CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

PRESENT SITUATION AND OPERATING RESULT

We want to thank God because it is a new dawn in Japaul. Our Company has survived gloomy death, and nobody would have thought that the Company will still be alive till date. We have had enough of the Oil and Gas Sector, and needless to say that the Sector has challenges, and there is no point flogging a dead horse any longer. It is common knowledge that the Sector is on gradual decline, which has made business unprofitable for most of the Stakeholders, especially in our space.

Most of the Marine Vessels that the Company heavily invested in and those ones that we took on long term Lease, with the agreement to own at the end of the Lease period have been idle for almost 4 years, generating no income of any sort for the Company, but Fixed and Operating cost have always been on the rise because there was always the need to keep all the Vessels floating with the hope that there may be employment for them.

Our main line of business is Contract dependent with the IOCs (International Oil Companies), and jobs have not been forthcoming as expected. This explains the continuous fall in our business turnover, which led to our inability to meet our basic obligations with the Banks, the Leases, our Vendors, etc. Management has been able to take the bull by the horn and renegotiate all Contracts, which led to forgiveness of some debts, and other income of about N40.9 billion in our audited Accounts are not as a result of direct disposal of Assets for cash payment, but they are simply the gains from settlements with our Bankers and with the Companies that we leased Vessels from. So now, the Cost of Finance and monthly rental payments on the Vessels that has been putting us in terrible losses have stopped forthwith. The negative Shareholders fund of N35.5 billion has turned to positive of about N4.9 billion, and our per share earning now is N653 as against negative N105 in the year 2018. The snapshot of the Company position for the past 4 years is as stated below:

“Distinguished Shareholders, on behalf of the Board of Directors and Management of the Company, I hereby present to you the Annual Report and Financial Statement of our Company for the year

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (Cont’d)

OUR NEW DREAMS AND STRATEGY FOR PROSPERITYBefore now, we have been considering other business Sectors to do business and severally the Shareholders have been informed in some of our past AGMs that our Company is working on the possibility of doing business in the Mining Sector, and the time is ripe for us to diversify into the Mining and Technology space. A lot of studies have been carried out in this new Sector and our findings give us the confidence to step out of the unprofitable Oil & Gas Sector. Some existing Mining Licenses and Companies will be acquired to give us a seamless transition to this new Sector, and the mining style that we shall deploy shall be modern technology based, and we have already engaged a Canadian Company who shall be our Technical Partner in this new business. Although it may take a little while for shareable earnings to start coming up, but without a doubt the growth, success and prosperity of the Company is guaranteed, and in no distant time value shall be added to all our Shareholders.

For the ease of hitting ground and start running in this new Sector, there is need to raise fund to further invest in exploration, exploitation and production of minerals. We shall be starting with Gold production, and after that we shall advance to the mining of Lithium, Copper and other minerals. The whole world is the market for this products, and no matter the quantity that we shall be mining, there is ready market for them. We have no doubt that we shall be generating good earnings within 18 to 24 months from the time that the new capital is raised, given our present level of readiness for the business.

CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, we want to appreciate all our Shareholders for their endurance, understanding and their prayers during the time of our challenge as a Company. There is now clear light at the end of the tunnel and all the sacrifices and support that has been given, shall surely be handsomely rewarded very soon.The Board Members and the Management are also appreciated for all efforts they have put in to bring the Company out of the woods. Indeed, we have learned how it will not work. From now on, it will be working for us.In God we trust.

Thank you all and God bless.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019

1. The Entity1.1 Legal form Japaul Oil & Maritime Services Plc was incorporated on 29 June 1994 as a private limited liability company

and commenced business in January 1997. Japaul Oil is in the business of oil and maritime services. The Company's shares were listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). As at year end, the Company has

four subsidiaries, namely:

- Japaul Shipping & Offshore Services Limited- Japaul Mines & Products Limited- Japaul Dredging Services Limited- Japaul Gulf Electro Mechanical LLC Dubai UAE

The Registered office address of the company is Japaul House, Plot 8, Dr. Nurudeen Olowopopo Avenue, Central Business District (CBD), Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.

1.2 Principal activities The principal activities of the group are engaging in oil and maritime services in the upstream segment of the

oil and gas industry. The group's scope of operations covers the provision of offshore oilfield vessels, dredging activities in oil fields/locations, quarry services, maritime and logistics, oil flowlines/pipeline construction in swamps.

2. Basis of preparation2.1 Statement of compliance The group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the IASB. Additional information required by local regulators has been included where appropriate.

The consolidated financial statements comprise of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cashflows and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

2.2 Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern principle under the

historical cost convention, except for financial assets (liabilities) which were measured at fair value. The liability for defined benefit obligations is recognized as the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the total of the plan assets, plus unrecognized actuarial gains, less unrecognized past service cost and unrecognized actuarial losses while the plan assets for defined benefit obligations are measured at fair.

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

2.3 Going concern considerations The Group had been making persistent losses over the years and at 31 December 2019, the Group made a

gross loss from operation of N943.3 million (December 2018 : N1.027 billion), while the Company made a gross loss of N968.6 million (December 2018 : N956.6 million) due to curtailed operational activities. The Group had a working capital deficiency of N1.7 billion (2018: 10.8 billion). During the year the company settled its outstanding liabilities with its creditors through mutually agreed terms and conditions which resulted in debts waiver and ceding of some pledged collateral securities. The effect of the settlement resulted in other income of N43.017 billion during the year and consequently reversed the negative

shareholders fund.

The Group's continued existence as a going concern is dependent on the following:- Sustaining and expanding our existing quarring business;- Refurbising and upgrading of existing equipment for hiring purposes;- Diversification into mechanised mining of solid minerals;- Advancing into smart real estate through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain technologies;- Positioning for the dredging and supply of sand and aggregate as part of the Nigerian Content

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

Contractor for Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project in Gembu, Taraba State.- Sustaining and growing our recent effort in retail sand mining operations at various sites across the count- Arranging for private equity investment/funding.

Upon due consideration of the uncertainties described above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group have adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as at 31 December 2019.

2.4 Functional and presentation currency This consolidated financial statements are presented in Naira, which is the Group’s presentational

currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated results and financial position are expressed in Naira, which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentational currency for the financial statements.

2.5 Basis of consolidation This consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company and its

subsidiaries as at 31 December, 2019.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the group obtains control, and continues to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using the same accounting policies.

All inter-group balances, transactions, dividends, unrealised gains on transactions within the Group are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses resulting from inter-group transactions are eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

2.6 Summary of Standards and Interpretations effective for the first time

2.6.1 Amendments effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 IFRS 16 'Leases' Effective for an annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019: - New standard that introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets

and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. A lessee measures right-of- use assets similarly to other non-financial assets (such as property, plant and equipment) and lease liabilities similarly to other financial liabilities. As a consequence, a lessee recognises depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows applying IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows;

- IFRS 16 contains expanded disclosure requirements for lessees. Lessees will need to apply judgement in deciding upon the information to disclose to meet the objective of providing a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that lease;

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

- IFRS 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors that will improve information disclosed about a lessor’s risk exposure, particularly to residual value risk;

- IFRS 16 supersedes the following Standards and Interpretations:

2 9Annual Report & Accounts 2019

Page 32: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

a) IAS 17 Leases;b) IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease;c) SIC-15 Operating Leases—Incentives; andd) SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments The interpretation specifies how an entity should reflect the effects of uncertainties in accounting for income taxes.

2.6.2 Standards Issued and Effective on or after 1 January 2022 a) IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts IFRS 17 creates one accounting model for all insurance contracts in all jurisdictions that apply IFRS.This standard replaces IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts.

The key principles in IFRS 17 are that an entity:- identifies as insurance contracts those contracts under which the entity accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain, future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder;

- separates specified embedded derivatives, distinct investment components and distinct performance obligations from the insurance contracts;

- divides the contracts into groups it will recognise and measure;

- recognises and measures groups of insurance contracts at a risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows (the fulfilment cash flows) that incorporates all the available information about the fulfilment cash flows in a way that is consistent with observable market information plus (if this value is a liability) or minus (if this value is an asset) an amount representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin);

- recognises the profit from a group of insurance contracts over the period the entity provides insurance coverage, and as the entity is released from risk, if a group of contracts is or becomes loss-making, an entity recognises the loss immediately;

- presents separately insurance revenue, insurance service expenses and insurance finance income or expenses;

- discloses information to enable users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity. To do this, an entity discloses qualitative and quantitative information about:

• the amounts recognised in its financial statements from insurance contracts;• the significant judgements, and changes in those judgements, made when applying the Standard; and• the nature and extent of the risks from contracts within the scope of this Standard.

2.6.3 Narrow Scope Amendments deferred until further notice a) IFRS 10 consolidated financial statements

Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28): Narrow scope amendment address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.

b) IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint VenturesSale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS10 and IAS 28): Narrow scope amendment to address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.

2.6.4 New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but without an effective dateAt the date of authorisation of these financial statements the following standards, amendments to existing

3 0Annual Report & Accounts 2019

Page 33: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

standards and interpretations were in issue, but without an effective date: This includes:

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 consolidated financial statements and Investments in Associates and Joint VenturesAmends IFRS 10 consolidated financial statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint

Ventures (2011) to clarify the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from an investor to its associate or joint venture, as follows:

- Require full recognition in the investor's financial statements of gains and losses arising on the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations);- Require the partial recognition of gains and losses where the assets do not constitute a business, i.e. a gain or loss is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture.

These requirements apply regardless of the legal form of the transaction, e.g. whether the sale or contribution of assets occurs by an investor transferring shares in a subsidiary that holds the assets (resulting in loss of control of the subsidiary), or by the direct sale of the assets themselves.

3. Summary of significant accounting policiesThe significant accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements unless otherwise indicated.

3.1 Investments in associatesAn associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted for any impairment losses in subsequent periods in separate financial statements. If the group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds its interest in the associate, the group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses.

3.2 Investment in subsidiariesInvestments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is one in which the group has controlling interest and controls the operation/decision making of the subsidiary.

3.3 Intangible assets3.3.1 Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are shown at historical cost less accumulated amortization andimpairment losses.

Amortization is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset unless such lives are indefinite. These charges are included in other expenses in profit or loss. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually.Amortization periods and methods are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. %

3.4 Property, plant and equipment3.4.1 Initial recognition

All property, plant and equipment assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

3.4.2 Subsequent costs Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

3.4.3 Depreciation of property, plant and equipmentDepreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued

3 1Annual Report & Accounts 2019

Page 34: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: %Land -Buildings 2Furniture and fittings 25Computer equipment 25Motor vehicles 25Office equipment 25Marine equipment 5Plant and machinery 10Survey equipment 25Heavy duty vehicles 162/3The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable value.The group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period.

3.4.4 Derecognition Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount, these are included in the income statement under operating income. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus are transferred to retained earnings.

3.4.5 Reclassification When the use of a property changes from owner-occupier to investment property, the property is re- measured to fair value and reclassified as investment property. Any gain arising on re-measurement is recognized in the income statement to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss on the specific property, with any remaining recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the revaluationreserve in equity. Any loss is recognized immediately in the income statement.

3.5 Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for saleDiscontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Discontinued operations and non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

This is the case, when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and the sale is considered to be highly probable.

A sale is considered to be highly probable if the appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group), and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated. Furthermore, the asset (or disposal group) has been actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one-year from the date that it is classified as held for sale.

3.6 InventoriesInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a first in first out basis. The cost of inventories includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventory and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal activity levels.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling.

3.7 Impairment of non-financial assetsThe group assesses annually whether there is any indication that any of its assets have been impaired. If such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated and compared to its carrying value.

32Annual Report & Accounts 2019

Page 35: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

Where it is impossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the smallest cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is recognized as revaluation decrease.

3.8 Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments carried in the statement of financial position includes available for sale assets, loans and receivables, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings. Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. The various classifications of financial instruments, their measurement subsequent to initial recognition, reclassifications and derecognition are stated as follows:

3.8.1 Financial assetsThe group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity assets and available for sale assets. The classification is determined by management at initial recognition and depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

a) ClassificationFinancial assets at fair value through profit or lossThis category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair valuethrough profit or loss at inception.

A financial asset is classified into the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category at inception if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term, if it forms part of a portfolio of financial assets in which there is evidence of short-term profit-taking, or if so designated by management. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are:Held in internal funds to match insurance and investment contracts liabilities that are linked to the changes in fair value of these assets. The designation of these assets to be at fair value through profit or loss eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as ‘an accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases. Information about these financial assets is provided internally on a fair value basis to the group’s key management personnel.

Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those that the group intends to sell in the short term or that it has designated as at fair value through profit or loss or available for sale. Receivables arising from insurance contracts are also classified in this category and are reviewed for impairment as part of the impairment review of loans and receivables.

Held-to-maturity financial assetsHeld-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments andfixed maturities that the group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, other than:• those that the group upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss;• those that the group designates as available for sale; and• those that meet the definition of loans and receivables.

Interests on held-to-maturity investments are included in the income statement and are reported as ‘finance income’. In the case of an impairment, it is been reported as a deduction from the carrying value of the investment and recognised in the income statement as ‘Net gains/(losses) on investment securities’.

Available-for-sale financial assetsAvailable-for-sale investments are financial assets that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

b) Recognition and measurementRegular-way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from them have expired or where they have been transferred and the group has also transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to- maturity financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as part of other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income.

When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income are included in the income statement as net realised gains on financial assets.

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the income statement. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the income statement when the group’s right to receive payments is established; both are included in the investment income line.

For financial instruments traded in active markets, the determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities is based on quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. This includes listed equity securities and quoted debt instruments on major exchanges.

The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the company is the current bid price. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, Industry Company, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. If the above criteria are not met, the market is regarded as being inactive. For example, a market is inactive when there is a wide bid-offer spread or significant increase in the bid-offer spread or there are few recent transactions.

c) ReclassificationsFinancial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near-term. In addition, the group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories, if the group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

3.8.2 Financial liabilitiesThe group's financial liabilities in the statement of financial position includes borrowings and finance lease obligations. These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at

3 4Annual Report & Accounts 2019

Page 37: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are included in current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Interest bearing borrowingsInterest bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest is the rate that exactly discounts estimated futurecash payments through the expected life of the financial liability.

3.8.3 Impairment of financial assetsa) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

The group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impairedincludes observable data that comes to the attention of the group about the following events:• significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;• a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in payments;• it becoming probable that the issuer or debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;• the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flow from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yetbe identified with the individual financial assets in the group, including: - adverse changes in the payment status of issuers or debtors in the group; or - national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group.

The group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant. If the group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on loans and receivables or held-to- maturity investments carried at amortised cost, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a held-to-maturity investment or a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under contract. As a practical expedient, the group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics (i.e., on the basis of the group’s grading process that considers asset type, industry, geographical location, past-due status and other relevant factors). Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows of such assets by being indicative of the issuer’s ability to pay all amounts due under the contractual terms of the debt instrument being evaluated.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as improved credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement.

b) Assets classified as available for saleThe group assesses at each date of the statement of financial position whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified

Page 38: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. In this respect, a decline of 20% or more is regarded as significant, and a period of 12 months or longer is considered to be prolonged. If any such quantitative evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the asset isconsidered for impairment, taking qualitative evidence into account. The cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss) is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. If in a subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement.

3.8.4 Offsetting financial instrumentsFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.9 Trade and other receivablesTrade receivables are amount due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets, if not they are presented as non-current assets. Where the potential impact of discounting future cash receipts over the short credit period is not considered to be material, trade receivables are stated at their original invoiced value. These receivables are reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

3.10 Cash and cash equivalentsCash equivalents comprises of short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment with a maturity of three months or less is normally classified as being short-term.

For the purpose of presenting the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts.

3.11 Leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

3.11.1 As LessorFinance leasesWhen assets are held subject to a finance lease, the related asset is derecognised and the present value of the lease payments (discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease) is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method (before tax), which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

Operating leasesRental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Any balloon payments and rent free periods are taken into account when determining the straight-line charge.

3.11.2 As LesseeFinance leasesAssets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the group at the fair value at the inception of the lease or if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.

The related liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

Lease payments are apportioned between interest expenses and capital redemption of the liability, Interest is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised to the cost of those assets.

Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Operating leasesOperating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except if another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits will flow to the group.

Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised in the period in which they are incurred.

3.12 Trade and other payablesTrade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due with one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Other payables are stated at their original invoiced value, as the interest that would be recognised from discounting future cash payments over the short payment period is not considered to be material.

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

Interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability.

3.14 Employee benefits3.14.1 Defined contribution pension plan

The group runs a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Under the defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

3.14.2 Defined benefit pension planA defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plan is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their services in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any recognized past service costs and fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the group’s obligation and that are denominated in the currency in which the benefit are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected credit unit method.

The group recognizes all actuarial gains or losses arising from defined benefit plans immediately in other comprehensive income and all expenses related to defined benefit plans in personnel expenses in profit or loss.The group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when thecurtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on settlement or curtailment comprises any resulting

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

change in the fair value of the plan asset, any change in the present value of defined benefit obligation, anyrelated actuarial gains or losses and past services cost that had not previously been recognised.

3.14.3 Termination benefitTermination benefit are recognized as an expense when the group is demonstrably committed without realistic possible withdrawal , to a formal detail plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefit for voluntary redundancies is recognized as expenses if the group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy and it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If the benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value.

3.13.4 Short term employee benefitsThese are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

3.15 Taxation3.15.1 Current income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the group’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

3.15.2 Deferred income taxDeferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit (loss), it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the group controls the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities, where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

The tax effects of carry-forwards of unused losses or unused tax credits are recognised as an asset when it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these losses can be utilised. Deferred tax related to fair value re-measurement of available-for-sale investments and cash flow hedges, which are charged or credited directly in other comprehensive income, is also credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income and subsequently recognised in the income statement together with the deferred gain or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

3.16 ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

3.16.1 WarrantyA provision for warranty is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated possibilities.

3.16.2 RestructuringA provision for restructuring is recognized when the group has approved a formal detail restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for.

3.16.3 Onerous contract Provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefit to be derived by the group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting its obligation under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected costs of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.

3.17 Equity instrumentsEquity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the value of proceeds received, net of costs directly attributable to the issue of the instruments. Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of tax.

Where any group purchases the group’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the group’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently sold, reissued or otherwise disposed of, any consideration received is included in equity attributable to the group’s equity holders, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects.

3.18 Compound instrumentsAt the issue date, the fair value of the liability component of a compound instrument is estimated using the market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability at amortised cost using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s redemption date. The equity component is determined as the difference of the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the instrument. This is recognised in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured.

3.19 Revenue recognition3.19.1 Sale of goods or services

Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence persists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that thesignificant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of consideration is probable, the associated cost and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probablethat discount will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

3.19.2 Investment returnInvestment return includes dividend income, interest and rent receivable, movement in amortized cost on debt securities and other loan and receivables, realized gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on fair value of the financial assets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

3.19.3 Interest incomeInterest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the assets carrying amount.

3.19.4 Rental incomeRental income is recognized on an accrued basis.

3.19.5 Realised gains and lossesThe realised gains or losses on the disposal of an asset is the difference between proceeds received, net of transaction costs and its original or amortised costs as appropriate.

3.20 Foreign currencies3.20.1 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the entities within the group. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rates applying at the reporting date. Nonmonetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

• Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings which are regarded as adjustments to interest costs , where those interest costs qualify for capitalization to assets under construction;

• Exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge foreign currency risks;• Exchange differences on loans to or form a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor

likely to occur and therefore forms part of the net investment in the foreign operation, which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal of the net investment.

3.20.2 Foreign operationsThe functional currency of the parent Company and the presentation currency of the financial statements is Nigerian Naira. The assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated to Naira using exchange rates at the year end. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that year, in which case the exchange rate on transaction date is used. Goodwill acquired in business combinations of foreign operations are treated as assets and liabilities of that operation and translated at the closing rate.

Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate category of equity.

3.21 Segment reportingThe Group‘s operating segments are organized by the nature of the operations and further by geographiclocation into geographical regions; local and foreign to highlight the contributions of foreign operations to the Group. Due to the nature of the Group, Japaul Oil’s Executive Committee regularly reviews operating activityon a number of bases, including by geographical region, customer Group and business activity bygeographical region.

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risk and rewards that are different from those of other segments.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 Group‘s operating segments were determined in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Committee, which represents the chief operating decision-maker, as this is the information CODM uses in order to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

4 0Annual Report & Accounts 2019

Page 43: Annual Report & Accounts - Japaul Group

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

All transactions between business segments are conducted on an arm‘s length basis, with intrasegment revenue and costs being eliminated in Head office. Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining business segment performance.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgementThe group makes estimate and assumption about the future that affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgment are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumption.

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in the comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of change and future period, if the change affects both.

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risks of causing material adjustment to the carrying amount of asset and liabilities in the next financial statements are discussed below:

a) Defined benefit obligationThe present value of defined benefit obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the defined benefit obligation include the discount rate, the group determines the discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimate future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the group considers the interest rates of high- quality corporate bond that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the defined benefit obligation.

b) Impairment of available-for-sale equity financial assetsThe group determines that available-for-sale equity financial assets are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the group evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price, the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow. Impairment may be appropriate when there is evidence of deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and financing and operational cash flows.

The fair values of financial instruments where no active market exists or where quoted prices are not otherwise available are determined by using valuation techniques. In these cases the fair values are estimated from observable data in respect of similar financial instruments or using models. Where market observable inputs are not available, they are estimated based on appropriate assumptions. Where valuation techniques (for example, models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independent of those that sourced them.

To the extent practical, models use only observable data; however, areas such as credit risk (both own credit risk and counterparty risk), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates.

Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

c) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Management is required to make judgement concerning the cause, timing and amount of impairment. In

the identification of impairment indicators, management considers the impact of changes in current competitive conditions, cost of capital, availability of funding, technological obsolescence, discontinuance of services and other circumstances that could indicate impairment exist.

d) Others are:i. Residual values of items of property, plant and equipment;ii. Estimated useful lives of item of property, plant and equipment;iii. Impairment of doubtful receivables.

5. Risk management frameworkThe primary objective of the group's risk management framework is to protect their stakeholders from events that hinder the sustainable achievement of financial performance objectives, including failing to exploit opportunities. Management recognises the critical importance of having efficient and effective risk management systems in place.

The group has established a risk management function with clear terms of reference from the board of Directors, its committees and the executive management committees.

This is supplemented with a clear organizational structure with documented delegated authorities and responsibilities from the board of directors to executive management committees and senior managers. Lastly, the Internal Audit unit provides independent and objective assurance on the robustness of the risk management framework, and the appropriateness and effectiveness.

The group's principal significant risks are assessed and mitigated under three broad headings:

Strategic risks – This specifically focused on the economic environment, the products offered and market. The strategic risks arised from a group's ability to make appropriate decisions or implement appropriate business plans, strategies, decision making , resource allocation and its inablity to adapt to changes in its business environment.

Operational risks – These are risks associated with inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.

Financial risks – Risk associated with the financial operation of the group, including underwriting for appropriate pricing of plans, provider payments, operational expenses, capital management, investments, liquidity and credit.

The board of directors approves the group’s risk management policies and meets regularly to approve any commercial, regulatory and organizational requirements of such policies. These policies define the group’s identification of risk and its interpretation, limit structure to ensure the appropriate quality and diversification of assets, align underwriting to the corporate goals, and specify reporting requirements to meet.

5.1 Strategic risks The following capital management objectives, policies and approach to managing the risks which affect

its capital position are adopted by the group.i. To maintain the required level of financial stability thereby providing a degree of security to clients and

plan members. ii. To allocate capital efficiently and support the development of business by ensuring that returns on capital

employed meet the requirements of its capital providers and of its shareholders.iii. To retain financial flexibility by maintaining strong liquidity.iv. To align the profile of assets and liabilities taking account of risks inherent in the business and regulatory requirements.v. To maintain financial strength to support new business growth and to satisfy the requirements of the

regulators and stakeholders.

Approach to capital managementThe group seeks to optimise the structure and sources of capital to ensure that it consistently maximises returns to the shareholders and customers.

The group's approach to managing capital involves managing assets, liabilities and risks in a coordinated way, assessing shortfalls between reported and required capital level on a regular basis.

The group's primary source of capital in 2016 is funding from the banks and foreign lenders.There has been no significant changes to its capital structure during the past year from previous years.

5.2 Operational risksOperational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with

4 2Annual Report & Accounts 2019

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

the group’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors such as provider tariffs, medical costs, premium review for adequacy, prompt premium payments and collections. Others are legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the group’s operations.

The group’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the group’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.

The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management within each unit. This responsibility is supported by the development of operational standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas:

• requirments for appropriate segregation of duties, including independent authorisation of transactions.• requirements for the reconciliation and monitoing of transactions.• compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements.• documentataion of controls and procedures.• training and professional development.• ethical and business standards.

5.3 Financial risks The group has exposure to the following risks from financial instruments:

• Credit risks• Liquidity risks• Market risks

a) Credit risksCredit risks arise from a customer payment delays or outright default; inability to fully meet contractual obligations to providers. Exposure to this risk results from financial transactions with a customer.The group has policies in place to mitigate its credit risks.

The group’s Enterprise risk management policy sets out the assessment and determination of what constitutes credit risk for the group. Compliance with the policy is monitored and exposures and breaches are reported to the group’s management. The policy is regularly reviewed for pertinence and for changes in the risk environment.

The debtors' age analysis is also evaluated on a regular basis for potential doubtful debts, where this is considered necessary. The group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.

The group allows an average debtors period of 45 days after invoice date. It is the group's policy to assess debtors for recoverability on an individual basis and to make provision where it is considered necessary. In assessing recoverability the group takes into account any indicators of impairment up until the reporting date. The application of this policy generally results in debts between 46 and 60 days not being provided for unless individual circumstances indicate that a debt is impaired. Whilst 100% of debtors balances over 365 days are provided for.

Exposure to riskThe carrying amount of the group's financial instruments represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAT 31 DECEMBER 2019 (Cont’d)

The largest individual debtor corresponds to 29% of the total balance (2018: 37%) . Historically these debtors have always paid balances when due, unless the balance or the quality of goods or services delivered is disputed. No debtors’balances have been renegotiated during the year or in the prior year.

b) Liquidity risks Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial instruments.

The group employs policies and procedures to mitigate the it’s exposure to liquidity risk.

c) Market risks Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign exchange rates (currency risk), market interest rates (interest rate risk) and market prices (price risk).

Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The group’s principal transactions are carried out in naira and dollar and its financial assets are primarily denominated in the Naira. Although it has foreign operations. its exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal as it also has liabilities denominated in foreign currencies to help mitigate risks that may arise.

5.4 Capital managementIn the management of its capital, the group has certain objectives which it intends to achieve, these include:

• the safeguarding of the group's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and the provision of an adequate return to

shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.• consistency with others in the industry, the group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt ÷ capital:• net debt is calculated as total liabilities (as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and cash

equivalents. Capital comprises all components of equity (i.e. ordinary shares, share premium, retained earnings, and other reserves).

The debt-to-capital ratios at 31 December 2019 and at 31 December 2018 were as follows:

2019 2018 2019 2018N'000 N'000 N'000 N'000

Debt-to-capital ratio 3.07 -1.70 1.87 -1.82

Group Company

The increase in the debt-to-capital ratio during 2019 is the borrowing and resultant effect of the settlement between the company and Access/Diamond bank and the debt waiver of finance lease obligations mutually agreed discharge letters.

6. Financial instruments and fair values As explained in Note 3.7, financial assets and liabilities have been classified into categories that

determine their basis of measurement and, for items measured at fair value, whether changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income or comprehensive income. These categories are: fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; available for sale assets; and, for liabilities, amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value of financial assets together with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position are as follows:

6.3 Fair valuation methods and assumptions Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payable and short term borrowings are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.The fair value of publicly traded financial instruments is generally based on quoted market prices, with unrealised gains in a separate component of equity at the end of the reporting year.

6.4 Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial positionFinancial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: for equity securities not listed on an active market and for which observable market data exist that the Group can use in order to estimate the fair value;Level 3: fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).The group maintains quoted investments in Access Bank Plc. valued at N17,534,749 (2018 : N26,947,404) which are categorised as level 1, because the securities are listed on the floor of a recognised Exchange. There are no financial instruments in the level 2 and 3 categories for the year.

6.5 Operating Segment The Group has five reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different service, and are managed separately. For each of the strategic business units, the Group's CEO reviews internal management reports on at least monthly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments.

32. Events after statement of financial position date The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic with rapid rate of spread present an alarming and unprecedented

public health crisis that overwhelms the global medical emergency response standard. With more than 400,000 deaths and over 5,000,000 infections globally. The impact extends beyond human loss to inestimable economic, business and commercial consequences of which our business is not an exemption.

Since we are not isolated from the world, our business operations were disrupted and therefore impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Business operations at our various sites were shutdown during the lockdown measures imposed by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Since our operations were not classified among the essential services, equipments were shutdown and personnel demobilised and stayed home while the executive order lasted. Business development activities and recovery efforts on outstanding income were completely inactive. The restrictions on interstate travel after the easing or the lockdown still did not change the situation as our business is beyond Lagos. However, our assessment of the situation does not present any going concern issues to our business, except for the loss of income and having to incur recurrent expenditures within the period of the lockdown. We have had to retain all our personnel and continue to pay salary of employees, keep touch with employees to ensure necessary safety precautions as advised by NCDC are followed to the letter. Our business will on-stream on the cancellation of the lockdown.

Apart from the above, no event or transaction has occurred since the reporting date, which would have had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements as at that date or which needs to be mentioned in the financial statement in the interests of fair presentation of the Group's financial position as at the reporting date or its result for the year then ended.

33. Contingent liabilities There were no contingent liabilities at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018 : N400,620,482) in respect of

legal claims made against the group. The Board of Directors are of the opinion that the liabilities will not crystallise, and therefore no provision is made in these consolidated financial statements.

34. Comparative figures Certain comparative figures in these financial statements have been restated to give a more meaningful

comparison.
