issued on March 23, 2007, we inform that preparation of the modernization       
process in JSC “Liepajas metalurgs” goes on already for a long while but        
calculated costs, because of rise of prices and rise of necessary work amount,  
of this process during the last meetings were about 250 Mio EUR. During the last
meeting there were discussed the questions regarding the Project of the         
agreement and technical specifications.
