It predicted an industry recovery beginning in the third quarter. Operating profit for the full year fell to 100,000 euros ($87,000) from 12.7 million euros in 2000, the company said in a statement to the Frankfurt exchange. Sales rose 50 percent to 426.8 million euros. ``We expect a restrained first half year,'' CE Consumer said. ``Afterwards the demand in the semiconductor market will rise significantly.''
