Additional Information:

  1. Three years ago, on May 1, 2018, RAM Plc acquired 80% of the ordinary share capital of DAM Plc when DAM’s retained earnings were N110m. There were no new share issues since the group structure was created. The fair value of non-controlling interests at acquisition was N160m, and the fair value of DAM Plc’s net assets was N850m at that date. Any fair value adjustments related to inventory were realized by the current year-end.
  2. Two years ago, to veil the identity of the true owner of TAM Plc, RAM Plc acquired 40%, while DAM Plc acquired 25% of TAM’s ordinary share capital on the same date, when the retained earnings of TAM Plc were N65m and those of DAM Plc were N160m. The fair value of non-controlling interest in TAM Plc was N155m as at acquisition, with no revaluation reserve in TAM’s books at that time. The fair values of TAM Plc’s net assets as at acquisition were not materially different from their carrying amount.
  3. The group operates in the oil industry and incurs expenditure on research and development. These costs, previously written off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred, are reinstated when the related products are commercialized. The reinstated costs are shown as ‘Development Inventory.’ The costs do not meet IAS 38 criteria for classification as intangibles, and net cash inflows are unlikely to exceed development costs. DAM Plc included N22m of these costs in inventory this year.
  4. DAM Plc purchased significant new production equipment this year. Its cost before a trade discount was N60m, with a discount of N12m taken to the income statement. Depreciation is on a straight-line basis over six years.
  5. The group policy now states tangible non-current assets at depreciated historical cost. This year, the group changed from the revaluation model to the cost model under IAS 16, except for TAM Plc’s tangible non-current assets, which were revalued by TAM Plc’s directors on the first day of the current year, creating an N80m revaluation reserve. TAM Plc’s assets were initially purchased on May 1, two years prior, at N320m, depreciated over six years. The group does not transfer revaluation reserves to retained earnings annually for excess depreciation. There were no additions or disposals in TAM’s assets over the last two years.
  6. Goodwill from DAM Plc’s acquisition was impairment tested each year; the current year-end revealed a recoverable value of N900m for DAM Plc. TAM Plc’s goodwill has not been impaired since acquisition.
  7. The group policy is to value non-controlling interests at fair value.
