Maybe they just want to be thought of as an 'international' entity.

If i am not wrong,Olympia Capital are the former Dunlop Industries in Kenya. Any one has any idea about how their performance is in the Botswana Stock Exchange as they are listed there as well?

Good question. The CMA ought to perform some due diligence on this company. Reliance on audited financial statements is clearly not working. I will not be surprised if what is presented as investments outside of Kenya is nothing but hot air.

DCDM but auditors do not give EPS calcs unless in the Financial Statements! I think this was calculated by B.U.R.E.K.A.B.I.S.A to con folks!

I think its performance in botswana is the same as here, the share has registered a significant drop in the last 12 months.

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly VVV you are addressing a veteran- an ex top 4 auditor and that is why even without checking I knew that Olympia has a middle level firm as auditors. I did not even consider the accuracy of numbers presented. I am more concerned that there may be no and there may never have been investments in SA, Botswana or even Korea. It would be interesting for DCDM to tell us what procedures they performed to confirm the investments in foreign countries. To be honest the CMA is not doing enough to police these companies. As far as I am concerned audited financial statements can mislead even the very best. Supervision should include on site visits and checks on operations. The managers of Access Kenya and Olympia seem to have pulled a fast one on the investing public as well as the CMA. In some other countries, such actions would be considered economic crimes and the prison sentences would be lengthy.

@accelriskconsult - The Botswana subsidiary is also listed so audited locally. I doubt the Kenyan auditors go to Botswana if there is a local firm that audits the subsidiary. I think the same DCDM does the Botswana audits.

I have no issues with the auditor. In a past AGM, the auditor (to the discomfort of B.U.R.E.K.A.B.I.S.A) read a speech that criticized the Corporate Governance of Olympia! You should have seen the faces of the Directors. I thought they were going to fire DCDM on the spot!

You have got to give it to Matu. He's managed to con the market until there are no sellers. Of course who would want to sell a share at 4.50 when it is making 3.31 shillings and Matu is promising more?
