The accompanying notes form an integral part of these financial statements.

  1. Reporting Entity

    Livestock Feeds Plc was incorporated on 20th March,1963 and commenced business on 20th May, 1963. The Company was quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1978. The Company is engaged principally in the manufacturing and marketing of animal feeds and concentrates. The registered office of the Company is located at 1 Henry Carr Street, Ikeja Lagos. The parent Company is UAC of Nigeria Plc.

    Statement of compliance

    The Company's financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared in accordance with with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards), and in the manner required by the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), 2020 andhe Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act,2023. Details of the Company's material accounting policies are included in Note 2.

    The financial statement were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 April 2026 .

  2. Summary of material accounting policies Basis of preparation

    The financial statements are presented in Naira which is the Company's functional currency and all

    values are rounded to the nearest thousand (₦'000), except when otherwise indicated.

    1. Basis of measurement

      The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption under the historical cost concept except for the following term.

      Employee benefits: Present value of the obligation

    2. Fair value measurement

      The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date mainly for disclosure purpose. 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.

      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 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.

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 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.

2 Summary of material accounting policies (cont'd)
  1. Fair value measurement
    • 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 financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, 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.

      For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.

  2. Revenue from contracts with customers

    The Company is into agricultural business for the manufacturing and marketing of animal feeds and concentrates.

    Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

    The Company has applied IFRS 15 practical expedient to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics since the Company reasonably expects that the accounting result will not be materially different from the result of applying the standard to the individual contracts. The Company has been able to take a reasonable approach to determine the portfolios that would be representative of its types of customers and business lines. This has been used to categorise the different revenue stream detailed below.

    The disclosures of material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided in Note 5.

    At contract inception, the Company assesses 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.

      The Company has identified one distinct performance obligations:

      Performance Obligation

      When Performance

      Obligation is Typically Satisfied

      When Payment is Typically Due

      How Standalone Selling

      Price is Typically Estimated

      Animal feeds

      Upon delivery (point in time)

      Within 90 days of delivery

      Not applicable

      When control of the feeds

      passes to the customer; typically upon delivery

      Within 90 days of delivery

      Not applicable

      Contract for the sale of feeds and concentrates begins when goods have been delivered to the customer and revenue is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods has been transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. The normal credit term is 90 days upon delivery.

      The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (if any). In determining the transaction price for the sale of feeds and concentrates, the Company considers the existence of significant financing components and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

      1. Significant financing component

        Using the practical expedient in IFRS 15, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since Livestock feeds Plc 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.

      2. Variable consideration

        If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, 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.

        Volume incentives and trade discounts

        When customers meet a set target in a particular month the Company gives a volume incentive. Trade discounts of 20% are given to customers which is determined at the inception of the contract and are set-off against revenue.

        Rights of return

        Some contracts for the sale of Animal feeds provide customers with a right of return and volume rebates. When a contract provides a customer with a right to return the goods within a specified period, the consideration received from the customer is variable because the contract allows the customer to return the products. The Company used the expected value method to estimate the goods that will not be returned. For goods expected to be returned, the Company presented a refund liability and an asset for the right to recover products from a customer separately in the statement of financial position.

        Assets and liabilities arising from rights of return; Refund assets

        Refund assets represent the Company's right to recover the goods expected to be returned by customers. The assets is measured at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods, including any potential decreases in the value of the returned goods.

        Refund liabilities

        A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the customer and is measured at the amount the Company ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer.

        The Company updates its estimates of refund (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period.

      3. Principal vs Agent consideration

        When another party is involved in providing goods or services to its customer, the Company determines whether it is a principal or an agent in these transactions by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. 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 Company's role is only to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services, then the Company is an agent and will need to record revenue at the net amount that it retains for its agency services.

        Practical Expedients

        Revenue Recognition

        Livestock Feeds Plc (LSF) has elected to make use of the following practical expedients:

        • LSF opted for the use of one year or less practical expedients for significant financing component.

        • LSF applies the practical expedient in paragraph 121 of IFRS 15 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

      Other income

      This comprises majorly profit from sale of plant and equipment, sales of sacks, government grant, etc.

      The profit on disposal is calculated as the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets.

  3. Taxes Current income tax

    Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current income tax is the estimated income tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

    Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of 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 appropriate.

    Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and is assessed as follows:

    Tertiary Education Tax

    Tertiary Education Tax is charged on the assessable profit of the Company at the rate of 3%. The assessable profit of the Company is ascertained in the manner specified in the Companies Income Tax Act (CITA). The assessable profit is arrived at by adjusting the profit before tax with non-deductible expenses and non-taxable income based on the Companies Income Tax Act. The Company offsets the tax assets arising from withholding tax credits and current tax liabilities if, and only if, the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

    d) Taxes (cont'd) Minimum tax

    Minimum Tax (determined based on 0.5% of qualifying Company's turnover (revenue) less franked

    investment income). Taxes based on taxable profit for the period are treated as income tax in line with IAS 12; whereas minimum tax which is based on a gross amount is outside the scope of IAS 12 and therefore, are not presented as part of income tax expense in the profit or loss. The liability is recognised under tax payable in the statement of financial position.

    Deferred tax

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base. Deferred taxes are recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes (tax bases of the assets or liability). The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

    Deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.

    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 on either the same taxable entity or different 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.

    National Information Technology Development Agency Levy

    National Information Technology Development Agency Levy is computed on Profit before tax but it is not applicable to the Companies in agricultural sector.

    Nigeria Police Trust Fund Levy

    Nigeria Police Trust Fund Levy is computed on the net profit( i.e. profit deducting all expenses and taxes from revenue earned by the Company during the year) and is governed by the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (Establishment) Act,2019.

  4. Foreign currencies transaction

    In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the entity's presentation currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

    Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re translation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other operating income.

    Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.

  5. Cash dividend

    The Company recognises a liability to pay a dividend when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Based on the corporate laws of Nigeria, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity. However, where interim dividend is declared by the Board, it is recognised in the liability pending the approval of the shareholders. Dividends for the year that are approved after the statement of financial position date are disclosed as an event after the statement of financial position date where applicable.

  6. Property, plant and equipment Recognition

    Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and

    impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Property, plant and equipment under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

    Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as a separate item of property, plant and equipment and are depreciated accordingly. Subsequent costs and additions are included in the asset's carrying amount or are 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. Capital work in progress are uncompleted projects and they are not depreciated. Depreciation starts when the projects are completed and transferred to the relevant asset class.

    All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of the assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method on the following bases:

    Major overhaul expenditure, including replacement spares and labour costs, is capitalised and amortised over the average expected life. The depreciation commences immediately the asset is available for intended use.

    Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

    Leasehold Land Building

    Machinery & Equipment Motor Vehicle

    • Automobile

    • Truck

    Computer Equipment Office equipment Capital work in progress

    5 to 25 years

    10 to 33 years

    2 to 10 years

    1 to 10 years

    3 to 10 years

    3 to 5 years

    3 to 5 years Nil

    The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

    Derecognition

    An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefit is expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition 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 within 'other operating income' in the year that the asset is derecognised.

    The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end, with the changes in estimates accounted for prospectively.

  7. Intangible assets Computer software

    Expenditure that enhances and extends the benefits of computer software beyond their original

    specifications and lives, is recognised as a capital improvement cost and is added to the original cost of the software. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

    Amortisation is recognised in the profit/loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, from the date that it is available for use. The residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. An Intangible asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

    Derecognition of intangible assets

    An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible assets, measured are as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets, are recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised. The useful life rate is 33.3%.

  8. Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent 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.

    1. Financial assets

      No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the periods ended 31 March 2026 and 2025.

      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 Company's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, 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 Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in section (c) Revenue from contracts with customers.

      In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, 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 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 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 OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

      • 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 profit or loss

        Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

        The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are

      • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order 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 Company's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, and receivables from related parties.

        Derecognition

        A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:

      • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired Or

      • 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 Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

      Derecognition (cont'd)

      When 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 it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, 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 Company has retained.

      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 Company could be required to repay.

      Impairment of financial assets

      The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments and other financial assets 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 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 (if any).

      ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

      For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. 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 environment.

      For receivables from related parties (non-trade), and staff receivables, the Company applies general approach in calculating ECLs.It is the Company's policy to measure ECLs on such asset on a 12-month basis. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL.

      The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

      The Company calculates ECLs based on a three probability-weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.

      Notes to the Financial Statements

      For the period ended 31 March 2026

      2 Summary of material accounting policies (cont'd)
      1. Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement (cont'd) Impairment of financial assets (cont'd)

        The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:

        • PD

        • EAD

        • LGD

          The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon.

          The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including

          repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise.

          The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.

          When estimating the ECLs, the Company considers three scenarios (a base case, an upside, a

          downside). Each of these is associated with different PDs, EADs and LGDs. In its ECL models, the Company relies on a broad range of forward looking information as economic inputs, such as:

        • GDP growth

        • Oil price

        • Exchange rate

        • Inflation rate

      Other Financial Assets

      Other financial assets relate to 90% of the unclaimed dividend returned by the registrar of the company. This is in compliance with the directives of the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission. The amount is placed in a fixed deposit account where a fixed interest rate is earned.

    2. Financial liabilities
    Initial recognition and measurement

    Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, amortized cost, as appropriate.

    All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

    The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings and are classified at amortised cost.

    Subsequent measurement

    The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

    Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

    Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

    Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

    Notes to the Financial Statements

    For the period ended 31 March 2026

    1. Summary of material accounting policies (cont'd) i) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement (cont'd) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (cont'd)

      Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

      Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Company has not designated any financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

      Loans and borrowings

      After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate(EIR) method.

      Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account 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, 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.

      iii) Offsetting of financial instruments

      Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 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.

  9. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, with appropriate provisions for old and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Inventory quantities and values will be adjusted for spoilage, spillage and deterioration, expiration and any other loss as soon as it is discovered. Stock assessment must be carried out quarterly and the inventories should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value as provided for in IFRS. The comparison of cost and net realizable value should be carried out on an item-by-item basis but, where this is impracticable, groups of similar items shall be considered together. It is however, unacceptable to compare the total net realizable value of all inventories with their total purchase price or production cost. Where the net realizable value of an item is less than its cost, the excess is written off immediately in income statement.

Cost is determined as follows:-

Raw materials and packaging materials

Raw materials and packaging materials include purchase cost and other costs incurred to bring the materials to their location and condition are valued using weighted average cost.

Finished goods

Cost of direct materials and labour plus a reasonable proportion of overheads absorbed by manufacturing based on normal levels of activity.

  1. Inventories (cont'd) Spare parts and consumables

    Spare parts which are expected to be fully utilized in production within the next operating cycle and other consumables are valued at weighted average cost after making allowance for obsolete and damaged stocks.

  2. Impairment of non-financial assets

    Further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets are also provided in the following notes:

    • Disclosures for significant assumptions

    • Property, plant and equipment

    • Intangible assets

      Note 4 Note 16(a) Note 17

      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 Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company's of assets. When 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 of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

      The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which

      are prepared separately for each of the Company's CGUs to which the individual assets are

      An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, 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 the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

  3. Cash and bank balances

    Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term highly liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

    For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank

    balances, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral

    part of the Company's cash management.

  4. Provisions

    A provision is recognized only if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

    Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. The Company's provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

  5. Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

    A Contingent liability is a possible liability 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 control of the Company, or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations; or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are only disclosed and not recognized 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.

    Contingent assets are possible assets whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events that are not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets are not recognised, but they are disclosed when it is more likely than not that an inflow of benefits will occur.

  6. Government grant

    Benefits accruing to the Company on government assisted loans granted at a below market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The benefit of such a government assisted loan is the difference between market rate of interest and the below market rate applicable to the government assisted loan. The grant so measured is recognised as income in the financial statements on a systematic basis over the tenor of the loan. No government grants were recognised during the year.

  7. Pension and other post-employment benefits
    1. Defined contribution scheme - pension

    In line with the provisions of the Nigerian Pension Reform Act, 2014, Livestock Feeds Plc has instituted a defined contributory pension scheme for its employees. The scheme is funded by fixed contributions from employees and the Company at the rate of 8% by employees and 10% by the Company of basic, housing and transport allowance, and invested outside the Company through Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) of the employees' choice.

    The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employees' service in the current and prior periods.

    1. Defined contribution scheme - pension (cont'd)

      The matching contributions made by Livestock Feeds Plc to the relevant PFAs are recognised as expenses when the costs become payable in the reporting periods during which employees have rendered services in exchange for those contributions. Liabilities in respect of the defined contribution scheme are charged against the profit of the period in which they become payable.

      Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

    2. Other long term benefits

      Other long term benefits are all employee benefits other than short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefit. The company's net obligation under other long term benefits is the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value and remeasurements are recognised in the profit or loss account in the period in which they arise.

    3. Profit-sharing and bonus plans

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

  8. Leases

    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.

    1. Right -of-use-assets (ROU)

      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.

    2. Lease liabilities

      At the commencement date of the lease, 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 Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects 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.

    3. Short-term leases

    The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases assets i.e. Land and warehouses (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). Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  9. Segment reporting

    Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the internal chief operating-decision maker. The chief operating-decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Livestock Feeds Plc.

    The Company's primary format for segment reporting is based on business operating segments. Where applicable, segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

    The basis of segmental reporting is geographical locations where the Company operates namely Ikeja for South west, Aba mill for South east, Onitsha operations for South south and Jos and Kano for the North.

  10. Prepayments:

Prepayments are non-financial assets which result when payments are made in advance of the receipt of goods or services. They are recognized when the Company expects to receive future economic benefits equivalent to the value of the prepayments.

The receipt or consumption of the services is a reduction in the prepayment and a corresponding increase in expense or assets for that reporting period.

  1. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
    1. Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year

      In the current year, the Company has applied a number of amendments to IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards) that are mandatorily effective for accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2024.

      1. Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability (effective 1 January 2025)

        An entity is impacted by this amendment when it has a transaction or an operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at a measurement date for a specified purpose.

        The lack of exchangeability may occur, for example, because of government imposed controls on capital imports and exports, or the volume of foreign currency transactions that can be undertaken at an official exchange rate is limited. The amendments clarify when a currency is considered exchangeable into another currency and how an entity estimates a spot rate for currencies that lack exchangeability.

        The amendments introduce new disclosures to help financial statement users assess the impact of using an estimated exchange rate.

        The effective date of the amendment is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2025.

        These amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.

    2. Standards issued but not yet effective
      1. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Classification and measurement of Financial Instruments The amendments to IFRS 9 include guidance on the classification of financial assets, including those with contingent features. The IASB has also amended IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Companies will now be required to provide additional disclosures on financial assets and financial liabilities that have certain contingent features that are not related directly to a change in basic lending risks or costs; and are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. This standard is effective from 1 January 2026.

        The effective date of the amendment is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2026.

        These amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.

      2. IFRS 9 amendments: Settlement by electronic payments

        The IASB has amended IFRS 9 to clarify when a financial asset or a financial liability is recognised and derecognised and to provide an exception for certain financial liabilities settled using an electronic

        payment system.

        Companies can choose to apply the exception for electronic payments on a system-by-system basis. Given the widespread use of electronic payment systems, determining whether the exception criteria would be met for each one may require significant time and effort.

        If the derecognition exception criteria are not met, determining the settlement date may also present challenges and companies may be required to change their existing systems and processes. This standard is effective from 1 January 2026.

      3. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

        The standard aims to provide greater consistency in presentation of the income and cash flow statements, and more disaggregated information It provides significant changes to how a company presents its income statement and what information needs to be disclosed, and making certain 'non-GAAP' measures part of the audited financial statements for the first time.

        1. Standards issued but not yet effective (cont'd)
          1. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (cont'd)

            The effective date of the amendment is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2027.

            The directors of the Company anticipate that these amendments are not expected to have material impact on the financial statements presentation.

          2. IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without public accountability: Disclosures (effective 1 January 2027) IFRS 19 allows eligible subsidiaries to apply IFRS Accounting Standards with the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19. A subsidiary may choose to apply the new standard in its consolidated, separate or individual financial statements provided that, at the reporting date:
            • i◻t does not have public accountability; and

            • i◻ts parent produces consolidated financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards.

        A subsidiary applying IFRS 19 is required to clearly state in its explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards that IFRS 19 has been adopted.

  2. Material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company's 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 out comes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Other disclosures relating to the Company's exposure to risks and uncertainties includes:

  • Capital management

  • Financial instruments risk management and policies

  • Sensitivity analyses disclosures

Note 7

Note 32

Note 32

Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

  1. Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal - Company as lessee

    The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

    4 Material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (cont'd)
  2. Revenue from contracts with customers

    The Company applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:

    Determining the timing of satisfaction of sales of feeds and concentrates
    • The Company has a present right to payment for the goods;

    • The customer has legal title to the goods;

    • The Company has transferred physical possession of the asset and delivery note received;

    • The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; and

    • The customer has accepted the goods

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

  1. Impairment of non-financial assets

    Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing off the asset. The fair value of the assets is based on the market value. This is the price which an asset may be reasonably expected to be realised in a sale in a private contract. These estimates are most relevant to intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Company.

  2. Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables

    The Company uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for various customer segments that have similar loss patterns (i.e., by product type, customer type and rating).

    The provision matrix is initially based on the Company's historical observed default rates. The Company will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e., gross domestic product) are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults in the manufacturing sector, the historical default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

    The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company's historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer's actual default in the future. The information about the ECLs on the Company's trade receivables is disclosed in Note 19 and 31.4.

    1. Material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (cont'd)
5 5.1 Depreciation and carrying value of property, plant and equipment

The estimation of the useful lives of assets is based on management's judgement. Any material adjustment to the estimated useful lives of items of property and equipment will have an impact on the carrying value of these items.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax

The Board members review the Company's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The directors have determined the operating segments based on these reports. Assessment of performance is based on operating profits of the operating segment that is reviewed by the Board. Other information provided to the Board is measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.

    The Company generated all its revenue in Nigeria. The Company operates only in the Feed Milling industry hence all information on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position remains the same with that of the segment information.

Contracts that were in existence at the transition date, 1 January 2019, are assessed as short-term leases based on the transition date. All other contracts are assessed as short-term leases based on the contract start date.
