Control is achieved where the investor; (i) has power over the investee entity (ii) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee entity as a result of its involvement, and (iii) can exercise some power over the investee to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it still controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

In line with IAS 40, the Group continues to recognise certain assets as investment properties. These properties are not currently used by the business, and some of them have been leased in the short term. However, some of these properties have been reclassifed and recognised as 'Assets held for sales' following confirmed intention to sell them; and their availability for immediate sale and disposal within 12 months is highly probable. The fair value of the investment properties is estimated at N13.91 billion as 31 May 2025(31 May 2024: N27.56 billion)

15b Trade obligaton with banks

The Company was involved in trade financing arrangements with some local banks where the banks agreed to pay amounts to foreign vendors in respect of invoices owed by the Company and received settlement from the Company at a later date. The principal purpose of the arrangements was to facilitate efficient payment processing in view of the challenges experienced with sourcing foreign currency in the Nigerian market. The arrangement enabled the Company to settle its foreign obligations in a timely manner to facilitate receipt of key input materials required in the production of finished goods. The facilities have been fully settled as at end of the 2025 financial year
