Wednesday, 3rd February 1999 First operating profit The directors of Evergreen Forests Limited report the company's first operating profit from harvesting activities for the six months to 31st December 1998, when a profit of $890,000 was achieved. This compares with the previous corresponding period loss of $186,000. A fully underwritten zero coupon convertible note issue which will raise $21.9 million (announced today) will enable Evergreen to continue its growth and to enhance its ability to maximise long-term profitability by selling into stronger markets. Harvesting began in late September in Northland at close to projected production rates and the directors note that the Company's entry into harvesting and log marketing has been achieved profitably, by targeting areas containing a high proportion of pruned logs. Subject to market conditions, our present plans are to sell almost twice as much timber in the second half of the year although because it had been intended to start the harvest before September, sales for the full year may be below the level previously anticipated. As noted in the 1998 Annual Report, the Company expects to record a modest profit for the year ended 30th June 1999. The market for pruned logs eased slightly during the period although offsetting this was a return of demand for unpruned logs in traditional export markets, such as Korea and Japan, suggesting that the worst of the Asian downturn is now over. The lifting of a United States injunction against imports of New Zealand timber is also very encouraging. Recovery in both domestic and Australian economies will also support increasing demand. Turnover for the six months was $2.4 million (1997 $222,000), and while modest, recognises the Company's changing status from an investor concentrating on capital value growth to an investor and producer with increasing revenues.
