Kalev FINANCIAL RESULTS 12.11.2004
ANNUAL REPORT 2003/2004
MANAGEMENT REPORT
1. Economic environment and its impacts
The following factors had a significant impact on the economic activities of AS
Kalev during the 2003/2004 financial year.
1.1.Accession to the European Union
At 1 May of the current year, Estonia became a full member of the European Union
(EU). The EU membership presents an opportunity for Estonia to develop its
enterprise. The most important task for the improvement of the economies and the
welfare of the citizens of the EU member states is to increase the
competitiveness and economic growth of the EU.
Estonia supports the improvement of its domestic market with the help of
attaining greater openness of its economic environment, continuing liberalisation
of markets and reduction of excessive regulation. In 2003, the anticipation of
joining the European Union magnified the tendencies that had already been evident
earlier. There were no expected price increases and the preparations for joining
the EU accelerated the process of making significant investments into Estonia and
the implementation of support projects.
The lowering of interest rates helped propel the economic activities of Estonian
enterprises and stimulate the borrowing by individuals. Low lending rates
stimulating economic growth led to an increase of loan-based consumption in
Estonia. In the future, the most important issue will be the international
competitiveness of the Estonian economy.
The importance of the labour market continues to grow, incl. the impact of salary
agreements to the whole economy. The four freedoms of the EU single market: free
movements of people, goods, capital and services have presented new challenges to
the entrepreneurs.
A characteristic of the economic environment is that the main trading partners of
Estonia are the member states of the European Union. After the expansion of the
EU, the EU already contributes to over 80% of the trade in goods of Estonia. Most
of foreign investments to Estonia have been made by the EU member states.
Due to the differences in the income levels of Estonia and the European Union,
the local prices have stayed somewhat lower. If the economic growth of Estonia
remains higher than that of the EU, then it will lead to faster inflation. In
principle, this means that with the harmonisation of the income levels, the
harmonisation of price levels between Estonia and the EU will take place in the
following decades.
The accession of Estonia to the European Union impacted AS Kalev via the price
increase of its main raw material, sugar. The European Commission does not
consider the current EU sugar sector sustainable and has proposed to reform the
EU sugar regime. According to the proposal, the sugar reform would start in
2005/2006 and would last for three years. During the reform, the reference prices
of white sugar would fall in two stages by 33%. The current sugar regime is being
criticised for the lack of competition, market distortions, high prices and their
impact in the world market (especially in the context of developing countries).
1.2. Changes in legislation
Compliance with the obligation of recycling packages and packaging waste
AS Kalev has decided to join a recycling organisation managed and owned by
Estonian packaging companies. The main objective of the recycling organisation is
to free the packaging company from the recycling obligation. In our activities,
we shall consider the following:
. the EU environmental principles and requirements for the promotion of
preventing, reducing and recycling of packages and packaging waste;
. the obligations accompanying the entry into force of a new packaging law for
the collection and recycling of packages brought to the market, carrying out
necessary reporting and supervision;
. the interest to preserve and promote the industry's competitiveness within
the framework of environmentally sound activities;
. the experience of other European countries in implementing the producer's
liability principle with regard to recycling of packages and packaging
waste.
Other market regulations concerning the confectionery industry
In conjunction with the accession to the European Union, its market regulations
became effective also in Estonia:
1. The export subsidy system depending on target markets, which allows selling
goods originating in the European single market in the world market at a
more favourable price.
2. Subsidy rates apply to the following raw materials used by us: sugar, syrup,
dairy products, and egg products.
3. Usage subsidy of dairy products with the goal to promote the consumption of
butter and cream in the European Union member states. The target group of
the subsidy are food businesses that use these products in making final
products.
4. The recipient of the subsidy is the milk industry that processes the raw
material in compliance with the requirements. The subsidy to the producer of
a final product lies in the opportunity to obtain raw material at more
favourable terms in accordance with previous agreements with the milk
industry.
The Alcohol Excise Duty Act does not impact the economic activities of the
company, as the Tallinn Customs House of the Tax and Customs Board issued at
23.01.2004 excise suspension permits for exemption from excise duty on alcohol
necessary for the production of chocolate for the next 12 calendar months.
2. Group structure and its changes
As at 30.06.2004 AS Kalev had significant participation in the following
entities:

market and starting of its activities in the bread sector in line with AS Kalev's
long-term development strategy. AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine has a strong position in
the Estonian biscuit market, which gave AS Kalev a competitive advantage when
acquiring the market share. An advantage for entry into the bread sector was the
well-functioning production activities of the acquired entity and the existence
of skilled labour.

Museum that has been open at Pärnu Road 139 for three years will be moved to this
building. A collection of several thousand exhibits provides an overview of the
approximately two hundred year old history of the local sweets industry that
started at the location of the present day café of Maiasmokk.
Under the lease agreement, OÜ Maiasmokk uses the building with cultural value
located at Pikk Street 16, Tallinn where the direct predecessor of AS Kalev,
Lorenz Caviezel laid the foundation to the Estonian confectionery industry in
1806. In 1894, Georg Stude bought the building and opened a confectionery store
under his own name there, offering among other things, exclusive hand-made
marzipan figures and candies. AS Kalev still uses the marzipan moulds as well as
several recipes used for making handmade sweets of its predecessor, the Stude

2.6. Subsidiary Kalev Merchant Services Ltd
Kalev Merchant Services Ltd is a subsidiary of AS Kalev located in the USA, whose

3. Market and sales of confectionery products
3.1. Chocolate and sugar confectionery products
According to the research conducted by the research company AC Nielsen Eesti, the
market share of AS Kalev by volume reached 46,1% in the chocolate and sugar
confectionery product segment during the period of June and July of 2004.
In the first half of the 2003/2004 financial year, the main emphasis of the
marketing and sales activities of AS Kalev was mostly directed at the preparation
and successful implementation of Christmas sales. In October, AS Kalev introduced
its largest ever collection of Christmas products, consisting of more than 50
items. The company expanded its product range with new products - gingerbread
cookies and alcohol-free mulled wine.
In the first half of the current financial year, the company also introduced
another product, Mõnus Maius made of toffee and corn puffs which was named the
Best Confectionery Product of Estonia at the competition of Estonian Food
Industry Association in 2003. In addition, new Bitter chocolate with new
additives was introduced for sale at the export markets and the chocolates The
Sealords and Mermaid for sale in the tax-free system.
In the third quarter of the 2003/2004 financial year, the company laid emphasis
on the introduction and sales of a product portfolio for St. Valentine's Day and
Easter. The new products introduced at the market were candy boxes Coco, hazelnut
Maiuspala, Magus Mäng, Kuldne Kalev and vanilla Souffle. In addition, the
expansion of the product family Ooops! banana and peppermint Ooops!. In the
fourth quarter, new chocolate boxes Tallinna Raekoda and Kooreliköör were
introduced in the chocolate box sector.
3.2. Flour confectionery products
In line with the long-term development strategy of AS Kalev, the company expanded
its product portfolio with flour confectionery products, by acquiring a majority
stake in AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine at the end of 2003. The company considers
biscuits its most important product, but regionally bread products and cakes,
etc. are also important.
AS Kalev became more active in the flour confectionery sector in the second half
of the current financial year, introducing a new squirt cookied group and
renewing several packages of the moulded cookies earlier belonging to the product
portfolio of AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine. According to the retail research of AC
Nielsen, AS Kalev's market share in the biscuit sector was 19,4% by volume in
June-July 2004.
In the first half of the fiscal year, AS Kalev also continued the production and
marketing of other pastry products in the local market. The modernisation of
bread packaging was started.
3.3. Other products
During this period, in addition to dairy-based products AS Kalev Paide Tootmine
also gradually increased the production of dairy products, such as butter, skim
milk and milk powder, and to a lesser degree high-temperature pasteurised milk.
The dairy products of the subsidiary are divided into subcontracting and semi-
finished products.
3.4.Total sales of confectionery products
During the 2003/2004 financial year, the total sales of AS Kalev's confectionery
products reached 7300 tonnes, increasing by almost 9% as compared to the same
period last year. The increase of total sales was mostly caused by the addition
of cookies and pastry products to the product portfolio of the company at the
beginning of 2004. In the financial year, the sales of chocolate confectionery
products were more modest than normally as a result of a production stoppage due
to the moving to a new location and the resulting shortages of certain products.
Of the total sales volume, 76% of the confectionery products were sold in the
domestic market and 24% were exported. In the previous financial year, the
domestic sales were 80% and exports 20%. A slight increase of the exports can be
attributed to the peculiarity of the exported product portfolio - the major part
of export products are made at the caramel department of AS Kalev, whose
production was not shut down in conjunction with the start-up of the new
production facility.
In the financial year under review, the main export target country continued to
be Latvia and also Ukraine until 1.05.2004. After the accession to the European
Union, AS Kalev ended its exports to Ukraine as the company's products are no
longer competitive there due to the price increase. In addition to these
countries, Kalev exported its products to Russia, the Scandinavian countries and
the United States.
4. Operating activities and financial results
In the 2003/2004 financial year, the consolidated net sales of AS Kalev were
624,2 million kroons (39,9 million Euros), increasing by 79% as compared to the
previous financial year (2002/2003 - 347,7 million kroons, 22,2 million Euros).
In the 2003/2004 financial year, the company's consolidated net profit was 17,2
million kroons (1,1 million Euros) which is 48% less than in the previous
financial year (2002/2003 - 32,5 million kroons) (2,1 million Euros).
The consolidated net sales of AS Kalev were also helped by the acquisition of a
new subsidiary, AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine (with the previous business name AS
Järle) at the beginning of 2004. Also, the sales growth of two other subsidiaries
- AS Kalev Paide Tootmine and AS Kalev Real Estate Company (AS Kalev REC) in the
period under review.
The consolidated net profit of AS Kalev during the 2003/2004 financial year was
impacted by other operating income. The core activity, i.e. the production and
sales of confectionery products has stabilised since the company moved into the
new production facility at Põrguvälja in the first quarter of the financial year
and resolved the problems related to the launching of operations. The company
continues a targeted and consistent work to increase its profitability.
At the same time, the price of the main raw material of AS Kalev - sugar -
increased in connection with Estonia's becoming a member of the European Union by
approximately 9 kroons per kilogramme, which will lead to an estimated 37 million
kroons (2,4 million Euros) additional annual cost to the company.
The increase of the administrative expenses was also impacted by the relocation
of AS Kalev to the new production facility. The administrative expenses include
one-time expenses for the moving and assembly of the production equipment of the
chocolate unit and the launching of production in the amount of 15,2 million
kroons (0,97 million Euros). In addition, the moving expenses of the caramel unit
in the amount of 2,5 million kroons (160 thousand Euros) were incurred in the
last quarter of the financial year.
In the period under review, a 16 percent increase in the distribution costs was
mostly caused by the addition of a new subsidiary, AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine to the
AS Kalev group.
AS Kalev's other operating expenses include a 10,06 million kroon (643 thousand
Euro) loss on the sale of an investment property.
5. Organisation and personnel
5.1. ISO 9001:2000 quality control system
A review of control systems started in the 2002/2003 financial year and their
compliance with ISO 9001:2000 quality control system ended this financial year
when the international certification body, BVQI (Bureau Veritas Quality
International) issued two quality certificates that confirm the compliance of AS
Kalev and AS Kalev Paide Tootmine, respectively, with ISO 9001:2000 standard.
AS Kalev was granted the certificate of quality for the sugar and chocolate
confectionery products in the areas of product development, production and sales.
The quality control standard is first and foremost aimed at the expansion of the
client centre.
AS Kalev Paide Tootmine was granted a certificate for the production of dairy and
dairy-based products as well as the production of confectionery products.
The certificate of quality is a proof of the company's success in the quality
control of its products in addition to ensuring product quality, leading to the
business partners' trust in the company.
5.2. Recruitment of employees - Contest of Stars
In conjunction with the expansion of its activities, AS Kalev conducted a
recruiting contest at the beginning of 2004 with the goal of finding employees,
mostly managers and specialists in 18 areas. The company received 652
applications. The most popular position was that of Events' Coordinator with 132
applications, followed by Client Service Manager with 66, Administrative Manager
with 54 and Advertising Manager with 53 applications.
On the basis of these applications, 128 candidates or a fifth of all candidates
were invited to participate in group projects. Of them, 34 candidates were
invited for an interview in addition to those 30 who were directly invited. AS
Kalev found 18 new employees through the recruiting contest, most of whom started
to work at the company in the spring and summer of 2004.
5.3. Number of employees and their average salaries
In the 2003/2004 financial year, the average number of employees at AS Kalev was
712 people, a 28% increase when compared with the same period a year ago. This
change was caused mostly by the addition of the employees of AS Kalev Jõhvi
Tootmine to the group's staff.
Employees were paid wages and salaries in the total amount of 50 305 182 kroons
(3 215 087 Euros). During the year, the members of the Management and Supervisory
Boards were paid remuneration of 496 160 kroons (31 710 Euros).
During the reporting period, neither the letters of guarantee have been issued to
nor the potential liabilities related to the company have been assumed by the
members of the Management and Supervisory Boards.
6. Key events
6.1. AS Kalev - Estonia's most reputable company
According to the traditional research on reputation, conducted by the market
research company TNS Emor in April 2004, the people of Estonia rated AS Kalev as
the most reputable company.
The basis for the ranking of companies according to their reputation is the
research conducted by TNS Emor on the recognition and reputation of companies
which measures recognition, reputation strength and likeability of companies. The
parameters mapped out in the study provide an overview of how residents of
Estonia perceive the companies operating in the local market: which companies are
known, which ones appear stronger to the residents and which ones are the most
likeable.
According to TNS Emor, AS Kalev as well as other companies that have made it to
the top of the reputation study are characterised by stability and relative
independence of current media coverage. In its turn, the company's strong and
established image helps it to continue with its stable development.
6.2. Construction of new production facility and relocation
AS Kalev started to construct it new production facility in May 2002. The
facility was completed in September 2003, being the largest food processing
production facility completed mostly in one step since Estonia's regaining its
independence. The total area of Kalev's new production facility is 26 500 m², of
which production and technical space is 16 500 m², warehouses are 6000 m²,
employee dressing rooms, the canteen and the laundry room are 2000 m² and the
office is 2000 m².
The main advantage of Kalev's new production facility is the production in one
facility on one floor instead of the previous eight production floors located in
two separate buildings. At the same time, the warehouse space expanded and
warehouse logistics improved at the new factory.
Most of the daily production activities were launched in the new production
facility at 15.09.2003, after receiving the permit for a specified term in cocoa,
and cocoa products, chocolate products and marzipan groups of the food processing
area from the Veterinary and Food Board. As the last production unit, the
company's caramel unit operated at the old location at Pärnu Road 139, Tallinn
until May 2004. Most of the unit was moved to the production facility at
Põrguvälja in June 2004.
6.3. Expansion of AS Kalev's areas of operation
In line with its long-term strategic development plan, AS Kalev successfully
expanded its operations into a new area, i.e. flour confectionery sector in the
2003/2004 financial year. To attain the goals specified in the strategic
development plan, AS Kalev acquired a majority holding in AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine
(with the previous business name AS Järle).
6.4. Development of Kalevite Kodud (Kalev's Homes)
During the financial year of the current management report, the company stopped
the development of its chain of shop-cafés Kalevite Kodud in conjunction with
moving into the new production facility and launching of its operations there. As
Kalevite Kodud are an important project for AS Kalev, its development will
continue in the next financial year. In the future, Kalevite Kodud will be opened
in all county centres of Estonia.
6.5. Conducting special audit and results
A special audit at AS Kalev was conducted at the request of the company's
shareholder AS Milestone. At 04.03.2004, an Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders decided to conduct a special audit with regard to questions related
to the management and financial situation of AS Kalev. AS PricewaterhouseCoopers
was appointed to conduct the special audit, whereas the shareholder AS Milestone
that had requested the conducting of a special audit at the General Meeting of
Shareholders, voted against it.
The special audit covered the following topics:
a) Facts related to the entry into lease agreements regarding the equipment and
the immovable property of AS Paide Piimakombinaat;
b) The settling of obligations arising from the contracts of suretyship entered
into to guarantee the loans taken by AS ETFC Group;
c) AS Kalev's transactions with Rein Kaseleht, Tiit Kõuhkna and Toomas Kõuhkna;
d) AS Kalev's transactions with Tööstuse Teenindamise AS;
e) AS Kalev's transactions with the Estonian Olympic Committee, Estonian Handball
Association and OÜ Gunnar Klettenberg based on their cooperation and/or sponsor
agreements;
f) Transactions related to the acquisition of horse trailers by AS Kalev.
The special audit did not identify any damages caused to the company by the
management of AS Kalev or any mistakes in the management of the company.
6.6. Real estate transactions
6.6.1. Transactions regarding the legal share of Pärnu Road 139 registered
immovable
At 2.06.2004, AS Kalev entered into an agreement with OÜ Raldon to amend and
supplement the sales contract with the repurchase right under the law of
obligation with regard to the 18070/52410 legal share of the registered immovable
property located at Pärnu Road 139. According to the agreement, AS Kalev sold
this particular registered immovable property with its essential parts and
accessories to OÜ Raldon for the price of 117 million kroons (7,5 million Euros),
of which the sales price is 87 million kroons (5,6 million Euros) and the fee for
foregoing the repurchase right of 30 million kroons (1,9 million Euros).
The reason for foregoing the repurchase right for the legal share of this
particular registered immovable property is the decision by AS Kalev to lay the
main emphasis on the marketing activities of confectionery products in strategic
markets, growing the company through new product groups and investing more into
product development. Taking this into consideration, the Management Board of the
company did not deem it necessary to use the repurchase right for this registered
immovable in the future and decided to transfer it.
6.6.2. Transaction of subsidiary
The Finance Ministry of the Republic of Estonia and the subsidiary of AS Kalev,
AS Kalev Real Estate Company (Kalev REC) entered into a sale and real rights
contract at 16.09.2003, according to which the Ministry sold and Kalev REC
purchased the registered immovables I and III of Keila-Joa recreation area.
The seller sold the items in the contract to the buyer for the price of fifty two
million seven hundred thousand (52 700 000) kroons (3 368 144 Euros) which was
the winning bid at an auction.
Kalev REC also concluded a sales contract under the law of obligation for these
registered immovables with AS Hansa Liising Eesti according to which the latter
financed the purchase transaction of these registered immovables in the amount of
30 million kroons (1.9 million Euros). The interest on the lease agreement is a 6-
month EURIBOR + 2,75% annually, which was 4,94% at the time of the contract. The
last payment according to the payment schedule will be at 15.09.2004.
The parties have agreed that during the validity of the contract, the obligation
to make payments under the lease agreements of Kalev REC will be reduced by 100%
from the payments received under preliminary contracts entered into regarding the
partial transfer of the registered immovables.
According to the estimate of Kalev REC's management, the determining factor for
the purchase of the above-mentioned registered immovables was their promising and
high potential nature, and this with regard to real estate development. Kalev REC
will prepare a detailed plan of these registered immovables which divides the
acquired registered immovables into residential lots.
7. Main activities for the 2004/2005 financial year
In accordance with the development trends as defined in the strategy of AS Kalev,
one of the goals of the company for the 2004/2005 financial year is the
development of its activities in the flour confectionery sector. Also, the
integration of the acquired subsidiary AS Kalev Jõhvi Tootmine and after the
closing of the 2003/2004 financial year, the acquired subsidiary AS Vilma into
the Kalev Group will be one of the most significant activities in the current
financial year.
In the financial year under review, AS Kalev will continue consistent work on
increasing the profitability of its core activity - the production and sales of
confectionery products.
In the product development area, the product portfolio will be expanded both for
domestic as well as export markets. An important goal is the fulfilment of
consumer expectations considering their wishes.
As to the sales activities, the chain of the shop-cafes Kalevite Kodud will be
further developed. At the beginning of 2005, Kalevite Kodud will be opened in
Paide and Rakvere.

export markets and the strengthening of its position in existing markets. For
this purpose, targeted development will continue in high priority target markets
as defined in the development strategy of the company. Also, attention will be
paid the analysis and usage of opportunities arising from the expansion of the
European Union.
