OREANDA-NEWS. Siguldas CMAS JSC Audited Annual Report for 2015.

The financial showings of the audited Annual Report are the same as in the Interim Report for the 12 month period. As attachment to the Annual Report there has been submitted the Independent Auditors’ Report.

The proportion of the revenue from the Company’s basic economic activities, if compared to year 2014, had not changed substantially ? the revenue from the sales of the bull semen comprised 51.5% of the net turnover, whereas the milk laboratory services and treatment of supervisory data services, taken together, accounted for 36.8% of the net turnover.

The Company’s net turnover in 2015 was 1.1 million euros, which is by 43 thousand euros or 3.8% less than in 2014.

In 2015 the revaluation of the investment properties into the actual value resulted in loss of 18 thousand euros, whereas in 2014 it accounted for earnings of 25 thousand euros.

Compared to 2014, the profit before taxes in the reporting year had decreased by 86 thousand euros, and was 97 thousand euros.

The Company’s commercial profitability in 2015 was 8.7%, 7.2% points down if compared to 2014.

The decrease of the net turnover and the increase of the trade receivables was effected both by the shrinking of the sales market in Russia, due to the sanctions imposed by Russia, and the lifting of quotas on milk production by the European Union in 2015, directly influencing both the milk prices and the market conjuncture, which consequently ? due to the lowering of the farmers purchasing power ? made the Company revise its price policy.
