RESULTS:

The profit before tax for the period to June 2020 was KSh 204.1 million compared to a profit of KSh 355.1 million for the same period last year. This is principally due to a financial provision write back in 2019.

During the first half of the year, avocado profits are on a par with 2019, macadamia profits are greater, and our tea operations made an operating loss of KSh 11.3 million compared to a loss of KSh 1.1 million in 2019.

The profit after tax for the period to 30 June 2020 was KSh 272.8 million compared to a profit of KSh 245.5 million for the same period last year. This is principally due to the release of deferred tax provision in view of the reduction of the Corporate tax rate to 25% from 30% by the Government.

The Directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend.
