Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
03
Champion Breweries Plc the “Company”, was incorporated as a private limited liability Company in Cross-River State in 1974 as “South East Breweries Limited”. This was changed to “Cross River Breweries Limited” and thereafter to “Champion Breweries Limited”.
The Company became a public limited liability company on the 1st of September 1992 and was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of September 1, 1993.
In December 1976, “Champion Lager beer” was successfully launched into the market. Production capacity was increased from 150,000 to 500,000 hectolitres by the commissioning of a second production line in December 1979.
With high quality and good market performance, Champion Lager Beer and Champ Malta won several awards which are not limited to the Silver Medal in Paris, International Medal for Quality at the 16th World Selection for Beers and non-alcoholic beverages in Luxemburg, Pearl highest Share Price Appreciation in the Nigerian Stock market in 2002, NIS Silver Award in 2005 and NIS Gold Award in 2006.
The Company embarked on an expansion plan which involved substantial amount of resources that could not be recouped. The non-completion of the expansion projects arising from inadequate capital forced the Company to close its doors for business for eleven years from 1990.
The Company’s brewery was officially re-opened in October 2001. In addition, the Company successfully held an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders during which approval was granted for the authorized share capital of the Company to be increased from N26 million to N450million.
In January 2011, Heineken acquired an indirect interest in the Company through its acquisition of Messrs. Montgomery Ventures Incorporated (MVI) of Panama. On 28 December 2011, Consolidated Breweries acquired a 57% equity stake in Champion Breweries which was previously held by Montgomery Ventures Inc. (Panama). In December 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved the sale of Consolidated Breweries holding in the Company to The Raysun Nigeria Limited “Raysun”, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heineken, via a Scheme of Arrangement.
With the drive to re-capitalize the Company as well as pay-off her debts, the shareholders approved an increase in the Company's authorized share capital to N4.50 billion in 2014 through right issues of ordinary shares. The successful conclusion of the Rights Issue led to the Company raising the sum of Eleven Billion, Three Hundred Million Naira (N11,300,000,000.00) to pay her pending debts. The Company also converted deposits for shares by The Raysun and Akwa Ibom Corporation amounting to N1.1billon to shares capital by private placement of ordinary shares in 2015, and this resulted to further increase in share capital to N3.91 billion.
Champion Breweries Plc has consistently operated with a blend of local content and international best practices and standards. This has resulted in the Company achieving profit in her 2015 results. As at reporting date, the Company has paid off all its borrowings and is better positioned for sustainable growth forthwith.
Champion Breweries Plc still maintains its high quality Champion Lager Beer brand and remains a pride to the consumers. Champ Malta was also re-introduced into the market in 2015 to increase the Company's brand portfolio and overall volumes.

Chairman’s Statement 07
Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
I am pleased to welcome you all on behalf of the Board of thDirectors to this 40 Annual General Meeting and present
to you the annual report for the year ended 31 December
2015 as well as a review of the Company's performance
for the year.
Permit me to inform you that in 2015, Chief Senas J.
Ukpanah, OFR resigned as a Director of the Company.
During the same period, The Board of Directors
unanimously approved my appointment as Director
representing Akwa Ibom State Government in place of
Chief Ukpanah as well as voting for me as the Chairman of
the Board hence the privilege I'm given to present to you
this report.
I shall also review major developments in the
environment under which we operated.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The year 2015 experienced a sharp downturn and
remained challenging for the global and local economy.
Expectations on the outcome of the presidential election
were high and the economy was practically put to a halt at
that stage. President Muhamadu Buhari led government
won the general election and was sworn-in. The peaceful
conclusion of the general election restored high level of
hope to the public and international communities
thereafter.
The economy was badly hit with a shocking downturn
due to insufficient supply of foreign exchange occasioned
among other factors by sharp decline in the global price of
oil. This has negatively impacted on 80% of Country's
source of revenue. With major reliance on importation,
there has been a reduction in the supplies of goods and
many businesses have been struggling to survive.
Direct Foreign Investment inflows into Nigeria in 2015
slumped 53% to $9.643 billion from $20.750 billion 2014
levels as soft oil prices hit. Data from the National Bureau
of Statistics (NBS) provides that Nigeria's real Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) fell to 2.35% in second quarter
of 2015, compared to 6.54% in same period in 2014.
Sectors such as manufacturing and services were
adversely affected after recording successive decline
over the last three quarters.
DISTINGUISHED SHAREHOLDERS,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Nigerian capital market ended the year on a bearish
note with investors losing N1.387 trillion in value. The
bearish trend in the market is largely expectation-
induced by continuous drop in foreign exchange
earnings with consequent devaluation pressure on the
Naira.
Government's effort in curbing insecurity in the North
East has been very commendable, however the
situation has remained a challenge as the Boko Haram
sect stepped up its terrorist activities with random
acts of suicide bombings.
The slowdown in the Nigerian economy still persisted
with a further drop in crude oil prices still impeding
foreign exchange supply in the largely import-
dependent economy thus increasing devaluation
pressure on the naira. The insistence of the monetary
authority on controlled foreign exchange regime
coupled with some foreign exchange restrictions has
increased the gap between the official rate and the
parallel market.
TRADING RESULTS
The trading results of the year under review shows
substantial improvement compared to previous years.
Revenue increased to N3.5billion (2014: N 3.3 billion),
while operating profit was N 207 million (2014:N 26
million) Profit before tax was N210 million (2014:loss
of N1.1 billion) due to high impact of finance cost. The
Company's successful conclusion of debt re-
financing, increase in production and sales volume of
Champion Lager Beer as well as re-introduction of
Champ Malta has resulted in positive turnaround of
the business performances during the year.
RE-CAPITALIZATION
The Private Placement exercise in respect of deposit
for shares by The Raysun Nigeria Limited and Akwa
Ibom State Government respectively have been duly
completed within the year under review.
08
Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
Chairman’s Statement (cont’d)
BOARD MATTERS
The Board has continued to ensure compliance with
the provisions of good corporate governance and
related statutory provisions. Efficient performance of
the Board Committees remains commendable.
As mentioned earlier, Chief Senas J. Ukpanah resigned
within the year. This was as a result of completion of his
service to the Akwa Ibom State Government as
Chairman of Akwa Ibom Investment Corporation
'AKICORP'. Chief Ukpanah led the Board in formulating
and execution of Champion turnaround strategy that
has ushered this Company into profitability today. Mr.
Didier Leleu also retired as a Director within the year
under review.
On your behalf, the Board thanked both Chief Ukpanah
and Mr. Leleu for their contribution and support to the
Company and wished them well in their future
endeavors.
During this same period, Mr. Samson Aigbedo and my
humble self were appointed to the Board of Directors
on 3 December 2015 and 22 October 2015 respectively.
Also appointed was Mrs. Helen Umanah to represent
the interest of minority shareholders on the Board.
The Directors retiring by rotation in accordance with
the Company's Articles of Association and Section 259
of the Companies and Allied Matters Act Cap C 20
Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 are Messrs
Samuel Onukwue, Thompson Owoka and Hendrik van
Rooijen who being eligible, have offer themselves for
re-election.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Year 2016 has started on a challenging note for the
Nigerian economy with global commodity price slump
and global liquidity volatility which has dwindled both
exports income and capital inflows as well as local
currency devaluation.
We also foresee stronger competition with ongoing
global mergers between brewing giants in the world.
This will lead to more innovations and inflow of new brands
in the market.
However, Nigeria's outlook in 2016 is brightened by the
large and varied opportunities in different sectors of the
economy. We shall explore the available possibilities the
Nigerian business environment is offering to increase our
market share within our business region. Considering our
present financial position from deficit to surplus, our
Company has the right mindset and structures to achieve
payment of dividend to you our esteemed shareholders in
no distant future.
We remain resolute in continuously achieving cost
optimization and innovation for increased profit.
CONCLUSION
Distinguished shareholders, your confidence, trust and
support of the Board, Management and employees of the
Company cannot be over emphasized. You have remained
with the Company through “thick and thin” to reach where
we are today.
The Board expresses her appreciation to management of
the company The Raysun Nigeria Limited, in the use of
improved technology, marketing standards and best
practices. Our host Government, Akwa Ibom State, for
providing enabling environment and support for our
freedom of operation to our business. We would not fail to
thank you our esteemed shareholders and other
stakeholders for your efforts, support and guidance in re-
development of our Company.
Thank you and God Bless.

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
1� Reporting entity� Champion Breweries Plc ('the Company') is
domiciled in Nigeria. The Company was incorporated in Nigeria as a limited liability company on 31 July 1974 and later converted to a public limited liability Company on 1 September 1992. The address of the Company's registered office is Industrial Layout, Aka Uffot, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
The Company is involved in the brewing and marketing of Champion Lager Beer and Champ Malta. The Company also provides contract brewing and packaging services to Nigerian Breweries Plc, a related party within the Heineken group.
� � �2� Basis of accounting� The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 11 February 2015. �
� (a) Functional and presentation currency�
� These financial statements are presented in Naira (N), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in Naira has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.
�� (b) Use of estimates and
judgments�� In preparation of these financial statements,
management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policy and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual result may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing bases. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
� JudgmentThere were no significant judgment made by management in applying accounting policies that could have had a material effect on the amount and disclosures in financial statement.
� Assumptions and estimation uncertainties.Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending 31 December 2015 is included in the following note:
Note 21- Measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions.�
� � �� (c) Measurement of fair values � A number of the Company's accounting policies
and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit Committee.
�� When measuring the fair value of an asset or a
liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
� - Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
� - Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
�� - Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are
not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
� �� If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an
asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
�� The Company recognises transfers between
levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the charge has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair value is included in Note 26 - Financial instruments- financial risk management and fair values.

3. Significant accounting policies�The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.
(a) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to naira at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the naira at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are 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 transaction.
�(b) Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative financial assets
The Company's non-derivative financial assets include trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Company initially recognises trade and other receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
�The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Trade and other receivablesTrade and other receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash
balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilitiesAll financial liabilities are recognised initially on trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
The Company's non-derivative financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables and deposit for shares. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Share capital and share premiumOrdinary shares are classified as equity. When new shares are issued, they are recorded in share capital at their par value. The excess of the issue price over the par value is recorded in the share premium reserve. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company's residual assets. Holders of these shares are entitled to dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at general meetings of the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Property, plant and equipment(I) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. If significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plan and equipment.
28
Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent expenditureSubsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
(iii) DepreciationDepreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land and capital work in progress are not depreciated.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
The estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as shown below:
Leasehold land� Lease period
Buildings� � 15 to 40 years
Plant & machinery� 5 to 30 years
Furniture and fittings:� 3 to 5 years
Motor vehicles:� �
- Cars and trucks� 5 years
- Forklifts� � 5 years
Returnable packaging materials�:�
- Bottles� � 5 years
- Crates� � 8 years
(e) Intangible assets Intangible assets represents computer software with useful live of 3 years and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using straight line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
(f) InventoriesInventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the following: - Raw material, spare parts and non returnable packaging materials- weighted average cost.- Manufactured finished products and products-in-process - weighted average cost of direct materials, labour costs and a proportion of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Allowance is made for obsolete, slow-moving or defective items where appropriate.
(g) Impairment(i) Non-derivative financial assetsA financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of debtors or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Financial assets measured at amortised costThe Company considers evidence of impairment for financial assets measured at amortised cost (trade and other receivables) at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant assets are assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics.
In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
29
Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against trade and other receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognised causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(ii) � Non-financial assets� � �� The carrying amounts of the Company's non-
financial assets, other than inventories 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. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount.
� Impairment losses are recognised in profit or
loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
(h) � Employee benefits� � �� (i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company 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.
(ii) Defined contribution plansIn line with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act 2014, the Company has instituted a defined contribution pension scheme for its permanent staff. Staff contributions to the scheme are funded through payroll deductions while the
Company's contribution is recognised in profit or loss as employee benefit expense in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Under this scheme, employees contribute 8% of their basic salary, transport and housing allowances to a fund on a monthly basis. The Company's contribution is 10% of each employee's basic salary, transport and housing allowances to the fund.
� � � � � �� Obligations for contributions to defined
contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.
� � � � � �� (iii) Defined benefit plans
The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually using the projected unit credit method by Alaxender Forbes Consulting Actuaries Nigeria Limited (FRC/2012/0000000000504). When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or
when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or
30
Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iv) Other long-term employee benefitsThe Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.(v) Termination Benefit
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
(i) Provisions and contingent liabilitiesProvisionsProvisions 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 the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are only disclosed and not recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position. If the likelihood of an outflow of resources is remote, the possible obligations is neither a provision nor a contingent liability and no disclosure is made.
(j) RevenueRevenue from the sale of goods and rendering of services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added tax, returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.
(k) Finance income and finance costsFinance income comprises interest income on bank deposits.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, bank overdrafts and impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables). Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.
(l) Income taxIncome tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current taxCurrent tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and liabilities are offsets only if certain criteria are met.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unutilised tax losses, unutilised tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans. 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; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised.
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Company has not rebutted this presumption.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences:
i. 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,
ii. differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future, and
iii. temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.
(iii) Minimum tax Minimum tax payable is calculated using the tax
rate applicable based on certain parameters stipulated in the Nigerian tax law. Any amount by which this minimum amount payable exceeds company income tax is shown as minimum tax expenses and presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income.
(m) Earnings per shareThe Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Segment reportingAn operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's Managing Director to make decision about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the Company's Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, office expenses as well as income and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
(o) LeasesDetermining whether an arrangement contains a leaseAt inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.
At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Company separates payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Company concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset; subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
(i) Leased assetsAssets held by the Company under leases which transfer to the Company substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Company's statement of financial position.
(ii) Lease paymentsPayments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
(p) Statement of cash flowsThe statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method. Changes in statement of financial position items that have not resulted in cash flows such as translation differences, fair value changes and other non-cash items have been eliminated for the purpose of preparing the statement. Interest paid is included in financing activities.
4. New standards and interpretations not yet adoptedA number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015; however, the Company has not applied the following new or amended applicable standards in preparing these financial statements:
IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative- (effective for periods beginning 1 January 2016 and early adoption is permitted). The amendments provide additional guidance on the application of materiality and aggregation when preparing financial statements.
IFRS 9- Financial Instruments (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.). IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and depreciation of
financial instruments from IAS 39.IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers- (effective for periods beginning 1 January 2017 and early adoption is permitted). IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes.The extent of the impact of these standards has not been determined and the Company does not plan to adopt these standards early.

�24� Financial instruments- financial risk management and fair values� �� Financial risk management� � � � �
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- credit risk
- liquidity risk
- market risk
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital.
Risk management framework
The Risk Management Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies which are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limit and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits.
Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
The Company's Risk Management Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.
Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and related parties.
The Company's financial assets comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalent as indicated on the statement of financial position. The carrying amount of these financial assets represents maximum credit exposure of the Company.
Trade and other receivables Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
The Company considers that it is not exposed to significant concentration risk in relation to trade receivables
because over 90% of the Company's customers are concentrated in the South-South geographical region of Nigeria. However, credit risk can arise in the event of non-performance of a counterparty. Credit limits are established for each customer and reviewed on quarterly basis. Customers that fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a cash-and-carry basis.
45
Champion Breweries Plc Annual Report 2015
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)
The Company further considers that the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited on the bases that the Company grants a credit period of 2 to 3 weeks to selected customers, which mitigates the risk of default by customers.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in
respect of trade and other receivables, which is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures.
� � � � � � � � � � �����2015� ���������������2014� � � � � � � ����������������� � �������������N'000��������������� � ���N'000 Gross trade receivables 192,544205,912 Impairment (146,116) (118,549) 46,428 87,363 Amounts due from related parties 334,019412,003 Other receivable 197,005 177,735

Impairment losses
As at the reporting date, the aging of trade receivables based on the most recent transaction date was:
Gross Impairment Gross Impairment 2015 2015 2014 2014 N'000 N'000 N'000 N'000 0-30 days 87,363 - 46,428 -

follows: 2014 2015 N'000 N'000
Balance at 1 January (148,998) (146,116) Impairment loss reversal 2,882 27,567
Balance at 31 December (146,116) (118,549)
The impairment loss as at reporting date relates to trade receivables which in the Company's assessment will not be recoverable from the customers mainly due to their economic circumstances. With respect to other receivables and amounts due from related parties, the Company believes that these unimpaired receivables are collectible based on historical payment behaviour and analyses of the underlying counter party's credit ratings.
Based on historical default rates, the Company believes that, apart from the above, no additional
impairment allowance is required in respect of trade and other receivables. The impairment loss is included in administrative expenses.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company has an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for addressing its short, medium and long term liquidity requirements and makes monthly cash flow projections which assists in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising cash return on investments.

income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return. The Company manages market risk by keeping cost low through various cost optimisation programmes and also by regular monitoring of market developments.
(d) � Capital management
The Company considers equity contribution from shareholders as its capital.
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern in order to provide returns for the shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure.
� In order to maintain an appropriate capital structure, during the year, the Company increased its ordinary share capital
to N3,915 million (2014: N3,600 million) by converting deposit for shares into ordinary share capital through private
placement. In addition, the Company ensures appropriate capital management by monitoring returns on capital and
net debt to equity ratio.
