OPERATING RESULT FOR THE YEAR 2001

Re: Submission of financial statements for the year 2001.
Enclosures: Financial statements for the year 2001.
We are sending you herewith the enclosed financial statement
of the Company and the consolidated financial statement of the Company
and its subsidiary companies for the year ended 31st December 2001,
which have been audited by our auditor, reviewed by our audit committee
and certified by our board of directors.
The consolidated operating result of the Company and its subsidiary
companies for the year 2001 is a net profit of Baht 1,542 million
almost equal to that of the previous year. This is even after recognizing
the net loss of "CVD", our associated company according to our holding
percentage, of over Baht 43 million. The Company and its subsidiary
companies were able to increase revenue from other entertainment
activities and services to almost two folds, but the declining of
advertising expenditure especially around the end-tail of the year
had caused our adverting income barely at the previous year's level
and the profitability of such other activities and services are not
as high as advertising income therefore the increase of profit made
earlier in the first half of the year disappeared.
Please be informed accordingly.
Sincerely Yours,
(Chatchai Thiamtong)
Vice President - Finance
