Independent Auditor's Report

To the shareholders of Rokiskio Suris AB

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying stand alone and consolidated financial statements (together 'the Financial statements') of Rokiskio Suris AB ('the Company') and its subsidiaries (collectively 'the Group') set out on pages $5-49$ which comprise the stand alone and consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2010 and the stand alone and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's responsibility for the financial statements

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, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

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. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 a basis for our audit opinion.

$2.$ Accounting policies

$2.1$ Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the valuation of available-for-sale financial assets at fair value.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current event and actions actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates (Note 4).

(a) Relevant new or amended standards and interpretations effective in 2010:

  • IAS 27 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' (revised January 2008; effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised IAS 27 will require an entity to attribute total comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the noncontrolling interests (previously "minority interests") even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance (the current standard requires the excess losses to be allocated to the owners of the parent in most cases). The revised standard specifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control must be accounted for as equity transactions. It also specifies how an entity should measure any gain or loss arising on the loss of control of a subsidiary. At the date when control is lost, any investment retained in the former subsidiary will have to be measured at its fair value. The revised ISA 27 does not have any impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.
  • IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' (revised January 2008; effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised standard does not have significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
  • In April 2009 the EU endorsed the Improvements to IFRSs (amendments to IFRS 2, IAS 38, IFRIC 9 and IFRIC 16 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009; amendments to IFRS 5, IFRS 8, IAS 1, IAS 7, IAS 17, IAS 36 and IAS 39 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010; the amendments as adopted by the EU are effective for annual periods starting after 31 December 2009). The improvements consist of a mixture of substantive changes and clarifications in the following standards and interpretations. These amendments do not have significant impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

(b) New standards and its amendments in 2010, which are not applicable in Company and Group activity:

  • Embedded Derivatives Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39, issued in March 2009 (effective for annual periods ending on or after 30 June 2009; amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 as adopted by the EU are effective for annual periods beginning after 31 December 2009). The amendments clarify that on reclassification of a financial asset out of the 'at fair value through profit or loss' category, all embedded derivatives have to be assessed and, if necessary, separately accounted for. The amendment does not have any impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.
  • IFRIC 12 'Service Concession Arrangements' (IFRIC 12 as adopted by the EU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 30 March 2009) The interpretation contains guidance on applying the existing standards by service providers in public-to-private service concession arrangements. Application of IFRIC 12 does not have any impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.
  • IFRIC 15 'Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009; IFRIC 15 as adopted by the EU is effective for annual periods beginning after 31 December 2009). The interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors, and provides quidance for determining whether agreements for the construction of real estate are within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18. It also provides criteria for determining when entities should recognise revenue on such transactions. The amendment does not have any impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.
  • IFRIC 16 'Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008; IFRIC 16 as adopted by the EU is effective for annual periods beginning after 30 June 2009). IFRIC 16 does not have any impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.
  • IFRIC 17 'Distribution of Non-Cash Assets to Owners' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009; IFRIC 17 as adopted by the EU is effective for annual periods beginning after 31 October 2009). The interpretation clarifies when and how distribution of non-cash assets as dividends to the owners should be recognised. An entity should measure a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to its owners at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. A gain or loss on disposal of the distributed noncash assets will be recognised in profit or loss when the entity settles the dividend payable. IFRIC 17 should not be applicable to the Company. IFRIC 17 does not have any impact on Group's or the Company's financial statements.
  • IFRIC 18 'Transfers of Assets from Customers' (effective prospectively to transfers of assets from customers received on or after 1 July 2009, earlier application permitted: IFRIC 18 as adopted by the EU is effective for annual periods beginning after 31 October 2009). The interpretation clarifies the accounting for transfers of assets from customers, namely, the circumstances in which the definition of an asset is met; the recognition of the asset and the measurement of its cost on initial recognition; the identification of the separately identifiable services (one or more services in exchange for the transferred asset); the recognition of revenue, and the accounting for transfers of cash from customers. IFRIC 18 does not have any impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

  • Eligible Hedged Items-Amendment to IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' (effective with retrospective application for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation should be applied in particular situations. This amendment does not have an impact on the Group's or Company's financial statements.

$2.2$ Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisitionby-acquisition basis, the group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquirer either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquirer's net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquirer and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

(b) Transactions and minority interest

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

When the group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(c) Joint ventures

The group's interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by proportionate consolidation. The group combines its share of the joint ventures' individual income and expenses assets and liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the group's financial statements. The group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the group to the joint venture that is attributable to the other venturers. The group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the group's purchase of assets from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However a loss on the transaction is recognised immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss.

$2.3$ Stand-alone financial statements

Subsidiaries in the stand-alone financial statements are accounted at cost less impairment charge - that is the income from the investment is recognized in full where Company receives distributions from accumulated profits of the investee. Distributions received from accumulated profits arising before the date of acquisition are tested for impairment.

$2.4$ Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

The items shown in the financial statements of the Company and each company of the Group are valued by the currency of the original economic environment wherein a specific company operates (hereinafter the "functional currency"). These financial statements are presented in Litas (LTL) which is the Company's (and each of the Group entity's) functional and presentation currency, with exception for subsidiaries in Latvia, which functional currency is Latvian Lats $(LVL)$ .

With effect from 2 February 2002 the litas has been pegged with the euro at an exchange rate of LTL 3.4528 to EUR 1.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

$2.5$ Property plant and equipment

Property plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset as appropriate only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives.

Useful lives of property plant and equipment are given in the table below:

Buildings 15-55 vears
Plant and machinery 5-29 vears
Motor vehicles 4-10 vears
Equipment and other property plant and equipment 3-20 vears

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance sheet date.

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Construction in progress is transferred to appropriate group of property plant and equipment when it is completed and ready for its intended use.

When property is retired or otherwise disposed the cost and related depreciation are removed from the financial statements and any related gains or losses are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in operating profit.

$2.6$ Intangible assets

(a) Computer software

Software assets expected to provide economic benefit to the Company and the Group in future periods are valued at acquisition cost less subsequent amortisation. Software is amortised on the straight-line basis over the useful life of 1 to 5 years.

(b) Contractual customer relationships

Contractual customer relationships recognized as intangible asset upon business acquisition are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Contractual customer relationships are amortised on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 2 years.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

$2.7$ Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

$2.8$ Financial assets

a) Loans and receivables

The Group classifies its financial assets in a category of loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and reevaluates this designation at every reporting date.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classified as 'trade and other receivables' in the balance sheet.

b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment or investment matures within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Upon the disposal or impairment of available-for-sale investments, the accumulated fair value adjustment recognised in equity is included in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

The fair value of investments traded in active financial markets is based on quoted closing market prices at the balance sheet date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument, which is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation models.

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is an evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.9 Inventories

Inventories are subsequently carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials direct labour other direct costs and related indirect production overheads but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

Loans granted, trade and other receivables $2.10$

Loans granted and amounts receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less the amount of impairment loss. A provision for impairment of amounts receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The impairment amount is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within 'general and administrative expenses'. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified as irrecoverable.

$2.11$ Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at nominal value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included in borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

$2.12$ Share capital

(a) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are stated at their par value. Consideration received for the shares sold in excess over their nominal value is shown as share premium. Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are accounted for as a deduction from share premium.

(b) Treasury shares

Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company's equity share capital the consideration paid including any attributed incremental external costs is deducted from shareholders' equity as treasury shares until they are sold reissued or cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on the sale issuance or cancellation of treasury shares. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued any consideration received is presented in the consolidated financial statements as a change in shareholders' equity.

2.13 Reserves

(a) Other reserves

Other reserves are established upon the decision of annual general meeting of shareholders on profit appropriation. This reserve may be used only for the purposes approved by annual general meeting of shareholders.

Legal reserve is included into other reserves. A legal reserve is a compulsory reserve under the Lithuanian legislation. Annual transfers of 5 per cent of net profit are required until the reserve reaches 10 per cent of the share capital. The legal reserve cannot be used for payment of dividends and it is established to cover future losses only.

(b) Reserve for acquisition of treasury shares

This reserve is maintained as long as the Group is involved in acquisition/disposal of its treasury shares. This reserve is compulsory under the Lithuanian regulatory legislation and should not be lower than the acquisition cost of treasury shares acquired.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

$2.14$ Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the amount at initial recognition and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. Interest expense on borrowing is expensed in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.15 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Profit is taxable at a rate of 15 per cent (2009: 20 per cent) in accordance with the Lithuanian requlatory legislation on taxation.

Deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

2.16 Leases - where the Group is the lessee

(a) Finance lease

Leases of property plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations net of future finance charges are included in long-term payables except for instalments due within 12 months which are included in current liabilities. The items of property plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term of the asset.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

(b) Operating lease

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

2.17 Employee benefits

(a) Social security contributions

The Group pays social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and are included in payroll expenses.

(b) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

(c) Bonus plans

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

2.18 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax returns rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue from sales of goods is recognised only when all significant risks and benefits arising from ownership of goods is transferred to the customer.

Revenue for delivering transportation services in recognized in the period when services are performed.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount being the estimated future cash flow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

2.19 Dividends distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

$2.20$ Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit attributed to the shareholders from average weighted number of ordinary registered shares in issue excluding ordinary registered shares purchased by the Company and the Group and held as treasury shares.

$2.21$ Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

The Group's management distinguished the following operating segments of the Group: hard cheese, semi-hard cheese, butter, milk cream, sour cream, sour milk, yogurt, curd, curd cheese and other. These segments were combined into two main reportable segments based on the similar nature of products production process types of customers and the method of distribution.

$2.22$ Government grants and subsidies

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is sufficient evidence that the grant will be received and the Group and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Export subsidies paid by the Government for each exported tone of products meeting certain requirements are included in sales revenue.

Government grants received to finance acquisition of property plant and equipment are included in non-current deferred income in the balance sheet. They are recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the useful life of property plant and equipment concerned.

Provisions $2.23$

Provisions for restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the Group and the Company have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specified to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

$2.24$ Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

$3.$ Financial risk management

$3.1$ Financial risk factors

The Group's and the Company's activities expose them to a variety of financial risks. The Group's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects of the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by the Company's management. There are no written principles for overall risk management in place.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Company and the Group operate internationally however their exposure to foreign exchange risk is set at minimum level since sales outside Lithuania are performed mostly in the euros. The exchange rate of the euro and the litas is fixed.

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Company's and the Group's interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing loans and long-term borrowings issued. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. In 2010 and 2009 loans granted by the Group at a fixed interest rate were denominated in litas. In 2010 and 2009 borrowings issued to the Group at a variable interest rate were denominated in litas and the euros.

As at 31 December 2010 the Company's and the Group's net liabilities sensitive to interest rate risk amounted to LTL 21,227 thousand and LTL 15,170 thousand respectively (31 December 2009: LTL 83,356 thousand and LTI 83,570 thousand respectively). If interest rate increases / decreases by 0.5 percentage point (2009: 0.5 percentage point) the Company's and the Group's profit would decrease / increase by LTL 106 thousand and LTL 76 thousand respectively (2009: profit would decrease / increase by LTL 417 thousand and 418 thousand respectively).

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash balances at banks loans granted and trade receivables.

As at 31 December 2010 all Company's and Group's cash balances were held in banks that had external credit ratings from 'A' to 'B+' as set by the rating agency Fitch Ratings (31 December 2009: from 'A' to 'AA-').

i) Maximum exposure to credit risk

The table below summarises the Company's and the Group's credit risk exposures relating to onbalance sheet items. Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements as at 31 December:

Group Company

155,016 200,395 149.217 189,210

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

ii) Credit quality of financial assets

The Group does not classify amounts receivable and other financial assets exposed to credit risk according to credit quality. Credit risk is managed through established credit limits for a major customers and monitoring of overdue receivables and loans. Credit limits and overdue receivables are continuously monitored by the Company's and the Group's management.

Credit limits and receivables as at 31 December 2010 for the major 9 customers are summarised below:

Group Company
Credit limit Receivables Credit limit Receivables

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management allows maintaining sufficient cash and availability of funding under committed credit facilities.

The table below summarises the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities. The financial liabilities are classified into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are contractual undiscounted cash flows. Accounts payable and other financial liabilities due within 3 months or less are equal to their carrving amounts as the impact of discounting is insignificant.

The Company's and the Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Group and Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders return capital to shareholders issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Company and the Group define their capital as equity and debt less cash and cash equivalents.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

As at 31 December the Group's and the Company's capital structure was as follows:

Group Company
2010 2009 2010 2009
59,076 99,600 Borrowings 58.973 99.462
(19.524) (101.187) Less: cash and cash equivalents (17,902) (100,797)
39,552 (1.587) Net debt 41.071 (1, 335)
194.634 185,435 Shareholders' equity 182.809 173,253
234,186 183,848 Total capital 223,880 171,918

Pursuant to the Lithuanian Law on Companies the authorised share capital of a public company must be not less than LTL 100,000 (the authorised share capital of a private company must not be less than LTL 10,000) and the shareholders' equity should not be lower than 50 per cent of the company's registered share capital. As at 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009 the Company and its subsidiaries registered in Lithuania complied with these requirements.

3.3. Fair value estimation

Trade payables and trade receivables accounted for in the balance sheet should be settled within a period shorter than three months therefore it is deemed that their fair value equals to their carrying amount less impairment. Interest rate on the borrowings received by the Company is subject to repricing at least every six months therefore it is deemed that their fair value equals their carrying amount.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)

$\overline{4}$ . Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Provision for impairment of loans and accounts receivable

Provision for impairment of accounts receivable and loans granted was determined based on the management's estimates on recoverability and timing relating to the amounts that will not be collectable according to the original terms of receivables. This determination requires significant judgement. Judgement is exercised based on significant financial difficulties of the debtor probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinguency in payments. Current estimates of the Company and the Group could change significantly as a result of change in situation in the market and the economy as a whole. Recoverability rate also highly depends on success rate and actions employed relating to recovery of significantly overdue amounts receivable.

Estimates of useful lives of property plant and equipment

The Company and the Group have old buildings and machinery where the useful lives are estimated based on the projected product lifecycles. However economic useful lives may differ from the currently estimated as a result of technical innovations and competitors actions.

34. Events after the end of the reporting period

On 23 December 2010 a decision was passed at the general shareholder meeting to reduce the authorised share capital of Rokiškio Sūris AB by LTL 2,576,924 (two million five hundred seventy-six thousand nine hundred and twenty four litas) through cancellation of 2,576,924 (two million five hundred seventy-six thousand nine hundred and twenty four) ordinary registered shares with par value of LTL 1 (one) each.

These shares were redeemed during the course of the 2010 financial year at the official bidding submarket operating through NASDAQ OMX Vilnius stock exchange.

During the above mentioned shareholder meeting a decision was passed to amend Articles of Association of Rokiškio Sūris AB due to the decrease in the share capital of the Company through the cancellation of treasury shares redeemed.

Following the cancellation of treasury shares redeemed the authorised share capital of Rokiškio Sūris AB amounts to LTL 35,867,970 (thirty-five million eight hundred sixty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy litas) divided into 35,867,970 (thirty-five million eight hundred sixty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy) ordinary registered shares with par value of LTL 1 (one) each. The number of shares held by the Company's shareholders and their nominal value did not change because of the reduction of the Company's share capital.

A new version of the Company's Article of Association stipulating a decreased share capital of the Company was registered with the Register of Legal Entities on 8 March 2011. Following the registration with the Register of Legal Entities the authorised share capital of Rokiškio Sūris AB amounts to LTL 35,867,970 (thirty-five million eight hundred sixty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy litas) divided into 35,867,970 (thirty-five million eight hundred sixty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy) ordinary registered shares with par value of LTL 1 (one) each.

(All tabular amounts are in LTL '000 unless otherwise stated)
