MORISON INDUSTRIES PLC viii MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON THE ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING For the year ended 31 December 2024Management of Morison Industries Plc ("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.
The Company's internal control system is supported by written policies and procedures, incorporates self monitoring mechanisms, and is subject to internal audit reviews. When deficiencies are identified, Management takes appropriate corrective actions. However, like all internal control systems, inherent limitations exist, including the potential for circumvention or overriding of controls.
As of 31 December 2024, Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting using the COSO 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on this assessment, Management ascertained that, as of 31 December 2024, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was properly designed and effectively operating. Furthermore, no material weaknesses were identified in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2024, has been audited by an independent registered accounting firm.

Assurance Report of Independent Auditor
To the Shareholders of Morison Industries Plc
Assurance Report on Management's Assessment of Control over Financial Reporting
We have performed a limited assurance engagement on Morison Industries Plc ("the Company") internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2024, based on Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Guidance on Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Guidance on Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Morison Industries Plc's Board of Directors and Management are responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's Internal Control over Financial Reporting based on our Assurance engagement.
In our opinion, nothing has come to our attention that the internal control procedures over financial reporting put in place by management are not adequate as of the specified date, based on the FRC/SEC Guidance on Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We have complied with independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
The Firm applies the International Standard on Quality Management 1, Quality Management for firms that perform audit or review of financial statements, or other assurance or related services engagement which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We conducted our Assurance engagement in accordance with FRC Guidance on Assurance Engagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. That Guidance requires that we plan and perform 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, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 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.
A Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
i. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company;
ii provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and
iii. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MORISON INDUSTRIES PLC REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Opinion
ADOL House
15 CIPM Avenue
Central Business District,
Alausa, Ikeja
P. O. Box 4929, GPO, Marina
Lagos, Nigeria
We have audited the financial statements of Morison Industries Plc which comprise, the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and in compliance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, 2023 and the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Nigeria, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the International Ethics Standards Board Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 35 of the financial statements which indicates that the Company incurred a loss before taxation of ₦77 million during the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: ₦98 million) and as at that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by ₦438 million (2023: ₦392 million). The Company also has accumulated losses of ₦916 million as at 31 December 2024 (2023: ₦838 million). These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matter
Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Revenue recognition Risk
Revenue is recognised and posted as sales when invoices are raised irrespective of whether the goods have been
delivered and the waybill endorsed by the customers. There is a risk that sales may not exist and be misstated as transfer of control may not have passed to the third party in line with the Company's accounting policies and the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard(IFRS)15.
Our response
Our audit procedures in response to the risk included, amongst others:
Confirmation of revenue cycle cut-off from goods dispatched for completeness at year end
For a selected sample of signed delivery notes/waybills listing in the verified store records, we:
Obtained details of dispatches of inventory prior to and subsequent to the year end, and confirmed that they were appropriately treated.
Traced delivery notes/waybills signed by the customer or its representative as maintained by Store to invoices recorded in sales ledger before and after year end.
Verified and confirmed that revenue and receivables were recorded in the appropriate accounting period.

Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Chairman's statement, Directors' report, Statement of Directors' Responsibilities and Statement of Corporate Responsibility but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and in compliance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, 2023 and the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting processes
Auditor's responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a 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 International Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
Obtain 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 Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
3
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' 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 Company'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 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, and significant audit findings and any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
The Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 requires that in carrying out our audit we consider and report to you on the following matters. We confirm that:
we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit;
in our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the Company, and
the Company's statement of financial position, and its statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are in agreement with the books of account.
