NOTES TO THE REVIEWED CONDENSED GROUP ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CORPORATE BACKGROUND
Exxaro, a public company incorporated in South Africa, is a diversified resources group with interests in the coal (controlled and non-controlled), energy (controlled and non-controlled), TiO2 (non-controlled) and ferrous (controlled and non-controlled) markets. These reviewed condensed group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020 (condensed annual financial statements) comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the group) and the group's interest in associates and joint ventures.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 | Statement of compliance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The condensed annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS (as issued by the IASB), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides (as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee) and Financial Pronouncements (as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council). As a minimum, preliminary reports must contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed annual financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of Mr PA Koppeschaar CA(SA), SAICA registration number: 00038621. The condensed annual financial statements should be read in conjunction with the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The condensed annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, share-based payments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value. The condensed annual financial statements of the Exxaro group were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 16 March 2021. |

2.2 | Judgements and estimates | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Management made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements and the key source of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019. In addition, certain new judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to the business combination have been applied as detailed in note 4. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.3 | Re-presentation of comparative information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The condensed group statement of comprehensive income (and related notes) for the year ended 31 December 2019 and the condensed group statement of financial position (and related notes) at 31 December 2019 have been re-presented as a result of the investment in Black Mountain no longer meeting the criteria to be classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale and a discontinued operation due to the suspension of the sales process in December 2020. The impact of the re-presentation of 2019 was as follows:

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER COMPLIANCE MATTERS
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed annual financial statements are consistent with those of the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019. A number of new or amended standards became effective for the current reporting period, however, the group did not have to change its accounting policies nor make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. In addition the group has adopted hedge accounting as described further in note 23.2.1 following on the Cennergi business combination.
3.1 | Impact of new, amended or revised standards issued but not yet effective |
New accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations issued which are relevant to the group, but not yet effective on 31 December 2020, have not been early adopted. The group continuously evaluates the impact of these standards and amendments and does not anticipate that there will be a material impact. |
|
3.2 | Carbon tax |
Following on the enactment of the Carbon Tax Act No 15 of 2019, as amended, Exxaro has licensed each of its emissions generating facilities with SARS, of which two subsidiaries only received their licenses in February 2021. The group has accrued R5.4 million (2019: R3.4 million) for Carbon tax which is payable on 29 July 2021. |
|
3.3 | Impact of COVID-19 on financial reporting |
The COVID-19 pandemic developed rapidly in 2020, not only in the world, but South Africa specifically has seen a significant number of infections being reported. Measures to prevent transmission of the virus included limiting the movement of people, restricting flights and other travel, temporarily closing businesses and schools and cancelling of public events. This had an immediate impact on the economy of South Africa. Measures taken to contain the virus affected economic activity, which in turn had implications on the financial reporting. The following key areas of financial reporting required specific attention for the year ended 31 December 2020: Revenue recognition Changes to terms of customer contracts and business practices during COVID-19 were evaluated and found not to influence the recognition of revenue. Inventory Inventory has been evaluated and written down to the lower of cost and net realisable value. An amount of R9 million on the write-down of inventory from cost to net realisable value has been recognised for 2020. Impairment of non-financial assets Impairment testing was based on the latest budgets which incorporated changes in parameters and economic outlooks revised for the effects of COVID-19. As at 31 December 2020, the investment in Insect Technology was fully impaired. Allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) When assessing the amount to be recognised for ECLs, management considered the impact that COVID-19 had on the risk of default as well as the expected loss rates. The trade and other receivables are categorised into the following categories corporate, public sector as well as small and medium enterprises. Where additional risk was identified the credit ratings of each counterparty were reviewed and adjusted accordingly with a corresponding adjustment to the PD and LGD rates. Although these adjustments resulted in higher ECL multipliers the ECL amount recognised for 2020 was not significant as the trade and other receivables outstanding balance was 14% lower than 2019 and certain of the long outstanding other receivable debtors settled their debt during the year. Taxation Exxaro benefited from the following tax relief measures announced:
Going concern assessment The going concern assessment was based on the latest budgets that incorporated changes in parameters and economic outlooks revised for the effects of COVID-19. Additional sensitivity analysis was performed as part of stress testing the going concern assumption. Exxaro also prudently increased its available borrowing facilities. The additional facility was available from 1 July 2020. |
4. BUSINESS COMBINATION: ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CENNERGI
4.1 | Overview of Cennergi | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Exxaro and Tata Power, through its wholly owned subsidiary Khopoli, formed a 50:50 JV to create Cennergi in March 2012. Exxaro has recognised its existing 50% interest in the JV as an equity-accounted investment. Cennergi is a company established and registered in South Africa operating in the renewable energy sector. Its business is the investigation of feasibility, development, ownership, operation, maintenance, acquisition and management of renewable energy projects in certain permitted territories. Cennergi owns two wind farms which were originally bid as part of Window 2 of the Department of Energy's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) namely:
Each of the wind farms has been set up in separate project companies (SPVs) of which Cennergi holds the controlling interest as illustrated in the diagram below: Cennergi forms part of the energy reportable segment. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.2 | Overview of the transaction | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tata Power decided to dispose of its 50% interest in Cennergi creating an opportunity for Exxaro to act on its ambitions of growing its presence in the energy sector, by acquiring the 50% interest owned by Khopoli. The acquisition contributes towards aligning the long-term environmental, sustainability, growth strategy and expansion of Exxaro into renewable energies and aligns the strategic intent of Exxaro of forming a second core business next to coal. Therefore, with effect from 1 April 2020, Exxaro acquired Khopoli's 50% share of the issued share capital of Cennergi, resulting in Exxaro obtaining sole control over Cennergi. The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages (step-up acquisition) in terms of IFRS 3 Business Combinations (IFRS 3). Given the existing relationship with Cennergi, the related cost associated with the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest was minimal, with an amount of R2.4 million being expensed through operating expenses. The fair value of the 100% controlling interest acquired and its attribution to the net identifiable assets acquired and resultant goodwill is summarised below:
The accounting for the acquisition of Cennergi in terms of IFRS 3 was provisionally reported on for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020. Subsequently, the following changes to the purchase price allocation were made:
The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements as at and for the six-month period ending 30 June 2021 will be re-presented for these changes. At 31 December 2020 the accounting for the acquisition of Cennergi has been concluded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.2.1 | Purchase consideration for newly acquired 50% interest | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The purchase consideration for the additional 50% interest acquired in Cennergi has been fully settled in cash. The purchase consideration represents the consideration transferred at its acquisition-date fair value. This is summarised into its components as follows:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.2.2 | Fair value of pre-existing 50% interest | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The pre-existing 50% interest in Cennergi forms part of the 100% controlling interest that Exxaro holds as of the acquisition date and is therefore fair valued immediately preceding the acquisition date. The gain resulting from remeasuring the pre-existing interest was recognised in profit or loss and is ultimately treated as a deemed disposal of the pre-existing interest. The deemed disposal and fair value recognition is summarised as follows:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.2.3 | Goodwill | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Goodwill represents the residual value between the fair value of the 100% controlling interest acquired, the net identifiable assets recognised and non-controlling interests recognised. The value of goodwill is attributed to the value of other items at acquisition date which are not separately identifiable to achieve recognition as intangible assets. The goodwill recognised is attributed mainly to:
The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. An impairment assessment was performed on 31 December 2020 for the goodwill acquired. The assessment resulted in no impairment charge for the year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.2.4 | Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Cennergi as at the acquisition date are summarised as follows:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.2.5 | Non-controlling interests | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The arrangements in place with the minority shareholders of Tsitsikamma SPV and Amakhala SPV represent a fully vested share-based payment arrangements under IFRS 2. The arrangements are viewed as in substance share options with the minorities, as the minorities are not exposed to downside risk nor benefit, until such time that the underlying shareholder financing of the arrangements has been settled. For the purposes of the acquisition Cennergi, as the acquiree, has outstanding share-based payment transactions that Exxaro, as the acquirer, did not replace, cancel or exchange as part of the acquisition. The share-based payment transactions have vested and therefore the share-based payment transactions of Cennergi are accounted for as part of the non-controlling interests in the Cennergi group acquisition and are measured at their market-based measure in terms of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (IFRS 2). |

4.3 | Performance contribution to Exxaro’s results | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.4 | Key judgements, assumptions and estimates applied to the business combination transaction | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.4.1 | Fair values of material assets acquired | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following material assets were fair valued applying the following valuation techniques and key assumptions:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4.4.2 | Non-controlling interests | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Management view the share-based payment transactions with the BEE minority shareholders of the SPVs as in substance share options that are equity-settled in terms of IFRS 2. These options were not yet exercised at the acquisition date.

5. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the reportable operating segments. The chief operating decision maker is the group executive committee. Segments reported are based on the group's different commodities and operations.
During the second half of 2020, the chief operating decision maker, in line with reporting trends and better disclosure, revised the allocation of corporate costs to the segments since emphasis is placed on controllable costs. Indirect corporate costs are no longer allocated between the different segments but now reported on a gross level in the other reportable segment. The comparative segmental information has been represented to reflect this change.
The segments, as described below, offer different goods and services, and are managed separately based on commodity, location and support function grouping. The group executive committee reviews internal management reports on these operating segments at least quarterly.
Coal
The coal reportable segment is split between commercial (Waterberg and Mpumalanga), tied and other operations. Commercial Mpumalanga operations include a 50% (2019: 50%) investment in Mafube (a joint venture with Anglo) and a 49% (2019: 49%) equity interest in Tumelo. The 10.26% (2019: 10.36%) effective equity interest in RBCT is included in the other coal operations. The coal operations produce thermal coal, metallurgical coal and SSCC.
The export revenue and related export cost items have been allocated between the coal reportable segments based on the origin of the initial coal production.
Energy
On 1 April 2020, Exxaro obtained 100% control over Cennergi (2019: 50% joint control) (refer note 4 for detail of the business combination). The energy reportable segment also includes an equity interest of 28.59% (2019: 28.59%) in LightApp, as well as an equity interest of 22% (2019: 22%) in GAM.
Ferrous
The ferrous reportable segment mainly comprises of the 20.62% (2019: 20.62%) equity interest in SIOC (located in the Northern Cape province) reported within the other ferrous reportable segment, as well as the FerroAlloys operation (referred to as Alloys). The Alloys operation manufactures ferrosilicon.
TiO2
The TiO2 reportable segment comprises a 10.26% (2019: 10.38%) equity interest in Tronox Holdings plc, which was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 September 2017 (refer note 17), and a 26% (2019: 26%) equity interest in Tronox SA (both South African-based operations).
Other
The other reportable segment is split between the base metals and other reportable segments. The 26% (2019: 26%) equity interest in Black Mountain (located in the Northern Cape province) is included in the base metals reportable segment. The other reportable segment comprises an equity interest in Insect Technology of 25.85% (2019: 25.86%), the Ferroland agricultural operation and the corporate office which renders services to operations and other customers. The 15% (2019: 15%) equity interest in Curapipe was disposed of on 9 November 2020.

ECC operation
On 31 December 2020, the ECC operation, met all the criteria in terms of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (IFRS 5) to be classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale (refer note 17). An impairment assessment in terms of IAS 36 Impairment of Non-current Assets (IAS 36) was required to be performed. The recoverable amount was determined to be its fair value less costs of disposal (which represents the discounted value of the offer price negotiated with the proposed buyer to the sales transaction).
Insect Technology
During 2020, Exxaro's investment in Insect Technology was no longer considered to be a strategic fit for Exxaro. Consequently Exxaro will not participate in any further fund raising.
Insect Technology was unable to raise funding for pre-commissioning, research and development as well as operational expenses. The delays in the fund raising had an impact on working capital requirements and the company found itself in severe financial distress. Due to the uncertainty of whether Insect Technology will continue as a going concern, a decision was taken to impair the investment.
On 31 December 2020, the equity interest in Insect Technology was impaired to nil.
Curapipe
The investment in Curapipe was identified not to be a strategic fit for Exxaro and as a result, Exxaro embarked on a divestment process during 2020 for the total equity interest in Curapipe. On 30 June 2020, the investment in Curapipe was impaired to US$1. Subsequently, the investment was sold on 9 November 2020.

17. NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE
ECC operation The ECC operation was identified as non-core to the future objectives of Exxaro. As a result, Exxaro embarked on a divestment process of the total equity interest in ECC. The ECC operation is reported as part of the coal Mpumalanga reportable segment and does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation since it does not represent a separate major line of business, nor does it represent a major geographical area of operation. Tronox Holdings plc In September 2017, the directors of Exxaro formally decided to dispose of the investment in Tronox Limited. As part of this decision, Tronox Limited was required to publish an automatic shelf registration statement of securities of well-known seasoned issuers which allowed for the conversion of Exxaro's Class B Tronox Limited ordinary shares to Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares. From this point, it was concluded that the Tronox Limited investment should be classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale as all the criteria in terms of IFRS 5 were met. As of 30 September 2017, the Tronox Limited investment, totalling 42.66% of Tronox Limited's total outstanding voting shares, was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale and the application of the equity method ceased. Subsequently, Exxaro sold 22 425 000 Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares during October 2017. During May 2019, Tronox Holdings plc repurchased The Tronox Holdings plc investment is presented within the total assets of the TiO2 reportable segment and is presented as a discontinued operation (refer note 6). Subsequent to year-end, the remaining 14 729 280 shares were sold on 1 March 2021 (refer note 27). EMJV As part of the ECC acquisition in 2015, Exxaro acquired non-current liabilities held-for-sale relating to the EMJV. The transaction was conditional on a section 43 consent required in terms of the MPRDA for transfer of the legal environmental liabilities and rehabilitation obligations to Scinta Energy Proprietary Limited. On 31 December 2020, all conditions precedent to the transaction were met and the transaction became effective. The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as non-current assets and liabilities held-for-sale areas follows: |

23.1 | Fair value hierarchy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:
Reconciliation of financial assets and financial liabilities within Level 3 of the hierarchy:
Transfers The group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the transfer has occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 nor between Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuation process applied The fair value computations of the investments are performed by the group's corporate finance department, reporting to the finance director, on a six-monthly basis. The valuation reports are discussed with the chief operating decision maker and the audit committee in accordance with the group's reporting governance. Current derivative financial instruments Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on market quotes. These quotes are assessed for reasonability by discounting estimated future cash flows using the market rate for similar instruments at measurement date. Environmental rehabilitation funds Level 2 fair values for debt instruments held in the environmental rehabilitation funds are based on quotes provided by the financial institutions at which the funds are invested at measurement date. These financial institutions invest in instruments which are listed. Interest rate swaps Level 2 fair values for interest rate swaps are based on valuations provided by the financial institutions with whom the swaps have been entered into and take into account credit risk. The valuations are assessed for reasonability by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on observable ZAR swap curves. |

23.2.1 | Accounting policy: Hedge accounting | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The group has designated as cash flow hedges, and found to be effective, its interest rate swaps that cover a portion of the interest rate cash flows on certain of the project financing interest-bearing borrowings. At inception of the hedge relationship, the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedged transactions as well as the economic relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items (including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items) is documented. The effectiveness of the hedging instrument offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is assessed and documented at inception and on an ongoing basis. The hedge relationship is determined to be effective when all of the following requirements are met:
If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is adjusted (ie rebalances the hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. The full fair value of a derivative designated and found to be effective as a hedging instrument is classified as:
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in OCI and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity, but limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within other operating expenses. Amounts previously recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item, namely finance costs. Furthermore, in cases where it is expected that some or all of the loss accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve will not be recovered in the future, that amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria (after rebalancing, if applicable). This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. Any gain or loss recognised in OCI and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve at that time remains in equity and is reclassified to profit or loss when the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified immediately to profit or loss. |

23.2.2 | Financial risk management: Market risk management – interest rate risk management | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows and deposits funds at floating interest rates on the money market and extended bank borrowings. The group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with floating rates, which expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. The risk is managed by undertaking controlled management of the interest structures of the investments and borrowings, maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating interest rate facilities in line with the interest rate expectations. The group also uses interest rate swaps and interest rate forwards to manage the interest rate risk exposure. As part of the Cennergi business combination the group has assumed Cennergi's borrowings and interest rate swaps as financial liabilities. The contractual terms of these borrowings required interest rate swaps (hedging instruments) to be entered into to swap out the floating interest rate of the underlying project financing (hedged items) for a fixed interest rate. This was required to fix the future expected returns given the long-term nature of the project financing. The group amended its risk management strategy as follows:
Project financing The group is exposed to the risk of variability in future interest payments on the project financing, attributable to fluctuations in 3-month JIBAR. The designated hedged item is the group of forecast floating interest rate cash flows arising from the project financing, up to the notional amount of each interest rate swap, over the term of the hedging relationship. The notional amounts per interest rate swap match up to the designated exposure being hedged. Where all relevant criteria are met, hedge accounting is applied to remove the accounting mismatch between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This will effectively result in recognising interest expense at a fixed interest rate for the hedged project financing. Hedge effectiveness: The group has assumed certain interest rate swaps from its business combination with Cennergi that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rates, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and notional amounts. The group does not hedge 100% of its project financing, therefore the hedged item is identified as a proportion of the outstanding project financing up to the notional amount of the interest rate swaps. As all critical terms matched during the year, there is an economic relationship. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments, to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. Hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps is assessed frequently. It may occur due to:
The recognised ineffectiveness in 2020 amounted to R57 million and is mainly as a result of the DVA. Credit valuation adjustments are not considered due to the terms of the underlying loans, which allow for set-off. The swap contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable every six months. The settlement dates coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. The following tables detail the financial position and performance of the interest rate swaps outstanding at the end of the reporting period and their related hedged items.
The interest rate swaps settle on a bi-annual basis. The group settles the difference between the fixed
and floating interest rate (3-month JIBAR) on a net basis. The
Hedging reserves The hedging reserve relates to the fair value movements on cash flow hedges of interest rate swaps. The reserve is included within the financial instruments revaluation reserve on the statement of changes in equity, which includes the group's share of movements in its equity-accounted investees' hedging reserves.

25. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The group entered into various sale and purchase transactions with associates and joint ventures during the ordinary course of business. These transactions were subject to terms that are no less, nor more favourable than those arranged with independent third parties.
26. GOING CONCERN
Based on the latest results for the year ended 31 December 2020, the latest board-approved budget for 2021, as well as the available banking facilities and cash generating capability, Exxaro satisfies the criteria of a going concern.
27. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Details of the final dividend are provided in note 12.
Subsequent to 31 December 2020, the following notable events have occurred:
Tronox SA flip-in
On 23 February 2021, Tronox Holdings plc exercised its "flip-in" call option over Exxaro's 26% shareholding in Tronox SA, for which Tronox Holdings plc delivered
7 246 035 newly-issued Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares to Exxaro on 24 February 2021. With these additional Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares, Exxaro owned 21 975 315 Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares, representing approximately 14.6% of Tronox Holdings plc's total outstanding voting shares.
Tronox Holdings plc disposal
On 24 February 2021, Exxaro announced the commencement of a public offering in the United States of up to 17 million ordinary shares in Tronox Holdings plc. Furthermore, Exxaro granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 2.55 million additional Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares from Exxaro at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
On 25 February 2021, Exxaro announced the pricing of its upsized offering of 19 108 970 Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares at a public offering price of US$18.25 per share for a total net proceeds of approximately US$332 million (approximately R4.81 billion), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, Exxaro granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2 866 345 Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares (Option shares). Settlement was expected to occur on 1 March 2021. Subsequent to the sale, Exxaro's ownership in Tronox Holdings plc would have reduced to the Option shares, which represented approximately 1.9% of Tronox Holdings plc outstanding voting shares.
On 2 March 2021, Exxaro announced that the underwriters fully exercised the Option. Following the disposal on 1 March 2021 Exxaro no longer owned any Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares.
Exxaro has therefore concluded its stated strategy to monetise its stake in Tronox over time in the best possible manner taking into account prevailing market conditions. The funds from the disposal of the Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares will be used to repay debt, invest in renewable energy projects and make distributions to shareholders in accordance with Exxaro's capital allocation framework.
South African corporate tax rate change
On 24 February 2021, the Minister of Finance announced a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 28% to 27%. This will be effective for years of assessment commencing on or after 1 April 2022.
The directors are not aware of any other significant matter or circumstance arising after the reporting period up to the date of this report, not otherwise dealt with in this report.
