SABMiller plc
Business description and notes to the consolidated financial statements

Business description

SABMiller plc (the company) is listed on the London and the Johannesburg stock exchanges. It is a holding company which has brewing and beverage interests across six continents. Together with its subsidiaries, associated undertakings and joint venture undertakings (the group), the principal activities are the manufacture, distribution and sale of beverages. The company’s registered office is at SABMiller House, Church Street West, Woking, Surrey, England, GU21 6HS.

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the group’s financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

a) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of SABMiller plchave been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRSs).

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation to fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, and post-retirement assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies below. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X for inclusion in the Form 10-K of Altria Group, Inc., as the company is a foreign equity investee of Altria Group, Inc. The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012 included herein have been revised to reflect purchase accounting adjustments finalised in 2013 and thus will not correspond to the company's 2012 Annual Report, which was previously filed with the Registrar of Companies and is available on the company’s website (www.sabmiller.com). A reconciliation of the reported amounts is provided in the company's 2013 Annual Report, which is also available on the website.

b) Recent accounting developments

(i) New standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards adopted by the group

There were no standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the group since 1 April 2011 which had a significant impact on the group’s consolidated results or financial position.

(ii) New standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the group

The following standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2012 or later periods, but which have not been early adopted by the group and in relation to which the group is yet to assess the full impact:

• Amendment to IAS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’ is effective from 1 January 2013.

• IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’, is effective from 1 January 2015.

• IFRS 10, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, is effective from 1 January 2013.

• IFRS 11, ‘Joint Arrangements’, is effective from 1 January 2013.

• IFRS 12, ‘Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities’ is effective from 1 January 2013.

• IFRS 13, ‘Fair Value Measurement’, is effective from 1 January 2013.

• Amendment to IAS 1, ‘Financial statement presentation’, is effective from 1 July 2012.

• Amendment to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’, is effective from 1 January 2013.

• Annual improvements to IFRS 2009-2011, are effective from 1 January 2013.

• IAS 27 (revised), ‘Separate Financial Statements’, is effective from 1 January 2013.

• IAS 28 (revised), ‘Associates and Joint Ventures’, is effective from 1 January 2013.

There are no other standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the group.

c) Significant judgements and estimates

In determining and applying accounting policies, judgement is often required where the choice of specific policy, assumption or accounting estimate to be followed could materially affect the reported results or net position of the group, should it later be determined that a different choice be more appropriate.

Management considers the following to be areas of significant judgement and estimation for the group due to greater complexity and/or particularly subject to the exercise of judgement:

(i) Impairment reviews

Goodwill arising on business combinations is allocated to the relevant cash generating unit (CGU). Impairment reviews in respect of the relevant CGUs are performed at least annually or more regularly if events indicate that this is necessary. Impairment reviews are based on future cash flows discounted using the weighted average cost of capital for the relevant country with terminal values calculated applying the long-term growth rate. The future cash flows which are based on business forecasts, the long-term growth rates and the discount rates used are dependent on management estimates and judgements. Future events could cause the assumptions used in these impairment reviews to change with a consequent adverse impact on the results and net position of the group. Details of the estimates used in the impairment reviews for the year are set out in note 10.

(ii) Taxation

The group operates in many countries and is subject to taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for taxes as the tax treatment is often by its nature complex, and cannot be finally determined until a formal resolution has been reached with the relevant tax authority which may take several years to conclude. Amounts provided are accrued based on management’s interpretation of country specific tax laws and the likelihood of settlement. Actual liabilities could differ from the amount provided which could have a consequent adverse impact on the results and net position of the group.

1. Accounting policies(continued)

c) Significant judgements and estimates (continued)

(iii) Pension and post-retirement benefits

Pension accounting requires certain assumptions to be made in order to value the group’s pension and post-retirement obligations in the balance sheet and to determine the amounts to be recognised in the income statement and in other comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 19. The calculations of these obligations and charges are based on assumptions determined by management which include discount rates, salary and pension inflation, healthcare cost inflation, mortality rates and expected long-term rates of return on assets. Details of the assumptions used are set out in note 31. The selection of different assumptions could affect the net position of the group and future results.

(iv) Property, plant and equipment

The determination of the useful economic life and residual values of property, plant and equipment is subject to management estimation. The group regularly reviews all of its depreciation rates and residual values to take account of any changes in circumstances, and any changes that could affect prospective depreciation charges and asset carrying values.

(v) Business combinations

On the acquisition of a company or business, a determination of the fair value and the useful life of intangible assets acquired is performed, which requires the application of management judgement. Future events could cause the assumptions used by the group to change which would have a significant impact on the results and net position of the group.

(vi) Exceptional items

Exceptional items are expense or income items recorded in a period which have been determined by management as being material by their size or incidence and are presented separately within the results of the group. The determination of which items are disclosed as exceptional items will affect the presentation of profit measures including EBITA and adjusted earnings per share, and requires a degree of judgement. Details relating to exceptional items reported during the year are set out in note 4.

d) Segmental reporting

Operating segments reflect the management structure of the group and the way performance is evaluated and resources allocated based on group revenue and EBITA by the group’s chief operating decision maker, defined as the executive directors. The group is focused geographically, and while not meeting the definition of reportable segments, the group reports separately as segments South Africa: Hotels and Gaming and Corporate as this provides useful additional information.

e) Basis of consolidation

SABMiller plc (the company) is a public limited company incorporated in Great Britain and registered in England and Wales. The consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the subsidiary, associate and joint venture entities owned by the company.

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the company, where control is the power directly or indirectly to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities, regardless of whether this power is actually exercised. Where the company’s interest in subsidiaries is less than 100%, the share attributable to outside shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interests. Subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

Control is presumed to exist when the group owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity unless, in exceptional circumstances, it can be clearly demonstrated that such ownership does not constitute control. Control also exists where the group has the ability to direct or dominate decision-making in an entity, regardless of whether this power is actually exercised.

On the subsequent disposal or termination of a business, the results of the business are included in the group’s results up to the effective date of disposal. The profit or loss on disposal or termination is calculated after charging the amount of any related goodwill to the extent that it has not previously been taken to the income statement.

Intra-group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Some of the company’s subsidiaries have a local statutory accounting reference date of 31 December. These are consolidated using management prepared information on a basis coterminous with the company's accounting reference date.

(ii) Associates

Associates are entities in which the group has a long-term interest and over which the group has directly or indirectly significant influence, where significant influence is the ability to influence the financial and operating policies of the entity.

The associate, Distell Group Ltd, has a statutory accounting reference date of 30 June. In respect of each year ending 31 March, this company is included based on financial statements drawn up to the previous 31 December, but taking into account any changes in the subsequent period from 1 January to 31 March that would materially affect the results. All other associates are included on a coterminous basis.

(iii) Joint ventures

Joint ventures are contractual arrangements which the group has entered into with one or more parties to undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic, financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.

The group’s share of the recognised income and expenses of associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method from the date significant influence or joint control commences to the date it ceases based on present ownership interests.

SABMiller plc
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

1. Accounting policies(continued)

e) Basis of consolidation(continued)

(iii) Joint ventures (continued)

The group recognises its share of associates’ and joint ventures’ post-tax results as a one line entry before profit before taxation in the income statement and its share of associates’ and joint ventures’ equity movements as a one line entry under other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income.

When the group’s interest in an associate or joint venture has been reduced to nil because the group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, the group only provides for additional losses to the extent that it has incurred legal or constructive obligations to fund such losses, or make payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. Where the investment in an associate or joint venture is disposed, the investment ceases to be equity accounted.

(iv) Transactions with non-controlling interests

Transactions with non-controlling interests are treated as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity where there is no loss of control.

(v) Reduction in interests

When the group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, certain amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that certain amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, or if the ownership interest in a joint venture is reduced but joint control is retained, only the proportionate share of the carrying amount of the investment and of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

f) Foreign exchange

(i) Foreign exchange translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars which is the group’s presentational currency. The exchange rates to the US dollar used in preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

	Year ended 31 March 2012	Year ended 31 March 2011
Average rate
Australian dollar (AUD)	0.95	1.06
South African rand (ZAR)	7.48	7.15
Colombian peso (COP)	1,831	1,881
Euro (€)	0.72	0.76
Czech koruna (CZK)	17.65	19.04
Peruvian nuevo sol (PEN)	2.73	2.81
Polish zloty (PLN)	2.99	3.01
Closing rate
Australian dollar (AUD)	0.97	0.97
South African rand (ZAR)	7.67	6.77
Colombian peso (COP)	1,792	1,879
Euro (€)	0.75	0.71
Czech koruna (CZK)	18.52	17.27
Peruvian nuevo sol (PEN)	2.67	2.80
Polish zloty (PLN)	3.13	2.84

The average exchange rates have been calculated based on the average of the exchange rates during the relevant year which have been weighted according to the phasing of revenue of the group’s businesses.

(ii) Transactions and balances

The financial statements for each group company have been prepared on the basis that transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in their functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date with the resultant translation differences being included in operating profit in the income statement other than those arising on financial assets and liabilities which are recorded within net finance costs and those which are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equity investments classified as available for sale assets are included in other comprehensive income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

1. Accounting policies(continued)

f) Foreign exchange (continued)

(iii) Overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

One-off items in the income and cash flow statements of overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures expressed in currencies other than the US dollar are translated to US dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing on the day of the transaction. All other items are translated at weighted average rates of exchange for the relevant reporting period. Assets and liabilities of these undertakings are translated at closing rates of exchange at each balance sheet date. All translation exchange differences arising on the retranslation of opening net assets together with differences between income statements translated at average and closing rates are recognised as a separate component of equity. For these purposes net assets include loans between group companies that form part of the net investment, for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. When a foreign operation is disposed of, any related exchange differences in equity are reclassified to the income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

g) Business combinations

(i) Subsidiaries

The acquisition method is used to account for business combinations. The identifiable net assets (including intangibles) are incorporated into the financial statements on the basis of their fair value from the effective date of control, and the results of subsidiary undertakings acquired during the financial year are included in the group’s results from that date.

On the acquisition of a company or business, fair values reflecting conditions at the date of acquisition are attributed to the identifiable assets (including intangibles), liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Fair values of these assets and liabilities are determined by reference to market values, where available, or by reference to the current price at which similar assets could be acquired or similar obligations entered into, or by discounting expected future cash flows to present value, using either market rates or the risk-free rates and risk-adjusted expected future cash flows.

The consideration transferred is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of the acquisition, and also includes the group’s estimate of the fair value of any deferred consideration payable. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Where the business combination is achieved in stages and results in a change in control, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Where the business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost that is contingent on future events, the consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. On an acquisition by acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

(ii) Associates and joint ventures

On acquisition the investment in associates and joint ventures is recorded initially at cost. Subsequently the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the group’s share of the associates’ and joint ventures’ income and expenses after the date of acquisition.

Fair values reflecting conditions at the date of acquisition are attributed to the group’s share of identifiable assets (including intangibles), liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. The consideration transferred is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of the acquisition, and also includes the group’s estimate of the fair value of any deferred consideration payable.

The date significant influence or joint control commences is not necessarily the same as the closing date or any other date named in the contract.

(iii) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets (including intangibles), liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of acquisition. Where the fair value of the group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration, the difference is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses and is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Any impairment identified is recognised immediately in the income statement and is not reversed.

The carrying amount of goodwill in respect of associates and joint ventures is included in the carrying value of the investment in the associate or joint venture.

h) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation on a straight-line basis (if applicable) and impairment losses. Cost is usually determined as the amount paid by the group, unless the asset has been acquired as part of a business combination. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Amortisation is included within net operating expenses in the income statement. Internally generated intangibles are not recognised except for software and applied development costs referred to under software and research and development below.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their estimated useful economic lives, and only tested for impairment where there is a triggering event. The group regularly reviews all of its amortisation rates and residual values to take account of any changes in circumstances. The directors’ assessment of the useful life of intangible assets is based on the nature of the asset acquired, the durability of the products to which the asset attaches and the expected future impact of competition on the business.

h) Intangible assets (continued)

(i) Brands

Brands are recognised as an intangible asset where the brand has a long-term value. Acquired brands are only recognised where title is clear or the brand could be sold separately from the rest of the business and the earnings attributable to it are separately identifiable.

Acquired brands are amortised. In respect of brands currently held the amortisation period is 10 to 40 years, being the period for which the group has exclusive rights to those brands.

(ii) Contract brewing and other licences recognised as part of a business combination

Contractual arrangements for contract brewing and competitor licensing arrangements are recognised as an intangible asset at a fair value representing the remaining contractual period with an assumption about the expectation that such a contract will be renewed, together with a valuation of this extension.

Acquired licences or contracts are amortised. In respect of licences or contracts currently held, the amortisation period is the period for which the group has exclusive rights to these assets or income streams.

(iii) Customer lists and distributor relationships recognised as part of a business combination

The fair value of businesses acquired may include customer lists and distributor relationships. These are recognised as intangible assets and are calculated by discounting the future revenue stream attributable to these lists or relationships.

Acquired customer lists or distributor relationships are amortised. In respect of contracts currently held, the amortisation period is the period for which the group has the benefit of these assets.

(iv) Software

Where computer software is not an integral part of a related item of property, plant and equipment, the software is capitalised as an intangible asset.

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring them to use. Direct costs associated with the production of identifiable and unique internally generated software products controlled by the group that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are capitalised. Direct costs include software development employment costs (including those of contractors used), capitalised interest and an appropriate portion of overheads. Capitalised computer software, licence and development costs are amortised over their useful economic lives of between three and eight years.

Internally generated costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are expensed as incurred.

(v) Research and development

Research and general development expenditure is written off in the period in which it is incurred.

Certain applied development costs are only capitalised as internally generated intangible assets where there is a clearly defined project, separately identifiable expenditure, an outcome assessed with reasonable certainty (in terms of feasibility and commerciality), expected revenues exceed expected costs and the group has the resources to complete the task. Such assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives once the project is complete.

i) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognised as a separate asset as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the specific asset will flow to the group and the cost can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

(i) Assets in the course of construction

Assets in the course of construction are carried at cost less any impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and for qualifying assets certain borrowing costs as determined below. When these assets are ready for their intended use, they are transferred into the appropriate category. At this point, depreciation commences on the same basis as on other property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Assets held under finance leases

Assets held under finance leases which result in the group bearing substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are capitalised as property, plant and equipment. Finance lease assets are initially recognised at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, then depreciated over the lower of the lease term or their useful lives. The capital element of future obligations under the leases is included as a liability in the balance sheet classified, as appropriate, as a current or non-current liability. The interest element of the lease obligations is charged to the income statement over the period of the lease term to reflect a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the obligation for each financial period.

(iii) Returnable containers

Returnable containers in circulation are recorded within property, plant and equipment at cost net of accumulated depreciation less any impairment loss.

Depreciation of returnable bottles and containers is recorded to write the containers off over the course of their economic life. This is typically undertaken in a two stage process:

▪ The excess over deposit value is written down over a period of 1 to 10 years.

10

SABMiller plc
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

1. Accounting policies(continued)

i) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(iii) Returnable containers (continued)

▪ Provisions are made against the deposit values for breakages and losses in trade together with a design obsolescence provision held to write off the deposit value over the expected container design period – which is a period of no more than 14 years from the inception of a container design. This period is shortened where appropriate by reference to market dynamics and the ability of the entity to use containers for different brands.

(iv) Depreciation

No depreciation is provided on freehold land or assets in the course of construction. In respect of all other property, plant and equipment, depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to write off the cost, less the estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Freehold buildings	20 - 50 years
Leasehold buildings	Shorter of the lease term or 50 years
Plant, vehicles and systems	2 - 30 years
Returnable containers (non-returnable containers are recorded as inventory)	1 - 14 years
Assets held under finance leases	Lower of the lease term or life of the asset

The group regularly reviews all of its depreciation rates and residual values to take account of any changes in circumstances. When setting useful economic lives, the principal factors the group takes into account are the expected rate of technological developments, expected market requirements for the equipment and the intensity at which the assets are expected to be used.

The profit or loss on the disposal of an asset is the difference between the disposal proceeds and the net book amount.

(v) Capitalisation of borrowing costs

Financing costs incurred, before tax, on major capital projects during the period of development or construction that necessarily take a substantial period of time to be developed for their intended use, are capitalised up to the time of completion of the project.

j) Advance payments made to customers (principally hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs)

Advance payments made to customers are conditional on the achievement of contracted sales targets or marketing commitments. The group records such payments as prepayments initially at fair value and amortises them in the income statement over the relevant period to which the customer commitment is made (typically three to five years). These prepayments are recorded net of any impairment losses.

Where there is a volume target the amortisation of the advance is included in sales discounts as a reduction to revenue and where there are specific marketing activities/commitments the amortisation is included as an operating expense. The amounts capitalised are reassessed annually for achievement of targets and are impaired where there is objective evidence that the targets will not be achieved.

Assets held at customer premises are included within property, plant and equipment and are depreciated in line with group policies on similar assets.

k) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, and net realisable value, as follows:

▪ Raw materials, consumables and goods for resale: Purchase cost net of discounts and rebates on a first-in first-out basis (FIFO).

▪ Finished goods and work in progress: Raw material cost plus direct costs and a proportion of manufacturing overhead expenses on a FIFO basis.

Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal. Costs of inventories include the transfer from equity of any gains or losses on matured qualifying cash flow hedges of purchases of raw materials.

l) Financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value (plus any directly attributable transaction costs, except in the case of those classified at fair value through profit or loss). For those financial instruments that are not subsequently held at fair value, the group assesses whether there is any objective evidence of impairment at each balance sheet date.

Financial assets are recognised when the group has rights or other access to economic benefits. Such assets consist of cash, equity instruments, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset, or a contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another entity on potentially favourable terms. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation to transfer benefits and that obligation is a contractual liability to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial instruments with another entity on potentially unfavourable terms. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, that is discharged, cancelled or expired.

If a legally enforceable right exists to set off recognised amounts of financial assets and liabilities, which are in determinable monetary amounts, and there is the intention to settle net, the relevant financial assets and liabilities are offset.

Interest costs are charged to the income statement in the year in which they accrue. Premiums or discounts arising from the difference between the net proceeds of financial instruments purchased or issued and the amounts receivable or repayable at maturity are included in the effective interest calculation and taken to net finance costs over the life of the instrument.

1. Accounting policies(continued)

l) Financial assets and financial liabilities(continued)

There are four categories of financial assets and financial liabilities. These are described as follows:

(i) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include derivative assets and derivative liabilities not designated as effective hedging instruments.

All gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities within this category are recognised in the income statement.

a. Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities

Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities are financial instruments whose value changes in response to an underlying variable, require little or no initial investment and are settled in the future.

These include derivatives embedded in host contracts. Such embedded derivatives need not be accounted for separately if the host contract is already fair valued; if it is not considered as a derivative if it was freestanding; or if it can be demonstrated that it is closely related to the host contract. There are certain currency exemptions which the group has applied to these rules which limit the need to account for certain potential embedded foreign exchange derivatives. These are: if a contract is denominated in the functional currency of either party; where that currency is commonly used in international trade of the good traded; or if it is commonly used for local transactions in an economic environment.

Derivative financial assets and liabilities are analysed between current and non-current assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet, depending on when they are expected to mature.

For derivatives that have not been designated to a hedging relationship, all fair value movements are recognised immediately in the income statement. (See note x for the group’s accounting policy on hedge accounting).

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market. They arise when the group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities of greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value including originating fees and transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment. Loans and receivables include trade receivables, amounts owed by associates – trade, amounts owed by joint ventures – trade, accrued income and cash and cash equivalents.

a. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less provision for impairment.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. This provision is recognised in the income statement.

b. Cash and cash equivalents

In the consolidated balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, bank deposits repayable on demand and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(iii) Available for sale investments

Available for sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, or loans and receivables. Investments in this category are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently remeasured at fair value and tested for impairment. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value including any related foreign exchange movements are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal or impairment of available for sale investments, any gains or losses in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

(iv) Financial liabilities held at amortised cost

Financial liabilities held at amortised cost include trade payables, accruals, amounts owed to associates – trade, amounts owed to joint ventures – trade, other payables and borrowings.

a. Trade payables

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables are analysed between current and non-current liabilities on the face of the balance sheet, depending on when the obligation to settle will be realised.

l) Financial assets and financial liabilities(continued)

(iv) Financial liabilities held at amortised cost (continued)

b. Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs and are subsequently stated at amortised cost and include accrued interest and prepaid interest. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Borrowings classified as hedged items are subject to hedge accounting requirements (see note x). Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities and are included within cash and cash equivalents on the face of the cash flow statement as they form an integral part of the group’s cash management.

m)     Impairment

This policy covers all assets except inventories (see note k), financial assets (see note l), non-current assets classified as held for sale (see note n), and deferred tax assets (see note u).

Impairment reviews are performed by comparing the carrying value of the non-current asset to its recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less costs to sell is considered to be the amount that could be obtained on disposal of the asset. Value in use is determined by discounting the future post-tax cash flows generated from continuing use of the cash generating unit (CGU) using a post-tax discount rate, as this closely approximates to applying pre-tax discount rates to pre-tax cash flows. Where a potential impairment is identified using post-tax cash flows and post-tax discount rates, the impairment review is reperformed on a pre-tax basis in order to determine the impairment loss to be recorded.

Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the cash flows of other assets, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. For the purpose of conducting impairment reviews, CGUs are considered to be groups of assets that have separately identifiable cash flows. They also include those assets and liabilities directly involved in producing the income and a suitable proportion of those used to produce more than one income stream.

An impairment loss is held firstly against any specifically impaired assets. Where an impairment is recognised against a CGU, the impairment is first taken against goodwill balances and if there is a remaining loss it is set against the remaining intangible and tangible assets on a pro-rata basis.

Should circumstances or events change and give rise to a reversal of a previous impairment loss, the reversal is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it occurs and the carrying value of the asset is increased. The increase in the carrying value of the asset is restricted to the amount that it would have been had the original impairment not occurred. Impairment losses in respect of goodwill are irreversible.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Assets subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment if circumstances or events change to indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.

n)    Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale

Non-current assets and all assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.

Such assets are classified as held for resale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. This condition is regarded as met only when a sale is highly probable, the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition and when management is committed to the sale which is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from date of classification.

o)    Provisions

Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, as a result of a past event for which it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Such provisions are calculated on a discounted basis where the effect is material to the original undiscounted provision. The carrying amount of the provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time and the unwinding of the discount and the movement is recognised in the income statement within net finance costs.

Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses, however, provisions are recognised for onerous contracts where the unavoidable cost exceeds the expected benefit.

p)    Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

q)    Investments in own shares (treasury and shares held by employee benefit trusts)

Shares held by employee share ownership plans, employee benefit trusts and in treasury are treated as a deduction from equity until the shares are cancelled, reissued, or disposed.

Purchases of such shares are classified in the cash flow statement as a purchase of own shares for share trusts or purchase of own shares for treasury within net cash from financing activities.

Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and related tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company’s equity shareholders.

r)    Revenue recognition

(i) Sale of goods and services

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided to third parties and is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.

The group presents revenue gross of excise duties because unlike value added tax, excise is not directly related to the value of sales. It is not generally recognised as a separate item on invoices, increases in excise are not always directly passed on to customers, and the group cannot reclaim the excise where customers do not pay for product received. The group therefore considers excise as a cost to the group and reflects it as a production cost. Consequently, any excise that is recovered in the sale price is included in revenue.

Revenue excludes value added tax. It is stated net of price discounts, promotional discounts, settlement discounts and after an appropriate amount has been provided to cover the sales value of credit notes yet to be issued that relate to the current and prior periods.

The same recognition criteria also apply to the sale of by-products and waste (such as spent grain, malt dust and yeast) with the exception that these are included within other income.

(ii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest method.

When a receivable is impaired the group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount by discounting the estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate, and continuing to unwind the discount as interest income.

(iii) Royalty income

Royalty income is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the relevant agreements and is included in other income.

(iv) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

s)    Operating leases

Rentals paid and incentives received on operating leases are charged or credited to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

t)    Exceptional items

Where certain expense or income items recorded in a period are material by their size or incidence, the group reflects such items as exceptional items within a separate line on the income statement except for those exceptional items that relate to associates, joint ventures, net finance costs and tax. (Associates’, joint ventures’, net finance costs and tax exceptional items are only referred to in the notes to the consolidated financial statements).

Exceptional items are also summarised in the segmental analyses, excluding those that relate to net finance costs and tax.

The group presents alternative earnings per share calculations on a headline and adjusted basis. The adjusted earnings per share figure excludes the impact of amortisation of intangible assets (excluding software), certain non-recurring items and post-tax exceptional items in order to present an additional measure of performance for the years shown in the consolidated financial statements. Headline earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the South African Circular 3/2009 entitled 'Headline Earnings' which forms part of the listing requirements for the JSE Ltd (JSE).

u)    Taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax expense is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. The group’s liability for current taxation is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is provided in full using the liability method, in respect of all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the consolidated financial statements, except where the temporary difference arises from goodwill (in the case of deferred tax liabilities) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised where the carrying value of an asset is greater than its tax base, or where the carrying value of a liability is less than its tax base. Deferred tax is recognised in full on temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. This includes taxation in respect of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, dividends have been accrued as receivable or a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future periods has been entered into by the subsidiary. Deferred income tax is also recognised in respect of the unremitted retained earnings of overseas associates and joint ventures as the group is not able to determine when such earnings will be remitted and when such additional tax such as withholding taxes might be payable.

A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences (including carried forward tax losses) can be utilised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.

v) Dividend distributions

Dividend distributions to equity holders of the parent are recognised as a liability in the group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the company’s shareholders. Interim dividends are recognised when paid. Dividends declared after the balance sheet date are not recognised, as there is no present obligation at the balance sheet date.

w)    Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries

Wages and salaries for current employees are recognised in the income statement as the employees’ services are rendered.

(ii) Vacation and long-term service awards costs

The group recognises a liability and an expense for accrued vacation pay when such benefits are earned and not when these benefits are paid.

The group also recognises a liability and an expense for long-term service awards where cash is paid to the employee at certain milestone dates in a career with the group. Such accruals are appropriately discounted to reflect the future payment dates at discount rates determined by reference to local high-quality corporate bonds.

(iii) Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company’s shareholders after certain adjustments.

The group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. At a mid-year point an accrual is maintained for the appropriate proportion of the expected bonuses which would become payable at the year end.

(iv) Share-based compensation

The group operates a variety of equity-settled share-based compensation plans and a cash-settled share-based compensation plan.

The equity-settled plans comprise share option plans (with and without market performance conditions attached), performance share award plans (with market conditions attached) and awards related to the employee element of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) scheme in South Africa. An expense is recognised to spread the fair value of each award granted after 7 November 2002 over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, after allowing for an estimate of the share awards that will eventually vest. A corresponding adjustment is made to equity over the remaining vesting period. The estimate of the level of vesting is reviewed at least annually, with any impact on the cumulative charge being recognised immediately. In addition the group has granted an equity-settled share-based payment to retailers in relation to the retailer element of the BBBEE scheme. A one-off charge has been recognised based on the fair value at the grant date with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The charge will not be adjusted in the future.

The charges are based on the fair value of the awards as at the date of grant, as calculated by various binomial model calculations and Monte Carlo simulations.

The charges are not reversed if the options and awards are not exercised because the market value of the shares is lower than the option price at the date of grant.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

For the cash-settled plan a liability is recognised at fair value in the balance sheet over the vesting period with a corresponding charge to the income statement. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date, on an actuarial basis using the analytic method, to reflect the revised fair value and to adjust for changes in assumptions such as leavers. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised in the income statement. Actual settlement of the liability will be at its intrinsic value with the difference recognised in the income statement.

(v) Pension obligations

The group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in full as they arise outside of the income statement and are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, with the exception of gains or losses arising from changes in the benefits regarding past services, which are recognised in the income statement.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense as the costs become payable. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

w)    Employee benefits (continued)

(vi) Other post-employment obligations

Some group companies provide post-retirement healthcare benefits to qualifying employees. The expected costs of these benefits are assessed in accordance with the advice of qualified actuaries and contributions are made to the relevant funds over the expected service lives of the employees entitled to those funds. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments, and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in full as they arise outside the income statement and are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. These obligations are valued annually by independent qualified actuaries.

(vii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal, or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value in a similar manner to all long-term employee benefits.

x)    Derivative financial instruments – hedge accounting

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include all derivative financial instruments. The derivative instruments used by the group, which are used solely for hedging purposes (i.e. to offset foreign exchange and interest rate risks), comprise interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and other specific instruments as necessary under the approval of the board. Such derivative instruments are used to alter the risk profile of an existing underlying exposure of the group in line with the group’s risk management policies. The group also has derivatives embedded in other contracts primarily cross border foreign currency supply contracts for raw materials.

Derivatives are initially recorded at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the hedging relationship.

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the group is required to document at inception, the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions. The group is also required to document and demonstrate that the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument will be highly effective. This effectiveness test is reperformed at each period end to ensure that the hedge has remained and will continue to remain highly effective.

The group designates certain derivatives as either: hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); hedges of highly probable forecast transactions or commitments (cash flow hedge); or hedges of net investments in foreign operations (net investment hedge).

(i) Fair value hedges

Fair value hedges comprise derivative financial instruments designated in a hedging relationship to manage the group’s interest rate risk to which the fair value of certain assets and liabilities are exposed. Changes in the fair value of the derivative offset the relevant changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in the income statement in the period incurred.

Gains or losses on fair value hedges that are regarded as highly effective are recorded in the income statement together with the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

(ii) Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges comprise derivative financial instruments designated in a hedging relationship to manage currency and interest rate risk to which the cash flows of certain liabilities are exposed. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting is recognised in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the income statement in the period in which the hedged item affects profit or loss. However, where a forecasted transaction results in a non-financial asset or liability, the accumulated fair value movements previously deferred in equity are included in the initial cost of the asset or liability.

(iii) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations comprise either foreign currency borrowings or derivatives (typically forward exchange contracts and cross currency swaps) designated in a hedging relationship.

Gains or losses on hedging instruments that are regarded as highly effective are recognised in other comprehensive income. These largely offset foreign currency gains or losses arising on the translation of net investments that are recorded in equity, in the foreign currency translation reserve. The ineffective portion of gains or losses on hedging instruments is recognised immediately in the income statement. Amounts accumulated in equity are only reclassified to the income statement upon disposal of the net investment.

Where a derivative ceases to meet the criteria of being a hedging instrument or the underlying exposure which it is hedging is sold, matures or is extinguished, hedge accounting is discontinued and amounts previously recorded in equity are reclassified to the income statement. A similar treatment is applied where the hedge is of a future transaction and that transaction is no longer likely to occur. When the hedge is discontinued due to ineffectiveness, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

Certain derivative instruments, whilst providing effective economic hedges under the group’s policies, are not designated as hedges. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify or have not been designated as hedges are recognised immediately in the income statement. The group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

y)     Deposits by customers

Returnable containers in circulation are recorded within property, plant and equipment and a corresponding liability is recorded in respect of the obligation to repay the customers’ deposits. Deposits paid by customers for branded returnable containers are reflected in the balance sheet within current liabilities. Any estimated liability that may arise in respect of deposits for unbranded containers is shown in provisions.

z)     Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share represents the profit on ordinary activities after taxation attributable to the equity shareholders of the parent entity, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, less the weighted average number of ordinary shares held in the group’s employee benefit trusts and in treasury during the year.

Diluted earnings per share represents the profit on ordinary activities after taxation attributable to the equity shareholders of the parent, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, less the weighted average number of ordinary shares held in the group’s employee benefit trusts and in treasury during the year, plus the weighted average number of dilutive shares resulting from share options and other potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

2. Segmental analysis
Operating segments reflect the management structure of the group and the way performance is evaluated and resources allocated based on group revenue and EBITA by the group’s chief operating decision maker, defined as the executive directors. The group is focused geographically and, while not meeting the definition of reportable segments, the group reports separately as segments South Africa: Hotels and Gaming and Corporate as this provides useful additional information.
The segmental information presented below includes the reconciliation of GAAP measures presented on the face of the income statement to non-GAAP measures which are used by management to analyse the group’s performance.

Net profit on disposal of businesses

During 2012 a profit of US$1,195 million arose in Europe on the disposal of the group’s Russian and Ukrainian businesses in exchange for a 24% interest in the enlarged Anadolu Efes group; a profit of US$67 million arose in Africa on the disposal of the group’s Angolan operations in exchange for a 27.5% interest in BIH Angola; partially offset by a loss of US$14 million incurred in Europe primarily in relation to the recycling of the foreign currency translation reserve on the disposal of the distribution business in Italy.

Profit on disposal of investment in associate

During 2012 a profit of US$103 million was realised on the disposal of the group’s investment in its associate, Kenya Breweries Ltd, in Africa.

Gain on remeasurement of existing interest in joint venture on acquisition

During 2012 the group acquired the remaining 50% interest which it did not already own in Pacific Beverages Pty Ltd (Pacific Beverages) from Coca-Cola Amatil Limited. This resulted in a US$66 million gain arising on the remeasurement to fair value of the group’s existing interest.

Litigation

During 2012 in Europe a US$42 million anti-trust fine paid by Grolsch prior to its acquisition by SABMiller plc was annulled by the EU General Court and the payment refunded.

Business capability programme costs

The business capability programme will streamline finance, human resources and procurement activities through the deployment of global systems and introduce common sales, distribution and supply chain management systems. Costs of US$235 million have been incurred in the year (2011: US$296 million).

Transaction-related costs

During 2012 costs of US$109 million were incurred in relation to the Foster’s Group Ltd (Foster’s) transaction.

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment scheme costs

US$29 million (2011: US$149 million) of costs have been incurred in relation to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) scheme in South Africa. This represents the ongoing IFRS 2 share-based payment charge in respect of the employee element of the scheme and in the prior year also, the one-off IFRS 2 charge in respect of the retailer element, together with the costs associated with the transaction.

Impairments

In 2011 impairment charges of US$98 million were incurred in Europe including charges following the classification of the in-house distribution business in Italy as held for sale and the closure of the Cluj brewery in Romania.

Exceptional items included in net finance costs

During 2012 US$4 million of interest was received in relation to the refund of the anti-trust fine in Europe.

Transaction-related net costs

During 2012 net costs of US$26 million were incurred primarily related to the Foster’s transaction and included fees relating to financing facilities and premiums on derivative instruments which were partially offset by mark to market gains on derivative financial instruments taken out in anticipation of the transaction and where hedge accounting could not be applied.

Share of associates’ and joint ventures’ exceptional items

Profits/(losses) on transactions in associates

During 2012 Tsogo Sun released deferred consideration relating to a prior acquisition of which the group’s share was US$13 million; US$10 million profit arose on Tsogo Sun’s fair value accounting on the change in control on the acquisition of the outstanding stake in the Formula 1 chain; and a US$23 million profit arose in Africa being the group’s share of Castel’s profit on disposal of its subsidiary in Nigeria.

Total taxation	1,025	1,047
Effective tax rate (%)	27.5	28.2
The effective tax rate is calculated by expressing tax before tax on exceptional items and on amortisation of intangible assets (excluding software), including the group’s share of associates’ and joint ventures’ tax on the same basis, as a percentage of adjusted profit before tax. The calculation is on a basis consistent with that used in prior years and is also consistent with other group operating metrics. Tax on amortisation of intangible assets (excluding software) was US$72 million (2011: US$58 million).
MillerCoors is not a taxable entity. The tax balances and obligations therefore remain with Miller Brewing Company as a 100% subsidiary of the group. This subsidiary’s tax charge includes tax (including deferred tax) on the group’s share of the taxable profits of MillerCoors and includes tax in other comprehensive income on the group’s share of MillerCoors’ taxable items included within other comprehensive income.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes 8,362,920 (2011: 9,045,847) share options that were non-dilutive for the year because the exercise price of the option exceeded the fair value of the shares during the year, 14,799,716 (2011: 12,842,609) share awards that were non-dilutive for the year because the performance conditions attached to the share awards have not been met and nil (2011: 732,869) shares in relation to the employee component of the BBBEE scheme that were non-dilutive for the year. These share incentives could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.
Subsequent to 31 March 2012 and before the date of signing these financial statements, 26,527,017 share incentives were granted, 12,542,461 share incentives were exercised or released, 2,552,483 share incentives lapsed and 424,822 treasury shares were used to satisfy awards outstanding under the various share incentive plans. On 26 March 2013 an additional 4,600,000 treasury shares were transferred to the EBT at no gain or loss to the group. These shares will be used to satisfy awards outstanding under the various share incentive plans.

Adjusted and headline earnings
The group presents an adjusted earnings per share figure which excludes the impact of amortisation of intangible assets (excluding software), certain non-recurring items and post-tax exceptional items in order to present an additional measure of performance for the years shown in the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted earnings per share has been based on adjusted earnings for each financial year and on the same number of weighted average shares in issue as the basic earnings per share calculation. Headline earnings per share has been calculated in accordance with the South African Circular 3/2009 entitled ‘Headline Earnings’ which forms part of the listing requirements for the JSE Ltd (JSE). The adjustments made to arrive at headline earnings and adjusted earnings are as follows.

In addition, the directors proposed a final dividend of 69.5 US cents per share in respect of the financial year ended 31 March 2012. The dividend was paid on 17 August 2012 to shareholders registered on the London and Johannesburg registers on 10 August 2012. The total dividend per share for the year is 91.0 US cents (2011: 81.0 US cents).
Treasury shares do not attract dividends and the employee benefit trusts have both waived their right to receive dividends (further information can be found in note 27).

Assumptions            

The recoverable amount for a CGU is determined based on value in use calculations. Value in use is determined by discounting the future post-tax cash flows generated from continuing use of the CGU using a post-tax discount rate, as this closely approximates to applying pre-tax discount rates to pre-tax cash flows. Where a potential impairment is identified using post-tax cash flows and post-tax discount rates, the impairment review is reperformed on a pre-tax basis in order to determine the impairment loss to be recorded. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are as follows:

Expected volume growth rate– Cash flows are based on financial forecasts approved by management covering five-year periods and are dependent on the expected volume growth rates.            

Discount rate– The discount rate (weighted average cost of capital) is calculated using a methodology which reflects the returns from United States Treasury notes with a maturity of 20 years, and an equity risk premium adjusted for specific industry and country risks. The group applies local post-tax discount rates to local post-tax cash flows.            

Long-term growth rate- Cash flows after the first five-year period were extrapolated using a long-term growth rate, in order to calculate the terminal recoverable amount.            

The following table presents the key assumptions used in the value in use calculations in each of the group's operating segments:    

	Expected volume growth rates 2013 - 2017		Post-tax discount rates		Long-term growth rates
Latin America	4.2%-18.6%		8.0%-13.1%		2.0%-3.0%
Europe	1.8%-8.9%		7.7%-9.9%		2.0%-3.5%
North America	8.5	%	7.1	%	2.5	%
Africa	1.9%-15.1%		8.3%-12.6%		2.5%-7.1%
Asia Pacific	2.6%-19.2%		7.6%-10.3%		2.3%-7.0%
South Africa	2.8	%	8.8	%	3.0	%
Impairment reviews results
As a result of the annual impairment reviews, no impairment losses have been recognised in the year (2011: US$nil).
Sensitivities to assumptions
The group’s impairment reviews are sensitive to changes in the key assumptions described above. Based on the group’s sensitivity analysis, a reasonably possible change in a single assumption will not cause an impairment loss in any of the group’s CGUs.

On 24 February 2011 the Tsogo Sun Group merged with GRR, a Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed business, through an all share merger. The transaction was effected through the acquisition by GRR of Tsogo Sun, and the group exchanged its entire 49% shareholding in Tsogo Sun for a 39.68% shareholding in the listed enlarged entity which resulted in a profit of US$159 million on the partial disposal of the group’s shareholding in Tsogo Sun and a loss of US$26 million being the group’s share of its associate’s loss on the merger transaction. The increase in the investments in associates includes US$159 million being the group’s share of the fair value uplift on the investment in the enlarged entity.

The group holds collateral as security for past due trade receivables to the value of US$28 million (2011: US$33 million) and for past due other receivables of US$nil (2011: US$1 million). Collateral held primarily includes bank guarantees and charges over assets.
At 31 March 2012 trade receivables of US$151 million (2011: US$167 million) were determined to be specifically impaired and provided for. The amount of the provision at 31 March 2012 was US$140 million (2011: US$147 million) and reflects trade receivables from customers which are considered to be experiencing difficult economic situations. It was assessed that a portion of these receivables is expected to be recovered. The group holds collateral as security against specifically impaired trade receivables with a fair value of US$1 million (2011: US$4 million).
At 31 March 2012 other receivables of US$13 million (2011: US$15 million) were determined to be specifically impaired and provided for. The amount of the provision at 31 March 2012 was US$12 million (2011: US$14 million) and reflects loans to customers which are considered to be experiencing difficult economic situations. It was assessed that a portion of these receivables is expected to be recovered. The group did not hold collateral as security against specifically impaired other receivables at 31 March 2012 or 31 March 2011.

Cash and short-term deposits of US$144 million (2011: US$143 million) are held in African countries (including South Africa) and are subject to local exchange control regulations. These local exchange control regulations provide for restrictions on exporting capital from those countries, other than through normal dividends.
The group operates notional cash pools. The structures facilitate interest and balance compensation of cash and bank overdrafts. These notional pooling arrangements meet the set-off rules under IFRS and, as a result, the cash and overdraft balances have been reported net on the balance sheet.
Effective 1 January 2012 the group combined the operational management of its Angolan businesses, in Africa, with the Angolan businesses of its associate, Castel, with all of the Angolan businesses, in which the group retains an associate interest, being managed from that date by Castel. As a result, a participation in a bank loan of US$100 million previously owed by an Angolan subsidiary of the group is no longer entitled to be offset within borrowings. The loan participation has been separately disclosed on the balance sheet as a loan participation deposit, and in the cash flow statement, has not been treated as a cash and cash equivalent as it is not readily convertible into cash in accordance with IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’.

19. Disposal group held for sale
Following the Foster’s acquisition, and the subsequent purchase of the 50% interest in Pacific Beverages from Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd, the group has agreed to dispose of Foster’s interests in its Fijian beverage operations, Foster’s Group Pacific Limited (FGPL), subject to regulatory approvals. Accordingly the assets and liabilities related to FGPL have been presented as held for sale.
In the prior year, the assets and liabilities related to the in-house distribution business in Italy were presented as held for sale, and the disposal group presented within Europe in accordance with IFRS 8 ‘Operating segments’. The distribution business was disposed of on 13 June 2011.

21. Deferred taxation (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are only offset where there is a legally enforceable right of offset and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
The deferred tax asset arises due to timing differences in Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Corporate. Given both recent and forecast trading, the directors are of the opinion that the level of profits in the foreseeable future is more likely than not to be sufficient to recover these assets.
Deferred tax liabilities of US$3,662 million (2011: US$2,568 million) are expected to fall due after more than one year.
Deferred tax assets of US$71 million (2011: US$103 million) are expected to be recovered after more than one year.
	2012	2011
	US$m	US$m
Unrecognised deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the following items:
Tax losses	161	144
Tax credits	242	40
Capital allowances in excess of depreciation	13	11
Share-based payments	25	29
Other deductible temporary differences	107	113
	548	337
Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses are not recognised unless there is convincing evidence that there will be sufficient profits in future years to recover the assets. A significant part of the tax losses arise in the UK and the value has been calculated at the substantively enacted rate of 24%. It has been announced that the rate will fall annually to 23% and 22% commencing 1 April 2013, and to 20% commencing 1 April 2015. The impact of these reductions is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets in respect of tax credits arising which are carried forward for offset against future profits are not recognised unless there is absolute certainty that future profits will arise. US$242 million (2011: US$40 million) of such tax credits expire within 10 years.
Deferred tax is recognised on the unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries where there is an intention to distribute those reserves. A deferred tax liability of US$37 million (2011: US$31 million) has been recognised. A deferred tax liability of US$51 million (2011: US$75 million) has also been recognised in respect of unremitted profits of associates where a dividend policy is not in place. No deferred tax has been recognised on temporary differences of US$8,600 million (2011: US$6,900 million) relating to unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries where either the overseas profits will not be distributed in the foreseeable future, or, where there are plans to remit overseas earnings of subsidiaries, it is not expected that such distributions will give rise to a tax liability. No deferred tax liability is recognised as the group is able to control the timing of the reversal of these differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
As a result of UK legislation which largely exempts from UK tax the overseas dividends received, the temporary differences arising on unremitted profits are unlikely to lead to additional corporate taxes. However, remittance to the UK of those earnings may still result in a tax liability, principally as a result of withholding taxes levied by the overseas tax jurisdictions in which those subsidiaries operate.

Financial risk management

Overview

In the normal course of business, the group is exposed to the following financial risks:

• Market risk

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

This note explains the group’s exposure to each of the above risks, aided by quantitative disclosures included throughout these consolidated financial statements, and it summarises the policies and processes that are in place to measure and manage the risks arising, including those related to the management of capital.

The directors are ultimately responsible for the establishment and oversight of the group’s risk management framework. An essential part of this framework is the role undertaken by the audit committee of the board, supported by the internal audit function, and by the chief financial officer, who in this regard is supported by the treasury committee and the group treasury function. Amongst other responsibilities, the audit committee reviews the internal control environment and risk management systems within the group and it reports its activities to the board. The board also receives a quarterly report on treasury activities, including confirmation of compliance with treasury risk management policies.

The group treasury function is responsible for the management of cash, borrowings and the financial risks arising in relation to interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The responsibility for the management of commodities exposures lies with the procurement functions within the group, including Trinity Procurement GmbH (Trinity), the group’s centralised procurement function. Risk management of key brewing and packaging materials has now been substantially transferred to Trinity. Some of the risk management strategies include the use of derivatives, principally in the form of forward foreign currency contracts, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and exchange-traded futures contracts, in order to manage the currency, interest rate and commodities exposures arising from the group’s operations. The group also purchases call options where these provide a cost-effective hedging alternative and, where they form part of an option collar strategy, the group also sells put options to reduce or eliminate the cost of purchased options. It is the policy of the group that no trading in financial instruments be undertaken.

The group’s treasury policies are established to identify and analyse the financial risks faced by the group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor exposures and adherence to limits.

a. Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The group is subject to exposure on the translation of the foreign currency denominated net assets of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures into the group’s US dollar reporting currency. The group seeks to mitigate this exposure, where cost effective, by borrowing in the same currencies as the functional currencies of its main operating units or by achieving the same effect through the use of forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps. An approximate nominal value of US$4,429 million of US dollar borrowings and €255 million of euro borrowings have been swapped into currencies that match the currency of the underlying operations of the group, including South African rand, Peruvian nuevo sol, Czech koruna, Polish zloty, Australian dollar and Colombian peso. Of these financial derivatives, US$2,406 million and €255 million are accounted for as net investment hedges and US$1,600 million are accounted for as fair value hedges.

The group does not hedge currency exposures from the translation of profits earned in foreign currency subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

The group is also exposed to transactional currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of group entities. These exposures are presently managed locally by group entities which, subject to regulatory constraints or currency market limitations, hedge a proportion of their foreign currency exposure estimated to arise over a period of up to 18 months. Committed transactional exposures that are certain are hedged fully without limitation in time. The group principally uses forward exchange contracts to hedge currency risk.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

Currency risks arise on account of financial instruments being denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency and being of a monetary nature.

The group holds foreign currency cash flow hedges totalling US$1,224 million at 31 March 2012 (2011: US$927 million). The foreign exchange gains or losses on these contracts are recorded in the cash flow hedging reserve until the hedged transactions occur, at which time the respective gains and losses are transferred to inventory, property, plant and equipment, goodwill or to the income statement as appropriate.

The group holds net investment hedges totalling US$5,312 million at 31 March 2012 (2011: US$1,944 million). The foreign exchange gains or losses on these contracts are recorded in the net investment hedging reserve and partially offset the foreign currency translation risk on the group’s foreign currency net assets.

(ii) Interest rate risk

As at 31 March 2012 43% (2011: 40%) of consolidated gross borrowings were in fixed rates taking into account interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements.

The group’s policy is to borrow (directly or synthetically) in floating rates, reflecting the fact that floating rates are generally lower than fixed rates in the medium term. However, a minimum of 25% of consolidated net borrowings is required to be in fixed rates for a minimum duration of 12 months and the extent to which group borrowings may be in floating rates is restricted to the lower of 75% of consolidated net borrowings and that amount of net borrowings in floating rates that with a 1% increase in interest rates would increase finance costs by an amount equal to (but not more than) 1.20% of adjusted EBITDA. The policy also excludes borrowings arising from recent acquisitions and any inflation-linked debt, where there will be a natural hedge within business operations.

Exposure to movements in interest rates in group borrowings is managed through interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. As at 31 March 2012 on a policy adjusted basis, excluding borrowings from recent acquisitions and any inflation-linked debt, 50% (2011: 44%) of consolidated net borrowings were in fixed rates. The impact of a 1% rise in interest rates on borrowings in floating rates would be equivalent to 0.44% (2011: 0.67%) of adjusted EBITDA.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed income instruments

Changes in the market interest rates of non-derivative financial instruments with fixed interest rates only affect income if these are measured at their fair value. As such, all financial instruments with fixed rates of interest that are accounted for at amortised cost are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IFRS 7.

The group holds derivative contracts with a nominal value of US$6,217 million as at 31 March 2012 (2011: US$2,933 million) which are designated as fair value hedges. In the case of these instruments and the underlying fixed rate bonds, changes in the fair values of the hedged item and the hedging instrument attributable to interest rate movements net off almost completely in the income statement in the same period.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 bps in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) other comprehensive income and the income statement by the amounts shown above. This analysis assumes all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis was performed on the same basis for 2011.

Total interest bearing	19,226	-	19,226	8,460	-	8,460

(iii) Price risk

Commodity price risk

The group is exposed to variability in the price of commodities used in the production or in the packaging of finished products, such as the price of malt, barley, sugar and aluminium. Commodity price risk is managed within minimum and maximum guard rails principally through multi-year fixed price contracts with suppliers and, where appropriate, derivative contracts. The group hedges a proportion of commodity supply and price risk for a period of up to five years. Where derivative contracts are used the group manages exposures principally through exchange-traded futures, forwards and swaps.

At 31 March 2012 the notional value of commodity derivatives amounted to US$36 million (2011: US$21 million). No sensitivity analysis has been provided on these outstanding contracts as the impact is considered to be immaterial.

Equity securities price risk

The group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the group and classified on the balance sheet as available for sale investments. No sensitivity analysis has been provided on these outstanding contracts as the impact is considered to be immaterial.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Financial instruments

The group limits its exposure to financial institutions by setting credit limits on a sliding scale based on their credit ratings and generally dealing only with counterparties with a minimum credit rating of BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 from Moody’s. For banks with a lower credit rating, or with no international credit rating, a maximum limit of US$4 million is applied, unless specific approval is obtained from either the chief financial officer or the audit committee of the board. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. To reduce credit exposures, the group has ISDA Master Agreements with most of its counterparties for financial derivatives, which permit net settlement of assets and liabilities in certain circumstances.

Trade and other receivables

There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables as the group has a large number of customers which are internationally dispersed. The type of customers range from wholesalers and distributors to smaller retailers. The group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales commence. Credit risk is managed by limiting the aggregate amount of exposure to any one counterparty.

The group considers its maximum credit risk to be US$3,705 million (2011: US$2,984 million) which is the total of the group’s financial assets.

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The group finances its operations through cash generated by the business and a mixture of short-term and medium-term bank credit facilities, bank loans, corporate bonds and commercial paper with a range of maturity dates. In this way, the group ensures that it is not overly reliant on any particular liquidity source or that maturities of borrowings sourced in this way are not overly concentrated.

Subsidiaries have access to local bank credit facilities, but are principally funded by the group.

SABMiller plc
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

23. Financial risk factors (continued)

At 31 March 2012 the group had the following core lines of credit that were available for general corporate purposes.

SABMiller plc:

• US$2,500 million committed syndicated facility, of which US$264 million is due to expire in April 2016 and US$2,236 million is due to expire in April 2017.

SABMiller Holdings Inc:

• US$500 million revolving credit facility, which is due to expire in September 2016.

Liquidity risk faced by the group is mitigated by having diverse sources of finance available to it and by maintaining substantial unutilised banking facilities and reserve borrowing capacity, as indicated by the level of undrawn facilities.

As at 31 March 2012 borrowing capacity under committed bank facilities amounted to US$3,810 million (2011: US$3,164 million).

The table below analyses the group’s financial liabilities which will be settled on a net basis into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual settlement date.

Capital management

The capital structure of the group consists of net debt (see note 28c) and shareholders’ equity.

The group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

Besides the minimum capitalisation rules that may apply to subsidiaries in different countries, the group’s only externally imposed capital requirement relates to the group’s core lines of credit which include a net debt to EBITDA financial covenant which was complied with throughout the year.

The group monitors its financial capacity and credit ratings by reference to a number of key financial ratios and cash flow metrics including net debt to adjusted EBITDA and interest cover (the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net finance costs). These provide a framework within which the group’s capital base is managed including dividend policy. If the group fails to meet the financial targets required by the ratings agencies, a credit rating downgrade could impact the average interest rate of borrowings of the group and the future availability of credit to the group.

At 31 March 2012 the group was rated Baa1 by Moody’s Investors Service and BBB+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, both with a stable outlook. On 2 July 2012 Standard & Poor’s revised its rating to BBB+/positive outlook. Moody's rating remains unchanged.

Fair value estimation
The following table presents the group's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

Total liabilities	-	(135)	-	(135)

The levels of the fair value hierarchy and its application to the group’s financial assets and liabilities are described below.

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities:

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices):

The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over the counter derivatives or infrequently traded listed investments) are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data:

Specific valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value of the remaining financial instruments.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

(i) Fair value hedges

The group has entered into several interest rate swaps to pay floating and receive fixed interest which have been designated as fair value hedges to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of its US dollar and euro fixed rate borrowings. Non-current borrowings are designated as the hedged item as part of the fair value hedge. The borrowings and the interest rate swaps have the same critical terms.

As at 31 March 2012 the notional amount of the US dollar interest rate swaps was US$3,950 million (2011: US$2,225 million). The fixed interest rates received vary from 1.85% to 6.625% (2011: 5.5% to 6.625%) and the floating interest rates paid vary from LIBOR plus 71.6 bps to LIBOR plus 177.8 bps (2011: LIBOR plus 71.6 bps to LIBOR plus 198.8 bps) on the notional amount.

As at 31 March 2012 the notional amount of the euro interest rate swaps was €500 million (2011: €500 million). The fixed interest rates received are 4.5% (2011: 4.5%) and floating interest rates paid vary from EURIBOR plus 177 bps to EURIBOR plus 178 bps on the notional amount (2011: EURIBOR plus 177 bps to EURIBOR plus 178 bps on the notional amount).

Foster’s has entered into interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps, the cumulative effect of which is to receive fixed US dollar interest and pay Australian dollar floating interest, and to convert the profile of the US dollar borrowings into Australian dollars. These swaps have been designated as fair value hedges to hedge the exposure of the Australian operations to changes in the fair value of the US dollar borrowings.

As at 31 March 2012 the notional amount of the interest rate swaps was US$600 million (2011: US$nil). The fixed interest rates received vary from 4.875% to 7.875% and the floating rates paid vary from LIBOR plus 47 bps to LIBOR plus 73 bps on the notional amounts.

The notional amount of the cross currency interest rate swaps was US$1,600 million (2011: US$nil). These were:

• US$1,000 million received US dollar fixed rate interest varying from 5.125% to 5.875% and paid floating Australian dollar interest with rates varying from Australian bank bills plus 268 bps to Australian bank bills plus 410 bps; and

• US$600 million received floating US dollar interest with rates varying from LIBOR plus 47 bps to LIBOR plus 71 bps and paid floating Australian dollar interest with rates varying from Australian bank bills plus 87 bps to Australian bank bills plus 117 bps.

As at 31 March 2012 the carrying value of the hedged borrowings was US$6,827 million (2011: US$3,212 million).

(ii) Cash flow hedges

The group has entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to manage the interest rate on borrowings. The notional amount of these interest rate swaps was US$515 million equivalent (2011: US$99 million). The fair value of these interest rate swaps was a liability of US$4 million (2011: US$7 million). The fixed interest rate paid varies from 4.27% to 4.38% (2011: 4.7%) and the floating rates received are Australian bank bills plus zero bps (2011: EURIBOR plus zero bps). As at 31 March 2012 the carrying value of the hedged borrowings was US$535 million (2011: US$99 million).

The group has entered into forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage short-term foreign currency exposures to expected net operating costs including future trade imports and exports. As at 31 March 2012 the notional amounts of these contracts were €317 million, US$557 million, GBP128 million, Swiss franc (CHF) 15 million, South African rand (ZAR) 405 million and Czech koruna (CZK) 12 million (2011: €182 million, US$460 million, GBP120 million and CZK299 million).

The group has entered into commodity contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage the future price of commodities. As at 31 March 2012 the notional amount of forward contracts for the purchase price of corn was US$3 million (2011: US$2 million) and the notional amount of forward contracts for the purchase price of aluminium was US$33 million (2011: US$19 million).

The following table indicates the period in which the cash flows associated with derivatives that are cash flow hedges are expected to occur and impact the income statement.

(iii) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
The group has entered into several forward foreign currency contracts and cross currency swaps which it has designated as hedges of net investments in its foreign subsidiaries in South Africa, Australia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Colombia and Peru to hedge the group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk on these investments. Net losses relating to forward foreign currency contracts and cross currency swaps of US$1 million (2011: US$137 million) have been recognised in other comprehensive income.

Demerged entities and litigation

During the year ended 31 March 1998 the group recognised a provision of US$73 million for the disposal of certain demerged entities in relation to equity injections which were not regarded as recoverable, as well as potential liabilities arising on warranties and the sale agreements. During the year ended 31 March 2012 US$2 million (2011: US$1 million) of this provision was utilised in regard to costs associated with SAB Ltd’s previously disposed of remaining retail interests. The residual balance of US$13 million relates mainly to the disposal of OK Bazaars (1929) Ltd to Shoprite Holdings Ltd (Shoprite). As disclosed in previous annual reports, a number of claims were made by Shoprite in relation to the valuation of the net assets of OK Bazaars at the time of the sale and for alleged breaches by SAB Ltd of warranties contained in the sale agreements. These claims are being contested by SAB Ltd.

There are US$90 million (2011: US$76 million) of provisions in respect of outstanding litigation within various operations, based on management’s expectation that the outcomes of these disputes are expected to be resolved within the forthcoming five years.

While provision for all claims has already been made, the actual outcome of the disputes and the timing of the resolution cannot be estimated by the directors at this time. The further information ordinarily required by IAS 37, ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets’ has not been disclosed on the grounds that it can be expected to seriously prejudice the outcome of the disputes.

Post-retirement benefits

The provision for post-retirement benefits represents the provision for medical benefits for retired employees and their dependants in South Africa, for post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits for eligible employees and their dependants in North America and Europe, medical and other benefits in Latin America, and pension provisions for employees in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. The principal assumptions on which these provisions are based are disclosed in note 31.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

25. Provisions (continued)

Taxation-related

The group has recognised various provisions in relation to taxation exposures it believes may arise. The provisions principally relate to non-corporate taxation and interest and penalties on corporate taxation in respect of a number of group companies. Any settlement in respect of these amounts will occur as and when the assessments are finalised with the respective tax authorities.

Restructuring

This includes the remaining provision for restructuring costs related to Europe which management expects to be utilised within five years, and provisions for costs related to pre-existing demerger costs and demerger warranties in Foster’s in Australia which are expected to be utilised within one year.

Payroll-related

This principally relates to employee long service awards of US$19 million (2011: US$20 million) within South Africa and US$15 million (US$22 million) within Latin America, which are expected to be utilised on an ongoing basis when service awards fall due. Payroll-related provisions also include US$32 million (2011: US$nil) within Asia Pacific relating to employee entitlement provisions.

Onerous contracts

This includes provisions for unfavourable supply contracts for malt, glass, aluminium cans and concentrated fruit juice for non-alcoholic beverages, as well as provisions for surplus property leases in Australia, which management expect to be utilised within eight years.

Other provisions

Included within other provisions are environmental provisions, insurance provisions and other provisions. These are primarily expected to be utilised within five years.

Changes to authorised share capital

With effect from 1 October 2009 the company adopted new articles of association which removed any previous limit on the authorised share capital. Directors are still limited as to the number of shares they can at any time allot because allotment authority continues to be required under the Companies Act 2006, save in respect of employee shares plans.

Changes to issued share capital

During the year the company issued 5,283,469 (2011: 4,290,162) new ordinary shares of 10 US cents to satisfy the exercise of options granted under the various share incentive plans, for consideration of US$96 million (2011: US$73 million).

Rights and restrictions relating to share capital

Convertible participating shares

Altria is entitled to require the company to convert its ordinary shares into convertible participating shares so as to ensure that Altria’s voting shareholding does not exceed 24.99% of the total voting shareholding.

If such an event occurs, the convertible participating shares will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares in all respects and no action shall be taken by the company in relation to ordinary shares unless the same action is taken in respect of the convertible participating shares. On distribution of the profits (whether by cash dividend, dividend in specie, scrip dividend, capitalisation issue or otherwise), the convertible participating shares will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares. On a return of capital (whether winding-up or otherwise), the convertible participating shares will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares.

Altria is entitled to vote its convertible participating shares at general meetings of the company on a poll on the basis of one-tenth of a vote for every convertible participating share on all resolutions other than a resolution:

57

SABMiller plc
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

26. Share capital (continued)

(i) proposed by any person other than Altria, to wind-up the company;

(ii) proposed by any person other than Altria, to appoint an administrator or to approve any arrangement with the company’s creditors;

(iii) proposed by the board, to sell all or substantially all of the undertaking of the company; or

(iv) proposed by any person other than Altria, to alter any of the class rights attaching to the convertible participating shares or to approve the creation of any new class of shares,

in which case Altria shall be entitled on a poll to vote on the resolution on the basis of one vote for each convertible participating share, but, for the purposes of any resolution other than a resolution mentioned in (iv) above, the convertible participating shares shall be treated as being of the same class as the ordinary shares and no separate meeting or resolution of the holders of the convertible participating shares shall be required to be convened or passed.

Upon a transfer of convertible participating shares by Altria other than to an affiliate, such convertible participating shares shall convert into ordinary shares.

Altria is entitled to require the company to convert its convertible participating shares into ordinary shares if:

(i) a third party has made a takeover offer for the company and (if such offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects) it would result in the voting shareholding of the third party being more than 30% of the total voting shareholding; and

(ii) Altria has communicated to the company in writing its intention not itself to make an offer competing with such third party offer, provided that the conversion date shall be no earlier than the date on which the third party’s offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.

Altria is entitled to require the company to convert its convertible participating shares into ordinary shares if the voting shareholding of a third party should be more than 24.99%, provided that:

(i) the number of ordinary shares held by Altria following such conversion shall be limited to one ordinary share more than the number of ordinary shares held by the third party; and

(ii) such conversion shall at no time result in Altria’s voting shareholding being equal to or greater than the voting shareholding which would require Altria to make a mandatory offer in terms of rule 9 of the City Code.

If Altria wishes to acquire additional ordinary shares (other than pursuant to a pre-emptive issue of new ordinary shares or with the prior approval of the board), Altria shall first convert into ordinary shares the lesser of:

(i) such number of convertible participating shares as would result in Altria’s voting shareholding being such percentage as would, in the event of Altria subsequently acquiring one additional ordinary share, require Altria to make a mandatory offer in terms of rule 9 of the City Code; and

(ii) all of its remaining convertible participating shares.

The company must use its best endeavours to procure that the ordinary shares arising on conversion of the convertible participating shares are admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities, admitted to listing and trading on the JSE Ltd, and admitted to listing and trading on any other stock exchange upon which the ordinary shares are from time to time listed and traded, but no admission to listing or trading need be sought for the convertible participating shares whilst they remain convertible participating shares.

Deferred shares

The deferred shares do not carry any voting rights and do not entitle their holders to receive any dividends or other distributions. In the event of a winding up deferred shareholders would receive no more than the nominal value. Deferred shares represent the only non-equity share capital of the group.

Share-based payments

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) scheme

On 9 June 2010 the initial allocation of participation rights was made in relation to the BBBEE scheme in South Africa. A total of 46.2 million new shares in The South African Breweries Limited (SAB), representing 8.45% of SAB’s enlarged issued share capital, were issued. The shares in SAB will be exchanged at the end of the estimated ten-year scheme term for shares in SABMiller plc based on a repurchase formula linked, inter alia, to the operating performance of SAB. No performance conditions and exercise prices are attached to these shares, although the employee component has a four-year vesting period. The weighted average fair value of each SAB share at the grant date was ZAR40.

Weighted average fair value assumptions

The fair value of services received in return for share awards granted is measured by reference to the fair value of share awards granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on a binomial model approach except for the awards under Performance Share Award schemes, the Executive Share Award Plan 2008 (including value share awards) and the BBBEE scheme which have been valued using Monte Carlo simulations, and awards under the cash settled scheme which have been valued based on an analytic approach.

The Monte Carlo simulation methodology is necessary for valuing share-based payments with total shareholder return performance hurdles. Total shareholder return is the measure of the returns that a company has provided for its shareholders, reflecting share price movements and assuming reinvestment of dividends. This is achieved by projecting SABMiller plc’s share price forwards, together with those of companies in the same comparator group, over the vesting period and/or life of the awards after considering their respective volatilities.

a. Retained earnings (continued)

The group’s retained earnings includes amounts of US$709 million (2011: US$693 million), the distribution of which is limited by statutory or other restrictions.

Treasury and EBT shares reserve

On 26 February 2009, 77,368,338 SABMiller plc non-voting convertible shares were converted into ordinary shares and then acquired by the company to be held as treasury shares. While the purchase price for each share was £10.54, the whole amount of the consideration was paid between group companies. On 15 February 2010, 5,300,000 of these treasury shares were transferred to the EBT for nil consideration. These shares will be used to satisfy awards outstanding under the various share incentive plans. As at 31 March 2012 a total of 72,068,338 shares (2011: 72,068,338) were held in treasury.

There are two employee benefit trusts currently in operation, being the SABMiller Employee Benefit Trust (the EBT) and the SABMiller Associated Companies’ Employees’ Benefit Trust (the AC-EBT). The EBT holds shares in SABMiller plc for the purposes of the various executive share incentive plans. At 31 March 2012 the EBT held 5,605,746 shares (2011: 7,437,406 shares) which cost US$98 million (2011: US$94 million) and had a market value of US$225 million (2011: US$263 million). These shares have been treated as a deduction in arriving at shareholders’ funds. The EBT used funds provided by SABMiller plc to purchase such of the shares as were purchased in the market. The costs of funding and administering the scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.

The AC-EBT holds shares in SABMiller plc for the purposes of providing share incentives for employees of companies in which SABMiller has a significant economic and strategic interest but over which it does not have management control. At 31 March 2012 the AC-EBT held 335,940 shares which cost US$11 million and had a market value of US$13 million. These shares have been treated as a deduction in arriving at shareholders’ funds. The AC-EBT used funds provided by Gardwell Ltd, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of SABMiller plc, to purchase the shares. The costs of funding and administering the scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.

Shares currently held in each EBT rank pari passu with all other ordinary shares, however, in both cases the trustees have elected to waive dividends and decline from voting shares, except in circumstances where they may be holding shares beneficially owned by a participant. There were no beneficially owned shares in either EBT as at 31 March 2012.

¹ Guarantees to third parties provided in respect of trade loans

These primarily relate to guarantees given by Grolsch to banks in relation to loans taken out by trade customers.

² Litigation

The group has a number of activities in a wide variety of geographic areas and is subject to certain legal claims incidental to its operations. In the opinion of the directors, after taking appropriate legal advice, these claims are not expected to have, either individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect upon the group’s financial position, except insofar as already provided in the consolidated financial statements. These include claims made by certain former employees in Ecuador arising out of events which took place before the group’s investment in Ecuador in 2005, in respect of which, based on legal advice that they have no valid legal basis, the directors have determined that no provision is required and that they should continue to be contested.

Other

SABMiller and Altria entered into a tax matters agreement (the Agreement) on 30 May 2002, to regulate the conduct of tax matters between them with regard to the acquisition of Miller and to allocate responsibility for contingent tax costs. SABMiller has agreed to indemnify Altria against any taxes, losses, liabilities and costs that Altria incurs arising out of or in connection with a breach by SABMiller of any representation, agreement or covenant in the Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The group has exposures to various environmental risks. Although it is difficult to predict the group’s liability with respect to these risks, future payments, if any, would be made over a period of time in amounts that would not be material to the group’s financial position, except insofar as already provided in the consolidated financial statements.

31. Pensions and post-retirement benefits
The group operates a number of pension schemes throughout the world. These schemes have been designed and are administered in accordance with local conditions and practices in the countries concerned and include both defined contribution and defined benefit schemes. The majority of the schemes are funded and the schemes’ assets are held independently of the group’s finances. The assets of the schemes do not include any of the group’s own financial instruments, nor any property occupied by or other assets used by the group. Pension and post-retirement benefit costs are assessed in accordance with the advice of independent professionally qualified actuaries. Generally, the projected unit method is applied to measure the defined benefit scheme liabilities.
The group also provides medical benefits, which are mainly unfunded, for retired employees and their dependants in South Africa, the Netherlands and Latin America.
The total pension and post-retirement medical benefit costs recognised in the income statement, and related net liabilities on the balance sheet are as follows.
	2012	2011
	US$m	US$m
Defined contribution scheme costs	97	97
Defined benefit pension plan costs	15	17
Post-retirement medical and other benefit costs	13	5
Accruals for defined contribution plans (balance sheet)	3	3
Provisions for defined benefit pension plans (balance sheet)	197	196
Provisions for other post-retirement benefits (balance sheet)	112	114

The group operates various defined contribution and defined benefit schemes. Details of the main defined benefit schemes are provided below.

Latin America pension schemes

The group operates a number of pension schemes throughout Latin America. Details of the major scheme are provided below.

The Colombian Labour Code Pension Plan is an unfunded scheme of the defined benefit type and covers all salaried and hourly employees in Colombia who are not covered by social security or who have at least 10 years of service prior to 1 January 1967. The plan is financed entirely through company reserves and there are no external assets. The most recent actuarial valuation of the Colombian Labour Code Pension Plan was carried out by independent professionally qualified actuaries at 28 February 2012 using the projected unit credit method. All salaried employees are now covered by social security or private pension fund provisions. The principal economic assumptions used in the preparation of the pension valuations are shown below and take into consideration changes in the Colombian economy.

Grolsch pension scheme

The Grolsch pension plan, named Stichting Pensioenfonds van de Grolsche Bierbrouwerij, is a funded scheme of the defined benefit type, based on average salary with assets held in separately administered funds. The latest valuation of the Grolsch pension fund was carried out at 31 March 2012 by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Other

Details of other defined benefit pension schemes are provided below.

Foster’s pension scheme

The Foster’s pension plan, named AusBev Superannuation Fund, provides accumulation style and defined benefits to employees. The company funds the defined benefits, administration and insurance costs of the fund as a benefit to employees who elect to be members of this fund. The latest valuation of the Foster’s pension scheme was carried out at 30 June 2011 by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The defined benefits section is now closed to new members.

South Africa pension schemes

The group operates a number of pension schemes throughout South Africa. Details of the major schemes are provided below.

The ABI Pension Fund, Suncrush Pension Fund and Suncrush Retirement Fund are funded schemes of the defined benefit type based on average salary with assets held in separately administered funds. The surplus apportionment schemes for the ABI Pension Fund, the Suncrush Pension Fund and Suncrush Retirement Fund have been approved by the Financial Services Board.

SABMiller plc
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

31. Pensions and post-retirement benefits (continued)

The active and pensioner liabilities in respect of the ABI Pension Fund and the Suncrush Retirement Fund have been settled. The only liabilities are in respect of former members, the surplus apportionment scheme and unclaimed benefits. Once the surplus liabilities have been settled, the Funds will be deregistered and liquidated. During the year a significant number of former members of the ABI Pension Fund were successfully traced and there was a second allocation of surplus to the former members of the Fund in terms of Section 15C of the Pension Funds Act.

The Section 14 transfer of the Suncrush Pension Fund members to the SAB Staff Provident Fund was annulled by the Financial Services Board on 24 August 2011. The trustees have decided to make a provision in the rules of the fund to allow for paid-up benefits for each of the members. This would allow for each member to be paid their initial benefit, valued as at 1 July 2005, upon their exit.
