>>> FYR pdf copy here

Funny, No dividend declared this time. The dividend declared at Q3 2012 is now considered "First and Final Dividend".

1) There is a lot of ambiguity as far as the real estate JV is concerned. Merali owns 75% of the Real Estate JV along Mombasa Rd& Sameer Africa only 25% thus we do not know whether there is any equity (left for Sameer Africa) in the project. A clarification on this matter is required.

2) I find it pricey at 5.80 vs potential growth. High PER for the firm with inconsistent performance.

In your view what are the determinants and obstacles for growth in its core business?

I am a fan of Warren Buffett, so if I do not trust management, I don't bother much with the firm... If the management changes, then I will have a look. An example is EA Cables, which I only 'entered' after merali sold out to TransCentury [mugo kibati as MD] then I sold after he left.

Excluding the merali factor:
1) It has to rein in costs [power] by investing in other sources & not rely on KPLC.
2) Educate Kenyans on buying 'local' fresh tyres not those that have stayed in the sun for months/years... Many tyres Kenya imports have been baking in Dubai's sun...
3) More cars = more tyres needed. This is common across EAC. What about the market for tyres for motorbikes? Huge & growing market.
4) The real estate JV worries me somewhat. Not sure if the benefits will flow to Sameer's shareholders vs merali.
