CHAIRMANS STATEMENT INTERIM RESULTS
I am very pleased to announce the unaudited interim results for the six months
ending on the 31st August 2006.
Highlights - figures comparative to first six months of financial year 2005.
Turnover - increased to £396,353 from £294,459 an increase of 34%
Pre-tax operating profit - increased to £107,394 from £4,760 an increase of
2256%
Net current assets - increased to £600,526 from £113,407 an increase of 529%
Stones recovered - increased to 6,650 from 5,576 an increase of 20%
Carats produced - increased to 4,391 from 3,276 an increase of 34%
Average stone size - increased from €59 carats to €66 carats an increase of 12%
Grade i.e. carats per 100 tons - increased from 23cpht to 28cpht an increase of
22%
This production has been achieved despite the worst rainstorm since records
began which occurred in March. Many of our areas were severely flooded and
access tracks washed away. Part of the East Saltztal is still flooded but the
water is gradually evaporating. We estimate that a further 3,000 carats might
remain on this particular resource but mainly under water. We intend therefore
to carry out a sampling programme on the Annatal just north of the East Saltztal
where past records show that stones of between €25 and 1 carats were recovered
in the early 1900's. We will return to the East Saltztal when the sampling
programme is complete. It is encouraging to note that carat production for the
first six months of this financial year is only 533 carats less than for the
whole of the financial year ended on 28th February 2006.
Costs - for the first six months have been contained overall in spite of a large
increase in diesel price.
Staff - the company have paid particular attention to staff welfare and safety.
A modern kitchen and dining room is provided with food of very high quality.
Satelite television is provided as well as pool and darts. All employees are
provided with bedding, overalls, hard hats, anoraks, jumpers and gloves.
Weatherproof accommodation, shower and toilet facilities as well as laundry
facilities are provided.
The board looks forward to further progress being made in the second half of
this year.
