East African Cables reported a loss of 1.09billion shillings for 2015
The firm, which makes cables for the utility and
telecoms industries and households, said
disruptions to output as it upgrades a factory in
Kenya, as well as foreign exchange losses and
depressed demand due to political uncertainty
all hurt its performance for the year.
It posted a pretax profit of 507.5 million shillings
in 2014. Revenue dropped to 3.7 billion shillings
from 5 billion in 2014, the company said.
It posted a loss per share of 2.21 shillings from
positive 1.16 shillings in 2014.
The company directors did not recommend a
dividend payment.

@newfarer, please correct me if am wrong. am thinking anyone in the business of cooking books would have left this bit out (unless they were obligated to provision it) and declared a smaller loss.

It means that long ago cables sold or pretended to have sold 300m plus worth of goods. It is now apparent that the client won't pay up so we have to do the needful and write it off. It is a jungle out there.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

And just like that 300M has gone up in smoke.

OK... Bad thing over 300M could be lost. The upside... Some truth coming to light. Aggressive debt recovery efforts can salvage some of it am sure
