What this all means to me, is that a serious internal restructuring and streamlining is and has been taking place, which will result in the company being leaner and more efficient, with a lower cost base.
FY numbers to end june 2014 aren't going to be that good, although they do state that the company will still make a profit. They say next year will be better with all the initiatives bedding in, in other words from 1st july 2014.
They hint at options being considered for kilimapesa may give respite from losses and potential for value.
Outright sale that says to me. Divi could be suspended this year.
Pretty dismal in the short run, however, looking further out into the 2nd half of calender 2014 (1st half FY 2015)
the work in progress should start to bear fruit.
The whole feel is that the company is able to withstand the current environment, with a lot of scope to emerge in better shape.
The company is dealing with the challenges and the share price is reflecting the current sentiment.
It will be interesting to see, when the closed period is over, after the interims are out, whether the BOD decide to
buy a few or not.
