AS „Latvijas balzams” dissociates from all speculative statements regarding the
interview of the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kārlis Andersons, to newspaper
„Бизнес&Балтия” on March 15, 2010.

We have noticed that we don't exclude the possibility of transferring the
production plant, taking into account the current situation in excise tax
policy and the attitude of state authorities concerning the distribution of
illegal alcohol, but we didn't express any intentions for such actions.

Please find attached full text of interview to newspaper „Бизнес&Балтия” dated
15.03.2010.
