“The Directors are of the opinion that all known liabilities and commitments have been taken into account in the preparation of these financial statements,” the company said.

“There are contingent liabilities in respect of legal actions against the company amounting to N43,794,000 (there were no contingent laibilities in the previous year).

“Management has not made provision for this liability as consultations with the Company’s external solicitors has indicated that the likely outcome of the legal actions may favour the Company.”
