Fairfax Africa Holdings Corporation
Second Quarter Financial Results - Seite 2
- Net loss of $4.2 million included a net change in unrealized losses on investments of $10.9 million, principally from decreases in the market price of the company's investment in Atlas Mara
common shares ($7.3 million), GroCapital Holdings common shares ($6.8 million), its indirect equity interest in AGH ($6.0 million) and CIG common shares ($3.2 million), partially offset by
unrealized gains on the Nova Pioneer Bonds ($4.2 million), Philafrica common shares ($3.3 million), CIG loan ($2.2 million) and net foreign exchange gains of $5.8 million reflecting a strengthening
of the South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
