Letter of the president of the management board

LETTER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD


Dear shareholders, business partners, employees and stakeholders! 2010 has been a strong year for the Cimos group as demonstrated by 445 million euros in operating revenues or 15 per cent more in comparison with a year earlier. Such result ranges Cimos among the biggest Slovenian companies in terms of sales volumes as well as in terms of sale in the EU market. We operated within four strategic pillars, of which the automotive and energy pillar are the biggest, followed by the agricultural machinery pillar and the machine building and tooling pillar. With EBITDA of over 70 million euros, Cimos competes successfully with its competitors in the EU. During the economic downturn when restoring growth appeared a key challenge, most analysts predicted long lean years for the automotive industry. Only the biggest optimists believed that the car markets would be back on their feet soon and we were among them convinced that although hit hard by the crisis, the automobile industry should recover rather quickly. We have seen a decline in car sales and we can expect mobility patterns to change. Therefore, in 2009 and in 2010, we stepped up applied research and invested in development projects to foster innovation. Our optimism is built on our employees and their knowledge and skills. The results achieved in 2010 show that we have paved the way in the right direction as growth enjoyed across the automotive pillar and the Cimos group confirms. In a world struggling in 2009 to come to terms with the economic crisis, we expected the markets to remain volatile in 2010 and the crisis to cast a long shadow on the real economy. High cost of credit and tight lending conditions standing in the way of restarting economic growth forced governments to adopt measures to support their national economies. Where such action plans were too slow and inadequate, supplier networks collapsed and in many cases car manufactures had to be bailed-out by the government or go bust. Risk level along the supply chain surged and companies capital structure has become highly important to banks and customers. Thanks to its mix of knowledge and ability to deliver innovative solutions, Cimos has responded to customers orders for products designed to meet the requirements of government measures to stimulate car purchase and has strengthened the reputation of Cimos as a reliable and trusted business partner. Not only has Cimos managed to keep its existing customers, but it has acquired new ones. Delivery performance in 2010 rose to 99 per cent while the quality of deliveries in terms of rejects remained 18 PPM (comparable to the achievements of the world-class automotive suppliers).

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Letter of the president of the management board

Cimos capital structure reflects its intense corporate development, as we have invested heavily in the improvement and expansion of the existing plants and the construction of new facilities in different parts of Europe. Investments have been streamlined into R&D, IT, state-of-the-art technologies and in current assets needed to sustain the expansion of operations. The investments made in the past are todays advantage as we have in place excellent infrastructure, and development and manufacturing capacities that can cope with the set strategic objectives. Since the amount of the companys share capital has remained the same during the period of its expansion, and the shareholders equity increased only through the retained earnings kept by the company, most capital investments have been financed by borrowing money and to operate as a leveraged business is normal as long as demand remains high. With the outbreak of the crisis, the perception of leverage has changed. In addition to development and manufacturing excellence, a sound company should properly balance equity and borrowed funds. This is the task we are set to accomplish in the forthcoming period. The ideas for strategic growth pencilled in for the forthcoming period are ambitious and release adrenalin. And this is how it should be to be for all of us at Cimos to prove all our values, skills and competences. We have been recognised Tier One supplier by almost all automobile manufacturers and we are committed to maintaining and enhancing this reputation in the future with excellence in all operation fields. We have come a long way from a humble start of simple component manufacturing to a Tier One supplier. But the past performance does not guarantee future success. We have ambitious plans to give momentum inside the Cimos group. The right process organisation is a necessity as we try to optimise the processes within the company and assure sustainable improvement. It is a matter of evolution of operation management and mental framework. At Cimos, we understand the endto-end productivity as a process that starts with the research and development activities and ends with in the payment made to the bank account. As to the immediate future, I expect 2011 to be a year of growth across the board and of good business results.

Report of the supervisory board

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD


The Supervisory Board of Cimos d.d. elected at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 28 August 2008 for a four-year term of office, discharged its tasks in the course of 2010 with the same members as a year earlier: Chairman of Supervisory Board Dr. Andro Ocvirk, Deputy Chairman of Supervisory Board Aleksander Lozej, M.Sc., and Members of the Supervisory Board Meta Berk Skok, edomil Stanii and Franc Herman imnovec. In 2010, the Supervisory Board monitored with due attention and care the effects produced by the global financial and economic crisis on the companys operations, identified the targets, monitored satisfying those targets, and took a stance regarding the current issues related to Cimos and its subsidiaries. The Supervisory Board paid particular attention to the organisational changes designed to optimise business processes and resources and thus lead to the companys higher responsiveness and competitiveness when it comes to winning new contracts and delivering orders under new and already existing contracts by being able to offer in-house research and development, as well as technological solutions. The Supervisory Board endorsed the activities of the Management Board adopted with the aim to tap into fresh capital serving to enable the company to stay at the forefront of development and as a result, to enhance its position in the market. The Supervisory Board examined and approved at five ordinary sessions convened in accordance with law, the companys Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure the guidelines and resolutions falling within the scope of its duties and powers described below in this report on the basis of well-prepared and exhaustive materials and information provided by the Management Board. The minutes of the meetings of the Supervisory Board provide a balanced insight into the discourses, the questions asked by the members of the Supervisory Board and the explanations given by the Management Board and the companys Executive Directors. The Supervisory Board checked at every following session whether the adopted resolutions were implemented as agreed. The Supervisory Board addressed in 2010 all matters falling within the scope of its duties and powers without appointing special committees or working bodies to assist it in its work. A) At its 7th ordinary session held on 22 April 2010 in the premises of the Cimos production facility in Labin (Croatia) - Labinprogres TPS, the Supervisory Board took note of the information regarding the audited annual report of Cimos d.d. and the consolidated annual report of the Cimos Group for 2009. Against the backdrop of plunging orders, credit crunch and wide-spread uncertainty, Cimos managed to preserve its internal stability, development continuity and jobs. In 2009, the financial crisis that exploded in 2008 continued hitting hard light vehicle manufacture that decreased by 28 per cent in the beginning of the year and posted a 12.6 per cent decline for the whole year. The fact that the power consumption dropped in manufacturing led to a fall in electricity price and forced decision-makers to re-examine plans for investment in the construction of new facilities for power production. As regards the market for farming machinery and implements, Cimos experienced its motocultivator sales plunge in the worst figures and most motocultivators are produced in Cimos plants. The sales figures posted by the machine building pillar were slightly below the budgeted figure. At Cimos d.d., 320.8 million euros was earned in net sales revenue or 20 million euros less than a year earlier. The Cimos group posted in 2009 the amount of 367.5 million euros in consolidated net sales revenue, and this figure is

016

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Report of the supervisory board


by 93 million euros below the figure achieved a year earlier. The Supervisory Board expressed the opinion that given the global crisis and the situation in the Slovenian economy, the companys results are good on the whole. The companys operating results improved in the first quarter of 2010 in comparison with the same period a year earlier. Its revenues increased by 22 per cent, productivity grew, profit from ordinary activities increased by 11 per cent, and net profit for the period rose by 72 per cent. In comparison with the budget, the revenue grew by 6 per cent and the net profit for the first quarter was by 21 per cent above the budget. In addition, the members of the Supervisory Board learned about the activities and results of each line of business or pillars: agricultural machinery and implements and tooling and machine building, and they were also informed about the pending reorganisation of the automotive pillar. When it comes to the agricultural mechanisation pillar, Cimos is committed to pursuing the strategy based on manufacture of farming equipment and implements in its own production plants for the end buyer, engineering for irrigation systems and ecological services, as well as being the manufacturer of original equipment (OEM). In addition to the irrigation systems, the activities to be performed within the framework of this line of business include the development of services such as planting permanent crops, and in the area of ecological services, effluent (wastewater) treatment, waste management and waste-disposal site upgrading and pool equipment. The pencilled in value of own production of final goods and original equipment manufacture (OEM) and services will arrive at 49 million euros in 2020. The members of the Supervisory Board heard about the blueprints with the organisation of the pillar complete with the production units, development, marketing, purchase and logistics, as well as a unit for quality assurance and after-sales customer service. By enhancing the activities carried out in the area of tooling and machine building, the competitive advantage of the automotive pillar will increase and it will prop up the vertical integration and the concentric diversification strategy across the Cimos group. The tooling and machine building pillar will be able to offer products and services with higher value added and to exploit its production capacity, expand in-house skills and expertise and reduce dependence on production for the automotive industry. At the tooling shops in Koper, Senoee, Maribor and Kikinda, employees handle all phases of the operations for precision machining, tools for machinery for casting, machining, assembly and tooling transformation. This organisation of this line of business (pillar) envisages units specialised in manufacture, marketing and purchase, development and technology. According to the blueprint, the pillar will arrive at 250 million euros in sales in 2016. The organisational model in place will be designed with the aim to facilitate the process of satisfying the milestones on the road to higher competitiveness, quality, flexibility and meeting delivery deadlines. The targets to be achieved through the reorganisation of the automotive pillar are sharpening the companys competitive edge, new business opportunities and lower costs. The lean manufacturing concept will be introduced at all company levels, the processes will be standardised and the resources used optimally. A general view (synopsis) of the processes, production programmes by lines of business, product families and their respective market shares, the process for managing the supply/ supplier chain, support processes, corporate objectives, management levels and the escalation concept was presented to the members of the Supervisory Board. The automotive pillar will organised so as to co-ordinate the operations of the production plants and carrying out of the central functions at the level of a region (country). The Supervisory Board approved at its 8th ordinary session held on 3 June 2010 the annual report and accounts for 2009 with the consolidated annual report for 2009 complete with the Independent Auditors Reports. The members of the Supervisory Board approved the report on the work of the Supervisory Board and the examination of the annual report for 2009. The Supervisory Board indicated it had no objection to convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 26 August 2010 and approved its proposal of the resolution to be passed by the Annual General Meeting regarding the profit for 2009 available for

appropriation by the companys shareholders in the amount of 714,830.75 euros to be allocated to other revenue reserves, and to grant a discharge to the Management Board and to the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board proposed to the Annual General Meeting to appoint the audit company Renoma, druba za revizijo in svetovanje d.o.o. for the audit of the companys financial statements for the financial year 2010. The members of the Supervisory Board discussed the initiative given by the IFC for closer co-operation with Cimos and the approved guidelines. The 9th ordinary session of the Supervisory Board held on 16 September 2010 was called to examine investment opportunities. The Supervisory Board approved the resolutions serving to safeguard the interests of the company and all its shareholders. At the 10th ordinary session held on 18 November 2010, the Supervisory Board examined and approved the unaudited interim report of Cimos d.d. for the period ended 30 September 2010 and congratulated the Management Board and the employees on the results achieved. The bottom line of the discourse was that the automobile market was gradually returning to growth as shown by much higher orders than in the first half of 2009. Nevertheless, the market for light vehicles did change together with changed customer behaviour, and the competition among car part suppliers became intensified further. After fourteen months of the downward trend, it was in June 2009 that there was a 2.4 per cent increase in car sales in the Member States of the European Union. In 2010, the trends observed in the automotive industry included accelerated mergers and acquisitions, getting a foothold in the new markets around the world, reducing time-to-market for the vehicles fuelled by alternative energy sources, participation in the purchase process and focus on vehicle supply chain management solutions. The automotive pillar of Cimos d.d. achieved 221.7 million euros in sales revenue for the first nine months of 2010. The group generated for the same period 286.9 million euros in consolidated net sales revenue. The assessment of the Management Board for the financial year 2010 was that the sales figure would be 310 million euros. The total value of the contracts for new projects awarded to the automotive pillar of Cimos is 82.3 million euros. It is the pace of increase in the companys business that accompanies the budgeted value of its new business deals. The partnership concluded with a Russian car supplier for braking systems is a significant step toward winning new contracts in the Russian market for the development and manufacture of components of the automotive industry scheduled to kick off in the second part of the following year. The earnings made by selling equipment and services within the framework of the energy equipment pillar for the period ended 30 September 2010 was 45.8 million euros. The sales to foreign markets accounted for 79 per cent of the sales revenue, and 21 per cent of output was sold in the Slovenian market. The estimated value of net sales revenue of the equipment and services for the energy sector in 2010 is 67.5 million euros and it is slightly below the figure budget for the energy equipment pillar in 2010. The equipment and implements for farming sold during the first nine months of 2010 amounted to 4.3 million euros and this figure is slightly below the budget. This shortfall can be attributed to the disappointing sales of parts for farming equipment practically being half of the budgeted figure. Other production programmes fared much better during the period under review and achieved a 18 per cent increase in sales revenue in comparison with the same period a year earlier and were in line with the budget. The sales revenue for the twelve months of 2010 will add up to 5.1 million euros and this figure will be at the 2009 level. The sales revenue generated within the framework of the tooling and machine building pillar for the first nine months of 2010 totalled 10.5 million euros and this figure was in line with the budget. Machinery and special tools were produced for the Cimos production plants. Running parallel to tooling and machine building operations for its manufacturing facilities, the company produced and sold machinery for the buyers from Russia.

The public limited company Cimos earned 262.7 million euros in net sales revenue, of which it earned 255.5 million euros in the markets outside Slovenia or as much as 97 per cent of its total sales revenue. The sales plan for that period was exceeded by one per cent. Based on the forecasts made until the end of the year, the annual sales plan will be exceeded by two per cent. Together with other operating, financial and other revenues, the companys total revenue is set at 268.5 million euros. Total expense incurred by Cimos d.d. for the first nine months of 2010 stood at 266.9 million euros and exceeded the total expense item posted for the same period by 15.9 per cent. The achieved operating revenue figure was accompanied by revenue from operations of Cimos d.d. of 11.1 million euros for the first nine months of 2010. The net profit of Cimos d.d. (public limited company) was in the amount of 1.6 million euros. The members of the Supervisory Board received the information about the fire in the plant in Zenica, the terms and conditions of the insurance policy and the impact of the loss event. The Supervisory Board also addressed the positions for the preparation of the business plan/budget for the financial year 2011. The budget pencils in 387 million euros in operating revenue to be achieved by Cimos. Further to the companys capital position, the Supervisory Board has instructed the Management Board to present at one of the forthcoming sessions a material about capital strengthening and proposals for the activities to be undertaken in order to obtain the necessary capital, and to send to the Supervisory Board the letter signed by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and by the President of the Management Board in June 2010 to the IFC. The members of the Supervisory Board were informed of the progress of the reorganisation due to enter the final phase. The last 11th session of the Supervisory Board in 2010 was held on 23 December 2010. The Supervisory Board approved the budged of the public limited company Cimos for the financial year 2011 that pencils in the consolidated balance sheet for the Cimos group for 2011 with the amount of 454 million euros in revenue, 418 million euros in expense, 36 million euros in operating revenue and 7 million euros in net profit for the reporting period. As a result of price fluctuation, there is a 4.5 per cent decrease in revenue. The Management Board explained that no reduction in the costs of borrowing was envisaged, but efforts for delivering optimum liquidity were brought to the forefront. There are consequences of foreign exchange gains or losses where the items of property, plant and equipment have been converted to equity. The foreign exchange gains or losses are 4.5 million euros. It would be possible to recognise an adjustment to the carrying amount of the items of property, plant and equipment and decrease their carrying amount but the Management Board did not do it and preferred to optimise the tax balance sheet. The members of the Supervisory Board met with the persons responsible for the particular segments of the automotive pillar and having power to make proposals as to setting the targets and organisation. The Supervisory Board learned about the time schedule and the objectives, the integration of the marketing function previously organised as a separate function, the measures for delivering a competitive and technically competent supply chain, the organisation of production facilities with the focus on efficient production management and the region as a support function. The Supervisory Board resumed the examination of the investment opportunities started at its 9th ordinary session and instructed the Management Board to prepare additional expert opinions and findings. The Supervisory Board thanked the secretary of the Supervisory Board responsible for

B) The Supervisory Board examined the consolidated annual report of the Cimos Group and the annual report of Cimos d.d. for 2010 within the statutory time line. The Supervisory Board examined the independent auditors reports in which Renoma druba za revizijo in svetovanje d.o.o. expressed its opinion that the financial statements give a fair and true view in all material respects of the financial position of the reporting entities Cimos d.d. and the Cimos group as at 31 December 2010 and their income statement and cash-flow statement. The Supervisory Board acknowledged the qualified auditors opinion to the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Cimos group, as a consequence of the different legislation in effect in the countries in which the subsidiaries Cimos are incorporated (mostly those that operate in Serbia) and specifically the rules regulating foreign exchange losses that differ from the statements made in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Supervisory Board had no objection to the consolidated annual report of the Cimos group and to the annual report drawn up by Cimos d.d. for 2010; hence, at its 15th ordinary session held on 30 June 2011, the Supervisory Board gave its unqualified opinion to the annual reports, complete with the Independent Auditors Reports.

# 6. [Economic trends]
According to the recent evaluations of international institutions including the OECD, the global economy hit hard by the 2008 financial turmoil and the economic crisis is recovering slowly driven by the strong economic revival in some Asian countries. The faltering world trade coupled with lack of business in all sectors of the economy including manufacturing, orders, investment, income and especially international flows of goods and services resulted in plunging GDP figure in the first half of 2009.

World economy
According to analysts, the world economy is recovering. The volume of the world trade rose by 16.7 per cent during the first ten months of 2010 year-on-year, even though the impetus was lost in the last months of 2010. Double-digit growth was registered in China (10.3 per cent), although India was very close with 9.7 per cent growth. Emerging and developing countries, Japan and Russia registered higher growth in comparison with the eurozone countries where the economy grew at the rate of 1.8 per cent.

European Union
In 2010, economy of the eurozone started to recover after a harsh 2009. Recovery was visible in the second quarter of the year and remained steady until the end of the year. # GDP in the eurozone increased by 1.8 per cent year-on-year. Growth enjoyed in the markets of our main trading partners was even higher than growth in the eurozone on average. The European Central Bank and the EU Commission expect a slow recovery of the European economy and GDP growth between 0.7 per cent and 2.1 per cent in 2011 and growth between 0.6 per cent and 2.8 per cent in 2012; slowing down of the world market growth will have influence on export activities of the euros area, that shall increase after a period of high growth in 2010 (10.7 per cent) for 6.1 per cent in 2011; along with feeble economic recovery unemployment remains high (in December unemployment level in the eurozone reached 10.0 per cent while in the EU 9.6 per cent); in the last months of 2010 interbank rates did not vary a lot. In December 2010 the value of 3-months EURIBOR amounted on the average to 1.023 per cent, which is 34 basis points more than in January 2010. In the first months of 2011 the values started to rise.

On the average the value of the US Dollar with respect to the euro was in 1.3257 USD for 1 EUR. Therefore, in 2010 the US Dollar gained of 5.0 per cent with respect to the euro.

Slovenia
In 2010, economic growth was almost entirely a result of export growth. Since companies and households were reluctant to invest, it is unlikely that the Slovenian economy will soon recover. Analysts say that the national economy grew between 2004 and 2007 from 4.3 to 6.8 per cent mainly driven by a rise in investment from 5.6 to 11.9 per cent. At the same time growth in household spending increased from 2.7 to 5.00 per cent, and export increased from 12.8 to 31.1 per cent. Clearly, investments played an important role in Slovenias economic growth. In 2009, growth of GDP ground to a halt when investments dropped by a 12 per cent. In 2010, Slovenias GDP increased by 1.2 per cent and recovery was slower in comparison with the eurozone (1.8 per cent). After a 8.1 per cent fall in 2009, the level of GDP is still far below the 2008 level reached; # # # export rose nominally by 13.7 per cent but it is closing the gap with the pre-crisis level more slowly than in many EU countries; manufacturing grew by 6.8 per cent as opposed to 7.2 per cent achieved in the EU-27 and in comparison with the 2008 level, it is 8.6 per cent lower, whereas this figure is 12.7 per cent in Slovenia; registered unemployment rate was 10.7 per cent in 2010 or 1.6 percentage point more year-on- year (9.1 per cent) and the number of the employed continued to fall

Many countries witnessed record-high car sales in 2009 and in the first half of 2010. In the second half of 2010, the trend was reversed as the subsidy schemes ran-out and car sales plunged.

Car sales fell in the second half of 2010 in all markets of Central and Western Europe. In total 13,360,599 new cars were registered in 2010 in Europe or 5.5 per cent less than a year earlier. In contrast to new car sales, car production in Europe has rose by almost 10 per cent. The stocks of cars produced in the pre-crisis years that axed orders placed with suppliers no longer exist and car plants are back in business. Forecasts in the automotive industry are rather reserved. Despite sale volatility and swings in 2010, a period of slow recovery is expected. Car sales in the European market should increase by 3 per cent as opposed to global sales expected to rise by 5 per cent or even more. Passengers cars sale in Europe (est.)

Energy market situation


After a relatively long period of high demand, 2010 will be remembered as one of the most difficult years since the 1929 Great Depression. Consumption of electric energy in industrial countries fell for the first time after the Second World War and generated surplus of electric energy in the market leading to falling prices. Before the recession, the price of electric energy in Europe was 80 EUR/MWh, and under 50 EUR/MWh in 2009. Such situation in the market stalled many new energy projects in industrial countries and consequently affected the energy equipment industry. Lack of investment was also felt in the traditional markets such as: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro. The most affected by the economic crisis were Europe and America, less Asia (still attaining high rates of economic growth). Especially Asian countries with fast growing economies (China, followed by India) are striving towards energy policies that assure safe and reliable supply of energy, competitive pricing and environmental sustainability. Renewable energy resources play a key role in the balanced system of sustainable energy supply. Among renewable resources of electric energy, hydro energy has the longest tradition. Water represents the most important renewable energy resource. About 21.6 per cent of all electric energy in the world is produced by exploiting water energy. The advantage of water energy exploitation lays in the fact, that this energy does not produce greenhouse gasses. Long life-span is another important thing, as well as high efficiency and relatively low operating costs of water power plants, what announces a long-term bright future to this branch. Because of the increased share of renewable energy in the productions structure (known as dependent on weather conditions) a scheme of pumped storage power plants is planned as a reserve for a reliable operation of the power system. According to the IEA forecast, a 70 per cent growth in electricity generation is

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Business Overview
expected until 2030. The share of hydro energy will be 14 per cent. In a long-term, this should benefit our energy equipment pillar. However, we should keep in mind that competitiveness shall remain at the forefront of our effort to preserve our market position. There are many new competitors in the market such as Chinese manufacturers and we have to step up cooperation with local companies in line with the principle: I produce where I sell. Investment opportunities are in countries with high potential energy of water: in Europe (the Alpine countries) and in Scandinavia. Today, more than half of the existing medium-size hydroelectric power plants are over six years old. The age factor indicates how such capacities need to be refurbished. This represents our opportunity. Possibilities are open in fast growing markets of Asia and Turkey.

Agricultural market situation


Agricultural production in EU covers about 40 per cent of the world production. The estimated annual EU income deriving from this field in 2008 was 28 billion euros. About 4,500 companies producing agricultural equipment are actively involved in this industry, with 135 thousand directly employed people and 125 thousand indirectly employed. Around 20 per cent of EU agricultural production is exported. Strong competition prevails in the market of agricultural mechanization. Competitive advantages are integrated in companies i.e. producers of agricultural equipment and machines, who are able to offer to consumers major safety, efficiency and comfort. In the last period changes have been implemented within the structure of products in the market. Demand is focused on tractors with major power, new and specialised (smart) attachments and on the hobby programme, while other products (beside multicultivator) are disappearing from the market. Trends in agricultural equipment in the European as well as in the global market are: # # # # specialised machines and high-tech equipment; specific needs and work optimization (faster, better, cheaper); bigger dimensions and higher powers of machines; new machines for market niches and multifunctional machines.

During the year under review, global sales of mechanization for farming decreased by 16 per cent to 58 billion euros. The sales figures for Europe dropped by as much as 22 per cent. The figures produced by UnaCom, a PR and business management organisation, reveal that with 17 per cent tractors and harvesters were hit hard, motor-cultivators followed with 10 per cent and trailers with 3 per cent. Irrespective of such negative trend in the last two years, analysts expect the agricultural (equipment and machines) market to be back on track by the end of this year.

Machine building market situation


We can witness major changes caused by the global crisis within this operation field in the last two years. Because of a sharp operation drop in all industrial fields, some regularity started to change. One of the most affected fields is production of vehicles, especially cargo vehicles. At the beginning of crisis, companies in this field have slowed down development activities and investments. Because of the lack of new projects and reduction of demand for serial tools and machines, machine building was faced with strong crisis. The fact is that capacities are exceeding demand. In addition, we are faced with new competitors in the global market. With our solutions we must defend our offer from competitors coming from China, S. Korea, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Mexico, etc. This is not contestable. However, a contestable thing is that customers are comparing different offers despite the fact that they know the advantages of each one but at the same time these offers do not provide the same quality solution.

034

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Business Overview
Crisis has struck developmental cycles in industry. Along with sluggishness in 2008 and in the 2009, in the last period we are facing a re-boosting of development activities and a faster launching of new projects. In times of crisis, companies started to optimise costs, consequently their capacities. Capacities were then directed to their key activities. Customers expect from suppliers: active collaboration in development activities, short flow times, flexibility and adequate price. Quality cannot be listed among expectations, because it is a fact. Expectations of customers abroad are reached with specialisation and passage of machine and tools projects for products on turn-key basis. The companies in machine building field in Slovenia make approximately 55 per cent of value added in the machine/ tools building and 6 per cent in of value added in manufacturing field. During the last five years, their value added was increasing faster than all manufacturing companies did on average; consequently, their share in value added increased, too. The Slovenian companies in machine building field are export-oriented and boast a high level of technical culture. They are present in the markets around the globe with almost 70 per cent export of production and of brands.

Business Overview

# 7. [Annual business plan]


Annual operational objectives of business processes, facilities and operating functions and constant monitoring of their efficiency within the Cimos group is changing from year to year on the Progress plans basis. During the year under review, the automotive pillar of the Cimos group overhauled the Progress plan formation process. Such change offered a closer connection between strategic and annual targets and a major harmonisation between operating functions in factories, their targets and activities. Changes are going to be implemented to the other three pillars of the Cimos group, starting with the energy pillar in 2010. The annual Progress Plan is made on the basis of the corporate strategy until 2016 and serves to align the annual targets with the achievement of medium- and long-term strategic objectives. Based on the contemporary principles of the balanced objectives between all the participants, the following medium-term strategic objectives until 2012 have been set out: # # # # # # increase in the volume of sale, increase in the operating revenue, achievement of higher return on investments and increase net cash flow, update and extend the product families, develop and introduce new production programmes with the emphasis on the assurance of excellent and advanced system solutions for customers, ensure faultless, safe and in-time delivered products and services to meet expectations of our customers and users, ensure a safe, healthy and stimulating working environment, which offers a creative and dynamic work and creates satisfaction among employees and gives opportunity for personal and professional development, increase efficiency in energy consumption and reduce all types of environmental strains.

The medium-term objectives have been drawn up to approach long-term objectives by stages exceeding the short-term and one-year periods. The stated medium-term objectives represent the starting point for a short-term plan i.e. for the so-called Progress plan comprehending one year and covering all the annual objectives. Strategic objectives represent WHAT do we want to achieve on a long-term. Annual objectives, on the other hand, represent WHAT do we want to achieve in the current year. But the key question is HOW to achieve the annual objectives. The reply to this question is given by specific annual projects and activities that represent the main content of the Progress plan. Each activity has a definition of its purpose and a measurable target, responsible person or responsible operating function, a team or participating operating functions and a term plan. Some activities are more complex and distributed to sub-activities, which can be performed in single factories or single business divisions or factory in accordance with the policy of the holding activities. On this basis we have developed a range of objectives, from the top, longterm and medium-term Companies targets, which are defined with the strategy, to annual objectives of the operating functions and facilities and in some cases even to lower objectives aimed for the divisions or even for individuals working within such division. The objectives must have interactive harmonisation and shall be classified per priorities, what is being assured within the decision-making and activity- and target-taking process, conducted in work-shops and attended by all the executive directors, operating functions directors and facility managers. The described Progress plan is presented with the X-matrix scheme. The X-matrix gives to the management an effective overlook of the connection between activities and targets and over the course of activities. Furthermore, the employees receive the information in what manner the activities, they are performing, contribute to the achievement of the strategic objectives of the company. Although the Progress Plan is only the first step of the management process known as the P-D-C-A circle, it is the letter P for plan that should lead us to our targets. To achieve the set targets and realise the Progress Plan, we are focused also to

038

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Business Overview
other activities of the PDCA circle: D-do, C-check and A-act, which can all be covered within regular management. Management comprises the implementation of the agreed operating activities and the activities from the Progress Plan (D), constant monitoring of such activities (C) and adequate action-taking in case of deviations (A). The meaning of constant depends from the level on which the Progress plan activity is monitored. In general, Cimos management reviews the status of the activities and indices so-called management reviews every four months. Executive directors review the progress made against the benchmarks set for operating functions and facilities at least once per month. While in facilities and operating functions the managers review the activities with priority each month and operating activities and indices at least on a weekly basis. The heads of sections in facilities monitor the operating activities on daily basis and team managers once per shift. A review at whichever level shall be followed by adequate reaction: corrective actions in case of negative deviation or standardisation and transfer of good practice in case of deviations from the set target. We are fully aware that in order to achieve such ambitious strategic objectives, we have to carry out successfully all four letters of the PDCA circle; pencil in the right and harmonised objectives, projects and activities for the progress and perform them in accordance with plans. Monitor their implementation constantly and consistently and act in case of deviations from the plan and from the set objectives.

# 8. [Reorganisation]
In the current year, efforts to improve operating efficiency have led us to the reorganisation of the automotive pillar operations. Such activity was not meant as a formality, but rather as a continuous process to be put in place through different phases: reorganisation, optimisation and rationalisation. When embarking on a company overhaul, it is not about inconsiderate cost cutting, but rather a challenge, profitable growth for the Cimos group. The objective can be achieved only by making a shift from traditionally organised operations to a processoriented business. Instead of rigid vertical functions where limits are exactly defined, the reorganisation creates a net or mesh of multifunctional groups i.e. teams and information running horizontally within the company. Optimisation of three main processes: # # # sale and development of products: production programmes organised as multifunctional groups, having clear ownership and responsibility for product, from its definition until expiry of its life span; manufacturing: reorganisation is focused on production processes. Lean production has been introduced in standard production processes, organised within four regions. All other functions support the production process; logistics: a centralised process of in-time products delivery.

The main objective of reorganisation is cost reduction and removal of waste needless activity. At the same time it will provide a clear overview over meeting of two targets: customer satisfaction and profit for shareholders.

The company recognises the importance of environmental stewardship and safe mobility. Its Chassis and Car-body production programmes contribute to road traffic safety. Cimos is a long-term development supplier (Tier One) of the Chassis parts to a wide range of customers. As a strategic partner, the company is involved in the early stage of concept design of a new car model as its brake system (pedal boxes, handbrakes, brake drums and disks). The new generation systems will comply with the latest safety and environmental standards and will contribute to better safety in road transport, major comfort of driver and passengers. Car bonnet hinges for active pedestrian protection (Car-body parts) are produced by having in mind a higher level of pedestrian safety in case of impact. The hinges are mounted on the German premium car brands. Optimisation of one of the main processes product sale and development will lead us towards modification of production programme organisation. In 2011 the production programme will be redesigned and Cross-industry products will be added.

Customers and new orders


Cimos product families cover more than a 10 per cent of the European market share. Products about 260,000 daily delivered in 2010 are installed in different car models, among which: BMW, Mini, Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Audi, Ford, Toyota, Volvo, Fiat, Opel, VW, Aston Martin, Daimler and the Russian Avtovaz. Year in and year out there are less and less European car brands that do not feature one of the Cimos components. As regards new projects, the revival of the automotive industry is a most welcome sign. The majority of automotive manufacturers are intensively working on new projects launching of new car models on the market. We are following customers activities. Under such dynamics we endeavour to accomplish our projects. The majority of orders for new development and production projects have already been acquired from our existent customers. However, we shall not ignore minor projects from new customers (from the premium cars segment).

New markets
The most noticeable fact in the 2010 is improvement of operations of those automotive manufacturers, who increased their presence in the growing markets. Market and production globalisation, which brought wealth in many in the past non-developed countries, has created new needs for increased mobility. Consequently new markets have originated, representing a new potential for automotive manufacturers.

Cimos is also partners other manufacturers by establishing consortiums to enter new markets. In 2010, the sales amounted to 63.7 million euros, of which the domestic and foreign markets accounted for 32 per cent and 68 per cent respectively. The largest sale share in foreign market was created in America (30 per cent), in the former Yugoslavia territory (18 per cent), Asian market (11 per cent) and in some countries of West Europe (8 per cent). Realisation by production programme: # Turbines sold in Europe and Asia accounted for the bulk of sales since the deliveries of the equipment for the Bhavani II and III projects in India were completed, as well as for the Limberg II project in Austria, for the Dubrava hydroelectric plant in Croatia and for the hydroelectric plant Peruica in Montenegro; the first deliveries of the equipment for Sv. Petek in Macedonia were also made in 2010. The deliveries for the first of two units of the refurbished hydroelectric plant Edsforsen in Sweden and to the Slovenian power plants were completed; Turbines sold in the North and Central America accounted for a smaller share of total sales; Spare parts for pumps accounted for one per cent of total sales.

After a hard work over preparation and presentation of offers, search for new customers and partners, improvement of relationship towards customers, product integration, search for new operating models, cost reduction etc., in 2010, we have finally succeeded and have acquired more orders than in the past two years, despite harsh economic conditions. New orders came mostly from foreign markets. We were effective in India, Iran and Scandinavian countries. At the end of year we succeeded and broke into the USA market. Unfortunately, among the new orders there are no projects for the domestic market and for markets on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. With the purpose of intensifying our service activity and preservation of relations with customers, increase of new business possibilities, we have implemented the COMOS project in 2010. Within the project we have re-installed business relations with customers, who have ordered our turbine equipment in the past years.

2010 will be remembered for efforts to boost sales and investments in the internal organisational adjustment of production, stocks and optimisation of production plans and cost reduction. Sales campaigns and promotions in all important markets and special prices offered to the employees of the Cimos group were organised, with a large publicity campaign and other promotions of the products sale. Activities within the agricultural pillar have been oriented towards the participation in numerous regional and international fairs. Collaboration has been spread to a major number of new customers and marketing scale in new markets has increased significantly. All these activities and the efforts made within production programmes of the agricultural pillar have produced results. Despite a plunge in sale of agricultural machinery, the total sale value increased by 4 per cent. Percent change in value of sales revenue per product line (in %)

While sales of agricultural equipment (tractors, attachments, two-wheel tractors, ) have increased of more than 21 per cent, sales of agricultural machinery parts (integrated into agricultural equipment of a German brand name) have dropped for 19 per cent. Drop of this programme is the outcome of a decision taken by our German customer to transfer a part of production in India, and the other part in Germany, where free production capacities appeared at domestic suppliers as a consequence of lower economic activity. Despite structural changes in the production programme, the structure of sales markets remains unvaried. The most important market is the Croatian; despite a reduction in sales activities in 2010. Loan terms have worsened and some subsidies were cancelled. As the outcome, sales of tractors has diminished. Opposite trends were registered in the Turkish

market, where sales grew up. Traditional markets of Bosnia and Herzegovina and of Serbia were marked by poor growth, mainly because of sale campaigns, price discounts and other investment incentives. In spite of difficult economic conditions, in the 2010, we were successful in entering new markets and it is a good starting point for the future. Our products were exported to Hungary, Portugal and Belgium for the first time. Collaboration with Iran and Denmark where demand for tractors is high has been sealed with the sales contacts. Good news come from other Scandinavian countries, too. The conditions in the market for agricultural machinery and equipment have been changing fast and without a warning. The economic situation in Croatia and in other export markets will tailor the manufacturers results in the forthcoming period. We are ready to make the necessary changes and adapt to the market in terms of increase of sales activities as well as in terms of extension of product lines. High hopes have been pinned to the launch of new models Tuber 50 and Tuber 60, with trailers (and a wide array of implements) to be used both for the new tractors and for Tuber 40 already in the market.

# 10.4 Machine building and tooling pillar


Year by year, the sales value of the machine building and tooling pillar is growing. Custom machines and tools have been manufactured for our production plants. At the same time we manufactured and sold machinery to customers from Russia and India. Big opportunities for growth are offered by the Russian market and by markets of the former Soviet Union. As announced for 2010, activities for upgrading of the Machine building and tooling pillar were performed. During the regular session of the Supervisory Board in April, a concept of operations referring to the machine and tool building pillar has been presented. Strategic guidelines from market segmentation to plans for development of the brands recognisability, new products and services, connections and realisation of growth have been presented. The concept of revival was presented mostly with the purpose to intensify competitive primacy of the automotive pillar, support to the strategy of vertical integration and concentric diversification of the Cimos group, research of products and services with major value added, better exploitation of production capacities of machine building and intensifying of the know-how, as it has been established that tool-shops are operating only locally. None of the machine building centres is organised as independent legal person. They operate within and for a production facility, where they are located. They are not subject to constant pressures from external competition and this reflects in their competitive position,

# 11.1 Automotive pillar
From the development point of view, 2010 has been an intense and successful year. The cooperation with the majority of customers increased consistently. For a company in the automotive branch research and development activities of proper products represent a central competitive advantage. Without internal development capacities and competences in today's circumstances, it would be rather difficult to operate within the automotive branch that has come to a turning point in terms of products. Because of social, climatic and other changes, the present motor vehicles will completely change in future and will become different products more efficient, ecology oriented, safe and computerised. Cimos standard products will change essentially and become more mechatronized. This is the reason why Cimos is making intense investments in new development and production technologies, facilitating the pursuing of trends and active co-formation. Cimos orientation in the automotive industry is pursuing the development of safe, energy effective solutions within four key areas:

Engine and Gearbox:


# in collaboration with the customer BMW, the main activities were focused on development of engine bracket for the new MCV vehicle. The objective is to develop a polymeric bracket with a 30 to 50 per cent lower mass in comparison with traditional aluminium brackets and with 30 per cent lower price. It is an extremely demanding technical challenge, because brackets having limited volume and mass must guarantee mounting function and loadings in case of collision that happens in a very short time; as regards BMW we have continued with development activities for other engine brackets. For the first time we have used advanced functions, the so called digital muckup, with CATIA V5. We are speaking about virtually composed vehicles, i.e. about preventive checking of collisions occurring between the product and the environment. Another important project is the development of engine bracket for the new generation engines EURO6; as regards the major business partner in this field, PSA, the first half of the year

Chassis:
# # development of auxiliary brake and pedal boxes for the BMW new car models has been completed; a conceptual development of auxiliary brake and pedal boxes for the new BMW platform UKL was brought to a close. The development project was led within the BMW project team in Germany. For Cimos this project represents recognition and a big opportunity. In 2011, many activities focused on the acquisition of a serial order will start; Intensive work is going on in development and optimisation project of the Renault auxiliary brake for the Russian market. We have started with a conceptual study of an exchangeable handle for Opel, within the OPEL Mini Junior project; a concept development of auxiliary brake for PSA was completed with success. The project was followed by an order for serial development and production the first aluminium handbrake lever developed in Cimos; We have acquired an order for development of pedal systems for two Renaults projects for the Russian market, namely development and installation of production for an improved model of Dacia Logan in Russia; intense activities for a concept development of the Audi brake pedals are in course; the objective is to achieve 50 per cent weight reduction by employing hybrid design, metals and polymers; In terms of other chassis parts the main activities were focused in acquisition of the CAE methodology for development of shock absorber lever and of hydrostatic bracket; Activities over installation of a new laboratory for testing of brake drums and disks were conducted in Koper. This will give us the opportunity to obtain additional development activities for this product family; Together with Ford we have been performing improvements of brake disks and drums for Ford Fiesta and have been trying to find design solutions for noise reduction; For the project of brake drums and disks project GAZella NEW we have installed new business collaboration with the Russian company GAZ from Nizhny Novgorod; Cimos competences in terms of development and production of brake disks and drums were presented to a potential customer in Germany (producer of brake plates for passenger and commercial motor vehicles).

Turbo:
# # # # The main development activities were focused in the development of four types of centre housings for the Audi project; collaboration on the PSAs turbo-compressor housing; we have acquired an order for development of a new generation 3-part insert a component part of turbo-compressor that will integrate two, up to now separated functions; in agreement with the main customer for turbo components, our development engineer started to collaborate in the customers development centre in Thaon Les Vosges, France. Cimos will intensify its presence in development groups and projects of this customer. It is very important for the planned takeover of developmental activities planned for the future, such as: contemporary engineering for development of compressor housing for the PSA project; intense activities were implemented in the case of two new customers. At present, development of production processes for new turbo components is in course.

Regarding the development field we have prepared new and pursued with the realisation of projects that were co-financed from different home and EU funds for the support of the R&D activity: # In collaboration with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, we have continued with activities focused on the EURECA E!4480 OMDAP Modal properties optimization of dynamically loaded car parts to enhance their fatigue life project. The project was completed on 1 July; According to the plan we have continued with activities of the research-development project Electric auxiliary brake the 2nd generation and Development method for modelling of consequences at extreme loaded designs. In collaboration with Magna Steyr, Graz, we are carrying on activities for optimization and preparation of market activities for the 1st generation EPZ; With partners within the ACS and on the basis of a public tender of the Ministry of the Economy and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology we have prepared two projects and were successful: SiEVA (Synergistic Ecological Safe Car) project groups competences, potentials and development infrastructure in order to develop new solutions for advanced internal combustion engines, hybridisation and electrification of cars, safety and comfort and business excellence; SiMIT (Sodobni Materiali in Inovativne Tehnologije Modern Materials and Innovative Technologies): partners will focus activities in research and development of new, innovative and ecology sound new materials, techniques and technologies; In collaboration with the Laboratory for Dynamics of Machines and Structures of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ljubljana, we have prepared and acquired the project Structural dynamics in automotive industry that will be co-financed by the Slovenian Research Agency ARRS.

In 2011, Cimos will carry out a host of other important tasks and cope with challenges.

# 11.2 Energy pillar


As regards product-related R&D activities within the framework of the energy pillar, we followed in 2010 the milestones set out the Operating Plan that elaborates on three main business processes: # # # application and basic research work for the projects financed by the government organisations, product development including making offers, engineering and advising, product and project development for turbines, pumps and industrial equipment for the provision of contract and project project-related specifications and drawings for all phasesm of implementation.

Licences of an engineering programme package Ansys Mechanical, replacing the existent obsolete package Algor (not efficient to perform analyses of turbine systems)

were ordered. The new programme will be used for demanding calculation of hardiness of turbine elements and turbine equipment. Renewal of licence for the package Ansys CFX will give us the possibility to perform calculations of fluxes in wet parts of turbo machines/ equipment. Purchase of the fore mentioned licences will enhance competition of our development work. Both programmes are in use. Programme package Ansys Mechanical has been applied for hardiness analysis of the Kaplan turbine elements for HPP Zlatolije and standard analyses of projects in course. The CFX program was used for flux analysis in pressure regulator for HPP Bone Creek, characteristics analysis of the double Francis turbine HPP Franquelin, characteristics analysis of the valve for HPP Toro 3 and flux analysis of turbine for HPP Lee. It has been also employed for flux analysis of the turbine SAXO. Research projects work is proceeding in accordance with the programme. Projects were co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the EU. We will also cooperate in a new research project (cavitation modelling in turbines), co-financed by the Slovenian Research Agency. The objective of a three-year long project (with the involvement of our researchers) is the development of a tubular turbine with reduced exposure to cavitation occurrences during long-term function. Research work (preparation of project technical documentation) of project and construction engineers is carried on. We were involved in preparation of technical documentation for the following projects: HPP Krko, Bone Creek, Doblar 1, Toro 3, Khoda Afarin and Pyhkoski. A good part of development time requires finding solutions for nonconformities in production and unpredictable activities connected with solution of specific issues on the equipment (visible only during trial operation of machines). In the hydraulic laboratory in Blansko, the Czech Republic, we have performed with success two acceptances of Francis turbine models for the project HPP Doblar 1 and Toro 3. At end of 2010 we have started to work on a model of the Kaplan turbine for HPP Khoda Afarin. The hydraulic laboratory is operating within the company KD Blansko Engineering. In December, a successful acceptance of a Kaplan turbine model for HPP Pyhkoski was performed.

# 11.3 Agricultural pillar


In the area of agricultural machinery we are striving to increase the market share. Lot of energy has been put in the development of new products that are interesting for our final customers. Our key development projects in 2010 were: # tractor Tuber 50: the tractor concept is based on the chassis of the Tuber 40 model with application of a more powerful engine. We are endeavouring to develop a tractor, whose components will be common to the ones used for the Tuber 40. By this we will optimise production of the existent tractor and of the new one; weight transport trailer for Tuber 40: a one-axis transport trailer with carrying capacity of 3,500 kg and equipped with a hydraulic and pneumatic system (together with electric equipment) is in its developmental phase. The trailer will facilitate loading and unloading as it will have the possibility to open in three sides; loading ramp: an attachment for tractor Tuber 40 and 50; it fits on the front side and it is used for manipulation of bulk or solid cargo. Project includes development of a loading ramp, capacity up to 250 kg with carrying capacity up to 1,000 kg. flail mower: particularly suited for cutting grass, shrubs on all green areas, golf play grounds and other areas. A flail mower with hydraulic arm is in its developmental phase. Driving of mower is guided through a transferable mechanism. rotation mower RK 100: an attachment for the existent two-wheel tractor Special Green product of the TPS brand. A prototype has been already constructed and it is in testing phase. improvements on transmission gear of Special Green: with the purpose of breaking into a new market we produced a transmission system of the two-wheel tractor Special Green. The transmission gear has a reinforced differential gear that facilitates transport of a heavier cargo. A prototype is ready and was tested in our production facility by a potential customer.

# hobby range: Labinprogres TPS operates in the market of half-professional and professional agricultural machinery and in cooperation with partners in the segment of small agricultural machines, i.e. hobby range. With the purpose of spreading our production we will start to implement more important activities in this range of products, too. tractor Tuber 60: starting project phase for a more powerful tractor. A prototype has been planned for the second half of 2011. The project will comprehend development of product and process.

# 12. [Procurement]
Cooperation activities between customers and suppliers are remodelled in longterm partnerships. What we expect from our suppliers is not only sharing of knowhow, experience and information, but rather sharing of common vision, strategy and objectives. The establishment of a long-term cooperation is not sufficient. Focusing on a long-term improvement of cooperation performance is indispensable. We expect our suppliers to prove their technology-production competency, technical and quality compatibility, competitiveness, know-how, experience and best business practices and willingness to invest, learn and improve. Within the automotive branch companies are no longer competing as individuals but rather as supplying chains involved in everyday value deliveries to customers. In harsh conditions appropriate selection of suppliers has become even more important and critic in terms of competitiveness and reliability in meeting the deadlines and quality requirements. Suppliers have a direct influence on prices, product function and on the supply chain.

Raw material markets situation


Material prices increased in 2010 because of the recovery in economy, especially of the automotive and transport industry. More than a real demand, acquisitions of hedge funds have influenced growth of material prices. At the end of the year, insurance companies started to raise credit limits to automotive industry and to suppliers on the basis of better financial results and forecasts of the automotive industry. Factors that have influenced the market price of primary aluminium were beside the rise of price by LME (London Metal Exchange) also rise of producers premiums as a consequence of silicon price rise and energy products price rise. Price of secondary aluminium is formed in dependence of the aluminium scrap. However, the correlation is not linear as the market price is influenced by the level of demand and by speculative purchases and forecasts. The early recovery phases, mostly in Asia and South America, spurred interest in commodities. As a consequence, record trading values on the metal exchange occurred. Volatility of the global economy in 2010 has contributed to LME to achieve a record trading of 120.3 million euros. Major trading activities were focused on the aluminium (42 per cent of the total LME trade), copper (27.5 per cent) and zinc (15.6 per cent). Trading with steel has achieved record values, too. Trading quantity of steel rods on the LME has increased six times in 2010. World production of primary aluminium increased in 2010 of 3.8 per cent to 24.3 million tonnes with respect to year 2009. Production capacities ended to 26.8 million tonnes in 2010. Chinas aluminium production increased of 24 per cent in 2010. Production of crude steel topped a record value of 1,414 million tonnes or 15 per cent more year-on-year. All major steel producers gained a two-digit growth in 2010: EU and America registered a higher growth because of lower production in 2009, while Asia and the CIS states registered a drop in comparison with the 2009. Availability of production capacities in December 2010 resulted of 1.1 per cent higher than a year

052

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Business Overview
earlier, i.e. 73.8 per cent. The bulk of crude steel s production is in Asia (63 per cent), Europe is on the second place with a 15 per cent share, followed by North America and the CIS states with an 8 per cent share. Production in the rest of the world covers less than a 6 per cent share. Chinas steel production has increased five times in the last ten years, covering a 44 per cent share of the global steel production. China has been striving for decades to modernise its steel sector. The government ordered to 2,087 steel and aluminium foundries to shut down some of the oldest production facilities until end of September 2010. By shutting down smaller and poorly equipped productions they may well reach modernization and major competitiveness. In 2010 use of such financial instruments has spread to iron ore field as well, as consequence of altered trading conditions in the international market with three largest mining companies.

Supply chain management


At beginning of 2010, we activated the B2B portal for supply chain management. All potential and actual suppliers are the B2B portal users. The B2B portal will give to suppliers complete information about supply chain management, about strategies and objectives. In mutual cooperation sharing of mutual objectives between customer and supplier is of a vital importance. Such objectives give support to Cimos procurement strategy that it is oriented towards building of an innovative, competitive and reliable supply chain. Key processes such as nomination of supplier, product and process development and serial production are now supported by documents available to suppliers on the B2B portal. We would like to standardise and harmonise activities and procedures by considering the automotive standards and customers requirements. Electric data exchange gives us the possibility to shorten reaction times between the actors of the supply chain; it offers a faster access to documentation, R&D documentation and better transparency of processes. B2B brings another advantage a systematic approach in the formation of the supplier base, i.e. of a base comprehending potential suppliers for new projects. Suppliers will be monitored on regular basis, evaluated with regard to their capability and adequacy to cooperate within the automotive branch. Within the portal we have defined steps and conditions for integration of potential suppliers in new projects, which are oriented in available know-how, experience, operating practice, available resources and production capacities, competitiveness and innovation. The purpose was to present concepts as the condition to start a mutual cooperation and to check, together with the supplier, the areas that would be suitable for Cimos support in terms of training and development of suppliers. The environment we are involved in is very dynamic. The contents of the portal will be adapted to new requirements and expectations of the automotive manufacturers on regular basis. On the initiative of the Chamber of Craft and Small Businesses we have organised a trade fair in Cimos. With regard to a lively interest for the event the fair was visited by companies, who are not involved in business activities with Cimos and for which we have evaluated that there are possibilities for cooperation. Part of the day was designed to the presentation of Cimos and of Cimos functions; interaction with the supply chain and the other part was focused on the technologies and products, particularly those offering the possibility of a joint cooperation. A lot of attention went to business practice and to legality applicable in the automotive industry such as: dependence within the supply chain, preventive actions in all processes from product/ process development to the assurance of a reliable supply to customers, in time and in quantity, and management of innovations. As regards the development field, we have spoken about development competences in terms of analyses, tests and prototype activities and other trends oriented in modularisation.

# 13. [Production]
Technologies
2010 did not favour the introduction of new technologies because we were under the influence of the past years economic condition and of the credit crunch that is still a topic. Despite all we continued with the development of new products and production means. Our objective was serial production of products described in the sequel. Most new projects are appointed on existent production means and are achieving their optimum exploitation. At the same time there is no need for additional investments in new equipment. The system for nodulation of steel alloys in a foundry in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been developed, manufactured and installed in the 2009, represented the basis of a technological upgrading. In 2010 we have acquired three important projects: two for an existing customer and one for a new one. All the three projects are subject to intense development activities in terms of casting process, machining and assembling. Serial production is expected at beginning of the 2011. In the Serbian subsidiary (steel foundry) capacities (steel micro-casting) are being filled well. We have acquired another important project brackets for diesel injectors; a development project with start of production planned for the 2013. On the basis of a large number of successful projects and strategic connection of Cimos with its biggest customer, we have launched projects for development of casting and machining of high-alloyed and high-temperature-resistant steel turbines. Sizes of engines are being reduced, and turbo compressors are more and more used for gas engines. Beside this, requirements for reduction of carbon monoxide emissions, carbon dioxide emissions and solid particles and on the other hand demand for the increase of combustion temperatures will unlatch the demand for such products in the future. For this reason we have started with development of steel casting (steel turbines) in a foundry in Serbia and with development of machining in a manufacturing facility in Slovenia. In Bosnia and Herzegovina we have launched a manufacturing and assembling process for the new nozzle ring of the third generation (GTC). At Cimos, the range of components is increasing and calls for the introduction of new technologies. In Slovenia, new technological solutions in machining process for production of demanding steel flywheels for Volvo and Ford made possible the acquisition of new projects for flywheels and have doubled occupancy of production capacities. Development of casting process and machining process of a complex and dimension-demanding aluminium product (housing of EGR valve) for the new customer Continental has been completed. In this period the first serial deliveries are starting. Beside before mentioned projects we have started to develop a process for a large number of Cimos traditional products and systems. In terms of engine and gearbox parts we started with development activities in the first half of 2010 all parts refer to the new generation of car components subject to Euro5 standard and are the result of excellent development and production cooperation with customers. A major optimisation of existent processes and increase of productivity casting and machining will give us the possibility to introduce these processes almost without additional new sources. To optimise material flow in production processes and between production facilities we have performed many internal transfers of production in 2010. Furthermore, we have performed in-sourcing for more than seven important products.

Process optimization
With the view of making adequate management and improvement of processes become a permanent, systematic and goal-oriented practice, we took up and pursued the Lean Manufacturing methodology in the manufacture programmes of Cimos. Guided by the

054

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Business Overview
vision where adequate command of and improvement of processes would become a permanent, systematic and goal-oriented practice, we have taken up and pursued the Lean Manufacturing methodology in the manufacturing programmes of Cimos. The Lean Manufacturing deals with manufacturing processes from order entry pattern for warehouse items through all necessary and unnecessary manufacturing steps until goods are sent to the customer. The bottom line of the lean production is to remove as much waste as possible from the manufacturing process, i.e. chop off the activities that fail to add value to a product or in any other way keep products on the valuestream map and consequently lead to unnecessary manufacturing cost hikes. Results are shorter reaction times to inquiries and customers orders, shorter flow-times from start of development to the serial production, to ordering and shipment, more capable and effective processes with a less waste and other unnecessary activities. In 2010, we continued with the implementation of a new production system at the Senoee manufacturing facility in collaboration with the company Honeywell. The system is based on the Lean Production methodology and on the Toyota production system. The new production system brings radical changes within the organisation of Cimos, as well as in the production management and within the manufacturing facility. It is a fully integrated system approach in five steps that includes, beside production, all active operating functions within the plant, considers the employees and changes the sphere of activity and the method of approach of the organisation managers in all hierarchy levels. Lean production is not only based on the lean tools and work methods but rather on people, who are consistently eliminating causes of waste in their work processes under the mentoring of the manager. Within the implementation process there are many other practical trainings performed by the managers under the mentoring of the Honeywell instructors. Up to now we have succeeded in the implementation of the project on half of manufacturing capacities and have improved results of production facility in the following areas: safety, productivity and reliability of deliveries and reduction of stock and costs. In 2010, the project has been extended to the second half of the facility and will be accomplished in the first half of 2011. In parallel with this pilot introduction which is proceeding under the help of external experts we have started to prepare material for autonomous introduction of CIPROS, without external help, in other two Cimos production facilities. Within this plan we have completed a standard introduction procedure of (SPU) CIPROS and are preparing material for practical training upon introduction. In 2010, we have performed trainings of Lean production for the employees in the Slovenian and Croatian production facilities. In the 2011 we will perform the fist training for key employees from the Serbian and Bosnian production facilities. Trainings are important because are spreading knowledge within Cimos and prepare better foundations for a faster and more effective introduction of CIPROS.

Suggestions for improvement


At the Cimos group, we recognise that our employees and their expertise are the most valuable corporate asset. Driven by the goal to give a fair chance to all employees to demonstrate their knowledge and to harness it at the place of employment to the best of use to their personal interest and to the benefit of the company, Cimos has established a system to collect, evaluate and reward constructive proposals. The TINS system encourages the employees to be creative and innovative for the sake of the entire Group: Tvoja Inovacija Napredek Sistema translates into Your Innovation is System Benefit. The TINS system is in place in most production facilities of the Cimos group and all lines of business (pillars), with exception of the companies that recently joined the Cimos group. In 2010, as many as 7,484 constructive suggestions for improvement were made by Cimos people. On the annual scale it means 1.46 proposals per employee. Effectiveness of the TiNS varies from facility to facility. The most successful facility in terms of the number of constructive proposals per employee boasts 6.3 constructive proposals per employee on average. In general, these proposals address local issues and apply to individual work places, machines, and tools, they aim at improving the ergonomics of work places, etc. Some proposals go beyond local interests and result in major economic benefits. Total economic benefit generated by these constructive proposals across the Cimos group was 1.6 million euros.

Business Overview
The award for the innovator of 2010 on the level of the Cimos group was conferred to Toma Cek of the Semoee facility, with 124 useful proposals and to Ivan Kuhar of the Maribor facility, whose useful proposals in the past year have contributed to 273 thousand euros of savings.

# 14. [Investments]
In the past years capital investments in Cimos were streamlined on development projects and development of the new generation technologies, as well as on modernising production capacities. Despite changes in the market and across the business landscape, Cimos has continued to invest in R&D projects expected to be realised over the next few years and to strengthen the reputation Cimos has in international markets a global supplier of proprietary solutions. The Cimos group has embraced a rather restrictive investment policy largely oriented towards the development of products and completion of investments already under way. The capital investments in property, plant and equipment made in the first half of 2010 should pave the way for the projects of the Slovenian subsidiaries Cimos TAM, Cimos TMD Ai and Cimos TMD Casting (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Livnica Kikinda Ai (Serbia) and of Cimos d.d.

# 15. [Quality assurance]


In times of reduced car sale activity, quality of products is becoming the most important factor at our customers. Each delivered non-conform product may represent a functional disturbance in the assembling process and cause dissatisfaction of customers. Therefore, we pay major attention to production process by detecting and removing all real and potential product defects before shipping the goods to the customer. Fully integrated quality is built on each employee representing a key factor in the performance of activities within a particular operating process. Integration starts at the establishment of the customers needs, it is pursued through our operation processes and it finally expressed in the satisfaction level. In 2010 the quality level in terms of PPM (part per million), i.e. number of supplied products with defect out of million supplied parts, was improved in comparison with year 2009. We have achieved with the level of 18 PPM (parts per million). In comparison with 33PPM of the 2009, this years result is a success. We are now a step closer to our single-number target i.e. a target minor than 10 PPM. However, to achieve this target it will be necessary to make some radical changes in our work, as the conventional working methods are not enough efficient to pursue such target. New requirements are performed with constant improvement of the existent production processes and with a systematic adoption of industrial methods and practices when planning new processes. The final objective is represented by faultless quality and effective compliance with the customers requirements that is the sole assurance of a long-term competitive advantage. In 2010, the companies of the Cimos group performed the following principal quality activities: # regular annual renewal of the ISO/TS 16949:2009 quality management system certificate in the companies within the automotive pillar, i.e. in Cimos d.d., and in the manufacturing facilities in Koper, Senoee, Buzet, Ro, Maribor, Vuzenica, Kikinda, Seanj, Srebrenica and in Gradaac; implementation of the quality management system and the certification under

# 16. [Information technology]


During the year under review, business data processing was focused on the effective application of the system, representing the major opportunity in the crisis. On the one hand the crisis has slowed down investments in new IT equipment, but on the other hand it has opened orientation to a more rational employment of the existent capacities. The most important activities were: # # SAP trainings throughout different production sites (about 50 workshops); completion of a pilot project for the development and introduction of our own production sub-system within the automotive pillar, performed in the Buzet facility. Results were within our expectations. Therefore, it has been extended to all locations of the automotive pillar, having integrated the SAP system, i.e. in Koper, Senoee, Maribor, Labin and Gradaac. This phase will be accomplished in 2011; introduction of the SAP business-information system within the newly established company CIMAT d. o. o. that has formalised the machine building and tooling pillar. The company started to operate at beginning of 2011; upgrading and introduction of modifications in accordance with customers requirements in terms of EDI data exchange; upgrading of the Windows 2003 system to 2008 within all key network servers in all Cimos group locations; upgrading of the Tivoli Storage Manager to version 6.2 and acquisition of first experience with data de-duplication. In future it will be very important in terms of reduction of the hardware used for data storage; central application for revision of the consumption of energy-generating products that will be introduced to the Cimos group. Locations equipped with data collection system have been already included; performance of cost rationalisation analysis for fixed and mobile telephony. Within the offer of local communication connectivity providers we started to update access from remote locations to Cimos group IT network.

# 17. [Risk management and control]


Doing business in the international market involves facing challenges and taking risks. Under the present economic circumstances that are marked heavily by the global financial crisis a fast reaction has a major importance. 2010, our attention was focused on questions of how to protect the companys profitability, how to improve cost management, how and which projects shall be financed in times of financial limitations and how to preserve efficient cooperation with business partners. The crisis has transfigured the importance of different risks and action-taking needs in the risk management control. Risks that have been weighed as less important or with minor impact on the operations in the past, were classified on a higher position during the year under review. Among major risks we have ranged payment risk and credit risk and investment risk among minor risks. The major focus is laid on risks in the field of sales, procurement, products, employees, finances, manufacturing, IT and assets. External risk is related to changes of the microeconomic operation terms in single sphere of operation. The global crisis has increased the exposure to these risks. Within the operations of the Cimos group the sales risks are divided in short-term sales risk and long-term sales risks. Short-term risks are represented by risks of unpredicted loss of one or more existing businesses during the current financial year and by risks of insufficient acquisition of new orders in comparison with the annual orders plan. Long-term sales risks are a progressive reduction of sales activities within several years period, with one or more strategic customers, caused by different external or internal causes. The automotive branch is subject to constant pressure from customers because of its competitiveness. Competitors in this market are active and aggressive. It is therefore, necessary to protect incessantly the existent business activities with proper competitiveness. The customers pressure was expressed in terms of prices. It is constantly focused on the lowering of sales prices and increase of proper competitiveness in the automotive manufacturers market. Sales prices are largely defined during the acquisition of businesses and for many years in advance, consequently the long-term agreements with the main customers encompass the dynamics of productivity, sales price reductions within the products life-span extending from three to six per cents annually. From this point of view, Cimos is constantly involved in negotiations for the preservation of the existent businesses and acquisition of new ones. By doing so and by elaborated planning of the sales activity, the company is managing the sales risks. Sales management is analysing the possible deviations from the planned activities, in short-terms (monthly) and annually. In accordance with these analyses the management is taking actions for the maintenance of the planned sales effectiveness and for minimising all the potential sales risks, on which we are reacting by raising the productivity through improvement of technology and organisation. As regards prices of incoming raw materials, particularly of aluminium and iron, we are demanding from the customers a proper indexation, acknowledgement and implementation of adequate raw materials price increase and increase of prices for repro-material in the final products sales prices. Customers accept the indexation with time-lag and in some cases price increases are not even recognised in whole. We are trying to built in the price indexation the fluctuations of the main energy products prices. Control of project risks encompasses processes concerning the identification, analysis and reaction to project risks. The major risk is represented by activities that do not allow deviations and/or repetition. Among the key project risks we have ranged risks connected with the achievement of the planned investment economy with a successful activation of investments in the development of new products and with a successful introduction of new technologies. Innovation and creativity in installing new

Business Overview
processes and exploitation of the overall equipment efficiency that sprang out because of a reduced orders, represent the key factors for the achievement of the economic efficiency in new projects and of a competitive position in the acquisition of new businesses. Adequate planning and controlling of the investment effects play a major role. Therefore, risks related to the introduction of new products and technologies are becoming minor, but only with a correct project approach that helps monitoring of the achieved targets and that defines corrective activities in deviation cases. Despite the activities for the reduction of the exposure to risk, the estimations are showing a relatively high exposure to investment and development risks, because of unpredicted changes in the business environment influencing the planning reliability. Containment of production risks, under the present circumstances, is represented by the need to fill the capacities of some programs and the over-filled production capacities in other programs, changes in the law regulations on fuel consumption and emissions and on active and passive safety regulations. By considering all the activities that reduce the exposure to risk, we have evaluated production risks to be relatively low. The personnel risk field throughout the Cimos group has experienced some differences in the 2009. As a difference with the past years, when the major risk had been represented by the lack of high-level expert staff, during the year under review, this type of risk resulted to be not of major interest. Despite the forecasts, in the social environment as well as in the business environment, that have indicated a high fluctuation, Cimos did not perceive it. Data even show a minor number of terminations of employment, in comparison with 2008. 2009 was denoted by consistent observance of promises, agreements and legal provisions, regulating the employment relationship and the dialogue with employees and their representatives. Such observance has rendered possible a possible response from the employees, who were prepared to adapt to changes. Staffing needs were well harmonised and did not provoke activities that would have jeopardise the fulfilment of the customers orders. As regards management of risks related to procurement of raw-material, material, goods and services, the awareness of the importance of the role and influence of the supplying chain and other members within it is in forefront position. This is forcing the automotive companies in the formation of a containment system and development of the supplier chain. The supplying chain management system demands definition of processes, cooperation terms, exchange of information, sharing of know-how, experience and common objectives. The automotive industry chain is based on reliability; therefore the operating concept of the procurement function is based on the evaluation, selection and development of the supplying chain with clearly defined tasks, procedures, tools and methods. Methods that have been developed within the automotive branch, demand planning of processes and are oriented towards detection of potential risks and in-time solutiontaking actions. The evaluation of suppliers adequacy and competency starts with the market research and it extends on until performance of series delivery to Cimos facilities. We are creating a wide range of alternative suppliers offering us, at the same time, two components: safety and competition. Procurement processes are modelled in such way, to give control over suppliers. In this way the primary objectives of the automotive industry reliability and stability of the supplying chain are assured. The objectives of the Cimos supplying chain are stalking our customers targets. Therefore, they are focused in the assurance of deliveries within the required quality, time and quantity from a confirmed source to the target location, under competitive terms and in accordance with the automotive standards and methods, emphasizing the process of continuous improvements. We are developing the potential suppliers base that is constantly renewed and up-dated. Within this activity we are monitoring the suppliers performance comprehending weekly and daily quality performance and supplying reliability of the potential nominated suppliers. Regular evaluation and checking of suppliers in terms of technical-technological competency, developmental reliability, competitiveness cost containment, innovation, reliability and reactivity represent the main guideline of everyday activities. Suppliers are constantly trained to upgrade their know-how and audits are performed over their systems and processes. Furthermore, we are offering them support in the introduction and management of processes and are involving them within project teams. All activities are focused in the prevention and solution of risks within the procurement chain.

Business Overview
Information risks are associated with the arrangements for the dissemination of important information to key users, prevention of abuse of information and by ensuring that timely and sound business, financial and investment decisions are taken. In order to effectively mitigate information risks, we have introduced the unified business and information system SAP in all subsidiaries of the group, we maintain software and hardware, as well as communication and network interface, on a regular basis, we install up-to-the-minute firewalls to stop unauthorised access to the computer system, and we provide appropriate staff training. A new work instruction Plan of continuous operations of the information system in Cimos was elaborated for each location. The plan describes actions in case of risks that might occur in a part or on the whole information system. Furthermore, the plan describes the establishment of the infrastructures operation: system rooms, servers and their services and communications. Team members for crisis management, timescales for establishing operations of servers and services, and indications of important contacts have been defined within the plan. Risks of property loss are connected with the management of property and transport risks. As some important property risks with appropriate commercial clauses defining provisions of limitation of liabilities between contracting parties within the sales contract are transferred to suppliers and in some other cases to insurance companies, the exposure to this risk results to be small. Operators responsible for maintenance of energetic installations are constantly trained with the purpose to upgrade their expert knowledge and to guarantee safety and reliability of the energy installations and efficient energy consumption. Employees are constantly trained for fire-fighting. Each location has a group of employees qualified for fire-fighting. These groups have been trained and informed about evacuation modalities in case of fire. With the purpose of risk reduction we are paying attention to the collaboration, information and consultation with the employees. We have defined a communication mode with the employees. Positive results are visible in quick solution of minor risks. This contributes to the increase of the employees satisfaction and to reduction in the number of accidents. As regards product-related risks, our focal point is on management and control of those risks that could lead to incorrect functioning or malfunctioning of our products in the market. Management process of product-related risks is composed of two parts management of risks deriving from product development process and risk containment in the production process development. Within product development process risks derive from product and products function definition. For their management we are adopting, besides experience and information from the market, different analytic methods such as: DFMEA, DOE, Design for 6 sigma and others. All requirements of users (product, production, market processes and legislation) are taken into consideration within the process. Risks in terms of production process development are represented by the product, which is not developed in accordance with a precise definition and that might represent a limitation in achieving the required function. Risks that have been identified throughout the development phase of production processes are categorically removed. Risks are measured with adequate development systems as well as with quality definitions within the quality management systems built in accordance with the ISO/TS 16949:2009, ISO 14001: 2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards. Major focus is put on financial risks. In the Cimos group a key currency risk is represented by the volatility of exchange rates for the Swiss Franc, US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Croatian Kuna and Serbian Dinar. In 2010, we made a partial insurance by adequate exchange-traded futures and whenever necessary we adopted the currency SWAP. Among the instruments for the insurance from exchange differences the company adopts the natural hedge and the netting policy. Risks related to changes of value of some currencies are not insured. Financial markets do not offer instruments that may give an efficient solution for this kind of risk. In case of long-term finance lease, where contracts were made in CHF, a provision

062

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Business Overview
regarding a possible change of currency to euro has been agreed, in dependence of a more advantageous parity (currency SWAP without costs). As CHF became overrated the company had negative figures of exchange differences (but not for transactions). From the point view of cash outflows, the best solution for the company was to retain long-term liabilities in CHF. The LIBOR interest rate for CHF remained lower than the EURIBOR rate for euro. By considering the pay-offs of interest rates and of leasing ratios, the outflows proved to be lower than they would be if the company had agreed long-term financial lease contracts in Euro, including the exchange differences. In 2010, the difference between interest rates 3-month EURIBOR and 3-month LIBOR for the CHF resulted to be on average 0.62 per cent, however, interest rate LIBOR CHF has never exceeded the EURIBOR. Credit risk is not high, since the principal customers of Cimos are highly renowned European and world car manufacturers, who enjoy reputation of paying on time. As for new customers of system suppliers, we first acquire the opinion from a credit rating agency and try to stipulate shorter payment terms. Exposure to payment risks is mitigated by careful planning and matching of cash flows throughout the Cimos group. We keep a watchful eye on the regular reciprocal settlement of receivables and liabilities. Furthermore, by considering a harmonised matching between inflows and outflows we try to achieve a maximum financial flow within the Cimos group. As regards suppliers, we have respected payment terms. With some suppliers we have agreed extension of payment terms (not longer than 120 days; with a sight to a new legislation of payment terms). Interest rate risk is exposed to higher interest rate margins i.e. to bank increases. In the past period most of the short-term credits were transformed into long-term, therefore financing costs have increased, as the interest rate for long-term credits are higher. As regards short-term loans, banks shortened the contracts on three or even one month and the interest rate became nominal and fixed. In 2010 we did not make any new insurance due to an increasing trend of a reference interest rate.

In 2010, the share of net sales revenues in foreign markets was 97 per cent. In comparison with a year earlier, the net sales revenues in foreign markets increased by 12 per cent while the net sales revenues in the Slovenian market decreased for 10.6 per cent. The operating revenues as well as operating expenses increased in 2010: in comparison with 2009 they were of 12 per cent higher and amounted to 345 million euros. A minor increase of operating expenses in comparison with the increase of operating revenues is the consequence of the rationalisation of business processes and lowering of costs at all levels. A breakdown of operating expenses reveals that during the year under review, the costs of goods, material and services accounted for 89 per cent, labour costs accounted for 7 per cent and write-downs for impairment accounted for 4 per cent of all operating expenses. The share of single costs within operating expenses has remained unchanged in comparison with the year before. Operating profit and loss of the public limited company Cimos amounted to 17.1 million euros, that is of 28 per cent higher than in 2009. Net profit or loss amounts to 2.4 million euros, i.e. to 0.7 per cent net sales revenues what is 19 per cent i.e. 7 percentage points more than in 2009. The total assets of Cimos d.d. as at 31 December 2010 amounted to 468 million euros and were by 1.7 per cent higher than the companys total assets a year earlier. The long-term assets increased by 4 per cent whereas the short-term assets decreased by 1 per cent, as in comparison with the previous year. The decrease in short-term assets was primarily the result of a decrease in short-term operating receivables, due from subsidiaries within the group.

The structure of liabilities shows that during the year under review the long-term liabilities accounted for 56 per cent of all liabilities (capital 24 per cent, long-term debts 32 per cent), while the short-term debts accounted for 44 per cent of total liabilities. Structure of liabilities has impaired mostly due to an increase of short-term liabilities and at the same time reduction of long-term liabilities in comparison with a year earlier. The ratio analysis is a statistical yardstick serving to illustrate the 2010 performance of Cimos d.d.: # # # # # # # EBITDA up by 12 per cent from a year earlier and with 28.8 million euros was at the 2008 level when it was a record high; The inventory ratio or inventory turnover ratio (raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods) remained at the 2009 level; As regards the level of the operational performance, the coefficient for the operational efficiency in 2010 increased in comparison with the previous years level and amounted to 1.05; The return on sales ratio (ROS) slightly improved in comparison with a year earlier and notched 0.7 per cent; The return on equity (ROE) has improved and accounted to 2.8 per cent; The return on assets (ROA) amounted to 0.5 per cent and remained at the 2009 level; The net profit increased the companys equity and consequently increased the book value of the shares issued by Cimos. The book value of a share as at 31 December 2010 without treasury shares amounted to 7.82 euros.

Throughout 2010, Cimos d.d. had a positive cash flow from the operating activities. In 2010 the cash flow totalled 39 million euros. The positive cash flow from operations is the reflection of a higher realisation and cost lowering as a consequence of rationalisation of operations. Liquidity condition influenced operating receivables and operating liabilities. Operating receivables have been reduced in 2010, while the operating liabilities have increased. In 2010, almost 50 per cent of net sales revenues before consolidation were generated by Cimos d.d., the same result as in the previous year. Preservation of the share of the Cimos public limited company within the group of unconsolidated net sales revenues shows a uniform change of revenues within the group. The consolidated operating revenue of the Cimos group in 2010 increased by 15 per cent in comparison with 2009. The lions share of the consolidated operating income (72 per cent) were earned by Cimos d.d., while 15 per cent of net sales revenues were generated by the Energy group and the remaining 13 per cent by other subsidiaries (which separately contributed up to two per cent each).

# 19. [Economic landscape and outlook for 2011]


The forecasts for 2011 for the automotive industry remain gloomy. Even though at times car sales seemed to be gaining ground, in the past year, a slow and protracted recovery is expected. Judging by the order book, CIMOS is poised to enjoy higher annual growth in sales revenues than the automotive industry. In comparison with 2010, sales revenues shall be of 7 per cent higher owing to the fact that in the past two years and despite the economic crisis Cimos has allocated resources financial and human to the development projects focused on environmental stewardship and safe mobility.

Cimos Annual Report 2010

067

Business Overview
Cimos will endeavour to play a major role in the automotive industry. Our long-term operating future is based on the following arguments: strong market position, advanced and world-competitive equipment of manufacturing locations, high concentration of know-how, high reputation level and management of processes comparable with the best world practices. The business plan of Cimos d.d. for 2011 is based on the projections of the developments in the EU market in general, in the EU automotive market in particular, and in Slovenia, as well as on the pencilled principal business relations that in the budget also encompass internal cost management and control. Based on the preliminary data of the customers plans for 2011, Cimos drafted a plan of sales for 2010, taking customers requirements into account. The business plan represents a basis for the evaluation of the performance of individual companies within the group in terms of cost containment and cash spending. The business plan is primarily based on the principle that each individual budget unit depends from growth of turnover. Anyhow, production costs shall be lowered by economic consumption of resources and by the reduction of entry prices. Business plan of fixed costs stays on the level of 2010, by taking into account objective changes of single budget units. Variable and fixed costs business plan represent a fame of costs within which a single budget unit can move and at the same time it represents the available cash and cash equivalents available to a single budget unit within a particular time frame in dependence of the turnover. The business plan for 2011 defines costs, which are at the same time the expenses. The planned financial relations in 2011 represent objectives that are going to be realised within the planned period. Objectives are interconnected and depend from the planned sales. Some elements are relatively fixed (amortization, financing costs), while other change with regard to the achieved sale of products and services in the market. Variable costs, amortization and financing costs and net profit shall be covered first and than followed by budget costs per single budget units. In case planned turnover is not reached, budgets shall be reduced to achieve the set targets. The targets set by Cimos d.d. the parent company of the Cimos group are in line with the milestones laid down in its corporate strategy featuring the business activities of Cimos until 2016. The document underlines profitable growth as the benchmark to be kept in mind when planning the strategic activities of all four pillars of the groups business. Based on our knowledge and experience we are determined to meet the set targets for the satisfaction of customers, owners and employees. Operating revenues of Cimos d.d. (in million euros)

Conditions and type of management within the energy branch have varied a lot in the past. However, changes are expected for the future, too. Trends in the filed of water turbines are positive. The developed western part of the world (Europe, N. America) is focused on refurbishment of the existent classic turbines. The second course in the developed world is represented by pumping hydroelectric plants and the third by ecologic turbines for extremely low water falls. However, efforts will be oriented towards the Scandinavian market, Indian market and Turkish market. We are endeavouring to increase our presence in new markets such as: Pakistan, Thailand, Laos and the Pacific part of Asia. Upon the investment crisis in the energy sector in the last two years the N. American market is recovering again. In the year 2011 we will continue to offer equipment for pump stations in Egypt, Bangladesh and spare parts for nuclear pumps in Russia and Ukraine. The operating business plan 2011 of the energy pillar derives from obligations from agreements with business partners and projects that have not been concluded, yet. On the basis of the planned activities the expected operating revenues will be on the level of year 2010. Machine building and tooling pillar strongly depends on the events in industrial branches. The economic crisis and reduction of business volume in industrial branches have caused calmness in the field of machines and tool industry. However, economy is recovering slowly and new investments have been commenced, and demand for new industrial equipment is growing. Machines and tools pillar is based on a vertical integration strategy and concentric diversification of the Cimos group. It reflects in the extension to new areas that would bring synergetic effects. Machines and tools pillar is divided into two production programmes; tool industry and machine manufacture. The objectives of the machine building and tooling pillar for the year 2011 are focused in sales increase of 11 per cent, in comparison with the year 2010. Sales activities will be

Business Overview
increased within the Cimos group and external customers. The pillar will respect delivery terms, develop new products and increase productivity. The agricultural equipment market is dominated by strong competition. A competitive advantage is given by the equipment offering major safety, efficiency, comfort and wider serviceability. The agricultural pillar strategy is based on internal production of the hobby programme and big agricultural equipment, on the engineering filed and production of parts for other agricultural equipment manufacturers. The agricultural equipment objectives for the year 2011 are to increase sales volumes for 30 per cent in comparison with the year 2010, to break through into new markets, sales of new products (tractor) and optimization of purchasing costs and entry prices.

# 20. [Corporate social responsibility]


Throughout the Cimos Group we foster a strong sense of corporate social responsibility by continuing to operate at profit, by banking on our development and business advantages and by continuously working on getting recognition and building corporate visibility, which in turn leads to raising the level of trust in people who work with us or for us and who live in the vicinity of our manufacturing facilities. By working hand-inhand with customers, suppliers, local community, numerous stakeholders and, last but not least, with our people in all areas on which our business has an economic, social or environmental impact, we take actions above compliance with minimum legal and statutory requirements and address our own competitive interests and the interests of wider community as we pursue the strategy of accomplishing our objectives for sustainable development.

# 20.1 Responsibility to people


Efficient, successful, committed and satisfied employees represent the key factors of an effective company. Therefore, a correct and effective management of human resources covers an important role that it is understood as follows: # # # # # # # motivation and orientation of employees towards education and acquisition of adequate education and qualification level, professional introduction of the new-employed, continuous training and education for transfer of knowledge at all levels, professional career planning, providing of the key expert staff and initiation for take-up of functions, stimulation of the employees creativeness, development of the degree of loyalty and identification of people with the company.

A mechanism of personal and professional development of employees under the name Cimos KART (KAdrovske RAzvojne Tehnike translated in human resources development techniques) was formed. The mechanism will assist the employees in achieving the satisfaction. The name of this mechanism is emphasizing the inestimable value our employees represent for the company. Employees are compared with diamonds, acquiring value by being grinded. The objective of the mechanism is to plan the professional career of individuals in accordance with his/her vision and the needs/objectives of the company. Professional career planning is a continuous process having many interacting factors. It is therefore subject to constant research and evaluation of the general synergy.

Education and training of the Cimos people


Despite the intent to optimise costs in all areas because of the economic crisis, education process has not been discontinued in the 2010. Development of the people represents the investment for the future, therefore it shall be subject to special attention. In 2010, the employees working in Cimos d.d. received training in various aspects of production with focus on the ability to work independently without direct supervision. Beside practical trainings the employees have acquired new knowledge within the working field and production technologies. We have identified the key knowledge holders per each production technology, who will collaborate in the internal transfer of know-how between the (global) production facilities. Beside expert trainings, the majority of employees in production attended animation workshops focused on technological disciplines and quality assuring methods within the production process. Along with expert development major stress is put on individual development, therefore we are stimulating different forms of formal studies. Main emphasis is put on the importance of languages-learning. In the past period many language courses (English, French, German and Russian) were performed. Furthermore, we are maintaining and complementing the quality management system, where internal auditors play a major role, and shall therefore constantly develop the know-how and be acquainted with novelties.

Business Overview
Satisfaction of customers represents an important task. With the purpose of effective communication with customers we have identified, at the level of the Cimos group, the customers representatives and have trained them for specific customers requirements (surveillance of the customers needs and complaints, quality indices, project management at customers, process confirmation, audits and management of complaints). Optimisation of processes and augmentation of competitiveness in the market is forcing us to stimulate the process of constant improvements. The Lean Production method was introduced in the process, from incoming material warehouse to manufacturing steps, to shipment of goods to customers. The approach makes possible a systematic error-solving approach, for errors that do not bring benefit to the value of product and do not contain the value stream within the process, and have a negative impact on production costs. Many expert training courses of the Lean Production (and other work methods such as: 5S, identification of waste, improvement process, visual management) were performed. In terms of HR management we have performed trainings where the participants have learnt about management skills, different management approaches etc. Particular focus has was laid on annual interviews with employees, delegation of authority, definition of targets. We have explained the meaning and the methods of people motivation and the role of coaches. Employees attended workshops for development of successful communication, Communication code and management, furthermore, they were introduced with the importance of the dignity at work and with the statement of the management about dignity protection policy in Cimos. Continuous improvements and improvement of human resources depend on the competence of employees and are the key for the preservation of competitiveness in the market. Under this purpose we are following the novelties within the production technologies field. Within the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) project, further trainings focused on document management within the IT system (SAP in SmarTeam) were carried on. We are conscious of the importance of the employees competence all over the Cimos group, therefore we are trying to train all the responsible of a single processes from other Cimos subsidiaries. Changed economic and business conditions are giving a new impetus to the organisation for the performance of internal educational and training courses. With the purpose of developing the human capital, constant preservation and spreading of the know-how, the new Regulations of internal education and training providers was introduced. The advantage of internal transfer of knowledge is founded on the efficiency (cost and transfer of know-how), as the expert and theoretical know-how can be better adapted to the employees needs. The Cimos HR development is not only focused on the employees, but also on future job-seekers. This strategy is based on the desire to offer job opportunities to the best job-seekers. It can be achieved before individuals become active job-seekers. Professional career starts with the selection of the education branch. Therefore, we are taking active part in the planning and acquisition of staff with intense collaboration actions with different age-groups and/or generations by drawing their attention on technical professions.

Human resources development


HR development is a systematic and planned process oriented in the preparation, performance and monitoring of the HR-educational procedures and actions, which purpose is to benefit the expert, work and personal development of employees. HR development instruments are interconnected systems of adoption, distribution, promotion and education of human resources. Continuous changes (new customers, suppliers, products, IT support) require constant mobility of the people, which the people understand as a component part of their occupational development. The HR management plan is prepared on the basis of annual interviews between management and people, i.e. subordinates. Annual interviews represent an overview of the past, present and future plans. Once the findings made during the interviews are analysed, a plan is made for training and staff shifts on the horizontal or vertical workplace grid.

Occupational health and safety issues
Preventive and systematic operations in terms of occupational health and safety issues have been completed by the acquisition of the certification of our OH&S management system in conformity with the OHSAS 18 001 standard. This approach has been gradually spread to all the facilities within the Cimos Group. Positive transfer of experiences was already confirmed in Cimos facilities in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Further activities for the implementation of the system in facilities Novi Travnik (a certification audit is planned in the 2011) and Srebrenica are in course.

# 20.2 Stewardship of the natural surroundings


At Cimos, we place the global orientation and responsibility for the natural environment at the top of strategic objectives. Therefore, we actively pursue the requirements of the standard for Environmental Management System. Cimos has in place an internal process for the evaluation of the environmental impacts based on the ISO 14 001 standard (Cimos d.d. has acquired the certificate in the 2001). The environment impact evaluation process encompasses all the facilities. The Environmental Management System certificate conferred by the Slovenian Institute of Quality and Metrology (in 2009 it was acquired by the subsidiary in Kikinda, Serbia) is confirming that corporate social responsibility is being spread with success and that we are well aware of the importance of the reduction of impact on the environment. As regards the subsidiaries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the procedures for the award of the certificate are in course. The facilities in Gradaac and in Zenica have already acquired the certification. Until the end of 2011 the certification is expected to be implemented within the facility in Novi Travnik, too. As regards waste treatment, Cimos subscribes to the following approaches: # # # # In research activities and development of new products we focus on the quantity of solid waste. In the product material selection process we give precedence to recycling materials. Separation of waste is adapted to waste recycling possibilities. Returnable packaging is replaced with a single-use (non returnable) packaging.

The discharge of industrial waste waters has been regulated through the treatment plants, which are under control, or samples of waste waters (in case of washing waters and waste emulsions) are taken and sent to the authorised organisations for control. As regards outlets in the air, we have implemented filtering and cleaning devices with regard to different technologies aimed at the prevention of excessive outlet in the air. The perfection of treatment plants is confirmed by the IPPC environmental permits acquired by our foundries. As regards the energy, we have identified possibilities for the preservation of the natural resources in more efficient energy consumption. This represents a starting point for the introduction of a systematic approach to efficient energy consumption based on the SIST EN 16 001 standard. Strong and transparent relationships with communities, Cimos subsidiaries and the numerous employees are active partners in the sports, culture, health care, education and humanitarian activities that is proved by many recognitions given by representatives of the local communities.

Educational system
Integration of pupils and students into the Cimos environment has become a part of our every-day life. Cooperation with schools is performed through school counselling services, information days and excursions, where we are trying to expose the importance of technical professions that represent the key for our operation. Furthermore, we present the possibility of in-company placement, students work and other activities in the technical field. Excursions focused on laboratory exercises offer the students the opportunity of getting informed about our technologies and products. We are trying to draw attention of the students by offering scholarships. We are involved in the cofinancing programme of the young researchers, carried out by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. Three candidates for young researchers, who will be involved in research activities in the selected areas, have been selected within the call for applications.

Sports
In the sports field Cimos is a club partner and the major sponsor of the Cimos Handball Club. During the years, Cimos has contributed to the achievement of a real, stageoutlined and development-oriented strategy of the club, bringing into effect the vision of the club in a ten years period. Our mission is to promote sport, motivation, selection and education of home players from juniors to seniors, upon which relies the longterm existence of the club and spectators' interest and socialization of the employees. Although the orientation is of a long-term, short-term results are surprising. We have a top-level junior school that is one of the best in Slovenia and the first team on the top of the handball scale. The club is becoming one of the most stable sport collectives in the country. Six age categories appear in the national championship and are ranged among the first four, giving the young a new hope for the future. Though not all of them are going to succeed in the sport or become top-handball players, we are endeavouring for the development of their work habits, perseverance, healthy life-style, socialisation and awareness that only clear objectives and efforts can bring results. By giving them hope we are contributing to their personal development. In other fields, where Cimos is acting, it is recognized as a promoter and supporter of the youth in sports.

Other
In cooperation with the local communities Cimos is a cornerstone of humanitarian activities. In fact, we are taking active part in different humanitarian actions, from blood donor campaigns and ecology-humanitarian actions to the promotion/organisation of different donation events. On the European and global scale, Cimos advocates a complex and modern approach to marketing and it is thanks to this pro-active stance that the company has been successful in promoting Slovenia as an efficient economic entity of the European and international stature. It is by subscribing to quality and by fostering a responsible stance both to its people and the users of its products and services that Cimos has been spreading the concept of potentials offered by the economy with a humane face.

Financial Statement

FINANCIAL STATEMENT # 21. [Notes to significant accounting policies]


# 21.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements
Financial statements of the company and the notes to the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Slovenian Accounting Standards (2006) and the Companies Act (ZGD-1). The assumptions underlying these financial statements are the fundamental accounting assumptions and namely the accrual basis of accounting and going concern. The financial statements are denominated in euros. They have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value. The management has made certain judgements, estimates and considerations with regard to the financial statements, which affect the application of policies on the reported value of assets and liabilities, revenue and expense. The estimates and considerations are based on past experience and other factors which appear relevant in the given circumstances and on the basis of which we may give a judgement with regard to the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The estimates and considerations have to be constantly checked. Adjustments to accounting estimates are recognised only for the period in which the estimate is corrected, if it affects only that period, and it may be recognised for the adjustment period and for the next year, if the adjustment affects both the current and the next year. The company has changed the accounting policy and in the year 2010 it formed provisions for jubilee and retirement bonuses.

Exchange rate and translation to local currency


Items in financial statements, stated in foreign currencies and indicated in the balance sheet and in the income statement, have been converted in euros according to the ECB reference rate as on 30 September 2010. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising on translation are recognised in the income statement under financial revenue and/or expenses.

Reporting by business segment and geographical segment


In accordance with the strategic operating policy and based on the criteria for formation of business segments (they are formed on the basis of common product characteristics, marketing and advertising methods and risk and profit level) the company has decided not to review separately business segments. Geographical segments (formed on the basis of the assets location) comprising geographically connected countries, which share a similar level of economic development, purchasing power, similar economic and political features are not considered separately by the company.

Intangible fixed assets


Internally developed brands, publishing titles, customer list and items similar in substance have not been recognised as intangible assets, except in case of transactions (acquisition of a company). Investment in goodwill is the amount by which the costs of purchase of an acquired company or a part of a company exceed the fair value of the net identifiable asset acquired adjusted by its liabilities (debt). The costs of research incurred by the company with the aim to acquire new scientific and expert knowledge and understanding are not are recognised as an intangible

asset; instead, they are treated as expenses when they are incurred. The costs of development incurred by the company are recognised as an intangible fixed asset where, where research results are used for planning and designing production of new or significantly improved products and procedures, recognised if the company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the project so that it will be available for use and sale its intention to complete the project and use or sell it and generate probable future economic benefits from the project, if the company has at disposal adequate sources to complete development and if it has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible fixed asset during its development reliably. The recognised comprises cost of an internally generated intangible fixed asset comprises the cost incurred by its manufacture, and the indirect cost attributable to its manufacture and recognised by the market. The cost of an internally generated intangible fixed asset may include the interest cost incurred on loans for its manufacture. The residual value of use can be recognised in the income statement under expenses, when they are incurred. Useful life is equal to the period of expected future sales, connected with the project. An item of intangible assets is initially measured at cost. After recognition of an intangible asset, the company uses the cost model for the measurement and carries an intangible asset at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are classified as intangible assets with final useful live and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The carrying amount carrying amount of an intangible asset with final useful life is decreased through amortisation and impairments when causes for this exist. Appreciation of intangible assets can be accounted when the asset is available for use. The amortisation period and the amortisation method shall be reviewed at least at each financial year-end. If there has been a significant change in the asset, such changes shall be treated as changes in the accounting estimates. Amortisation shall be stated according to the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are: # # # patents: 5 years; licences: 5 to 10 years; costs of development: 10 years.

Property, plant and equipment


An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset shall on initial recognition be measured at its cost. It comprises the purchase price, non-refundable purchase taxes, and directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the condition necessary for the intended use, especially the cost of its delivery and installation and estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site. Subsequent measurement of tangible assets, the company applies the cost model. Under the cost model, items of property, plant and equipment are carried at their cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. If the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is significant, the company allocates it to its individual parts and where these parts have different useful lives each part is depreciated separately. The method used by the company to allocate the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life is the straight-line method. Accumulated depreciation is not recognised for land. Depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment begins when it is made available for use. The adequacy of the depreciation period and method used shall be reviewed at least at the end of each financial year. Possible adjustments are treated as a change in accounting estimate. The estimated useful lives for the most important classes of property, plant and equipment are shown below:

# # # # buildings: 20 to 77 years, production machinery and equipment: 4 to 15 years, means of transport: 6 to 8 years, computer equipment and other equipment: 2 to 20 years.

A lease that transfers to the company all significant risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset is finance lease. Items of property, plant and equipment leased under a finance lease are stated separately from other items of property, plant and equipment of the same class. The estimated amounts of substantial expenditure for repairs of property, plant and equipment are measured as part of property, plant and equipment and are depreciated by depreciation percentage that guarantees that the estimated amount will be compensated until the time when costs for major repairs are actually incurred. Subsequent expenditure on an item of property, plant and equipment that increases its future economic in excess of the originally assessed, increase its cost. Subsequent expenditure enabling the extension of useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment reduces the accumulated depreciation. All other costs are recognised in profit and loss as expenditures as they are incurred.

Investment property
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation of for both. An investment property is measured initially at its cost including transaction costs and any directly attributable expenditure. The company measures investment properties using the cost model, and namely they are measured at costless any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation and impairment of investment properties are recognised as financial expenses related to investment properties. Impairment of assets, except financial investments: On each reporting day the company evaluates whether there is a sign of an impaired asset. If so, the company shall evaluate the recoverable amount of such asset. A recoverable amount is the fair value, less selling cost or value upon usage, depending on which of the two is higher. Evaluation of value upon usage comprises evaluation of receipts and expenses that will result from further employment of the asset and its final disposal, and use of adequate discount rate of present and future cash flows. Value upon usage can be established for a money creating unit, i.e. for the least defined assets group, which constant employment represents a source of cash receipts, manly independent from cash receipts from other assets or group of assets. Only in case when recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount carrying amount, carrying amount the carrying amount shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. Such reduction represents a loss from impairment. Loss from impairment of an asset, measured according to the model of purchase value, is recognised in the income statement. Loss from impairment of an asset, measured according to revaluation model, charges directly each surplus from valuation adjustment, before the difference is recognised in the income statement. Impairment loss in respect of an asset incurred in previous periods shall be reversed only in case of estimation change, used to establish recoverable amounts of an asset, after the last loss from impairment was recognised. In such cases the carrying amount of asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount. Such increase is a reversal of loss from impairment. In case of reversal of impairment loss the increased carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount established upon subtraction of accumulative depreciation, if in the past years loss from impairment was not recognised Reversal of impairment loss measured according to the model of purchase value is recognised in the income statement. The reversal of impairment loss measured according to the revaluation model shall be recognised to surplus from revaluation. If impairment loss f the same adjusted asset has been recognised in the income statement, the reversal of impairment loss shall also be recognised in the income statement.

Financial Statement
Financial investments
In accordance with Slovenian Accounting Standards 2006, the company classifies its long- and short-term financial investments in four categories: financial assts at fair value through profit or loss, financial investments held to maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets. At the end of a financial year, if it is permitted and appropriate, the Company reclassifies individual long-term and shortterm financial investments to another category of investments. On initial recognition the company measures an investment recognised as financial asset at its fair value. If a financial asset is carried at amortised cost and financial assets measured at fair value increased by revaluation and investments measured at cost, transaction costs are added to fair value. Measurement of financial investment depends on the classification of a financial investment. Financial investments classified in the 1st and 4th category are measured at fair value. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold in a transaction between willing parties (quoted market price for share, net asset value of mutual funds, quoted market price for bonds, etc.). A change in fair value of financial investments is recognised in the income statement as financial income or expense. A changes in fair value of a financial asset available for sale is recognised as revaluation0 surplus. Financial income arising from elimination of revaluation surplus of the financial asset is recognised when the financial assetis sold, i.e. derecognised. Financial investments classified as financial assets held to maturity are measured at amortised cost. The amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of discount or premium using the effective interest method and minus any reduction for impairment. Investments in non-listed securities, among which investments in subsidiaries, are classified under financial investment available for sale and are measured at cost. The company derecognises an investment as financial asset when it has no longer control of the contracting rights that comprise that asset, i.e. on the cash flows arising from it. On each balance-sheet date the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that an investment is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the investment has to be revalued accordingly. Impairment losses resulting from the revaluation that could not be covered by a revaluation surplus shall be recognised as financial expense in the income statement. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on held-to-maturity financial investments f and on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if the additional increase in recoverable amount can be connected with the event that occurred after the initial recognition of impairment. The impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss statement. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows (other than future loan losses, that have not been inccurred yet) discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset). Impairment losses recognised for an investment in a financial instrument classified as available for sale, measured according at cost cannot reversed. The amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of financial asset and the present value of the expected cash flow discounted at the present market interest rate paid on similar financial assets. Impairment losses recognised for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available for sale cannot be reversed through profit or loss. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurred after of the impairment loss was recognised in the profit or loss , the impairment loss shall be reversed and the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss as financial revenue. The amount of a decline in

Cimos Annual Report 2010

081

Financial Statement
the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments


The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates, such as futures and interest rate swaps. At initial recognition and later on, such instruments are measured at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are recognised as financial instrument when the fair value is positive, and are recognised as financial liability when the fair value in negative. Each gain or loss from change in fair value of a derivative financial instrument, which is not a part of the hedging ratio, is recognised in the income statement. Hedging rates are classified in three groups: # Hedging of fair value: hedging from change of fair value of the derivative asset, liability or bound undertakings. Profit or loss in hedged item, which can be recognised to hedged risk, adapts carrying amount of the hedged item in the income statement. In case of a new measurement of a derivative financial instrument (to hedge from risk) the profit and loss is recognised in the income statement; Hedging of cash flows: hedging from variability of cash flows that can be attributed to a single risk, connected with a recognised asset or liability or possible planned transactions. A part of profit and loss from derived hedging, defined as successful hedging from risks, is recognised directly in equity as a surplus from value adjustment. Inefficient part of profit or loss is recognised in the income statement; Hedging of financial investment in the company abroad: accounted as hedging of cash flows.

Assets held for sale


If the carrying amount of an asset is going to be assured with sale, and not with further employment, such asset shall be defined as non-short-term asset for sale or shall be accounted in the disposal for sales group. The asset stops to be depreciated, when it is defined as non-short-term asset for sale or accounted in the group for the disposal for sale. Such non-short-term asset or group for disposal for sale is measured according to its carrying amount or its fair value, less sale cost (according to the value that is lower). Principles for disposal of assets (disposal of groups) for sale are the same as the one applying for long-term assets, with exception of financial investment.

Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of initial cost or at net realisable value. The inventories of work-in-progress and finished goods are measured at production costs including direct cost of material, labour, services, depreciation and indirect costs. Extraordinary costs of direct materials and direct labour, as well as extraordinary indirect costs, must not be included in the cost of an item of inventories. of the allocation of fixed production overheads is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities, i.e property, plant and equipment and employees. An item of inventories of materials and merchandise is measured at cost of purchase comprising the purchase price, import duties and other non-refundable purchase taxes and direct costs of purchase. Non-refundable purchase taxes also comprise the non-refundable value added tax. The purchase price is reduced by trade discounts/ rebates received. To recognise declining quantities of inventories - materials and merchandise, the company uses the weighted average price method. To recognise declining quantities of inventories - finished goods and semi-finished products, the company uses the fixed (standard) price method with variances. The company immediately recognises the cost of small tools put in use as an expense.

082

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Financial Statement
Inventories are not revalued due to their increase in value. If the carrying amount of inventories exceeds their net realisable value, it shall be written down to the net realisable value. Inventories shall be written down item by item.

Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at amounts recorded in the relevant accounting documents under the assumption that they will be collected. They are measured according to amortised value by applying the method of effective interests. Receivables believed not to be settled by their due date or in their full amount, should be disclosed as doubtful receivables. If court proceedings have been initiated they are treated as disputable, therefore value adjustment of receivables includes value adjustment of doubtful and disputable receivables due fromdue from customers and an additional value adjustment to customers, formed with regard to maturity structure of receivables. The criterias to form value adjustments of receivables due from customers are established on the basis of individual judgement and/or on the basis of estimated price realization for a single receivable. Value adjustment of receivables comprises receivables due from group companies.

Cash and cash equivalents


Cash comprises cash in bank (deposit money), cash on hand and debt securities with immediate liquidity. Negative balance i.e. bank overdrafts are defined as loans payable.

Equity capital
The total capital consists of called-up capital, capital reserves, revenue reserves, net profit from previous periods brought forward, equity revaluation adjustments, and the undistributed net profit for the financial year. Share capital is stated in local currency. Acquired treasury shares or business stakes are deducted from capital. In case of purchase, sale, issue or withdrawal, profit or loss of business is not recognized in net profit for the financial year, i.e. all differences are accounted with capital.

Provisions and long-term accrued costs and deferred revenue


The company disclosed provisions in the balance sheet, if legal obligation or constructive obligation exists and if there is possibility that outflows giving opportunity for economic benefits will be necessary to settle such obligation. Where effect of time cash value is essential, the provisions sum is defined by discounting the expected future cash flows according to interest rate before tax. This one defines existent evaluations of time cash value and if necessary of risks, typical for such obligation. The effect from discounting is accounted as financial expenditure, i.e. income. Provisions for retirement benefits and anniversary bonuses are defined at the Groups level when on a balance sheet date it is established, and in the income statement is recognised the income or outcome related to the conversion of provisions within the established sum that it is going to be offset: # # # # # the sum of additionally formed provisions for costs of current service in connection with retirement benefits and anniversary bonuses for the current year, accrued interests for provisions, sum of actuarian gain or loss, sum of the increase or reduction of already formed provisions in case of introduction or modification of a programme (change of costs of the past service years) and effects of all limitations or restrictions of provisions.

In the composition of the balance sheet the company evaluates once again nonrecognised liabilities for deferred tax. They are then recognised if it is probable that future taxable profits will enable employment of liabilities for deferred taxes. The

Cimos Annual Report 2010

083

Financial Statement
Company reduces the accounting value of liabilities for deferred taxes, if it is no longer probable, that there will be enough available taxable profit. Each reduction is solved, if it is probable, that there will be enough available taxable profits. Income taxes are identified in the profit and loss statement, except in the part referring directly to items stated in capital and shall therefore be accounted among the capital. Insignificant amounts of accounts receivables and liabilities for deferred taxes are not recognised.

Liabilities
Liabilities are of the following types: financial and operating, and short-term and long-term. In the initial recognition all liabilities are evaluated with amounts from corresponding documents showing their origin and proving receipt of cash and payoffs of business debt. Long-term liabilities are subsequently increased through ascribed returns (interests, other compensations), which have been agreed with a creditor. Accounted value of long-term debts is equal to their history value, less pay-offs of the main value and transfers between short-term liabilities, till necessity for revaluation of long-term liabilities occurs. Liabilities are measured according to pay-off value, according to the method of effective interests. If important sums of liabilities are not remunerated, are identified after discounted value, by considering the average interest rate achieved by the Company for similar operations. If the actual, i.e. agreed interest rate does not differentiate from the effective interest rate, liabilities are identified after the initial recognized value less the pay-offs. Carrying amount of short-term liabilities is equal to its history value, adjusted for their increases or decreases in accordance with agreements with creditors, till revaluation necessity occurs. Short-term and long-term liabilities of all kinds are showed in the beginning with amounts deriving from adequate documents, by the assumption, that creditors demand a pay-off. Liabilities are later-on increased with imputed return (interests and other recoveries), which have been agreed with creditors. Liabilities decrease for paidoff amounts and other settlements agreed with a creditor.

Short-term accrued and deferred items


Active short-term accrued and deferred items comprehend short-term deferred cost and short-term non-calculated receipts. Passive accrued cost comprises in advance calculated costs and expenses and short-term deferred income.

Revenues
Revenues are recognised when the inflow of economic benefits during the accounting period is related to increase in assets or decrease in liabilities, and when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Through operating profit and loss they affect the capital volume. Revenues are divided in operating revenues, financial revenue and other revenues. Revenues from sales of products are accounted in the operating profit and loss, when the Company transfers to the customer important risks and benefits, connected with products ownership. Revenues from the sales of products, resale goods and materials, are measured on the basis of the selling prices stated in invoices or other documents, decreased by discounts, approved at the moment of sale or later, or for an early payment. Revenues from performed services are measured on the basis of the performed business on the date of the balance sheet. The level of completeness is evaluated with a review of the accomplished work. Revenues are not recognised in case of doubt regarding repayment of reimbursement and other connected costs or possibility of products return, or regarding further decisions about sold products. Revenues from rentals of investment property are recognised evenly among revenues during the renting period.

084

Cimos Annual Report 2010

Financial Statement
Public assistances are recognised in the beginning in financial statements as deferred income, when there is an acceptable assurance that the company is going to receive such assistance and that it will fulfil all connected obligations. State aid, received to cover costs are recognised strictly as income within periods when costs (that shall be substituted by assistance) occur. State aid connected with assets are recognised in the profit and loss statement very strictly among other operating revenues during the life-time of such asset. Revenues from interests are recognised after they occur with the method of effective interest rate. Revenues from dividends are recognised in the income statement on the day, when the shareholders pay-off right is exercised. Under financial revenues are accounted positive exchange rate differences, profit from hedging instruments and other revenues deriving from financial investments. Other revenues are composed of unusual items showed with actually occurred amounts.

Expenses
Expenses are defined as operating, financial and other expenses.

Income taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for , using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is recognised for all temporary differences, except for: # # # # goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associated companies to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. deferred tax asset is recognised for all temporary differences, non utilised tax credit notes and tax losses in the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, except in cases: # if difference derive from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities of an event, which at the time of its origin do not influence the accounting gains nor the taxable profits, except in case of liabilities from business combination, segmentation, change of the share in capital or transfer of activity, # if differences derive from financial investments in subsidiaries, affiliated undertakings and associated companies and from shares into joint exploitations and no probability exists that temporary differences will be solved in foreseeable future.

recognised liabilities for deferred tax. They are then recognised if it is probable that future taxable profits will enable employment of liabilities for deferred taxes. The Company reduces the accounting value of liabilities for deferred taxes, if it is no longer probable, that there will be enough available taxable profit. Each reduction is solved, if it is probable, that there will be enough available taxable profits. Income taxes are identified in the income statement, except in the part referring directly to items stated in capital and shall therefore be accounted among the capital. Insignificant amounts of accounts receivables and liabilities for deferred taxes are not recognised.

Cash flow statement


Cash flow statement has been prepared on the basis of the items in the income statement for the business year 2010, items in the balance sheet as of 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010 and other significant items.

Financial statements of the Cimos group


The consolidated financial statements and notes in the present annual report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and in accordance with the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted for use in the EU and in consideration of the provisions set out in the Companies Act (ZGD-1). Two basic accounting assumptions have been considered, i.e.: appearance of events and going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been drawn up in EURs. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the consideration of historical costs, while fair value was considered within finance instruments in possession for trade purposes and for sale of available financial resources, listed on stock exchange or that are, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), measured according to the appraisal model. For the preparation of financial statements the Management Board gives judgements, estimations and assumptions, which influence on the application of directives, on the value of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are based on precedent experiences and other factors, which in a given circumstance are considered as founded and on which basis we can make judgements of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions shall be constantly under review. Amendments of accounting evaluations are acknowledge only for the period, for which the evaluation has been amended, and if it affects only this period. Amendments can be recognised for the amendment period and for future years, if the amendment affects current year as well as future years.

# 21.2 Effects of amendments to reporting standards


Amendments to Slovenian Accounting Standards 2006, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, nr. 1/2010, are applicable since 01. 01. 2010, and harmonized with the International Accounting Standards (IAS). The major change within the Slovenian Accounting Standards is represented by changes of the income statement with the extension introduction of a statement of a second comprehensive income. In accordance with amendments of the Slovenian Accounting Standards SRS 19 the total comprehensive income is the amendment of capital within a period, except amendments of capital that are the outcome of trading businesses with owners, comprehending: # # # net profit or loss for the period; amendments of the surplus from revaluation of intangible assets and tangible fixed assets; amendments of the surplus from revaluation of financial resources, available for sale;

Financial Statement
# # profit or loss from translation of the foreign companies accounts (translation of currency differences); other components of the comprehensive income.

Classification of investments in tangible fixed assets owned by other investors represents another amendment; it would now appear as tangible asset and not as an intangible assets. All changes are attempting to improve the usefulness of financial statements in terms of analysis and comparability of information presented in financial statements. A common feature of changes is they do not affect the evaluation of economic categories; they only affect their disclosures in financial reporting, so changes do not affect taxable profit.

# 21.3 Consolidation principles


Consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of a group presented as those of a single economic entity. It is a representation of how the holding company is doing as a group. The consolidated accounts should provide a true and fair view of the financial and operating conditions of the group. Doing so typically requires a complex set of eliminating and consolidating entries to work back from individual financial statements to a group financial statement that is an accurate representation of operations. Consolidation of capital consists of the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and of the proportional part of capital of these subsidiaries, appertaining to the Cimos Group. The share of minority shareholders in the subsidiaries company's stock shall be disclosed separately within the frame of the capital's item. All reciprocal receivables and payables that refer to the Cimos Group subsidiaries shall be eliminated in the balance sheet consolidation procedure. The main source of differences between receivables and payables are exchange rate differences, deriving from different inter-currency ratios between the Cimos Group subsidiaries and time mismatch of the events' recording. Income and expense figure between the Cimos Group subsidiaries were eliminated from the group income statement, in the extent disclosed by individual subsidiary. Eliminating inter group revenues and expenses do not influence the consolidated profit. The minority shareholders profit is indicated separately. The basis of preparation of the Group's financial statements, including basic assumptions, exchange rates and the method of currency translation into home currency are described in the chapter Summary of important Accounting Policies. For the evaluation of items from financial statements of all the Cimos Group subsidiaries, unified Accounting policies were adopted. For the purpose of consolidation the financial statements drawn up by the subsidiary undertakings, original documentation kept in the parent company and subsidiary undertakings and direct reconciliation of balances and transactions between the companies in the Group have been used. A step by step consolidation process has been used. Since the Group is composed also of the companies incorporated in foreign countries and these entities draw up their financial statements in the respective local currency, only such financial statements have been converted into the presentation currency used by the parent company the EUR. For the purpose of currency translation, the effective exchange rate of the Bank of Slovenia has been applied, and namely the relevant exchange rate of the Bank of Slovenia as at 31 December 2010 for the translation of assets and liabilities and the relevant average exchange rates for 2010 for the translation of revenue, expenditure and cost items, in the event that currency translation as at the date of occurrence of the business event was not possible. The consolidated financial statements prepared by the Cimos Group as at 31 December 2010 include the financial statements of Cimos d.d. and the financial statements of its subsidiaries in which the parent undertaking has the dominant influence. The subsidiary Cimos BRD, Gmbh, Muenchen has not been consolidated due to insignificance of review.

The increase in short-term lending to the companies in the group in comparison with 2009 is attributable to the fact that the portion of long-term loans with maturity in 2011 were transferred under short-term investments, and new loans granted in 2010. The bigger portion of the receivables arising from the loans refer to the loans to the subsidiaries: CIMOS TAM A.i., CIMOS Titan, Livarna Vuzenica, Litostroj Power, P.P.C. Buzet and CIMOS BRD. The interest rate charged on the loans given to the subsidiaries in the home country are the rates recognised as deductible for tax purpose. The short-term loans given to others have decreased after drawing down the funds held as a deposit on the bank account.

Short-term trade receivables in the foreign market are denominated in EUR and in USD. In the automotive industry, business is done by placing orders for the year and no contracts are concluded for a specific period. Given the nature of the business, it is not common to insure trade receivables. In comparison with 2009, receivables due from the group companies decreased and claims on foreign countries for the refund of value added tax increased. In accordance with the companys accounting policy, the criteria for value adjustments of trade receivables are defined on a case-by-case basis by taking into account whether the debt in question can be collected or not. The value of the receivables pledged for the loans received is 12 million euros.

The major part of deferred costs and accrued revenue is formed of short-term deferred costs. One part is the outcome of the increase in short-term deferred expenses resulting from exchange rate differences of the Kikinda group. The other part is formed from the consolidation of the established time difference between the recording of receivables and payables in operating activities between the group companies. In forming accounting reports for 2010 the subsidiaries from the Republic of Serbia considered the following regulations: Regulations of modifications and completions of the Rule book of the accounts framework and of the accounts plan for legal entities. Amendments enable accrual of the net effect of exchange rate differences to longterm liabilities to foreign parts and net effects of the contractual value swap and longterm receivables and payables in the state as at 31 December 2010. Cancellation of accruals for financial assets and liabilities and carry-over into financial revenue shall be performed on the payment day. The Serbian currency has registered, since the beginning of 2011, growth of 3.5 per cent in comparison with the Euro. Because of the
