Bonuses awarded to employees in the 2009 financial year were only paid in the 2010 financial year. The 2010 bonus provision was included in this amount and would only be payable in the current year. This was why no provision for bonuses was shown in the previous year's financial statements. Mr Maharaj explained that there were a few reasons why employee costs and director emoluments increased in the past year. One reason was that the number of staff had doubled over the past year. Secondly, it was the first time that bonuses were paid. There were also pro rata costs included in the total amount.
