AS KLEMENTI FINANCIAL RESULTS 12.09.2005
CORRECTED RESULTS FOR THREE 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.
Changes introduced to the interim report for the first
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 1st 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
thorough stocktake of inventories was carried out at the
end of the 2nd 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
1st quarter of 2005, as well as the result for the 2nd
quarter with a view to ensuring the correct accounting of
inventories.
In the Income Statement for the first quarter, changes
were introduced to the rows “Change in inventories” and
“Goods, raw materials and services”, the aggregate effect
of which amounted to EEK 7,140 thousand. Inventories were
reduced by the same amount in the row “Inventories” in
the Balance Sheet prepared as of 31 March 2005. Since the
business software does not allow us to precisely allocate
said corrections to past quarters, the changes made to
the result of the first quarter are to be viewed as the
evaluation of the management rendered on the basis of its
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. In addition, the cost
of depreciation has been reduced by EEK 55 thousand in
the Income Statement for the first quarter, and the
change is reported in the row “Intangible assets” in the
Balance Sheet prepared as of 31 March 2005.
Results for three months of 2005
The consolidated net sales of the AS Klementi group in
the first quarter of 2005 amounted to EEK 32.2 million
(€2.1 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 39.1 million (€2.5 million) and the net
loss was EEK 1.4 million (€0.1 million). Sales decreased
in the first quarter of 2005 by 17.5% compared to the
previous year.
Apparel sales made up 74% of total sales in the first
quarter (80% in the first quarter of 2004). The
percentage of subcontracted production in the sales
structure grew by 5.2% in the first quarter of 2005.
Compared to the same period of the previous year, export
sales decreased by EEK 6.7 million (€0.4 million) in the
first quarter of 2005. The reason for the decline in net
sales lies in a decrease of wholesale to Sweden and
Norway.
Compared to the first quarter of 2004, the relative share
of retail sales grew by approximately 9% in the first
quarter of 2005. Retail sales accounted for nearly 59% of
apparel sales in the first quarter of 2005 (43% in the
first quarter of 2004). Compared to the previous year,
the average retail sales per square metre increased by
nearly 4.4%. As of the end of the first quarter of 2005,
Klementi was using 2,799 square metres of sales area
(compared to 2,356 square metres of retail sales area a
year ago).
Starting from 2005, AS Klementi is focusing more on the
development of retail trade and on the extension of
selling space. At the end of the first quarter, a PTA
store was opened in the Sola Centre in Daugavpils, and at
the beginning of the second quarter in the Mols Centre in
Riga. In conjunction with Mari Koger, an interior
decorator, a new concept for the interior decoration of
PTA stores was developed, which was used for the first
time in the PTA store opened in the Mols Centre in Riga.
Cooperation with large-scale buyers of the subcontracting
service package was started in the first quarter of 2005.
As a result of reorientation of a part of the production
capacity to the sales of finished goods, the company has
succeeded in improving profitability in said sphere.
In 2004, AS Klementi started preparations for development
and introduction in 2005 of a new information system, MS
Axapta. Following full introduction of the software, the
new integrated information system should significantly
improve the speed of obtaining information on
developments in retail trade and statistics of sales, as
well as improve the management of inventories. The
needs of product development were taken into account to a
substantial extent in the development of the information
system. It is also intended to integrate production
management in the single information system during the
second phase of introduction of the software. Cooperation
with the company consulting the introduction of the
software has proved to be more arduous and time-consuming
than the timeframe originally planned, which has hindered
the management of the company and affected the result for
the first quarter.
Compared to the first quarter of 2004, the company’s cash
flow from operating activities has improved by EEK 4.3
million (€0.3 million).
As of 31 March 2005, 456 employees worked for the Group
(499 employees as of 31 March 2004).
Profit analysis
Operating profit for the first quarter of 2005 before
depreciation of fixed assets amounted to EEK 2.6 million
(€0.2 million).
Balance Sheet and ratios
The consolidated Balance Sheet total of AS Klementi was
EEK 101.8 million (€6.5 million) as of 31 March 2005. The
Balance Sheet total has decreased by EEK 4.0 million
(€0.3 million) since the beginning of the year.
Trade receivables have increased by EEK 6.0 million (€0.4
million) when compared to the end of the year due to the
sale of spring season products to wholesale customers.
Compared to the end of the year, the balance of
inventories has decreased in the group by EEK 6.6 million
(€0.4 million) and amounted to EEK 21.6 million (€1.4
million) as of 31 March 2005. Accounts payable have

end of the first quarter of 2005. Total debts decreased
by EEK 1.7 million (€0.1 million) over the first quarter
