Divisional Review
In the 9 months the sales revenue of the Furniture Division of AS
Viisnurk was EEK 119.1 mil (EUR 7.6 mil) and the economic
performance reflected a profit of EEK 3.3 mil (EUR 0.2 mil). Last
year the sales revenue of the Furniture Division in the 9 months
was EEK 118 mil (EUR 7.5 mil) and the profit amounted to EEK 8.9
mil (EUR 0.57 mil).
In the third quarter, the most important event of the Furniture
Division was completion of preparations for taking over the sales
activities of Skano AG and the network of sales agents covering
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Skano AG has been in the
furniture sales business for more than twenty years with purchase
groups and retail sales chains engaged in mostly German-language
European markets as its clients. In 2003, the turnover of Skano AG
totalled EEK 16 mil (EUR 1 mil). The take–over at the beginning of
October is an essential change in the sales strategy of the
Furniture Division with the aim of creating, through the use of
new sales channels, stable prerequisites for growth in the sales
volume and profitability. The positive impact of the sales
strategy change on the economic performance of the division is
expected beginning from the first half of 2005.
At the end of September, the Furniture Division of AS Viisnurk,
under the Skano trademark, participated in the M.O.W. (Möbel
Ordermesse Westfalica) in Barntrup, Germany, the largest
wholesalers’ fair which is directed to specialists. The new
product lines developed in cooperation with German designers were
presented at the fair.
The Sports Goods Division ended the 9 months with a sales revenue
of EEK 50.7 mil (EUR 3.2 mil) and a loss of EEK 6.4 mil (EUR 0.4
mil), which was better than the budgeted figures. The turnover of
the division in the same period last year was EEK 43.6 mil (EUR
2.8 mil) and the loss amounted to EEK 4.3 mil (EUR 0.27 mil). The
figures regarding the 9 months of 2004 also include the severance
expenses of 141 employees who became redundant in the third
quarter, in the amount of EEK 1.6 mil (EUR 0.1 mil).
By today all customer contracts have been duly performed in the
Sports Goods Division and the division has been closed since 29
October in accordance with the resolution adopted on 31 May 2004.
A total of 231 employees were laid off from the division. The
severance expenses formed EEK 2.9 mil (EUR 0.2 mil). The sales of
the assets of the division will be continued.
In the Building Materials Division the sales revenue achieved
during the 9 months was EEK 73.1 mil (EUR 4.7 mil) and the profit
was EEK 15 mil (EUR 0.96 mil). In the same period last year the
turnover of the division was EEK 68.3 mil (EUR 4.4 mil) and the
profit was EEK 15.8 mil (EUR 1 mil). No significant changes have
taken place in the market situation of the division and the
economic performance of the business unit has been continuously
high. The potential buyer of the Building Materials Division has
been elected and negotiations for entering into a purchase-sales
contract of the division are under way.
The economic performance of the Wood Division of AS Viisnurk,
which terminated its activities on 16 April, was a loss of EEK 3.1
mil (EUR 0.2 mil).

glulam plant. The assets were sold along with the land under the

price has been paid, and EEK 33 mil (EUR 2.1 mil) will be paid
after entry into the real right contract, which shall be executed
after the acts required for division of the land under the Wood
Division have been performed.

assets not connected with production was EEK 4.5 mil / EUR 0.3 mil
(in the third quarter EEK 0.1 mil / EUR 6.000). Additionally,
