Ref. CSI. 49/2001 14 November 2001 To: The President The Stock Exchange of Thailand Re: Change of Operating Results BJC notifies consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2001 was Baht 167.4 million, representing a 40% increase from the third quarter of 2000. Consolidated sales revenues for the third quarter of 2001 were Baht 2,838 million, an increase of 11% over the comparative period in 2000. Consumer, Packaging and Technical businesses have all enjoyed sales increases in the third quarter of 2001 compared with the same period last year. The Group's gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2001 at 26.4% was an improvement over the 25.6% gross profit margin realized in the third quarter of 2000. In aggregate, our margins have benefited from increased capacity utilisation in our packaging and tissue paper businesses and from lower raw material and energy costs.
