FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
37
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW (CONTD)
Revenue is not comparable with prior year as
it was only an eight month period, but it is
anticipated that it will increase by 19
compared with the 2001 financial
year Twenty two (22) inspectors were
appointed during the current year which will
result in an increase in revenue due to more
permits being purchased, or as a result of
the law enforcement process Operating costs
increase by 18 compared with the 2001 year as
a result of appointing the inspectors. This is
however compensated by the increase in revenue.
