I am pleased to report that Tanzania Breweries Limited was voted The Most Respected Company in Tanzania from an East African survey undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Nation Newspapers. Tanzania Breweries has received this accolade for four consecutive years and is confident it will maintain this position. In an award ceremony organized by the Association of Tanzania Employers, TBL was named the overall winner in the Category of Human Resources in this year’s Employer of the Year Award ceremonies, first prize in the Staff Training and Development, Occupational Safety and Health and Large Enterprise category and second prize for the fight against HIV/AIDS, Corporate Social Responsibility and Employees Relations. During the year under review TBL was second runner-up for the President’s Manufacturer of the Year Award. These important awards acknowledge the company’s performance, reputation and good governance. These achievements were attained because of the commitment, dedication and hard work by the management and staff of the TBL Group. I would like to thank them all for their achievements.
In order for TBL to grow, the country’s infrastructure must be continuously improved and upgraded. Transport, water and electricity supplies require sustained improvement and upgrading. TBL shall co-operate with Government in pursuit of this objective.
I remain optimistic about what the future holds, not only for Tanzania Breweries Limited but also for the national economy. I am confident that TBL will continue its proud record of positive growth in earnings and dividends and its contribution to the economy of Tanzania.
I would like to thank the directors of TBL for their wise counsel and dedicated service during the past year. The good performance of the Group in the year under review is a testimony to their service. I look forward to their exemplary contribution to TBL as well as towards the development of Tanzania in the period ahead of us.
Cleopa David MsuyaChairman
The year under review was again most challenging for Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) due to higher fuel prices, a significant rise in key raw material input costs, and transport constraints caused by inadequate infrastructure. Nevertheless in this challenging environment, performance exceeded expectations, with the Group volume output rising by 7.8% to 2.7 million hectoliters which translated into an operating profit of Tshs 113 billion, a 16% improvement over last year. TBL maintained its proud record of annual growth in profit since the Company was listed on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange in 1998. The earnings per share increased from Tshs 209.1 per share to Tshs 242.2 per share, an improvement of 16% over the last year. Dividend per share for the year under review remained consistent with that of the prior year at Tshs 200.
TBL continues to make a significant contribution to Government revenues by way of corporate, excise and value added taxes. Payments to Government increased from Tshs147.5 billion to Tshs173.3 billion, an increase of 17.5% over last year.
In the year under review the Group continued to invest in the future of the business through appropriate investment in capital equipment. More than Tshs 58 billion was invested in fixed assets and a further Tshs 115 billion is planned for the coming year, which includes the construction of a new brewery in Mbeya and the installation of a state of the art packaging line at the Dar es Salaam brewery.These achievements are a testimony to the successful joint venture which was consumated when SABMiller, one of the largest brewers in the world, the Tanzanian Government and other shareholders invested in TBL. The joint venture has since benefited all shareholders, the national economy and the consumers of TBL products, as well as the committed and skilled labour force which makes TBL what it is.
Looking ahead, TBL is committed to focus on the following strategic objectives:
1) To produce and provide world class quality products and ser-vice to Tanzanian consumer at affordable prices;
2) To expand the use of locally produced raw materials which are competitive in price and quality; in this context and against the background of the increase of world commodity prices, TBL will continue to promote more barley production for use in our breweries;
3) To continue with the current efforts to increase export sales of our products to neighbouring countries.
A successful implementation of this strategic programme by TBL will contribute to Tanzania’s economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction, which are national policy objectives which we fully support.
As a corporate citizen of the nation, TBL has continued to make contributions to community projects and the emphasis in the past year has been on educational, environmental and health projects. Moving forward, TBL will prioritize sectors that will enhance the TBL image in the unfolding Tanzanian landscape, keeping national policy objectives in mind.

Kama raia mwema, “Corporate Citizen”, Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania imeendeleza juhudi zake katika kuchangia kuleta maelendeleo kwa Jamii kwa kuwekeza kwenye nyanja za Elimu, Mazingira na Afya kwa jamii. Bila ya kusahau mahitaji na matakwa ya nchi, ni nia ya Kampuni kuendelea kuwekeza kwenye nyanja muhimu ambazo zitaweza kuinua sura na mwelekeo wa kampuni katika hali hii ya ushindani kibiashara.
Ninayo furaha kuwa Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania kwa mwaka wa nne mfululizo iliweza kupata Tuzo ya Kampuni inayoheshimika zaidi nchini Tanzania, tuzo itolewayo na PricewaterhouseCoopers na Kampuni ya Magazeti “Nation Newspapers” kutokana na tafiti mbali mbali za m akampuni yaliyoko katika Afrika ya Mashariki. Pamoja na tuzo hii, Kampuni ya Bia ilichaguliwa kuwa mshindi mkuu katika nafasi ya Rasili mali Watu kuwa Mwajiri Bora wa Mwaka , katika ngazi ya Mafunzo na Maendeleo ya Wafanyakazi, tuzo ambayo inatolewa na Chama cha Waajiri Tanzania “(Association of Tanzania Employers)”. Pamoja na kuongoza kwenye tuzo hizo, Kampuni pia iliweza kushika nafasi za pili kwenye Tuzo ya Raisi ya Mzalishaji Bora itolewayo na Confederation of Tanzania Industries, na tuzo nyingine ya Huduma kwa Jamii, Mwajiri mwenye Uhusiano mzuri na Mpambanaji na Vita dhidi ya UKIMWI itolewayo na Association of Tanzania Employers. Mafanikio haya ni ishara kubwa na yakutia moyo inayoonyesha jinsi Kampuni inavyojituma katika ufanisi wa makini katika shughuli zake za siku hadi siku mpaka kukubalika na kutambuliwa na wengi kwa sifa za kuheshimika nchini. Haya ni matokeo mema ya kutokana na kujitolea, kujituma na kufanya kazi kwa bidii, juhudi, mbinu, maarifa na ushirikiano mkubwa kwa Uongozi na Wafanyakazi kwa ujumla. Ningependa kuwashukuru wote kwa mafanikio hayo.
Ili Kampuni iendelee kukua hainabudi miundo mbinu ya nchi iendelee kuboreshwa na ni muhimu nishati ya umeme, maji na usafiri uwe wakuaminika na kuboreshwa kila wakati. Kampuni ya TBL itashirikiana na serikali kufanikisha nia hii.
Nina imani kubwa na hali nzuri na ya kuridhisha itakuwepo hapo usoni sio tu kwa Kampuni ya Bia, bali kwa nchi yetu ya Tanzania kiuchumi. Nina imani kabisa kwamba Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania itaendeleza rekodi yake ya mafanikio na ufanisi bora kiuzalishaji, kimasoko na kifedha ili kuwezesha kuendelea kukua kwa mapato yake na gawio kwa wanahisa, na pia kuongeza mchango wake katika uchumi wa nchi yetu ya Tanzania.
Ningependa kuwashukuru Wakurugenzi wa Bodi ya Kampuni kwa ushauri wao wa busara na kujitolea kutoa huduma katika kipindi chote cha mwaka uliopita. Utendaji huu mzuri ni dhihirisho la juhudi zao. Ni matumaini yangu kuwa, wataendelea na juhudi hizi ili kuiwezesha Kampuni izidi kupata mafanikio zaidi mwakani na kuiletea Tanzania mafanikio makubwa.
Cleopa David MsuyaMwenyekiti wa Bodi
Mwaka wa fedha ulioishia Machi 2008 ulikuwa ni mwaka mwingine tena uliokuwa na changamoto kubwa kwa kampuni ya Bia Tanzania (TBL) kwa sababu ya ongezeko kubwa la bei ya mafuta, kupanda kwa bei za mali ghafi na pia matatizo ya uchukuzi yaliyosababishwa na mapungufu katika miundombinu.
Pamoja na changamoto hizo, matokeo ya biashara kwa mwaka 2008 yalikuwa mazuri na yalivuka matarajio kwani kiasi cha bidhaa zilizozalishwa na TBL pamoja na Kampuni zake tanzu kilipanda kwa 7.8% hadi kufikia hektolita million 2.7 ambazo zilizalisha faida (kabla ya kulipa kodi na riba) ya Shillingi billion 113, ikiwa ni ongezeko la asilimia 16 zaidi ya mwaka uliopita. Kwa mara nyingine tena Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania imeendeleza rekodi yake nzuri ya ongezeko la faida kwa mwaka tangu Kampuni ilipoorodheshwa katika Soko la Hisa la Dar es Salaam mwaka 1998. Mapato kwa hisa yaliongezeka kutoka Shillingi 209.10 hadi kufikia Shillingi 242.2 kwa hisa, ikiwa ni ongezeko la asilimia 16 zaidi ya mwaka jana. Gawio kwa kila hisa lilibaki kama mwaka uliopita yaani Shillingi 200.
TBL inaendelea kutoa mchango mkubwa katika mapato ya Serikali kwa kulipa kodi ya mapato ya shirika, ushuru na kodi ya ongezeko la thamani. Malipo ya kodi yaliyofanywa Serikalini yameongezeka kutoka Shillingi bilioni 147.5 hadi kufikia Shillingi bilioni 173.3 ikiwa ni ongezeko la asilimia 17.5 zaidi ya mwaka jana.
Katika mwaka huu wa mapitio, TBL na kampuni zake tanzu imeendelea kuwekeza katika mustakabali wa biashara kwa kuwekeza kwenye mitambo muhimu inayotumika kuzalishia mali. Zaidi ya shillingi billioni 58 ziliwekezwa katika rasilimali za kudumu, na mwaka huu zaidi ya shillingi billioni 115 zimetengwa kwa matumizi ya ujenzi wa kiwanda kipya cha bia huko Mbeya na ununuzi na ufungaji wa mtambo mpya wa kisasa wa kujaza bia kwenye chupa kwenye Kiwanda cha Dar es Salaam.
Mafanikio haya ni ishara kamili ya juhudi zitokanazo na makubaliano ya kuingia ubia kati ya SABMiller, moja ya makampuni makubwa ya bia ulimwenguni, Serikali ya Tanzania pamoja na wadau wengine waliowekeza kwenye Kampuni hii. Makubaliano haya ya kibiashara yameweza kunufaisha pande zote zilizoshiriki, kuchangia kukua kwa uchumi mzima wa nchi yetu, wateja wetu wanaoburudishwa na bidhaa zetu na wavuja jasho ambao ndio wanaifanya Kampuni yetu kuwa kama ilivyo kwa kujipatia sifa mbali mbali zinazostahili.
Kwa mtazamo wa kipindi kijacho mbele yetu, Kampuni yetu imejizatiti kutekeleza malengo yafuatayo:
1) Kuzalisha na kusambaza bidhaa zilizo bora na zenye hadhi ya kimataifa pamoja na kutoa huduma kwa wateja wake kwa hali ya juu na gharama zinazokubalika
2) Kuongeza utumiaji wa mali ghafi zizalishwazo humu nchini, ambazo bei zake ni ahueni ukilinganisha na upatikanaji wa mali ghafi hizi ulimwenguni ambapo bei hizi hupanda siku hadi siku kutokana na hali halisi na mienendo ya bei za nafaka ulimwenguni kwa sasa. Kwa mantiki hii, Kampuni itajitahidi kuongeza ulimaji wa shayiri hapa nchini ili kuwezesha uzalishaji wa kimea cha kutosheleza mahitaji ya viwanda vyetu vyote.
3) Kuendeleza juhudi na mbinu za kuuza bidhaa zetu nje ya nchi hasa nchi jirani.
Kampuni yetu kuweza kutekeleza malengo na mbinu hizi kutailetea nchi yetu mafanikio makubwa hasa katika ukuaji wa uchumi wa nchi yetu, kuongeza upatikanaji wa ajira na kupunguza madhara yatokanayo na umasikini kwa Watanzania, ambayo ni baadhi ya malengo makuu ya nchi yetu ambayo Kampuni inaunga mkono moja kwa moja.

Tanzania Breweries Limited continued to be committed to the highest standards of corporate governance set out in the Turnbull Report on Internal Control and appropriate best practice that has evolved from guidance issued by leading institutional investor bodies. The Board strives to provide the right leadership, strategic oversight, and control environment to produce and sustain delivery of value to all of the company’s shareholders. The Board applies integrity, principles of good governance and accountability throughout its activities and each director brings independence of character and judgment to the role. All of the members of the board are individually and collectively aware of their responsibilities to the company shareholders.
The Board of DirectorsThe Board consists of Non-Executive Directors and the Managing Director and meets quarterly and has a formal schedule of matters referred to it for decision but otherwise delegates specific responsibilities to the Operating Board and Group Audit Committee. It retains, however, overall responsibility for the activities of the Company, including the implementation of corporate strategy.
Group Audit CommitteeThe Group Audit Committee monitors and reviews the effectiveness of the internal control and the internal financial control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Group Audit Committee is a sub-committee of the Board and comprises of three Non-Executive Members. It is regulated by specific terms of reference and meets at least three times during the year. The Committee meets the external auditors and the internal audit departments to review inter alias, accounting, auditing, internal control, financial reporting matters and the published financial statements of the Company. The external auditors have unrestricted access, at all times, to the Group and subsidiary audit committees. Mr. R. O. S. Mollel has chaired the Group Audit Committee during the year.
The overall objective of the Group Audit Committee is to ensure that the Operating Board has created and maintained an effective control environment within the organization and that management demonstrates and stimulates the necessary respect of the internal control structure amongst all parties.
The Group Audit Committee members, as well as the internal and external auditors, have unlimited access to whatever information they require in performing their responsibilities.
The Company also has an Audit Sub-Committee which meets quartely and reviews the effectiveness of risk management processes; the appropriateness and adequacy of the systems of internal financial and operational controls. The Audit Sub Committee also tracks timeliness of management implementation of prior audit recommendations, and is chaired by the Group Internal Audit Manager.
Remuneration CommitteeWe are in the final stages of forming the remuneration committee that will be responsible for the assessment and approval of a broad remuneration strategy for the Company, including short term incentives for executive and senior management. The remuneration strategy is aimed at rewarding employees at market related levels and in accordance with their contribution to the Company’s operating and financial performance in terms of basic pay as well as short-term incentives.
Financial Statements and Annual ReportThe responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements is that of the Company’s Board of Directors. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, consistently applied, and in accordance with the requirements of the Tanzania Companies Act 2002 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Reasonable judgment and estimates support the information contained in the financial statements.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the integrity, objectivity, and reliability of the Annual Report. The Board of Directors believe that the financial statements fairly represent the financial position of the Company and the Group as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended.
External Auditors and our relationship with themThe external auditors are responsible for the independent review and the expression of an opinion on the truth and fairness of the financial statements.
During the year, PricewaterhouseCoopers continued as the auditors of the Company. The Group Audit Committee has kept under review its policy on, and the independence and objectivity of, the external auditors. The committee examines the processes for and the nature and quantum of non-audit projects awarded to the auditors for compliance with the committee’s policies. The committee is satisfied that the auditors have established internal policies and procedures to ensure services are not provided to the Company and its subsidiaries that would impair auditor independence. As a reassurance, the auditors are required to provide summary details highlighting relationships which the auditors consider might have a bearing on their independence and objectivity as well as written confirmation of independence and an assurance that all requirements for partner rotation have been met. The Group Audit Committee is satisfied that, for the period under review, the auditors have remained independent and objective in their assessments.
Corporate Governance

Relationship with ShareholdersDuring the year the Company held the statutory Annual General Meeting (AGM). A mandatory 21 days notice was issued together with annual reports detailing the Company’s operations under the year of review. The Company paid considerable care and attention to ensure that the AGM was once again an informative, productive and positive experience for all involved. The Company considers the AGM a key event in disseminating information to shareholders which gives them the opportunity to ask questions to the Board.
Prior to the meeting all members duly filed the registration forms including those who had proxy forms. The financial results were communicated directly to the various stakeholders including the regulator via the newspapers.

Tanzania Breweries Group (TBL) has delivered another excellent performance for the twelve months ended 31 March 2008.
Sales revenue grew by 22% versus the same period last year, and operating profit by over 16%. The growth in sales was mainly due to organic growth in lager beer.
Despite a slow start during the first quarter of the financial year as a result of the lateness of the long rains and a slight market share loss, lager beer volumes grew by a healthy 7.4% during the year with the South and North West Regions performing particularly well.
In the past year, numerous innovations to our brand portfolio were introduced. In April 2007, Eagle Lager, a sorghum-based beer, was introduced in the North East part of the country. In September 2007, Kilimanjaro Premium Lager was made available in a long 500ml neck bottle. Brand Tusker followed in December 2007. During the last quarter of 2007 the more modern 330ml can was introduced on all brands.
During the past financial year, some of the key marketing activities included the ongoing support for the following activities: the Safari National Pool Competition, Kili Basketball on a national basis, and the Kilimanjaro Marathon and Music Awards. The Tusker Challenge Cup continued as an event on the football calendar, and the year ended with the announcement of the Safari Lager sponsored Taifa Cup tournament. In addition to these sponsorships, regional market activation programmes were implemented, the biggest one being the “Ndovu Special Millionaire” crown underliner promotion that rewarded consumers on a daily basis for 60 days.
A number of important distribution optimization initiatives were implemented during the year. New depots were opened in Dar es Salaam and Musoma, a modern interlocking crate was introduced, and mechanized loading was increased through the introduction of additional fork-lift trucks and a more appropriately designed distribution fleet. The Company revised its internal measurement and control of its delivery service to customers through the introduction of a distribution information systems process.
TBL is determined to ensure its distribution network reaches all consumers, hence:
• A central planning department was set up that improved the sales, demand and production planning ability of the company.
• The company has reorganized its national sales team to ensure better coverage and service to the retail trade, as it strives to improve its channel and trade marketing capabilities.
Wine and spirits recorded excellent volume growth of 24% compared to last year. The implementation of tax stamps by the TRA continue to assist but the installation of additional production capability also had a positive effect on trading results. Tanzania Distilleries’ market share continues to improve.
The Company has implemented SABMiller’s sustainable development framework and has made good progress in all areas, focusing primarily on the reduction in water and energy usage.
Working with the community is another important contribution that TBL has made in Tanzania. A total of Tshs 353 million was spent on various community projects, with education projects receiving a 61% share, environmental projects 12%, water and welfare 17%, and health 10%.
The Company’s financial performance was hampered by the depreciation of the Tanzanian shilling, mainly against the euro, resulting in increased pressure on the cost of imported goods and raw materials. The significant rise in fuel prices and the interrupted electricity and water supply also had a negative impact on financial performance. During the year additional funds had to be allocated to people retention and plant maintenance.
The Group’s cash generated from operating activities exceeded Tshs 117 billion of which Tshs 34 billion was utilised to pay corporate tax and interest, Tshs 58 billion funded capital expenditure while the remaining balance went towards funding most of the Tshs 60 billion paid as dividends to shareholders. The Company plans a further Tshs 115 billion capital expenditure programme in Financial Year 2008/9 which includes the construction of a new brewery in Mbeya and the installation of a state of the art packaging line in Dar es Salaam.
Total production volumes for the year were 9% higher than the previous year with all breweries reflecting an improved performance in efficiencies and product quality. The Company’s breweries continue to participate in SABMiller’s ‘Manufacturing Way’ programme and will be implementing revised processes and initiatives that will assist in improvement in TBL’s manufacturing area.
The Company has set in motion a programme to intensify barley growing in the country, with the intention of producing more malt and further improve barley growers’ farming methods.
TBL firmly believes that people make the difference, and the Company continues to invest in the development of its staff. During the past year, the Company spent 4.5% of pay costs on training and development.
The Company improved its capability in the Training and Development field with the introduction of full time local Tanzanian Competency Acquisition assessors in the technical department. This is part of the continuous process of training and empowering TBL staff through training at a SABMiller training centre in South Africa. Two of the three breweries and the malting plant are manned by Tanzanians who have been through SABMiller stringent training programs.
The Company remains committed to the fight against HIV/AIDS, continuing with HIV/AIDS education and awareness campaigns aimed at equipping employees with life skills that will influence behav-

iour change and prevent infection. The treatment of opportunistic infections and Sexual Transmitted Diseases (STDs) is provided at all TBL medical facilities.
A major area of focus moving forward will be on improving the Company’s capability and ability to improve its total service to retailers. This will be done through specific interventions in the sales and marketing departments, as TBL strives to regain market share. The Company is looking at outsourcing as many of these activities as possible to Tanzanians.
A key factor affecting the Company’s future performance will be the Government Authorities’ ability to upgrade and enhance infrastructure relating to power, communication, water and transport.
To enable the Company to finance its expansion programme and working capital requirements for next year, the Company will need to increase its borrowings by Tshs 100 billion as well as revising the dividend payout ratio down to 70%, from the current level of 80%.
The executive management team remains optimistic that the Tanzania Breweries Group will maintain its proud record of achieving positive earnings growth for the year ahead.

Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania (TBL) kwa mara nyingine tena imefanya vizuri kiutendaji kwa kipindi cha miezi kumi na mbili cha mwaka ulioishia tarehe 31 Machi 2008.
Mapato kutokana na mauzo ya bidhaa zake yalikua kwa asilimia 22 ikilinganishwa na kipindi kama hicho mwaka jana, na faida ya uendeshaji ilikua kwa zaidi ya asilimia 16. Ongezeko katika mapato ya mauzo limetokana na ukuaji kwenye mauzo ya bia.
Ingawa kasi ya biashara katika kipindi cha miezi mitatu ya mwanzo ya mwaka wa fedha 2008 ilikuwa ya kusuasua kutokana na kuchelewa kwa mvua za masika na kupoteza kwa asilimia ndogo ya soko, mauzo ya bidhaa za bia zilizouzwa kwa mwaka mzima yalikua kwa asilimia 7.4, kanda ya Kusini na Kaskazini Magharibi zikiongoza kwa mauzo.
Kwa mwaka uliopita jitihada mbalimbali za ubunifu zilifanywa ili kuboresha baadhi ya bidhaa zetu. Mwezi April 2007 aina mpya ya bia ijulikanayo kama “Eagle Lager” inayotengenezwa kwa kutumia kiasi kikubwa cha mtama kama mali ghafi, ilizalishwa na kuuzwa kwenye Kanda ya Kaskazini Mashariki. Mwezi wa Septemba 2007 Kilimanjaro Premium Lager ilianza kuwekwa kwenye aina mpya ya chupa zenye shingo ndefu, ikifuatiwa na Tusker Lager mwezi December 2007. Kwenye kipindi cha miezi ya mwisho wa mwaka 2007, aina mpya na ya kisasa ya kopo lenye ujazo wa mililita 330 kwa aina zote za bia lilizunduliwa.
Kwenye kipindi cha mwaka jana aina na mbinu mbali mbali za muhimu zilibuniwa katika shughuli za masoko, zikijumlisha udhamini wa bia ya Safari kwenye mchezo wa mezani kitaifa “ Safari National Pool Competition”, mchezo wa kikapu kwenye hadhi ya kitaifa (Kili Basketball), mbio ndefu za nyika (Kilimanjaro Marathon) na tuzo ya muziki ya Kilimanjaro (Kilimanjaro Music Award). Kwa mwaka mwingine mfululizo mashindano ya mpira wa miguu ya Tusker (Tusker Challenge Cup) yalifanyika na dau lake kuboreshwa zaidi. Kwa kufunga mwaka, Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania ilikubali kudhamini mashindano ya Mpira wa Miguu ( Safari Lager Taifa Cup). Licha ya udhamini wa matukio haya, Kampuni bado iliweza kudhamini mashindano mbalimbali katika ngazi za mikoa, kubwa zaidi ikiwa na udhamini wa “Ndovu Special Millionaire”, ambapo washindanaji walikuwa wanapata zawadi mbalimbali kutokana na zawadi zilivyojiorodhesha na kufichwa ndani ya kizibo kila siku kwa muda wa siku sitini.
Tumekuwa tukiboresha shughuli za usambazaji wa bidhaa zetu ili kutuwezesha kuwafikia wateja wetu kila mahali na kwa ufanisi zaidi. Vituo vipya vya kuhifadhi na kuuzia idhaa zetu zilifunguliwa huko Ubungo Dar es Salaam na Musoma. Aidha aina mpya ya masanduku yanayojifunga ili kuhakikisha hayaanguki kwa urahisi yalitengenezwa na kuanza kutumika. Kurahisisha na kuboresha upakiaji na upakuaji wa bia kwenye magari nao ulienda sambamba na kununuliwa kwa mitambo mingi zaidi na kubadilisha magari ya uzambazaji yaweze kutumika kwa njia hii bila ya kutumia nguvu za ziada. Ili kuwezesha
wateja wetu waende sambamba na juhudi za Kampuni kuboresha utendaji wake wa kazi za kila siku, ilibidi kuanzisha utaratibu wa kupima utendaji na uendeshaji wa shughuli za kila siku kwa wateja wetu kwa kuanzisha mfumo wa kupeana taarifa za mara kwa mara “Distribution Information Systems Control” Mfumo wa kupanga shughuli za mauzo na uzalishaji “Central Planning Department” ulianzishwa ili kuboresha uwezo wa Kampuni wa kukisia mauzo kwa undani zaidi na kuwezesha uzalishaji ufanywe kukidhi mahitaji ya soko. Kampuni imebidi kuangalia na kuunda upya Idara ya Masoko ili kuhakikisha huduma kwa wateja wetu inafanyika kwa ubora zaidi na kuipa uwezo wakuwafikia wateja kwenye maeneo mengi na makubwa zaidi kuliko mwanzo.
Biashara ya mvinyo na pombe kali nayo ilionyesha mafanikio makubwa kwa kukua kwa asilimia 24 ukilinganisha mwaka jana.
Udhibiti unaofanywa na Mamlaka ya Kodi (TRA) kwa wakwepa kodi ambao unalazimu matumizi ya stempu umeendelea kusaidia ukuaji wa biashara yetu lakini pia kuongezeka kwa uwezo wa uzalishaji umesaidia kupata matokeo mazuri. Asilimia ya soko ya TDL inazidi kuongezeka.
Kampuni imetekeleza mwongozo uliopo katika Mpango mkubwa wa SABMiller wa Maendeleo endelevu “Sustainable Development Framework”. Maendeleo makubwa yamepatikana kwenye maeneo mbali mbali na mkazo mkubwa umewekwa kwenye kupunguza matumizi ya maji na nishati.
Kufanya kazi pamoja na jamii ni mchango mwingine ambao Kampuni inajivunia. Jumla ya Shilingi milioni 353 zimetumika katika miradi mbalimbali ya maelendeleo ya jamii, kama elimu iliyopata asilimia 61, Miradi ya Mazingira asilimia 12, Maji na Ustawi wa Jamii asilimia 17, na Afya asilimia 10.
Utendaji wa Kampuni kama unavyoripotiwa katika taarifa ya fedha umeathiriwa na kushuka kwa thamani ya Shilingi ya Kitanzania dhidi ya sarafu Euro. Hali hii ilizidi kuongeza mzigo wa gharama za bidhaa na malighafi zinazoagizwa kutoka nje ya nchi. Ongezeko maradufu la bei ya mafuta na uhaba wa upatikanaji wa umeme na maji pia vimechangia kwa kiasi kikubwa katika kuathiri matokeo ya biashara yetu katika mwaka ulioishia Machi 2008. Katika kipindi hiki, ilibidi pia fedha kutumika kuhifadhi watu kwenye kampuni na kwa ukarabati wa kiwanda.
Kampuni ya Bia Tanzania na kampuni yake tanzu iliweza kukusanya zaidi ya shillingi billioni 117 kutoka kwenye shughuli zake za kiutendaji. Kati ya hizo fedha zilizokusanywa, billioni 34 zilikuwa ni kulipia kodi ya mapato na riba, shillingi billioni 58 zilitumika kugharamia rasilimali za kudumu na kiasi kilichobaki cha shillingi billioni 60 zilitumika kulipa gawio kwa wanahisa. Kwa kipindi cha mwaka 2008/2009 Kampuni imepanga kutumia kiasi cha shillingi billioni 115 kwa kuwekeza kwenye miradi mbalimbali, mkubwa ukiwa ni ujenzi wa Kiwanda kipya cha Bia huko Mbeya na kufunga mtambo mpya na wa kisasa wa ujazaji bia kwenye Kiwanda cha Dar es Salaam.
Taarifa ya Mkurugenzi Mkuu
Tanzania Breweries Limited Page 17
Kuwezesha Kampuni kutekeleza mpango wake kabambe wa upanuzi na ujenzi wa viwanda na upatikanaji wa shayiri ya kutosha hapa nchini, Kampuni itabidi kuongeza matumizi yake ya kuwekeza kwenye rasimali za kudumu. Hii ina maana ya kuwa Kampuni itabidi kukopa fedha nyingi kwenye sehemu mbali mbali ili kupata kiasi cha shillingi billioni 100, na kushusha kiwango cha gawio kutoka asilimia 80% hadi 70% .
Pamoja na hayo Menejimenti ina imani na matumaini makubwa kwamba TBL na Kampuni yake tanzu ya TDL itaendelea na rekodi yake safi na ya kujivunia ya kupata matokeo mazuri ya mapato na ongezeko la gawio katika mwaka mpya wa fedha unaokuja.
Craig McDougallMkurugenzi Mkuu
Kiasi cha jumla cha bidhaa zilizozalishwa kwa mwaka uliopita uliongezeka kwa asilimia 9. Ongezeko hili lilichangia katika matumizi mazuri ya viwanda kiutendaji na uzalishaji wa bidhaa zenye ubora wa hali ya juu. Viwanda vyote vimeendelea kutekeleza na kutumia mwongozo ulioko kwenye Sera ya Uzalishaji ya SABMiller “ SAB-Miller Manufacturing Way”. Idara ya Ufundi itaongoza na kuwa mstari wa mbele kutekeleza mwongozo huu ili kuiwezesha Kampuni ya Bia kuongeza kwa kasi kubwa uzalishaji kwa hali ya juu na yakimataifa.
Kampuni imeweka mkakati wa kuongeza uzalishaji wa shayiri nchini, kwa lengo la kuzalisha kimea kwa wingi na pia kuendeleza njia bora za ulimaji wa shayiri.
Kampuni ya Bia inaamini na inajua kiundani kabisa kwamba watu ndio wanaoleta mafanikio na ufanisi mkubwa. Kwa kuelewa hivyo Kampuni ilitumia kiasi cha asilimia 4.5 ya gharama zake kwa kuwekeza kwenye maendeleo ya Wafanyakazi katika nyanja za elimu.
Kutilia mkazo zaidi katika sehemu hii nyeti Kampuni imeona umuhimu wa kumweka mtu atakayeshughulikia sera za kutafuta wafanyakazi wenye vipaji kwenye nyanja mbali mbali na kuhakikisha vipaji hivi vinatunzwa na kuvijali. Hii ni sehemu ya hatua zinazoendelea za kuwafundisha na kuwawezesha wafanyakazi wa TBL kupitia kituo cha mafunzo cha SABMILLER kilichopo Afrika Kusini. Matokeo ya juhudi hizi yamepelekea viwanda vyetu viwili kati ya vitatu vinavyotengeneza bia na kimea kuendeshwa na Watanzania ambao wamepitia kituo cha mafunzo cha SABMILLER.
Kampuni inaendelea na dhamira yake ya kupambana na maambukizi ya virusi vya UKIMWI na inaendelea na kampeni ya kutoa elimu na kuongeza uelewa wa ugonjwa wa UKIMWI ambayo itawapa wafanyakazi wetu mbinu zitakazowafanya wabadili tabia and kuzuia maambukia mapya ya UKIMWI miongoni mwa wafanyakazi. Matibabu ya magonjwa shirikishi na HIV/AIDS pamoja na yale ya zinaa huwa yanatolewa bure katika zahanati za Kampuni. Wafanyakazi walioathirika na UKIMWI ambao chembe chembe zao za kupambana na magonjwa zimepungua (CD4 count) wanapewa bure vidonge vya kurefusha maisha (ARV). Huduma hii hutolewa pia kwa familia zao.
Mkazo mkubwa katika siku za usoni ni utekelezaji wa mipango kabambe wakuboresha uwezo wetu wa kuwahudumia wateja na kuwawezesha waweze kufanya shughuli hii ya usambazaji na uuzaji wa bia uendeshwe kitalaamu na kwa ufanisi mkubwa. Hii itabidi kufanya marekebisho ya lazima na ya kiukweli kwenye Idara za Masoko na Mauzo ili kuiwezesha Kampuni kurudisha asilimia ya soko iliyopoteza kwa washindani wetu.
Ufanisi wa Kampuni kwa siku zijazo utategemea uwezo wa mamlaka husika katika kufanikisha na kuongeza ubora wa miundo mbinu inayoambatana na upatikanaji wa umeme, mawasiliano, maji na uchukuzi. Eneo lingine ambalo linaweza kuathiri kampuni ni kodi ya bidhaa, na kodi zingine mbalimbali pamoja na kuporomoka kwa uimara wa shilingi.

Notes to Financial StatementsFor the year ended 31 March 2008(All amounts in Tshs M)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Tanzania Breweries Limited is incorporated in Tanzania as a limited liability company, listed on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and is domiciled in Tanzania. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are disclosed in the Directors Report. The address of its registered office is:
Uhuru Street,Mchikichini, Ilala District,Plot 79, Block “AA”,P O Box 9013,Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
a. Basis of PreparationThese financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) under the historical cost convention. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.
Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that became effective during the year.
• IAS 1 Amendment, Capital Disclosures. The amendment to IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of the Company’s capital and how it manages capital.
• IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. IFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments, and does not have any impact on the classification and valuation of the Group’s financial instruments, or the disclosures relating to taxation, and trade and other payables. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk.
Both standards are applied retrospectively. IFRS 7 supersedes IAS 30 and the disclosure requirements of IAS 32.
• IFRIC 8, ‘Scope of IFRS 2’, requires consideration of transactions involving the issuance of equity instruments, where the identifiable consideration received is less than the fair value of the equity instruments issued in order to establish whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 2. This standard does not have any impact on the group’s financial statements.
The following standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 or later periods, but the group has not early adopted them.
• IAS 23 (Amendment), ‘Borrowing costs’ (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment to the standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. It requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs will be removed. The group will apply IAS 23 (Amended) from 1 January 2009 but is currently not applicable to the group as there are no qualifying assets.
• IFRS 8, ‘Operating segments’ (effective from 1 January 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 and aligns segment reporting with the requirements of the US standard SFAS 131, ‘Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information’. The new standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The group will apply IFRS 8 from 1 January 2009. The expected impact is still being assessed in detail by management, but it appears likely that the number of reportable segments, as well as the manner in which the segments are reported, will change in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. As goodwill is allocated to groups of cash generating units based on segment level, the change will also require management to reallocate goodwill to the newly identified operating segments. Management does not anticipate that this will result in any impact as the Group does not have any goodwill in its balance sheet.
b. Consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. This generally accompanies a shareholding of more than one half of voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control passed to the Group and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group uses the purchase method of accounting to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries.
The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are measured at fair value, at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Notes to Financial StatementsFor the year ended 31 March 2008(All amounts in Tshs M)
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(ii) Transactions and minority interestsThe Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the income statement. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.
(iii) AssociatesAssociates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost.
c. Segment Reporting
A business segment is a Group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
The Group’s primary segmental analyses are in accordance with the basis on which the businesses are managed and according to the differing risk and reward profiles. The Group presents its product analysis as its primary segmentation which has been analysed in Note 5. There is no secondary segment analysis as all entries operate within the same geographical area which is Tanzania.
d. Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and presentation currencyItems included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Tanzanian Shillings (Tsh), rounded to the nearest million, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balancesForeign currency transactions are translated into Tanzania Shillings using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, which are expressed in foreign currencies, are translated into Tanzania Shillings at rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement
of such transactions and from the translation at the year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account.
e. Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment are shown at cost, less subsequent de-preciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure directly attribut-able to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life as follows:Freehold buildings 20 - 50 yearsLeasehold buildings Shorter of the lease term or 50 yearsPlant, vehicles and systems 2 - 30 years
Containers in circulation are recorded within property plant and equip-ment at cost net of accumulated depreciation less any impairment loss. Depreciation of returnable bottles and containers is recorded to write the containers off over the course of their economic life. This is typically undertaken in a two stage process:
- The excess over deposit value is written down over a period of 1-3 years.
- Provisions are made against the deposit values for breakages and loss in trade together with a design obsolescence provision held to write off the deposit value over the expected bottle design period which is a period of no more than 10 years from inception of a bottle design. This period is shortened where appropriate by reference to market dynamics and the ability of the entity to use bottles for different brand.
Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset or to the date of the next major renovation, whichever is sooner. All other repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in the profit and loss.

f. Intangible Assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the costs of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets (including intangibles), liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of acquisition. Where the fair value of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration, the difference is recorded as negative goodwill. Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses and is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Any impairment identified is recognised immediately in the income statement and is not reversed.
(ii) Software
Where computer software is not an integral part of a related item of property, plant and equipment, the software is capitalised as an intangible asset.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring them to use. Direct costs associated with the production of identifiable and unique internally generated software products controlled by the Group that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are capitalised. Direct costs include software development employment costs (including those of contractors used) and an appropriate portion of overheads. Capitalised computer software, license and development costs are amortised over their useful economic lives of between 3 and 5 years.
Internally generated costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are expensed as incurred.
g. Impairment of Assets
This policy covers all assets except inventories (see note h), financial assets and deferred income tax assets (see note m).
Impairment reviews are performed by comparing the carrying value of the non-current asset to its recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
The fair value less costs to sell is considered to be the amount that could be obtained on disposal of the asset. The value in use of the asset is determined by discounting, at a market based pre-tax discount rate, the expected future cash flows resulting from its continued use, including those arising from its final disposal. When the carrying values of non- current assets are written down by any impairment amount, the loss is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it is incurred.
Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the cash flows of other assets the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the assets belongs. For the purpose of conducting impairment reviews, CGUs are considered to be groups of assets and liabilities that have separately identifiable cash flows. They also include those assets and liabilities directly involved in producing the income and a suitable proportion of those used to produce more than one income stream.
When an impairment is recognised, the impairment loss is held firstly against any specifically impaired assets of the CGU, then taken against goodwill balances and if there is a remaining loss it is set against the remaining intangible and tangible assets on a pro-rata basis.
Should circumstances or events change and give rise to a reversal of a previous impairment loss, the reversal is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it occurs and the carrying value of the asset is increased. The increase in the carrying value of the asset is restricted to the amount that it would have been had the original impairment not occurred. Impairment losses in respect of goodwill are irreversible.
Intangible non-current assets with an indefinite life and goodwill are tested annually for impairment. Assets subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment if circumstances or events change to indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.
h. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, and net realisable value, as follows:
• Raw materials, consumables and goods for resale: Purchase cost net of discounts and rebates on a first-in first-out basis (FIFO).
• Finished goods and work in progress: Raw material cost plus direct costs and a proportion of manufacturing overhead expenses on a FIFO basis.
Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.
i. Deposits by Customers
Bottles and containers in circulation are recorded within property plant and equipment and a corresponding liability is recorded in respect of the obligation to repay the customers’ deposits. Deposits paid by customers for branded returnable containers are reflected in the balance sheet within current liabilities. Any estimated liability that may arise in respect of deposits for containers and bottles is shown in provisions.
j. Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. This provision is recognised in the income statement.

Notes to Financial StatementsFor the year ended 31 March 2008(All amounts in Tshs M)
k. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank deposits repayable on demand, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet and are included within cash and cash equivalents on the face of the cash flow statement as they form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
l. Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the share premium account.
m. Income Tax
Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to the profit and loss account in respect of current and deferred income tax. Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the year determined in accordance with the Tanzania Income Tax Act, 2004.
Deferred income tax is provided in full using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that the directors consider that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
n. Employee Benefits
(i) Wages and salariesWages and salaries for current employees are recognised in the income statement as the employees’ services are rendered.
(ii) Bonus plans
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company’s shareholders after certain adjustments.
The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
(iii) Defined Contribution Plan The Group makes contribution to a defined contribution plan. The contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense as the costs become payable. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
(iv) Termination benefitsTermination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal, or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value in a similar manner to all long term employee benefits.
o. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, as a result of a past event for which it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Such provisions are calculated on a discounted basis where the effect is material to the original undiscounted provision. The carrying amount of the provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time and the unwinding of the discount and the movement is recognised in the income statement within interest costs.
p. Restructuring Provisions
Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. However provisions are recognised for onerous contracts where the unavoidable cost exceeds the expected benefit.
q. Revenue Recognition
(i) Sale of goods and services
Revenue represents the fair value at consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided to third parties and is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
The Group presents revenue gross of excise duties because unlike value added tax, excise is not directly related to the value of sales. It is not generally recognised as a separate item on invoices, increases in excise are not always directly passed on to customers, and the Group cannot reclaim the excise where customers do not pay for product received. The Group therefore considers excise as a cost to the Group and reflects it as a production cost. Consequently any excise that is recovered in the sale price is included in revenue.
Revenue excludes value added tax. It is stated net of price discounts, promotional discounts and after an appropriate amount has been provided to cover the sales value of credit notes yet to be issued that relate to the current and prior periods.
The same recognition criteria also apply to the sale of by-products and waste (such as spent grain, malt dust and yeast).
Tanzania Breweries LimitedPage 30
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the year ended 31 March 2008(All amounts in Tshs M)
(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
When a receivable is impaired the group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount by discounting the estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate, and continuing to unwind the discount as interest income.
(iii) Royalty incomeRoyalty income is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the relevant agreements and is included in other income.
(iv) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
r. Operating Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
s. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share represents the profit on ordinary activities after taxation attributable to the equity shareholders of the parent entity, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, less the weighted average number of ordinary shares held in the Group’s employee benefit trust during the year.
Diluted earnings per share represents the profit on ordinary activities after taxation attributable to the equity shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, less the weighted average number of ordinary shares held in the Group’s employee benefit trust during the year, plus the weighted average number of dilutive shares resulting from share options and other potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
t. Dividend Distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
u. Derivative Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities are financial instruments whose value changes in response to an underlying variable, require little or no initial investment and are settled in the future.
These include derivatives embedded in host contracts. Such embedded derivatives need not be accounted for separately if the host contract is already fair valued; if it is not considered as a derivative if it was freestanding; or if it can be demonstrated that it is closely related to the host contract. There are certain currency exemptions which the Group and Company has applied to these rules which limit the need to account for certain potential embedded foreign exchange derivatives, namely where a contract is denominated in the functional currency of either party or in a currency that is commonly used in contracts to purchase or sell non-financial items in the economic environment in which the transaction takes place.
Derivative financial assets and liabilities are analysed between current and non-current assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet, depending on when they are expected to mature.
v. Comparatives
Where necessary comparatives figures have been adjusted or reclassi-fied to conform with changes in the presentation in the current year.
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (including foreign exchange, interest rate and price risk). The Group’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial per-formance. Risks management is carried out by the management on be-half of the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Cash and cash equivalentsThe Group limits its exposure to financial institutions by setting credit limits.
Tanzania Breweries Limited Page 31
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the year ended 31 March 2008(All amounts in Tshs M)
The table below shows the credit limit and balance of the main counterparties at the balance sheet date.
Trade and other receivablesThe group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales commence and all major credit customers are required to produce cash deposit or bank guarantees. Credit risk is managed by limiting the aggregate amount of exposure to any one counterpart.
Collateral held comprises: 2008 2007
Cash security Tshs 3,800 M Tshs 4,325 M
Bank guarantees Tshs 3,012 M Tshs 654 M
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines and through inter-company short term advances. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below analyses the group’s financial liabilities which will be settled on a net basis into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Commodity price risk
The group is exposed to variability in the price of raw materials used in the production or in the packaging of finished products, such as the price of malt, barley, sugar and aluminium. These price risks are managed principally through multi year fixed price contracts with suppliers internationally.
Capital risk management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future developments of the business.
The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with the higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and the security afforded by a sound capital position. The Board monitors the following key credit ratios:
Interest rate and liquidity risk
Fluctuations in interest rates impact on operating activities. In the ordinary course of business, the Group and Company receive cash from its operations and are required to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Funding deficits for the Group and company’s operations have mainly been financed through bank borrowings and overdrafts from financial institutions.
2008 2007
Gearing ratio 59.2% 33.6%
Gross debt / EBITDA 0.58 0.35
Interest Cover 35 times 54 times
Free funds from operations Tshs 83, 467 M TShs 79,011M
Exchange rate risk management
As and when the need arises, the Group enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Group is subject to transaction and translation exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Occasionally, when considered prudent, exposure to foreign currency risk is hedged, by forward contracts.
The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that net monetary assets or liabilities denominated in a non functional currency are lower than Tshs 20 billion. In addition, the Group’s policy is to limit the impact to 1% of Group operating profit (excluding exceptional items) for each 10% change in foreign exchange rates.
The tables on page 33 set out the group’s currency exposures from financial assets and liabilities held by the group companies in currencies other than their functional currencies and resulting in exchange movements in the income statement and balance sheet.
At 31 March 2008, if the Tanzania shilling (Tshs) had weakened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been Tshs 783 million (2007: Tshs 916 million) lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses on translation of US dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents on hand, trade and other payables.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In determining and applying accounting policies, judgment is often required where the choice of specific policy, assumption or accounting estimate to be followed could materially affect the reported results or net position of the Group or Company, should it later be determined that a different choice would be more appropriate.
Management considers the following to be areas of significant judgment for the Group and Company:
ii) The determination of the carrying amount of goodwill;
iii) The determination of the carrying amount of plant, property and equipment and related depreciation, capitalisation of costs, estimation of useful economic life and recoverability of such assets;
iv) The calculation of the Group’s total tax charge where tax treatment cannot be finally determined until a formal resolution has been reached with the relevant tax authority
