London Stock Exchange of matters required to be disclosed under the JSE
Listings Requirements and/or the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules
and/or the Listing Rules of the United Kingdom Listing Authority.
Mondi Group makes an offer to acquire the minority interest in
Mondi Swiecie S.A.
Mondi Group has made an all cash public tender offer of PLN69.00
(EUR16.48) per share ("Offer") for 17 million shares representing 34% of the
share capital of Mondi Swiecie S.A. ("Mondi Swiecie") that it does not
already own. Mondi Swiecie is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The Offer
represents a premium of 15.6% over the last three months average price of
PLN59.71 (EUR14.26) and a premium of 4.1% over the last six months average
price of PLN66.26 (EUR15.82).
Mondi Swiecie is a leading integrated manufacturer of virgin and
recycled container board in Central Eastern Europe (CEE). In 2011 it produced
1,333 thousand tonnes of containerboard at its operations in Swiecie, Poland.
Mondi Swiecie presently employs approximately 1,020 people under its Managing
Director Maciej Kunda. This acquisition would bring into full ownership an
asset of the Mondi Group, further streamlining its corporate structure.
Mondi Swiecie today announced its results for the year ended 31
December 2011. The company generated EBITDA of PLN610m (EUR148m), operating
profit of PLN457m (EUR111m) and net earnings of PLN396m (EUR96m). As of 31
December 2011 it had net cash of PLN70m (EUR16m), gross assets of PLN2,729m
(EUR612m) and shareholders' equity of PLN1,830m (EUR410m). A translation of
the company's announced Consolidated Financial Statements and Report on
Business Activities for the year ended 31 December 2011 is set out below.
Under the Offer, the implied equity value of the whole of Mondi Swiecie is
PLN3.5bn (EUR824m) and represents an EV/EBITDA multiple of approximately 5.5x
and a P/E multiple of approximately 8.7x for 2011.
The Offer is expected to be concluded in mid April 2012. Full
acceptance of the Offer would result in an aggregate cash consideration
payable by the Mondi Group on closing of PLN1.2bn (EUR280m). The Offer is
conditional on Mondi Group achieving minimum acceptances of 14% of Mondi
Swiecie shares (to bring the Mondi Group's total interest in the company to
not less than 80%). After completion of the Offer, Mondi intends to delist
Mondi Swiecie from the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The Offer will be funded by
Mondi Group's existing cash resources and from existing committed bank
facilities available to it.

1. BACKGROUND
As of the balance sheet date Mondi Swiecie Group is composed of:
parent company - Mondi Swiecie S.A., and
subsidiary - Swiecie Recykling Sp. z o.o.,
associated company - Polski System Recyklingu - Organizacja Odzysku S.A.
The consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2011 cover the
following companies:
parent company - Mondi Swiecie S.A.,
company valued with the full method - Swiecie Recykling Sp. z o.o.,
company valued with the equity method - Polski System Recyklingu - Organizacja
Odzysku S.A.
MondiSwiecie S.A. was established at the beginning of the nineteen nineties. In
January 1991, the state-owned entity - Zaklady Celulozy i Papieru w Swieciu -
was transformed into a joint-stock company owned entirely by the State
Treasury. In April 1997, 15% of the Company's shares were floated on the Warsaw
Stock Exchange. In August 1997, a majority stake of shares was sold to a
strategic investor, Framondi NV of the Netherlands. The Company was renamed
Frantschach Swiecie.
In November 2004, the Frantschach Group and Mondi Packaging Europe Group merged
to form the Mondi Packaging Group with the common brand and logo. As a result
of the merger, the Company changed its name from Frantschach Swiecie S.A. to
Mondi Packaging Paper Swiecie S.A. on 20 January 2005.
The Frantschach Group was wholly owned by Mondi - one of the leading paper and
packaging companies. Mondi was a member of Anglo American plc, the worldwide
leader in mining and natural resources industry, till the end of June 2007. On
25 June 2007, the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders of Anglo American plc,
with the Mondi Group being its member, approved demerger of the Mondi Group
from Anglo American plc and decided to list Mondi on the London and
Johannesburg Stock Exchanges on 3 July 2007.
On 16 May 2008, the Registration Court registered the rebranded Company's
business name - Mondi Swiecie S.A.
SwiecieRecykling commenced its business activities in January 2002 based on the
Recovered Paper Purchasing Department of Frantschach Swiecie S.A. Frantschach
Swiecie S.A. (now Mondi Swiecie S.A.) took over 100% of shares in the limited
liability company (Swiecie Recykling), thus becoming its sole shareholder.
Swiecie Recykling is the major domestic supplier of recovered paper, being one
of the key raw materials for paper production, for Mondi Swiecie S.A. In
December 2004, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders adopted the
resolution regarding rebranding of this subsidiary from Frantschach Swiecie
Recykling Sp. z o.o. to Swiecie Recykling Sp. z o.o. The new name was
registered in KRS (National Court Register of Companies) on 6 January 2005.
2. CORE Products
2.1. Industry
In line with the strategy implemented by Mondi Swiecie S.A., the Group's
activities are focused on manufacturing containerboard. The Group is the Polish
leader in its own products and a significant European manufacturer of
containerboard.
The Group also manufactures sack paper, whose output in 2012 should be reduced
in line with Mondi Group's strategy of grade consolidation. However, the
intention is to focus on manufacturing lightweight kraftliners (with a basis
weight below 100 gsm) on the fast-growing segment of paper bags and other
applications.
The substantial improvement in paper quality was made thanks to the
implementation of the capital investment programme, which allows the Group to
effectively compete with leading paper producers in Europe and worldwide.
The start-up of ECO7 in September 2009 allowed increasing capacity in 2010 to
1.3 million tonnes and in 2011 to 1.4 million tonnes.
The following trends on the main product markets are identified:
- Sack Paper:
Since the Group focus is on manufacturing containerboard, the output of sack
paper decreased by 6.6 thousand tonnes compared to 2010.
- Kraftliner:
It is one of the Group's core products. In 2011, its share in the sales volume
was 33%. In 2011, the sales volume of this product decreased, whereas its
prices increased.
- Recycled papers:
The popularity of this group of papers on the packaging market is rising
systematically (average dynamics of growth over last 15 years was approx. 6.5%
annually) and now it comprises approx. 68% of total containerboard consumption.
Major factors supporting the substitution of virgin fibre-based grades
(Kraftliner, Semi-chemical Fluting) with recycled papers (Testliners, KraftTop
X, WB Fluting) are lower prices for the latter grades and their improved
quality. Another important factor is a rising environmental awareness of
communities, which has a real impact on consumer preferences and their
purchasing-related decisions.
Recycled papers are the dominant product group on the Polish containerboard
market.
2.2. Product types
Containerboard papers are sold under the common name "ProVantage" used across
the entire Mondi Group:
Containerboard:
ProVantageKraftliner (virgin fibre-based paper with an addition of recycled
fibre for outer layers of corrugated board),
ProVantageKraftliner XLite (lightweight, virgin fibre-based paper for outer
layers of corrugated board),
ProVantageKraft X (lightweight, virgin fibre-based paper with the addition of
recycled fibre for outer layers of corrugated board and for manufacture of
paper bags),
ProVantageKraftliner Aqua (virgin fibre-based paper with the addition of
recycled fibre for outer layers of corrugated board, with increased moisture
resistance, offered as a substitute for paraffin-coated papers),
ProVantageKraftTop X (virgin and recycled fibre-based paper for outer layers of
corrugated board),
ProVantageTestliner 3 (recycled fibre-based paper for outer layers of
corrugated board),
ProVantageFresco Fluting (paper with increased parameters, made of
semi-chemical and OCC pulp for inner layers of corrugated board),
ProVantageFluting WB (recycled fibre-based paper for inner layers of corrugated
board),
ProVantageFluting Aqua (paper for inner layers of corrugated board, made of
semi-chemical pulp, with increased moisture resistance, recommended as the
substitute for paraffin and resin-coated Flutings).
2.3 The position of the Group in the sector and compared to the competition
ECO7 that manufactures lightweight recycled paper, and is the
response to the increasing industrial demand for such grades allowed
significantly increasing the Group's competitiveness in Central-Eastern Europe.
The Group still offers innovative "Aqua" products (ProVantage
Kraftliner Aqua and ProVantage Fluting Aqua) that are primarily designed for
the manufacture of fruit board packaging. Their characteristic features are
increased moisture and water resistance. In October 2011, a modified product,
ProVantage Kraft X, was introduced. It is designed for the production of paper
bags. This is a fast-growing, ecological, packaging segment on the European
market.
The position of the Group in the sector and compared to the
competition in particular groups of products is as follows:
Containerboard:
Kraftliner
ProVantageKraftliner (virgin fibre-based paper for outer layers of corrugated
board) - the Group's core product - Sales in 2011 reached 33% of the total
sales volume, i.e. down 2% (442.8 thousand tonnes in 2011 versus 452.8 thousand
tonnes in 2010).
ProvantageKraft X (lightweight, virgin fibre-based paper with the addition of
recycled fibre for outer layers of corrugated board and for the manufacture of
paper bags). Thanks to the ecological trend in Europe towards reducing the
manufacture and use of plastic bags, there are good prospects for this
product's future success. In 2011, its sales volume reached 2.3 thousand
tonnes.
ProVantageKraftliner XLite - thanks to this paper's exceptionally high strength
parameters and very low basis weight, it offers corrugated board manufacturers
an additional benefit - more m2 of corrugated board to be made from one tonne
of paper. In the audited period, the sales volume of this paper amounted to
24.8 thousand tonnes, i.e. up 24% compared to 2010.
ProVantageAqua Kraftliner - an innovative product introduced to the Company's
product portfolio in 2005. In 2011, the sales volume of this product amounted
to 5.4 thousand tonnes, down 14% compared to the sales level in 2010.
Semi-chemical Fluting
ProVantageFluting Fresco - this paper is designed, among other things, for
fruit packaging that needs increased moisture resistance. In the audited
period, the sales volume of this product reached 162.4 thousand tonnes, i.e. up
5.4% compared to 2010.
ProVantageAqua Fluting - an innovative product introduced to the Company's
product portfolio in 2005. The sales volume of this product in 2011 reached
23.8 thousand tonnes, up 10% compared to 2010.
Recycled fibre-based papers
ProVantageTestliner 2: this grade was not produced in 2011. In 2010, its sales
volume reached 4.4 thousand tonnes.
ProVantageTestliner 3: in the audited period, the sales volume increased by 4%
(from 178.6 thousand tonnes in 2010 to 185.1 thousand tonnes in 2011).
ProVantageWB Fluting: in the audited period, the sales volume increased by 13%
(from 245.8 thousand tonnes in 2010 to 277.6 thousand tonnes in 2011).
ProVantageKraftTop X - very good quality virgin and recycled fibre-based paper
for outer layers of corrugated board - the sales volume reached 199.0 thousand
tonnes, up 15% (compared to 173.4 thousand tonnes in 2010).
Containerboard products are sold to many foreign manufacturers. Containerboard
sold abroad accounted for 67.8% of the sales volume.
On the domestic market, 76.6% of the sold volume of containerboard is recycled
papers. The main domestic competitors are Stora Enso Poland S.A. and foreign
manufacturers, mainly from Germany and Hungary.
Sack paper:
The product is fully made from virgin fibre. The main competitor on the
domestic sack market is Stora Enso Poland S.A.
The sales volume in 2011 reached 34.8 thousand tonnes, down 16% compared to
2010. Due to the implementation of Group's strategy and the fact that Mondi
Swiecie S.A. focuses on manufacturing containerboard, production of sack paper
has ceased since January 2012.
After the periodic paper market stagnation caused by the global economic
crisis, paper prices were quite stable, with an upward trend in the first
half-year of 2011. Another economic slump and prospects of another recession
means paper prices have been dropping since the fourth quarter of 2011.
In line with the Group's strategy, the focus was placed on providing a
wide-range Service to our Customers in 2011. We commenced work on the "ONE"
Project with the aim of optimising and harmonising all logistics and
sales-related processes, which should strengthen our position in the near
future. In spite of the growing prices of raw materials (pulpwood logs,
recovered paper) and of transport services, the Group's competitiveness remains
at quite a high level thanks to the consistent implementation of the long-term
sales strategy by the Management Board.
2.4. Structure of sales
In 2011, the structure of product sales of the Mondi Swiecie Group by major
groups of products was as follows (in thousand tonnes):
Product group 2011 2010
Sack paper 35 41
Kraftliner 475 479
Semi-chemical fluting 186 176
Recycled paper 662 602
Total 1358 1298
2.5. Sales markets
In 2011, the export share of finished products (by volume) remained at a level
similar to that of the previous year:
Year 2011 2010
Export share 67% 66%
In 2011, the sale of paper grades manufactured by the Group was still focused
on European markets (including the Polish market). The sales volume to these
markets in the audited period accounted for 87.5%.
In the audited period, the geographical structure of revenues from the sale of
paper by Mondi Swiecie S.A. by main sales markets is as follows:
Country Share in gross revenues
Poland 31.0%
Germany 14.0%
Italy 6.1%
Benelux 5.2%
France 5.1%
Great Britain 5.1%
Sweden 3.6%
Turkey 3.5%
Israel 2.5%
Finland 2.1%
Sales to the above-mentioned markets accounted for 78% of Group's gross
revenues from the sale of paper.
In the audited period, the domestic market share in the revenues from the sale
of paper remained at a similar level and accounted for 31.0% in 2011 versus
30.8% in 2010, whereas the domestic market share by volume decreased by 0.9 %.
This resulted from the increase in the prices of recycled papers such as
Testliner and WB Fluting, which was clearly higher than that applied to other
grades.
3. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE ACHIEVED RESULTS
3.1. Analysis of sales revenues
In 2011, the Group's sales revenues totalled PLN 2, 771.1 million, which was
22.4% higher than the figure of PLN 2, 263.7 million posted in 2010. The change
resulted from an increase in both product sales revenues and goods and
materials sales revenues.
In 2011, the revenues from the sale of products advanced by PLN 475.0 million
(up 21.1%) when compared to 2010. The primary factors contributing to the
increase were the rise in the revenues from the sale of finished products (up
PLN 450.3 million), positive difference on exchange rates from the valuation
and settlements of receivables (up PLN 24.5 million).
Higher revenues from the sale of finished products chiefly resulted from the
rise in prices for all the grades of paper manufactured by the Group and, to
the lower degree, from the higher sales volume.
The share of paper sales in total sales revenues was 92%.
In 2011, the weighted average price denominated in EUR increased by 13.1% when
compared to the last years' level. Due to the weakening of Polish zloty against
the euro (by 2.8%), the price denominated in PLN rose by 16.3%. Higher prices
in EUR applied to all the Group's papers. The price for recycled grades such as
Testliner and WB Fluting increased by 20.6% on average, chiefly because of a
sharp rise in recovered paper prices in the reporting period. The prices of the
Group's other grades also rose. Prices increased as follows: Kraftliner by
8.6 %, Kraft Top X by 15.0%, and Fresco Fluting by 14.9%. The price of sack
paper rose by 17.3%.
In 2011, the paper sales volume climbed by 59.5 thousand tonnes (up 5%) year on
year, while the production output rose by 54.5 thousand tonnes (up 4%).
In 2011, the revenues from green (renewable) energy and red energy
(co-generated with heat) certificates totalled PLN 137.6 million. These
revenues compare with PLN 139.3 million in 2010. The increase of PLN 19.0
million in the revenues from green certificates originated primarily from
separating, at the beginning of 2011, the new units generating electric energy
from renewable sources. This allowed obtaining an increased number of green
certificates from biomass burning in the CFB and BFB boilers. Another important
cause was the higher output of pulp, which resulted in a rise in Recovery
Boiler steam generation and thus in an increased output of electric power. The
revenues from the sale of red certificates in 2011 are decidedly lower (by PLN
20.7 million) compared to the previous year. Sales in 2010 were affected by a
one-off event, which was the allocation by the Energy Regulatory Office of
certificates in arrears for 2008-2009 for the total amount of PLN 13.5 million.
However, since the half-year of 2011 the prices of red certificates have been
dropping significantly, which adversely affects the sales value and the
valuation of certificates on stock. The increase in the output of finished
products and pulp only partially offset the negative impacts of the
above-mentioned events on the value of sales of red certificates.
The Group's revenues from the sale of goods and materials in 2011 totalled PLN
45.9 million, compared to the revenues of PLN 12.7 million in 2010. One of the
major factors was the increase in the revenues from the sale of CO2 emission
allowances, which also included the surplus generated in 2008-2010.
In addition to the sale of paper, green and red energy certificates and CO2
excess emission allowances, the Group obtains revenues from lease, sale of
electric energy, heat and by-products - primarily resin soap and turpentine.
3.2. Analysis of other income statement items
3.2.1. Production volume
The production volume for main groups of products (in thousand tonnes) was as
follows:
Products 2011 2010
Containerboard 1 333 1 272
Sack paper 35 41
Total 1 368 1 313
The significantly increased production output of containerboard (when compared
to the analogical period of last year) chiefly results from the optimisation of
performance of the new paper machine - PM7 - the output of which in 2011 was
465 thousand tonnes of paper. This figure is higher by 54 thousand tonnes than
the output in 2010.
3.2.2. Basic raw materials and services
Basic raw materials used in production are as follows:
Wood (Pulpwood): In view of the insufficient supply of wood on the domestic
market, the Group had to satisfy its needs through the less cost-effective
import of raw materials.
In 2011, the Group's wood purchasing volume grew by 8% year on year. The rise
is attributable to the rebuilding of raw material stocks. In the reporting
period, the purchase prices of pine and birch rose by 18% on average compared
to the price level in 2010. The rise in the average price reflects the price
increase from specific supply sources. The State Forest Enterprise remained the
key pulpwood supplier.
Recovered paper: In the period under review, recovered paper was acquired
through Swiecie Recykling. In the reporting period, the average purchase price
of recovered paper increased by 17% compared to 2010.
Coal: In 2011, the average price of coal increased by 24% compared to 2010. The
Group continued its supply sources diversification policy through coal import.
Biofuels: Biomass was obtained mostly from sawmill sources (bark, wood strap
and chips). The remaining portion of biofuels was generated in the internal
woodworking and paper production processes. In the period under review, energy
generated by the Group from renewable sources accounted for approx. 83%. This
performance gave rise to the additional revenues from the sale of green energy
certificates.
Transportation of finished products: In 2011, the Group's expenditures incurred
for transportation of finished products increased by approx 17.1% compared to
the previous year. The rise in transportation costs was primarily the result of
the increase in the average transportation rate and to a lower extent of the
rise in the sales volume. The average transportation rate denominated in EUR
rose by 8.7% compared to 2010. The rise in fuel prices was the major factor
contributing to the change in the average transportation rate.
The impacts of the above-mentioned factors (as discussed above: the changes of
the prices of products and raw materials and hedge) were reflected in the net
profit of PLN 395.9 million compared to the profit of PLN 249.3 million
generated in 2010.

Information that is essential for the evaluation of the personnel related
situation, assets related situation, financial condition, financial results and
changes in the situation as well as information that is essential for the
evaluation of the possibility of paying liabilities
The Group's financial results in 2011 reflect the good economic situation on
the European paper market throughout most of the year. Throughout the last
period, the average paper sales price increased compared to the previous year;
however, the characteristic feature for the last quarter of 2011 was a
declining trend. In 2011, the prices of basic raw materials, namely wood and
recovered paper increased, although the price increase dynamics were
significantly weaker than those of the previous years. The prices of transport
services grew considerably. The sale of excess CO2 emission allowances strongly
contributed to the financial performance of 2011.
In the last period, the assumptions regarding the production area, including
further progress in ECO7 performance optimisation, came true fully.
To further optimise manufacturing costs, the Management Board of the Company
decided to commence the process with the aim to buy back the shares in the
entity that owns the Power Plant assets, which provides services to the
Company and is covered by a long-term contract of lease.
4.10. Factors and untypical events impacting the result
In 2011, no untypical events and factors impacting significantly the Group's
result occurred.
4.11. Activities in the Special Economic Zone
Due to the execution of the investment project (PM7 machine), Mondi Swiecie
S.A. was granted, on 20 December 2007, the permit to run economic activities in
the Pomorska Special Economic Zone. Thus, the Company was granted the
entitlement to be exempt from income tax for some part of its income. The
existing enterprise of Mondi Swiecie S.A., as well as the areas acquired from
State Forest Enterprise, were included into the area of the Pomorska Special
Economic Zone in pursuance with the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 2
November 2007 amending the Regulation regarding the Pomorska Special Economic
Zone (Journal of Laws 2007 no. 211 item 1545).
The above-mentioned permit authorised Mondi Swiecie S.A. to obtain public aid,
which comprises the exemption from corporate income tax starting from the
following month after the month when conditions of bearing capital expenditures
and reaching the specific employment level have been fulfilled. Mondi Swiecie
S.A. fulfilled the above-mentioned conditions in July 2009 and was granted the
entitlement to be exempt from the tax for the part of its income since August
2009 till the time for which the Pomorska Special Economic Zone was
established, which is till 30 November 2017. Thus, the incomes from basic
activities, i.e. sale of finished products were exempt. The permit is now being
examined by the European Commission for compliance of the public aid granted
with the common market under Regulation (EC) No. 659/1999 laying down detailed
rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty. The Group expects
that this process will end in 2012.
In the event of the process prolonging beyond 2012, the total domestic limit
for public aid (EUR 37.5 million) that may be granted to the Group with no
necessity of obtaining the consent of the European Commission will be exhausted
this year. Then, the entitlement of Mondi Swiecie S.A. to be exempt from
corporate income tax under the permit as referred above would be suspended till
the European Commission procedure is closed. In this situation, the Group would
pay monthly advance payments for corporate income tax in the amount that
disregards the exemption, starting from the month when the allowed domestic
limit was exceeded. Since the Group does not expect that the European
Commission procedure will extend beyond 2012, the full amount of corporate
income tax as covered by the exemption under the permit to run business
activities in the Pomorska Special Economic Zone should be settled within the
corporate income tax for 2012.
New investment project related expenditures are the basis for calculating the
public aid pursuant to the rules specified in s 4 Clause 3 of the Regulation of
the Council of Ministers of 5 December 2006 on the Pomorska Special Economic
Zone (Journal of Laws 2006, no. 228 item 1667). Based on discounted
expenditures incurred by 31 December 2011, Mondi Swiecie S.A. was authorised to
receive public aid that is not higher than the amount of PLN 247 853 thousand.
The public aid comprising the exemption of the part of income from the
corporate income tax may be consumed in the period of time over which Mondi
Swiecie S.A. shows the income from the activities covered by exemption, which
is that the total income of Mondi Swiecie S.A. less taxed income, not covered
by the exemption, is positive. The calculated amount of public aid consumed by
31 December 2011 was PLN 91 802 thousand (this includes discounted amounts of
corporate income tax exemption, real property tax exemption and the amounts of
refunding the costs of equipment and providing equipment to workplaces). Out of
this amount, the discounted value of exemption from corporate income tax was
PLN 83 928 thousand (nominal value of exemption was PLN 104 119 thousand).
4.12. Description of the development and operating drivers
4.12.1. External drivers
The influence of external factors that are significant to the Group's
operations and development is described under "Position of the Group in the
sector and compared
to the Competition".
4.12.2. Planned development of the Group
In 2012, the Group will continue to make progress by concentrating on four
strategy pillars which comprise: strive for Operational Excellence, Customer
Focus, Innovation and Human Resources Development.
One of the key activities for this year is to end our works on the preparation
of the Group's long-term development strategy till 2020, both in the areas of
paper production and ensuring the energy sources.
At the same time, in consideration of the depressed market, in particular in
the fourth quarter of 2011, the Group will undertake initiatives to sustain the
present high profitability of its activities through:
Maintaining its position on key sales markets, in particular in Poland and EU
states, among other things, by implementing initiatives that aim to improve the
quality of products sold and service offered (harmonising logistics-sales
processes under the ONE Project, extending make-to-stock offer), while keeping
the price competitiveness;
Further managing effectively the area of satisfying energy needs, including,
among other things, through implementation of the Call Option of power
generating assets from PEP S.A., responding actively to changing legislation;
Improving the management of working assets of the Group and controlling
operating costs more strictly;
Searching for further sources of optimisation for the wood, recovered paper,
biomass supply system.
The Management Board of the Group also puts a focus on people development and
improving employee skills. For this reason, the Group has launched and has been
implementing the Talent Management Programme. Also, the School of Leaders and
E-learning have been launched. In addition, the Leadership Development
Programme is being implemented across the organisation.
It is critical for the Group to increase employee safety. Based on the explicit
"Zero Tolerance for Unsafe Acts" principle, the work safety and occupational
hygiene growth strategy has been developed and is being implemented with the
aim to improve working conditions on a continuous basis.
4.12.3. Achievements in the area of research and development
In 2011, the Group implemented the investment programme with the total outlays
(capital expenditures) of PLN 39 million. The major capital projects included:
the continuation of PM7 optimisation (Capex of PLN 10 million in 2011) and
replacement of DCS at the Kraft Pulp Plant (Capex of PLN 3 million).
4.12.4. Current and expected financial position of the Group
As of the reporting date, the Group was in a good financial condition due to
its operational efficiency, strong sector position, invariably positive cash
flows on operating activities and improving financial liquidity ensured through
a gradual reduction of external financing. The Group's investment projects are
the basis for maintaining the Group's financial situation safe in the coming
years.
4.12.5. Factors that will impact the Group's results as expected by the Group
In the short-term, the financial condition of the Group will be significantly
impacted by the trend of paper and basic raw material (wood and recovered
paper) prices that will be either maintained or changed, PLN/EUR exchange rate
stabilisation and optimisation of PM7 performance.
The Group's business is primarily exposed to the following risks:
- market risks (including foreign currency risk, interest risk),
- liquidity risk,
- credit risk.
Market risk
The Group is exposed to market risks related to prices of paper and basic raw
materials and services, as well as foreign currency exchange and interest
rates.
Paper price
Paper market is highly competitive, partly scattered, with a noticeable
significant price fluctuation in the past, whose prices are strongly affected
by the change in demand and foreign currency exchange rates. Thanks to its
partial production diversification, the Group, depending on market prices, is
prepared to offer a wide range of products, from fully recycled grades to
products fully made of virgin fibre.
Prices of key raw materials and services
Key raw material prices, i.e. wood and recovered paper, energy and transport
services, which are not fully correlated with the changes of paper prices, have
a considerable influence on the Group's results and financial condition.
In particular, performance may be impacted by:
Sales Policy of the major wood supplier - the State Forest Enterprise,
Level of waste paper recovery and of exports of recovered paper,
Due to the power-consuming production: the coal and biomass prices, prices of
CO2 allowances, legal regulations regarding the support for energy generation
from renewable sources and energy co-generated with heat,
Prices for transport services, both road and rail transport.
The Group has been undertaking a number of initiatives that in particular
comprise diversification of raw material supply sources. Also, the activities
are being taken to optimise energy costs. For this purpose, the Group has
undertaken steps the aim of which is to exercise the Voluntary Call Option
covering Saturn Management Sp. z o.o. i Wspolnicy to be bought back from PEP
S.A. Saturn Management is the owner of the Power Plant that operates to satisfy
Mondi Swiecie needs and provides operating services to Mondi Swiecie S.A..
Interest risk
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates primarily
relates to financial liabilities and short-term cash deposits. As of the
balance sheet date, both items compensate significantly, thus reducing the
Group's exposure to interest risk. The Group's policy is to manage the interest
rate cost using both a mix of fixed and variable rates of interest.
Foreign currency risk
Due to the fact that approximately 67% of finished product sales transactions
are performed in foreign currencies (EUR - 59%, USD - 8%), whereas the most of
the costs are incurred in the reporting currency, especially in the situation
where the exchange rate fluctuation is very high, the Group is exposed to the
currency exchange risk and consequently to high variability of expected
financial results. The foreign currency transactional exposure comprises mainly
transactions denominated in EUR, USD and GBP (to a significantly lower extent).
The Group uses the hedging policy comprising the coverage of probable future
capital expenditures (for investment projects the value of which exceeds EUR 5
million) and arising balance exposure.
The forward contracts that hedge probable future capital expenditures are
classified as the cash flow hedge and hedge accounting rules are applicable to
them. The hedge accounting rules do not apply to forward contracts hedging the
balance exposure.
The derivatives used by the Group are valued according to the fair value. The
fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined in relation to
the current forward rates for the contracts with a similar maturity date.
For a hedge of the probable future significant capital expenditures that meets
the criteria of hedge accounting, the part of gains or losses on the hedging
instrument, which was recognised to be the effective hedge, is directly booked
to equity, whereas the part which was recognised to be ineffective is booked to
the current period's financial costs or revenues. For cash flow hedge, gains or
losses booked to equity are transferred to the value of investments commenced
in the same period when the hedged probable capital expenditure is booked to
the value of these investments.
Gains and losses caused by the change in the fair value of the transaction to
which hedge accounting does not apply are booked directly to the current
period's financial revenues or costs.
The Group discontinues applying hedge accounting principles when the hedging
instrument has expired or has been sold, terminated or completed or when the
hedge does not meet any longer the conditions allowing applying hedge
accounting principles to such an instrument. In this event, total gains or
losses on the hedging instrument, which have been booked hitherto on equity are
still shown in equity until the forecast transaction is made. If the forecast
transaction stops being probable, then total gains or net losses as booked to
equity are transferred to the current period's net financial result.
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or contracts that are not
financial instruments are regarded as separate derivatives if the nature of the
embedded instrument and related risks do not directly relate to the nature of
the basic contract and related risks and if basic contracts are not valued
according to the fair value, the changes of which are booked to the income
statement.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risks result from the relation of working assets to short-term
liabilities. As of 31 December 2011, the current ratio was 2.17 (compared to
1.45 at the end of 2010). As of 31 December 2011, the value of available credit
lines of the Group amounted to PLN 678.2 million, whereas consumption of them
was PLN 419.2 million.
High competitiveness of the Group and its strong market position ensure that
operating liquidity will be kept and bank financing and co-operation with banks
will be continued. The Group regularly monitors the future liquidity position -
short and medium-term forecasts of inflows and expenditures in specific
currencies are prepared, which are the basis for making decisions to use
external financing such as credit tranches or overdraft.
Credit risk
The Group enters into hedging transactions and locates its deposits only with
recognised, creditworthy financial institutions. As committed in the finance
agreements (the three-year guarantee facility for the 9-year EIB credit) Mondi
Swiecie S.A. is obliged to carry out such transactions only with financial
institutions involved in such financing or with Mondi Finance plc.
The credit risk related to the receivables is significantly limited due to the
fact that the Group's export sales risk is fully covered by the distribution
company - Mondi Packaging Paper Sales GmbH.
Domestic receivables from unrelated entities are covered by insurance and
Customers are subject to the creditworthiness review procedure. Contractor
receivables are regularly monitored by the financial service.
4.13. Management and Computerisation
In the reporting period, the projects with the aim to improve business
processes, reduce operating costs of IT systems and increase their reliability
were launched. Testing of the wood logs, chips and biomass laser measurement
system for truck's deliveries was commenced. The monitoring system of strategic
raw material deliveries was started-up. Work on the wood delivery receipt/
acceptance system with virtualisation of IT environment has begun.
Changes in basic management of the Company and its Group
In the reporting period no such events occurred.
4.15.Information on proceedings pending before the court, competent body for
arbitration proceedings or public administrative body
On 4 February 2011, the Management Board of Mondi Swiecie S.A. adopted the
resolution concerning the Company's exercising the Voluntary Call Option
("Option"), as specified in the General Agreement of 29 April 2002 entered into
by and between the Company and Polish Energy Partners S.A. with its registered
office in Warsaw ("PEP") and Saturn Management Spolka z ograniczona
odpowiedzialnoScia i Wspolnicy, Spolka komandytowa with its registered office
in Warsaw ("SM sp.k.").
As reported by the Management Board in the report as of 4 February 2011, the
Call Option is to be exercised on the condition that the Arbitration Court of
the Polish Chamber of Commerce renders a favourable award for the Company in
the proceedings initiated by the suit brought by the Company against PEP for
having it determined that the offer for sales of 100% shares of Saturn
Management Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Warsaw and of all rights
and obligations of PEP as a limited partner in SM sp.k., which was submitted by
PEP to the Company in execution of decisions concerning the Voluntary Call
Option as specified in the General Agreement, has not expired and is binding
for PEP on conditions laid down in the Company's suit that is the sales price
is to be fixed on the formula provided in the General Agreement. The suit
regarding this issue was brought by the Management Board on 4 February 2011.
On 27 June 2011 PEP brought the counter-claim statement to the Arbitration
Court of the Polish Chamber of Commerce against the Company. In this suit PEP
requests the Arbitration Court to determine, as a principle, that the price for
exercising the Option by Mondi covers the reimbursement to PEP of lost benefits
from energy in renewable sources and co-generated energy. Moreover, PEP
indicated in the above-mentioned counter-claim the detailed mechanism for
calculating the Option price, which is in compliance with the general rules as
specified in the previous clause.
On 13 February 2012 the Company received a favourable ruling from the
Arbitration Court of the Polish Chamber of Commerce, dated 10 February 2012,
that the offer for sales of 100% shares of Saturn Management Sp. z o.o. with
its registered office in Warsaw and of all rights and obligations of PEP as a
limited partner in SM sp.k., which was submitted by PEP on 29 April 2002 in
execution of the General Agreement, is binding for PEP on conditions laid down
in the Company's suit that is the sales price is to be fixed on the formula
provided in the General Agreement. Consequently, PEP's counter-claim was
dismissed by the court. The court decision is final, however it may be appealed
in the civil court, based on the Civil Procedure Code. The decision fulfils one
of the conditions precedent for realization of the Voluntary Call Option.
4.16. Agreements concluded between the Company and Members of the Management
Board of the Company

Fulfilment of the recommendation concerning the remuneration policy and rules
of defining the policy
Mondi Swiecie S.A. adheres to the rules of defining the remuneration for the
Company's employees that are compliant with the internal remuneration rules.
The remuneration rules for Members of Supervisory and Management Boards of the
Company are compliant with the remuneration policy of the Mondi Group (of which
the Company is member). The aim of the policy is to recruit and motivate
competent directors complying with the best practice and at the same time
consider the interests of Shareholders. The major rules of the policy, as
defined and used by the Remuneration Committee of the Mondi Group that has
non-executive directors of the Mondi Group as its members are as follows:
Remuneration should be on a competitive level for a specific market,
Remuneration structure, in particular the structure of the changeable part of
the remuneration should depend on achievements, should take into account the
interests of Shareholders and promote achievement of the Mondi Group business
strategy.
A considerable part of the remuneration should depend on achievement of short-
and long-term objectives,
When defining the remuneration for managerial staff of the Group, Mondi takes
into account the salary conditions at various areas of the Mondi Group.
The remuneration of Members of the Management Boards of Mondi Group companies
may be composed of fixed and changeable parts. Members of Management Boards of
Group's companies are entitled to take part in the Bonus Share Plan (BSP).
Under the BSP, the changeable part of the bonus is awarded against achievement
of both individual and corporate targets (leading financial indicators and work
and health indicators). Part of the bonus awarded may be paid immediately in
cash and part is paid in deferred shares of Mondi plc (major company of the
Mondi Group) which vest after three years subject to the executive remaining in
the Group's service. The rules that apply to the changeable part of the
remuneration and shares are determined by the Mondi Group Remuneration
Committee.
The principle is that the employment relationship with Members of Management
Boards is based on the employment contracts with a term of notice of several
months. The severance pays are paid under the rules of the common labour law.
Members of the Company's authorities are appointed in compliance
with the Company's Statute from among the candidates who have the appropriate
professional knowledge and experience that ensure due performance of their
duties. Information on candidates for Members of Mondi Swiecie Supervisory and
Management Boards is published on the Company's website.
Fulfilment of the recommendation concerning a balanced proportion of women and
men in management and supervisory functions in companies
The Mondi Swiecie S.A. standpoint is as follows:
When ensuring a balanced proportion of women and men in management and
supervisory bodies, in accordance with Mondi Leadership Criteria, the Company
regards professional and leadership competences as the major criteria of
employment and promotion of employees, irrespective of gender. Thus, women have
the chances of achieving professional success equal to men. Such actions are
compliant with the rules of the Mondi Global Employment Policy. Under the
rules, we are committed to:
promote workforce equality and seek to eliminate all forms of unfair
discrimination,
recruit and hire the most appropriately skilled individuals, investing in their
career development; seek to maintain a regular, two-way flow of information
with employees to maximise their identification with and ability to contribute
to our business; seek to maintain a balance in our work and family lives.
5.2 The extent to which the Company waived the Code of Best Practice, indication of
such Practices and reasons for the waiver
The Management Board states that in 2011 the Code of Best Practice for
WSE-listed Companies, as laid down in the Attachment to Resolution No. 17/1249/
2010 of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Supervisory Board dated 19 May 2010, entitled
"Code of Best Practice for WSE-Listed Companies" was complied with, excluding
the rules specified below:
Part III "Best Practice for Supervisory Board Members"
Rule 6: Instead of the rule providing that at least two members of the
Supervisory Board should meet the criteria of being independent, the Company
has adhered for many years to the rule according to which the Company'semployees should have their representation in the Supervisory Board membership.
Pursuant to s17 of the Company's Statute, the General Meeting of the Company's
Shareholders appoints and dismisses the Supervisory Board Members, with 1/3 of
Members from among the persons elected by the Company's employees. The
historical background for the Supervisory Board membership of the personnel
representatives ensures that people who are not related to a strategic investor
that has owned a majority of the Company's shares since the privatisation
participate in the adoption of resolutions of the Supervisory Board.
Rule 8: There are no Supervisory Board committees with membership of people who
are independent Members of the Supervisory Board as understood in Rule 6.
Part IV "Best Practices of Shareholders"
Rule 1: The Company does not exclude the presence of representatives of media
at the General Meetings, but the relevant decision shall be the responsibility
of the Chairman of the General Meeting of Shareholders.
5.3 Basic characteristics of internal audit and risk management systems used in the
Company to the preparation of financial statements and consolidated financial
statements
The Management Board of the Company is responsible for the Company's internal
audit system and its effectiveness in relation to the preparation of financial
statements and periodic reports that are prepared and published pursuant to
Regulation of 19 February 2009 regarding current and periodic information to be
reported by issuers of securities. The aim of the effective internal audit
system in the financial reporting is to ensure that information presented in
financial statements and periodic reports is adequate and correct.
In the preparation of the Company's and Group's financial statements one of the
key audit components comprises the audit of the financial statements by an
independent auditor. Such auditor's responsibilities include: audit of
semi-annual financial statements as well as preliminary and final audit of the
annual consolidated and separate financial statements. The independent auditor
is appointed by the Supervisory Board. After the audit, financial statements
are sent to the Company's Supervisory Board Members for their evaluation of the
Company's and Group's financial statements.
Internal audit by the Internal Audit Department is a key component of the risk
management in relation to the preparation of financial statements. The annual
schedule of internal audits is made based on a risk assessment prepared jointly
with the Management Board. In addition to scheduled audits, reviews are
conducted that cover the implementation of prior audit recommendations as well
as unscheduled audits are carried out if requested by the Management Board.
Internal Audit prepares reports that include recommendations whose aim is to
make audit mechanism more efficient. Such reports are delivered to the
Management Board Members and the Audit Committee. Pursuant to the latest
amendments to the Act on certified auditors and their self-government (Journal
of Laws No. 77 of 2009, item 649), the Company established the Audit Committee
that, in particular, is responsible for: controlling of the financial reporting
process; monitoring of the efficiency of internal control system, internal
audit system and risk management; supervision of the execution of financial
review activities; monitoring of independence of a certified auditor and an
entity authorised to audit financial statements.
The Audit Committee shall meet once a quarter before the Company's Supervisory
Board meetings to discuss, among other things, ended internal audits executed
at the Company, audits of the implementation of audit recommendations and those
arising out of prior audits and to discuss the findings and recommendations
made by third party auditors. In addition to Audit Committee Members, the
meetings of this body are attended by delegated Members of the Company's
Management Board and the Company's and Mondi Group's Internal Auditors.
The Finance Area reporting to the Finance Director is responsible for preparing
financial statements, periodic financial reports and current reporting of the
Company.
The Company's and Group's financial statements are prepared by middle level
management and before being provided to the independent auditor they are
checked by the Finance Director.
Financial figures that are the basis for financial statements and periodic
reports are taken from the Company's monthly financial and operating reports.
Middle and senior level management, jointly with the Finance Area analyse
Company's and particular organisational units' financial performance, comparing
it to business assumptions, after accounting books for each calendar months are
closed.
Identified errors are corrected on a current basis in the Company's books in
line with the accounting policy. The preparation process of financial
statements and periodic reports commences after results of the period ended are
approved by the Finance Director.
In the Company, business strategies and plans are reviewed on an annual basis.
Medium and senior level management is involved in detailed budgeting that
covers all Company's areas. The budget and the business plan for the following
year are adopted by the Company's Management Board and approved by the
Supervisory Board. The Company's Management Board, during the year, analyses
financial results comparing them to the budget, based on the Company's
accounting policy.
The Company's accounting policy with regard to statutory reporting is applied
both to budgeting and during preparation of periodic reporting. The Company
uses coherent accounting principles when presenting financial data in financial
statements, periodic financial reports and other reports delivered to
Shareholders.
The Company evaluates on a regular basis the quality of internal audit and risk
management systems in relation to the preparation of financial statements.
Based on the evaluation made, the Management Board of the Company is of the
opinion that as of 31 December 2011 there were no weaknesses that could
significantly impact the effectiveness of the internal audit in relation to
financial reporting.

IFRIC 19 "Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments", adopted
by the EU on 23 July 2010 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1

Main accounting principles used by the Group are presented below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the
parent company and financial statements of its controlled companies (or
subsidiaries) as at the balance sheet date.
An entity is controlled when the parent company has a possibility of impacting
financial and operating policies of the controlled entity to benefit from its
business.
As at the date of acquisition assets and liabilities of the acquired unit are
valued according to their fair value. In case the acquisition price exceeds the
fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, such an excess of price is
shown as the goodwill. In case the acquisition price is lower than the fair
value of identifiable net assets of the acquired company, such a difference is
shown as a profit in the profit and loss account for the period of time when
acquisition was finalised.
Financial results of acquired or sold companies in the year under review are
shown in the consolidated financial statements from/ until their acquisition or
sale respectively.
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. The
Company participates in the financial and operating policy decisions of the
associate but does not control those policies. Associates that compose the
Group are Polski System Recyklingu - Organizacja Odzysku S.A. Financial
participation in associates is valued with equity method, except for the
situation where investment is classified as for sale.
Reporting periods of associates and the Group are identical and all entities
use the same accounting principles.
Investments in associates are presented in note no. 17.
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of
carried values (purchase price) and fair value less sale costs. Non-current
assets are classified as held for sale if it is expected that such sale will be
completed within one year after the date of classification change.
Shares in associates classified as held for sale, pursuant to IFRS 5, are not
recognised in the consolidated financial statements according to equity method.
Revenue recognition
Revenues from sales of products, goods and services are included in the fair
value of receivables or outstanding payments and they represent liabilities
under normal business operations, less discounts, VAT and other sales taxes.
Revenues from sales of products and goods are shown after all conditions below
have been fulfilled:
Significant risk and benefits from products and goods' property rights are
transferred from the Group to a purchaser;
Managerial functions are ceded by the Group to the extent related to the
property right and effective control over products and goods sold;
It is possible to reliably valuate the revenues amount;
There is a likelihood that the Company is granted economic benefits related to
the transaction;
It is possible to reliably valuate incurred or expected costs of transaction.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, in relation to the amount due,
according to the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders' rights to receive payment
have been established.
Subsidies
Governmental subsidies are recognised as revenue if it is reasonably certain
that such subsidy will be received and all subsidy related conditions will be
fulfilled. If a subsidy concerns a specific cost item, then it is recognised as
revenue that is commensurate / proportional to costs the subsidy is intended to
offset. If a subsidy relates to the asset item, then the subsidy fair value is
recognised on the account of future periods' revenues and then it is gradually
written off, by way of equal annual write-offs, to the statement of
comprehensive income for the estimated service life of a related asset item.
Foreign currencies
Transactions made in a currency other than the Polish zloty (PLN) are valued at
the average National Bank of Poland exchange rate as at the last business day
prior to the date of transaction. Payments to and from foreign currency bank
accounts are recorded using purchasing or selling exchange rates used by the
bank where the transaction is made. As at the balance sheet date, monetary
assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are converted
using the average National Bank of Poland exchange rate as per the same day.
In order to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks, the Group
enters into foreign currency forward contracts. See below for details of the
Group's accounting policies in respect of such derivative financial
instruments.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are
added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs that do not meet the above-mentioned criteria are
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Retirement benefit costs
Retirement benefit costs provision is recorded equal to the valuation being
carried out using actuarial method. The basis for the provision calculation is
the Company's collective employment agreement. Unregulated issues are solved
based on the Polish Labour Code.
Division into long and short-term provisions is made according to the
proportion established using statistic methods used by an actuarial.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred
tax.
The tax currently payable (CIT) is based on the taxable profit for the year
established in accordance to corporate income tax law. The taxable profit is
calculated based on a gross result that is next adjusted by non-taxable
revenues, expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability for current
tax is calculated using tax rates that are valid in a specific tax year.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the
balance sheet liability method.
Deferred tax provision is generally recognised for all positive taxable
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised with regard to all
negative taxable temporary differences in such an amount that it is probable
that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
Value of deferred tax assets is verified as at each balance sheet day and is
reduced appropriately if future tax profits sufficient to realise a portion or
all of a given deferred tax asset cease to be expected.
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates that are expected to be in force
in the period where the constituent of assets will be completed or the
provision will be consumed, disregarding tax exemptions the application of
which is not certain.
Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except
when it relates to deferred tax provision from hedged deals that are charged or
credited directly to equity. Assets and deferred tax provisions are separately
presented in the statement of financial position and are not offset.
Presentation of the corporate income tax exemption due to running economic
activities in Special Economic Zone
Due to the execution of the investment project (PM7 machine), Mondi Swiecie
S.A. was granted, on 20 December 2007, a permit to run economic activities in
the Pomorska Special Economic Zone. Thus, the Company was granted the
entitlement to be exempt from income tax for some part of its income. The
existing enterprise of Mondi Swiecie S.A., as well as the areas acquired from
State Forest Enterprise were included into the area of the Pomorska Special
Economic Zone in pursuance with the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 2
November 2007 amending the Regulation regarding the Pomorska Special Economic
Zone (Journal of Laws 2007 no. 211 item 1545).
The above-mentioned permit authorised Mondi Swiecie S.A. to obtain public aid,
which comprises the exemption from corporate income tax starting from the
following month after the month when conditions of bearing capital expenditures
and reaching the specific employment level have been fulfilled. Mondi Swiecie
S.A. fulfilled the above-mentioned conditions in July 2009 and was granted the
entitlement to be exempt from the tax for the part of its income since August
2009 till the time for which the Pomorska Special Economic Zone was
established, which is till 30 November 2017. Thus, the incomes from basic
activities, i.e. sale of finished products were exempt. The permit is now being
examined by the European Commission for compliance of the public aid granted
with the common market under Regulation (EC) No. 659/1999 laying down detailed
rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty. The Group expects
that this process will end in 2012.
In the event the process prolongs beyond 2012, the total domestic limit for
public aid (EUR 37.5 million) that may be granted to the Group with no
necessity of obtaining the consent of the European Commission will be exhausted
this year. Then, the entitlement of Mondi Swiecie S.A. to be exempt from
corporate income tax under the permit as referred above, would be suspended
till the European Commission procedure is closed. In this situation, the Group
would pay monthly advance payments for corporate income tax in the amount that
disregards the exemption, starting from the month when the allowed domestic
limit was exceeded. Since the Group does not expect that the European
Commission procedure will extend beyond 2012, the full amount of corporate
income tax as covered by the exemption under the permit to run business
activities in the Pomorska Special Economic Zone should be settled within the
corporate income tax for 2012.
New investment project related expenditures are the basis for calculating the
public aid pursuant to the rules specified in s 4 Clause 3 of the Regulation of
the Council of Ministers of 5 December 2006 on the Pomorska Special Economic
Zone (Journal of Laws 2006, no. 228 item 1667). Based on discounted
expenditures incurred until 31 December 2011, Mondi Swiecie S.A. was authorised
to receive public aid that is not higher than PLN 247 853 thousand. The public
aid comprising the exemption of the part of income from the corporate income
tax may be consumed in the period of time over which Mondi Swiecie S.A. shows
the income from the activities covered by the exemption, which is that the
total income of Mondi Swiecie S.A. less taxed income, not covered by the
exemption, is positive. The calculated amount of public aid consumed till 31
December 2011 was PLN 91 802 thousand (this includes discounted amounts of
corporate income tax exemption, real property tax exemption and the amounts of
refunding the costs of equipment and providing equipment to workplaces). Out of
this amount, the discounted value of exemption from corporate income tax was
PLN 83 928 thousand (nominal value of exemption was PLN 104 119 thousand).
Tangible assets
Fixed assets used for production, delivery of goods and services as well as for
administrative purposes are shown in the statement of financial position
according to their purchasing prices or manufacturing costs, less depreciation
deduction in future periods and deduction due to a permanent loss of value.
Depreciation of fixed assets is presented in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Fixed assets under construction are measured in the statement of financial
position at manufactured costs less impairment write-offs. The manufactured
cost is increased by fees and for a specific group of assets - borrowing cost
capitalised according to principles described in the accounting principles.
Depreciation of these fixed assets starts in the month following their
commissioning.
Depreciation is calculated for all fixed assets, excluding land and fixed
assets under construction, using the straight-line method over the estimated
duration of their economic usefulness.
For particular groups of fixed assets, the following operation life periods
were used:
Buildings and structures - from 20 to 60 years
Machines and technical equipment - from 5 to 20 years
Means of transport - from 4 to 6 years
Other fixed assets - from 3 to 10 years
Depreciation rates are established based on assets and intangible assets'
estimated economic useful life. The Company verifies, on an annual basis, the
economic useful life periods based on current estimations.
All incomes or losses resulting from sale/liquidation or discontinued use of
fixed assets are determined as the difference between revenues from the sale of
fixed assets and the net value of those fixed assets, and are shown in the
statement of comprehensive income in the period, when a specific item of fixed
assets was removed from the statement of financial position.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets were measured at the purchase cost, or the cost of
manufacture if they were manufactured by the Company.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives.
Licences
Licences are measured in the statement of financial position at the purchase
cost less depreciation on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives.
Impairment of assets
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the net amounts of its assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
write-off. If the item of fixed assets does not generate cash flows that to a
great extent are independent from flows generated by other assets, the analysis
is made for a group of assets generating cash flows to which the item of assets
belongs.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the value of money in time and the risks specific to the
asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets) is estimated to be
less than its assets net book value, the value is reduced to its recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in cost of the period when
it occurred, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case
the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the net value of asset (or
group of assets) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable
amount, but so that the increased net value does not exceed the net value that
would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised for the
asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in
revenues, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which
case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation reserve.
Inventory
Inventories of finished goods, semi-products are measured at actual cost of
manufacture, not higher than their net sale prices. Manufacturing costs
comprise direct materials and direct labour costs and those overheads that
correspond to the level of such costs under normal use of production
capacities.
The Group adopts a principle of accounting of underutilisation costs of
departments manufacturing finished and semi-finished goods. Underutilisation
cost affects the financial result of the period and is not taken into
consideration in finished and semi-finished goods inventories valuation. In the
case of semi-finished and finished products, the period of underutilisation of
production capacities is a shutdown of a manufacturing department due to a lack
of raw material, lack of orders or other events for longer than 30 calendar
days, irrespective of the cause. If such situations occur, shutdown costs are
calculated as the product of hours of shutdown and unit machine-hour cost of a
shutdown department. In the months of annual maintenance shutdown, finished and
semi-finished products are valued at the manufacturing cost of the previous
month.
The net sale price corresponds to the estimated sale prices minus all necessary
costs to complete the production and necessary costs to effect a sale.
Stocks of materials and goods are shown according to the purchasing prices that
are not higher than the net sale price.
Certificates of green energy origin as goods are valued according to the fair
value, which shall mean the market price at the property market less costs of
sales.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of
financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
Trade receivables and other receivables
Trade receivables as of the date of origin are measured at the current expected
amount due, and are recognised in later periods according to the depreciated
cost fixed using the effective interest rate. Default interest is accounted in
the amount resulting from agreements and is covered by a 100% write off.
Also, prepaid expenses - mainly insurances costs are presented as trade
receivables.
Trade receivables, excluding insured receivables and inter-company receivables,
are adjusted by write offs in the amount of 2% of receivables.
Further,
Overdue receivables > 1 month: 10% of the value less VAT,
Overdue receivables > 3 months: 50% of the value less VAT,
Overdue receivables > 4 months: 100% of the value less VAT.
Additionally, not overdue receivables falling due more than 90 days are
discounted.
Bad receivables are charged to cost when their irrecoverability is stated.
Receivables denominated in the foreign currencies are revaluated using the
average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland as at the balance sheet
day.
Investments in securities
All investments are initially measured at the purchased value equal to fair
value of amounts paid less transaction costs. All standard transactions like
purchase and sale of financial assets are booked as at the purchase or sale
day.
After the initial measurement, the investments are classified as held for
trading, available for sale and measured at the fair value as at balance sheet
date.
If securities were classified as held for trading, gains and losses resulting
from the change of fair values are presented in the statement of comprehensive
income for a given period. In the case of available for sale assets, gains and
losses resulted from the change of their fair value affect directly the equity
till the sale of the assets or impairment identification. Then the accumulated
gains or losses, that previously affected the equity, are moved to the
statement of comprehensive income for the given period.
Bank borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans (also overdrafts) are accounted at the amount of
received withdrawn less the direct costs incurred in connection with the
borrowing of funds.
Financial costs, including provisions paid at a moment of repayment or credit
write-off and direct costs of incurring the credit, are shown in the statement
of comprehensive income using the nominal interest rate method and they
increase the book value of a financial instrument with respect to payments made
in the current period.
Non-current liabilities in books are valuated at nominal value, i.e. including
default interest or valorisation of the payables - at the value regulated in
the agreement.
Trade liabilities and other liabilities
Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are valuated at the average rate
of exchange applicable set by the National Bank of Poland as at the balance
sheet day.
Financial risk management
Business and financial activities of the Group are exposed to a number of
financial risks. If these risks were not managed, they could adversely impact
current and future results of the Group. The Group distinguishes the following
kinds of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk and foreign currency
risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
The principles and procedures used by the Group are presented in "the financial
risk management policy" approved by the Management Board, in compliance with
the policy that is binding in the entire Mondi plc Group.
Based on powers of attorney granted by the Management Board, chosen specialists
from the Group contract hedge transactions. The risk identification, evaluation
and hedging in the Group is strictly supervised by the Group Finance Director
and Treasury Director of Mondi plc Group.
The main purpose of derivatives used by the Group is to hedge against financial
risks arising from the Company's business operations. The Group's instruments
include foreign currency forward contracts (in case of foreign currency risk
hedging).
The main risks arising from the Group's operations are:
Market risk
The Group's activities are primarily exposed to interest rate risk and foreign
currency risk. Both risks are actively monitored on a continuous basis and may
be hedged by hedging (currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps).
Although cash flows of the Group are exposed to a risk for changes in prices of
key raw materials and finished products, such changes reflect rather economical
risk than financial. Therefore, the Group is of the opinion that it is not
significantly exposed to another price risk as specified in IFRS 7.
a)Foreign currency risk
Due to the fact that approximately 67% of sales transactions are performed in
foreign currency, while the most of the costs are borne in the reporting
currency, the Group is exposed to the currency exchange risk. The foreign
currency transactional exposure comprises mainly denominated transactions in
EUR, USD and GBP.
The Group may separately hedge future probable sales transactions and future
probable significant capital expenditures as well as resulting balance
exposure.
The forward contracts that hedge probable future sales transactions and
probable future significant capital expenditures are classified as the cash
flow hedging and hedging accounting rules are used for them. In accordance with
the Mondi Group Policy, in 2011 the Company did not hedge probable sales
(excluding CO2) transactions.
The hedge accounting rules are not used for forward contracts hedging the
balance exposure.
b)Interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to the interest rate risk is primarily related to
financial liabilities on interest. According to Group's policy, interest costs
may be managed through the use of fixed and variable interest rates as well as
interest rate hedging using instruments that replace variable rates with fixed
ones (interest rate swaps). However, as decided by the Management Board of the
Group, all available credit facilities as at the balance sheet date were based
on variable interest rate (WIBOR). Furthermore, in the reporting period the
Group did not use any interest rate hedging instruments.
Credit risk
The Group contracts hedging and located deposits only in recognised,
creditworthy financial institutions. The list of such entities is up-dated on
an annual basis by the Director of the Treasury of the Mondi plc Group.
Credit risk related to receivables is significantly limited thanks to the fact
that the only trade receivables from exports include receivables from Mondi
Packaging Paper Sales GmbH - a distributor being a member of the Mondi plc
Group.
In turn, domestic receivables related to paper sales (excluding receivables in
relation to Polish entities of Mondi plc Group) are hedged. Customers that are
not members of Mondi plc Group are subject to the credit rating verification
procedure using reports from business intelligence agencies. Each limit has a
maximum credit limit and open receivables are monitored on a current basis in
the Group.
Liquidity risk
The Group's objective is to maintain flexibility of funding through the use of
bank credits and bank overdrafts. The Group's policy is to reduce liquidity
risk through maintaining the floating assets provision which constitutes
minimum 5% of annual turn-over of the Group. The floating assets provision
comprises cash and cash equivalents, financial investments that can be
liquidated within 7 days and not used credit facilities.
The derivatives used by the Group are valued according to the fair value. The
fair value of currency forward contracts is determined in relation to the
current forward rates for the contracts with a similar effective date. The
value of contracts for changing interest rates is determined in relation to the
fair value of similar instruments.
In the case of cash flow hedge for the future probable sales contracts or
future probable significant capital expenditures that fulfil the criteria of
hedging accounting, a portion of the profit or loss on the hedging instrument
which is found to be an effective hedging is shown directly in the equity. The
portion that is found to be an ineffective hedge is shown in financial costs or
revenues of the current period. In the case of cash flow hedge for future
probable sales transactions hedging, profits or losses shown in the equity are
transferred to the profit and loss statement in the same period of time when
the hedged probable future sales contract impacts the financial result.
In the case of cash flow hedge for future probable significant capital
expenditures, profits or losses from the valuation are initially shown in the
equity. When the transaction is settled they will be referred to the statement
of financial position thus adjusting the investment project commenced or the
initial value of fixed assets.
Profits and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of the
transactions, for which the hedge accounting is not used, are directly shown in
financial incomes or costs of the current period.
The Group discontinues to use the hedge accounting rules when the hedging
instrument expired or was sold, completed or realised or when hedge does not
fulfill the conditions that allow using the hedging accounting rules for such
an instrument. In such a case, the total profit or loss on the hedging
instrument, which has been shown in the equity to date, is still shown in the
equity until the expected transaction is performed. If such a transaction is
unlikely to occur, then the total net profit or loss as shown in the equity is
transferred to the financial result of the current period.
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or contracts that are not
financial instruments are considered to be separate derivatives if the nature
of the embedded instrument and instrument related risks are not directly
related to the nature of the basic contract and contract resulting risks. If
the basic contracts are not valuated according to the fair value, the changes
to them are reflected in the statement of comprehensive income.
- Capital risk
The Group manages the capital to ensure that the Group's companies will be able
to continue their business with maximising profitability for shareholders
thanks to optimisation of the debt to equity ratio. The Group's capital
structure includes debt that comprises credits, cash and cash equivalents and
capital for parent company shareholders, including issued shares, reserve
capitals and retained profit.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result
of a past event, and when it is probable that due to fulfilment of such an
obligation the Group will be required to outflow the funds representing
economical benefits and if the amount of obligation may be reliably valued.
The value of the provisions is determined based on the estimations, excluding
the provisions for the retirement benefits to which the actuarial method is
applied.
Emission rights
Granted emission rights are shown off balance.
The Group creates provisions for pollution cost, when the amount of possessed
emission allowances does not cover the actual pollution emission. The provision
is calculated based on the current market price plus expected penalty fee and
is presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
Sale of excessive emission allowances is recognised in the financial period,
when the sale of the emission allowances was performed.
Net profit per share
The net profit per share for each period is calculated by dividing the net
profit for a specific period of time by the average weighted number of shares
in the reporting period.
The diluted profit per one share is calculated by dividing the net profit for a
specific period for Shareholders by the average weighted number of shares in a
specific period.
In the reporting period and in 2010 no factors occurred that would result in
profit dilution.
Conditional liabilities and receivables
Conditional liabilities mean the obligation to provide performance/ benefits
the occurrence of which depends on defined events. Conditional liabilities are
not shown in the statement of financial position; however, information on the
conditional liability is disclosed unless the likelihood of outflow of means
representing economic benefits is minor.
Conditional receivables are not shown in the statement of financial position;
however, information on the conditional receivables is disclosed if inflow of
means representing economic benefits is probable to occur.
Management Board estimation
Preparing the financial statements in accordance to IFRS requires some
assumptions and estimates to be made. They impact the amounts shown in the
financial statements and in the notes to the financial statements. Assumptions
and estimations are based on the best knowledge of the Management Board of
present and future events and actions; however, the actual results may differ
from the forecasted performance. The areas where the Management Board made
estimations are provisions. The assumptions used for estimation are described
in the accounting policy and relevant notes.

Foreign currency forward contracts
Although all forward contracts have been bought by the Group to hedge against
foreign exchange risk, the Group does not apply hedge accounting, required by
IAS 39, to all transactions. Hedge accounting principles do not apply to fair
value hedge (non-hedge) for assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currency.
Hedge accounting principles are applied to some transactions qualified as
hedging transactions according to IAS 39. These transactions are used by the
Group to hedge cash flow arising from confirmed planned sales transactions in
foreign currency.
Details of marketable contracts are presented below ("cash flow hedge" and
"non- hedge"):

The fair-value of foreign currency derivatives owned by the Group amounts
approximately to PLN 1 211 thousand /2010: PLN 765 thousand/ as at 31 December
2011. The value has been estimated based on the marketable value of similar
financial instruments valued as at the balance sheet date.
As at 31 December 2011, the Group did not hold any open currency forward
contracts to hedge future sales transactions or future significant capital
expenditures.

The following risks are related to currency forward contracts: interest rate
risk, exchange rate risk and risk of insolvency of the other party to a
transaction. However, credit risk is limited due to the fact that the other
party to the transaction is usually a first class bank. In addition, in order
to minimize risk concentration, the transaction portfolio is diversified.

decreased by revaluation write-offs, estimated by the Company's management
based on past experience and assessment of current economic conditions.
Credit risk related to liquid financial assets and derivative instruments is
limited due to the fact that the other party to the transaction is represented
by banks of high credit rating assigned by international rating agencies.
Credit risk related to receivables is limited due to the fact that a
distribution company of Mondi group is the major customer dealing with export
sales. Further, domestic receivables from customers that are not members of
Mondi are insured. The value of trade receivables insured amounted to PLN 24.5
million as per 31 December 2011.
In the opinion of the Management Board of the Group, the maximum amount exposed
to the credit risk as per 31 December 2011 amounts to PLN 3.5 million and
applies to trade receivables in relation to non-related entities that are not
covered by the receivables insurance.
Security
In accordance with current report no. 4/2011 as of 11 February 2011, the
Company signed a new Three-Year Guarantee Facility Agreement that covers the
nine-year credit from the European Investment Bank.
At the time the afore-said Facility Agreement became effective, the existing
Three-Year Guarantee Facility Agreement as of 30 June 2008 (annexed on 30
October 2009, 30 June 2010 and 30 September 2010) was terminated. As a
consequence of the above changes, the security of the bank guarantee comprising
the corporate guarantee that was issued by Mondi Group plc, a major shareholder
of the Company, for the benefit of financing banks expired. The Corporate
Guarantee Agreement entered into and between the Company and Mondi plc was
terminated accordingly.
Overdue financial assets
As per the reporting date, the Group owned neither overdue financial assets nor
items for which the loss of value has been recognised.

Evaluation of exchange risk and interest rates
For risk assessment purposes, the analysis of impacts of interest rates and
changes in exchange rates of foreign currencies on the statement of
comprehensive income and equity (revaluation reserve) was presented. The
analysis covers financial components of the Group's balance sheet (table
below).
Comments on methodology and assumptions
The Group owns assets and liabilities nominated in foreign currencies.
The present significant variability of exchange rates as well as market
expectations and forecasts indicate that fluctuations of +/- 10% in PLN
exchange rate to foreign currencies and a change of interest rate by +/-50 pb
is possible.

Interest rate risk
As at 31 December 2011 the Group's net profit would increase by PLN 285
thousand if interest rates in PLN and EUR were higher by 50 base points,
assuming that all other parameters remained unchanged. This is due to the fact
that loans significantly exceed financial assets (cash and cash equivalents)
owned. Loans are nominated primarily in PLN, so the impact of Polish interest
rates is a determining factor.
Exchange rate risk
As at 31 December 2011 the Group's net profit would be lower by PLN 62 thousand
if PLN strengthened by 10% in relation to foreign currencies (mainly EUR) and
other factors remained unchanged. Such a minor influence (when compared to the
Group's overall business) is related to our consistent hedging policy - losses
caused by lower valuation of receivables would be compensated by valuation of
forward transactions and liabilities nominated in foreign currencies and being
a component of the balance sheet.
Management of foreign currency risk
The Group performs defined transactions nominated in foreign currencies
(approx. 65% of total revenues from sales are in EUR and USD). For this reason,
there is a risk of fluctuations in exchange rates for the above-mentioned
currencies. The management of foreign currency risk is effected according to
the Mondi Group Rules, using foreign currency forward contracts.
The balance value of the Group's forward contracts as well credits and deposits
denominated in foreign currencies as per the balance sheet date is as follows:

Other capital instrument payment programmes
In 2007, following the demerger, the Mondi Group established the new bonus
programme (Mondi Bonus Share Plan- BSP and Mondi Long Term Incentive Plan -
MLTIP) for selected Mondi Group employees, including Mondi Swiecie S.A.
Management Board Members. Under such programmes, employees are granted bonus -
shares. The bonus amount depends on performance by the Group and individual
objectives (BS). In addition, for ensuring a continuous Group growth additional
shares are given, that may be cashed after specified conditions, in particular
those related to the EPS growth over next 3 years after their receipt are
fulfilled (MLTIP).
In connection to the above-mentioned programmes, the amount of PLN 691 thousand
was charged to Mondi Swiecie S.A. in 2011. In case the right to shares expires
or is lost by individual members of the programme, Mondi Swiecie S.A. will be
entitled to have the costs incurred reimbursed partially or wholly. Once the
right to have shares available is received, the relevant income will be
separately shown for each Member of the Management Board.

applies.
Assumptions regarding death and illness rates were based on the Central
Statistical Office publications (death data PTTZ 2010, Statistical yearbook and
other publications on status and changes to employment in the economy). The
following assumptions were made: the future increase in salaries and wages of
3.0%, average inflation rate of 2.5%, and the discount rate for future
liabilities of 5.75%.
28. EQUITY
The equity is established in accordance with the law, adequate acts and the
statute. The equity consists of: share capital, supplementary capital,

started to use the International Financial Reporting Standards, i.e. 1 January
2004.
