As of August 31, 2007, Kagisano had total assets of ZAR 182.5 million (USD 23.8 million), of which ZAR 119.5 million (USD 15.6 million) is listed as loans and advances. Calculated from financial statements, its return on assets was 1.75 percent and its debt/equity ratio was 68.6 percent. As for its credit rating, Kagisano does not report a third party performance evaluation of operations to the MIX Market, the microfinance information clearinghouse.
