It's been circulating My main concern here is the debt esp at TRDL. However, Mworia said they are looking for a buyer to sell a chunk of the company to and use the proceeds to pay off the debt in it. The debt there has become a wild animal that can't be tamed easily Debts at CentumRe, in my understanding, was to bridge the gap between selling, collection and construction. If selling or collection slows down, they may have to funnel cash from marketable securities to pay off the debt. Which marketable securities are this. If it's in the NSE quotable securities,Centum exited. 7.5bn in fixed income securities (Govt and corporate bonds). They call them "marketable securities"

Bricklane Research @BricklaneCapita Replying to @mtucreativity @coldtusker and 12 others I am sure some here might have an auditor, accountant or even better a forensic accountant. Try sending them Centum financials and let them give you their opinion. I would like to be best proved wrong. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Bricklane Research @BricklaneCapita Replying to @mtucreativity @coldtusker and 12 others Take a look at Centum net earnings and it's operating cash flow. That's likely all you need. Just ask any accountant what happens to a company that makes more accounting profit than real cashflow constantly. It's easy to figure out it's running on debt.

Bricklane Research @BricklaneCapita Replying to @mtucreativity @coldtusker and 12 others Centum NAV is made up of 90% fair value reserves a.k.a smoke and mirror. The NAV grew too fast due to aggressive fair value gains that ROE went to the dogs. It used to be a constant feature back in 2014-15 era. Today it's hardly ever mentioned.

More cash can be expected by March 2022 since some may pay after FY2021 results. There was a turnaround from FY2021 with all the drama around COVID. There was a FV Loss but that's a non-cash item and just reverses prior years FV Gains. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Consolidated report, highly likely to be in losses coz of TRDL but company income statement is looking at a 700m - 1bn operating profit depending on what Centum Re pays out to Centum. Dividends are paid out from the Company Income statement so there is some optimism for a better dividend this year.

I get tired of explaining that point to neophytes and those who don't like digging deeper. Unless CICP has to pony up cash (guarantees, etc) to support TRDL, then TRDL's woes (which are being worked on) don't really affect CICP as far as cashflows are concerned. CICP/Almasi won the 3bn case against KRA regarding taxes on deposits for bottles which "released" cash that was used as collateral. Another 3bn case was won by ACE at TAT but ACE though KRA will appeal. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Not sure if they are true but no smoke without fire. All came out before the official announcement. https://kenyandigest.com...ment-debacle-of-centum/
