    OVERVIEW: 
 
    The above is an extract from the financial statements which have 
    been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting 
    Standards (IFRS) and audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified 
    Public Accountants of Kenya, and on which an unqualified opinion 
    has been issued. 
 
    The improved profit is considered satisfactory and was driven to 
    some extent by the weather conditions as well as favourable market 
    demand for our main export products. Avocado was dominant in returns 
    but tea and forestry made useful contribution to profits. The weakening 
    Kenya Shilling also worked in our favour as well as the fact that 
    we could take advantage of high interest rates with our strong 
    cash position. 
 
    DIVIDEND: 
 
    The Directors recommend the payment of a first and final dividend 
    for the financial year 2015 of Shs 5.00 per stock unit (2014: Shs 
    3.75) subject to shareholders approval. The dividend shall be paid 
    on or about 30 June 2016 to the shareholders on the members' register 
    at the close of business on Tuesday, 31 May 2016. 
 
    ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: 
 
    The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Tuesday 
    17 May 2016 at 12.00 Noon at Nairobi Serena Hotel. 
 
    BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
