The Company's profit in Q3/2000 increase from Q3/1999 more than 20%
because in Q3/2000 the company had loss on foreign exchange of 118 million Baht which
decrease from Q3/1999 by approximately 62 million Baht. Should we exclude the exchange loss
and provision for losses on loan , the profit before tax of Q3/2000 would be 209 million Baht
which increase from Q3/1999 by approximately 57 million Baht or 37%. This is due to higher
rental and service income mainly received from the Central Plaza Rachada Rama 3, Central
Plaza Lardprao, Central Plaza Pinklao and Central Festival Center Pattaya.
