Impaired equity-accounted investments form part of the iOCO segment. The recoverable amount of equity-accounted investments classified as held for sale were determined based on their fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value is based on offers received.

Acron Group, Bessertec Group, Construction Computer Software Proprietary Limited, aSAY Group and Conso'System Consulting SARL were sold during the current financial year.

In 2019, equity accounted investments have been impaired by R268 million. R75 million of the impairments relate to EOH's investments in Turkey as a result of increased levels of political and macro-economic risk causing delays in project kick-offs and a deterioration in cash recovery rates. Margin erosion, deterioration in pipeline and reduced cash conversion rates triggered an impairment of R151 million in EOH's South American based ERP utilities investment. Impaired equity-accounted investments form part of the iOCO segment.

The equity-accounted investments are as follows:
