To : President

Re : Submission of financial statements for the 2nd quarter of
2001 and explanation on the difference over 20 per cent
from the same period last year.
Enclosures : Financial statements for the 2nd quarter of 2001
We are sending you herewith the enclosed financial statement
of the Company and the consolidated statement of the group for the
2nd quarter of 2001 ended 30th June 2001, which were reviewed by
both the Auditor and our Audit Committee.
The operating result of the group for this 2nd quarter of
2001 is a profit of Baht455 million, higher than the profit of the
same period last year by 35percent. The increase of our profitability
is the direct result of the increase over 15% of our sales revenues
over the same period of last year. The additional revenues came
from an increase in volume of business, from the increase of our
airtime rates during the evening slots, which was effective since
last October, and from the BEC-Tero's revenues from movie and shows.
Furthermore, during this quarter of last year the group also incurred
loss on covering the European Championship Football Matches (the
EURO200), thus the profit of the group improved a lot.
Please be informed accordingly.
Sincerely Yours,
(Chatchai Thiamtong)
Vice President - Finance
