    company statements · ZWL units (printed “ZWL (inflation adjusted)”)
    • Inflation-adjusted total liabilities at 30 September 2023 are printed 33 926 012 362, 50 000 000 less than the printed deferred income tax liabilities (6 942 730 592) plus the printed current-liabilities subtotal (27 033 281 770) = 33 976 012 362; total equity and liabilities (99 569 735 581) equals total assets and total equity plus 33 976 012 362. Checked on the page image (p1); kept as printed (validation fails bs.total_liabilities and bs.total_equity_and_liabilities for 2023).
    • Hyperinflation (IAS 29) restatement using CPI to January 2023 and TCPL-based estimates thereafter (note 4, p2); closing rate USD 1: ZWL 5 466.7466 (p2). Cash and cash equivalents in the cash-flow statement are net of bank overdrafts (2 689 649 900 - 3 926 560 620 = (1 236 910 720)). EPS printed in ZWL cents. Finance cost and finance income are added back within cash generated from operations and then shown paid/received below it.
    • The cash-flow statement adds 'Effects of inflation on cash and cash equivalents' (2 971 333 250; 2022: (6 978 879 705)) between opening and closing cash; it is recorded as an issuer concept, so the validation fails cf.closing_cash (both years) by exactly that line. The operating profit check is not assessable because the summary prints no operating expense lines.
    • Stale period: the document holds FY2023 results (year ended 30 September 2023) although the queue listed it as FY2025; the issuer's later results are not in this document.
    • No auditor's report on the summary is printed. Note 5 'Auditor's Statement' (p2): 'These abridged financial statements derived from the audited inflation adjusted financial statements of CAFCA Limited for the financial year ended 30 September 2023, should be read together with the complete set of audited inflation adjusted financial statements ... which have been audited by Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants (Zimbabwe) and the auditor's report signed by Edmore Chimhowa, Registered Public Auditor 0470.
