COMMENTARY
1 Financial and operational overview
Turnovers have decreased by 8.7% for the periods ended 31 December 2005 to 31
December 2006. This is due to the cancellation of unfavorable contracts with
supermarkets.
The gross profit margin for the 6 month period ended December 2006 decreased
from 36% to 26%, compared to December 2005. This is mainly due operating
expenses that were reclassified to cost of sales. The gross profit margin would
have been 40% if expenses were not reallocated to cost of sales.
Net profit decreased due to restructuring costs such as retrenchment packages.
Milk powder prices increased and due to fixed contract prices the final product
prices could not be recouped.
2 Prospects
The company will introduce new product lines (milk based products) that should
increase turnovers and to minimise the seasonality effect of the ice-cream
trade. This is in line with the board`s previous decision to diversify its
product lines.
Due to the closure of the Alrode depot (a loss making segment) and retrenchments
in the group, the overall financial situation of the company will improve during
the next 6 months.
The company is looking at replacing all milk powders with fresh milk which will
be more cost effective for the group and enable the company to produce other
milk based products. Very little capital expenditure is required as most of the
equipment is already in place.
The company will open concept stores to increase turnover and profitability
supplying milk-based products and ice cream directly to the public.
3 Accounting policies
The accounting policies of the company comply in all material respects with
International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act of 1973. The
accounting policies and methods of measurement and recognition are consistent
with those applied in the previous financial period.
During the year under review the method of calculating the carrying value of
fixed assets was changed in that the estimated residual values of the asset was
taken into account and remaining useful life of assets were reassessed.
4 Dividends
No dividends were recommended or declared for the interim period.
