The results make sense to me; the improved net profit position is mainly explained by the huge increase (221%) in the investment income. This to me is expected considering the improved returns from the financial markets in 2012 compared to 2011. With an improved loss ratio by 4% points, one would have expected underwriting activities to contribute more to the bottom line considering the net commission ratio is unchanged compared to 2011. However, they are ceding more business as evidenced by the decrease in the retention ratio by 4% points. I however still think that one can get a better value elsewhere than the 60 per share on UAP OTC. As for the dates, the offer results will be announced on Dec 21, 2012, allocation of shares and updating the share register will happen on Jan 3, 2013 and OTC trading starts on Jan 9, 2013. ...When they count the men who built Kenya, will you be in the list? I choose to go long term....

Are the new shares eligible for the dividend/s for FY 2012? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Are the new shares eligible for the dividend/s for FY 2012? @VVS, No and Yes. No to the interim dividend of KES 0.85 because books closed on 30 June, 2012 (Clause 13.4, Dividend Payment Policy and History, Page 128-129 of IM). Yes to final and future dividends because the issued shares rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Shares (Clause 7.11, Issue of Shares, page 42 of IM) including right to participate in FY 2012 dividend (Status of the Offer Shares, page 4-5 of IM) I however dont expect much dividend here. The dividend payment history has spoken. @jacmuchiri, Fair value gains on investment properties must have also significantly contributed to that investment income. On UAP as an investment case at KES 60/-, i retain and concur with you that there is better value elsewhere.

See what happened immediately after listing for Britam & Longhorn. Will UAP buck the trend in 2013? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

2013 will be very tough considering its projects will take long to start generating income. All the more the reasons Centum refused to sign the lock up agreements. Centum will jump out of this counter soon

A good portion of the investment income jump is likely to have come from property revaluations since there is work in progress anyway. From the IM and balance sheet UAP uses available for sale for bulk of it's equity portfolio and not held for trading. Management accounts suggests so. Me I think the offer price was too high for such an offer. Any indications of the amounts raised..

@Kausha agreed. The property revaluations could be a good avenue to 'massage' the results... ...When they count the men who built Kenya, will you be in the list? I choose to go long term....
