Waarschoot, 9 November 2006. The fresh food group Ter Beke,
producer of fresh ready meals and processed meats, confirms after the third
quarter the prospects expressed for 2006
Update 3rd quarter 2006
At the end of the third quarter of 2006, the turnover and results of the Ter
Beke Group are of such a nature that the prospects expressed when the half-year
results were published can be confirmed.
Unless there is a deterioration of the market environment, this means that the

costs of the merger of the Processed Meats Division with Pluma, that the results
for the full year 2006 will equal the results of 2005.
