Total owners’ equity
The share capital of the Saku Brewery of 80 million kroons was made up of 8
million registered shares with the nominal value of 10 kroons. According to
the articles of association of the parent company the minimal amount of share
capital is 80 million kroons and the maximum amount of share capital is 320
million kroons.
According to the principles of the new Income Tax Act the deferred income tax
liability arisen in previous periods due to the differences between the assets
and liabilities’ book value and tax base will not realise. Having due regard
of this fact and the decision by the Accounting Board of the Republic of
Estonia No.2-1 “The Influence of the Income Tax Act on the Accounting and
Reporting Practice”, the unrestricted owners’ equity reflected in the opening
balance sheet for the financial year has been increased by the amount of the
previously reported deferred income tax liability of 15 983 993 kroons and the
income for 1998, presented as the comparative basis, has been increased by 1
427 539 kroons.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The annual financial statements for 1999 have been compiled in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of the Republic of Estonia. The
principal requirements of generally accepted accounting principles have been
established by the Accounting Act of the Republic of Estonia, supplemented by
the guidelines issued by the Accounting Board of the Republic of Estonia and
International Accounting Standards (IAS).
Consolidation principles
Saku Keldri OÜ, Saku Õlu OÜ, and Saku Purgiõlle OÜ—all 100% owned by the
Brewery, are included in consolidated financial statements using the line-by-
line consolidation principle. Intra-group receivables and payables, income and
expenses have been eliminated. In the consolidated balance sheet the
investments into subsidiaries have been eliminated with their owners’ equity.
In the balance of the parent company investment in the shares of subsidiaries
has been accounted for under the modified equity method.
Cash
In the cash flow statement, ‘cash’ denotes cash at hand, bank accounts and
short-term deposits.
Foreign currency
All the foreign currency transactions by the Saku Brewery and the group have
been accounted for in Estonian kroons according to the official rate of the
Bank of Estonia on the day of the transaction. In the balance sheet the assets
and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated into Estonian
kroons according to the official rate of the Bank of Estonia on the balance
sheet date. Exchange gains and losses have been reflected in the income
statement as income and expenses.
Short-term financial investments
In the balance sheet short-term financial investments have been reflected
according to what is lower: either the acquisition cost or net realisable
value and the change in their value has been shown in the income statement as
financial income or expense.
Long-term financial investments
Shares in subsidiaries and loans that have been issued for a period longer
than one year have been reflected as long-term financial investments.
Sales
Sales income has been reflected at net realisable value and does not include
taxes. Upon selling the production sales income is reflected as of the moment
when invoice has been issued to the buyer.
Receivables
The receivables reflected in the balance sheet have been accounted for based
on recoverability. Doubtful customer receivables have been expensed.
Collection in the financial year of items previously expensed as irrecoverable
has been reported as an adjustment to doubtful receivables.
Inventories
In the balance sheet inventories have been reflected according to whichever is
lower: the acquisition cost or net realisable value. The work in progress and
the finished production have been accounted for at conversion cost including
the direct and indirect production costs. The FIFO method has been used to
calculate expenses on the raw material, the work in progress, and the finished
products.
Tangible assets
Assets utilised for more than one year whose purchase price exceeds 10000
kroons are accounted for as fixed assets. Fixed assets are carried at
acquisition cost, accumulated depreciation is shown separately. Depreciation
is accounted for using the straight-line method.
Depreciation has been calculated according to the following depreciation
rates:
Computer hard and software 33.3%
Machinery and equipment 12.5 20%
Constructions 5 10%
Buildings 3%
Depreciation for tax purposes has been calculated using the following rates:
I group buildings and constructions and their structural elements 8 %
II group other depreciable fixed assets used in business 40%
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Income Tax Act that took effect on January 1, 2000 affects the accounting
for the deferred income tax liability. In this Annual Report the unrestricted
owners’ equity recorded in the opening balance sheet for 1999 and the income
statement for 1998, presented for comparative purposes, have been adjusted
consistent with decision No.2-1 “The Influence of the Income Tax Act on the
Accounting and Reporting Practice” by the Accounting Board of the Republic of
Estonia. The effect of the change on the owners’ equity reflected in the
opening balance sheet for 1999 and the profits for 1998 has been explained in
the statement of the change in owners’ equity.

subsidiary and extending its own operations onto the premises of the
subsidiary, acquired the remaining 50% of the shares of AS Saku Linnas. In
1999, this short-term investment was written down by 2 741 789 kroons and has
been accounted for in the balance sheet at the estimated liquidation value of

In 1999 the depreciation of tare amounted to 1 294 thousand kroons and the
write-offs of materials unsuitable for use totalled 725 thousand kroons.
Compared to 1998, in 1999 the inventories of the group increased by 8%. The
growth in inventories has been in correlation with the development of the
sales and production activities. That includes also the quick growth in the
amount of malt, which resulted from favourable purchasing conditions, as well
as the increase in can packaging that was due to the increase of the share of
canned beer in the product portfolio.

000 kroons be distributed to the shareholders as dividends. The proposal has
to be approved by the general meeting of shareholders. According to the
