Highlights of 2014 Financial Performance
Transcorp continued on its growth trajectory and achieved
strong revenue increase for the corporate centre (“the
Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Group”)
despite a challenging operating environment.
In 2014, gross earnings for the Group increased by 120% to
N41.3 billion from N18.8 billion in 2013. The Company’s gross
earnings increased 196% from N2.1 billion to N6.3 billion.
This impressive revenue growth reflects the first full year of
earnings from our power business.
Group operating profit grew from N10.2 billion in 2013 to
N13.6 billion in 2014. However, the Company’s operating
profit declined by 11% to N3.5 billion (2013:N3.9 billion) due

issues both legacies of the global financial crisis. In a bid
to stimulate growth, the ECB began a new asset purchase
programme in October 2014. The programme is scheduled
to last for at least two years with the potential to add €1
trillion into the Euro Zone economy.
In key emerging markets a combination of geo-political and
country specific risks contributed to a mixed scorecard. The
downward trend in global oil prices, coupled with inflation
and currency pressures led to a slowdown in the Brazilian
Economy. In Russia, weak oil prices coupled with EU and US
sanctions and Russia’s retaliation to the sanctions weakened
the Rouble and pushed up domestic prices. India’s successful

Company’s PBT increased by 3% in the current year to N3.3
billion (2013:N3.2 billion). Company PAT in 2014 declined by
12% to N2.5 billion (2013: N2.8 billion).
In 2014, the Group’s total assets grew by 14% to N170.8
billion from N149.4 billion in the prior year. Similarly, total
assets of the company increased 11% to N54.2 billion from
N49.1 billion in 2014.
For the first half of 2014, the economy recorded favourable
performance with rebasing of the country’s GDP, oil prices
reaching a peak of US$115 per barrel and equity market
capitalization reaching a historic high of N14 trillion. The
rebasing of the GDP effectively increased the size of the
economy by 89.2% to N80.2 trillion (US$509.9 billion). A
breakdown of the figures reveals that services sector is the
biggest contributor to GDP underscoring the diversification
of the Nigerian economy. While the rebased GDP numbers

The CBN maintained a tight interest rate policy in 2014, as the
benchmark interest rate, the MPR, was kept at 12% for most
part of the year. The MPR closed the year at 13% as result of
the persistent downward pressure on crude oil prices and
the attendant pressures on the Naira. The tight interest rate
regime is expected to continue in 2015 mainly on the back
of weaker oil prices.
Notwithstanding the challenges and uncertainties created
by the oil price shock, Nigeria’s long term outlook remains
positive on the back of significant opportunities for

PRESIDENT/CEO’S REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2014
Economic and Sectoral Overview
The operating environment in 2014 was difficult owing to
unfavourable macroeconomic headwinds and industry specific
challenges. The fall in oil prices took a heavy toll on the Nigerian
economy as the Naira was devalued at the official window. Post
devaluation, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has employed various
control measures to try and curb demand for the dollar. These
measures have provided minimal support to the Naira. The oil price
fall, Naira devaluation and weak earnings by companies all dragged
the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) to close the year with a negative
return of 16.1%.
In the course of the year, the Nigerian economy was adversely
affected by the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak. Though its impact was
muted relative to the three worst affected countries-Sierra Leone,
Guinea & Liberia-it still caused noticeable decline in travel, tourism
and trade. According to World Bank, the effect of the outbreak on
Nigeria’s GDP for 2014 is estimated at $186 million.
Despite the significant achievements recorded in the power sector
Emmanuel N. Nnorom
Distinguished Shareholders
It is my utmost pleasure to welcome you to the 9th
Annual General Meeting of your Company, Transnational
Corporation of Nigeria Plc (“Transcorp”). I am pleased to
present your Company’s financial and operating results for
the year ended 31 December 2014.
Introduction
You may recall that in 2011, my predecessor, Mr. Obinna
Ufudo set out a comprehensive agenda to restructure
Transcorp for accelerated growth and profitability. I am
happy to report to you that within 3 years; the company has
been transformed from an ailing enterprise into an emerging
investment powerhouse achieving significant financial
returns for all stakeholders.
so far, the delay in the take-off of the Transitional Electricity Market
(TEM) affected revenue accruable to market participants. When it
commences, the TEM will ensure that all contractual obligations,
rules and processes among market participants are strictly enforced.
This will lead to efficient and sustainable investment in the industry.
Operating Results & Financial Performance Review
Revenue
Gross earnings for the Group in 2014 increased significantly by 120%
to N41.3 billion from N18.8 billion in 2013. This impressive growth
comes largely from the impact of a full year of operations of our
power business, Ughelli Power Plc which accounts for 65% of total
gross earnings in 2014. The revenue growth was achieved following
substantial increase in available capacity at our power plant to
610MW in December 2014 (November 2013:130MW). The Company’s
gross earnings also increased by 196% from N2.1 billion to N6.3 billion
largely due to dividend income realised from the power business.
I am humbled at the opportunity to lead Transcorp through
the next phase of its growth. I appreciate the support of
the Board, staff and shareholders and am emboldened by
the trust reposed in me. I am confident of the medium to
long term fundamentals of our businesses and elated at the
pillars of growth laid so far to take advantage of the various
unique opportunities ahead of us. My immediate focus is to
continue the turnaround story of Transcorp with the drive
of developing new businesses to achieve an end-game of
realising a $1billion Group Profit before tax by Full Year 2018.
I am pleased to say that we have made giant strides in 2015
for all our businesses setting the necessary foundation to
surpass this target.

Profit
Assets
The Group’s gross profit increased by 92% to N27.6 billion
in 2014 (2013:N14.3 billion) following strong revenue
growth and operational efficiency garnered from our power
business.
In 2014, the Group’s total assets grew by 14% to N170.8 billion
from N149.4 billion in the prior year. Similarly, total assets of
the Company increased by 11% to N54.2 billion from N49.1
billion in 2014.
Group operating profit grew from N10.2 billion in 2013 to
N13.6 billion in 2014. However, the Company’s operating
profit declined slightly by 11% to N3.4 billion (2013:N3.8
billion) due to fair value losses on listed equity portfolios.
Group PBT declined by 14% to N7.7 billion from N9.0 billion
recorded in 2013 as a result of net finance costs related to
the acquisition finance loan for TUPL. The finance cost grew
by 208% to N7.8 Billion (2013:N2.5 billion) due to foreign
exchange loss on the acquisition finance of TUPL following
the devaluation of the naira and the recognition of full year
of debt finance costs on the loan. Other factors that limited
PBT growth include delayed implementation of TEM and
reduced occupancy in our hotel business due to security
challenges and the Ebola Virus outbreak in some countries in
West Africa. However, the Company’s PBT increased slightly
by 3% to N3.2 billion (2013: N3.1 billion) due to lower net
finance cost in 2014.
Incremental tax exposure from TUPL reduced the Group’s PAT
in 2014 to N3.3 billion (2013: N6.9 billion). The Company’s
PAT also declined slightly by 12% to N2.4 billion (2013: N2.8
billion) due to increased withholding tax on revenues earned
by the Company.
Under the guidance of the Board, we have commenced a
number of restructuring measures to address the Group’s
exposures to the various issues that have affected financial
performance in 2014.

Key Business Achievements in 2014 & Outlook for 2015
Power
Since takeover of the Ughelli Power Plc, we have deliberately
repositioned it for significant growth as evidenced by the
aggressive ramp up in capacity from 160MW to 610MW
as end of December 2014. This makes the power plant the
fastest growing privatised power asset in the country.
Transcorp investment in Ughelli Power Plc was adjudged the
“Power Transaction of the Year” at the awards night during the
11th edition of the West Africa Power Industry Convention
(WAPIC) held in Lagos. The panel of judges commended our
efforts at recovering generating capacity and remodelling
the power station.
Oil and gas
The Group took significant strides in actualising its vision as
a significant oil and gas asset owner by finalising its rights
on OPL 281 through the execution of a production sharing
contract with NNPC.
OPL 281 offers significant oil and gas reserves necessary to
diversify the Group’s earning base and also to anchor the
Group’s integrated energy master plan specifically due to
its abundant gas reserves.

Following from the performance of the company, your

second year that your company is paying dividends after the
restructuring.
We have since moved forward in our programme of activities
by advancing required seismic studies (data gathering,
interpretation and reprocessing) towards geophysical and
geological evaluations to lead to a well drilling proposal.
In addition, we have commenced an early stage community
engagement for proper needs assessments for the host
community. We are finalising on a choice of an operational
base prior to commencement of the exploratory drilling
campaign for the oil block.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
TRANSCORP 19
Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc (“Transcorp” or “the Company”) is committed to high standards of Corporate
Governance. At Transcorp, the principles of good corporate governance are at the centre of our business and an important
ingredient in creating and sustaining value for our key stakeholders. During the year ended December 31 2014, Transcorp
complied with the provisions of the Code of Corporate Governance issued by the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)
and all laws regulating corporate governance.
1.Overview
During the year under review, the Company further entrenched good corporate governance practices. This is in line
with our conviction that corporate governance practices should be a proactive and self-propagated practice that
will enhance performance and uphold the Company’s brand equity, rather than a knee-jerk response to regulatory
impositions and sanctions. Consequently, we have continued to work relentlessly towards improving not only the Group’s
financial performance but also the self-induced good corporate governance practices without which such financial
performances cannot be sustained in the long run. To help the Board realise these objectives are the Nominations &
Governance Committee (NGC) and Finance & Investment Committee (FIC).

Our corporate governance policies approved by the Board of Directors remained operational throughout the period

promote effective governance of the Group.
Executive Management Charter

of reference, proceedings and general governance framework.
Subsidiary Governance Charter

Board proceedings. The Board meets at least four times in a year. However, during the year under review the Board
met five times. The details of Directors’ attendance of Board meetings are disclosed on page 22 of the Annual Report.
The Board establishes formal delegations of authority, defining the limits of Management’s power and authority and
delegating to Management certain powers to run the day-to-day operations of the Company. The delegation of authority
conforms to statutory limitations specifying responsibilities of the Board that cannot be delegated to Management.
Any responsibility not delegated remains with the Board and its committees. The Company has continued to benefit
tremendously from the wealth of experience of its Directors, all successful individuals who have distinguished themselves
in their chosen fields.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies and Allied Matters Act
(CAMA) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) , including International Accounting Standards
(IAS) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable
to companies reporting under IFRS.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.
It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The
areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant
to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles under IFRS, requires
the directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although
these estimates are based on the directors’ best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results ultimately
may differ from those estimates.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued
for the year ended 31 December 2014
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the fair value basis applied to certain
intangible assets, investment property and equity investments.
All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (N’000), except when otherwise indicated.
2.1.1 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have no doubt that the Company
would remain in existence after 12 months.
2.1.2 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following standards have been adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on or
after 1 January 2014 and have a material impact on the Group.
Amendment to IAS 32, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’ on offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities.
This amendment clarifies that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event. It must also be legally
enforceable for all counterparties in the normal course of business, as well as in the event of default, insolvency or
bankruptcy. The amendment also considers settlement mechanisms. The amendment did not have a significant
effect on the Group financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 36, ‘Impairment of assets’, on the recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets. This
amendment removed certain disclosures of the recoverable amount of CGUs which had been included in IAS 36 by
the issue of IFRS 13.
Other standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January
2014 are not material to the Group.
(b) New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods
beginning after 1 January 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statement.
None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except
the following set out below:
IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and
financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates
to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement
model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through
OCI and fair value through P&L. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
Early adoption is permitted. The Group is assessing full impact of IFRS 9
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for
reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer
obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good
or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The
standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted. The
Group is assessing the impact of IFRS 15.
There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material
impact on the Group.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued
for the year ended 31 December 2014
2.2Consolidation
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity
when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability
to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the separate financial
statements of Transcorp. In the consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on
which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for
the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of
the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any
asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair
value or at the present ownership instrument’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable
net assets for components that are present and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the events
of liquidation. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such
re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent
changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in
accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income.
Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for
within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisitiondate fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held
interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase,
the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
Inter-Company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform
with the Group’s accounting policies.
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control.
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions –
that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration
paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or
losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date
when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying
amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial
asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are
accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued
for the year ended 31 December 2014
2.3Segment 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 of Transcorp.
2.4Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which Transcorp operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional currency of
Transcorp and its subsidiaries is the Nigerian Naira (N). All entities in the Group have the same functional currency.
The consolidated financial statements are also presented in Naira.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions or valuation 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 recognised in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains
and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within
‘finance income or costs’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within
‘other (expenses)/income – net’. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit
or loss.
2.5Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period
in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their costs
or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Leasehold buildings
5%
Plant and machinery -Turbines
2%
Plant and machinery - Others
10%
Furniture and fittings
20%
Office equipment
10%
Motor vehicles
25%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period.
The Group allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment to its
significant parts and depreciates separately each such part. The carrying amount of a replaced part is derecognized
when replaced. Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and
adjusted if appropriate.
Where an indication of impairment exists, an asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable
amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than it’s estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised
in the income statement.

2.6Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over Transcorp’s
interest in the net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair
value of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business
combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units (CGUs), or Groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination. Each unit or Group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level
within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the
operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a
potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value
in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently
reversed.
(b)Computer software
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as expenses as incurred. Development
costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the
Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
- it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
- the directors 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 to 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 capitalised as part of the software product include the software development related
employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as expenses as incurred. Development
costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives. The estimated
useful lives of the software of the Group is between three to eight years.
c) Oil and natural gas exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Oil and natural gas exploration, evaluation and development expenditure is accounted for using the “full cost method”.
Costs incurred prior to obtaining legal rights to explore are expensed immediately to the income statement.
(i) Pre-licence costs
Pre-licence costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(ii) Licence and property acquisition costs
Exploration licence and leasehold property acquisition costs are capitalised within intangible assets and are reviewed at
each reporting date to confirm that there is no indication that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. This
review includes confirming that exploration drilling is still under way or firmly planned, or that it has been determined, or
work is under way to determine, that the discovery is economically viable based on a range of technical and commercial
considerations and sufficient progress is being made on establishing development plans and timing.
If no future activity is planned, the carrying value of the licence and property acquisition costs is written off to income
statement. Upon recognition of proved reserves and internal approval for development, the relevant expenditure is
transferred to oil and gas properties, after assessing for impairment and amortised over the remaining life of the license.

(iii) Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical
feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.
Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, costs directly associated with an exploration well are capitalised
as exploration and evaluation intangible assets until the drilling of the well is complete and the results have been
evaluated. These costs include directly attributable employee remuneration, materials, fuel used, rig costs and
payments made to contractors. If no potentially commercial hydrocarbons are discovered, the exploration asset is
written off as a dry hole. If extractable hydrocarbons are found and, subject to further appraisal activity (e.g., the
drilling of additional wells), are likely to be capable of being commercially developed, the costs continue to be
carried as an intangible asset while sufficient/continued progress is made in assessing the commerciality of the
hydrocarbons. Costs directly associated with appraisal activity undertaken to determine the size, characteristics
and commercial potential of a reservoir following the initial discovery of hydrocarbons, including the costs of
appraisal wells where hydrocarbons were not found, are initially capitalised as an intangible asset.
All such capitalised costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review as well as review for
indicators of impairment at least once a year. This is to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise
extract value from the discovery. When this is no longer the case, the costs are written off to income statement.
When proved reserves of oil and natural gas are identified and development is sanctioned by management, the
relevant capitalised expenditure is first assessed for impairment and any impairment loss is recognised, then the
remaining balance is transferred to oil and gas properties. No amortisation is charged during the exploration and
evaluation phase.
For exchanges or parts of exchanges that involve only exploration and evaluation assets, the exchange is accounted
for at the carrying value of the asset given up and no gain or loss is recognized.
iv) Development costs
Expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines
and the drilling of development wells, including unsuccessful development or delineation wells, is capitalised
within oil and gas properties.
2.7Investment properties
Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that are not occupied by
the entities in the consolidated Group, are classified as investment properties.
Recognition of investment properties takes place only when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are
associated with the investment property will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably. This is usually
the day when all risks are transferred.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the
cost of replacing parts of an existing investment property at the time the cost was incurred if the recognition criteria
are met; and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the date of the consolidated
statement of financial position.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in the consolidated income
statement in the year in which they arise. Subsequent expenditure is included in the asset’s carrying amount only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated profit or loss
during the financial period in which they are incurred The fair value of investment properties is based on the nature, location and condition of the specific asset. The fair
value is obtained from professional third party valuers contracted to perform valuations on behalf of the Group. The
fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property
and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure. These valuations are performed annually
by external appraisers.

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life – for example, goodwill are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation 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 Grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Prior
impairments of non-financial assets (other than goodwill) are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
2.9
Financial instruments
The Group 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.
2.9.1Classification
The Management determine the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets or liabilities held for trading.
A financial asset or liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the
short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be realised within 12 months;
otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
(b) 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 Group’s loans and receivables
comprises ‘trade and other receivables’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’ in the balance sheet.
The Fixed income investments have been classified as loans and receivable. The investments have a tenor of
about 180 days and the company rolls over the investments. Interest income on the fixed income investment
is recognised in the year it occurred as interest income.
(d) Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities at amortized cost include trade payables, bank debt and long-term debt.
2.9.2 Recognition and measurement
(a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial instruments in this category are recognized initially and subsequently at fair value. Transaction costs
are expensed in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are
presented in the consolidated statement of income within “other gains and losses (net)” in the period in which
they arise. Non-derivative financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current
except for the portion expected to be realized or paid beyond twelve months of the reporting date, which are
classified as long-term. Interest swaps and warrants are classified as current.
(b) 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 Group’s loans and receivables
comprises ‘trade and other receivables’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’ in the balance sheet.
The Fixed income investments have been classified as loans and receivable. The investments have a tenor of
about 180 days and the company rolls over the investments. Interest income on the fixed income investment
is recognised in the year it occurred as interest income.
(c) Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities at amortized cost include trade and other payables, advance deposits and long-term debt.

2.10 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 recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis
or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on
future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business.
2.11 Impairment of financial assets
(a) Assets carried at amortised cost
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence 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 flows of the financial asset or Group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a Group of debtors is experiencing significant
financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate
with defaults.
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 flows (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 consolidated 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 a practical expedient, the Group 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 consolidated income
statement.
2.12 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted
average method. This includes the cost of raw materials to the Company’s premises and other direct costs. Net
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less selling expenses.
2.13 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for products sold or services performed in the ordinary course of
business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.
A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. If collection is expected in
one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
2.14 Cash, cash equivalents and bank overdrafts
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call
with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank
overdrafts. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

2.15Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value
is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it
is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down
occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee
is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
2.16 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying
assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale,
are added to the cost of those assets, (i.e. Capitalised) until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their
intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.17 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 payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is 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.
2.18 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the
tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in
the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years
and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated
using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit,
and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all
taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are
not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business
combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except
where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the
asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items charged
or credited to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends
to settle its current tax liabilities on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current in the
statement of financial position.
2.19 Employee benefits
(a) Defined Contribution scheme
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme in line with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act
2004. The employer’s contributions are recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due. The Group
has no further payment obligation once the contributions have been paid.
(b) Profit-sharing and bonus plans
The Group operates a bonus plan where staff are remunerated based on parameters determined by the Board. Bonus
payments are at the discretion of the Board and the expense is recognised as in the year it is incurred. There is no
contractual obligation neither has there been a past practice to create a constructive obligation.
2.20 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for
goods supplied, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes. The Group earns revenue from the sale of goods
and services. The Company earns revenue from dividends received.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future
economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the group’s activities, as
described below.
(a) Income from investments - Corporate centre
(b) Sale of goods - Agriculture
Income from investments is recognized when it is earned. Dividends are recognised in the profit and loss account
on the date the Company’s right to receive payment is established. Interest earned on cash investments in money
market instruments is recognized in the profit and loss account as it accrues evenly over the period of the investment.
The Group manufactures and sells juice concentrates to manufacturers in the food and beverage industry. Recognition
of revenue for concentrates is recognised when it is earned. Revenue is earned when the significant risks and rewards
of ownership have been transferred to the customer or the service has been rendered; control over goods sold has
been transferred, amount of revenue can be reliably measured, costs incurred in respect of the sale can be measured
reliably and the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company.
(c) Sale of services - Power
The Group operates a power plant that generates electric power for distribution and supply by the distribution
companies. Revenue is recognised in line with the group policy on revenue recognition - when the service has been
rendered, the Group does not retain effective control over the service rendered, the amount of revenue can be
reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and costs incurred in respect
of the sale can be measured reliably.
Revenue comprises of the net value of services being capacity provided and energy sent out net of trade discounts,
rebates and VAT. Capacity charge is recognised monthly based on the average of available capacity declared at the
beginning of the month. Revenue from energy sent out is calculated on the basis of megawatts of electricity pushed
to the transmission grid. The capacity charge and energy sent out are included in revenue reported in the profit and
loss account.
Revenue is also earned from ancillary services. Revenue earned on ancilliary services relate to services provided
by the Group, other than the primary production of electricity, which is used to operate a stable and secure Power
System including but not limited to reactive power, operating reserve, frequency control and black start capability.
The ancillary services are provided in line with the existing agreement and recognises the revenue in line with its
revenue recognition policy.

Amounts received from customers in advance of receiving the goods or services is recognised as liability in the
statement of financial position described as unearned income.
(d) Sale of services - Hospitality
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the sale of goods and services
in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic
benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue and associated
costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.
Revenue includes hotel, entertainment and restaurant revenues, other service fees, rental income and the invoiced
value of goods and services sold less returns and allowances. VAT on revenue transactions are considered to be
a tax collected by the Company as an agent on behalf of the revenue authorities and is excluded from revenue.
Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja offers a customer loyalty programme called the Hilton Honours guest reward
programme on behalf of Hilton International. Under this programme, registered members earn points when they
pay for rooms or services at the Hotel. The Group accounts for the points as a separately identifiable component
of the sales transaction in which they are granted (the ‘initial sale’ of rooms or service). The consideration received
or receivable in respect of the initial sale is allocated between the points and the sale of rooms or service with
reference to the fair value of the points. Revenue is measured as the net amount retained by the hotel, i.e. the
difference between the consideration allocated to the award credits and the amount payable to the Hilton
International for supplying the awards.
2.21Leases
Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are
classified as operating leases. Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives
received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the
lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.
Finance lease
Leases of items by the Group where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the
asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net
of finance charges, are included in other longterm payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the
income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over
the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term
2.22 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in
the period in which the dividends are approved by the Group’s shareholders. In respect of interim dividends these
are recognised when declared by the Board of Directors.

2.23 Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as ‘share capital’ in equity. Any premium received over and above the par value of the
shares is classified as ‘share premium’ in equity.
Where any Group company purchases the company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid,
including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to
the company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently
reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related
income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company’s equity holders.
2.24 Treasury Shares
The cost of the Transcorp Plc’s own equity instruments that has been reacquired (‘treasury shares’) by the Company
or by other members of the consolidated Group is deducted from equity. Gain or loss is not recognised on the
purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of treasury shares. The difference between the cost and consideration received
is recognised directly in retained earnings.

Financial risk management
The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest
rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has overall
responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the group’s rsik amangement framework. The board has
established the finance and investment committee, who is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s
risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the rsisk faced by teh group, to set
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and aherence to limits. Risk management policies and
systems are reviewed regularly by the executive management to reflect changes in the market conditions and the
group’s activities.
The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the group’s risk management policies and
procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the group.
The Board is supported by various management functions that checks and undertakes both regular and ad hoc
reviews of compliance with established controls and procedures.
3.1
Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest
rate risk, and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on
the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial
performance. The Group does not hedge any of its risk exposures.
Risk management is carried out in line with policies approved by the board of directors. The board provides written
policies for overall risk management, as well as set the overall risk appetite for the Group. Specific risk management
approaches are defined for respective risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity and investment risk. The
Group’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial
performance.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The
Group makes payments and receipts primarily in Nigerian Naira. Periodically however, receipts and payments
are made in other currencies, mostly in the US dollar.
The Group is exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. A material change
in the value of any such foreign currency could result in a material adverse effect on the Group’s cash flow
and future profits. The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that balances and transactions
denominated in a currency other than the Nigerian Naira. The Group holds the majority of its cash and cash
equivalents in Naira.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

In managing foreign exchange risk, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on earnings. The
Group’s significant exposure to currency risk relates to its loan facilities and cash and cash equivalents that are mainly
in US dollars. Although the Group has various measures to mitigate exposure to foreign exchange rate movement
over the longer term, the gains/losses on foreign exchange balances impact on the profit or loss. The group approach
to managing foreign exchange risk is to hold foreign currency bank accounts. The group monitors the movement in
the currency rates on an on-going basis.
At 31 December 2014, the value of cash held in foreign currency was significantly lower than foreign currency
borrowings. Although this constitutes an exposure, the group is comfortable with foreign currency borrowings as
the finance cost savings in the long term is expected to compensate for the high volatility in foreign currency.
The balances denominated in US Dollars as at year end were borrowings and cash and cash equivalent.
The borrowings and cash balances held at year end for the Group are as stated below:

(ii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments classified on the statement of financial
position as equity investments held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not
exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group
engages a third party expert; BGL Asset Management Limited who offers advice on sale and purchase. The company
recorded significant movement in investment in equity securities as a result of a decline in the market unit price of
equity investment. See note 24.The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases in the price of the
equity securities on the group’s post-tax profit for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NSE all
share index had increased/decreased by 20% with all other variables held constant.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from short term and long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates
expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates.Borrowings
issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s policy on managing interest rate
risk is to negotiate favourable terms with the bank(s) to reduce the impact of its exposure to this risk. The interest
rate risk is significantly concentrated with United Bank of Africa(UBA) being the major lender of all borrowings by
the Group. The borrowings are disclosed in note 18.At 31 December 2014, if interest rates on borrowings at that date
had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post– tax profit of the Group and
company would have been N338.7 million (2013: N326. 6 million) lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower
interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits and debt securities with banks and financial institutions
as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Credit risk
is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The
Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk.
Credit risk is managed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Finance Officer, except for credit risk relating to
trade receivable balances. For deposits, the Group only deals with or invests in independently rated top 10 banks in
Nigeria. The Group analyses the risk profile of the obligor before making investments in debt securities. Investments
are only made when such analysis are deemed satisfactory.

Most of the Group’s trade customers are not independently rated, therefore the quality of the customer is considered
by taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Each subsidiary is responsible for
managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new customers before standard delivery terms and conditions
are offered. The continuous credit worthiness of the existing customers is analysed periodically based on history of
performance of the obligations and settlement of their debt. The Group does not hold any collateral as security, no
receivables have had their terms renegotiated.
No financial assets are past due except for trade receivables. As at December 31, 2014, trade receivables of N5.3
billion (2013; N4.5 billion million) were fully performing, N13.2 billion (2013; N1.9 billion) were past due but not
impaired and N152.1 million (2013; N140 million) were impaired. The aging analysis of the latter two categories of
receivables is as follows:

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued
for the year ended 31 December 2014
Concentration of credit risk is determined by the percentage of trade receivable due from a counterparty in proportion to
the total trade receivables of the Group. Any receivable equal or greater than 25% of the total trade receivable of the Group
is considered significant. For the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group had a significant concentration of credit risk with
one customer. Over 25% of the trade receivable was owing from the government regulated body for power transmission.
The receivable is deemed recoverable as N7.3 billion of the balance oustanding at year end had been paid.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Cash flow
forecasts are prepared by the Group Chief Finance Officer to monitor the Group’s liquidity requirements and ensure it
has sufficient cash to meet operational needs at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits on any
of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasts take into consideration the Group’s committed and expected debt financing
plans, internal and administrative cashflow requirements in arriving at the headroom for investments.
Surplus cash held by the Group over and above the balance required for working capital management are invested
in debt or equity securities. These can be realised in the short term to provide sufficient head-room as determined by
the above-mentioned forecasts.
The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining
period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual
undiscounted cash flows.

3.2Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern to in
order to maximise returns for shareholders.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on a monthly basis using the gearing ratio. This ratio
is calculated as total debt divided by total equity. Total debt is a sum of the short and long term borrowings. Total equity
is calculated as the sum of all equity components of the statement of financial position.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may increase or reduce its borrowings to obtain an
appropriate gearing ratio.
During 2014, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2013, was to maintain the gearing ratio not greater than
75% for financing its long term investments in the agriculture, power, oil and gas and hospitality sectors. The gearing
ratios at 31 Dec 2014 and 2013 are as follows

Gearing ratio
The slight increase in the gearing ratio for the group during 2014 resulted from an increased borrowings during the
year and reduction in cash and cash equivalents from 2013. The reduction in cash and cash equivalents resulted from
payment of diviends during the year and timing of principal loan repayments towards the year end date. Details have
been presented in note 18.
3.3Fair value estimation
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been
defined as follows:
•
•
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
•
•
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.
(a) Financial instruments in level 1
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance
sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange,
dealer, broker, industry Group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly
occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held
by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 1
comprise primarily equity investments listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) classified as Equity securities
at fair value through profit or loss.
(b) Financial instruments in level 2
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely
as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are
observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
4.1 Critical accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires the directors to use judgment in applying its accounting policies
and estimates and assumptions about the future. Estimates and other judgments are continuously evaluated and are
based on the directors’ experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and
estimates that the Group has made in the preparation of the financial statements:
Impairment of goodwill
The Group reviews goodwill at least annually and other non-financial assets when there is any indication that the asset
might be impaired. The Group has estimated the value in use and fair value of operating segments to which goodwill is
allocated using discounted cash flow models that required assumptions about future cash flows, margins, and discount
rates. See note 7 for methods and assumptions used in estimating net recoverable amount.

4.2 Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
Consolidation of entities in which the group holds less than 50%
The Group is considered to have de facto control of Transcorp Staff Share Ownership Trust Company Limited (the entity)
even though the Group’s interest is only 1%. Control has been determined based on the following considerations:
I) The Group directs the activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns
ii) Transcorp is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the entity as the residual shares in the scheme
belong to the Company.
iii) Transcorp has the ability to use its power to affect the returns from its involvement with the entity
The Group did not provide financial or other support to the subsidiary and management does not have any
intentions to provide financial or other support to the subsidiary.

Goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment annually. The remaining amortisation period for computer software cost
is between 3 to 6 years. The Production Sharing Contract between Transcorp and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
was signed on 2 May 2014. Per the signed agreement, the exploration period is for 5 years after which the OPL converts to an
Oil Mining License for a period of 20 years. Amortisation of the OPL cost will commence when it has been determined that
commercial quantity of crude can be produced from the oil field and mining commences.

A re-measurement of the goodwill arising from acquisition of Ughelli Power Plc was done during the year resulting in a
measurement period adjustment as described in IFRS 3. The initial accounting for the business combination was incomplete as
the deferred tax liability of N4.089 billion was not included in determination of net assets as at acquisition date, 1 November
2013. As at date of acquisition, the related tax bases of the corresponding assets and liabilities had not been determined.
The deferred tax liability arose from timing differences and fair valuation of property, plant and equipment. Details of the
re-measurement of goodwill is as follows:

The adjustment of N4.089 billion has been made to the carrying amount of Goodwill as at 31 December 2014
Goodwill arose from the excess of the consideration over acquisition-date fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities
of subsidiaries acquired. The goodwill amount relates to pre-existing goodwill from previous business combinations. No
additional goodwill was recorded for the business combination under common control.
In assessing goodwill for impairment at 31 December 2014 and 2013 , the Company compared the aggregate recoverable
amount of the assets included in the CGUs below to their respective carrying amounts. Recoverable amount has been
determined based on the value in use of the CGUs using five year cash flow budgets approved by directors that made
maximum use of observable markets for inputs and outputs. For periods beyond the budget period, cash flows were
extrapolated using growth rates that do not exceed the long-term average for the business.

An independent valuation of the Company’s land was performed by Ubosi Eleh and Co to determine the fair value of
the land as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013. The following table analyses the non-financial assets carried
at fair value, by valuation method. The current market prices of the land were used to determine the fair value as at
these dates.

Additions during the year relates to purchase of 10,141.19 square meters of land situated at Oromeruezingbu Village, Port
Harcourt for the proposed Transcorp Hotel in Port Harcourt. The land is held to earn rental income. A lease agreement
was entered into on 1 December 2014 with Transcorp Hotels Port Harcourt for a 25 year period. As at 31 December
2014, the rental income earned from the property amounted to N333,000. No other expense was incurred in the year.
Fair value is measured through the following:
– Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
– Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
– Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.
Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 fair values
Level 2 fair values of land have been derived using the sales comparison approach. Sales prices of comparable land
in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size. The most significant input into
this valuation approach is price per square foot.

significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (that is,
as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
There were no transfer of financial assets between fair value levels of hierarchy.

• Equity investments are carried at fair value based on market prices as at the reporting date.
• The fair values of borrowings are based on cash flows discounted using a rate based on the borrowing rate of 17%
• The rate used is the average interest rate obtainable from commercial banks and has been determined as a level 2
and other receivables and trade and other payables are highly
liquid investments which are due on demand or within one year.

A significant portion (82%) of the Group’s equity portfolio is its investment in UBA shares. The market price of the equity
security decreased by 52% from N8.9 in December 2013 to N4.30 in December 2014 whereas the share price recorded
a 95% increase (increase of N4.34) from December 2012 to 2013.
The changes in the market price of the UBA share resulted in a downward movement of N4.9 billion in the fair value
gain/loss. This contributed significantly to the movement of the fair value gains/loss on equity securities from a gain of
N2.8 billion in 2013 to N2.2 billion loss in 2014. Measures put in place by management to mitigate against its price risk
has been disclosed in Note 3.1(ii).

The company also made an application for excess dividend tax exemption to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)
on 11 August 2014 to avoid multiple taxes from the group structure. This was to take advantage of a similar exemption
that was granted to holding companies in the banking industry. The revenue authority has resolved to determine the
application alongside other similar applications filed with respect to the same issue. The determination will require
the approval of the Board of the FIRS and it is expected that the response will be positive. If the excess dividend tax
exemption application is granted, the expected tax savings as at 31 December 2014 from the exemption will be N413.5
million.
