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”) and consolidated financial statements of Lion/Rally Cayman2 (“Cayman2”), being the holding company of the Russian Alcohol Group (“RAG”) and combined financial statements of Russian Alcohol Group, giving effect to the acquisitions as well as other relevant events if they had occurred on January 1, 2008. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Central European Distribution Corporation and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Cayman2 giving effect to the acquisitions as well as other relevant events as if they had occurred on March 31, 2009.

CEDC has accounted for the acquisition of RAG using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141R, “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 financial 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:

 

   

historical financial statements of CEDC for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 10, 2009;

 

   

unaudited interim financial statements of CEDC for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2009;

 

   

the other audited financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The consolidated historical financial statements for Cayman2 for the period from July 9, 2008 to December 31, 2008, and the combined interim financial statements of RAG for the period from January 1, 2008 to July 8, 2008 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Appropriate adjustments were made to convert this information to be compliant with US GAAP presentation.

The unaudited consolidated financial information for Cayman2 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achievable with respect to the newly acquired company or costs to integrate the acquired company or achieve operating efficiencies and cost savings. No assurances can be made that CEDC will realize any such efficiencies or cost savings. 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 acquisitions 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. This preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on available public information and is dependent upon certain estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary may change in a material way 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. AQUISITIONS AND CONSIDERATION

Cayman2 – Russian Alcohol Group

On July 9, 2008, the Company closed on its acquisition of approximately 47.5% of the common equity of a Cayman Islands company, referred to as Cayman 2, for approximately $181.5 million in cash, and purchased $103.5 million in subordinated exchangeable loan notes from a subsidiary of Cayman 2. Lion Capital LLP (“Lion”) and certain of its affiliates and other financial investors acquired the remaining common equity of Cayman 2, which indirectly owned approximately 88.4% of the outstanding equity of the Russian Alcohol Group. The Russian Alcohol Group, also referred to as “RAG,” is the leading vodka producer in Russia.

On April 24, 2009, the Company and Lion entered into new agreements to govern the Company’s acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of Cayman 2 held by Lion. In connection with those new agreements, on April 29, 2009 the Company acquired certain equity interests in Cayman 2 from Lion in exchange for $13,250,000 in cash, and sold the subordinated exchangeable loan notes to Cayman 2 and used the proceeds to acquire additional equity interests in Cayman 2. After these transactions, the Company’s indirect equity interest in RAG increased from 42% to approximately 54%. The Company is obligated to make certain other cash payments to Lion, and make certain issuances of shares of its common stock to Lion, through 2013 in exchange for the remainder of the equity of Cayman 2 held by Lion. These new arrangements are described in more detail in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the US SEC on April 30, 2009.

The Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with certain companies we refer to herein as Cayman 4, Cayman 5, and Cayman 6 (that holds the restructured investment in RAG) and Cayman Exempted Limited Partnership, of which the Company and Cayman 2 are limited partners (“Cayman 7”). The Option Agreement governs the Company’s acquisition of the remaining equity interests in RAG held by Lion over the following four years.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 granted Cayman 7 a series of options entitling Cayman 7 to acquire, subject to the receipt of certain antitrust approvals, the remaining equity interests of RAG held by Lion through Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 (the “Cayman 7 Call Options”). In connection with the exercise of these options, Cayman 7 will receive certain equity interests in RAG, and will pay to Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 consideration as follows: (1) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable on or within 30 days after October 31, 2009, (2) 1,575,000 shares of Common Stock issuable on June 15, 2010 and $25,330,517 and €22,822,679 payable in cash on or within 30 days after June 30, 2010 ($15,000,000 of which may, at the Company’s election, be replaced with an equivalent amount of Common Stock), (3) $69,083,229 and €62,243,670 payable in cash on or within 60 days after May 31, 2011 ($15,000,000 of which may, at the Company’s election, be replaced with an equivalent amount of Common Stock), (4) 751,852 shares of Common Stock issuable, and $70,019,690 and €63,087,417 payable in cash, on or within 90 days after July 31, 2012, and (5) $69,083,229 and €62,243,670 payable in cash on or within 120 days after May 31, 2013 (subject to reduction by up to $10,000,000, and up to $20,000,000 of which may, at the Company’s election, be replaced with an equivalent amount of Common Stock, in each case based upon the date on which such Cayman 7 Call Option is exercised and consummated) (all such Common Stock issuable pursuant to (1) – (5), above, the “Option Share Consideration”). The amounts of cash payable, and number of shares issuable, are subject to certain adjustments based on the price of one share of Common Stock, and reduction in the event of early payment by the Company, in each case over the course of the Acquisition. The Company also will be able to apply the value of any dividends from RAG, in respect of its and Lion’s equity stakes, to prepayment of the consideration. Upon the consummation of all of the transactions contemplated above, the Company will hold all of the equity interests in RAG previously held by Lion, and will hold substantially all of the equity interests in RAG.

As consideration for Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 granting to Cayman 7 the Cayman 7 Call Options, the Company within 30 days after the execution of the Option Agreement, granted to Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 warrants to acquire Common Stock as follows: (1) warrants to acquire, in the aggregate, 1,490,550 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $22.11, exercisable on May 31, 2011, (2) warrants to acquire, in the aggregate, 300,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise prices of $26.00, exercisable on July 31, 2012, and (3) warrants to acquire, in the aggregate, 1,803,813 shares of Common Stock at an exercise prices of $26.00, exercisable on May 31, 2013 (all such warrants, the “Warrants” and all Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants, together with the Note Share Consideration and the Option Share Consideration, the “Share Consideration”). Each of the Warrants may be settled, at the Company’s option, in cash or on a net shares basis.

Based on the guidelines from FAS 141R and FAS 150 business combination is considered a 100 percent acquisition of the shareholding we are committed to buy. We disclosed in the consolidated pro forma balance sheet full liability for such commitment, meaning that CEDC consolidates full profit and loss results for Cayman 2 except for the 9.4% interest owned by Russian Minority Shareholders. The shareholding that we are committed to buy is 90.6% of total shareholding in RAG. We account for the 9.4% of non-controlling interest being presented under the Equity section in the consolidated balance sheet of CEDC.


Under the requirements of FAS 150, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at each period end at the present value of the amount to be paid at settlement (discounted at the rate implicit at inception), if both the amount of cash and the settlement date are fixed, or, otherwise, at the amount that would be paid under the conditions specified in the contract if settlement occurred at the reporting date. Present value was determined using 14.5% discount rate.

Total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:

 

Cash consideration – already paid

   $ 194,750

Consideration from conversion of subordinated loan notes

     109,845

Cash consideration to be paid (deferred consideration stated at present value)

     360,026

Consideration in shares (deferred consideration stated at present value)

     69,819

Consideration in warrants (deferred consideration stated at present value)

     17,405
      
   $ 751,845
      

The Pro forma condensed combined financial information excludes any effects of the foreign currency changes or any hedge transactions the company may enter into.

The table below presents interest expenses on amortization of discount related to deferred charges.

B. DETERMINATION OF GOODWILL AND ADJUSTMENTS TO EQUITY IN AFFILIATES

In connection with the preparation of the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance sheet information at March 31, 2009 the book values of certain assets are adjusted to estimated fair values as follows:

 

Fair value of consideration

   $ 571,138   

Fair value of non-controlling interest

     50,000   

Fair value of previously held equity

     492,818   

Fair value of contingent consideration

     33,402   

less: 100% of Net Identifiable Assets

     (73,213
        

Preliminary Goodwill from Acquisition

     1,074,145   

less: RAG historical goodwill

     (145,074
        

Preliminary Pro Forma Goodwill Adjustment

   $ 929,071   
        


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 regards to the acquisition of the tangible and intangible business assets acquired. CEDC does not expect material adjustments from the completion of this process.

The following adjustments are made to eliminate the March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 income from RAG consolidated under equity method from the income statement:

 

     March 31, 2009     December 31, 2008  

Elimination of equity in net earnings of affiliates

   $ (17,724   $ (17.521

The carrying book value of previously held equity as of March 31, 2009 amounted to $72,490k that was eliminated as a pro forma adjustment.

 

C. FINANCING OF ACQUISITION

To finance a portion of the cash consideration for the Russian Alcohol Group acquisition our subsidiary, Carey Agri borrowed USD 40 million pursuant to a Term Facility.

However the pro forma income statement does not disclose this gain, since such gain is non-recurring and directly attributable to the transaction for which pro forma financial statements are prepared.
