Auditors' Report on the Financial Statements Of AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OFOF ZWACKZWACK UNICUMUNICUM CO.CO. LTD.LTD. 24 REPORT ON THE BUSINESS ACTIVITY OF 2001 The year 2001 was successful, and the plans of the Zwack Unicum Group were fulfilled. We focused our attention on strengthening the position of our brands in markets at home and abroad, on customer relations and further improving the cost efficiency of our operation. The gross sales of the Group amounted to HUF 26.2 billion, 16% higher than in the previous year. Profit before taxation stood at HUF 2.44 billion, 2% above the plan target. (It was behind that of the previous year by 10.4%.) For the main financial figures of the Group, see the table below.

It was due mainly to the higher sale of low-priced com- modities, and that also contradicted to previous trend. The market of higher-priced premium products also expanded yet to a smaller degree than in former years. The fact that black market activities fell back – which in part caused the growth of sales of com- modities – had a favourable impact on the spirits industry. But the black market still controlled about a quarter of the entire spirits market. Favourable changes in the overall economic environment, as the increase in real incomes, did not bring about a tangible increase in demand for spirits. Concentration continued among companies that sell spirits. The supermarkets dynamically increased their market share, and concentration continued among Hungarian-owned wholesaler groups of alcoholic drinks. During 2001 the own-label products of multiple stores gained an even greater share in the sale of commodities. The number of legal rivals has practically remained unchanged: there continues to be about a hun- dred enterprises that produce spirits. Domestic companies that sell imported brands and those dis- tributing their own products continued their media and point-of-sale activities with unchanged intensity. The dominant majority of our rivals sought to retain their market position in the premium 25 brand and the commodity categories by resorting to discounts and granting retrospective reimbursements for retailers. In addition, some of our legal competitors applied a technique that can hardly be considered legal: they attempted to increase their market share by appearing in the market with replica products that copy major international and domestic products. We consider such conduct as misleading the consumer. Price competition among the distributive firms and the growing market share of own-label products of supermarkets, which are sold at cut-rate prices, have considerably reduced the profitability of the commodity segment. The market position of the Zwack Unicum Co. Ltd. further strengthened. Our Company retained its position among pre- mium brands, realized a slight increase among quality products, and considerable expanded its market share in the commodity segment. Unicum, which is Hungary’s best known and highest rated brand of spirits, has a firm hold as market leader in the market of both the digestives and premium brands. Throughout the year Unicum received a marketing support that was worthy of its weight in the market. During 2001, as in previous years, it was the most forcefully supported brand in the Hungarian spirits market. The year 2001 was outstanding for Unicum in terms of promotional events. Consumer response was excellent to value-added activities, such as Bonbonicum, timed for the Easter season, the pocket flask that appeared during summer, the new member of the gift box line and the olden-looking bottle, both being introduced before Christmas. As for the other own-produced branded products, promotional activities continued to focus on Vilmos, St. Hubertus and Kalinka. Vilmos managed considerably to overfulfil our ambitious yearly plan, while Kalinka and St. Hubertus performed as planned. During the year new commercials came out both for Vilmos and Kalinka. Both commercials did better than their earlier counterparts, as borne out by a consumer research survey carried out in the target group in terms of advertisement awareness and approval ratings. In the course of 2001 St. Hubertus either relied on its highly popular television commercial or used its shorter version, which encouraged consumers to drink it with ice. As a result of that commercial, a larger number of young people than ever before tasted St. Hubertus on ice. By successfully sponsoring college and university events, St. Hubertus managed to consolidate its position among young people, who form the future basis of its consumers. Just as in former years, during 2001 our Company fulfilled its obligations assumed towards our minority co-owner, Guinness UDV. The leading brands of the import portfolio, Johnnie Walker whisky, Baileys cream liqueur, Smirnoff vodka, Hennessy cognac and Gordon’s gin retained their market share. During the final days of the year we began the sale of Guinness UDV’s new brands: Captain Morgan rum, Crown Royal and 7 Crown whisky. In 2001, as before, the search for new market opportunities continued to be central components of our marketing activity. Accordingly, we were active in refining existing and introducing new products. Mention should be made here of the Smash line of products that has brought the cooler type of drinks to Hungary, the whisky and capuccino members of the Sissi cream liqueur range, the herbal liqueur Pannonhalmi Szt. Márton (St. Martin of Pannonhalma), and Szt. György (St. George) digestive. Our other new products include Dessert Amaretto and Éva Bianco. In the field of product development, there were to outstanding events: the outer appearance of Lánchíd, which has a very strong brand awareness, has been refined and complemented with a De Luxe version, and the Óbester line has been renewed both in form and content. The sales of our wine division by far exceeded those of the previous year. The Company’s assortment has been augmented with wines of the Malatinszky Mansion, Montevino and Vylyan Wineries, the Eger wines of Tibor Gál, kosher wines and several imported wines. OUTSTANDING EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF THE COMPANY The year 2001 was full of noteworthy events. Our Company was the first in the spirits industry to issue an Environmental Report, which was well received by trade observers. In April we could announce to the participants in the Annual General Meeting that the Company’s shares had been replaced to the category “A”. In spring 2001 an agreement was signed in Italy under which the production of Unicum terminated in Italy and the Italian market will be supplied with that drink with Unicum produced in Hungary. 26 Our Company and the three other members of the Hungaricum Club – Herend Porcelain Manufactory Ltd., Pick Co. Ltd. and Tokaj Trading House – organized a conference in Szeged. (Hungaricum Club was formed in 2000.) The conference discussed various aspects of the value of branded products and the preservation of national identity at a time when Hungary is on the threshold of acceding to the European Union. We were organizers of, or participants in, numerous events whose traditions and prestige are worthy of our Company’s reputation. Our Unicum concerts with the Budapest Festival Orchestra were highly successful. The Opera Ball was held for the sixth time. Our Company was one of its sponsors and its exclusive supplier of drinks. By now the Opera Ball has become the most prestigious event of the ball season in Hungary. In 2001 a Unicum Gala tournament was held instead of the Unicum Cup tournament. The Hungarian national team played with the team of the Rest of the World, and the rare event attracted a capacity crowd to the bleachers of the Alfréd Hajós swimming pool. The photo exhibition that we organized about the world of Unicum was well received among the visitors. In 2001 the Family Sports Day was held in the Csillebérc youth camp in the Buda Hills. Our staff members and their family members could do sports and other leisure pursuits under ideal conditions. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND OPERATION Cost control was careful and efficient throughout 2001 as in previous years. Distribution and marketing continued to be in the focus of the Company’s operation. During the year we reorganized our team of sales executives. As from autumn, the sales represen- tatives who work in the various sales channels have a higher degree of autonomy in making local decisions and have received joint territorial responsibility. The favourable effects of the new regime could already be felt during the Christmas season. The financial position of the Company is firm. No credit was raised during most of the year even though dividend of HUF 1.5 billion was distributed to shareholders. Capital expenditure amounted to HUF 671 million.

  • Dear Shareholders!
    Dear Shareholders! It is a great pleasure for me that I can share with you again the results of a truly successful business year: sales volumes of our flagship brand, Unicum, increased yet again, our Hubertus brand continued its march forward, our Fütyülős brand maintained its good market position and, besides all these, the international brands marketed by the Company can also boast a considerable increase. Perhaps the most important event in the life of Zwack Unicum last year was the January 2017 debut of Unicum Riserva which was the first innovation not only in Hungary, but also in Europe, to enter the super-premium herb liqueur mar- ket. This very special brand owes its unique taste to the „double barrel” ageing process: Unicum, which serves as its base, is aged in the biggest and oldest - over 80 years old - cask in the cellars in Soroksári street. This is followed by the ageing in barrels from the cellars of Tokaj. Unicum Riserva was introduced to representatives of the spirits market and the press with the help of our master distillers during our renewed mentor programs, meeting with a huge success. The main theme of summer 2017 was water and water sports. In line with that, we presented a very special life story which can serve as an example for all those who are looking for motivation in order to achieve their goals. Swimmer Tamas Sors, multiple paralympic world and European champion, is a living proof of how much we can achieve by a positive attitude, dedication and hard work. No summer passes by without festivals and Unicum.

  • Just Amaro Or What Else? Herb Based Amari Stand in the Breach Again
    Just amaro or what else? Herb based amari stand in the breach again Herb based liqueurs and bitters date back to the age of the early conventual pharmacies. Some of them, with time, have become world famous classics. And now they come back to fashion in bars. By Erhard Ruthner After a good meal a “drop” is compulsory: an ancient wisdom of our grandfathers that still finds its followers, even if the digestive effect of alcohol is not proved in medicine, but rather it is part of everlasting legends. What on the contrary is universally known is the relaxing effect that herbs have on the gastrointestinal part; it’s no wonder, therefore, that herb based liqueurs and amari have an ancient history. It is the case of the hospital of Salerno, the forerunner of the first pharmaceutical shops. But also the Benedictine monks of Montecassino had known the secrets of the processing of herbs to produce tinctures and liqueurs since the origins. Many liqueurs produced and requested still today really have their roots in the pharmacies of the monasteries: from France the Bénédectine and the Chartreuse, from Italy Averna and from Germany the elixirs of the distillery of Andechs. But even later it was the pharmacists that opened the way – in particularly in Northern Italy at the beginning of the nineteenth century – to the golden age of herbs among drink makers: names as Ausano Ramazzotti, Gaspare Campari, Maria Branca, Francesco Peloni (Bràulio) or even Benedetto Carpano, who was the creator of vermouth with his idea of flavoring wine. Also Johann Becher and József Max Zwack started to commercialize the recipes of their families in Austria-Hungary, and still today Becherovka and Unicum are considered typical national drinks in the Check Republic and Hungary.

  • Dear Shareholders, I Am Happy to Share with You That 2016 Was Another Truly Successful Year for Zwack Unicum Plc
    Dear Shareholders, I am happy to share with you that 2016 was another truly successful year for Zwack Unicum Plc. This is due to the fact that our premium brands once again enjoyed a highly positive year, the sales figures of Unicum and Unicum Plum in- creased, and our Kalinka, as well as Hubertus brands were also very profitable. Last year our product portfolio was also enriched by Kalinka Gold, Kalinka’s premium variant, which we started to market before the end of the year through our top gastronomy and retail partners. Our Fütyülős product family has also contributed to our success with its excel- lent performance in top retail channels. We are proud that our marketing activities and communication campaigns proved to be exceptionally successful not only regarding their impact, but also from the professional point of view. The best proof of this are the recognition we were accorded by professionals in the advertising industry. Seven of the campaigns launched by us were rated among the top three at the most prestigious competitions like the Arany Penge creative contest, the Effie Awards for advertising effectiveness, the Prism PR contest, and the Lollipop advertising contest. Several of our projects finished in the best three. We received, among others, the Arany Penge, Effie, Silver Lollipop and Gold Prism awards. We pay growing attention to dig- italization, be it about a novel method of communication, or an internal information flow. Maintaining our traditions, it is important for us to support as many positive initiatives in Hungary as possible. We are permanent sponsors of the Children’s Clinic of Tűzoltó street which, due to our support in 2016 was able to acquire three important surgical instruments.

    ‘BOOZE TRAVELER’ EPISODIC DESCRIPTIONS (5 of 16) New Episodes Every Monday at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT Episodes listed alphabetically “Finland: Sisu, Sauna, And The Midnight Sun” Host Jack Maxwell learns that once booze starts flowing, the famously reserved and introverted Finns let their inner Vikings roar to life. Whether he’s shredding with the air guitar champion of the world, herding reindeer in Lapland, slogging through a game of swamp soccer or broiling in a mobile sauna with three naked Finns, he is determined to find the method to Finland’s drinking madness. He’ll taste lonkero, the gin and juice cocktail in a can invented in the 1950s by the government to fuel up athletes; terva snapsi, a liqueur made of pine tar; isokari sours flavored with sea buckthorn, a cross between cranberry juice and battery acid, but packed with Vitamin C; and laku, a do-it-yourself mix of vodka, licorice and salt. “Greece: The Morning After” Season Two Premiere Airs Monday, September 28, 2015 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT Maxwell steps into ancient history as he explores Greece, a nation that’s using its traditions to help navigate itself through an uncertain time. While traveling this Mediterranean landscape, he participates in a mountainside sheep blessing; crashes a bachelor party fueled by ouzo, the country’s national drink; enjoys a traditional honey wine, enormelo; and meets three innovative Athenians who have used three classic Greek liquors to create a new spirit. “Hungary: Aliens, Soviets, and Gypsies” Maxwell jumpstarts his journey through Hungary with shots of pálinka, a typical rural wake up call of 100-proof homemade fruit brandy.
