HONGKONG (September 16): HUTCHISON International dumped an arithmetical time-bomb in the laps of the financial community with the announcement of their first consolidated figures.
The trading 'hong' produced net after tax group profits of $176,844,000 for the year ended March 31, compared with chairman Sir Douglas Clague's well-informed 'guesstimate' of $138,200,000 in his annual report covering the previous year when no audited consolidated profits were available.
