Biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs in accordance with IAS 41, Agriculture. Included in the operating profit for 2006 is a contribution of Sh 198.8 million (2005 (restated): Sh 25.9 million) arising from the changes in the fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs for biological assets. Other principal factors contributing to the operating profit in 2006 were the recovery in the tea price and an excellent avocado performance. However the pineapple joint venture with Del Monte Kenya Limited is being wound down. The company receives the bulk of its income in foreign currencies, and the continuing strength of the shilling throughout the year had a severe impact on sales revenues measured in shillings. DIVIDEND The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year 2006 (2005: nil). ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Annual General Meeting of the company will be held on Tuesday 22 May 2007 at 12.00 noon at the Norfolk Hotel, Nairobi.
