This occurred at a time when we were considering plans for 2013 and the Board concluded that future markets were uncertain. During November we considered a number of strategic options for the group’s future but given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the economy the Board decided that the operations of the business should concentrate resources on those activities that would be cash generative and profitable. Notwithstanding the progress that had been made at improving asset utilization and quality of own manufactured aluminium coils in the last 2 years it became clear that the Mill could not compete with imported products and the decision was made to stop manufacture which lead to the direct loss of 215 skilled jobs. For our supply chain the position is worse as each manufacturing job is generally considered to support 3 others because we are major consumers of materials, spares, consumables and service and wherever possible we have endeavored to source locally. We have not given up hope that manufacturing is completely finished in Port Harcourt however. The Mill has effectively been mothballed meaning that if in the future a Government creates an environment where local manufacturing is no longer disadvantaged we can restart operations. We cannot foresee that happening in the near future which is why we have impaired the fixed assets, and written down inventory to estimated realisable value . New financial reporting standards mean that the costs of closure are no longer considered to be exceptional but are shown as discontinued operations in our annual accounts to provide for a fuller explanation and better understanding of the underlying business that goes forward into 2013. The total cost of closing, the manufacturing is calculated to be N525million comprising impairment of property, plant and equipment N305m impairment of the inventories N163m and employment termination costs of N58m International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) Following a meeting of the Nigerian Federal Executive Council in July 2010 January 1, 2012 was chosen as the effective date for convergence of accounting standards in Nigeria with IFRS. IFRS has been accepted or adopted for public accounting purposes in over 100 countries and adoption is seen as improving comparability and transparency. FAN has had to prepare 2012 and 2011 financial statements and the opening balance sheet (as of 1 January 2011) by applying the IFRSs effective at 31 December 2012. Certain figures for 2010 and 2011 have been restated to comply with IFRS . Since IAS 1 requires that at least one year of comparative prior period financial information be presented, the opening balance sheet is 1 January 2011. This means that our first financial statements should include at least: • three balance sheets (statements of financial position) • two statements of comprehensive income • two separate income statements (if presented) • two statements of cash flows • two statements of changes in equity • and related notes, including comparative information Corporate Governance The Board sets the tone for the way in which Fan operates and we remain committed to running the business in a responsible way. The Board considers current performance, strategy, risk management, the internal control framework and other aspects of corporate governance throughout the year. Some of the discussions involve the wider team of 6 2012 Annual Report & Financial Statements Chairman’s Statement for the year ended 31 December 2012 executive officers so that executive management is able to disseminate the values and standards of the Board throughout the company and ensure these are embedded at all levels.
