33. Description of Issuer’s primary areas of operations.

Food industry has gained maximum advantages as a result of devaluation of the ruble in 1998 and steady growth of the population’s real earnings in the last three years. Besides, the increasing flow of direct investment in the industry has led to a better quality of Russian-made products and their higher competitiveness. Regardless of the rising rate of the ruble in real terms, the share of imported goods in the consumption structure is about 3%. Thus competition in food industry is mainly centered around Russian brands. As a result, the rate of growth in food industry was the highest in the Russian economy, amounting to 11.5% in 2000 and 11.2% in 2001. Mindful of the expected GDP growth by 4-4.5% and 8% rise of the population’s real earnings in 2002, growth in food industry may exceed 9.5%.

There are sufficient grounds to hope that the industry’s consolidation, higher quality of products, and expected annual 5-6% rise in real earnings will help food industry remain among the leaders of Russia’s economic growth. The flow of foreign investment in the industry that has amounted to two-thirds of the total direct foreign investments in Russia in the last two years also confirms this assumption.

 

47



 

Recent industrial developments show that the consolidation of food industry is likely to bring about the emergence of large domestic producers capable of competing effectively on the market.

On the other hand, one may expect increasing competition on the part of foreign companies such as Danone, Parmalat, Campina and Erhmann that have set up the production of dairy products in Russia. Their market advantages include a large advertisement budget, advanced know-how for new products promotion, and access to cheap financial resources.

Foreign companies have also been expanding the variety of products. In the past their products were basically oriented toward the narrow premium segment (in the upper price bracket) whereas today foreign companies’ products are also designated for the mass consumer with an average income.

The primary area of the Company’s operations is control over and management of a group of its subsidiaries and other affiliated companies specified in this Prospectus, which manufacture and sell milk (dairy) products and juices (drinks, nectars) (hereinafter, in combination with the Company, referred to as the WBD Group). The Issuer also offers licensing agreements on the use of trademarks in its ownership. At that, the Issuer’s current and future operations plans are inseparably linked up with those of the WBD Group.

The Wimm-Bill-Dann Group is a major manufacturer of dairy products and juices. Around 70% of its revenue comes from the sales of dairy products and the rest 30%, from the sales of juices.

Since its establishment in 1992, the WBD Group has been a leader on the Russian market of dairy and juice-containing products. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine large Russian cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, in December 2001-January 2002, the WBD Group was in the lead on all packaged dairy products markets (with the exception of pasteurized milk): its share on the domestic market of traditional dairy products constituted 33%, in enriched milk products sales, 41%, and in yogurt and milk desserts sales, 46%. AC Nielsen’s study carried out in eleven large Russian cities showed that in 2001 the WBD Group’s share in the total domestic sales of juices reached 37.5% and 49.1% in Moscow, the main Russian juice consumer. The nineteen manufacturing facilities of the WBD Group are located in fifteen Russian and CIS cities; its distribution network covers 26 cities in the CIS, Germany, Israel, and Netherlands.

The main objective of the WBD Group is to provide consumers with top-quality food by way of a careful selection of raw materials, use of modern production technologies, and strict quality controls. All its products are manufactured on the basis of the Company’s own recipes mindful of domestic consumers’ preferences and tastes.

1.              Forecast of Future Developments on the Dairy Market.

The further consolidation of dairy and juice industry and stronger competition with foreign companies operating in Russia are likely to be major market tendencies. Given below is a segment-based market development forecast.

Milk is one of the most widespread food products in Russia popular among all age groups regardless of location and income. The milk market as a whole will develop steadily with a 5-percent annual consumption growth resulting from a rise in the gross yield and processing of milk in all categories of producers.

In spite of all its advantages, pasteurized milk prevalent on the market has an essential drawback – a short shelf life, which makes it less attractive for retail trade. Consequently,

 

48



 

the share of this type of milk is expected to go down in favor of sterilized milk. In addition, sterilized milk will be replaced by a new generation of the product without the specific sterilization after-taste, its shelf life over two weeks without cooling or cold storage.

Kefir (fermented milk, a traditional Russian dairy product). It is the most popular dairy product in Russia. Growth in the segment will result from changes in the consumption structure in favor of biokefirs, their production currently organized by local manufacturers. The consumption of traditional kefir is expected to decline

Curds (cottage cheese). The market is stable. An average 2-percent rise will be determined by the development of dairy production in general. Consumers are likely to switch over to curds desserts, which may reduce the consumption of traditional curds.

Rural and small town dwellers are primary consumers of ryazhenka (fermented baked milk) and bonnyclabber. Unlike bonnyclabber, ryazhenka is also popular among the population of large cities. The bonnyclabber segment is expected to shrink due to the reduction of rural population and decrease in the regional consumption of the product.

Cream. The main feature of the market is the reduction of the share of pasteurized cream in the total output because of a short shelf life and the growing share of sterilized cream. Consumption rise will mainly depend on the rate of income growth.

Butter. As a whole, the market development rate is expected to be 2-4% a year. A rise in butter consumption is unlikely to exceed 1-2%, the main growth factor being an increase in the production of margarine and combined varieties of butter, spreads, by 4-5% a year.

Viscous yogurt. It is one of the most dynamic segments of the dairy market. The development and growth of the viscous yogurt market in 2002-2003 will result from developing local production, Western producers’ coming out on the market (Pascual and Onken), and a rise in regional consumption. Unique products with new flavors, additives, useful properties, and biocultures will be the most dynamic part of the segment.

Potable yogurt. The segment is expected to develop dynamically since the market is still far from saturation, youth and teenagers’ consumption culture is still taking shape, and consumers are switching over to the product from traditional flavored kefir.

Viscous milk desserts. The market is still underdeveloped. It has more imported products than other markets. Yet, gradually, Russian manufacturers are turning to the production of viscous milk desserts. Underdeveloped consumption culture restrains consumption growth.

Liquid desserts. The market is sufficiently developed. Major consumers include both young people and children as well as adults. The segment will develop as a result of a rise in consumption among teenagers.

Juice and dairy products. It is the most dynamic category of milk products. It has a considerable growth potential due to the population’s striving for a healthy life style and consumption of low-fat vitamin-fortified products.

Curds desserts. The segment is developing rapidly given the traditional character of curds. A rise in the segment will mainly depend on the rate of growth of real earnings and consumers’ switching over from traditional cottage cheese to curds desserts.

Chocolate-coated cheese curds. Consumption culture in large cities is well-developed. Producers’ regional expansion and a wider variety of the products are expected to provide for the segment’s growth.

Condensed milk. It is a traditional food product used in pastry cooking. The market is developed. There are large and well-known producers. Growth can be achieved through a wider variety of products, new flavors, and new types of packaging.

 

49



 

2.              Forecast of Future Developments on the Juice and Juice-Containing Products Market.

The market’s growth will continue although the rate of growth may slow down. Yet it will remain high enough. Market capacity in 2001 was 1,100,000,000 liters – a 44-percent rise in comparison with the previous year. In 2002 juice consumption was supposed to increase by 26-30% and reach around 1,400,000,000 liters. The expected rise for 2003 is 20%.

The juice market’s growth results from the improvement of the economic situation in Russia, rising per capita income, and emergence of consumption culture with juice regarded as tasty and healthy food. Per capita consumption rose from 8 liters in 2001 to 10 liters in 2002. In large cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg) juice consumption is nearing European standards while Russia’s average per capita consumption of juices is twice lower than in Europe.

Stronger competition provoked by major manufacturers’ considerably expanded capacities will be the main market tendency in 2003. Consequently, the juice market is expected to consolidate further in the hands of four principal players that are likely to increase their market share at the expense of small regional producers whose share may go down to 5%.

 

History of the Issuer’s Foundation and Activities.

Open Joint-Stock Company “Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods” (hereinafter referred to as the Issuer or the Company) was registered on May 31, 2001. The purpose of its creation was to consolidate several production and trading companies, whose shares had been privately owned by a group of persons and were transferred to the Company by including them in authorized capital during its creation in 2001. Control over and management of the WBD Group are the Issuer’s principal areas of activity. In keeping with Article 4 of the Issuer’s Charter, “The main purpose of the Company is to fully satisfy the demand of legal entities and private persons in products (works, services), produced (performed, provided) in accordance with its charter activity, and to receive profits. On February 14, 2002, OJSC “Wimm-Bill- Dann Foods” completed the public issue of and registered common shares represented by American depositary receipts (ADR) at the New York Stock Exchange under the “WBD” symbol. Each ADR represents one basic common share of the Company.

The story of WBD Group began in 1992, when the first company owned by a group of persons rented a production line at the Lianozovo Dairy and purchased the first lot of juice concentrates and packaging materials. November 25, 1992 WBD Group produced its first pack of juice under the Wimm-Bill-Dann brand. This name had been chosen in order to attract consumers, who at that point preferred imported products due to their novelty to the market, and also because of the prevailing belief in the higher quality of imported goods. From the very first appearance on the market the name Wimm-Bill-Dann turned into a brand, known to and popular among the majority of Russian consumers.

 

Plans of the Issuer’s Future Activities.

 

Due to the specifics of the Issuer’s primary area of operations, the Issuer’s future activities plans should include a higher efficiency of WBD Group management. The Issuer’s future activities plans are closely connected with the plans of WBD Group. The use of trademarks

 

50



 

by WBD Group businesses, offered on the basis of licensing agreements, will constitute the Issuer’s main source of future income.

 

The WBD Group is constantly striving to dynamically develop its business and achieve further competitive advantages.

The growing dairy market demands an increase in production volumes without a decline in quality. An increase in juice production capacity is also planned.

One of the main competitive advantages of the WBD Group is its powerful and well-established network of independent distributors. In order to support the steady growth of sales, the construction of Cash&Carry stores will continue. The growth of additional income is planned through both promoting the primary brands of the WBD Group on the regional markets, and expanding the product range in order to fill major consumer segments, both in terms of flavors and prices.

In general, the plans of future activities of the Issuer and the WBD Group include an intention to fully satisfy the demand of legal entities and private persons in products (works, services), produced (performed, provided) in accordance with its Charter, and to receive profits.

To achieve these goals, the WBD Group will concentrate on the following areas of activity:

1) production of dairy products and juices. The Issuer is positive that the WBD Group has enough potential to retain and strengthen its leading position in this area;

2) higher efficiency of production. The WBD Group intends to improve the quality of its products, reduce costs, increase cash flows, and achieve a higher efficiency of work of its employees;

3) business growth resulting from the production of cheese. Domestic brands of cheese in the Russian Federation are mainly manufactured by small facilities producing traditional cheeses for mass consumption, characterized by low prices and inferior quality. Superior quality brands of hard and soft cheese are imported from Baltic states and other European countries. The WBD Group is planning to start the production of top-quality branded hard and soft cheeses in 2003.

4) business growth resulting from the production of mineral water. The WBD Group intends to concentrate on the primary areas of its activity. Yet it is also going to start the production of mineral water early in 2003. The WBD Group believes that despite relatively strong competition, this market segment has an essential potential given a correct marketing approach. The growth of mineral water consumption in summer is expected to make up for the declining seasonal demand for dairy products.

 

Major Types of Products (Works, Services).

The types of products (works, services) providing for no less than 10 percent of the Issuer’s volume of sales (proceeds) in the three full fiscal years preceding the date of approval of the decision to issue the bonds, or for each full fiscal year following the foundation provided the Issuer has been operating for less than three years, and for the last quarter preceding the date of approval of the decision to issue the bonds. All types of export products (works, services) shall be included herein.

The above shall also include the dynamics of changes in release prices for the Issuer’s products (works, services), also in comparison with the consumer price index or the industrial producers price index, published by the RF State Committee for Statistics.

Offering licensing agreements on the use of trademarks.

The Company’s primary area of operation is control over and management of a group of its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The main type of products (services) providing for over 10% of the Company’s volume of sales (proceeds) in 2001 and in the 9 months of 2002, is the offer of licensing agreements to WBD Group businesses to use trademarks.

In 2001-2002, the prices in licensing agreements on the use of trademarks were set in US dollars (payments were made in rubles at the rate of the RF Central Bank as of an appropriate date). In 2001 and the first nine months of 2002, the dollar prices in the above agreements did not change. Since the prices in licensing agreements were set in US dollars, the table below features relative changes in licensing agreement prices due to changes in the ruble-to-dollar ratio during the said period in order to make a comparison with changes in the consumer price index in Russia during a relevant period. The table shows that in 2001 the licensing agreement price in rubles went up by 3.7% while the consumer price index rose by 18.6%. In the 9 months of 2002, the licensing agreement price in rubles increased by 7%, and the index rose by 10.3%.

Thus the price rise for the Issuer’s services in 2001-9 months of 2002 was less than Russia’s total price rise.

Character of Sales:

 

Seasonal activity:

 

The Issuer makes no cyclic or seasonal sales of services. The WBD Group’s sales of diary products are of a seasonal character. Dairy products are in maximum demand in winter when domestic milk production hits rock bottom. Contrariwise, in summer demand for dairy products declines while the production of raw milk is at a maximum.

Juice sales are definitely seasonal. They go up in spring and especially during the period preceding the New Year holidays. Seasonal peaks fall on April and December. In spring the expansion of sales is conditioned by consumers’ care for their health; juice is regarded as a natural addition to fruits, as the only source of vitamins and a valuable product for daily consumption. The traditional sales spurt in December positively correlates with the general tendency toward intensive retail turnover before the New Year holidays and the population’s higher purchasing power.

The issuer’s suppliers whose share is no less than 10 percent of total tangible assets supplies:

None.

 

The Issuer does not have any suppliers of tangible assets. The Issuer is not engaged in import supplies. Raw materials for the WBD Group are supplied by Russian and CIS producers (Kyrghyzstan, Ukraine). The main raw material for dairy industry is raw milk produced in the territory of Russia. The raw materials for juices and juice-containing drinks are fruit and berry concentrates, the origin of which depends on the area of their growth (e.g. apples in Southern Russia, tomatoes in Eastern and Central Europe). The Tetra Pak company is one of the leading suppliers of packaging for the WBD Group. These sources will remain available in the future.

Markets.

Due to the specifics of the Issuer’s primary activity, the market for its services is determined by the number and location of the WBD Group facilities. A decline in the financial position of WBD Group businesses may be the only negative factor influencing the Issuer’s market of services. Today the WBD Group’s main market is the territory of the Russian Federation. The Issuer intends to expand the market geographically. The only major factor of possible decrease in demand for the Group’s products would be a sharp decrease in the population’s purchasing capacity, since the Group’s products belong to the convenience category. The possibility of stronger competition on the part of both domestic and foreign manufacturers of dairy and juice products is another negative factor.

Stock Management Practices.

The Issuer has no stocks and hence no stock management.

The Issuer’s policy in relation to working capital is aimed to increase its turnover and keep its amount at a minimum level necessary for current operations.

 

Major Competitors.

By virtue of its primary mission – control, management, and services in the interests of the WBD Group – the Issuer does not have competitors. Consequently, it would be impossible to analyze the Issuer’s market share and its competitiveness factors in terms of their importance and with an allowance for factor ratings.

The principal competitors of the WBD Group on traditional and enriched dairy products markets include Russian producers such as Petmol (St. Petersburg), Ostankinsky, Ochakovsky, and Cherkizovsky Dairies (Moscow) as well as small manufacturers in Russian regions. On the market of vitamin-fortified dairy products, the WBD Group competes mainly with Danone. As for yogurts, milk desserts, and, to some extent, dairy products for children, the main competitors of the WBD Group are foreign companies such as Danone, Campina, Onken u Ehrmann.

In the Issuer’s opinion, the WBD Group is expected to compete with the following companies on the dairy market in the near future:

1) Danone of France: the most active foreign company in Russia, pursuing an aggressive advertisement policy. It owns a dairy in the Volga region that produces natural yogurt, fruit-flavored yogurt, and kefir and a dairy in the Moscow region. The company’s products, both imported and made in Russia, are sold under the Danone trademark all over the Russian Federation through its own distribution network. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine Russian cities, in 2001 Danone’s sales in the yogurt and milk dessert segment amounted to 12% and in vitamin-fortified dairy products, 5%;

2) Petmol of St. Petersburg: produces a wide variety of dairy products, concentrating however on yogurts and desserts. Petmol’s shares are publicly quoted at the Russian stock exchange. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine Russian cities, in 2001 the company’s share was 9% in the traditional dairy segment and 8% in the yogurt and milk dessert segment while the share of Parmalat in the traditional dairy segment reached 2%;

3) Ochakovsky Dairy of Moscow: a major dairy producer in Russia and principal competitor of the WBD Group in Moscow. Its products are very popular among consumers. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine Russian cities, in 2001 the company’s share was 5% in the traditional dairy segment and 4% in the enriched products segment.

The principal competitors of the WBD Group on the domestic juice market include Parmalat of Italy and medium- and small-size Russian producers such as:

 1) Multon of St. Petersburg: its share on the national and Moscow markets was 29 and 18.7% accordingly in 2001 as shown by the study conducted by AC Nielsen in eleven Russian cities. Dobry and Niko juice brands and other products of the company appeared on the Moscow market in 1998 and have won considerable market shares since then, primarily, due to an aggressive pricing policy;

2) Lebedyansky of the Lipetsk region: the company’s share on the national and Moscow markets was 10.9 and 14.5% accordingly in 2001 as shown by the study conducted by AC Nielsen in eleven Russian cities. Its Tonus and Ya brands have become very popular among consumers and effectively compete with juices produced by local manufacturers;

3) Nidan-Ekofrukt of Novosibirsk: a Russian-US joint venture whose share was 6.4% both on the national and Moscow markets in 2001 according to AC Nielsen’s study carried out in eleven large Russian cities.

The WBD Group gets mineral water from an underground spring in Valdai. The region is famous for top-quality mineral water. There is a facility in Nizhny Novgorod that bottles small amounts of mineral water. The WBD Group is planning to start a serial production of mineral water early in 2003 and full-scale production in mid 2003. Historically, the consumption of noncarbonated mineral water has not been widespread in Russia. The situation, however, is radically changing under the effect of environmental factors. The consumption of bottled drinking water is growing rapidly in large Russian cities. The mineral water market is expanding not only in terms of volume but also in terms of a wider variety of products and new trademarks. Furthermore, the number of superior quality brands is growing, and the share of imported brands is going down. In the Issuer’s opinion, the WBD Group’s principal competitors include Aqua Minerale (Pepsi trademark), BonAqua (Coca-Cola trademark) as well as Borzhomi, Narzan, and Svyatoi Istochnik produced at CIS facilities. The WBD Group is planning to position its new trademark in modern style by emphasizing the mineral origin of the water and produce it with different degrees of carbonation (still, medium-carbonated, and highly carbonated) in bottles of different sizes for consumers’ better choice.

 

Analysis of the WBD Group’s Competitive Factors.

 

The WBD Group has a number of advantages over other Russian producers: high productive capacity, superior quality of products, high-level innovation, and opportunities for new products development and marketing. Other competitive advantages which, in the

 

56



 

Issuer’s opinion, enable the WBD Group to retain its leading position on the Russian market, include: strong and diversified trademarks, unobstructed access to raw material sources, extensive sales network, emphasis on the development of new products, modern manufacturing facilities and technologies, external financing opportunities, and efficient leadership. The WBD Group intends to take advantage of those opportunities by pursuing a sales promotion strategy focused on superior quality products and development of new products that would not be inferior to their Western analogs in taste and consistence.

Some Russian producers, however, have certain advantages over the WBD Group, related to a lower cost of production and lower advertisement and shipment expenses. Recent industrial tendencies also show that the consolidation of the industry may lead to the emergence of large domestic producers capable of competing with the WBD Group on the market.

Foreign dairy producers have a large advertisement budget and advanced manufacturing know-how permits them to offer top-quality products made on the basis of up-to-date technologies through well-established sales systems. In the past foreign companies focused on concrete market niches, more often than not, on the premium segment (upper price range) whereas today they are increasingly turning to products for the average consumer with an average income. Besides, such companies as Danone, Parmalat, Campina, and Erhmann have begun investing in Russian manufacturing businesses, which may reduce the competitiveness of WBD Group products, for the competitors now have an opportunity to produce their commodities in Russia. For example, Danone, owning two Russian diaries, has put several yogurt brands on the Russian market, some of them developed specifically for Russian consumers. Campina of Netherlands, also owning a dairy in Russia, makes fresh yogurts and yogurts with a long shelf life. Erhmann of Germany makes yogurt at a Russian dairy, and Onken and Pascual, also foreign companies, are planning to open manufacturing facilities in Russia. As a result of the growing output of yogurts and milk desserts in Russia, the above foreign companies have become the WBD Group’s principal competitors in this market segment.

 

Values of market shares that, in the Issuer’s opinion, it and its competitors have had (percentage) in the three full fiscal years preceding the date of approval of the decision to issue the bonds, or for each full fiscal year following the date of foundation provided the Issuer has been operating for less than three years:

 

Analysis of the Issuer’s Competitive Factors:

 

  By virtue of its primary mission – control, management, and services in the interests of the WBD Group – the Issuer does not have competitors. Consequently, it would be impossible to analyze the Issuer’s market share and its competitiveness factors in terms of their importance and with an allowance for factor ratings.

 

20.9: Risk Factors:

In several recent years an economic growth is observed in Russia. In 2000, the growth of Gross Domestic Product was 9%, in 2001 - 5,0%, in 2002 the expected growth is about 4%. The development of the food industry is especially rapid. The increase of population’s effective demand maintains the appeal of investments in Russia food industry, making it one of most dynamically developing economic sectors. The economic crisis of 1998, which closed the Russian market for import of foodstuff, however allowed to Russian companies to grow high and this made impossible the resumption of the same volumes of the delivery of foreign foodstuff, even if one takes into consideration a constant increase of the real

 

57



 

rate of the Russian rouble. Presently, an average part of food imported into RF forms about 3% of the common consumption. By experts’ view, today the food sector is one most rapidly developing branches of the Russian economy. Networks of supermarkets prefer to lay in a stock Russian goods since they have lower prices and do not loose against their western analogues by the quality (and are even more attractive in some cases) . The creation of large holding companies with widely developed commercial networks and large production capacities and facilities in various regions is vitally important for food companies whose products cannot be transported for large distances and transport expenses often compose an essential part of the costs.

 

However, nobody can ensure that the last trends observed in the Russian economy, e.g., the increment of the Gross Domestic Product, relative stability of the rouble, and an insignificant inflation, will continue and that no sharp changes will take place in future. The oil and gas price fluctuations, strengthening of the real rouble rate with respect to US dollar, and consequences of a certain relaxation in the monetary politics may reflect adversely on the state of the Russian economy, the development of the food industry, and the future Issuer’s activities.

For a growth of the food industry the developed infrastructure is of large importance. The infrastructure objects of Russia, basically, were created in Soviet time and did not receive significant investments during the last decade. The infrastructure objects of railroads and transport roads, objects of power supply, communications, and housing stock infrastructure objects are in the most complicated state and situation. Federal Government carries out active work on reorganisation of the system of railroad, electric power, and telephone communications of the country. Any reorganisation of that kind may result in growth of tariff level on railroad transportation, electric power, and telephone services in combination with an impossibility to receive the expected income as concerns the investments necessary for carrying out repairs, technical maintenance, and modernisation of such systems. The ill-being of the Russian infrastructure objects deteriorates the country economy, results in stoppage in delivery of goods and services, an increase of expenses related to business activities in Russia. A deterioration of the situation in the industry and situation of the Issuer in the industry can be a result of:

1) lowering effective demand of the population with respect to the products of WBD Group in view of deterioration of the financial and economic situation of population in the regions, consumers of food industry products produced by the WBD Group;

2) possible deterioration of the fulfilment of the Budget of Russian Federation due to large volume of payments implied by the external debt of Russia in 2003 and decrease of incomes of workers of budget sphere;

3) growth of the business competition in the industry.

By Issuer’s estimates, industrial risks are minimal for WBD Group companies. In the production of milk products and juices Wimm-Bill-Dann- Group is the leader of industry, controlling significant parts of market. To minimise the industry risks, Wimm-Bill-Dann Group acts as follows:

1) orientation to diversification of production;

2) long-term programs of production;

3) development of programs for lowering expenses related to production, active investment politics as concerns the technical and technological rearrangement of manufacturing capabilities and production basis in order to augment the competitive abilities and capacities of group companies.

 

As a tax-payer, Issuer has been registered in Moscow. Taking into account that the group

 

58



 

of companies controlled and served by Issuer acts on significant part of the territory of Russia, some CIS countries and abroad, the influence of one separate region upon the activities of Issuer and the whole WBD Group is minimal. Deterioration of production activities of WBD Group can take place only in view of a general deterioration of the economic situation in entire Russia, which can be considered as a rare event. In this case, the reduction of incomes due to Russian enterprises can be counter-balanced by incomes from abroad enterprises.  This will not essential change the fulfilment of obligations related to Notes.

Issuer is characterised by high level of credit quality and low level of credit risk. During 2001 and 9 months of 2002,  the part of debt capital with respect to proper capital and reserves reduced from 3.44% to 0.07%.  The creditworthiness of Issuer is ensured by high values of supplementary capital and also by the amount of the net wealth.  Within 9 months of 2002 an almost 9 times increase of net wealth of Issuer took place with respect to 2001, the authorised capital stock risen from 700 million roubles up to 880 million roubles. Thus, Issuer improved significantly its financial situation.

 

Demand for dairy and juice products, as well as bottled water, depends primarily on demographic factors and consumer preferences as well as factors relating to discretionary consumer spending, including the general condition of the economy and general levels of consumer confidence. The willingness of consumers to purchase branded food and beverage products depends in part on local economic conditions. In periods of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to purchase more economy brands and, to the extent that our business strategy depends on the expansion of the sales of premium brands, our results of operations could suffer. Reduced consumption of our products in any of our key markets could reduce our turnover and profitability.

 

Our expansion strategy depends on funding growth in additional markets with cash flow generated in our existing markets, on our ability to identify attractive opportunities in markets that will grow and on our ability to manage the operations of acquired or newly established businesses.  Should growth decline in our existing markets, not increase as anticipated in markets in which we have recently acquired or established businesses, or not increase in markets into which we subsequently expand, our geographic expansion strategy may not be successful and our business and profitability may suffer.

 

Our strategy depends on us being a large manufacturer in the dairy and juice sectors so that we can benefit from economies of scale, better satisfy customer needs and compete effectively against other producers. Our growth will suffer if we are unable to implement our acquisition strategy, whether because we fail to identify suitable targets, outbid competing bidders or finance acquisitions on acceptable terms or for any other reason. Furthermore, any acquisitions or similar arrangements may harm our business if we are unsuccessful in integration process or fail to achieve the synergies and savings we expect.

 

Our business expansion strategy contemplates our entry into new product categories, development of new products and marketing new brands in existing product lines. This strategy is designed to increase our market share and revenues by increasing consumer demand in our existing markets and entering into new market segments. The success of this strategy depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate the tastes and dietary habits of consumers and to offer products that appeal to their preferences. Our failure to anticipate,

 

59



 

identify or react to changes in consumer preferences could negatively affect our expansion strategy.

 

Our success depends in part on our continued ability to be an efficient producer in a highly competitive industry. If we cannot continue to control costs through productivity gains or by eliminating redundant costs resulting from acquisitions, our results of operations will suffer. In particular, price increases and shortages of packaging and raw materials could adversely affect our results of operations. For example, our results of operations may be affected by the availability and pricing of packaging materials, principally cardboard and plastic containers, and raw materials, principally raw milk and juice concentrate. We are substantially dependent upon a single supplier of packaging materials, which may make us more vulnerable to changes in global supply and demand and their effect on price and availability of these materials. Additionally, weather conditions and other factors beyond our control significantly influence the price and availability of our raw materials. Moreover, a number of our raw materials, such as juice concentrate and sugar are international commodities and are subject to international price fluctuations. While the prices of these materials have historically not been subject to significant volatility, a substantial increase in the prices of these materials, which we may not be able to pass on to customers through price increases, or a protracted interruption in supply, could have a material adverse effect on our financial situation.

 

The food industry’s growth potential is constrained by population growth, which has been falling in Russia. Our success depends in part on our ability to expand our business faster than populations are growing in the markets that we serve, or notwithstanding declines in the populations in those markets. One way to achieve that growth is to enhance our portfolio by adding products and greater production capacity in faster growing and more profitable categories. If we do not succeed in making these enhancements, our results of operations will suffer.

 

In 2002, the Moscow city government purchased approximately 62% of the baby food products we produced in Moscow at a discount of 1% from the market price of these products, and the proceeds of the baby food products sold to the Moscow city government made up 50% of the total proceeds of the Moscow Baby Food Plant. We supply these products to the Moscow city government pursuant to a tender held on a yearly basis. In the event that we were to lose a tender, or the Moscow city government were to reduce significantly the prices or the amount of products it purchases from our baby food business, and we were unable to find alternative purchasers, then our revenues from this business could be substantially reduced

 

We sell our products either directly to retailers, including supermarkets, grocery shops and restaurants, or to wholesalers for resale to retail outlets. We expect sales to independent retailers and wholesalers to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. Our operations and distribution costs could be affected by the increasing consolidation of these entities, particularly as these customers become more sophisticated and attempt to force lower pricing and increased promotional programs. For example, in the spring of 2001, several Russian supermarket chains formed a loose alliance which publicly announced its intention not to purchase our products Although these supermarket chains now purchase our products , there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so or that other supermarket chains will not attempt a similar consolidation of market power. This

 

60



 

alliance also intends to seek price discounts from manufacturers. Additionally, a number of large Western retailers, such as the Turkish retailer Ramenka, the German retailer Metro and the French retailer Auchan, have already opened stores in the Moscow region, and we expect that these retailers will increase price competition.

 

We also compete with other brands for shelf space in retail stores and marketing focus by our independent wholesalers and retailers, and our independent wholesalers and retailers offer other products, sometimes including their own brands, that compete directly with our products. If independent wholesalers and retailers give higher priority to other brands, purchase less of, or even refuse to buy, our products, seek substantial discounts, or devote inadequate promotional support to our brands, it could materially and adversely affect our turnover, reduce our competitiveness, and our profitability.

 

In exporting our products to a country, we attempt to meet the standards and requirements of applicable legislation governing the import of food products into such country.  Independent distributors have, in some cases, attempted to export our products to other countries that did not meet the requirements of applicable legislation.

For instance, one of our independent dairy distributors exported our Darling Mila milk to the United States in January 2003.  This milk was subsequently recalled from stores in February 2003 when food inspectors discovered that the milk contained sulfonamide.  Whereas Russian legislation permits limited amounts of sulfonamide in milk, the United States does not.  The recall, which was publicized in the Russian press, and any similar events that may occur in the future could negatively impact our reputation in the Russian Federation and CIS and abroad, and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We do not carry full insurance for our facilities for risks commonly insured against in other countries. In the event that a major event were to affect one of our facilities, we could experience substantial property loss and significant disruptions in our production capacity. For example, if substantial production capacity were lost at Lianozovo Dairy Plant, which is our primary production facility, we would not be able to replace a substantial portion of this capacity with capacity from our other plants, potentially resulting in the interruption of the production of a number of our products. Additionally, depending on the severity of the property damage, we may not be able to rebuild in a timely manner or at all. We do not maintain separate funds or otherwise set aside reserves for these types of events

 

Given the importance of brand recognition to our business, we have invested considerable effort in protecting our portfolio of intellectual property rights, including trademark registration. However, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will be sufficient or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights. Moreover, Russia and the other countries of the CIS in which we operate generally offer less intellectual property protection than Europe or North America. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights against infringement or misappropriation, it could materially harm our future financial results and our ability to develop our business.

 

Our operations and properties are subject to regulation by various government entities and agencies. As a producer of food products, our operations are subject to production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution standards. The operations of our production and distribution facilities are also subject to various environmental laws and workplace regulations. We believe that our current legal and environmental compliance programs adequately address these concerns and that we are in substantial compliance with

 

61



 

applicable laws and regulations. However, compliance with, or any violation of, current and future laws or regulations could require material expenditures by us or otherwise adversely effect our business or financial results.

Additionally, under relevant Russian legislation, Russian regulatory agencies can impose various sanctions for violations of environmental standards. These sanctions include may civil and administrative penalties applicable to a company and criminal penalties applicable to its officers.  Also, in the course, or as a result, of an environmental investigation, regulatory authorities can issue an order halting part or all of the production at a plant which has violated environmental standards. We have been, at various times, subject to administrative sanctions for the failure to comply with environmental regulations relating to effluent discharge and to minor administrative sanctions for other violations. In the event that production at one of our facilities was partially or wholly prevented due to this type of sanction, our production capability would suffer significantly and our operating results would suffer.

The procedure of determining of income (interest rate) on each bond

 

The interest rate on the first coupon will be determined according to the results of an auction held at MICEX.

The interest rate on the first coupon will be calculated as the sum of the following two components:

                  the level of inflation for the respective one-year period, defined as the Consumer Price Index of Russia for the calendar month ending no later than 45 days before the placement start date, as a percentage relative to the same of the preceding year, minus 100%. The CPI is calculated by the RF State Statistics Committee in accordance with a resolution of the RF State Statistics Committee dated March 25, 2002, monthly as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year;

                  an inflation premium.

The CPI will be published on the Troika Dialog Investment Company website (www.troika.ru) no later than 10 days before the placement start date.

On the day of the auction to determine the interest rate on the first coupon, members of the Stock Market Section of MICEX will submit orders for the auction using the MICEX trading system both at their own expense and at the expense and on the instructions of their clients. The time of submission of orders for the auction will be established by MICEX. Orders to buy bonds will be submitted by members of the stock market section of MICEX to the Underwriter with the following significant terms specified:

 

82



 

a.1)                           Purchase price: 100% of the face value;

a.2)                           Number of bonds that the potential buyer would like to acquire if the Issuer were to set an interest rate on the first coupon greater than or equal to the acceptable first-coupon interest rate specified in the order;

a.3)                           Acceptable interest rate on the first coupon. “Acceptable interest rate on the first coupon” means the interest rate at which, if such interest rate on the first coupon were announced by the Issuer, the potential investor would be prepared to buy the number of bonds specified in the order at the price of 100% of the face value. The acceptable interest rate on the first coupon shall be expressed in percent per annum to a precision of 1/100 (one-hundredth) of one percent;

Funds must be reserved in an amount sufficient to make full payment for the bonds specified in the orders, including MICEX’s commission.

Orders in which one or more of the aforesaid significant terms do not conform to the requirements set forth in sections a.1–a.3 and orders not backed by funds as provided in the preceding paragraph will not be accepted for the auction to determine the interest rate on the first coupon.

Upon the end of the submission period for orders for the auction to determine the interest rate on the first coupon, MICEX will prepare a register of the orders received and deliver the register to the Issuer and the Underwriter.

On the basis of an analysis of the orders submitted for the auction, the Issuer will adopt a resolution setting the interest rate on the first coupon and deliver a written copy of the adopted resolution to the Underwriter and MICEX.

1.1.5. The rate of interest on the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth (C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6) shall be calculated from the level of inflation for the corresponding one-year period (as defined below). The level of inflation shall be determined on the basis of the Consumer Price Index for Russia calculated monthly by the RF State Statistics Committee in accordance with RF State Statistics Committee Resolution No. 23 of March 25, 2002, as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year. The interest rate on each of the aforesaid coupons shall be calculated using the following formula:

 

Cj = (C1 - Inflation 12M1) + Inflation 12Mj,

where

Cj = the interest rate for the jth coupon in percent per annum, j = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;

C1 = interest rate of the first coupon, in percent per annum;

Inflation 12M1 = the CPI calculated by the RF State Statistics Committee for the calendar month ending no later than 45 days before the date of placement of the Bonds, as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year, minus 100%;

Inflation 12Mj =  the CPI calculated by the RF State Statistics Committee for the calendar month ending no later than 45 days before the start date of the jth coupon period, as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year, minus 100%;

(C1 - Inflation 12M1) = the inflation premium calculated after determination of the interest rate on the first coupon to a precision of 1/100 (one-hundredth) of one percent;

 

The CPI is provided by the RF State Statistics Committee upon request. The CPI will be published on the website of Troika Dialog Investment Company (www.troika.ru) 10 days before the start of the respective coupon period.

 

83



 

If a negative value for Cj is obtained from the formula specified above, Cj shall be taken as equal to zero; if the obtained value of Cj is greater than 25%, Cj shall be taken as equal to 25%.

If, during the period of circulation of the Bonds, the official procedure for calculating the CPI and the normative act establishing the procedure for calculating the CPI are altered or the CPI is replaced by an index similar in purpose to the CPI, the interest rate for a coupon will be determined using the CPI (or its similar replacement) calculated in accordance with normative acts in force at the time of its calculation.

If information on the CPI is not published by the RF State Statistics Committee and not published on the Internet website of Troika Dialog Investment Company by the date necessary to calculate the interest rate for a coupon (as set forth above), the value of Inflation 12Mj for that coupon shall be taken as equal to the value of Inflation 12Mj for the preceding coupon.

 

Grounds for early redemption of Bonds

For purposes of defining the grounds for early redemption of Bonds, the following definitions are used:

Issuer Group - all companies, including the Issuer, consolidated for purposes of the Issuer’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, which are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP).

Issuer’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements - the consolidated and combined financial statements of the Issuer, prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Net Assets - Assets minus liabilities and minority interests, according to the Issuer’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statement.

EBITDA - earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted taking into account minority interests, according to the Issuer’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. If the Issuer has made investments in consolidated subsidiary companies during the period for which EBITDA is calculated, EBITDA is calculated as if the investments were made on the first day of that reporting period.

All information received by the Underwriter from the Issuer of the Bonds must be published within 5 (five) business days of its receipt, by placement on the Underwriter’s website (www.troika.ru). When the information concerns the occurrence of a Ground for Redemption and the start date of acceptance of early redemption applications by the Issuer, such information shall also be published in the newspaper Vedomosti.

Early redemption procedure and conditions

 

The Issuer will perform early bond redemption on the basis of an application from the owner of the Bonds containing a request for early redemption, or on the basis of the presentment of such a request. Therewith, owners of Bonds are entitled to present Bonds for early redemption only after the registration of the Report on Results of the Bond Issue.

 

If information subject to disclosure in the manner specified above contains information concerning actions taken by an Issuer Group Company that result in the elimination of a Ground for Early Redemption, an owner of Bonds is not entitled to present a demand for early redemption, provided that the owner knew or could have learned about the occurrence of the Ground for Early Redemption from such information.

 

During the 5 (five) business days following the later of the dates of publication by the Underwriter in the Vedomosti newspaper and on the Underwriter’s site of information concerning the occurrence of any Ground for Early Redemption of Bonds and concerning the start date of acceptance of early redemption applications (“Period for Presentment of Bonds for Early Redemption”), owners of Bonds or nominee holders authorized to present Bond for early redemption are entitled to present Bonds for early redemption by sending a corresponding application in writing to the Underwriter.

If the applicant is a nominee holder, documents confirming the authority of the nominee holder to present Bonds for early redemption must be attached to the application.

 

An owner of Bonds is also entitled to send an early redemption application to the Underwriter if information concerning the occurrence of a Ground for Redemption has been received by the owner from third parties, provided, however, that at the time the

application is presented the Underwriter has not published information concerning the Ground for Redemption specified in the application. In such case, the application must contain, in addition to the documents and information specified above, the grounds for presentment of such application and references to the source of the information. Within 5 (five) business days of receiving such an application, the Underwriter must publish information concerning the start of acceptance of early redemption applications in the manner specified above or send a reasoned refusal of early redemption to the applicant, including by reason of elimination of the Ground for Redemption.

 

From the time the Underwriter receives a written early redemption application from an owner or nominee holder, no operations of the owner with the Bonds contemplated by the application will be performed, except operations involved in the redemption of the Bonds and/or payment of income thereon.

 

No later than 5 (five) business days after the end date of the acceptance of early redemption applications, the Underwriter will provide the Issuer, the Payment Agent, and the Depositary with a list of the owners and/or nominee holders who submitted applications for early redemption of Bonds within the Period for Presentment of Bonds for Early Redemption.
