- 2024 statement of financial position (p71): total assets 22,193,531 against total equity and liabilities 22,193,530; 2024 closing cash in the cash-flow statement 3,102,042 against 3,102,043 on the statement of financial position. One-thousand differences kept as printed.
- Company cash-flow columns (p74) also print 3,098,573 at the end of 2025 while the company statement of financial position shows 3,224,925 (2025) and 3,098,572 (2024): the Company's cash-flow columns appear to be printed in the wrong order. Company columns are not transcribed.
- Group cash-flow statement (p74, confirmed on the page image): 'Insurance premium received' for Group 2025 is printed 15,131,733, the same as Group 2024, while the Company 2025 column prints 21,715,233. As printed, Group cash generated from operations is (6,238,975), net cash from operating activities (6,425,972), the net decrease (6,458,104) and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period (3,356,061), a negative figure that contradicts Group cash and cash equivalents of 3,229,045 on the statement of financial position (p71). The Group cash-flow figures are kept as printed but are not reliable.
- Auditor's report (pp24-30) is a scan; the 'Penalties' paragraph on p30 carries a typed text patch ('and circulars, SEC and NGX during the year ended 31 December 2025. Details of penalties paid are disclosed in note 33 ...') in a different typeface over the scanned page.
- The archived pypdfium2 text of the statement pages orders some cells differently from the printed columns (e.g. 'Insurance service result' reads 2,797,047 before 991,054); the pypdf text used here follows the printed order, and each transcribed row was compared with the page renders.
- The revaluation surplus on PPE is printed under 'Items reclassified to profit and loss' (p70). 'Other operating income' (500) is printed only in the Company 2025 column and is not transcribed. A row 'Net Increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equiv.' printing dashes precedes the opening cash line (p74) and is not transcribed.
- Earnings per share is printed as 'Basic 12.46' (2024: 12.13, p70) with no unit; it is not transcribed (see gaps).
