KEMIRA GROUP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The figures are audited.

 

 

All figures in this financial report have been rounded and consequently the

 

 

sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Financial Statement has been prepared in compliance

 

 

with IFRS standards. Kemira Group has corrected a previous year error in

 

 

 

accordance with IAS 8. The nature of the error is described in the end

 

 

 

of the report.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Changes to the accounting policies as of January 1, 2007:

 

 

 

 

- IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) has been

 

 

 

 

adopted by the Group in 2007

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Revised IAS 1 (Disclosures about capital) has been

 

 

 

 

adopted by the Group in 2007

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Group assesses that the adoption of the revised standards will not

 

 

 

have any material effect on its future financial statements. However, the

 

 

 

resulting changes will add disclosures to the Financial Statements.

In connection with the strategic review process, it was decided to classify the assets and liabilities of strategic business unit Chemidet as assets held for sale. The strategic business unit belongs to Kemira Specialty Business Area. There are negotiations on going for disposal. The loss recognised in the income statement amounts to EUR 9.2 million.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The non-current assets held for sale includes also a land area in Porkkala Finland. The sale contract was signed in 2007 but the ownership of the land will transfer in 2008.

Litigation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Group has extensive international operations and

 

 

 

 

is involved in a number of legal proceedings incidental to these operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kemira Oyj, Kemira Chemicals, Inc. and Kemira Chemicals Canada, Inc. have received claims or were named in class action lawsuits filed by direct and indirect purchasers of hydrogen peroxide and persalts in US federal and state courts and in Canada. In these civil actions it is alleged that the US plaintiffs suffered damages resulting from a cartel among hydrogen peroxide suppliers. To avoid further litigation costs Kemira Oyj and Kemira Chemicals Inc. have made a settlement agreement, pending court approval, in the US direct purchaser class action. As regards the other claims and suits, the proceedings continue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finnish Chemicals Oy has received in August 2007 from the European Union Comission a statement of objections in respect to competition law infringements by sodium chlorate producers during 1994-2000 to which statement of objections Finnish Chemicals Oy has given its reply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RELATED PARTY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Related party transactions have decreased due to the sale of Kemira's 50 % stake in Swedish filler producer Scanspac (joint venture) in September 2007. Transactions with Scanspac represented about 80 % of the Group's related party transactions. Other than that the related party transactions have not changed materially after annual closing 2006.

The fair values of the instruments which are publicly traded

 

 

 

 

are based on market valuation on the date of reporting. Other instruments

 

 

 

have been valuated based on net present values of future cash flows.

 

 

 

Valuation models have been used to estimate the fair values of options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nominal values of the financial instruments do not necessarily

 

 

 

 

correspond to the actual cash flows between the counterparties and

 

 

 

do not therefore give a fair view of the risk position of the Group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cytec water treatment business

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kemira acquired the Cytec Industries, Inc.'s water treating and acryl amide business on October 1, 2006. Cytec's water treatment business consists of water treatment solutions for industrial and municipal water treatment plants. The acquisition includes five production plants of which three are located in the US (Mobile/Alabama, Longview/Washington, and Fortier/Louisiana), and two in Europe (Bradford /UK and Botlek/the Netherlands).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The acquisition of Cytec's water treatment chemicals business is in line with Kemira's growth strategy. It also allows the Group to significantly broaden its current product portfolio and gain greater geographical presence in key markets and inside key customer segments. The acquired business' market regions include the US, South America, Asia and Europe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The total price of the acquisition is approx. EUR 198.5 million. The acquisition was financed with Kemira Group's own existing financing agreements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to the purchase of the business through the asset purchase agreement which was closed October 1, 2006, Kemira signed a share purchase agreement to buy the shares of Cytec Manufacturing BV. The closing and payment of the share purchase agreement took place on January 11, 2007. Kemira has also signed transition service agreements with nine Cytec companies concerning certain transactional services with respect of the products of the business (Overseas units). The assets related to these transition service agreements was transferred to Kemira and paid gradually starting on April 1, 2007. One of these asset transfers was in the form of a share purchase of an existing company.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The control over the whole Cytec water treatment business was transferred to Kemira on October 1, 2006. The preliminary purchase price allocation was pending finalization of overseas units, working capital and liabilities. These matters have been finalized since then, resulting in an increase of goodwill mainly from indentified defined benefit pensions according to IAS 19.

The Dalquim coagulant business

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kemira acquired on April 20, 2007 100% of the shares of two companies (Empresa Lajeana Ltda. & Arapoti Saneamento Ltda.) conducting the coagulant business of Dalquim Industria e Comercio Ltda. Dalquim is one of the leading manufacturers of aluminum based coagulants in the South of Brazil. The revenue of the coagulant business is approximately EUR 12 million.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The target companies are located in the south of Brazil and have two production units. Main customer base is the paper industry and municipalities for potable and wastewater treatment. The company will be targeting the fast expanding paper industry and potable and waste water treatment sector in the Southern states of Brazil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The acquisition fits extremely well in Kemira's strategy to enhance its position and mutual synergies as a world leader in chemicals supply for both pulp&paper and water treatment customers on fast growing emerging markets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kemira Water is already present with production in the Bahia region (North East of Brazil) and in the Sao Paulo state. With this acquisition Kemira will significantly broaden its current product portfolio in Brazil and gain strong geographical presence in the southern Brazilian market.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The total price of the acquisition is approx. EUR 10.8 million. Capitalized acquisition costs directly attributable to the combination has not yet been finalized. The acquisition was financed with Kemira Group's own existing financing agreements.
