In 2017 the Group forecasts revenue growth and modest positive cash flow from operating activities. No substantial investments projects and investments in fixed assets are planned for the next year. The Group is negotiating a bank loan's refinancing and rescheduling. Given that the existing bank borrowings are secured by the pledge of all Group's assets, as well as AS Skinest Rail financial guaranty it is reasonably confident that an agreement will be reached.
