fluctuation. It is important to note, that it virtually had no effect on the
Company or Group cash flows. 

The main challenge for the company in the second half of 2010 had been sharply
increasing cotton and its yarn prices which had  doubled - tripled hitting
all-time highs. Despite our efforts, it was not possible to fully transfer such
significant cost increase onto our clients. Consequently, operating results for
the fourth quarter of 2010 had been weaker compared to other quarters of the
year.“- says the General Manager of the company “Utenos trikotažas” Nerijus
