CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT FOR THE 4TH QUARTER OF 2004

Explanatory memorandum to interim report for the 4th
quarter of 2004

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.


Results for twelve months of the year 2004

The unaudited consolidated net sales of the AS Klementi
group in the year 2004 amounted to EEK 129.2 million
(€8.3 million) and the net loss was EEK 9.8 million (€0.6
million). The sales of the previous year amounted to EEK
133.6 million (€8.5 million) and the net loss was EEK
21.6 million (€1.4 million). The sales decreased in the
year 2004 by 3.3% compared to the previous year.

In comparison with the previous year, the structure of
sales has changed to some extent. Apparel sales made up
79.2% of the total sales (82.2% in the year 2003). The
percentage of subcontracted production in the sales
structure increased by 3.4% over the year 2004 and the
net sales of subcontracted production grew by EEK 3.8
million or 18%. Export sales decreased by EEK 3.3 million
(€0.4 million) over the year 2004.

Retail sales accounted for 59% of apparel sales in 2004.
In 2003 the share of retail sales was 37%. Compared to
the previous year, the average retail sales per square
metre increased by nearly 29%. As of the end of the year
2004, Klementi was using 2744 square metres of sales area
(compared to 2689 square metres of retail sales area a
year ago).

As the development of retail trade has been positive for
AS Klementi in 2004, the primary goals for the year 2005
include continuing the expansion of the retail trade
network under the PTA trademark in the Baltic States and
continuous improvement of the efficiency ratios of retail
trade of a calibre comparable to the year 2004.

As a result of the inappropriate positioning of apparel
marketed under the PTA trademark and the unsatisfactory
results of sales of the collection, wholesale in the
Scandinavian countries declined by almost 30%. By now, AS
Klementi has adjusted the positioning of the PTA
trademark and expects higher sales of the new collections
of the company in the Scandinavian countries starting
from the year 2006.

Compared to the year 2003, the company’s cash flow from
operating activities has improved by EEK 27.8 million
(€1.8 million) and external finance has decreased by more
than twice.

The group employed 458 people as of 31 December 2004 (487
in the year 2003), i.e. 6% less than at the end of the
year 2003.


Profit analysis

Operating profit for the year 2004 before depreciation of
fixed assets amounted to EEK 4.0 million (€0.3 million)
representing an increase by EEK 12.4 million (€0.8
million) when compared to the previous year. Loss
decreased in 2004 by EEK 11.9 million (€0.8 million) when
compared to the year 2003. In 2004, staff costs and
operating expenses decreased by 15.3% and 18%,
respectively, by the aggregate amount of EEK 14.5 million
(€0.9 million).

The operating profit for the 4th quarter of 2004 amounted
to EEK 0.05 million (€0.003 million). An accounting error
representing EEK 1.3 million (€0.08 million), which was
made in the recognition of semi-finished products in the
first half of the year 2004, had a negative impact on the
results for the 4th quarter and was corrected in the
report for the 4th quarter of the year 2004.


Balance Sheet and ratios

The consolidated Balance Sheet total of AS Klementi was
EEK 108.0 million (€6.9 million) as of 31 December 2004.
The Balance Sheet total has decreased by EEK 14.0 million
(€0.9 million) since the beginning of the year.

Trade receivables have decreased by EEK 3.8 million (€0.2
million) as of the end of the year due to the decreased
wholesale to Scandinavian customers. The group’s
inventories totalled EEK 30.4 million (€1.9 million) as
of the end of 2004. The decrease of inventories by EEK
2.9 million (€0.2 million) since the beginning of the
year is related to the adjustment of the cost of semi-
finished products in the 4th quarter and the active sales
of inventories of the previous season. Accounts payable
have decreased by EEK 0.3 million (€0.02 million) as of
the end of the year. Net variation in debts amounted to
EEK 4.4 million (€0.3 million) in the year 2004.

The main financial indicators and ratios that
characterise the consolidated data of the AS Klementi
group for the twelve months of the year 2004 are as
