Thus the PBT/PAT would have been much higher had this provision not been taken. Seems 2011 will be better [except for lower tea production] but Kakuzi was specific in saying that it is too volatile to predict anything for 2011... Greedy when others are fearful.

This is because the adjustment relates to 2007 and 2008 and therefore should only affect prior year retained earnings through a debit to retained earnings and a credit to provisions....(assuming the accounting is done correctly) This is as opposed to recognising the provision as a current year expense thus affecting current year profit or loss. I suppose the financial statements are not that bad any way.

If the Northern African situations doesn't improve, Then they could be in for a rougher ride this year. Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It happens every day. ~Albert Camus, The Fall, 1956

I suppose the financial statements are not that bad any way. True but since the 'past' numbers were not adjusted, Kakuzi took the provision in the current year. Eventually, the adjustment will be taken [& should be adjusted for 2007 & 2008] but for now Kakuzi has taken the better option & been conservative. Greedy when others are fearful.

Thank God for some sharp Accountants in the house ! xxxxx, Why didn't you just stop at xxx for your username ? Kakuzi actually adjusted their 2009 retained earnings from the figure reported in their 2009 annual accounts of 1,660,587K to 1,584,272K. The difference is 76,315,000, which is roughly the after tax effect of the 109 million claim. So indeed 2010 profits have not been affected. It is interesting to note that Kakuzi's profits were actually dampened by the poor performance of their Fuerte Avocado crop. I expect that results from tea were pretty vibrant .

My point is that if Tea does well [prices are high but production may suffer] & with a weak KES, the PAT could jump. Also the farms are worth loads more coz of the Tatu City project. This will take a few more years but Thika, Ruiru & Kiambu are much more closer to Nairobi with the new roads! For many people - myself included - I might move out there. Who wants/needs to go to town anymore? My bank has branches in the suburbs where I do business. Or I can change banks. There are ATMs, M-Pesa, etc! Greedy when others are fearful.
