of the goodwill of Marigat.

has no representatives on Kabaratonyo's board of directors. However, Kabaratonyo
manufactures a key component used by Baringo. Baringo purchases 75% of Kabaratonyo's
production. Both companies work closely together, with Baringo providing technical
information and certain managerial services to Kabaratonyo.
iv. During the year, Baringo purchased goods from Kabaratonyo for N$105 million.

purchased from Kabaratonyo remained in the inventory of Baringo at 31 March 2023.
v. During the year, Baringo sold N$5 million worth of goods to Marigat each month. Baringo

Baringo. The equipment had a five-year useful economic life remaining at the date of
transfer.

acquisition profits. On the same date, Kabaratonyo declared and paid a dividend of N$10
million. Baringo recorded its share of both dividends as 'dividends received'.

accrue evenly throughout the year unless otherwise instructed. No new equity capital was
issued by any group company during the year.
