    7. Critical Estimates and Judgments

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the financial statements in the period the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the Company's financial statements therefore present the financial position and results fairly.

      The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

      Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing component parts of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognises the replaced part, and recognises the new part with its own associated useful life and depreciation.

      Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its costs are recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Land is carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss.When the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

      1. Subsequent Costs

        Cost arising subsequent to the acquisition of an asset are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.

      2. De-recognition

        Items of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

      3. Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment

        Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write-off assets over their estimated useful lives. Land and assets under construction (work-in-progress) are not depreciated.

        Depreciation starts when an asset is ready for use and ends when derecognised or classified as held for sale. Depreciation does not cease when the asset becomes idle or retired from use unless the asset is fully depreciated.

        AssetUseful life Land Lease period

        Buildings & Infrastructure 15 to 40 years

        Shops 5 to 30 years

        Borehole & Tanks 10 years

        Furniture & Fittings 10 years

        Generating Sets 5 years

        Machine Components 4 years

        Plant, Machinery & Equipment 10 years

        Motor Vehicles 4 years

        Computer Equipment 2 years

      4. Asset Useful Lives and Residual Values

        Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values where appropriate. The actual useful lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually. In reassessing asset useful lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.

      5. Provision for Dismantling/Restoration Cost

        The provisions are computed by reference to estimates of future anticipated dismantling costs and the corresponding amounts added to the asset under property, plant and equipment for assets measure using the cost model. For assets measured using the revaluation model, subsequent changes in the liability are recognised in revaluation reserves through OCI to the extent of any credit balances existing in the revaluation surplus reserve in respect of that asset. The present values are determined using pre-tax rate which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation.

        Provisions are recognised whenever a legal or constructive obligation arising from past events, the outflow of resources to settle the liability can be estimated reliably. Provisions are discounted if the effect is material. However, no provision was made in the financial statements.

      6. Related Parties (IAS 24)

        Related parties include the parent Company and other related entities. Directors, their close family members and any employee who is able to exert a significant influence on the operating policies of the Company are also considered to be related parties. Key management personnel are also regarded as related parties. Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.

    2. Intangible Assets

      I Recognition and Measurement

      Software acquired is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

      ii Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the software from the date it is available for use. The estimated useful life for the current and comparative years of significant items of intangible assets, Odoo ERP is five (5) years.

      1. Derecognition of Intangible Assets

        An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

      2. Subsequent Expenditure

        Subsequent expenditure on computer software and development cost are capitalised only when there is future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

      3. Amortisation

        Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this must closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

      4. Non-Current Assets held for Sale

        Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal Group, are re-measured in accordance with the Company's accounting policies. Thereafter the assets, or disposal Group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

        Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

    3. Taxation

      The income tax expense represents the estimated sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

      1. Current Tax

        The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

      2. Deferred Tax

        Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

        Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

        The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

        Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off.

      3. Tax Exposure

        In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

    4. Inventory

      Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is generally determined on a weighted average basis. Costs that are incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

      1. Raw Materials: Purchase cost on a weighted average cost basis.

      2. Finished Goods and Work-in-Progress: Cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

      3. Other Inventories and Spares: The cost of other inventories is based on weighted average. Spare parts are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Value reduction and usage of spare parts are charged to statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

      Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

      The production costs comprise direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate of manufacturing fixed and variable overheads. Allowance is made for obsolete, slow moving or defective items where appropriate.

      1. Treatment of Goods in Transit

        Goods in transit are recognised in the books as soon as significant risk and rewards of ownership is transferred to the customer (date of shipment).

    5. Receivables

      1. Trade Receivables

        Trade receivables are carried at the original amount due from customers, which is considered to be fair value, less allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts, where significant doubt about collectability exists, including an analysis of historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Significant debt balances are provided for based on the criteria mentioned above and non-significant debts are tested collectively for impairment. Bad debts are written off when identified as uncollectible, and are included within other operating expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously provided for are credited to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

    6. Financial Instruments

      Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity, investments and available for sale. The classification is determined by management at initial recognition and depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

      Financial instruments carried at the financial position date include the loans and receivables, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and accounts payables. Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition financial instruments are measured as described below.

      1. Financial Assets

        The classification of financial assets depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The financial assets carried at statement of financial position date are classified as 'loans and receivables'.

        Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those that the Company intends to sell in the short term or that it has designated as fair value through profit or loss or available for sale. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.

        Loans and Receivables

        Loans and receivables include loans to staff and are initially measured at cost but subsequently at Amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment. Loans are subject to regular and thorough review as to their collectability and as to available collateral. In the event that any loan is deemed not fully recoverable, impairment is made to reflect the shortfall between the carrying amount and the present value of the expected cash flows. Interest income on loans receivable is recognised by applying the effective interest rate. The long term portion of loans receivable is included on the statement of financial position under long-term loans receivable and the current portion under current portion of long-term loans receivable. However, where the impact of measuring these loans at Amortised cost is not significant, the receivables are carried at cost.

        Financial Assets Measured at Amortised Costs:-Trade and Other Receivables

        Financial assets measured at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets measured at amortised cost (including [trade and other receivables, and cash and bank balances) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cash balances with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown as borrowings in current liabilities.

        Impairment of Financial Assets Measured at Amortised Cost:-

        Trade and Other Receivables

        Financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. The amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted (if significant) at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Any uncollectible amount is written off against the allowance account while subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Previously recognised impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

      2. De-recognition of Financial Assets

        Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when the Company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

      3. Financial Liabilities

        The Company's financial liabilities at statement of financial position date include Borrowings and Trade payables (excluding VAT and employee related payables). These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at Amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are included in current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the statement of financial position date. However, where the impact of measuring trade payable at amortised cost is insignificant, trade payables are carried at cost.

        Trade Payables

        Trade payables are stated at their original invoiced value. If there is an agreement that interest or premium be paid, it will be calculated and added to the initial amount.

        Borrowings

        Borrowings, inclusive of transaction cost, are recognised initially at fair value. Borrowings are subsequently stated at Amortised costs using the effective interest rate method, any difference between proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.

        Borrowing Costs

        Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

      4. Impairment of Financial Assets

        All financial assets, except for those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.

    7. Leases

      The Company has adopted IFRS 16, "Leases" as issued by the IASB in July 2014 with a date of transition of 1 January 2019, which resulted in changes in accounting policies. As permitted by the transitional provision of the standard, the Company may choose the modified retrospective approach to the application of IFRS 16. This approach allows the Company not to restate comparative financial information. The major impact of the adoption of this standard is that the Company will be required to capitalize all leases (i.e. recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability) with the exemption of certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. However, this standard does not change the accounting for leases of the Company in the year under review.

      Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

      Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company's general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

      Other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised on the Company's statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

      Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

    8. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations to Standards

      The following new standard, amendment to standard and interpretation are effective for the period under review.

      1. IFRS 16 - Leases

        IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC - 27: Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customers ('lease') and the supplier ('lessor'). IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as operating leases or finance leases as required by IAS 17 and introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:

        • Assets and Liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and

        • Depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the profit or loss.

          For the lessor, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those types of leases differently.

      2. Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation the amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a prepayment feature meets the Solely Payment of Principal and Interest (SPPI) condition, the party exercising the option may pay or receive reasonable compensation for the prepayment irrespective of the reason for prepayment. In other words, prepayment features with negative compensation do not automatically fail SPPI. The amendments have no impact on the Company's accounts.

      3. Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

        The amendment clarifies that IFRS 9, including its impairment requirements, applies to long term interests. Furthermore, in applying IFRS 9 to long term interests, an entity does not take into account adjustments to their carrying amount required by IAS 28 (i.e., adjustments to the carrying amount of long term interests arising from the allocation of losses of the investee or assessment of impairment in accordance with IAS 28). The amendments have no impact on the Company's accounts.

    9. Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015 - 2017 Cycle

      1. IAS 12 Income Taxes

        The amendments clarify that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised the transactions that generated the distributable profits. This is the case irrespective of whether different tax rates apply to distributed and undistributable profits.The amendments have no impact on the financial statements.

      2. IAS 23 Borrowing Costs

        The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset are ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalization rate on general borrowings. The amendments have no impact on the financial statements.

      3. IFRS 3 Business Combinations

        The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity applies the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages, including re-measuring its Previously Held Interest (PHI) in the joint operation at fair value. The PHI to be remeasured includes any unrecognised assets, liabilities and goodwill relating to the joint operation. The amendments have no impact on the financial statements.

      4. IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

        The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when a party that participates in, but such a joint operation, the entity does not re-measure its PHI in the joint operation. All the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019 and generally require prospective application. Earlier application is permitted.

        The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of the amendments in the future will have an impact on the financial statements.

    10. Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

      The amendments clarify that the past service cost (or of the gain or loss on settlement) is calculated by measuring the defined benefit liability (asset) using updated assumptions and comparing benefits offered and plan assets before and after the plan amendment (or curtailment or settlement) but ignoring the effect of the assets ceiling (that may arise when the defined benefit plan is in a surplus position). IAS 19 is now clear that the change in the effect of the asset ceiling that may result from the plan amendment (or curtailment or settlement) is determined in a second step and is recognised in the normal manner in other comprehensive income.

      The paragraphs that relate to measuring the current service cost and the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) have also been amended. An entity will now be required to use the updated assumptions from this measurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan. In the case of the net interest, the amendments make it clear that for the period post plan amendment, the net interest is calculated by multiplying the net defined benefit liability (asset) as remeasured under IAS 19 with the discount rate used in the remeasurement (also taking into account the effect of contributions and benefit payments on the net defined benefit liability (asset).

      The amendments are applied prospectively. They apply only to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements that occur on or after the beginning of the annual period in which the amendments to IAS 19 are first applied. The amendments to IAS 19 must be applied to annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019, but they can be applied earlier if an entity elects to do so.

      The Directors of the Company does not anticipate that the application of these amendments in the future will have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

    11. IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

      The interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12. The interpretation does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The interpretation has not impact on the Company's accounts.

    12. New Standards, Amendments and Interpretation not yet Effective

      Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published that are not yet effective for the financial period ended 31st October 2023 and have not been early adopted by the Company. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is as stated below:

      1. IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts effective for Annual Periods beginning 1st January 2022

        The new Standards establish the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts and supersede IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The Standard outlines a

        General Model, which is modified for insurance contracts with direct participation features, described as the Variable Fee Approach. The General Model is simplified if certain criteria are met by measuring the liability for remaining coverage using the Premium Allocation Approach. The General Model will use current assumptions to estimate the amount, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows and it will explicitly measure the cost of that uncertainty, it takes into account market interest rates and the impact of policy holders' options and guarantees. The implementation of the Standards is likely to bring significant changes to an entity's processes and systems, and will require much greater coordination between many functions of the business, including finance, actuarial and Information Technology.

      2. The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (revised)

        The revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (the Conceptual Framework) is not a standard, and none of the concepts override those in any standard or any requirements in a standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the Board in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies if there is no applicable standards in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2020.

    13. Measurement of Fair Values

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). in some cases, if the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability is categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarch at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair value is included in Financial Instruments - Financial Risk Management and Fair Values (Note 30).

  1. Revenue

    This relates to the sale of goods to customers, exclusive of value added tax and less any discounts. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is possible, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

  2. Sales of Goods

    Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.

  3. Income Recognition

    Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty.

  4. Interest Income

    For all financial instruments measured at Amortised cost and interest bearing assets classified as available for sale, interest income or expenses is recorded using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life or the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Interest income is included in finance income in the income statement.

  5. Interest Expenses

    Interest expenses on bank overdrafts, related party loans, borrowings and impairment losses recognised on financial liabilities are included under finance costs of the Company.

  6. Cost of Sales

    This item represents the full absorption cost of products sold. The full absorption cost comprises cost of direct materials, labour and the proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating capacity and borrowing costs. The costs of raw materials and consumables are calculated based on the weighted average cost principle.

  7. Post Employment Benefits:

    Pension Fund Scheme

    In accordance with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act, 2014 the Company has instituted a Contributory Pension Scheme for its employees, where both the employees and the Company contribute 8% and 10% respectively. The contribution is based on total employee emoluments (basic salary, housing and transport allowances). The company's contribution under the scheme is charged to the income statement while employee contributions are funded through payroll deductions.

    The Company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

    1. Termination Benefit

      Termination Benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:

      1. When the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits, and

      2. When the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS37 and involves the payment of termination benefits.

      In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting year are discounted to their present value.

    2. Productivity Incentive and Bonus Plans

      All full time staff are eligible to participate in the productivity incentive scheme. The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and productivity incentive, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company's shareholders after certain adjustment.

    3. Contingent Liabilities

      A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company, or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

      Contingent liabilities are only disclosed and not recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position. If the likelihood of an outflow of resources is remote, the possible obligation is neither a provision nor a contingent liability and no disclosure is made.

  8. Provisions General

    Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be

    required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expenses relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

    If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

    1. Restructuring Provisions

Restructuring provisions are only recognised when general recognition criteria for provisions are fulfilled. Additionally, the company needs to have in place a detailed formal plan about the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs and appropriate timeline. The people affected have a valid expectation that the restructuring is being carried out or the implementation has been initiated already.

  1. Foreign Currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the company at the functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

All differences are taken to the income statement with the exception of all monetary items that form part of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and Credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on transaction of non-monetary items is recognised in line with the gain or loss of the item that gave rise to the transaction difference (translation differences on items whose gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss respectively).

Employment of Disabled Persons

It is the policy of the company that there should be no discrimination in considering applications for employment including those for disabled persons. As at 31 July 2025, there were three disabled persons in the employment of the company.

  1. Health, Safety at Work and Welfare of Company's Employees

    Health and safety regulations are in force within the company and employees are aware of existing regulations. The company provides subsidy to all levels of employees for medical, transportation, etc.

  2. Earnings per Share

    The company presents basic earnings per share for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Adjusted earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for the bonus shares issued. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held (if any), for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

  3. Share Capital

    The Company has only one class of shares; Ordinary Shares. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. When new shares are issued, they are recorded in share capital at their par value. The excess of the issue price over the par value is recorded in the share premium reserve.

  4. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

    Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are considered for impairment at least annually. Property, plant and equipment, other intangible assets, available for sale investments and non-current assets held for sale are considered for impairment if there is a reason to believe that impairment may be necessary.

    Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability of the asset itself and where it is a component of a larger economic entity, the viability of the unit itself. Future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets are projected, taking into account market conditions and the expected useful lives of assets. The present value of these cash flows, determined using an appropriate discount rate, is compared to the current net asset value and, if lower, the assets are impaired to the present value. If the information to project future cash flows is not available or could not be reliably estimated management uses the best alternative information available to estimate a possible impairment.

    An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversible. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or Amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

  5. Segment Reporting

Segment results that are reported to the chief operating decision maker include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly of head office expenses, and tax assets and liabilities.

A segment is a distinguishable component of the company that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment) which is subject to result and returns that are different from those of other segments. Segment information is required to be presented in respect of the company's business and geographical segment where applicable. Nigeria is the company's primary geographical segment as all the company's income is derived in Nigeria.

  1. New and amended IFRS standards

    Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is as stated below:

  2. New and amended IFRS standards that are effective for the current year

    1. Amendments to IAS 16 property plant and Equipment - proceeds before intended Use

      The Company has adopted the amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment for the first time in the current year. The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced before that asset is available for use, i.e. proceeds while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Consequently, an entity recognises such sales proceeds and related costs in profit or loss. The entity measures the cost of those items in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories.

    2. Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

      The Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 cycle make amendments to the following standards:

      • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - clarifies which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities.

      • IFRS 16 Leases - amendment of illustrative example 13 to remove the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements, to remove any confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.

  3. New and revised IFRS Standards in issue but not yet effective

No new standards or amendments to existing standards, effective in 2025, will have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture.

  • Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current.

  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies.

  • Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates.

  • Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction.

  • IFRS S1 general requirement for disclosure for sustainability information.

  • IFRS S2 climate related disclosure.

  1. Financial Risk Management Objectives

    The Company's Board of Directors oversees Risk Management to ensure that Financial Risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company's policies for Risk. Risk Management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect the changes in market conditions and the company's activities. Sensitivity analysis provide the appropriate information to monitor the net underlying Financial Risks. The company does not trade in Financial instruments, nor does it take on speculative or open positions through the use of derivatives.

  2. Market Risk

    Market Risk is the Risk that the fair values of Financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Financial instruments held by the company that are affected by market Risk are principally the non-derivative Financial instruments which include trade and other Receivables, Cash and bank balances and trade and other payables), bank overdraft and Loans. Market Risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis where applicable.

  3. Industry Risk

    The Nigerian cable and wire subsector belongs to the electrical and electronics sectoral group. Alongside two other sectoral groups, this sector is regarded as the most economically significant constituent group of the engineering sector. The performance of the Nigerian cable and wire industrial subgroup is, no doubt, noticed by all who should be in the know. The subsector is one of the very few in the country that have successfully dealt with foreign competition, especially in terms of superior product quality. In spite of the difficult economic conditions in Nigeria, the firms in the cable and wire industry are reputed to produce world-class products. The quality of products from this subsectoral group of the manufacturing industry is considered superior even by multinationals. Moreover, despite the prevalent capacity underutilisation in the industrial sector of the country as a whole, the cable and wire manufacturing firms have done relatively well

  4. Interest rate Risk Management

    In managing interest rate risk, the Company aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in interest rates would have an impact on profit. The Company opts for a mix of fixed and variable interest rates in its financing operations, combined with the use of other financial instruments. Currently, The Company's interest rate position is more weighted towards floating than fixed.

  5. Foreign Exchange Risk Management

    The company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of Company, primarily the Naira. The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are Euro, US Dollars (USD) and Pounds Sterling (GBP). The currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to the changes in foreign exchange rates.

    The company monitors the movement in currency rates on an ongoing basis to mitigate the risk that the movements in the exchange rates may adversely affect the Company's income or value of their holdings of financial instruments.

    The company manages the transactional exposures in accordance with specific principles which are in line with the Company's business needs. These include balancing the sources of financial instruments. Exchange difference recorded in the statement of comprehensive income is allocated to the appropriate headings of expenses by function.

  6. Credit Risk Management

Credit Risk is the Risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations leading to a Financial loss. The Company is exposed to Credit Risk from its operating activities (primarily trade and other Receivables) and investing activities (deposits with banks). The company does not have significant portion of Receivables and bank balance concentrated in the hands of a single entity or a group of entities with common control. There are no collaterals held for these balances.

  • Trade and other Receivables

    The Company's Receivables consist of a number of customers across the country. Credit evaluation is usually performed on the Financial condition of accounts receivable. The company has a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the Board and Management periodically.

  • Bank Balances

Credit Risk from balances with banks and Financial institutions is managed in a manner that would reduce the Risk of loss to the company. Surplus funds are spread amongst reputable commercial banks and are limited. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of Risks and therefore mitigate Financial loss through potential counterparty's liquidation.

The carrying amount of Financial Assets represents the company's maximum exposure, which at the reporting date, was as follows:
