About Kenya Association of Manufacturers Kenya Association of Manufacturers is the representative organization for the manufacturing sector in Kenya. Established in 1959 as a private sector body, KAM has evolved into a dynamic, vibrant, credible and respected business association that unites industrialists and offers a common voice for businesses. KAM provides an essential link for co-operation, dialogue and understanding with the Government by representing the views and concerns of its members to the relevant authorities. In pursuit of its core mandate of policy advocacy, KAM promotes trade and investment, upholds standards, encourages the formulation, enactment and administration of sound policies that facilitate a competitive business environment and reduce the cost of doing business. In 2009, KAM unveiled a new corporate image as it observed 50 years since its establishment.

KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

Chairlady’s Statement Dear Fellow Members, It is my pleasure to welcome you to this year’s Annual General Meeting and to provide a full report of the organization’s performance and achievements. Competitive manufacturing is all about creating an enabling business environment and that is what KAM strives to achieve. A healthy business environment has trickle-down effects such as job creation and sustainable economic growth and this has formed the basis for our advocacy over the years. In line with this, KAM Board of Directors last year reviewed the organization’s Business Development Plan, in a bid to strengthen the raison d’etre for our organization, ensuring that we embed broad-based inclusivity and sustainability in everything that we do. We realize that beyond the service we provide to our membership every day, KAM has to take up its rightful space in driving the industrialization vision from the boardrooms into a national agenda. Our BDP looks at how we can strategically, demystify manufacturing and make it a staple for national discourse in order to ensure that our country achieves the economic goals it has set. The Manufacturing Priority Agenda that was laid out in 2016 set the pace for the development of our BDP 2017-2019 with a view to situate ourselves within the bigger picture. The MPA whose theme was ‘Promoting Industry in Kenya for Shared Prosperity’ outlined five pillars from which our advocacy would stem. The pillars were as follows; development of a general policy framework, Ensuring a level playing field for all, promoting competitive local manufacturing, making Kenya a manufacturing hub for exports and securing the future of industry. Anchoring our policy advocacy on the above and our overall vision, we sort breakthroughs in these areas in order to gain meaningful and long-lasting change for the country. The high level buy-in for the Buy Kenya Build Kenya campaign, by the President and the Government as a whole, was truly a big score for the local

KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

Chief Executive’s Report 2016 was a year of many great strides. As an Association, we remained steadfast in our service to our members through our core mandate. We strived to propel manufacturing sector in its contribution towards the country’s economic growth. We recognize and laud the key milestones made by the government in 2016 such as the signing and ratification of the EAC - EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) securing duty-free access of Kenyan exports to the EU market under the current EU Market Access Regulation (MAR) regime and until such time that the EPA is signed and ratified by all 5 EAC Member States. As a country, we moved up 21 positions in the Ease of Doing Business Index to achieve position 92 out of 190 countries worldwide. Starting a business was one of the indicators in which we showed improvement as a country and this means that we are sending a message to both local and global investors that we are ready to move our economy to the next level. We have also seen strengthened dialogue between the Government and the industry leading to achievements such as access to markets and passing legislations of business related laws such as the Company Act, Insolvency Act and Business Registration Service Act. Working with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperative, a taskforce for promotion of good business practice between suppliers, retailers and manufacturers was formed in October 2016. The Chair of the taskforce is the Principal Secretary, State Department of Trade. KAM will continue to work with the government and other stakeholders towards formulating the right policies and regulatory frameworks for local businesses to achieve profitability. Some of the focus areas for the association that have helped track and evaluate our wins include: Manufacturing Priority Agenda (MPA) Great progress was made in advancing the five-point manufacturing Agenda 2016 aimed at promoting industry in Kenya for shared prosperity. KAM focused on addressing issues with regards to the cost of doing business, market expansion and reduction of regulatory burdens that affect business. The environment in which business operate in is highly regulated, and one of KAM’s objective is to ensure that business environment remains competitive by providing services that ease this burden. In 2017, the Manufacturing Priority Agenda will be centered on driving industrial transformation for job creation and inclusive economic growth. A 5-point agenda will be pursued by the Association on behalf of the manufacturing sector; Policy, Legal and Regulatory Reforms, Level playing field for manufacturing in Kenya, Competitive Local Manufacturing Sector, Make Kenya a manufacturing hub for Exports and Securing the future of Industry.

KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

We are happy to that the 2016/2017 National Budget sought to address a number of issues that were raised by KAM. About 70 per cent of our proposals went through and for this, we appreciated the support received from the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives and the National Treasury. Other fruitful engagements we had include a trade mission to Goma, DRC. We also hosted the first ever Kenya Manufacturing Conference and Expo, Clean Energy Conference and 12th Annual Energy Management Awards. Partnerships KAM continued to strengthen its partnership and remained a partner of choice for various institutions, both governmental and non-governmental. I am grateful to all our partners; The Government of Kenya, The Government of Denmark, British High Commission, The German Embassy, GIZ, TradeMark East Africa, Business Advocacy Fund, UK Department for International Development, The World Bank, Kenya Power, United Nations Development Programme, and European Union through the COMESA Regional Integration Implementation Project, for your continued support. We are grateful for our partners who continue to walk with us on the journey towards creating an enabling business environment for business to operate in. Sustainability Through the Global Compact, KAM continued to encourage the business community to implement the 10 principles of UN Global Compact in their business operations to ensure sustainability. The Global Compact Network Kenya, which is housed at KAM, was in October 2016 awarded the 2016 Local Networks Award for promoting Responsible business in the annual Local Networks forum held in Dubai. The Kenya Network was among 12 UN Global Compact Networks around the world out of 85 countries assessed.

Most notably, the Kenya Network has rallied the Private Sector to join in the efforts to fight corruption through the Code of Ethics for Business in Kenya - a call to companies to put in place measures at firm level to fight the vice - and the drafting of the Bribery Bill which was signed into law in January, 2017. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) in partnership with German Corporation for International Development (GIZ) launched a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) project aimed to provide technical jobs and economic opportunities for Kenyan youth. We are committed to addressing the gap in the system by working together with technical training institutions and the manufacturing industries in ensuring that skills’ training is demand driven. The Association also celebrated the election of its Chairlady, Ms. Flora Mutahi as the Vice Chairperson of the Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Business Council. Ms. Mutahi was elected after a highly contested election in Lusaka, Zambia. COMESA Business Council (CBC) key role is to provide a platform for advocacy in the development and progress of the private sector in respective economies. 2016 was a year we won on issues that have long hindered our ability to do business competitively, and although not all our battles were won, we remain proud and happy to have made this a better business environment.

Thank You, Phyllis Wakiaga, Chief Executive

Energy Management Awards

Chandaria Industries take top spot in Energy Management

Energy Management Award (EMA) was launched in 2004 as collaboration between the Kenya Association of Manufacturers, Global Environmental Facility and the Government of Kenya. EMA is a forum where all the stakeholders in the energy sector converge so as to auspiciously celebrate excellence in energy management. Participation in the award is open to all industrial, commercial and institutional enterprises. In addition, individuals can participate in the innovative category. Organizers receive application forms and assessment tools, which are completed and submitted for evaluation by the technical committee. This team then conducts visits for verification of the submitted data. The assessments are then presented to the panel of judges, who adjudicate and nominate the winners and runners-ups, based on the set criteria. EMA is organized and managed by the Kenya Association of Manufacturers through its Centre for Energy Efficiency and Conservation (CEEC). Email: ema@kam.co.ke

Global Strategic Objective: Ensure KAM is financially prudent, sustainable, and has a highly motivated, professional secretariat that uses efficient and modern tools to deliver a broadened mandate.

Being the final year for the implementation of the 2014-2016 Business Development Plan (BDP), the focus in Operations was consolidation of steps taken towards institutional sustainability from a holistic perspective. We concluded the review of KAM operations policies and procedures in the areas of administration, human resource, procurement and ICT to bring them in tandem with latest developments and best practice. We also transited our finance management into sage evolution. We embarked on automation of processes which once fully done should facilitate smooth and timely service delivery to both our internal and external customers. The dividends of the improved financial management manifested in KAM maintaining its liquidity and financial stability in the year 2016 even after fully repaying the Barclays Loan facility long before term.

Statement of Executive Committee Members’ Responsibilities The Kenyan Companies Act requires the Executive committee members to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the financial position of the company as at the end of the financial year and of its operating results for that year. It also requires the Executive committee members to ensure that the company maintains proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the transactions of the company and disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the company. The Executive committee members are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company, and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and error. The Executive committee members accept responsibility for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Kenyan Companies Act. They also accept responsibility for: (i) designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control as they determine necessary to enable the presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; (ii) selecting suitable accounting policies and applying them consistently; and (iii) making accounting estimates and judgements that are reasonable in the circumstances. Having made an assessment of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Executive committee are not aware of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Executive members acknowledge that the independent audit of the financial statements does not relieve them of their responsibilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’

Report to the Members of Kenya Association of Manufacturers (A Company Limited By Guarantee) Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kenya Association of Manufacturers (the “Company”), set out on pages 9 to 29, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya Code of ethics (ICPAK Code of Ethics), which is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, together with other ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Kenya, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information The executive committee members are responsible for the other information, which comprises the report of executive committee as required by the Kenyan Companies Act. The other information does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’

Report to the Members of Kenya Association of Manufacturers (A Company Limited By Guarantee) (Continued) Responsibilities of executive committee members and those charged with governance for the financial statements The Executive committee members are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act, and for such internal controls as Executive committee members determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the executive committee members are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The Executive committee members and those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: ▪

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Executive Members.

KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’

Report to the Members of Kenya Association of Manufacturers (A Company Limited By Guarantee) (Continued) ▪

Conclude on the appropriateness of the Executive member’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements As required by the Kenyan Companies Act, we report to you, based on our audit, that: i)

we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of our audit; ii) in our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the company, so far as appears from our examination of those books of account; and iii) the company’s statement of financial position (balance sheet) and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (profit and loss account) are in agreement with the books of account. The engagement partner responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is CPA Fred Aloo - P/No 1537.

(b)

New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

(c)

Early adoption of standards

The company did not early adopt any new or revised standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective.

KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Continued) 1

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Subscriptions and entrance fees are recognised when received. Subscriptions received relating to subsequent years is accounted for as deferred income. Income from services rendered to members is recognised when the services are rendered. Rental income and management fees are recognised when earned. Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

Grants

Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. They are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Any unexpended grants are carried forward as liabilities. Excess of expenditure over receipts for specific grants are recognised as revenue and included in the financial statements as accounts receivable from donors.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary 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. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible

66

ANNUAL REPORT 2016


KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Continued)

temporary differences are utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from good will or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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.

Retirement benefit costs

Company defined contribution association

The company operates a defined contribution association for eligible employees. The association is administered by Alexander Forbes Financial Services Ltd and is funded by contributions from both the company and employees. The employees contribute 5% of their basic pay while the employer contributes 7.5%.

Statutory defined contribution association

The company also contributes to a statutory contribution association, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). Contributions are determined by local statute and are currently limited to a maximum of Sh 200 per employee per month. The company’s contributions to both associations are recognised in profit or loss as they fall due.

Gratuity

The company operates a service gratuity association for its contracted employees. Entitlements to service gratuity are recognised when they accrue to qualifying employees. A provision is made for the estimated annual staff gratuity payable as a result of services rendered by the employees up to the statement reporting date. Staff are entitled to their contributions on expiry of their contracts.

Foreign currencies

Transactions during the year which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Kenya Shillings at rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date, which are expressed in foreign currencies, are translated into Kenya Shillings at rates ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences resulting from the translations are dealt with in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any impairment losses. Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such property is recognised in other

ANNUAL REPORT 2016

67


KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Continued)

comprehensive income and accumulated in the properties revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously expensed. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such property and equipment is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the properties revaluation reserve is transferred directly to retained earnings. Buildings are revalued every 3 to 5 years on an open market value basis. Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of the property and equipment over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:

Buildings Furniture Equipment

Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts. On disposal of revalued assets, amounts in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

5% on straight line basis 12.5% on reducing balance basis 30% on reducing balance basis

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Payments to acquire leasehold interest in land are treated as prepaid operating lease rentals and amortised over the period of the lease.

Borrowings

Interest bearing loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct costs. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method; any differences between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value are recognized in the profit and loss account over the period of the borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such

68

ANNUAL REPORT 2016


KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Continued)

indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for assets other than goodwill, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Provision for employee entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave accrued at the reporting date.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets

Classification

The company classifies its financial assets into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans, advances and receivables; held- to- maturity; and available-forsale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories: Financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management.

Loans, advances and receivables

Loans, advances and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. ANNUAL REPORT 2016

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Continued)

Held to maturity

Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Where a sale occurs other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would be tainted and be classified as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale financial assets

These are financial assets that are not (a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, (b) loans, advances and receivables, or (c) financial assets held to maturity.

Recognition

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss� are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation reserve, until the financial asset is derecognised or impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in revaluation reserve is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition

Financial assets are de recognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where the company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured at fair value net of transaction costs.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and short term liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are within 3 months of maturity when acquired, less advances from the banks payable within three months from the date of the advance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the critical judgments and key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements and that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

Held -to-maturity investments

The company follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the company evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the company fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity – it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value, not amortised cost.

Impairment

This involves determination of whether assets are impaired and requires an estimation of the value of the assets.

Property and equipment

Critical estimates are made by The Executive Committee Members in determining useful lives of property and equipment.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The company’s s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit and liquidity risks, effects of changes in foreign currency and interest rates risks. The company’s 's overall risk management programme focuses on unpredictability of changes in the business environment and seeks to minimise the potential adverse effect of such risks on its performance by setting acceptable levels of risk. Risk management is carried out by the management under policies approved by the Executive Committee. Management identifies and evaluates financial risks. The Executive Committee provides principles for overall risk management. There has been no change to the company’s exposure to financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

82

Market risk (i)

Foreign exchange risk The company is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to the US dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities. Monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies are closely monitored to ensure that they are not materially affected by adverse foreign currency fluctuations.

At 31 December 2016, if the Shilling had weakened/strengthened by 5% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the impact on surplus before taxation for the year

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Continued)

would have been Sh 26,434 (2015: Sh 6,184) higher/lower, mainly as a result of US dollar bank balances. (ii)

Interest rate risk The company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from government securities, commercial paper and short term deposits that it holds.

At 31 December 2016, an increase/decrease of 5% on average interest rates would have resulted in an increase/decrease in surplus before taxation of Sh 2,245,897 (2015: Sh 2,767,660). Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. The company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Credit risk arises from deposits with financial institutions, investments in government securities and trade receivables. The company’s finance department assesses the credit quality of each member, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The company only transacts with reputable financial institutions to mitigate credit risk from such institutions. Government securities are guaranteed by the government and are considered near risk free by the market. The company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The company defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements that represents the company’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained is as follows: Fully performing Past due Impaired Total Sh Sh Sh Sh 31 December 2016 Government securities 54,959,102 - - 54,959,102 Bank balances 122,152,450 - - 122,152,450 177,111,552 - - 177,111,552 31 December 2015 Government securities Term deposits Bank balances

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Liquidity risk

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Executive Committee, which has developed and put in place an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

The table below analyses the company’s financial liabilities that will be settled on a net basis into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Fair Value of financial assets and liabilities

The table below shows an analysis of financial instruments at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy. The financial instruments are grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

84

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This level includes equity securities and debt instruments listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly as prices or indirectly as derived from prices.

Level 3 – inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level includes equity investments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The capital structure of the company consists of a capital fund and retained earnings. The company monitors its capital risk using the gearing ratio which is calculated as total debt over total capital. Net debt is calculated as total of long and short term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
