The Group is engaged in various business lines ranging from property-casualty insurance, life/ health insurance and leasing. The Group's products are classified at
inception, for accounting purposes, as either Insurance contracts or Investment contracts
A contract that is classified as insurance contract remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during
this period; unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Investment contracts can, however, be reclassified as insurance contracts after inception if
insurance risk becomes significant.
1.3 Going concern
These consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, supported by reasonable Judgments and estimates. The
Directors have a reasonable expectation, based on an appropriate assessment of a comprehensive range of factors, that the Group has adequate resources to continue
as going concern for the foreseeable future and has no intention or need to reduce substantially its business operations. Liquidity ratio and continuous evaluation of
current ratio of the Group is carried out to ensure that there are no going concern threats to the operation of the Group.
2.1 Basis of accounting
Statement of compliance
The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (1FRSs) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in the manner required by the Companies and Allied Matters Act, Cap C.20, Laws of the Federation of Ni ge ra, 2004,
the Financial Reporting Act, 2011, the Insurance Act 2003 and relevant National Insurance Commission (N AI COM) circulars.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency These consolidated and separate financial statements are presented in Nigerian Na ira, which 15 the Group's and Company's functional and presentatic n currency Except
as indicated, financial information presented in Nava has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
2.3 Basis of measurement
These consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following items which are measured on an
alternative basis on each reporting date.
• financia l instruments a t fair va l ue through prof i t or loss measured affair value.
• available-for-sale financial instruments measured at fair value
• insurance contract liabilities measured at present value of projected cash, flows
• investment properties measured at fair value
2.4 Use of estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 1FRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainties and critical Judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the consolidated and separate financial statements are described in note 4.
2.5 Reporting period
The financial statements have been prepared for a 3-month period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020.
26 Changes in accounting policies
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies as set out in note 3 to all periods presented in these financial statements. The
effective interpretations and standards that have been adopted for first quarter ended 31 March 2020 are as follows:
Ill IFR3 16 /daavis
The Company has adopted 1FRS 16, "Leases" as issued by the 145B in July 2014 with a date of transition of 1 January 2019, which resulted in changes in accounting
policies The adoption of [FRS 16 did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements as the company's leases are mostly short term and low value
in nature and the Company has elected to apply the exemption for such leases.
(n) treatments (IFRIC 23)
The amendment clarifies how to determine the accounting tax positron when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.
The interpretation requires an entity to:
determine whether each tax treatment should be considered independently or whether some tax treatments should be considered together, and assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings
• If yes, the entity should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tan treatment used or planned to be used in its Income tax filings
* If no, the entity should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position. The Group has adopted IFRIC 23 effective I .anua ry 2019 The
adoption did not result in a material Impact on the Group's financial statements.
2 7 Effective standards not yet adopted by the Group
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 became effective for financial year commencing on or after I January 2018 but the standard has not been adopted in preparing these financial statements as the
Group elected to adopt the deferral approach available to insurance companies.
IFRS 9 is part of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 Ions:non, In allIPIO PIS Retogninon and Measurement IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the r lassilicatron and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected crest loss model for calculating impairinent on financial assets, and new general hedge accour ling requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and de- recognition of fmancial Instruments from IAS 39.
IFRS 9 replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in IAS 39 with a single model that has only three classification categories ammo( sad cost, fart Yalue through Oct and fair value through profit or loss
furthermore for non-derivative ftnanclal Irabtlities designated at falrvalue through profit or loss, It requires that the credo risk component of fair value gains and losses be separated and included in OCI rather than in the income statement.
Cla 'cation and Measurement
The standard uses one primary approach to determine whether to measure a financial asset at amortised cost, fair value through other cornprehensio income (FVTOCIL
or fair value through profit or loss IFVTPL) as against the IAS 39 classifications of FVTPL, Available-for-Sale (AFS) financial assets, Loans and Receivables and Held-to-
Maturity INTO) investments. The Group's business model is the determining factor for classifying its financial assets. Financial assets are meaasured at amortised cost if
the business objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SRN. Financial assets are
measured at fair value through OCI if the business's objective is to collect contractual cash flows as well as cash flows from selling the asset.
The
a
final category of financial assets are those assets where the business model is neither to hold for solely to collect the contractual cashflows nor selling to collect the
cashflows and therfore classified as at fair value through profit or loss. These are financial assets that are held with the objective of trade and to realize fair value
changes. The Group can also designate some of its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if this helps to eliminate an accounting mismatch.
Impairment
IFRS 9 also requires that creek losses expected at the balance sheet date (rather than those incurred as at year-end) are reflected at the date of reporting on all financial
assets This approach is an expected credit loss (ECL( model as opposed to the incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. This approach does not require a credit loss event
to have occurred before the recognition of the loss at the reporting date. The amount of the expected credit losses is expected to be updated at each reporting date to
reflect changes in credit risks since initial recognition.
CO. a determined by multiplying the Exposure At Default (EAD) by the Probability of Default (PD) and the Loss Given Default (LGD).
The Group and Company do not currently have an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for financial assets; hence the potential impact of the ECL impairment on profit or
loss and equity has not been estimated. However, it is not expected that the impact would be significant due to the nature of the financial assets in the Group and
Company.
Amendments to IFRS 4 Appion,, /1-Al 9J s 1.1 4 onuran
In September 2016, the IASE. published an amendment to IFRS 4 which addresses the concerns of insurance companies about the different effective dates of IFRS 9
;Manson muniments and the forth-coming new insurance contracts standard, (FRS 17. The amendment provides two different solutions for insurano companies a
temporary exemption from IFRS 9 (I e the deferral Lipp ouch') for entrees that meet specific requirements (applied at the reporting entity leseD, and the 'overlay
approach' Both approaches are optional The effective date 15 I January 201g or when the entity first applies IFRS 9 IFRS 4 (including the amendments) writ be
superseded by the forth-coining new Insurance contracts standard, IFRS 17 Accordingly, both the temporary exemption and the Wort lay approat arc expected to cease
Si, he applicable when the new insurance standard becomes effective

In response to concerns regarding ternporary accounting mismatches and volatility, and Increased costs and cow plenty, the IASES issued amendments to IFRS 4
insurance Contracts
line amendments reduce the impacts, but companies need to carefully confider their IFRS 9 implementation approach to decide if and bow to use them The wo optional
solutions raise sonic constderations Glitch require detailed analysis and management Ludisement
The optional solutions are
I emporary exemption from IFRS 9 - Some Companies will be permitted to continue to apply IAS 39 rotanctal Inamorata Recoatutcon and tdecostranert
qualify for this exemption the company's activities need to he predominantly connected with insurance. A company's activities are predominantly connected with
nsuiance IC and only if
(a) the amount of as insurance liabilities is fignificant compared with its total amount of liabilities, and
(5) the percentage of its [Lath fates connected with insurance relative to its total amount of liabtlates
III greater than 90 percent or
(n) less than or equal to 90 percent but greater than 80 percent, and the Company does not engage in a scgnifi cant activity unconnected with Insurance
Li abi hues connected with insurance Include investment connects measured at FVTIM„ and liabilities that arise because the insurer issues, or fulfils obligator
from, these contracts (such as deferred tax liabilities arising on its insurance contracts)
2. Overlay approach -This solution provides an overlay approach to alleviate temporary accounting mismatches and volatility. For designated financial assets, a
company is permitted to reclassify between profit or loss and other comprehensive income (OCI I, the difference between the amounts recognised in profit or loss under
IFRS 9 and those that would have been reported under IAS 39 .
With respect to !FRS 9 above, the Group is eligible to apply 1E55 9 deferral approach since IFRS 9 has not been previously applied by the Group and the activities of the
Group are predominantly connected with insurance. To determine if the Group's activities are predominantly connected with insurance, The Group has assessed the
ratio of the Group's liabilities connected with insurance - including investment contracts liabilities - conn pared with it's total liabilities. See the assessment below:

Given a score of 86.7% for the Group (Company 88 8%1, we assessed whether the Group engages in a significant activity unconnected with insurance. Based on our
assessment, we concluded that the Group does not engage in a significant activity unconnected with Insurance since majority of the activities from which the Group
earns income and Incur expenses are Insurance-related
The Group has elected to apply the temporary exemption from IFRS 9 (deferral approach) and qualifies for the temporary exemption based on the foilowing:
a) Its activities are predominantly connected with insurance contracts;
b) As at 31 December 2015, which is the reporting date that Immediately precedes 1 April 2016, the carrying amount of its flab-dl ies arising from insrea ace contracts was
N7.715b (Company: PI6.91b) which was 86.8% (Company: 88.8%) of the total carrying amount of all its liabilities as at that date.
c( The Group's activities have remained the same and are predominantly connected with insurance contracts. The majority of the activities from which the Group earns
income and incur expenses are insurance-related.
Based on the above, the Group will apply IFRS 9 together with !FRS 17 in 2022

3 Significant Account Policies
Accounting policies are the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by en entity in preparing and presenting financial statements.
Except for the changes explained in note 2.6 above, the accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial
statements
3.1 Basis of Consolidation
Business combination and goodwill
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is
generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related
to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised 'n profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial
instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration rs remeasured at
fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
ent with the
entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group reassesses whether it has control if there are changes w or more of
the elements of control. This includes circumstances in which protective rights held (e.g. those resulting from a lending relationship) become substantive and lead to the
Group having power over an investee. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control
ceases.
Loss of control When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related Non-controllling interest (NCI) and other
components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is
lost.
Non. controlling interests Non-controlling Interest (NCI) are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Transaction eliminated on consolidation penses (except for for& rr gn cuency transaction gains or losses) arising from intraigroup
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and ex
transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
3.2 Insurance contracts
(i) Classification IFIVS 4 requires contracts weitten by insurers to be classified as either 'insurance contracts' or 'investment contracts' depending on the level of insurance risk transferred
Insurance contracts are those contracts when the insurer has accepted significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholders) by agreeing to compensate the
policyholders if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholders. The Group's insurance contract liabilities represent its liability to the policy holders. Liabilities for unpaid claims are estimated on case by case bas s The liabilities
recognised for claims fluctuate based on the nature and severity of the claim reported. Claims incurred but not reported are determined using statistical analyses and
F in
Group deems liabilities reported as adequate. The liability comprises reserves for unexpired risk, outstanding claims and incurred but not reported claims.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as insurance contracts. Liability adequacy testing is performed to ensure that the carrying amount of the liability for
financial guarantee contracts is sufficient. At the end of each accounting period, the insurance contract liability is reflected as determined by the actuarial valuation report.
The Group also insure events associated with human life (for example, death or survival) over a long duration and has short term life insurance contracts which protect
the Company's policyholders from the Cortequences of events (such as death or disability) that would affect the ability of the insured or his/her dependants to maintain
their current level of income Guaranteed benefits paid on occurrence of the specified insurance event are either fixed or linked to the extent of the economic loss
suffered by the insured or the beneficiary.
A number of insurance and investment contracts contain a Discretionary Participation Feature (DPF) This feature entitles the holder to receive,

guaranteed benefits, additional benefits or bonuses.

Company, fund or other entity
Long-term insurance business (i.e. long-term insurance contracts with fined and guaranteed terms, and long-term insurance contracts without hoed terms and with
discretionary participation features -OFF) includes insurance business of all or any of the following classes, namely; life insurance business, superannuation business and
business incidental to any such class of business. For contracts with OFF features, the actuary calculates the bonus due to the policy holders and is accounted for as part
of the insurance or investment contract liabilities.
Life assurance business means the business of, or in relation to, the issuing of, or the undertaking of liability to pay money on death (not being death by accident or in
specified sickness only) or on the happening of any contingency dependent on the termination On
continuance of human life (either with or wo hoot provision for a
benefit under a continuous disability insurance contract), and include a contract which is subject to the payment of premiums for a term de pertlent on the termination
or continuation of human life and any contract securing the grant of an annuity for a term dependent upon human life,
(el Recognition and Measurement of Insurance contracts
Premium
Premium income is recognised on assumption of risks. Gross written premiums for insurance contracts comprise premiums received in cash as well as premiums that have been received and confirmed as being he on
behalf of the Company by insurance brokers and have been duly certified Gross written premiums are stated gross of taxes payable and stamp duties that are payable
to relevant regulatory bodies respectively. Unearned premiums represent the proportions of premiums written in the year that relate to the unexpired risk of policies in force at the reporting date.
Gross premium income is gross written premiums less changes in unearned premium.
Claims d during the financial year and changes in the provision for outstanding claims Claims and claims Claims incurred comprise claims and claims handling expenses incurre
handling expenses are charged to profit or loss as incurred.
For long term insurance business, benefits are recorded as an expense when they are incurred, Claims arising on maturing policies are recognized when the claims
become due for payment Death claims are accounted for on notification. Surrenders are accounted for on payment.
Outstanding claims represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims arising from incidents occurring prior to the end of reporting date, bu' not settled at that
date. Adjustments to the amount of claims provisions established in prior years are accounted for prospectively in the financial statements for the period in which the
adjustments are made, and disclosed se perately If material
Claims and loss adjustment expenses are recognised in statement of profit or loss when incurred based on the estimated liability for compensation owed to contract
holders or third parties damaged by the contract holders.
Salvage and subrogation reimbursement
Some insurance contracts permit the Group to sell (usually damaged) property acquired in settling a claim (for example salvage). The Company may also have the right
to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs (for example subrogation).
Salvaged property is recognized in other assets when the amount that can reasonably be recovered from the disposal of the property has been established and salvage
recoveries are included as part of claims recoveries. Subrogation reimbursements are recognized in claim recoveries when the amount to be recovered from the liable
third party has been established.
(iii) Insurance contract liabilities
These represent the Company's liabilities to the policyholders. They comprise the unearned premium, outstanding claims and the incurred but no' reported claims. At
the end of each reporting period, these liabilities are reflected as determined by an actuarial valuation.
Unearned premium provision
The provision for unearned premiums represents the proportion of premiums written in the periods up to the accounting date that relate to the unexpired terms of
policlies in force at the end of the reporting date. This is estimated to be earned in subsequent financial periods, computed separately for each
It urance contract using
a time apportionment basic The change in the provision is recorded in the income statement to recognise revenue over the period of the risk.
Reserve for unexpired risk A provision for additional unexpired risk reserve is recognised for an underwriting year where it Is envisaged that the estimated cost of claims and expenses exceed the
unearned premium provision.
Reserve for outstanding claims Outstanding claims represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims arising from incidents occurring prior to the end of reporting date but not settled at that
date.
Reserve for incurred but not reported claims (If IHR) A provision is made for claims incurred but not yet reported as at the end of the financial year. This provision is based on the liability adequacy test report from the
registered actuary engaged by the Group.
Liability adequacy test
At the end of each reporting period, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure that material and reasonably foreseeable losses arising frc m existing contractual
obligations are recognised. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows, claims handling and administration expenses. investment
income backing such liabilities are considered. Long-term insurance contracts are measured based on assumptions set out at the inception of the contract Any
deficiency is recognised in profit or loss by increasing the carrying amount of the related insurance liabilities.
The Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) was carried out by a recognized firm of actuaries, O&A Hedge Actuarial Consulting (FRC/2019/00000012909)
Actuarial valuation An actuarial valuation of the insurance contract liabilities is conducted annually to determine the liabilities on the existing policies as at the date of the valuation.
Actuarial valuation of the life fund is conducted annually to determine the liabilities on the existing policies and the adequacy of the assets representing the insurance
fund as at the date of valuation. All surpluses and deficits arising therefrom are charged to profit or lost. See note 43 for further details on actuarial valuation techniques,
methodologies, assumptions etc.
3.3 Revenue recognition
(I) Gross premium written

accounting period. It is recognized at the point of attachment of risk to a policy, gross of commission expense, and before deducting cost of reinsurance cover and
unearned portion of the premium. Gross premium written and unearned premiums are measured in accordance with the policies set out in 3.254 and 3.2(ii) of the
statement of accounting policies respectively.
(ill Gross premium income This represents the earned portion of premium received and is recognized as revenue including changes in unearned premium. Premiums are earned from the date of
attachment of risk, over the insurance period, based on the pattern of risk underwritten. Outward reinsurance premiums are recognized as an expense in accordance
with the pattern of risk reinsured.
(ii) Fees and commission income Fees and commission income consists primarily of insurance agency and brokerage commission, reinsurance and profit commissions, policyholder administration fees
and other contract fees. Reinsurance commissions receivable are deferred In the same way as acquisition costs. All other fee and commission income are recognized as

(iv) Investment income on financial assets Investment income on financial assets is composed of interest income and dividend income.
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss as it accrues and is calculated by using the effective interest rate method. Fees and commissions that are an integral part of
the effective yield of the financial asset or liability are recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the instrument. The effective interest rate is the rate
that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net
carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.
(v) Realized gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses
Realized gains and losses on investments include gains and losses on financial assets and investment properties. Gains and losses on the sale of investments are
calculated as the difference between net sales proceeds and the original or amortized cost and are recorded on occurrence of the sale transaction.
Unrealized gains or losses represent the difference between the carrying value at the year end and the carrying value at the previous year end or purchase value during
the year, less the reversal of previously recognized unrealized gains and losses in respect of disposals during the year

it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities normally comprise of legal claims under arbitration or court process in respect of which a liability may crystallize.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Contingent assets are never recognised but are
disclosed in the financial statements when they arise.
3.28 Share capital and other reserves
Share capital
are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of tax. 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
Where any of the Group entities purchases the Company'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 Company's equity holders.
Where such shares are subsequently sold, reissued or otherwise and the related income tax effects, disposed of, any consideration received is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs
Share premium
This represents the excess amount paid by shareholders on the nominal value of the shares. This amount is db unbuta bre to the shareholders at their discretion. The share premium is classified as an equity instrument in the statement of financial position. Treasury shares
Own equity instruments which are acquired (treasury shares)are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration is recognised in other capital reserves.
Voting rights related to treasury shares are nullified for the Group and no dividends are allocated to them respectively.
Retained earnings/Accumulated losses
as part of equity in the statement of financial position.
Retained earnings/Accumulated losses comprises undistributed profit/
)loss) from previous years and the current year Retained earnings/Accumulated losses is classified
Contingency reserve
The Nigerian Insurance regulations require the Group to make an annual appropriation to a statutory reserve. As stipulated by section 21(1) of Insurance Act 2003, the contingency reserve for Non-life insurance business is credited with
the greater of 3% of total premium, or 20% of the net profits. This shall accumulate until it reaches the greater of minimum paid-up capita I
and 50% percent of the net premium. For life business, the contigency reserve is credited with an amount equal to 1% of gross premium or 10% of net profit (whichever N greater) and accumulated until it reaches the amount of re imimum paid-up capital.
ARS fart- value reserve
The fair value reserve comprises the cumu l e net change in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets until the assets are derecognised or impaired.
17
for losses-occurring contracts.
Insurance claims recoverable from reinsurance cornpanies
Insurance claims recoverables from reinsurance companies are estimated in manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision and claims incurred associated
with the reinsurer's polices and are in accordance with the related insurance contract. They are measured at their carrying amount less impairment charges. Amounts
recoverable under reinsurance contracts are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. If there Is objective evidence of impairment, the Company reduces the
carrying amount of its insurance assets to its recoverable amount and recognizes the impairment loss in profit or loss as a result of an event that occur red after its initial
recognition, that the Company may not recover all amounts due and that the event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Company will receive from
the reinsurer.
3.6 Investment contracts
Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer financial risks with no significant insurance risk.
Financial risk is the risk of a possible future change in one or more of a specified interest rate, security price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate. index of prices or
rates, credit rating or credit index or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract.
The Group enters into investment contracts with guarantee returns and other businesses of savings nature. Those contracts are termed investment contract liabilities
and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.
Finance cost on investment contract liabilities is recognised as an expense in profit or loss using the effective interest rate.
3] Deferred acquisition costs ,
The incremental costs directly attributable to the acquisition of new business which has not expired at the reporting date, are deferred by recognizing an asset.
Acquisition costs include both incremental acquisition costs and other indirect costs of acquiring and processing new businesses.
Deferred acquisition costs are amortised systematically over the life of the contracts at each reporting date.
3.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank and call deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less,
which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and used by the Group to manage its short term commitments. Cash and cash equivalents are
measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial position.
3.9 Financial Instruments
Classification
The classification of the Group's financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and are determined at the time of initial recognition. The
financial assets have been recognised in the statement of financial position and measured in accordance with their assigned classifications.
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories;
• financial assets at fair value through Profit or loss (fiirfiLli
• held-to-maturity financial assets; and
• loans and receivables.
• available-for-sale financial assets
The Group's financial liabilities are classified as other financial lia bilities. They include trade and other payables.
Initial recognition All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value, which includes directly attributable transaction costs for financial instruments not classified as fair value
through profit and loss.
Subsequent Measurement
Subsequent to Initial recognition, financial assets are measured either at fair value or amortised cost, depending on their categorization as follows.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable
transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, including
any interest expense or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positiveintent and ability to
hold to maturity, and which are not designated at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale,
Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any sale or reclassification of a significant amount of held-to-maturity
investments not close to their maturity would result in the reclassification of all held-to-maturity investments as available-for- sale and this prevents the Group from
assifying investment securities as held-to-maturity for the current and the following two financial years.
H owever, sales and reclassifications in any of the following circumstances would not trigger a reclassification:
Sales or reclassification that are so close to maturity that changes on the market rate of interest would not have a significant effect on the financial asset's fair value.
• Group has collected substantially
Sales or reclassification attributable to non-recurring isolated events beyond the Group's control that could not have been reasonably anticipated.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables on the statement of financial position comprise trade receivables and other receivables.
Loans and receivables, after initial measurement, are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method less any impairment Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
When the asset is impaired, the impairment losses are carried on the statement of financial position as a deduction from the carrying amount of the loans and
receivables and recognized in profit or loss as impairment losses.
9
Available-for-sale financial itssets
Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative investments that are not designated as another category of financial assets. Unquoted equity securities whose fair
value cannot be relDbly measured are carried at cost. All other available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss when the Group becomes entitled to the
dividend. Foreign exchange gains or losses on available-for-sale debt security investments are recognised in profit or loss.
Other fair value changes are recognised directly in other comprehensive income until the investment Is sold or impaired where upon the cumulative gains and losses
previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. As at the reporting date, the Group's investment
in quoted equities are classified as available for sale financial assets.
Amortised cost measurement
The amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus
or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount recognised and the maturity a mount, minus any
reduction for impairment.
Fair value measurement
Fair value' is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance
risk.
When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if
transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses a valuation technique that maximises the use of relevant observable inputs and minirnize the use of
unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received.
If the Group determines that the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active
market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, then the financial instrumert is initially
measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is
recognized in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or
the transaction is closed out.
If an asset or a ha bi lity measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, then the Group measures assets and long positions at a bid price and liabilities and short
positions at an ask price.
Portfolios of financial assets and financial liabilities that are exposed to market risk and credit risk and managed by the Group on the basis of the net exposure to either
market or credit risk are measured on the basis of a price that would be received to sell a net long position for paid to transfer a net short position) for a particular risk
exposure. Those portfolio-level adjustments are allocated to the individual assets and liabilities on the basis of the relative risk adjustment of each of the individual
instruments in the portfolio.
The fair value of a demand deposit is not less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date on which the amount could be required to be paid .
Identification and measurement of impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are impaired. Financial
assets are impaired when objective evidence demonstrates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that the loss event has an impact
on the future cash flows on the asset that can be estimated reliably. The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables and held-to-maturity
investments individually and collectively. Assets showing signs of deterioration are assessed for individual impairment. All individually significant loans and receivables
and held-to maturity investments found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified by
grouping together financial assets (carried at amortised cost) with similar risk characteristics.
Objectreft evidence that financial assets are impaired include significant financial difficulty of the obligor, default or delinquency by a borrower resulting in a breach of
contract, restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not otherwise consider, indications that a borrower or issuer will enter
bankruptcy, the disappearance of an active market for a security, or other observable data relating co a group of assets such as adverse changes in the payment status of
borrowers or issuers in the group, or economic conditions that correlate with defaults in the group. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or
prolonged decline in its fair value below cost is objective evidence of impairment.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale investment securities are recognised by transferring the difference between the carrying amount and current fair value out of
equity to profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be objectively related to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit and loss, the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit and
lost However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. The Group writes
off certain loans and receivables when they are determined to be uncollectible.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are set off and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a .egal right to set off
the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the lie beity simultaneously.
10
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRSs, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transac
De-recognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial assets in a transaction in
which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Any interest in transferred financial assets that qualify for de-recognition that is
created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability in the statement of financial position. On de-recognition of the financial assets, the
difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset transferred), and the sum of (i) thsi consideration
received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (li)any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income
is recognised in profit and loss. The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its financial position, but retains either all or substantially
all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. If all or substantially all risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred assets are not
derecognised from the financial position.
In transactions in which the Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and it retains :antral over the
asset, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed to charges in the value of
the transferred asset. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired.
3.10 Trade receivables Trade receivables comprise premium receivables. Premium receivables are those for which credit notes issued by brokers are within 30 days after the reporting date, in
conformity with the "NO PREMIUM, NO COVER" NAICOM poky.
3.11 Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transact on.
3.12 Trade and other payables
Trade payables Trade payables are recognized when due. These include amounts due to agents, reinsurers and co-assurers. Trade payables are recognized initially sit fa it value and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the
due data is less than one year, discounting is not applied.
Accruals and other payables
Other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of a non-
interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date is less than one year, discounting is not applied.
3.13 Other receivables and prepayments Other receivables principally consist of accrued income, intercompany receivable and sundry debtors. Prepayments are essentially prepaid rents, prepaid insurance and
other prepaid balances. Other receivables and prepayments are measured at amortised cost.
3.14 Investment properties investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes) or fcr both purposes, but
not for sale in the ordinary course of business.
Recognition and measurement
Investment properties are measured initially at cost plus any directly attributable expenses. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from
changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Fair values of the investment properties are evaluated
and assessed annually by an accredited external valuer.
De-recognition
An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are
expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset) is recognized in profit or loss in the period of de-recognition. The carrying amount of the asset represents the fair value of the asset as at the date
of the latest valuation before disposal.
Transfers
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner occupies property, the
deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Croup accounts for
such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and equipment up to the date of change. Subsequently, the property is re-measured to fair value and
reclassified as investment property.
3.15 Investment in Joint venture
A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has (NM control as well as rightsto the net assets of the rrangement, rather than rights to its assets and
obligations for its liabilities.
Interests in associates and the Joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are Initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity-accounted trivestees, until the
date on which the Joint control ceases. The Group evaluates its investment in joint venture in line with the provisions of IFR511- Joint Venture.
11
3.16 Property and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour.
any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring
the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part
of equipment.When parts of an item of property or equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and
equipment.
Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property or equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits
embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably, The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-
day servicing of property and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis to write down the cost of each asset, to their
residual values over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment. Leased assets under finance lease are depreciates: over the shorter of
the lease term and their useful lives. Depreciation begins when an asset is available for use and ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is derecognised or
classified as held for sale in accordance with WAS 5. A non-current asset or disposal group is not depreciated while it is classified as held for sale.
Depreciation is calculated over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:
Land
Leasehold improvements
Office equipments
Furniture and fittings
Computer equipment
Motor vehicles
at
Not depreciated

De-recognition An item of property and equipment is de recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-
recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the
asset is derecog nisei
Impairment
Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for Impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. 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
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell or the value in use.
3.17 Intangible assets
Computer software
Software acquired by the Group is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure on internally developed software is
recognised as an asset when the Group is able to demonstrate its intention and ability to complete the development and use the software in a manner that will generate
future economic benefits and can reliably measure the costs to complete the development. The capitalised costs of internally developed software nclude all costs
directly attributable to developing the software and are amortised over its useful life. Internally developed software is stated at capitalised cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment. Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.
Amortisation is recognised In profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, from the date that it is available for use since this most
closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful life of software is five years.
Amortisation method, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Intangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition is
included in profit of loss in the year the asset is de recognised.
3.16 Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets other than deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an
asset or Its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash flows that are
largely independent from other assets. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In
respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer
exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the
extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised.
12
3 19 Income and deferred tax
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect
of previous yearn The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflews uncertainty
related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.
Minimum tax
The Company is subject to the Finance Act (amendments made to Companies Income Tax Act (CITA)). Total amount of tax payable under the new Fir a nce Act shall not
be less than 0.5% of the Company's gross premium. Taxes based on taxable profit for the period are treated as income tax in line with IAN 12; whereas Minimum tax
which is based on a gross amount is outside the scope of IAS 12 and therefore, are not presented as part of income tax expense in the profit or loss.
Where the minimum tax charge is higher than the Company Income Tax (CIT), a hybrid tax situation exists. In this situation, the LIT is recognized in the income tax
expense line in the profit or loss and the excess a mount is presented above the income tax line as Minimum tax.
Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose: and the amounts
used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
• temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor
taxable profit or loss;
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
• taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill,
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be availa ble against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Gf0Up expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax
authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realised simultaneously. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group considers the impact of tax exposures, including whether additional taxes and interest may be due.
This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New Information may become available that causes the
Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities: such changes to tax liabilities would Impact tax expense in the period in which such a
determination is made.
3.2 Statutory deposits Statutory deposits are cash balances held with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CB N) in compliance with the Insurance Act 2003. The deposits are only available as a last
resort to the Group if it goes into liquidation. Statutory deposits are measured at amortised cost,
3.21 Hypothecation of assets The Company structured its assets to meet the requirements of the Insurance Act 2003 such that policyholders' assets and funds
are not co-mingled with shareholders.
In particular, investment securities and insurance funds hypothecated to policyholders are distinguished from those owned by the shareholders. The assets
hypothecated are shown in note 44 of the financial statements.
3.22 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has
been announced publicly. Future operating costs are not provided for. A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting
its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost
of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract
3.23 Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits/Personnel expenses
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised 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.
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense In profit or loss when they are due in respect of service rendered before
the end of the reporting period. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. The
Group contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. Obligations in respect of the Group's contributions to the scheme are recognised as an
expense in the profit and loss account on an annual basis. The employee and the Group contribute 8% and 10% respectively of basic salary, housisg, and transport
allowance to each employee's retirement savings account maintained with their nominated Pension Fund Administrators.
3,24 Earnings/loss per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
13
shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss
14
attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Earnings
per share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted number of ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus shares
issued.
325 Leases
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases effective 1 January 2019.
IFRS 16 Introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for leases. As a result, the Group, as a lessee has recognized the sight-of-use assets representing its right
to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessors accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies.
Policy applicable from 1 January 2019
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an Identified asset, the
Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16,
This policy is applied to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after 1 January 2019.
The Group as a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates consideration in the contract to each lease component on the
basis of its relative standalone price. However, for leases of branches and office premises the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for
the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the
initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of
costs to dismantle and remove any improvements
made to branches or office premises.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-
use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re mea sure ments of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its Incremental borrowing rate as
the discount rate .
The Group determines its incremental borrowing sate by analysing its borrowings from various external sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of
the lease and type of asset leased .
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following
fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date,
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably
certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early .
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a
change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its
assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability Is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if
the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether the lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
underlying asset If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indtca tors
such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
Policy applicable before 1 January 2019
f or contracts entered Into before 1 January 2019, the Group determined whether the arrangement was or contained a lease based on the assessment of whether.
- fulfilment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and
- the arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset .
As a lessee
The Group did not have any finance leases under 145 17.
Assets held under other leases were classified as operating leases and were not recognised in the Group's statement of financial position. Payments made under
operating leases were recognised in profit or loss on a stra ight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease Incentives received were recognised as an integral part of the
total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
As a lessor When the Group acted as a lessor, it determined at lease inception whether each lease was a finance lease or an operating lease .
To classify each lease, the Group made an overall assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the
15
underlying asset. If this was the case, then the lease was a finance lease; if not, then it was an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considered certain
indicators such as whether the lease was for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
