- 'Emphasis of matter – comparative information: We draw attention to notes 9 and 10 ... which indicates that the comparative information presented as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 has been restated. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.' (PDF p62). Other matter: the 2024 statements were audited by another auditor (unmodified opinion, 28 March 2025); KPMG audited only the restatement adjustments (PDF p63). The statement-of-financial-position comparative columns are not headed 'restated' on the face; the income-statement comparative columns are headed '(*reclassified)' for a change to an expense-by-nature presentation (note 2(e), p69).
- Change of year end: the current period is the 12 months ended 31 December 2025; the comparative is the 18 months ended 31 December 2024 (1 July 2023 to 31 December 2024; report of the directors p66 and statement of changes in equity p72).
- Unlabelled subtotals (non-current assets, current assets, non-current liabilities, current liabilities, OCI items not reclassified) are read from four-figure rows at positions 2-3. Non-current assets held for sale are printed below the current-assets subtotal. No total liabilities line is printed. Operating, investing and financing totals are printed on the section heading lines above their components; dividends paid sit in operating activities.
- Basic and diluted EPS printed as one line in cents (306.1; 2024: 315.1, note 27.1, p70), stored in N$ with the printed figure and unit kept (minor_unit). Company columns not transcribed.

- Group cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2023 are printed 96 587 on the statement of financial position (p61, page image; the current-asset subtotal 1 556 904 adds up with it) but 946 587 as the cash at the end of the 2023 period and at the beginning of the 2024 period in the statement of cash flows (p65). Company figures show the same 850 000 gap (85 792 against 935 792). Kept as printed; the cf.*_equals_balance_sheet checks for 30 June 2023 fail on this.
- Change of year end: following the transaction between NBL, Distell Namibia and HEINEKEN on 17 April 2023, NBL became a subsidiary of HEINEKEN Beverages and changed its financial year-end to December (report of the directors, PDF p60). The current period is the 18 months ended 31 December 2024; the comparative is the 12 months ended 30 June 2023 (column headings pp61-65). The auditor's opinion refers to 'the year then ended' (p56).
- Unlabelled subtotals (non-current assets, current assets, non-current liabilities, current liabilities, OCI items not reclassified) are read from four-figure rows at positions 2-3. Non-current assets held for sale are printed below the current-assets subtotal. No total liabilities line is printed. Operating, investing and financing totals are printed on the section heading lines above their components; dividends paid sit in operating activities.
- The FY2025 report restates the 31 December 2024 comparatives (notes 9 and 10 there; KPMG emphasis of matter) and reclassifies the income statement by nature; this document's figures are the originally reported ones.
- Basic EPS printed in cents: continuing 315.1 (2023: 2 464.6), discontinued – (2023: 2.3), unlabelled total 315.1 (2023: 2 466.9); '* There is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per share.' (p64). Stored in N$ with the printed figure and unit kept (minor_unit cents). Company columns not transcribed.
