and investment property accounted for by KOBWA. The derecognition of the dam assets and investment
property has seen the KOBWA Balance Sheet moving from a Total Asset Base of E/R 5,131,914.065

4,086,768,101.
KOBWA identified a classification error in the presentation of certain liabilities in the statement of financial
position. In prior periods, employee benefit liabilities, such as short-term employee-related obligations,
were incorrectly included under Payables from exchange transactions and provisions.
The adjustment of a previously disclosed payables from R/E 5,772,137 to R/E 26,865,887.
