TEGEVUSARUANNE

Üldinfo

Ettevõtte moodustus jagunemisel ASist Järvevana, mille tulemusena eraldati ning
anti üle ASile Merko Ehitus kogu ehitusettevõtte majandustegevusega seotud
varakogum, sh kõik sõlmitud ehitus-, alltöövõtu- ja tarnelepingud, tehnika,
seadmed ja töötajad, kogu erialane oskusteave ja rahavood katkematult jätkuvast
majandustegevusest, va kriminaalasjast nr 05913000055 tulenevad kohustused,
sealhulgas tasumisele kuuluvad kahjuhüvitised, trahvid ning muud nõuded,
kohtukulud ja kriminaalasjast tulenevate võimalike kohustuste kattevarad
kogusummas 16 mln euro ulatuses likviidseid varasid. Ettevõttel puudub
tavapärane majandustegevus ning tema tegevuse ainsaks eesmärgiks on ettevõtte
ning aktsionäride huvide kaitsmine pikaleveninud maadevahetuse kriminaalasjas. 

Äritegevus

Ettevõttel puudub aktiivne majandustegevus ning tema ainsaks arvestatavaks
sissetulekuks on ettevõtte likviidsete varade paigutamisest teenitav
finantstulu. Perioodil 01.01.2011-31.12.2011 teenis AS Järvevana 212,9 tuhat
eurot finantstulu. Arvestatavaimaks kuluallikaks on maadevahetusega seotud
kriminaalasjast tulenevad õigusabikulud, mis moodustavad 2011. aasta
üldhalduskuludest 36%. Ettevõtte varadest moodustab 13,4 mln eurot
koostöö-lepingust
(http://www.merko.ee/upload/File/Restruktureerimise%20dokumendid/Koost%F6%F6lepi
ng%20EST.pdf)
tulenev nõue AS Merko Ehitus vastu. 31.12.2011 seisuga töötas ettevõttes üks
inimene – juhataja Toomas Annus. Ettevõtte tegevusel puudub sesoonne ja
tsükliline eripära. 

3. aprillil 2009 esitas Riigiprokuratuur ASile Järvevana ja Toomas Annusele
süüdistusakti, (mis kannab 31.03.2009 kuupäeva) maadevahetuse kriminaalasjas
nr. 05913000055
(http://www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com/market/?pg=news&news_id=232811). 

12. novembril 2009 algas Harju Maakohtus maadevahetuse süüdistusasja
kohtuprotsess. Kohtuprotsessi ülevaade:
http://www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com/market/?pg=details&instrument=EE3100003559&list=3
&tab=news&news_id=238400.
Süüdistusaktis on ASile Järvevana inkrimineeritud viis episoodi altkäemaksu
andmist ning asja menetleb Harju maakohus. Altkäemaksu süüdistuse
tõendamisesemesse kuulub kolm elementi, milledest kasvõi ühe puudumine välistab
kuriteokooseisu: (i) ametiisikule materiaalse väärtuse hüve lubamine või
üleandmine; (ii) ametiisiku poolne ebaseaduslik tegu altkäemaksu andja kasuks;
(iii) ekvivalentsussuhe esimese ja teise elemendi vahel, s.o. hüve andmine
ametiisikule soodsa teo eest. AS Järvevana suhtes kuulub tõendamisele ka see,
et (i) teo pani toime juriidilise isiku juhtivtöötaja ja (ii) tegu pandi toime
juriidilise isiku huvides. AS Järvevana ei ole teinud ühtegi süüdistusaktis
kirjeldatud maadevahetustehingut. Vastavaid tehinguid tegid ja hüpoteetilist
kasu võisid saada hoopis iseseisvatest juriidilistest isikutest
tütarettevõtted, kellele ei ole süüdistust esitatud. AS Järvevana ei ole aga
kunagi maid vahetanud ka süüdistuse kohaselt. Samuti on ilmne, et teod ei
saanud olla ebaseaduslikud, kuna need olid lubatud LKS § 19, mis välistab
altkäemaksu kvalifikatsiooni. On tõendatud, et samadel alustel ja korras tehti
erinevate isikute poolt enam kui 180 seaduslikku tehingut. 

Kohus on nn „maadevahetusasjas“ kohtuliku uurimise lõpule viinud. Kohtulikul
uurimisel kuulati üle enam kui sada tunnistajat, kellest keegi ei nimetanud
tõendamiseseme asjaoluks olevat altkäemaksu lubamist või andmist. Avaldatud on
kõik dokumentaalsed tõendid, milledes puudub ettevõtte hinnangul igasugune
altkäemaksule viitav info. 

Prokurör palus ASi Järvevana karistada rahalise karistusega 1,598 mln eurot.
Nii suuri rahalisi karistusi pole tavapäraselt kohtupraktikas rakendatud.
Õigeksmõistmise korral sellekohast rahalist kohustust ei teki, vastupidi, riik
peab hüvitama mõistlikud õigusabikulud. 

ASi Järvevana kaitsja on esitanud kohtule kaitsekõne 350 lehel ning palunud
süüdistatav õigeks mõista, kuna  kuritegu ei ole toime pandud. 

27. veebruaril 2012 jätkus kohtuvaidlus kaitsjate repliikide ja süüdistatavate
viimaste sõnadega. Menetlusgraafik on paika pandud kuni 6. märtsini 2012, mille
järel läheb kohus otsust tegema. Kuna tegemist on ülimalt mahuka asjaga, kus on
arvukalt süüdistatavaid , episoode ja mille maht on nüüdseks enam kui 200
köidet, pole teada kui pika aja jooksul kohus otsuse avaldab. 

Ettevõte peab esitatud süüdistusi alusetuks. AS Järvevana nõukogu ja juhatus on
veendunud, et ettevõtte ja tema juhtorganite tegevus on olnud korrektne ning
Eesti Vabariigi seadustega kooskõlas ning seda suudetakse kohtus ka põhistada.

Title

2011 12 months and IV quarter unaudited interim report

Message

Tallinn, Estonia, 2012-02-29 15:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


MANAGEMENT REPORT

General information

The company was formed after the demerger from AS Järvevana (former AS Merko
Ehitus), as a result of which the complete set of assets related to the
business activities of the construction company was separated and transferred
to the new AS Merko Ehitus, including all concluded construction contracts,
subcontracts and supply contracts, machinery, equipment and employees, all
professional know-how and cash flows from uninterrupted, continuous economic
activities, except for liabilities arising from the criminal case no.
05913000055, including compensations for damage, penalties and other payables,
legal expenses and liquid assets to cover potential liabilities arising from
the criminal proceedings in the amount of EUR 16.0 million. The company does
not have ordinary economic activities and the only objective of its activities
is to protect the interests of the company and shareholders in the long-lasting
criminal proceedings related to the land swap. 

Operating activities

The company does not have active business operations and its only income is
finance income earned on the investment of the company’s liquid funds. Between
01.01.2011 and 31.12.2011, AS Järvevana earned finance income in the amount of
EUR 212.9 thousand. The most significant cost article is the legal costs
related to the criminal proceedings of the land swap, which totalled 36% of the
administrative expenses in 2011. A claim against AS Merko Ehitus arising from a
collaboration agreement totalled EUR 13.4 million of the company’s assets
(http://www.merko.ee/upload/File/Restruktureerimise%20dokumendid/Koost%F6%F6lepi
ng%20ENG.pdf).
As of 31 December 2011, one person was employed by AS Järvevana, its Management
Board member Toomas Annus. The company’s activities do not have seasonal or
cyclical nature. 

At 3 April 2009, the Public Prosecutor’s Office submitted a statement of
charges (dated 31.03.2009) against AS Järvevana and Toomas Annus in criminal
case no. 05913000055 concerning the land swap
(http://www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com/market/?pg=news&news_id=232810). 

At 12 November 2009, the judicial proceedings concerning the land swap case
commenced at Harju County Court. An overview of the proceedings is available
at: http://www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com/market/?pg=details&instrument= 
EE3100003559&list=3&tab=news&news_id=238437. In the statement of charges, AS
Järvevana has been incriminated with five episodes of giving a bribe and the
matter has been referred for judicial proceedings to Harju County Court. The
subject of proof concerning bribery charges has three elements, the absence of
even one of which precludes the necessary elements of criminal offence: (i)
promising or giving of a material reward to an official; (ii) illegal act by an
official in favour of a person giving a bribe; (iii) equivalence relation
between the first and second elements, i.e. giving of a reward to an official
for a favourable act. Evidence also needs to be produced against AS Järvevana
in the matter that (i) the act was committed by a senior executive of a legal
person, and (ii) the act was committed in the interests of the legal person. AS
Järvevana has not concluded any land swap transactions described in the
statement of charges. These transactions were concluded and hypothetical
benefits could have been reaped by independent subsidiaries as legal persons
who have not been charged. Even according to the statement of charges, AS
Järvevana has never swapped land. It is also evident that the acts could not
have been illegal because they had been permitted under § 19 of the Nature
Conservation Act which rules out the qualification of bribery. It has been
proved that, on the same basis and by the same methods, more than 180 legal
transactions were made by different people. 

The court has completed the judicial investigation of the so-called “land swap
case”. More than a hundred witnesses have been heard at the judicial
investigation none of whom mentioned the approval or giving a bribe as the
subject of proof. All documentary evidence have been published which, according
to the assessment of the company, lacks any information referring to a bribe. 

The prosecutor asked to impose Järvevana AS a pecuniary punishment of EUR 1,598
million. Such a huge pecuniary punishment is not conventional in court
practice. In case of judgement of acquittal, there would not be such a
financial obligation; on the contrary, the state would have to compensate all
reasonable costs for legal assistance. 

The trial lawyer of Järvevana AS has submitted the court a defence on 350 pages
and asked to acquit the accused, as no crime has been committed. 

On 27 February 2012, the court action continued with the rebuttal of trial
lawyers and the final rebuttal of the accused. The proceedings schedule has
been established until 6 March 2012 after which the court would render its
judgement. As it is an extremely voluminous case with numerous accused parties,
episodes and the volume of which by now is more than 200 editions, it is
impossible to estimate when the court would render its judgement. 

The company considers the charges brought against it to be groundless. The
Supervisory Board and Management Board of AS Järvevana are convinced that the
activities of the company and its governing bodies have been conducted properly
and in conformity with the laws of the Republic of Estonia, and that relevant
proof can be supplied in the court.
