The financial result of the company for the first six months is profit to the amount of BGN 5.45 mln., as only for the second quarter the profit amounts to BGN 4.1 mln., which is close to the financial result for the second quarter of 2007 (excluding the effect of the extraordinary incomes for the same period of the previous year).

The reported results for the first six months support the management’s forecast, announces in the beginning on this year, for a profit growth on consolidated basis with approximately 20 % compared to 2007. Irrespective of the indications for worsening the market situation in the beginning of the second half of the year, the company’s management still considers that the prognosticated consolidated incomes’ growth on annual basis is achievable. I t is possible that the reduced consumption in the ceramics and construction fields impose negative influence over the expected sales amount.
   
It is to be noted that by the present moment, except for the incomes growth, the company manages to support the operative results level in spite of the sharp increase of the electricity cartridge and the expenses for transportation and logistics services.
