EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment on Form 10-Q/A constitutes Amendment No.1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, of Central European Distribution Corporation (the “Company”), which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2004 (the “Original Report”). The Company is hereby amending and restating Item 4 as it appeared in the Original Report. This Amendment only amends Item 4 of the Original Report and does not affect the original financial statements and footnotes or other disclosures filed in the Original Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules refer to the control and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (such as this quarterly report), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Internal controls over financial reporting refer to a process designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are safeguarded from improper use and that the Company’s transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported so as to permit the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Further, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives.
Changes to Internal Controls.In accordance with the SEC’s requirements, the CEO and the CFO note that, during the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based upon the required evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
