Basis for financial statements preparation
Financial statements are being prepared in compliance with Latvian laws "On bookkeeping" and "On the Annual Accounts of Undertakings".
Profit and losses account is prepared according to the turnover method. Accounting policy provides the financial statements give information that is appropriate for their users to make decisions and conclusions. The policy is reliable. The financial statements correctly reveal the financial condition and operating results of the company – showing not only legal side of transactions, but also their economical matter, and are complete in all essential aspects.
The items of the financial statements are valued according to the following accounting principles:
Financial year is 12 months, from 01.01.2009 to 31.12.2009.
Money and foreign currency revaluation
Amounts shown in these financial statements are in Latvian national currency – lats (LVL). All monetary assets and liabilities are recalculated to lats, using the official exchange rate of the Latvian Bank that is set on the last day of the financial year.
Long-term and short-term items
Long-term items include amounts, whose receiving, discarding or payment terms become due more than 1 year after the end of the respective financial year. Amounts that are due to be received, paid or discarded during the next year, are included in short-term items.

Fixed assets and nonmaterial investment depreciation
Fixed assets and non-material investments are shown by purchase price minus depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis, using as a basis the following rates:
| Fixed assets | |
|---|---|
| Property | 1% |
| Equipment and machinery | 20% |
| Other fixed assets | 25% |
Income tax for the financial year consists of calculated tax and deferred tax. Income tax is included in the profit and losses account.
Income tax for the financial year is calculated according to the law" On the income tax of Undertakings", determining taxable income and using 15% rate, set by the law.
Deferred income tax is calculated for the difference between assets and liabilities value in the financial statements and assets and liabilities value for tax purposes. Deferred income tax is calculated using 15% rate, set by the law. The above-mentioned difference mainly comes from the different fixed assets depreciation rates used in the financial and tax accounting. Increase of provisions for bad receivables is not taken into account, calculating deferred income tax, due to mere caution principle.
There is a credit JSC "SEB banka". It is included in the long-term and short-term liabilities and the balance at the end of the financial period is 2 436 467 LVL (3 466 780 EUR).
