SAB profits are up - Brief Article

Modern Brewery Age, Nov 25, 2002

SABMiller is likely to report a jump in half-year profits next week, boosted by its purchase of Miller Brewing Company, a stable South African beer market and stronger rand. On the downside, analysts remain skeptical of the group's ability to turn around Miller. Miller is likely to account for around 36 percent of group profits in a full year, but analysts note that Miller's U.S.

share continues to slip.
