(m)<br />

Payables<br />

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business<br />

from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in<br />

the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.<br />

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective<br />

interest method.<br />

(n)<br />

Share capital<br />

Ordinary shares are classified as ‘share capital’ in equity. Any premium received over and above the par value of the<br />

shares is classified as ‘share premium’ in equity.<br />

(o)<br />

Cash and cash equivalents<br />

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call<br />

with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank<br />

overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.<br />

Employee benefits<br />

(i) Retirement benefit obligations<br />

For unionised employees, the Group has an unfunded obligation to pay terminal gratuities under its Collective<br />

Bargaining Agreement with the union. Employees who resign after serving for periods of between five years and<br />

ten years, receive eighteen days salary and house allowance for each completed year of service at the rate of pay<br />

applicable at the date of resigning. Those who resign after serving for more than ten years receive twenty four days<br />

salary and house allowance for each completed year of service. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually<br />

by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Any increase or decrease in the provision other<br />

than benefits paid is taken to the profit or loss.<br />

The Group in Kenya operates a defined contribution post-employment benefit scheme for all its permanent nonunionised<br />

employees after their first year of employment. The assets of the scheme are held in a separate trustee<br />

administered fund, which is funded by contributions from both the group and the employees. The Group and all its<br />

permanent employees also contribute to the statutory National Social Security Funds, which are defined contribution<br />

schemes. The Group’s contributions to both these defined contribution schemes are charged to the income statement<br />

in the year in which they fall due. The Group has no further obligation once the contributions have been paid.<br />

(ii) Other entitlements<br />

The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the reporting date is<br />

recognised as an expense accrual.<br />

(iii) Termination benefits<br />

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date,<br />

or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises<br />

termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to a termination when the entity has a detailed formal plan<br />
