The tires of all the models of Speed car 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also indicate that it is unlikely that a significant amendment to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn as the ministry of environment had put in a request for court intervention, should the tire production process continue.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. 

The following are the actual results of the tire division for the year ended 30 June 2020 01/07/202019- 28/02/2020 01/03/2020- 30/06/202  R R

The following information regarding the tire division is not included in the trial balance of the tire division.
