financial statements.

3.24.11 IAs 39 ‘Financial instruments: recognition and measurement’

(amendment), ‘Cash flow hedge accounting’ (effective 1 January

2010).

the amendment clarifies when to recognise gains or losses on

hedging instruments as a reclassification adjustment in a cash

flow hedge of a forecast transaction that results subsequently

in the recognition of a financial instrument. the amendment

clarifies that gains or losses should be reclassified from equity

to profit or loss in the period in which the hedged forecast cash

flow affects profit or loss. the Group and Company will apply

the amendment from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have an

impact on the Group or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.12 IAs 39 (amendment), ‘Hedging using internal contracts’ (effective

the new standard continues to apply the acquisition method

to business combinations, with some significant changes. For

example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded

at fair value at the acquisition date, with some contingent

payments subsequently re-measured at fair value through

income. Goodwill may be calculated based on the parent’s

Revised’ (effective on or after 1 July 2009).

IAs 27 (revised) requires the effects of all transactions with

non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is

no change in control. they will no longer result in goodwill or

gains and losses. the standard also specifies the accounting

when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-

measured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognised in profit

or loss. the Group and Company will apply the amendment

from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have an impact on the

designating inflation as a hedgeable component of a fixed rate

debt. It also prohibits including time value in the one-sided

hedged risk when designating options as hedges. the Group and

Company will apply the amendment from 1 April 2010. It is

not expected to have an impact on the Group or Company’s

financial statements.

324.18 IFRs 2, ‘Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions

(amendment)’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

the amendment clarifies the accounting for group cash-settled

share-based payment transactions. the entity receiving the

goods or services shall measure the share-based payment

transaction as equity-settled only when the awards granted are

its own equity instruments, or the entity has no obligation to

settle the share-based payment transaction. the entity settling

a share-based payment transaction when another entity in the

Group receives the goods or services recognises the transaction

as equity-settled only if it is settled in its own equity instruments.

In all other cases, the transaction is accounted for as cash-

settled. the Group and Company will apply the amendment

from 1 April 2010. It is not expected to have an impact on the

Group or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.19 IAs 32, ‘Classification of rights issues (amendment)’ (effective

the amendment clarifies the accounting treatment when rights

issues are denominated in a currency other than the functional

currency of the issuer. the amendment states that if such rights

are issued pro rata to an entity’s existing shareholders for a fixed

amount of currency, they should be classified as equity regardless

of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated.

1 April 2010. It is not expected to have an impact on the Group

or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.20 IAs 24, ‘Related party disclosures (amendment)’ (effective on or

this amendment provides partial relief from the requirement for

government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions

with the government and other government-related entities.

It also clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party.

the Group and Company will apply the amendment from

1 April 2010. the amendment will relieve the Group of related

party disclosures with governement and related entities.

3.24.21 IFRs 9, ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective on or after 1 January 2013).

this IFRs is part of the IAsB’s project to replace IAs 39. IFRs 9

3.24.23 IFRIC 19 ‘extinguishing Financial Liabilities with equity Instruments’

(effective on or after 1 July 2010).

this IFRIC clarifies the accounting when an entity renegotiates the

terms of its debt with the result that the liability is extinguished

through the debtor issuing its own equity instruments to

the creditor. A gain or loss is recognised in the statement of

comprehensive income account based on the fair value of the

equity instruments compared to the carrying amount of the

debt. the Group and Company will apply the amendment from

liabilities are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale

plan results in loss of control, and relevant disclosure should

be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued

operation is met. A consequential amendment to IFRs 1 states

that these amendments are applied prospectively from the date

of transition to IFRss. In addition, a paragraph has been added

to IFRs 5 clarifying that disclosures in other standards do not

apply to assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or

discontinued operations unless other standards require specific

disclosures or require disclosures about the measurement

of assets and liabilities within a disposal group that are not

within the scope of the measurement requirements of IFRs 5.

the Group and Company will apply the amendment from

1 April 2010. It is not expected to have an impact on the Group

or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.26 IFRs 8, ‘operating segments - Disclosure of segment assets

information’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

Paragraph 23 of IFRs 8 has been amended to make it clear

that an entity should report a measure of total assets and

total liabilities for each reportable segment, if the amounts

are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

the Group and Company will apply the amendment from

1 April 2010. It is not expected to have an impact on the Group

or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.27 IAs 18 ‘Revenue - Determining whether an entity is acting as

principal or as agent’ (effective on or after 1 January 2010).

or Company’s financial statements.

3.24.28 IAs 38 ‘Intangible Assets’ (effective on or after 1 July 2009).

IAs 38 has been amended to clarify that when an intangible

asset acquired in a business combination is linked to a contract

or identifiable asset, the intangible asset may be recognised

separately from goodwill, but together with the related item. In

addition, the acquirer may recognise a group of complimentary

intangible assets as a single asset, provided the individual assets

in the Group have similar useful lives. the Group and Company

will apply the amendment from 1 April 2010. It is not expected

to have an impact on the Group or Company’s financial

statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)for the year ended 31 March 2010

4 FINANCIAL RIsK MANAGeMeNt

the Group recognises that an effective risk management function

is fundamental to its business. taking international best practice

into account, our comprehensive risk management process involves

identifying, understanding and managing the risks associated

with each of ACsA’s business units. Risk awareness, control and

compliance are embedded in the Group’s day-to-day activities.

the Group Risk Management Unit independently monitors, manages

and reports risk as mandated by the Board of Directors through the

Board Risk Committee, and the treasury and economic Regulation

Committee. the executive Committee (eXCo) and business units

are ultimately responsible for managing risks that arise.

A sound financial risk management framework is in place at Airports

Company south Africa (ACsA), based on a best-practice enterprise

Risk Management Framework, built on rigorous governance

structures. this framework is supported by an experienced team

that manages the exposures across the Group structures and these

are regularly monitored and reported to the respective committees

and ultimately to the Board.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss to the Group as a result of the failure

by a customer or counterparty to meet its contractual obligations.

the credit risk that ACsA faces arises mainly from commercial and

aeronautical businesses. these risks are mitigated by the guarantees

held for the exposure over a given period. Credit risks can also arise

from cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative

financial instruments. these risks are effectively managed in terms

of the Board approved financial risk management framework

that specifies the investment and counterparty policies. As at

31 March 2010 ACsA had no significant concentration of credit

risk from treasury trading activities.

Trade and other receivables

the Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the

individual characteristics of each customer. the demographics

of the Group’s customer base, including the default rate of the

industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an

influence on credit risk. Approximately 38% (2009: 38%) of the

Group’s aeronautical revenue is attributable to transactions with

a single customer. the main concentration of credit risk is in the

Johannesburg region, which approximate 59% (2009: 70%) of the

trade receivables of the Group.

the treasury and economic Regulation Committee has established

a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed

individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard

payment terms and conditions are offered. the Group’s review

includes external ratings, where available, and in some cases

bank references. Credit limits are established for each customer,

which represents the maximum open amount, and these limits

are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Customers that fail to meet the

Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group

only on a prepayment/cash basis.

More than 60% of the Group’s customers have been transacting

with the Group for over 13 years, and losses have occurred

infrequently. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers

are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including

whether they are an individual or a legal entity, whether they

are aeronautical, commercial or retail customers, geographic

location, industry, aging profile, maturity and existence of previous

financial difficulties. trade and other receivables relate mainly to

the Group’s aeronautical and commercial customers. Customers

that are graded as ‘high risk’ are placed on a restricted customer

list, and future transactions are made on prepayment basis with

approval of the treasury and economic Regulation Committee.

Investments

In complying with the treasury Regulations, ACsA’s financial

risk management framework limits the Group to investments in

A short-term rated instruments or AAA rated instruments and

counterparts.

Guarantees

the Group has no formal policy for providing financial guarantees.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that ACsA’s earnings or capital, or its

ability to meet business objectives, will be adversely affected

by changes in the level or volatility of market rates or prices

such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity

prices. the main market risk arises from treasury activities and

both aeronautical and non-aeronautical business. the Group

has developed analytical tools that are used to perform various

analyses in order to assess the impact of market risk on business

and to identify mitigants to manage the risk within approved

tolerance levels.

Interest rate risk

ACsA’s interest rate risk arises from its borrowings. Borrowings

issued at variable rates exposes the Company to cash flow risks,

and borrowings issued at fixed rate exposes the Company to fair

value interest rate risk. ACsA’s policy is to maintain a mix of fixed

to floating rate debt within the Board approved parameters.

As at 31 March 2010, ACsA’s fixed to floating rate profile after

hedging, on net debt, was 61% (2009: 51%) fixed.

Tariff risk

Approximately half of the Group revenue is regulated by an

independent economic regulator using a price-cap methodology.

the regulated tariff is linked to the CPI index. A change in CPI

has a positive or a negative impact on the revenue earned by the

Group. However, the Group is allowed to adjust the difference

between actual and forecast CPI in future tariffs. the tariff is

determined every five years with an option to reopen after three

years. the board has approved a regulatory strategy which seeks

to proactively influence the regulatory approach in line with

best practice. In this regard, the Group proactively manages the

economic regulatory risk while balancing the interests of both the

Group and the customers.

4 FINANCIAL RIsK MANAGeMeNt (continued)

Foreign exchange risk

ACsA has one overseas investment which give rise to limited

exposure to foreign currency risk arising primarily with respect

to Indian Rupee. All foreign debt instruments are issued in Rands

or where applicable hedged through cross-currency swaps. the

Group also uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge material

expenditure once the project or purchase cash flows are certain.

Liquidity and funding risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to generate sufficient cash

to honour financial commitments. In ACsA it refers particularly

to the risk of ACsA not being able to advance funds for capital

expenditure, redeem and service loans, finance operational costs

and service unanticipated financial commitments.

the objective of the financial risk management framework is

to ensure continuity of funding and flexibility, ensuring debt

maturities are spread over a range of dates to manage refinancing

risks. the Group has successfully raised all funding required for

the 2010 financial year. Further, the Group mitigates this risk by

maintaining banking facilities with major south African banks

that cover 12 months funding requirements. the Group achieved

further improvement in its funding structure by reducing the

proportion of short-term to 9% (2009: 20%) of the total liability

as at 31 March 2010. the Group is not exposed to excessive

refinancing risk in any one year.

As at 31 March 2010, the Group had committed and un-committed facilities of R7,5 billion (2009: R9 billion).

Un-committed facilities represent undrawn lines of credit where the bank has an agreement with the Company to make available an amount

(up to the maximum specified) in loans on demand from the Group. the Group is under no obligation to actually take out a loan at any particular

time. Committed facilities are those lines of credit where the Group and the bank have clearly defined terms and conditions which bind the bank to

lend the Group up to the amounts stated in the agreement.

Capital risk management

the Group’s capital management strategy is designed to ensure that the Group is adequately capitalised in a manner consistent with the Group’s

risk profile, economic regulatory requirements and maintaining investment rating levels. this strategy is intended to maintain investors’ confidence

in ACsA’s debt issues in the debt capital markets.

the Group monitors capital adequacy through the gearing ratio as represented by net interest bearing debt to total capital. Net debt is calculated

as total interest bearing borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and

cash equivalents. total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position plus net debt. the gearing ratio

for the Group at 31 March 2010 was 63% (2008: 58%).

During 2010, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2009, was to maintain the gearing ratio within 60% to 65% and maintain an

investment credit rating. the gearing ratios as at 31 March were as follows:

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Fair value estimation

the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. the Group uses the

current bid price to determine the market price for financial assets.

the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined using valuation techniques. the Group uses a variety of

methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Quoted market prices and dealer quotes

for similar instruments are used for long-term debt. other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value

for the remaining financial instruments.

the carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. the fair value of

financial liabilities for discounting purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that

is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events

that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)for the year ended 31 March 2010

5 sIGNIFICANt ACCoUNtING estIMAtes AND JUDGMeNts

the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the

related actual results. the estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:

Fair value of financial instruments

the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. the Group uses its

judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

the Group has used discounted cash flow analysis for financial assets that are not traded in active markets.

Post retirement medical aid obligation

the present value of the post retirement medical aid obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using

a number of assumptions. the assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for post retirement medical aid include the discount rate.

Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of post retirement medical aid obligations.

the Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. this is the interest rate that should be used to determine the

present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the post retirement medical aid obligations. In determining the

appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of high-quality government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which

the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related post retirement medical aid obligation.

other key assumptions for post retirement medical aid obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed

in note 20.

Were the discount rate used to differ by 1% from management’s estimates, the carrying amount of post retirement medical aid obligations would

be an estimated R19,433 million lower or R25,473 million higher.

Fair value of investment property

the fair value of investment properties is determined on transactions observable in the market. Where there is lack of comparable transactions, a

valuation model is used.

Useful lives and residual values of assets

the Group reassess the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment annually by reference to the age or known condition of

the assets and the Group’s expected use of the related assets.

Accounting for investment in associate

the Group’s 10% shareholding in the Mumbai International Airport (Private) Limited has been accounted for using the equity method as

the Group believes that it has the ability (and power) to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions, which gives the Group

significant influence.

Debentures issued to the North West Government at zero coupon rate in exchange for an allocation of a 20% equity in Pilanesberg International Airport (Pty) Ltd at a date still to be determined.

It is ACsA’s intention and understanding that the debentures will be convertible at the option of the North West Government. the contractual terms providing for the conversion of the debentures into an equity stake would result in government participation in the ownership of the Company. the debentures are at a zero coupon rate and no cash flows will be received in this respect. therefore the full amount received on initial recognition is equal to the residual amount that should be allocated to equity.

Credit quality of financial instruments

the credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about the customer.

Before accepting any new customer, the Group uses an external credit scoring system to assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines

credit limits by customer. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed periodically. More than 50% of the trade receivables that are

neither past due nor impaired were recovered within three months after the reporting date. of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year,

R70 million (2009: R65 million) is due from the Group’s largest single customer. there are no other customers who represent more than 10% of

the total balance of trade receivables.

the allowance account in respect of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the

amounts owing is possible. At that point, the amounts are considered irrecoverable and are written off against the allowance account.

the Group believes that, based on historic default rates, are no other impairment allowance in respect of trade receivables not past due or past

due 61-90 days is required.

the Group’s reported operating segments are based on reports reviewed by the executive Committee to make strategic decisions. the reportable

segments offer the same services, except for the Corporate Division, and are managed separately because they require different marketing

strategies.

Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below. the executive Committee assesses the performance of the

operating segments as a measure of earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation expense (eBItDA). Interest income and

expenditure are not allocated to operating segments as it is driven largely by the Corporate Division, which manages the cash requirements of the

Company.

sales between operating segments are carried out at arm’s-length. the revenue from external parties reported to the executive Committee is

measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement.
