LETTER FROM GENERAL MANAGER
Dear shareholders, business partners and employees! Yet another successful business year is behind us. Constant adaptation to changes and the
ability to listen to the needs of our clients marked the year of 2007. In past years Cetis made some
determined steps and developed into a technologically advanced and service-oriented company. Modern information society dictates the production of advanced and smart products where only
graphic mind-set is insufficient. Again and again every year the decision to combine information and graphic technologies proves correct.
In 2007, the sales increased by 5.3% compared to the previous year. The highest growth of sales was achieved in the markets outside the European Union, namely by 17.2%. At the level of costs, the
absolute and relative value, material costs and labour costs are the most outstanding. In the structure of sales, material costs represent 33.5% and labour costs 30.7%. Both types of costs are considerably
higher when compared to the previous year due to the beginning of two major projects whose realisation will only result in 2008.
Despite substantially higher costs the operating loss is lower than a year before, namely by 15%, and the result before taxation is positive mainly thanks to the financial part of operations and is almost 37
percent higher than in 2006.
Last year Cetis signed a contract on the production of biometric passports, visas, software and the
provision of consultancy services with a value of EUR 10 million that significantly contributed to the business goal achievement. The realization of the project already started in 2007 whereas its majority
will be implemented in 2008 and partly in 2009. An exceptional achievement was also the award of a contract on the issue of smart cards in the health care system.
Cetis was chosen in a public tender for the »Development and supply of health insurance cards and
the supply of applets, the establishment and implementation of card personalization« as a bidder that
completely met the tender conditions and criteria. The project that includes electric and graphic personalization of professional and health insurance cards and the establishment of an agency for
issuing digital certificates will be completed in 2008.
This was a year of growth. A significant part of the Cetis activities focused on further expansion on
the domestic and foreign markets.
The Company is a co-founder of a new lottery enterprise Nacional in Albania that started its operations at the end of 2007.
Cetis also became the majority owner of a smaller Slovene company Amba Co., d.o.o. This new partnership between two supplementing activities has contributed to a more comprehensive offer on
the market of flexible packaging.
We also became the owner of the Slovene company, KIG-KGA d.o.o., producing registration plates.
This was a year of changes. The Implementation of the strategic business plan designed by the
Company continued in 2007. In the process of forming a new strategy we redefined our vision and mission and enriched our values. Cetis is based on four strong pillars, four primary product groups:
documents, packaging, games of chance and corporate communication systems.
The pillar strategies have been prepared down to the smallest detail. In the field of documents we will
focus on the development of strategic partners and together with the development of integrated solutions we will search for potential public-private partnerships with public institutions. A
comprehensive offer to support democratic processes in small countries will be provided and in particular we will concentrate on the development of smart card technology.
6
With packaging the strategy envisages production modernisation and the integration of consumer views in the development cycle of products and services as well as the specialization in ecologically
friendly and special packaging.
Games of chance as the third pillar in our offer will aim at developing a global business model of the
organization of games of chance and new offers (services) combining games of chance and other pillars for the acceleration of sales and advertising.
Also the systems of corporate communications will have their own path striving for systematic development of solutions in direct marketing, the concentration of the development of new services
related to the pillar in the parent company, the transfer of tested models into print centres being newly established and the standardization of repeatable documents.
The common denominator of all product groups is mainly globalization.
In January 2007, Cetis set up a new information system. Due to the competition on the global market the Company had to rationalise its business processes and achieve high cost-effectiveness. It has
been more than a year since the Company was reorganized and the new information system started to function and it can be claimed that the introduction was more than successful. In the second half of
2006, the system was being introduced and on 1 January 2007 we shifted to the use of the new
information system with great success.
There is a year of challenges ahead of us. In the year ahead the already started projects will be completed and at the same time we will be faced with new challenges. On the domestic market there
will be a tender for a new driving licence, a vignette and a new identity card. This already demands a lot of efforts and what I have in mind is mainly extreme complexity of products and services required
by such tenders.
Also the global market is ahead. We want to gain two major projects outside Slovenia and we believe
we will succeed. Our goals for future have been set ambitiously but they are realistic and manageable.
In plans for 2008 we envisaged sales growth of more than 29% and slower growth of costs. A positive
result is planned amounting to EUR 1.8 million.
We are consistent in following our vision, which is ensuring secure information management and in doing so we stress the five values of Cetis: favour of challenges, professionalism, team work,
multidisciplinarity and innovation. With all the values listed and the mission we persistently implement
our vision to become a global integrator of information.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GRAPHIC BRANCH
Competitiveness of the European Graphic Industry1 The European printing industry is facing both structural challenges and increasing competition
challenges. New providers from Eastern and Central Europe and China forced European printers to redefine their market positions by integrating more services in their product portfolio and building a
closer relationship with their clients.
Data base management, on-demand printing2, personalization of products and services are only some
additional services that enable additional positioning of graphic companies on the market. In addition to the use of information technology, constant development of flexible and multi-purpose products will
grant the graphic industry a more reliable market position. Despite new technologies and media,
printed documents will still be an important link in information activities but will need to take into account the economy of scale and globalization. However, the operations of printing companies have
to be adapted in order to be able to face new conditions in competition.
Facts and figures of the European printing industry: 130,000 printing companies employ over 820,000 people and have a turnover of almost EUR
100 billion.
Seven countries (Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain) account for more than 80% of the overall Union turnover.
These are mainly small companies, 85% of them employ less than 20 persons. Some new EU member states (Poland, Czech Republic) disclose very rapid growth and acquire
new market positions.
Opportunities:
Several differentiation strategies are possible according to size or activities of companies: proximity or niche-markets for small and medium-sized companies, international development and
integration of big companies “Service orientation” is a growing trend, allowing printers and their partners to satisfy the
expectations from customers
Ensuring successful integration of classical printing industry in the global communication system
Threats: Growing presence of third country suppliers in the EU market
intense price war and a lack of qualitative differentiation
The printing industry is relatively disconnected from research and development, which can jeopardize structural innovation
Deployment of new technologies coming from the major suppliers could accelerate the transformation of the printing business.
In principle, the graphic industry is focused on products delivered on orders on the basis of yearly and multi-yearly orders in the case of printing security printed matter, identification documents, and
specialized products in the field of packaging. Smaller providers mainly satisfy local needs and only

exceptionally they operate cross-border whereas bigger or highly specialized providers enter demanding foreign markets. The same applies to Slovenia that with the entry to the European Union
on the one hand opened possibilities of export and on the other hand Slovenia opened the door to
competitive graphic producers with high value added. Being a successful player does not mean one needs to follow the changes and novelties but to co-create them.
We have been living in information era and therefore timely and precise information is the most
important factor impacting the change and at the same time ensuring constant development.

SALES BY CETIS, d.d.
In 2007, net sales revenues totalled EUR 28.4 million, which was EUR 1.5 million more than a year before. Most of the revenue was generated by selling products and services on the domestic market,
namely a bit more than EUR 22 million. Compared to 2006, the sales on the domestic market increased by 15% and exceeded the plan by 12%. On foreign markets the sales reached
approximately EUR 7 million. In total sales this represents 24%. The majority of the revenue abroad
was generated on the following markets: Croatia, Germany, Poland, Sudan, Austria and elsewhere.
Every year the Company assesses its customers on the basis of the following criteria: repeatability of
orders, turnover value, high standards, solvency and potential common path of development. According to these criteria customers are classified into the key customers, A customers, B and C
customers. Whereas the key customers are of extreme importance to Cetis, the customers in class C
only represent one transaction of low value. In 2007, the Company had 64 key and A customers that together created sales equalling 69% of total sales.

and the sales of basic material rose by approximately 43%. The sales of photo bags increased by 18.7% and of merchandise by 14.8%. The sales of printed matter for direct mail, non-adhesive labels
and forms as well as promotional printed matter and self-adhesive labels dropped.

Sales of commercial printed matter
The sales of commercial printed matter represent 60% of Cetis' sales. The Company sells its products
and services in 15 European countries and Slovenia represents the biggest sales share. The sales of commercial printed matter can be divided into six product groups: forms, mailers, self-adhesive labels,
flexible packaging, non-self-adhesive labels and photo bags. As for the value, the biggest one in
19
commercial printed matter is achieved by the sales of forms. Sales plans on the domestic market were exceeded by 16%.
In Slovenia in 2007, mainly the sales of integrated forms with cards and self-adhesive labels went up. A trend of growth was recorded also in the field of mailing where the Company succeeded in
achieving the goals set. Sales activities were aiming at the offer of promotional commercial mailings wrapped up in printed foil. With self-adhesive and non-self-adhesive labels the Company started new
projects in the field of drinks. It is important that with its knowledge and capacities Cetis is close to
European producers. In 2007, the Company experienced the most substantial growth in flexible packaging. For a client, the Company carried out a shift from paper labels to polypropylene wrapping
labels based on a project approach.
Strategic marketing development of commercial printed matter sales focuses mainly on promotional direct mail. With new solutions Cetis has been trying to enter Eastern European countries.
In the field of self-adhesive labels the Company is closely cooperating with strategic suppliers in
developing self-adhesive materials for no-label look labels. Its own development supplements the offer with booklets. (Note: A booklet is a self-adhesive label with an integrated leaflet.)
Sales of security printed matter
The sales of security printed matter in 2007 rose by 46.6% compared to the previous year and in the
Cetis Company it represented a 40-percent share of sales (in 2006, this share amounted to 30%). Cetis exports security printed matter to 12 countries in Europe and Africa. The biggest share of
security printed matter sales can be allocated to Slovenia.
The sales of security printed matter consist of three major product groups: identity documents, cards
and lottery games.
With identity documents the Company exceeded its sales plan by 33%, namely by producing and
personalizing Slovene biometric travel documents, identity cards, by producing visas, driving licences, certificates of registration and extracts from registers. The Company successfully continued issuing
Slovene biometric passports; the project was started by upgrading the issuing system and implementing additional data in the memory chips – finger prints. The Company signed an important
contract to produce biometric travel documents for an African country and this considerably contributed to the achievement of business goals.
This year the Company successfully completed two projects in the field of elections – in Slovenia and Kosovo.
Growth trend was also recorded with the production of cards, mainly with EMV chip personalization of
bank cards. In 2007, the Company completed the personalization of bank cards for the biggest
Slovene bank. The issue of European digital tachograph cards continued effectively. This is the project Cetis is very proud of since it established the Company as a system integrator between the European
and Slovene systems of data verification and the issue of tachograph cards. Cetis was also chosen in a public tender for issuing new health insurance cards. The Company will implement the project
together with the biggest European system integrator of smart cards.
With the product group of games of chance the Company satisfies the needs of customers for
instant/quick lottery tickets, tombola tickets, lottery sheets and commercial games of chance. With an affiliated company, SNLS, in Gabon in Central Africa, Cetis continued the organization of games of
chance and the first financial year was completed by winning a concession for ten years.
Strategic marketing development of security printed matter sales is globally oriented and in particular
directed to foreign markets in Africa and Asia. This orientation is dominant with identification documents.
20
The Cetisecurity brand name was presented at bigger European and global congresses of security printed matter, of which the congress on the French Riviera in Nice was the most important. The
Company successfully presented itself at an international fair of smart cards »Cartes 2007« in Paris.
Special attention is placed on the expansion of marketing games of chance and in this segment the
Company operates on a broader European market.

Note: In 2006, the parent company disinvested the assets in Macedonia and in 2007 it became the majority owner of Amba.
Cetis-ZG, d.o.o.
The year of 2007 was the most successful for Cetis Zg since it was established in 1991. The investment and acquisition of Bipost in 2005 have proven to be sound business decisions already
bearing fruit for the third year. In 2007, the growth of income increased by 41% in comparison with
the previous year. The revenues reached EUR 6.9 million in 2007. Profit after taxation amounted to EUR 216,519 and depreciation equalled EUR 426,166. Whereas the sales in trade decrease, hybrid
mail sales rapidly increase.
Systematic market analyses, satisfying permanent customers that have turned into real partners and
the motivation of the employees together with the business idea have become the base of a leading hybrid mail centre in Croatia and sound foundations of the company that some years ago still fought
for its existence.
22
At the beginning of the year, the Company started with the implementation of a contract concluded with Optima Telekom that is a distributor of fixed telephony in Croatia. The year of 2007 was also
marked by a deal with Zagrebačka Banka. Despite increased scope of work the number of employees
reduced from 24 to 22. Revenue per employee exceeded EUR 300,000 annually, which is extraordinary and comparable European ratio.
Cetis Print d.o.o.
In September 2007, Cetis Print, d.o.o. Beograd was registered in Serbia. The majority owner is Cetis-ZG. The company Cetis Print, d.o.o. is in a phase of establishing. Subscribed capital has not been paid
up fully. Therefore, in 2007 this company is not included in the consolidated balance sheet. The
revenue of the company in 2007 totalled EUR 26,486.
The core business of the company is printing and enveloping and the services of printing invoices and mailings. Cetis d.d. markets its products such as forms, bank cards and labels in Serbia through Cetis
Print. The vision of Cetis Print is to become one of the leading mailing centres in Serbia in a relatively
short period of time.
Amba Co. d.o.o.
Amby Co. D.o.o. was established in 1992 and joined Cetis in 2007. The purpose of acquisition was to
provide a more comprehensive offer on the market of flexible packaging. The basic and only activity of the company is the manufacture of complex flexible packaging and the provision of advisory
services in this field. The company currently employs 40 people and covers the markets in Western
and Central Europe. Approximately 55% of products are exported to Austria, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In January 2008, the
registered office of the company moved from Ljubljana to Celje, Čopova 24. In 2008, the company plans to disinvest business unnecessary assets. In 2009 the company will move to Celje to the existing
location of Cetis. The R&D activities in 2007 mainly focused on the preparation and coordination of the development strategy to be in compliance with the orientations of the parent company and on the
expansion of the product portfolio to food and non-food industry.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Financial management
Also in 2007 the Company mostly achieved and even exceeded its objectives financially. The financial situation of the company was assessed by breaking down and analyzing the past, current and planned
cash flows. The company took into consideration the following general principles and financial
management rules:
- Coherence of the size, the structure and the trends in assets, as well as liabilities; - Sustainability of operation with the provision of rational financing, the limitation of financial
risks and optimal solvency with appropriate financing economics;
- Achievement of favourable business results with operation-derived net cash flow; - The possibility of increasing financial strength through property and assets.
23
To the greatest extent possible the Company maintained the abovementioned principles despite negative operating result. The Company financed the current operations mainly with its own facilities
and resources. These were acquired by adjusting the investment policy and selling the no longer
necessary financial investments.
The emphasis of the financial analysis was given to the financial and the capital structure, as well as to the assessment and maintenance of creditworthiness of the Company. By determining the assets
unnecessary for operations and by dynamic cash flow planning, the Company secured the resources
and guarantees for strategically important and other investments.
As regards financing, the 2007 business year was a very dynamic one for the Company and it dictated a quick adjustment to the newly created conditions on financial markets. In the financial field, certain
decisions were taken regarding financing of investments in the given circumstances. These decisions contributed to the overall business result. Thus the two basic financial goals - ensuring solvency of the
Company and financing economics with controlled financial risks – were considered.
Due to the nature of operations in 2007, the capital and debt ratio changed to 60.9 : 39.1, which is
less favourable than in 2006 despite positive operating results. However, this ratio is a consequence of more aggressive financing, in which the company maintained term-based balancing of assets and
resources.
At the end of 2007, fixed assets were financed in entirety with capital and external long-term
resources. In the financing structure, which is still relatively balanced, financial measures for appropriate financial correction had to be implemented that resulted in adequate financial correction.
These measures and their effectiveness are based mainly on successful operations. In 2007, the Company was not as successful in the management of operating receivables as it was in 2006 since
the share of recovered receivables was lower and the balance of receivables higher than in the
previous year. Furthermore, the Company was less efficient in stock management as they increased in both structure and absolute value. However, the fact remains that the result of financing, regardless
additional borrowing in 2007, remained positive and had a favourable effect on the operations of the Company.
The Company is aware that, due to the lower level of self-financing, regular operations of the Company has to reach positive results in order not to put long-term loan repayment at risk (the
company is currently regularly repaying its long-term debts). The financial risks and exposure are described in the accounting report herein.

Compared to values in 2006, investments in tangible fixed assets in 2007 increased substantially.
Technological modernisation and the expansion of certain capacities remain the key conditions for the
existence, growth and improved competitiveness in all areas of the Company’s activities. In 2007, the most substantial investments were the purchase of two printing machines, a robot and the
arrangement of air conditioning in the production areas whereas a relatively limited volume of funds was invested in intangible fixed assets.
24
In this and the following years, the Company will increase its investments into the market, and in
advanced technology and knowledge. The key purpose is to ensure higher productivity, responsiveness, specialisation and reliability of business processes and, consequently, lower costs.

The gross added value was significantly higher in 2007 compared to 2006. In 2007 and in future, the
Company has planned to lower costs and intensify investments in marketing on the domestic market
and international markets, where the Company will act through subsidiaries and affiliated companies abroad. One of such companies was registered in Albania at the end of 2007 and started its
operations in Albania marketing games of chance.
The Company expects these investments will improve its efficiency and returns with a secured long-term liquidity. According to the needs and the objectives of the strategy, the Company will also invest
in tangible and other fixed assets and continue disinvestment of unnecessary investments.

Movement of CETG share price in 2007 in EUR
The uniform price of a CETG share on a regulated market of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange did not
experience any strong fluctuations in 2007. In first months of the year the price dropped to approximately EUR 80 whereas in the middle of the year it even exceeded EUR 120 and in last months
of 2007 it dropped again to EUR 90. In comparison with the SBI20 index, it can be concluded that the movement of the CETG share market price in 2007 retrograded, as the SBI20 index rose and this can
also be observed in the graph.

Dividend policy The management of the Company has established that in 2007 a positive but not planned result that would allow for payment of minimal dividends, which was promised in the last annual report, was
reached. However, the management estimates that the Company needs the profit made for further
operations and will therefore not propose the distribution of the profit for appropriation.
27
The management plans to continue pursuing the long-term development and investment objectives
and seeking new opportunities to maximize the Company assets and profits, and achieving the expectations and interests of the shareholders. If the Company achieves the profit planned for 2008,
the management of the Company shall, taking into consideration all other relevant factors, propose allocation of the appropriate part of 2007 net profit to dividends.
PURCHASING AND LOGISTICS
Strategic purchasing of Cetis
By strengthening partnerships with suppliers we are building our long-term stability in supply and reducing risks pertaining to purchasing. Constant development of purchasing together with the
suppliers promotes innovation and partnership and on the basis of long-term business relations we are able to achieve the goals set. The global objectives of purchasing are to provide material of adequate
quality at the right price and timely according to the needs of the customer and the production process. We aim at the introduction of modern logistic concepts and mutual operations with suppliers.
Global objectives of purchasing are:
- Introduction of the systems of supply following the win-win concept where the client and the supplier cooperate in order to improve conditions on both sides;
- Introduction of modern logistic concepts of work (internal, external);
- Establishment of an advanced system of evaluation of suppliers; - Adoption of adequate documentation support for the key functions of purchasing and logistics
– general reduction of purchasing costs; - Definition of strategic suppliers and general reduction of the number of suppliers.
Increasingly faster and more dynamic changes in marketing and development require from Cetis and its purchasing strong globalization of purchasing sources and intensive development of suppliers
respectively.
Report on the dynamics of raw material prices in 2007
Last year was marked by strong trends of increasing the price of basic papers. The Company was
relatively successful in resisting these market trends. The task of searching for the possibility of purchasing cost has been continuous also in 2008. Purchasing material costs could be reduced by
approximately EUR 73,151 by adequate purchase of self-copy and self-adhesive paper, redirected
purchase of OCR paper and partly cardboard (this is not possible with the cardboard used in pharmaceutical industry where the supplier is authorised), paper used for photo bags, thermal paper
and palettes. The purchasing service is aware of the fact that its basic task is to provide material of adequate quality at the right price and timely.

Orders and receiving
year 2005 2006 2007
Total number of orders 5,371 5,006 5,003
Total number of receipts 5,864 5,833 19,043 Purchasing value in EUR 10,070,000 10,491,000 11,599,800
Conclusions: Total number of orders remained the same throughout the years whereas the number of receipts last year more than tripled due to the new information system. Through this system not
only materials are received but also services are purchased (repairs of tools, order of printing blocks and other printing elements, print, plastification, additional treatment and binding of printed matter
and other prepress-personalization services with contractors) that were not covered in purchasing in
previous years. Thus the value of purchasing rose by 9%. The quantity of purchased material has been dropping and this is why also their structure changes, which causes the increase in total value.
In the programme of documents the Company purchases more materials of higher value.
Relations with suppliers
The construction of a comprehensive system of purchase management is based on a transfer of the
requirements of the Cetis’ customers to suppliers. The suppliers regularly inform the Company of the novelties in their production programmes and market trends. With their knowledge and experience
they thus contribute to the introduction of new products and technologies.
Assessment of suppliers
The assessment of suppliers is an important and constant process and implies planned collection of information to select new suppliers and control the existing ones. It ensures continuous quality of a
supplier in a long run if it is interested in eliminating errors. The assessment of suppliers produces a
list of approved and potential suppliers. This assessment is carried out once a year following the criteria: price, payment conditions, claims, warnings, the ISO 9001 system, dealing with claims,
delivery period, payment period, service-development trends, the ISO 14001 system, cooperation – ecology. Based on these criteria, the suppliers are classified into three groups: A – a reliable supplier,
B – an acceptable supplier, C – a conditional supplier.
Year/share of suppliers in individual groups in % A B C 2005 31 57 4
2006 31 83 6
2007 23 76 1
Conclusions: Last year the Company intensified the criteria and this is why the number of suppliers in group A reduced. Although the cooperation is good, the expectations are getting higher every year
and the suppliers are expected to follow these requirements.
Satisfaction of suppliers
Partnerships are built by taking into consideration the requirements of the customer and the remarks
of the supplier. To build good business cooperation and to eliminate errors that are disturbing to our suppliers a short questionnaire was prepared. With the analysis of these questionnaires we obtained
information on their satisfaction when working with us. Thus we can identify spots where work process can be improved and we can see what else suppliers can be offered to meet our requirements
with satisfaction.

Report on expected movement of prices of raw materials for 2008
Information on the development of prices of basic raw materials that were obtained from the main
suppliers announces increasing prices of almost all basic materials. The reasons for these movements are higher prices of energy, cellulose and transport. Because of rather not optimistic forecasts, the
purchasing service will make a lot of efforts to ensure the optimal quality and quantity of materials at the right prices and timely.
Storage-transport service
The main task – automation of warehousing is continued in 2008 because a year is a too short period
for the introduction of such a complex process in particular because at the same time the new
information system was being introduced. The Company expects the automation to enable advanced warehousing functions such as the use of bar code, monitoring of purchase and stocks by individual
materials (with the definition of the date – for example the date of maturity), monitoring individual materials according to deliveries, setting notifications when minimal stocks have been reached, the
prevention of dispatching when stocks are inexistent, control over all storage places at the same time, the overview of stocks. It will be easier to follow the history of stock movement.
Transport costs in 2007
Costs for the affiliated company 15,247.08 EUR
Costs of transport of material 66,171.83 EUR Costs of transport services in Slovenia 160,765.08 EUR
Costs of transport services related to export 200,334.99 EUR Total transport costs 442,518.98 EUR+VAT
Six contractors conducted transport services amounting to EUR 315,689 and the transport services by other six contractors totalled EUR 164,593. The most frequent transports (80%) were to Germany.
The costs of postal services in 2007 equalled EUR 22,000.
PRODUCTION
The beginning of 2007 was characterized by a shift to a new information system and its use. Most companies introduce the entire system in two or three phases or in years. But Cetis mastered the
basic central system and central production planning which is extremely important to production as well as automated data capture on most machines in only half a year.
Essential organizational changes reflected in the paint division the purpose of which was central management of paints (recipes, mixing, stocks, work with suppliers etc.) and the process
management division where central production planning was added strong programme support.
The Company only neared the 2007 goals but did not achieve them entirely. In particular in the field of costs the gap between the achieved result and the planned one was the most significant. The
Company did not manage to reduce the costs due to the sales. Labour costs are the most outstanding
because due to two major projects the Company had to employ additional labour force but the beginning of the implementation and/or the completion of works postponed to 2008. The use of more
material was the consequence of the use above the norm as well as changed product structure with the materials of higher value and the initiation of works on bigger projects that have not yet resulted
in sales.
30
In line with the sales plans the Company modernized the division of card production in the first half of the year. The production area was expanded, the equipment modernized and the available capacity
increased while the staff remained unchanged.
With flexible packaging the Company continued with the development of print preparation and
increased the production capacity. This as a result increased realization by approximately 39% and with such growth the most considerable challenge was to train suitable personnel in a relatively short
period of time.
In the second half of the year the “Sudan passport” project was successfully started. This is the
biggest and most demanding project in 2007/2008. For this purpose the Company increased its capacities of offset print. In the process of passport manufacture the first robotized manufacturing cell
was introduced that entirely replaced manual work and at the same time increased the capacity and ensured a stable and controlled process of joining polycarbonate with paper.
At the end of the year the Company outsourced its maintenance in order to be able to focus on the core activities more. The entire service of maintenance that covers the preventive and curative
activities and engineering was entrusted to Tero d.o.o. Thus maintenance was transferred to an external provider with whom a long-term contract had been concluded and the staff had been
transferred and the rental of premises and working facilities was organized and stocks were sold. The
expected effects are mainly due to the availability of working facilities, optimal management of the stocks of spare parts and changed ratio between preventive and curative activities.
Plans for 2008:
Major projects: - Successful completion of the »Sudan passport« project
- Transition of all Slovene banks to EMV cards - Removal of the Amba Company to a location in Celje
In accordance with the strategy of process organization in the Company, lean production was
introduced into four pillars with the objectives: - Ensuring smooth and undisturbed production and constant productivity improvement
- Identifying possibilities of improvements and defining activities for improvements - Promoting culture of continuous improvement among the employees in the production.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Strategic development
To Cetis the year of 2007 means a beginning of accelerated entry to new markets, which was the
result of a strategic orientation of the Company and the cognition that the Company’s growth is only possible by breaking through to foreign markets.
Main activities were directed in the following projects:
1. SNLS Gabon, a company organizing games of chance in Gabon, has been in operation for the second year and to Cetis’ Programme of organizing games of chance this was a pioneering
project. Due to the distance, cultural differences and lack of experience in this field this was a
particularly demanding challenge that has not brought results yet. In 2007, special attention was paid to strengthen the management of the SNLS Company and the sales network in
Gabon. These activities had a positive impact on the company’s operations but were
31
insufficient to achieve the results expected. To achieve them Cetis has been looking for a strategic partner with additional material and personnel investment in the company.
2. The establishment of a company for the organization of games of chance »Nacional« in Tirana, Albania, where Cetis is an important shareholder means an expansion of this kind of
programme to the Balkans. The Nacional Company started its operations at the end of 2007. In the implementation of this project, the Company used the experience gained so far and it
needs to be emphasized that results are much better and already in 2008 a positive result can
be anticipated. The company had a well developed sales network in the entire territory of Albania. Planned revenues of the Nacional Company for 2008 amount to EUR 5 million. For
2008/09 the expansion of concession is planned so that in addition to Bingo also other games of chance will be added.
3. Last year Cetis Tirana, Cetis’ marketing company in Albania, operated in line with the
expectations. In 2008, the company will employ more people and the scope of sales will
increase in the Republic of Albania. The sales planned for 2008 will total EUR 300,000. The goal of Cetis is to train Cetis Tirana professionally to be able to market more demanding
projects that Cetis can offer and to represent Slovene companies in Albania.
4. In 2007, the Company started to implement projects of travel documents for Sudan. In
addition to the manufacture of passports and visas within this project Cetis provides the local partner with professional assistance in setting up their own production to manufacture travel
documents as well as in expanding the operations to other fields since Sudan is an opportunity and there is also interest to establish the Cetis programme.
In 2008, the Company will direct its efforts to the following strategic areas:
1. Looking for connections with the companies and institutions that have modern technology and knowledge relevant to our operations planned within the four pillars;
2. Looking for opportunities and partners to open new companies for the organization of games of chance and other programmes, in particular in the Balkans;
3. Expanding the sales network through local partners to tackle the most demanding projects
(documents, personalization) in the African-Asian area.

Development and research in graphic technology
Cetis’ development activities are focused on new products and services and the improvement of quality and functionality of the existing ones. Development needs are mainly directed by the
requirements of customers, legislation and environmental regulations and the rapid changes of business environment that are reflected in more active competition.
In 2007, research and development of graphic technology (hereinafter: R&D GT) adhered to the orientations of the four basic fields of the operations of the Company:
In the field of games of chance the R&D GT division intensified development activities to improve the
technology of scratch-off coating with printed matter for games of chance. R&D GT generated more new games, prepared sample tickets and technical-promotional leaflets for each individual game. The
project of developing a finishing machine to control and package printed matter used for games of
chance that the division is carrying out on the basis of their own concept with a business partner from abroad is one of the foundations for efficient production process and entry to foreign markets.
In the preparation of the project documentation for the Sudan project, the entire R&D GT team
cooperated whereas the project implementation and control (passports, visas, residential permits,
consulting in setting up the production) is run by a member of the R&D GT division.
R&D GT supplemented the card group with cards manufactured with new materials with better applicable characteristics and lower costs of input materials.
The development activities in the field of packaging concentrated on after-sales activities, mainly consultancy and solving problems related to the implementation of new types of wrapping labels.
Within corporate communication systems in 2007 Cetis developed new forms of printed matter for
direct mail, envelopes on the basis of non-paper materials etc.
With the introduction of the new information system in 2007 graphic R&D was still active in the
standardization of a business process.
According to the reorganization of development activities and a lack of professional staff in the field of development, the R&D GT division was in particular active in applicative development and support to
sales activities.
Plans for future
Continuation of intensive development of games of chance simultaneously with the development of the printing procedure and upgrading games of chance,
Following the development of smart packaging and materials,
Continuation of the development of protective elements on documents, cooperation in the preparation of bids and participation in major projects,
In the field of corporate communication systems, R&R GT will be developing new products for direct mail,
According to the newly adopted strategy of the Cetis Company, R&D GT will define
development activities for the period 2008-2012.

Cetis New Technologies
The CeNT Research and Development Division (hereinafter: CeNT R&R) is responsible for the research and development of innovative solutions in information technology that are closely connected with the
core activity of Cetis, which is the graphic activity.
In 2007, CeNT R&D completed the following important projects:
- SiZID.BIO whose contracting authority was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; CeNT R&D developed a
system for capturing ten finger prints and their control; it prepared the instalment version and handed
it over to the client.
- SiZID.DP whose contracting authority was the Ministry of Interior; to satisfy the needs for issuing
residential permits CeNT R&D developed a special module to capture photographs from a scanner and
implemented a solution than is now applied in administrative units. While developing it, a link was
necessary with the new Aliens Register where the data are sent.
- A system for issuing visas and residential permits for the client from Sudan. A national information
system was developed for issuing visas and residential permits. The system functions independently at
individual embassies and after establishing a connection the data are synchronized to the central
server. Modules that were developed: data capture, photograph capture with a camera, photograph
capture with an optical reader, document capture, capture of ten finger prints and the capture of a
signature from the signature plate.
In the field of card systems CeNT R&D successfully completed the NLB-XLS project with the mass re-
issue of cards. In the same period everything necessary to start issuing EMV cards for most Slovene
banks was prepared.
Exceptional achievement in 2007 was the deal for issuing smart cards in the health care system. Cetis
was selected in a public tender »Development and supply of health insurance cards and the supply of
applets, the establishment and implementation of card personalization« as a bidder satisfying all the
tender conditions and criteria. The project that combines electric and graphic personalization of
professional cards (PC) and health insurance cards (HIC) and the establishment of an agency for
issuing digital certificates will be completed in 2008.
There were several projects implemented by Cent R&D in document digitalization. The capture and
processing of forms for bigger Slovene companies should be mentioned. The Group also developed
and installed the software for document management in several bigger companies.
In 2007, CeNT R&D tested a possibility of outsourcing certain IT solutions and thus came to solution –
the CeTacho application that enables data transfer, storage, search and archiving from tachograph
cards and devices.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Quality and constant improvements are the fundamental aims in all fields of Cetis operations. These aims are a part of all key processes in the company.
In management systems Cetis relies on the following standards:
ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System.
ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.
OHSAS 18001 Occupational safety and health
Standard of Visa/Mastercard for ensuring physical and logical safety
CQM – (Card Quality Management) Mastercard standard ensuring the quality of bank cards
ISO 27001 – Information Security system
Quality assurance of biometric travel documents according to ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC17/WG3/TF4 – ICAO 9303 standard
The common denominator of all management systems is constant improvement of processes. The
driving force of improvement is the commitment of Cetis to standards. According to the changing working environment, the Company endeavours to adapt its key processes. They are modernized with
the aim of achieving better performance and efficiency in various processes.
The management systems are constantly verified with internal assessments and assessments
conducted by authorized institutions, the assessments of suppliers and customers.
This year Cetis is focused on the establishment of an integrated management system that will be carried out with the assistance of the PAS 99 standard. Thus all the standards representing the base
of activities will be integrated.
EMPLOYEES
Characteristics of 2007 The year of 2007 was marked by the reorganization that followed the introduction of the new
information system. At the beginning of the year all employees received new employment contracts in compliance with the Employment Relationship Act. During the year most activities were focused on
the selection of new employees for the sales, card production and the production of security printed
matter. The Human Resources Management Department (hereinafter: HRM) started to work on the renewal of the HRM information system in order to set up comprehensive indicators of human
resources management and their automatic monitoring. The Company started to invest in education more systematically so that gradually the measurement of investment effects will be in place – ROI in
education. According to 2006, the educational index was 94.28.

Conclusions: As for new employments, the year of 2007 was extremely dynamic. Due to huge
demand for new identity documents the Company had to strengthen the teams in the “Cards”
production unit. In the PTV production unit 14 new workers were employed due to increased scope of work related to Sudan passports. At the end of last year the scope reduced and thus the fluctuation
rate was relatively high, namely 13.66. There were 86 newly employed whereas 69 left the Company. This can be observed in the table below.

Conclusions: In 2007, there were many new employees and at the end of the year there were 436 employees, the average age decreased since quite a number of young people got employment in the
production. The number of temporarily employed workers rose because there were more jobs of temporary character. Thus fluctuation was higher. The share of female employees in the management
structure already amounted to 44.73%, which shows that women in Cetis can enjoy equal
opportunities of promotion and career.

to 3.57% whereas the absence due to longer period of sickness leave slightly went up – from 2.20%
to 2.48%. The Company regularly monitors sickness leave and has special interviews with those who are on sickness leave for longer periods. For a certain number of employees a proposal was made to
Pension and Disability Insurance Institute of the Republic of Slovenia to establish the possibility of retirement on the basis of disability.
39
Safety and health at work In 2007, all regular health and safety at work activities were carried out in compliance with the
Occupational Health and Safety Act (Official Journal of the RS, No 56/99), in particular: - theoretical training of employees regarding safety at work and fire safety (80 participating
employees), - practical training of employees regarding safety at work and fire safety (40 participating
employees),
- preventive medical examinations for employees - 200 employees, - selection, purchase and implementation of working equipment and technologies complying with
EC norms and fulfilling all requirements of the local legislation of the RS (declaration of conformity, noise levels, mechanical dangers, environmental protection, etc.),
- periodic inspections and tests of process equipment (acquisition of operating licenses
for 60 machines), - inspections and testing of fire fighting equipment (fire extinguishers, hydrants).
In order to permanently and in a long-run improve the health status of employees and their safety at
work the following is important:
- Regular monitoring of health status of the employees, timely diagnosis of occupational diseases,
preventive medical examinations and gradual introduction of target health examinations for certain groups of posts.
- Consultancy and cooperation of experts in safety at work (external provider with a permit to work) whenever selecting, purchasing and introducing new working equipment and new technological
procedures in the company.

III. RESPONSIBILITY TO SOCIAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
RESPONSIBILITY TO NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A responsible attitude towards the natural environment is one of the conditions for healthy working
environment. Our company is aware of this and therefore we observe strict environmental guidelines
defined in the environmental policy. Cetis is not a heavy polluter of the environment. Nevertheless, we have been working actively on minimising the effects of our activities on the natural environment –
from raising environmental awareness and education of our employees, to considering the environmental aspect when acquiring new technologies.
Implementation of environmental goals and programmes in 2007
- The largest environmental project so far – construction of a modern warehouse for hazardous substances and waste with optimal storage conditions – is fully utilized. With
this investment a risk of environmental accidents such as spillage of dangerous chemicals
and a fire has been significantly reduced. - Rearrangement of smaller warehouses for dangerous substances is ongoing and will
probably be completed in 2008. - In 2007, the Company did not succeed in achieving the set environmental goals
concerning the reduction of hazardous substance quantity since it increased by 17.7% but
was nevertheless considerably lower (by 27.6%) in comparison with the quantity in 2005. - In 2007, the quantity of municipal waste also slightly increased.
- The Company successfully completed the examination of the system management and satisfied the requirements for the ISO 14001:2004 certificate.
Plans for 2008
- Final arrangement and modernisation of a warehouse for hazardous substances and the
abolishment of all types of transfer of flammable and dangerous substances in the
Company,
- Acquisition of the environmental permit for the plants that cause emissions into water, - Reduction of the quantity of municipal waste by 10%,
- Reduction of the quantity of hazardous waste by 5%.
Long-term goals The intention to reduce the quantity of waste by 30% compared to 2003 remains a long-term goal of
Cetis (currently the Company has achieved a 20-percent reduction of total waste). The other such goal is to raise the environmental awareness of the employees.

Total 49025 46170 40709 25,035 29,456 +17.7%
Conclusions: Our efforts to reduce the quantities of hazardous waste have not been effective.
Compared to 2006, the quantities increased by approximately 18% whereas compared to 2005, the quantities are still lower by 28%. The most outstanding is the increase in the quantity of waste dyes
that went up by 31% or by more than 2 tonnes. The reasons for this situation are a new flexo printing machine, expanded production of flexible packaging and cleaning of unsaleable stocks.
Quantities of hazardous waste by individual years are illustrated in the following figure:
42
Krpe = Cloth Embalaža nevarnih snovi = Packaging of dangerous substances Barve = Dyes Lepila = Adhesives Tonerji = Toners Topila = Solvents Fiksirji = Fixers Razvijalci = Developers
Packaging
Cetis generates waste packaging not considered municipal waste and an insignificant share of
waste packaging from direct import. In Slovenia in 2007, the Company generated 117 tonnes of waste paper packaging and 8 tonnes of plastic packaging waste, 500 kilos of sheet metal
and 107 tonnes of wooden packaging including reusable wood palettes. In comparison with previous years the data for 2007 are more precise due to the introduction of a new
information system.
The Company’s waste does not burden the environment as it is remitted for treatment to the
Slopak Company in accordance with the legislation.
Emissions to air
The advanced technological equipment and the Company’s dedication to the use of non hazardous process materials result in minimum air emissions. Heating is based on natural gas, which is considered to be an environmentally friendly form of heating.

Conclusions: Water consumption in the Company is lower than in 2006 and is additionally decreased
by 3%, and if this is compared to 2003, water consumption has reduced by 61%. When the obsolete technology was replaced by modern CTP, the effects of the BAT technology in the prepress
department were, in accordance with the expectations, obvious also in lower water consumption (use
of water has been excluded from the offset plate developing procedure).
Preventive and corrective measures In 2007, the Company did not introduce any significant preventive or corrective measures. In most cases the reason was inconsistent separation of waste and inaccessibility of fire extinguishers. The
preventive and corrective measures in Cetis are issued by the person authorised to deal with
environmental issues. In most cases preventive measures are usually provided orally or via e-mail.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Presentation of the Company
Registered office and legal form, country
Cetis, Graphic and Documentation Services, d.d. is a company with its registered office at Čopova 24,
Celje, Slovenia. The Company was entered in the Companies Register with the District Court Celje on
13 February 1996 under the entry No 95/00923 and on 25 November 2003 under the entry No 1/01476/00.
The share capital of the Company amounts to EUR 30,989 thousand 8.93 and is divided into 200,000 ordinary, no-par value registered shares issued as dematerialised securities and kept with the Central
Securities Clearing Corporation (KDD) in Ljubljana. The Cetis shares (designated as CETG) are traded on the free market of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.
Nature of operations and relevant activities
The Company’s core business is the provision of comprehensive solutions in the field of communications through printed and other types of media. The corporate Vision of the Company is to
be a leading company on the Slovene market and to increase its share on the markets outside
Slovenia with adequate developmental, investment and marketing activities and the employment of the best qualified staff. The Company offers a programme of diversified printed matter, such as
security, variable and commercial printed matter, graphic design including accessory services, like personalisation of documents, the implementation and personalisation of micro chips or magnetic
tapes, archiving, identity management and consultancy, project management and other services.
Fact sheet of the parent company Cetis is a parent company and prepares also consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group comprises of the Cetis parent company, subsidiaries and associated companies.
2. Basis of the preparation of financial statements
a) Statement of compliance The 2007 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and
the interpretations by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRSIC), as adopted by the European Union.
The financial statements were approved by the Management Board on 7 March 2008.
b) Basis for measurement The 2007 financial statements have been prepared on the cost basis or the hypothetical cost basis except for the following items that are measured at fair value:
- financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
- available-for-sale financial assets.
The methods applied to measure fair value are described in the continuation.
53
c) Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR) and are rounded off to the nearest thousand.
d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) requires the Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions need to be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial
statements are described in the following notes:
Point 14 – utilisation of tax losses
Points 24 and 25 – provisions and contingencies
Point 27 – valuation of financial instruments.
3. Relevant accounting principles applied
The accounting policies stated below were consistently applied by the Company to all the periods
presented in the financial statements.
a) Foreign currency
Transactions expressed in foreign currency are translated into a suitable functional currency of the
company using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.
Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the date of the transaction and at the end of the accounting period, using the reference exchange rate
(ECB) of the Bank of Slovenia in EUR. Monetary assets and liabilities stated in foreign currency at the balance sheet date are translated into
functional currency at the applicable exchange rate. The foreign exchange gains or losses are the
differences between the amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted by the amount of effective interest and the payments effected during the accounting period,
as well as the amortised cost expressed in a foreign currency and translated at the middle exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary items and liabilities stated in foreign currency and
measured at fair value are converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate effective at the
date on which the fair value was set. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Income Statement.
54
b) Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments include investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and loans, and trade and other liabilities.
Initially, non-derivative instruments are recognised at fair value increased by costs that are directly
related to the transaction. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as explained below.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a
component of cash and cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statement.
Accounting of financial income and expenses is discussed in Point k) – Financial income and expenses.
Available-for-sale financial assets Investments of the Company in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value and the changes in fair
value with the exception of losses due to impairment are recognised directly in equity. When an
investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss An instrument is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or
loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their
fair value. Upon initial recognition, attributable transactions costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and a
change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Other Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less any impairment losses.
Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares represent an integral part of share capital.
Repurchase of own shares When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including
directly attributable costs and excluding potential tax effects, is recognised as a change in equity. Repurchased shares are classified as own shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity.
When selling own shares the amount received is recognized as the increase in equity whereas the loss in transaction is presented as a deduction from total equity.
c) Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are initially carried at historical cost reduced by straight-line
method depreciation and the loss due to impairment. As at the day of transition to IFRS the items of property, plant and equipment were carried at their purchase price on 1 January 2005.
Historical cost includes the costs that can be directly attributed to the purchase. The cost of an
55
item of property, plant or equipment that is a result of own production contains material costs, direct labour costs and other costs that can be directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working
condition for its intended use, in particular the cost of transport and mounting and the costs of
decomposition and removal off the location where it was used. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as a part of that equipment. The costs of
borrowing related to the purchase and production of the related assets are disclosed in profit and loss when incurred.
Parts of an item of property, plant and equipment with different useful lives are accounted for as separate items of tangible fixed assets.
Profit or loss from the disposal of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the income generated from the disposal of asset and the book value and is disclosed in profit
or loss among »other operating income«.
Subsequent costs in connection with property, plant and equipment
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the book
value of the asset if it is probable that future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its historical cost can be reliably measured. All other costs, such as day-to-day
servicing, are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation of assets is calculated individually following the straight-line method. Depreciation
charges on these assets are made individually. Land is not depreciated.
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated individually
following the straight-line method. All other costs, such as day-to-day servicing, are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation rates are based on estimated useful life of assets and amount to:
In years, min In years,
max
Buildings 7 40
Equipment – graphic activities 3 20
Laboratory equipment 3 10
Vehicles 5 8
Telephone sets, telegraphic switchboard 3 5
Furniture 5 6
Typewriters, computer equipment 3 8
Computer equipment for fire-safety 3 3
Measuring and control devices 4 6
Useful life is determined and examined in accordance with the Rules on Accounting and Finance.
The item Buildings includes parts, such as hydraulic bridge-over plate, with a 14.2% depreciation rate or useful life of 7 years.
Depreciation methods, useful life and the residual value are examined at the reporting date in
accordance with the Rules on Accounting and Finance.
56
d) Intangible assets
Research and development Expenditure on research activities aiming to achieve new scientific and professional knowledge and
understanding is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
The development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or essentially improved
products and processes. An expense for development is recognised if it can be reliably measured, if the product or process is technically and operationally feasible, if there is a potential for future
economic benefits, if the Company has adequate resources for the completion of development, and if it intends to use or sell such assets. The recognised expenditure comprises the cost of materials,
direct labour costs, and other costs which can be directly attributable to qualifying the asset for its intended use. The remaining expenditure is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is carried at historical cost less depreciation value adjustment and accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets Other intangible assets acquired by the Company with finite useful lives are disclosed at historic cost reduced by straight-line method depreciation and the loss due to impairment.
Subsequent costs Subsequent expenditure related to intangible fixed assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is
recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation of assets is calculated individually following the straight-line method. Depreciation charges on these assets are made individually. The assets acquired in the current year are subject to
depreciation when then may be put into use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Depreciation rates are based on the estimated useful life of the assets:
In years min In years max
Intangible assets 3 10
e) Subsidiaries and associates Investments of the Company in subsidiaries and associates are evaluated according to the method of historical cost.
The participation in profit is recognised when the Company has obtained the right to pay it out.
f) Inventories
Inventories are evaluated according to the original value or net realisable value, whichever is lower. The value of inventories is based on the First-In-First-Out method (FIFO) of inventory valuation and
includes purchasing price, costs of production and translation and other costs generated with the
storage of inventories to the current location and their current price. With finished products and unfinished products, production costs also contain an adequate share of indirect production costs.
Net realisable price is the estimated sales price to be achieved in ordinary operations and reduced by
the estimated cost of completion and the estimated sale costs.
57
g) Impairment of assets
Financial assets
On the date of reporting the Company assesses the value of financial assets in order to judge whether
there are any objective signs of the asset impairment. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if
objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated
future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the
difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale
financial asset is calculated at its current fair value.
Important financial assets are tested for impairment individually. The remaining financial assets are
assessed collectively in groups that have similar characteristics relating to the exposure to risks.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-
for-sale financial asset recognised previously directly in equity shall be transferred to profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be impartially related to a transaction occurring
after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets carried at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets, which are debt instruments, the reversal of impairment loss is recognised in
profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal can not be done directly in equity.
Non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Company assesses the residual book value of non-financial assets
excluding inventories and deferred tax liabilities in order to judge whether there are any objective signs of the asset impairment. If such an indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. For intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is its value or fair value, whichever is greater, reduced by sales costs. When determining the value of asset in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. To check
impairment, assets are put into groups that generate cash inflows from permanent use and these
assets are interdependent (»cash-generating units«).
Asset impairment or cash-generating unit impairment is recognized when its book value exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment is recognized in profit and loss. Loss that is recognized with a cash-
generating unit due to impairment is distributed to assets in a unit (groups of units) proportionate to
book values of individual assets in a unit.
In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each
reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss had been recognised.
h) Employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits
Net liability of the Company generated with regard to long-term benefits of the employees is the sum
58
of future benefits that the employees gained in return for their work carried out in the current and
previous periods. Thus calculated sum is discounted in order to determine the current value which is
then reduced by fair value of all related assets. Discount rate at the reporting date is the AA-rated
bond yield of which the due date is approximately the same as with the due date of the Company’s
liabilities. The calculation is based on planned relevance of the units. Potential actuarial profit or loss is
recognized in profit and loss in the period of its occurrence.
Short-term employee benefits Obligations for short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are
expensed as the related service is provided.
The liability is disclosed as an amount for which a payment in a form of a premium is expected that is due in twelve months after the period of work performance is completed or according to the
programme of profit division if the company is currently or indirectly obliged to make such payments due to the employee’s performance of work in the past and this liability can be reliably measured.
i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Warranties for products and services Provisions for warranties for products and services are recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a judgement of all potential
outcomes against their associated probabilities.
j) Revenues Revenues from products sold
Revenue from the sale of products is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable reduced by net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer,
recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be
estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.
Transfer of risks and benefits varies depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For sales of goods, transfer usually occurs when the product is received at the customer’s warehouse;
however, for some international shipments transfer occurs upon loading the goods onto the relevant
carrier.
Revenue from services supplied Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit and loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by verifying
the work performed.
Rental income Rental income is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
59
k) Financial income and expenses
Financial income is mainly accounted for by interest income on funds invested (including available-for-
sale financial assets), dividend income, gains on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, foreign currency gains, and
gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised on the date that the
shareholder’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-
dividend date.
Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, dividends on preference shares classified
as liabilities, foreign currency losses, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets, and losses on hedging instruments
that are recognised in profit or loss. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Profit or loss from exchange differences are disclosed in a net amount.
l) Income tax expense
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is carried in profit or
loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is
recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liabilities method, taking into account the temporary differences between the book value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for taxation purposes. All temporary differences are taken into consideration. Deferred tax is disclosed in the amount expected to be paid when temporary differences are no longer
existent. This is done based on the acts in force on the reporting date.
The Company offsets deferred receivables and tax liabilities if it is legally entitled to offset recognized
assessed receivables and tax liabilities if they refer to corporate income tax that belongs to the same
tax authority in relation to the same taxable unit; or different taxable units that intend to settle the
assessed tax liabilities and tax receivables with the difference and either simultaneously return
receivables and settle the liabilities.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which a deferred tax asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Additional income tax that arises from the distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as
the liability to pay the related dividend.
m) Net earnings per share
The Company presents basic earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in the period. Adjusted earnings per
60
share equal net earnings per share since the Company does not have preferential shares or deferred or convertible shares.
Segment reporting Segment is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing products or
services (business segment) or products and services within a particular economic environment
(geographical segment) and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of
components operating in other segments.
The Company’s segment reporting is based on business segments.
Transfer prices between segments are set on an arm’s length basis.
Segment profit or losses, segment assets, and segment liabilities include amounts of such items that
are directly attributable to a segment and amounts of such items that can be allocated to a segment
on a reasonable basis. Unallocated assets include investments whereas unallocated liabilities include
capital.
New standards and interpretations not yet effective A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for
the year ended 31 December 2007, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:
• IFRS 8 – Operating Segments introduces the “management approach” to segment reporting. IFRS 8,
which becomes mandatory for the Company’s 2009 financial statements, will require the disclosure of segment information based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief
Operating Decision Maker in order to assess each segment’s performance and to allocate resources to them. Currently the Company presents segment information in respect of its business segment (see
Note No. 1).
• Revised IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs removes the option to expense borrowing costs and requires that
an entity capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The revised IAS 23 will become mandatory for
the Company’s 2009 financial statements and will constitute a change in accounting policy. In accordance with the transitional provisions the Company will apply the revised IAS 23 to qualifying
assets for which capitalisation of borrowing costs commences on or after the effective date.
• IFRIC 11 IFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions requires a share-based payment
arrangement in which an entity receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, regardless of
how the equity instruments are obtained. IFRIC 11 will become mandatory for the Company’s 2008 financial statements, with retrospective application required. It is not expected to have any impact on
the financial statements.
• IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements provides guidance on certain recognition and
measurement issues that arise in accounting for public-to-private service concession arrangements. IFRIC 12, which becomes mandatory for the Company’s 2008 financial statements, is not expected to
have any effect on the financial statements.
• IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes addresses the accounting by entities that operate, or
otherwise participate in, customer loyalty programmes for their customers. It relates to customer loyalty programmes under which the customer can redeem credits for awards such as free or
discounted goods or services. It is not expected that IFRIC 13, which becomes mandatory for the
Company’s 2009 financial statements, will have an impact on the financial statements.
• IFRIC 14 IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction clarifies when refunds or reductions in future contributions in relation to defined benefit
61
assets should be regarded as available and provides guidance on the impact of minimum funding requirements (MFR) on such assets. It also addresses when a MFR might give rise to a liability. IFRIC
14, which becomes mandatory for the Company’s 2008 financial statements, is not expected to have
any impact on the financial statements.
4. Determination of fair value A number of the company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value,
for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for
measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods describe below. Where applicable,
further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes
specific to that asset or liability.
a) Property, plant and equipment The fair value of property equals the estimated value at which the property could be exchanged on
the appraisal date and following adequate marketing between knowledgeable, willing parties in an
arm’s length transaction. The fair value of items of plant, equipment and inventory is based on the market price of similar items.
b) Intangible assets
The fair value of an intangible asset is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows
expected to arise from the use and eventual sale of the asset.
c) Inventories
The fair value of inventory is determined on the basis of its estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin
based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventory.
d) Investments in equity and debt securities
The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, held-to-maturity investments
and available-for-sale financial assets is determined at bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of
held-to-maturity investments is determined only for reporting purposes.
e) Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows,
discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
f) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of
future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting
date. In financial lease contracts, the market interest rate is determined through a comparison with
similar lease contracts.
5. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
Credit risk
Liquidity risk
Market risk.
This section deals with the Company and its exposure to the above risks, its objectives, policies and
procedures for risk measurement and management, and its equity management. Other quantitative
62
disclosures are indicated below.
Management is entirely responsible to set up the Company’s risk management framework.
The risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse risks that can pose a threat to the
Company, on the basis of which adequate constraints and controls are determined, as well as risks are
monitored and constraints considered. The risk management policies and systems are subject to a
regular review and updated information on market conditions and activities of the Company is
regularly communicated. The Company endeavours through training and risk management standards
and procedures to develop a disciplined and constructive environment in which all the employees are
aware of their role and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of suffering financial loss should any of the Company’s clients or parties to the
financial instrument contract fail to meet their contractual obligations. Credit risk mainly occurs due to
Company’s trade receivables and investment securities.
Trade and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk mainly depends on individual clients’ characteristics. The
demographics of the Company’s client base as well as payment risk in terms of industry or country in
which a client operates does not have such impact on credit risk. Approximately 3.5 % of Company’s
revenues may be attributed to sales with one client alone. In geographical terms, there is no credit
risk concentration.
The Company shapes its credit policy according to which a creditworthiness analysis of each new
client is made before the Company offers them its standard payment and delivery conditions. The
Company review includes any exterior estimates, if available and in certain cases also bank’s references.
Purchase limits – to be determined in the form of the highest open amount – are set for each client
separately; such limits are verified every three months. Any transactions with a client not meeting the
standard creditworthiness are carried out solely through advance payments.
The ownership is retained in the goods until those goods have been paid up in full. In the event of a
non-payment for the goods the Company’s claim is therefore secured. As for operating and other
receivables, the Company requires no surety.
The Company makes allowance for the value of impairment, representing the amount of estimated
losses arising from operating and other receivables as well as investments. The main elements of this
allowance are a special portion of the loss related to individual key risks, and the total loss, formed for
groups of similar assets due to incurred losses not yet defined. An allowance for total amount of loss
is determined by taking into account historical data referring to payment statistics of similar financial
resources.
Allowances for trade receivables are made on the basis of a collectability analysis of each receivable.
Allowance is based on receivables which remain unpaid 90 days after the maturity. The average trade
receivables allowance accounts for 0.5 % of net sales revenue or 0.3 percentage points less than in
2006. Total receivables are divided into:
- Past due of EUR 1,733 thousand
- Not yet due of EUR 4,950 thousand
Investments
The Company reduces its credit risk exposure through investments in liquid securities of contractual
63
parties with adequate credit rating.
Guarantees
In accordance with its policy, the Company provides financial guarantees or sureties solely to
subsidiaries fully owned by the controlling company. As of 31 December 2007, the Company records
guarantees granted under off-balance sheet items.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the Company’s inability to meet its financial obligations when they
fall due. The Company manages to ensure the highest possible liquidity by always having sufficient
liquid assets available to settle its obligations within the set time limits, both under normal and
stressful circumstances, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s
reputation.
Evaluation of products and services is based on activities aimed at monitoring the Company’s cash
flow needs and optimising return on investments. The Company also claims it has sufficient cash
(sight deposits) to cover operating expense for a period of 60 days, including servicing financial
liabilities; the latter excludes any potential consequences of unpredictable extraordinary
circumstances, such as natural disasters for example.
The Company has the following credits lines: for approved overdrafts with domestic banks totalling
EUR 1,025 thousand; interest rate ranges up to maximum EURIBOR plus 1%. As of 31 December
2007, the overdraft amounted to EUR 73 thousand.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and equity
instruments may impact the Company’s revenues or the value of financial instruments. The objective
of market risk management is to manage and control the market risk exposure within reasonable
limits while optimising the profit.
The Company trades in financial instruments and assumes financial obligations, both with the aim of
managing market risks. All these transactions are carried out in compliance with the Company’s
policies. In order to reduce the fluctuations in earnings to the lowest possible level the Company
makes sustained efforts to use accounting treatment for risk protection purposes.
Currency risk
The Company is not exposed to currency risk. The Company concludes the majority of purchasing
deals in its functional currency. The volume of business not concluded in the Company’s functional
currency, i.e. USD, GBP and CHF is negligible. As far as sales and borrowing are concerned,
transactions are carried out in Euros.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risks since a variable interest rate applies to the most of its
financial liabilities. The Company has so far had no specific protection against changes to interest
rates.
Capital management
The Board has made a decision to keep a large capital volume so as to maintain confidence of
shareholders, creditors and market and the Company’s sustainable development. The Supervisory
Board monitors the return on equity defined by the Company as net earnings divided by average
equity less net profit for financial year.
64
The Company endeavours to maintain balance between higher returns to be ensured through higher
loans, and benefits and security of a strong capital position. The Company’s goal for 2007 was to
achieve a 5.46 percent return on the capital employed. The actual return achieved was 3.17 percent
(3.12 percent in 2006).
During the reporting year, no changes related to capital management occurred at the Company.
The parent company or its subsidiaries were not subject to capital requirements to be determined by
external bodies.

complete the project and sell or use it in view of the probability of the economic benefits and the
capability of a reliable measurement of costs attributable to the respective intangible asset.
In 2007, the Company invested EUR 237 thousand in long-term property rights stated under
acquisitions in the period and change to PPE in progress. Deferred development costs are recorded for
the public documents project.

The Company used a 22 % tax rate in deferred tax accounting, except in tax loss where the Company
applied a tax rate ranging from 20% to 22% based on the estimation of tax loss utilisation in the
coming years. Deferred tax liabilities are based on surpluses arising from revaluation of available-for-
sale investments, measured at fair value through equity.
Deferred tax assets are based on provisions for anniversary bonuses and termination pays on
retirement, tax loss and temporary differences arising from accounting for income tax on investments,
receivables, inventories and other provisions to be recognised as tax deductible in subsequent periods.
The Company recognised deferred tax assets for the tax loss based on the estimate that in the coming years taxable profits will be available, against which the deferred tax assets can be used in the future.
In the periods of tax loss utilisation a decrease in deferred tax assets will mean a corresponding decrease in profits.
In 2007, the investment incentive allowance amounted to EUR 9 thousand and the unexploited tax
loss to EUR 395 thousand.

The Company wrote off for the year 2007 the assets of EUR 492 thousand related to materials and
products which had no longer been usable. The largest product write-offs related to labels, plastic
cards and wrappings as well as documents as a result of the use of inadequate material. The
Company managed to reduce partially the related costs through claims concerning the materials, as
shown in production cost.
A surplus of EUR 115 thousand was recorded, mainly in material, and a deficit of EUR 48 thousand in
material assets. The reasons for discrepancies lie in the introduction of a new information system and
the recording method used by the responsible providers.
Allowances are accounted for by type of inventories and movement. No new allowances had to be
made other than those made in the past periods. When examining the inventories in the stores accommodating items under complaint, the inventories of materials, products and merchandise that
did not show any movement for more than 12 months, the Company applied the same policies as in
the preceding years.
The increase in work in progress results from open work orders, not being evident from the table, yet
the value of work orders shows an increase of EUR 244 thousand. As at 31 December 2006, the value
of work in progress also comprised the value of semi-manufactures totalling EUR 652 thousand; as at
31 December 2007, however, the value of semi-manufactures as products was included in the value of
finished products, disclosing an increase over the preceding year.
A change in accounting estimate concerning the evaluation of inventory of work in progress and
finished products is disclosed due to the exclusion of production cost in 2007. Expense in inventory of
work in progress amounts to EUR 12 thousand and EUR 37 thousand in inventory of finished products,
which means that the total expense transferred to other operating expenses accounted for EUR 49
thousand in 2007.

27. Financial instruments – risk management
Risk exposure and management
At the time of a stable euro exchange rate, currency risks were excluded since almost all foreign
transactions outside the EMU were made in EUR.
The Company is aware of the importance attributed to regular control and management of financial risks to which the Company is exposed in the markets, and views it as a relevant precondition for
successful operations and achieving of strategic goals. In 2007, the interest rate risks were primarily predominant (a general growth of interest rates). The analysis of these risks showed that the interest
rate risk was higher also due a new borrowing of the Company or the guarantees issued. The
Company expects these risks to increase also in the future as a result of the operations of the parent company and its subsidiaries.
All the long-term debts are denominated in Euros. Interest rates are based on the market principles
governing the price of money in the European banking market. The interest rate risks have not been hedged so far, as the Company assesses that the interest rate fixations offered are still above the
variable rates or that long-term movements in interest rates will allow more favourable cost of funding
in the whole borrowing period. The Company also decided not to assume any new (currency) risks due to lower interest rates of other currencies.
- Interest rate risks increased due to the extent of loans and sudden movements and
increases in interest rates. The interest rate level was assessed to be still acceptable for all
long-term loans, with its contractually agreed variability and taking into account the maturity. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risks is higher than in the preceding year.
80
- Property risks and related risks were systematically and analytically assigned in 2007 to
insurance companies.
- Liquidity risks are low at Cetis over the short period of time as a result of efficient asset
management, adequate credit lines for cash flow control, satisfactory financial flexibility and good access to the necessary financial resources, whereby the Company takes into account
the circumstances in financial environment and on financial markets.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at stock market price.
Loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost calculated using the method of effective
interest rate that does not differ from the contractual interest rate. Accordingly, the contractual interest rate is used in the calculations.
In trade and other receivables, the impairment to fair value is taken into account in view of
collectability. The receivables are not discounted owing to their short-term nature.
The same applies to trade and other payables that are not discounted owing to their short-term
nature.

2. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
a) Statement of compliance The 2007 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRSIC), as adopted by the European
Union.
The Management Board approved the financial statements on 18 April 2008.
92
b) Basis of measurement The 2007 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for
the following cases that have been measured at fair value:
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
available-for-sale financial assets
The methods used to measure fair value are described below.
c) Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Euros, i.e. in the Company's functional currency and are
rounded off to EUR thousand.
d) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods
affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements, prepared by the management in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount
recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:
Note 7 – Business combinations
Note 8 – Measurement of recoverable amounts of cash generating units, including goodwill
Note 13 – Utilisation of tax losses
Notes 23 and 24 – Provisions and contingent liabilities
Note 25 – Valuation of financial instruments
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Group companies to all
periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
a) Basis for consolidation Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to
govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. When assessing the impact, the existence and effect of potential voting rights should be considered
that are currently exercisable or convertible. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in
the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been modified or adapted to those of the Group,
if necessary.
93
Associates and joint ventures (jointly controlled entities accounted for using equity method) Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the
financial and operating policies. A significant influence exists if a group holds from 20 to 50 percent of
votes in another entity.
Associates are accounted for using equity method. Upon initial recognition, they are measured at historical cost. The Group’s investment comprises goodwill arising upon the acquisition and net value of
incurred losses due to impairment. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share in profits and losses of associates, calculated using the equity method, after the alignment of accounting
policies, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that it ceases. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate exceeds its interest in the associate, the carrying amount of
that interest is reduced to nil (including all long-term investments) and the recognition of further
losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s
interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
b) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currency Any transactions disclosed in foreign currency are converted into the relevant functional currency of the Group companies at the exchange rate on the date of transaction.
Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are converted into EUR at the date of the transaction and at the end of the accounting period at the (ECB) reference exchange rate of the Bank
of Slovenia.
Monetary assets and liabilities stated in foreign currency at the balance sheet date are translated into
functional currency at the applicable exchange rate. The foreign exchange gains or losses are the differences between the amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period,
adjusted by the amount of effective interest and the payments effected during the accounting period, as well as the amortised cost expressed in a foreign currency and translated at the exchange rate at
the end of the period. Non-monetary items and liabilities stated in foreign currency and measured at
the fair value are converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the date on which the fair value was set. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the income
statement.
Foreign entities Assets and liabilities of foreign entities are converted into EUR at the exchange rate effective on the
balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of foreign entities are converted into EUR at exchange
rates effective on the date of conversion.
94
c) Financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments include investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other
receivables, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and loans, and trade and other liabilities.
Non-derivative instruments are recognised initially at fair value increased by directly attributable
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as explained below.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statement.
Accounting of financial income and expenses is described in point l) Financial income and expenses.
Available-for-sale financial assets Investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value. The changes
in fair value, except for impairment losses are recognised directly in equity. When an investment is
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss An instrument is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or
loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their
fair value. Upon initial recognition, attributable transactions costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and a
change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Other Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less any impairment losses.
Share capital Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares form part of the share capital.
Repurchase of own shares When own shares are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly
attributable costs, without any tax effect, is recognised as a change in equity. Repurchased shares are
classified as own shares and are presented as a deduction from equity. When own shares are sold the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognised in equity.
95
d) Property, plant and equipment
Presentation and measurement Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less allowance for depreciation and the incurred
impairment loss. At the date of transition to IFRS, property, plant and equipment were carried at their
hypothetical cost at 1 January 2005.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-
constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of
dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that
equipment. Borrowing costs related to the purchase or construction of property are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Parts of an item of property, plant and equipment with different useful lives are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by
comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and
are recognised within »other operating income« in Income Statement.
Subsequent costs related to property, plant and equipment The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount of the item if it is probable that future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be reliably measured. All other costs, such as day-to-day servicing, are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an
item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation rates are based on the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
in years, min. in years,
max.
Buildings 7 40
Plant and equipment for graphic activity 3 20
Laboratory equipment 3 10
Vehicles 5 8
Telephone sets, telegraph switchboard 3 5
Furniture 5 6
Typewriters, computer equipment 3 8
Computer equipment for fire safety 3 3
Measuring and control appliances 4 6
Useful life is determined and examined in accordance with the Accounting Manual. The item Buildings
includes parts, such as hydraulic bridge-over plate, with a 14.2% depreciation rate or useful life of 7 years.
96
Depreciation methods, useful life and the residual value are examined at the reporting date in
accordance with the Accounting Manual.
e) Intangible assets
Goodwill Goodwill (badwill) arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures.
Acquisitions as from date of transition to IFRS
In acquisitions made on or after 1 January 2006 goodwill is defined as the excess or difference
between the purchase price and the Group’s share in the net fair value of identified assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities of the acquired company. If the excess is negative (badwill), it is directly
recognised in the Income Statement.
Subsequent measurement
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulates impairment losses. With the receiver of investments,
accounted for by equity method, the book value of goodwill is included in the investment book value.
Research and development Expenditure on research activities aiming to achieve new scientific and professional knowledge and
understanding is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
The development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or essentially improved
products and processes. An expense for development is recognised if it can be reliably measured, if the product or process is technically and operationally feasible, if there is a potential for future
economic benefits, if the Group has adequate resources for the completion of development, and if it intends to use or sell such assets. The recognised expenditure comprises the cost of materials, direct
labour costs, and other costs which can be directly attributable to qualifying the asset for its intended
use. Borrowing costs related to the development of qualifying assets and other expenditure are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure related to intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Amortisation Amortisation is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. Amortisation of an asset begins when the asset is available for use. The estimated useful lives
for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Depreciation rates are based on the estimated useful life of the assets:
in years, min. in years,
max.
Intangible assets 3 10
97
f) Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal
to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to
that asset.
g) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the First-In-First-Out method (FIFO), and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the
inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an
appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated
costs of completion and selling expenses.
h) Impairment of assets
Financial assets A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence
indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the
difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows
discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value.
Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining
financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-
for-sale financial asset recognised previously directly in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available-
for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, an impairment loss cannot be reversed through profit or loss.
Non-financial assets At each reporting date, the carrying amount of non-financial assets of the Group other than inventories and deferred tax assets, is examined to find out any indication of impairment. If such an
indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets
that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its
fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
98
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets
are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing
use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the »cash-generating unit«). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment
testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss
has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the
extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised in previous periods.
i) Employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits Net liability of the Group that arises in connection with long-term employee benefits is a sum of future
benefits paid to the employees in exchange for their work performed in the current and previous
periods. Such amount of benefits is discounted to determine its present value, and then decreased by
the fair value of all related assets. At the reporting date, the discount rate is the recorded yield of AA
rated bonds, with the maturity approximately the same as the maturity of the Group’s liabilities. The
calculation is made using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains and losses are
recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
Short-term employee benefits Obligations for short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
The liability is disclosed in the amount for which payment is expected in the form of a premium,
payable within twelve months after the expiry of the period of performing the work, or a profit sharing scheme, if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments due to
previous work performed by the employee and such obligation can be measured reliably.
j) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has present legal or constructive obligations that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Warranties for products and services A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their
associated probabilities.
99
k) Revenues Revenues from the sale of products Revenue from the sale of products is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised
when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable and the associated costs or possible return of goods and when there is
no continuing Group involvement with the products sold, and when the level of revenues can be
measured reliably.
Transfers of risks and rewards vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For sales of goods, transfer usually occurs when the product is received at the customer’s warehouse;
however, for some international shipments transfer occurs upon loading the goods onto the relevant
carrier.
Revenues from services Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion
of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys
of work performed.
Rental income Rental income is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
l) Financial income and expenses Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial
assets), dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in
the fair value of financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognised on the date that the shareholder’s right to receive payment is
established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.
Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, dividends on preference shares classified
as liabilities, foreign currency losses, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Exchange gains and losses are disclosed in net amount.
m) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is
recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. All temporary differences are taken into consideration. Deferred
tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when
100
they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting
date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on
a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which a deferred tax asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Additional income tax that arises from the distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as
the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.
n) Net earnings per share
The Group presents basic earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in the period. Diluted earnings per share are identical as the Group holds neither any preference nor convertible shares.
o) Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular
economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments.
The Group’s segment reporting is based on business segments.
Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those
that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated assets include investments whereas unallocated liabilities include capital.
o) New standards and interpretations not yet effective
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for
the year ended 31 December 2007, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:
• IFRS 8 – Operating Segments introduces the “management approach” to segment reporting.
IFRS 8, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2009 financial statements, will require the
disclosure of segment information based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to assess each segment’s performance and to
allocate resources to them. Currently the Group presents segment information in respect of its business segment (see Note No. 1).
• Revised IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs removes the option to expense borrowing costs and
requires that an entity capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The revised IAS 23 will become mandatory for the Group’s 2009 financial statements and will constitute a
change in accounting policy. In accordance with the transitional provisions the Group will apply the revised IAS 23 to qualifying assets for which capitalisation of borrowing costs
commences on or after the effective date.
101
• IFRIC 11 IFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions requires a share-based payment
arrangement in which an entity receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity
instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, regardless of how the equity instruments are obtained. IFRIC 11 will become mandatory for
the Group’s 2008 financial statements, with retrospective application required. It is not expected to have any impact on the financial statements.
• IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements provides guidance on certain recognition and measurement issues that arise in accounting for public-to-private service concession
arrangements. IFRIC 12, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2008 financial statements, is not expected to have any effect on the financial statements.
• IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes addresses the accounting by entities that operate,
or otherwise participate in, customer loyalty programmes for their customers. It relates to
customer loyalty programmes under which the customer can redeem credits for awards such as free or discounted goods or services. It is not expected that IFRIC 13, which becomes
mandatory for the Group’s 2009 financial statements, will have an impact on the financial statements.
• IFRIC 14 IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction clarifies when refunds or reductions in future contributions in relation to
defined benefit assets should be regarded as available and provides guidance on the impact of minimum funding requirements (MFR) on such assets. It also addresses when a MFR might
give rise to a liability. IFRIC 14, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2008 financial statements, is not expected to have any impact on the financial statements.
4. Determination of fair value A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value,
for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for
measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to
that asset or liability.
a) Property, plant and equipment The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could
be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and
without compulsion. The market value of items of plant and equipment is based on offered market
price of similar items.
b) Intangible assets The fair value of intangible assets is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows
expected to be derived from their use and eventual sale.
c) Inventories The fair value of inventories in business combinations is determined on the basis of their expected
sales value achieved in ordinary business reduced by the estimated cost of completion and the
estimated sale costs and an adequate margin with regard to the work for completion and sale of
inventories.
102
d) Investment in equity and debt securities The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and
available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes only.
e) Trade and other receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows,
discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
f) Non-derivative financial liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of
future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease
agreements.
5. Financial risk management
The Group is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
Credit risk
Liquidity risk
Market risk.
This section deals with the Group and its exposure to the above risks, its objectives, policies and
procedures for risk measurement and management, and its equity management. Other quantitative
disclosures are indicated below.
Management is entirely responsible to set up the Group’s risk management framework.
The risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse risks that can pose a threat to the
Group, on the basis of which adequate constraints and controls are determined, as well as risks are
monitored and constraints considered. The risk management policies and systems are subject to a
regular review and updated information on market conditions and activities of the Group is regularly
communicated. The Group endeavours through training and risk management standards and
procedures to develop a disciplined and constructive environment in which all the employees are
aware of their role and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of suffering financial loss should any of the clients or parties to the financial
instrument contract fail to meet their contractual obligations. Credit mainly occurs due to Group’s
trade receivables and investment securities.
Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk mainly depends on individual client’s characteristics. The
demographics of the Group’s client base as well as payment risk in terms of industry or country in
which a client operates does not have such impact on credit risk. Approximately 2.5 % of Group’s
revenues may be attributed to sales with one client alone. In geographical terms, there is no credit
risk concentration.
The Group shapes its credit policy according to which a creditworthiness analysis of each new client is
made before the Group offers them its standard payment and delivery conditions. The Group review
includes any exterior estimates, if available and in certain cases also bank’s references. Purchase limits
– to be determined in the form of the highest open amount – are set for each client separately; such
limits are verified every three months. Any transactions with a client not meeting the standard
103
creditworthiness are carried out solely through advance payments.
The ownership is retained in the goods until those goods have been paid up in full. In the event of a
non-payment for the goods the Group’s claim is therefore secured. As for trade and other receivables,
the Group requires no surety.
The Group makes allowance for the value of impairment, representing the amount of estimated losses
arising from trade and other receivables as well as investments. The main elements of this allowance
are a special portion of the loss related to individual key risks, and the total loss, formed for groups of
similar assets due to incurred losses not yet defined. An allowance for total amount of loss is
determined by taking into account historical data referring to payment statistics of similar financial
resources.
Allowances for trade receivables are made on the basis of a collectability analysis of each receivable.
Allowance is based on receivables which remain unpaid 90 days after the maturity. The average trade
receivables allowance accounts for 1.5 % of net sales revenue or 0.8 percentage points more than in
2006. Total trade receivables are divided into:
- Past due of EUR 2,712 thousand
- Not yet due of EUR 6,768 thousand
Investments
The Group reduces its credit risk exposure through investments in liquid securities of contractual
parties with adequate credit rating.
Guarantees
In accordance with its policy, the Group provides financial guarantees or sureties solely to subsidiaries
fully owned by the controlling company. As of 31 December 2007, the Company records guarantees
granted under off-balance sheet items.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the Group’s inability to meet its financial obligations when they fall
due. The Group manages to ensure the highest possible liquidity by always having sufficient liquid
assets available to settle its obligations within the set time limits, both under normal and stressful
circumstances, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Group’s reputation.
Evaluation of products and services is based on activities aimed at monitoring the Group’s cash flow
needs and optimising return on investments. The Group also claims it has sufficient cash (sight
deposits) to cover operating expense for a period of 60 days, including servicing financial liabilities;
the latter excludes any potential consequences of unpredictable extraordinary circumstances, such as
natural disasters for example.
The Group has the following credits lines:
for approved overdrafts with domestic banks totalling EUR 1,151 thousand; interest rate ranges
up to maximum 7%. As of 31 December 2007, the overdraft amounted to EUR 73 thousand.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and equity
instruments may impact the Group’s revenues or the value of financial instruments. The objective of
market risk management is to manage and control the market risk exposure within reasonable limits
while optimising the profit.
104
The Group trades in financial instruments and assumes financial obligations, both with the aim of
managing market risks. All these transactions are carried out in compliance with the Group’s policies.
In order to reduce the fluctuations in earnings to the lowest possible level the Group makes sustained
efforts to use accounting treatment for risk protection purposes.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk in purchasing and sales, namely in transactions in currencies
not being functional currencies of the Group companies. The Group performs the majority of its
transactions in EUR, HRK, USD, GBP, CHF and DKK. As far borrowings are concerned, transactions
are carried out in Euros. The Group made no special hedging against currency risks.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risks since a variable interest rate applies to most of its financial
liabilities. The Group has so far had no specific hedging against changes to interest rates.
Capital management
The Management Board has made a decision to keep a large capital volume so as to maintain
confidence of shareholders, creditors and market and the Group’s sustainable development. The
Supervisory Board monitors the return on equity defined by the Group as net earnings divided by
average equity less net profit for financial year.
The Group seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher
levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The Group’s goal for 2007 was to achieve a 6.1 percent return on the capital employed. The actual return
achieved was 0.57 percent.
During the reporting year, no changes related to capital management occurred at the Group.
Neither the parent company nor its subsidiaries were subject to capital requirements to be determined
by external bodies.

The Group used a 22 % tax rate in deferred tax accounting, except in tax loss where it applied a tax
rate ranging from 20% to 22% based on the estimation of tax loss utilisation in the coming years.
Deferred tax liabilities are based on surpluses arising from revaluation of available-for-sale
investments, measured at fair value through equity.
Deferred tax assets are based on provisions for anniversary bonuses and termination pays on
retirement, tax loss and temporary differences arising from accounting for income tax on investments,
receivables, inventories and other provisions to be recognised as tax deductible in subsequent
periods.
The Group recognised deferred tax assets for the tax loss based on the estimate that in the coming
years taxable profits will be available, against which the deferred tax assets can be used in the future.
In the periods of tax loss utilisation a decrease in deferred tax assets will mean a corresponding
decrease in profits.

The Group wrote off for the year 2007 the assets of EUR 514 thousand related to materials and
products which had no longer been usable. The largest product write-offs related to labels, plastic
cards and wrappings as well as documents as a result of the use of inadequate material. The Group
managed to reduce partially the related costs through claims concerning the materials, as shown
consequently in production cost.
A surplus of EUR 115 thousand was recorded, mainly in material, and a deficit of EUR 48 thousand in
material assets.
116
Allowances are accounted for by type of inventories and movement. No new allowances had to be
made other than those made in the past periods. When examining the inventories in the stores
accommodating items under complaint, the inventories of materials, products and merchandise that did not show any movement for more than 12 months, the Group applied the same policies as in the
preceding years.
A change in accounting estimate concerning the evaluation of inventory of work in progress and
finished products is disclosed due to the exclusion of production cost in 2007. Expense in inventory of
work in progress amounts to EUR 12 thousand and EUR 37 thousand in inventory of finished products,
which means that the total expense transferred to other operating expenses accounted for EUR 49
thousand in 2007.

In 2007, the Group acquired no own shares. As at 31 December 2007, the Group recorded 201 CETG
designated own shares.
The fair value reserve was decreased mainly due to the sale of an investment valued through equity.

25. Financial instruments – risk management
Risk exposure and risk management At the time of a stable euro exchange rate, currency risks were almost completely excluded since
most of foreign transactions outside the EMU were made in EUR.
The Group is aware of the importance attributed to regular control and management of financial risks to which the Group is exposed in the markets, and views it as a relevant precondition for successful
operations and achieving of strategic goals. In 2007, the interest rate risks were primarily predominant (a general growth of interest rates). The analysis of these risks showed that the interest
rate risk was higher also due a new borrowing of the Company or the guarantees issued. The Group
expects these risks to increase also in the future as a result of the operations of the parent company and its subsidiaries.
All the long-term debts are denominated in Euros. Interest rates are based on the market principles
governing the price of money in the European banking market. The interest rate risks have not been
hedged so far, as the Group assesses that the interest rate fixations offered are still above the variable rates or that long-term movements in interest rates will allow more favourable cost of funding
in the whole borrowing period. The Group also decided not to assume any new (currency) risks due to lower interest rates of other currencies.
- Interest rate risks increased due to the extent of loans and sudden movements and increases in interest rates. The interest rate level was assessed to be still acceptable for all
long-term loans, with its contractually agreed variability and taking into account the maturity. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risks is higher than in the preceding year.
- Property risks and related risks were systematically and analytically assigned in 2007 to insurance companies.
- Liquidity risks are low at the Group over the short period of time as a result of efficient
asset management, adequate credit lines for cash flow control, satisfactory financial flexibility and good access to the necessary financial resources, whereby the Group takes into account
the circumstances in financial environment and on financial markets.

Available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value and depend on the recognition of the investment after the trade date.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at stock market price.
Loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost calculated using the method of effective interest rate that does not differ from the contractual interest rate. Accordingly, the contractual
interest rate is used in the calculations.
In trade and other receivables, the impairment to fair value is taken into account in view of
collectability. The receivables are not discounted owing to their short-term nature.
The same applies to trade and other payables that are not discounted owing to their short-term nature.
