Mumias Sugar has released its financial results for the six months ended December 2016 posting a 40 per cent decline in net revenue to Sh 1.53 Billion compared to Sh 2.98 Billion posted in the previous period in 2015.

The company went further ahead to issue a late Profit warning with Loss Before Tax widening further by 70 per cent to a record Sh 3.792 Billion vs Sh 2.23 Billion recorded during a similar period in 2015.

The Nairobi Securities Exchange listed company blamed the huge drop in earnings on shortage of raw materials (cane) and factory underutilization resulting into high unit costs of production.

Over this period, the company crushed 319,746 tons of cane, which is 45% lower compared to 581,541 tons crushed in the same period in 2015. Sugar produced was 12,197 tons, a decline of more than 67% compared to 36,510 tons produced in HY 2015.

Revenue from Ethanol increased 4% to Sh 453 Million vs Sh 435 Million in HY 2015. Over this accounting period, Ethanol prices increased from Sh91 to Sh 95 currently.

The board also noted that they are in talks with the government to get additional funding aka “Bailout”.

This company should be delisted until such a time that it will put its act together.
Anyone buying shares in this company today must be one hell of a gambler.

Another Bandia firm that GoK supports using taxpayer funds. It should be allowed to die like KQ and Uchumi.

Trying to make that extra coin to invest while prices are low! I am essentially fully invested in some good firms. Some e.g. Unga face tough times but will be OK. Others like I&M are suffering like their peers but seem cheap at current prices as they come to grips with the new interest capping regime. KK will do fine as we need fuel come rain or shine. KenRe will boom in this high-interest regime. Smaller holdings e.g. CarGen, TPSEA, etc will suffer in 2017 coz of elections but they will survive to become stronger.
CarGen is selling 50% of its Cummins biz to Cummins "International" in a slow year while TPSEA is building/expanding in a slow year too. They are preparing today for a boom tomorrow.
I have fun needling folks who think KQ, as a business, will do well with a 39bn hole!

If it is not a purchase transaction (inheritance, gift, succession), you may by-pass the broker (and their commissions) by making application through CDSC.

However, suppose a trade of purchase and sale at zero, nil cost, what would be the commissions value.

Re Pesa nane response above. It is not a purchase, just a transfer. Broker commissions n/a but you might pay some marginal fees to CDSC.
