Domestic products (including purchases from third party importers of international alcoholic beverages)

Our distribution agreements with domestic spirit and wine producers are generally for one year terms with automatic one-year renewal provisions. These agreements may be terminated for convenience by either party upon one month’s prior written notice. Our spirits suppliers based in Poland generally extend us credit for a period of 50 to 70 days; however, we purchase a significant portion of our inventory on a cash on delivery (COD) basis because of the significant discount offered to us by them if we pay COD. Our main suppliers of domestically purchased spirits include Polmos Lublin S.A., Polmos Bielsko Biala, Brown-Forman sp. z o.o, Diageo and V&S Luksusowa Zielona Góra S.A.

Our distribution agreements with domestic beer suppliers generally have a minimum purchase requirement and are for terms of one to five years with automatic renewal provisions. These agreements also provide that the agreement may be terminated at the end of the applicable term upon prior written notice. Our domestic beer suppliers extend us credit for a period of 14 to 35 days. Our main suppliers of beer include: Grupa Zywiec S.A., Kompania Piwowarska S.A. and Carlsberg Polska S.A.

Based on these arrangements we buy alcoholic beverages produced or imported by third parties, with a view towards distribution to on-trade and off-trade customers. For this service we charge our customers a margin, which constitutes our gross profit. We typically bear the entire economic risk associated with selling third party products to our clients, but in certain situations, such as quality problems, lack of agreed-to marketing support, product recall or discontinuation, we reserve the right to return unsold products to their producers and importers.

We do not believe that we are dependant on any supplier in our distribution activities.
