1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Przedsiebiorstwo “Polmos” Białystok Spółka Akcyjna (hereinafter referred to as “Polmos Białystok” or the “Company”) is a Polish enterprise that was established as a result of the privatization of a state owned enterprise. The Company is based in North-East Poland and has been in operation since 1928. In May 2005, the Company was listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), with 32% of outstanding shares floated. The remaining shares are held by employees and the State Treasury with 61% of the company designated for sale to a strategic investor.

 

The Company’s primary source of earnings is the production and sale of vodka, including the Absolwent and Zubrówka brands.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2004, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

The Company maintains their books of account and prepares their statutory financial statements in Polish zloty (PLN) in accordance with Polish statutory requirements and the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994. The financial statements have been adjusted to reflect accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

4. Related party transactions

 

The Company was owned 100% by the State Treasury until its privatization. Therefore payments due to the State Treasury can be recognized as related party transactions.

 

The payments made to the State Treasury consist primarily of VAT (sales tax), excise tax, income tax and dividends and the retirement of shares presented as a liability to shareholders.

 

The Company’s main supplier of spirits used for production is Polmos Torun S.A. (“Polmos Torun”), that is owned by the State Treasury. Polmos Torun supplies approximately 65%-70% of the total value of rectified spirit purchased by the Company. The total value of spirits purchased by the Company from Polmos Torun was $4,945 thousand in the first six months of 2005 and $5,720 thousand in the first six months of 2004.

 

The accounts payable to Polmos Torun as at June 30, 2005 was $1,065 thousand and as at June 30, 2004 was $1.337 thousand.

 

5. Liabilities to stockholders

 

On December 16, 2004 the Company repurchased from the State Treasury and retired 5,000,000 shares. The fair value of shares purchased was $67,731 thousand (PLN 210,250 thousand). As of June 30, 2005 the liability to the State Treasury decreased to $62,834 thousand due to the exchange rate changes. This liability to the State Treasury was paid by the Company in July 2005.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Przedsiebiorstwo “Polmos” Białystok S.A. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Przedsiebiorstwo “Polmos” Białystok Spółka Akcyjna (hereinafter referred to as “Polmos Białystok” or the “Company”) is a Polish enterprise that was established as a result of the privatization of a state owned enterprise. The Company is based in North-East Poland and has been in operation since 1928. In May 2005 the Company was listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), with 32% of outstanding shares floated. The remaining shares are held by employees and the State Treasury with 61% of the company designated for sale to a strategic investor.

 

The Company’s primary source of earnings is the production and sale of vodka, including the Absolwent and Zubrówka brands.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company are as follows:

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounts and prepares its statutory financial statements in Polish zloty (PLN) in accordance with Polish statutory requirements and the Accounting Act of 29 September 1994. The statutory financial statements have been adjusted to reflect accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

 

The financial statements are prepared under U.S. GAAP and have been presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The functional currency for the Company is the Polish zloty. For the preparation of these financial statements in the US Dollar reporting currency, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each year-end. The Income Statements are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the respective year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction adjustments arising from operations as well as gains and losses from any specific foreign currency transactions are included in the reported net income for the period.

 

The exchange rates used on Polish zloty denominated transactions and balances for translation purposes as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 for one U.S. Dollar were 2.99 PLN and 3.74 PLN, respectively. As of October 10, 2005 the Polish Zloty to U.S. Dollar conversion rate was 3.20 PLN.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in one industry segment, production and sales of alcoholic beverages. These activities are conducted by the Company in Poland. All revenues, operating profits and assets relate to this business.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions. Restricted cash represents short-term deposits with a bank pledged as a security for a guarantee issued to the customs office.

 

Investments

 

The Company’s investments comprise Polish government bills and bonds, Corporate bonds, Municipal bonds and Certificates of Deposits. Investments with remaining maturities of less than one year or that the Company’s intent is to hold for less than one year are considered to be short-term. These investments are held in the custody of several major financial institutions.

 

Debt and equity securities designated as available-for-sale, whose fair values are readily determinable, are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Debt and equity securities classified as trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income. Individual securities classified as available-for-sale are reduced to net realizable value by a charge to income for other than temporary declines in fair value. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method and are reflected in the income statement.

 

The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its investments below the cost basis are judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the Company’s cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

 

The Company also has investments in the securities of privately held companies. These investments are carried at cost as fair value is not readily determinable. The Company monitors these investments for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values if the Company determines that an impairment charge is required based primarily on the financial condition and near-term prospects of these companies.

 

Securities subject to repurchase agreements

 

The securities subject to repurchase agreements represent the buy and sale back of government bills. This securities are transferred by the financial institutions to the Company in exchange for the cash and agreement to reacquire that security at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus specified interest. These securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in the income statement.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Raw materials are valued at the acquisition cost. Work in progress and finished goods are valued at the actual production cost which includes direct costs and allocation of fixed production overheads.

 

Tangible fixed assets

 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is computed by the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

 

Type


 

Estimated useful life in years


Transportation equipment

  5

Software, copyrights

  2

Trademarks

  5

Computers and IT equipment

  3.33

Production machinery and equipment

  5-15

Structures

  25

Buildings

  40

 

The Company periodically reviews tangible fixed assets for indicators of impairment. When the carrying of the fixed asset is greater than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

 

Employee benefits

 

The Company’s employees are entitled to retirement bonuses and payments for long-service (“jubilee awards”) and accordingly the Company provides for the current value of the liability related to these benefits. A provision is calculated based on the terms set in the collective labor agreement. The amount of the provision for retirement bonuses depends on the age of employees and the pre-retirement time of work for the Company and equals 100%-800% of the monthly salary. The amount of jubilee awards is paid for employees who serve the Company for more than 15 years and ranges from 150% to 800% of the monthly salary depending on the number of years of service.

 

The Company does not create a specific fund designated for the payments and all payments related to the benefits are charged to the income statement. The provision for the employees’ benefits is calculated annually using the projected unit method and any losses or gains resulting from the valuation are immediately recognized in the income statement.

 

The Company also contributes to State and privately managed defined contribution plans. Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

Comprehensive income/(loss).

 

Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to the owners. Comprehensive income includes net income adjusted by, among other items, foreign currency translation adjustments and the effect of revaluation of long-term investments, net of deferred tax.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue derived from beverage distribution is recognized when goods are delivered to customers. Net sales are stated net of customer discounts, sales tax (VAT) and excise tax.

 

The Company computes and records deferred income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the accounting and tax basis of the underlying assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

3. Stockholders equity

 

As a State owned enterprise, the Company was obliged to pay a dividend in the amount of 15% of income after the current tax charge in advance during the year with the final dividend settled at year end.

 

Distribution of retained earning can not exceed the sum of retained earning brought forward from prior year and half current year earnings less provision for losses amounting to at least 33% of share capital.

 

In May 2005, the Company was listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), with 32% of outstanding shares floated. From this point the Company is not obliged to pay 15% dividend to the State Treasury.

The tax liabilities (including corporate income tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), social security and other taxes) may be subject to examinations by Polish tax authorities for up to five years from the end of the year the tax is payable. As the application of tax laws and regulations, and transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities.

10. Financial instruments, commitments and contingent liabilities

 

Financial instruments and their fair values

 

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, certain other current assets, trade accounts payable and other payables. These financial instruments are disclosed separately in the balance sheets and their carrying values approximate their fair market values. Financial instruments are denominated in stable currencies and they are of a short-term nature whose interest rates approximate current market rates.

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable from Polish companies. Credit is given to customers only after a thorough review of their credit worthiness. The Company does not normally require collateral with respect to credit sales. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Company has not experienced large credit losses in the past. The Company restricts temporary cash investments to investment funds, certificates of deposits, government securities, corporate notes and bonds, municipal securities with high credit ratings.

 

Inflation and currency risk

 

The Polish government has adopted policies that in recent years have lowered and made more predictable the country’s level of inflation. The annual rate of inflation was approximately 1.1% in 2002, 1.7% in 2003 and 3.5% in 2004. Using average National Bank of Poland exchange rates for the full year, the zloty in comparison to the U.S. Dollar appreciated by 9% in 2004, 2.6% in 2003 and 3.7% in 2002.

 

Contingence liabilities

 

The Company does not have any contingence liabilities and derivative instruments as of December 31, 2004.

11. Related party transactions

 

The Company was owned 100% by the State Treasury until its privatization. Therefore payments due to the State can be recognized as related party transactions.

 

The payments made to the State Treasury consist primarily of VAT (sales tax), excise tax, income tax and dividends and the retirement of shares presented as a liability to shareholders.

 

The Company’s main supplier of spirits used for production is Polmos Torun S.A. (“Polmos Torun”), that is owned by the State Treasury. Polmos Torun supplies approximately 65%-70% of the total value of rectified spirit purchased by the Company. The total value of spirits purchased by the Company from Polmos Torun was $14,541 thousand in 2004 and $8,497 thousand in 2003.

 

The accounts payable to Polmos Torun as at December 31, 2004 was $1,520 thousand and as at December 31, 2003 was $1,765 thousand.

 

12. Liabilities to stockholders

 

On December 16, 2004 the Company repurchased from the State Treasury and retired 5,000,000 shares. The fair value of the shares purchased was $67,731 thousand (PLN 210,250 thousand). As of December 31, 2004 the amount due was unpaid and is reflected as a liability to the State Treasury. The excess of the value of retired shares over their nominal value was recognized as a decrease of the retained earnings amounting $51,624 thousand (PLN 160,250 thousand). As of December 31, 2004 the amount of a liability to the State Treasury, increased to $70,308 thousand due to exchange rate changes. This liability to the State Treasury was paid in July 2005.

 

13. Subsequent events

 

On July 11, 2005 the Polish State Treasury concluded the share sale agreement to sell 61% of Polmos Białystok to Central European Distribution Corportion for a total purchase price of 1.06 billion PLN, conditional upon obtaining the Anti-monopoly Office approval. On October 12, 2005 following approval from the Anti-monopoly Office, the State Treasury closed the share sale agreement.

Exhibit 99.4

 

Central European Distribution Corporation

Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statements combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Central European Distribution Corporation (“CEDC”), Botapol Holding B.V (“Botapol”) and Przedsiebiorstwo “Polmos” Bialystok S.A. (“Polmos Bialystok”) giving effect to the acquisitions as well as other relevant events as if they had occurred on January 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of CEDC and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Botapol and Polmos Bialystok giving effect to the acquisitions as well as other relevant events as if they had occurred on June 30, 2005.

 

CEDC has accounted for the acquisitions of Botapol and Polmos Bialystok using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and has allocated the aggregate purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

 

The pro forma combined condensed information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with:

 

    the historical financial statements of CEDC included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2005;

 

    the historical financial statements of Botapol for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and for the year ended December 31, 2004, included as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to CEDC’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated August 17, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2005; and

 

    the historical financial statements of Polmos Bialystok for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and for the year ended December 31, 2004, included as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to CEDC’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated October 12, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2005, and to which this Exhibit 99.4 is an exhibit.

 

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achievable with respect to the newly acquired company. The pro forma adjustments do not include any adjustments to the historical operating data for future changes in selling prices or changes in operations.

 

The allocation of the purchase price in the acquisition as reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements has been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition. Management, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists, is currently assessing the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on available public information and is dependent upon certain estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of developing such pro forma combined condensed financial information.

 

The pro forma combined condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the financial position and operating results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated in accordance with the assumptions set forth below nor is it intended to be a forecast of future operating results or financial position.

A. ACQUISITIONS

 

1) Botapol Holding B.V.

 

On August 17, 2005, CEDC completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Botapol (the “Botapol Acquisition”) pursuant to its share sale agreement, dated June 27, 2005, with Takirra Investment Corporation N.V., Rémy Cointreau S.A. (“Rémy”) and Botapol Management B.V. (an indirect subsidiary of Rémy). Botapol owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of both Bols Sp. z. o.o. (“Bols”), its principal operating subsidiary, and Hillcroft Sp. z o.o. (“Hillcroft”). According to the share sale agreement, the purchase price for Botapol was $270.0 million, payable in a combination of cash and shares of CEDC common stock. At closing, CEDC paid $147.5 million in cash and issued 3,382,838 shares of its common stock. Up to $5.0 million of the cash consideration may be reimbursed if the weighted average of the closing price of CEDC’s common stock exceeds $40.65 per share over the four weeks immediately preceding the date that is eighteen months after the closing of the Botapol Acquisition.

 

Total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:

 

Cash consideration

   $ 147,473

3,382,838 shares of CEDC common stock at $37.01 per share

     125,198

Acquisition costs (estimated)

     1,400
    

     $ 274,071
    

 

Upon closing of the acquisition the price per share for the 3,382,838 shares of common stock of CEDC was valued at $37.01 based on the closing market price of CEDC common stock for the two days before and the two days after the acquisition announcement date (June 27, 2005). The stock portion of the purchase price is subject to a one-year lock-up period and is entitled to certain customary demand and piggy-back registration rights after the end of the lock-up period. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed by the proceeds of CEDC’s issuance in July 2005 of EUR 325.0 million ($399.3 million using 1.2285 euro exchange rate as of August 17, 2005) of 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (“Notes”).

 

2) Przedsiebiorstwo “Polmos” Białystok S.A.

 

On July 11, 2005, CEDC signed a share purchase agreement with the Polish Treasury Ministry to purchase 61% of the outstanding capital stock of Polmos Bialystok, Poland’s second largest producer of vodka, for a total purchase price of PLN 1.06 billion ($317 million based on the exchange rate as at June 30, 2005). On October 12, 2005, upon receipt of approvals from the Polish anti-monopoly office, the transaction was closed. The acquisition has been funded with the remaining portion of proceeds from the issuance of the Notes ($208.8 million) and the proceeds from the private placement of CEDC shares (see note C). In addition to the shares purchased from the Polish Treasury, CEDC acquired approximately 5% of the outstanding capital stock on the open market for total consideration of PLN 43.2 million ($ 13.1 million), thus raising total ownership to 66%.

 

Total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:

 

Cash consideration paid to the Polish Treasury

   $ 317,000

Cash paid on the open market

     13,123

Acquisition costs (estimated)

     3,800
    

     $ 333,923
    


B. DETERMINATION OF GOODWILL

 

1) Botapol

 

In connection with the preparation of the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information at June 30, 2005 the book values of certain assets are adjusted to estimated fair values as follows:

 

Cost of acquisition of Botapol

   $ 274,071  

Historical net assets of Botapol

     (27,938 )

Fair value adjustment to tangible fixed assets

     (1,784 )

Fair value of Bols and Soplica trade marks

     (158,686 )

Other adjustments

     (15,329 )
    


Preliminary Goodwill

   $ 70,334  
    


 

Other adjustments reflect the result of conforming accounting policies related to the valuation of Botapol’s accounts receivable with the policies used by CEDC ($3,032 thousand), recognition of the accounts receivable resulting from the indemnification for the tax charges related to the previous periods based on the Tax Deed that CEDC entered into on August 17, 2005 with Rémy ($8,343 thousand) as well as an elimination of the assets and liabilities of the entity not acquired ($3,954 thousand).

 

2) Polmos Bialystok

 

In connection with the preparation of the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information at June 30, 2005 the book values of certain assets are adjusted to estimated fair values as follows:

 

Cost of acquisition of Polmos Bialystok

   $ 333,923  

Historical net assets of Polmos Bialystok

     (34,880 )

66% share of fair value of trade marks

     (122,065 )

Minority Interest held by other investors

     11,859  

Other adjustment

     (1,548 )

Preliminary Goodwill

   $ 187,289  
    


 

“Other adjustment” reflects the result of conforming accounting policies related to the valuation of the Polmos Bialystok accounts receivable with the policies used by CEDC.

 

In accordance with SFAS 142,”Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is not amortized. The allocation of the excess purchase price to goodwill may be revised upon completion of an independent valuation with regard to the acquisition of the tangible and intangible business assets acquired. CEDC does not expect material adjustments from the completion of this process.

 

C. FINANCING OF ACQUISITIONS

 

To finance the Botapol Acquisition and the Polmos Bialystok acquisition CEDC issued EUR 325.0 million ($399.3 million using 1.2285 euro exchange rate as of August 17, 2005) of 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2012. The Notes will accrue interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum. The interest will be payable semi-annually. The Notes issuance fee amounting to $11.2 million will be amortized using the effective interest method.

 

The cash consideration portion of the Botapol Acquisition was financed by the release from escrow of $190.5 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes ($147.5 million of cash consideration, $11.2 notes issuance fee, $1.4 million of estimated acquisition cost and $30.4 million of cash for working facilities). The remaining $208.8 million of the Notes proceeds was released from escrow for the closing of the Polmos Bialystok acquisition.


Moreover for the financing of the Polmos Bialystok acquisition, CEDC privately placed 3,360,000 shares of its common stock at $34.69 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $116.5 million. The per share price represents a 7% discount to the trailing 15-day closing average share price. The net proceeds amounted to $111.0 million.

 

The interest expenses amounts and amortization of issuance costs using the effective interest method resulting from the issuance of Notes amounts are as follows:

 

     Botapol

    Polmos Bialystok

 

Interest expenses amount year ended December 31, 2005

   $ (17,853 )   $ (15,314 )

Interest expenses amount six months ended June 30, 2005

   $ (8,845 )   $ (7,587 )

 

D. ELIMINATION OF ACQUIRED COMPANIES SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY ACCOUNTS

 

The following adjustments are made to eliminate the June 30, 2005 stockholders’ equity accounts of Botapol and Polmos Bialystok:

 

     June 30, 2005

 
     Botapol

    Polmos Bialystok

   $ (3,616 )   $ (26,288 )

     (8,731 )     8,820  

Accumulated other comprehensive income

     (6,399 )     (17,412 )
    


 


     $ (27,938 )   $ (34,880 )
    


 


 

E. ELIMINATION OF INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

 

The following adjustments are made to eliminate the June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 intercompany transactions in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet:

 

1) Botapol

 

     June 30,
2005


    December 31,
2004


 

Sales from Botapol to CEDC

   $ (9,863 )   $ (25,330 )

Movement in intercompany unrealized profit in inventory

   $ (1,184 )   $ 972  

 

Intercompany accounts payable between CEDC and Botapol as at the June 30, 2005

   $ (7,941 )

 

2) Polmos Bialystok

 

     June 30,

Sales from Polmos Bialystok to CEDC

   $ (15,690 )   $ (25,340 )

Movement in intercompany unrealized profit in inventory

   $ (764 )   $ 1,096  

 

Intercompany accounts payable between CEDC and Polmos Bialystok as at the June 30, 2005

   $ (13,054 )


F. TANGIBLE ASSETS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT

 

1) Botapol

 

The increase to fair market value of the acquired tangible assets subsequently increases the historical depreciation expense for 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $398 thousand and $228 thousand, respectively.

 

2) Polmos Bialystok

 

A final determination of the fair values of Polmos Bialystok tangible assets is in progress. The management does not expect significant changes upon completion of this process.

 

G. ROYALTY PAYMENTS IN BOTAPOL

 

According to the trademark agreement signed as a part of the Botapol Acquisition, CEDC received an exclusive perpetual royalty-free right to use the Bols trademark with respect to vodka in Poland and Russia. CEDC will not incur royalties in the future. Rather, the right to the Bols trademark was recognized as the result of the transaction as a component of intangible assets. The trademark has an indefinite useful life and will not be amortized.

 

The elimination adjustments resulting from this are as follows:

 

     June 30,
2005


   December 31,
2004


Elimination of royalties payment

   $ 1,077    $ 3,433

 

H. PRO FORMA INCOME TAX ADJUSTMENTS

Elimination of unrealized profit in inventory

     (145 )     208
     $ 1,535     $ 3,600

 

The tax rate for both periods equals 19 %

 

I. PERSONNEL REDUCTIONS

 

CEDC’s management does not presently anticipate any significant personnel reductions as a result of the acquisition.
