Impact Of COVID-19 On The Company's Business	Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business The COVID-19 pandemic did not impact the Company’s South African operations as severely during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the last four months of the year ended June 30, 2020. Nevertheless, as the date of this report, South Africa remains under various lockdown restrictions, which continue to affect the broader economy and these affect the Company to the extent they affect economic activity levels in South Africa. The broader implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and overall financial performance continue to remain uncertain. While the Company has not incurred significant disruptions thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, apart from the two months in April and May 2020 when loan origination was curtailed, the Company is unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity and duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact on the Company’s customers and other factors. The Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact on its business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

The guidance clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require an entity to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with U.S GAAP guidance immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The guidance also clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options an entity should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option.
