Sales revenue for the year was $1,870 million, compared to the previous year’s revenue of $1,706
million, representing an increase of $164 million or 10%. The company was able to increase sales during
the pandemic due to our distribution model that delivers products directly to neighbourhoods and
communities. There was an increase in demand for comfort food, including ice cream. Additionally, our
Ocho Rios depot was opened in late September to serve the town and surrounding communities.

Cost of Operating Revenue (COR)
CCL continues the initiative of improving operational efficiencies, adding the Ocho Rios depot for
greater sales revenue, outsourcing some of our workforce, to name a few. In the past year, the COR was
$1,245 million, an increase of $84 million or 7% above the previous year and lower than our 10% sales
increase. Major contributors were: (1) Raw materials and consumables by $34 million or 5%, due to local
raw material and overseas purchases as well as an average 16% decline in the rate of the Jamaican
dollar to the major currencies. (2) Utilities increased by $39 million or 34%. This was driven by higher
production levels and a hike in the fuel and foreign exchange portions of the electricity bills. (3) Other
costs increased by $48 million or 55% resulting from: (i) Reclassification of cost for disposal of waste and
fats, which were from cleaning and sanitation, (ii) Outsourcing of general labour and (iii) Higher duties
and storage costs due to higher volumes of imported novelties.

To the Members of
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
Opinion
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
We have audited the financial statements of Caribbean Cream Limited (“the company”), set out
on pages 41 to 76, which comprise the statement of financial position as at February 28, 2021,
the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash
flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial
position of the company as at February 28, 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) and the Jamaican Companies Act.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities
34
for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of
the company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants including International Independence
Standards (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the Members of
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
Key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. This matter was addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Key Audit Matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our
auditors’ report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditors’ report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the Members of
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether
the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein,
we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with IFRS and the Jamaican Companies Act, and for such internal control
as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the company’s financial
reporting process.
37
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditors’ report that includes our opinion.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the Members of
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is included
in the Appendix to this auditors’ report. This description, which is located at pages 39 to 40,
forms part of our auditors’ report.
We have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
In our opinion, proper accounting records have been maintained, so far as appears from our
examination of those records, and the financial statements, which are in agreement therewith,
give the information required by the Jamaican Companies Act in the manner required.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Wilbert
Spence.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the Members of
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up
to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events 39
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the Members of
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1. Identification
Caribbean Cream Limited (the company) is incorporated and domiciled in Jamaica and is listed on the Junior
Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE). The company’s registered office is located at 3 South Road,
Kingston 10, Jamaica.
At the reporting date, Scoops Unlimited Limited, a company incorporated and domiciled in Jamaica, and
its directors controlled the company by virtue of their direct holding of 78% of the issued shares of the
company.
The principal activities of the company are the manufacture and sale of ice cream and frozen novelties,
under the ‘Kremi’ brand, and the importation and distribution of certain types of frozen novelties.
2. Basis of preparation
New and amended standards that became effective during the year
Certain new and amended standards that were issued came into effect during the current financial
year. The adoption of those new standards and amendments did not have any impact on the company’s
financial statements.
New and amended standards issued that are not yet effective
At the date of approval of the financial statements, there were certain new and amended standards
which were in issue but were not yet effective and which the company has not early adopted. Those
which management considered may be relevant to the company are as follows:
45
• Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1,
2020, with early application permitted. It provides guidance for COVID-19 related rent concessions.
The amendments introduce an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts
for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of COVID-19. A lessee that applies the practical
expedient is not required to assess whether eligible rent concessions are lease modifications, and
accounts for them in accordance with other applicable guidance. The resulting accounting will
depend on the details of the rent concession. For example, if the concession is in the form of a one-
off reduction in rent, it will be accounted for as a variable lease payment and be recognised in profit
or loss.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
New and amended standards issued that are not yet effective (continued)
• Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June
1, 2020, with early application permitted. It provides guidance for COVID-19 related rent concessions
(continued).
‑ the revised consideration is substantially the same or less than the original consideration;
‑ the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before 30 June 2022; and
‑ no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the lease.
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
‑ that fact, if they have applied the practical expedient to all eligible rent concessions and, if not,
the nature of the contracts to which they have applied the practical expedient; and
‑ the amount recognised in profit or loss for the reporting period arising from application of the
practical expedient.
No practical expedient is provided for lessors. Lessors are required to continue to assess if the rent
concessions are lease modifications and account for them accordingly.
• Amendments to IAS 37 Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and clarifies those costs that comprise the
costs of fulfilling the contract.
The amendments clarify that the ‘costs of fulfilling a contract’ comprise both the incremental costs
46 – e.g. direct labour and materials; and an allocation of other direct costs – e.g. an allocation of the
depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract.
This clarification will require entities that apply the ‘incremental cost’ approach to recognise bigger
and potentially more provisions. At the date of initial application, the cumulative effect of applying
the amendments is recognised as an opening balance adjustment to retained earnings or other
component of equity, as appropriate. The comparatives are not restated.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
New and amended standards issued that are not yet effective (continued)
• Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 cycle contain amendments to IFRS 1 First-
time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS
16 Leases, IAS 41 Agriculture, and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2022.
(i) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments amendment clarifies that – for the purpose of performing the 10
per cent test’ for derecognition of financial liabilities – in determining those fees paid net of fees
received, a borrower includes only fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender,
including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf.
(iii) The amendments to IAS 41 Agriculture removes the requirement to exclude cash flows for taxation
when measuring fair value, thereby aligning the fair value measurement requirements in IAS 41
with those in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.
• Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, will apply retrospectively for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The amendments promote consistency in
application and clarify the requirements on determining if a liability is current or non-current.
Under existing IAS 1 requirements, companies classify a liability as current when they do not have
an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the end
of the reporting period. As part of its amendments, the requirement for a right to be unconditional
has been removed and instead, now requires that a right to defer settlement must have substance
and exist at the end of the reporting period. A company classifies a liability as non-current if it has
a right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. It has now been 47
clarified that a right to defer exists only if the company complies with conditions specified in the
loan agreement at the end of the reporting period, even if the lender does not test compliance until
a later date.
With the amendments, convertible instruments may become current. In light of this, the
amendments clarify how a company classifies a liability that includes a counterparty conversion
option, which could be recognised as either equity or a liability separately from the liability
component under IAS 32. Generally, if a liability has any conversion options that involve a transfer
of the company’s own equity instruments, these would affect its classification as current or non-
current. It has now been clarified that a company can ignore only those conversion options that are
recognised as equity when classifying liabilities as current or non-current.
The company is assessing the impact that these amendments will have on its financial statements when
they become effective.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis and are presented in Jamaica dollars,
which is the functional currency of the company.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of,
and disclosures relating to, assets, liabilities, contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the reporting
date and the income and expenses for the year then ended. Actual amounts could differ from those
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the financial
statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year are
discussed below:
(i) Judgements:
For the purpose of these financial statements, judgement refers to the informed identification and
analysis of reasonable alternatives, considering all relevant facts and circumstances, and the well-
reasoned, objective and unbiased choice of the alternative that is most consistent with the agreed
principles set out in IFRS. The key relevant judgements are as follows:
The assessment of the business model within which the assets are held and assessment
48 of whether the contractual terms of the financial asset are solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding requires management to make certain
judgements on its business operations.
Establishing the criteria for determining whether credit risk on the financial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition, determining methodology for incorporating forward-
looking information into measurement of expected credit loss (ECL) and selection and approval
of models used to measure ECL requires significant judgement.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
(ii) Key assumptions concerning the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty:
(d) In determining amounts recorded for impairment of financial assets in the financial statements,
management makes assumptions in determining the inputs to be used in the ECL measurement
model, including incorporation of forward-looking information. Management also estimate the likely
amount of cash flows recoverable on the financial assets in determining loss given default. The use of
assumptions make uncertainty inherent in such estimates.
Estimates of net realisable value also take into consideration the purpose for which the inventory is
held.
The residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed at least at each financial year-
end, and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate. The useful life of an asset is defined in terms of the asset’s expected utility to
the company.
A segment is a distinguishable component of the company that is engaged either in providing products
(business segment), or in providing products within a particular economic environment (geographical
segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
The company’s activities are limited to the manufacture and sale of ice cream products and frozen
novelties to Jamaican consumers, operating in a single segment, therefore no additional segment
information is provided.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
(i) Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the
assets. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the
part will flow to the company and its cost can be reliably measured. The cost of day-to-day servicing
of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(ii) Depreciation:
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on the straight-line basis at annual rates estimated to
write down the assets to their residual values over their expected useful lives. No depreciation is
charged on construction in progress. The depreciation rates are as follows:
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Buildings 5%
50
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed annually.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, bank balances and fixed deposits with maturity of three
months or less from the date of placement and are at measured cost. For the purpose of the statement
of cash flows, bank overdraft, if any, that is repayable on demand and form an integral part of cash
management activities, is included as part of cash and cash equivalents.
Trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses [see note 3(m)].
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
(e) Inventories:
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost, determined principally on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis,
and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated selling costs.
(g) Borrowings:
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial
recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are measured at amortised cost, with any difference between
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset are capitalised as property, plant and equipment.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity where there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the
proceeds of the share issue.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The company
recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer.
51
The nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers,
including significant payment terms, and the related revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Sale of Ice cream products Customers obtain control of Revenue is recognised when
goods when the goods are the goods are delivered and
delivered to and accepted by have been accepted by the
them. Invoices are generated customers, which is at a point
and the revenue is recognized at in time.
that point in time.
( j) Taxation:
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Taxation is recognised
in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it
is recognised in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount
of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date.
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences except to the extent that the
company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that
the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements
(referred to in IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures as the “reporting entity” in this case the company).
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the company if that person:
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the company or of a parent of the company.
(b) An entity is related to the company if any of the following conditions applies:
(i) The entity and the company are members of the same group (which means that each parent,
subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a
member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
(b) An entity is related to the company if any of the following conditions applies (continued):
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the company
or an entity related to the company.
(vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key
management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
(c) Related party transaction is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between related
parties, regardless of whether a price is charged.
Foreign currency balances at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rates ruling at that date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of those
transactions. Gains and losses arising from fluctuations in exchange rates are recognised in profit or
loss.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, all foreign currency gains and losses recognised in
profit or loss are treated as cash items and included in cash flows from operating or financing activities
along with movement in the relevant balances. 53
(m) Impairment:
Financial assets
The company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) on:
‑ contract assets
Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to
lifetime ECLs.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition and when estimating ECLs, the company considers reasonable and supportable information
relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative
information and analysis, based on the company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment
and including forward looking information.
The company assumes that the credit risk on financial assets has increased significantly if it is more than
90 days past due.
The company recognises loss allowances for ECLs and considers a financial asset to be in default when:
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
‑ the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the company in full, without recourse by -the
company to action such as realising security if any is held;
Life-time ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the
financial instrument.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which
the company is exposed to credit risk.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present
value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance
with the contract and the cash flows that the company expects to receive).
54
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised costs are
credit impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
‑ it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) when there is no
reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is the case
when the company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. This assessment is carried
out at the individual asset level.
Recoveries of amounts previously written off are included in ‘impairment losses on financial instruments’
in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply
with the company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
55
Non- financial assets
The carrying amount of the company’s non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax
asset) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is
recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs
to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows,
the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, if no impairment loss had been
recognised.
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity. In these financial statements, financial assets comprise
cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Financial liabilities comprise trade and
other payables and long-term loans.
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and
financial liabilities are initially recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; fair value
through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or fair
value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the company
changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets
are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business
model.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not
designated as at FVTPL:
‑ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash
flows; and
‑ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).
Due to their short-term nature, the company initially recognises these assets at the original invoiced
or transaction amount less expected credit losses.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are
measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the company may irrevocably designate a financial asset
that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
The company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial 57
asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and
information is provided to management.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal
and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset
on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the
credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and
for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit
margin.
The company’s objective is to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows. In assessing
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the company
considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial
asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows
such that it would not meet this condition.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of borrowings, plus directly
attributable transaction costs. The company’s financial liabilities, which include trade and other
payables and long-term loans are recognized initially at fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign
exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on
58 derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
The company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction
in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred
or in which the company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its statement of
financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred
Financial liabilities
The company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or
cancelled, or expired.
(iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the company currently has a legally enforceable right to set
off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
(o) Leases:
At inception of a contract, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract
59
is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset, the company uses the definition of a lease in IFRS16.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
As a lessee
The company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The
right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove underlying asset or to restore the underlying
asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end
of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets are determined on the same
basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by
impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at
the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be
readily determined, the company’s incremental borrowing rate.
The company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various
external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of
the asset leased.
60 For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the company has elected not to recognise right-
of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of assets that have a lease term of 12 months or
less and lease of low-value assets. The company recognises the lease payments associated with these
leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market price is used to determine
fair value where an active market exists as it is the best evidence of the fair value of a financial
instrument. The company has no financial instrument that is carried at fair value and where carrying
value of financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of carrying value, no fair value computation
is done.
The carrying value reflected in the financial statements for cash and cash equivalent, trade and other
receivables, and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate fair value due to their relatively
short-term nature.
The fair value of long-term loans is assumed to approximate carrying value as the loans bear interest at
market rates and all other conditions are at market terms.

The company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• credit risk
• liquidity risk
• market risk
This note presents information about the company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the company’s
objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the company’s management of
capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company’s
risk management framework. The company, through its training and management standards and
procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees
understand their roles and obligations.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the company’s
receivables from customers and cash and cash equivalents. The company generally does not
require collateral in respect of financial assets, materially trade receivables. Management has a
credit policy in place to minimise exposure to credit risk. Credit evaluations are performed on all
customers requiring credit.
The company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each
customer. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each
financial asset at the reporting date.
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
The company manages credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by maintaining cash resources
with financial institutions that are appropriately licensed and regulated; and have high credit rating
therefore, management believes that exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Impairment on cash and cash equivalents have been measured at 12 months expected loss basis
and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The company considered that cash and cash
equivalents have low credit risk. No impairment allowances were recognised as at February 28,
2021 and February 29, 2020.
Trade receivables
Management has established a credit policy under which its customers are analysed for
creditworthiness prior to being offered a credit facility. This includes credit evaluations on
70
new customers and procedures for the recovery of amounts owed by defaulting customers.
Management has procedures in place to restrict customer service if the customers have not cleared
outstanding debts within the credit period. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are
categorised according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or
company, or aging profile and existence of previous financial difficulties.
The company’s average credit period on the sale of its products is 30-60 days. Some trade
receivables are provided for based on the estimate of amounts that would be irrecoverable,
determined by taking into consideration past default experience, current economic conditions and
expected receipts and recoveries. Management also considers the factors that may influence the
credit risk of the customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country
in which the customers operate. The customer is allowed up to 90 days after each invoice date to
submit payment of amounts owing to the company.
Trade receivables also includes amounts receivable from a related party. The risk is managed on a
group basis, by off-setting balances where necessary.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
The company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on the data that is determined
to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial
statements, management accounts and cash flow projections and available press information about
its customers) and applying experienced credit judgement.
The company uses an allowance matrix to measure ECLs of trade receivables. The provision matrix
is based on its historical observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and
is adjusted for forward looking estimates.
Loss rates are calculated based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive
stages of delinquency to write-off, current conditions and the economic conditions over the
expected lives of the receivables.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECL for trade
receivables as at the reporting date:

(ii) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they
fall due. The company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will
always have sufficient liquid resources to meet its financial liabilities when due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to its reputation.
Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset at, or close to, its fair value.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. The
tables show the undiscounted cash flows of non-derivative financial liabilities, including interest
payments, based on the earliest date on which the company can be required to pay.

There was no change to the company’s exposure to liquidity risk during the year, or the manner in
which it measures and manages the risk.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest
rates, will affect the company’s income or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of
market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits,
while optimising the return on risk.

Currency risk is the risk that the value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due
to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The company is exposed to currency risk on transactions that are denominated in a currency
other than its functional currency. The main currencies giving rise to this risk are the United
States dollar (US$) and the Canadian dollar (CDN$).
The company ensures that the risk is kept to an acceptable level by monitoring its risk
KREMI ANNUAL REPORT 2021
exposure and by maintaining funds in US$ as a hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange
rates.
The company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:
2021 2020
J$ US$ CDN$ J$ Equivalent US$ CDN$
Equivalent
74
Exchange rates in terms of the Jamaica dollar as at the reporting date were US$1: J$149.60
(2020: US$1: J$135.86) and CDN$1: J$120.96 (2020: CDN$1: J$99.59).
Sensitivity analysis:
A 6% (2020: 6%) weakening of the US$ and CDN$ against the J$ would increase profit for the
year by $952,333 (2020: increase profit by $2,303,676).
A 2% (2020: 4%) strengthening of the US$ and CDN$ against the J$ would increase profit for
the year by $ 317,444 (2020: decrease profit by $1,535,718).
The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The
analysis is done on the same basis as for 2020.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
due to changes in market interest rate.
CARIBBEAN CREAM LIMITED
The company minimises interest rate risk by investing mainly in fixed rate instruments and
contracting liabilities at fixed rates, where possible. The company’s interest rate risk arises
mainly from bank loans.
At the reporting date, the interest profile of the company’s interest-bearing financial instruments
was:
Carrying amount
The company does not account for any financial instrument at fair value, therefore a change
in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect the carrying value of the company’s
financial instruments.
The company does not have any significant cash flow exposure to changes in rates because
the majority of the loans and cash and cash equivalents are at fixed rates of interest and those 75
at variable rates are insignificant.
The Board seeks to maintain a strong capital base to maintain stakeholders’ confidence. The
company defines capital as total equity. There were no changes in the company’s approach to capital
management during the year.
The company is not subject to any externally-imposed capital requirements, except as shown in note
16(c).

The World Health Organisation declared the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic on March
11, 2020 and the Government of Jamaica declared the island a disaster area on March 13, 2020. The
pandemic and the measures to control its human impact have resulted in disruptions to economic activity,
business operations and asset prices. This could have significant negative financial effects on the company,
depending on factors such as (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories
from Governments, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of
which are highly uncertain and cannot be estimated reliably.
The company has assessed the situation, as part of its business continuity and contingency planning. While
the pandemic has affected the operations of the company, the effects are not considered significant as the
company continues to generate revenue and cash flows at the pre-pandemic levels.
