AS KLEMENTI            FINANCIAL RESULTS         12.09.2005

RESULTS FOR SIX MONTHS OF 2005

AS Klementi is a company operating in Estonia in the
field of design, manufacturing, retail sales and
wholesale of apparel. The company has been registered and
operates in Tallinn. The head office of the company is
located at Akadeemia tee 33, Tallinn.


Material specification concerning the interim report for
the second quarter of 2005

The introduction of the new business software, “Microsoft
Axapta”, has proved to be remarkably more arduous and
time-consuming than the timeframe originally planned.

As a result of errors in the conversion of the initial
data regarding inventories from the previous software
programme into the new one, and due to the erroneous set-
up of the programme as regards finances, the accounting
of inventories was incorrect in the first quarter. Those
errors were detected and corrected at the end of the
second quarter.

Owing to the errors that had occurred in the set-up of
the business software and in the conversion of data, a
scrupulous stocktake of inventories was carried out at
the end of the second quarter, on the results of which
the inventories were recorded at their correct and fair
value.

In connection with the foregoing, AS Klementi has
retroactively corrected the performance result for the
first quarter of 2005, as well as the result for the
second quarter with a view to ensuring the correct
accounting of inventories.

Since the business software does not allow us to
precisely allocate said corrections to past quarters, the
changes made to the results of the first quarter are to
be viewed as the evaluation of the management rendered on
the basis its best knowledge, and the aggregate effect of
the accounting of inventories on the result of the half-
year is set out in the report for the first half-year.

Results for six months of 2005

The consolidated net sales of the AS Klementi group in
the first half-year 2005 amounted to EEK 58.0 million
(€3.7 million) and the net loss was EEK 5.6 million (€0.4
million). Sales for the same period in the previous year
amounted to EEK 63.6 million (€4.1 million) and the net
loss was EEK 4.7 million (€0.3 million). Sales decreased
in the first half-year 2005 by 8.8% compared to the
previous year.

Apparel sales made up 74% of total sales in the first
half-year (78% in the first half-year 2004). The
percentage of subcontracted production in the sales
structure increased by 3.2% in the first half-year 2005
compared to the same period of the previous year.
Compared to the same period of the previous year, export
sales decreased by EEK 6.0 million (€0.4 million) in the
first half-year 2005. The reason for the decline in net
sales lies in a decrease of wholesale to Sweden and
Norway.

In the first half-year 2005 the percentage of retail
sales in net sales increased by approximately 9% compared
to the same period of the previous year. Retail sales
accounted for more than 71% of apparel sales in the first
half-year 2005 (44% in the first half-year 2004).
Compared to the same period of the previous year, the
average retail sales per square metre increased by nearly
7.5%. As of the end of June 2005, Klementi was using
2,646 square metres of sales area (compared to 3,154
square metres of retail sales area a year ago).

Starting from 2005, AS Klementi is focusing more on the
development of retail trade. In the first half-year PTA
stores were opened in the Sola Centre in Daugavpils and
in the Mols Centre in Riga. The factory outlet operating
in Stockholm was closed at the end of June.

At the end of June, active operations of the subsidiaries
located in Finland and Sweden were terminated. Klementi
Trading OY commenced economic activities in October 1998
with the aim of wholesale of the production of AS
Klementi in Finland. Klementi Trading AB commenced
economic activities in August 2003 with the aim of
wholesale of the production of AS Klementi in Sweden. As
Estonia’s accession to the European Union has made
trading with other Member States markedly easier, the
need for the administration of operations in said
countries ceased to exist.

As of 30 June 2005, 420 employees worked for the Group
(479 employees as of 30 June 2004).


Profit analysis

Operating profit for the first half-year 2005 before
depreciation of fixed assets amounted to EEK 1.0 million
(€0.06 million), representing an increase by EEK 0.9
million (€0.05 million) when compared to the same period
of the previous year.

As of the end of the first half-year 2005, trade
receivables had decreased by EEK 4.3 million (€0.3
million) in connection with the payment of invoices for
spring season products by wholesale customers. Accounts
payable had increased by EEK 1.2 million (€0.1 million)
as of the end of the first half-year 2005. Total debts
