Operation costs consumed 98% of the hy earnings
i.e out of the total hy income of kshs 10,295,142000 operation costs consumed kshs 10,073,920.This left a profit margin of 1%.This must improve going forward for the company to be healthy.

Wheat - Very little is grown locally vs (growing) demand. Plus local wheat tends to be pricier than imports.
Maize - You know the story. Local production < Demand
Soybeans - Same as wheat. Most local soybeans are of poor quality. Cheaper to import from India.

Seaboard supplies raw materials but Unga says they get a good deal coz of Seaboard's buying power as well as good credit terms.

Yes, those margins are low but there isn't much pricing power for a politically sensitive FMCG.
2016-17 will be awful with the drought, elections, high interest costs and broke retailers e.g. Nakumatt, Uchumi, etc. Ennsvalley has closed stores (in Nakumatt) and there may be write-offs of fixtures & equipment plus costs of layoffs.

@vvs @guru used to worship this share

"worship" Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly At least they had a starting point of analysing stocks.

😂😂😂 @Spikes - I don't really bother with you-know-who coz he pumps and dumps as well as gets paid to pump. Some of us buy value, are patient, realize investing isn't a straight line and even make mistakes but sleep at night.

No negative equity firms in my portfolio. No continuously loss-making firms. Speed bumps have slowed some down. Election anxiety, interest caps, crazy GoK borrowing, etc.
I have TPSEA which has made losses in the recent past but it will probably be fine after it completes the expansion of Nairobi Serena.
Unga: 2016-17 is going to be awful. 2017 may be little better if we don't have rain & elections aren't peaceful.
Williamson/Kapchorua: Tough times. I expect a loss for 2016-17 but if it rains a-plenty (& no PEV) then a profit for 2017-18.
I&M: 2017 is going to be challenging but good management has a plan for 2017 to stay profitable.
Equity: A drop in 2016 profits but measures are in place to grow/maintain profits.

At some point I realized that I should start with quality management. Or don't even bother. I wish I had realized that sooner in KQ or when Segman gambled with hedges. Next time, a sniff & I bail.

@VVS Unga is a well managed firm but I feel the company is trading way above its intrinsic value.

@Sparkly - I disagree but that's what makes a market! The 2016-18 period will be tough.
I have more than doubled my money in Unga since 2009 but that's not relevant. Today and going forward is. I have made mistakes by not bailing out when circumstances changed e.g. KK and KQ. I don't want to make the same mistake in any of the others.

Please tell me why you think it trades above intrinsic value? What do you think the intrinsic value is?
A friend and analyst warned me about KQ and I didn't listen coz I was "blind" and I don't want my hubris to be a cause of consternation later on!

The premium above intrinsic value is for the quality management. It's a rare commodity in this market.

KQ was doing well untill the fatal decision to bring KLM on board.Then things started going down.KLM benefited greatly while KQ bled.Even now when KQ is at its deathbed,KLM is benefiting.
Seaboard Corporation helped turn unga into profitability in early 2000s.But i hope they dont turn into parasites which will suck Unga into its deathbed.

The company is good at preserving cash.This is seen in the cash at the beginning of the period vs cash at the end of the period.
They managed to make a positive position from their operations but made negative from their investing activities.Net increase in cash and cash equivalent at negative 8,769,000 is not bad which is then positively balanced by a good cash reserve.
Going to the fy results in october,based on the hy results,i dont see a loss.Net increase in cash and cash equivalent will negatively increase but the cashflow will remain positive.

There's a good chance of a loss (or significantly reduced PAT) for FY 2016-17 due to the various challenges eg maize shortage, Nakumatt/Uchumi non-payments and write-offs at Ennsvalley.
