Financial Summary
Grupo Industrial Maseca is engaged in the production, distribution, and sale of corn flour used in the preparation of tortillas and related products. For the six month ended 6/30/01, revenues fell 8% to Ps2.32 billion. Net income before U.S. GAAP fell 7% to Ps169.8 million. Revenues reflect lower bulk sales due to the availability of cheap corn, lower sales to DICONSA, and lower corn prices. Net income was partially offset by a better cost-to-selling-price ratio.
