Subject : Submission of Financial Statements for the quarter 1/2004
To : Director and Manager
Stock Exchange of Thailand
Enclosed please find the consolidated Financial Statements
of Siam Makro Public Company Limited for the first quarter ended March
31, 2004 which have been reviewed by the Company's auditor.
For the first quarter of 2004, the Company's profit before
income tax was Baht 321 million, 24.6% over the same quarter last year.
Net profit after tax was Baht 225 million, 18.5% growth over the same
period last year. On March 31, 2004 we have opened our new store 24
in Sakon Nakhon province, which received favorable response from our
customers in Sakon Nakhon and the provinces nearby.
The higher profit was attributed mainly to the 16.5% increase
in sales as the result of continuous growing in food sales and the opening
of 3 new stores in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Chiang Rai and Sakon Nakhon.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Siam Makro Public Company Limited

(Mrs. Suchada Ithijarukul)
