The revenue profile of the company showed broad based strength with total revenue and gains posting a 20.59 percent increase to reach 9.23 billion rupees.

The corporate management demonstrated disciplined control over administrative and general expenses which only rose by 10.98 percent to 275.93 million rupees a rate significantly lower than the revenue expansion.

In total the operating expenses for At Tahur Limited increased by a moderate 9.65 percent to 1.38 billion rupees.

Notably the levy charge for the period saw a significant reduction of 27.22 percent falling to 39.11 million rupees. This resulted in a profit before taxation of 487.16 million rupees reflecting a strong 35.62 percent surge over the previous year.
