1 The credit risk relating to these subsidiary parties is considered very low and therefore seen as performing. There have been no changes to this assessment as these parties are continuously performing against contractual terms and are in a good liquidity position. The ECL has been considered to be immaterial.
2 Relates mainly to impairment allowances on Gravelotte Iron Ore Company Proprietary Limited of R53 million (2022: R52 million) and Exxaro Base Metals and Industrial Minerals Holdings Proprietary Limited of R3 million (2022: R4 million).
3 2023: Relates to an impairment allowance on Ferroland Grondtrust Proprietary Limited of R267 million (2022: R1 million). The lifetime ECL allowance basis was applied following a significant increase in credit risk.
