Unipetrol’s audited consolidated 2001 CAS net profit, net of minority interest, reached CZK 2.2 bil. vs. the previously announced unaudited CZK 1.5 bil. The difference was due to released provisions and deferred tax.
Unipetrol's consolidated Q1 net profit, net of minority interest, was CZK -0.196 bil.; we had projected CZK -0.218 bil. The stock did not react to the earnings report.
