NOTES
The above results are extracted from financial statements audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants, and on which an
unqualified opinion has been given.
Biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs
in accordance with IAS 41, Agriculture. Included in the operating profit for
2006 is a contribution of Sh 198.8 million (2005 (restated): Sh 25.9 million)
arising from the changes in the fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs
for biological assets.
Other principal factors contributing to the operating profit in 2006 were the
recovery in the tea price and an excellent avocado performance. However the
pineapple joint venture with Del Monte Kenya Limited is being wound down.
The company receives the bulk of its income in foreign currencies, and the
continuing strength of the shilling throughout the year had a severe impact on
sales revenues measured in shillings.
DIVIDEND
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year 2006
(2005: nil).
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of the company will be held on Tuesday 22 May 2007 at
12.00 noon at the Norfolk Hotel, Nairobi.
