INVESTMENT IN SHARES Investment in shares has displayed a strong tendency to grow for the last 5 years. The largest leaps were detected in 1997 and 1999. A slight deviation from this tendency was noticed only in 1998. Investments in shares made by residents expanded continuously and prevailed over those of non-residents. Only in 2000 did the investments of non-residents exceed those made by residents in terms of both relative and absolute quantity. Private companies predominated among the investors – residents. Their share, however, was constantly decreasing. A sharp boost was observed in investment in shares carried out by Investment companies, while investment in shares made by public companies has been augmented slightly but steadily. Banks and financial intermediaries preferred investment in Government securities as considered being more liquid and attractive. Such investments were not large, moreover their percentage has maintained a tendency to decrease. Investors from two countries – the USA and Sweden – have predominated among investors – non-residents for the last five years. Initially the investors from the USA and Great Britain and/or securities custodians accounted for the largest investments, while starting from 1999, when SEB came to Lithuania, Scandinavians have been playing the main role among non-residents. The highest leaps in investments of non-residents were noticed in 1997 and 2000. A considerable contribution (about LTL 350 m) to the growth of the percentage ascribed to Swedish investors was made by the buy-out of the shares of Vilniaus Bankas AB executed by the Swedish bank SEB by means of an official tender offer.

The industry of oil products is one of the biggest sub-sectors of the manufacturing industry. In 2000, it was in the second place by production sales as well as by export volumes. The food industry was in first place by production sales and the light industry – by export volumes. The unsteady supply of raw materials from the East to Maþeikiø Nafta AB (Maþeikiai Oil Refinery) of late years was the main reason for the poor operating results of the oil products industry. Unfortunately, there were no positive changes in 2000. The growth of the oil prices on world markets and a general recession of the Lithuanian economy resulting in lower consumption of oil products as well as interrupted supplying of oil - all of which had a considerable influence on activities of Maþeikiø Nafta AB. Maþeikiø Nafta AB processed only about 5 million tons of crude oil and other raw materials in 2000, i.e. utilised less than 50% of its production capacity. Although the production sales of the refinery in 2000 were considerably higher than in 1999 due to a surge in the prices of oil, the total production sales of the industry at constant prices fell by 7.5%. It is worth mentioning that the operating results of the refinery in 1999 were the poorest over several recent years. The losses of Maþeikiø Nafta AB suffered in 2000 disappointed the Government of Lithuania. Based on the USA Accounting Principles, the losses amounted to LTL 179 million in 2000 (LTL 159 million in 1999). The negotiations between supreme Lithuanian authorities and Russian giant Lukoil on the long term crude oil supply had no appreciable results. Lukoil agrees to permanently supply crude oil only if it acquires the share stake and control of Maþeikiø Nafta AB. Nevertheless, the situation in Maþeikiø Nafta AB is not hopeless. Last year the refinery’s operational results slightly improved, while losses rose mainly due to increased interest Guide to Listed Companies payments (from LTL 73 million in 1999 up to LTL 187 million in 2000) and expenditures on the overhaul of the company. The refinery’s governing body expects profits in 2002 and 2000 does not reject the possibility of gaining some profits this year. The company is negotiating very intensively not only with Lukoil but also with Yukos, TNK, Surgutneftegaz and other Russian and Kazakhstan’s oil extraction enterprises on the long term crude oil supply.

This sector increased its production sales at both current and constant prices by more than 20% in 2000. However, the two largest companies of the chemistry industry – Dirbtinis Pluoðtas AB (the number of workers accounts for 2 thousand) and Lifosa AB (the number of workers - 1.4 thousand) – suffered LTL 41 million and LTL 96 million losses respectively. Dirbtinis Pluoðtas AB, producer of acetate threads, sells 95% of its output in Europe, where its market share reaches 35%. However, the prices of acetate threads had decreased in Western markets and this led to losses of Dirbtinis Pluoðtas AB in 2000. Similarly, the main reason of Lifosa AB losses was a decrease in the prices of phosphorus fertilisers in international markets. The company was not operating more than one month in the beginning of this year. Nevertheless, Lifosa AB expects to improve its activities by constructing an export-import terminal in the Klaipëda seaport, which allows diminishing transportation costs. For that purpose the company is going to mortgage all its assets and take USD 60 million loan from the EBRD. The operational results of Achema AB, giant producer of nitrogenous fertilisers, in 2000 were quite satisfactory. According to provisional data, its turnover and profits rose last year. The EU Commission officially closed the dumping case against Achema AB and this worked at company’s competitive advantage in Europe. The company received the ISO 14001 certificate, expands production capacity and even considers building its own electric power station. Pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries demonstrated the sustainable growth in 2000 and are likely to speed up this year. Sanitas AB, largest pharmaceutical company of Lithuania, was operating profitably and increased its production sales by 32.2%.

This year the company expects to augment its production sales by 45% and to earn Guide to Listed Companies LTL 1.4 million net profits. Furthermore, the company plans to invest LTL 26.8 million

during 2001-2004. 2000 Fermentas AB, which in 1999 and 2000 earned LTL 4.5 million net profits each year, together with German pharmaceutical company Mologen GmbH are going to build a ferments’ research and diagnostic centre next to the Biotechnos plant that was completed in Vilnius last year. This project’s investments will amount to USD 15 million. Fermentas AB controls a 5% market share in the world production of ferments used in gene engineering.

The industry of other non-metallic mineral products is closely related to the sector of construction that during 1998-2000 experienced severe difficulties. Furthermore, companies of the industry were facing an ever-increasing competition from both western and eastern countries. Not surprisingly, over recent years, the turnover of the industry has been gradually shrinking (with the exception of the year 1998, when there was a slight increase). Its sales share within the total output of mining and manufacturing industry has declined as well. During January-November 2000, production sales at constant prices dropped by 3.0%, as compared to the same period a year ago.The turnover of production at current prices fell even more due to decelerating prices of non-metallic mineral products. The industry is among those with the lowest exports, though in 2000 its share of exports in total production sales slightly increased and accounted for about one third. During each of the three-quarters of 2000, the financial result of all companies in the industry was negative; losses were LTL 38.8 million. Akmenës Cementas AB – the largest company of the industry – was operating at a loss in 2000, its losses amounted too LTL 11.8 million. Production sales were LTL 89 million, or 20.8% less than during the same period of 1999. Dvarèioniø Keramika AB was doing much better; during January-September 2000, its turnover increased by 12.7%, and production sales totalled LTL 45.7 million. Despite the difficulties faced by the company (a landslide ruined the warehouse full of products), it sustained no losses per each of the four-quarters, but at the end of the year suffered a loss of LTL 7.6m. Vilniaus Stiklo Studija UAB, a company that four years ago replaced Vilniaus Stiklas

According to the data of State Insurance Supervision Authority, out of 29 insurance companies operating in Lithuania, at the end of the previous year 18 reported profit. In 2000, the total net profit of all operating insurance companies amounted to just LTL 14.76 million. The value of contracts concluded by life-insurance companies in direct insurance business increased by 2.7%, and the net profit stood at LTL 1.69 million. The value of contracts concluded by non-life insurance companies in direct insurance business augmented by 8.6%, while the net profit reached LTL 16.07 million. Comparatively low profit resulted from investments into development of the sales network, new information technologies related to approaching introduction of the mandatory motor third party liability insurance, weak mutual co-operation of insurance companies since greater part of reinsurance premiums (even those of low risk) fell to foreign reinsurers, and intensifying competition among insurance companies. Market experts emphasise the fact that in 2000 short term assets of insurance companies decreased from LTL 522 million to LTL 395 million. Nevertheless, they still exceed short term liabilities, which also fell by LTL 8 million. It is anticipated that insurance services should increase.
