- Printed 'Lafarge Africa Plc', 'Company registration number RC 1858' (p3) and 'Lafarge Africa PLC (Lafarge Africa) was incorporated in Nigeria on 24 February 1959 ... formerly known as Lafarge Cement WAPCO Nigeria PLC' (p27); the directory name is 'HBM NIGERIA PLC' (NGX HBMNG, ISIN NGWAPCO00002), the same company renamed.
- Profit attributable to owners is printed as 100,145,282 for 2024 against profit for the year of 100,145,281 (p22); kept as printed. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year in the statement of cash flows (384,974,560; 2024: 235,230,231, note 22.2) differ from the statement of financial position (388,067,308; 2024: 237,858,537, note 22): note 22.2 (p84) defines cash in the statement of cash flows as short-term deposits and cash at bank only, and note 22.1 shows restricted cash (3,205,328; 2024: 2,628,306) held within the balance-sheet line. The two cash checks therefore fail as printed. Interest received is within investing and interest paid within financing activities (p26).
