There are no other obligations.
No securities have been issued and no funds have been attracted in the reporting period.
We have described the risks and uncertainties that our management believes are material, but these risks and uncertainties may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those we currently do not know or deem immaterial, may also result in deceased revenues, increased expenses or other events that could result in a decline in the price of our ADSs and/or notes.
Due to the specifics of the issuers principal business, its risks, which might lead to reduction of the securities price, are conditional, to a greater extent, on the consolidated risks of the companies controlled by the issuer directly or indirectly. For the purposes of this section the terms Company, our Company shall mean both the issuer separately, and together with the companies it controls.

2.5.1. Risks Relating to Industry
Our success depends in part on our continued ability to be an efficient producer in a highly competitive industry. If we cannot continue to control costs through productivity gains or by eliminating redundant costs resulting from acquisitions, our results of operations will suffer. In particular, price increases and shortages of packaging and raw materials could adversely affect our results of operations. For example, our results of operations may be affected by the availability and pricing of packaging materials, principally cardboard and plastic containers, and raw materials, principally raw milk and juice concentrate. We are substantially dependent upon a single supplier of packaging materials, Tetra Pak, which may make us more vulnerable to changes in global supply and demand and their effect on price and availability of these materials. In addition, we are currently renegotiating certain pricing terms in our framework agreement with Tetra Pak pursuant to which we purchase packaging materials. Failure to conclude an agreement on commercially reasonable terms would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, weather conditions and other factors beyond our control significantly influence the price and availability of our raw materials. A number of our raw materials, such as juice concentrate and sugar, are international commodities and are subject to international price fluctuations.
Our success also depends on our continued ability to be an effective advertiser in a market where media inflation on leading national television channels exceeded 80% in 2002. A substantial increase in the prices of any of the foregoing, which we may not be able to pass on to customers through price increases, or a protracted interruption in supply with respect to packaging or raw materials, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Economic downturns could hurt our turnover and materially and adversely affect our strategy to increase our sales of premium brands.
Demand for dairy and juice products, as well as bottled water, depends primarily on demographic factors and consumer preferences as well as factors relating to discretionary consumer spending, including the general condition of the economy and general levels of consumer confidence. The willingness of consumers to purchase branded food and beverage products depends in part on local economic conditions. In periods of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to purchase more economy brands and, to the extent that our business strategy depends on the expansion of the sales of premium brands, our results of operations could suffer. Reduced consumption of our products in any of our key markets could reduce our turnover and profitability.
Increased competition and consumer preference for low-price, lower-quality juice products primarily in the region outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg have resulted in declining profit margins in our juice segment, which have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our results of operations.
Although juice consumption in Russia is increasing, our profit margins on our juice products decreased in 2002 due to vigorous market competition from domestic and foreign producers and to consumer preference for low-price, lower-quality juice products primarily in the regions outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg where per capita household incomes are generally lower. These factors put downward pressure on juice prices in all price categories in 2002. At the same time, prices for juice concentrate increased. A continuation of these trends may cause a further decline in our juice prices and profit margins and, consequently, have a further negative effect on our results of operations.
15
Independent distributors may export our products to countries where such products do not meet the requirements of applicable legislation. The consequent recalls of our products and the associated negative publicity may adversely affect our reputation in the Russian Federation, the Commonwealth of Independent States, or CIS, and abroad, and adversely affect our results of operations.
In exporting our products, we attempt to meet the standards and requirements of applicable legislation governing the import of food products into the importing country. Independent distributors have, in some cases, attempted to export our products to countries where such products did not meet the requirements of applicable legislation.
Possible implementation of new federal or local government policies, or selective application of existing policies, affecting the food industry could substantially and negatively affect our turnover and operating margin.
Possible implementation of new federal or local government policies, or selective application of existing policies, affecting the food industry could have a significant impact on our business. For example, the federal and local governments have been known to implement trade barriers, subsidies and other policies favoring certain producers. Additionally, customs regulations in Russia are unclear, subject to frequent change and are applied inconsistently. The imposition of higher customs duties on products we import would increase the costs of our products and reduce our turnover, while the implementation of price controls on products we produce would reduce our operating margin. For example, federal customs regulations enacted during 2001 subject juice concentrate imports to the highest level of customs duties allowed for that particular category of imports. In addition, federal customs regulations enacted during 2002 stipulate minimum declaration amounts for imported goods. As a result of such regulations, we may be forced to declare a higher value for imported goods than the amount actually paid and, consequently, pay a higher tariff on such goods. Another example of a government regulation that has affected us is Government Regulation No. 988, which, as of January 1, 2004, requires food producers intending to develop and offer a new food product to the public to file an application for the products state registration and incorporation into the State Register of Permitted Food Products. The implementation of this regulation may cause delays in the introduction of our new products and result in increased production costs.
2.5.2. Political risks
Since 1991, Russia has sought to transform itself from a one-party state with a centrally-planned economy to a pluralist democracy with a market-oriented economy. As a result of the sweeping nature of the reforms, and the failure of some of them, the Russian political system remains vulnerable to popular dissatisfaction, as well as to unrest by particular social and ethnic groups. Significant political instability could have a material adverse effect on the value of foreign investments in Russia, including the value of our ADSs and/or notes.
The composition of the Russian governmentthe prime minister and the other heads of federal ministrieshas at times been highly unstable. Six different prime ministers, for example, headed governments between March 1998 and May 2000. On December 31, 1999, President Yeltsin resigned and Vladimir Putin was subsequently elected president on March 26, 2000. While President Putin has maintained governmental stability and policies generally oriented towards the continuation of economic reforms, no assurance can be given that such conditions will continue over time. State Duma elections are to be held at the end of 2003 and
16
presidential elections in 2004. The value of investments in Russia, including in our ADSs and notes, could be reduced and our prospects could be harmed if governmental instability recurs or if reform policies are reversed.
The Russian Federation is a federation of republics, territories, regions, cities of federal importance and autonomous areas. The delineation of authority among the members of the Russian Federation and the federal governmental authorities is, in many instances, uncertain and sometimes contested. Lack of consensus between the federal government and local or regional authorities often results in the enactment of conflicting legislation at various levels and may result in political instability. This lack of consensus hinders our long-term planning efforts and creates uncertainties in our operating environment, both of which may prevent us from efficiently carrying out our expansion plans. Additionally, ethnic, religious, historical and other divisions have, on occasion, given rise to tensions, and in certain cases, to military conflict. Russian military forces have been engaged in Chechnya in the past and are currently involved in ground and air operations there. The spread of violence, or its intensification, could have significant political consequences. These include the imposition of a state of emergency in some or all of the Russian Federation. These events could materially adversely affect the value of investments in Russia, including in the value of our ADSs and notes.
Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russian economy has experienced:
significant declines in gross domestic product;
hyperinflation;
an unstable currency;
high government debt relative to gross domestic product;
a weak banking system providing limited liquidity to Russian enterprises;
high levels of loss-making enterprises that continued to operate due to the lack of effective bankruptcy proceedings;
significant use of barter transactions and illiquid promissory notes to settle commercial transactions;
widespread tax evasion;
growth of a black and grey market economy;
pervasive capital flight;
high levels of corruption and the penetration of organized crime into the economy;
significant increases in unemployment and underemployment; and
the impoverishment of a large portion of the Russian population.
The Russian economy has been subject to abrupt downturns. In particular, on August 17, 1998, in the face of a rapidly deteriorating economic situation, the Russian government defaulted on its ruble-denominated securities, the Central Bank of Russia stopped its support of the ruble and a temporary moratorium was imposed on certain hard currency payments. These actions resulted in an immediate and severe devaluation of the ruble and a sharp increase in the rate of inflation, a dramatic decline in the prices of Russian debt and equity securities and an inability of Russian issuers to raise funds in the international capital markets.
These problems were aggravated by the near collapse of the Russian banking sector after the events of August 17, 1998, as evidenced by the revocation of the banking licenses of a number of major Russian banks. This further impaired the ability of the banking sector to act as a consistent source of liquidity to Russian companies, and resulted in the losses of bank deposits in some cases. There can be no assurance that recent trends in the Russian economysuch as the increase in the gross domestic product, a relatively stable ruble, and a reduced rate of inflationwill continue or will not be abruptly reversed. Moreover, the recent
17
fluctuations in international oil and gas prices, the strengthening of the ruble in real terms relative to the U.S. dollar and the consequences of a relaxation in monetary Russias physical infrastructure is in very poor condition, which could disrupt normal business activity. As a general matter, Russias physical infrastructure largely dates back to Soviet times and has not been adequately funded and maintained over the past decade. Particularly affected are the rail and road networks, power generation and transmission; communication systems; and building stock. For example, during the winter of 2000-2001, electricity and heating shortages in Russias far-eastern Primorye region seriously disrupted the local economy. Road conditions throughout Russia are poor, with many roads not meeting minimum requirements for usability and safety. The deterioration of Russias physical infrastructure harms the national economy, disrupts the transportation of goods and supplies, adds costs to doing business in Russia and can interrupt business operations, and this could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our ADSs and notes.
Fluctuations in the global economy may adversely affect Russias economy, limiting our access to capital and adversely affecting the purchasing power of our customers and thus our business.policy, or other factors, could adversely affect Russias economy and our business in the future, particularly our expansion plans.
Russias economy is vulnerable to market downturns and economic slowdowns elsewhere in the world. As has happened in the past, financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in Russia and adversely affect the Russian economy. Additionally, because Russia produces and exports large amounts of natural gas and oil, the Russian economy is especially vulnerable to the price of natural gas and oil on the world markets and a decline in the price of natural gas and oil could slow or disrupt the Russian economy. These developments could severely limit our access to capital and could adversely affect the purchasing power of our customers and thus our business.
2.5.3. Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition
Inflation could increase our costs and decrease our operating margins.
The Russian economy has been characterized by high rates of inflation, including a rate of 84.4% in 1998, although, according to the Central Bank of Russia, it subsided to 15.1% during 2002. When the rate of inflation exceeds the rate of devaluation, resulting in real appreciation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar, we can experience inflation-driven increases in U.S. dollar terms of certain of our costs, such as salaries, which are sensitive to rises in the general price levels in Russia. In this situation, due to competitive pressures, we may not be able to raise the prices for our products sufficiently to preserve operating margins. Accordingly, high rates of inflation in Russia relative to the rate of devaluation could increase our costs and decrease our operating margins.

18
Accordingly, high rates of inflation in Russia relative to the rate of devaluation could increase our costs and decrease our operating margins.
Changes in exchange rates could increase our costs, decrease the value of our ruble-denominated monetary assets, prevent us from repaying our debts, or increase competition from foreign producers.
Over the past several years, the ruble has fluctuated dramatically against the U.S. dollar, in the great majority of instances falling in value. The Russian Central Bank has from time to time imposed various currency-trading restrictions in attempts to support the ruble. The ability of the Russian government and the Russian Central Bank to maintain a stable ruble will depend on many political and economic factors. These include their ability to finance budget deficits without recourse to monetary emissions, to control inflation and to maintain sufficient foreign currency reserves to support the ruble.
A significant portion of our costs and expenditures, including costs of packaging, juice concentrate and certain other raw materials, as well as capital expenditures and borrowings (including the $150 million loan we received in connection with our May 2003 Eurobond offer) are either denominated in or tightly linked to the U.S. dollar or euro, while substantially all of our revenues are denominated in rubles. As a result, devaluation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar or the euro can adversely affect us by increasing our U.S. dollar or euro costs in ruble terms. If we cannot increase our ruble prices in line with ruble devaluation due to competitive pressures, this will lead to a loss of revenue and income in U.S. dollar terms. Additionally, if the ruble declines and prices cannot keep pace, we could have difficulty covering our dollar- or euro-denominated costs or repaying our U.S. dollar- or euro-denominated indebtedness. The devaluation of the ruble also results in losses in the value of ruble-denominated monetary assets, such as ruble deposits and accounts receivable.
The decline in the value of the ruble against the U.S. dollar also reduces the U.S. dollar value of tax savings arising from tax incentives for capital investment and the depreciation of our property, plant and equipment since their basis for tax purposes is denominated in rubles at the time of the investment or acquisition. Increased tax liability would increase our total expenses.
On the other hand, a strengthening of the ruble results in a relative decrease in the price of imported products, as does a strengthening of the ruble in real terms (even if it declines in nominal terms). The strengthening of the ruble in nominal or real terms enhances our ability to import raw materials, to cover our U.S. dollar-denominated or U.S. dollar-linked costs and to repay our U.S. dollar-denominated indebtedness, but also increases the ability of foreign producers who export products to Russia to compete effectively with us in the Russian market.
Our inability to obtain permission from the Central Bank of Russia pursuant to currency control regulations may hinder our ability to enter into certain hard-currency-denominated transactions.
Certain payments in foreign currency are subject to prior permission by the Central Bank of Russia, including, with various exceptions, the following:
direct investments, except investments from abroad in the charter capital of a Russian company;
payments with respect to real estate, except acquisition of real estate by non-residents and lease payments by
non-residents;
portfolio investments; and
payments for export-import transactions with settlement over 90 days following completion.
19
These regulations are subject to substantial changes and varying interpretations, complicating both the process of determining whether permission of the Central Bank of Russia is required and the process of obtaining permission. If we are unable to obtain Central Bank of Russia permissions for hard-currency-denominated transactions requiring such permissions, our ability to enter into such transactions may be hindered. In addition, in the event that we failed in the past to obtain Central Bank of Russia permissions for hard-currency-denominated transactions and borrowings requiring such permissions, such failure could result in severe penalties, including the unwinding of such transactions, fines and administrative penalties assessed against us and criminal and administrative penalties assessed against our management which, in turn, would negatively affect our business. Restrictions on investments outside Russia or in hard-currency-denominated instruments in Russia expose our cash holdings to devaluation.
Though our ability to place foreign currency deposits in Russian banks is not limited, currency regulations established by the Central Bank of Russia restrict investments by Russian companies outside Russia and in most
hard-currency-denominated instruments in Russia, and there are only a limited number of ruble-denominated instruments in which we may invest our excess cash. Any balances maintained in rubles will give rise to losses if the ruble devalues against
the U.S. dollar. Moreover, defaults on our ruble-denominated investments may result in substantial losses for us.
Some of our customers and other debtors may fail to pay us or to comply with the terms of their agreements with us which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Russias inexperience with a market economy relative to more developed economies poses numerous risks that could interfere with our business. For example, the failure to satisfy liabilities is widespread among Russian businesses and the government. Furthermore, it is difficult for us to gauge the creditworthiness of some of our customers, as there are no reliable mechanisms, such as reliable credit reports or credit databases, for evaluating their financial condition. Consequently, we face the risk that some of our customers or other debtors will fail to pay us or fail to comply with the terms of their agreements with us, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Continued or increased limitations on the conversion of rubles to hard currency in Russia could increase our costs when making payments in hard currency to suppliers and creditors and could cause us to default on our obligations to them.
Our major capital expenditures are generally denominated and payable in various foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars and euro. To the extent such major capital expenditures involve the importation of equipment and related items, Russian legislation permits the conversion of ruble revenues into foreign currency. However, the market in Russia for the conversion of rubles into foreign currencies is limited. The scarcity of foreign currencies may tend to inflate their values relative to the ruble, and such a market may not continue to exist.
Additionally, any delay or other difficulty in converting rubles into a foreign currency to make a payment or delay or restriction in the transfer of foreign currency could limit our ability to meet our payment and debt obligations, which could result in the loss of suppliers, acceleration of debt obligations and cross-defaults.
If the various initiatives we have used to reduce our tax burden are successfully challenged by the Russian tax authorities, we will face significant losses associated with the assessed amount of tax underpaid and related interest and penalties, which would have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We have used, and continue to use, various initiatives to reduce our tax burden. As described below, several of our tax initiatives have recently been challenged by the Russian tax authorities. There have also been press reports of instances in which the Russian tax
20
authorities have successfully challenged structures similar to those we use. If any of our initiatives are successfully challenged by the Russian tax authorities, we would face significant losses associated with the assessed amount of tax underpaid and related interest and penalties. These losses could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are only able to conduct banking transactions with a limited number of creditworthy Russian banks as the Russian banking system remains underdeveloped. Consequently, we face increased risk in our domestic banking transactions, including potential tax liabilities.
Russias banking and other financial systems are not well developed or regulated and Russian legislation relating to banks and bank accounts is subject to varying interpretations and inconsistent applications. In addition, the 1998 financial crisis resulted in the bankruptcy and liquidation of many Russian banks. Most creditworthy Russian banks are located in Moscow and there are fewer in the regions. Although we have tried to reduce our risk by receiving and holding funds in a number of Russian banks, including subsidiaries of foreign banks, another prolonged banking crisis or insolvency of some of our banks could adversely affect our business and our ability to complete banking transactions in Russia.
Vaguely drafted Russian transfer pricing rules and lack of reliable pricing information may potentially impact thefinancial results of our business activities.
Russian transfer pricing rules entered into force in 1999, giving Russian tax authorities the right to make transfer pricing adjustments and impose additional tax liabilities in respect of all controlled transactions, provided that the transaction price differs from the market price by more than 20.0%. Controlled transactions include transactions between related entities and certain other types of transactions between independent parties, such as foreign trade transactions or transactions with significant (by more than 20.0%) price fluctuations. The Russian transfer pricing rules are vaguely drafted, leaving wide scope for interpretation by Russian tax authorities and arbitration courts. Due to the uncertainties in interpretation of transfer pricing legislation, the tax authorities may challenge our prices and propose adjustments. If such price adjustments are upheld by the Russian arbitration courts and implemented, our future financial results could be adversely affected. In addition, we could face significant losses associated with the assessed amount of prior tax underpaid and related interest and penalties, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in both foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign currency exchange risks exist to the extent that our revenues are primarily denominated in Russian rubles and our costs are denominated in currencies other than Russian rubles. We are subject to market risk deriving from changes in interest rates on our floating and fixed rate debts which may affect the cost of our financing. We do not use financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency options, interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements, to manage these market risks. We do not hold or issue derivatives or other financial instruments for trading purposes. We do not use derivatives or other financial instruments to limit our currency and interest rate risk exposures because the market for these types of financial instruments in Russia is not well developed and the costs of these instruments is relatively high. We are monitoring the market for these instruments and will consider their use if the related costs become lower.
Our interest rate exposure results mainly from debt obligations.
21
Our fixed-rate bank debt consists entirely of short-term bank obligations, which we roll over on a continuous basis at current market rate and, thus, are able to manage our interest rate risk exposure.
We have not entered into transactions designed to hedge against interest rate risks, which may exist under our current, or future, indebtedness. Once the market in Russia for hedging instruments matures, we will assess our options for hedging interest rate risk and may enter into such arrangements.
We have not experienced significant changes in the market risks associated with our debt obligations in the table above subsequent to December 31, 2002, except for the issuance of 1.5 billion of ruble-denominated bonds on April 15, 2003.
The carrying amounts of short-term loans approximate their fair values due to their short maturity. We believe that the carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value.
We are exposed to movements in the ruble and euro exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar.
Weaknesses relating to the Russian legal system and Russian legislation create an uncertain environment for investment and for business activity.
Russia is still developing the legal framework required by a market economy. Several fundamental Russian laws have only recently become effective. The recent nature of much of Russian legislation, the lack of consensus about the scope, content and pace of economic and political reform and the rapid evolution of the Russian legal system in ways that may not always coincide with market developments place the enforceability and underlying constitutionality of laws in doubt and result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies. In addition, Russian legislation often contemplates implementing regulations that have not yet been promulgated, leaving substantial gaps in the regulatory infrastructure.
Among the risks of the current Russian legal system are:
since 1991, Soviet law has been largely, but not entirely, replaced by a new legal regime as established by the 1993 Federal Constitution, the 1995 Civil Code, by other federal laws, and by decrees, orders and regulations issued by the president, the government and federal ministries, which are, in turn, complemented by regional and local rules and regulations. These legal norms, at times, overlap or contradict one another. In addition, certain important bills remain to be adopted in Russia;
there is a lack of judicial and administrative guidance on interpreting Russian legislation;
corruption within the judiciary;
the relative inexperience of judges and courts in interpreting Russian legislation;
a high degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities; and
bankruptcy procedures are not well developed and are subject to abuse.
All of these weaknesses could affect our ability to enforce our rights to intellectual property or under contracts, or to defend ourselves against claims by others. Furthermore, we cannot assure you the regulators, judicial authorities or third parties will not challenge our compliance with applicable laws, decrees and regulations.
Lack of independence and the inexperience of the judiciary, the difficulty of enforcing court decisions and governmental discretion in instigating, joining and enforcing claims could prevent us or you from obtaining effective redress in a court proceeding, materially adversely affecting an investment in our ADSs and notes.
22
The independence of the judicial system and its immunity from economic, political and nationalistic influences in Russia remain largely untested. The court system is understaffed and underfunded. Judges and courts are generally inexperienced in the area of business and corporate law. Judicial precedents generally have no binding effect on subsequent decisions. Not all Russian legislation and court decisions are readily available to the public or organized in a manner that facilitates understanding. The Russian judicial system can be slow. Enforcement of court orders can in practice be very difficult in Russia. All of these factors make judicial decisions in Russia difficult to predict and effective redress uncertain.
Additionally, court claims are often used in furtherance of political aims. We may be subject to such claims and may not be able to receive a fair hearing. Additionally, court orders are not always enforced or followed by law enforcement agencies.
These uncertainties also extend to property rights. During Russias transformation from a centrally planned economy to a market economy, legislation has been enacted to protect private property against expropriation and nationalization. However, it is possible that due to the lack of experience in enforcing these provisions and due to potential political changes, these protections would not be enforced in the event of an attempted expropriation or nationalization, or if our business is reorganized. Some government entities have tried to renationalize privatized businesses. Expropriation or nationalization of any of our entities, their assets or portions thereof, potentially without adequate compensation, would have a material adverse effect on our business and on the value of our ADSs and notes.
Shareholder liability under Russian legislation could cause us to become liable for the obligations of our subsidiaries.
The Civil Code and the Federal Law on Joint Stock Companies generally provide that shareholders in a Russian joint stock company are not liable for the obligations of the joint stock company and bear only the risk of loss of their investment.
This may not be the case, however, when one person or entity is capable of determining decisions made by another. The person or entity capable of determining such decisions is called an effective parent. The person or entity whose decisions are capable of being so determined is called an effective subsidiary. The effective parent bears joint and several responsibility for transactions concluded by the effective subsidiary in carrying out these decisions if
this decision-making capability is provided for in the charter of the effective subsidiary or in a contract between the companies, and
the effective parent gives obligatory directions to the effective subsidiary.
In addition, an effective parent is secondarily liable for an effective subsidiarys debts if an effective subsidiary becomes insolvent or bankrupt resulting from the action or inaction of an effective parent. This is the case no matter how the effective parents capability to determine decisions of the effective subsidiary arises. For example, this liability could arise through ownership of voting securities or by contract. In these instances, other shareholders of the effective subsidiary may claim compensation for the effective subsidiarys losses from the effective parent which caused the effective subsidiary to take action(s) or fail to take action(s) knowing that such action(s) or failure to take action(s) would result in losses. Accordingly, in our position as effective parent of the subsidiaries in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the charter capital, we could be liable, in the cases described above, for their debts.
Shareholder rights provisions under Russian law may impose additional costs on us, which could cause our financial results to suffer.
The taxation system in Russia is subject to frequent changes and inconsistent enforcement at the federal, regional and local levels. In some instances, new tax rules have been given
23
retroactive effect. In addition to our substantial tax burden, these conditions complicate our tax planning and related business decisions. For example, tax laws are unclear with respect to the deductibility of certain expenses and at times we have taken a position that is aggressive in this regard, but that we consider to be in compliance with current law. This uncertainty exposes us to significant fines and penalties and to enforcement measures despite our best efforts at compliance, and could result in a greater than expected tax burden. To date, the system of tax collection has been relatively ineffective, resulting in the continual imposition of new taxes in an attempt to raise government revenues. These factors raise the risk of a sudden imposition of arbitrary or onerous taxes on us. This could adversely affect the value of our ADSs and notes. There is a risk of imposition of new taxes on us, which could adversely affect the price or value of our ADSs and notes. During 2000, 2001 and 2002, the Russian government undertook a revision of the Russian tax system and passed certain laws implementing tax reform. The new laws reduce the number of taxes and the overall tax burden on businesses and simplify the tax laws. However, the new tax laws continue to rely heavily on the judgments of local tax officials and fail to address many existing problems. Many issues associated with the practical application of new legislation are unclear and this complicates our tax planning and related business decisions. This uncertainty may expose us to fines and penalties. Even if further reforms of the Tax Code are enacted, they may not result in significant reduction of the tax burden for Russian companies and the establishment of a more efficient tax system. Conversely, additional tax collection measures may be introduced. Accordingly, we may have to pay significantly higher taxes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In the event that minority shareholders were to contest successfully existing, or were to prevent future, approval of transactions among our subsidiaries which require special approval in accordance with Russian legislation, this could limit our operational flexibility and adversely affect our results of operations.
We own less than 100% of a number of our subsidiaries, including our most important subsidiary, Lianozovo Dairy Plant. Under Russian law, certain transactions defined as interested party transactions require approval by disinterested directors or shareholders of the companies involved. Interested party transactions include transactions in which a member of the board of directors, an officer of a company or any person that owns, together with any affiliates of that person, at least 20% of a companys voting shares, or any person that is entitled to give binding instructions to a company, is interested, if that person, or that persons relatives or affiliates, is:
a party to, or a beneficiary of, a transaction with the company, whether directly or as a representative or
intermediary;
the owner of at least 20% of the issued voting shares of a legal entity that is a party to, or a beneficiary of, a
transaction with the company, whether directly or as a representative or intermediary; or
a member of the board of directors or an officer of a company which is a party to, or a beneficiary of, a transaction
with the company, whether directly or as a representative or intermediary.
In addition, certain transactions between members of a consolidated corporate group may be considered interested party transactions under Russian law even when the companies involved are wholly-owned by the parent company. While we generally endeavor to obtain all corporate approvals required under Russian law to consummate transactions, we have not
24
always applied special approval procedures in connection with our consummation of transactions with or between our subsidiaries. In the event that a claim is filed in relation to certain transactions with or between our subsidiaries, suchtransactions are found to have been interested party transactions, and we are found to have failed to obtain the appropriate approvals therefor, such transactions may be declared invalid. The unwinding of any transactions concluded with or between our subsidiaries may have a negative impact on our business and results of operation.
2.5.5. Risks Relating to Our Business
At present, however, we do not carry insurance for business interruption or for third party liability in respect of property or environmental damage arising from accidents. In the event that a major event were to affect one of our facilities, we could experience substantial property loss and significant disruptions in our production capacity which, in turn, could cause significant harm to our operations and profitability. For example, if substantial production capacity were lost at Lianozovo Dairy Plant, which is our primary production facility, we would not be able to replace a substantial portion of this capacity with capacity from our other plants, potentially resulting in the interruption of the production of a number of our products. We do not maintain separate funds or otherwise set aside reserves for these types of events.
A number of our subsidiaries purchase equipment which they then, in turn, lease to raw material producers. In addition, many of our dairy plants that also produce juice products, including the Lianozovo Dairy Plant, lease equipment to juice producers. Prior to February 11, 2002, when the new Federal Law on Licensing of Certain Types of Activities became effective, Russian legislation required a license for financial leasing activities, but it is unclear whether this requirement extended to our leasing activities. Although leasing activities are no longer subject to licensing, in the event that the relevant governmental authorities were to successfully claim that a license was required for our past leasing activities, we would be subject to significant negative consequences such as the potential liquidation of the leasing entity and invalidation of the relevant contracts.
If any of our subsidiaries is forced into liquidation due to negative net equity, our results of operations could suffer.
In accordance with Russian legislation, in the event that a companys net assets, as stated in the annual balance sheet prepared under Russian accounting standards, fall below the minimum charter capital required by law, the company must voluntarily liquidate. Should the company fail to act, its creditors may accelerate their claims or demand early performance of obligations and demand payment of damages, and governmental authorities may seek the involuntary liquidation of the company.
Our expansion strategy depends, in part, on funding growth in additional markets, on our ability to identify attractive opportunities in markets that will grow and on our ability to manage the operations of acquired or newly established businesses. Should growth decline in our existing markets, not increase as anticipated in markets in which we have recently acquired or established businesses, or not increase in markets into which we subsequently expand, our geographic expansion strategy may not be successful and our business and profitability may suffer.
25
Our strategy depends on us being a large manufacturer in the dairy and juice sectors so that we can benefit from economies of scale, better satisfy customer needs and compete effectively against other producers. Our growth will suffer if we are unable to implement our acquisition strategy, whether because we fail to identify suitable targets, outbid competing bidders or finance acquisitions on acceptable terms or for any other reason. Furthermore, any acquisitions or similar arrangements may harm our business if we are unsuccessful in our integration process or fail to achieve the synergies and savings we expect.
Our business expansion strategy contemplates our entry into new product categories, development of new products and marketing new brands in existing product lines. This strategy is designed to increase our market share and revenues by increasing consumer demand in our existing markets and entering into new market segments. The success of this strategy depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate the tastes and dietary habits of consumers and to offer products that appeal to their preferences. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react to changes in consumer preferences and consequent failure successfully to develop new brands, products and product categories could negatively affect our expansion strategy and have a significant adverse effect on our revenues.
The food industrys growth potential is constrained by population growth, which has been falling in Russia. Our success depends in part on our ability to expand our business faster than populations are growing in the markets that we serve, or notwithstanding declines in the populations in those markets. One way to achieve that growth is to enhance our portfolio by adding products and greater production capacity in faster growing and more profitable categories. If we do not succeed in making these enhancements, our results of operations may suffer.
The demand for our dairy products is significantly higher during the winter months, when Russian raw milk production is at its lowest. Conversely, during the summer months we generally experience depressed demand for dairy products in many markets, while raw milk production is at its peak. If we are unable to mitigate this inverse relationship successfully, either through the purchase of raw milk during the winter at commercially competitive prices or through the use of dry milk, our production costs will increase significantly in the winter, reducing our profitability.
We also compete with other brands for shelf space in retail stores and marketing focus by our independent distributors and retailers, and our independent distributors and retailers offer other products, sometimes including their own brands, that compete directly with our products. If independent distributors and retailers give higher priority to other brands, purchase less of, or even refuse to buy, our products, seek substantial discounts, or devote inadequate promotional support to our brands, it could materially and adversely affect our turnover and reduce our competitiveness and profitability.
Our management information system is significantly less developed in certain respects than those of food producers in more developed markets and may not provide our management with as much or as accurate information as those in more developed markets. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing our
26
management information system. Our inability to maintain an adequate management information system may adversely affect our business.
Given the importance of brand recognition to our business, we have invested considerable effort in protecting our portfolio of intellectual property rights, including trademark registration. However, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will be sufficient or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights.
Moreover, Russia and the other countries of the CIS in which we operate generally offer less intellectual property protection than in Western Europe or North America.
Increased domestic production by our foreign competitors could reduce our competitive advantages against them, which would adversely affect our market share and results of operations.
A number of our foreign competitors, such as Danone, Parmalat, Campina, Ehrmann, Onken, and Pascuale, have begun to invest in domestic production facilities, beginning to reduce the competitive advantages that we have over foreign competitors without domestic production capability. If this trend continues, we will lose a significant advantage that we currently have, as a domestic producer, over our foreign competitors, which would adversely affect our market share and results of operation.

Issue is established for an indefinite term
Open Joint-Stock Company Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods (hereinafter referred to as the Issuer or the Company) was registered on May 31, 2001. The purpose of its creation was to consolidate several production and trading companies, whose shares had been privately owned by a group of persons and were transferred to the Company by including them in authorized capital during its creation in 2001. Control over and management of the WBD Group are the Issuers principal areas of activity. In keeping with Article 4 of the Issuers Charter, The main purpose of the Company is to fully satisfy the demand of legal entities and private persons in products (works, services), produced (performed, provided) in accordance with its charter activity, and to receive profits. On February 14, 2002, OJSC Wimm-Bill- Dann Foods completed the public issue of and registered common shares represented by American depositary receipts (ADR) at the New York Stock Exchange under the WBD symbol. Each ADR represents one basic common share of the Company.
The story of WBD Group began in 1992, when the first company owned by a group of persons rented a production line at the Lianozovo Dairy and purchased the first lot of juice concentrates and packaging materials. November 25, 1992 WBD Group produced its first pack of juice under the Wimm-Bill-Dann brand. This name had been chosen in order to attract consumers, who at that point preferred imported products due to their novelty to the market, and also because of the prevailing belief in the higher quality of imported goods. From the very first appearance on the market the name Wimm-Bill-Dann turned into a brand, known to and popular among the majority of Russian consumers.

3.2.2. Issues primary activity
Food industry has gained maximum advantages as a result of devaluation of the ruble in 1998 and steady growth of the populations real earnings in the last three years. Besides, the increasing flow of direct investment in the industry has led to a better quality of Russian-made products and their higher competitiveness. Regardless of the rising rate of the ruble in real terms, the share of imported goods in the consumption structure is about 3%. Thus competition in food industry
28
is mainly centered around Russian brands. As a result, the rate of growth in food industry was the highest in the Russian economy, amounting to 11.5% in 2000 and 11.2% in 2001. Mindful of the expected GDP growth by 4-4.5% and 8% rise of the populations real earnings in 2002, growth in food industry may exceed 9.5%.
There are sufficient grounds to hope that the industrys consolidation, higher quality of products, and expected annual 5-6% rise in real earnings will help food industry remain among the leaders of Russias economic growth. The flow of foreign investment in the industry that has amounted to two-thirds of the total direct foreign investments in Russia in the last two years also confirms this assumption.
Recent industrial developments show that the consolidation of food industry is likely to bring about the emergence of large domestic producers capable of competing effectively on the market.
On the other hand, one may expect increasing competition on the part of foreign companies such as Danone, Parmalat, Campina and Erhmann that have set up the production of dairy products in Russia. Their market advantages include a large advertisement budget, advanced know-how for new products promotion, and access to cheap financial resources.
Foreign companies have also been expanding the variety of products. In the past their products were basically oriented toward the narrow premium segment (in the upper price bracket) whereas today foreign companies products are also designated for the mass consumer with an average income.
The primary area of the Companys operations is control over and management of a group of its subsidiaries and other affiliated companies specified in this Prospectus, which manufacture and sell milk (dairy) products and juices (drinks, nectars) (hereinafter, in combination with the Company, referred to as the WBD Group). The Issuer also offers licensing agreements on the use of trademarks in its ownership. At that, the Issuers current and future operations plans are inseparably linked up with those of the WBD Group.
The Wimm-Bill-Dann Group is a major manufacturer of dairy products and juices. Around 70% of its revenue comes from the sales of dairy products and the rest 30%, from the sales of juices.
Since its establishment in 1992, the WBD Group has been a leader on the Russian market of dairy and juice-containing products. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine large Russian cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, in December 2001-January 2002, the WBD Group was in the lead on all packaged dairy products markets (with the exception of pasteurized milk): its share on the domestic market of traditional dairy products constituted 33%, in enriched milk products sales, 41%, and in yogurt and milk desserts sales, 46%. AC Nielsens study carried out in eleven large Russian cities showed that in 2001 the WBD Groups share in the total domestic sales of juices reached 37.5% and 49.1% in Moscow, the main Russian juice consumer. The twenty manufacturing facilities of the WBD Group are located in fifteen Russian and CIS cities; its distribution network covers 26 cities in the CIS, Germany, Israel, and Netherlands.
The main objective of the WBD Group is to provide consumers with top-quality food by way of a careful selection of raw materials, use of modern production technologies, and strict quality controls. All its products are manufactured on the basis of the Companys own recipes mindful of domestic consumers preferences and tastes.
1. Forecast of Future Developments on the Dairy Market.
The further consolidation of dairy and juice industry and stronger competition with foreign companies operating in Russia are likely to be major market tendencies. Given below is a segment-based market development forecast.
29
Milk is one of the most widespread food products in Russia popular among all age groups regardless of location and income. The milk market as a whole will develop steadily with a 5-percent annual consumption growth resulting from a rise in the gross yield and processing of milk in all categories of producers.
In spite of all its advantages, pasteurized milk prevalent on the market has an essential drawback a short shelf life, which makes it less attractive for retail trade. Consequently, the share of this type of milk is expected to go down in favor of sterilized milk. In addition, sterilized milk will be replaced by a new generation of the product without the specific sterilization after-taste, its shelf life over two weeks without cooling or cold storage.
Kefir (fermented milk, a traditional Russian dairy product). It is the most popular dairy product in Russia. Growth in the segment will result from changes in the consumption structure in favor of biokefirs, their production currently organized by local manufacturers. The consumption of traditional kefir is expected to decline
Curds (cottage cheese). The market is stable. An average 2-percent rise will be determined by the development of dairy production in general. Consumers are likely to switch over to curds desserts, which may reduce the consumption of traditional curds.
Rural and small town dwellers are primary consumers of ryazhenka (fermented baked milk) and bonnyclabber. Unlike bonnyclabber, ryazhenka is also popular among the population of large cities. The bonnyclabber segment is expected to shrink due to the reduction of rural population and decrease in the regional consumption of the product.
Cream. The main feature of the market is the reduction of the share of pasteurized cream in the total output because of a short shelf life and the growing share of sterilized cream. Consumption rise will mainly depend on the rate of income growth.
Butter. As a whole, the market development rate is expected to be 2-4% a year. A rise in butter consumption is unlikely to exceed 1-2%, the main growth factor being an increase in the production of margarine and combined varieties of butter, spreads, by 4-5% a year.
Viscous yogurt. It is one of the most dynamic segments of the dairy market. The development and growth of the viscous yogurt market in 2002-2003 will result from developing local production, Western producers coming out on the market (Pascual and Onken), and a rise in regional consumption. Unique products with new flavors, additives, useful properties, and biocultures will be the most dynamic part of the segment.
Potable yogurt. The segment is expected to develop dynamically since the market is still far from saturation, youth and teenagers consumption culture is still taking shape, and consumers are switching over to the product from traditional flavored kefir.
Viscous milk desserts. The market is still underdeveloped. It has more imported products than other markets. Yet, gradually, Russian manufacturers are turning to the production of viscous milk desserts. Underdeveloped consumption culture restrains consumption growth.
Liquid desserts. The market is sufficiently developed. Major consumers include both young people and children as well as adults. The segment will develop as a result of a rise in consumption among teenagers.
Juice and dairy products. It is the most dynamic category of milk products. It has a considerable growth potential due to the populations striving for a healthy life style and consumption of low-fat vitamin-fortified products.
Curds desserts. The segment is developing rapidly given the traditional character of curds. A rise in the segment will mainly depend on the rate of growth of real earnings and consumers switching over from traditional cottage cheese to curds desserts.
30
Chocolate-coated cheese curds. Consumption culture in large cities is well-developed. Producers regional expansion and a wider variety of the products are expected to provide for the segments growth.
Condensed milk. It is a traditional food product used in pastry cooking. The market is developed. There are large and well-known producers. Growth can be achieved through a wider variety of products, new flavors, and new types of packaging.
2. Forecast of Future Developments on the Juice and Juice-Containing Products Market.
The markets growth will continue although the rate of growth may slow down. Yet it will remain high enough. Market capacity in 2001 was 1,100,000,000 liters a 44-percent rise in comparison with the previous year. In 2002 juice consumption was supposed to increase by 26-30% and reach around 1,400,000,000 liters. The expected rise for 2003 is 20%.
The juice markets growth results from the improvement of the economic situation in Russia, rising per capita income, and emergence of consumption culture with juice regarded as tasty and healthy food. Per capita consumption rose from 8 liters in 2001 to 10 liters in 2002. In large cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg) juice consumption is nearing European standards while Russias average per capita consumption of juices is twice lower than in Europe.
Stronger competition provoked by major manufacturers considerably expanded capacities will be the main market tendency in 2003. Consequently, the juice market is expected to consolidate further in the hands of four principal players that are likely to increase their market share at the expense of small regional producers whose share may go down to 5%.

3.2.5. Markets for products (works, services) of the issuer
Due to the specifics of the Issuers primary activity, the market for its services is determined by the number and location of the WBD Group facilities. A decline in the financial position of WBD Group businesses may be the only negative factor influencing the Issuers market of services. Today the WBD Groups main market is the territory of the Russian Federation. The Issuer intends to expand the market geographically. The only major factor of possible decrease in demand for the Groups products would be a sharp decrease in the populations purchasing capacity, since the Groups products belong to the convenience category. The possibility of stronger competition on the part of both domestic and foreign manufacturers of dairy and juice products is another negative factor.
Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods Open Joint-Stock Company provides consultation services, as well as grants rights to use trademarks it owns through conclusion of license agreement both in the territory of the Russian Federation and in CIS countries: Kirgyzstan and Ukraine.

3.2.7. Raw materials
Our success depends in part on our continued ability to be an efficient producer in a highly competitive industry. If we cannot continue to control costs through productivity gains or by eliminating redundant costs resulting from acquisitions, our results of operations will suffer. In particular, price increases and shortages of packaging and raw materials could adversely affect our results of operations. For example, our results of operations may be affected by the availability and pricing of packaging materials, principally cardboard and plastic containers, and raw materials, principally raw milk and juice concentrate. We are substantially dependent upon a single supplier of packaging materials, Tetra Pak, which may make us more vulnerable to changes in global supply and demand and their effect on price and availability of these materials. In addition, we are currently renegotiating certain pricing terms in our framework agreement with Tetra Pak pursuant to which we purchase packaging materials. Failure to conclude an agreement on commercially reasonable terms would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, weather conditions and other factors beyond our control significantly influence the price and availability of our raw materials. A number of our raw materials, such as juice
concentrate and sugar, are international commodities and are subject to international price fluctuations.
A substantial increase in the prices of any of the foregoing, which we may not be able to pass on to customers through price increases, or a protracted interruption in supply with respect to packaging or raw materials, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The main raw materials we use to produce our dairy and juice products include the following:
raw milk, which we generally obtain from domestic farmers;
dry milk, which we generally obtain from small domestic producers or import;
bacteria cultures, which we generally import, although we have begun to develop our own cultures;
flavorings and sweeteners, which we generally import;
juice concentrate and juice puree, which we primarily import, but also purchase domestically; and
other ingredients such as frozen fruits and stabilizers.
The prices of each of the foregoing raw materials are generally volatile.
Our purchasing policy is to increase the share of locally produced food raw materials that satisfy our quality standards.
We have focused on developing partnerships with established leaders in the field of local food production, including the leading Russian raw milk, dry milk, fruit and sugar producers.
33
In each region where we require raw milk, we establish direct supply contracts with local individual farmers and collective farms. We have also begun entering into more purchasing arrangements with Russian suppliers of raw materials in the juice sector. In 2002 we also acquired Depsona, a fruit juice and concentrate producer in Central Russia, which will allow us to reduce our dependence on imported juice concentrates. We purchase substantially all of our raw materials directly and do not engage in a significant amount of barter transactions. We also purchase certain raw materials such as bacteria cultures, juice concentrate and flavorings from foreign manufacturers due to the unavailability of products of appropriate quality locally. We use quality raw materials, supplied by producers from approximately 25 countries such as Cargill (U.S.), Quatrale (Brazil), Jahncke (Germany), Givaudan (Germany), Hahn (Germany), Wild (Germany), and Firmenich (Switzerland). Our flagship J-7 juice line, the best-selling juice brand in Russia, was created with consulting assistance from Cargill, the worlds largest supplier of juice concentrates.
By virtue of its primary mission control, management, and services in the interests of the WBD Group the Issuer does not have competitors. Consequently, it would be impossible to analyze the Issuers market share and its competitiveness factors in terms of their importance and with an allowance for factor ratings.
The principal competitors of the WBD Group on traditional and enriched dairy products markets include Russian producers such as Petmol (St. Petersburg), Ostankinsky, Ochakovsky, and Cherkizovsky Dairies (Moscow) as well as small manufacturers in Russian regions. On the market of vitamin-fortified dairy products, the WBD Group competes mainly with Danone. As for yogurts, milk desserts, and, to some extent, dairy products for children, the main competitors of the WBD Group are foreign companies such as Danone, Campina, Onken XXX Ehrmann.
In the Issuers opinion, the WBD Group is expected to compete with the following companies on the dairy market in the near future:
1) Danone of France: the most active foreign company in Russia, pursuing an aggressive advertisement policy. It owns a dairy in the Volga region that produces natural yogurt, fruit-flavored yogurt, and kefir and a dairy in the Moscow region. The companys products, both imported and made in Russia, are sold under the Danone trademark all over the Russian Federation through its own distribution network. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine Russian cities, in 2001 Danones sales in the yogurt and milk dessert segment amounted to 12% and in vitamin-fortified dairy products, 5%;
2) Petmol of St. Petersburg: produces a wide variety of dairy products, concentrating however on yogurts and desserts. Petmols shares are publicly quoted at the Russian stock exchange. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine Russian cities, in 2001 the companys share was 9% in the traditional dairy segment and 8% in the yogurt and milk dessert segment while the share of Parmalat in the traditional dairy segment reached 2%;
3) Ochakovsky Dairy of Moscow: a major dairy producer in Russia and principal competitor of the WBD Group in Moscow. Its products are very popular among consumers. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen in nine Russian cities, in 2001 the companys share was 5% in the traditional dairy segment and 4% in the enriched products segment.

The principal competitors of the WBD Group on the domestic juice market include Parmalat of Italy and medium- and small-size Russian producers such as:
1) Multon of St. Petersburg: its share on the national and Moscow markets was 29 and 18.7% accordingly in 2001 as shown by the study conducted by AC Nielsen in eleven Russian cities. Dobry and Niko juice brands and other products of the company appeared on the Moscow market in 1998 and have won considerable market shares since then, primarily, due to an aggressive pricing policy;
2) Lebedyansky of the Lipetsk region: the companys share on the national and Moscow markets was 10.9 and 14.5% accordingly in 2001 as shown by the study conducted by AC Nielsen in eleven Russian cities. Its Tonus and Ya brands have become very popular among consumers and effectively compete with juices produced by local manufacturers;
3) Nidan-Ekofrukt of Novosibirsk: a Russian-US joint venture whose share was 6.4% both on the national and Moscow markets in 2001 according to AC Nielsens study carried out in eleven large Russian cities.

The WBD Group gets mineral water from an underground spring in Valdai. The region is famous for top-quality mineral water. There is a facility in Nizhny Novgorod that bottles small amounts of mineral water. The WBD Group is planning to start a serial production of mineral water early in 2003 and full-scale production in mid 2003. Historically, the consumption of noncarbonated mineral water has not been widespread in Russia. The situation, however, is radically changing under the effect of environmental factors. The consumption of bottled drinking water is growing rapidly in large Russian cities. The mineral water market is expanding not only in terms of volume but also in terms of a wider variety of products and new trademarks. Furthermore, the number of superior quality brands is growing, and the share of imported brands is going down. In the Issuers opinion, the WBD Groups principal competitors include Aqua Minerale (Pepsi trademark), BonAqua (Coca-Cola trademark) as well as Borzhomi, Narzan, and Svyatoi Istochnik produced at CIS facilities. The WBD Group is planning to position its new trademark in modern style by emphasizing the mineral origin of the water and produce it with different degrees of carbonation (still, medium-carbonated, and highly carbonated) in bottles of different sizes for consumers better choice.

Analysis of the WBD Groups Competitive Factors.
The WBD Group has a number of advantages over other Russian producers: high productive capacity, superior quality of products, high-level innovation, and opportunities for new products development and marketing. Other competitive advantages which, in the Issuers opinion, enable the WBD Group to retain its leading position on the Russian market, include: strong and diversified trademarks, unobstructed access to raw material sources, extensive sales network, emphasis on the development of new products, modern manufacturing facilities and technologies, external financing opportunities, and efficient leadership. The WBD Group intends to take advantage of those opportunities by pursuing a sales promotion strategy focused on superior quality products and development of new products that would not be inferior to their Western analogs in taste and consistence.
Some Russian producers, however, have certain advantages over the WBD Group, related to a lower cost of production and lower advertisement and shipment expenses. Recent industrial tendencies also show that the consolidation of the industry may lead to the emergence of large domestic producers capable of competing with the WBD Group on the market.
Foreign dairy producers have a large advertisement budget and advanced manufacturing know-how permits them to offer top-quality products made on the basis of up-to-date technologies through well-established sales systems. In the past foreign companies focused on concrete market niches, more often than not, on the premium segment (upper price range) whereas today they are increasingly turning to products for the average consumer with an average income. Besides, such companies as Danone, Parmalat, Campina, and Erhmann have begun investing in Russian manufacturing businesses, which may reduce the competitiveness of WBD Group products, for the competitors now have an opportunity to produce their commodities in Russia. For example, Danone, owning two Russian diaries, has put several yogurt brands on the Russian market, some of them developed specifically for Russian consumers. Campina of Netherlands, also owning a dairy in Russia, makes fresh yogurts and yogurts with a long shelf life. Erhmann of Germany makes yogurt at a Russian dairy, and Onken and Pascual, also foreign companies, are planning to open manufacturing facilities in Russia. As a result of the growing output of yogurts and milk desserts in Russia, the above foreign companies have become the WBD Groups principal competitors in this market segment.
Values of market shares that, in the Issuers opinion, it and its competitors have had (percentage) in the three full fiscal years preceding the date of approval of the decision to issue the bonds, or for each full fiscal year following the date of foundation provided the Issuer has been operating for less than three years:
3.2.9. Data in Issues licences held
Issue holds no licences
3.2.10. Data on Issues joint operation
None during reporting period
3.4. Plans of the Issuers Future Activities.
Due to the specifics of the Issuers primary area of operations, the Issuers future activities plans should include a higher efficiency of WBD Group management. The Issuers future activities plans are closely connected with the plans of WBD Group. The use of trademarks by WBD Group businesses, offered on the basis of licensing agreements, will constitute the Issuers main source of future income.
36
The WBD Group is constantly striving to dynamically develop its business and achieve further competitive advantages.
The growing dairy market demands an increase in production volumes without a decline in quality. An increase in juice production capacity is also planned.
One of the main competitive advantages of the WBD Group is its powerful and well-established network of independent distributors. In order to support the steady growth of sales, the construction of Cash&Carry stores will continue. The growth of additional income is planned through both promoting the primary brands of the WBD Group on the regional markets, and expanding the product range in order to fill major consumer segments, both in terms of flavors and prices.
In general, the plans of future activities of the Issuer and the WBD Group include an intention to fully satisfy the demand of legal entities and private persons in products (works, services), produced (performed, provided) in accordance with its Charter, and to receive profits.
To achieve these goals, the WBD Group will concentrate on the following areas of activity:
1) production of dairy products and juices. The Issuer is positive that the WBD Group has enough potential to retain and strengthen its leading position in this area;
2) higher efficiency of production. The WBD Group intends to improve the quality of its products, reduce costs, increase cash flows, and achieve a higher efficiency of work of its employees;
3) business growth resulting from the production of cheese. Domestic brands of cheese in the Russian Federation are mainly manufactured by small facilities producing traditional cheeses for mass consumption, characterized by low prices and inferior quality. Superior quality brands of hard and soft cheese are imported from Baltic states and other European countries. The WBD Group is planning to start the production of top-quality branded hard and soft cheeses in 2003.

The main type of WBD Foods OAO activities is the granting of rights to use trademarks under license agreements. The amount of the license fee depends on the total price of the products sold under the trademarks owned by WBD Foods OAO. The amount of the proceeds from granting of the rights to use trademarks owned by WBD Foods OAO increased in the 2nd quarter of 2003 as compared with the first quarter by 59,712 rubles and reduced in the third quarter as compared with the 2nd quarter by 32,472 rubles. These changes have been due to production of milk and juices in the 2nd quarter of 2003 sold under WBD Foods OAO trademarks. Some minor reduction of the share of management consultation services in the 3rd quarter of 2003 has been by reduction in volumes of such services.

The Company had a computer program registered (No. 2003611822 dated 30.07.2003).
Six Licensing Agreements have been registered, where the Issuer acts as the Licensor.
A permit (dated 02.07.2003) prolonged the validity term of the certificate for trademark No. 125261, originally to expire on August 31, 2003.
4.5. Analysis of the trends of development in the area of primary activity of Issue.
In several recent years an economic growth is observed in Russia. In 2000, the growth of Gross Domestic Product was 9%, in 2001 - 5,0 %, in 2002 the expected growth is about 4%. The development of the food industry is especially rapid. The increase of populations effective demand maintains the appeal of investments in Russia food industry, making it one of most dynamically developing economic sectors. The economic crisis of 1998, which closed the Russian market for import of foodstuff, however allowed to Russian companies to grow high and this made impossible the resumption of the same volumes of the delivery of foreign foodstuff, even if one takes into consideration a constant increase of the real rate of the Russian rouble. Presently, an average part of food imported into RF forms about 3% of the common consumption. By experts view, today the food sector is one most rapidly developing branches of the Russian economy. Networks of supermarkets prefer to lay in a stock Russian goods since they have lower prices and do not loose against their western analogues by the quality (and are even more attractive in some cases) . The creation of large holding companies with widely developed commercial networks and large production capacities and facilities in various regions is vitally important for food companies whose products cannot be transported for large distances and transport expenses often compose an essential part of the costs.
However, nobody can ensure that the last trends observed in the Russian economy, e.g., the increment of the Gross Domestic Product, relative stability of the rouble, and an insignificant inflation, will continue and that no sharp changes will take place in future. The oil and gas price fluctuations, strengthening of the real rouble rate with respect to US dollar, and consequences of a certain relaxation in the monetary politics may reflect adversely on the state of the Russian economy, the development of the food industry, and the future Issuers activities.
For a growth of the food industry the developed infrastructure is of large importance. The infrastructure objects of Russia, basically, were created in Soviet time and did not receive significant investments during the last decade. The infrastructure objects of railroads and transport roads, objects of power supply, communications, and housing stock infrastructure objects are in the most complicated state and situation. Federal Government carries out active work on reorganisation of the system of railroad, electric power, and telephone communications of the country. Any reorganisation of that kind may result in growth of tariff level on railroad transportation, electric power, and telephone services in combination with an impossibility to receive the expected income as concerns the investments necessary for carrying out repairs, technical maintenance, and modernisation of such systems. The ill-being of the Russian infrastructure objects deteriorates the country economy, results in stoppage in delivery of
48
goods and services, an increase of expenses related to business activities in Russia. A deterioration of the situation in the industry and situation of the Issuer in the industry can be a result of:
1) lowering effective demand of the population with respect to the products of WBD Group in view of deterioration of the financial and economic situation of population in the regions, consumers of food industry products produced by the WBD Group;
2) possible deterioration of the fulfilment of the Budget of Russian Federation due to large volume of payments implied by the external debt of Russia in 2003 and decrease of incomes of workers of budget sphere;
3) growth of the business competition in the industry.
By Issuers estimates, industrial risks are minimal for WBD Group companies. In the production of milk products and juices Wimm-Bill-Dann- Group is the leader of industry, controlling significant parts of market. To minimise the industry risks, Wimm-Bill-Dann Group acts as follows:
1) orientation to diversification of production;
2) long-term programs of production;
3) development of programs for lowering expenses related to production, active investment politics as concerns the technical and technological rearrangement of manufacturing capabilities and production basis in order to augment the competitive abilities and capacities of group companies.
Issuer is characterised by high level of credit quality and low level of credit risk. During 2001 and 9 months of 2002, the part of debt capital with respect to proper capital and reserves reduced from 3.44% to 0.07%. The creditworthiness of Issuer is ensured by high values of supplementary capital and also by the amount of the net wealth. Within 9 months of 2002 an almost 9 times increase of net wealth of Issuer took place with respect to 2001, the authorised capital stock risen from 700 million roubles up to 880 million roubles. Thus, Issuer improved significantly its financial situation.
We sell our products either directly to retailers, including supermarkets, grocery shops and restaurants, or to wholesalers for resale to retail outlets. We expect sales to independent retailers and wholesalers to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. Our operations and distribution costs could be affected by the increasing consolidation of these entities, particularly as these customers become more sophisticated and attempt to force lower pricing and increased promotional programs. For example, in the spring of 2001, several Russian supermarket chains formed a loose alliance which publicly announced its intention not to purchase our products Although these supermarket chains now purchase our products, there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so or that other supermarket chains will not attempt a similar consolidation of market power. This alliance also intends to seek price discounts from manufacturers. Additionally, a number of large Western retailers, such as the Turkish retailer Ramenka, the German retailer Metro and the French retailer Auchan, have already opened stores in the Moscow region, and we expect that these retailers will increase price competition.

Short description of the credit rating methodology;
Moodys Investors Service
For awarding of the credit rating, Moodys Investors Service uses the following methodology: evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative performance of the company; review of the fundamental performance having a long-term impact on the companys operations; research work with evaluation of the company by international parameters adjusted for the national specifics, including accounting standards, legal base, etc., as well as the industry specifics.
Standard & Poors
Depending on the issuer category and type of rating, Standard & Poors uses different methods of credit rating awards. In case of companies, they review business characteristics (market, competitive position, management and strategy), financial profile (financial policy, margins, capital structure, cash flows, financial flexibility). To award credit ratings, Standard & Poors experts use the methods of evaluating each company on the basis of the scale from one (the highest rating) to six (the lowest rating) points for each reviewed category compared against all other companies (irrespective of whether they are rated). There is no exact formula for aggregating the points thus defined into a single rating. The analysis variables are closely interconnected, and accents may be shifted in case, for example, of a separate review of the

credit risk degree for the liabilities of a company denominated in the national or foreign currency.

The procedure of determining of income (interest rate) on each bond
The interest rate on the first coupon will be determined according to the results of an auction held at MICEX.
The interest rate on the first coupon will be calculated as the sum of the following two components:
the level of inflation for the respective one-year period, defined as the Consumer Price Index of Russia for the calendar month ending no later than 45 days before the placement start date, as a percentage relative to the same of the preceding year, minus 100%. The CPI is calculated by the RF State Statistics Committee in accordance with a resolution of the RF State Statistics Committee dated March 25, 2002, monthly as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year;
an inflation premium.
The CPI will be published on the Troika Dialog Investment Company website (www.troika.ru) no later than 10 days before the placement start date.
On the day of the auction to determine the interest rate on the first coupon, members of the Stock Market Section of MICEX will submit orders for the auction using the MICEX trading system both at their own expense and at the expense and on the instructions of their clients. The time of submission of orders for the auction will be established by MICEX. Orders to buy bonds will be submitted by members of the stock market section of MICEX to the Underwriter with the following significant terms specified:
a.1) Purchase price: 100% of the face value;
a.2) Number of bonds that the potential buyer would like to acquire if the Issuer were to set an interest rate on the first coupon greater than or equal to the acceptable first-coupon interest rate specified in the order;
a.3) Acceptable interest rate on the first coupon. Acceptable interest rate on the first coupon means the interest rate at which, if such interest rate on the first coupon were announced by the Issuer, the potential investor would be prepared to buy the number of bonds specified in the order at the price of 100% of the face value. The acceptable interest rate on the first coupon shall be expressed in percent per annum to a precision of 1/100 (one-hundredth) of one percent;
Funds must be reserved in an amount sufficient to make full payment for the bonds specified in the orders, including MICEXs commission.
Orders in which one or more of the aforesaid significant terms do not conform to the requirements set forth in sections a.1a.3 and orders not backed by funds as provided in the preceding paragraph will not be accepted for the auction to determine the interest rate on the first coupon.
Upon the end of the submission period for orders for the auction to determine the interest rate on the first coupon, MICEX will prepare a register of the orders received and deliver the register to the Issuer and the Underwriter.
115
On the basis of an analysis of the orders submitted for the auction, the Issuer will adopt a resolution setting the interest rate on the first coupon and deliver a written copy of the adopted resolution to the Underwriter and MICEX.
The rate of interest on the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth (C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6) shall be calculated from the level of inflation for the corresponding one-year period (as defined below). The level of inflation shall be determined on the basis of the Consumer Price Index for Russia calculated monthly by the RF State Statistics Committee in accordance with RF State Statistics Committee Resolution No. 23 of March 25, 2002, as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year. The interest rate on each of the aforesaid coupons shall be calculated using the following formula:
Cj = (C1 - Inflation 12M1) + Inflation 12Mj,
where
Cj = the interest rate for the jth coupon in percent per annum, j = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;
C1 = interest rate of the first coupon, in percent per annum;
Inflation 12M1 = the CPI calculated by the RF State Statistics Committee for the calendar month ending no later than 45 days before the date of placement of the Bonds, as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year, minus 100%;
Inflation 12Mj = the CPI calculated by the RF State Statistics Committee for the calendar month ending no later than 45 days before the start date of the jth coupon period, as a percentage relative to the same month of the preceding year, minus 100%;
(C1 - Inflation 12M1) = the inflation premium calculated after determination of the interest rate on the first coupon to a precision of 1/100 (one-hundredth) of one percent;
The CPI is provided by the RF State Statistics Committee upon request. The CPI will be published on the website of Troika Dialog Investment Company (www.troika.ru) 10 days before the start of the respective coupon period.
If a negative value for Cj is obtained from the formula specified above, Cj shall be taken as equal to zero; if the obtained value of Cj is greater than 25%, Cj shall be taken as equal to 25%.
If, during the period of circulation of the Bonds, the official procedure for calculating the CPI and the normative act establishing the procedure for calculating the CPI are altered or the CPI is replaced by an index similar in purpose to the CPI, the interest rate for a coupon will be determined using the CPI (or its similar replacement) calculated in accordance with normative acts in force at the time of its calculation.
If information on the CPI is not published by the RF State Statistics Committee and not published on the Internet website of Troika Dialog Investment Company by the date necessary to calculate the interest rate for a coupon (as set forth above), the value of Inflation 12Mj for that coupon shall be taken as equal to the value of Inflation 12Mj for the preceding coupon.
