I am not anaccountant which could explain the difficulty I have in understanding some ofthe numbers in the half-yearly report.
TheDirectors’ report says that “… production being significantly interrupted formost of the half-year period. This is also born out by the modest “revenue fromcustomers” of $62,827.
Againstthis is the consumption of $6,561,503 in “Materials and Consumables”. Thereport does not show any credit for “finished or semi-finished” goods. Thissuggests that some $6 million have gone up in smoke or gone to the tip.
Withlimited production, the payroll has still increased year on year by 7.5%. Aconsiderable share of the payroll would be on the manufacturing side – but thiscost again shows no tangible result.
I hopeothers can make more sense out of this than I manage.
