Final Dividend 2001

Ajusted earnings per share for the year 30 September 2001 were 3.7p. The board intended to recommend a final dividend, but the effect of the goodwill impairment review on the company's reserves is to make it technically impossible for ITE to pay such a dividend. The board has therefore resolved to seek the approval of shareholders at the forthcoming AGM, for a reduction of capital intended to allow the company to resume paying dividends at a level which the board hopes will compensate for this year's missed final dividend.
