2. Significant accounting policies

During the year the following standards have been adopted in these financial statements:

 
 
     IFRS 1                   First-time Adoption of International 
                               Financial Reporting Standards 
     IFRS 7                   Financial Instruments: Disclosures 
     IAS 1                    Presentation of Financial Statements 
     IAS 24                   Related Party Disclosure 
     IAS 32                   Classification of Rights Issues'

     IFRIC 14 (amended)       The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, 
                               Minimum Funding Requirements and their 
                               Interaction 
     IFRIC 19                 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities 
                               with Equity Instruments 
 
 

The adoption of these standards has had no material effect except for minor disclosure items.

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards and Interpretations relevant to the Group's operations that have not been applied in these financial statements were in issue but not yet effective or endorsed (unless otherwise stated):

 
     IFRS 7                    'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' 
                                Disclosures, Transfers of Financial 
                                Assets' (effective for annual periods 
                                beginning on or after 1 July 2011) 
                                - Amendment. The amendments will require 
                                improved disclosures of transfers of 
                                financial assets, including explaining 
                                the possible effects of any risks that 
                                may remain with the entity that transferred 
                                the assets. The amendments also require 
                                additional disclosures if a disproportionate 
                                amount of transfers are undertaken 
                                around the end of a reporting period.* 
     IFRS 9                    'Financial Instruments' (effective 
                                for annual periods beginning on or 
                                after 1 January 2015). The standard 
                                applies a consistent approach to classifying 
                                financial assets and replaces the numerous 
                                categories of financial assets in IAS 
                                39, each of which had its own classification 
                                criteria. It also results in one impairment 
                                method, replacing the numerous impairment 
                                methods in IAS 39 that arise from the 
                                different classification categories. 
     IFRS 10                   'Consolidated Financial Statements' 
                                (effective for annual periods beginning 
                                on or after 1 January 2013). The new 
                                standard will replace IAS 27 'Consolidated 
                                and Separate Financial Statements' 
                                and SIC 12 'Consolidation - Special 
                                Purpose Entities'. IFRS 10 retains 
                                the principle of control, but redefines 
                                control and provides further guidance 
                                on how to apply the control principal.* 
     IFRS 11                   'Joint Arrangements' (effective for 
                                annual periods beginning on or after 
                                1 January 2013). The new standard will 
                                replace IAS 31 'Interests in Joint 
                                Ventures' and SIC 13 'Jointly Controlled 
                                Entities - Non-monetary Contributions 
                                by Venturers' and establishes consistent 
                                principles for financial reporting 
                                for all types of jointly controlled 
                                arrangements. IFRS 11 retains a similar 
                                definition of joint control to IAS 
                                31, but clarifies that a joint arrangement 
                                will be either a 'joint operation' 
                                or a 'joint venture'.* 
     IFRS 12                   'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' 
                                (effective for annual periods beginning 
                                on or after 1 January 2013). The new 
                                standard applies to entities that have 
                                interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, 
                                associates and other unconsolidated 
                                structured entities and aims to make 
                                disclosures in respect of such entities 
                                consistent. 
     IFRS 13                   'Fair Value Measurement' (effective 
                                for annual periods beginning on or 
                                after 1 January 2013). The new standard 
                                provides guidance on measurement of 
                                fair value for financial reporting 
                                purposes where IFRSs require or permit 
                                fair value measurements or disclosures 
                                about fair value measurements.* 
     IAS 24                    'Related Party Disclosures' (effective 
                                for annual periods beginning on or 
                                after 1 January 2011). The revised 
                                standard simplifies the disclosure 
                                requirements for government-related 
                                entities, requires commitments outstanding 
                                at the reporting date to be disclosed 
                                and clarifies the definition of a related 
                                party. 
     IFRIC 14 (amended)        'The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, 
                                Minimum Funding Requirements and their 
                                Interaction' (effective 1 January 2011) 
                                - Amendment; Prepayments of a Minimum 
                                Funding Requirement. The amendment 
                                permits the benefit of early payment 
                                of contributions paid to cover minimum 
                                funding requirements to be treated 
                                as an asset. 
     IFRIC 19                  'Extinguishing Financial Liabilities 
                                with Equity Instruments' (effective 
                                for annual periods beginning on or 
                                after 1 July 2010). The IFRIC addresses 
                                the accounting for issues of equity 
                                instruments in order to settle, in 
                                full or in part, a financial liability. 
     Annual improvements 
      2010.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations as appropriate in future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the current Group.

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

The board has prepared forecasts based on the latest revised budgets of the cash generating entities that comprise the on-going business of the consolidated group.

Revenue forecasts are based on the expected impact of implementation of the operating plan, including requirements for working capital demanded by growth in revenue. Business unit overheads have been projected at a level required to deliver the operating model. To the extent that capital expenditure is required and approved, a mix of internal cash flow and external financing is planned. Allowance has been made for the impact of new facilities only to the extent that these are certain while a conservative view has been taken on the expected date of return of the Harare facility.

The impact on funding requirements of expansionary developments have not been included in the forecast as each opportunity will be analysed separately, including funding strategies, by the Board prior to approval.

These forecasts show cash outflows over the next twelve months. These outflows are forecast to be met in part by the subscription for Convertible Loan Notes by Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund 1 Ltd (please refer to note 33 Events after the reporting period for further details), proceeds from sale of AMI Aviation and, where possible, appropriate external funding in each territory to meet the needs of the local business unit. Restructure of the group's various balance sheets is also being considered to create further external borrowing capacity.
