LJUBLJANA, May 12 (Reuters) - Slovenia's Krka  KRKG.LJ  
reported a first-quarter group net profit of 40.2 million euros, 
down 27 percent from a year earlier, the generic drugs producer 
said on Thursday. 
    It said the fall was partly due to the negative impact of 
currency exchange versus the first quarter of 2015.  
    Sales rose to 300.9 million euros from 289.3 million, it 
said.
