As of 31 December 2007 the Group had 2479 employees (as of 31 December 2006 – 2265).

The Company's management did not authorize these financial statements. The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not approve them and require the management to prepare a new set of financial statements.

2 Accounting principles

The main accounting principles used in preparation of financial accounts for 2007 are listed below:

2.1. Base of the preparation of financial accounts

The financial accounts for the 12 months of 2007 are prepared according to international financial reporting standards (IFRS), which are accepted in the European Union countries.

2.2. Financial accounting currency

Group's companies use legal currency of the corresponding countries while preparing financial accounts and reports. In this financial report all the amounts are expressed in national currency of Lithuania, Litas.

The amounts shown in these financial statements are: USD exchange rate as of 31 January 2007 – LTL 2.3572, average USD exchange rate – LTL 2.523, RUB exchange rate as of 31 January 2007 – LTL 0.96085, average exchange rate of RUB – LTL 0.98624, UAH exchange rate as of 31 January 2007 – LTL 0.46649, average exchange rate of UAH – LTL 0.50136.

Starting from 2 February 2002, Lithuanian Litas is pegged to EUR 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.

2.3. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Snaig÷ and its subsidiaries as well as associated companies. 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 and liabilities of another company at their fair value at acquisition date. The difference of the acquired minority interest value in the Group's financial statements and cots of shares is accounted for as goodwill.

2.4. Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's 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 groups 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 recognized 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 recognized. 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 2.6.

Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized 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.

2.5. Intangible assets, except for goodwill

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized 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 amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (3 years).

The useful lives, residual values and amortization 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.

Licenses

Amounts paid for licenses are capitalized and then amortized over their validity period.

Software

The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalized and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortized 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 recognized as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.

2.6. Property, plant and equipment

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 defined and is higher then LTL 500.

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.

The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance costs, are normally charged to the income statement in the period the costs are incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings and structures (excluding commercial buildings) 15 - 63 years
Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 years
Vehicles 6 - 7 years
Other non-current assets 3 - 8 years

The useful lives are reviewed annually to ensure that the period of depreciation is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property, plant and equipment.

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.

2.7. Investments and other financial assets

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, or available-

for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date. When financial assets are recognized 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.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The category financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' include 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 recognized in income statement.

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held-tomaturity are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in income statement when the investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Loans and receivables

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 amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Available-for-sale financial assets

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 recognized as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognized 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.

2.8. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, after impairment evaluation for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realizable 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. Unrealizable inventory has is fully written-off.

Inventories in transit are accounted for in accordance with INCOTERMS.

2.9. Receivables and loans granted

Receivables are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration given. Receivables and loans granted are subsequently carried at amortized cost, less impairment.

2.10. Cash and cash equivalents

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 and bank overdrafts.

2.11. Borrowings

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value of proceeds received. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost, the difference between net proceeds and redemption value being recognized 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 authorization of the financial statements for issue provides evidence that the substance of the liability at the balance sheet date was non-current.

Borrowings are classified as current, if the Group does not comply with the provisions of the financing agreement that provide the creditor with a possibility to demand early repayment.

2.12. Derecognizing of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

  • − the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
  • − the Group retain the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but have assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or
  • − the Group has transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
  • − 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 recognized to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.13. Factoring

Factoring transaction is a funding transaction wherein the company 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). The factoring expenses comprise a lump-sum contract fee charged on the conclusion of the contract, commission fees charged for processing the invoices, and interest expenses depending on the duration on the payment term set by the debtor. Factored accounts receivable (with regress right) and related financing are recorded in accounts receivable caption and liabilities to credit institutions caption in the financial statements.

2.14. Financial lease and operating lease

Financial lease – the Group as lessor

The Group recognizes financial lease receivables in the balance sheet on the inception day of the lease period, and they equal to the net investment in the lease. Financing income is based on the constant periodical interest rate calculated on the net investment balance. The initial direct expenses are included upon assessment of receivables at the time of initial recognition.

Operating lease – the Group as lessee

Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, any profit or loss is recognized 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 amortized 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 amortized over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.

Operating lease – the Group as lessor

Assets leased under operating lease in the balance sheet of the Group are accounted for depending on their nature. Income from operating lease is recognized as other income in the statement of income within the lease period using the straight-line method. All the discounts provided to the operating lessee are recognized using straight-line method during the lease period by reducing the lease income. Initial direct expenses incurred in order to generate lease income are included in the carrying value of the leased asset.

2.15. Grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies 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 recognized 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 amortization.

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 incomerelated grants are recognized as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant.

The balance of unutilized grants is shown in the balance sheet caption "Grants and subsidies (deferred income)".

2.16. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group or the Company 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 adjusted 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 recognized as an interest.

2.17. Income tax

The calculation of income tax is made using annual profit, after taking into account the influence of deferred income tax. The income tax is calcualted according to the requirements of the Republic of Lithuania. Income tax of foreign subsidiaries is calculated accorind to the tax laws of these countries.

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%.

The standard income tax rate in Russia – 24%, Ukraine – 25%.

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.

Tax losses in Russian Federation can be carried forward for 10 consecutive years and in Ukraine – for 1 year.

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 recognized in the balance sheet to the extent the Group's management believes it will be realized 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 realized, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognized in the financial statements.

2.18. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized 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 recognized net of VAT and discounts.

Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when delivery has taken place and transfer of risks and rewards has been completed. Revenue from services is recognized when services are rendered. Interest income is recognized on accrual basis (using the effective interest rate).

2.19. Expense recognition

Expenses are recognized 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.

2.20. Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement. Such balances are translated at period-end exchange rates.

The accounting of subsidiaries is arranged in respective local currencies, which is their functional currency. Financial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are translated to Litas at year-end exchange rates in respect to the balance sheet accounts, and at the average exchange rates for the year in respect to the accounts of the statement of income. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to equity. Upon disposal of the corresponding assets, the cumulative revaluation of translation reserves is recognized as income or expenses in the same period when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign subsidiary are treated as assets (or liabilities related to fair value adjustments) of the acquired company and are recorded at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

2.21. Segment information

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.

For governing purpose Group's activities are organized as one main segment – manufacture of refrigerators and freezers. Financial information about the segments is provided in the part 3 of this note.

2.22. Impairment of assets

Financial assets

Financial assets as well as goodwill are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date.

For financial assets carried at amortized 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 recognized in the income statement. The reversal of impairment losses previously recognized 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 recognized to the extent it does not exceed the amortized cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

Other assets

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 recognized in the income statement. Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized 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.

2.23. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

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 amortization, depreciation, evaluation of impairment and provisions. 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.

2.24. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized 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 recognized in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits are probable.

2.25. Subsequent events

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.

2.26. Offsetting and comparative figures

When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when certain Standard specifically requires such set-off.

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to correspond to the presentation of the current year.

23 Risk and capital management

Credit risk

The Groups' partners' concentration is high enough. Trade receivables from the main 10 group's clients on 31 December 2007 constituted to 38.35% (47.81% on 31 December 2006) of all the groups trade receivables. The maximum amount of the credit risk on 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2006 is equal to balance sheet values of trade receivables and loans provided.

Established credit policy is being constantly controlled. All the clients willing to receive payment delay are checked and risk assessment is performed. The major part of trade receivables is insured.

The Group does not guarantee obligations of other parties. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, if any, in the balance sheet. Consequently, the Group considers that its maximum exposure is reflected by the amount of trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts recognized at the balance sheet date.

Interest rate risk

The larger part of Groups loans is composed of loans with floating interest rates, which are floating together with LIBOR and creates interest rate risk.

The Group hasn't used any financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

The Group's policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet its commitments at a given date in accordance with its strategic plans.

Groups current ratio on 31 December 2007 was equal to 0.52 (on 31 December of 2006 – 0.65).

Foreign exchange risk

Major currency risks of the Group occur due to the fact that the Group borrows foreign currency denominated funds as well as is being involved in imports and exports. The Group's policy is to match cash flows arising from highly probable future sales and purchases in each foreign currency.

The parent company in 2007 has entered into forward exchange rate agreement with bank for 15,540,000 USD, from which 3,340,000 USD were actually exchanged. The derivative financial instruments are used to hedge sale income denominated in USD.
