There are no other Issuers obligations.
The goal of bonds series 02 issuance is to refinance the current activities of the Issuer and to finance the investment program.
The Issuer carries out significant capital investments, regarding extension of its activities, modernization of equipment and acquisition of new enterprises. In order to accomplish capital investment program of the Group, including expenses incurred on acquisition of new enterprises the Issuer spent in 2003 117,1 mln. USD, in 2004 77,9 mln. USD, in 2005 the capital expenditures are to be about 100 mln. USD.
About 63 mln. USD had been invested for the period since 2002 up to 2005 in acquisition of enterprises in Russia and CIS. The Issuer carries out significant capital investments, regarding modernization of acquired assets, reconstruction and expansion of production facilities, particularly, all plants are equipped with modern packaging and manufacturing equipment, infrastructure had been improved. Reconstruction of plants and installation of new production lines allows to improve quality of products.
According to our strategy to produce dairy products in the region where they are to be consumed, production facilities had been equipped with Tetra Pak (Sweden) production lines. These lines are designed for packaging of dairy products, as well as juices and nectars in cardboard packages, packaging of yoghurts, curd, milk desserts, and production of juice products in plastic bottles.
In succeeding years capital expenditures are planned to be about 100 mln. USD per year and will be aimed at improvement of infrastructure, modernization and acquisition of enterprises, equipment of warehouses and maintenance of existing production facilities.
2.5. Risks associated with acquisition of placed securities (securities to be placed)
The issuer describes risks and uncertainties, that our management believes to are essential, but but these risks and uncertainties may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those we currently do not know or deem immaterial, could result in a decline in the price of issuers securities.
Due to the specifics of the Issuers principal business, its risks, which might lead to reduction of the securities price, are conditional, to a greater extent, on the consolidated risks of the companies controlled by the Issuer directly or indirectly.
14
For the purposes of this section the terms Company, WBD Group, group of companies WBD, WBD shall mean both the Issuer separately, and together with the companies it controls.
2.5.1. Risks Relating to Industry
The influence of the possible depression in the industry and the issuers proposed reaction regarding such depression and its obligations under securities:
1. The food industrys growth potential is constrained by population growth, which has been falling in Russia, and growth in personal income. 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.
2. 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 and value-added products, our results of operations could suffer. Reduced consumption of our products in any of our key markets could reduce our turnover and profitability.
3. Although juice consumption in Russia is increasing, our juice product sales volume decreased in 2003 and 2004 due to vigorous market competition from domestic producers, increased activity by foreign producers and the revision of our distribution system. This problem could be solved by active advertising campaign, promoting sales growth rate of beverages and explaining to consumers the advantages of high quality and more expensive production.
4. WBD competes with other brands for shelf space in retail stores and marketing focus by our independent distributors and retailers, and our independent distributors and retailers offer other products, sometimes including their own brands that compete directly with our products. Reduction of such risks can be achieved by establishing constant and mutually beneficial relationships with retailers and independent distributors and promote consumers demand for WBD production.
5. Independent distributors may export our products to countries where such products do not meet the requirements of applicable legislation. Independent distributors may export our products to countries where such products do not meet the requirements of applicable legislation. The consequent recalls of our products and the associated negative publicity may adversely affect our reputation in the Russian Federation, the Commonwealth of Independent States, or CIS, and abroad and materially adversely affect our results of operations. In exporting our products, we attempt to meet the standards and requirements of applicable legislation governing the import of food products into the importing country.
6. New regulations impacting food producers in Russia could cause us to incur substantial additional compliance costs or administrative penalties which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. The regulation of food production and quality has been undergoing a constant reform in the past decade and frequently changes. At the moment WBD complies with all requirements and standards, and in case of their changes and failure to comply with the new legislation, WBD will try to get necessary permissions to extend the period on matching WBD activities in accordance with new legislation.
7. Increased domestic production by our foreign competitors could reduce our competitive advantages against them, which would have a material adverse effect on our market share and results of income level. A number of our foreign competitors, such as Danone, Parmalat, Campina, Ehrmann, Onken, and Pascuale, have begun to invest
15
in domestic production facilities, while others, such as Coca-Cola, have acquired domestic producers. Other companies, such as Coca-Cola try to acquire domestic producers. Such investments and acquisitions reduce WBD production competitive ability in comparison with production of foreign competitors, who have domestic productive capacities. A continuation of this trend may result in increased competition for qualified personnel and higher labor costs, and would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
In order to minimize possible adverse effect in industry on WBD activities, WBD provides a strategy directed on the expansion of production, proposed to develop new categories of production. The aim of this strategy is to extend consumers demand in existing market segments and to develop new market segments. Successful completion of this strategy partially depends on ability to foresee taste and preferences of consumers and to offer production corresponding to consumers expectations.
Risks related to possible changes of prices on raw material and services used be the issuer in its activities and influence of these changes on the issuers activities and performance of its obligations under securities:
1. Rise in prices and lack of packaging and raw materials.
WBD results depend on availability and prices on packaging materials, especially on cardboard and plastic containers, as well as raw materials, principally on milk and juice concentrate. WBD is substantially dependent upon one supplier of packaging materials, Tetra Pak, 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. A number of our raw materials, such as juice concentrate and sugar, are international commodities and are subject to international price fluctuations, and we experienced significant increases in raw milk prices during 2003 and 2004.
Seasonal difference between the demand for dairy products and the supply of raw milk and the increasing prices of raw milk could result in a significant increase raw milk price. The demand for our dairy products is significantly higher during winter months, when Russian raw milk production is at its lowest. Conversely, during summer months we generally experience depressed demand for dairy products in many markets, while raw milk production is at its peak. This problem could be solved either through the purchase of raw milk during winter at commercially competitive prices or through the use of dry milk. In other case these factors could lead to significant rise in prime costs of our production in winter and reduction of our profitability.
In addition, raw milk prices increased in ruble terms by approximately 11% in 2003 and 17% in 2004. The price increases are due, in part, to the raw milk shortages caused by the ongoing decline of dairy cattle in Russia. These increases adversely affected our dairy product profit margins in 2003 and 2004, and continued increases in raw milk prices could further reduce our profitability. The shortage of high quality raw milk, coupled with the raw milk price increases, may also limit our ability to expand our production of high margin value-added dairy products.
2. Our substantial reliance on independent retailers and independent distributors for the distribution of our products could lower our turnover and reduce our competitiveness.
WBD sells our products either directly to retailers, including supermarkets, grocery shops and restaurants, or to independent distributors for resale to retail outlets. We expect sales to retailers and independent distributors 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, it could result in increased production sale costs.
WBD also competes with other brands for shelf space in retail stores and marketing focus by our independent distributors and retailers, and our independent distributors and retailers offer other products, sometimes including their own brands that compete directly with our products. If independent distributors 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 lower our turnover and reduce our competitiveness and profitability.
16
4. Efficient advertising in conditions of advertising service price growth.
Advertising service price on leading national television channels is growing every year (exceeded 37% in 2004), such situation, in conditions of high competition and necessity of active advertising of production, may lead to the rise of the companys expenses .
5. Increasing tariffs and restructuring in the transport sector could have a materially adverse effect on our business.
Railway transportation is one of our principal means of transporting supplies and juice and water products to our facilities and customers, accounting for approximately 63% of our juice transportation expenses in 2004. Currently, the Russian government sets rail tariffs and may further increase these tariffs as it did in 2003 and 2004. Railroad tariffs increased by approximately 40% in ruble terms in 2003 and additional 32% in ruble terms in 2004, and further increases are expected throughout 2005.
In 2003, legislation was enacted which sets out the framework for the reorganization of the Russian Railways Ministry into OAO Russian Railroads, a joint-stock company, to be followed by the eventual privatization of certain of its functions by 2007. It is currently unclear whether this reorganization and privatization will be completed in accordance with the timetable contemplated in the legislation or at all. If the privatization of Russian Railroads or other factors result in increased railway transport costs, thereby decreasing our profit margins, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected
Alteration of factors that could not be fully included in production price, as well as frustration of packaging and raw material supply, can have an adverse effect on the financial results of the company. However, taking into consideration, the scale and diversification of business in conjunction with efficient management, the named factors could not exert sufficient influence on WBD operations and its ability to execute its obligations under placed securities.
Risks, related to possible production price changes and/or other services provided by the issuer:
Keen competition between juice and diary producers on internal and external markets, as well as distribution of production by retail and independent distributors, confines our ability to increase prices on our production. Rise of prices along with the growth of process costs and less aggressive price policy of other competitors, may lead to the decrease of demand on the issuers production as well as decrease of sales volume. However, WBD does not consider the fact of possible production price changes to be sufficient and influencing the companys operations and execution of the companys obligations under its securities because of the active work being held with the purpose of decreasing process costs: optimization of expenses and their structure.
Risks, related to political and economical situation in the country (countries) and in the whole region, where the issuer is registered as a tax payer:
Since 1991, Russia has been seeking to transform itself from a one-party state with a centrally planned economy to a democracy with a market economy. Taking into account such a short term of the Russian political and economic systems formation , they can be characterized as unstable. At the same time, the process of economic activity and political system stabilization can be observed in recent years, including succession of political policy, constant staff of government officials and so on. Although, it can not be doubted that Russia is in need of further reforms, the main purpose of which should be the rise of living standards, creation of efficient economic management system and balanced social policy. The following factors can exert influence on the issuers operations in this way:
Low income level of the significant part of the Russian population who are potential consumers of our production, and as a result the limitation of sales of high-price category production outside Moscow and Saint-Petersburg;
Possible conflicts between regional and federal authorities and presence of controversy between laws and other legal texts;
Frequent alterations of legislation, including legal regulation of separate industries, as well as rather insufficient terms provided for bringing the companys activity in conformity with new regulations.
17
Regional peculiarities (in the regions where the main daughter companies of WBD are located), exert insufficient influence on the companys activities, and are taken into consideration by the management of the company in the process of performing the financial and business activities.
Risks, related to possible military conflicts and declarations of state of emergency and strikes: these risks are not significant, as since WBDs main activity is located in economically and socially stable region far from the regions where military conflicts are possible.
At the moment WBD does not have any program on proposed measures in case of adverse influence of the possible downward situation in the country, taking into consideration positive forecasts, regarding the countrys development and the development of the region as a whole. In case of certain risks related to the adverse influence of thesituation in the country and region on the companys activity, the company can take specific measures, including crisis management aimed to mobilize the companys activities and reduce to the maximum such adverse influence of the political situation in the country and region.
Risks related to the geographical position of the country (countries) and region, where the issuer is registered as a tax payer and/or performs its main activities, including possible natural disasters, and possible suspension of transport communications as a result of remoteness:
Russian infrastructure is in a terrible plight, as a result it can lead to the disruption of the companys normal economic activities . A large number of infrastructure objects was put into operation as far back as the soviet period, and there have not been any investments or technical maintenance regarding these objects over the recent decade.
A great part of railroads and roads are in terrible conditions as well as objects of energy industry; communication systems and housing objects. For example, the explosion and fire in May 2005, on one of Moscow electricity substation, which was put into operation in 1963, led to the electricity outage in many districts of Moscow and neighboring regions. As a result underground traffic was paralyzed at many stations, thousands of people were blocked for several hours in the tunnels. The blackout caused problems with electric transport, and as a result led to road and transport incidents and traffic jams, as well as problems with water and energy supply of offices and apartment buildings, affected mobile communication services. Exchange trade, banking activities, as well as activities of many shops and markets were suspended. Roads in Russia are in bad condition;at the same time the quality of many roads does not comply with the minimal quality requirements. The Russian government actively examines the plans on restructuring the railway systems, power networks and telephone lines. Such restructuring may lead to the rise of cost of such services.
Aggravation of the condition of infrastructure objects in Russia impairs national economy and may cause the disruption of goods and services delivery , as well as the rise of operating expenses.
In case of force-majeur circumstances, including natural disasters, possible suspension of traffic , acts of terrorism an so on, WBD shall take all measures to minimize losses incurred, recover normal activity of the company, or, in exceptional circumstances, WBD may suspend the operations of the subsidiaries under force-majeur.
Risk, related to ruble exchange rate changes :
WBD activity is subject to the influence of financial risks related to the ruble exchange rate in view of using borrowed capital in foreign currency.
Until recently, the ruble has fluctuated dramatically against the U.S. dollar, in some instances falling in value. A significant portion of our costs and expenditures, including costs of packaging, juice concentrate and certain other raw materials, as well as capital expenditures and borrowings (including our $150 million loan participation notes due 2008), are either denominated in, or closely linked to, the U.S. dollar, while substantially all of our revenues are denominated in rubles. As a result, the devaluation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar can adversely affect us by increasing our costs in ruble terms.
18
Nevertheless, in case of ruble depreciation against USD, this can affect WBDs financial position. In case of such circumstances, WBD will try to compensate for all losses caused by the rise of expenses related to the fall of ruble exchange rate through WBD products price increase and the output growth.
Risks related to interest rate changes and the influence of this factor on the issuers activity:
Under the total reduction of interest rates, the existing obligations of WBD debt service will be less attractive in comparison with the current demand of the borrowed capital market.
In this case the issuer can take measures to refinance existing financial obligations under better conditions, due to the current demand of the capital market.
The total rise in interest rates can influence WBD loan obligations, the conditions on which can be changed, depending on certain market factors. Besides, such dynamics of borrowed capital cost, constrain the ability of new borrowings during the period of expensive loans.
Changes of interest rates in certain branches or sectors of borrowed capital market bring to the diversification of funding sources and make the issuer find new, cheaper funding sources and alternative sources inRussia and abroad. The efficiency of such measures depends on our ability to form and extend the cash flow enough to execute all obligations.
The Russian economy has been characterized by the high rates of inflation of 11.7%, 12.0% and 15.1% in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In both 2004 and 2003, the inflation rate, combined with the nominal appreciation of the ruble, resulted in the appreciation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar in real terms. As we tend to experience inflation-driven increases in certain of our costs, including salaries and rents, which are sensitive to rises in the general price level in Russia, our costs in U.S. dollar terms will rise. In this situation, due to competitive pressures, we may not be able to raise the prices we charge for our products and services sufficiently to preserve operating margins. Accordingly, high rates of inflation in Russia could increase our costs and decrease our operating margins.

Other financial risks:
The borrowing ability of WBD group is limited by existing loan agreements of WBD and its subsidiaries, investments and involvement in different activities, that can reduce the ability of WBD to invest in its future activities or to extend the existing operations. Our short-term and long-term debt agreements, including the loan agreement relating to our $150 million loan participation notes due 2008, contain covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. These restrictions significantly limit, and in some cases prohibit, among other things, our and certain of our subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, provide guarantees, create liens on assets or enter into business combinations. Failure to comply with these restrictions would constitute a default under our debt agreements, including the loan agreement relating to our $150 million loan participation notes due 2008, and any of our other senior debt containing cross-default provisions could become immediately due and payable, which would materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations. In addition, some of our debt agreements contain provisions which permit our lenders to require us to repay our debt to them in the event of deterioration in our financial condition.
19
Weaknesses relating to the legal system and legislation create an uncertain environment for investment and for business activity in Russia.
Russia is still developing the legal framework required to support a market economy. The following risks relating to the Russian legal system create uncertainties with respect to the legal and business decisions that we make, many of which do not exist in countries with more developed market economies:
inconsistencies between and among laws, the Constitution, Presidential decrees and governmental, ministerial and local orders, decisions, resolutions and other acts;
conflicting local, regional and federal rules and regulations;
1. Risks, related to changes of requirements on licensing: governmental authorities in Russia have a high degree of discretion, that can lead to arbitrarily acts such as suspension or cancellation of licenses. Moreover, a lot of our dairies, which also produce juices, including Lianozovsky diary, lease equipment to juice producers. Until February 11, 2002, when the federal law On licensing of different kinds of activities had came into effect, the special license for capital leasing activities was needed, but its not clear, whether such license was needed for equipment leasing activities. Despite the fact that leasing activities are not the subject of licensing any more, in case, if authorities manage to plead for illegality of the named activities, and that appropriate license should have been, it can affect WBD adversely. In that case WBD will do its best to receive all needed licenses.
2. Poorly developed bankruptcy procedures that are subject to abuse.
3. Changes of customs control rules and customs duties, particularly in sphere of food export, may lead to additional expenses on bringing activities of the company in conformity with new rules and standards and/or paying penalties.
4. Possible changes in state regulation of food industry policy may lead to incompliance of our activities, documents and procedures with new rules.
5. Changes of existing judicial practice regarding WBD activities: Lack of independence and the inexperience of the judiciary, the difficulty of enforcing court decisions and governmental discretion in instigating, joining and enforcing claims, as well as lack of legal and judicial statutory interpretation. This kind of risk should be considered as improbable, as since WBD is not a subject of legal disputes, that can affect adversely on our activities.
6. Toughening of tax authorities activities, concerning different Russian companies, that used or using tax optimization schemes, including unplanned tax examinations, bringing in action criminal and civil judicial disputes, along with demands to pay additional tax amounts.
Risks, related to changes of currency exchange regulation: activities of Central Bank of Russia in governing of rouble rate of exchange by means of alteration of currency exchange regulations. A new framework law on exchange controls took effect on June 18, 2004. This law empowers the government and the Central Bank of Russia to further regulate and restrict currency control matters, including operations involving foreign securities and foreign currency borrowings by Russian companies. The new law also abolishes the need for companies to obtain transaction-specific licenses from the Central Bank of Russia, envisaging instead the implementation of generally applicable restrictions on currency operations. As the evolving regulatory regime is new and untested, it is unclear whether it will be more or less restrictive than the prior laws and regulations it has replaced.
Named factors increase tax risks, that are more significant, then normal risks in countries with highly developed tax system, thus brings to rise of expenses, including administrative expenses. In addition to significant tax burden, these risks and uncertainties make tax planning more complicated, as well as taking business decisions. WBD will take all appropriate measures to minimize the adverse influence of named factors, and in case of
20
need WBD will take all possible legal measures to protect its interests, including judicial recourses in Russian and international courts.
Risks relating to the Issuers Business, that can influence Issuers financial and economic activities are immaterial.
Risks relating to judicial disputes, in which issuer took part:
WBD is not a subject to any judicial disputes, which could affect WBD activities significantly. In the judgment of administration, there are no any possible judicial disputes or claims, that can significantly affect on WBD activities or financial condition of the issuer.
Risks relating to impossibility to extend license period:
These risks are immaterial, as since WBD have all appropriate licenses, that in long term protect its immaterial goods.
At the same time WBD could not be able to protect its immaterial goods properly, and it may affect adversely on the companys financial condition and hinder the growth of the company. Taking into consideration the importance of firm-names, company took measures to protect its immaterial goods, including registration of trade mark WBD. But these measures may be insufficient, companys immaterial goods rights may be broken and taken for the third partys own. Besides there are less possibilities to protect immaterial goods in Russia and CIS countries (the places of companys principal activities) in comparison with countries of Western Europe and North America. In case WBD failed to protect its immaterial goods, it will affect adversely on financial conditions and on possible growth of economic activity.
Inability to protect some of our firm-names and images, apply for registration of which had been taken into consideration, could affect adversely on WBD sales and bring to rise of expenses on advertising and lead to ill-influence on the companys financial condition. In case of refusal of firm-names registration as a trade mark, WBD will not be able to support the proper protection of these firm-names or images and to prohibit the use of them by the third parties, itll decrease benefits of advertisements where such firm-names and images are used. This can influence adversely on our sales, because we are using these firm-names in our production, and it can make us to develop new sales program and cause rise of advertising expenses and influence our financial results adversely.
Risks relating to possible liability of the issuer under the third parties obligations? Including obligations of its subsidiaries:
Russian civil code as well as corporative law determines that shareholders of Russian joint-stock company do not bear any responsibility under the companys debts and bear only risks of loss of their investments within the limits of their shares. At the same time, there is exception to the rule, when the mother company has a right to give obligatory instructions to its subsidiaries, including contractual relations. Under certain conditions, mother company could bear joint responsibility under deals arranged by its subsidiary in pursuance of such obligatory instruction. Besides, mother company bears vicarious responsibility under the obligations of its subsidiaries in case of subsidiarys bankruptcy due to mother companys activities. Accordingly, risks of responsibility of the issuer under obligations of its subsidiaries couldnt be excepted, because issuer directly or indirectly owns 50% and more percents of charter capital of its subsidiaries and is a mother company. Assignment of responsibility that could be vicarious in case of bankruptcy of the issuers subsidiary or joint regarding contractual relations in pursuance of execution by the subsidiary obligatory instructions of mother company, could affect on issuers activities adversely.
Risks relating with loss of consumers that purchase production on the sum that is not less then 10% of total revenue should be considered as insignificant.
Various risks factors relating to issuers activity:
1. The failure of our geographic expansion strategy could hamper our continued growth and profitability.
21
Our expansion strategy depends, in part, on funding growth in additional 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 growth strategy relies on acquisitions and establishing new businesses, and our future growth, results of operations and market share would be adversely affected if we fail to identify suitable targets, outbid competing bidders or finance acquisitions on acceptable terms.
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 our integration process or fail to achieve the synergies and savings we expect.
2. The integration of our businesses, as well as of any businesses we may acquire in the future, requires significant time and effort from our senior management, who are also responsible for managing our existing operations. Integration of our businesses may be difficult, as our culture may differ from the cultures of the businesses we acquire or consolidate, unpopular cost cutting measures may be required and control over cash flows may be difficult to establish. Any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
3. Our management information system may be inadequate to support our future growth
Our management information system is less developed in certain respects than those of food producers in more developed markets and may not provide our management with as much or as accurate information as those in more developed markets. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing our management information system.
4. Difficulty in obtaining adequate managerial and operational resources may restrict our ability to expand our operations successfully.
We have experienced rapid growth and development in a relatively short period of time. Management of such growth has required significant managerial and operational resources and is likely to continue to do so. Our future operating results depend, in significant part, upon the continued contributions of a limited number of our key senior management and technical personnel.
We will need to continue to improve our operational and financial systems and managerial controls and procedures to keep pace with our growth. We will also have to maintain close coordination among our logistical, technical, accounting, finance, marketing and sales personnel. Management of growth will require, among other things:
the ability to integrate new acquisitions into our operations;
continued development of financial and management systems controls and information technology systems;
implementation of adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures;
increased marketing activities;
hiring and training of new personnel; and
coordination among our logistical, technical, accounting, finance, marketing and sales personnel.
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. Competition in Russia, and in the other countries where we operate, for personnel with relevant expertise is intense, due to the limited number of qualified individuals. Although we attempt to structure our compensation packages in a manner consistent with evolving standards of the Russian labor market, we are not insured against damage that may be incurred in case of the loss or dismissal of our key personnel. Departures of senior management may be disruptive to our business and our success will depend, in part, on continuity in our senior management team.
5. WBD long term assets investments yield could differ against geographic position of enterprise, regional prices on raw materials, quality of marketing outlets, kind of output goods, types of used technical equipment, professionalism of staff and so on. In case, if such long term assets will not be repaid, WBD
22
could write-off such assets partial or total in its reporting. Such write-off could influence adversely on financial condition of WBD.
6. Issuers operations are based on stable functioning of communication systems and software, used in operations of issuer and subsidiaries. Thus, malfunction in functioning of any of such components could entail certain problems in issuers operations.

History of the Issuers 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 Issuers principal areas of activity. In keeping with Article 4 of the Issuers 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.

3.3. Plans of the Issuers Future Activities.
Due to the specifics of the Issuers primary area of operations, the Issuers future activities plans should include a higher efficiency of WBD Group management. The Issuers future activities plans are closely connected with the plans of WBD Group. The use of trademarks by WBD Group businesses, offered on the basis of licensing agreements, will constitute the Issuers 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 flavours 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. However WBD Group also started the production of mineral water 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.
3.4. Issuers participation in industrial, banking and financial groups, holdings, concerns and associations.
On May 12, 2004, the General Meeting of Shareholders of WBD Foods OJSC approved accession of the Issuer to Non-Commercial Organization German Economic Union in the Russian Federation (Minutes No. 20-05 dated May 20, 2004) whose Charter envisages such aims and objectives as contribution to economic cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Russian Federation in close cooperation with the German Union of Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the Eastern German Economic Union, as well as with its head organizations.
On June 14, 2005, the General Meeting of Shareholders of WBD Foods OJSC approved the accession of the Issuer to Non-Commercial Organization Russian Marketing Association.
3.5. Issuers Subsidiaries and dependent companies.

We invest significant financial and human resources in new product development, focusing on long-term strategic development projects that are expected to create innovative products and technologies. As of December 31, 2004, our product and technologies development departments located at Lianozovo Dairy Plant had 42 employees and our new juice product and quality department at the Ramenskiy Plant had 26 employees. These departments often cooperate with third parties such as Russian research institutions, specialized research firms and suppliers. In 2004, 2003 and 2002 we spent approximately $0.6 million, $1.2 million and $0.9 million on activities associated with new product development.
We keep track of our intellectual property and monitor the protection of our brand names and instances of copyright infringement in Russia and the CIS. The extent to which we seek protection of our trademarks outside of Russia and the CIS depends on the significance of the brand and jurisdiction concerned.
Protection of intellectual property rights is one of the key elements of the Issuers R&D policies.

4.5. Analysis of the trends of development in the area of primary activity of the Issuer.
Markets
The Russian economy continues to experience growth, having grown at rates of 7.1%, 7.3% and 4.7% in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Disposable income also continues to grow, although disposable income levels in the regions will continue to lag behind Moscow levels. We believe these macroeconomic improvements in Russia are supporting the favorable industry trends we have seen. Dairy consumption is shifting towards packaged products whereas the share of unpackaged dairy products is steadily decreasing. In addition, consumers in Russia have, in recent years, been demanding more juice-containing, dessert and enriched products. We expect the increasing preference for juice over fresh fruit, which generally accompanies increased incomes, will result in the consumption of vitamin-rich, value-added products with different tastes and nutritional characteristics, including increased demand for juice-containing beverages. However, both the dairy and juice markets will continue to become more competitive, with producers engaging in aggressive advertising and marketing strategies, as well as making substantial investments in modernizing packaging and manufacturing equipment. The dairy industry is also seeing the stronger presence of small regional producers.
Dairy Segment
In 2004, raw milk prices increased by approximately 17% in ruble terms, which is 24% in dollar terms. We expect the price for raw milk to continue increasing in both U.S. dollar and ruble terms during 2005, impacting the profit margins on our dairy products. We believe the higher raw milk prices are due to the increased demand for raw milk from regional dairy producers, coupled with the decline of dairy cattle stock in Russia and increase in the cost of raw milk production.
After a period of relatively stable dairy production since 2000, domestic dairy production in Russia suffered a year-on-year slump in 2004. The general decline was partly due to the on-going reduction of dairy cattle in Russia and, consequently, higher gross national dairy production is not expected in 2005. As a result, the volume of imported dairy products has increased, which we expect will continue in 2005.
Despite the decline in domestic dairy production, dairy product sales increased in 2004. The most significant growth was seen in the dairy desserts segment, including juice/milk products, yogurts and curd desserts. In addition, the market for cheese products grew substantially in 2004. Industry experts estimate that the Russian dairy market will grow by 2.5% in 2005, and that, due to inflation, growth will be higher in monetary terms than in actual volumes due to price increases for packaged dairy products.
The regional structure of Russias dairy market continued to shift in 2004, with dairy product sales increasing in regional markets at a more rapid rate than in Moscow and the Center region of Russia. We expect that the growth in regional dairy sales will continue to outpace growth in Moscow during 2005.
Milk and kefir were key drivers of the volume growth in our dairy segment. At the same time yogurts, dairy deserts and juice containing dairy drinks grew at a lower pace than we initially anticipated. However, we believe that the consumption of these higher margin products will increase in 2005.
Competition
In the traditional dairy product markets, we compete primarily with local producers, such as St. Petersburg-based Petmol and the Moscow-based Ostankino Dairy Plant and Ochakovo Dairy Plant, as well as with a number of smaller producers in other regions of Russia. In the enriched dairy product market, we compete primarily with Groupe Danone, the Ochakovo Dairy Plant and Petmol. In the yogurt and desserts market and, to some extent, in the childrens product market, we compete with foreign producers such as Danone, Campina, Onken and Ehrmann who continue to invest in their businesses in Russia. We view the following producers as our primary competitors:
Groupe Danone, a French company which is the most active foreign producer in Russia and aggressively promotes its products. It has a dairy plant in the Volga region where it produces yogurt, fruit yogurts and kefirs, as well as a dairy plant in the Moscow region. Its domestically produced and imported products are
48
sold under the Danone brand name across Russia through its own distribution network. According to the nine-city AC Nielsen study, in 2004, Danone had a 25.9% market share in yogurt and dessert dairy products and a 15.6% overall market share in the Russian dairy product market. Danone owns 8.3% of our outstanding shares in the form of ADSs.
Petmol, a St. Petersburg-based company that produces a wide range of dairy products, although it focuses on yogurts and desserts. According to the nine-city AC Nielsen study, in 2004, Petmol had a 7.2% market share in traditional dairy products, a 2.1% market share in yogurt and dessert dairy products and a 5.2% overall market share in the Russian dairy product market.
Ostankino Dairy Plant, a Moscow-based company and one of the largest dairy plants in Russia. It is our principal competitor in Moscow, with a particularly strong milk brand. According to the nine-city AC Nielsen study, in 2004, the Ostankino Dairy Plant had a 3.6% market share in traditional dairy products, a 1.3% market share in yogurt and dessert dairy products and a 2.4% overall market share in the Russian dairy product market.
Ehrmann, a German company producing yogurt products at its plant located in the Moscow region. Its brand names Ehrmigurt, Yogurtovich, Fruktovich and Uslada were developed specifically for Russian consumers. According to the nine-city AC Nielsen study, Ehrmann had an 8.0% market share by sales in yogurt and dessert dairy products in 2004.
We believe that we generally have several advantages over other Russian producers, including a larger production capacity and higher quality products, as well as greater innovation, new product development, geographical coverage, centralized management and marketing capabilities. However, many other domestic producers tend to benefit in comparison to us from lower cost bases, including lower advertising and distribution costs, and, for certain consumers, a preferred image.
Recent trends also indicate that industry consolidation may lead to the appearance of larger domestic producers, which could become significant competitors. For example, according to press reports, a subsidiary of Multon, our principal competitor in the Russian juice market, acquired a 20% stake in the Ochakovo Dairy Plant in December 2001, and the two controlling shareholders of Multon subsequently acquired a further 48% stake in the Ochakovo Dairy Plant. The acquisition by Multon and Multon shareholders of a controlling stake in the Ochakovo Dairy Plant may increase the competitive position of the plant in the Russian dairy market by affording it the benefits of Multons wider distribution network and marketing potential. In addition, we saw the emergence in 2002 of a new competitor in the dairy market. Unimilk undertook a string of acquisitions during 2002, including its acquisition of our major competitor Petmol in St. Petersburg and Galakton, Ukraines largest dairy plant. In 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, Unimilk acquired five additional Russian dairy plants and is also reportedly in the process of acquiring a stake in the Siberian Dairy Plant. Unimilk has also announced its plans to invest approximately $30 million to construct a new dairy plant in the Rostov region and has estimated that its capital expenditure plans for 2005 will total approximately 1 billion rubles (approximately $36 million). These acquisitions and investments by Unimilk will likely heighten its competitive position substantially in the Russian and CIS dairy product market.
Foreign dairy manufacturers generally have large promotional budgets and advanced production know-how, allowing them to offer quality and innovative products, and strong distribution networks. While foreign manufacturers generally tended in the past to focus on niche markets, usually in the premium segment, they are now increasingly concentrating on producing products for the average Russian consumer with an average income. Moreover, whereas our foreign competitors tended in the past to rely primarily on imported products, which are more expensive, a number of these companies, such as Danone, Parmalat, Campina and Ehrmann, have invested and continue to invest in domestic production facilities, reducing the competitive advantages that we have over foreign competitors without domestic production capability.
For example, Danone owns two plants in Russia and has introduced several of its yogurt brands into the Russian market, some of which were developed specifically for Russian consumers. The Dutch company Campina also owns a dairy plant in Russia that produces fresh yogurts and yogurts with a long shelf life. In addition, the German companies Ehrmann and Onken produce yogurt at Russian plants, and Onken launched its own dairy production factory in Russia in 2003. Foreign cheese producers also launched production facilities in 2003, including French company Laktalis and German company Hochland, which reportedly invested $13 million and 35 million euro, respectively, in 2003. Due to their increased domestic production of yogurt and dairy desserts,
49
foreign producers have become our main competitors in these sectors, whereas we mainly compete with domestic producers in the traditional milk products sector.
We believe that we have several important competitive advantages that will allow us to maintain a leading position in the Russian dairy market: strong and diversified brands, stable access to raw milk, a broad proprietary distribution network, new product development focus, modern production assets and technology, access to external capital and a strong management team. We also benefit from our strong regional production base, enhanced by our extensive modernization program carried out during 2003, while our foreign competitors must generally transport their yogurts and premium segment desserts from Moscow to the regions, which is costly and logistically complex.
We intend to take advantage of these strengths through our strategy of promoting brand awareness and loyalty with an emphasis on product quality, as well as by continuing our efforts to focus on developing new products equal to or better in quality than those offered by Western producers.
Juice Segment
In 2003 and 2004, we witnessed price increases in juice concentrate and other ingredients resulting, in part, from bad harvests and poor weather conditions in juice-concentrate producing regions. These price increases were more moderate in 2004 than in 2003, and we expect that price increases for juice concentrate and other materials to remain flat during 2005. However, prices can still be influenced by weather conditions and harvests. Also, as euro to dollar exchange rates in 2004 were unstable and a significant part of our concentrates prices are denominated in euro, the cost of juice production was higher in 2004 than in 2003. We expect fluctuations in the euro to dollar exchange rates will continue to impact our juice production costs in 2005, and also may result in a further decrease in juice margins.
Average selling prices of our juice products increased during 2004. We expect further moderate increases in juice sales prices in rubles terms in 2004 and increased share of value-added products. We believe that average selling prices in the regions will generally continue to be lower than average selling prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg due to the consumer preferences in the regions, where household incomes are typically lower, for lower price products, which will have a negative effect on our gross margin.
The operating environment has been challenging since the 1998 financial crisis. Competitive pressures have intensified because of the low purchasing power of households outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg and the rising number of domestic producers. We initially responded to this competitive challenge by holding our prices constant in an inflationary environment, as well as by introducing two new brands, one targeted at the middle-market price segment and the other at the mass-market price segment. In addition, we have been revising our juice distribution network, reducing the number of distributors we work with and maintaining relationships with distributors having direct distribution capabilities. We believe that, together with the launch of new products, the increased share of higher-priced products in our product mix, increased advertising, new packaging and increased production capacity, these strategies will increase public awareness of our products and our sales, which will allow us to expand our market share at acceptable prices. At the same time, however, our profit margins on our juice products decreased in 2002, improved in 2003 and remained relatively flat in 2004 and sales volume decreased year on year in 2003 and 2004 due to vigorous market competition from domestic and foreign producers and our ongoing overhaul of our juice distribution network.
Our principal competitors in the Russian juice market include the following companies:
Multon is a St. Petersburg-based company that, according to the Business Analytica survey, had a 28.5% market share in Russia and a 20.1% market share in Moscow during 2004. Its Rich, Kind and Niko brands entered the Moscow market in 1998 and since then have gained significant market shares primarily through aggressive pricing policies and advertising. Multon was purchased by Coca-Cola in May 2005.
Lebedyansky is based in the Lipetsk region and, according to the Business Analytica survey, had a 24.3% market share in Russia and a 27.6% market share in Moscow during 2004. Its Tone, I, Fruit Garden and other brands have become well-known among Russian consumers. Lebedyansky recently acquired a majority stake in Progress, a juice concentrate producer. Lebedyansky raised over $150 million in its initial public offering in Russia in March 2005.
Nidan-Ecofruct is a Novosibirsk-based Russian company that, according to the Business Analytica survey, had an 11.0% market share in Russia and an 11.1% market share in Moscow during 2004.
An important factor behind the success of domestic producers is the relatively low price of the products which they can offer at a quality level satisfactory to consumers. However, we believe that we have significant
50
competitive advantages over these Russian producers, including greater production capacity, marketing capabilities, brand awareness, brand value and distribution networks, as well as higher quality products.
Several foreign companies invested in domestic production facilities during 2001, including Coca-Cola, which began large-scale production of its Minute Maid brand juices at a production facility in the Russian city of Orel and purchased local producer Multon, one of our primary competitors, in May 2005. In addition, the Russian-Finnish joint venture United Juice Co. started production in St. Petersburg of its Marli brand juices, and the German company Glocken Gold began to produce its juices at a plant outside of Moscow. During 2004, PepsiCo aggressively entered the Russian market with its Tropicana brand juices, which it produces domestically at the Nidan-Ecofrut plant in the Novosibirsk region. Domestic production by foreign producers in Russia reduces the competitive advantages that we have over foreign competitors without domestic production capability.
However, we believe that we can compete successfully against foreign producers. We offer our customers quality juice products with a range of different tastes and nutritional characteristics. We also have a wide network of production facilities and sell our products through a broad proprietary distribution network with good customer service standards. Further, we have a quality brand portfolio which ranks highly in almost all market segments, and we plan to continue to devote significant resources to advertising and marketing our leading brands.
Water Segment
We entered the mineral water market in 2003. We estimate that the mineral water market in Russia is growing at approximately 20% a year. Our water division, which has now merged with our juice division in to a new beverage division, is planning to diversify its product range in 2005 to include lower priced brands catering to the mass market and expanding its production capacity and shelf presence with newly launched formats of its Essentuki brand.
The increase in cost of raw material and packaging is predicted to be stable and increased cost of transportation and promotional campaigns for newly launched brands could negatively impact our margins and operating income.
From January 1, 2005, we merged our juice and water divisions to create the new beverage division. We launched our water operations in March 2003, when we began operations at our new water processing and bottling factory in the Novgorod region, and extended our operations in August 2003 with the acquisition of a mineral water factory and underground wells in the Essentuki area of Russia. Our mineral water products are positioned in the upper-middle segment of the market and cater to consumers who prefer bottled natural mineral water to purified or ordinary tap water. In 2005, we merged our water and juice businesses into one single business unit called Beverages to further reduce costs and benefit from natural synergies.
We obtain natural mineral water from an underground source near the Valdai National Preserve, which is bottled at our factory in the town of Okulovka in the Novgorod region. This plant is capable of processing up to 360,000 liters of bottled water per day. The still and sparkling natural drinking water bottled at our Okulovka plant became commercially available during May 2003 and is marketed nationally in Russia under the Sanctuary Valdai brand name. Our Sanctuary brand portfolio was broadened in 2004 to include water from the Caucus region, sold under the Sanctuary Beshtau brand. Sanctuary Beshtau is sold in 0.5 liter and 0.33 liter glass bottles and in 5 liter plastic bottles for home consumption.
In August 2003, we acquired underground wells and a factory that produces Essentuki mineral water. Essentuki brand water is mineral water from the Essentuki area of Russia, which is known for its mineral waters and spas. Essentuki was a famous Soviet brand, and is still one of Russias best known mineral water brands. It is produced and bottled by several manufacturers in the Essentuki area in recognizable 0.5 liter dark green bottles long associated with the brand. We also produce Essentuki in 1.5 liter plastic bottles, and we are currently considering launching other formats. Our Essentuki area factory has a production capacity of about 6,000 units per hour, which is fully utilized, and we are seeking to acquire additional capacity. We remain committed to expanding our Essentuki production capacity.
During 2004, we invested a total of $1.6 million in the development of our bottled water production. We have allocated $6.1 million for investment in our bottled water business in 2005.
Although there is no significant history of consumption of non-aerated bottled drinking water in Russia, the situation is changing due to environmental factors. There is a rising interest in bottled drinking water in Russia, especially in large cities such as Moscow. The mineral water market is expanding not only in terms of production volumes, but also in terms of the number of brands. Moreover, the number of Russian premium brands is growing, while the share of imported brands is declining.
Our aim in entering the bottled water sector is to satisfy the growing demand among Russian consumers for quality mineral water using ecologically pure Russian sources. We believe that consumers will eventually distinguish and value the superior quality spring and natural water that we offer them as opposed to purified water.
We believe that our primary competitors in this area will be Pepsis Aqua Minerale and Coca-Colas BonAqua, as well as Borzhomi, Narzan and Saint Springs, all of which are produced in the CIS. We have
51
positioned our brand in a more up-to-date style, accentuating the fact that it is a naturally produced mineral water, and offer both still and carbonated waters in a variety of bottle sizes, giving consumers a wider choice.
