In 2011 the audited consolidated losses of JSC Ventspils nafta (hereafter – VN) (NASDAQ OMX RIGA: VNF1R) and its subsidiaries (hereafter – the VN Group) have considerably decreased – they were 12.2 million lats in 2011, which is five times less than a year ago – in 2010 the Group’s losses were 65.57 million lats. Out of these losses, the audited losses referable to shareholders of the parent company were 7 million lats in 2011, but in 2010 – 30.49 million lats. Turnover of the VN Group in 2011 was 118.2 million lats, which
is over 5.5% more than in 2010 (112 million lats).
A significant change that should be mentioned is that when
preparing the audited consolidated financial statements of the VN
Group for 2011, the VN Group has changed its accounting policy. As
a result, for the first time financial statements of JSC Latvijas
kuģniecība (LK) Group are consolidated into the financial
statements of the VN Group. Changes in the accounting policy are
the main reason why the audited financial statements of the VN
Group for 2011 differ substantially from the previously published
unaudited financial statements of the VN Group for 2011 where the
VN Group evaluated its investment into the LK Group according to
equity method in the same way as in the previous reporting years.
In the financial statements, comparatives for 2010 have also been
restated to conform to the new accounting policy.
The overall annual results of the VN Group are substantially
affected by losses of the related company JSC Latvijas kuģniecība.
While they have reduced three times compared to last year, still in
2011 they reached 24 million lats.
On December 31, 2011, the audited assets of the JSC Ventspils
nafta Group were 629.48 lats.
Parent company of the VN Group
In 2011, audited turnover of the VN Group’s parent company was
323 thousand lats, which is about 192 thousand lats or 147% more
than in 2010. Within the rendered management consultations, the
emphasis is mainly on organizing united procurements for the VN
Group’s companies, as well as receiving various corporate service
discounts, thus achieving decrease of administrative costs for the
JSC Ventspils nafta Group.
In 2011 the net profit of JSC Ventspils nafta reached 362
thousand lats, and the Management Board has proposed to transfer it
to other reserves.
In 2011 the Group’s parent company continued implementing the
strict cost cutting policy that was commenced in 2010 with the most
substantial savings achieved in administrative expenses, which have
decreased from LVL 1.47 million in 2010 to LVL 1.1 million in 2011
having a decrease in the reporting year by 25.2%. JSC Ventspils
