A total of P573, 000.00 was raised through sponsorships.

Protocol

Botswana Horse Society

In all equestrian sports, the welfare of the horse must be considered paramount.

Brief Outline of Activities

The Horse Society of Botswana (HSB) is affiliated with Federation Equestrian International (FEI) the world governing body for equestrian sport. The core values of the FEI are fair play, equality, complicity with the animal and respect for the environment and the horse. Equestrianism is one of the few sports where men and women compete on equal terms. It is also the only sport that involves two athletes, equine and human. It is the successful partnership between these two elements; the relationship of confidence and respect that is built up between them, that makes the sport so exceptional. Presently our members compete in the disciplines of Show Jumping, Dressage and Endurance.

The majority of our members are based in Gaborone and its surrounding areas, but we also have members in Lobatse, Francistown, Maun and Ghanzi. There are five (5) stable yards in the Gaborone and surrounding area and one (1) in Maun. While many of our members live their horses at stable yards, an equal number have their horses privately at home.

HSB has hosted and assisted in funding for a number of training clinics with different instructors for both dressage and show jumping as well as a number of competitions with different types of events taking place on various weekends throughout the year. Some of our riders have competed in South Africa at various events through the year, and have placed successfully in the results.

HSB continues to serve its members by encouraging all disciplines pertaining to Horse to meet and work together, and assist each other in every area possible, which results in the knowledge of the Horse being spread throughout Botswana as well as the welfare of the Horse being of paramount importance.

FEI World Jumping Challenge- A course is set by a course designer in Europe and we are then tasked with building the exact same course using the exact same equipment and fillers in the jumps, number of poles, height and distances. Our riders compete in 3different height categories over three competitions with the best two competition results taken for ranking. Our riders ride against the riders of different countries making up our zone, and the winner of the overall competition is invited to ride in Europe. This competition is very tough as the course designer sets the levels higher than what most of our riders compete at, so we are always striving to increase the numbers of athletes in this kind of international competition. We are successful in that we are having a growing number of athletes participating each year.

We have ensured that these international competitions take place at different venues, allowing the athletes and the officials afferent di scenery and varying conditions in which to compete under.

Details of valuation

The revaluation for both Plot 25108 and Plot 25109 was carried out on 06 July 2018. Revaluations were performed by an independent valuer, S L Sedie Bsc (Hons) MRICS MREIB Homesafe Properties valuers who are not connected to the Commission and have recent experience in location and category of the investment property being valued.

The valuation was based on open market value for existing use. Since the there is no substantial change in the economic scenarios between the balance sheet date and the valuation date the Commission has adopted these values. The calculations of these values are based on level3 hierarchy under IFRS 13.

The Commission, vide fixed period state grant on 29/08/1973 for an indefinite period owns Lot 1864 and measuring 106.7444 hectares. This piece of land was given to the Commission free of any cost vide a constitutional pronouncement by the Government of Botswana. However, the Commission, in accordance with its Constitution and the objective of the Government of Botswana, has leased large portions of this land to various sporting bodies and affiliates through Notarial Deeds, each of which give the affiliates right to use and develop the land for sporting purposes and ancillary activities. Though these land were leased as an operating lease, the affiliate sporting bodies treat it as a finance lease in their financial records, based on the substance of the lease. Basedthe on substance over form, the land so leased out to affiliates are not treated as investment property as there is neither an intent to hold these land for capital appreciation or earn market rentals. However, the Commission receives rental income from certain affiliates which are below market rates for such land. The fair value information of all such land leased out to the affiliates is not available.

Out of the above, Plot 25108 and Plot 25109 have been leased out to a commercial hotel for its operations and the portion so leased out is treated as investment property carried at fair value.

The valuation was based on open market value for existing use.

The Commission is leasing Plot 25108 and Plot 25109 to a local hotel based on the same lease terms as per the lease agreement that expired in 2015. Negotiations for a new lease agreement are ongoing. If there is no renewal of the lease agreement terms, the minimum lease payment for the next 12 months is expected to remain at P1,455,876.

22. Risk Management

Financial risk management

The Commission’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk {including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk credit risk and liquidity risk.

Risk management is carried out by a Commission finance department under policies approved by the Board. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and investment of excess liquidity.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that operations cannot be funded and financial commitments cannot be me timeously and cost effectively. The risk arises from both the difference between magnitude of assets and liabilities and the distortion in their maturities. Liquidity risk management deals with the overall profile of the financial statement position, the funding requirements of Commission and cash flows.

The Commission’s risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future commitments. The Commission manages liquidity risk through an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities.

The table below analyses the Commission’s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carryingbalances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

At 31 March, 2017 Less than 1 year Over 1 year Finance lease 1,038,366 2,058,985 Trade and other payables 18,821,487 -

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

The Commision’s interest rate risk arises from finance leases and overdrafts. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Commission to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Commission to fair value interest rate risk. Commission policy is to maintain approximately 60% of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments. During 2018 and 2017, the Commission’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the Pula.

At 31 March, 2018, if interest rates on Pula-denominated borrowings had been 0.5% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, loss for the year would have been P 16,863 (2017: P 15,920) lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

Credit risk

Credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits, cash equivalents and trade debtors. The Commission only deposits cash with major banks with high quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counter-party.

Impairment provisions for receivables have been assessed by the Board based on credit quality of couterparties. Financial assets exposed to credit risk at year end were as follows:

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The different levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Commission can access at measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Information about valuation techniques and inputs used to derive level 3 fair values

Investment property- residential houses

Residential houses with a fair value of P9 000 000 (2017: P 9 100 000) have been determined using an open market value for existing use.

Buildings

The buildings with a fair value of P 435 517 941 (2017:P 450 620 883) is unique in that it does not transact frequently in the open market.

The key unobservable inputs is the depreciated replacement cost used, as it is based on Davis Landon CCMI hand book on construction costs. This method takes into account the size or sitting capacity of the stadium (including ancillary facilities) together with the standards i.e FIFA OR PSL.

Fair value of financial instruments at amortised cost

Financial Instruments measured at amortised cost for which the fair value is disclosed he carrying amount of the following financial assets and liabilities is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value:

• Trade and other receivables • Trade and other payables • Bank overdraft. 24. Going concern

We draw attention to the fact that as at 31 March, 2018, the Commission had an accumulated losses of P (67,369,588) (2017: P48 695 521) and that the Commission’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by P 16,105,648.

The annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of iabilities,l contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.

The ability of the Commission to continue as a going concern is dependent on a number of factors. The most significant of these is that the Government of Botswana continues to provide adequate financial support to the Commission to fund its on going operations.
