Impact of COVID-19
The AH Vest manufacturing facility and depots across the country were classified as
essential services and continued to operate during the lockdown period.
The onset of COVID-19 caused significant disruption to our business, resulting in
supply chain disruptions from supplier closures, difficulties in importing some key raw
materials encountered by our suppliers, as the world supply chain came to a
standstill. However, these problems were quickly resolved as suppliers got back into
operation. Post the complete national lockdown in April, monthly trading results
significantly improved.
Our primary focus during COVID-19 has been the health and wellness of our staff,
the safety of our customers, and the protection of jobs for our employees and those
of our supplier’s employees. We also undertook numerous initiatives that were
targeted at ensuring continuity of operations, safeguarding liquidity, and
strengthening the balance sheet. We focused on generating and preserving cash
including tight working capital management, the delay of non-essential capital
expenditure and costs. Unfortunately, we did not manage to meet customer
demand in full as the demand was over-whelming and our working capital was
severely constrained.
The company has considered the JSE COVID-19 related guidance notes, as well as
the related educational documents prepared by SAICA regarding the impact of
COVID-19 on the application of IFRS, in the preparation of these financial
statements. Specific disclosure has been provided in the notes to these financial
statements, however, there has been no material impact. In addition, disclosure has
been provided regarding estimates made in applying IFRS, as well as financial
instrument risk disclosures, none of which have been materially impacted by COVID-
19.
