We have audited the accompanying 2007 consolidated financial statements of AB Snaige and its subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group) which comprise the balance sheets as at 31 December 2007, the statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes (comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes).
The Company's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as set forth by the International Federation of Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide the basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined, had we been able to obtain sufficient audit evidence regarding the matters described in section Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph (a) above, and except for the matters described in section Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraphs (b) to (d) above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2007, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.
Without further qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to the fact that, considering the effect of the matters described in section Basis for Qualified Opinion, as of 31 December 2007 the current liabilities of the Group exceeded its current assets by LTL 20,390 thousand; furthermore, in 2007 and 2006 the Group operated with losses. These reasons indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. As management of the Group has discussed in Note 30, the Group has taken steps to secure financing of the Group's operations; therefore, no adjustments have been made in these financial statements related to this material uncertainty.
At the end of our audit the management was still drafting the Management Report, therefore in this report we could not present our assessment of the Management Report.

As of 31 December 2007 the number of employees of the Group was 2,479 (as of 31 December 2006 - 2,265).
The Group's management authorised these financial statements on 11 April 2008. The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not to approve them and request that the management prepares a new set of financial statements.
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the Group's financial statements for 2007 are as follows:
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU).
The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC (International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee) interpretations during the year. Adoption of these revised standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group. They did however give rise to additional disclosures:
The principal effects of these changes are as follows:
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. This standard requires disclosures that enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the significance of the Group's financial instruments and the nature and extent of risks arising from those financial instruments. The new disclosures are included throughout the financial statements. While there has been no effect on the financial position or results, comparative information has been revised where needed.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This amendment requires the Group to make new disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. These new disclosures are presented in Note 28.
IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies". This interpretation provides guidance on how to apply the requirements of IAS 29 in a reporting period in which an entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency, when that economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior period. The interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2. This interpretation requires IFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangements in which the entity cannot identify specifically some or all of the goods received, in particular where equity instruments are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. As equity instruments are not issued to employees, the interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. IFRIC 9 states that the date to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date that an entity first becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows. The interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. The Group adopted IFRIC Interpretation 10 as at 1 January 2007, which requires that an entity must not reverse an impairment loss recognised in a previous interim period in respect of goodwill or an investment in either an equity instrument or a financial asset carried at cost. As the Group had no impairment losses previously reversed, the interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
The Group has not applied the following IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
IFRIC 14 IAS 19 - The Limit on Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 once adopted by the EU). This interpretation specifies the conditions for recognising a net asset for a defined benefit pension plan.
Under the condition that the standards and interpretations have been endorsed by the European Commission, the Group intends to adopt these IFRSs and IFRIC in the period they become effective.
The Group expects that the adoption of the pronouncements listed above will have no significant impact on the Group's financial statements in the period of initial application, except for IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Revised and IAS 23 Borrowing costs - Revised.
This standard sets out new requirements on the presentation of the statement of changes in equity and introduces a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expense recognised in profit or loss together with "other comprehensive income" and requires a separate disclosure of all items reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit and loss as well as disclosure of the income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income. Also, requirements related to the presentation of the financial statements in a case of their retrospective restatement are amended and new terminology, replacing "balance sheet" with "statement of financial position" and "cash flow statement" with "statement of cash flows", although the titles are not obligatory, is introduced. The Group is still estimating the impact of the adoption of this revision.
Currently all borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. The revised standard requires borrowing costs to be capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. In accordance with the transitional requirements of the Standard, the Group will adopt this as a prospective change. When the Group adopts this standard, borrowing costs related to qualifying assets will be capitalised. The Group is still estimating the impact of the adoption of this revision.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 are prepared under the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern.
The Group's financial statements are presented in local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, Litas (LTL), which is the Company's functional and the Group's and Company's presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the foreign currency exchange rate currency ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
The functional currency of the foreign operations Techprominvest OOO, Moroz Trade OOO and Liga Servis OOO is Russian rouble (RUB) and of Snaige Ukraina TOB - Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH). As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of AB Snaige (LTL) at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date and their income statements are translated at the average monthly exchange rates for the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the income statement.
Lithuanian litas is pegged to euro at the rate of 3.4528 litas for 1 euro, and the exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.
$\overline{2}$ Accounting principles (cont'd)
The applicable exchange rates of the functional currencies as of the 31 December were as follows:
| 2007 | 2006 | |

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Snaige and its controlled entities. This control is normally evidenced when the Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the voting rights of a company's share capital and/or is able to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities. The equity and net income attributable to minority shareholders' interests are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement.
The purchase method of accounting is used for acquired businesses. The Company accounts for the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of another company at their fair value at acquisition date. The difference of the fair value of the acquired net assets and acquisition costs is accounted for as goodwill.
Acquisitions of minority interests are accounted for using the parent entity extension method, whereby the difference between the consideration paid and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or aroups of units.
The excess of the acquired interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment remaining after the reassessment of the identification and measurement of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of the combination is recognised in the income statement immediately.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when the Group acquires the actual control rights and are stopped being consolidated from the date these rights are renounced.
All other investments are accounted for according to TAS 39 "Financial instruments: recognition and measurement", as discussed in section 2.7.
Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits and losses, are eliminated on consolidation.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared by applying the same accounting principles to similar transactions and other events under similar circumstances.
(all amounts are in LTL unless otherwise stated)
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (3 years).
The useful lives, residual values and amortisation method are reviewed annually to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in intangible assets other than goodwill.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on an individual projects is recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortization periods from 1 to 8 years are applied by the Group. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
Amounts paid for licences are capitalised and then amortised over their validity period.
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised over a period not exceeding 3 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Group expects from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
Property, plant and equipment, excluding construction in progress, are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Property, plant and equipment are assets that are controlled by the Group, which is expected to generate economic benefits in the future periods with the useful life exceeding one year, and which acquisition (manufacturing) costs could be reliably measured. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such property, plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if the asset recognition criteria are met. Replaced parts are written off.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
When assets are sold or retired, their cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the income statement.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings and structures | 15 - 63 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 5 - 15 vears |
| Vehicles | 4 - 6 years |
| Other non-current assets | 3 - 8 vears |
The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
Construction in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other directly attributable costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and put into operation.
According to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" the Group's financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
The category financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' includes financial assets classified as held for trading. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on investment held for trading are recognised in income statement.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held-tomaturity are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains and losses are recognised in income statement when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses (except impairment and gain or losses from foreign currencies exchange) being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement.
(all amounts are in LTL unless otherwise stated)
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after impairment evaluation for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable overhead costs based on a normal operating capacity. Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off.
Inventories in transit are accounted for in accordance with INCOTERMS-2000.
Receivables are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration given. Receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost, less impairment.
Cash includes cash on hand and cash with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits at current accounts, and other short-term highly liquid investments.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of proceeds received, net of expenses incurred. They are subsequently carried at amortised cost, the difference between net proceeds and redemption value being recognised in the net profit or loss over the period of the borrowings. The borrowings are classified as non-current if the completion of a refinancing agreement before the balance sheet date provides evidence that the substance of the liability at the balance sheet date was non-current.
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Factoring transaction is a funding transaction wherein the group transfers to factor claim rights for determined fee. The companies alienate rights to receivables due at a future date according to invoices. Factoring transactions of the Group comprise factoring transactions with regress (recourse) right (the factor is entitled to returning the overdue claim back to the Group) and without regress (recourse) right (the factor is not entitled to returning the overdue claim back to the Group). Factored accounts receivable (with regress right) and related financing are recorded in accounts receivable caption and borrowings and financial lease obligations caption.
The Group recognises financial leases as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at amounts equal at the inception of the lease to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The rate of discount used when calculating the present value of minimum payments of financial lease is the interest rate of financial lease payment, when it is possible to determine it, in other cases, Group's composite interest rate on borrowings is applied. Directly attributable initial costs are included into the asset value. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Direct expenses incurred by the lessee during the lease period are included in the value of the leased asset.
The depreciation is accounted for financial lease assets and it also gives rise to financial expenses in the income statement for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable assets that are owned. The leased assets cannot be depreciated over the period longer than the lease term, unless the Group according to the lease contract, gets transferred their ownership after the lease term is over.
If the result of sales and lease back transactions is financial lease, any profit from sales exceeding the book value is not recognised as income immediately. It is deferred and amortised over the lease term.
Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term
The gains from discounts provided by the lessor are recognised as a decrease in lease expenses over the period of the lease using the straight-line method.
If the result of sales and lease back transactions is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been carried out at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately, except for the cases when the loss is compensated by lower than market prices for lease payments in the future. The profit is then deferred and it is amortised in proportion to the lease payments over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated. If the sales price exceeds the fair value, a deferral is made for the amount by which the fair value is exceeded and it is amortised over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.
Grants and subsidies (hereinafter Grants) received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of non-current assets are considered as asset-related grants. Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. The amount of the grants related to assets is recognised in the financial statements as used in parts according to the depreciation of the assets associated with this grant. In the income statement, a relevant expense account is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation.
Grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered as grants related to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant.
(all amounts are in LTL unless otherwise stated)
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adiusted in order to present the most reasonable current estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is equal to the present value of the expenses, which are expected to be incurred to settle the liability. Were discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest costs.
Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the respective country's tax legislation.
The standard income tax rate in Lithuania is 15%. On 1 January 2006 the Provisional Social Tax Law came into effect in the Republic of Lithuania, which stipulates that along with the corporate income tax, for one tax year beginning on 1 January 2006, companies have to pay an additional 4% tax calculated based on the income tax principles, and for the following year a 3% tax starting from 1 January 2007. Starting from 2007 the standard income tax rate in Lithuania will remain constant - 15%.
Tax losses can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments that can be carried forward for 3 consecutive years. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.
The standard income tax rate in Russia - 24%.
Tax losses in Russian Federation can be carried forward for 10 consecutive vears.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets have been recognised in the balance sheet to the extent the Group's management believes it will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales are recognised net of VAT and discounts.
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when delivery has taken place and transfer of risks and rewards has been completed.
Revenue from services is recognized on accrual basis when services are rendered.
In these consolidated financial statements intercompany sales are eliminated.
Expenses are recognised on the basis of accrual and revenue and expense matching principles in the reporting period when the income related to these expenses was earned, irrespective of the time the money was spent. In those cases when the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not bring income during the future periods, they are expensed as incurred.
The amount of expenses is usually accounted as the amount paid or due to be paid, excluding VAT. In those cases when long period of payment is established and the interest is not distinguished, the amount of expenses shall be estimated by discounting the amount of payment using the market interest rate.
Accounting principles (cont'd) $\overline{2}$
In these financial statements business segment is considered component of the Group participating in production of an individual product or provision of a service or a group of related products or services, the risk and returns whereof are different from other business segments.
Geographical segment is considered component of the Group participating in production of an individual product or provision of a service or a group of related products or services, in particular economic environment the risk and returns whereof are different from other economic environments.
Business activities of the Group are structured as a sole primary business segment - manufacture of refrigerators and freezers. Financial segment information is presented in these financial statements in Note 4.
Financial assets as well as goodwill are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, whenever it is probable that the Group will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of loans or receivables, impairment is recognised in the income statement. The reversal of impairment losses previously recognised is recorded when the decrease in impairment loss can be justified by an event occurring after the write-down. Such reversal is recorded in the income statement. However, the increased carrying amount is only recognised to the extent it does not exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is accounted for in the same caption of the income statement as the impairment loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements relate to depreciation (Notes 2.6. and 13), amortisation (Notes 2.5. and 12), evaluation of impairment and provisions (Notes 2.6., 2.21. and 15), evaluation of deferred income tax valuation allowance and deferred tax recognition (Note 11). Future events may occur which may cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits are probable.
Post-balance sheet events that provide additional information about the Group's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-balance sheet events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when a certain Standard specifically requires such set-off.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to correspond to the presentation of the current year.
As at 31 December 2006, considering that the banks have not demonstrated to take any actions to request an early repayment of the loans, under the non-current liabilities caption the Group accounted for LTL 3,761 thousand liabilities in accordance with loan agreement covenant, which were not fulfilled by the Group; therefore, the banks had the right to change the amounts of loans stated in the agreements as well as the maturity of the loans. According to IAS 1 requirements, liabilities can be classified as non-current only if the Group has an unconditional right to postpone the payment for 12 months after balance sheet date. Therefore, the aforementioned liabilities are presented in these financial statements as current liabilities.
| As stated in the financial statements for the year 2006 |
Adjustments | Amounts after adjustments in these financial statements |

| Total borrowings and financial lease obligations |
68,653,485 | 68,653,485 |
In 2006 financial statements, the deferred income tax of the Group was accounted for at the net value under the noncurrent asset caption. As the deferred income tax asset and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income taxes of different Group companies and are paid to different tax authorities, as at 31 December 2006 deferred income tax was adjusted as follows:
| As stated in the financial statements for the year 2006 |
Adjustments | Amounts after adjustments in these financial statements |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Deferred income tax asset Deferred income tax liabilities |
3,167,712 | 706,000 (706,000) |
3,873,712 (706,000) |
| Deferred income tax, net | 3.167,712 | $\overline{\phantom{a}}$ | 3.167.712 |
The presented liabilities and deferred income tax adjustments had no effect on net profit (loss) of the previous periods and for profit (loss) per share.
The Group's sole business segment (primary reporting format) is the production of refrigerators and specialised equipment.
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's geographical segments (secondary reporting format) (in LTL thousand):
| Group | Total segment sales revenue |
Inter-segment sales |

Fixed rate borrowings comprise current liabilities related to agreements of recourse factoring. The fair value of borrowings was calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at the prevailing interest rates. The fair value of loans and other financial assets was calculated using market interest rates.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
The derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value, thus their fair value equals the carrying amount. The Group had no investments into unlisted entities as at 31 December 2007 and 2006.
The following table shows the net gains or losses of financial instruments included in the income statement:
| 2007 | 2006 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets available for sale | 571,021 3,245,248 | |
| Loans and receivables | 441,780 (9,836,546) |
Net gains and losses of financial instruments include revaluation effect of foreign currency derivative financial instruments and impairment losses of receivables.
The Group has no significant concentration of trading counterparties. The two main customers of the Group -OOO Electrolux RUS and Sting Polska Sp z.o.o. - as at 31 December 2007 account for approximately 13.56% (23.38% as at 31 December 2006) of the total Group's trade receivables. The maximum exposure of the credit as at 31 December 2007 and 2006 comprise balance values of receivables including the derivative financial instruments' value.
The credit policy implemented by the Group and credit risk are constantly controlled. Credit risk assessment is applied to all clients willing to get a payment deferral.
In accordance with the policy of receivables recognition as doubtful, the payments variation from agreement terms are monitored and prevention actions are taken in order to prevent overdue receivables in accordance with the standard of the Group "Trade Credits Risk Management Procedure".
According to the policy of the Group, receivables are considered to be doubtful if they meet the following criteria:
A significant part of trade receivables is insured. The Group does not guarantee for other parties' liabilities.
The major part of the Group's borrowings is with variable rates, related to LIBOR and EURIBOR, which creates an interest rate risk. As at 31 December 2007 and 2006 the Group did not use any financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group's equity, other than current year profit impact.

The Group seeks to maintain sufficient financing to meet the financial liabilities on time. In 2008 the Group secured the additional monetary funds to finance the operations of the Group (Note 30).
Major currency risks of the Group occur due to the fact that the Group's significant part of the revenue is in Russian roubles and US dollars and the borrowings are denominated in other foreign currencies.
To reduce the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuation, the Group uses derivative financial instruments. In 2007 the Group arranged the foreign currency forwards with a bank for USD 15,540 thousand translation at a fixed rate. USD 3,340 thousand were executed in 2007. Derivative financial instruments are set to hedge from negative effect of change of foreign currency rate or cash flows from sales revenue in US dollars. As at 31 December 2007 derivative financial instruments were revalued to their fair value. Fair value of foreign currency forwards is estimated based on market prices as at the date of the balance sheet.
