The address of the company's registered office can be found on page 2 of the report. The principal activities of the company are the manufacture of high-quality chocolate, confectionery and semi-finished cocoa products such as cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, cocoa cake and cocoa powder from premium cocoa beans grown in Ghana. The significant accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of financial statements are set out below: 2 Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost/revaluation basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. a Revenue Regognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts for goods sold in the normal course of business net of discounts, VAT/National Insurance Levy and other sales related taxes. Exports sales are recognized when the invoiced value of cocoa products supplied to customers and receivable free on board (FOB) are shipped. Local sales of confectionery and other cocoa products are also recognized when goods are delivered and title has passed. b Transactions in other Currencies Transactions denominated in currencies other than cedis are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than cedis are retranslated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the Balance Sheet date. All translation differences are taken to income statement account. c Property, Plant and Equipment Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost/valuation less accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged against profit and loss as incurred. Major improvements and replacements that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. d Depreciation 8 Depreciation is provided on the depreciable amount of each component on a reducing balance basis over the anticipated useful life of the asset. The depreciable amount related to each asset is determined as the difference between the gross value and the residual value of the asset. The residual value is the estimated amount, net of disposal costs that the company would currently obtain from the disposal of an asset in similar age and condition as expected at the end of the useful life of the asset. The current annual depreciation rates for each class of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Building and Roadwork 2% Staff Bungalow and Flats 2% Plant and Machinery 5% Motor Vehicle 25% Laboratory Equipment 20% Office Furniture & Equipment 20% Bungalow Furniture & Equipment 20% e Research and Development Research costs are written off as incurred. Costs involved in the development of new recipes and products are also written off in the year of expenditure, except in certain circumstances when it may be deferred to future periods where the outcome is expected to be successful.

  • Cocoa in West Africa Report
    the Cocoa Industry in West Africa A history of exploitation Anti-Slavery International 2004 Anti-Slavery International The Cocoa Industry in West Africa: A history of exploitation The Cocoa Industry in West Africa: A history of exploitation Introduction When extensive child and slave labour was found on the cocoa farms of Côte d’Ivoire in late 2000, many British consumers were shocked. Chocolate companies, cocoa suppliers, and retailers searched for a way to address this serious problem. The way forward was unclear. The immediate reaction of some consumers was a decision to stop eating chocolate altogether or to call for a boycott of exports from Côte d’Ivoire. Yet it quickly became clear that a boycott might have disastrous results for both cocoa workers and Côte d’Ivoire as a whole. What was needed was more in-depth information of the conditions and extent of enslaved labour, of how cocoa from West Africa reaches the consumer, of what would be appropriate and reasoned responses to the problem. In answer to this need and to provide information on the industry reaction and actions since, Anti-Slavery International has prepared this document – an in-depth analysis of how cocoa is produced and how child and slave labour enter its chain of production. It relates the history of cocoa and explores how this commodity fits within a global market. It also explains the events following the ‘discovery’ of slavery in cocoa farming, what actions have been and are being taken to remove slavery from the chocolate we eat. Drawing on a wide range of sources, it concludes with recommendations for consumers, the chocolate industry and governments on actions needed to address this serious problem.
