DIRECTORS' HALF YEARLY SUMMARY
For the period ended 31st December 2006


The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are for the
six month period to 31 December 2006.  The financial results for AHC Mining
Municipal Services Limited (AHC-MMS), a discontinued operation, have not been
included in the consolidation for the period to 31 December 2006; the effect of
the discontinued operations have been highlighted in the Group Profit and Loss
account.


The ZCCM-IH Group achieved a turnover of K75,415 million during the six month
period ended 31 December 2006 compared to K81,405 million for the six months to
31 December 2005.  The group recorded operational expenditure of K68,233 during
the period under review compared to K71,602 million for the corresponding period
last year.


The results for the period, excluding the discontinued operation, are further
analysed as follows:


There was an increase in the groups turnover, from K45,241 million for the
period to 31 December 2005 to K75,415 million for the period to 31 December 2006
mainly as a result of dividends receivable of K13,267 million (K3,777 million
for the six month to December 2005) price participation income of K12,089
million (of which none was earned in the six months to 31st December 2005) and
lime sales by Ndola Lime Limited which increased from K37,199 million for the
period to 31st December 2005 to K47,091 million for the period to 31 December
2006.  In addition to product price increases, Ndola Lime experienced a 16%
increase in lime production, from the comparable six monthly period.


The increase in the cost of turnover resulting in a negative variance of K24,928
million over the 2005 corresponding period was largely attributed to increased
operating costs at Ndola Lime Company, specifically relating to an increase in
the quantity of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) consumed following exclusive use of the
rotary kiln during the period from September to December 2006.


As a result of the above, an operating profit of K7,182 million was recorded in
the period under review compared to a profit of K1,936 million in the period to
31 December 2005.


The retained loss of K171,581 million (compared to K218,591 million for the
period to December 2005) was mainly on account of exchange losses arising from
the translation of our foreign currency denominated liabilities.



                             By Order of the Board
