Is the company trying to fool anyone by stating that Gross Margins went up by 68% in H1 of 2010 compared to 44% in H1 of 2009? This has been presented on the line right after the EPS where DPS should be. On a closer look, you note the company has been bleeding money buying items the never planned for. H1 2010 EPS is .15 compared to .37 for H1 2009.

Someone here sounds desperate.

Thengio Ngai I sold my speculative shares at Ksh21.50+. The numbers are anything but happiness. Turnover down 20% and then the joy of joys, AK has taken on a foreign currency denominated loan which has increased finance cost by almost ksh40m. Why not just do a cheap bond locally?

And some people here still talk up this share.If you have Access cut your losses,flee and dont look back.I cant see them make it.

AK wanapelekwa mbio. Competition has really hit them hard, so it must really be squeeky bum time there.

It's called "taking advantage of special offers" . I thought it was wags who are given to impulsive shopping, kumbe Access pia! .I quit when it hit 16 after IPO and never looked at it again. Small listed outfits have a way of conveniently leaking funds...especially if they are family oriented...or have a few majority owners. and NSE wants to introduce a segment for them...dah!

Safaricon, will you buy out this outfit and put them (and me) out of their misery?

uhmmm some.Wazuarians r verry pregnant with AK....

If someone angrily yells, this is a whack wife, you know she is being divorced...he is on the phone with his broker, as he should.

The "commentary" on the left side of the statement is such a contradiction of the "income statement" on the right! I wonder how much they are paying the wordsmith or the PR guru who worked on this masterpiece.

the only upside here is the lower the price the greater the dividend yield.. before books close on september 2nd... ..NICE..
currently at kshs 19.00 & Div of 0.30 means yield is about 1.58%... Dividend yield of 2.5% or more is suitable for me..meaning..good to buy at 12.00? wow....okay..that's abit improbable.. 14-15 may be.
