OVERVIEW:

 

Your Company recorded a pre-tax profit of Ksh 664 Million (2022: Ksh 1,221.6 Million). The pre-tax profit drop is mainly attributed to a Ksh 354 Million pre-tax loss from our macadamia operations (2022: Ksh 635 Million Profit). However, the avocado operations performed well, recording a pre-tax profit of Ksh1.4 Billion (2022: Ksh 0.8 Billion).

  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF KAKUZI PLC

Opinion

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Kakuzi Plc and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, are derived from the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023.

In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements of the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Capital Markets (Securities) (Public Offers, Listings and Disclosures) Regulation, 2002 (''the Regulations'') as applicable to summary financial statements

?Condensed consolidated financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by the International Financial Reporting Standards as applicable to annual financial statements. Reading the condensed consolidated financial statements and the auditors' report thereon, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited financial statements of the Group and the auditors' report thereon.

The audited financial statements and our report thereon

We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the audited financial statements in our report dated 19 March 2024. That report also includes the communication of a key audit matter related to measurement of biological assets. Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgement were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period.

Auditors' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in accordance with International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 810 (Revised), Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements.

The engagement partner responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is CPA Fredrick Okwiri, Practicing Certificate No. 169
