section 87, the company has already allotted share capital, it shall, within fourteen
days after the registration, lodge with the Registrar a statement of capital that
complies with subsection (3).
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if the information that would be included in
the statement has already been included in a notice lodged with the Registrar in—
(a) a statement of capital and initial shareholdings; or
(b) a statement of capital contained in an annual return.
(3) A statement of capital complies with this subsection if it states with respect
to the company's share capital on registration of the conversion—

(b) the aggregate nominal value of those shares;
(c) for each class of shares—
(i) the prescribed particulars (if any) of the rights attached to the
shares;
(ii) the total number of shares of that class; and
(iii) the aggregate nominal value of shares of that class; and
(d) the amount paid up and the amount (if any) unpaid on each share,
whether on account of the nominal value of the share or in the form
of a premium.
(4) If a company fails to comply with subsection (1), the company, and each
officer of the company who is in default, commit an offence and on conviction are
each liable to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings.
(5) If, after a company or any of its officers is convicted of an offence under
subsection (4), the company continues to fail to lodge a statement of capital with the
