b. During the year ended June 30, 2019, Gbogbonise Enterprises having qualified for the 25% local equity participation, received the following grants from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
(i) On September 1, 2018, a grant of N1 million was received from CBN. The grant was in respect of training casual workers. The training cost incurred by Gbogbonise Enterprises in this respect, was N1.75 million.
(ii) On November 1, 2018, Gbogbonise Enterprises acquired plant and equipment costing N8.75 million and received a grant of N2.5 million from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in respect of the purchase. The plant and equipment which has a residual value of N1.25 million is depreciated on straight-line basis over its useful life of 5 years.
(iii) On June 1, 2019, a grant of N2.5 million was made by CBN. The grant was in respect of relocation costs that Gbogbonise Enterprises had incurred for movement of its business to a free trade zone allocated to Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSME). The grant is repayable in full unless Gbogbonise Enterprises recruits at least one hundred (100) employees from the free trade zone local area by the end of the month of June 2019. Gbogbonise is finding it difficult to recruit this number of employees in the local area.

Note: Government grant of N2.5million in respect of recruitment of employees in free trade zone areas was not accounted for because it has a condition attached to it; and Gbogbonise Enterprises could not meet up the condition hence the grant should not be recognized as stipulated in IAS 20 on accounting for government grants, rather it should be treated as a liability.
