OPERATING RESULTS Q3/2001 - CPN
TRANSLATION
The Company's profit in Q3/2001 increase from Q3/2000 more than 20% because
in Q3/2000 the company had loss on foreign exchange of 118 million Baht. Should we
exclude the exchange loss, the profit before tax of Q3/2001 increase from Q3/2000 by
approximately 76 million Baht or 36%. This is due to higher rental and service income
mainly received from the Central Plaza Lardprao, Central Plaza Pinklao, Central Festival
Center Pattaya and Central Plaza Rachada Rama 3 and significant decrease in interest
expenses from partial repayment of debt principal.
