FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC annual report 2010 J. M. Ajekigbe OFR Chairman 6 FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC annual report 2010 Chairman’s statement Distinguished Shareholders, my colleagues on the Board, invited guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the 38th Annual General Meeting of our Company. I am also delighted to present the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. The economic environment The company’s policy is to pay about 75 per cent of its PAT as dividend to its shareholders. The dividend paid in any particular year however depends on the financial performance of the company and the level of its cash and bank balances. Based on the strong financial performance of the company during the year, the Board of Directors is proposing a total dividend of =N=29.75 per =N=1.00 share, which is equivalent to 100 per cent of the company’s PAT for the year under review. An interim dividend of =N=5.62 was paid in November 2010. A final dividend of =N=24.13 per =N=1.00 share is therefore being proposed for your approval. The final dividend which will be subject to withholding tax at the rate prescribed by Government, will be payable on 29 April 2011. The Board is also proposing for your approval, a bonus of 1 share for every 4 shares held as at the close of Members’ Register, in addition to the very generous dividend. The global dairy market With the recovery of the global economy, worldwide demand for dairy products from both consumers and industrial users increased when compared to the previous year. This increased demand exceeded the supply, and consequently prices of commodities like milk powder, the company’s main raw material, went up significantly. Management will continue with its efforts to sustain and improve on the company’s performance, but shareholders should not take the 100 per cent dividend pay-out and the scrip issue as precedents, as your company will soon be embarking on modernization of existing production lines and addition of new ones, both of which will require substantial funding. Operating results and performance Market development The economic environment in 2010 was rather harsh for companies in the manufacturing sector. Infrastructure, especially power supply and road network, remained in a poor state and insecurity to life and property was heightened in some states of the Federation by religious and communal strife. The level of unemployment also remained high. All these factors impacted negatively on the ability of companies to produce and sell their products profitably. Throughout the year, the country struggled to recover from the effects of the global recession. The banking sector however regained some level of confidence as a result of the reforms introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, but borrowing rate remained relatively high at about 14 per cent per annum as at year-end, whilst deposit rates dropped dramatically to between 2 - 3 per cent per annum. Despite the harsh economic environment, the commercial and financial performance of the company remained impressive. Turnover during the year increased by 18 per cent to =N=90.4 billion. Profit Before Tax increased by 11 per cent to =N=16.98 billion while Profit After Tax (PAT) increased by 10 per cent to =N=11.62 billion. These excellent results were achieved through efficient management of resources, especially the ability of Management to increase sales volume, implement proper pricing strategy and keep down administrative cost from the previous year’s level. Finance continued to be a major challenge to our distributors in 2010 due to reluctance of banks to resume lending. As a result, there was frequent stagnation in product off -takes due to the reduced spending capacity of our customers. Security issues in certain parts of the country also led to market closures and disruptions in sales. Increase in the price of raw materials made an upward review of product prices inevitable during the year. This was however done with caution, because of consumers sensitivity to price movements. Despite these challenges, Dividend FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC annual report 2010 7 Chairman’s statement the total dairy market in Nigeria grew by almost 4 per cent in volume and 8 per cent in value in 2010. FrieslandCampina Wamco’s market share of the total dairy market grew from 43 per cent in 2009 to 44 per cent in 2010.In times of economic hardship, consumers prefer to go for brands that they believe in and know best. FrieslandCampina Wamco continued to invest in Advertising and Promotion of both Peak and Three Crowns brands in order to reaffirm and strengthen the brand image. train about 6 Nigerian graduates in the Netherlands under a programme with the Wagenengen Research Centre. Evaporated and condensed milk category showed moderate growth in value. The introduction of Low Unit Portion Pack (LUPP) Peak Evap sachet in late 2009 however contributed significantly to the increase in Evap volumes and the market share of Peak. LUPP in powder category also showed continuous growth, with Peak 22g sachet achieving significant sales growth. In the infant and toddler segment, FrieslandCampina Wamco occupies a strong position with Peak GUM123. The Friso brand hitherto handled by a third party distributor was in the final phase of transfer to the company. Medical detailing was also successfully set up in 2010. The Company’s sales depots were expanded to cover more locations, improve distribution and get closer to consumers. Sales through depots also grew significantly in 2010, improving customer profitability. The rural distribution model, which leverages on the affordability of the LUPP and piloted in a few areas in 2009, was successfully rolled out to more locations in 2010. After installation in 2009, the first Evap LUPP production line has now reached its highest efficiency levels in the production of high quality evaporated milk in sachets. The second production line was installed in 2010 and will be fully operational in early 2011. Dairy development programme In response to the Federal Government’s policy to encourage local content, the company took the initiative by starting to source fresh milk locally under a Dairy Development Programme (DPP) aimed at increasing the local content of milk used in its products. This is, however, an extremely challenging project as milk production on an industrial scale hardly exists in Nigeria. As a first step, a contract has been signed to accept milk from Shonga Farms, an industrial farm already operating in Kwara State. Over 200,000 litres of fresh milk were collected in 2010. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, small-scale dairy farming will be developed along the model that has proven effective in South East-Asia. Through specially designed education programs, Dutch milk production know- how will be transferred to Nigerian farmers, training them in yield management, hygiene, breeding, feeding and animal well- being. However, only a well-coordinated action in public-privatepartnership will make this programme successful and beneficial to all stakeholders. Arrangement is being made to 8 Operations The company continued to increase its capacity in order to meet the growing demand of the Nigerian and other West African markets. Process modernization continued, thus improving on safety and efficiency. In 2010, no major accidents or product recalls were reported. As a result of the commencement of the DDP, fresh milk deliveries from local farmers in Shonga, Kwara State began in 2010. The fresh milk reception station is fully operational, and connected to the processing of evaporated milk. The commissioning of a new Chilled Water Plant has been completed, replacing the smaller, maintenance-intensive older units. The new plant is more energy efficient and is a more environmentally friendly solution. The on-site petrol station was relocated to a safer place and both storage and filling equipment were upgraded, thus improving safety in the premises. In 2010, production output increased again across all factories, with particular growth in powder categories resulting in decrease of conversion costs. Overall, output numbers exceeded both budgeted as well as last year’s levels. The Powder factory has been extended to fulfill the growing demand for portion packs and Choco products. The supply problems of local cocoa not meeting the high quality standards have also been overcome. Close cooperation between the local Procurement Department and their Head Office colleagues helped to realize substantial material cost savings. Warehouse space for the storage of finished goods and raw materials had become a bottleneck because of the increase in production. A third party operated warehouse on Acme Road however eased the pressure on storage significantly. The Supply Chain is continuously challenged by congestion at the ports and uplifts at customs clearance. Alternative options aimed at minimizing the effects of these problems are being evaluated. Research and development Continuous improvement and innovation of the product portfolio are essential in order to maintain our premier position. The Research and Development team continue to play a critical role in ensuring that new products are FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC annual report 2010 Chairman’s statement introduced. To improve the work of the Research and Development Department, a new Research Centre has been built within the company’s premises. The Centre was officially commissioned by the Director General, National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP), Dr. Umar Buba Bindir on August 27, 2010. The new Centre facilitates, amongst others, sensory tests with consumers, pilot testing of new products and student internships on research projects. It is hoped that the centre can work closely with Nigerian universities to further build up knowledge database and support. The Research and Development Centre also works in collaboration with the Research and Development Centres of FrieslandCampina companies in The Netherlands. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) In the year under review, the Company’s CSR initiatives continued to enhance the lives of the Nigerian people. New solar powered water projects were constructed in Enugu, Nasarawa, Akwa-Ibom and Osun States, while three existing projects were converted to solar. This brought the water projects to a total of twenty-nine boreholes spread across the six geo-political zones of Nigeria. The Company’s initiatives in the education sector continue to support government efforts. An example of these is the ICT centre at Ogba Junior Grammar School, which was commissioned by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State during the year. The project has indeed proved invaluable to the students as they continue to learn the fundamentals of computer education. The Lagos State Ministry of Education’s “Support our Schools” Initiative, presented the company with an award of recognition for its contributions to the development of education in the state. Three new charity homes namely Chims Motherless Babies Home, Aba; Ufon Abasi Orphanage, Akwa- Ibom and Adonai Orphanage Home & Widow Centre, Kaduna were added to the list of charity homes that the company supports, bringing the total to 25. The children and staff are given the company’s products on a regular basis while cash donations are made for their upkeep. A total of =N=1.8million was donated to 6 institutions offering Food Science and Technology to facilitate the development of research. Each institution received a sum of =N=250,000 while the WAMCO Award of =N=50,000 went to the best graduating student from each of the departments. The Olu Akinkugbe Child Nutrition Centre was renamed Olu Akinkugbe WAMCO Nutrition Centre. The new name was adopted because it was felt that as WAMCO has products that cater for all lifestages, that fact should be reflected FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC annual report 2010 in the name. The company has also set up a new foundation, Isaac Ade Agoye Foundation (IAAF), in honour of Rev. Isaac Ade Agoye, Corporate Affairs Director and Deputy Managing Director, who retired from the company at the end of 2010 after 27 years of meritorious service. The foundation will focus on three main areas - education (providing scholarships for deserving students), poverty alleviation (empowering women in key vocational activities) and improving supply of basic amenities, such as, provision of water in rural communities in certain parts of the country. Human resources The excellent results achieved during the year would not have been possible without the unalloyed commitment, loyalty and professionalism of our employees. The development of relevant competencies and talents remains our priority. A total of 536 members of staff (out of 870) attended at least one training programme, either in Nigeria or overseas, during the year. An attitude of growing together, embracing challenge and being accountable is being promoted. Some of the best and brightest minds in the industry were also attracted and retained. The Company’s commitment to staff motivation, a competitive reward system and a harmonious working environment have helped in making staff turnover one of the lowest in the industry. To further maximize employees’ full potential and increase their level of productivity, the company introduced a performance management system, which aims to manage staff performance towards higher levels. Company secretary Mrs. Bolade Obat-Olowu was appointed Company Secretary with effect from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on the 29th of April 2010. Board changes Mr. Theodorus Spierings resigned as a director of the Company after the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on the 29th of April 2010. Upon the resignation of Mr. Theodorus Spierings, Mr. Jacobs Moyo Ajekigbe, OFR was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. Rev. Isaac Adefemi Agoye resigned his appointment as an Executive Director following his retirement from the Company after 27 years of meritorious service. He was subsequently appointed as a non- Executive Director with effect from 1 January 2011. Following the resignation of Rev. Agoye, Mr. Peter Eshikena 9 Chairman’s statement was appointed an Executive Director of the Company with effect from 1 January 2011. Please join me in welcoming him to the Board. Mallam Ahmed Dasuki, Ms. Evelyn Oputu and Mr. Louis Mbanefo retire by rotation and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Shareholders’ visit At the instance of Management, some selected shareholders toured the Company’s factory premises in Ogba, Ikeja in March 2010. The visit afforded them the opportunity of having a better understanding of the Company’s activities. Feedback following the interactive session between Management, staff and the shareholders showed that this was a highly successful event and beneficial to both the shareholders and the Company. Outlook 2011 The price of raw materials will continue to rise steeply, with increased demand being the key driver. Since there is a limit to increase in products’ prices which the market can tolerate without volume loss, the bulk of the raw materials’ price increases and other inflationary effects will have to be compensated for by efficiency gains and other cost savings. In these challenging market conditions, the Company will continue to do what is required to sustain its achievements by delivering high quality products in the most cost effective and efficient way possible to a Nigerian market that sees the benefits and values in our brands and in the goodness of milk.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Statements of Accounting Standards applicable in Nigeria and the manner required by the Companies and Allied Matters Act of Nigeria, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC (“the Company”) as at 31 December 2010, and of the Company’s financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Statements of Accounting Standards applicable in Nigeria and in the manner required by the Companies and Allied Matters Act of Nigeria. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements Compliance with the requirements of schedule 6 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act of Nigeria In our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the Company, so far as appears from our examination of those books and the Company’s balance sheet and profit and loss account are in agreement with the books of accounts. 2 March 2011 Lagos, Nigeria KPMG Professional Service, a Partnership established under Adekunle A.

Adeyemi Adewale K. Ajayi Chibuzor N. Anyanechi Goodluck C. Obi Ayodele Joseph O. Tegbe Statement of accounting policies for the year ended 31 December 2010 The following are the significant accounting policies which have been adopted: a. Basis of accounting The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost convention modified to include the revaluation of land, buildings and plant and machinery. b. Turnover Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods delivered to third parties during the year, net of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. c. Fixed assets Leasehold land and building and plant and machinery are stated at valuation less accumulated depreciation. All additions to these asset categories after the date of the latest valuation are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Other fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs relating to fixed assets under construction or in process of installation are disclosed as capital work-in-progress and are not depreciated. The cost attributable to each asset is transferred to the relevant category immediately the asset is available for use and depreciated accordingly. d. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis to write off the cost/valuation of fixed assets less estimated residual value over their expected useful lives at the following annual rates: % Leasehold land over the life of the lease Buildings - 4 Plant and machinery - 10 Furniture, fittings and tools - 20 Motor vehicles - 20 Market kiosks - 20 Gains or losses on disposal of fixed assets are included in the profit and loss account. e. Debtors Debtors are stated after the deduction of specific allowances for debts considered to be doubtful of collection. f. Taxation Income and education taxes payable are provided on taxable profits at the current statutory rate. g. Deferred taxation Deferred taxation is provided by the liability method at the ruling tax rate on the timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounting purposes and their treatment for taxation. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the amount will be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. h. Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value after making allowance for obsolete or slow moving or defective items. Net realizable value is based on estimated normal selling price less further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Foreign currencies Transactions arising in foreign currencies are recorded in Naira at the approximate rates of exchange ruling at the time they arise. Monetary assets and liabilities existing in foreign currencies are converted to Naira at the exchange rate applicable at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising therefrom are included in the profit and loss account. j. Retirement benefit and gratuity scheme i. Pension fund scheme: The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all its Nigerian staff in accordance with the Pension Reform Act 2004. Contribution to the scheme is based on 7.5% of the relevant emoluments by employee, while employer contributes 10.5%. Staff contributions to the scheme are funded through payroll deductions while the Company’s contributions are charged to the profit and loss account. ii. Gratuity scheme: The Company also operates a staff gratuity scheme, which is accrued over the service lives of the employees and fully recorded as a liability in the financial statements. Benefits payable to employees on retirement or resignation are accrued for under an annualized defined benefit plan. iii. Other long term employee benefits: These are Long Service Awards payable upon completion of certain years in service and accrued over the service lives of the employees. The provision is based on independent actuarial valuation performed on the projected unit credit basis. k. Provisions Provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation whether legal or constructive, as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. l. Impairment The carrying value of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indications exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement except where they relate to previously revalued assets, in which case, they are recognized directly against any revaluation surplus to the extent that an amount is included in the revaluation reserve account for the related assets, with any remaining loss recognized in the income statement. m. Unclaimed dividend 28 FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC annual report 2010 Significant accounting policies for the year ended 31 December 2010 (Cont’d) Dividends which remain unclaimed for a period exceeding twelve (12) years from the date of declaration and which are no longer actionable by shareholders in accordance with Section 385 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act of Nigeria are written back to retained earnings. n. Segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments. Segment information is required to be presented in respect of the Company’s business and geographical segments, where applicable. The Company’s primary format for segment reporting is based on geographical segments. The geographical segments are determined by management based on the Company’s internal reporting structure. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. o. Revaluation reserve Surplus/(deficits) arising on revaluation of individual fixed assets are (credited)/debited to a non-distributable reserve known as revaluation reserve. Revaluation deficits in excess of the amount of prior revaluation surpluses on the same asset are charged to the profit and loss account. On disposal of previously revalued fixed assets, an amount equal to the revaluation surplus attributable to that asset is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
