The group exchanged its 65% interest in Garden City Motors (GCM) for additional shares in the NMI Durban South Motors business (NMI) effective 1 March 2008. The group’s shareholding in NMI increased from 50% to 51,18% as a result of this transaction. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of NMI amounting to R4 million is attributable to gaining control of the business.

The business was previously jointly controlled and therefore equity accounted in the group results up to 29 February 2008.

The NMI result has been fully consolidated in the group results effective 1 March 2008.

The net profit from NMI since date of acquisition was R5 million. The disposal of GCM to NMI had no profit or loss effect for the group. If the above transaction had taken place at the beginning of the current period, the group would have reported total revenue of
R22 912 million and net profit of R1 050 million for the six months to March 2008.
