CORPORATE PROFILE
COMPANY HISTORY
H
oneywell Flour Mills Plc is a leading and highly successful indigenous Company in Nigeria with
a mission to use enterprise to make our world better. To achieve this, the Company has
positioned itself to lead its market in the production, distribution, sales and marketing of superior
quality products.
The Company started as Gateway Honeywell Flour Mills Limited on June 21, 1983 and was incorporated for
the production of flour and livestock feeds from wheat, sorghum, maize and millet. A change in the
Company's ownership structure led to a change in name to Honeywell Flour Mills Limited in June 1995.
Following a successful IPO and subsequent listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 2009, the Company
became a publicly quoted Company as Honeywell Flour Mills Plc.
In April 1993, the Company entered into a contract-milling arrangement with a Flour Mill in Ibadan to
produce wheat flour under the brand name of Honeywell Superfine Flour. The brand immediately gained
wide acceptability in the flour market. The construction and installation of a 200-metric tonne wheat Mill
commenced in 1995 at the Tin Can Island site, Apapa, Lagos.
Following the successful completion of the 200-metric tonne per day Mill, commercial production and sale
of Honeywell Superfine Flour commenced on July 13, 1998. The growing demand for the product made it
expedient for the Company to plan for the expansion of its production capacity. Thus, in 1999, the Company
embarked on a re-modeling of its wheat Mill to a 360-tonne per day Mill. This project was satisfactorily
completed in May 2000. The installation and commissioning in November 2001 of a 250-metric tonne per
day Mill increased the Company's installed capacity to 610 metric tonnes per day
To remain a relevant and significant player in the flour milling industry, the Company took a giant leap with
the installation of two 500-metric tonne per day Mills that were brought into production in July 2005. This
additional capacity brought the total installed capacity of the Company to 1,610 metric tonnes per day. The
Company also launched its brand of Semolina, Honeywell Semolina in June 2006, which has been a huge
success since its introduction into the market, and is today adjudged by consumers as the leading Semolina
brand.
To further maximize its value chain, the Company launched its own brand of noodles in 2006 (initially as O!
Noodles and later re-launched with better quality seasoning and packaging as Honeywell Noodles).
Honeywell Pasta (Spaghetti and Macaroni) and Honeywell Wheat Meal were all launched in 2009. All the
brands have been well accepted by consumers and have grown rapidly.
The addition of another state-of-the-art twin Mills of 500-metric tonnes per day each in 2012 took the
capacity to 2,610 metric-tonnes per day. This latest expansion project is about 1,200% overall increase in

capacity since the commencement of business. Future capacity expansion has been planned for the
Company's new Sagamu project (which is on a 63 hectare land space at the Sagamu interchange along the
Lagos-Ibadan expressway).
The Company's goal is to support women (who are its major targets) to provide nourishing meals for their
families with its consumer goods and bakers with its industrial product (flour). The Company continues to
invest in new product research and development to enable her produce more varieties of food products for its
teeming consumers. Future expansion projects will focus on pasta, noodles and animal feed production. New
products will be introduced to meet consumer demands as we make efforts to realise our corporate goals and
objectives.

QUALITY POLICY
The Company is committed to the continuous achievement of business successes by maintaining its quality
leadership in Nigerias flour milling industry. This is driven by a quality management system designed to
ensure that customers are always provided with quality products and services, that meet internal standards
set for the purpose. Such standards are in full compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements, and
are set out in writing for adherence by all staff at all times.
Honeywell Flour Mills Plc was the first flour milling company in Nigeria to be ISO-certified. All processes
and procedures across the organisation are in line with international best practices to ensure that it
continuously produces good quality products for the complete satisfaction of its highly esteemed customers.
The Company employs state-of-the-art facilities for the production of its various brands in conjunction with
its technical partners Buhler AG of Switzerland (the worlds leading milling equipment manufacturer) for
the installation and maintenance of its mills as well as a partnership agreement with Muhlenchemie of
Germany for the supply of additives.

highly esteemed customers/consumers.

CORPORATE PROFILE INTRODUCTION
consistent superior quality improvement. The company provides efficient customer service, excellent
training and support for bakers across Nigeria.
Honeywell Semolina: This is a wheat-based ball food that is easy to prepare, smooth to eat and enjoyed with
any kind of soup. The brand has set new quality standards for semolina, which it has maintained since its
introduction and this is evident in its continued increased demand and preference by consumers. The brand
packaging is distinct and stands out on the shelf.
Honeywell Wheat Meal: This was launched into the market in 2009. At that time, this category was largely
underdeveloped and unpopular. The company has continued to invest in heavy marketing and sales support
to develop and grow this category and to make it acceptable to all consumer segments. The brand goes well
with any soup, is easy to prepare, hygienically packed and a healthier way to enjoy ball food. It is good for
everyone irrespective of social status. The brand packaging is distinct and stands out on the shelf.
Honeywell Pasta: made from the finest quality wheat semolina. The brand is well accepted by consumers
for its excellent quality and it comes in very attractive packaging which stands it out on the shelf.
Honeywell Noodles: This is made from fine quality flour and comes in three different variants; Chicken,
Spicy Chicken and Onion Chicken. Honeywell Noodles are a consumer delight. The brand packaging is
distinct and stands out on the shelf.
In line with NAFDAC and SON requirements, all our brands are fortified with vitamin A and other essential
minerals that are good for the body.
All our brands are rated among the top three in their different categories with respect to market share, top-of-
mind awareness and consumer usage.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Honeywell Flour Mills Plc is a socially responsible Company. It engages in projects that aim at alleviating
poverty, aiding learning and helping the less privileged. The Company is also the only Flour Milling
Company in Nigeria that provides formal training for bakers. Most bakers in Nigeria have not had any formal
training in baking as the skill is acquired more through the apprenticeship model. However, the Company has
since set up a training school for bakers in furtherance of its belief that baking is both a science and an art that
cannot be fully mastered through apprenticeship alone but through some formal training.

financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate
accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant
to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Honeywell Flour Mills Plc. as at 31

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2016
1 REPORTING ENTITY
Honeywell Flour Mills Plc was initially registered as Gateway Honeywell Flour Mills Limited on
June 21, 1983. A change in the Company's ownership structure led to a change of name to
Honeywell Flour Mills Limited in June, 1995. The Company was converted to a Public Liability
Company in 2008. Its shares were listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) in 2009. As part of
its vertical integration strategy, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Honeywell Superfine
Foods Limited, manufacturers of pasta and noodles in 2008.
Honeywell Flour Mills Plc is a Company domiciled in Nigeria. The Company is principally engaged in
the manufacture and marketing of wheat-based products including flour, semolina, whole wheat
meal, noodles and pasta.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) being Standards and Interpretations issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in force as at 31 December, 2013. They have been prepared
in line with IFRS accounting policies selected by the Company on transition to IFRS.
(b) Basis of Measurement

The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for items
measured at fair value and the use of actuarial methods for estimating certain employee benefits.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in the Nigerian Naira, which is the Company's
functional currency. All financial information presented in Naira has been rounded to the nearest
thousand.
(d) Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any
future years affected.

51
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant
effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
- measurement of defined benefit obligations; and
- provisions and contingencies.
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
financial statements and in preparing the opening IFRS statements of financial position at 1 April 2011
for the purposes of the transition to IFRS, unless otherwise indicated.
(a) Going Concern

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to adopt the
going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
(b) Business Combination

Business combinations involving entities under common control are outside the scope of IFRS 3.
Management exercises its judgement to apply the pooling of interest method of accounting for
business combination in accordance with IAS 8, 10 - 12. The IAS 8 & 12 allows management to
consider the most relevant conceptual framework in developing an accounting policy where
IFRS has no specific requirements.
Under a pooling of interests-type method, the acquirer accounts for the combination as follows:
The assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at book value not fair value
(although adjustments should be recorded to achieve uniform accounting policies);
No goodwill is recorded. The difference between the acquirer's cost of investment
and the acquiree's equity is presented separately within Other Comprehensive Income
Statement;
Comparative amounts are restated as if the combination had taken place at the beginning
of the earliest comparative period presented.
(c) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as
the Board of Directors.

52
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
The Companys business operating segments are identified by two factories located at Ikeja and
Apapa. The Apapa factory manufactures flour, semolina, wheat meal and brown flour while the Ikeja
factory manufactures pasta and noodles.
(d) Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Naira using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions or valuations where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as
qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash equivalents are presented in
the income statement within 'finance income or cost'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses
are presented in the income statement within 'other gains / (losses) - net'.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment

Land and building held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for
administration purposes, are stated in the statement of financial position at deemed cost at the date
of transition to IFRS less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All other assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost or
valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include
transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flows hedges of foreign currency
purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as
part of the equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced
cost is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement
during the financial period in which they are incurred.

53
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
An item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future

economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains or losses on disposal or de-recognition of an
item of Property, Plant and Equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal
with the carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment, and are recognized in income
statement.
Depreciation is provided on components that have homogenous useful lives by using the straight
line method so as to depreciate the initial cost down to the residual value over the estimated useful
lives.
The useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 20 to 50 years
Tools, Furniture/Fittings and Equipment 2 to 5 years
Vehicles 4 years
Land Not depreciated
Assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at the end of each
reporting date.
Where an indication of impairment exists, an assets carrying amount is written down

immediately to its recoverable amount, if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and
is recognized in the income statement for the period.
(f) Intangible Assets
(i) Computer Software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to
acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated
useful lives. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are
recognized as expenses incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the
design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Company
are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

54
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
It is technically feasible to complete the software product and use or sell it;
Management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
There is an ability to use or sell the software product;
It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future
economic benefits;
Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and use or
sell the software product are available; and
The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can
be reliably measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software product include the software
development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other
development expenditure that do not meet these criteria are recognized as expenses incurred.
Development costs previously recognized as expenses are not recognized as assets in subsequent
periods.
Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated
useful lives.
(ii) Amortisation of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis in the income statement over their
estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of
computer software for the current and comparative years is five (5) years. Amortization methods,
useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted for, if
appropriate.
(g) Financial Assets
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit
or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for
which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its
financial assets at initial recognition.
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading.

55
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the
short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months;
otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
- Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities
greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current
assets. The Company's loans and receivables comprise of trade and other receivables and cash
and cash equivalents in the financial statement.
- Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category
or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the
investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the
reporting period.
(ii) Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which
the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair
value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value,
and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized
when the right to receive cash flows from the investments has expired or has been transferred and
the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale
financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are substantially carried at
fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss category are presented in the income statement within other (losses) / gains - not in
the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of other income when the Company's right to
receive payments is established.

56
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for
sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available for
sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are
included in the income statement as 'gains and losses from investment securities'.
Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is

recognized in the income statement as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale
equity instruments are recognized in the income statement as part of other income when the
Company's right to receive payments is established.
(iii) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of
financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
(iv) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective e v i d e n c e
that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective
evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the
estimated future cash flow of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably
estimated. The criteria the company uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an
impairment loss include:
signicant nancial difculty of the issuer or obligor;
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
the Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's nancial difculty,
granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other nancial reorganization;
the disappearance of an active market for that nancial asset because of nancial difculties;
or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash
ows from a portfolio of nancial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although
the decrease cannot yet be identied with the individual nancial assets in the portfolio.

57
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio; and national or local
economic conditions that correlates on the assets in the portfolio.
The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists. For loans and
receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flow (excluding future credit
losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest
rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the
income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the
discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined
under the contract.
As is practical and expedient, the company may measure impairment on the basis of an
instrument's fair value using an observable market price. If in a subsequent period, the amount of
the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring
after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the
reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.
(v) Impairment of non - financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life - for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready for
use - are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject
to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell
and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are tested at the lowest levels
for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial
assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the
impairment at each reporting date.

58
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
(h) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Costs comprise direct
materials costs and where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated
using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price
less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and
distribution.
Spare parts and servicing equipment are usually carried as inventory and recognized in profit or
loss as consumed. However, major spare parts and stand-by equipment qualify as property, plant
and equipment when the Company expects to use them during more than one period. Similarly, if
the spare parts and servicing equipment can be used only in connection with an item of property,
plant and equipment, they are accounted for as property, plant and equipment. Such classified
spares are depreciated as property, plant and equipment over the useful life on a straight line basis.
(i) Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. The collectability of
trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. A provision for impairment of trade receivables
is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all
amounts due, according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the
difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.
(j) Research and Development

Research and development expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which it is
incurred, unless it meets the criteria for capitalisation set out in IAS 38 'Intangible assets'.
(k) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Bank Overdrafts

Cash, cash equivalents and bank overdrafts include cash at bank and in hand plus short-term
deposits less overdrafts. Short-term deposits have a maturity of less than three months from the
date of acquisition. Bank overdrafts are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the
Company's cash management.

59
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
(l) Borrowings
Interest- bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded as the proceeds received, net of direct
issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct
issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis through the income statement using the
effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent they
are not settled in the period in which they arise.
(m) Trade Payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if
payments are due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade
payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
(n) Investments
Investments are classified as either held-to-maturity, held-for-trading, loans and receivables or
available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are measured at
amortized cost. Held-for-trading and available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value.
Where securities are held-for-trading purposes, gains and losses arising from changes in fair
value are included in the income statement for the period. For available-for-sale investments,
gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the
security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognised in equity is included in the income statements for the period.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of a past event, and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation
and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised
when the Company has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring that has been communicated to
affected parties. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be acquired to settle
the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is
recognised as interest expense.

Annual Report
(p) Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current
tax and deferred tax are recognised in income statement except to the extent that it relates to a
business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current Tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the
year, using tax rates statutorily enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax
payable in respect of previous years. The Company is subject to the following types of
current income tax:
Companies Income Tax - This relates to tax on revenue and profit generated by the
Company during the year, to be taxed under the Companies Income Tax Act Cap C21, LFN
2004 as amended to date.
Tertiary Education Tax - Tertiary Education tax is based on assessable income of the
Company and is governed by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (Establishment) Act LFN
2011.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in
which the Company expects at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying
amounts of its assets and liabilities. For investment property that is measured at fair value, the
presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale has
not been rebutted.
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.
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 realized simultaneously.

61
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, 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 utilised. 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 benefits will be realised.
(iii) Tax Exposures

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the
impact of uncertain tax postions 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 expenses in the period that such determination is made.
(q) Employee benefits
(i) Defined benefit plan

The defined benefit plan defines an amount of gratuity the employee will receive on
retirement, dependent on date of employment, year of service and compensation. The
defined benefit plan is being accounted for using the projected unit method that considers the
rate of inflation, the degree of salary increases of employees, the retirement age among other
factors.
The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plan is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair
value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised past service costs. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the
projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflow using market rates on
Government Bonds.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experienced adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period
in which they arise. Past service costs are recognised immediately in income statement.

62
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
(ii) Defined contribution scheme

The Company operates a defined contribution plan which is funded by contributions from
the Company and the employees. The Company's contribution is recognised as employee
benefit expenses and charged to the income statement. The contributions of both the
Company and the employees are paid on a monthly basis to a pension fund administrator.
The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the
pension fund administrator does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits
relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are
recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due.
(iii) Short-term employee benefit

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 plan if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this
amount as a result of past services provided by the employee, and the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
(r) Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods
and services in the ordinary course of the Company's activities. Revenue is shown net of Value-
Added Tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is
probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met
for each of the Company's activities as described below:
(i) Sale of Goods

The Company manufactures and sells a range of products to the distributors and dealers.
Sale of goods are recognised when the Company has delivered products to the customers
and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customers' acceptance of the
products. Delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped to the specified
locations; the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customers and
either the customers have accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the
Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

63
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
The products are often sold with discounts and rebates. Sales are recorded based on the price
specified on the sales invoice net of the discounts, rebates and returns at the time of sale.
Sales are also recognised when the customer self-collects the product directly at the C o m p a n y s
premises during which the risks and rewards of ownership passes to the customer at the point of
loading after the customer's delivery truck leaves the Companys premises. No element of
financing is deemed present where sales are made on agreed credit terms which are consistent
with the market practice.
(ii) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method. When a loan and
receivable is impaired, the Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount,
being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the
investment, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on
impaired loans and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
(s) Dividend Distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's Shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company's
financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's
Shareholders. Dividends are recognised once paid.
(t) Earnings per Share

The Company presents earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. EPS is calculated by
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the number of
ordinary shares held at the year end.
(u) Share Capital

The Company has only one class of Shares - ordinary shares which 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.
Incremental costs directly attributed to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction
from equity, net of any tax effects.

4 RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is inherent in the business operations of the Company. Management has set up
processes and systems to identify, assess, monitor and control business risks including the following :-
(a) Credit Risk

This refers to the risk that a trade debtor will default by failing to make payments in accordance
with the agreed credit terms and conditions. The possible impact of the credit risk is poor Account
Receivable assets quality arising from high level of bad and doubtful debts and possible
impairment of shareholders' funds. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the
maximum credit exposure.
Mitigating Measures
Credit application follows rigorous and extensive credit review and approval processes.
All credits are secured by insurance or bank bonds.
Once conditions precedent to credit utilization are met by the customer, the approved
credit is updated, monitored and controlled by the ERP on real times basis in accordance
with credit terms.
Credit utilization reports are prepared and monitored on a daily basis.
(b) Liquidity Risk

This refers to the risk of the company's inability to finance its operations and meet its obligations
when they become due without incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk includes the inability
to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources.
Mitigating Measures
Efcient and effective working capital management.
Efcient Naira facility management.
Efcient funds management to eliminate idle funds, meet obligations as they fall due and
reduce interest expense to the minimum level.
Liquidity and working capital management reports are prepared and monitored on a daily
basis.
The Treasury Department is well structured and equipped under the management of a very
experienced and well trained team.

65
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
(c) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of nancial loss due to the change in value of the market risk factors. The
Company is faced with the following market risk factors.
Interest rate risk: - The risk that interest rate will change adversely at the money market.
Foreign exchange risk: - The risk that foreign exchange rates will uctuate unfavorably
at foreign exchange market.
Commodity risk: - The risk that wheat prices will signicantly increase at the
international commodity markets.
Mitigating Measures
Efcient management of exchange and interest rate risks including generation of
relevant risk management reports for monitoring and review on a daily and weekly basis.
Monitor the money, capital and foreign exchange markets including micro and macro
economic environment on a daily basis.
Efcient management of the commodity risk by the Logistics and Supplies Department
with a full-edged experienced and well trained team in the area of wheat dynamics and
procurement strategies.
Monitoring of price dynamics and changes at the relevant Commodity Exchange Boards
on a real time basis and take proactive decisions on a timely basis.
The commodity risk affects the global milling industry as the wheat prices are
determined at the international commodity markets. We usually increase product price
in response to global volatility in wheat prices in order to recover some portion of the rise
in wheat prices.
(d) Operational Risk

This relates to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, controls,
procedures, people, and systems. Operational risk is inherent in the business activities. These
include risk of inadequate haulage partners required to achieve the Company's objectives in
terms of sales volume and profit; risk of wastages, downtime and other associated losses arising
from inefficient plant operations; risk of breakdown of ERP and IT infrastructure or outright loss
of critical operational/business data and information; risk of loss of Company assets due to
unexpected disasters which may affect business operations; risk of breakdown of internal
control systems and misstatement of financial statements.

performed on the customers.
d. The amount of the provision for impairment was N395 million as at 31, March 2016 (2015:N409 million). The individually
impaired receivables mainly relate to wholesalers, which are in unexpectedly difficult economic situations. It was assessed that a
portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered. Plans are in place to ensure substantial recovery of the receivables.
Impairment losses are presented in the income statement with selling and marketing expenses.

12 RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

The Company has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity.
The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient
assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
The Company pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory,
contractual or voluntary basis.
The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are
recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Defined benefit plan

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on
retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors, such as age, years of service and compensation. The Company
operates unfunded defined benefit plans for qualifying employees of the company.
The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of planned assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized
actuarial gains or losses and past service costs.
The most recent actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at 31
March, 2016 by KDA Associates. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service
cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The amount recognized in the statement of financial position is determined as follows:
2016 2015
Present value of retirement benefit obligation 962,209 805,924
Interest cost 140,464 109,466
Current service cost 82,210 72,241

22 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, GUARANTEES AND OTHER FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS

i Charges
The Company has loan facilities with First Bank of Nigeria Plc secured by All Assets Debenture.
ii Financial Commitments

account in the preparation of the financial statements under review. These liabilities are relevant in
assessing the Company's state of affairs as at March 31, 2016.
iii Legal Charges

There is litigation against the Company as at 31 March, 2016 the outcome of which has not been
determined.
However, the directors, having sought legal advice of professional counsel are of the opinion that no
material liabilities will arise in the ordinary course of business. No provision was made in these
financial statements in that respect.
23 LOANS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS FAVOURING DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

a) During the year, the Company guaranteed no loan in favour of its Directors and Officers.

27 APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on Tuesday, 21,
June, 2016.
28 SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In preparing its financial statements, the Company has made significant judgements, estimates and
assumptions that impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, income and expenses as
well as other information reported in the notes. The Company periodically monitors such estimates and
assumptions and makes sure that they incorporate all relevant information available at the date when
financial statements are prepared. However, this does not prevent actual figures differing from the
estimates.
The judgements made in the process of applying the Companys accounting policies that have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, and the estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
Revenue recognition
The Company makes provisions for trade discounts, volume rebates and charge back for product
returns allowed by the sale contracts when recognising the revenue derived from sales of its products.
Such deductions represent estimates, which are subject to judgements and assumptions based on past
experience as well as the Companys knowledge available at the time the estimate is made.
Allowance for doubtful receivables

The determination of the recoverability of the amount due from customers involves the identification of
whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. In cases where that process is not feasible, a
collective evaluation of impairment is performed. As a consequence, the way individual and collective
evaluations are carried out and the timing relating to the identification of objective evidence of
impairment require significant judgement and may materially affect the carrying amount of receivables
at the reporting date.

83
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
Asset impairment tests

A financial asset or a group of financial assets, other than those categorised at fair value through profit
or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment exists
only when the Company ascertains that a loss event affecting the estimated future cash flows of the
financial asset has occurred. It may not be possible to identify a single, discrete event that caused the
impairment and moreover to determine when a loss event has occurred might involve the exercise of
significant judgement.
The amount of impairment loss recognised for financial assets carried at amortised cost is the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at
the effective interest rate.
Net realisable value of inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is written
down to their estimated realisable value when their cost may no longer be recoverable, such as when
inventories are damaged or become wholly or partly obsolete or their selling prices have declined. In
any case, the realisable value represents the best estimate of the recoverable amount, based on the most
reliable evidence available at the reporting date and inherently involves estimates regarding the future
expected realisable value. The benchmarks for determining the amount of write-downs to net realisable
value include ageing analysis, technical assessment and subsequent events. In general, such an
evaluation process requires significant judgement and may materially affect the carrying amount of
inventories at the reporting date.
Deferred tax estimation

Recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities involves making a series of assumptions. As far as
deferred tax assets are concerned, their realisation ultimately depends on taxable profits being available
in the future. Deferred tax assets are recognised only when it is probable that taxable profits will be
available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised and it is probable that the entity will earn
sufficient taxable profit in future periods to benefit from a reduction in tax payments. This involves the
Company making assumptions within its overall tax-planning activities and periodically reassessing
them in order to reflect changed circumstances as well as tax regulations. Moreover, the measurement
of a deferred tax asset or liability reflects the manner in which the entity expects to recover the assets
carrying value or settle the liability.

84
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
Actuarial assumptions on defined benefit retirement plans

Accounting for defined benefit plans may be complex because actuarial assumptions are required to
measure the obligation and the expense, with the posibility that actual results differ from the assumed
results. These differences are known as actuarial gains and losses. Defined benefit obligations are
measured using the Projected Unit Method, according to which the Company has to make a reliable
estimate of the amount of benefits earned in return for services rendered in current and prior periods,
using actuarial techniques.
29 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning 1 April,
2015 and have not been earlier adopted by Honeywell Flour Mills Plc. (the list does not include
information about new pronouncements that affect interim financial reporting or first-time adopters
of IFRS since they are not relevant to the Company).
IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts

IFRS 14: Regulatory deferral Accounts permits an entity which is a first-time adopter of International
Financial Reporting Standards to continue to account, with some limited changes for regulatory
deferral account balances in accordance with its previous GAAP, both on initial adoption of IFRS
and subsequent financial statements. Regulatory deferral account balances and movements in them,
are presented separately in the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, and specific disclosures are required.
The objective of IFRS 14 is to specify the financial reporting requirements for regulatory deferral
account balances that arise when an entity provides goods or services to customers at a price or rate
that is subject to rate regulation.
IFRS 14 is designed as a limited scope Standard to provide an interim, short-term solution for rate-
regulated entities that have not yet adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Its
purpose is to allow rate-regulated entities adopting IFRS for the first-time to avoid changes in
accounting policies in respect of regulatory deferral accounts until such time as the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) can complete its comprehensive project on rate regulated
activities.

85
RC 55495
2016
Annual Report
Where an entity elects to apply it, IFRS 14 is effective for an entitys first annual IFRS financial
statements that are for a period beginning on or after 1 January, 2016. The standard can be applied
earlier, but the entity must disclose when it has done so.
IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognise revenue as well as requiring such
entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The
standard provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with
customers.
IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1
January, 2017.
The objective of IFRS 15 is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful
information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. (IFRS 15:1) Application of the
standard is mandatory for annual reporting periods starting from 1 January, 2017 onwards. Earlier
application is permitted.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers applies to all contracts with customers except for:
leases within the scope of IAS 17 Leases; financial instruments and other contractual rights or
obligations within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures; insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4
Insurance Contracts; and non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to
facilitate sales to customers or potential customers.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Method of

Depreciation and Amortization
The requirements of IAS 16 are amended to clarify that a depreciation method that is based on
revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriated. This is
because such methods reflect a pattern of generation of economic benefits that arise from the
operation of the business of which an asset is part, rather than the pattern of consumption of an assets
expected future economic benefits.
The requirements of IAS 38 are amended to introduce a rebuttable presumption that a revenue-based
amortisation method for intangible assets is inappropriate for the same reasons as in IAS 16.
However, the IASB states that there are limited circumstances when the presumption can be
overcome:
The intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue (the predominant limiting factor inherent in
an intangible asset is the achievement of a revenue threshold); and
it can be demonstrated that the revenue and the consumption of economic benefits of the intangible
asset are highly correlated and that the consumption of the intangible asset is directly linked to the
revenue generated from using the asset).
Guidance is introduced into both standards to explain that expected future reduction in selling prices
could be indicative of a higher rate of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in an
asset.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2016. Earlier
application is permitted.
Amendment to IFRS 7 Disclosures- Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The IFRS is part of the IASBs project to replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 addresses classification and
measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in
IAS 39 with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value.
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2016.
