CWG PLCCONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Management's Report on the Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as at 31st December 2025
The Management of CWG Plc ("CWG" or the "Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, including safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
CWG's system of internal control over financial reporting is supported with written policies and procedures, contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and is audited by the internal audit consultant. Appropriate actions are taken by management to correct deficiencies as they are identified. All internal control systems have inherent limitations, including the possibility of circumvention and overriding of controls, and, therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance as to the reliability of financial statement preparation and such asset safeguarding.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the COSO 2013 "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed and operating effectively. Additionally, based upon management's assessment, the Company determined that there were no material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by PKF, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on page 19.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the internal control procedures over financial reporting Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our limited review.
We conducted our limited review assurance engagement in accordance with "the Guidance", which requires that we planned and performed the assurance engagement and provide a limited assurance report on the entity's internal control over financial reporting based on our assurance engagement. As prescribed in the Guidance, the procedures we performed included:
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,

Our engagement also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe the procedures performed provide a basis for our report on the internal control put in place by management over financial reporting.
Definition of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is process designed by, or under the supervision of, the entity's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the entity's board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

"@ PKF
Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Because of such limitations, Internal Control over Financial Reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known
features of the financial reporting process, therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. The major limitation are:
Internal Control over Financial Reporting cannot provide absolute assurance due to its inherent
limitations;
it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
It can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.
Other Information
We have also audited, in accordance with the requirements of International Standards on Auditing, the financial statements of the CWG Plc and our report dated 18 Mamh 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion.

We have determined the matters described below to be key audit matters to be communicated in our report. The key audit matters below relate to the audit of the consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of financial asset | How the matters were addressed in the audit |
1. Impairment of trade and other receivables Significant judgement is required by the Directors in assessing the impairment of financial assets in compliance with IFRS 9, which requires a loss allowance for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) to be measured at the reporting date for those financial assets subject to impairment accounting. With the concept of a possible significant increase in credit risk, this assessment must consider all reasonable and supportable historic and forward-looking information. The Group's credit exposures and respective impairment, where applicable, as at 31 December 2025 were as follows: Accordingly, for the purposes of our audit, we identified the impairment of financial assets as representing a significant risk of material misstatement and a key audit matter. The assumptions with the most significant impact on the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) were: 1. The reasonableness of assumption information (e.g. probability of default information) used in the expected credit loss calculation and how this is supported to ascertain the completeness and accuracy of the records of the information used; | In evaluating the impairment of financial assets, we reviewed and tested the data used in the ECL calculations prepared by the Directors, with a particular focus on the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and discount rate. We performed various procedures, including the following:
|
Impairment of financial asset | How the matters were addressed in the audit |
|
We considered the impairment on the financial assets to be appropriate. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Chairman's statement, Directors' Report; Audit Committee's Report, Corporate Governance Report and Company Secretary's report which is expected to be made available to us after that date. The other information does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appeared to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards in compliance with the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria Act, 2023 (as amended) and the requirements of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identified and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Concluded on the appropriateness of the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicated with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provided the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

General information
The Group
These consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of CWG Plc (referred to as "the company" and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the group"). CWG Plc (the Company) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Nigeria and became public by listing on 15 November 2013. The registered office is located at Block 54A, Plot 10, Adebayo Doherty Road, off Admiralty Road, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State in Nigeria.
Principal activities
The group and the Company is principally engaged in the supply, installation, integration, maintenance and support of computer equipment, e-payment hardware and ancillary equipment.
Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance with IFRSs
These consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries (together, "the group"). The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in line with IFRS 10 on Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB") and in compliance with the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria Act, 2023 (as amended).
Additional information required by local regulators are included where appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements comprise of the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated the statement of changes in equity, consolidated the statement of cashflows and notes to the financial statements.
Basis of measurement
The preparation of the consolidated 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 year the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and therefore the company's financial statements present the financial position and results fairly.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of consolidated 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 group's accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and therefore the group's consolidated financial statements present the financial position and results fairly.
Going concern consideration
The Group's management has made an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.
Summary of s ignificant accounting policies
The following are the significant accounting policies applied by the Group and the Company in preparing its consolidated and separate financial statements.
Foreign currencies
The group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Naira, which is also the parent Company's functional currency. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The group uses the direct method of consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation; the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group's entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates 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 translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss are also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).
Foreign Operations
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Naira at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates ruling at the dates of translation or at average rate for the period as an approximation of the exchange rates at the date of transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to the foreign operation, recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, are reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus, they shall be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and shall be translated at the closing rate in accordance with the provisions of IAS
Revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS 15)
The group and the Company is principally engaged in the supply, installation, integration, maintenance and support of hardware, software, consultancy, communications and managed services. The major streams of revenue for the Group and the Company are highlighted below:
IT Infrastructure Services
Communications and Integrated Services
Managed and Support Services
Software
2.3.2a IT Infrastructure Services
Revenue from IT Infrastructure Services is subdivided into Sale of equipment and IT Infrastructure Support Services.
Revenue from sale of equipment is recognised at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. The normal credit term is 30 to 90 days upon delivery.
In determining the transaction price, the Group and the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
Revenue from support services is recognised over time as control is transferred to the customer, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group and the Company. The normal credit term is 30 to 90 days upon delivery.
2.3.2b Communication and Integrated Services
The group and the Company provides connectivity services to customers. The group and the Company assesses connectivity services as a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
The group and the Company recognises revenue from connectivity services over time, using an output method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the service, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group and the Company. The group and the Company determines that it is an agent in these agreements.
2.3.2c Managed Support Services
The group and the Company provides support services such as Software support, Hardware Support, Performance Monitoring, On-site Technical Support and Maintenance Services. The services represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
The group and the Company recognises revenue from managed support services over time, using an input method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the service, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group and the Company.
2.3.2d Software
The group and the Company provides support services to customers. The group and the Company recognises revenue from software support services over time, using an input method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the service, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group and the Company.
The group and the Company is a principal and records revenue on a gross basis if it controls the promised goods or services before transferring them to the customer. However, if the Group and the Company's role is only to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services, then the Group and the Company is an agent and will need to record revenue at the net amount that it retains for its agency services. The group and the Company determines that it is an agent in these agreements.
Identifying performance obligations
At contract inception, the Group and the Company assess the goods or services promised to a customer and identifies as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either:
a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
In arriving at the performance obligations, the Group and the Company assessed the services as capable of being distinct and as distinct within the context of the contract after considering the
If the customer can benefit from the individual good or service on its own.
If the customer can use the good or service with other readily available resources
If multiple promised goods or services work together to deliver a combined output(s)
Whether the good or service is integrated with, highly interdependent on, highly interrelated with, or significantly modifying or customising, other promised goods or services in the contract
Variable consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group and the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Some contracts for services contain penalties which may give rise to a reduction in the amount receivable from the customer, hence, variable consideration.
Significant financing component
Generally, the Group and the Company receives short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in IFRS 15, the Group and the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Contract balances Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group and the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Group and the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group and the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group and the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group and the Company performs under the contract.
2.3.4 Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax and education tax for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the entities operate and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income is recognised in equity or other comprehensive income, respectively and not in the profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
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 profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that date, are recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances change. The adjustment is either treated as a reduction to goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred during the measurement period or recognised in profit or loss.
The group and the Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority or either the same taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
2.3.5. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part 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 Group and the Company recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit and loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the components of each item of Property, plant and equipment as follows:
PPE Class
%
Buildings
2
Furniture and fittings
25
Office equipment
331/3
Communication equipment
25
Motor vehicles
25
Building improvement
25
Plant & machinery
25
Loose tools
25
Service option equipment
331/3
Land
Not depreciated
ATM
25
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 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 profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of each item of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Leases
Policy subsequent to 1 January 2019
The group and the Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The group and the Company as a lessee
The group and the Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The group and the Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The group and the Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Assets Lease period
Guest houses 2 years
Office buildings 2-3 years
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group and the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section
2.3.10 for Impairment of non-financial assets.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group and the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group and the Company exercising the option to terminate.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Refer to Note 27 for more details on the Group and the Company's lease liabilities.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The group and the Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of warehouses and guesthouses (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). The group and the Company does not have any leased assets categorised as low-value assets (i.e. of a value of N2 million). Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases
The group/ the Company as a lessee
Finance leases that transfer to the Group and the Company substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the profit or loss.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group and the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the profit or loss on a straight-
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the assets are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the profit or loss as the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
The software is amortised using a straight-line method over a period of 3 - 5 years.
As at 31 December 2025, the Group and the Company did not have any indefinite intangible assets. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at the end of the reporting period.
Financial instruments (IFRS 9)
Financial instruments (Recognition and measurement)
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group and the Company's business model for managing them. Apart from trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group and the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Group and the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group and the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.
For a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The group and the Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group and the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments).
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
This category is the most relevant to the Group and the Company. The group and the Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The group and the Company's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, cash and short-term deposits, intercompany receivable and equity instruments.
Financial ass ets des ignated at fair value through OCI (equity ins truments )
Upon initial recognition, the Group and the Company can elect to irrevocably classify its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group and the Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
The group and the Company elected to irrevocably classify its listed equity investments under this category.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group and the Company's Consolidated and Separate statement of financial position) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired Or
The group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group and the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
When the Group and the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group and the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group and the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group and the
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group and the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
The group and the Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group and the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group and the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group and the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group and the Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic
The group and the Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are over 30 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group and the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group and the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before considering any credit enhancements held by the Group and the Company.
A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual ca
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities at amortised cost.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The group and the Company's financial liabilities include loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and intercompany payables.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
This is the category most relevant to the Group and the Company. After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated and separate statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:
Raw materials: Purchase cost on a first in, first out basis.
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.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The group and the Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group and the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other available fair value indicators.
The group and the Company base its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecasts which are prepared separately for each of the Group and the Company's CGU to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group and the Company estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets:
2.3.11. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the Consolidated and Separate statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. For the purpose of the cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Dividend Distributions
The group and the Company recognises dividends when the distribution is authorised and is no longer at the discretion of the Group and the Company.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group and 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. When the Group and 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 expense relating to a provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
2.3.14. Employee Benefits
Employee benefits are all forms of benefits given in exchange for services rendered by employees. These are classified as:
Short-term employee benefits - benefits due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees rendered the related services;
Post-employment benefits are benefits payable after the completion of employment. Such plans (or funds) may be either defined contribution funds or defined benefit funds.
Termination benefits are employee benefits payable as a result of either the Group and the Company's decision to terminate an employee's employment before normal retirement date, or an employee's decision to accept voluntary redundancy in exchange for those benefits.
Short-term benefits
The cost of all short-term employee benefits, such as salaries, profit sharing arrangements, employee entitlements to leave pay, bonuses, medical aid and other contributions, are recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service. The group and the Company recognises the expected cost of bonuses only when the Group and the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payment and a reliable estimate can be made. During the year, the Group and the Company contributed to employee benefits in the following categories: -remuneration in the form of salaries, wages and bonuses.
Post-employment Retirement Benefit Funds
In line with statutory pension/retirements laws, the Group and the Company and its employees contribute to statutory retirement benefits plans for the benefits of its qualifying staff. The Funds which are defined contribution plans are independently administered with no obligations on the Group and the Company other than the defined contribution as a percentage of employees' qualifying remunerations. Both employees' and the Group and the Company's share of the contributions are charged as staff cost in the administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss when the employee renders the service.
Termination benefits
The group and the Company recognises termination benefits as a liability and an expense when it is demonstrably committed to either:
terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date
provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy.
Termination benefits are recognised as expense in the period they arise. The group and the Company had no termination benefit commitments during the year.
2.3.15 Segment reporting
The group and the Company identifies segments as components of the Group and the Company that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses incurred. The segments' operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The identification of operating segments is on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity's Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. The group and the Company has identified the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Measurement of segment information
The amount reported for each operating segment is based on the measure reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker for the purposes of allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance.
2.3.16 Fair value measurement
The group and the Company has financial instruments measured at fair value at each reporting date. 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability Or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group and the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The group and the Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated and separate financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the consolidated and separate financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group and the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Group and the Company's consolidated and separate financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group and the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated and separate financial statements.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The group and the Company applied the following judgements. These judgements will significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:
Determining the timing of satisfaction of Sale of Products
The group and the Company concluded that revenue from sale of products to customers will be recognised at a point in time because control is transferred at a point in time.
The group and the Company has assessed that there is a direct relationship between the Group and the Company's measurement of the value of goods or services transferred to date, relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.
