Through its expansion into the Eastern and South-eastern
European region, the company operates in markets that have
been experiencing political and economic change. This
circumstance has affected, and may continue to affect, the
activities of enterprises operating in this environment.
Consequently, operations in the Eastern and South-eastern
European region involve uncertainties, including tax
uncertainties and risks related to foreign exchange rates
that typically do not exist in other markets.
