Dear Sir,
Re: Report of Group's Operating Results
BJC would like to notify that our consolidated net income for the second
quarterof 2006 was Baht 289.9 million, representing a 11 percent increase
from the second quarter of 2005. The increase of net income for the second
quarter of 2006 was due to profit after tax in gain on disposal of share
investment and transfer of loan and interest payable in related parties
amounting to Baht 131.3 million.
Net income for the first half-year of 2006 was Baht 464.3 million,
representing a 24 percent decrease from the same period in 2005. The decline
of net income for the first half-year of 2006 was due to the decrease of
gross margin to 25 percent compared to 29 percent for the same period of 2005,
coupled with increasing selling expenses resulting from higher price of
fuel and raw materials and also the higher interest expenses due to
business expansion of the Group and increasing interest rates.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Berli Jucker Public Company Limited
Thirasakdi Nathikanchanalab
President
