Related-party disclosures

34 RELATED-PARTY DISCLOSURES
 

The board of directors of Tiger Brands Limited has given general declarations in terms of section 75 of the Companies Act on directors’ personal financial interests. These declarations indicate that certain directors hold positions of influence in other entities which are suppliers, service providers, customers and/or competitors of Tiger Brands Limited. Transactions conducted with these director-related customers and suppliers were on an arm’s length basis.

The sales to and purchases from related parties are made at normal market prices. Outstanding balances at the year end reflect the gross amount and are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash. This assessment is undertaken at each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which they operate. Given the ongoing liquidity and forex shortages experienced within Zimbabwe, the expected timing of receipt of the amounts owing from these related parties has been assessed. As a result, the outstanding balances from this entity have been fully impaired.
