Ref. T. 21/1999 17 May 1999 To: The President The Stock Exchange of Thailand Re: Change of Operating Results BJC notifies the Group recorded a 63 percent increase in net income despite marginally lower sales, reflecting some restoration of historical margins and the absence of foreign exchange volatility. Additionally, net income was assisted by the Company's increased share in Thai Glass Industries Industries Public Company Limited and the lower level of net gearing.
