However an increased group operational expenditure of K109 433 million was recorded during the quarter ended 30 September 2002 compared to K91 403 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2001 which was largely attributed to exchange rate depreciation. A net operating loss of K16 652 million was incurred against the loss of K25 906 million in the quarter ended 30 September 2001. The reduction of the loss was due to the considerable increase in sales. Although there has been a significant increase in the exchange losses to K22 963 million from K6 918 million in the quarter ended 30 September 2001, the profit of K57 047million on investments had the effect of contributing to the reported profit of K10 749 million in the quarter as opposed to a loss of K33 252 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2001. The company increased its shareholding in Konkola Copper Mines plc (KCM) to 42% following the restructuring of KCM that was completed on 17 September 2002. The restructuring of KCM coupled with the disposal of Smelterco has resulted in a profit on investments of K57 047 million. During the quarter under review, Mr E Mutale, General Secretary of Mineworkers' Union of Zambia (MUZ), was appointed a Director of the Company replacing Hon D Kombe who had resigned in January 2002. Since the end of the quarter, Dr D H Kalyalya, Deputy Governor - Operations, at Bank of Zambia was appointed a Director of the Company, replacing Dr A Mwenda who resigned in December 2002. In addition Mr M Shandavu, General Manager, has gone on leave pending his retirement on 31 March 2003.
