@ pesanane. thanks for making me aware of these things. I do not like the constant acquisitions reminds me of centum. at least they do not keep selling yet. mauritius, mauritius. That always raises an eyebrow.

There might be no problem, but its good to know the animal you're trying to hunt

Consider this:
-Rwanda land. Reminds me of Diniz, Merali
-G. Kichennin, Executive Director; I. Kichennin, Executive Director

any link with merali or just similarity in the transctions

FTGH @ 4.80

from this low ,downwards i shall take small bites of flame tree


Me too. Below 5 im a buyer. I wanted below 6. but due to the high risk profile of being a small cap im doing 5.50 to 5.00 and below. This share can quadruple someones wealth no joke.

I find it interesting how the buying price targets are similar among wazuans. in my independent analysis i want below 5. and so does @mlennyma.

Above @VVS has a target of 36 for equity.
@sparkly 35-30 for equity in kengen thread.

And mine for equity was 33, but now at below 37.00 after Q1 results.

Very interesting

@Aguy,

Consider this:
-Rwanda land. Reminds me of Diniz, Merali
-G. Kichennin, Executive Director; I. Kichennin, Executive Director
-Chair, we will expand to other sectors
-CEO, we will only grow the manufacturing and trading business where we operate.
-Ksh. 10,128,628.00 CASH is heldup in Imperial Bank (is that all?)
-And by the way, who are the auditors?


Please elaborate. Is there a merali relation or affiliation here. I need to know this


@Aguy, this is the same old story we discussed where the company bought land in Kigali for RwF 65,000,000.00 only to sell it to Bangera the CEO at a huge discount just before listing at RwF 40,000,000.00! And not on CASH basis, but payable in installments over 36 months!!!

Bangera, Faida, Imperial, PKF and Mauritius in one sentence Think Think




mind boggling.Thankyou.we sure learn every day

@Aguy - No merali connection as far as I know.

Mauritius is used as the HQ for many firms that do business in Africa thanks to their Double Taxation Agreements, English Law and easy-to-do-business environment. I think the Kichennins are what are known as 'resident' directors of the "parent" hq'd in Mauritius but HB calls the shots.

The info @PesaNane has provided has given me pause. I will look into the firm's financials further. I have to admit, I like Centum's performance under Mworia and if HB can deliver even 50% of what Mworia has done...

Caution: Manufacturing is not an easy path to take in Kenya.

RW property - Was the 65 to 40 done BEFORE the Private Placement? If it was done when he owned 100% of the firm, then it doesn't affect the 'new' shareholders except for the 3 years he has to pay back the money. Nevertheless, why was it done is something one should query. Only 12 months left before HB has to make the payments. BTW, in the grand scheme the amount isn't huge and amounts to $100,000 using RWF 650/$.

Sale-Leaseback ---> That is not a Sale-Leaseback. In a SL, the 'buyer' pays cash to the seller then gets lease payments. In this case the Buyer (HB) is paying the Seller (FTG) on a monthly basis. This was a sale by FTG to HB at a loss. Ooh... got it! good stuff...

Manufacturing - FY15 showed a profit. I expect a tough 2016-17 thanks to election season and high interest rates which dampen both construction and demand.

FMCG Acquisitions - True, sales being built up through acquisitions not organic growth. Some brands will have to be killed off. The 'advantage' is that they can have 2-3 brands in a category serving different niches but there's a cost to multiple brands. I believe MARKETING is going to be key. Look at Krackles with their 'DC' characters.

Beauty Products - This is the segment where they can do very well if they hit their stride and offer the right products at the right price. As a member of Team Mafisi, I know how good make-up, low lighting and alcohol has conned me many a time. d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

@pesanane - So far, I trust HB more than I do MM, NM or HD but thank you for the insights. I will keep my eyes and ears open.

admittedly, the chance of insane returns does exist (at the correct price) but the quality for a portfolio mainstay is another monster altogether (hence, hand at the eject button)
