AS HONORARY PRESIDENT OF ZWACK UNICUM PLC. AND ALSO AS A FATHER, I AM PROUD OF THE RESULTS THAT THE COMPANY HAS ATTAINED IN THE LAST YEAR UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MY SON, SÁNDOR, AND I AM MORE THAN EVER CONVINCED THAT I MADE A WISE DECISION HANDING OVER THE HELM OF THE COMPANY TO THE NEXT GENERATION, WITH TWO OF MY CHILDREN NOW ON THE BOARD. ASACOMPANY, WE HAVE TOGETHER ACHIEVED A NUMBER OF GOALS WHICH HITHERTO WERE ONLY ON THE DRAWING BOARD. OUR FIRST SUSTAINABILITY REPORT WAS ISSUED THIS YEAR, INCORPORATING THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF OUR COMPANY VALUES AND OPERATIONS, WHICH AT THE SAME TIME POINTS THE WAY TO FUTURE SUCCESS WITHIN A FRAMEWORK OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE ALSO RECEIVED THE "GREEN OFFICE" AWARD BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ONLY A MARKET LEADER IN THE FIELD OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, BUT ARE ALSO FULLY AWARE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. OUR NEW BRANDS ARE PRODUCED INVOLVING THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE ENVIRON- MENTAL IMPACT. AT THE SAME TIME, THANKS TO OUR WELL-CONCEIVED BRAND BUILDING STRATEGIES, WE WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT RESULTS ON THE AMERICAN, GERMAN AND ROMANIAN EXPORT MARKETS. I AM PARTICULARLY HAPPY ABOUT OUR EXPANSION ONTO THE UNITED STATES MARKET AND THE POSITIVE REACTION OF ZWACK LIQUEUR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC AS THIS IS LIKE A LONG-CHERISHED DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME WHICH I WOULD DEARLY LOVE MY FATHER TO BE HERE TO SHARE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY DAUGHTER, IZABELLA, FOR THE WORK SHE HAS PUT INTO THIS PROJECT, PERSONALLY SUPERVISING OUR INTRODUCTION ON THE AMERICAN MARKET FROM THE VERY FIRST TENTATIVE STEPS. SHE WAS ABLE TO DO THIS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME STEERING OUR COMPANY TOWARDS A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE IN THE WORLD OF WINE. ALL IN ALL, I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT ZWACK UNICUM PLC. AND THE ZWACK BRANDS ARE TODAY IN GOOD HANDS. I AM CONFIDENT THAT THIS SUCCESSFUL WORK WILL CONTINUE IN THE COMPANY SPIRIT OF TRADITION SIDE BY SIDE WITH DYNAMIC INNOVATION. WHEN I TOOK OVER THE HELM FROM MY FATHER A YEAR AGO, I KNEW THAT 2009 WOULD BE A MILESTONE – NOT ONLY IN MY LIFE, BUT ALSO IN THE LIFE OF ZWACK UNICUM PLC. THE ECONOMIC CRISIS SWEEPING THE WORLD MEANS A CHALLENGE IN OUR LIVES WHICH NO ONE HAD FORESEEN. INVARIABLY, WE CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON OUR PREMIUM BRANDS AND EXPORT ACTIVITIES, WHERE THE RESULTS ON THE AMERICAN, GERMAN AND ROMANIAN MARKETS PROVE THAT WE HAVE TAKEN THE CORRECT ACTIONS. AT THE SAME TIME, AS THE AMBASSADOR OF PÁLINKA, I CAN GLADLY REPORT ON THE SUCCESSES WE HAVE ACHIEVED AT ACCLAIMED WORLD COMPETITIONS WHERE WE HAVE PROVEN THAT QUALITY HUNGARIAN PÁLINKAS BELONG AMONG THE RANKS OF WORLD CLASS PRODUCTS. IN TERMS OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION, WE HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH NEW FLAVOURS AND LAUNCHED NEW BRANDS ON THE HUNGARIAN MARKET WITH GREAT SUCCESS. IN ADDITION TO BRAND BUILDING, WE HAVE ALSO INVESTED IN PRODUCTION. THE UNICUM PRODUCT FAMILY CAN BE FOUND ON STORE SHELVES WITH A NEW PACKAGING. INVESTMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FORMS OF ANY REAL "HUNGARICUM", STRENGTHENING THE CHARACTER OF THE INTERNATIONAL PREMIUM BRAND, UNICUM. AND WHAT'S NEXT? AS A PROGRESSIVE, MODERN COMPANY, WE KNOW THAT INNOVATION AND THE CONTINUOUS REALIZATION OF NEW IDEAS ARE KEY TO LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND THE PRESERVATION OF OUR LEADING MARKET POSITION. 3 DECLARATION We, the undersigned Zwack Unicum Liqueur Industry and Trading Public Limited Company, hereby declare that the facts and statements contained in the Annual Report covering the Company's business year of 2008-2009 (1 April 2008 - 31 March 2009) are true in all respects, and that the Annual Report does not hide any fact that is of importance in assessing the situation of the Company.
