However, due to poor commodity market fundamentals and the subsequent charge for the impairment of assets, an increased group operational expenditure of K200 594 million was recorded during the quarter ended 30 June 2002. Consequently, a net loss of K230 069 million was incurred against the previous quarter loss of K66 086 million. The Company increased its shareholding in Konkola Copper Mines plc (KCM), to 42% following the exit of Anglo American Corporation, the International Finance Corporation, and CDC Capital Partners, as per the restructuring of KCM that was completed on 17 September 2002. Since the end of the quarter under review, Mr D S Diangamo and Dr A C J Sichinga, Secretary to the Treasury - Ministry of Finance and National Planning, and Permanent Secretary - Ministry of Energy and Water Development, respectively, have replaced Mr B Nonde and Ms J Mapoma, on the Company Board of Directors.
