The apparent reduction in turnover over the two quarters was as a result of the effect of the appreciation of the kwacha on the turnover of Ndola Lime Limited (a 100% subsidiary) which is dollar-denominated. In addition, AHC Mining Municipal Services Limited (AHC MMS) a wholly owned subsidiary of the company and a discontinued operation, was not consolidated into the group. The Group operational expenditure was K25,146 million compared to K39,473 million last year. A net retained loss of K51,088 million was recorded in the quarter, compared to last year's loss of K24,615 million. The loss reported was mainly on account of the exchange movements. During the quarter, investments increased by K 52,934 million (US$15 million), being the second and final investment installment into the Lumwana Copper Mine through a purchase of some 7% equity stake in Equinox Minerals Limited The transfer of AHC MMS, during the last quarter has had a significant impact on the Group's current consolidated financial figures. Its shareholding was finally transferred to the respective district councils on the Copperbelt on 19 January 2006. Consequently, any comparison with last year's figures needs to take this into account. Subsequent to the quarter end, Dr B Nsemukila, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Energy and Water Development and Mr O M Munyenyemba, General Secretary of the Mineworkers' Union of Zambia, were appointed as Directors of the Company replacing Messrs G P Mukala and E Mutale respectively, who retired.
