This, like KQ and Olympia wasn't my finest investment BUT the loss is negligible in the grand scheme. Plus the recent gains in KK have more than made for it

Paper gains my friend, this could go Puma

ARM sinks deeper after Sh21.3bn factory write off

How @vvs ended up invested in a fraud company with KES 2.4B negative equity shows that no investor is safe in the NSE streets


Zee vultures are inviting friends to finish ARM completely....


The true financial position of ARM remains sketchy and the administrators have appointed Knight Frank Limited to undertake a comprehensive valuation of the company’s hard assets.


The whole Tanzania Factory written off? Valueless? Does that mean that Paunrana walks away with the TZ Factory while creditors are left to share the Kenya Assets?

What I have gathered so far but subject to verification.

ARM (KE) [the parent] had lent Maweni (TZ) money to build the factory and secure mining leases.
Maweni was unable to service the loans to ARM (KE) so ARM (KE) converted the debt to equity.

Similar stuff happened with KQLC in KQ, GoK in KPLC and KenGen, Suppliers in Uchumi.

The Parent may have written it off on its books but the Child is not "debt-free" to the same extent. As a family, they are no worse off except for the real losses due to depreciation, low production, cashflow outlfows, etc.

I doubt that is the case or if it will happen any time soon. I'm waiting for trading to restart, so that I may buy a few in the panic and confusion. ARM is not a Hutchings Biemer,Im sure it will survive, even EverReady is still in the race.

@HaMaina have you been following the ARM saga. It’s currently the worst loss making firm in East and Central Africa with negative equity in excess of that by KQ

That's what is making it such a sweet fruit, it will ripen by itself when all the others are either overripe, stale or rotten and everyone holding on to them just wants to sell out but no buyers.

But how will they do it without a firm financial turnaround plan, in a market controlled by Bamburi

Never says never with KQ. I recall when KK had the largest loss ever at 6bn but KQ said we can beat that and lost 10bn or so!
KK, even at its worst, did not have negative equity but KQ...

Back to ARM, it's academic for me. I don't expect to get anything back after PwC have sucked it dry but if I do, it's pure profit.
