Last year 95% of the return on sales of the group came from internal markets. This year the situation has changed. In the accounting quarter, already 15% of the Group's products were sold in other markets where the amount of sales
has increased 2.4 times to 1.7 million euros. Deepest decline has taken place in Lithuania where the volume of sales in the accounting quarter reduced by a half and by 36% by six months.
