Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Precious Woods was able to achieve a significant improvement of the consolidated results for the first half of 2004 compared to the same period of the prior year. The net sales of timber products increased by 53% from USD 3.9 million to USD 5.9 million. Net profit for the first half increased by 66% from USD 820 thousand to USD 1.362 million. The equity ratio was 76% at the end of June 2004 (compared to 77% in June 2003 and 75% in December 2003). As the backlog for FSC certified timber is excellent at the end of the first half, Precious Wood is confident to achieve a significantly improved result for the full year.
Precious Woods is active in the sustainable management of tropical forests and has been listed on the SWX Swiss Exchange since March 2002. Details can be found in the shareholder letter, which has been mailed to all registered shareholders and published on the web at www.preciouswoods.com.
