With the exception of the leases described below, operating leases are generally three to six years in duration, without
purchase options and in certain instances have escalation clauses of between 7,0% and 10% or are linked to the prime
rate of interest or consumer price index (CPI). Other contingent rentals are generally not applicable. One lease, relating
to fruit processing equipment, has a remaining contract period of two years, contingent rental linked to tons of fruit
processes and escalates based on the American CPI, amounts to R5,6 million (2014: R3,9 million).
