NOTE 16. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes are calculated on all temporary differences under the liability method using a
principal tax rate of 30% (2001 - 35%).
 
The movement in the deferred income tax account is as follows:
         
    Group Company
    2002   2001   2002   2001
At beginning of year                
- as previously reported   (5,225)   6,921   (5,226)   6,920
- prior year adjustment     (13,661)     (13,661)
As restated   (5,225)   (6,740)   (5,226)   (6,741)
Income statement charge (Note 5)   2,522   1,515   2,522   1,515
At end of year   (2,703)   (5,225)   (2,704)   (5,226)
               
               
The prior year adjustment in 2001 was in respect of the deferred tax asset arising on Investment Tax Allowances which had not been previously recognised in the financial statements having been recognised on the completion of the 150K project and on the assumption that there would be no large scale investment projects in the foreseeable future.

The following amount is shown in the Balance Sheet:
         
    Group Company
    2002   2001   2002   2001
               
Deferred tax asset   (14,273)   (19,419)   (14,273)   (19,419)
