Notes

  1. The Companys Profit Before Tax at Rs. 25.10 Crores (inclusive of Divided Income of Rs. 7.79 Crores, which in the preceding year had been received during the second quarter) was higher than that of the first quarter of the Previous Year by 23%. However operating income for the quarter ended June 30,2002 was 4 % lower as compared to the corresponding period of the preceding year due to the continued slowdown in the organised retail market for branded teas and lower CTC tea prices in auctions which have fallen by around 21% since January this year.
  2. Gross expenditure incurred during the quarter was 3% lower than the expenditure incurred during the corresponding quarter of the preceding year due to stringent cost controls and improved labour productivity in the plantations.
  3. Figures of the quarter ended June 30,2001 and financial year ended March 31,2002 have been regrouped to make them comparable.
  4. The aforementioned results were taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 30, 2002.
  5. The strong performance of The Tetley Group Ltd (the Companys 98.59% subsidiary, the results of which are not incorporated in these accounts) has continued in the first quarter of the current year with a sales growth of 10% and EBIT growth of 5% over the first quarter of the previous year.
