Market review Retail distribution network of periodicals owned by the Company is the largest in the country. The Company was able to transform the appearance of kiosks of sales of periodical press during the reporting period. Modern newsstands have become an integral part of transforming cities of modern Uzbekistan. When drafting new kiosks projects achievements of modern industry and compulsory preservation of the ancient orient traditions are taken into account. Printing industry remains an important segment of the economy of Uzbekistan, and a number of existing printers have implemented a comprehensive modernization ensuring production of lottery, high-quality periodicals. Retail press distribution system plays an important role in promoting socially relevant publications. However, present number of retail selling press outlets in the regions is not enough. Market of distribution of periodical press has been developing quite dynamically in the recent years. This is facilitated by a number of reasons: favorable economic situation in the country, liberal press legislation, steady increase in demand for high-quality printing and improvement of technologies. As a result, capitalization and investment attractiveness of the market grow, a number of registered periodicals along with their crisp positioning in terms of thematic and consumer niches, reading and advertising consumer preferences rapidly increases, competition intensifies. Alternative press distribution systems begin to create in Uzbekistan in market conditions. There are a number of large and small commercial companies in the market now, offering services on registration of subscription to periodicals and their delivery. The main part of alternative distributors of periodicals carries out subscription and delivery of newspapers and magazines to readers in the city of Tashkent, in regional centers and large cities, where a high concentration of companies and organizations is, that enables them to provide services for distribution of periodical printed materials without producing costs for their delivery to remote settlements. “Matbuot” Kiosks are one of major retail channels of print media sales. If we consider the market of retail sales, excluding subscription, kiosks of the Company sell about 12-14% circulation of newspapers and magazines. Kiosks have not lost their relevance in the market now, and are the main, mass and the most effective form of distribution of newspapers, magazines and books. However, additional marketing potential for increasing sales is still quite high. We plan to increase the share of the Company in retail market of periodicals for about 20-25% of circulation of newspapers and magazines in the future. ICT department of the Company has the purpose to introduce modern innovative technologies to the network. Term of realization of the Development Program will take 3-5 years, investments in IT - one of the main areas of the Company's investment in the next five years. Connecting all regional units of the Company to the subscription system of "Matbuot tarkatuvchi" JSC helped to speed up processing of orders and receiving payments by quick obtaining accurate information about subscribers of periodicals and quick subscribe registration by rapid transmission of information to the "automated subscription system." Today, 12 regional companies and 45 regional offices of the Company are connected to the automated system. Works for connection of this system to the rest of district units of the regional enterprises of the Company are performed. Financial plan Development of distribution network requires very considerable financial resources. The amounts of investments will be determined on the basis of action plan and project documentation separately. The source of financing is own funds of the Company - the Company's assets, capital, reserves and income. The total investments over the next 3 years are about 6.0 bln. UZS.

Implementation of the goals set by measures on development of the network will improve the Company's financial results. One of consequences of the Company's planned investment activity will be a temporary increase in short-term financing in 2016-2018 years - growth of the services rendered will require increase of the working capital, while all cash will be directed to investments. The Company may need external financing for successful implementation of the development program. The sources of these funds may be borrowed funds or funds of shareholders involved in the capital of the Company. A wide range of products offered to residents of the republic by “Matbuot” kiosks requires high costs of the Company for organization of the whole trading process. One of the main cost items is transport and warehouse logistics. Specifics of the market is that periodic printed products, especially newspapers, have very short life cycle, so distribution system has high daily logistic processing load both of direct and reverse circulation flows. Transport costs for delivery of goods to the point of sale for retail distribution are fixed costs, not variable - like at other companies. Development of kiosk network requires substantial investment. The following projects are being developed in the Company in order to develop ICT in the sphere of periodic press distribution: - on formation of VPN tunnels for creation a corporate network between enterprises of the Company; - on organization of video and audio conferences via IP-based telephony; - on establishment of data transmission network between kiosks of Tashkent city.
