EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The present feasibility study has been performed in order to determine viability of the concept of creation of the industrial park on the area of 28 ha on the territory of „CAAN” JSC (Company with private capital, 100%) of Straseni, resident town of Straseni district, situated in the Central Development Region (hereinafter CDR) of the Republic of Moldova, at the distance of 23 km from its capital - Chisinau municipality.

The analysis of the region’s potential determined the presence of resources available for the development of industrial activities within the park from the point of view of sectoral development of economy in the region as well as of the directions of specialization of enterprises currently existing on the territory of „CAAN” JSC.

Thus, the regional potential supporting the industrial park creation is focused on: business sector of the district mostly consisted of SMEs – dynamic part of economy representing an identification area of potential residents of the park correlated with availability of the employable population; high level of soil fertility, trends of annual growth of agroindustrial production and large share of its supplies to foreign markets, continuous trend of growth of retail sale sector in the district and considerable share of food products in this sector; high investment rating of Straseni district at the country level due to its closeness to the capital and growth in the number of foreign enterprises in the district; as well as on priority of the organizational measures in the activity of the local public administration, including in the context of public-private partnership development. At the same time, the district has well developed transport infrastructure, and thus, there are good prospects and higher attractiveness for investors willing to invest in the industrial park, while utilities infrastructure requires additional resources for renovation or construction, which may be implemented by creating working conditions of the industrial park.

The results of the factorial analysis of the current situation of „CAAN” JSC identify opportunities of the industrial park creation on the basis of the resources available at the moment of the study (such as placement close to Chisinau municipality, availability of large production areas, experience in operating according to the principles of an industrial park, easy access ways, free working site, rich experience of the staff in technical, legal and accounting fields), as well as risks which, however, can be eliminated through application of certain strategic development directions.

As a result of the analysis of the situation in the region and enterprise, the directions of the industrial park development have been identified. On the basis of a number of indices which led to the substantiation of the optimal scenario of activity, the following points have been identified: creation of the industrial park with the existing activities, new activities on the part of resident enterprises and own production activity related to construction and rent of freezing facilities by administrating enterprise; choice of the variant of financing from own sources of the owner and from borrowed funds (in this case the borrowed capital will make up about 37% of the amount of investment); providing „CAAN” JSC with the status of administrating enterprise directed at managing the activity of the industrial park and its production activity; identification of the residents who can be local enterprises as well as foreign economic entities included in several categories (the enterprises which will use refrigerated spaces and services of the packing house, current enterprises with a division of enterprises specialized in freezing field and other enterprises which, if necessary, can be transferred to other production sites, new enterprises which are engaged in main production activities as well as with other areas of activity, and new enterprises, activity of which will be determined by value chain).

The investments in creation of technical and production infrastructure for establishment of the industrial park are estimated at 27 594 276 Euro which are to be invested in 2 stages during 24 months (2011-2012) and which will be repaid within 9.9 years. At the same time, the net profit obtained by the managing enterprise is estimated in a positive dynamics reaching the amount of 17,7 mln. MDL in 2011 and over 79 mln. MDL in 2020, reaching gross margin of 74% in 2020.

Creation of the industrial park by the determined model will have a positive social-economic impact

upon the region by means of: efficient use of its resource potential by obtaining the associated benefits

(over 800 new jobs in the district, growth of tax collection to the state budget at over 22 mln. MDL in

2011, growth of medical and social insurance payments at over 4 mln. MDL in 2015, contribution to

the growth of revenues from sales in the region in the amount of over 169 mln. MDL in 2011, growth

of exports of local enterprises and investment attractiveness of the region, growth of direct

investments in the region at about 48 mln. Euro etc.), it will also contribute to economic development

of the country. Development of modern utilities infrastructure within the industrial park project will

human and material potential of a region.

The importance of the creation of industrial parks in the Republic of Moldova comes from the need of industrial development of economy able to lead to the optimization of the production costs, obtaining of qualitative and competitive products on the sales market, etc., and as an associated effect, investment processes acceleration in the country is required. Thus, industrial park is an efficient instrument of the economic growth at the national and regional levels due to its impact upon the development of production intended for export and development of home consumption in the country.

Straseni is one of the most developed localities of the CDR, being a resident-town of Straseni district, the economic attractiveness of which is also conditioned by its closeness to Chisinau municipality – the capital of the Republic of Moldova. In this context, the concept of industrial park creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC of Straseni is focused on socio-economic development of the region by means of: attraction of local and foreign investments; implementation of modern and innovative technologies; development of small and medium enterprise sector; application of certain advanced management practices; more efficient use of public-private property and job creation.

Thus, the majority is represented by enterprises from the agricultural product processing industry. In 2008 there were 18 wineries, this being the largest number at district level in the country. Thus, industrial production is concentrated in winery sector (wines, divin), and bakery products. There are also 6 enterprises of light industry (including textile industry) in the district. Availability of natural resources in the district also allowed for the development of extraction industry. Gravel, pebble, boulders and flint and stones are extracted for carving and construction, however, they are not used for production of construction materials at the local level.

Revenues from sales produced by the district’s industry are distributed in the following way (Table 2. Situation in industrial sector of Straseni district, 2009): revenue from sales in the whole industrial sector of Straseni district makes up about 300 mln. MDL, out of which over 80% come from processing industry (or about 248 mln. MDL). The largest share of processing industry belongs to food and beverage industry – 61% of processing industry (or about 151 mln. MDL), followed by rubber and plastic production - 12% of processing industry (or about 29 mln. MDL).

With reference to Straseni. The first position is held by processing industry, especially viniculture. Straseni enjoys a rich variety of the best European vine sorts: Aligote, Sauvignon, Riesling, Cabernet, Muscat, Ottonet, Pinot, Merlot, Riesling de Italia, Isabella, from which high-quality champagne, dry, ordinary or sweet wine are produced. The industrial part of the town is situated in the North-West region of the town and is separated from the dwelling area by railroad. Winery and brick shop of the Plant of construction materials are situated in the North of the town. The town has and economically uses railroad.

Agriculture. Because of not quite favourable conditions, agricultural harvest, though diverse one, is not very rich as compared to other districts of the CDR. Grape cultivation is very important for the district. At the same time, zootechnical sector is also developed, especially cattle and poultry breeding for slaughter, the field where Straseni holds the third position in the republic. Also pork breeding is quite developed in the district. The number of agricultural enterprises – 11 041 – 12.1 per 100 residents is lower than average in the region. Majority are small enterprises, only 0,6% being agricultural enterprises with the area of over 10 ha. The number of technical stations for maintaining agricultural machinery is relatively small and does not satisfy the needs of the district (only 7 technical stations). The number of tractors in the district is 8,7 units/1000 ha as compared to regional average value of 11,2 units and national average value of 12,9 units.

In the agricultural sector of the district main cultivated vegetal products are: cereal and legume crops, sun-flower, potato, squash, fruit and grapes. In the last 4 years the agrarian sector of the district was developing unevenly because of unfavourable climate conditions, excessive parcellation of lands, use of poor quality seeds and lack of financial sources, the fact reflected in Table 3. Agriculture in Straseni district.

Source: Information on the socio-economic situation in Straseni district (MET)

The situation in the table is due to:

Satisfactory state of cereals;

Revitalization of viticulture branch beginning with 2004, though reduction of its volume in 2009 because of low prices for grapes and absence of wine market, thus, in 2009 areas with non-productive vines grew by 9% as compared to 2008;

Difficult state of pomiculture: non-conformity of agrotechnical requirements to the phytosanitary state (that is in regard of plants protection). Nevertheless, in the last 5 years new orchards were planted on the area of 418 ha;

Higher harvests in vegetables in 2008 vs 2007 resulting from expansion of areas of protected lands, but, also decrease in vegetable areas in 2009 because of surplus of imported vegetables in the domestic market;

Decrease in milk production connected with decrease in cow flock, though increase in cattle and poultry production as well as egg production in 2009 as compared to 2008;

Concentration of animal production in individual sector – population and farm households – and emerging of possibilities of transition to artificial insemination of cattle with the spermatic material from reproducers with high genetic potential (at present there are 28 such points in the district);

Low level of provision with agricultural equipment and outdating of the machine and tractor park, inability of agricultural land owners or holders to purchase new equipment.

Thus, Straseni district has a quite high agricultural potential, however, capacity of processing agricultural products is poor because of outdated technologies and fragmentation of agricultural areas into small parcels. Moreover, poor economic potential or agricultural enterprises and farm households, inefficient management of agricultural production have determined under-developed state of agricultural products processing sector.

With reference to Straseni. The level of mechanization of agricultural farms covers 50% of the needs in agricultural machines and tractors. At present economic entities of the town hold: tractors –15 units, out of which only 3 were bought in the last 5 years; machines – 17 units, all of which are older than 5 years; combines – 4 units, all are older than 5 years. In general, agricultural equipment is physically and morally outdated, insufficient in number for practicing efficient agriculture.

At present, for processing agricultural products the locality has: 2 corn and wheat mills; oil mill; bakery; fruit dryer; 2 refrigerators for storage of agricultural products with the capacity of 500 tonnes; plants for grape processing.

In general, agricultural products are sold on the local market of the Republic of Moldova in proportion of 60%, and namely: industrial crops – Straseni, Chisinau, cereal crops – Straseni, Chisinau, Balti, fruit and vegetables - Straseni, Balti, Chisinau; while 40% of agricultural products are sold on foreign markets.

Most areas of vineards and orchards were planted more than 20 years ago. These sorts today do not meet market requirements and need to be renewed. Thus, most fruits are sold to processing enterprises.

Main economic entities operating in agriculture are: Growing agricultural products – „Secrieru” LLC, „Bacarji” FH; Processing of agricultural products– „Vin Select” LLC, „Plai-Fruct” JSC; Services rendering – „Ceaglei” IE; trade – URECOOP, ASECOP, „Premium Consum” LLC.

Other economic entities carry out an activity on family principle, main occupation being cultivation of personal parcels in small proportions. These farm households have no potential for financing since are poorly developed and have no sufficient mortgage.

Services. Service sector in Straseni district is mostly represented by retail trade, the volume of which was continuously growing until the crisis of 2009, after which it decreased by 4,1%. In the structure of paid services rendered to population the largest share belongs to public, postal services and communications and services of public catering. In the district there are both companies of transportation of goods and passengers. Passenger transportation is mostly performed by individual enterprises and limited liability companies. During 2008-2009 the volume of services provided for population by the economic entities from private and mixed sector with participation of foreign capital increased, while the volume of paid services by institutions of public form of property decreased.

Retail trade. In 2009, consumer goods were sold in value of 251223,2 thousand MDL, registering a decrease by 4,1% as compared to 2008. In the structure of retail sale of goods the considerable share belongs to non-food goods making up 52,67%.

Rendered services. During 2009, the population was provided with paid services in the amount of 137 037 thousand MDL, resulting, in comparable price conditions, in a 4,8% decrease as compared to 2008. At the same time, the volume of paid services rendered to population was due to the activity carried out by economic entities from the sectors: mixed (public+private) – 3,57% of all the rendered services, private – 45,76%, mixed (with foreign participation) – 25,49%. In public sector – 25,17%.

Contract works. In 2009 contracting enterprises and organisations performed construction-erection works in the amount of 39,7 mln. MDL (at current prices) representing a 52% decrease as compared to 2008. In the structure of the performed works, works at new constructions with 51,5% in total volume predominate. Running repairs made up 48,5% of the total volume of performed contract works. In the structure of contract works in 2009 by the form of organization, the main volume of works was carried out by the economic entities with private form of property.

Transportation of goods and passengers. In 2009 goods in the volume of 37.1 thousand tonnes was transported (representing a 23% decrease as compared to 2008). Goods traffic in 2009 made up 45.9 mln. tonnes/km or 0.5% increase as compared to 2008. Passenger transportation with mini-buses made up 1 539. 9 thousand passengers in 2009 (or about 60% more as compared to 2008) and passenger traffic of 31.6 mln. passenger/-km (or by 17% more as compared to 2008).

Potential resources for the industrial park

In the context of industrial park creation, we see the opportunity of its development in various directions, including industry of agricultural products processing, of manufacturing of agricultural equipment and facilities and of technical servicing for agro-industrial complex. This statement is based on:

Complex industrial infrastructure available in the district which benefits from the activities in the areas with the share of national importance such as: viticulture industry (with a very large share in the country production), canning industry, bakery, meat production;

Growth of agricultural production diversity, combining grape cultivation, zootechnical sector (cattle, poultry, pork breeding) and vegetal products cultivation;

High level of soil fertility;

Need for mechanization and agricultural sector servicing characterized by insufficiency of technological maintenance stations and existing outdating agricultural facilities;

Trend of annual increase in agro-industrial production and large share of its supplies to the foreign markets.

Recovery of the mentioned branches is also justified by the significant development and continuous trend of growth in the retail trade sector of the district and significant share of food products in this sector.

Expected benefits for the district

Implementation of this branches within the industrial park will condition:

Growth of the number of enterprises in the district and accordingly new jobs creation,

Modernization and support of the agricultural sector of the region by implementing the mentioned industrial branches,

Increase in industrial production and, correspondingly, agricultural production in the localities of the district,

Increase in exports and investment attractiveness due to increase in volumes of sales in branches,

Extension of local trade in agricultural and industrial products,

Depolarization of economic activities in the Republic which are mostly concentrated in Chisinau municipality

Growth of employees’ incomes and increase in living standards of population from the region.

2.1.2. Analysis of regional activities of enterprises

Development of entrepreneurial activities is one of the main objectives of regional development in the CDR. During 2004-2008 the number of enterprises increased by 43%. The growth in the number of enterprises is registered with all types of enterprises, with the exception of medium enterprises the number of which decreased by 19%. This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that the number of enterprises increased on account of micro-enterprises. At the same time, the number of jobs reduced by 11%, mostly on account of medium and large enterprises. Although the number of enterprises is constantly growing, the level of enterprises localization is rather low and in 2008 it made up 54 enterprises per 10 000 residents, which is twice as little as in average in the country.

Also, spatial distribution of enterprises’ sales is uneven, varying from district to district up to ten-fold.

Straseni is one of the most active zones from economic point of view where over 65 SME operate per 10 000 residents. SME sector makes up 98% of all the enterprises and employs 62% paid workers. More than 73% of all the enterprises are micro-enterprises. They employ 14% of all paid workers and perform 7% of the total amount of business activity.

Table 5. Indices of regional activities of enterprises

Source: National Strategy for Central Development, 2010

Potential of resources for industrial park

The region inclusion in the zones with the highest economic activity in the country determines continuous growth in the number of enterprises in the region, which reflects the potential of their involvement in the industrial park, especially among SMEs which make up the most significant part of the total enterprises in the region.

Expected benefits for the district

Benefits will be reflected in the further increase in the number of jobs, continuous growth in the number of enterprises per total, increase in the number of enterprises in industry and, as a consequence, improvement of the situation in agriculture, decrease in the number of agricultural enterprises in the region operating at loss. At the same time, jobs reduction at large enterprises in the region can be compensated by involving the corresponding staff in the territory of the industrial park which will be created.

2.1.3. Analysis of the district budget

With a view to implementing provisions of the Action Program regarding socio-economic development of the district, a number of actions were undertaken for budget-financial situation stabilization.

Analysis of the local public administration capacities for development demonstrated the existence of minimum financial possibilities. During 2004-2008 average volume of public expenditures per capita in CDR only made up about 1 160 MDL or a little more than 100 USD/75 Euro. Straseni district has the approximate level of this average value.

Potential of the resources for the industrial park creation

In the context of the public budget, we can note the positive aspect of the financial resources allocation for education which contributes to training and professional development of young staff who may be employed by the potential enterprises on the territory of the industrial park.

Expected benefits for the district

We believe that the industrial park creation will allow for justification and increase in financial resources, presently insufficient or even unavailable in the local budget, which will support activities within the park, including by updating the existing transport and road infrastructure, which will provide benefits at the district level by means of improvement of the living conditions of the population.

2.1.4. Participation in district and national projects

In order to have a deep understanding of the problems of district interest in economic and social areas and to solve them, the district participated in development of territorial, national plans:

Local programs of socio-economic development for 2005-2015 in the context of the National program „Moldovan Village”;

Program of socio-economic development of Straseni district for 2008-2011;

Plan of Straseni district land improvement;

Territorial action plan for labour force employment for 2009

District program on eradication of disorders because of iodine deficit;

Territorial immunization program,

Territorial program for prevention and combating virus hepatitis B,C and D, control and prevention of HIV/AIDS/STD or TB, etc.

Special attention is paid to strengthening cooperation and efficient collaboration relations of 3 structures:

At local level – mayor’s offices, local councils;

At district level – district council, district’s chairman, decentralized and deconcentrated district services;

At central level – Parliament, Government, ministries, departments, agencies.

Potential of the resources for the industrial park creation

Organizational activity is the priority direction in the activity of the local public administration of the second level. Workshops, meetings, conferences, round-tables with participation of mayors, representatives of decentralized and deconcentrated services on the territory, public officials from mayor’s office are organized regularly. Thus, in 2009, for example, there were: 1 meeting and 7 conferences with participation of mayors of administrative territorial units, secretaries of local councils, public officials with various topics: “Notarial actions”, “Powers of local public administration in 2009 Parliamentary elections”, ”Development of Public-Private partnership”. It is clear that the above listed activities represent the premises for the industrial park creation in the region, especially due to offered assistance in development of public-private partnership within the park.

Expected benefits for the district

Positive impact due to local authorities’ involvement in the development of partnerships and projects in the region will be used and enhanced through the park creation and will result, first of all, in the development of entrepreneurial spirit of the region’s population, as well as in the improvement of investment attractiveness of the region and growth of opportunities of foreign investment attraction in the region.

2.2. ANALYSIS OF THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE

Entrepreneurial activity is quite intensive in Straseni district. There are 258 registered enterprises or 4.25 enterprises per 1000 residents, which is above the average for the region. The advantages of the district have allowed for business development so that tax base is above the average for the region.

Page 22: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Own per capita incomes of the district make up 385 MDL, a little higher than the regional average. Correspondingly, the dependence on the transfers from the state budget are lower than the regional average, although still high – 74.7%.

Investments in 2008 were approximately equally distributed among the following sectors: agriculture, processing industry, construction, electric energy, water and gas, transports and communications (Figure 4. Straseni: private investments per capita, ).

Still according to current investment performance Straseni district takes a very favourable place

ranking in the first half of district rating, on the 10th position, in 2008 private investments per capita

being much more larger as compared to the average in the region (Figure 4). What makes Straseni

district to take a lower position in the total rating is the Dynamics of the Investment Performance

where the district takes the 34th place out of 38 positions. Thus, despite the high level of investments

in 2008, historically they did not grow at a rate sufficiently high to compete with other districts of the

country.

Figure 4. Straseni: private investments per capita, MDL

Figure 5. Straseni district: structure of investments by the type of economic activity, 2008, %

Source: calculations of authors based on NSB data

There are 31 enterprises with foreign capital in the district, a very high index for the republic, these being medium enterprises with medium capital about 1 843 thousand MDL per company. Thus, in 2008 the balance of foreign investments made up 57 mln. MDL or 625 MDL per capita, which equals to 33% of the region average.

In 2009 the volume of investments in fixed capital made up 91 mln. MDL at current prices, or by 65% lower as compared to the previous year. The analysis of the structure of investments in fixed capital by the form of property shows that intensification of investment activity was basically determined by public property enterprises which made up about 58.5% of the total volume of investments in fixed

capital. The share of private sector enterprises in the total volume of investments in fixed capital made up 24.1%. In 2009 main sources of funding of the investment activity were: own resources of economic entities and population – 31.7%; state budget – 28.1%; foreign investments – 23.1%.

Potential of the resources for the industrial park creation

Geographical closeness to Chisinau municipality provides an effect of local investment elimination. A number of evident competitive advantages of the capital as compared to Straseni district makes most companies give up investing in this district in favour of Chisinau. Nevertheless, Straseni district still has a high investment rating at the country level, which is obviously a great advantage to create the proposed park. At the same time, regional closeness to the capital may also be considered as an investment advantage, especially for the companies dealing with production, processing of raw materials, storage as well as organized collection of agricultural raw materials. Also, in the context of the industrial park creation, thanks to closeness to the capital, many companies may set their subdivisions or completely delocalize their activity to Straseni. At present, for example, about 40% of all the companies efficiently operating in the district either having headquarters in Chisinau, or founders are from the capital.

Expected benefits for the district

In our opinion, the park creation will allow for increase in foreign investments by means of extension of industrial activities in the district, which will obviously improve the investment visibility of the region and will allow for transparency promotion at both district and national level for the investment projects which will be implemented. We also consider development of the framework of partnership between investors and local administration of the district to be an advantage. Moreover, it is essential that the companies which already operate on the territory of „CAAN” JSC have well developed activities, while the enterprise transformation into the industrial park will produce an additional inflow of capital and will offer additional investment opportunities. Along with the industrial park creation, necessary utilities will be created (which presently either are unavailable or their cost exceeds 15% of the sale price). Installation of utilities will cut costs for resident enterprises, resulting in corresponding decrease in costs and increase in opportunities to make investments allowing for new jobs creation.

2.3. Administrative-territorial organization

Joint-Stock Company „CAAN” (Company for unused assets renting) is situated in Straseni, Straseni district (Figure 6. Location of Straseni district and „CAAN” JSC within the CDR). In its turn, Straseni district is a part of Central Development Region.

Figure 6. Location of Straseni district and „CAAN” JSC within the CDR

The immediate location of the analyzed district next to Chisinau municipality (at the distance of 23 km from Chisinau to North-West) should be emphasized (Figure 6. Location of Straseni district and

Page 24: Feasability Study CAAN_english

„CAAN” JSC within the CDR). Besides this neighbourhood, Straseni district has common border with the districts: Calarasi (North-West direction), Nisporeni (West), Hincesti (South-West), Ialoveni (South), Criuleni (East) and Orhei (North-East).

Straseni district has the total area of 729.31 km² (approximately 7% of the CDR area which makes up 10.636 km²). The district consists of 39 localities among which: 2 towns (Straseni (resident town of the district) and Bucovat), 25 communes and 12 villages (Figure 7. Map of localities of Straseni district). Within the analyzed district Straseni has the area of 60.82 km² (8.3% of the district).

Potential of the resources for the industrial park creation

In the course of the analysis we consider location of the new industrial park on the territory of „CAAN” JSC appropriate in the light of the following aspects:

- from the geographical point of view, Straseni district is situated in the centre of the CDR, the resident town being situated right in the centre of the administrative region of the district, ensuring communication lines with all the administrative territories;

- location of the industrial park at the distance of 23 km from Chisinau municipality provides a high attractiveness from the point of view of investors since the market of Chisinau is the most developed trade market of the republic.

Expected benefits for the region

Evidently, placement of the industrial park on the territory of „CAAN” JSC is much more than advantageous, since it has direct access and connections with at least 7 districts, including Chisinau municipality – main economic centre of the country.

2.4. Analysis of socio-economic environment

2.4.1. Analysis of demographic situation

Population of the district makes up 91.5 thousand people (8.5% of the CDR population which makes up 1 065 thousand people). Villages with population of over 5 000 people are: Cojusna, Lozova,

Page 25: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Vorniceni and Sireti. Within the analyzed district Straseni has a population of 21 867 people (20% of the district).

Straseni district has a population distribution in favor of women (51%) and in favour of rural residents (75.1%), and average population density above the regional average (125.5 residents / km2 as compared to 100.2 in total in the CDR). Natural growth of the population from the district shows insignificant growth in the district of 0.1 per 1 000 residents, while the share of rural population is above the regional average, and namely 75.5% as compared to 60.8% (see Table 8. General demographic data)

With reference to Straseni, the total number of residents makes up 21 867 people (data of 2008, Plan of economic development of Straseni) divided into groups, by gender: female –11 145, (51%); male – 10 722 (49%), and by age: up to 18 years old – 4 274, (19.5%); from 18 to 60 years old – 15 625, (71.5%); over 60 –1 968 (9%). According to the data of the census of 2004, the population of the town made up 18 320 people. Thus, there is a trend of the town population growth in the recent period, mostly caused by the rise in birth rates but also due to the return of some categories of people who worked abroad (especially from the Russian Federation). Straseni, like most localities of the Republic of Moldova, faces the problem of the population migration abroad in search of a more well paid job. Thus, about 2 884 people temporarily left the locality while 43 people left for a period longer than a year or even permanently.

Potential of the resources for the industrial park

From the above mentioned data it is seen that for the industrial park activity it is essential to have the labour force both from Straseni, which presently has active population of over 15 thousand people, and from the district with a little more than 95 thousand people. A positive factor for the activity of the industrial park of „CAAN” JSC is also the fact that the migration process is very slow denoting the possibility that the employees are not subjects to voluntary migration – essential factor for investment projects of any economic entity.

Expected benefits for the region

Transformation of „CAAN” JSC into industrial park will have a positive effect on the local population and, by means of further planned investments will result in dispersal of the activities concentrated in Chisinau municipality to rural and urban localities of the region, thus depolarizing economic activity.

2.4.2. Labour force analysis

The share of economically active population in the total CDR makes up about 65% of the total population of the region. Out of these, about 51% are actively involved in labour. 41% of active population are employed in agriculture, which is mostly an agriculture for living (Figure 8. Structure of working population in the CDR, 2007).

In the whole region, Straseni district demonstrated the level above average of active population (66.3%) and one of the lowest rates of unemployment - 0.58%, second position after Orhei district with 0.38% (Figure 9. Active population and unemployment rate in the CDR). This fact is explained by closeness of Chisinau municipality where many residents of the district are employed.

Figure 9. Active population and unemployment rate in the CDR

Source: National Strategy of Central Development, 2010

With reference to Straseni district, economically active population is 51 326 people, making up 57.77% of the total population. The number of people employed in the economy makes up 49 992, correspondingly 1 334 are not officially employed in the labour market.

Main activity of the town’s population is agriculture, in this sphere being involved about 1 500 people or 63.8% of the total number of employable population; followed by trade where 350 people are employed (14.9%) and processing industry – 200 people (8.5%). The level of unemployment is medium as compared to other localities of the Republic of Moldova. Thus, there are 300 registered unemployed or 12.8% of employable population.

Dividing the population in Straseni (13.865 people with education) by level of education, the following can be stated: higher education – 2 247 people (16.2%); secondary professional education – 94 people (20.8%); incomplete secondary education (9 grades) – 8 735 (63%).

In order to assess the labour force potential for the industrial park creation in Straseni on the basis of „CAAN” JSC, a total research area of 30 km around the locality was determined (see Figure 10. Research area on demographic situation.).

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 28

The analysis of the data presented in the above table and geographical neighbourhood of 30 km around Straseni locality with the main set points identifies a high potential of the available labour force which can be se used by means of population’s involvement within the created industrial park.

Potential of the resources for the industrial park

From the above mentioned data, it is seen that the population is mostly employed in agriculture, the branch of economy with the lowest salaries but which continues having the essential share in the gross domestic product of the country. At the same time, presence of the agricultural activity in the region will serve as a premise for the development of industries of processing and supporting agricultural sector within the industrial park. Moreover, the data show a level of over 20% of people with higher education, mostly in Straseni. It is a positive factor for the activity of enterprises on the territory of the industrial park, these having sufficient human resources to select candidates for the available positions.

Figure 9. Active population and unemployment rate in the CDR shows that the number of officially registered unemployed people in Straseni district is below local average being one of the lowest in the region. However, it should be taken into account that these are mostly young people who are not engaged in the labour market while great majority of the population from villages are not willing to make the corresponding registration. Nevertheless, it is seen that availability of labour resources is a positive factor for the activity of further development of the industrial park, enterprises operating on its territory having at their disposal a quite diverse market of the labour force.

Expected benefits for the region

Once “CAAN” JSC transformation into the industrial park directly implies an inflow of capital, and as a result of which growth of investments is also expected, factors which create new jobs, the direct effect will be focused on increase in the number of well paid jobs and, thus, improvement of living standards of the population.

2.4.3. Analysis of the population well-being and labour performance

Presence of a large number of economic entities in Straseni district determined a level of

monthly salary above the regional average in 2008 – 1 939 MDL (3% above the regional

23,3% below the national average). This also favors the level of consumption above the

average – 2 942 MDL per capita in 2008. In the structure of consumption expenses: food

(48%) and non-food expenses (33%) prevail, expenditures for services making up 13%. We

reduced share of expenses for healthcare (4% of total) and, especially, for education - just 1 MDL

month, 10 times less than in the capital. In total in the Central DR during 2005-2008 labour

performance of the employees essentially decreased alongside with the evolution of the real

2007-2008 performance had a decreasing trend while the salary continued to grow (

Figure 11. Evolution of performance and labour remuneration in the industrial sector of the CDR, prices comparable to 2005=100%). This might be caused by the fact that the companies from the

Page 29: Feasability Study CAAN_english

region try to keep the existing labour force in order not to make them to decide to emigrate in search of other jobs.

Figure 11. Evolution of performance and labour remuneration in the industrial sector of the CDR, prices comparable to 2005=100%

Recent data of January-August, 2010 reflect average monthly salary of an employee of Straseni district economy which made up 2 255 MDL and increased by 7.3% as compared to the same period of 2009. In budget sphere average salary made up 2 238 MDL and increased by 11.7% as compared to 2009, in real sector – 2 336 MDL making up 6.6% increase. Within this increase hotels and restaurants were identified more where salaries were increased by 75% (see the table below).

For Straseni the situation is the following: according to the statistical data, at the end of the I trimester 2008 average revenues depending of the sphere of activity were observed. Thus, average income per capita made up: in primary agriculture – 1 129 MDL, in processing industry – 2 494 MDL, in business (trade) – 2 224 MDL, retired – 641 MDL.

Potential of resources for the industrial park

The main factor which determines registration of higher levels of salaries above the regional average is the district closeness to Chisinau municipality (the distance between Chisinau and Straseni is just 23 km), the fact for which investment inflow a has stronger dynamics and accordingly higher salaries, higher living standards of the population, which may be reflected as an important economic advantage in the industrial park creation in the region.

Expected benefits for the region

Main aspects which can be represented as benefits of the industrial park creation are directly reflected in creation of new jobs or better paid jobs.

Along with the transformation into the industrial park and provision of facilities, the corresponding costs will decrease significantly, while with further investments the partner companies under the similar conditions of activity would be able to create new jobs or increase incomes of the employees – the beneficial fact for personal incomes and improvement of the level of the population’s living standards.

2.4.4. ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

2.4.5. Analysis of natural resources

From the total areas of the district (72 931 ha), agricultural lands make up (31 189 ha) 43%, out of which 3 376 ha are in public ownership and 27 813 ha in private ownership (2008). Besides, the district area includes: area of towns, villages – 5 894 ha (out of which in public ownership – 1 931 ha, in private ownership - 3 963 ha); industrial, transport, telecommunications or other special destination areas –1 209 ha (public ownership - 1 008 ha, private ownership - 201 ha); environmental, healthcare, entertainment areas, areas of historical-cultural value, suburban and „green” zones - 68 ha (public ownership); forest areas – 26 243 ha (public ownership); water areas - 380ha (public ownership) and reserve fund lands – 7 948 ha (public ownership). Thus, the total area of the district consists of: lands in public ownership (56%) and lands in private ownership (44%).

As it is seen, lands in public ownership, characterized by existence of forest resources of over 26 thousand ha prevail which would determine a share of over 35% of the whole area.

Reflected data demonstrate that Straseni district has a significant agricultural potential which makes it possible to obtain products able to fully meet the population’s needs for food consumption and create important available funds for export.

With reference to Straseni, area of which is 6 082 ha, 1 586 ha of which are agricultural lands. The locality is one of the smallest in the republic where the share of forest resources is impressive and makes up about 40% or 2 340 ha.

Recreation zones consist of: bank of Ghidighici, 6 parks of culture and entertainment. Nearby there is national park "CODRII". The administrator of the national park is SE "Moldsilva" with administrative headquarters in Straseni.

The largest share in agricultural lands in Straseni belongs to cultivation areas of vineyard and orchard plantations, specific to the given zone, the next position being occupied by cereal and industrial crops followed by vegetable farming. The detailed structure of cultivated agricultural crops can be seen in the figure below.

CDR is characterized by the deposits of minerals useful for construction materials production - carbonaceous rocks: limestone, marl, argillaceous raw material, sands, sand and gravel formations, diatomite and tripoli. The Centre zone is rich in carbonaceous rocks – limestone which is widely used in construction for limestone calcination for rough stone and gravel as well as an additive to cattle and poultry food. In addition to carbonaceous minerals, deposits of clay, sandy clay, used as raw materials for bricks are developed in the region. Within Straseni district there is the only limestone extraction quarry of national importance, situated in Gornoe village.

Presence of the available natural resources reflects nothing but new possibilities of business development, while „green” areas which predominate in Straseni district perfectly combine profitable activity with recreation opportunities of citizens – thus, there are great opportunities for the development of regional tourism.

Potential of resources for the industrial park

For the industrial park activity under the conditions when regional economic activity is mainly based on agriculture, a positive factor is relative dispersion of lands by their destination – 43% agricultural lands, about 35% are forest resource lands, 8% are towns and villages lands. This distribution allows

carrying out diverse activities on the park territory, from agricultural processing and to timber processing or rendering of services for different activities.

At the same time, since Straseni has reduced areas of agricultural lands which makes a large part of the population to be concentrated on the industrial sphere of economy, representing a quite favourable intellectual potential for further operation of the industrial park.

Expected benefits for the region

In our opinion, creation of the industrial park will allow for efficient use of the existing agricultural lands in the region by using products and services of the industries supporting agricultural activities.

2.4.6. Analysis of transport infrastructure

Administrative territorial location of the new industrial park in the centre of the development region also determines its perfect connection not just with the local administrative unities, but also with the main regional and international routes.

The position of Straseni district in this part should be analyzed, in the first place, through the CDR, which is situated in the central part of the Republic of Moldova providing links between other regions. In the West the CDR is directly connected with Romania through 3 customs stations, including railroad station - railroad junction in Ungheni. In the East the region’s connection with Ukraine and Russia goes through Transnistrian Region. In the North and South the region’s connection goes through the NDR and SDR. The distances from the main cities are: Iasi, Romania – 20-150 km, Cernauti, Ukraine – 150-220 km, Odessa, Ukraine – 100–170 km.

Transport network of the CDR is represented by two types of transportation: motor and railroad. Traffic of goods and passengers is provided by motor transportation on local, republican and international levels. Railroad transportation is mostly used for traffic of goods and passengers on international level.

Connections to international traffic refer to a dense network of international routes: European Economic Corridor IX (EC IX); Economic Budapest Odessa Corridor (BOC); Giurgiulesti - Briceni Corridor (GBC) (Figure 14. Network of routes in the CDR).

From the CDR it is possible to move to the North through the international route: М2 – Chisinau - Soroca – Ukrainian border and route М14 – Brest – Briceni – Chisinau – Tiraspol - Odessa; to the South: M3 – Chisinau – Giurgiulesti; to the East M21 – Chisinau – Dubasari; to the West M1 - Chisinau – Leuseni. These routes will be supplemented with another international route in case of implementation of transport corridor Budapest - Iasi – Chisinau – Odessa.

Other important international and national transport routes which go through the CDR are:

Northern direction, to Cernauti – Zhytomyr - Lvov – Warsaw: М2 – Chisinau - Soroca – Ukrainian border; to Vinnitsa – Kiev – Moscow: М14 – Brest – Briceni – Chisinau – Tiraspol - Odessa;

Southern direction, to Galati – Tulcea - Constanta - Varna – Istanbul: M3 –Chisinau – Giurgiulesti and R3 – Chisinau – Hincesti - Basarabeasca

South-East direction, to Odessa – Nicolaev – Kherson – Yalta: R2- Chisinau - Bender and R30- Anenii Noi – Causeni - Stefan-Voda - Ukrainian border.

Eastern direction, to Krasnie Okni – Krivoi Rog – Donetsk – Voronezh: M21 – Chisinau - Dubasari and R5 – Chisinau - Vadul–lui-Voda - Dubasari.

Western direction to Iasi – Tirgu Neamt – Cluj – Oradea – Budapest: M1 - Chisinau – Leuseni and R1 – Chisinau - Ungheni.

Connections with the inter-regional traffic. Connection with the NDR is made through Balti municipality (М2, М14, R13, R14, R17 ) and the most popular roads are M14 and R14 - dual highways which do not meet the requirements of constantly growing flow of transport. Connection with the SDR is performed through roads M14, M3, R-3, R-30, R-34, out of which R3 is the most agglomerated and needs to be enlarged by at least one traffic lane. Connection with Transnistrian Development Region is possible through international route M1.

Intra-regional road network. Maximum distance between the CDR localities in South-North direction is about 180 km, while in East-West direction - about 120 km and connection can be ensured by transit through Chisinau municipality. The distance between the main urban centres (Ialoveni, Straseni, Ungheni, Orhei, Hincesti) does not exceed 150 km.

Network of local roads. Beside these roads there is a large branched network of roads of local importance. The length of motor roads in the CDR is presented in Table 11. Network of local roads, The share of national roads is 36.5%, overwhelming majority having hard coating. The largest number of roads is in Straseni and Ialoveni districts.

Potential of resources for the industrial park. It should be mentioned that all these aspects related to transport connections and infrastructure in the Centre region are the most developed, thus providing high prospects and a better attractiveness for the investors willing to invest in the industrial park. Location next to the railroad junction Chisinau - Ungheni and in direct closeness to the railroad station of Straseni only increases the investment attractiveness for companies. Thus, well developed regional infrastructure and transportation ways are the factors of success for the industrial park on the territory of „CAAN” JSC.

Expected benefits for the region. In this sense, an intensive development of the industrial park will recreate the premises for development of the whole regional infrastructure and, thus, will directly influence the level of the population’s living standards.

2.4.7. Analysis of public utility infrastructure

Water and sewage network. The CDR has significant reserves of potable and mineral water with evident curative properties. The density of potable water distribution networks in the region is in average 13.2 km/100km2 (2008). The share in Straseni district is above regional average making up 14.1 km/100km2 (Figure 15. Water supply networks density by districts, km/100 km2).

Figure 15. Water supply networks density by districts, km/100 km2

Source: National Strategy of the Central Development, 2010

Underground waters from phreatic and deep water-bearing layers have a special importance for the CDR development. Unlike deep underwaters, phreatic waters undergo intensive anthropogenic pollution. Out of the total amount of deep underground waters extracted or studied, about 50% cannot be recommended for human consumption without preliminary treatment. These waters are characterized by increased content of mineralization, fluorine, hydrogen sulphide, iron, sodium, ammonia and other elements.

Straseni district is crossed by the rivers: Byk – 18 km, affluents - 37 km, Ichel – 12 km, affluents – 24 km, Isnovat – 20 km, affluents – 6 km. On the district’s territory there are 78 water reservoirs, 122 artesian wells, out of which 47 rigs, 5.641 shaft wells are operated. However, in internal rivers the level of pollution remains high. Main sources of pollution are determined by communal sector by means of water treatment plants which dispose insufficiently purified wastewaters. Out of 13 wastewater treatment plants which operated in the district, only 5 of them are operating at present: „Romanesti” JSC, mayor’s office Bucovat -2 plants, Monastic Complex Capriana and „Euro-Textile Straseni” LTD.

It should be mentioned here that, in general, sewage network in the NDR is poorly developed and technologies of wastewaters treatment are very outdated. Share of housing stock of the CDR having sewage network makes up 15.6% as compared to the national average of 22.6%.

In regard of Straseni, water resources of the town make up 180 ha, formed by the area of the Byk river – 7.11 ha, 5 ponds with the area of 18 ha and protected swamps and 920 wells with the total water volume of about 2 116 m³. The town is provided with potable water by water supply system, with 7100 families using these services. The town’s residents have access to sewage services.

At the same time, for Straseni, it should be mentioned that in 2010 there were submitted applications for financing from the central public authorities for works on infrastructure modernization like the application for reconstruction of the pumping station and restoration of sewage networks, evaluated at 3 mln. MDL.

Waste management. In the CDR, infrastructure and management of solid wastes is poorly developed, both as regards quantity and quality. There is a high level of pollution of soils, waters and other environmental elements mostly caused by poorly developed infrastructure of collection of solid and liquid wastes, including toxic wastes.

The region is characterized by unseparated collection of wastes and a very reduced share of recycled wastes. The CDR daily produces about 1000 tonnes of solid wastes which are presently collected and stored in about 350 small dumps at outskirts of the region’s localities. Most of the dumps occupy large areas but are inadequately arranged.

Natural gas supply for the CDR localities is provided from main gas pipelines at high pressure. In the North of the CDR there is natural main gas pipeline Iamburg - Elet - Cernauti and the branch line from it to Chisinau municipality, through the junction Soldanesti - Rezina, then through pipeline Ribnita - Chisinau, along the CDR territory. The share of housing stock of the CDR connected to the natural gas network makes up 33.5%, which is lower than similar indices for SDR and Gagauzia as well as as compared to the national average of 34.9% (Figure 16. The share of gasified localities by districts, %).

Besides natural gas, there are consumers of liquefied gas in the CDR (industrial sector, rural localities). Supply of consumers with liquefied gas is performed by „Gaznosbat” enterprise situated in Straseni.

The map of the existing and forecasted natural gas networks is presented in Figure 17. Gasification network, CDR.

Figure 16. The share of gasified localities by districts, %

Source: National Strategy of the Central Development, 2010

As regards Straseni, the locality is connected to gas, the services of which being used by 5.304 families, making up about 50% of the total population of the town. At the same time, there are still 5 701 families which are not connected, this is mostly because of the lack of financial means.

Figure 17. Gasification network, CDR

Source: National Strategy of the Central Development, 2010

Electric energy supply for the localities of the CDR is performed by distribution networks belonging to the company Electric Networks „Centru”, the enterprise with foreign capital of „Union Fenosa” company and of the state enterprise „Retelele Electrice de Distributie Nord”. On the territory of the CDR there are two large stations with the capacity of 333 kW in Ialoveni and Straseni. Other more than 200 stations have the capacity of 35-110 kW. The CDR territory is crossed from the North to the South (Tiraspol – Ialoveni - Straseni - Balti) by two high capacity overhead electric lines of 330 kW. All the localities of the region are connected to electric networks. At the local level there are problems with electricity supply in newly constructed sectors where technical projects of networks are required. The cost of the technical project is to be paid by the local public administration and potential consumers. Thus, connection to electric networks is delayed due to the lack of financial means.

Thermal energy supply is a problem for most residents of apartment houses in the CDR. Housing blocks were provided with thermal energy from central heating networks which at present do not function. Thus, residents of housing blocks which are supplied with gas, installed autonomous boilers, others set ovens in blocks, while others use other electrical appliances for heat production during winter. The situation is similar in public institutions where either autonomous boilers or ovens are installed. Private sector (houses on ground) uses ovens both in urban and rural areas.

Potential of resources for the industrial park

A less favourable aspect for the activity of the industrial park is the lack or inadequate provision with water and sewage. In this sense, additional resources are necessary for installation of utilities for water supply and sewage systems. In case of large monetary investments in the interior of the industrial park, the creation of well done local sewage system would ensure a good functionality of the component entities of the industrial park.

At the same time, since Straseni is situated not far from Chisinau municipality it will ensure certain competitive advantages in regard of other towns or districts. The main advantage is direct access to high pressure gas pipelines which can be used for current consumption not only by the population, but also economic entities. From the point of view of effect upon the industrial park, it represents nothing

but an advantage and opportunity to attract investors. In case of lack of connection to gas network, economic entities from the territory of the park can do it by themselves with minimum costs and having extended opportunities from the point of view of consumption.

Functioning of electric stations of 330 Kw on the territory of Straseni as well as passing of 2 high voltage overhead lines are quite important decisive factors. Moreover, in case of development of some new activities based on alternative energy, the industrial park would have direct access to the electricity provider, while direct sale of energy would only be a question of time for the future activity of the park.

Lack of thermal energy supply determines establishment of too high prices for heating of spaces on the „CAAN” JSC territory. On one hand, this would seem to be a negative factor, however, if analyzing the possible activities which can be carried out on the territory of the park, the lack of thermal energy would turn out to be a favourable factor – companies which will be able to produce electricity as a result of the activity on production of other goods, will have a free and unrestricted sales market.

Expected benefits for the region

The benefits resulting from the industrial park implementation consist in creation or improvement of town’s and region’s infrastructure per total with positive effects upon the environment. Created or reconstructed water treatment plants will also service a part of neighbouring localities of the industrial park, which will reduce environmental pollution. Moreover, the industrial park creation will determine state authorities to construct the facilities related to transport and communications infrastructure with beneficial effect upon the region.

2.4.8. Analysis of vocational and higher education institutions

The educational institutions network of Straseni district consists of: 32 preschool institutions, 39 school institutions, 3 extraschool institutions. The localities without school institutions are: Huzun village, affiliated to theoretical lyceum „Ion Creanga”, Micleuseni; Rasvet village, affiliated to gymnasium Bucovat.

The district has 37 buildings destinated for preschool institutions. Currently only 33 kindergartens work. Localities Stejareni, Gornoe, Micleuseni, Huzun have no preschool institutions. In villages Rasvet, Dolna, Saca, Capriana, Tiganesti preschool institutions have not worked for 10-16 years, the buildings being in a deplorable state.

Out of 32 preschool institutions, 12 work on natural gas, 16 with ovens, 4 with solid and liquid fuel. Out of 39 pre-university institutions, 18 work on natural gas, one with oven and 20 with solid and liquid fuel. Significant problems related to running water supply were revealed in most institutions. Most educational institutions need maintenance of lighting systems. The majority of educational institutions need updating school furniture and didactic materials.

District educational institutions institutionalized:

Total – 12 596 students in 596 classes

Primary education – 4 999 students in 216 classes

Gymnasium education – 6 558 students in 313 classes

Lyceum education – 1 495 students in 72 classes

Secondary education – 144 students in 8 classes

Educational institutions of the district are provided with didactic staff of 950 teachers in pre-university education and 325 teachers in preschool education. Didactic staff provision in 2008-2009 academic years made up 95.15% .

From job offers provided by the educational institutions of the district for 2009-2010 the necessary number makes up 37 teachers. Out of the total number of didactic staff: - 196 specialists carry out didactic charge of more than 27 due to the lack of specialists, - 198 are pensioners. For a qualitative professional training 33 teachers undertake extramural studies. Out of the total number (1275) of

Page 38: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 38

didactic staff, 850 (66 %) have didactic grades: Superior didactic grade – 11, I didactic grade - 80, II didactic grade - 760.

In Straseni cultural educational services are reflected in 4 gymnasiums covering 893 students; 1 lyceum with 1.860 students; 4 kindergartens with 934 children; 2 libraries and one cultural centre. Besides, Straseni has a public organization which supports the community development: public association of teachers and parents functioning within gymnasiums of the locality.

Potential of resources for the industrial park

As it has been already mentioned, Straseni almost does not have specialized higher educational institutions. This lack is explained by the fact that most young people that are willing to receive higher education, because of the small distance between the town and Chisinau municipality, go directly to the city, even though making everyday trips. Therefore, the level of education of the population is not considered to be below the regional average, quite the contrary, most lyceum leavers continue their education – the fact allowing the industrial park to have staff specialized in the field, trained and often with work experience, but who might, at the same time, request a higher remuneration for their work.

Expected benefits for the region

Expected benefits refer to the improvement of qualification of the people engaged in the industrial activities of the park as well as increase in professional level of the region’s population. This fact may then create conditions for involvement of new specialists – didactic staff in the region as well as integration of students for the period of practical training within the park. Moreover, persistence of created jobs will indirectly entail a greater interest of the population in obtaining and completing higher education as well as experience exchange among didactic staff and those practically trained.

3. LEGAL FRAMEWORK

3.1. Analysis of the legal framework of the RM

General remarks

The legal system of the Republic of Moldova has experienced a relatively good development within the last decade. Moldova has come closer to the standards of European countries and international organisations it adhered to (such as the World Trade Organization), however there is still a long way ahead to fully comply with the legislation. Extension and effectiveness of Moldovan trade legislation has improved but practical implementation of the Law still remains a great problem. Further on we point out the most important positive aspects of Moldovan legislation meant to encourage both local and foreign investors.

Private property protection

Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova stipulates supremacy of the principle of the rule of law. The state guarantees the right of private property (art.46 of the Constitution) and protects property of citizens of the Republic of Moldova, foreign citizens and stateless people (art.126-127 of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova). The Constitution ensures that property both material and

Page 39: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 39

intellectual, acquired legally cannot be confiscated, legal nature of property being presumed. In 2002 a number of articles contravening the principle of property security and alleged nature of private property, were excluded from Chapter V „Tax Administration” of the Fiscal Code of the Republic of Moldova. The article 23 (3) of the Law on privatization (No. 627-XII of 04.07.1991) stipulates that the state guarantees property rights to privatized property, right to participate in privatization provided equally to citizens of the Republic of Moldova, foreign citizens and stateless persons.

Protection and promotion of investments

According to article 126 of the Constitution the state ensures inviolability of investments of individuals and legal entities, including foreign persons. Article 5 of the Law on investments in entrepreneurial activity states that investors shall invest on the entire territory of the Republic of Moldova and in any field of entrepreneurial activity in compliance with antitrust legislation, environmental legislation, national security etc. The state ensures the regime of security and full and constant protection for all the investments regardless of their form. Investments and provided facilitations cannot be subject to any discrimination by nationality, residence, place of registration, etc., all the investors being provided with equal rights.

The government of the Republic of Moldova offers favourable conditions in the process of privatization of productive objects including the possibility of payment by instalments of the price for the privatized objects, this possibility being important for attraction of investors. If an investor wants to start a totally new business and for this purpose wants to purchase a parcel of land being in public property (except those of agricultural or forest destination), the investor has to pay in the first year at least 50% of the parcel price, the rest of the payment can be staggered for the period of 3 years (according to the Law on normative price and procedure of land purchase and sale No.1308-XIII of 25.07.1997). In order to improve the business climate as well as to promote local and foreign investments, the government of the Republic of Moldova adopted the Decision „On control regulation” according to which all the state institutions executing functions of control and conformity assessment should go through a „guillotine” and only those will survive which really exercise functions of control important for consumers’ security, for public interest, for national security, etc. We believe this is a very appropriate measure, the efficiency of which will fully depend on the readiness of control and assessment bodies to give up their powers.

Foreign investors

With some notable exceptions foreign investors enjoy equal rights with the nationals. Moldova has signed bilateral agreements on investments with more than 25 countries, including the countries which are its principal trade partners or those which allocated important investments in the Republic of Moldova. Our country has also signed 13 international agreements on avoiding double taxation. Foreign investors have the possibility to invest in and control local companies, are protected by international agreements for investment protection and insurance. The government will approve the national program for investments promotion.

The activity of foreign investors in the Republic of Moldova falls in jurisdiction of the Law on investments in entrepreneurial activity which establishes equal rights for national and foreign investors.

Expression of free economic initiative

Market, economic initiative and fair competition are indentified as fundamental principles of the economy (art. 9 of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova). The government of the Republic of Moldova, central and local public administrations can only give orders to enterprises within the limits of their competences stipulated by legislation (art. 8 of the Law on enterprises and entrepreneurship). Losses, including missed profit, suffered by enterprises as a result of execution of illegal orders shall be recovered from the budget which finances the corresponding authorities. Economic initiative cannot be restricted under the pretext of inopportune nature or its uselessness. Private contracts are discussed freely, then are registered with the notary for their legal authentification. Contracts of land lease are registered with the bodies of the local public administration.

Activity of industrial parks

Page 40: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 40

The process of creation of industrial parks and conditions of activity of their residents are regulated by the Law on industrial parks (No.182 of 15.07.2010, in force since 03.09.2010).

The main objectives of the Law (art.2) are:

I. attraction of local and foreign investments;

II. formation of competitive sectors in industry on the basis of modern and innovative technologies;

III. carrying out of economic activities in compliance with the opportunities of development specific to the corresponding zone, including a more efficient use of public property;

IV. development of small and medium enterprises;

V. creation of jobs.

This law is complete and its provisions are applied along with a number of other laws and legal acts, out of which we would mention:

I. Civil Code of the Republic of Moldova;

II. Tax Code of the Republic of Moldova

III. Law on joint-stock companies, No. 1134 of 02.04.1997;

IV. Law on limited liability companies, No.135 of 14.06.2007;

V. Law on state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, No. 220 of 19.10.2007;

VI. Law on investments in entrepreneurial activity, No. 81 of 18.03.2004;

Legal address: 1 V. Crasescu St., Straseni, Republic of Moldova

Executive headquarters is at the same address.

4.1.2. Brief historical review

„CAAN” JSC, previously MFC. ”Masfrigcomplect” was founded according to the law on privatization (No. 627-XII of 04.07.1991), Law on entrepreneurship and enterprises (No. 845-XII of 03.01.1992) and other normative acts of the Republic of Moldova according to declaration of incorporation of September 28, 1995.

The company was registered on December 27, 1995 in the State Register of enterprises and organizations under No.151052150.

The company received the unique identification code (IDNO) 1005600014663.

In 1996 the company was restructured by means of adoption of Restructuring plan by the State Council of Creditors. Implementation of the Plan of Restructuring conditioned the transition of the production nomenclature to LTD type companies founded by the company’s shareholders (former employees of the plant).

From the moment of the implementation of the restructuring plan and up to now one of the main activities of the company is rent of production, auxiliary premises, machines, facilities and equipment.

At present ”CAAN” is a joint stock company which, in fact, due to the launch of the restructuring project in the 90-s of the past century operates according to the principle of industrial park. However, since there were no Law on industrial parks in the analyzed period, the company was founded on the basis of the Law on Lease as a company for renting of unused assets.

4.1.3. Fields of activity

The company was created to enlarge the economic value of the existing assets and acquisition of incomes.

According to the company’s Articles of association it carries out the following activities:

Rent of production, auxiliary premises, available machines, facilities and equipment;

Sale of unused assets;

Rendering of business consulting services.

Previously the company was producing freezing equipment for industrial refrigerators of various capacities intended to store fruit and vegetables and was provided with the equipment necessary for this activity.

4.1.4. Dimensions of the enterprise

The company is situated on the territory of about 14.8704 ha.

Historically it was one of 4 enterprises of the Soviet Union importance intended to produce freezing equipment for the whole Soviet Union.

After collapse in the 90-s, the enterprise as the majority of large enterprises totally lost sales market and stopped production activities.

Conclusions:

The general situation of the enterprise reflects:

Opportunity to extend the activities on the territory, taking into account vast area of about 13,7 ha.

Large experience of the enterprise analyzed at the level on national orders and in the light of its specialization in freezing equipment production.

Experience of the enterprise in activities of leasing its areas and equipment.

4.2. Enterprise’s potential

4.2.1. Diagnosis and infrastructure of location

General data on the enterprise infrastructure are presented in Table 12.

Table 12. Enterprise’s infrastructure

2 Area of the enterprise’s territory within fenced perimeter 13.7 ha

3 Area of the territory under constructions 7.5 ha

4 Area of green zones 4.1 ha

5 Area of access ways (asphalt roads, railroads, paved land) 3.3 ha

6 Railroad length 0.672 km

7 Motor-roads length 2 km

„CAAN” JSC is situated in the industrial zone of Straseni just in 23 km to the North-West from Chisinau. This zone is in the North-East part from Straseni along the river Byk.

The territory of the enterprise is 14.8704 ha and is enclosed by a reinforced concrete fence. In the West and North-East the territory borders with other industrial enterprises, in the South and South-West there is a railroad Chisinau - Ungheni, in the East and South-East there is a territory supposed for the development of the industrial zone.

The highway Chisinau - Ungheni is in the West, in parallel with the railroad. There is an asphalt road of about 2.5 km in length from the highway to the enterprise, however the asphalt surface is badly damaged and requires capital repair, and namely a new layer of road coating. From this length, 0.8 km (5 760 m2) also requires a total replacement because of complete degradation of the asphalt concrete layer of the road coating and massive pits appearing on the road.

The company is connected with the railroad having its own railroad of about 0.672 km which is in a satisfactory condition. Wooden traverses were replaced for reinforced concrete ones. Loading ramp requires repair but, in general, it can be used. Cranes are in working condition.

Photo 3. Ramp and cranes

Construction of interior roads allows for the use of all types of automobiles (TIRs, high-tonnage trucks, etc.), however as other infrastructure objects they require works of reconstruction of road coating of ≈2 000 m long or having area of 10 000 m2.

Photo 4. Condition of internal roads

Electrical grid is in good condition, transformers have been recently repaired, and cable parameters allow using high capacity production facilities.

Water and sewage networks are in a deplorable condition. Potable water supply is possible from aqueduct Micauti, and technical water supply from the existing aqueduct. Pumping station of sewage network is damaged and requires total renovation of equipment and network. Atmospheric precipitation disposal network is in better condition, however it also requires capital repair.

In the past the enterprise had its own boiler station providing thermal energy to both the enterprise subdivisions and the town. Currently the boiler station is not longer controlled by the enterprise, it was transmitted to the mayor’s office and does not work now (is under insolvency procedure), so there is no centralized heating at the enterprise and in the town at all. At present the enterprise is connected to natural gas, pipelines being laid to centralized distribution blocks. Some companies operating on the territory of „CAAN” JSC have installed their own autonomous heating networks equipped with natural gas. Gas networks from the centralized distribution block to the building are installed by the companies which hold on lease the premises („Feralumin” LLC, „Mob-Elita” LLC, „Prodtehmet” LLC, „Masfrigcom” LLC, „Malidor Lux” LLC, „Brutaria Vianda” LLC, etc.)

Conclusions:

regarding infrastructure:

Taking into account the above stated situation, the conclusion about repair and upgrade of the following infrastructure objects has been made:

Internal roads (requiring capital repair and which can be made after closing the pits and provision of a new layer of road coating);

Water supply and sewage networks (which require to be changed, so, in the existing channels old objects will be removed and new ones will be installed);

and the heating system, which requires to be reconstructed .

Figure 18. The scheme of the territory of the enterprise with the main buildings

The main buildings are over 30 old, and during recent 20 years they have not undergone capital repair.

Taking into account the fact that the territory of the enterprise is along the Byk river , where underground waters come to the surface, all the buildings are built on pillar foundation to eliminate the risk of damaging them by underground waters.

Buildings are in a satisfactory condition. Roofs of the production blocks are made of strong metal trusses coated with profiled plates. At present all roofs are in a deplorable condition and require capital repair. The condition of walls is satisfactory, it requires just running repair. Also pavement of the production spaces is deteriorated and requires reparation or total replacement.

Production block No. 1:

4.2.2.2. Description of facilities and equipment

The list of long-term assets on the balance as of October 1, 2010 is presented in Annex 1.

All the facilities may be divided into several groups:

6 Transportation units 45 1979-1991 1 543 154 98 124 1 445 030 94

As it is seen from the table above, all the existing facilities are very old, depreciation being over 90%. Despite the fact most of the facilities are in a working condition, they are morally and physically depreciated, consume too much energy and are intended for very large volumes of production and require large exploitation expenses.

All the cranes are in a satisfactory condition, they can be fully used if necessary.

Conclusions:

Regarding production spaces the situation is the following:

Satisfactory condition of foundations, columns and beams or trusses.

Need of repair and partial consolidation of walls, while for thermal energy conservation, their replacement with thermal insulation panels of SANDWICH type which would also provide an aesthetic facade with minimum costs for future maintenance during exploitation.

Need of capital reconstruction of the roof, woodwork and floor as well as complete replacement of board coating with thermal insulation panels of SANDWICH type. Single-glazed metal windows should be replaced by double-glazed windows.

If necessary, in order to enlarge production or administrative areas and to diminish height of production spaces it is possible to construct second floor.

Page 53: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 53

If area expansion is not required, it is possible to mount a supplementary suspended ceiling which will allow diminishing the height of space and cutting costs for maintenance, heating, lighting, etc.

Regarding auxiliary administrative buildings the situation is the following:

Need of capital repair of premises with replacement of doors and windows, internal networks, floors and execution of finishing works.

Need to repair the roof (in this sense, a solution would be a roof carcass with two slopes and creation of spaces in attic which would enlarge administrative spaces).

Regarding facilities and equipment:

The situation in the table reflects an extremely high depreciation of the facilities and, accordingly, too high exploitation expenses. As regards cranes, they are in a satisfactory working condition, which means possibility of their use within the industrial park which will be created.

4.2.3. Operational diagnosis

At present the enterprise’s activity is related to the rent of production, auxiliary premises, available machines, facilities and equipment and sale of unused assets.

For the lease of production spaces a model contract has been developed which is concluded with each enterprise separately.

The contract stipulates responsibilities and rights of the parties, orders of payment as well as price for 1 m2 of production area making up 127.4 MDL/m2 annually. This is the lowest possible price calculated according to the annex 8 to the State budget for 2010 No.133-XVIII of 23.12.2009.

Non-production areas are offered for lease at 50% of the price of production areas.

The same contract explains the order of formation of the annual rental price for facilities – it makes up 10% of the residual value of the facility at the moment of the contract conclusion + 20 % VAT.

The contract also provides for resident enterprises’ support in legal, informational sphere, secretariat services and staff selection as well as guarding of resident enterprises’ objects. These services are included in the rental price.

4.2.3.1. The list of enterprises

Taking into account the fact that the main activity of the enterprise is lease of production areas and facilities, at present 33 enterprises are operating on the territory of „CAAN” JSC. They carry out the following types of activity:

4.2.3.2. Buildings

„CAAN” JSC was created for lending production areas, equipment, etc. In order to carry out these activities the enterprise has created a number of conditions:

Areas were divided into three categories – production areas, non-production areas and areas for responsible storage.

Payment is calculated differently depending on the type of the area.

Presently areas are only partially rented (Table 17. Total area and area of rented premises)

Although „CAAN” JSC was created for renting areas, the share of rented areas makes up only about 24%.

Moreover, rented production areas makes up only 19%, thus, use of the enterprise’s real estate at present is very reduced.

4.2.3.3. Equipment

According to the contracts, concluded with renting enterprises, they can also rent the available equipment. The annual sum of equipment rent makes up 10% of its residual value plus 20% VAT.

Enterprises can completely redeem this equipment at the residual price. The list of rented equipment is provided in Annex 2.

Having consolidated the information on equipment renting we can state that a reduced number of equipment is rented (the share of use by groups is reflected in the following table. Most requested are transport units and cranes (massive equipment being in a satisfactory working condition).

5 Other machines and equipment 0%

Conclusions:

At present the activity of 33 enterprises on territory of „CAAN” JSC according to the principles of industrial park is considered to be beneficiary for further use of this experience within the park.

Determination of the main directions of activity within the enterprises on the territory according to which it can be aimed at attracting potential resident enterprises: production and maintenance of freezing equipment, furniture production and auto and transport services and maintenance.

Existing experience of the enterprises on the territory referring to investments in real estate with a view to creating adequate working conditions for employees.

Incomplete use of production block No. 1, which is rented only at 17% mostly because of the unsatisfactory condition of the roof, too large production areas and absence of heating.

Incomplete use of production block No. 2, which is rented only at 43% because of the fact that non-production areas are rented (about 48%).

Incomplete use of administrative and sanitary blocks, which are rented at below 20% (mostly the first floor) and disuse of other floors.

The existing equipment (with the exception of cranes) cannot be considered as asset possible to be used by newly attracted enterprises.

4.2.4. Human resources and organizational structure

„CAAN” JSC was created for the use of production areas and equipment by means of their lease, organizational and legal support of renting enterprises and handling problems of general order (guarding, gas supply, access ways, etc.)

In order to perform these tasks, the following structure of the company was created:

Figure 19. Structure of „CAAN” JSC

4.2.4.1. Management and organizational structure

Executive management is performed by the Management Team headed by General Director (Manager). The enterprise has 32 employees, however, there is no well structured management team. Since the company is engaged only in renting spaces and equipment and some consulting activities, the structure of staff is corresponding – there are consultants in the field of: Construction, Equipment, Water-sewage systems.

The company management does not cover all the necessary functions – the positions of marketing and sales are totally absent.

4.2.4.2. Structure of human resources

Analyzing human resources structure by age we can state the share of staff over 45 years old makes up about 80%.

3 45-55 years old 13 39%

4 over 55 years old 14 42%

Total 33 100%

As it has been said the organizational structure is uneven. The majority of staff (management and consultants) has been working for a considerable period of time, in other words they have advanced experience and sufficient knowledge, but they do not have adequate motivation.

Level of education Number of people Share in total staff

1 Higher education 6 18%

2 Vocational school 7 22%

3 Secondary education 20 60%

Total 33 100%

The number of employees is practically unchanged. In order to save financial means the company applies part-time working schedule for some categories of staff (depending on the need). In these cases people work only 4 hours a day.

Payroll 686 596 829 660 474 700

Conclusions:

The presented data reflect the following situation:

Uneven distribution of positions and functions in the organizational structure, because of which it represented as unbalanced and unclear.

Absence of marketing and sales departments at the enterprise and, accordingly, absence of practice in the sphere.

Trend of the staff „aging” at the enterprise (average age of the staff is about 50 years old).

Insufficient material motivation of the staff (average monthly salary of up to 1700 MDL in 2010).

4.3. Commercial and marketing diagnosis

At the moment of the diagnostic analysis, there were no marketing and sales activities carried out in the enterprise actually. At the moment of „CAAN” JSC foundation, relevant information was placed in the Kompass information system, there was a number of TV shows on the national television (Mesager), however there is no activity of this kind now.

All promotion activities are nothing more than information which is spread by the people who are already working on the territory of the enterprise.

In such a situation we cannot count on a significant increase in the number of enterprises taking production areas on lease.

Conclusions:

Since within the company there are practically no marketing activities and activities of promotion of its services, the following conclusions are proposed to be taken into consideration:

Sale of services is performed by means of personal promotion methods, due to long-term relations existing between „CAAN” JSC and its regular customers and which for the most part have been established and maintained by personal support of Director of „CAAN” JSC.

Nevertheless, the opportunity to attract potential residents to the park and to increase the number of enterprises on its territory will allow launching and using promotion and marketing activities within the company, including by involving the staff in the field.

4.4. Economic and financial diagnosis

4.4.1. Balance sheet analysis

The most important factor of a company’s activity is the property it has. This property is reflected in assets the enterprise has. Further on we will perform the analysis of the enterprise’s balance as a major factor in determination of financial stability. Financial analysis is performed for the period of 2005-2009, the overview of the balance for this period is presented below:

Assets analysis. Analysis of the enterprise’s assets shows the value of assets in the amount of 25 878 013 MDL at the end of 2009, 1 085 330 MDL or 4% less as compared to the end of 2005 and 300 910 MDL (1%) less as compared to the end of 2008. This factor shows a dynamic development of the enterprise’s activities. The structure of assets in this period did not undergo significant changes, showing an insignificant decrease in long-term assets in relative terms - from 94.9% on 31.12.2005 to 94.7% (relative decrease by 0.02%) at the end of 2009. This decrease in long-term assets is compensated by the increase of relative share of current assets by 0.02% during the analyzed period, from 5.1% in 2005 to 5.3% in total assets in 2009. From financial point of view, there is a certain stagnation in the activity indicating that the enterprise, although having important assets, cannot develop its activity with positive development trend.

From the point of view of long-term assets structure, it is observed that the main components are:

Fixed assets (99.7%); Long-term investments (0.2%); Long-term assets in the course of execution (0.1%). As we can see, the main component of the balance sheet assets is specified by fixed assets of the enterprise which at the end of 2009 made up 87 607 660 MDL, with depreciation level of 72% or accumulated depreciation of 63 171 674 MDL. The structure of fixed

assets include: buildings (71.6%) with the most important book value (over 52% of building value) of block 1; special constructions (11.5%); transmission constructions (9.1%), machines and equipment (6%), transport units (1.8%). As it is seen, ”CAAN” JSC being a company dealing with assets lending, has a specific structure of balance, having important buildings (most of them, under current conditions, being in the last decade of depreciation calculation) which are rented to contracted enterprises. At the same time the enterprise also has a range of specific equipment as well as transport units, but their value is minimal either as a result of calculated depreciation or because they are completely depreciated, if not from physical point of view, then from moral one point of view.

Short-term assets at the end of 2009 made up 1 378 051 MDL which is by 153 168 MDL (1%) less as compared to 2005 and 0.1% as compared to 2008. In the structure of short-term assets at the end of 2009 prevailing positions refer to: short-term liabilities (50.4%); goods and raw materials stocks (48.4%); monetary funds (0.8%).

An insignificant value of current assets is due to the enterprise’s specific activity, while most liabilities are predominantly due to calculated rental rates, whose term of payment has not come yet, or liabilities resulting from the current rent debts of the lessees.

Analysis of liabilities. The enterprise’s liabilities represent the source of assets funding represented in the balance sheet by own and borrowed sources. Further on we will analyze changes in liabilities registered in the analyzed period of 2005-2009.

Own capital is of great importance in funding the enterprise’s assets, at the end of 2009 its share exceeded 99.5% making up the amount of 25 755 272 MDL.

As compared to the previous years in terms of absolute values of own capital the decrease by 591 785 MDL or 2% as compared to 2005, and decrease of 315 990 MDL or 1% as compared to 2008 is observed. From the point of view of share in total sources of funding, an increase by 1.8%, from 97.7% in 2005 to 99.5% at the end of 2009 is observed. Increased share of own capitals correlated with the share proportionally to fixed assets shows that financing of the enterprise’s activity is made according to generally accepted economic principles – long-term assets from long-term financial resources.

An essential part of own capital is due to authorized capital distributed in the form of shares, the value of which has remained unchanged during the whole analyzed period – 30 510 836 MDL.

Increased depreciation of fixed assets and need of significant expenses for their maintenance entails an identification of losses from the performed activity, the fact for which at the end of 2009 uncovered losses for the previous year made up - 5 124 384 MDL, respectively an increase in losses by 591 485 MDL or 13% increase as compared to the end of 2005.

Part of debt capitals consists exclusively of short-term debts which at the end of 2009 made up 122 741 MDL, including:

Debts to the staff (44%)

Debts to the budget (33%).

Insurance debts (21%).

From the point of view of dynamics, short-term debts show a significant decrease, by 80% within 5 analyzed years, from 439 545 MDL in 2005 to 122 741 MDL at the end of 2009, correspondingly an increase by 15 080 MDL or 14% increase as compared to the end of 2008.

4.4.2. Analysis of financial results

Evolution of financial results of ”CAAN” JSC within the analyzed period is marked by occurrence of the global financial crisis which has contributed to the registration of financial stability in the recent period (2008-2009).

In the course of the analyzed 5 years (2005-2009) it was observed that the sales revenues increased more than twice, from 949 thousand MDL in 2005 to 1 967 thousand MDL at the end of 2009, representing a beneficial factor for the enterprise’s activity. A favourable aspect of this positive dynamics is due to a slower dynamics of costs of sales which during 2005-2008 increased from 728 thousand MDL to 1 074 thousand MDL, a 1.47 times increase, leading subsequently to its decrease to the amount of 923 thousand MDL during 2009, an decrease by 146 133 MDL or 13.6% decrease as compared to 2009. Decrease in the cost of sales is explained not by a better effectiveness of the enterprise management but by transition of some categories of expenses to the category of „General and administrative expenses”, the fact that leads to the initial increase in gross profit, however, eventually the net result of the enterprise may have different dynamics.

The above listed premises have directly contributed to the obvious increase of the enterprise’s gross profit from 221 thousand MDL in 2005 to 1 039 thousand MDL at the end of 2009 (Figure 22. Dynamics of the financial results, ), indicating a 4.7 times increase during 5 analyzed years.

It should be mentioned that revenues of „CAAN” JSC within the analyzed period are reflected by incomes obtained from the lease of available fixed assets, mainly real estate and production equipment. Since the rental price for production equipment is calculated as 10% of the residual value plus VAT, and residual value is very low as a result of accumulated depreciation and obsolescence, much of incomes are obtained from the lease of the available real estate.

A small reflection of the sales revenue for lessees demonstrates that within 2008 they produced goods and provided services in the total amount of 25 mln. MDL, with sales for about 24 mln. MDL; during

2009 the volumes of production and sales significantly decreased to the amount of 12 ml MDL, and during first 9 months of 2010 this dynamics continued – sales making up a little higher than 3.6 mln. MDL. These aspects demonstrate an acute shortage of demand, of investments made and for a dynamic development it is necessary to create conditions more favourable for their activity.

The dynamics of the total financial results within 2005-2009 is reflected in the table below:

By the categories of expenses we can see a positive dynamics and in continuation – growth of general and administrative expenses which increased 1.9 times more from 749 thousand MDL in 2005 to 1413 thousand MDL at the end of 2009, respectively an increase by 315 588 MDL or 28.7% only in the last period (2008-2009). The dynamics of growth is due to the fact that available real estate and equipment of the company are depreciated, expenses for administrative staff and production areas maintenance are quite considerable, and without a re-evaluation of available assets and launch of new investment projects (such as industrial park creation), the activity of ”CAAN” JSC will support continuously growing administrative expenses.

Other operational expenses make up an insignificant share in the total expenses borne by the company, and their decrease during the analyzed period prove that all the company’s expenses are administrative ones.

Less favourable aspect of the activity of „CAAN” JSC is the fact that registration of increasingly high administrative expenses results in the registration of losses from the operational activity of the enterprise, losses which during 2005-2009 varied within 137 025 - 498 735 MDL, 2008 being the most favourable year, but whose positive effects were clouded by the global financial crisis.

All these previously reflected causes contributed to a registration of an unstable dynamics of the total financial result. If in 2005 losses made up 32 985 MDL, being significantly decreased on account of sales of the available assets (particularly equipment), so, absence of essential revenues from sales of the available assets led to their increase up to the amount of 323 thousand MDL in 2006, so that consequently, on account of extraordinary revenues obtained by the state, 2007 to be finished with a net profit of 46 mln. MDL. The positive dynamics was also maintained in 2008, but the financial economic crisis which essentially decreased possibilities of enterprises to rent fixed assets determined also the negative result in the amount of 331 thousand MDL.

Evolution of the financial results of „CAAN” JSC proves that without a restructuring and a reorientation of the activity, „CAAN” JSC cannot become a profitable company.

4.4.3. Analysis on the basis of financial indices

4.4.3.1. Liquidity ratios

Liquidity is an important factor in the activity of an enterprise for fulfilling current liabilities. Further on we will analyze liquidity ratios presented in the table below.

Table 25. Analysis of liquidity ratios of the enterprise

Total liquidity reflects possibility of the current assets belonging to the enterprise to be quickly transformed into liquidities necessary to satisfy due payment obligations. At the end of the analyzed period the value of the total liquidity ratio of the enterprise makes up 11,23, being over the recommended value. Also Figure 23. Dynamics of liquidity ratios of „CAAN”JSC proves a positive dynamics of this ratio, increased from 2,24 to 11,23 or more than in 5 times.

The intermediary liquidity ratio reflects the enterprise’s capacity to pay short-term debts without the need to sell out trading stocks and materials. According to the practice, recommended value is between 0.7-1. For the analyzed enterprise the given ratio is much above the recommended ratio (7.74 in 2008 and 5.75 in 2009).

Working capital in this period also shows an important increase from 763 thousand MDL in 2005 to 1 424 in 2008 so that its value during 2009 to be decreased to 1 255 thousand MDL. From the presented data we see 2 important aspects which should be mentioned: from the point of view of security and financial stability „CAAN” JSC can at anytime meet obligations of immediate payment, with the liquidation ratios confirming it; on the other hand, the net values registered above the recommended minimum indicate the fact that available means of the company are not re-invested, while their maintenance only diminishes the company’s possibility to generate profit.

The most important aspect of the analysis of liquidity ratios is the fact that their maintenance at rather high level is not because of the availability of cash resources but due to the absence of current debts, the enterprise timely paying off all payment obligations. Moreover, a large part of current assets represents the sums owed by lessees, the sums which are calculated but efficiently paid during the immediately following period.

4.4.3.2. Profitability ratios

Profitability represents the capacity of an enterprise to perform sales which exceed costs for their generation, activity costs. The set of relevant ratios describing the enterprise’s situation regarding efficiency is presented in Table 26. Return ratios.

Table 26. Return ratios

Influence of changes in sources of finance ori 0,00 0,00 0,00 0,00 0,00

Since the global financial result of the enterprise is reflected by losses of the management period, from the point of view of profitability, this situation seems to be rather difficult for „CAAN” JSC. The data reflected in the above table, negative ones from the point of view of represented figures again prove the need for the enterprise’s restructuring and its orientation on investment projects which can attract investors able to increase the value of the available fixed assets and can generate favourable final financial result.

Since the company’s assets slightly exceed the value of 25 mln. MDL, achievement of favourable financial results is the main goal of the activity of „CAAN” JSC.

4.4.3.3. Ratios of financial stability

Analysis of financial stability of „CAAN”JSC during the analyzed period shows a positively growing trend. This fact is proved by the analyzed ratios in the following table.

Table 27. Ratios of financial stability

Financial stability shows the degree of the enterprise’s dependence on the external financial sources and characterizes its capacity to fulfil current obligations.

The most important ratios characterizing this state is Autonomy Ratio. During the analyzed period the value of this ratio is continuously growing from 42.75 in 2005 to 209.83 in 2009 – the fact demonstrating persistent financial stability.

As well as the Autonomy Ratio, other ratios presented in the Table 27. Ratios of financial stability show positive and growing values, the fact characterizing financial stability of the enterprise at the end of the analyzed period.

The analysis of bankruptcy risk by means of Altman ratio for the analyzed enterprise shows the value of 0.54, which is below the level of 2.675 (when the enterprise is considered to be out of bankruptcy risk). The ratio value is determined by the negative return on assets, negative level of self-financing, reduced level of assets mobilization.

It should be mentioned that „CAAN” JSC has a very high level of financial stability. One of the indices reflecting this statement is provided by the coefficient of total payment capacity which is equivalent to the unit value – the explanation resulting from this is materialized in the fact that the enterprise’s assets are exclusively financed from its own sources of financing which, in the end, have the increased cost. In this sense, the share of own sources of financing is over 91% at the end of 2009 as compared to 55% in 2005 and 93% in 2008.

4.4.3.4. Analysis of rate of turnover

Analysis of the rate of turnover allows analyzing the efficiency of management of the enterprise’s assets and liabilities, which directly affects its financial situation. The turnover ratios in the analyzed period are presented in Table 28.

Rate of turnover of Total Assets at the end of 2009 shows the value of 0.08 which corresponds to a turnover period of 4 764, a more than double increase in the rate of turnover, accordingly a decrease of the period over 2.1 times. Slow dynamics of total assets renewal is due to the fact that the enterprise has important assets, but obtained revenues are too small to provide an added value from their use.

For the current assets the rate of turnover is 1.35 which corresponds to 266 days. This value has increased more than twice during 5 years of activity. Small values here are specific to a company whose activity is directed at leasing long-term assets.

Since the enterprise’s assets are mostly composed of long-term assets, the turnover ratios of current assets will have high net values, which analyzed separately, could indicate an efficient activity. However, from general point of view, these indices do not reflect the real situation because of correlation with the turnover ratios of long-tem assets, it can be observed that the company’s revenues are not sufficient to maintain the positive dynamics and ensure sustainable development.

4.4.3.5. Profitability analysis

Analysis of the profitability of the enterprise’s activity for the analyzed period of 2005-2009 shows the situation fluctuating from period to period.

Table 29. Profitability ratios

Denumirea poziţiilor u.m. 01.01.2006 01.01.2007 01.01.2008 01.01.2009 01.01.2010

Price index % -56% -35% -25% -10% -19%

Operational leverage % 1,0% 1,0% 1,0% 1,0% 1,0%

In terms of profitability, the situation of „CAAN” JSC is also not so favourable. In this sense, registration of losses from the performed activity proves inability of the enterprise’s management to profitably manage the activity and generate financial resources able to ensure a sustainable development of activities.

Conclusions:

At the end of this point we make a conclusion that having an important complex of fixed assets, although used, ”CAAN” JSC initially has favourable premises from the point of view of its transformation into industrial park, which will consequently allow for an essential increase in their value, since the industrial park will offer the facilities for the residents that will be operating on the territory. At the same time, an essential share of own means determine a high level of the company’s stability and high security before potential creditors or investors, certainly correlated with the high risks from the point of view of financial efficiency.

At the same time, it should be noted, gross profit increase rate during 5 analyzed years, which, however, has no major impact on the global result of the management period and which is mostly not because of a better efficiency of the enterprise’s management but due to transition of expenses to the category of „General and administrative expenses”, which caused by its increased share, conditions continuous losses of management activities per total.

Analyzed in terms of financial indicators, „CAAN” JSC shows beneficial situation regarding liquidity, the high level of which, in total, would offer increased opportunities of the company's management,

Page 69: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 69

however, in terms of investments, a too high liquidity leads to the premise of a less favourable management from the point of view of revenue production. A quite difficult situation is reflected in profitability ratios, the negative value of which again confirms the need for the company to be restructured and oriented at investment projects which can attract the investors able to increase the value of the available fixed assets and can generate a favourable final financial result. Moreover, the ratios reflect persistent bankruptcy risk within the whole analyzed period, determined by negative return on assets, negative level of self-financing, reduced level of asset mobilization. Against this background the positive point consists only in the total capacity of the enterprise assets’ payment, which are exclusively financed from own sources of financing.

A general conclusion regarding the general financial situation of the company refers to the fact that the constraints on the basis of which the enterprise’s management operates are not because of the lack of their knowledge but due to the fact that real estate and equipment of „CAAN” JSC has a high level of depreciation and obsolescence, resulting in a lower attractiveness for investment activities and, thus, is likely to generate relatively lower revenues. At the same time, the lack of public utilities such as sewage, heating system, significantly reduces the investment attractiveness, while in the course of total economic crisis, short-term benefits from the use of real estate and used production equipment cannot be achieved.

In order to ensure optimal profitability conditions and create premises for viable development it is required to redirect the activity of „CAAN” JSC by creating the industrial park which would allow combining production activities with increased possibilities to invest and attract foreign investments. Thus, the enterprise will be able to cover the expenses due to involvement of this flow of investments from outside and possibilities to create optimal conditions for activity of all the enterprises existing on the territory of „CAAN” JSC. Available real estate and equipment, if are renovated, could be used in various activities, and owing to this, the enterprise will be able to receive an added value to be used for creation of new development premises – which in the end will result in profit generation .

5. SCENARIOS OF THE INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENT

5.1. Determining the scenario for the industrial park development

The industrial park creation is conditioned by the need of industrial development of economy able to bring about optimization of production costs, obtaining quality and competitive products on the sale market, etc., while acceleration of investment processes in the country represents an adjacent effect.

Basic missions of the industrial park will be to create added value for its residents with direct effects

on the socio-economic environment. The industrial park as a model of functioning will suppose

creation of advantages for its residents.

An important factor for the industrial park creation is also availability of a prior unused area planned for the enterprise development by means of extension. In case of the park creation the area can be privatized according to the Law on industrial parks (No. 182 of 15.07.2010).

Figure 24. The scheme of location of „CAAN” JSC and the area proposed for the development

In case of industrial park creation it is possible to benefit from the facilities, stipulated in the legislation for both participating enterprises and newly attracted enterprises which will also benefit from the support on the part of the industrial park’s administration.

Taking into account the fact that „CAAN” JSC has been already operating as a non-formal industrial park, this situation has been taken into consideration when choosing the optimal scenario of the industrial park creation.

Scenario 1.

Industrial park is created according to the existing concept: enterprises may have any type of activity, new types of activities of newly attracted enterprises may also appear.

Managing enterprise (owner) invests in the park infrastructure and in capital repair of the buildings to eliminate drawbacks revealed within the study.

Creation of a modern infrastructure and adequate activity conditions for resident enterprises will allow for the rent price to increase about two times.

Completing the management team with marketing and sales departments and performing an efficient promotion of the industrial park will allow for an increase in the number of enterprises operating within the industrial park and the use of all available areas.

These two components will increase the revenues from renting spaces from about 2 mln. MDL annually, obtained within recent years up to about 20 mln. MDL annually (provided that all the available areas are used).

Scenario 2.

This scenario will suppose creation of the industrial park with the existing activities, new activities on the part of the resident enterprises and the activity, related to construction and lease of freezing equipment by the managing enterprise.

In this context it is proposed to construct a modern refrigerator for fruit and vegetable storage and a packing house. The refrigerator will be placed in production block No.1, planned square -14.4 thousand m2. In the same block there will be the packing house with the area of 10.0 thousand m2. Together they will make up a modern logistics centre, providing an efficient support to farmers in storing, preserving and selling fruit, vegetable, berry, grape products etc. At the same time refrigerating areas can be offered for lease to other interested economic entities.

In this case investments will be related not only to infrastructure and capital repair but also to construction and equipping the logistic centre.

According to the scenario 2, sources of incomes for the owner will result from both activities: lease of areas (with investments and provisions from the scenario 1) and activity of new production.

At the same time, the enterprises existing on the territory keep their areas and their activity’s profile, while potential residents can have activities from the refrigerating branch as well as other industrial activities and services rendering.

Scenario 3.

The industrial park is created according to the type of development of the regional cluster.

Creation of the industrial park for the regional cluster supposes the concentration of activities on the whole line of value chain within a single sphere: production, installation and maintenance of freezing equipment. It will include the activities: raw material processing, production itself, installation, maintenance and repair of the equipment, research-innovation and training of specialists in the field.

Taking into account the fact that in the past the enterprise was intended for the production of such kind of equipment, the scenario is quite attractive. However, at present, there are no companies which produce freezing equipment, activities are limited to repair and adjustment to the local conditions of the corresponding used equipment brought from Europe as well as installation and maintenance of new modern equipment.

With a view to consolidating these activities it is necessary to invest in the creation of a company on assembling modern freezing equipment on the territory of the enterprise and its sales both on the

territory of Moldova and in neighboring countries, such as Ukraine, Russia, etc. This assembly line can be installed in Block 1.

Enterprises which are not related to the selected profile can continue to operate on the territory of „CAAN” JSC in case if they are not situated on the territories intended for the cluster. Otherwise they can be placed on other areas available on the territory or removed from within the industrial park.

Within the park, business infrastructure as well as favorable model of cooperation among the residents will be created. Thus, the principle of industrial clusters will work within the industrial park. The initiative of their development represents a new way of organizing efforts for economic development which are not limited to the traditional efforts of business costs reduction and general business environment improvement. At the same time, the residents of the industrial park will be also involved in the model of the clusters functioning. The efforts which are concentrated on the conglomerate will attract an interest and a broader involvement on the part of the involved companies.

Besides, with the business diversity which will be developed on the territory of the industrial park, it is useful to create a business incubator for the benefit of all interested residents.

Business incubator is a structure specialized on the creation of favorable, sustainable environment for emerging and efficient activity of innovative small and medium enterprises with development potential which implements original technical ideas.

The main goal of the business incubator is efficient support for those planning creation of own business especially at the initial stage. Entrepreneur can be completely concentrated on the business idea, since all the problems related to business maintenance are supported by the incubator. This also allows for considerable decrease in business administrative costs.

The positive result is the creation of new jobs within the business incubator and efficient development of innovative industries.

Who can participate in the incubator: the enterprise which may request incubation should meet some principal common conditions: to be a new and/or innovative business, to be a private enterprise which has been carrying out a new and/or innovative production activity for less than 2 years, to be an enterprise developing a technology transfer, businesses, accordingly enterprises, contributing to local, regional or national development, to create new jobs, to have financial capacity to pay for the requested services.

For efficient development and operation of residents of the industrial park regardless of the applied scenario, it is proposed to authorize within the park a customs control zone for the clearance of imported/exported goods both by road and rail transport which can represent an opportunity for business environment of Centre region of the Republic of Moldova. In this sense, „CAAN” JSC is ready, on the basis of existing properties, to create a logistics centre with the areas intended for store-houses and offices for offering of the whole set of customs services (customs stations, customs brokers, auxiliary services, branches (representations) of banks, which will serve economic entities (temporary storage warehouses, storehouses) and which is equipped with the mechanism of goods charging-discharging both at railroad and from trucks.

In order to compare the scenarios described above it is proposed to take into account a number of criteria which we consider to be important for the choice of optimal frameworks of carrying out of activities in the planned industrial park, which are the following:

Resources (local raw material resources, productive capacity, equipment and technologies, infrastructure and facilities, staff qualification, organizational system)

Market (industries planned in the region and on the Republican level, export potential of the planned industries)

Related industries (suppliers and industries interacting with the planned industry within the park)

A competitive advantage would be the creation of business incubator and existence of all products and services of value chain in the same place.

Positive effects

Requires minimum volume of investments (creation of infrastructure and capital repair of buildings).

Due to product diversification, related industries will also grow and there will be even distribution of these within the economy of the region.

Growth of the potential for attraction of foreign investments resulting from the diversification of types of activity of the resident enterprises.

Reduction in the period of launching new enterprises due to their quick inclusion in the organizational structure and already existing cooperation.

Minimization of the risk of dependence on certain directions of specialization in case of supply and demand fluctuations on the market.

Stress on diversification will increase the need of specialists and qualified workers.

Increase in the number of resident enterprises will increase the number of jobs in the park and, accordingly, will reduce unemployment rate.

Positive effects from scenario 1 are valid (with the exception of the volume of investments).

The owner will have two separate sources of incomes – lease and production activity.

Due to the creation of production activities – storage, preservation and sales of packed fruits and vegetables, related industries (fruit and vegetable cultivation) will have a considerable impetus for sustainable development.

Production activities:

will use the existing areas with higher return for a service which is presently in great demand

provide the local market with quality domestic food products throughout the year.

will raise potential for export of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables from Moldova.

Creation of the logistic centre will enhance the image of republic on the international arena.

Positive effects from scenario 1 are valid (with the exception of the volume of investments).

Creation of the business incubator will allow for the acceleration of the processes of starting businesses from the cluster.

Creation of the whole value chain will essentially increase the cumulative potential of the industrial park.

Creation of an assembly line of modern freezing equipment will give the possibility to have modern freezing equipment at lower prices.

Stress of quality will increase the need in specialists in the field.

In case of emerging of local competitors as well as in case of imported goods there is competitive advantage of offering a complete range of activities totally covering the value chain in the branch.

Negative effects

Risk of failure to quickly find investors and resident enterprises

Risk of occurrence of administrative and corporate conflicts among existing and newly attracted enterprises.

Development of administrative red-tape due to the existence of a single control body of the managing enterprise.

Risk of insufficient financial resources (The necessary volume of investments is larger than it is specified in scenario 1)

Risk of failure to quickly find investors and resident enterprises

Risk of occurrence of administrative and corporate conflicts among existing and newly attracted enterprises, as

Specialization will determine concentration on very high quality and, by default, increase in need to purchase expensive imported modern technology .

Specialization referred exclusively to one sphere may lead to failure to find sufficient suppliers and customers, as well as to find qualified staff for all long-term activities of the value chain. Extension of the period of new

well as risk of occurrence of conflicts of interests in the managing enterprise (the same owner, various activities, various priorities).

Lack of sufficient resources from the state for the creation of the necessary infrastructure.

Development of administrative red-tape due to the existence of a single control body of the managing enterprise

enterprises’ attraction in the park due to complex organizational and legal procedures of nonconforming enterprises.

Slow use of the existing areas due to the long process of releasing areas by nonconforming enterprises.

Great risk of dependence only on one direction in case of economic slowdowns.

Risk of failure to quickly find investors and resident enterprises

Development of administrative red-tape due to the existence of a single control body of the managing enterprise.

5.2. Selection, analysis and substantiation of the optimal scenario

After comparison of the 3 proposed scenarios, it is determined that appropriate choice is scenario 2 - creation of the industrial park with the existing activities, new activities on the part of the resident enterprises and the activity related to construction and renting of freezing equipment by the managing enterprise – justified by the increase in beneficial effects for the present enterprises from the territory, increase in positive effects upon the region, decrease in negative ones, and presence of a higher potential of resources for the implementation of this type of scenario as compared to other two variants.

In case of impossibility to implement scenario 2 for various reasons, the existing concept will be developed according to scenario 1.

Even if choosing optimal scenario there are some risks in the creation of the industrial park which can be eliminated according to the methods described in the table below.

5.3. Sales market for production activity:

Thus, in this context, first of all we reflect the sales market for production activity of the managing enterprise as follows.

Since Moldova is situated in a moderate climate zone and has fertile soils, traditionally agriculture of the republic is focused on fruits, vegetables and grapes.

The market of fruits, vegetables and grapes of the Republic of Moldova is characterized by evident seasoning. The period of harvest in the country begins in May and lasts until October, when last apples and grapes are harvested. Thus, Moldova is a fruit, grape and vegetable supplier only during warm season of the year, and only during these seasons important amounts of fruits are exported abroad.

Pomiculture is one of the main branches of agro-industrial complex. Covering just 6-7% of the area of arable lands of the republic, pomiculture within recent two decades has been constantly producing about 20% of monetary incomes from selling agricultural products. At present, development of pomiculture in the Republic of Moldova consists in efficient use of the existing orchards with unexhausted potential and their subsequent replacement with new orchards of highly intensive type, with a modern assortment and advanced technologies which ensure early harvesting (in the second year), high yield of fruits during fructification period (40-45 ton/ha), required quality and competitiveness in the domestic and external markets.

During 2004-2009 Moldovan fruit exports recorded huge fluctuations. 2009 was marked with a record figure of fruit export (229 thousand tonnes) with total value of 136 mln. USD. The lowest level of export was registered in 2008 (127 thousand tonnes) mostly caused by drought of the previous year as well as customs restrictions of that period.

Main export countries include CIS countries (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine), receiving about 84 % of the total Moldovan fruit export. In 2009 Russia was the most important export country for Moldova during the last 6 years (183 thousand tonnes of fruit), where 80% of the total fruit export were delivered. Other export countries were France, Greece, Turkey, where exports during 2004-2009 were practically stable. At the same time we should mention the rate of growth of fruit exports to such countries as Germany, Italy, especially in 2009. Export to Romania decreased by 75% as compared to 2004.

Disadvantages of Moldovan exporters are reflected in inadequate calibrating, sorting and packing. Problems connected with supply, low quality and heavy competition imposed by suppliers from such countries as Poland, China, Italy, Greece (able to offer products of the same quality at lower prices) represent serious obstacles for Moldovan exporters that make efforts to penetrate this market segment.

Viticulture is also a main branch of agriculture. The Republic of Moldova is on the 19th place in the world by the volume of annual grape production, according to the latest data (of 2007) of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

In the RM there are programs of support for pomiculture and viticulture support, which in different ways support the development of these fields.

The largest grape producer is Italy - over 8.5 mln. tonnes of grapes annually, followed by France (6.5 mln) and China (6.3 mln). On the other hand, the largest table grape purchaser is the USA, with imports of 595 thousand tonnes annually, followed by Russia - 407 thousand tonnes and Germany – 306 thousand tonnes (the two last are very attractive for the RM). The Republic of Moldova exports only 20 thousand tonnes of table grapes, being in 20 top exporters of these products. Moldovan producers’ export prices, however, are two or even three times less than those of their main competitors.

Table grape consumption continuously grows and it especially intensifies during cold seasons of the year when the current harvest decreases in household production. Therefore, there appears the need for collection and fresh-keeping of grapes for their sale during deficiency of these products on the market. At present in Moldova out of 110 thousand ha of vines in harvest only about 5% are of table sorts. Out of these about 8 000 ha are given to table sort „Moldova”. More than 80% of areas with table sorts are aged, average annual harvest per hectare being only 1.5 tonnes instead of 4.5-5 tonnes.

Vegetable growing in Moldova is characterized by instability but has a trend to grow. In Moldova vegetables are mostly cultivated on the open ground. During recent years vegetable growing in protected areas (greenhouses) by using modern technologies has been widely spread. But farmers’ incapacity to preserve the harvest does not allow maintaining adequate profitability and does not allow for steady supply of the products to the market. For this reason vegetable import has been already prevailing over the export from Moldova for a long period time and preserves a descending trade balance.

During 2004-2009 Moldova exported about 114 thousand tonnes of vegetables in the total value of 28.4 mln. USD. Within last 2 years export considerably decreased. The main countries of vegetable export during the last 6 years were Belarus, Romania, Russia, with about 50% of the total volume of exports. Other export countries for Moldova were Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, Estonia, France, Germany. The highest export volumes were registered with Belarus in 2006 and 2007 (5274 and 5310 tonnes respectively). Largest transactions take place in season, since Moldova has no adequate capacities for extra-seasonal production.

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 79

At the beginning of 2008 the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, National Refrigeration Association (NRA) and the Agribusiness Development Project (ADP) carried out a study of cold storages of the Republic of Moldova intended to preserve fruit and vegetables. The study provided updated results on the similar activities undertaken by these three structures at the end of 2004.

Analysis of refrigerators in the RM.

The study identified 187 cold storages with a total capacity of 178 740 conventional tonnes (recalculated for apples). This figure constitutes an increased of 14 390 tonnes (9%) as compared to 2004, when 161 cold storages with a capacity of 164 350 tonnes were indentified.

Despite the modest, though positive, increase of the total capacity, a significant increase in the operational cold storage capacity was identified (+14 330 tonnes or 23%). This increase was largely the result of the construction of 19 new cold storages during 2005-2007, with a total capacity of 10 350 tonnes.

In the central zone of the country, 76% of the identified facilities are classified as „operational” or „partially operational”, compared to 57% in the Southern and Northern zones. Construction of new cold storages is more intensive in the Central zone (2 900 tonnes) as compared to the Northern zone (2 540 tonnes) and the Southern zone (1 200 tonnes). The analysis of the received data shows that the main products passing through the cold chain are apples (63%) followed by grapes (22%). Very few cold storages (<10%) processed two or more products.

Figure 25. Use of cold storages

Source: The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, National Refrigeration Association and the Agribusiness Development Project . Study of cold storages in the Republic of Moldova. 2008.

The focus on a single product, coupled by the situation when cold storages do not have raw materials in their area of location and limited access to the information on the spaces which can be rented, inevitably leads to a very low degree of capacity utilization (average – 32%). Considering that in all parts of the country there is the possibility to handle a full conveyor of products, and capacity utilization is attainable.

At the same time, the reduced degree of capacity utilization does not mean absence of products. Thus, it is estimated that less than 55% of the volume of exported grapes was included in the cold chain. While for apples this index is estimated at 27% at most. If we take into consideration that some of the products from the cold storage are sold on the local market, then the share of products which pass through the cold chain is reduced to 13, respectively, 16%. For other products, such as stone fruits, berries and vegetables, the situation is even more unfavorable.

A large number of the cold storages do not have suitable access roads and they lack continuous water supply and sewage systems, which are essential for meeting international food safety requirements. Only 5 cold storages have certified food safety management systems (HACCP or ISO 22000) and only two companies hold GlobalGAP certificates.

For the last 10-15 years, the main cold storage activity in the Republic of Moldova was storing fresh products for a 3-4 month period in order to benefit from higher out of season prices. Most products

were delivered to market segments of lower value of the CIS countries, being sorted and packed manually in an inadequate way. At the same time the EU market and other segments of the CIS countries market (especially due to fast development of supermarkets network) require consolidation of farm fresh products in homogeneous lots that do not need to be sorted and packed in the importing countries.

Since the state of existing cold storages demonstrate: unjustified attempts to minimize investment costs, insufficient thermal and hydro-isolation, doors that do not ensure chamber air tightness, lack of humidifiers and sufficient cooling capacity necessary for freezing systems, the market situation reflects the following trends:

Inability to maintain optimum temperature and relative humidity regime

Increased electric energy expenditures

Expensive cold storage operational costs

At the same time, a clear general trend of converting to Freon-using cooling systems was observed, while the share of Ammonia-using systems decreased dramatically. At the same time, EU regulations clearly establish the necessity to convert to environment-friendly cooling agents (ammonia, water, carbon dioxide, propane, etc.). Thus, the risk of losing specialists in the domain of facilities with environment-friendly agents is obvious, and it will generate high conversion costs in 15-20 years. Moreover, a large number of the cold storages do not have suitable access roads, lack continuous water supply and sewage systems, which will significantly encumber the implementation process of the international food quality and safety standards.

As to cold storage equipping the situation on the market of the RM looks in the following way:

1. There are only 2-3 cold storages which have sorting lines;

2. There are only 3 -4 cold storages with the systems of fast freezing (precooler);

3. There are only 3-4 cold storages which have the lines of carton box formers according to the international standards (tray former);

4. There are only 3 cold storages which have CA/ULO atmosphere control systems.

Besides, due to the fact that according to the scenario 2 (optimum) it is planned to have a packing house near the cold storage, it would be appropriate to analyze the following advantages of this activity, which will directly affect the analyzed market (Table 35).

Table 35. Advantages of packing house.

Characteristics: Result/advantage:

Consolidation of available volumes of fruits

and vegetables

Application of modern technologies of sorting,

storage and packaging

Scale economies during materials

procurement and products sales

Manner of informing farmers regarding market demands

Access to market segment with application of

modern trade formats

Higher prices for delivered production

Lower operating costs without prejudicing

profitability of agricultural producers

Operative adjustment of production activity to

market demands

Thus, construction of the cold storage and a packing house will allow for the sale of products not only on the local market but also for export. The end consumers focus on naturalness, while importers

focus on a longer time of the products preserving. The focus can be made both on CIS countries and Europe.

Factors which determine the consumers to increase fruit and vegetable consumption during winter are the following: numerous changes in the economy, deterioration of general ecological conditions, change in living system and consumer’s awareness. The factor that determines the choice of fresh fruits and vegetables in favor of processed ones is beside the increase in prices for processed products, the latter loses qualitative tastes and vitamin contents. Another factor in favor of fresh fruits and vegetables to be chosen by the end consumer is fast preparation and use for food.

5.4. Identification of potential resident enterprises

Resident enterprises can be divided into four categories for the industrial park which will be created on the territory of „CAAN” JSC:

A. Enterprises which will use refrigerating areas and services of packing house provided by the managing enterprise. The cold storage will be placed in the production block 1 with the capacity of 30 thousand tonnes with the following dimensions: area - 14 400 m2, volume- 155 520 m3

Specialization of the companies from this category – storage and preservation of fruits, vegetables, berries, table grapes, etc.

B. Current enterprises, with a division of specialized companies into refrigerating direction and other companies which, if necessary, may be transferred to other production areas.

C. New enterprises, the activities of which will be determined according to the value chain (production, repair, installation, maintenance of freezing equipment).

D. New enterprises with other types of activities, for the full use of the available spaces.

5.5. Identification of the sources of financing

Taking into account that during implementation of the present project – Feasibility study of industrial park creation at “CAAN” JSC from Straseni – the owner has been changed and at the auction of December 7, 2010 the share of the state was sold to a private investor, therefore, the financing for creation of the industrial park from the state resources becomes inappropriate.

The sources of financing for the creation of the industrial park’ infrastructure can be determined in the following way:

Option 1. Own sources of the owner

Option 2. Own sources and sources from sales of real estate which is not important for the industrial park development

Option 3. Own sources and borrowed sources

Option 4. External investments (foreign and/or local, on the part of potential residents and/or non-resident investors interested in the park’s activity, as well as from obtained unrecoverable funds such as grants)

Table 36. Comparison of options of financing.

accessing to bank credit.

sources from residents;

observance of the assumed conditions;

- Risk of failure to attract a sufficient number of residents or residents with poor financial capacity;

- Risk of failure to identify non-residents interested in the park development

Financing of technical and production infrastructure of the industrial park as well as modernization of

its utilities directly depends on the scenario selected for the park creation.

Conclusions: In order to ensure the optimal scenario development frameworks, the variant of

financing from own sources of the owner and from the sources borrowed by him (Option 3) is

considered to be efficient (as it is demonstrated in calculations of financial forecasts). In this case the

borrowed capital will make up about 37% of the amount of investments (see chapter 7 of the present

study).

If variant of financing from own sources of the owner and from the sources borrowed by him (Option

3) cannot be implemented, all the possible options will be applied at the stage of implementation.

5.6. Organization of the industrial park’s activity

With the view to implementing the project of the industrial park creation and proceeding from scenarios and options identified as optimal, we can conclude the Administrator of the industrial park will be represented by “CAAN” JSC, the shareholders of which are private individuals and legal entities of private law.

In order to ensure the functionality of the industrial park, the park’s Administrator will receive the right to use the area, within which the industrial park will be operating. This requires the industrial park’s Administrator to file an assignment application to Straseni Local Council regarding the lease of the area and on the basis of the assignment decision of the Local Council a contract of lease should be concluded with the Mayor’s office of Straseni. The term of the contract of lease should be not less than the period for which the industrial park is created, that is 30 years (the conditions for the area transmission will be determined by the owner of the corresponding area).

Upon approval of the scenario of the industrial park’s activity, various categories of areas should be delimited depending on their further use:

Areas intended for production activity,

Areas intended for production activities and maintenance of freezing equipment

Areas intended for other production activities (furniture production, non-standard equipment, etc.)

Areas intended for offices, other types of activities (services, trade, IT, or other adequate activities, areas intended for customs control zone).

Activities of rendering IT services represent an opportunity since this sector is currently growing. At the same time, since the region has new specialized human capital and it is near to Chisinau, it allows for an adequate use of the administrative areas of the enterprise for the development of this type of activity.

At the initial stage of the industrial park’s activity, models of cooperation among the residents will be established. If necessary, some current residents may be transferred to other available areas to release the areas for planned activities. Adequate placement of the industrial park’s residents will be arranged by its Administrator as a result of specific nature of the activities carried out by the economic entities. The managerial team will be headed by the director of the managing enterprise. The activity of the managing enterprise, including at the initial stage of the industrial park creation is classified by the following activities:

Ensuring of reconstruction and modernization of the existing spaces and their lease (for existing and newly attracted residents );

Ensuring of construction and lease of spaces of freezing equipment for agro-food products preservation;

Activity of sorting and packing houses for vegetables and fruits;

Consulting services (juridical, accounting, etc.).

Services within customs control zone.

For the management of the industrial park’s activities, it is appropriate to reorganize the organizational structures existing in „CAAN” JSC into organizational structure of the managing enterprise (the figure below). The staff of the managing enterprise is planned to be about 40 people.

Creating an effective industrial park needs attracting resident companies for most efficient use of available space.

In order to achieve this goal, broad information on creation of the park's, its fields of activity, benefits for resident companies, participation conditions for new companies, etc. is needed.

The information campaign includes the following activities:

Developing and publishing an informational booklet about the industrial park ,

Placing appropriate information in the media (advertising in newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, etc.) ,

Development of the park presentation for beneficiaries and authorities,

Presentation of information within various specialized meetings, to local authorities, concerned ministries etc.,

Development of a web-site and its promotion,

Promotion of the park at specialized exhibitions (e.g. Made in Moldova, Agroteh, etc.) both in Moldova and at international (branch) exhibitions,

Development of basic principles for the industrial park participants (type of activity, requirements towards participants, etc..),

Direct information delivery to companies, which could be included in the park,

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 91

The activities will be carried out consistently throughout the entire period of the industrial park construction, until the completion of the available park areas available with appropriate resident companies and in case of the need to attract new residents with specific parameters.

7. FINANCIAL AND INVESTMENTAL DIAGNOSIS

7.1 Estimation of the necessary volume of investments

Creation of any industrial park provides for the allocation of additional funds to create related facilities or new investments in infrastructure designed to generate additional income from use and ultimately create added value.

The data presented in chapter 2 of the study shows that "CAAN" JSC has a vast set of buildings in a more or less good condition.

Based on the assumptions that the total area of buildings makes up about 75 000 m2 distributed mainly as follows: Building 1 – 34 560 m2 Building 2 – 10 454 m2 Building 3-6 718 m2 Administrative Building – 5 760 m2 Other buildings – 17 455 m2.

Most of the investment will target the restructuring of production capacities based on the optimum scenario for which a complex of positive effects was identified with immediate positive impact on the economic and social environment.

Overall analysis of the assets of "CAAN" JSC reveals that around 17 700 m2 out of the available area are subject to land lease contract with the companies currently working on these areas and that will become residents of the new industrial park.

For the efficient use of available spaces, it is proposed to create a mega-complex with a cold storage with a capability of 30 000 tonnes of fruit an area of 14 400 m2. At the same time, in order to ensure full service and necessary for future tenants of the cold store rooms, it is proposed to build rooms for sorting and packing fruit and vegetables. The space needed to set up the packing house (room) will make up 10 080 m2, and all will be created in the main building no. 1 that is the largest one (Lxlxh = 144x240, 8x10, 8 m).

Investments in creation of cold storage buildings, based on projected area, amounts to 9 million EURO given the fact that the estimates of expenses for purchasing the entire set of machinery and refrigerating machinery, make up an average of 300 EURO per square meter (Tables below, and Annex 4. ).

Table 41. Investment structure

Investment objectives Area (m2) Total investment

Investment in construction of the refrigerator, including 14 400 €9 000 000

cold store machinery €5 400 000

cold store machines €3 600 000

Investment in the construction of a packing house, including 10 080 €3 265 920

Machinery for packing house €1 959 552 packaging machines €1 306 368

Investing in creating utilities (road, sewerage, water, gas, etc. .) €1 111 247

Investing in repair of building 50 020 €14 217 109

Total €27 594 276

In order to create the complex of rooms for the operation of packing houses it is foreseen to provide an allocation of 3 265 920 EURO taking into account the fact that packing houses do not need cold storage complexes and specific storage technologies, about 40% of expenses are made for the purchase of equipment for sorting and packaging fruits.

The created cold store facilities are factors that can contribute to achieving the main goal for which industrial parks are built - creation of an industrial sector in Moldova's economy which shall contribute to sustainable development of the gross domestic product by developing export-oriented production. At the same time, these investments need to be supported by additional costs in creating internal and external utilities of the industrial park.

A very important component of future activity of the park is renovation of all remaining available areas (which would occupy an area of about 50 020 m2). According to preliminary calculations, the renovations would amount to 14 217 109 EURO, which equates the total estimated costs of about 4 500 MDL / m2. (estimate of expenditure see Annex 3).

13 Heating systems p 10 330,00 3 300,0

14 Land management 300,0

15 Designs and expertise works 21,65

Total 343 140

A specification that may be mentioned is the fact refers to the fact that the amount of 97 886 600 MDL reflected as expenses for the repair of the Building 1, will not be considered since the construction of cold storage rooms will be carried out in this building, and this amount is already included in investment costs.

The fourth component of investments in the park’s activity aims its proper use. At the same time, creation of utilities is a component required by applicable law on creation of industrial parks, component that provides for a contribution of government authorities limited to investment budgets for the related region or field. Creation of the network of park-related internal and external roads, better to say their renovation, creation of a water supply system and a sewage treatment plant are urgently needed for the activity of the industrial park since attracting strategic investors for both park administrator and for the entire economic region or zone is a necessary condition in the context of creating the industrial park.

Finally, it should be noted that investment in the industrial park created within the territory of “CAAN” JSC amounts to 27 594 276 EURO.

Given the necessary investments to be made and the need to allocate them in a relatively short period of time, they will be made in stages:

Stage I

Spring - summer 2011

The construction of the cold storage complex and of the packing house on 50% of the area foreseen for these facilities, would allow storage of 15,000 tons of fruit during the season of 2011- 2012.

Page 93: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 93

Creation of utilities and repair of buildings. Based on the assumptions related to the fact that investment in the repair of buildings and available facilities will attract more investors, it is expected that about 65% of these expenses will be made during the year 2011, and the remainder will be completed during the year 2012.

Stage II

Spring - summer 2012

It is expected to expand cold store capabilities up to 30 000 tonnes of fruit, coupled with an extension of the packing house facilities, so that beginning with the season of 2012-2013 the managing company of the industrial park could be able to operate at maximum capability.

These stages and their contents may change, given the financial vision and possibilities of the managing company.

7.2 Financial Plan

7.2.1 Forecast of the managing enterprise income

The optimal scenario recommended for the operation of the industrial park involves a direct effect on the future activity of the managing company of the industrial park "CAAN" JSC.

The income of the managing company of the industrial park will be established based on 4 basic activities (Annex 7. Forecast operational income (VAT including)

*Amounts are estimated only for consulting services because of the lack of data for other types of services.

1. Income from real estate leasing (See

Annex 6. Income from lease of available spaces )

Currently, "CAAN" JSC has leased about 17 700 m2 of its total space of 74 500 m2. Of the remaining space, 24 480 m2 will be occupied by the cold storage complex and the packing house, while the area of park administration will cover about 1000 m2. This would amount to an area of about 31 000 m2

available for leasing.

The lease payment for the park residents will vary based on the following categories:

- for existing companies the lease payment will amount 250 MDL / m2 per year, following a growth trend of 5% annually for each year.

- for new attracted companies a price of 300 MDL / m2 per year will be set, which will follow a growth trend of 5% annually.

The proposed minimum price of 250 MDL / m2 per year was estimated for the following reasons: according to the study of the market of industrial space lease, it was identified that the price for such services in the towns of the republic (Straseni, Calarasi, Cahul, Ungheni) falls between 1.3 to 1.6 EURO/m2 per month, or 250-307 MDL / m2 per year. This price may be paid provided that an adequate infrastructure of company is created (roads, water, sewage, etc.). The increase in price must be directly related to the conditions created for resident companies.

Classification in categories of residents takes into account the fact that current companies have already invested in the infrastructure of real estate, due to which these spaces will not be subjected to renovation. Other available spaces will be leased to the extent they will be repaired and restored.

For the year 2012 a level of 40% of available spaces occupation is expected, and in the following years these spaces will be completed up to 100%. In this respect, the income from available spaces leasing will exceed 8.1 million MDL for the year 2011, 14.4 million MDL for the year 2012 reaching 21.3 million MDL at end of the year 2020. In terms of categories, this income will be relatively distributed in 32% of revenues from space leasing for existing companies and the other 68% being revenues from spaces leasing to new attracted companies.

2. Revenues from refrigerator and operation of packaging (See Annex 5. Provision of fruits storage and sorting services in the industrial refrigerator)

As mentioned in previous paragraphs, the maximum storage capacity of refrigerators will make up 30 000 tonnes of fruit (apples), volume that will be available at maximum capacity in late 2012. In this regard, the price for storage of fruits and vegetables will focus on an average price of 0.30 bani / kg per month.

Taking into account that a volume of 15 000 tonnes of fruit will be available in autumn 2011, revenues from the operation of refrigerators will be available by the end of August 2011 when harvesting of apples and other fruits likely to be stored in the refrigerator will start.

Refrigerator operation is scheduled for a period of 10 months each year, sanitation and restoring works will take place in April - May - June, or within a 60 day period between these three months. During summer early fruits and vegetables will be stored in the refrigerator that have a relatively short storage period (usually two months), which will allow obtaining revenues during summer. In

Page 95: Feasability Study CAAN_english

Feasibility Study on Industrial Park Creation on the territory of „CAAN” JSC, STRASENI

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 95

this regard, for 2011 revenues from cold store spaces will make up 20.2 million MDL, following an increase of up to 51.9 million MDL in 2012, 91.4 million MDL respectively at the end of 2020.

With reference to the operation of sorting and packing house for fruits and vegetables, currently forecast takes into account only the amount of stored fruits given the maximum cold store capabilities. The pessimistic forecast of these revenues determines an average price for sorting and packaging in the amount of 50 MDL per kg, which would generate a sales volume of 1.1 million MDL from this activity at the end of 2011, 12.6 million MDL respectively in 2012 and increased up to 34.9 million MDL at the end of 2020 correlated with an annual growth of 5% for provision of the respective service.

3. Income from providing consulting and other services

Income from the company’s consulting activity focuses on provision of the respective services provided mainly to industrial park residents. These services are focused on technical consulting services, accounting services, various legal services or others as well. A pessimistic forecast of these services would indicate a sales volume of about 150 000 MDL per year, which will reach 232 700 MDL at the end of 2020.

7.2.2 Forecast of expenses of the managing enterprise

The activity of the managing company is given by its specificity - the company uses huge spaces for leasing to the industrial park residents. This activity is crucial and involves a specific assignment of expenses (see Annex 8. Forecast consumption and expenses (VAT including).

Leased available spaces are not liable for additional expenses, the amount of expense is calculated as accumulated physical and moral wear (Annex 14. of wear). In this regard, cold store machinery has a service life of 10 years, which explains the fact that indirect consumptions have the largest share of 66% of total output.

Direct expenses include expenses related to current operation activity, which preponderance is determined by provision of consulting services: In relative terms this consumption falls within 2-3%. The bulk of the salaries represent salaries of operational staff (about 10 people) with an average annual gross salary of 3 000 MDL. Other expenses, incurred by company refer to promotional costs and costs for attracting new residents, amount to 80-100 thousand MDL per year, which would reflect a 0.5% share of the total.

Expenses related to the administrative body constitute the second largest component, although compared with a share of 9-10%, "CAAN" JSC as an asset management company does not have any categories of expenses related to production activity, most of them focus on staff remuneration, mainly reflected by the administrative staff, or costs for its maintenance. Thus, out of the total volume of these expenses 79% are expenses for labour remuneration, the others focusing on various categories - maintenance, office supplies, communication expenses, taxes, or similar.

7.2.3 Forecast of financial results

Financial results of "CAAN" JSC for the forecast period, are marked by four main areas of activity: space leasing, leasing of refrigerators, activity of sorting and packing fruits and vegetables and consulting services provided by the staff of the company. In this regard, revenues and expenses have been mentioned in previous paragraphs, further paragraphs present dynamics of net financial results. The data represented in the figure below show a favourable situation.

The data presented in the Figure above shows that new investments made in the created industrial park will lead to achieving net sales in constant growth. Commencement of storage of fruits, vegetables and grapes since the autumn of 2011 will enable the company to generate a sales volume of over 25 million MDL, and subsequently will increase up to123 million MDL, or about 5 times in the 10 years of forecast. Given that the activity of the company is focused on providing services of leasing of available spaces, all expenses related to electricity consumption, staff and others are passed to residents. In this regard, the cost of sales includes current expenses of maintaining the staff directly employed in the production process or usage of fixed assets and equipment which are leased directly. Finally, the net profit obtained by the company is experiencing a positive trend reaching 17.7 million MDL in 2011 and over 79 million MDL in 2020. The trend of increasing net profit is determined by the fact that investments in 2012 are expected to be financed from attracted resources (foreign loans or international projects) on which basis in 2013 interest payments occur directly diminishing obtained economic benefits.

As for factors influencing the net profit, the situation is as follows.

As shown in the Table above, the factors influencing the increase in net profit refers to an obvious increase in gross profit of over 4.5 times in the 10 years of forecast activity, from 19.36 million MDL in 2011 up to 90.8 million MDL in 2020. The operating result of the company, which obviously increases about 4.8 times during the forecast period offering the possibility to cover any losses that may result from differences in exchange rate - a factor that does not dependent of company’s management, but of the current situation of the Moldovan economy and national currency instability. An important factor with a less favourable effect is expenses on the income tax from 2012. According to the strategy approved by government authorities, the income tax of legal entities would be reintroduced since January 1, 2011. For reasons related to more active support of entrepreneurs, the income tax at an annual level of 10% will be introduced since January 1, 2012, for which financial results also comprise expenses (savings) on income tax, which amounts are also reflected in the cash flow.

7.2.4 Forecast of cash flow

The data presented in the Table above reflect a situation favourable to the company’s activity generating sufficient liquid financial resources to cover its immediate payments. The data outlined above show that during the forecast period the company will finance its activity from internal resources generated by its operating activity, as confirmed by the positive value of the cash flow from operating activities during this period.

The specificity of funding consist in the fact that during 2011, investment in repair of buildings, creation of cold store complex and packing house will be made by the managing company on the account of associates financial resources. For the year 2012 the expansion of the cold store capabilities, completion of investments in buildings and creation of utilities are expected to be coved from external sources of funding, either being attracting from foreign investors, or being obtained from the resources of international programs, including those related to cross-border funds. In this respect, a maximum interest rate was considered given the market conditions of 10%, the respective expenses being presented as interest expense. Meanwhile, contracted foreign sources are expected to be repaid within a period of five years, credit and loan payments being properly represented.

Since the generated revenues are sufficient, and the coverage of all payments and according to the state fiscal policy, since 2012 the tax on income of 10% of the generated profit will already come into force, theses expenses are reflected in the category of payments.

Since 2013 the company intend to pay dividends amounting to 50% of the annual profit, for which the investments made by investors will be recovered within about 10 years. Finally it is found that the

During its activity, the managing company of the industrial park "CAAN" JSC will develop a constant growing business, characterized by its specificity and reflected in the data reflected in financial statements. Thus, taking into account the investments made by the managing company in creating infrastructure, utilities, in repair and renovation of buildings and in construction of the cold store complex and packing house, the property increases from 25.9 million MDL in 2009 up to 289.1 MDL in 2011 and reaches 570.2 million MDL in 2020, reflecting an increase of about 2 times in 10 years (2020 compared to 2011).

I. Analysis of assets .

The Table above shows the key changes in the structure of assets for the first forecast period - 2011 to 2020.

For the period 2011 - 2020, the major changes in the assets of the company are the followings:

- Long-term investments in assets made during the years 2011-2012 have an increased share for the first forecast period and, in terms of share in total assets, they are reduced as a result of moral and physical wear calculation;

- Short-term assets, which for the first forecast period have an insignificant share, at the end of the forecast period increases considerably. The increase is determined by the accumulation of funds on the settlement account of the company, following a profitable activity.

II. Analysis of liabilities .

Ownership equity.

As a result of investments made from the funds of the managing company "CAAN" JSC, equity value is increased up to 275 million. MDL. Further, the profits generated following the activity and

Page 101: Feasability Study CAAN_english

The study was developed by „ProConsulting” LLC, tel./fax: 21-00-89 101

accumulated from one period to another determine an increase in net profit, which implies a final value of 291.6 million MDL in 2020 or 51.1% of the total funding sources.

Long term loans.

As noted, the investments made in 2012 are expected to be made from external sources: external donors and various regional projects. In this respect, at the end of 2012 the total amount of attracted resources is expected to make up 140 million MDL, which constitutes 29.5% of total funding sources. Loans are expected to be attracted for a period of five years, for which the dynamics of respective loans shows a downward trend and will completely disappear in 2016 with the final instalment payment.

Short-term funding sources

Like any economic activity, leasing of available spaces is more or less influenced by various purchases. In this regard, in the future „CAAN" JSC will have some liabilities that will not affect its paying capacity or significant debt since their weight does not exceed 0.4% of total assets, i.e. the amount of 2 680,9 thousand MDL at end of 2020.

7.2.6 Forecast of financial indicators

Evolution of main financial indicators of the company during the analysis period is presented in the Annex 13. of the business plan.

7.2.6.1 Indicators of profitability

Calculations and forests made for an analyzed period shows business profitability and its profitable activity.

Table 48. Main indicators of profitability

Indicators 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020

Investment Profitability - - 7% 10% 8% 10% 11% 13% 14% 16% 17% 18%

Return On Equity (ROE) -1% 0% 11% 14% 10% 12% 13% 14% 14% 15% 15% 15%

Return On Assets (ROA) -1% 0% 11% 12% 8% 9% 11% 12% 14% 15% 15% 14%

Gross Margin (%) 53% 53% 78% 78% 64% 65% 67% 68% 70% 71% 72% 74%

Net Profit Margin -17% 2% 72% 68% 41% 46% 50% 55% 59% 62% 63% 64%

Return on equity (ROE) is one of the most important indicators of efficiency, being used by owners or potential donors in making an investment decision. During the forecast period a high level of this value of 11%, which is constantly growing determines the profitability of invested funds.

Return on assets (ROA) measures the profitability of the project as relative value of the total engaged assets. The ROA indicator has a value of over 8% throughout the entire forecast period, thus confirming the profitability of the business and that a MDL supplemented to the asset will generate a profit of 0.08 MDL within a period of 12 months or 0.14 MDL for the last forecast year.

Evolutionally, this indicator has an overall upward trend, which is beneficial, indicating that the direction of company’s development is correct.

The table shows that the gross profit margin exceeds 60% throughout the forecast period. This fact is positively appreciated as being determined by the growth of sales revenue with a higher rate than the increase in cost of sales during forecast 10 years. This may arise as a result of favourable price conjuncture, but also by increasing the existing volume of demand.

Net profit margin is the best method of diagnosing the overall ability of the company to obtain profit, given that costs, expenses, and paid tax are taken into account, and the value of over 41% determines

the profitability of the company. This value is specific to companies involved in leasing of spaces available.

7.2.6.2 Liquidity indicators

Liquidity is one of the main indicators characterizing the ability of the company to carry out its immediate payments. The indicators characterizing the level of liquidity are the following.

As shown in the Table above, the overall liquidity (coverage liquidity) for the period 2011-2020 is well above the minimum acceptable threshold (1.5). On the one hand an excessive liquidity is a factor that the company is not able to invest its available resources. On the other hand, the company’s specific related to space leasing does not provide any debts to suppliers and the permanence of available cash liquidity reflect indicators much higher than the minimum acceptable values.

7.2.6.3 Indicators of financial stability

In terms of solvency indicators, it can be concluded that for "CAAN" JSC they are acceptable.

Debt Service Ratio 1,74 1,90 2,09 - - -

debt service rate 2,4 2,7 3,1 - - -

If we were to consider the company in terms of financial stability, when it is easy to see that funding of the current activity is made mostly from its own resources. Borrowings contracted in 2012 will cause a temporary increase in borrowing up to the 30% of total funding sources, which would not involve the downside risks to the business.

The correct funding relation between assets and their sources, determined by the financial stability coefficient confirms a correct management maturity. Although for the first forecast years (2010-2013) the financial stability coefficient has minimum values, further development of the company involves an increase and safety for future periods.

The company’s ability to pay off the debts of main creditors is determined by the relation exposed through the interest coverage ratio, debt service or RDD.

One of the most relevant indicators in this regard is the debt service ratio, which explains the correlation between the generated net profit, and interest and loan payments. Its optimal value makes up 1.2, and the specificity is that the RDD is calculated only for investment projects. In this regard, calculation of the RDD took into account only credit payments related to the investment goals of the company, and its framing within 1.9 to 3.1 confirms once again that credit and interest payments will not threaten its current activity.

7.2.6.4 Turnover Speed Indicators

In terms of revenue generation abilities following the use of each component of company’s assets, the values of these indicators are given by the company’s specificity - lease of available spaces. Given that the available buildings have considerable values (over 400 million MDL), assents indicators will generate enough negative values, but these are obtained in conditions when during income calculation pessimistic options of development were taken into account.

During the forecast period, in terms of turnover speed indicators, an increase in the business dynamics is observed, while most of the indicators indicate decreased duration of rotation. For companies leasing real estate, it is specific that the indicators of the turnover period are relatively high. The main reason is that generated revenues, compared to the balance of available assets, have rather big discrepancy, which is explained by the need of moral and physical wear of buildings within 30 years.

7.3 Estimation of investment efficiency

In any activity, a key factor of the decision to invest or not is given by the future flows generated by the investment. In this respect, it is necessary to analyze the efficiency of investment thought the net present value method NPV (Net Present Value)

Table 52. Determination of investment efficiency (Annex 12. )

Investment Value I 459 905 036 MDL

Discount Rate R 10%

Period of Recoverability T 9,9 years

Net Present Value NPV 4 201 022 MDL

Rates of Return RR 10%

Profitability Index (PI) 1 01

Net Present Value (NPV) is a fundamental criterion for economic and financial evaluation of investment projects. NPV represents the capital surplus for a certain period of investment life. Given the fact that the positive value of NPV is a necessary prerequisite for investment projects, a higher value as it would lead to greater profitability of the project. For the activity of the industrial park formed on the territory of „CAAN” JSC of Straseni, the total value of investment falls within 27 594 276 EURO (459 905 036 MDL) distributed by components in accordance with the annexes presented in this study. In determining the value of VAN, the following mathematical formula was taken into account:

I

r

CTVVVAN

n

tt

0 1, where

VV - sales revenue CT – total costs r – discount rate at a level of 10% t –considered year n –number of periods

Calculations determine the net value of the NPV in the amount of 4 201 022 MDL. This is an intrinsic value, which confirms the profitability of the business, but does not involve a final decision since there is no any predetermined level of comparison. The value over 4,2 million MDL indicates that the investment will now generate a positive final value within the considered period (10 years).

Internal Rate of Return (IRR), expresses the level of income equalizing the cost of capital, which equals the updated income with undated expenses, making the amount of income to be equal to zero. IRR is the minimum threshold of profitability of a project, below which it is not effective. The estimated value, calculated depending on the considered marginal criteria, shows for the managing company a level of 10%. Mathematically the value of IRR is expressed by the expression:

with the same meanings of indicators as those mentioned above.

The period of recovery of the investment, given the above assumptions, is estimated at 10 years and reflects, in conditions when the discount rate would be similar to the internal rate of discount, the period during which the company would cover all costs of the investment made of profits generated by this investment.

The profitability index of the investment is estimated at 1,01 and shows the value of the updated surplus capital per every reinvested MDL. The investment requirement for any investment project is that this amount should be greater than the unit. Given that investments in constructions have periods of recovery of over 10 years and that within the financial calculations the most pessimistic forecasts were taken into account, a 10-year recoverability is acceptable for the company’s investments, when in 2013 payments of dividends shall already be made.
