NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 General information

Academy Press Plc. was incorporated in Nigeria as a private limited liability company on 28th July, 1964. By a special resolution, it became a public limited liability company on 22nd October, 1991. It offered its shares to the public in November, 1994 and these shares were listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange on 15th June, 1995.

The registered address of the company is 28-32, Industrial Avenue, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, Ilupeju, Lagos.

The principal activity of the company is the printing of educational and general books, commercial printing of diaries, labels, calendars, periodicals, annual reports, confidential and other printing works.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30th June, 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries.

The separate financial statements of the company for the Ist Quarter, June 2024 comprise those of the company only.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements are set out below. These accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

2.1 Statement of compliance

The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), and interpretations issued by the

International Financial Reporting Interpretations committee of IASB (together IFRS) that are effective at 31 March 2016 and requirements of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) of Nigeria and the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Act of Nigeria.

2.2 Basis of presentation

The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle under the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated and separate financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for the leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 or where in use in IAS 36.

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated and separate financial statements are presented in Nigerian Naira, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in Naira has been rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.

2.4 Use of estimates and judgments.

In the application of the company's accounting policies which are described in note 3 below, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions, are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.

The following are the critical judgments and estimates the management has made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in both the consolidated and separate financial statements.

  1. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the company, accounting for 31 % of the company's total assets. Therefore, the estimates and assumptions made to determine their carrying value and related depreciation are critical to the company's financial position and performance.

The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assets expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Increasing an assets expected life or it's residual value would result in the reduced depreciation charge in the statement of comprehensive income. The useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment are determined by management based on historical experience as well as anticipation of future events and circumstances which may impact their useful lives.

  1. Allowance for doubtful receivables

Judgment is exercised to make allowance for trade receivables doubtful of recovery by reference to the financial and other circumstances of the debtor in question. Based on objective evidence of impairment, the group makes a collective impairment allowance for doubtful debts.
