OVERVIEW:
The above results are extracted from the financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, and on which an unqualified opinion has been given.
The Profits are considered satisfactory and have been favourably affected by the exchange rates together with reasonable prices attained on both Tea and Avocado production, despite considerable reductions in volume due to lower rainfall levels. It should be noted that the profits reflect a favourable write back of Ksh. 109 million due to the satisfactory conclusion of the claim against Kakuzi Ltd made by Del Monte Kenya Ltd.
DIVIDEND:
The directors recommend the payment of a first and final dividend for the financial year 2011 of 75% equivalent to Shs 3.75 per stock unit (2010: Shs 2.50) subject to shareholders approval. The dividend shall be paid on or about 30 June 2012 to the shareholders on the members' register at the close of business on Thursday, 31 May 2012.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING:
The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Wednesday, 24 May 2012 at 12.00 Noon at Nairobi Serena Hotel.
