Profit after tax for the half year period was reported at Rs. 3.704 Billion, as against Rs. 2.610 Billion for the corresponding period last year. This reflects an improvement of 42 percent, despite a significant tax impact considered in the current period on account of recent changes enacted to tax laws.
