 LOMO PLC summed up the results of the second quarter of 2004.
   The second quarter of the current year the enterprise finished more successful than the first.
   Revenues (net) from the sale of goods, products, works, services (less value-added tax, excises and similar mandatory payments) increased nearly in 1,5 times and reached  355 million rubles for the period from April to June of 2004 in comparison  with 249 million roubles for the first three months of this year.

Income from sales amounted to 79 million roubles (in the first quarter of 2004 loss from sales was 49 million roubles).
   Low volumes of sales traditionally characterize the beginning of the year in many industrial enterprises. The point is that signing of big state contracts on supplying of defence and civic products takes place in the period by the end of March. Profit from them will appear later.

Besides, taking into account the peculiarity of differences in taxation and balance sheet, the firm had delayed tax liabilities in sum of nearly 41 million roubles. So, from the point of view of balance sheet, the net loss for the first quarter amounted to 127,5 million roubles.
