Business results
Q4 followed after the high season in Q2 and Q3 and the business results were in
line with the management expectations. Q4 2009 sales from continuing operations
demonstrated a 20.8% seasonal decrease as compared to Q3 2009 and 22.6% decrease
as compared to the respective period in the previous year.
Major markets showed signs of stabilization although signs of growth are still
lacking. Local currencies, including Ukrainian Hryvnia, have stabilized against
EUR and USD. Russian rouble strengthened against EUR and USD. The opinion of the
management of the Group is that after a significant drop in 2008 the markets
have entered into the stabilization phase and that consumers have adjusted their
purchasing patterns to the new market conditions; however, based on Q4 2009
sales level the management does not foresee significant growth of sales in 2010
limiting the expectation to 5-8% growth for 2010.
In Q4 2009 retail operations in Belarus demonstrated an increase of 44.0% in
local currency terms and a decrease of 0.6% in EUR terms as compared to Q4 2008.
The Group saw a like-for-like increase in retail sales in Russia of 5.8% in
local currency terms and a decrease of 12.4% in EUR terms as compared to the
respective period in 2008. Lauma Lingerie's sales in the Baltic countries
decreased by 50.5 % as compared to Q4 2008.
At the end of the reporting period the Group and its franchising partners
operated over 310 Milavitsa and other lingerie outlets, including 64 stores
operated directly by the Group and the rest by franchising partners. The Group's
retail focus has been shifted towards the promotion and support of franchising
in cooperation with existing and new partners. In Q4 2009, the Group continued
restructuring its own retail business in Russia and the Baltics.
Financial performance
The Group's sales from continuing operations amounted to EEK 1,158,537 thousand
(EUR 74,044 thousand) in 2009, representing a 26.7% decline as compared to the
previous year. Overall wholesale sales from continuing operations decreased by
26.8% and retail sales from continuing operations presented a decrease of 24.4%.
The proportion of retail sales in total sales increased by 0.7% and reached
23.3% of total sales in 2009. The Group's sales from continuing operations in Q4
2009 amounted to EEK 260,438 thousand (EUR 16,645 thousand), a decrease of 22.6%
as compared to the previous year.
The Group's gross margin from continuing operations in 2009 increased and was
43.5%, as compared to 41.0% in the previous year. One-off adjustments related to
restructuring of Russian operations increased cost of goods sold in 2009 and
amounted to EEK 6,572 thousand (EUR 420 thousand). As the result, normalized
gross margin amounted to 44.0% demonstrating a slight increase in profitability
as compared to 2008. This positive effect was observed in Q2 and Q3 2009 mainly
due to the increased sales prices in key markets and the beneficial impact of
the devaluation of Belarusian Rouble on production costs.
The consolidated operating profit from continuing operations amounted to EEK
60,443 thousand (EUR 3,863 thousand), representing a 17.0% increase compared to
the year 2008. The consolidated operating margin from continuing operations was
5.2% (3.3% in 2008). The operating profit and the operating margin were
adversely influenced by one-off expenses in 2009 and 2008.
In 2009, the Group continued with the restructuring of Russian retail
operations. One-off expenses related to the restructuring of Russian operations
in 2009 amounted to EEK 53,167 thousand (EUR 3,398 thousand), including EEK
13,863 thousand (EUR 886 thousand) in Q1 2009, EEK 18,353 thousand (EUR 1,173
thousand) in Q2 2009, EEK 7,072 thousand (EUR 452 thousand) in Q3 2009 and EEK
13,879 thousand (EUR 887 thousand) in Q4 2009 and partially related to
initiatives started in prior periods. The Group will finalize closing or
transfer of inefficient stores to franchise partners in H1 2010. Restructuring
provisions to cover future restructuring losses related to Russian retail chain
amounted to EEK 2,425 thousand (EUR 155 thousand) as at 31 December 2009. The
operating loss of the Russian retail operations in 2009 was EEK 103,440 thousand
(EUR 6,611 thousand), including one-off expenses amounting to EEK 53,167
thousand (EUR 3,398 thousand).
Loan receivable in the amount of EEK 20,356 thousand (EUR 1,301 thousand) was
fully provided based on the management's assessment of the recoverability of the
loan in Q1 2009. The expenses related to the provision have been recognized in
other operating expenses from continuing operations in 2009. The management will
continue actions to recover the loan balance.
In total one-off continuing operating losses related to the restructuring of
Russian operations and the provisioning of a loan amounted to EEK 73,523
thousand (EUR 4,699 thousand) in 2009 (total normalization adjustments amounted
to EEK 83,130 thousand (EUR 5,313 thousand) in 2008). As the result,
consolidated normalised operating profit from continuing operations amounted to
EEK 133,966 thousand (EUR 8,562 thousand) for the year 2009, representing a 0.6%
decline as compared to 2008. The consolidated normalised operating margin from
continuing operations reached 11.6% (8.5% in 2008).
On 30 June 2009 the Group closed the transaction for the sale of all shares in
PTA Grupp AS (“PTA”) held by the Group to PTA Holding OÜ for total consideration
of EEK 15,224 thousand (EUR 973 thousand), including EEK 7,401 thousand (EUR 473
thousand) paid upon closing by way of taking over certain liabilities of the
Group and the remaining part of the purchase price being payable in cash by 31
December 2011 at the latest and carrying interest until full payment. The
transaction resulted in a EEK 23,845 thousand (EUR 1,524 thousand) loss in the
consolidated results of the Group in 2009 (Note 15). Further details of the
transaction are provided in section ‘Key events'. In accordance with the
requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards PTA operations
(apparel business line) are now regarded as discontinued operations for the
purposes of financial reporting. Accordingly, PTA's financial performance is not
consolidated in sales and expenses, but instead the consolidated loss from PTA's
business operations in the amount of EEK 12,189 thousand (EUR 779 thousand) for
the 6 months' period ended 30 June 2009 and the loss generated by the sales
transaction are recorded separately in the consolidated income statement as a
loss from discontinued operations in the total amount of EEK 36,034 thousand
(EUR 2,303 thousand).
Consolidated net profit from foreign exchange rate fluctuations amounted to EEK
15,208 thousand (EUR 972 thousand) in 2009. SP ZAO Milavitsa accrued a foreign
exchange gain in the amount of EEK 37,356 thousand (EUR 2,388 thousand) that was
caused partially by EUR-denominated intra-Group trading in Q1 2009, while
Russian operations suffered a loss from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Starting from April 2009, all trading to Russia is Russian Rouble denominated to
minimise unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses within the Group.
Corporate income tax from continuing operations amounted to EEK 54,888 thousand
(EUR 3,508 thousand) against EEK 87,777 (EUR 5,610 thousand) in the previous
year and effective tax rate for the Group decreased significantly, though still
remaining high. In Q4 2009 the Group recognized a deferred tax asset in its
largest subsidiary in the amount of EEK 18,119 thousand (EUR 1,158 thousand) and
fully provided a deferred tax asset in a Russian retail company in the amount of
EEK 8,574 thousand (EUR 548 thousand). Income tax expense in 2009 was higher
than anticipated due to taxable foreign exchange gains of SP ZAO Milavitsa.
However, high overall effective tax rate is the temporary result of the loss
making subsidiaries' net loss position for the reporting period, non-tax
deductable one-off expenses discussed above and other non-tax deductable
expenses in Belarus (mainly employee remuneration).
For the year 2009, consolidated net loss from continuing operations attributable
to equity holders amounted to EEK 2,582 thousand (EUR 165 thousand), compared to
net loss of EEK 111,091 thousand (EUR 7,100 thousand) in 2008 (Note 10); net
margin from continuing operations attributable to equity holders was -0.2% (up
from a negative margin of 7.0% in 2008). In Q4 2009, consolidated net profit
from continuing operations attributable to equity holders amounted to EEK 5,100
thousand (EUR 326 thousand) and demonstrated a considerable growth compared to
the loss of EEK 157,984 (EUR 10,097 thousand) in the previous year; net margin
from continuing operations attributable to equity holders was 2.0% against
negative margin of 46.9% in Q4 2008.
Consolidated normalised net profit from continuing operations attributable to
equity holders (excluding one-off expenses in the amount of EEK 73,523 thousand
(EUR 4,699 thousand)) amounted to EEK 64,387 thousand (EUR 4,115 thousand),
compared to net loss of EEK 31,415 thousand (EUR 2,008 thousand) in 2008
(one-off expenses in 2008 amounted to EEK 83,130 thousand (EUR 5,313 thousand));
normalised net margin from continuing operations was 5.6% (-2.0% in 2008).
In 2009, the Group's return on equity was negative and amounted to -6.8% (-17.3%
in 2008) and return on assets was -3.8% (-10.4% in 2008).
Financial position
As of 31 December 2009 consolidated assets amounted to EEK 850,423 thousand (EUR
54,352 thousand) representing a decrease of 29.6% as compared to the position as
of 31 December 2008. The value of total asset base in EUR terms was
significantly impacted by the devaluation of the Belarusian Rouble which
depreciated against the Euro by 33.4% in 2009, decreasing the value of assets
based in Belarus in EUR terms. Furthermore, due to the closing of the PTA sales
transaction on 30 June 2009 and UAB “Linret LT” in November 2009, the financial
position of PTA and UAB “Linret LT” are not consolidated as of 31 December 2009,
causing a further decrease in the assets of the Group.
Property, plant and intangibles balances decreased by EEK 132,448 thousand
(EUR 8,465 thousand) as compared to 31 December 2008, the key reason being the
impact of the foreign exchange rate in the amount of EEK 60,102 thousand (EUR
3,841 thousand) and the sale of PTA and UAB “Linret LT” in the amount of EEK
25,674 thousand (EUR 1,641 thousand).
Trade receivables decreased by EEK 36,395 thousand (EUR 2,326 thousand) as
compared to 31 December 2008 and amounted to EEK 131,618 thousand (EUR 8,412
thousand) as of 31 December 2009. Payment discipline of key customers in Russia
improved during 2009. Inventory balance decreased by EEK 168,123 thousand (EUR
10,745 thousand) and amounted to EEK 266,289 thousand (EUR 17,019 thousand) as
of 31 December 2009. This was partially related to the disposal of PTA; however,
a major decrease was achieved through changes in the production planning to
adjust to the new level of the working capital resulting from decreased sales
volumes and through the devaluation of the Belarusian Rouble which depreciated
against the Euro by 33.4% in 2009, decreasing the value of inventories based in
Belarus in EUR terms.
Foreign exchange fluctuations also left a negative impact on the Group's equity,
in the form of a negative change in currency translation reserve in the amount
of EEK 128,453 thousand (EUR 8,209 thousand) for the year. On the overall basis,
equity attributable to equity holders decreased by EEK 151,391 thousand (EUR
9,675 thousand) and amounted to EEK 489,856 thousand (EUR 31,308 thousand) as of
31 December 2009.
Current liabilities decreased by EEK 186,532 thousand (EUR 11,922 thousand) in
2009, in line with management expectations.
The liquidity position of the Group improved in 2009 with respect to the total
balance of borrowings and related maturities. Current and non-current loans and
borrowings decreased by EEK 106,209 thousand (EUR 6,788 thousand) to EEK 28,242
thousand (EUR 1,805 thousand) as of 31 December 2009. Loans received and loans
repaid in 2009 amounted to EEK 102,609 thousand (EUR 6,558 thousand) and EEK
177,338 thousand (EUR 11,334 thousand) respectively, including finance lease
liabilities repaid in the amount of EEK 13,722 thousand (EUR 877 thousand). PTA
loan balance in the amount of EEK 31,606 thousand (EUR 2,020 thousand) was
eliminated from the consolidated financial position as the result of the PTA
sales transaction. However, as at the date of disposal PTA had two loans and an
overdraft from Danske Bank A/S Estonian branch outstanding which were secured by
a surety provided by SFG. The surety agreement was not terminated after the PTA
sales transaction and the balance of loans and credit line amounted to EEK
23,423 thousand (EUR 1,497 thousand) as of 31 December 2009; however, the
liability of the Group to Danske Bank A/S Estonian branch is in turn secured by
a commercial pledge over PTA's assets. In January 2010 a credit line facility of
Lauma Lingerie with Unicredit Bank in Latvia was prolonged, decreasing the
available facility's limit with the bank from EEK 21,905 thousand (EUR 1,400
thousand) to EEK 17,211 thousand (EUR 1,100 thousand) until 31 March 2010 and to
EEK 15,647 thousand (EUR 1,000 thousand) until 30 April 2010. Information on the
maturity of current borrowings is presented in Note 8 to the summarized
financial statements.
Tax liabilities and other payables, including payables to employees, amounted to
EEK 45,461 thousand (EUR 2,905 thousand). Provisions amounted to EEK 26,724
thousand (EUR 1,708 thousand) as of 31 December 2009 and included provisions for
the restructuring of Russian retail operations in the amount of EEK 2,425
thousand (EUR 155 thousand).
Sales from continuing operations
Women's apparel operations were fully divested as of 31 December 2009 after the
sale of PTA at the end of H1 2009 and are no longer part of continuing
operations of the Group. Continuing operations include design, production and
sale of women lingerie.

The majority of lingerie sales revenue in 2009 in the amount of EEK 677,420
thousand (EUR 43,295 thousand) was generated in the Russian market, accounting
for 58.5% of all lingerie sales in 2009 as compared to EEK 898,521 thousand (EUR
57,426 thousand) in 2008. Sales in Russia comprise both retail sales and
wholesale. The second largest region for lingerie sales was Belarus, where sales
reached EEK 306,016 thousand (EUR 19,558 thousand), contributing 26.4% of
lingerie sales (both retail and wholesale) as compared to EEK 361,169 thousand
(EUR 23,083 thousand) in 2008.
Although still affected by the economic situation and the devaluation of the
local currencies, sales in the major markets demonstrated positive trend in
terms of pieces sold in Q4 2009 as compared to the respective period in 2008. As
the result, in the Group's largest subsidiary SP ZAO Milavitsa, sales in Q4 2009
improved in volume terms as compared to Q4 2008; however, sales decreased in
monetary terms due to increased proportion of cheaper products in the sales and
additional discounts introduced in H2 2009. In Q4 2009 the Group suffered from
customer traffic slowdown attributable in part to swine flue worries and a
relatively cold winter.
Wholesale operations improved during the year as many of the Group's Russian and
Ukrainian wholesale partners realized their excess stock levels reducing them to
the normal operational levels after being overstocked in 2008 after a sharp
decrease in demand caused by the overall economic crisis.
Decrease in sales in Belarus was lower as compared to sales trends in Russia,
Ukraine and the Baltic countries, leading to the growing share of the Belarusian
market in the total sales in 2009 as compared to the previous year. This is an
effect of the more stable economic situation in Belarus compared to the
neighboring countries as well as the tight control over distribution that the
Group has developed in the country.
A number of actions have been introduced to the market including additional
marketing activities in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia and supportive measures in
the opening of new franchised stores. Dealers and distributors were motivated to
increase their sales activities in the exchange for favorable pricing
opportunities.
A new order processing and reservation system introduced by Milavitsa at the end
of Q2 allowed trading partners broader access to the Group's stock, speedier
packing and delivery. As the result Milavitsa managed to reach 2008 sales level
in terms of units sold during summer months and exceed last year's level in Q4
2009.
Changes in the top management of the Group's Russian operations took place in
the second half of 2009 in order to execute a new sales strategy in that core
market and improve corporate governance of the Russian subsidiaries of the
Group. Changes in the sales strategy were introduced to the trading partners in
late September and later developed and presented to the trading partners in
December. The Group targets increased control over its distribution and intends
to adjust its organizational structure accordingly.
In terms of lingerie brands, the sales of “Milavitsa” core brand accounted for
74.4% of total lingerie sales revenue in 2009 (2008: 76.1%) and amounted to EEK
848,139 thousand (EUR 54,206 thousand). The sales of “Lauma Lingerie” core brand
accounted for 5.3% of total lingerie sales (2008: 5.7%) and amounted to EEK
60,412 thousand (EUR 3,861 thousand). Other brands such as “Alisee”, “Aveline”,
“Hidalgo” and “Laumelle” comprised 20.3% of total lingerie sales in 2009 (2008:
18.2%), amounting to EEK 231,429 thousand (EUR 14,791 thousand) mainly due to
the growth of sales of lower priced goods under “Aveline” brand.
Wholesale
In 2009, wholesale revenue amounted to EEK 869,685 thousand (EUR 55,583
thousand), representing 75.1% of the Group's total revenue (2008: 75.2%). The
main wholesale regions were Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and the Baltic States.
Gradual improvements in sales were observed already in Q2 2009. Furthermore, the
second half of 2009 demonstrated an increase in lingerie wholesale revenue of
5.6% as compared to the first half of 2009 as many of the Milavitsa's Russian
and Ukrainian wholesale partners had adjusted their working capital levels to
the new market and trading circumstances caused by the crisis at the end of
2008. Most of the lingerie wholesale partners are located in Russia, a key
market for the Group.
A new channel of distribution was introduced in Ukraine by Milavitsa in late
2008 and early 2009. The channel allowed the Group to offset the sharp decrease
in sales caused by the economic crisis and the inability of the old distribution
network to address the new circumstances. Although still below the 2008 level,
sales in the Ukrainian market demonstrated positive trends in Q2 and Q3 2009. Q4
2009, however, saw a slowdown in Ukrainian sales caused by the difficult
economic situation in the country, flue quarantine in some shopping centres and
pre-election uncertainty.
Lauma Lingerie experienced a sharp reduction in sales in their major markets
being affected by the crisis to a greater extent due to its higher pricing
positioning and inability of the distribution partners to meet current market
conditions. Certain changes in the management of the company were made to
address the market realities. Lauma Lingerie is in the process of implementing a
revised sales strategy for its core markets including Russia, Ukraine and the
Baltics.
Retail operations
Total lingerie retail sales of the Group in 2009 amounted to EEK 270,295
thousand (EUR 17,275 thousand), representing a 24.4% decrease as compared to
2008.
Lingerie retail operations were conducted in Latvia, Russia, Belarus, and
Lithuania. At the end of 2009 the Group operated 64 own retail outlets with a
total area of 5,523 square meters. Additionally as of 31 December 2009 there
were more than 250 Milavitsa branded shops operated by Milavitsa trading
partners in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldavia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan,
Kirgizstan, Latvia, Romania, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Portugal and Cyprus, of which
10 shops were opened in Q4.
In 2009 17 new own lingerie stores were opened, including 12 under Milavitsa
name in Belarus, 2 stores under Lauma Lingerie brand name in Latvia, 1 under
Yamamay and 2 under Jockey brand names in Lithuania. Yamamay and Jockey shops
along with other shops in Lithuania were subsequently sold as a result of the
disposal by the Group of all its shares in UAB “Linert LT” in November 2009.
Further details of the transaction are provided in section ‘Key events'.
Additionally, 33 underperforming stores were closed: 13 PTA stores, 15 Oblicie
stores and 3 Milavitsa stores in Russia, 2 Milavitsa stores in Belarus. 18
Oblicie stores in Russia were rebranded to Milavitsa.

In Belarus, two ineffective stores were closed and 12 new Milavitsa stores were
opened, adding to the growth of the retail sales in the country. A number of
sales promotions were conducted in the Milavitsa retail chain. Own retail
operations in Belarus remain one of the key priorities for the Group's further
sales development in Belarus.
In the Baltics, retail sales decreased by 31.4% as compared to 2008, amounting
to EEK 19,214 thousand (EUR 1,228 thousand). The decision to divest the Group's
retail subsidiary in Lithuania was taken in H2 2009 due to adverse current
market situation and its prospects.
In respect of lingerie retail in Russia the strategic decision to shift focus
from own retail chain towards the development of Milavitsa franchise network was
made in H2 2009 to terminate the loss making own retail operations in Russia. As
the result, the Group's own Oblicie stores were rebranded to Milavitsa and a
transfer of stores to Milavitsa trading partners was commenced while
non-performing stores are being closed. Certain structural and management
changes have been made in the Group's Russian operations (including the
establishment of a separate franchise department and the recruitment of the new
experienced general manager) to implement the selected strategy.

from discontinued operations'.
Production, sourcing, purchasing and logistics
Due to increased uncertainty in the marketplace and sharply falling demand in Q4
2008 and Q1 2009 the Group's manufacturing companies reduced their production
and purchasing volumes in 2009. In addition, adjustments in the production
planning process were made to adjust for changing circumstances. For example,
the Group's largest production subsidiary SP ZAO Milavitsa switched from
quarterly production planning to monthly planning. As the result of the
adjustments in production and sourcing volumes as well as in the production
planning process, the Group was able to decrease inventories to normal levels.
Consequently, the Group's working capital position has improved significantly.
The total volume of production in SP ZAO Milavitsa amounted to 14,303 thousand
pieces in 2009, representing a 24.3% decrease as compared to the previous year.
The total production volumes in Lauma Lingerie amounted to 660 thousand pieces
in 2009, showing a decrease of 65.3% as compared to the previous year. In broad
terms, the utilisation of own production capacities in SP ZAO Milavitsa remained
at the level of 2008, while outsourced production capacities were the major
source for the production output decrease. However, at the end of 2009 the
number of cooperation partners for outsourced production in Q4 2009 increased by
30% compared to Q3 2009 with majority of new contracts concluded in late
December 2009 in order to prepare for the increased production volumes in 2010.
In respect of logistics, the implementation of a supply chain management system
on the basis of IFS software application is in process is planned to be
finalised in H1 2010.
Investment
In 2009, the Group's investments in continuing operations totalled EEK 22,750
thousand (EUR 1,454 thousand) with investments into retail amounting to EEK
6,478 thousand (EUR 414 thousand). Other investments were made in equipment and
facilities to maintain effective production.
Personnel
At the end of December 2009, the Group employed 3,164 employees including 472 in
retail and 1,992 in production. The rest were employed in wholesale,
administration and support operations. The average number of employees in 2009
was 3,085.
Total salaries and wages in 2009 amounted to EEK 262,597 thousand (EUR 16,783
thousand). The remuneration of the members of the Management Board totalled EEK
10,092 thousand (EUR 645 thousand). The members of the Management Board also
serve as executives for the Group's subsidiaries.
Key Events in 2009
Changes in significant shareholdings
The shareholders' register of SFG includes all legal owners of the shares but
does not necessarily reflect the allocation of voting rights among shareholders.
However, shareholders must notify SFG of changes in allocation of voting rights
where a shareholder increases or reduces its participation above or below 5, 10,
15, 20, 25 or 50 per cent, 1/3 or 2/3 of all votes represented by shares. Based
on such notifications, SFG identifies the persons holding significant
shareholdings.
Based on the aforementioned notifications received up to date, the following
persons held significant shareholdings in SFG based on notifications up to date:
Mr. Toomas Tool held 9,810,983 shares (24.52% of all votes) as of 28 December
2009;
Mr. Stephan David Balkin held 8,000,000 shares (20% of all votes) as of 23
December 2009;
Funds managed by Pioneer Pekao Investment Management SA held 2,065,529 shares
(10.16% of all votes) as of 14 August 2009.
During Q4 2010, the shareholding of SIA Alta Capital Partners reduced below 5%
of all votes to 1,864,286 shares (4.66% of all votes based on notification from
3 February 2010) and shareholdings of Mr. Toomas Tool and Mr. Stephan David
Balkin increased as indicated above.
Changes in the top management of the Group's Russian operations
Within the fourth quarter of 2009 Nikolay Dolgiy was appointed the general
manager for both of the Group's largest Russian subsidiaries - ZAO “STK
Milavitsa” and ZAO “Linret”. Mr. Dolgiy (33) is a skilled manager with over 10
years' experience in managerial positions, primarily in the field of retail.
From August 2009, Mr. Dolgiy worked as the first deputy general manager of STK
responsible for sales. This appointment marked the completion of the
restructuring of the Group's Russian operations.
Restructuring of Russian Retail Operations
In December 2009 an action plan was approved for the restructuring of the
Group's loss-making retail operations in Russia. The plan included the transfer
of Milavitsa retail outlets to franchise partners and the closing of inefficient
stores. Other cost-cutting measures under the action plan included the
optimisation of the office and warehouse lease expenses and a reduction in the
number of employees. The decision to switch to the franchise business model in
Russia followed similar reorganization measures in Poland and Lithuania.
Sale of UAB “Linret LT”
In November 2009 the Group closed the sale of all its shares in UAB Linret LT.
Linret LT was a Lithuanian retail subsidiary, operating 14 retail outlets.
Linret LT was engaged primarily in the distribution of Lauma Lingerie and
Milavitsa goods in Lithuania through retail chain under Amadea Line brand and
also operated franchised stores under Jockey and Yamamay brands. Linret LT made
a loss of EEK 9,278 thousand (EUR 593 thousand) in the first ten months of 2009.
Taking into account the decrease in consumer demand in Lithuania, and the
overall state of the Lithuanian economy, the management was of the opinion that
it was unlikely that Linret LT will become profitable in 2010 or will generate
positive cash flows in the observable future.
Taking into account the total investment of SFG in Linret LT, the transaction
generated an accounting profit of approximately EEK 782 thousand (EUR 50
thousand). The transaction is also expected to have a positive contribution to
the Group's financial performance in the future as the result of discontinuing
of loss-making operations. The Group intends to continue the shift to franchise
operations in Baltics under Lauma Lingerie brand.
Sale of PTA Grupp AS
On 30 June 2009 the Group entered into an agreement for the sale of all shares
in PTA held by the Group to PTA Holding OÜ for a total consideration of EEK
15,224 thousand (EUR 973 thousand). The transaction was performed immediately
upon signing. EEK 7,401 thousand (EUR 473 thousand) was paid on the date of the
closing of the transaction by way of taking over certain liabilities of the
Group and EEK 7,823 thousand (EUR 500 thousand) will be paid in cash by 31
December 2011 at the latest, carrying interest until full payment. The
obligation to pay the purchase price is secured by a share pledge over 100% of
all shares in PTA in favour of the Group.
PTA operates in the field of manufacture, retail and wholesale of women's
apparel under the „PTA“ trademark. With the sale of the apparel business, the
Group focused on its core business - design, manufacturing and sale of lingerie.
The sale enabled the Group to reallocate financial and managerial resources to
its core operations and improve the efficiency of management. PTA made a net
loss of EEK 12,189 thousand (EUR 779 thousand) in 6 months period ended 30 June
2009.
PTA Holding OÜ, the acquirer, is related to Peeter Larin (a member of the
management board in PTA), who was a member of the management board and is a
shareholder in PTA Holding OÜ. Therefore, the transaction was made with a
related party within the meaning of the Tallinn Stock Exchange rules. The
transaction was not a material transaction with a related party within the
meaning of the Tallinn Stock Exchange rules.
Changes in the composition of the Management Board
In Q1 2009 the Group named Ms. Baiba Gegere as the new Chief Financial Officer
of the Group and was appointed to the Management Board of SFG by the Supervisory
Board decision adopted on 4 March 2009.
In addition, in Q1 2009 SFG's Supervisory Board removed Mr. Remigiusz Pilat from
the Management Board with immediate effect in connection with the previously
disclosed changes in the structure of SFG's Polish operations.
In Q2 the Supervisory Board of the Group resolved to recall the members of the
Management Board Mr. Dmitry Podolinski and Mr. Peeter Larin and to appoint Mr.
Norberto Rodriguez as the new member of the Management Board of the Group. Mr.
Rodriguez joined the Group's management team as the Chief Logistics Officer in
October 2007. His main responsibilities include the development and
implementation of the corporate strategy in logistics. Currently Mr. Rodriguez
also serves as a Deputy General Director at Milavitsa being responsible for
logistics, IT, quality management and other business processes.
Sale of Splendo Polska Sp. z o.o.
The closing of the agreement for the sale of the Company's shares (90% of the
share capital) in Splendo Polska Sp. z o.o., a Polish retail subsidiary
operating 6 retail outlets, was completed in October 2009. The operating results
of Splendo Polska Sp. z o.o. were not consolidated in the Group's financial
results in 2009 and a loss related to the transaction was fully provided as of
31 December 2008.
