Commenting on corporate performance, Chairman, Lord Ashcroft, KCMG, said: 
 
 
"Financial Services operating income continues to be affected by the weak 
economic environment in our countries of operation where there are no signs of a 
recovery in the short term. Operating income is down principally due to interest 
reversals on non-performing loans" 
 
"The Company's share of our associate Numar's income was $5.0 million compared 
with $6.3 million in 2008 principally as a result of lower prevailing market 
prices in the palm oil market" 
 
 
"Earnings per share of $0.13 is down due to lower earnings and the dilutive 
effect of the shares issued on the acquisition of Cockleshell Limited in May 
2009"
