That is an excuse for poor performance.

I see the big hole in sale of land and housing. Plus what's with the hike in internet expenses?

The Property market is currently low, even Prism Towers are yet to get a tenant -one year down the line. Harambee sacco is also struggling to dispose land on target profit margins - https://www.businessdail...4024-c8enawz/index.html
I agree, a change in reporting standards is not a scape goat for market reality...

The investment in the Zaria project is the cause of the current situation, Ksh 448 m was paid in 2019 for the venture in a time when property market is facing headwinds. This kind of deals are the cause of collapse companies ask Trans Century.

Stima investment has been through this for last two years and still no signs of coming out soon. Thought SIC was well managed but im surprised

Everything else seems to be normal apart from sale of land and housing. The economy is hurting everyone

Looks like the revenue recognition was not proper.Revenue was previously recognised when customer made a deposit.Currently,recognition is done once the selling process is completed. I would say IAS 18 was not very clear on revenue recognition hence for room for manupulation.

Diversification IMO

They should get into the business of drilling boreholes... and start with the properties they've sold. My thinking is, if people made use of the idle land they bought, they'd have money to buy more property and/or shares. When the land is dry, the pockets are dry, income and dividends dry
