The financial results of the Group were satisfactory but there is considerable room for improvement. Turnover increased by over 20% compared to the previous year, amounting to over Rs. 5.2 billion. Net profit improved to Rs. 480 million, a very significant increase from the prior year. However, this figure includes an extraordinary gain of Rs. 158 million from the sale of shares in Asia Capital Ltd. Profit contributions to the Group from our Associate companies amounted to Rs. 193 million which was an increase of 99% from the previous year. |
