Aguytrying, seems Centum didn't pull a Mumias on us thensmile

looks like it didn't, though half yr was up 900 percent, now full yr 110 percent. But that bonus surely! I could've been better. Overall stellar results, good prospects.
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Good results, though not unexpected. I am waiting to see how much of the investment income is Fair Value Gains through Profit and Loss.

Okay, these Centum results, na soma soma sana but one question for your help pls... http://bit.ly/khe4Kw [PDF]

You see there's this Company v/s Group issue. Company shows Income growth of 51%, and Profit after Tax growth of 40%. Group shows Income growth of 118% and Profit after Tax of 112%.


I see a large portion of gains generally attributable to revaluation/unrealized gains in non-trading assets. Which line tells us how much cash the business is generating?

Is it Portfolio income + Realised gains = approx 30% of profit d'oh! d'oh!

A huge proportion of the investment income is from unrealised gains, especially arising from the increase in value of their investments in unquoted companies (referred to as Private Equity). Centum has also recognised a near 1 B increase in the value of their Real Estate, albeit that this is unrealised.

I am happy to keep my investment in this company as a long term investment. I will however be surprised if the share price rallies more than where it is today, considering what has happened to other companies that have reported impressive growth.

@mwanahisa I hear you. The results and direction company is taking is good.

It's just that when I consider most are revaluations of non-trading assets:

--I simplify my vision of ultimate value only to appreciation of their share price
--For Real Estate more concerned with rental yield than appreciation of asset
--For Private Equity more concerned with dividend yield or share of associates cash profits

I'm impressed for example with the approach for Quoted Instruments where superior investment and disposal of Carbacid generated positive cash flow.

Centum plan to exit two counters on the NSE this year to go into geothermal...uhhmm who do u think is on the chopping board?

Earnings up also cause of their sell carbacid..appreciation of Uap and Kwal...like i said on my blog Centum is fairly priced folks...i also think their too over ambitious...but i like their diversification game plan...i hope folks at Britak are learning 1 or 2 things...where do u think triple digits will come from in 2011? unless they continue selling their quoted shares.

How can aiming for the sky be termed too ambitious?

@muganda centums current path scares me... If they continue to attribute most of their earnings to revaluations and fair value gains then rather than cash fllow gains then what to them happens when the bears are set loose upon us..

Oh @muganda btw for those who seek rental income, dividend income, the fair value gains, the appreciation of real estate and the whole package from farmers choice to bujagali and from insurance to fibre optic cables look no further JUBILEE'S in town... Laughing out loudly

I also really wonder what will bring in the profits for these guys in 2011..
Certainly they wont match last years earnings unless they decide to revalue their assets which will also be a heavy dissappointment
