--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Preliminary Unconsolidated and Unaudited 2000 Results of Operations
                            of the Energy Utility CEZ

             In the first year of the fully open market, CEZ raised
                     its profits to nearly CZK 300 million

According to the preliminary results, CEZ reached a net profit of 6.7 billion
last year, an increase of CZK 0.3 billion over last year. The electricity sales
by CEZ went up by 2.8% yr/yr, with an increase in domestic sales being offset by
an increase in exports. The expected drop in domestic sales is related to the
full opening of the market for producers. This is of significant concern to CEZ,
given the benefits of the regulated price of mandatory purchase enjoyed by the
other producers and the benefits of one of the most open markets in Europe
enjoyed by importers.

"In 2002, we advanced in a four-year process of changes, leading to the
transformation of CEZ from a purely manufacturing company to a commercial and
manufacturing company," said Jaroslav Mil, the CEO and Board Chairman of CEZ,
a.s. "We are successful in coping with the pitfalls of the uneven opening of the
electricity market from the beginning of this year. Our profits have increased,
even though we reduced the electricity price for our customers within the
Rainbow Energy commercial program and thus maintained our market position. Last
year, the price reduction was almost 4 percent; this year, we further reduced
our offer by approximately 8 percent. The cornerstone of good management is, in
addition to the support of the development of the exchange rate of the Czech
crown, a constant increase in labor productivity; last year, by 14 percent, and
over the last two years, by a full 30 percent," said Jaroslav Mil.

The transformation process also involves the efforts by CEZ to transfer the
advantages of the effective generation of Rainbow Energy directly to the final
consumers. In December 2002, the Office for the Protection of Economic
Competition (UOHS) approved the interconnection of CEZ, a.s. with the regional
distribution companies, subject to restrictive conditions, which partly change
the initial resolution of the Czech government in this matter. CEZ appealed
against the UOHS's decision by reason of legal defects and the fact that the
UOHS has not yet decided on State aid. The UOHS's decision on the appeal is
still pending.

Total revenues reached CZK 59.5 billion, a yr/yr increase of CZK 1.6 billion.
Total expenses increased by CZK 2.9 billion, thanks primarily to an increase in
depreciation by CZK 2 billion in connection with putting the first unit of the
Temelin power plant into trial operation. Of primary importance to the company
and its shareholders is the continued growth in the creation of resources from
operating activities, which reached CZK 17.6 billion, and increased by CZK 1.5
billion yr/yr. On the other hand, CZK 5 billion was spent in investments. This
means that CEZ continues to earn more than it spends. This, along with an
appreciation of the Czech currency, has enabled the company to lower its
indebtedness by as much as CZK 9.4 billion.
<PAGE>

Depreciation of the Temelin power plant will significantly affect the company's
bottom line in the next years. We expect the accounting profit to decrease this
year to the level of CZK 1 billion. However, the creation of cash flow, which in
turn will be influenced positively, is of most significance to the shareholders.
It is due to the increase in free cash that the management of CEZ plans to
propose a more attractive dividend policy to the shareholders and approach the
behavior of energy utilities in Europe in this respect.
