- Cash-flow statement (p127): the 2023 column of the lines after 'Cash generated from operations' (finance costs on lease liability (80 463), cash settled share based payments (1 002 743), interest received 1 451 367, interest paid (1 724 514), income tax paid (2 203 031)) repeats the 2024 figures as printed; the printed 2023 total of net cash flows from operating activities agrees with them. The page heading reads 'FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023' (the continuation page reads 2024). Kept as printed.
- No total other comprehensive income line is printed: the two OCI subtotals (to be reclassified; not to be reclassified) lead directly to total comprehensive income (p125).
- The 2023 comparatives were previously reported in ZWL and are restated by conversion to the new USD presentation currency ('RESTATED*', note 2.1.3; pp123-128). The balance sheet also prints a 1 January 2023 column.
- Earnings per share printed in cents ((1.43); 2023: 3.47), basic and diluted identical; stored in USD (÷100) with the printed figure and unit kept.
- The text layer of p122 (auditor's signature page) also holds a copy of the previous page's text that is not printed on p122; no figures are affected.
