Unipetrol released its H1 2001 IAS results yesterday after local trading hours; net profit amounted to CZK 1.6 bil (vs. CZK 2.4 bil in H1 2000). The figures have little relevance as the market works with CAS standards (these were released in July and were rather disappointing, mostly due to Chemopetrol’s and Kaucuk’s performance deterioration). Neutral.
