Two years before the expiration of the planned<br />

development strategy we have accomplished the<br />

majority of our goals. The return on capital<br />

surpassed that planned 10 per cent, and the equity<br />

value of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group rose to €392.4 million.<br />

We are designing bold new plans.

Organisational structure<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group after<br />

the accounting period<br />

In the beginning of 2006 we slightly restructured the<br />

organisation – the operations of the companies and their<br />

classification. There were no changes either in Rubber<br />

Manufacturing with the foreign trade network or in<br />

Tourism. At the time of preparing the <strong>Annual</strong> Report,<br />

Trade was still a part of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, however, after<br />

selling the companies from the division – <strong>Sava</strong> Trade<br />

d.d. and MG Market d.o.o., and acquiring a stake in the<br />

Merkur Group, the management of this operation in the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group will change so as to participate in the profit<br />

of the trading system Merkur, which will be strengthened<br />

through the sold company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade. The operation of<br />

Chemicals is no longer pursued independently; after<br />

selling the company Color d.d. the division, since the<br />

mi<strong>dd</strong>le of 2004, has included only the company Teol<br />

d.d., which is now being restructured. The operation of<br />

Teol d.d. will now be pursued as a part of Other<br />

Operations to which also the company for the disabled<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Medical & Services d.o.o. was transferred from the<br />

Real Estate division. Other operations include the<br />

emerging company Energetika <strong>Sava</strong> d.o.o. established

* Notes referring to the asterixed items:<br />

The presented <strong>2005</strong> income of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group calculated in accordance with IFRSs is lower than in 2004, the reason being a single revenue due to the purchase<br />

of the Pannonian Spas companies below their book value. The revenue due to negative goodwill contributed 30% to the created return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group. Not considering this single event, the <strong>Sava</strong> Group created a net profit that was 8.8 % higher than last year.<br />

- Total income of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group achieved in <strong>2005</strong> is 14.5% above the plan.<br />

- Net profit of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in <strong>2005</strong> is 4.3% above the plan.<br />

- Return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in <strong>2005</strong> amounts to 10.5% and is 0.5 percentage points above the plan, thereby surpassing the target return on capital as<br />

A review of highlights after the accounting period<br />

January The company Gea Sol d.o.o. discontinues its business. Based on R&D work and risk assessment we<br />

discontinue planning the production of solar tiles. The vital part of its business – energy consulting<br />

– is transferred to the company Energetika <strong>Sava</strong> d.o.o.<br />

February The Supervisory Board of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. endorses the submitted plan on restructuring <strong>Sava</strong> Trade. The<br />

plan anticipates that <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. enters the company Merkur d.d. with a significant ownership stake.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. offers to pay in 98,000 newly issued shares as an increase in the share capital of Merkur<br />

d.d. at a price of €151.1 per a share. The restructuring plan further includes that <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. offers<br />

Merkur d.d. to purchase the entire ownership stake in <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. and sell the entire ownership<br />

stake of <strong>Sava</strong> Trade in the company MG Market d.o.o. Through these transactions <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. obtains<br />

a significant stake in the company Merkur d.d., while Merkur d.d. consolidates its business through<br />

the operation of the present <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d.<br />

The Supervisory Board of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. adopts a resolution that Janez Bohoriå is appointed as chairman<br />

and Vincenc Peråiå and Emil Vizoviæek as members of the <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. Board of Management for a<br />

new mandate, i.e. from 17 July 2006 until 16 July 2011.<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> share is listed in the new South-east Europe index, Southeast Trade Index (SETX) formed<br />

by the Vienna Stock Exchange. Besides <strong>Sava</strong> d.d., another 13 companies that are listed on the<br />

Ljubljana, Bucharest, Sophia and Zagreb Stock Exchanges are included in the index.<br />

March By increasing the share capital in the company Merkur d.d., <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. implements a significant part<br />

of its restructuring plan for Trade and becomes the owner of a 19.6 per cent stake and an important<br />

shareholder in this Kranj-based company. By doing so, <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. will move from the majority-based<br />

management of a smaller company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. to the active joint management of a larger<br />

trading system with significantly better conditions for successful development and profitable<br />

operation. This is an important acquisition and opportunity for shareholders of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

In order to acquire quality personnel, the companies of Pannonian Spas unite with professional and<br />

educational institutions in the region in the promotion of catering and tourism professions. At the<br />

same time Pannonian Spas announce 80 new vacancies in a new 5* hotel. Owing to new<br />

investments in the companies of Pannonian Spas another 80 new jobs will be available next year.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. increases the share capital in Grand Hotel Toplice d.o.o. Bled from €1.3 million to about<br />

€2.1million; in the company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. from the present €21.1 million to €25.1million, and<br />

in the company <strong>Sava</strong>-GTI d.o.o. from the present €0.26 million to €0.86 million.<br />

As part of closing the financial transaction of purchasing shares of Merkur d.d. <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. sold<br />

4,694,946 shares of the company NFD Holding d.d., which represents 14.17 per cent of its equity.<br />

After this sale <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. does not have any stake in the company NFD Holding d.d.

5. Report by the Chairman<br />

of the Board<br />

2 0 |<br />

To all <strong>Sava</strong> shareholders<br />

It is my pleasure to present in the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report the achievements of another successful business<br />

year, which have been accomplished in a keener competitive environment and founded on the efforts<br />

invested by all associates of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in forming long-term operational excellence in all of its<br />

divisions.<br />

Once again <strong>Sava</strong> has confirmed its high flexibility and adaptability so characteristic for its entire<br />

85-year history. In particular, the ability to adapt and efficiently manage changes is the core of the<br />

accomplished results, by which we surpassed planned growth in several key areas. By that I would<br />

especially like to emphasise the importance of the competence centres of strategic knowledge for the<br />

co-ordinated operation of a diverse business group. They enable the associates in a diversified business<br />

system to rapidly identify changes and opportunities in the business environment, thereby achieving a<br />

high level of response.<br />

The results achieved by the <strong>Sava</strong> Group by the end of the year prove that the set development strategy<br />

was accomplished in full. At its fore is profitable and sustainable growth accompanied by a higher<br />

employment rate within the Group, efficient handling of natural sources and new long-term plans of<br />

co-operation with the social community.<br />

Financial results reflect the success of the Group<br />

The improved business results, which are revealed by several surpassed growth indicators in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group, were accompanied by a positive effect due to a transition from Slovene to International<br />

Financial Reporting Standards.<br />

It is undoubtedly in the interest of shareholders that the value of their investment has been confirmed<br />

by international accounting criteria. It is therefore encouraging that the introduction of the<br />

international accounting methodology has been positively reflected in an increase in the equity value of<br />

the Group as well as in the book share value and net earnings per <strong>Sava</strong> share, which is why we estimate<br />

that the value of shareholders’ assets has been given a more realistic picture, while at the same time<br />

making the <strong>Sava</strong> share more attractive to foreign investors.<br />

When dealing with the planned pre-tax profit, the Group has exceeded the plan by 14 per cent and<br />

planned net profit by 4 per cent.<br />

The primary goal to be achieved by the year 2007, i.e. a 10 per cent rate on return on capital invested,<br />

has not just been approached but also fulfilled.


2 1 |<br />

Restructuring accelerates the orientation towards profitability<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

In the global market only products and services that are most recognisable can break through.<br />

Discovering new market niches and shaping winners in market segments are therefore essential in<br />

achieving the profitable growth of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The business mainstream that directs the entire<br />

present development of the Group would therefore be defined as focusing at all levels of Group<br />

operations, both within the programmes and the Group composition. A 13 per cent increase in exports<br />

and a 10 per cent increase in the created a<strong>dd</strong>ed value prove how significantly we have progressed in<br />

that area and strengthened our competitive power globally.<br />

Such aspirations have been developed best in Rubber Manufacturing, which has strengthened internally<br />

and is focusing on international market niches where it has already become an important player. On<br />

the global scale Rubber Manufacturing is recognisable and perceptible in the markets of scooter and<br />

motorcycle tyres, conveyor belts, rubber profiles and rubber products for environmental protection. By<br />

winning significant market shares, we have secured ourselves the potential for further growth and<br />

consolidating our position.<br />

A greater role for Rubber Manufacturing in the sales structure<br />

As a whole, consolidated sales revenues from services provided and goods sold resulted in a 4 per cent<br />

increase. The result demonstrates that along with restructuring of sales programmes also sales figures<br />

have been enhanced. As forecast, we have consistently strengthened product groups, which assures<br />

innovation and the highest customer satisfaction in selected market segments according to the TOP<br />

3/2/1 principle – to win a leading position in Slovenia, be among the first two in the region and rank<br />

among the first three in Europe and worldwide.<br />

As in the previous year in <strong>2005</strong> too Trade held the leading position in the sales structure with the same<br />

volume of sales. It is followed by Rubber Manufacturing with a 14 per cent increase in net sales<br />

revenues and even a 42 per cent increase in pre-tax profits. Third place belonged to Tourism, which<br />

augmented its income by 3 per cent, accounting for a good one fifth of Group sales. Due to the dynamics<br />

of building for the market Real Estate slightly lagged behind the planned sales figures, while the<br />

company Teol d.d., which is presently being restructured, decreased its sales volume too.<br />

Rounding up the investment cycle and further enhancing the level of quality in<br />

tourist services<br />

In the <strong>Sava</strong> Group an intensive investment period is under way, during which the volume of investments<br />

in fixed assets has reached €38 million for the second time in succession. A similar investment volume is


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

2 2 |<br />

envisaged for 2006 when the present investment cycle is to be completed. The major part or a good half<br />

of investment assets is earmarked for the accelerated development of tourism amenities in both<br />

destinations, Bled and Pannonian Spas. The investment cycle that began in Bled, where the renovation<br />

of the entire range of services infrastructure is currently being completed, comprised the modernisation<br />

and expansion of high-quality hotel, catering, wellness and golf facilities. Investments in the tourism<br />

infrastructure in Pannonian Spas will round off the cycle.<br />

The renovation of facilities represents the foundation, but not the only factor that is vital to increase<br />

profitability in the tourism industry. As one of the central and, according to some criteria, even the<br />

leading provider of tourist services in Slovenia we realise that a breakthrough in quality tourist services<br />

is inevitable, since Slovenia as a tourist destination has many opportunities in this area. Only after<br />

completing this task, which includes increasing the level of quality of knowledge, organisation,<br />

marketing and advertising, will it be possible to accomplish an increase in profitability as planned.<br />

Therefore future investments in tourism will be directed towards the aforementioned factors. We are<br />

also counting on assistance and collaboration from the state and establishing links with tourism<br />

organisations in Slovenia, particularly in the area of marketing, purchasing and real estate.<br />

Forecast of changes in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

Investments in Tourism place distinguished products and operations with higher a<strong>dd</strong>ed value in focus.<br />

Yet, this process should not be discussed only in terms of operations and programmes, but also at the<br />

highest level – the structure of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. In 2004 we sold our main investment in Chemicals, in<br />

the coatings industry, to which we adapted by excluding Chemicals as an independent division.<br />

Although the year passed without any other great change in the Group’s internal structure, it was time<br />

to make a decision and conclude agreements on how to encourage the development of Trade as a<br />

strategic operation. However, as assumed in the strategy outlined for the first period of the<br />

restructuring process in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, Trade should have utilised significant favourable effects from<br />

internal links with Chemicals. The result was an agreement with the trading enterprise Merkur<br />

concluded in February 2006. The investment in Trade will be replaced by playing an active role in<br />

managing this trading enterprise, in which we have acquired a one fifth stake. Consequently, the<br />

decision to restructure the division and sell the entire business stake in the companies <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d.<br />

and MG Market d.d. presents the logical continuation of selling our investment in Chemicals and the<br />

coatings industry, respectively, on which this operation was founded.<br />

The business in Real Estate is conducted in the direction outlined, the division becoming ever more<br />

present in the Croatian real estate market.<br />

Preparations for future changes<br />

In a<strong>dd</strong>ition to the agreed upon and envisaged restructuring of real investment in Trade and its exclusion<br />

from the <strong>Sava</strong> Group we are not planning any other more significant changes in the Group’s<br />

composition in 2006, being conditioned by favourable market opportunities. Yet we admit to responding<br />

to opportunities that allow the expansion of Rubber Manufacturing. In this division future development<br />

is based on investments or external growth through acquisitions in new markets, with a parallel<br />

increase in the share of Rubber Manufacturing in consolidated sales.<br />

The shift in the Group’s composition that is restructuring real investment in Trade into a financial<br />

investment will have a considerable impact on business achievements and indicators of the Group in 2006.<br />

For shareholders and the holding company <strong>Sava</strong> it is of paramount importance that capital invested in<br />

trade operations through its transfers under financial investments will win on profitability and further<br />

improve the structure and have a positive effect with investments in the Investment Finance division.<br />

The restructuring will have the strongest influence on the volume of consolidated revenues of the Group,<br />

which will be reduced by a good third.


2 3 |<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

However, the volume of revenues, if a comparison is made with the same composition of the Group in<br />

the past years, would demonstrate growth. There is another important aspect concerning the<br />

restructuring of Trade: we shall enhance operating profit in the operations of our subsidiaries by 1.3<br />

percentage points. By restructuring the <strong>Sava</strong> Group we are therefore continuing to implement a<br />

profitable growth strategy.<br />

Profitability as a non-linear indicator<br />

It is worth emphasising that return on capital as an important criterion for the success of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group with regard to the holding management and organisation of the Group is not an indicator that<br />

grows in linear terms, but it is fluctuating. In the past two years profitability was appreciably high,<br />

reaching 16 per cent in 2004, and 10.5 per cent in <strong>2005</strong>. The achieved profitability level is substantially<br />

affected by favourable purchases of new real investments or an increase in stakes in such investments,<br />

as we have witnessed during these years, thereby creating single operating revenues in the form of<br />

effects due to the elimination of negative goodwill. In 2006 we do not anticipate any larger sale of<br />

financial investments, therefore the profit planned for the <strong>Sava</strong> Group and the company <strong>Sava</strong> is lower.<br />

Nevertheless, it is planned to increase in the years ahead at an average annual rate of 6 per cent. The<br />

planned return on capital is lower as well. Despite the mentioned fluctuation, the present direction of<br />

the Group means progress towards stable and profitable growth of the selected operations.<br />

Success in implementing the adopted dividend policy<br />

The Investment Finance operation being performed by the holding company <strong>Sava</strong> continues to be of<br />

importance for the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. Among its long-term financial investments the holding company holds<br />

quality and profitable investments such as a stake in Gorenjska Banka d.d., in which it appears as a<br />

strategic owner. Also in future the holding company will seek ownership stakes in financial institutions,<br />

not to mention that it already has available a strong liquid and profitable portfolio of securities.<br />

In 2006 we do not plan to sell any important portfolio investments, therefore the profit of the Group is<br />

planned at a lower level and should reach €29 million. The balance of business operations, favourable<br />

financial position, rich financial investment portfolio, which provides opportunities for future gains,<br />

and an increase in operating profitability in business assures that <strong>Sava</strong> further meets the adopted<br />

development and dividend policy on a consistent basis. The policy anticipates that the dividend paid for<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> share will undergo continual and stable growth.<br />

The confidence that investors have is due to the structure of <strong>Sava</strong>’s assets and the successful<br />

implementation of the development strategy, originating from the efficient management of its strategic<br />

investment areas. This is at the same time the reason for the market value of the <strong>Sava</strong> share being less<br />

sensitive to unfavourable movements as experienced by the SBI 20 index on the Ljubljana Stock<br />

Exchange. In the international business environment <strong>Sava</strong> is renowned as a successful company with a<br />

long-term development programme, which has been proven by the <strong>Sava</strong> share being included in a new<br />

South-east Trade Index (SETX).<br />

Preparations for profitable growth in the future development period<br />

In February the Supervisory Board gave the Board of Management of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. another 5-year mandate<br />

until the year 2011 and entrusted it with the preparation of a development strategy for the next period.<br />

The preparation for individual operations is underway. The strategy for the entire Group, which will<br />

7. Report by the<br />

Supervisory Board<br />

2 9 |<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

on the result of examining the audited <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report,<br />

<strong>2005</strong> consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group and<br />

the proposal for using the accumulated profit <strong>2005</strong><br />

Components of the <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report<br />

The Supervisory Board of the joint stock company <strong>Sava</strong> has reviewed the formal aspects concerning the<br />

<strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report from the Board of Management and the Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report for <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

It has determined that the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Reports were produced within the legal deadline and contain all<br />

the obligatory components as prescribed by the currently valid Law on Economic Enterprises. The <strong>Annual</strong><br />

Report consists of the financial <strong>report</strong> that includes the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, enclosures with<br />

notes to all the statements, Cash Flow Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity and the business <strong>report</strong>.<br />

The Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report consists of all the prescribed contents too, whereby it stands that the<br />

Business Report is common to both the <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report. All the<br />

essential constituents that are prescribed by legislation to produce the individual statements and <strong>report</strong>s<br />

are contained in the <strong>Annual</strong> Report. The company has correctly created legal reserves and reserves for its<br />

treasury shares. The explanations to the financial statements contain all the information prescribed by the<br />

Law on Economic Enterprises in Items 1 to 19 of Paragraph 1, Article 65. The Business Report contains<br />

all the significant business events that took place after the end of the business year, anticipated growth of<br />

the company and operations of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in the field of research and development and data about the<br />

subsidiaries of the company. The Business Report contains an in-depth analysis on the material risks and<br />

uncertainties that the company is exposed to.<br />

The <strong>Annual</strong> Report was submitted for auditing to a selected auditor at the 10 th Shareholders' Meeting of the<br />

joint stock company. The auditors KPMG d.o.o. produced an Auditors' Report on 8 April 2006.<br />

Paragraph 3 of Article 256 of the Law on Economic Enterprises prescribes that the Board of Management<br />

must present the compiled <strong>Annual</strong> Report together with the Auditors' Report to the Supervisory Board<br />

without delay. The Board of Management of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. did this on 13 April 2006. We therefore determine<br />

that the aforementioned legal provision was observed.<br />

Method and scope of examining the management of the company<br />

The Supervisory Board performed its supervisory function mainly at Supervisory Board meetings. It also<br />

established a review commission to prepare the written <strong>report</strong> from the Supervisory Board on the <strong>2005</strong><br />

<strong>Annual</strong> Report and other tasks in accordance with the Code of Corporate Governance for Slovenia. The<br />

commission consisted exclusively of Supervisory Board members, whereas the associates of the company,<br />

including the internal auditor, collaborated in its work.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

The Supervisory Board held seven regular meetings. At these meetings individual members of the<br />

Supervisory Board exercised their right under Paragraph 1, Article 274(a) of the Law on Economic<br />

Enterprises, which enables all members of the Supervisory Board to examine all the bases for producing<br />

the <strong>Annual</strong> Report. In accordance with the legal provision the Supervisory Board has the right to revoke<br />

such a right from an individual member, but the Supervisory Board did not adopt any resolution on this<br />

matter in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

The Supervisory Board meetings in <strong>2005</strong> took place on 17 February, 22 April, 17 May, 7 July, 25 August,<br />

and 15 December.<br />

The most important resolutions of the Supervisory Board<br />

The Supervisory Board pursued and adopted resolutions about the most important matters on a regular<br />

basis. A summary of other more important resolutions of individual meetings of the Supervisory Board (in<br />

chronological order) is given in the following wording:<br />

• The Supervisory Board became acquainted with the <strong>2005</strong> Business Plan together with a projection for<br />

2006 and 2007 (4 th meeting).<br />

• The Supervisory Board motioned the proposal by the Board to allocate 50% of the accumulated profit<br />

2004 remaining after the use of the net profit for the purpose under Paragraph 1, Article 228 of the Law<br />

on Economic Enterprises to other revenue reserves;<br />

• The Supervisory Board confirmed and endorsed the audited 2004 <strong>Annual</strong> Report from the Board of<br />

Management, audited consolidated 2004 <strong>Annual</strong> Report and a written <strong>report</strong> by the Supervisory Board<br />

about the annual <strong>report</strong> from the Board of Management for 2004, the consolidated 2004 <strong>Annual</strong> Report<br />

and the proposal for using the accumulated profit (5 th meeting).<br />

• The Supervisory Board motioned the proposal by the Board of Management about distribution of<br />

accumulated profit;<br />

• The Supervisory Board proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting to extend the period for the unused part<br />

of the approved capital by another 5 years;<br />

• The Supervisory Board estimated that appointing a special auditor for examining individual transactions<br />

of the company was not needed (6 th meeting).<br />

• The Supervisory Board prepared written standpoints with regard to the demand for appointing a special<br />

auditor and made the chairman of the Supervisory Board in charge of presenting the standpoints in the<br />

extraordinary meeting (7 th meeting);<br />

• The Supervisory Board became acquainted with the bi-annual <strong>report</strong> on business operations for the<br />

period January-June <strong>2005</strong> (9 th meeting).<br />

• The Supervisory Board appointed the members of the review and personnel commission (10 th meeting).<br />

In a<strong>dd</strong>ition to that the Supervisory Board pursued and, if required, adopted required resolutions about<br />

long- and short-term financial investments, treasury shares, share price and the movement of the


3 1 |<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

shareholders’ structure. After each Supervisory Board meeting the minutes of the meeting were prepared<br />

and were adopted with a resolution.<br />

Reporting by the Board of Management<br />

In the <strong>2005</strong> business year <strong>report</strong>ing by the Board of Management enabled the Supervisory Board to suitably<br />

implement its supervisory role. The <strong>report</strong>s by the Board of Management were usually produced according<br />

to individual areas with a synthetic review of all business impacts. These involved the operations of the<br />

divisions: Rubber Manufacturing with the Foreign Trade Network, Trade, Tourism, Real Estate and<br />

Investment Finance, thereby enabling one to monitor the positive and negative effects of individual<br />

operations of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

The Supervisory Board was also allowed to make a review of individual companies or production and<br />

service programmes within individual divisions. The interest of the Supervisory Board primarily referred<br />

to the business operations of larger companies and production programmes and the consolidated<br />

statements of the entire Group.<br />

In its <strong>report</strong>s the Board of Management presented all the most important categories that affect the business<br />

of the joint stock company <strong>Sava</strong>. These are the categories of profit, turnover, costs, a<strong>dd</strong>ed value, etc.<br />

Furthermore, comparative statements for the previous year and planned statements for the current and<br />

future two years were a<strong>dd</strong>ed to the statement for <strong>2005</strong>. In this way the Supervisory Board could<br />

continuously examine the trend with respect to the past and planned business performance.<br />

Business performance assessment<br />

The Supervisory Board examined the business operations of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and the <strong>Sava</strong> Group during the year<br />

based on the submitted <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report, which for the <strong>Sava</strong> Group was prepared in accordance with<br />

International Financial Reporting Standards for the first time. By doing so the results and assets of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group were presented in a more realistic manner, since the major part of assets was shown at the fair value<br />

principle. The use of new standards had a favourable effect on the shown return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group, which in <strong>2005</strong> surpassed 10 per cent as planned in the strategy for the year 2007. The equity value<br />

presented in balance sheets of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group increased to more than €392 million or €193.8 per share.<br />

Irrespective of the single effect due to the transition to new financial standards it is to be ascertained in<br />

every case that the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in <strong>2005</strong> operated successfully and all key performance indicators of the<br />

Group surpassed the planned value. The comparison of values and business indicators does not show a<br />

suitable increase with regard to the past year, the reason being the negative goodwill shown under<br />

revenues for the year 2004 on account of the purchase of companies operating under the Pannonian Spas<br />

brand (it involved a single event connected with entering into the ownership structure).


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

3 2 |<br />

The Supervisory Board of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. analysed the movement of certain significant financial data and<br />

indicators, which show business success and ascertained:<br />

• net sales revenues in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group were achieved at €244 million and 4 per cent above last year and<br />

3 per cent below the plan;<br />

• The pre-tax profit of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group totalling €43.7 million was 14.5 per cent higher than planned or 20.9<br />

per cent lower than last year’s profit;<br />

• Net profit of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group for <strong>2005</strong> was generated in the amount of €38.5 million and was 4.3 per cent<br />

above plan. In comparison with last year it was 20.9 per cent lower. Not considering the negative<br />

goodwill, the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in <strong>2005</strong> generated a net profit that was 8.8 per cent higher than last year.<br />

• Return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, calculated as the ratio between pre-tax profit and average balance<br />

of equity, amounted to 11.9 per cent and was 5.2 percentage points lower than last year.<br />

• Return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group calculated as the ratio between net profit and average balance of<br />

equity amounted to 10.5 per cent and was 5.5 percentage points lower than last year. The achieved return<br />

on capital was 0.5 percentage points above the planned return in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

• On 31 December <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> Group employed 3,047 employees, or 1 per cent more than last year.<br />

The Supervisory Board ascertains that the Board of Management of the company was successful in <strong>2005</strong><br />

as all the key goals were implemented both in <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. Very good results of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group for <strong>2005</strong> according to IFRSs were due to successful operation and the application of new standards,<br />

which show the income and value of the assets in a considerably different manner. It is not anticipated that<br />

such a single event will be repeated in the coming years.<br />

The Supervisory Board estimated that the Board accomplished a material portion of business goals from<br />

the four-year development strategy prior to the deadline, however, certain important changes appeared in<br />

the strategy implementation that demand a revision of the current strategic development goals. The key<br />

elements of these changes are:<br />

• The Board of Management revised the adopted strategy of Trade by selling the entire operation and as<br />

an important shareholder entered in the ownership structure of the largest domestic trader with technical<br />

goods – the company Merkur. The decision will have a positive effect on the success of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

and resulted from the sale of the company Color d.d. as the largest investment in Chemicals. This year<br />

the Board of Management will seek an optimum solution for the remaining company from the division,<br />

i.e. Teol d.d.;<br />

• As far as the volume of the invested capital is concerned the Tourism division has become the second most<br />

important operation of the Group following Investment Finance. In the following period the Board will<br />

focus on increasing the return on capital invested by rationalising operations, synergies from a joint<br />

appearance and suitable positioning in Slovene tourism;<br />

• Investment Finance is the operation with a key contribution to the successful operation and profitability<br />

of the entire <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The future divestitures of the investments and investment in other existing or<br />

new operations will be realised within the adopted strategy and on the basis of the economic study and<br />

the established comparative advantages of the business system as a whole.<br />

In the business year 2006 the company will have to revise the adopted strategy for the period 2004-2007<br />

with regard to the aforementioned and already performed revisions from the previous year also due to the<br />

dynamic changes in the market and the necessity for rapid adaptation. The Supervisory Board ascertained<br />

that the development strategy should be revised on an annual basis.<br />

Proposal for using accumulated profit<br />

The Supervisory Board examined the proposal for using accumulated profit.<br />

It ascertained that the profit was distributed in accordance with Article 228 of the Law on Economic


3 3 |<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

Enterprises, while the proposal for using accumulated profit comprises the data prescribed in the fourth<br />

paragraph of Article 282 of the aforementioned law.<br />

The Supervisory Board assessed whether there was a possibility for challenging such a resolution about<br />

using accumulated profit in line with the first paragraph of Article 368 of the Law on Economic<br />

Enterprises. It determined that there was no such possibility, since the proposal by the Board of<br />

Management anticipated that the amount of €5,352,661 was distributed to shareholders, which is the<br />

amount exceeding 4 per cent of share capital in cumulative terms totalling €3,350,904.<br />

When endorsing the <strong>Annual</strong> Report, the Supervisory Board supported the proposal by the Board of<br />

Management to form other reserves for one half of the net profit that remains after using accumulated profit<br />

for the purposes from the first paragraph of Article 228 of the Law on Economic Enterprises.<br />

Based on the third paragraph of Article 286 of the Law on Economic Enterprises, the Supervisory Board<br />

proposed that the Shareholders’ Meeting adopt a resolution on using accumulated profit as proposed by<br />

the Board of Management.<br />

Auditor's <strong>report</strong><br />

The Supervisory Board has examined the Auditor's <strong>report</strong> and determined that the auditor's opinion is an<br />

affirmative one.<br />

The auditor has also presented his views in the <strong>report</strong> to the Supervisory Board and collaborated in the<br />

meeting of the auditing commission of the Supervisory Board.<br />

The Supervisory Board has no comments on the Auditor's Report. It determines that the Auditor’s Report<br />

contains the constituents prescribed in the second paragraph of Article 54 of the Law on Economic<br />

Enterprises. The auditor has confirmed that the financial <strong>report</strong>s have been produced in accordance with<br />

Slovene Accounting Standards, the accounting policies of the company and by employing corresponding<br />

provisions of International Accounting Standards.<br />

Comments of the Supervisory Board on the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the<br />

<strong>2005</strong> Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report<br />

The Supervisory Board has no comments on the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the <strong>2005</strong> Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong><br />

Report that would delay the adoption of a decision to endorse the <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the Consolidated<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> Report.<br />

Endorsement of the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report<br />

The Supervisory Board hereby endorses the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report and the <strong>2005</strong> Consolidated <strong>Annual</strong> Report<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

The Supervisory Board received the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Reports within an open deadline, i.e. before one month<br />

expires including the day the <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Reports were submitted to the Supervisory Board.<br />

announced at least 30 days prior to the meeting in the<br />

Official Gazette, Finance magazine, in the electronic<br />

information system SEOnet of the Ljubljana Stock<br />

Exchange d.d., and on the company websites.<br />

At the 11 th annual Shareholders’ Meeting that took place<br />

on 1June <strong>2005</strong> shareholders of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. made a<br />

decision about appropriating profit, relieving the Board<br />

of Management and Supervisory Board and appointing<br />

an auditor. On request from one of the largest<br />

shareholders an extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting<br />

was convened on 13 July <strong>2005</strong>, in which shareholders<br />

decided to appoint a special auditor for examining the<br />

business of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. with its subsidiary Grand Hotel<br />

Toplice d.o.o. and the company Golf in Kamp Bled<br />

d.o.o. over a period of the last five years. Shareholders<br />

rejected the proposal by a two-thirds majority. All<br />

business was namely already revealed and examined by<br />

the authorised auditors, who did not find any<br />

irregularities, while the compulsory settlement<br />

procedure was conducted by the competent court.<br />

Supervisory Board of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

The Supervisory Board of the company includes nine<br />

members. Six members, shareholders’ representatives,<br />

are elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting, while<br />

members and employee representatives are elected by<br />

the Workers’ Council in accordance with the law on<br />

employee participation in management.<br />

The Supervisory Board members are elected for a<br />

mandate of four years with the possibility of being<br />

repeatedly elected. The Supervisory Board shall meet at


3 5 |<br />

least once per quarter, or obligatorily once per half year.<br />

At <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. the Supervisory Board meets at least in five<br />

regular meetings annually.<br />

It is common practice that the Supervisory Board appoints<br />

a commission for the preparation of a Supervisory Board<br />

<strong>report</strong> on the annual <strong>report</strong> and a proposal about profit<br />

appropriation as well as its own audit commission. The<br />

scope of business of this commission corresponds to the<br />

code recommendation, namely, for the Supervisory Board<br />

to form an audit commission. The audit commission team<br />

that is composed of the commission chairman Janko<br />

Kastelic and members Stanislav Valant, M.A., and Miha<br />

Resman, reviewed the annual <strong>report</strong>, discussed the matter<br />

with the auditor and prepared a proposal for the<br />

Supervisory Board <strong>report</strong>.<br />

At its last meeting in <strong>2005</strong> the Supervisory Board<br />

appointed a personnel commission, which by the first<br />

meeting in 2006 drafted a proposal to appoint a new<br />

Board of Management. The personnel commission<br />

members, Miran Kalåiå, Stanislav Valant, M.A., and<br />

Joœef Copek, extended the mandate of the present Board<br />

of Management by a new mandate period.<br />

The method of working, convocation of meetings and<br />

other matters of importance for the work of the<br />

Supervisory Board of the company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. are set out<br />

in the statute of the company and the regulations<br />

governing its work.<br />

Board of Management<br />

of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. is led by a three-member Board<br />

of Management who is appointed by the Supervisory<br />

Board and whose mandate is five years with an<br />

unlimited possibility for repeated appointment. The<br />

present Board of Management begins its new mandate<br />

on 17 July 2006 and ends it on 16 July 2011.<br />

The Board of Management runs <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. by conducting<br />

business for the benefit of the company in a self-<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

dependent manner and on their own responsibility. The<br />

number of Board of Management members and their<br />

scope of business and authority are determined by a<br />

Supervisory Board resolution and form a constituent<br />

part of the Board of Management regulations.<br />

The Board of Management <strong>report</strong>s to the Supervisory<br />

Board on a regular basis, in an understandable manner<br />

and on time on all significant questions in relation to the<br />

operations of the company and the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The<br />

Board of Management and Supervisory Board reconcile<br />

their opinions as regards designing and implementing<br />

the corporate strategy. For certain decisions and<br />

transactions, respectively, the Board of Management has<br />

to acquire approval from the Supervisory Board; such<br />

transactions are purchase of ownership stakes that<br />

exceed 20 per cent of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.’s share capital, and an<br />

increase in the share capital from approved capital.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. has two procurators. Their mandate coincides<br />

with the mandate of the current Board of Management.<br />

They represent the company together with one member<br />

of the Board of Management. The procurators have no<br />

limitations other than legal limitations in representing<br />

the company in real estate business and the provision of<br />

joint representation.<br />

Governing and managing the<br />

subsidiaries of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group is composed of the controlling<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d., its subsidiaries, in which the<br />

controlling company holds, directly and indirectly, a<br />

majority stake, and joint ventures, which the parent<br />

company manages together with other joint owners.<br />

The key task of the <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. management is to assure<br />

efficient company management and governing of the<br />

entire group. Acting on the part of all employees in the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group is connected to and directed by the common<br />

values and business principles that form the basis for


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

3 6 |<br />

implementing the corporate strategy of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and its<br />

subsidiaries.<br />

Managing subsidiaries is carried out at several levels:<br />

• council of directors of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, which consists<br />

of members of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. Board of Management,<br />

directors of subsidiaries and the director of<br />

competence centres of knowledge;<br />

• competence centres of knowledge, which exercise the<br />

business policy at expert levels and transfer<br />

knowledge within the <strong>Sava</strong> Group;<br />

• shareholders’ meetings of subsidiaries, at which <strong>Sava</strong><br />

d.d. exercises its voting right and protects its interests;<br />

• supervisory board meetings of subsidiaries, at which<br />

the representatives of the <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. management<br />

exercise their managing role; and<br />

• occasional consultations, if so required by the nature<br />

of business.<br />

The Council of Directors is headed by the chairman of<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. Board of Management. Members meet on a<br />

monthly basis and deal with business achievements and<br />

other important aspects of the company business in the<br />

Group. Furthermore, the Board of Management of <strong>Sava</strong><br />

d.d. regularly (twice a year) convenes a business<br />

conference of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The June meeting is<br />

intended for forecasting the business results by the year<br />

end, whereas the December meeting deals with the<br />

business plans for the following year.<br />

Representatives of the <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. management actively<br />

engage in governing and managing the subsidiaries as<br />

members of their supervisory boards. Their tasks<br />

include regular assessments of the implementation of<br />

company strategic policies and their efficiency, giving<br />

approvals to strategic decisions and appointing or<br />

recalling members of the management bodies, as well as<br />

their remuneration.<br />

There were no changes in <strong>2005</strong> in the management<br />

teams of the subsidiaries.<br />

Managing key strategic<br />

areas through the competence<br />

centres of knowledge<br />

The continual development of operations demands<br />

improvements, which is why we have formed two new<br />

competence centres of knowledge in <strong>2005</strong> such as<br />

Internal Audit and EU Projects.<br />

The competence centres of knowledge are the<br />

organisational form established in order to manage key<br />

strategic areas at the level of the entire Group; they were<br />

formed in 2002 and represent the organisational<br />

successor of the previous network management of<br />

individual areas. One of the Board of Management<br />

members is competent for each of the centres as its<br />

administrator. The fundamental role of the competence<br />

centres that, as a rule, have their management centre in<br />

the holding company, is to take care of performing the<br />

adopted business policy in their particular area of<br />

expertise. The competence centre members in the<br />

subsidiaries exercise common principles within their<br />

companies. The operation of this organisational form of<br />

management and securing knowledge transfer within the<br />

Group is defined in the regulations book of the Board of<br />

Management.<br />

Establishing an internal audit in the form of a<br />

competence centre is substantial progress in<br />

strengthening the corporate governance system,<br />

especially with regard to controlling the business<br />

performance of its subsidiaries. The basic task of<br />

internal auditors in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is to provide<br />

assurances, which are based on independent and<br />

impartial audits, about the suitability of procedures for<br />

dealing with risks and to advise on how to improve the<br />

efficiency and success of such procedures in all business<br />

areas.<br />

The tasks of the second newly established competence<br />

centre, EU Projects, is to work systematically and to use<br />

opportunities for funding utilising European structural<br />

funds.<br />

Within the <strong>Sava</strong> Group there are 14 competence centres<br />

of knowledge: Internal Audit, Risk Management,<br />

Strategic Finance, Finance, Strategic Accounting,<br />

Planning and Analyses, Marketing Systems, HR, Law<br />

and Organisation, Corporate Communications, Strategic<br />

Purchasing, Strategic Informatics, Quality Systems,<br />

Cost Control and Operational Excellence, Safety, and<br />

EU Projects.

9. Risk Management<br />

3 9 |<br />

| i n t r o d u c t i o n |<br />

The competence centre Risk Management has been operating since the end of 2004. Its members, the<br />

representatives of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d., systematically incorporate risk management in the organisation and day-to-day<br />

business, business functions and processes in all divisions of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. In this way the processes that<br />

prior to then were regulated on the basis of quality management certificates, safety systems and various other<br />

methods for risk management have been upgraded.<br />

Risk management has been defined as a continuous and<br />

developing process that should a<strong>dd</strong>ress risks throughout<br />

the Group’s operations methodically and systematically.<br />

The goal is to achieve a sustained benefit within each<br />

operation, perceive risks and capitalise on them.<br />

On account of the systematic risk treatment in the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group we have designed competitive<br />

advantages such as:<br />

• more successful conformity to shareholder requirements;<br />

• more efficient allocation of free financial resources;<br />

• less possibility of unforeseeable events; and<br />

• less possibility of insolvency.<br />

Based on the adapted risk management standard from<br />

2002 (Risk Management Standard, issue IRM,<br />

AIRMIC, Alarm from 2002) all risks at the level of the<br />

competence centres of knowledge and individual<br />

business functions that in Group companies are covered<br />

by these centres were documented in <strong>2005</strong>. We have<br />

prepared a list of risks of importance for all companies<br />

and classified them into opportunities for benefit and<br />

threats to success. Risks have been classified in a<br />

descriptive manner and their impact on operations<br />

measured as well as the factors determined that mainly<br />

affect risk.<br />

Approximately one half of the recorded risks refers to<br />

internal factors determined by business processes, the<br />

organisation and flow of information as well as<br />

acquiring synergies within the Group. Human resources<br />

management and education has a significant effect on<br />

risk management.<br />

Strategic risks<br />

Strategic risks are dealt with together with the<br />

implementation of the vision, mission and goals of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group and its individual companies. Boards of<br />

management in the companies together with their<br />

associates deal with this kind of risk.<br />

Operational risks<br />

Individual competence centres of knowledge deal with<br />

operational risks and manage them through their regular<br />

work procedures. Each centre is responsible for<br />

perceiving and controlling opportunities for benefit and<br />

threats to success from their respective field in<br />

accordance with their competences, strategy, goals and<br />

tasks that have been brought into line at the Group level.<br />

Hazard risks<br />

The appearance of hazard risks is a rare phenomenon,<br />

yet it can have serious consequences, therefore we try to<br />

insure against such risk through insurance companies.<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group has made special contracts with<br />

insurance companies to cover risks that are adapted to<br />

the Group’s operations. The insurance policy is<br />

amended and adapted to requirements at the annual<br />

level. Insurances are mainly concluded for a term of ten<br />

years. We are endeavouring to level the maturity dates<br />

in the Group and shorten the long-term nature of<br />

insurance policies.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

9.1<br />

4 0 |<br />

Tangible fixed assets are mainly insured against fire,<br />

machinery breakdown, burglary and certain other hazards.<br />

Due to increased investments in preventive action the risk<br />

exposure to insured hazards is becoming lower.<br />

In production and trading companies receivables are<br />

insured as well. Insurance against production standstills,<br />

civil and occupational liabilities and product liabilities<br />

are becoming increasingly important.<br />

Financial risks<br />

The financial policy and thereby financial risk<br />

management in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is adopted by the<br />

financial commission of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and confirmed by the<br />

Board of Management of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. The financial policy<br />

determines financial relations within the business<br />

system, as well as relations to banks and other partners<br />

in the business system.<br />

The sensitivity of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group to financial risks is<br />

described in the financial <strong>report</strong> of the annual <strong>report</strong>.<br />

Liquidity risks<br />

Owing to its good rating the <strong>Sava</strong> Group experiences no<br />

difficulties in providing means of solvency. It is<br />

therefore in a position to acquire financial funds in the<br />

banking system relatively easily and under favourable<br />

conditions. The companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group hire loans<br />

practically with all banks operating in Slovenia.<br />

All types of insurance are systematically reviewed<br />

annually in collaboration with the insurance company<br />

and adapted to the operations of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group with<br />

regard to the changes in the environment where we<br />

operate and experience we have gained with the<br />

insurance company.<br />

The structural relation between long- and short-term<br />

loans of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group did not change in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

However, the relation between indebtedness in domestic<br />

and foreign currency has changed, the reason being<br />

lower interest rates for loans in foreign currency and a<br />

stable relation between the euro and the Slovene tolar.<br />

The financial function has been very efficiently<br />

managed by cash and balanced liquidity by an active<br />

allocation of cash surpluses and deficits between<br />

companies.<br />

In relation to the banking system, the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is<br />

exposed as a whole, therefore the centralised<br />

management of cash flows is essential. Due to relatively<br />

low indebtedness of the entire Group we do not have any<br />

problems with liquidity. One of the indicators for the<br />

good Group rating is also the relation between long- and<br />

short-term items in the balance sheet of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.

Approximately one half of inflows of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is<br />

Interest rate risk<br />

Since 2004 we have been hiring the majority of new<br />

loans at a variable interest rate (see graph). We consider<br />

variable interest rates as all those based on EURIBOR,<br />

basic interest rate, SITIBOR or others, which individual<br />

banks define as the basis to which they a<strong>dd</strong> a margin.<br />

on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, there are, to the best<br />

of our knowledge, no a<strong>dd</strong>itional specific market and<br />

Due to growing risk exposure with euro-nominated risks<br />

and thus exposure due to the EURIBOR-bound interest<br />

rate and its expected growth it was decided in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

level of the entire Group.<br />

According to the <strong>report</strong> by the Ljubljana Stock<br />

Exchange d.d. from February 2006 the <strong>Sava</strong> share was<br />

classified in the second of four liquidity groups, which<br />

are defined by the gap between offer and demand,<br />

market depth, share price changeability, trading volume<br />

and the minimum time of presence in the market.


10.Financial<br />

Management<br />

4 3 |<br />

After <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. had been restructured into a holding company for managing and financing, the role of<br />

financial management has become one of performing essential business functions. The policy is defined at the<br />

level of the parent company, and the co-ordinated presence of Group companies is the domain of the<br />

competence centre Finance.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. does not appear as a direct lessee of required<br />

credit sources. As a rule, the companies themselves hire<br />

loans, which depends on the agreement and planned<br />

indebtedness requirements that are planned annually.<br />

Outside the Group the companies are not able to<br />

contract debts without approval from the Strategic<br />

Finance Department, which agrees upon the terms and<br />

conditions with a selected bank. The balancing of cash<br />

flows, which guarantees financial solvency and using<br />

lines of credit to do so, is agreed upon and co-ordinated<br />

in the same manner.<br />

the share of bank loans of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group totalled<br />

around 80 per cent. In <strong>2005</strong> it remained at<br />

approximately the same level. The share of crediting by<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group was at approximately the same level in<br />

2004 and <strong>2005</strong> – around 20 per cent. A negligible source<br />

of assets is represented by other sources (legal entities).<br />

In 2004 this share amounted to 0.56 per cent, while in<br />

represented more than 76 per cent of the total figure.<br />

The reason lies in prices, for contracting debts in foreign<br />

currency in Slovenia and abroad was cheaper than in<br />

Due to approaching the European monetary union we<br />

began to redesign the credit portfolio in <strong>2005</strong> so as to<br />

increase the share of euro loans. At the end of <strong>2005</strong><br />

nearing the European monetary union. With this change<br />

a large portion of indebtedness with loans became<br />

bound to the EURIBOR variable interest rate, which<br />

demands serious planning to apply one of the<br />

instruments for insurance against such an interest rate<br />

(IRS).<br />

With regard to credit portfolio maturity in <strong>2005</strong>, we did<br />

not find any appreciable changes in comparison with the<br />

year 2004.<br />

After a change in the credit portfolio and events in the<br />

domestic monetary market the indebtedness cost was<br />

considerably reduced in <strong>2005</strong> too. At the end of the year<br />

the average interest rate in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group amounted to<br />

3.53 per cent, which is lower than the interest rate<br />

average in the euro region. A lower inflation rate, keener<br />

competition among banks, high rating, uniform<br />

presence and the favourable negotiating position of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group contributed to a reduction in interest rates.<br />

The off-balance evidence or surety-warranty activity<br />

was maintained at approximately the same level as in<br />

the previous year. <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. guarantees for hired loans or<br />

guarantees for Group companies (the Trade and Real<br />

Estate division) amount in total to €29 million.<br />

Owing to its rating the parent company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d., as a<br />

rule, contracts debts without any a<strong>dd</strong>itional pledge of its<br />

material or financial assets.<br />

We expect that the banking system will continue to treat<br />

the companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group as sought-after<br />

business partners and debtors with preferential<br />

treatment.

11. The <strong>Sava</strong> Share and<br />

Ownership Structure<br />

11.1<br />

4 8 |<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> share fluctuated between €187.8 and €179.5. The unit price on the last day of trading in <strong>2005</strong><br />

reached €180.4, or 1.4 per cent less than in the beginning of the year. The decrease is mainly due to movements<br />

on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, which also affected the rate of the SBI 20 index that in the same period<br />

decreased by 5.6 per cent. In the last five years long-term investors in the <strong>Sava</strong> share had a 12.7 per cent<br />

annual yield on average.<br />

Movement of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> share<br />

In the first quarter of <strong>2005</strong> the SAVA share continued its<br />

positive growth trend from the last quarter of 2004. The<br />

share price at 31 March <strong>2005</strong> amounted to €188.1. In the<br />

second quarter of <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> share price lowered<br />

slightly, reaching €181.6 on 30 June <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

In the second half of <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> share price<br />

fluctuated around €179.5, while on the last trading day<br />

in <strong>2005</strong> it amounted to €180.4.<br />

The SAVA share price in the period from 1 January<br />

<strong>2005</strong> to 31 December <strong>2005</strong> decreased by 1.4 per cent,<br />

yet its movement deviated upwards by 4.5 per cent on<br />

average and reached lower deviations than the SBI 20<br />

5.6 per cent.<br />

By investing in the <strong>Sava</strong> share long-term, investors have<br />

enhanced their asset value. The investors who invested<br />

€5,066 in the <strong>Sava</strong> share in the beginning of 2000<br />

increased their asset at the end of <strong>2005</strong> to €10,375. The<br />

return on investment in the amount of 148 per cent since<br />

the beginning of 2000 until the end of <strong>2005</strong> results in an<br />

average yield of 12.7 per cent.<br />

The movement in the price of the <strong>Sava</strong> share in <strong>2005</strong><br />

was impacted also by a lower trading volume on the<br />

Ljubljana Stock Exchange, which in <strong>2005</strong> decreased by<br />

30.6 per cent or €255.9 million. Despite a decrease in<br />

Notes:<br />

• The book value of the <strong>Sava</strong> share is calculated as a<br />

ratio between the equity value of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

excluding minority interest and weighed average<br />

number of named shares excluding treasury shares.<br />

• Net profit per <strong>Sava</strong> share is calculated so as to divide<br />

the net profit for the year that relates to the named<br />

shares of the controlling company (numerator) with<br />

the weighed number of named shares being exercised<br />

in the accounting period (denominator).<br />

• The share of dividends in net profit equals the<br />

fraction product of dividend per share and the number<br />

of shares on the ex-dividend date in the share register<br />

and net profit on the last day of the year.<br />

• The dividend yield equals the fraction of dividend per<br />

Share book value<br />

The book value of the <strong>Sava</strong> share on the last day of the<br />

year <strong>2005</strong> was €193.8. When calculating the book value<br />

the number of treasury shares was deducted from the<br />

total number of shares.<br />

Dividend per share<br />

The Board of Management of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. proposed the<br />

SAVA d.d.<br />

Dividend per share<br />

(In tolars)<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

share in the year and market price of the <strong>Sava</strong> share on<br />

the last trading day of the year.<br />

• The capital yield equals the fraction of the market<br />

price of the <strong>Sava</strong> share in the beginning and the market<br />

price of the <strong>Sava</strong> share at the year end.<br />

• Market capitalisation equals the multiple of the<br />

number of <strong>Sava</strong> shares and the market value of shares<br />

on the last day of the year.<br />

• The P/E index is calculated as the fraction of market<br />

price of the <strong>Sava</strong> share on the last day of the year (or<br />

the highest and lowest market prices in the calendar<br />

year) and profit per share.<br />

• The P/B index is calculated as a fraction of the price<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> share on the last trading day of the year and<br />

book value of the share in the same period.<br />

payment of a dividend in the amount of €2.67 for a<br />

share, or a total amount €5.3 million.<br />

Taking into consideration the proposed dividend for a<br />

share and the <strong>Sava</strong> share price on the last trading day of<br />

the year, the dividend yield for <strong>2005</strong> reached 1.5 per<br />

cent. Ever since 1996 <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. has been increasing the<br />

dividend for a share, thereby guaranteeing its<br />

shareholders stable dividend yields in the long run.<br />

Development<br />

Strategy<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

We at <strong>Sava</strong> are intensively implementing the development strategy that was set in 1997 when we expanded our<br />

operations from rubber manufacturing to new branches of business. The period of eight years after the change<br />

in development was divided into two strategic phases. In the first phase that comprised five years (1997-2002)<br />

we strongly accelerated our growth through acquisitions and the establishment of new companies, thus<br />

achieving the position of one of the largest business systems in Slovenia. In the second phase (2003-2007) we<br />

have been focusing on the development of competitive core programmes and services and an increase in<br />

business profitability. The achieved results at the end of <strong>2005</strong> repeatedly confirm that the strategic goals have<br />

been implemented in accordance with planned dynamics and in certain areas even surpassed. In 2006 we are<br />

concentrating on a thorough examination and upgrading of the set strategic priorities, as well as designing<br />

ambitious goals for the next five-year period of our growth and development.<br />

Restructuring operations,<br />

design and growth of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

As the leading car tyre manufacturer in the markets of<br />

the former Yugoslavia and with a 3 per cent share in the<br />

European car tyre market <strong>Sava</strong> is facing the pressures of<br />

globalisation. <strong>Sava</strong> did not have available its own<br />

technology for radial tyre production. Confronted with<br />

unfavourable conditions for renewing the contract<br />

offered by the then partner Continental, we decided to<br />

link with the American corporation Goodyear. We sold<br />

a majority stake in the car tyre programmes to Goodyear<br />

and established two companies under joint ownership.<br />

In 1998, <strong>Sava</strong> d.d., with its operations volume<br />

amounting to scarcely one quarter of the previous<br />

volume, started to implement a new development<br />

strategy that was directed to achieving its primary goal<br />

until 2007: to increase the volume of operations from<br />

the then €38 million to €310 million.<br />

In the period from 1997 to 2002 we surpassed the<br />

volume of operations prior to linking with the Goodyear<br />

corporation by:<br />

• restructuring the industrial rubber programmes that<br />

remained fully owned by <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.;<br />

.• expanding to related operations (technical trade and<br />

chemicals) that complement rubber manufacturing as<br />

the basic operation;<br />

• diversifying operations (utilising opportunities in the<br />

promising tourism industry and entering the real estate<br />

business, particularly but not exclusively due to a large<br />

volume of investment projects and similar<br />

requirements within the Group); and<br />

• strengthening the investment finance role and<br />

combining strategic investments in real sector and<br />

profitable financial investments.<br />

In 2002, before the expiration of this development<br />

phase, <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. was restructured to a holding company<br />

for management and finance and formed six key<br />

business areas and divisions of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group,<br />

respectively.<br />

Enhancing all aspects of<br />

profitability in operations<br />

In the second strategic period, from 2003 to 2007, the<br />

internal growth of the companies and their expansion<br />

continue to be a development priority, thereby shifting<br />

the focus on implementing the development strategy<br />

from operations volume growth to an increase in<br />

operations profitability that until 2007 should reach 10<br />

per cent or three times as much as in 2002.<br />

We have formed separate but complementary missions<br />

and visions of the holding company and the Group.<br />

The mission of the holding company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. is to<br />

increase the value of company assets, which is being


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

5 8 |<br />

implemented by establishing competences in both key<br />

areas of our operations: managing the majority-owned<br />

companies and managing the investment portfolio.<br />

Managing the companies: subsidiaries are trained to<br />

achieve returns on capital invested that are above<br />

average with regard to the relevant branch.<br />

Managing the companies is based on five strategic<br />

guidelines:<br />

• to ensure the most modern management systems;<br />

• to establish efficient competence centres of knowledge<br />

in all key strategic business areas;<br />

• to provide conditions for employment, development<br />

and motivation of all employees, particularly top<br />

specialists;<br />

• to focus on developing and augmenting the portfolio<br />

of globally competitive products and services in the<br />

long run; and<br />

• to ensure operational excellence and cost efficiency.<br />

Managing the portfolio: we identify, select, acquire<br />

and integrate the right portfolio of businesses that<br />

improve the profitability of investments in the divisions<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

Managing the portfolio – either acquisitions or<br />

divestitures – is an essential component in managing<br />

such a diverse system like <strong>Sava</strong>, therefore exacting<br />

criteria that support expertise in this field are being<br />

developed.<br />

The mission of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group: we are oriented to<br />

continually surpassing the expectations of customers,<br />

employees, shareholders, partners and the environment at<br />

the level of the entire Group, as well as creating attractive<br />

opportunities to employ the best personnel in Slovenia.<br />

The renewed vision of the holding company <strong>Sava</strong><br />

seeks to become the most successful and sought-after<br />

capital manager in Slovenia and a respected and<br />

responsible partner in the sustainable development of<br />

the natural and social environment.<br />

The vision of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is to offer the greatest<br />

value to the customer and most appealing opportunity<br />

for employing the best personnel in Slovenia.<br />

We have adopted common business principles that in<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>ition to values represent the basis of our operations.<br />

The common principles that direct the operations of all<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group companies are:<br />

• profitable growth;<br />

• competent and motivated employees;<br />

• excellent knowledge of customers;<br />

• innovative products and services;<br />

• reliability and operational excellence; and<br />

• a fair and ethical business.<br />

The values of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group direct the organisational<br />

culture of our business system and place great emphasis<br />

on responsibility and the focus on achieving outstanding<br />

results and excellence in conducting business. We are<br />

led by the following values:<br />

• excellence in everything we do;<br />

• reliability and efficiency;<br />

• knowledge, creativity and self-initiative;<br />

• co-operation based on mutual respect and an open<br />

dialogue; and<br />

• responsibility towards the natural and social<br />

environment.<br />

<strong>2005</strong> – the primary goal for<br />

2007 surpassed<br />

In recent years <strong>Sava</strong> has experienced a radical<br />

reorganisation and increased its business success by<br />

restructuring its operations, strengthening its brand<br />

names, making huge investments, increasing the<br />

efficiency of its processes and combined involvement of<br />

its employees.<br />

The plans as set for 2007 have been achieved faster than<br />

originally expected. Already in <strong>2005</strong> the return on<br />

equity surpassed the 10 per cent figure specified in the<br />

strategy, which should be reached only in 2007. The<br />

equity value of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group rose to €388 million,<br />

and the share book value exceeded the figure of €192<br />

per share. Moreover, in <strong>2005</strong> we invested highly in<br />

further development, especially in the technology and<br />

renewal of our facilities, which will be continued in<br />

2006 and beyond. With new investments the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group has created and will create new jobs, especially<br />

in Pomurje.<br />

These accomplishments – combined with the achieved<br />

portfolio strength of our operations and companies –<br />

have created a solid foundation for the future and<br />

provided the strength to further exceed our expectations.


5 9 |<br />

Future steps in implementing<br />

the strategy<br />

2006 can be characterised as a year of consolidation for<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group operations, intensive investments and a<br />

further increase in the operating profitability of<br />

subsidiaries. Owing to the already exceeded target<br />

profitability that in line with the set strategy should have<br />

been achieved only in 2007, as well as new development<br />

opportunities and the implementation of planned<br />

changes in the Groups’ composition, this will also be the<br />

year in which strategic goals in all operations and Group<br />

companies are thoroughly reviewed and revised, thereby<br />

determining further detailed steps on the way to<br />

profitable growth of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in the next 5-year<br />

development period.<br />

One of the key changes that will make a comparison of<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in 2006 and <strong>2005</strong> more difficult will be<br />

restructuring of the Trade division. Till now this has<br />

accounted for more than two thirds of total Group sales<br />

revenues.<br />

Trade in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group was formed as an operation<br />

that will be strongly strategically linked to Chemicals<br />

operations. The original strategic plans of this operation<br />

anticipated linking the Slovene coatings industry within<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The Chemicals and Trade divisions<br />

would join purchasing and sales channels, resulting in<br />

an increase in the business performance of both<br />

operations. However, neither the merging of the<br />

chemical industry within the <strong>Sava</strong> Group has been<br />

implemented, nor the planned synergetic effects in the<br />

Trade division. Based on the concentration and difficult<br />

market conditions in this branch, the development and<br />

investment criteria in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, and trends<br />

regarding the business and strategic position of both<br />

companies in this division, we have decided to<br />

restructure Trade and thus accelerate its further<br />

development.<br />

In the mi<strong>dd</strong>le of March 2006 <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. already<br />

implemented an important part of the strategic<br />

restructuring plan for the Trade division. Due to<br />

collaboration in the increase in share capital and<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>itional purchases of shares it has already become a<br />

significant 20 per cent owner of shares in the successful<br />

Slovene trading system, the Merkur Group. Future steps<br />

in restructuring Trade include selling the entire<br />

ownership stake that <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. has in MG Market<br />

d.o.o., and selling the company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. to the<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

company Merkur d.d. In this way <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. will<br />

substitute the majority management of a smaller trading<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. with active co-management of<br />

a larger trading system whose prospects for successful<br />

development and profitable business are substantially<br />

better – an accomplishment and opportunity of vital<br />

importance for <strong>Sava</strong> shareholders.<br />

In this year we plan to adopt strategic decisions<br />

concerning the company Teol d.d. Presently the<br />

programme of this company is being restructured.<br />

Establishing and starting-up the production of green fuel<br />

– biodiesel – on these premises, either independently or<br />

in association with one of the interested strategic<br />

partners, has been identified as one of the promising<br />

courses of development of this operation.<br />

The key generators of our further growth and<br />

development continue to be Rubber Manufacturing,<br />

Tourism, Real Estate and Investment Finance.<br />

In Rubber Manufacturing, our traditional business, it<br />

is planned to double the volume of operations in a<br />

5-year period. This will be achieved by focusing on<br />

innovative, high-quality industrial rubber products and<br />

services and by winning the position of the most<br />

progressive and adaptable niche producer of elastomer<br />

products in Europe and worldwide.<br />

Globally, Tourism is the branch with the highest<br />

growth rates and one of the key branches in the<br />

development of the Slovene economy. The development<br />

vision of <strong>Sava</strong>’s division Tourism is to strengthen the<br />

role of the leading tourist service provider in Slovenia,<br />

expand its operations to neighbouring markets and<br />

ensure top-class hotel, catering, golf and other tourist<br />

services. Besides the planned comprehensive<br />

investment operations and intensive employment, more<br />

important development tasks in 2006 include more<br />

active collaboration with other tourism companies in<br />

Slovenia and carrying out preparations for the<br />

introduction of the separate management of real estate<br />

and operational business of tourism companies.<br />

In Real Estate we perceive a chance to strengthen our<br />

leading market position in the Slovene market and<br />

further expand operations in the neighbouring Croatian<br />

market where we wish to reach the position of a leading<br />

service provider.

In 2006 and beyond Investment Finance will<br />

repeatedly contribute a material share to the success of<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group performance. By investing in profitable<br />

financial investments, providing funds for the<br />

development of the Group’s operations, efficient<br />

acquisition of assets and a uniform presence in the<br />

capital market, this division will generate above-average<br />

returns for our shareholders and implement the vision of<br />

becoming the most profitable financial pillar in<br />

Slovenia.<br />

Strategic foundations of future<br />

development<br />

Our financial compass continues to be the return on<br />

capital invested and devoting attention to creating a cash<br />

flow and maintaining a solid asset balance.<br />

The long-term profitable growth of individual<br />

companies and the Group as a whole will be supported<br />

by balanced investment that considers the increase in<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>ed value in the long run, particularly by employing<br />

an innovative approach; this includes both products and<br />

services with potential as well as technology and<br />

processes.<br />

When making decisions regarding investments at the<br />

Group level, we will focus on business areas that<br />

demonstrate the highest success potential.<br />

Continuing modernisation of management systems<br />

and strengthening the efficient operation of<br />

competence centres of knowledge will further remain<br />

in the forefront of our efforts, which up till now has been<br />

proven to be an outstandingly efficient way to manage<br />

key strategic areas, transfer knowledge, and direct and<br />

motivate employees to achieve goals at the level of the<br />

Group and individual companies.<br />

Our employees in particular are of prime importance<br />

for success in all of our operations. Therefore their<br />

qualifications, motivation and corporate disposition, as<br />

well as seeking and developing the best talents, will<br />

remain one of the key strategic development priorities of<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in the future. We wish to further<br />

strengthen the volume and quality of various forms of<br />

education including encouraging opportunities for selftraining.<br />

The remuneration system will be linked to the<br />

achievements of an individual and performance of<br />

individual Group companies to an even greater extent.<br />

To win a leading position in Slovenia, be at least<br />

second in the region and rank among three providers<br />

in our own market segment in Europe and<br />

worldwide, respectively, is and remains the basic<br />

requirement and condition for all members of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group. We will strengthen the global competitiveness of<br />

our products and services portfolio at the company or<br />

division level by proceeding to identify new market<br />

opportunities, develop new products and services and<br />

design innovative business models that bring<br />

comparative advantages.<br />

Seeking important development opportunities at the<br />

level of the entire Group, particularly in Tourism, is just<br />

one of the activities to ensure operational excellence<br />

and cost efficiency. Another is energy savings, either in<br />

the form of reducing energy consumption or having an<br />

even more efficient supply, which can significantly<br />

contribute to a reduction in costs, thereby increasing the<br />

business performance of Group companies.<br />

The development of <strong>Sava</strong> will also in the future be<br />

founded on a sustainable basis that we comprehend as<br />

combining long-term economic success with<br />

environmental protection and social responsibility, both<br />

being our contribution towards a better future for<br />

present and future generations.

The consolidated financial statements of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group have been compiled according to International<br />

Financial Reporting Standards for the first time. The introduction of International Financial Reporting<br />

Standards has provided a more realistic presentation of the results and assets of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The items in<br />

the financial statements are valued at fair values as required by the new standards. The introduction of new<br />

standards has a positive effect on the presented return on capital employed of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, which in <strong>2005</strong><br />

exceeded 10 per cent, as set in the strategy until 2007. The equity of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group as presented in the balance<br />

sheet increased too and amounted to more than €393 million or €193.8 per a share. Regardless of the applied<br />

standards, the <strong>Sava</strong> Group operated successfully and all key performance indicators surpassed the planned<br />

values. The <strong>Sava</strong> Group created a pre-tax profit of €43.8 million, which is 14.5 per cent higher than planned.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the companies in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group generated a net profit of €38.5 million, which was 4.3 per cent more<br />

than set in the business plan.<br />

Operating expenses<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group operated with operating expenses in the<br />

amount of €206.4 million, which was 8.7 per cent more<br />

than in the previous year. In the operating expenses<br />

structure costs of goods, materials and services had a<br />

70.1 per cent, labour costs a 22.3 per cent, depreciation<br />

a 6.1 per cent, and write-offs and other expenses a 1.5<br />

million.<br />

EBIT, without considering the revenues originating<br />

from the elimination of negative goodwill totalling €7.0<br />

million, was 38.2 per cent higher than last year. The<br />

growth in sales, strict supervision over the cost increase<br />

and optimum use of operating assets resulted in an<br />

improvement of the operating performance of the<br />

Group, which for the second year in a row was reflected<br />

in enhanced EBIT.<br />

Net financing income<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> Group created financing income in the<br />

amount of € 24.4 million, or 16.2 per cent less than last<br />

year. In the financing income structure the profit in sale<br />

of financial investments had a 77.7 per cent share and<br />

received dividends an 8 per cent, received interest a 5.6<br />

per cent and other financing income an 8.7 per cent<br />

share. Financing income was mainly generated by the<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and is described in the part of the<br />

annual <strong>report</strong> that refers to <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> Group created financing expenses in<br />

the amount of €8.6 million, or 32.3 per cent less than in<br />

Pre-tax profit<br />

The pre-tax profit of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group totalling €43.7<br />

million was 14.5 per cent higher than planned or 20.9<br />

per cent lower than last year’s profit. The pre-tax profit<br />

included:<br />

Tax<br />

For <strong>2005</strong> tax liability in the amount of €3.3 million and<br />

an ascertained receivable from recently found temporary<br />

differences totalling €0.25 million were computed. In<br />

the income statement an income tax of €5.2 million was<br />

presented, which was 45.5 per cent higher than last year.<br />

The effective tax rate for <strong>2005</strong> amounted to 12.0 per<br />

cent and was 5.1 percentage points higher than last year.<br />

The changed tax legislation already affected the tax<br />

liability amount in <strong>2005</strong>. A decrease in possible relief in<br />

connection with investments, which in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

are high, will cause an even higher tax liability in the<br />

future.<br />

Net profit for the year<br />

Net profit of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group for <strong>2005</strong> was generated in<br />

the amount of €38.5 million and was 4.3 per cent above<br />

plan. In comparison with last year it was 20.9 per cent<br />

lower, the reason being the negative goodwill due to the<br />

purchase of companies operating under the Pannonian<br />

Spas brand, which in 2004 was shown under revenues.<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

Irrespective of this event, the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in <strong>2005</strong><br />

generated a net profit that was 8.8 per cent higher than<br />

last year.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> all divisions operated with a positive result with<br />

the exception of the Chemicals division, which is being<br />

strategically reorganised, and other operations including<br />

companies and projects that have just begun.<br />

Return on capital<br />

Return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, calculated as the<br />

ratio between pre-tax profit and average balance of<br />

equity, amounted to 11.9 per cent and was 5.2<br />

percentage points lower than last year.<br />

Return on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group calculated as the<br />

ratio between net profit and average balance of equity<br />

amounted to 10.5 per cent and was 5.5 percentage points<br />

lower than last year. The achieved return on capital was<br />

0.5 percentage points above the planned return in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

Both the lower profit in absolute terms and lower return<br />

on capital of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group were mainly due to a single<br />

financial income in 2004 in the form of eliminating the<br />

negative goodwill that was realised with the purchase of<br />

companies operating under the Pannonian Spas brand.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o., the largest in the Rubber<br />

Manufacturing division, increased its net sales revenues<br />

by 16 per cent with regard to last year. 74 per cent of<br />

products were sold in foreign markets, the most<br />

important partner being Germany. Despite unfavourable<br />

trends, <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. operated very successfully in the<br />

raw materials market and contributed 70 per cent to the<br />

total profit of Rubber Manufacturing.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong>-GTI d.o.o. is a smaller, but rapidly<br />

developing company that re-oriented to the car market<br />

with a range of high quality and high value-a<strong>dd</strong>ed<br />

products. Net sales revenues were 32 per cent higher<br />

than last year, the profit generated being twice as high as<br />

last year. <strong>Sava</strong>-GTI d.o.o. contributed 23 per cent to the<br />

total profit of Rubber Manufacturing.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong>-Schäfer d.o.o. is a joint venture<br />

with the German strategic partner Schäfer AG.<br />

Therefore the key data for Rubber Manufacturing show<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

only one half of the sales revenues, profit, assets and<br />

liabilities of this company. In <strong>2005</strong> the company<br />

generated sales revenues that were 15 per cent higher<br />

and profit that was 45 per cent higher than last year.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong> Rol d.o.o. from Zagreb confronted<br />

tough business conditions in Croatia in <strong>2005</strong> too, with<br />

keen competition in particular. In the structure of the<br />

Rubber Manufacturing division the company does not<br />

represent a significant share.<br />

Foreign Trade Network<br />

The Foreign Trade Network mainly sells products from<br />

the Rubber Manufacturing programmes; 22 per cent of<br />

products are sold through its network. It includes five<br />

companies in Germany, UK, USA, Czech Republic and<br />

Poland and two representative offices, these being in<br />

Moscow and Trieste.

The Trade division created net sales revenues in the amount of € 97.8 million, which was at last year’s level.<br />

In the total consolidated sales structure of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group Trade had a 38.3 per cent share. Total pre-tax<br />

profit amounting to €3 million was 70 per cent higher than last year, as well as net profit of €2.2 million. Trade<br />

earmarked €0.4million for investments.<br />

For 2006 it is planned to strategically restructure the Trade division, which includes, on the one hand, selling<br />

the entire stake in the companies <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. and MG Market d.o.o. and, on the other, entering <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

in the company Merkur d.d. with a significant ownership stake. That is why the business plan for the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group for 2006 has been prepared by taking into account the mentioned changes.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. created net sales<br />

revenues in the amount of €54 million, which was 4 per<br />

cent less than last year. The generated profit totalling<br />

€2.2 million was 33 per cent above last year’s figure and<br />

mainly produced by selling real estate.<br />

Incorporating the company in the Merkur Group with a<br />

similar sales programme will facilitate an improvement<br />

in the strategic market position, an increase in the<br />

common market share and exploiting synergistic<br />

benefits due to both economy of scale and pooling and<br />

utilising the best knowledge and business models that<br />

companies with a long-standing tradition have available.<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

The company MG Market d.o.o. did not substantially<br />

improve its business performance. Net sales revenues<br />

totalling €43.8 million were in fact 6 per cent higher<br />

than last year. However, this was not sufficient for a<br />

positive result. Too great dependence on the franchise<br />

partner, long-term rental contracts for OBI centres and<br />

keen competition by new centres with similar sales<br />

programmes were the reason for a loss totalling €0.03<br />

million, which, however, is much lower than last year.<br />

The strategic restructuring plan of the Trade division<br />

includes selling a stake in the company MG Market<br />

d.o.o. too.

With regard to the conditions where factors such as especially large investments and disturbingly unfavourable<br />

weather were prominent, the companies of the Tourism division successfully concluded the year <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

The generated net sales revenues in the amount of €54.4 million were 3 per cent higher than last year. In the total<br />

consolidated sales structure of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group Tourism had a 21.5 per cent share. Pre-tax profit totalling €0.6 million<br />

and net profit totalling €0.5 million were lower than last year. The deviation was partly due to the implementation<br />

of planned investments and partly to a revaluation of buildings in the company Terme Radenci d.o.o.<br />

For investments in fixed assets Tourism earmarked €20.5 million, or almost 54.4 per cent of all investments in<br />

the Group. Important investments in Pannonian Spas were the construction of a new 5* hotel in Terme 3000,<br />

renovation of the hotel Radin in Radenci, renovation of the hotel Zeleni Gaj in Banovci and the refurbishment<br />

of an outdoor swimming pool with an amphitheatre in Ptuj. In <strong>Sava</strong> Hotels&Resorts Bled the renovation of<br />

Park Hotel commenced and the information system was completely renewed.<br />

In 2006 Tourism plans to generate sales revenues of €58.2 million, total pre-tax profit of €4.4 million and invest<br />

€20.0 million.<br />

revenues of €2.9 million, or 6 per cent more than last<br />

year, and created a net profit of €0.13 million, which<br />

was significant progress in comparison with last year.<br />

The company continued to win new markets and<br />

provide quality services oriented to meeting top-class<br />

standards as set for the tourism industry in Europe. In<br />

order to implement this goal, it has drafted<br />

documentation for the renovation of King’s golf course,<br />

and a project to extend it with another nine holes is<br />

underway.<br />

The company Grand Hotel Toplice d.o.o. generated<br />

sales revenues of €6.0 million, or 4 per cent more than<br />

last year, and concluded the year with a loss of €0.2<br />

million.<br />

All business goals of the company were not<br />

implemented in full, since tourist movements for the<br />

company, which offers top-quality hotel services in the<br />

region, were unfavourable. The already implemented<br />

restructuring programme and projects in progress will<br />

improve future results.<br />

The company G&P Hoteli Bled d.o.o. created net sales<br />

revenues of €10.1 million, or 10 per cent more than last<br />

year. It generated a net profit of €0.8 million, or 11 per<br />

cent more than in the same period last year.<br />

Good business results are due to the renovation of hotel<br />

capacity, introduction of new products and acquisition<br />

of congress facilities. Brisk investment operations will<br />

continue in 2006, assuring further business growth.<br />

Pannonian Spas<br />

The company Terme 3000 d.d. created net sales<br />

revenues of €15.6 million, which is one per cent less<br />

or 19 per cent less than in the same period last year.<br />

The planned disruptions in operations due to extensive<br />

investment and, consequently, a decrease in overnight<br />

stays slightly deteriorated company business in<br />

comparison with last year. For 2006 a significant<br />

increase in all business indicators is planned.<br />

The company Terme Radenci d.o.o. created net sales<br />

revenues of €12.5 million, or 3 per cent less than last<br />

year and operated with a loss of €2.2 million, the reason<br />

being a revaluation of buildings.

that will have a positive effect due to energy-efficient<br />

buildings. A<strong>dd</strong>itional investments will be required in the<br />

tourist infrastructure that will only meet the<br />

requirements of high-category guests.<br />

The company Terme Ptuj d.o.o. created net sales<br />

revenues of €4.0 million, or 9 per cent more than last<br />

year. The generated net profit totalling €0.28 million<br />

was 6 per cent above last year’s figure.<br />

The first part of the investment programme, during<br />

The Real Estate division achieved net sales revenues of €14.8 million, or 8 per cent less than last year. The<br />

revenues in this division depend entirely on the stage of completion of construction projects, therefore<br />

deviations in years are common. In the consolidated sales structure of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group Real Estate had a 5.9<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> too Investment Finance continued to successfully manage financial investments and thus substantially<br />

contribute to the income of both <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

Investing in profitable financial investments ensures the potential for further development of other operations<br />

in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group and brings our shareholders suitable yields and long-term security for the invested assets.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. earmarked over € 37.6 million for investments in long- and short-term financial investments. The<br />

majority of financial investments was implemented in the domestic market, while in line with the stated<br />

development strategy for tourism we increased the ownership stake in the Croatian tourist holding.<br />

In the domestic capital market we increased our stakes in the companies NFD1, Delniæki Investicijski Sklad,<br />

d.d., NFD Holding d.d., Laæko d.d. Brewery, Mercator d.d. and KD Group d.d. In the foreign capital market<br />

we increased our stake in the tourist holding Dom Holding d.d. and acquired a stake in Slavonski Investicijski<br />

Sklad d.d.<br />

A major part of funds for investment in long- and short-term domestic investments was acquired through<br />

divesting certain existing financial investments. The rest of the funds was acquired from other financing sources.<br />

Chemicals division<br />

The company Teol d.d. created sales revenues of € 5.4million, or 13 per cent less than last year. In this year<br />

too it made a loss of € 0.27 million.<br />

In line with the business plan 2006 Teol d.d. will create sales revenues in the amount of €6.2 million, whereas<br />

a loss in the amount of € 0.2 million will still be made. Seeking new sales channels, which poses a major<br />

problem for the company, did not bring results, therefore in 2006 a decision will be made to restructure it<br />

according to one of several possible scenarios.<br />

The Chemicals division in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group will be discontinued in 2006, while the operation of the company<br />

Teol d.d. will be transferred to Other Operations.<br />

had a 45 per cent share and equipment rentals a 19 per<br />

cent share. The remaining 36 per cent was mainly due to<br />

the contribution of subsidiaries for using the trademark<br />

and sales of services by the competence centres of<br />

knowledge.<br />

Other revenues in the amount of €1.7 million were three<br />

times higher than last year, 78 per cent of this sum being<br />

Outlook for 2006<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

In 2006 too the <strong>Sava</strong> Group will proceed with activities in accordance with the set strategy. Important changes<br />

will occur in the composition of the Group's operations. We have set demanding goals in relation to efficient<br />

marketing, quality products and services and rationalising business processes. We will act so as to achieve and<br />

surpass our planned goals.<br />

2006 will be a year of great change in the operations of<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. The restructuring plan of the Trade<br />

division includes, on the one hand, selling the entire<br />

ownership stake in the company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. and the<br />

company MG Market d.o.o. and, on the other, entering<br />

the company Merkur d.d. with a significant ownership<br />

stake. The mentioned changes will considerably affect<br />

the data and indicators relating to <strong>Sava</strong> Group operations<br />

in 2006. We anticipate that sales revenues in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group will decrease by 36 per cent and operating income<br />

by 8 per cent, while operating profitability in subsidiaries<br />

will increase due to selling the Trade division.<br />

The plan for the <strong>Sava</strong> Group has been produced in<br />

accordance with International Financial Reporting<br />

Standards, as have the results for <strong>2005</strong>. In the<br />

comparisons presented below the same structure of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group applies.<br />

In 2006 the <strong>Sava</strong> Group will create consolidated net sales<br />

revenues in the amount of €155 million, which is 4 per<br />

cent more than net sales revenues in <strong>2005</strong>. In the<br />

structure of net sales revenues the Rubber Manufacturing<br />

division with the foreign trade network is represented<br />

with 48 per cent and has thus become the leading<br />

division as far as volume is concerned; the Tourism<br />

division has a 34 per cent share, Real Estate 9 per cent,<br />

and other operations 9 per cent too. In this way the target<br />

policy of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. in the intensive management of three<br />

divisions has been successfully rounded up.<br />

An important part of the created profit of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group has been contributed by the financial holding<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. which for 2006 plans to generate<br />

financial revenues that are lower than in <strong>2005</strong> due to the<br />

planned decrease in the sale of portfolio investments.<br />

That is why for both the holding company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group lower profit figures are planned for<br />

2006. However, in accordance with the mid-term plan<br />

the profit in the following years will increase by at least<br />

6 per cent annually.<br />

In 2006 the <strong>Sava</strong> Group plans to create a pre-tax profit<br />

in the amount of €32.6 million and net profit of €29.2<br />

million, which means a 7.5 per cent return on capital.<br />

The planned profit of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group consists of the<br />

profit in subsidiaries, profit in associates and profit in<br />

the financial holding; each of them contributes one<br />

third.<br />

€38 million will be earmarked for investments that are<br />

mainly intended for the completion of renovation and<br />

construction of new hotel facilities in Tourism, increase<br />

18. Marketing<br />

18.1 Managing brand names<br />

1 0 2 |<br />

We at the <strong>Sava</strong> Group are endeavouring to develop our own brand names, therefore we are continually<br />

improving the communication strategy to promote our recognition. By successfully managing brand names,<br />

we enhance the sale of products and services of the Group, strengthen a positive image in the public eye and<br />

augment company assets.<br />

The strategy as set for the Tourism division governed<br />

the design of the brand names of two tourist destinations<br />

that link the services of various companies in Bled and<br />

the Pannonian region. For Bled we have designed the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Hotels&Resorts Bled brand and in the north-east<br />

of Slovenia the Pannonian Spas brand. Both brands are<br />

protected and registered in foreign markets too.<br />

In September the Trade division presented its new<br />

communication strategy for the OBI brand and its<br />

advantages. The focus is on the concept: OBI is more.<br />

The concept meets the high standards that OBI has set<br />

and includes the integrated effect of various<br />

communication tools – from media communications to<br />

the exterior appearance of OBI stores.<br />

We promote brand name recognition on the website too.<br />

We redesigned the home page www.hotelibled.com. Its<br />

main purpose is to inform visitors and sell services<br />

offered by <strong>Sava</strong> Hotels Bled. By launching a new<br />

booking system, we made room reservations more userfriendly;<br />

in 2006 the system will be upgraded through a<br />

bonus card.<br />

A new home page www.panonske-terme.si has been<br />

created which, in a<strong>dd</strong>ition to a comprehensive range of<br />

Pannonian Spas, provides up-to-date offers in individual<br />

destinations and links between them.

Customer policy<br />

<strong>Sava</strong>’s focus on customers means having good<br />

knowledge of their business, comprehending and<br />

anticipating their requirements and, above all, their main<br />

questions, being familiar with their experience and<br />

adapting products and services to support their<br />

performance.<br />

In order to rank customers more easily, the Group has<br />

defined criteria for rating customers. We have also<br />

defined what position and competitive power individual<br />

companies have with their customers. In the balanced<br />

indicators system we pursue them on the basis of<br />

various financial and non-financial measurements that<br />

have been harmonised with the strategic goals of<br />

individual Group companies.<br />

The companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group systematically rank<br />

their customers according to their strategic importance.<br />

Vital for long-term success and stable business are key<br />

customers with whom we have established partnership<br />

relations and mutual business on a long-term basis. The<br />

systematically gathered information about customers<br />

and their position in the marketplace is accessible to<br />

everyone in the company who deals with customer<br />

communication. In this way the companies are able to<br />

forecast their own success with that achieved by their<br />

key customers.<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

The long-term success of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is a result of focusing on customers; this forms the basis for designing<br />

the strategic goals and strategies for all the companies in the Group. The opportunities and risks associated<br />

with customers are managed in an efficient manner and supported by systematic data gathering on a longterm<br />

basis.<br />

We continually measure customer satisfaction and<br />

consider their proposals to improve their position in the<br />

marketplace as well as ours.<br />

Regular customer satisfaction surveys are carried out in<br />

all divisions: on the one hand, they are adapted to the<br />

characteristics of individual companies, on the other,<br />

they assure relative comparability also within a<br />

particular company or division.<br />

Satisfaction is also measured with all key customers.<br />

From their point of view we also estimate the most<br />

important satisfaction factors, general satisfaction and<br />

how ready customers are to make recommendations to<br />

others. We are open to all of their suggestions. The<br />

result measurements – also at the level of an individual<br />

customer – form the guidelines we include in the<br />

continual improvements system.<br />

In order to compare selected competitors we have<br />

chosen particular areas in individual divisions to be able<br />

to successfully manage competitive strength. The results<br />

obtained refer further to the introduction of<br />

improvements.

Strategic Purchasing<br />

and Suppliers<br />

For the fifth year in succession the central management, joint purchasing policy, goals and strategies, through<br />

efficient decentralised performance based on common purchase agreements and contracts, have resulted in<br />

decreased purchase prices for several groups of goods, the exception being raw materials and energy. In this<br />

way costs were significantly reduced, thereby strengthening the profitability of the companies in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> a joint and co-ordinated presence in the<br />

purchasing market and consequent performance of<br />

purchasing strategies considerably reduced the<br />

unfavourable effects of oil price growth and the demand<br />

for industrial raw materials from Asian markets.<br />

Agreements with strategic suppliers have contributed to<br />

further strengthening partnership relations and reducing<br />

exposure to prevailing stock exchange fluctuations. On<br />

account of joint operations of the competence centre<br />

Strategic Purchasing we have a<strong>dd</strong>itionally improved the<br />

planned business performance of the companies in the<br />

growth in purchasing prices and reduce it by 3.6<br />

percentage points. Spreading common purchase<br />

contracts to the fields of energy sources, logistical<br />

services, standard equipment and services as well as raw<br />

materials along with utilising synergies and a joint<br />

presence in the purchase market have resulted in further<br />

savings for the <strong>Sava</strong> Group in the amount of more than<br />

one half million euros.<br />

Raw materials and goods represent nearly a 60 per cent<br />

share in the total purchase value of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

Most of the quantity was purchased in foreign markets<br />

for the Rubber Manufacturing, Chemicals and Trade<br />

divisions. In comparison with the price growth of<br />

European industrial products we have improved the<br />

conditions for purchasing in the last three years by more<br />

than 5 percentage points.<br />

The Tourism division purchases primarily in the<br />

Slovene market. A share of raw materials and goods<br />

represents about 20 per cent of the purchase value in the<br />

entire Tourism division. In the last three years the prices<br />

that we had achieved lagged behind the prices of<br />

consumer goods by more than 17 percentage points.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the price increases of raw materials and energy<br />

in the world market surpassed all expectations.<br />

suppliers we have moderated risks that result from rising<br />

prices also on account of our greater demand and<br />

intensive mutual co-operation.<br />

In Rubber Manufacturing, long-term contracts with<br />

suppliers, especially with important global suppliers, are<br />

of vital importance for the stability and success of<br />

business. One of our important partners in the supply of<br />

raw materials is the Goodyear corporation. Long-term<br />

contracts with this concern bring a<strong>dd</strong>itional positive<br />

business effects, strengthen our purchasing power and<br />

reduce costs in stock exchange markets. The price<br />

competitiveness of rubber products has a favourable<br />

impact on the increase in deliveries from low-priced<br />

workforce markets.<br />

Strategic purchasing will continue to perform its<br />

planned activities in 2006 too. We expect the greatest<br />

opportunities to attain our goals in the Tourism division.<br />

Development Activities<br />

20.1 Development of business processes<br />

Special emphasis is given to cost efficiency, adaptability, responsiveness and an innovative approach in all<br />

business processes.<br />

The concept of total quality includes excellence in<br />

controlling and adapting all factors that affect growth in<br />

business achievements. In the business excellence<br />

model (EQA) we therefore perform self-assessment and<br />

external assessments to determine shortcomings in<br />

factors and company results. Shortcomings or<br />

deviations from the planned results are a<strong>dd</strong>ressed as<br />

challenges for introducing a systematic change.<br />

We are continually reviewing improvements in the<br />

process efficiency and conformity of accomplishments<br />

with the long-term strategy of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group and<br />

individual companies by applying the system of key<br />

business indicators and the balance scorecard method<br />

(BSC).<br />

The performance indicators system for business<br />

processes assures a systematic improvement of<br />

individual processes and the system as a whole. In this<br />

way we provide a better link between the development<br />

policy, business policy and process efficiency, as well as<br />

improved system transparency. Last year we focused in<br />

particular on rationalising business and optimising<br />

business processes.<br />

Special attention is devoted to the incorporation of all<br />

associates in process improvements; they are organised<br />

in teams with set goals and measurable goals to support<br />

improvements in companies and throughout the<br />

business group.<br />

We are aware that the transfer of knowledge and<br />

experience among associates plays an important role in<br />

the balanced and more rapid progress of the entire<br />

group. Therefore we established 14 competence centres<br />

that cover the <strong>Sava</strong> Group’s individual areas of<br />

business. These centres include the most competent<br />

associates from all companies, their purpose being total<br />

quality management and the improvement of processes.<br />

The continual improvement of processes in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group has been underway for the fourth year in a row<br />

and results in annual savings of € 4.2 million.<br />

In order to continually improve business performance<br />

we are also encouraging an innovative attitude of<br />

employees and promoting the culture of careful<br />

management, controlling and efficient cost decrease.


20.2 Quality of business<br />

1 0 7 |<br />

On account of stronger international competition and an<br />

increase in pressure on expenses, new forms of<br />

organisation (just-in-time), higher expectations related<br />

to services and products, and especially due to more<br />

stringent manufacturer liability for products we apply<br />

numerous quality assurance tools such as:<br />

• quality standards SIST EN ISO 9001, or processes<br />

related to the car industry VDA 6.1 and more recently<br />

ISO/TS 16949;<br />

• standards covering the safe production of foodstuffs<br />

HACCP (DS 3027 or ISO 22000);<br />

• requirements for regulating processes with regard to<br />

the EQA model (business excellence) or the 20 Keys<br />

method; and<br />

• numerous statistical methods, recently employing the<br />

6 Sigma method.<br />

The mentioned approaches have in the past been<br />

systematically and successfully introduced at the Group<br />

level. The accomplishments are evident from an<br />

increase in sales of our products and services, and in the<br />

successfully performed audits and indicators achieved,<br />

with which we directly pursue achievements at the<br />

quality level.<br />

In Rubber Manufacturing we introduced the numerical<br />

determination of process stability in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

One part of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group’s business involves endeavouring to have better quality of business programmes<br />

and processes. Requirements for highly efficient quality management systems encourage us to use numerous<br />

management tools and systematically improve processes. Continual improvements in all processes enable us<br />

to increase the competitive edge of our products and services, as has been proven by the numerous certificates<br />

obtained.<br />

The quality of products in <strong>2005</strong> reached 99 per cent,<br />

despite a great number of new products in the Velo,<br />

Profile and EKO programmes. Owing to the share of<br />

new products and frequent change of raw materials in<br />

product formulations as a consequence of price<br />

movements for raw materials in the market, the amount<br />

of total waste has increased slightly.<br />

The integrated management system in Trade or the<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. meets the requirements of the<br />

international standards SIST EN ISO 9001, ISO 14001<br />

and OHSAS 18001 and includes the systems of quality<br />

management, efficient handling with the environment<br />

and assuring health and safety at work. In <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Trade d.d. we strive to link all management tools into a<br />

uniform, efficient management system that will include<br />

the quality management system, environment<br />

management systems and the occupational health and<br />

safety system. In <strong>2005</strong> the Introducing Continual<br />

Improvements System project, which was financed by<br />

the Ministry of the Economy of the Republic of<br />

Slovenia, was completed. As part of the project the 20<br />

Keys method is being introduced, which provides an<br />

integral, organised system for finding internal resources,<br />

better utilisation of own resources, and increasing<br />

competitiveness, performance, a<strong>dd</strong>ed value per<br />

employee and employee motivation. We carried out a<br />

breakdown of processes in retail sales and a method of


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 0 8 |<br />

momentary observations. We have invested<br />

considerable time and knowledge in the a<strong>dd</strong>itional<br />

training of work team leaders in retail sales.<br />

Within the integrated management system the company<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. in <strong>2005</strong> carried out:<br />

• internal and external audits of the management system;<br />

• completion of training for quality system managers;<br />

• analysis of processes in logistics and retail sales and<br />

introduced measures based on results; and<br />

• applications in the Environment-Friendly Company<br />

campaign.<br />

In the company Teol d.d., which operates as part of the<br />

Chemicals division, we reduced inventories in products<br />

and raw materials, thereby saving €48,000. We also<br />

made savings in the release of raw materials (number of<br />

analyses, rating suppliers, auditing), while the goals set<br />

for the claims area have not been achieved in full. We<br />

experienced difficulties especially due to the<br />

discontinuation of etoxilate production and seeking<br />

other suppliers in the market. However, the surveillance<br />

audit of the process with regard to the requirements set<br />

by the SIST EN ISO 9001 standard for renewing the<br />

certificate was successful.<br />

In Tourism we mainly focused on transferring best<br />

practices among individual companies. In a<strong>dd</strong>ition to<br />

the quality team we included professional teams in<br />

Tourism, which consist of specialists from individual<br />

companies that provide tourist catering in all <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group companies. We are preparing the standards for<br />

companies that operate under the <strong>Sava</strong> Hotels & Resort<br />

brand to produce a recognisable <strong>Sava</strong> tourism service in<br />

various tourist segments.<br />

In May we successfully passed the certification audit of<br />

companies operating under the Pannonian Spa brand.<br />

Terme 3000 d.d., Moravske Toplice, Terme Lendava<br />

d.d. and Terme Ptuj d.o.o. have available a successfully<br />

introduced quality management system that conforms to<br />

the standard SIST EN ISO 9001. Terme Radenci d.o.o.<br />

and the companies of G&P Hoteli Bled d.o.o., Grand<br />

Hotel Toplice d.o.o. and Golf in Kamp Bled d.d. passed<br />

a follow-up audit in accordance with this standard and<br />

proved that the quality management system was being<br />

improved and upgraded. The kitchen of Grand Hotel<br />

Toplice passed the regular audit of the HACCP system<br />

for assuring the production of safe foodstuffs in<br />

accordance with DS3027. The audit also included the<br />

requirements as defined by the ISO 22000 standard.<br />

Three companies from the Tourism division participated<br />

in the campaign organised by the Republic of Slovenia<br />

for business excellence for <strong>2005</strong>. In May an application<br />

with a self-assessment <strong>report</strong> was submitted by the<br />

companies Terme Radenci d.o.o., Grand Hotel Toplice<br />

d.o.o. and G&P Hoteli Bled d.o.o. Terme Radenci d.o.o.<br />

received a silver diploma in this campaign.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong> IP d.o.o., which belongs to the Real<br />

Estate division, passed with outstanding results the<br />

surveillance audit on the conformity of the quality<br />

management system with the SIST EN ISO 9001<br />

standard, thus proving the continual improvement and<br />

upgrading of the introduced system.


20.3 Development of information support<br />

1 0 9 |<br />

Information technology in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group is understood<br />

as a strategic function that accompanies the<br />

development of a business system. We are aware of the<br />

fact that providing suitable information support<br />

contributes to the implementation of set goals. The<br />

efficient performance of informatics at <strong>Sava</strong> is therefore<br />

understood as a tool for creating a<strong>dd</strong>ed value and the<br />

simultaneous management of risks that occur.<br />

In the future we will upgrade the present system through<br />

the introduction of tested models for management<br />

(COBIT, ITIL). The suitable management of<br />

informatics and coordination of its development with<br />

the business strategy of the company are the<br />

prerequisites for information technology to be able to<br />

contribute to the return on assets invested and gain an<br />

advantage over our competitors.<br />

The central focus in the area of information technology<br />

was on providing efficient information support for the<br />

decision-making process at all management levels in the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group, as well as secure operation of the<br />

| b u s i n e s s a n a l y s i s |<br />

The strategic information platform of integral information support in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group was established by the<br />

successful introduction of an integrated computer programme SAP R/3 in Rubber Manufacturing and<br />

Tourism in Bled. Last year we began to introduce the SAP system and the ROS hotel catering system in the<br />

group of hotels operating under the Pannonian Spa brand.<br />

information system itself. In all companies of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group the Manager Information System (MIS) was<br />

introduced, which facilitates the pursuit of the most<br />

important business indicators and enables comparisons<br />

with the planned values and results from previous years.<br />

MIS was a<strong>dd</strong>itionally upgraded with the function of<br />

enabling the monitoring of profitability of individual<br />

products and customers.<br />

An important milestone in the introduction of<br />

informatics was that of a treasury SAP module at the<br />

Group level to manage assets in a more efficient way.<br />

We have successfully completed the project of renewing<br />

informatics in the companies operating under the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Hotels&Resorts Bled brand and establishing a<br />

functional link between the hotel catering system ROS<br />

and SAP modules for finance and controlling.<br />

In the safety area we outlined the basis and measures for<br />

providing safety of information system operation in the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group and standardised the virus protection<br />

system throughout the Group. We will further centralise<br />

the management of our information system.

It would be difficult to succeed without<br />

co-operation with the local and broader community.<br />

In return we sponsor various projects and make<br />

donations to the social community.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> we earmarked funds that exceeded<br />

last year’s figure by one fifth.

Sustainable Development<br />

Reporting on the environmental and social component of sustainable development is a constituent<br />

part of <strong>Sava</strong>'s <strong>Annual</strong> Report. The Sustainable Development Report includes a survey of key matters,<br />

activities and a <strong>report</strong> on implemented goals.<br />

Our commitment to business success is combined with safety and social responsibility. We therefore<br />

act in a responsible and ethical manner. This is the key to the implementation of our vision: to become<br />

a successful and sought-after manager of capital in Slovenia and a responsible partner in the<br />

sustainable development of the natural and social environment.<br />

Our basic guidelines are:<br />

• care for the satisfaction and safety of employees and the creation of a stimulating working environment;<br />

• prudent management of energy by incorporating environment-friendly technologies;<br />

• care for the natural environment;<br />

• quality of business in line with our policy; and<br />

• integration in the social environment as its support, which is the key to our success.

The Development of Employees<br />

We wish to provide a safe working environment for our employees that encourages continual learning,<br />

co-operation and creativity. We motivate employees with awards and by making them aware that each<br />

individual is an important part of the team. We have established a long-term system of training for all<br />

employees that we named Akademija <strong>Sava</strong>. We are aware that the readiness of our employees for lifelong<br />

learning, personal development, entrepreneurial spirit and adapting to changes are decisive for making<br />

progress and preserving a competitive edge in all of our operations.<br />

23.1 Concern for employees<br />

Creating a working environment in which employees<br />

are able to realise their potential and ambitions in<br />

accordance with <strong>Sava</strong> corporate values are one of our<br />

priority goals.<br />

The average number and<br />

structure of employees<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the average number of employees in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group increased from 3,014 in 2004 to 3,062 in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

There were no greater changes in the Group’s<br />

composition, therefore the employee structure in<br />

individual divisions remains similar to the year before.<br />

Tourism has the largest share of employees with 44 per<br />

cent, and is followed by Rubber Manufacturing with 30<br />

and Trade with 19 per cent.<br />

368 associates were newly employed in the companies<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, of whom 301 were employed for a<br />

fixed period of time and 52 got a permanent position.<br />

Due to the seasonal nature of work most employees<br />

(166) were newly employed in Tourism. Tourism is<br />

followed by Rubber Manufacturing where the<br />

companies <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. and <strong>Sava</strong> GTI d.o.o.<br />

employed 126 new associates on account of an increase<br />

in production capacity and sales.<br />

Last year 324 associates left the companies of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group, which did not significantly exceed the figure<br />

from the previous year. The fluctuation is greatest in<br />

Tourism with 54.6 per cent, mainly due to terminating<br />

contracts concluded for a fixed period of time.<br />

27.5 per cent of the a.m. fluctuation is due to an agreed<br />

termination of contract, 12.6 per cent to retirement, 23.5<br />

per cent termination according to the law, and 36.4 per<br />

cent due to resigning for business reasons.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the total fluctuation in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

amounted to 10.5 per cent, or only 0.2 per cent more<br />

than in the year before. The seasonal character of<br />

tourism business demands high employment flexibility,<br />

and with regard to the number of employees that<br />

Tourism has in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group, the percentage of the<br />

total fluctuation is relatively low and reveals the high<br />

level of employee loyalty and satisfaction.

Remunerating and motivating<br />

employees<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> too the basis for remunerating and promoting<br />

employees was employee performance. Employees are<br />

promoted on the basis of selective criteria such as<br />

promotion due to a more demanding job, a<strong>dd</strong>itional tasks<br />

and duties, market adjustments, or after successfully<br />

completing a training course. 324 employees were<br />

promoted due to their good performance. Senior and<br />

managerial staff as well as key specialists received<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>itional annual bonuses for achieving and surpassing<br />

the planned results. The average percentage of the<br />

variable part of salaries grew considerably in comparison<br />

with 2004 from 2.9 to 4.12 per cent. By introducing a<br />

new system of remuneration we plan to increase the<br />

variable part by up to 10 per cent.<br />

The average salary in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group totalled €1,026.5<br />

or 4.1 per cent more than last year. In all companies<br />

employees received a holiday allowance, while the<br />

Christmas bonus was paid in companies that proved<br />

particularly successful. 1,670 employees with no sick<br />

leave during the year received cash awards. Various<br />

to 4.9 per cent and in <strong>2005</strong> it totalled 4.2 per cent. Sick<br />

leave of up to 30 days totalled 2.3 per cent, whereas sick<br />

Remuneration and Awards, which regulates cash<br />

incentives in the form of awards for Model Worker (105<br />

employees), Company Worker (10 employees) and <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Worker (8 employees).<br />

With the 20 Keys project we encourage employees to<br />

put forward useful suggestions and improvements. We<br />

pursue trends by monitoring the indicator Number of<br />

Useful Proposals per Employee within a personnel<br />

balanced indicator system.<br />

On <strong>Sava</strong> Day we awarded and presented prizes to best<br />

and most successful employees. At pre-New Year’s<br />

meeting 239 employees were awarded for a 10-, 20- or<br />

30-year work jubilee, while 10 employees received the<br />

Company Worker award for their outstanding<br />

achievements, innovation and commitment to work.<br />

Education<br />

On-the-job training is of key importance for achieving<br />

the professional and personal growth of an individual.<br />

We therefore attempt to organise it to the maximum<br />

volume possible. In the development of employees we<br />

pursue our strategy and the development of operations.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 2 0 |<br />

We create an environment that is stimulating for lifelong<br />

learning, innovative thinking, fostering an entrepreneurial<br />

spirit and efficient team work. We involve promising<br />

associates in strategic training and enterprising project<br />

teams and direct them to more comprehensive<br />

educational processes. The most promising associates<br />

from these training programmes are then challenged with<br />

a more demanding job.<br />

The long-term educational model is continually adapted<br />

with regard to the required expertise and variety of<br />

target groups in the Group companies. We have named<br />

the model Akademija <strong>Sava</strong>. 6,802 training hours were<br />

achieved in <strong>2005</strong> which included over 320 associates.<br />

After the programme was completed, 31 promising<br />

young associates received diplomas for the successful<br />

completion of the Promising Associates programme.<br />

On average each employee received 70.5 hours of<br />

education, whereas the average cost of education<br />

amounted to €147.1 per employee. These costs also<br />

include vocational training courses, part-time study and<br />

trainee salaries.<br />

Cost efficiency was mainly achieved by organising<br />

internal training courses and appointing knowledge<br />

administrators – employees who as specialists in their<br />

respective area transfer their knowledge to associates<br />

from other companies.<br />

Diversity of operations, the local distance of certain<br />

companies, sophisticated methods and cost efficiency<br />

lead us to conduct training courses by utilising state-ofthe-art<br />

tools provided by information and telecommunications<br />

technology. By implementing the electronic<br />

learning project we obtained funds from the European<br />

Social Fund and Ministry of Labour, Family and Social<br />

Affairs.<br />

Over 1,000 associates were included in the project who<br />

are now efficiently using their acquired competence<br />

anew. Through the mentioned organisations we<br />

obtained funds for Akademija <strong>Sava</strong> too as well as for<br />

financing education provided by outside institutions.<br />

The greatest focus in <strong>2005</strong> was given to the<br />

implementation of various workshops to further develop<br />

managers at all hierarchical levels. Internally we<br />

provided specialised training courses. Since in Slovenia<br />

it is not possible to achieve a formal level of education<br />

in rubber manufacturing, we have prepared individual<br />

sets of expertise to be implemented in monthly<br />

workshops conducted by in-house lecturers. It is<br />

planned to develop these workshops into an internal<br />

rubber manufacturing school, in which associates learn<br />

management and communication skills as well as how<br />

to conduct employees. We organised workshops on the<br />

strategic preparation for the next development period for<br />

senior management. In Tourism training is provided by<br />

transferring good practice within the companies from<br />

this area and by presenting role models from abroad. We<br />

arranged workshops for groups of employees who have<br />

daily contact with guests to be able to establish and<br />

strengthen their good relations with them.<br />

Various awards prove that our education model is the<br />

right one. In <strong>2005</strong> we received the Learning Company<br />

Institute Award for outstanding achievements in<br />

implementing the learning company concept. We<br />

received the education management <strong>2005</strong> TOP 10 award<br />

presented by GV Izobraœevanje and the Sofos Institute<br />

to companies which systematically invest in the<br />

education of their employees and establish direct links<br />

between the education and business strategy.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Dialogue annual interview<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Dialogue is an annual interview and one of the<br />

established management tools in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. It is an<br />

in-depth, systematically conducted interview of a<br />

superior with every employee separately. The interview<br />

helps the employee to understand the long-term goals of<br />

the company more clearly as well as identify her/his role<br />

in daily work. At the same time it provides a breakdown<br />

of strategic goals and activities to the level of work<br />

teams. Through this procedure we try to design and<br />

develop a clear future vision attainable by all<br />

employees.<br />

During the annual interview the superior and employee<br />

discuss the estimates and possible development of 12<br />

competencies that in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group have been selected<br />

as a guideline and specialisation in personal<br />

development. Associates are free to express their career<br />

ambitions. The interview results are sent to the HR


1 2 1 |<br />

| s u s t a i n a b l e d e v e l o p m e n t r e p o r t |<br />

department for further analysis and supervision of the<br />

agreed measures and proposals.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> Dialogue was conducted with 399<br />

employees – 13 per cent of all employees in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group.<br />

Communicating with<br />

employees<br />

Internal communication is one of the more important<br />

tasks and ensures that good relations are maintained<br />

with and among employees, which is of key importance<br />

in meeting customer requirements and securing lasting<br />

competitive power and business success. However, it<br />

also forms the basis for building the good reputation of<br />

the company within the community and successful cooperation<br />

with it.<br />

Internally different communication tools are used such<br />

as the <strong>Sava</strong> newspaper, monthly Informator bulletin,<br />

information boards, notice boards, intranet, internet and<br />

e-mail along with a number of personal forms of<br />

communication such as interviews with employees,<br />

meetings, internal training courses and employee<br />

assemblies organised at least twice a year. The<br />

Competence Centre HR, Law and Organisation as well<br />

as management teams of all the companies collaborate<br />

in implementing the latter. At employee assemblies the<br />

Board presents the strategic policy of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group,<br />

current projects and <strong>report</strong>s from the HR area. Several<br />

times a year we participate in meetings with workers’<br />

representatives from all companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

Once a year workers’ representatives meet the Board of<br />

Management of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. Associates attend the<br />

meetings and Open Days held by the directors of<br />

individual companies as well as regular meetings with<br />

the management and the 20 Keys team meetings.<br />

We have successfully collaborated with workers’<br />

representatives and received numerous proposals from<br />

them. The Trade Union and Workers’ Council were<br />

notified of all procedures relating to a change in<br />

employee activity where employment was terminated<br />

due to business reasons, business results and a work<br />

calendar proposal, change in job descriptions and<br />

similar matters.<br />

Organisational climate<br />

measurement<br />

After measuring the organisational climate in 2004 steps<br />

were taken to improve and adapt it to meet the<br />

requirements of individual companies. We focused on<br />

improving internal communication, the personnel<br />

development system and remuneration, which has<br />

already been demonstrated by certain improvements.<br />

Since changing the organisational climate is a long-term<br />

process, we shall continue with the activities that have<br />

already begun.<br />

Rationalisation programme<br />

of the HR function<br />

The Competence Centre HR, Law and Organisation is<br />

included in the continual improvement of business<br />

processes. In <strong>2005</strong> we were repeatedly successful and<br />

implemented savings of approximately €0.21 million.<br />

Savings were mainly implemented through a selective<br />

approach to overtime work by substituting it with a socalled<br />

flexible work time organisation. Efficient<br />

relocation of employees reduced the number of overtime<br />

hours and work through student employment agencies.<br />

Furthermore, we organised numerous internal training<br />

courses for a larger number of employees.<br />

For employing difficult-to-employ associates we<br />

received financial support and a government subsidy,<br />

which we present as savings too. We saved expenses<br />

due to the announcement of vacant positions on the<br />

electronic portal http://www.zaposlitev.net.<br />

Disability issues<br />

Persons with 2 nd and 3 rd category disabilities represent<br />

6.4 per cent of all employees in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. For<br />

every disabled employee we sought a suitable job<br />

adapted to her/his abilities and qualifications. With<br />

regard to the condition evident from risk assessment, we<br />

have prepared corrective measures to improve working<br />

conditions for all employees. The number of disability<br />

procedures decreases every year, which confirms the<br />

efficiency of measures to improve working conditions.

Development of human<br />

resources management<br />

We are aware of the fact that readiness and employee<br />

motivation for lifelong learning, personal development,<br />

enterprise initiative, innovation and flexibility are<br />

decisive for the further development and preservation of<br />

a competitive edge in all of our operations.<br />

In the Competence Centre HR, Law and Organisation<br />

we have set a demanding goal for 2006. We will build a<br />

new salary model linked to renewed job descriptions<br />

and a uniformed remuneration system within individual<br />

divisions of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group that will correspond to the<br />

salary model as proposed by the government.<br />

Our new leaders and those who will be promoted to such<br />

positions shortly will be systematically trained in the<br />

internal leadership school to made them familiar with<br />

the basic management, communication and associate<br />

23.2 Concern for employees<br />

outside of working<br />

hours<br />

Our commitment to sustainable development and care<br />

for employees obligates us to provide them with the<br />

opportunity to actively spend their spare time. Therefore<br />

we will launch a Life Cycle project in 2006, which is<br />

based on organising activities run by the company and<br />

involves as many employees as possible. The project is<br />

an upgrade of already established forms of activity. We<br />

offer employees holidays in our tourist facilities under<br />

favourable conditions.<br />

Individual companies – within legal regulations –<br />

organise for their employees and close family members<br />

various sports activities such as swimming, fitness and<br />

others.<br />

management skills. The personnel development system<br />

is being introduced in all <strong>Sava</strong> Group companies<br />

through annual interviews, incorporation in various<br />

training schemes and development interviews with key<br />

and promising associates. All companies will have a<br />

standard personnel information and personnel manager<br />

information system, which represents an important basis<br />

for efficiently managing personnel processes. In the<br />

rubber manufacturing area we intensively co-operate in<br />

the support and performance of internal communication<br />

processes and plan to further strengthen our activities in<br />

this field. In the competence centre HR, law and<br />

organisation we co-finance the project using European<br />

social funds. We repeatedly obtained funds from the<br />

European Social Fund and the Ministry of Labour,<br />

Family and Social Affairs to carry out the training of our<br />

employees. We will concentrate even more on employee<br />

training in the Tourism division: by a transfer of good<br />

practices among companies in the Tourism division and<br />

presentations of good role models from abroad.<br />

We foster cultural activities within the <strong>Sava</strong> Cultural<br />

society, which has been active for more than 30 years. It<br />

includes four groups that establish contacts with similar<br />

societies both in Slovenia and abroad. The <strong>Sava</strong> folklore<br />

group enjoys a good reputation with experts too.<br />

Dancers, musicians, tamburizza players and singers held<br />

many concerts and organised education courses. The<br />

singers who appear under the name Deåve released their<br />

CD. The art group held an exhibition at Extempore in<br />

Piran and with neighbouring Austrian Carinthia the<br />

group appeared in the joint project of the European<br />

Union entitled Spread Together, in which a literary<br />

group also took part. We established links with the<br />

Macedonian society in Kranj and prepared a joint<br />

literary meeting entitled The Preæeren’s Oro, continued<br />

collaboration in the project launched by the Ækofja Loka<br />

museum society and the Ivan Tavåar library called<br />

Colourful Loka. The photography section members<br />

attended a photo safari in the companies of Pannonian<br />

Spas and showed the photos they took in two issues of<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> newspaper.

Concern for employee<br />

safety and health at<br />

work<br />

Employee healthcare<br />

Employee healthcare in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group concentrates on<br />

the prevention of illness both due to the working<br />

environment and in connection with their work. We<br />

strive to employ people in jobs that are adapted to their<br />

psychological and physical abilities. 28 per cent of<br />

employees received preliminary, periodic and specific<br />

health examinations in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

Health and safety at work<br />

Achieving goals in health and safety at work was based<br />

on a preventive approach that includes all employees. Our<br />

final goal is to anticipate and successfully manage risk.<br />

A great deal of attention is devoted to the frequency of<br />

work-related injuries, precautionary measures, prevention<br />

Many <strong>Sava</strong> employees respected the slogan Travel to Work in a<br />

Different Way, and on 22 September rode their bikes to work<br />

of social-related factors (especially stress and a<strong>dd</strong>iction to<br />

psychoactive substances) and analysing new types of risk.<br />

We encourage employees to live healthily and act on<br />

time, also by being involved in initiatives such as the<br />

pan-European campaign European Mobility Week. By<br />

employing an integral approach, preparing special<br />

folders and motivating employees we persuaded more<br />

than one quarter of employees in our Kranj-based<br />

facility not to drive by car to work on European Car<br />

Free Day.<br />

We are also involved in the pan-European campaign<br />

launched by the European Occupational Safety and<br />

Health Board called Stop the Noise. By making<br />

employees aware of how important it is to protect<br />

themselves and others against harmful noise, we<br />

measured noise source levels at certain work places and<br />

specified a list of noise sources. Employee children<br />

made drawings to contribute to the pan-Slovenia<br />

competition concerning occupational health and safety<br />

invited by the Avgust Kuhar Foundation.<br />

Identifying stress through<br />

education<br />

Employee responsibility for one’s own safety is<br />

encouraged by educating and training which comprises<br />

training for safe work, strengthening an awareness of<br />

how important safety at work is and anticipating new<br />

types of risk. 57 per cent of employees participated in<br />

training courses for safe work in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

The principal aim of education is to provide new<br />

information in relation to occupational safety and<br />

health. In a<strong>dd</strong>ition to legally prescribed forms of<br />

theoretical and practical training courses for safe work,<br />

periodic training courses and qualification examinations<br />

we also encourage associate awareness by:<br />

• providing weekly notices and advice on safety at work<br />

on special notice boards;<br />

• writing a column entitled Sreåko warns and gives<br />

advice in a monthly bulletin Informator; and<br />

• printing notices in the <strong>Sava</strong> newspaper.<br />

Employees can give their suggestions to improve safety<br />

directly to the respective specialised service.<br />

Occupational health and safety,<br />

OHSAS 18001 standard<br />

Increasingly strict regulations, which are incorporated in<br />

the operation of individual companies by applying<br />

internationally valid system tools, are implemented to<br />

enhance occupational health and safety. These<br />

regulations are a successful risk management tool.<br />

Most companies that seek to systematically reduce the<br />

risk of injury or health disorders affecting their<br />

employees apply the OHSAS 18001 standard<br />

(Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series)<br />

whose basic principle is a continual improvement<br />

process.<br />

In 2002 and 2003 system tools for occupational health<br />

and safety were applied in the rubber manufacturing<br />

companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group. In 2004 the companies<br />

<strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o., <strong>Sava</strong>-Schäfer d.o.o. and <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d.<br />

Developing the<br />

Social Community<br />

Our investments in sport, culture, humanitarian campaigns, professional development of the company and<br />

environmental issues help the broader and narrower social community to develop. Our priority is to<br />

collaborate in long-term projects that can contribute to the development of a larger number of people<br />

especially children. In a<strong>dd</strong>ition to financial support we provide our long-term partners with organisational<br />

support and the active involvement of employees in individual projects.<br />

26.1 Sponsorship for and<br />

donations to the social<br />

community<br />

We build our relations on respect, understanding and an<br />

open dialogue.<br />

Through sponsorships and donations the companies of<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group are integrated in individual local<br />

For many years a substantial share of sponsorship funds<br />

has been earmarked for the <strong>Sava</strong> Cycling Club, one of<br />

the largest and most successful clubs in Slovenia in the<br />

past 35 years. Valter Bonåa was a particularly successful<br />

communities. When it comes to larger national and<br />

international projects, they are united under the auspices<br />

of the holding company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d., and thus represent the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group. We especially assist non-profit societies,<br />

organisations and institutions and concentrate on<br />

providing assistance to children and their development.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> Group earmarked more than<br />

€4,734,000 for sponsorships and donations, which is 20<br />

per cent more than in 2004.<br />

athlete of the club. In the Krka Grand Prix our cyclists<br />

won an historic triple victory and were successful in<br />

many other competitions at the local, national and<br />

international level. A team of the youngest athletes won<br />

all categories in the Orangina Cup, which further proves<br />

successful co-operation.

We are continuing to sponsor Triglav Ski Club. On a<br />

modern ski jump – Bauhenk under Æmarjetna Gora –<br />

training conditions are excellent and it can host<br />

competitions at the highest level. In the beginning of<br />

2006 the Nordic Junior World Championships were<br />

held, with <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. participating in the organisation. In<br />

summer the Grand Prix will take place on an artificial<br />

ski jump with the world’s best jumpers participating.<br />

We sponsor team sports as well. <strong>Sava</strong> Handball Club<br />

joined with the Planina team to enable the youngest<br />

girls’ selection to become familiar with handball, while<br />

the seniors are faced with new challenges. The OBI<br />

store sponsored the junior team of Kranj Football Club,<br />

while <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. sponsored Olimpija Volleybal<br />

Club, and <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. Jeœica Baseball Club.<br />

This year too we sponsored the traditional Ljubelj <strong>2005</strong><br />

Oldtimers’ Race for the Hrast Memorial, which had<br />

more than 3,000 visitors. Terme Lendava provides funds<br />

for the advancement of the sport of speedway.<br />

The companies in Tourism earmarked considerable<br />

funds for donations and sponsorships in sport. The<br />

company Terme 3000 d.d. sponsored numerous<br />

societies – Union Olimpija Basketball Club, the football<br />

players of Mura 05 and Åarda, female football players of<br />

Pomurje Len, the table-tennis club Moravske Toplice,<br />

the grass hockey team NTK Moravske Toplice, and also<br />

the young golfer, Vanja Bransberger. The companies<br />

Terme Lendava d.d. and Terme Ptuj d.o.o. sponsor<br />

football players and ballooning. <strong>Sava</strong> Hotels Bled<br />

sponsored golf advancement and enabled three primary<br />

schools to purchase and assemble golf equipment. They<br />

also sponsored Bled Rowing Club, Partizan Œirovnica<br />

Gymnastic Society and Œirovnica Mountaineering<br />

Society.<br />

Culture<br />

We further remain active in spreading culture and<br />

preserving cultural heritage and have therefore<br />

established several long-term partnerships. We<br />

sponsored the year-round project Synergy of the Art and<br />

Business World, launched by the world renowned<br />

virtuoso violin player Miha Pogaånik, in which he<br />

discovered the paths to new ideas in the economy and<br />

decision-making process of managerial teams through<br />

classical music.<br />

With the Museum of Gorenjsko we concluded a fouryear<br />

general sponsorship agreement on the birth-place<br />

home of the great Slovene poet Dr. France Preæeren in<br />

Vrba and collaborated in the exhibition to celebrate the<br />

100 th anniversary of the Slovene film industry. We<br />

enrich the cultural life of the local community through<br />

faithful collaboration with the Preæeren Theatre in<br />

Kranj.<br />

For several years we have been partners in the world’s<br />

unique cultural Growing Book project. The idea about<br />

Slovenia being proud of its literature is spreading<br />

because every year we sponsor The Franc Rozman-<br />

Stane Institution and the Just One Flower event. We<br />

supported numerous book issues published by the<br />

League of Combatants in the Second World War and<br />

contributed to the Walk along Partisan Trails of<br />

Jelovica event and the erection of the pan-Slovenian<br />

monument to the T.I.G.R. combatants and people who<br />

defended the Slovene homeland in Veliko Cerje above<br />

Nova Gorica.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong> Hotels&Resorts Bled is the general<br />

sponsor of the Dana Renåelj international ballet school<br />

of Bled as well as the Bled Festival, the international


1 3 1 |<br />

| s u s t a i n a b l e d e v e l o p m e n t r e p o r t |<br />

summer contest for musicians. We aided the<br />

Macedonian cultural society Sv. Ciril and Metod Kranj<br />

in arranging premises for their work. Jointly with the<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. we contributed to the<br />

implementation of certain events during Kranj Youth<br />

Week. The company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. collaborated with<br />

the Academy of Fine Arts of Ljubljana University in<br />

designing a new tread pattern for a scooter tyre.<br />

Tourist operations correspond to public and cultural<br />

events. The company Terme 3000 d.d. was involved in<br />

the events of the Days of Sobota and Koæiå, andthe<br />

Beltinci Festival and also assisted in the renovation of<br />

churches. The companies Terme Lendava d.d. and<br />

Terme Ptuj d.d. helped in the preservation of folk art by<br />

making a contribution to ethnographic groups, choirs<br />

and a musical society.<br />

Professional development<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. is a co-founder of organisations of broader<br />

social importance such as the Joœef Ætefan International<br />

Post-graduate School, Institute for the Development of a<br />

Learning Company and the Development Forum of<br />

Gorenjsko.<br />

Professional achievements are companions of economic<br />

progress. In <strong>2005</strong> we sponsored the final conference of<br />

the international interdisciplinary research project<br />

Manufacturing Visions – Quo Vadis? On the basis of a<br />

research project, which included almost 3,000 experts,<br />

22 countries and 31 European institutions, the<br />

conference should determine the guidelines for future<br />

industrial development in Europe with the aim of<br />

becoming the best competitive economy by 2010.<br />

<strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. took part in the research.<br />

We took over sponsoring the conference Manageress<br />

Excellence, organised by the Section of Manageresses at<br />

the Managers’ Association of Slovenia in collaboration<br />

with the international business school IEDC Bled. We<br />

also established contact with the Metrology Institute RS<br />

and sponsored the awards ceremony of the Business<br />

Excellence Awards of the Republic of Slovenia and<br />

provided professional and financial assistance in<br />

publishing the book Learning Company – Create a<br />

Company of Know-how. Assistance was given to the<br />

Association of Safety Engineer Societies to organise the<br />

8 th symposium on safety and health at work where the<br />

Avgust Kuhar Foundation awards were presented.<br />

Our aspirations for a balanced social development led us<br />

to form a partnership with the IFIMES Institute, the<br />

International Institute for Mi<strong>dd</strong>le-East and Balkan<br />

Studies, which has its head office in Ljubljana. The<br />

Institute is involved in crisis areas, rescue and<br />

preliminary conflict prevention.<br />

The companies in Tourism helped in implementing<br />

projects of the Slovene Tourist Board, which celebrated<br />

its 100 th anniversary, as well as the Tourist Association<br />

of Pomurje. Pannonian Spas sponsored the Diamant<br />

chef team. The Slovene Olympic chef team found a<br />

long-term partner in <strong>Sava</strong> Hotels Bled that will sponsor<br />

it in the following four year period. Preparations prior to<br />

departure for the world chef competition in Basel were<br />

held in Grand Hotel Toplice d.o.o.<br />

The company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. is also loyal to the Faculty<br />

of Chemistry and Chemical Technology in Maribor. It<br />

also sponsored the issue of a new presentation CD of the<br />

Kranj Technical School Centre, thereby joining<br />

endeavours to popularise technical professions.<br />

All companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group are involved in the<br />

development of education and training institutions in<br />

their local environments. They supported their<br />

educational programmes, donated computer equipment<br />

and awarded pupils for their success in various<br />

competitions and research projects.<br />

Aid in distress<br />

One part of our social role is understanding the needs of<br />

the social environment.<br />

We contributed funds and actively participated in the<br />

Mayor’s Race through the streets of Kranj, which is<br />

organised to collect funds to help a<strong>dd</strong>icts. Through the

Good Thought campaign sponsored by Kapitalska<br />

Druœba we donated funds to purchase new equipment<br />

for the Oncology Institute in Ljubljana.<br />

In collaboration with the Youth Friends’ Society in<br />

Kranj we enabled children from deprived families to<br />

enjoy free holidays at the seaside. Repeatedly we were<br />

partners in the Young Mums campaign, in which we<br />

gave New Year gifts to children from student families.<br />

On Bled golf course the Friendship Tournament for the<br />

President’s Cup was held; the fee proceeds and a<br />

Integration in the social<br />

community<br />

and organisations that are endeavouring to bring a ray of<br />

light to deprived people.<br />

They collaborate in the local community and municipal<br />

bodies, various professional and business associations,<br />

branch organisations, specialised associations for<br />

quality development, as well as in expert consultations,<br />

seminars, congresses and other professional meetings.<br />

27. Protecting the Environment<br />

and Fire Safety<br />

Consistent with the law we manage our operations to attain a continual decrease in negative environmental<br />

influences and the prevention of pollution.<br />

Therefore we have committed ourselves to:<br />

• assess the impact on the environment with every new operation;<br />

• develop new products and services that are safe in production and use as well as their environment-friendly<br />

disposal;<br />

• discontinue using hazardous substances;<br />

• plan, design and operate tools and procedures with the maximum economical use of energy and raw<br />

materials and reduce the environmental burden;<br />

• consider prescribed pollution limit values when selecting new equipment and technology;<br />

• monitor environmental influences and take steps in case of irregularities;<br />

• educate, train and make all employees aware of working responsibly;<br />

• co-operate with interested parties in an open and cultural dialogue and, consequently, contribute to the<br />

success of joint efforts invested by the company to improve environmental protection;<br />

• encourage suppliers and contractors to use new environment management systems and respect<br />

environmental legislation; and<br />

• announce our success to the public.<br />

27.1 Environmental protection<br />

Our priority goals are:<br />

• the economic use of energy, raw materials and natural<br />

resources;<br />

• separate collection and recycling of waste to decrease<br />

the quantity of waste for disposal;<br />

• the prevention of environmental pollution;<br />

• substitution of hazardous substances with less<br />

hazardous ones; and<br />

• the training of employees on environmental issues.<br />

Operations of all rubber manufacturing companies are<br />

certified according to the SIST EN ISO 14001<br />

certificate. In the Ptuj-based company <strong>Sava</strong>-GTI d.o.o.<br />

we began conducting business in compliance with the<br />

environment management certificate back in 2002. This<br />

year the operation was re-assessed, and in line with the<br />

mentioned standard, we obtained the second environment<br />

management certificate.<br />

In the company Terme Radenci d.o.o. environmental<br />

management is performed in accordance with the<br />

international standard SIS EN ISO 14001. In <strong>2005</strong> this<br />

operation was adapted to the new environment<br />

management standard ISO 14001:2004. In the company<br />

Golf in Kamp Bled d.d. we continued to adapt this<br />

operation to conform to the Committed to Green<br />

programme. In the company Teol d.d. we introduced an<br />

integrated system to balance the environment<br />

management and occupational health and safety system<br />

with the already introduced quality system according to<br />

the ISO 9001/2000 standard.<br />

By promoting environmental awareness among<br />

employees we collaborate in campaigns in the narrower<br />

and broader social community. Together with more than<br />

400 participants from various societies and Kranj<br />

citizens and residents from Straœiæåe we participated in<br />

the fourth Let’s Clean Kranj campaign organised by the<br />

Kranj Scouts Association, the Municipality of Kranj and<br />

the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.

Tourism Society honoured the Day of Earth and the<br />

100 th anniversary of the Slovene Tourist Association in<br />

Environmental indicators<br />

We regularly monitor environmental indicators and<br />

introduce measures to decrease the impact of our<br />

operations on the environment in individual companies<br />

and at the level of the entire <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

The following environmental indicators are measured<br />

on a monthly basis:<br />

Responsible handling<br />

The Responsible Handling Programme is the Slovene<br />

name for the international initiative from the chemical<br />

industry called Responsible Care. The Chemical<br />

Industry Association at the Slovene Chamber of<br />

Commerce and Industry granted the right to use the<br />

Responsible Care logo to 18 companies. The companies<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. and <strong>Sava</strong>-Schäfer<br />

Efficient use of energy<br />

Energy sources<br />

The companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group use various energy<br />

sources. In the consumption structure electricity has the<br />

largest share with 36 per cent and is followed by steam,<br />

natural gas, heating oil and propane/butane gas. In <strong>2005</strong><br />

energy consumption totalled 142,678,613 kWh.<br />

We received an award for economical energy<br />

consumption. The holding company Slovenske Elektrarne<br />

Energy-related check-ups<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> eight buildings in various companies of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group were inspected in relation to energy<br />

consumption. All inspections demonstrated a possible<br />

decrease in energy consumption and, consequently,<br />

costs. Based on the anticipated short- and long-term<br />

technical and other measures for efficient energy<br />

consumption, we plan to not only reduce specific energy<br />

consumption but energy costs too, or at least maintain<br />

them at this level, despite the rise in prices and<br />

expansion of production and tourism facilities.<br />

Significant achievements in<br />

decreasing the consumption<br />

of energy sources<br />

Natural gas<br />

In comparison with last year the rubber manufacturing<br />

companies <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. and <strong>Sava</strong>-Schäfer d.o.o.<br />

(28%)<br />

and its business partners presented us with a certificate<br />

which proves that 10 per cent of the electricity we<br />

consume is generated from renewable sources and thus<br />

contributes to the Blue Fund, which is intended for the<br />

development of renewable energy sources in Slovenia.<br />

By integrating in the National Plan of the Republic of<br />

Slovenia on distribution rights for greenhouse gas<br />

emissions in the period <strong>2005</strong>-2007 the company Radenci<br />

d.o.o. committed itself to collaborating in the first period<br />

of reducing emissions within the European Union and<br />

will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10.6 per cent.<br />

(27%) (8%) (0.7%) (36%)<br />

reduced the specific natural gas consumption used for<br />

steam production by 19.8 per cent, in Terme<br />

Radenci d.o.o. by 9 per cent and in Terme Ptuj d.o.o. by<br />

6.1 per cent.<br />

Electricity<br />

Specific electricity consumption decreased in<br />

comparison with last year. In Terme Lendava it was<br />

decreased by 19.6 per cent, in Golf in Kamp Bled d.d.<br />

by 6 per cent, in Grand Hotel Toplice d.o.o. by 1.9 per<br />

cent, in the rubber manufacturing companies <strong>Sava</strong>tech<br />

d.o.o. and <strong>Sava</strong>-Schäfer by 1.3 per cent, and in Terme<br />

Radenci d.o.o. by 1 per cent.<br />

Heating oil<br />

Consumption was decreased in Terme Radenci d.o.o.,<br />

Hotel Jeruzalem by 35 per cent, Golf in Kamp Bled d.d.<br />

by 9 per cent, and in G&P Hoteli Bled d.o.o. by 4.8 per<br />

cent.

Propane-butane gas<br />

The consumption of propane-butane gas was 4.5 per<br />

cent lower than last year.<br />

Decrease in drinking water<br />

consumption<br />

We regularly monitor the pollution level of industrial<br />

water effluents from our manufacturing facilities. The<br />

results demonstrate that pollution is below the<br />

prescribed limits.<br />

We continued the project of drinking water consumption<br />

by:<br />

• employing methodical detection of drinking water<br />

leakage in water pipelines and eliminating faults at the<br />

same time;<br />

• regularly monitoring water consumption; and<br />

• ensuring the efficient use of water.<br />

In one year the Kranj-based companies reduced drinking<br />

water consumption by 11.6 per cent. This is the most<br />

important achievement resulting from our systematic<br />

approach in environmental protection. Specific river<br />

water consumption was reduced by 21 per cent in the<br />

Kranj-based companies.<br />

The consumption of tap water was reduced in Teol d.d.<br />

by 10 per cent, Terme Lendava d.d. by 27 per cent,<br />

Grand Hotel Toplice Bled d.o.o. by 7.5 per cent, G&P<br />

Lower dust particles and<br />

organic solvent emissions<br />

Due to the installation of filtering apparatus in key<br />

processes in recent years emissions of dust particles<br />

were almost completely eliminated. The measurement<br />

results are considerably below the permissible limits.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> dust emissions were reduced by 20 per cent.<br />

A high reduction in the emissions of organic solvents in<br />

the Print programme is due to the regular operation of<br />

the thermal incineration plant. In Teol d.d. organic<br />

solvent emissions per metric ton of products was<br />

reduced by 12 per cent. Ammonia emissions in Etopon<br />

in the production of the same company amount to 62<br />

kilos per year, which is within legal requirements.<br />

In the companies of Rubber Manufacturing we ensure<br />

safe and professional waste disposal. Years ago <strong>Sava</strong>tech<br />

d.o.o. introduced separate waste collection according to<br />

type and property. Rubber waste and non-hazardous<br />

industrial waste are disposed of in landfills. Wooden,<br />

metal, paper and plastic waste is recycled, while<br />

hazardous substances and their packaging are incinerated<br />

or recycled.<br />

Due to the changed products structure the specific<br />

amount of waste increased by 2.8 per cent.<br />

In accordance with our plans, which specify the<br />

handling of waste, and based on the basic principles of<br />

the strategic policy for handling waste in the Republic of<br />

Slovenia, the companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group are<br />

committed to gradually reduce the quantity of waste.<br />

We will collect waste fractions as pure as possible and<br />

increase the utilisation of their substances and energy<br />

Mixed sewage waste generated in the hotel, catering and<br />

spa resort operations is collected separately, too.<br />

In <strong>2005</strong> the quantity of sewage waste was reduced in<br />

Terme Radenci d.o.o. by 24 per cent, G&P Hoteli Bled<br />

d.o.o. by 11.6 per cent and in Golf in Kamp Bled d.d. by<br />

4.2 per cent.<br />

We are systematically decreasing the use of hazardous<br />

substances. In the company Teol d.d. ethylene-oxide is<br />

no longer used in the production of etoxilate. The<br />

greatest progress in decreasing the specific use of<br />

hazardous substances was achieved with the<br />

introduction of certain improvements in the technology<br />

of rubber profiles production in Rubber Manufacturing<br />

where the specific use of nitrite- and nitrate-based LCM<br />

salts was substantially reduced.<br />

Noise<br />

The noise level in the Kranj-based rubber manufacturing<br />

companies during the day and at night was considerably<br />

decreased through the following technical measures:<br />

•a noise barrier in front of the solvent pumping station<br />

next to the Print programme building of the company<br />

<strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o.;<br />

•a noise barrier by the cooling tower adjacent to the<br />

Elastomer programme building of the company<br />

<strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o.;<br />

Fire safety<br />

Systematic safety operations (environmental protection,<br />

safety and health at work and fire safety) demonstrate<br />

positive effects also in the field of fire safety. The number<br />

of fires has considerably decreased over recent years.<br />

Despite continual improvements in preventive actions<br />

with respect to fire safety, employee training to implement<br />

fire safety measures and the resulting performance of these<br />

planned measures, the risk still exists.<br />

As part of the preventive campaign related to fire safety<br />

individual companies of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group organised<br />

theoretical and practical training in October.<br />

•a noise barrier in front of the apparatus for filtering air<br />

polluted with grinds from the <strong>Sava</strong>-Schäfer d.o.o.<br />

plant; and<br />

•a silencer on the ventilation system outlet in the Velo<br />

programme of the company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o.<br />

The results of monitoring show that noise levels during<br />

the day and at night do not exceed the prescribed limits.<br />

MEETING THE NEIGHBOURS<br />

In the companies that operate on the <strong>Sava</strong> premises we<br />

have regularly held meetings with neighbours ever since<br />

1998. 43 residents accepted an invitation for a<br />

traditional meeting that was held on 24 November <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

Representatives of the company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o.,<br />

Goodyear – EP and <strong>Sava</strong> Tires d.o.o. acquainted<br />

participants with the achievements in decreasing the<br />

impact on the environment, innovations and<br />

improvements in environmental protection and safety<br />

and health at work. We presented our plans concerning<br />

environmental protection for the following year.<br />

Residents also viewed a new business and production<br />

facility of the EKO programme for environmental<br />

protection and rescue products, which forms a part of the<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o.<br />

Several times a year the rubber manufacturing<br />

companies carry out unannounced simulation drills. In<br />

September an unannounced fire drill Fire on Line KS<br />

2000 in the Conveyor Belt programme, part of the<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o., was carried out. In October a<br />

simulated fire-fighting drill was carried out in the Print<br />

programme in the company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. The purpose<br />

of both drills was to check the abilities of employees to<br />

intervene in case of fire at their work places and the<br />

competence of the intervention team of the <strong>Sava</strong> firefighting<br />

unit. Both drills proved that employees and the<br />

team alike are sufficiently qualified to intervene in case<br />

of fire.

Training employees on how to react in case of a fire hazard or<br />

intervening in case fire breaks out in the companies Teol d.d. and<br />

<strong>Sava</strong>-GTI d.o.o.<br />

On an initiative of the organisers of the 16 th<br />

International Fire-fighters Meeting we were involved in<br />

the national fire-fighting drill Fire <strong>2005</strong> that took place<br />

on 28 May in the Hotel Park building in Bled. The<br />

tactical fire-fighting drill was based on the assumption<br />

that fire had broken out in one of the hotel rooms. The<br />

Environmental safety<br />

in the future<br />

Responsibility towards the environment will be<br />

demonstrated further by meeting legal requirements and<br />

upgraded by the introduction of state-of-the-art methods<br />

and standards governing improvements in environmental<br />

protection.<br />

In the company <strong>Sava</strong>tech d.o.o. activities will be<br />

oriented to obtain an integral environmental permit. In<br />

Tourism’s golf course we will focus on preserving the<br />

diversity of animal species. We will endeavour to build<br />

Checking qualifications of intervention teams in the Fire on Line<br />

KS 2000 drill<br />

drill proved that procedures for intervention under<br />

extraordinary circumstances were suitable and so was<br />

handling by employees and hotel guests. Co-ordination<br />

of the protection and rescue part of the drill was good<br />

and qualifications highly professional.<br />

a bypass road to relieve the hotel surroundings and Bled<br />

lake of exhaust fumes. The international HACCP<br />

standard that ensures the production of safe food is due<br />

to be adopted. It is based on analysing risk and finding<br />

critical issues.<br />

We will strengthen the culture of preventing risk and<br />

encourage co-operation among all those involved in<br />

health and safety at work.<br />

In planning and monitoring our future operations we<br />

will respect the principle that preserved nature is the<br />

best heritage for future generations.

The path upwards requires investment.<br />

Therefore the <strong>Sava</strong> Group makes major investments,<br />

the total investment value in <strong>2005</strong> exceeding<br />

€37.6 million. The same amount will be invested<br />

in 2006 when our comprehensive investment cycle<br />

is due for completion.

Reporting Standards<br />

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE SAVA GROUP<br />

1. Significant accounting policies<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. is a company domiciled in the Republic of<br />

Slovenia. The consolidated financial statements of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group for the year ended 31 December <strong>2005</strong><br />

comprise the <strong>Sava</strong> Group that include the parent<br />

company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and its subsidiaries (together<br />

referred to as the <strong>Sava</strong> Group) and the Group's interest<br />

in jointly controlled entities.<br />

The financial statements were authorised for issue by<br />

the Board of Management on 28 March 2006.<br />

a) Statement of compliance<br />

The consolidated financial statements have been<br />

prepared in accordance with International Financial<br />

Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and its interpretations<br />

adopted by the International Accounting Standards<br />

Board (IASB). These are the Group’s first consolidated<br />

financial statements and IFRS 1 has been applied.<br />

An explanation of how the transition to IFRSs has<br />

affected the <strong>report</strong>ed financial position, financial<br />

performance and cash flows of the Group is provided<br />

under item 34 of the notes.<br />

The following new Standards are not yet effective and<br />

have not been applied in preparing these financial<br />

statements of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group for the year <strong>2005</strong>:<br />

• IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral<br />

Resources (effective from 1 January 2006 - The Group<br />

does not have any operations that would be affected by<br />

the new Standard.<br />

• IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective<br />

from 1 January 2007) – The Standard will require<br />

increased disclosure in respect of the Group's financial<br />

instruments. The Group considers that the significant<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>itional disclosures required will relate to its<br />

financial risk management objectives, policies and<br />

processes.<br />

• Amendment to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of<br />

International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRS<br />

6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral<br />

Resources (effective from January 2006) - The Group<br />

does not have any operations that would be affected by<br />

the new amendment.<br />

• Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial<br />

Statements – Capital Disclosures (effective from 1<br />

January 2007) – This amendment will require<br />

significantly more disclosures regarding the capital<br />

structure.<br />

• Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits – Actuarial<br />

Gains ald Losses (effective from 1 January 2006) – The<br />

amendment includes an option for actuarial gains and<br />

losses to be recognised in full as they arise, outside of the<br />

income statement in a statement of recognised income<br />

and expense. Presently the <strong>Sava</strong> Group recognises<br />

actuarial gains and losses in full in the income statement<br />

and intends to do the same in the future.<br />

• Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments:<br />

Recognition and Measurement – Cash Flow Hedge<br />

Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions<br />

(effective from 1 January 2006) – The amendment<br />

allows the foreign currency risk of a highly probable<br />

forecast intragroup transaction to qualify as hedged<br />

item if certain criteria are met. In the <strong>Sava</strong> Group only<br />

the consolidated financial statements have been<br />

prepared according to IFRSs.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 4 8 |<br />

• Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments:<br />

Recognition and Measurements – The Fair Value<br />

Option (effective from 1 January 2006) – The<br />

amendment restricts the designation of financial<br />

instruments as »at fair value through profit or loss«.<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group does not have any financial<br />

instruments that would be classified as financial<br />

instruments at fair value.<br />

• Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments:<br />

Recognition and measurement and IFRS 4 Insurance<br />

Contracts – Financial Guarantee Contracts (effective<br />

from 1 January 2006): The amendment requires<br />

guarantees that are not insurance contracts to be<br />

measured at fair value upon initial recognition. The<br />

company considers insurances and guarantees hired by<br />

companies in the Group as insurance contracts and<br />

accounts for them as contingent liabilities. Guarantees<br />

for loans are issued by the parent company for loans<br />

hired by subsidiaries. Therefore from the aspect of the<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> Group there are no contingent liabilities, since all<br />

liabilities of subsidiaries are presented in the<br />

consolidated financial statements.<br />

• Amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in<br />

Foreign Exchange Rates – Net Investment in a Foreign<br />

Operation (effective from 1 January 2006) – The<br />

Group currently has no items comprising net<br />

investments in foreign operations that will be affected<br />

by the amendment.<br />

• IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement<br />

contains a Lease (effective from 1 January 2006) –<br />

The interpretation requires certain arrangements to be<br />

accounted for as a lease in accordance with IAS 17<br />

Leases even if they are not in legal form of a lease. The<br />

Group has no such agreements made that would<br />

require dealing with according to this interpretation.<br />

• IFRIC 5 Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning,<br />

Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation<br />

Funds (effective from 1 January 2006) - The<br />

interpretation deals with funds created for the purpose of<br />

settling decommissioning and similar expenses. IFRIC 5<br />

is not relevant to the Group's operations.<br />

• IFRIC 6 Liabilities arising from Participating in a<br />

Specific Market – Waste Electrical and Electronic<br />

Equipment (effective from 1 December <strong>2005</strong>) – The<br />

interpretation deals with obligations arising from the<br />

European Union Directive regulating the collection,<br />

treatment, recovery and environmentally sound<br />

disposal of waste equipment. IFRIC 6 is not relevant<br />

to the Group's operations.<br />

• IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under<br />

IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary<br />

Economies (effective from 1 March 2006) – The<br />

interpretation contains guidance on how an entity<br />

would restate its financial statements pursuant to IAS<br />

29 in the first year it identifies the existence of<br />

hyperinflation in the economy of its functional<br />

currency. IFRIC 7 is not relevant to the Group's<br />

operations, since they do not operate in hyperinflation.<br />

• IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2 (effective from 1 May 2006)<br />

– The interpretation clarifies that the accounting<br />

standard IFRS 2 Shareholders Payment applies to<br />

arrangements where an entity makes share-based<br />

payments for apparently nil or inadequate<br />

consideration. IFRIC 8 is not relevant to the Group's<br />

operations, since there are no such payments.<br />

• IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embe<strong>dd</strong>ed Derivatives<br />

(effective from 1 June 2006) – The interpretation<br />

clarifies that the treatment of an embe<strong>dd</strong>ed derivative<br />

is assessed by the entity when the entity first becomes<br />

a party to the contract, and that reassessement is<br />

prohibited unless there is a change in the terms of the<br />

contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that<br />

otherwise would be required under the contract. IFRIC<br />

9 is not relevant to the Group's operations since it does<br />

not have any embe<strong>dd</strong>ed derivatives.<br />

b) Basis of preparation<br />

The financial statements are presented in Slovene tolars,<br />

rounded to the nearest thousand.<br />

They are prepared on the historical cost basis except<br />

property, plant and equipment that are stated at their<br />

carrying amount on the date of transition to IFRS and<br />

financial instruments classified as available for sale that<br />

are stated at their fair value.<br />

Cost of property, plant and equipment on the day of<br />

transition to IFRS is considered the fair value of these<br />

assets. In past the carrying amount of property, plant and<br />

equipment was stated at cost which until 2001 had been<br />

enhanced by annual price indices and impaired on the<br />

basis of individual value assessments according to IAS 36.<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity<br />

with IFRSs requires management to make judgements,<br />

estimates and assumptions that affect the application of<br />

policies and <strong>report</strong>ed amounts of assets and liabilities,<br />

income and expenses. The estimates and associated<br />

assumptions are based on historical experience and<br />

various other factors that are believed to be reasonable<br />

under the circumstances, the results of which form the<br />

basis of making the judgements about carrying values of<br />

assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from<br />

other sources. Actual results may differ from these<br />

estimates.<br />

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed<br />

on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates<br />

are recognised in the period in which the estimate is<br />

revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the<br />

period of the revision and future periods if the revision<br />

affects both current and future periods.<br />

The accounting policies set out below have been applied<br />

consistently to all periods presented in these<br />

consolidated financial statements and in preparing an<br />

opening IFRS balance sheet at 1 January 2004 for the<br />

purposes of the transition to IFRSs.<br />

The accounting policies have been applied consistently<br />

by <strong>Sava</strong> Group entities.<br />

c) Basis of consolidation<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group includes the parent company <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.,<br />

32 subsidiaries, 3 jointly controlled entities. The<br />

consolidated financial statements of the Group include<br />

the financial statements of all these entities. A detailed<br />

survey of the Group and changes is presented in the<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> Report under chapter 2 Composition of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group.<br />

Subsidiaries<br />

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. Control<br />

exists when the parent company has the power to govern<br />

the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to<br />

obtain benefits from its activities. In all subsidiaries the<br />

capital and voting rights are in accord.<br />

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in<br />

the consolidated financial statements from the date that<br />

control commences until the date that control ceases.<br />

Joint ventures<br />

Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the<br />

Group has joint control, established by contractual<br />

agreement between the Group and the contractual<br />

partner. The consolidated financial statements include<br />

the Group’s proportionate share of the entities’ assets,<br />

liabilities, revenue and expenses with items of a similar<br />

nature on a line by line basis, from the date that joint<br />

control commences until the date that joint control<br />

ceases.<br />

Associates<br />

Associates are those entities in which the <strong>Sava</strong> Group<br />

has significant influence, but not control, over the<br />

financial and operating policies. The consolidated<br />

financial statements include the <strong>Sava</strong> Group’s share of<br />

the total recognised gains and losses of associates on an<br />

equity accounted basis, from the date that significant<br />

influence commences until the date that significant<br />

influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses<br />

exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying<br />

amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further<br />

losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group<br />

has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made<br />

payments on behalf of an associate.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 5 0 |<br />

The capital and voting rights in associates are in accord<br />

except with Gorenjska Banka where the <strong>Sava</strong> Group on<br />

31/12/<strong>2005</strong> had voting rights in the amount of 41.1%,<br />

whereas the statute limits the voting right of a<br />

stakeholder to a maximum of 33%.<br />

Transaction eliminated on consolidation<br />

Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses<br />

or income and expenses arising from intragroup<br />

transactions, are eliminated in preparing the<br />

consolidated financial statements.<br />

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with<br />

associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s<br />

interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in<br />

the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent<br />

that there is no evidence of impairment.<br />

d) Foreign currency<br />

Foreign currency transactions<br />

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the<br />

mean exchange rate of the Bank of Slovenia ruling at the<br />

date of the transaction.<br />

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign<br />

currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to<br />

Slovene tolar at the mean exchange rate of the Bank of<br />

Slovenia ruling at that date. Foreign exchange<br />

differences arising on translation are recognised in the<br />

income statement.<br />

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in<br />

foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are<br />

translated to Slovene tolar at the mean exchange rate of<br />

the Bank of Slovenia ruling at the date the fair value was<br />

determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities<br />

denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair<br />

value are translated to Slovene tolar at the mean<br />

exchange rate of the Bank of Slovenia ruling at the date<br />

the fair value was determined.<br />

Financial statements of foreign operations<br />

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are<br />

translated to Slovene tolar at the mean exchange rate of<br />

the Bank of Slovenia ruling at the balance sheet date.<br />

The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are<br />

translated to tolar at rates ruling at the dates of the<br />

transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on<br />

retranslation are recognised directly in a separate<br />

component of equity.<br />

e) Derivative financial instruments<br />

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments<br />

to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest<br />

rate risks arising from operational, financing and<br />

investment activities. Moreover, the Group does not<br />

hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading<br />

purposes.<br />

f) Property, plant and equipment<br />

Owned assets<br />

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost<br />

as deemed cost less accumulated depreciation (see<br />

below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy<br />

under Impairment of Assets – note l). The cost of selfconstructed<br />

assets includes the cost of materials, direct<br />

labour and indirect production overheads.<br />

Certain items of property, plant and equipment that had<br />

been revalued to fair value on 1 January 2004, or prior<br />

to the date of transition to IFRSs, are measured on the<br />

basis of deemed cost, being the revalued amount at the<br />

date of that revaluation.<br />

The useful lives are as follows:<br />

Manufacturing buildings 25 – 80 years<br />

Hotel, trading buildings, warehouses 20 – 71 years<br />

Office buildings 25 – 40 years<br />

Manufacturing equipment in rubber manufacturing 4 – 20 years<br />

Hotel furnishings 5 – 20 years<br />

Equipment in stores 4 – 10 years<br />

Computer equipment 2 – 5 years<br />

Other equipment 6 – 20 years


| notes to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS |<br />

1 5 1 |<br />

Property that is being constructed or developed for<br />

future use as investment property is classified as<br />

property, and stated at cost until construction or<br />

development is complete, at which time it is reclassified<br />

as investment property.<br />

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment<br />

have different useful lives, they are accounted for as<br />

separate items of property, plant and equipment.<br />

Subsequent costs<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group recognises in the carrying amount of an<br />

item of property, plant and equipment the cost of<br />

replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred<br />

if it is probable that the future economic benefits<br />

embodied with the item will flow to the <strong>Sava</strong> Group and<br />

the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other<br />

costs are recognised in the income statement as an<br />

expense as incurred.<br />

Depreciation<br />

Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a<br />

straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each<br />

part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land<br />

is not depreciated.<br />

g) Intangible assets<br />

Goodwill<br />

All business combinations are accounted for by<br />

applying the purchase method. In respect of associates,<br />

the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the<br />

carrying amount of the investment in the associate.<br />

Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is<br />

recognised directly in profit or loss.<br />

Other intangible assets<br />

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation<br />

and impairment losses (see accounting policy<br />

Impairment of Assets – note l).<br />

Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and<br />

brands is recognised in the income statement as an<br />

expense as incurred.<br />

Subsequent expenditure<br />

Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets<br />

is capitalised only when it increases the future economic<br />

benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it<br />

relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.<br />

Amortisation<br />

Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a<br />

straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of<br />

intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite.<br />

Intangible assets are amortised from the date they are<br />

available for use. The estimated useful lives for software<br />

and other patents and licence are five years.<br />

h) Investments<br />

Investments in debt and equity securities<br />

As regards the intent of its acquisition investments in<br />

debt and equity securities are classified as available for<br />

sale. These financial instruments are recognised or<br />

derecognised by the Group on the date it commits to<br />

purchase / sell the investments. The securities available<br />

for sale are equity securities of companies that either are<br />

or are not listed at the Stock Exchange.<br />

The investments in shares are stated at fair value. Profit<br />

or loss are recognised directly in equity. When these<br />

investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or<br />

loss previously recognised directly in equity is<br />

recognised in profit or loss for the period.<br />

The fair value of financial instruments classified as<br />

available for sale is their quoted bid price at the balance<br />

sheet date. The fair value of shares and interests of a<br />

company that is not listed is estimated on the basis of<br />

recently known transactions. The fair value of availablefor-sale<br />

securities is ascertained every three months.<br />

Investment property<br />

Investment properties are properties which are held<br />

either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or<br />

for both. For evaluating investment properties the cost<br />

model is applied.<br />

Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a<br />

straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each<br />

part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land<br />

is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for<br />

investment property are 20 – 30 years.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 5 2 |<br />

For the need of disclosing the fair value of investment<br />

property is established. The fair value is based on<br />

market values, being the estimated amount for which a<br />

property could be exchanged on the date of valuation<br />

between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s<br />

length transaction after proper marketing wherein the<br />

parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and<br />

without compulsion. As a rule, the portfolio is being<br />

appraised by an independent and certified valuator.<br />

When an investment property becomes owner-occupied,<br />

it is reclassified as property, fixtures and fittings.<br />

Lease payments are accounted for as described in<br />

accounting policy "Revenue" and "Expenses" under q)<br />

and r).<br />

i) Trade and other receivables<br />

Construction work in progress<br />

Construction work in progress is stated at cost plus<br />

profit recognised to date (see accounting policy<br />

Revenue under q) less a provision for foreseeable losses<br />

and less progress billings. Cost includes all expenditure<br />

related directly to specific projects and an allocation of<br />

fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s<br />

contract activities based on normal operating capacity.<br />

Other trade and other receivables<br />

Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less<br />

impairment losses (see accounting policy Impairment of<br />

Assets under l).<br />

j) Inventories<br />

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net<br />

realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated<br />

selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the<br />

estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.<br />

The cost of other inventories includes expenditure<br />

incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them<br />

to their existing location and condition. In the case of<br />

manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost<br />

includes an appropriate share of overheads based on<br />

normal operating capacity. The use of inventories is<br />

stated at weighted average prices.<br />

k) Cash and cash equivalents<br />

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and<br />

call deposits or deposits at up to three months’ notice.<br />

l) Impairment of assets<br />

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, other than<br />

current and deferred tax assets (see accounting policy<br />

w), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine<br />

whether there is any indication of impairment. If any<br />

such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is<br />

estimated.<br />

An impairment loss of an asset is recognised whenever<br />

the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating<br />

unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses<br />

are recognised in the income statement.<br />

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale<br />

financial asset has been recognised directly in equity<br />

and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired,<br />

the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in<br />

equity is recognised in profit or loss even though the<br />

financial asset has not been derecognised. The amount<br />

of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss<br />

is the difference between the acquisition cost and<br />

current fair value, less any impairment loss on that<br />

financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss.<br />

Calculation of recoverable amount<br />

The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in<br />

receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the<br />

present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted<br />

at the original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective<br />

interest rate computed at initial recognition of these<br />

financial assets). Receivables with a short duration are<br />

not discounted.<br />

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of<br />

their net selling price and value in use. In assessing<br />

value in use, the estimated future cash flows are<br />

discounted to their present value using a pre-tax<br />

discount rate that reflects current market assessments of<br />

the time value of money and the risks specific to the<br />

asset. For an asset that does not generate largely<br />

independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is<br />

determined for the cash-generating unit to which the<br />

asset belongs.


| notes to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS |<br />

1 5 3 |<br />

Reversals of impairment<br />

An impairment loss in respect of an investment in an<br />

equity instrument classified as available for sale is not<br />

reversed through profit or loss. If the fair value of a debt<br />

instrument classified as available for sale increases and<br />

the increase can be objectively related to an event<br />

occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in<br />

profit or loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with<br />

the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss.<br />

In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed<br />

if there has been a change in the estimates used to<br />

determine the recoverable amount.<br />

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that<br />

the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying<br />

amount that would have been determined, net of<br />

depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had<br />

been recognised.<br />

m) Share capital<br />

Repurchase of share capital<br />

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased,<br />

the amount of the consideration paid, including directly<br />

attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity.<br />

Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and<br />

presented as a deduction from total equity.<br />

Dividends<br />

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in<br />

which they are declared.<br />

n) Interest-bearing borrowings<br />

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at<br />

fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent<br />

to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are<br />

stated at amortised cost with any difference between<br />

cost and redemption value being recognised in the<br />

income statement over the period of the borrowings on<br />

an effective interest basis.<br />

o) Provisions<br />

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the<br />

Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a<br />

result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow<br />

of economic benefits will be required to settle the<br />

obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are<br />

determined by discounting the expected future cash<br />

flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market<br />

assessments of the time value of money and, where<br />

appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.<br />

Provisions for severance and employee jubilee benefits<br />

The company pays contributions for health insurance,<br />

pension and social insurance fund from gross salaries<br />

during the year at statutory defined rates. Contributions<br />

are recognised as an expense in the income statement as<br />

incurred.<br />

As stipulated by the legislation, collective agreement<br />

and internal regulations the Group is committed to pay<br />

employee jubilee benefits and severance upon their<br />

retirement, for which long-term provisions are formed.<br />

No other liabilities due to pension exist.<br />

Provisions are formed in the amount of benefit that<br />

employees have earned in return for their service in the<br />

current and prior periods, discounted at the balance<br />

sheet date. The calculation for every employee<br />

considers expense for severance upon retirement and all<br />

expected jubilee benefits until their retirement. The<br />

chosen discount interest rate is 2.75% annually and<br />

represents the real interest rate. The calculation is<br />

performed by a qualified actuary using the projected<br />

unit method.<br />

Warranties<br />

A provision for warranties is recognised when the<br />

underlying products or services are sold. The provision<br />

is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of<br />

all possible outcomes against their associated<br />

probabilities.<br />

Restructuring<br />

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the<br />

Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring<br />

plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has<br />

been announced publicly. Future operating costs are not<br />

provided for.<br />

p) Trade and other payables<br />

Trade and other payables are stated at cost.


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 5 4 |<br />

q) Revenue<br />

Goods sold and services rendered<br />

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in the<br />

income statement when the significant risks and rewards<br />

of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.<br />

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the<br />

income statement as services are rendered.<br />

No revenue is recognised if there are significant<br />

uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration<br />

due, associated costs or the possible return of goods also<br />

continuing management involvement with the goods.<br />

Construction contracts<br />

As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be<br />

estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are<br />

recognised in the income statement in proportion to the<br />

tolars due to the a<strong>dd</strong>itional purchase of stakes in<br />

subsidiaries, and by 97,013,000 tolars due to a transition<br />

to a joint controlling and, as a consequence,<br />

proportionate consolidating. The increase in minority<br />

interest of 52,900,000 tolars is represented by profits<br />

attributable to minority interest.<br />

28. Accrued expenses<br />

29. Financial instruments<br />

Managing financial risks<br />

The <strong>Sava</strong> Group has a very good rating, therefore it has<br />

no difficulty in balancing liquidity and cash flows.<br />

However, due to contracting debts in euro currency a<br />

higher foreign currency risk exists. Due to a stable<br />

exchange rate and expected euro introduction the risk is<br />

low. Simultaneously with contracting debts in foreign<br />

currency the EURIBOR rate risk increases, which<br />

mainly serves as the basis for interest rates for debts<br />

contracted anew. According to forecasts this basis<br />

should rise in the future, therefore we are preparing an<br />

interest rate protection which will include all companies<br />

indebted at the EURIBOR-based interest rate. Managing<br />

financial risk is explained in chapter 9 Risk<br />

Management in detail.<br />

Sensitivity analysis of financial risks<br />

In financial risk we are highly exposed to a change in<br />

(SIT in thousands)<br />

<strong>2005</strong> 2004<br />

Accrued expenses 338,138 405,228<br />

Fair value of financial instruments<br />

the interest rate and since almost three-quarters of<br />

indebtedness is based on the inter-bank interest rate<br />

EURIBOR, its influence is the greatest. Taking into<br />

consideration the average indebtedness last year and the<br />

current structure at 31/12/<strong>2005</strong> each tenth of a change in<br />

the average annual interest rate would increase interest<br />

by almost 25 million tolars for the entire Group.<br />

If indebtedness in the Group changed by 1 billion tolars,<br />

the operating income would change by 35.3 million<br />

tolars with the average December interest rate being<br />

3.53 per cent at the Group level.<br />

With regard to the expectations and forecasts, the<br />

change in the euro rate has a considerably lower effect<br />

on operations; ever since Slovenia accessed the<br />

European Union the exchange rate has fluctuated only<br />

slightly around the centrally agreed parity exchange rate<br />

and it amounts to 239.640 tolars for one euro.<br />

Estimating fair values<br />

Securities available for sale<br />

The fair value of a available-for-sale securities that are<br />

listed equals the quoted market price on the balance<br />

sheet date. The fair value of shares and stakes of unlisted<br />

companies is estimated on the basis of last known<br />

transactions.<br />

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings<br />

The fair value is estimated as a discounted value of<br />

expected cash flows from the principal and interests,<br />

whereby the effective interest rate equals the contracting<br />

interest rate, which fluctuates and mainly changes every<br />

three months (3-month Euribor).<br />

Current receivables and liabilities<br />

For receivables and liabilities with a remaining life of<br />

less than one year, the notional amount is deemed to<br />

reflect the fair value.<br />

30. Contingencies<br />

At 31 December <strong>2005</strong> the <strong>Sava</strong> Group presents no<br />

contingencies. All known liabilities are included in the<br />

consolidated financial statements.<br />

31. Related parties<br />

Related parties include subsidiaries and associates,<br />

members of supervisory boards, board of management<br />

of the parent company and subsidiaries in the Group and<br />

their close family members.<br />

Relations with subsidiaries<br />

Business relations among the companies of the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group relate to the purchase and sale of raw materials,<br />

finished products and merchandise. Services provided<br />

within the <strong>Sava</strong> Group companies are mainly rents for<br />

real estate and equipment, the use of the trade mark and<br />

services by competence centres.<br />

Transactions among related parties are performed on an<br />

arm's length basis.<br />

For loans which associates borrowed from banks and are<br />

presented in the consolidated financial statements under<br />

liabilities to banks guarantees were issued by the parent<br />

company. The guarantees at 31/12/<strong>2005</strong> totalled<br />

10,353,612,000 tolars. Issued guarantees are considered<br />

insurance contracts according to IFRS 4.<br />

Relations with associates<br />

Gorenjska Banka d.d., Kranj is the most important<br />

associate of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.:<br />

The companies in the <strong>Sava</strong> Group raise loans with and make deposits in Gorenjska Banka. Terms and conditions for<br />

these transactions equal those effective for other companies with a similar rating.<br />

32. Events after the balance sheet date<br />

The events that occurred after the balance sheet date and<br />

are important for the company are described in chapter<br />

4.2 in detail and are as follows:<br />

• The Supervisory Board adopted a resolution to<br />

restructure the Trade division by selling the existing<br />

companies <strong>Sava</strong> Trade d.d. and MG Market d.o.o. and<br />

acquire a significant stake in the company Merkur.<br />

The information about Trade is disclosed in item<br />

28.2.2 that contains information by segment and<br />

demonstrates the influence of excluding the Trade<br />

division from the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.<br />

• By an increase in the share capital in the company<br />

Merkur and a<strong>dd</strong>itional purchases of shares <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

has implemented an important part of the planned<br />

strategic restructuring of its Trade division.<br />

Among those events there were none which would<br />

require any revisions in the consolidated financial<br />

statements.<br />

33. Key sources of estimation<br />

uncertainty<br />

Non-current provisions are formed for retirement pay<br />

and employee jubilee benefits in accordance with the<br />

law, collective agreement and internal regulations. The<br />

amount was establised on the basis of an actuary<br />

calculation which used a discounted rate of 2.75 per cent<br />

annually. In the case of a change in the law or interest<br />

rate the amount of required provisions for this purpose<br />

could change.<br />

The fair value of investment property cannot be<br />

ascertained on the basis of future cash flows as the<br />

contracts about the financial lease have been concluded<br />

for the period of one year maximum. As a fair value the<br />

book value of investment property is used. The Board<br />

estimates that there is no significant difference between<br />

the fair and book value, which mainly originates from<br />

cost value of real estate that were built in 2003anew.<br />

34. Explanation of transition to IFRSs<br />

The accounting principles as explained in chapter 28.2.<br />

have been applied in the preparation of both the<br />

consolidated financial statements at 31 December <strong>2005</strong><br />

and the comparative figures for the year 2004, as well as<br />

the opening balance sheet compiled in accordance with<br />

IFRSs at 1 January 2004.<br />

In preparing the opening balance sheet according to<br />

IFRSs the financial statements that in previous years had<br />

been prepared according to Slovene Accounting<br />

Standards were adjusted so as to consider IFRSs. The<br />

tables below show the adjustment effects on the<br />

financial position, financial performance and cash flows<br />

of the <strong>Sava</strong> Group.

Explanation of the adjustments in the consolidated<br />

balance sheet<br />

Property plant and equipment is reduced by investment<br />

property that according to Slovene Accounting<br />

Standards was classified as fixed assets.<br />

At 31 December 2003 the capitalised cost of<br />

organisation incurred by the enterprises in the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group were recognised as intangible assets in the<br />

amount of 810,030,000 tolars. These were in major part<br />

(98%) due to the opening of new OBI stores. The<br />

amount cannot be recognised according to IFRS, so it<br />

was derecognised, and thus reducing retained earnings.<br />

For the same reason, in 2004 capitalised cost of<br />

organisation incurred by the enterprises was not<br />

recognised in the amount of 15,626,000 tolars, which<br />

reduces the income according to IFRSs. Due to<br />

derecognition of these costs the amortisation totalling<br />

122,347,000 tolars referring to these costs could not be<br />

recognised. The total adjustment amount increases the<br />

income for 2004 by 106,721,000 tolars.<br />

Intangible assets were reduced due to derecognition of<br />

goodwill in the amount of 640,275,000 tolars, a transfer<br />

of leasehold improvements to property, plant and<br />

equipment (30,195,000 tolars at 1 January 2004,<br />

365,136,000 tolars at 31 December 2004), and a transfer<br />

of advance payments for intangible assets to receivables<br />

(23,616,000 tolars at 1 January 2004, 976,000 tolars at<br />

31 December 2004).<br />

According to Slovene Accounting Standards the <strong>Sava</strong><br />

Group companies did not present separately any<br />

investment property. In certain companies investment<br />

property was included in fixed assets, whereas in other<br />

companies in non-current financial investments. At 1<br />

January 2004 investment property was transferred from<br />

assets and non-current financial investments. Their<br />

value at 1 January 2004 totalled 2,706,700,000 tolars,<br />

whereas at 31 December 2004 they totalled<br />

2,337,783,000 tolars.<br />

In accordance with Slovene Accounting Standards<br />

treasury shares were presented under non-current<br />

financial investments. Consistent with IFRSs they were<br />

transferred directly to equity at 1 January 2004.<br />

According to Slovene Accounting Standards investments<br />

in associates were measured at cost until 2003, while the<br />

profit was recognised as it was paid out. In 2004 the<br />

accounting policy was changed and the investment was<br />

increased by the total attributable profits for 2004, which<br />

was recognised in the equity. Adjustments at 1 January<br />

2004 amounting to 6,451,627,000 tolars represent the<br />

attributable profits from previous years less received<br />

dividends as of the year the company became an<br />

associate until the year 2003. These profits were a<strong>dd</strong>ed to<br />

the retained earnings. Adjustments in 2004 amounting to<br />

547,260,000 tolars represent the received dividends in<br />

2004, since the investment according to SAS was<br />

increased by the total attributable profit.<br />

Consistent with Slovene Accounting Standards the<br />

majority of securities was presented as current financial<br />

investments irrespective of their actual purpose.<br />

Consistent with IFRSs and in accordance with the<br />

company policy they are all classified as available for<br />

sale and presented among non-current assets.<br />

Non-current securities are investments in equity<br />

securities of companies that are listed on the Stock<br />

Exchange as well as other companies. These shares are<br />

the financial potential of the parent company that in the<br />

future will be invested in accordance with the Group's<br />

business strategy. Therefore they are classified as<br />

available for sale. Consistent with Slovene Accounting<br />

Standards investments in shares of listed companies<br />

were valued at cost which could not exceed the Stock<br />

Exchange price on the balance sheet date. In accordance<br />

with IFRSs their value was adjusted to the quoted<br />

market price on the balance sheet date. The adjustment<br />

effect increases the fair value reserve (as the part of the<br />

equity) at 1 January 2004 by 5,601,095,000 tolars, and<br />

at 31 December 2004 by an a<strong>dd</strong>itional 4,927,790,000<br />

tolars. The fair value adjustment of listed shares<br />

amounts to 10,528,885,000 tolars at 31 December 2004.<br />

The fair value reserve is reduced by deferred tax<br />

liabilities amounting to 2,632,221,000 tolars. Shares and<br />

interests in companies that are not listed on the Stock


| notes to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS |<br />

Exchange were measured at cost according to Slovene<br />

Accounting Standards, while the company had to<br />

estimate annually the need for an impairment, thereby<br />

considering the information about company operations.<br />

Consistent with IFRSs these investments were revalued<br />

to fair value that was ascertained in consideration of the<br />

last known transaction in the previous year. The<br />

The stated effects are shown below:<br />

Cash comprises call deposits and deposits at up to three<br />

months' notice that were transferred from current<br />

financial investments (at 1 January 2004 deposits<br />

amounted to 2,387,057,000 tolars, and 172,724,000<br />

tolars at 31 December 2004).<br />

A major part of non-current provisions includes the<br />

negative goodwill being recognised in the consolidated<br />

financial statements. A part in the amount of<br />

2,558,977,000 tolars that originates from previous years<br />

increased retained earnings, whereas a part that arose in<br />

2004 amounting to 3,467,619,000 tolars increased the<br />

income of the year. Other unrecognised provisions<br />

applied to provisions for future advertising, of which<br />

35,000,000 tolars were eliminated in the opening<br />

balance, and 8,727,000 tolars in the year 2004.<br />

revaluation effect increased the fair value reserve at<br />

1 January 2004 by 1,473,493,000 tolars, and at<br />

31 December 2004 by an a<strong>dd</strong>itional 1,606,104,000<br />

tolars. Fair value reserve of the unlisted shares at 31<br />

December 2004 amounts to 3,079,597,000 tolars. The<br />

fair value reserve is reduced by deferred tax liabilities<br />

amounting to 769,899,000 tolars.<br />

any non-current provisions for certain employee<br />

benefits. On the basis of the actuary calculation<br />

liabilities for employee jubilee benefits and severance<br />

payment upon retirement were calculated at 1 January<br />

2004 in the amount of 1,423,937,000 tolars and<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>itionally for 2004 in the amount of 20,130,000<br />

tolars. The initial balance reduces retained earnings,<br />

whereas the difference reduces the income for the year<br />

2004. Deferred tax assets referring to these obligations<br />

were accounted amounting to 361,017,000 tolars, which<br />

decrease the deferred tax liability.

Explanation of the adjustments in the consolidated<br />

income statement<br />

Extraordinary revenues in the income statement were<br />

transferred under other operating revenues, and<br />

extraordinary expenses under other operating expenses.<br />

Other items were correspondingly broken down to meet<br />

the requirements of IFRSs for a separate disclosure.<br />

The substance of adjustments in the income statement<br />

affecting its amount is explained above in connection<br />

with individual balance sheet items. Below they are<br />

shown by the individual item of the income statement.<br />

Other operating revenues were increased by<br />

derecognition of negative goodwill amounting to<br />

3,467,619,000 tolars that arose in 2004, by a reduction<br />

in provisions for severance cost and employee benefits<br />

(28,569,000 tolars) and unrecognised provisions for<br />

advertising (8,727,000 tolars) and decreased for<br />

negative goodwill in the amount of 204,546,000 tolars<br />

utilised in previous years.<br />

Cost of goods, materials and services were increased by<br />

15,626,000 tolars for the cost of organisation incurred<br />

by the enterprise that were capitalised in 2004 according<br />

to SAS, and consistent with IFRSs they cannot be<br />

recognised. At 1 January 2004 unrecognised noncurrent<br />

capitalised expenses amounted to 810,030,000<br />

tolars. In 2004 their amortisation amounted to<br />

122,347,000 tolars. This amount increased the income<br />

for the year 2004. Labour costs in 2004 were increased<br />

by a<strong>dd</strong>itional provisions for severance costs and<br />

employee benefits on the basis of an actuary calculation<br />

in the amount of 48,699,000 tolars. For the difference<br />

between the reduction of provisions and formed<br />

a<strong>dd</strong>itional provisions for severance costs the deferred<br />

tax receivable amounting to 5,033,000 tolars was<br />

calculated.<br />

The share in profit of associates is the attributable profit<br />

that consistent with SAS in 2004 was not recognised in<br />

the income statement.<br />

All adjustments in the net income attributable to the<br />

Group increased the income by 6,705,616,000 tolars.<br />

Adjustments did not significantly influence the net<br />

income attributable to minority owners, which increased<br />

by 30,959,000 tolars especially due to amortisation of<br />

unrecognised capitalised cost of organisation incurred<br />

by the enterprise.<br />

Explanation of changes in the consolidated cash flow<br />

statement<br />

The form of the cash flow statement according to<br />

Slovene Accounting Standards differs considerably<br />

from the cash flow statement according to IFRSs.<br />

Therefore certain differences are not explainable. As far<br />

as substance is concerned, the difference lies only in<br />

classifying current call deposits and deposits at up to<br />

three months’ notice in cash and cash equivalents,<br />

whereas their movement according to SAS was<br />

classified in current financial investments.

Exchange rate and conversion method<br />

in domestic currency<br />

All of the items shown in the accounts books and<br />

expressed in foreign currency are converted to the tolar<br />

value at the medium exchange rate of the Bank of<br />

Slovenia as valid on the last day of the accounting<br />

period.<br />

Intangible long-term fixed assets<br />

Intangible long-term fixed assets include investments in<br />

the acquired long-term rights on industrial property.<br />

An intangible long-term fixed asset is initially<br />

recognised at cost. Cost includes also the import and<br />

non-refundable purchasing taxes. Cost does not include<br />

the interests accrued by the appearance of an intangible<br />

long-term asset.<br />

Due to its increase in value the intangible long-term<br />

fixed assets are not revalued. The mentioned method<br />

applies also to intangible fixed assets that are purchased<br />

abroad.<br />

If the book value exceeds the substitutable value, the<br />

value in intangible fixed assets will impair. The<br />

substitutable value is determined on the basis of revenue<br />

and expenses estimation, which arise from further use of<br />

the assets considering thereby a suitable discount rate in<br />

future cash flows.<br />

Tangible fixed assets<br />

At initial recognition a tangible fixed assets is valued at<br />

cost. The cost includes its purchase expense, import and<br />

non-refundable purchasing taxes and expenses which<br />

can be attributed directly to its putting in service for the<br />

intended use, especially expenses for its transport and<br />

installation.<br />

Costs do not increase the interests on loans for acquiring<br />

a tangible fixed asset until it is put in service for the use.<br />

The cost of a tangible fixed asset, which is constructed<br />

or manufactured in the company, comprises expenses<br />

that are caused by its construction or manufacturing and<br />

indirect expenses for its construction or manufacturing<br />

that can be attributed to it.<br />

Due to the increase in value the tangible fixed assets are<br />

not revalued; the effects of the impairment are shown in<br />

operating expenses from revaluation.<br />

The difference between the net sales value and the book<br />

value of a disposed fixed asset is transferred under the<br />

operating revenues from revaluation, if the former is<br />

higher than the latter and under the operating expenses<br />

from revaluation, if the latter is higher than the former,<br />

respectively.<br />

Expenses that arise later in relation to a tangible fixed<br />

asset, increase its cost value, if they increase its future<br />

benefits in comparison with the ones originally<br />

estimated. The expenses that assure the prolongation of<br />

serviceability period of the tangible fixed asset first<br />

decrease the depreciation adjustment of its value<br />

calculated by then.<br />

Repairs of or maintaining the tangible fixed assets are<br />

intended for renewing or preserving the future economic<br />

benefits expected on the basis of the originally estimated<br />

level of asset efficiency. They are recognised as<br />

expenses upon their appearance.<br />

Depreciation<br />

The value of a tangible fixed asset and intangible fixed<br />

asset that is not written off is decreased through<br />

depreciation.<br />

The tangible fixed asset starts to be depreciated on the<br />

first day of the next month after beginning of use and<br />

performing the activity, for which it is intended,<br />

respectively.<br />

The intangible fixed asset starts to be depreciated when<br />

it is available for use.<br />

The decrease in value of depreciable assets due to an<br />

impairment are not depreciation costs but operating<br />

expense from revaluation of depreciable assets, except if<br />

at its precedent increase in value the equity revaluation<br />

adjustment was enhanced. In such a case it should be<br />

used before it increases the operating expenses from<br />

revaluation of these assets.

The depreciation rates are based on the service life of the assets and amount to:<br />

Financial investments<br />

Long-term investments<br />

A long-term investment in capital, proprietary securities<br />

of other companies or debtor’s securities of other<br />

companies or the state are initially recognised at the cost<br />

of purchase, which equals either the paid sum of money<br />

or its equivalents, or the fair value of other substitutions<br />

for a purchase invested by the investor on the exchange<br />

day increased by costs that can be attributed directly to<br />

the investment.<br />

Long-term financial investments in capital of<br />

subsidiaries and associates are valued so as to be<br />

annually increased by that share of the net profit of<br />

subsidiaries or associates, which belongs to the holding<br />

company. Recording shares in profit of associates and<br />

subsidiaries increase the equity revaluation adjustment<br />

in connection with long-term financial investments.<br />

The subsequently received shares in profit decrease the<br />

originally shown increase in financial investment on the<br />

basis of a share in profit.<br />

Long-term investments in companies that are not<br />

investments in subsidiaries or associates are valued in<br />

the financial statements according to the investment<br />

method and are annually not increased by a share of the<br />

net profit that belongs to them. The allocated stakes in<br />

the profit are dealt with outside the investments and<br />

increase the financial revenues.<br />

Long-term investments, which are relocated under<br />

short-term investments, are transferred individually at<br />

their book value.<br />

Short-term investments<br />

Short-term investments in the proprietary securities<br />

of other companies and debtor’s securities of<br />

year <strong>2005</strong> - in % year 2004 - in %<br />

Intangible long-term fixed assets 20.0 20.0<br />

Buildings from 2.5 to 4.0 from 2.5 to 4.0<br />

Plant and machinery from 5.0 do 33.3 from 5.0 to 33.3<br />

Other equipment from 10.0 do 25.0 from 10.0 to 25.0<br />

companies or the state are initially valued at their<br />

purchase value.<br />

At the end of the year the value of those securities,<br />

which are listed on the Stock Exchange, is compared<br />

with the market price on the last day of the accounting<br />

period. In case that the market price is higher than the<br />

average purchase price the increase in value of the<br />

investment is not carried out. If the market price is lower<br />

than the average purchase price, then a revaluation<br />

adjustment is formed for the investment.<br />

For short-term securities, which are not listed on the<br />

Stock Exchange, the actual value is determined on the<br />

basis of last known transactions.<br />

Receivables<br />

At their initial recognition the receivables of all types are<br />

shown in the amounts that arise from the corresponding<br />

documents on condition that they will be paid. The<br />

original receivables can later be increased, or irrespective<br />

of payment or any other settlement, decreased by every<br />

amount, which is proven by an agreement.<br />

The advances in the balance sheet are shown in relation<br />

with things they are refer to.<br />

Receivables, which are assumed not be settled within<br />

the due term and in total amount respectively, are<br />

considered doubtful and, if a court procedure has<br />

already began, disputable.<br />

The revaluation adjustments in receivables are formed<br />

as follows:<br />

• a 100 per cent adjustment in all sued receivables and<br />

receivables filed in a bankruptcy proceeding, as well<br />

as current receivables, if the responsible service makes


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

1 9 8 |<br />

a competent decision that reasonable grounds exist;<br />

• an 80 per cent adjustment in receivables filed in an<br />

obligatory enforcement proceeding.<br />

Cash<br />

Cash consists of book money. Book money is money on<br />

accounts at a bank or any other financial institution and<br />

can be applied for payment. It consists of immediately<br />

available cash. The book value of cash equals its initial<br />

nominal value until the need for a revaluation appears.<br />

Cash in foreign currency is translated to a domestic<br />

currency at the exchange rate on the day of receipt.<br />

The revaluation adjustment of cash in foreign currency<br />

is carried out on the day of <strong>report</strong>ing. It appears only in<br />

case of cash expressed in a foreign currency. On<br />

conversion the mi<strong>dd</strong>le exchange rate of the Bank of<br />

Slovenia is used. The revaluation adjustment of cash is<br />

shown as financial revenue and expenses, respectively.<br />

Capital<br />

The total capital comprises called-up capital, capital<br />

reserves, revenue reserves, retained net profit or loss<br />

from previous periods, equity revaluation adjustments<br />

and temporary also undistributed net profit.<br />

Share capital is managed in the domestic currency.<br />

Long-term provisions<br />

Long-term provisions are formed from long-term<br />

accrued costs or expenses and are earmarked for<br />

covering contingent liabilities arising from lawsuits.<br />

Liabilities<br />

Liabilities are either financial or operating, short-term or<br />

long-term.<br />

All liabilities are initially recognised with the amounts<br />

arising from the corresponding documents about their<br />

appearance, which prove the receipt of cash or redemption<br />

of any operating liability, in the case of long-term<br />

operating liabilities the receipt of tangible fixed assets, in<br />

the case of short-term operating liabilities the receipt of a<br />

product or a service or performed work and charged costs,<br />

expenses or a share in the net profit respectively.<br />

Long-term liabilities are further increased by imputed<br />

interests or decreased by repaid amounts and any other<br />

settlements, agreed upon with a creditor. The book value<br />

of long-term liabilities equals their original value<br />

decreased by repayment of the principal and transfers<br />

under short-term liabilities until the need for a<br />

revaluation adjustment of long-term debts appears.<br />

The book value of short-term liabilities equals their<br />

original value adjusted by their increases or decreases as<br />

agreed upon with the creditors until the need for their<br />

revaluation adjustment appears.<br />

Short-term and long-term liabilities of all kinds are<br />

initially shown with the amounts, which arise from the<br />

corresponding documents on condition that the creditors<br />

request their repayment. The liabilities are later<br />

increased with imputed yields (interests, other<br />

compensations), about which an agreement is made with<br />

the creditor. Liabilities are decreased by repaid amounts<br />

and any other settlements in agreement with the<br />

creditor. Long-term liabilities are decreased for the part<br />

that should be paid in less than a year, which is shown<br />

under short-term liabilities.<br />

Short-term accruals and deferrals<br />

Deferred costs and accrued revenues include short-term<br />

deferred costs.<br />

Short-term accrued costs and deferred revenues include<br />

deferred input tax on a<strong>dd</strong>ed value due from effected<br />

advances.<br />

The basis for short-term accruals and deferrals are the<br />

facts determined owing to certain knowledge and put<br />

down as a resolution about the formation of short-term<br />

accruals and deferrals and book-keeping documents<br />

acquired from the external business partners.<br />

Recognition of revenues<br />

Revenues are recognised if the enhancement of<br />

economic benefits in the accounting period is connected<br />

with an increase in an asset or decrease in a liability and<br />

such an increase could be reliably measured.<br />

Revenues are recognised when it is legitimate to expect<br />

they will result in earnings if these were not already<br />

implemented at their appearance.

Operating revenues<br />

Revenues from provided services with the exception of<br />

provided services that result in financial revenues are<br />

measured at the selling prices of finished services or at<br />

the selling prices of services in progress with respect to<br />

the level of their completion.<br />

Revenues from received subsidies or endowments are<br />

measured in amounts that are approved for this purpose.<br />

Operating revenues from revaluation arise upon the<br />

disposal of tangible fixed assets and intangible fixed<br />

assets considering the equity revaluation adjustment<br />

from the precedent increase in the value of assets.<br />

Financial revenues<br />

Financial revenues are revenues from investment<br />

activities. They arise in relation to long-term and shortterm<br />

financial investments and also receivables.<br />

Financial revenues are recognised upon accounting<br />

irrespective of the proceeds if their size, maturity and<br />

redemption are not doubted.<br />

Interests are charged in proportion to the period expired<br />

and with regard to the not yet redeemed share of the<br />

principal and the valid interest rate.<br />

Dividends and shares in profit achieved in subsidiaries<br />

and associates are taken into account when they are<br />

paid.<br />

Financial revenues from revaluation arise upon the<br />

disposal of long-term and short-term financial<br />

investments considering the equity revaluation<br />

adjustment from the precedent increase in the value of<br />

financial investments.<br />

Extraordinary revenues<br />

Extraordinary revenues consist of extraordinary items.<br />

They appear in actually incurred amounts.<br />

Recognition of expenses<br />

Expenses are recognised if a decrease in economic<br />

benefits in the accounting period is connected with a<br />

decrease in assets or an increase in liabilities and this<br />

decrease could be reliably measured.<br />

Operating expenses<br />

Operating expenses are recognised when the material is<br />

used and service provided, respectively.<br />

Operating expenses are recognised in the period, to<br />

which they relate.<br />

Operating expenses from revaluation are recognised<br />

when a corresponding revaluation adjustment is carried<br />

out irrespective of their influence on the operating profit<br />

or loss.<br />

Operating expenses from revaluation arise in connection<br />

with tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets and<br />

current assets due to their impairment.<br />

Financial expenses<br />

Financial expenses are expenses for financing and<br />

investing activities.<br />

Financial expenses are recognised after balancing<br />

irrespective of payments that are in relation with them.<br />

Financial expenses from revaluation arise in connection<br />

with long-term and short-term financial investments due<br />

to their impairment and in connection with the increase<br />

in the value of long-term and short-term liabilities.<br />

Extraordinary expenses<br />

Extraordinary expenses include extraordinary items that<br />

are shown in actually arisen amounts.<br />

company pursues in performance of its activity shall be<br />

written down in the company statute.<br />

In its statute <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. has not separately laid down the<br />

company goals except those defined by the Law on<br />

Commercial Enterprises. The goal "to maximise the<br />

value of company assets" is a constituent part of the<br />

wording that represents the mission of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. and is,<br />

as well as other strategic company goals, contained in<br />

public releases and <strong>report</strong>s, which are available for all<br />

shareholders and the public.<br />

Item 2.3.2: The method of determining the level of pay,<br />

remuneration and other benefits for members of the<br />

Board of Management must first be prescribed and<br />

respect the criteria as they are presented especially:<br />

• the range of tasks of an individual member of the<br />

Board;<br />

• the performance of an individual member of the<br />

Board;<br />

• the size of the company and its financial position;<br />

• complexity of company management with regard to its<br />

business and organisational structure;


a n n u a l r e p o r t | 2 0 0 5<br />

2 2 4 |<br />

• general economic circumstances in which the<br />

company operates;<br />

• the success of the company's business performance;<br />

• meeting the strategic and annual plans;<br />

• awards to members of the Board in subsidiaries; and<br />

• recommendations for awarding endorsed by<br />

professional organisations.<br />

However, we believe that <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. does observe the<br />

provisions, but the wording of the items is inaccurate as<br />

it indicates that the company should adopt special<br />

regulations in connection with the method of<br />

determining pay levels, remunerations and other<br />

benefits for members of the Board of Management. We<br />

believe that a separate deed that would define the<br />

criteria in advance is not required and we also believe<br />

that in this way the required adaptability in decisionmaking<br />

would be reduced. Therefore we further<br />

maintain that the present arrangement according to<br />

which the issue is regulated with criteria specified in<br />

advance in individual contracts between the company<br />

and individual members of the Board of Management,<br />

while the decision about awarding the Board of<br />

Management are adopted upon endorsing the annual<br />

financial statements.<br />

Item 6.1.5: The company must change the auditing<br />

company or the auditor partner at least once every five<br />

years.<br />

Auditing of the financial statements of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. has<br />

been performed by KPMG Slovenija d.o.o., a select firm<br />

of auditors, for more than five years, but in this period<br />

the composition of the team of auditors has changed.<br />

All other obligatory provisions of the Corporate<br />

Governance Code of 14 December <strong>2005</strong>, which were<br />

published in full on the website of the Ljubljana Stock<br />

Exchange (www.ljse.si), are fully observed by <strong>Sava</strong> d.d.<br />

The vision of <strong>Sava</strong> d.d. in the field of corporate<br />

governance is the conformity of the corporate<br />

governance system with all good practices, which are<br />

determined by the most progressive Slovene and<br />

international practice.<br />

The statement on observing the Corporate Governance<br />

Code refers to the period from the implementation of the<br />

Corporate Governance Code in the amended and<br />

changed version of 14 December <strong>2005</strong> to the day of<br />

publication of this Statement on 31 March 2006. The<br />

Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of<br />

<strong>Sava</strong> d.d. discussed and adopted the Statement on the<br />

Corporate Governance Code for Slovenia on 21 April<br />

2006. In accordance with the rules we shall regularly<br />

publish a statement on conformity with the Corporate<br />

Governance Code or its future variants in future annual<br />

<strong>report</strong>s.<br />

31 March 2006 Board of Management<br />
