Depreciation rate (straight-line method) - 2%
Karas Investments has revalued its land and buildings on 28 February 2019 to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the amount that would be determined using the fair value at the reporting date. Karas Investments engages J&J surveyors, an accredited independent valuator, to determine the fair value of its land and buildings. The market values are determined with reference to prices in an active market. Depreciation for the year is based on the most recent valuations as at the end of that specific year. Accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation are eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Revaluation surpluses will only be realized when the related assets are derecognized. Investment properties are accounted for by means of the fair value model. It is the policy of the company to disclose land and buildings as separate classes. Walvis Bay warehouse Page 11 of 26

Karas Investments owns a warehouse that is used as a workshop and also to store spare parts as well as idle machinery and vehicles. The piece of land on which the warehouse is situated is leased under an operating lease. The warehouse was obtained on 1 July 2020 at a cost of N$ 1 200 000. The warehouse is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 years and is subsequently measured according to the revaluation model. The first revaluation of the warehouse to its fair value was performed on 30 June 2020. Karas Investments decided to rent their warehouse to a company in need of storage space at an annual rental of N$120 000 from 1 May 2021, since Karas Investments had to move all their operations to Swakopmund.

The tires of all the models of Speedcar Namibia cc are handmade from rubber wastes in Namibia by the Namibian clean waste re-use division of Speeds Are Us (Pty) Ltd. The tire division has its own operational manager and financial accounts. The cash flows and operations of the seat division can be clearly distinguished from the rest of Speeds Are Us (Pty) Ltd.

The board of directors of Speeds Are Us (Pty) Ltd decided on 28 February 2020 on a director‟ meeting to implement a formal plan to close down the seat division. The company decided to import tires from South Africa, to help in the fight of air pollution, in the tire production process. A task team was appointed on 28 February 2020 to begin with an active marketing program to close the tire division. The minutes of the meeting clearly indicate that the business operations must be suspended before 30 June 2020. The minutes also indicate that it is unlikely that a significant amendment to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn as the ministry of environment had put in a request for court intervention, should the tire production process continue. On 28 February 20.11 the closure of the seat division qualified as a discontinued operation in terms of IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
