Income statement
In the first half of 2005 sales from the Company’s main operating
activities grew by 2.4 mln EUR, or 15.8% to 17.7 mln EUR. This
increase was in accordance with expectations and is largely
attributable to the increase in water and sewerage tariffs from 1
January 2005 for the Company’s residential and commercial
customers. Sales volumes of water supplied and wastewater treated
in the residential and commercial sectors grew, year on year, by
1.4% and 2% respectively. Sales volumes of wastewater treatment
services provided to surrounding municipalities outside of the
services area reached almost 450,000 m3 in the first six months of
2005, an increase of 9% on the corresponding period in 2004.
Profits from other operating activities the first half of 2005,
primarily connections income, were 0.2 mln EUR, a 0.1 mln EUR
decrease from 2004 levels.
Cost of goods sold for the main operating activity were held down
to 6.3 mln EUR in the first half of 2005, an increase of 0.1 mln
EUR or 1.8% from the equivalent period in 2004. With inflation
at 3.1% for the twelve month period to June 2005 this is a real
decrease and, was achieved by cost savings resulting from improved
procurements and processes in the operations activity.
The Company’s gross profit for the first six months of 2005 was
11.6 mln EUR, which represents an increase of 2.3 mln EUR, or
23.9%, compared to gross profit of 9.3 mln EUR for the first six
months of 2004.
As a result the Company achieved an improved gross profit margin
of 59.7% for the first six months of 2005 compared to 52.6% for
the first six months of 2004. This reflects the Company’s ability
to control operating costs and convert the sales growth into
improved profit margins.
Other expenses increased by 1.9 mln EUR, from 0.7 mln EUR in the
first half of 2004 up to 2.7 mln EUR in first half 2005. This was
mainly attributable to the one-off IPO costs incurred by the
Company in order to be listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange.
IPO costs in total were 1.6 mln EUR, being made up of 1.2 mln EUR
for professional services and 0.4 mln EUR for the cost of a staff
bonus (every person working for the Company received 639 EUR
bonus).
The Company’s operating profit for the first six months of 2005
was 8.9 mln EUR, which represented an increase of 0.3 mln EUR, or
3.4%, over the operating profit of 8.6 mln EUR for the first six
months of 2004.
Income taxes increased by 0.6 mln EUR, from 1.7 mln EUR in first
half 2004 up to 2.3 mln EUR in first half 2005 as a result of the
improved dividend.
The Company’s net profit for the first half of 2005, including the
impact of one-off IPO costs, was 4.9 mln EUR, a decrease of 0.3
mln EUR compared to the corresponding period in 2004.
Balance sheet
The Company’s total assets were 147.5 mln EUR as at 30 June 2005,
an increase of 12.3 mln EUR year-on-year. Current assets increased
by 5.7 mln EUR
Tangible and intangible fixed assets and asset constructions in
progress totalled 124.2 mln EUR at 30 June 2005, an increase of
4.3 mln EUR of the fixed asset base in the year, reflecting the
Company’s investment in assets in order to continually improve
services to customers.
Current liabilities increased by 5.5 mln EUR, reflecting an
increase in deferred income (2.9 mln EUR prepayment for the sale
of fixed assets and a 3.0 mln EUR increase in the current portion
of long-term loans). Long-term liabilities increased by 3.2 mln
EUR up to 70.6 mln EUR at the end of June 2005 mainly due to the
final drawdown of the EBRD loan in the value of 7 mln EUR in
April, which was partially offset by the first repayment of
principle on the long-term loan in the amount of 2.8 mln EUR in
May 2005.
Cash flow

activities was 7.1 mln EUR, a 0.2 mln EUR, or 3%, increase
