Samuel Ng’ang’a, Group Finance Manager, said that, “We are not immune to the prevailing tough economic environment, hence the 22% drop in profitability, however it is noteworthy that our core business of real estate performed very well, with 9 months gross profitability in real estate up by over 113%, to Kshs. 610.3 million from Kshs. 286.4 million for the same period last year. The drag in pre tax profit is mainly due to significant drops in our investments in equities, which dropped in line with equities market performance.”
