2. Engine Industry Rakovica (IMR)- General Information

Engine Industry Rakovica – In Bankruptcy (hereinafter: IMR or the Company), was

the biggest manufacturer of tractors and engines for agricultural machinery in former
Yugoslavia . Engine Industry Rakovica engages in the manufacture and export of
tractor and engines. The tractors and engines which were designed and produced in
IMR, were sold to local as well as foreign customers .

The Company was performing well from its foundation in 1927 until the late 90s,
when the market was severely disrupted by the wars in the region. Since then, IMR
has gone through several restructuring attempts, but without any success.
Due to lack of funds needed for investments in modernization and upgrading of the
equipment and shortage of working capital, the bankruptcy became inevitable –
formally it was declared in 2015 and most likely it will be concluded through sale of
assets of the Company to an interested investor.

4. The Market

The biggest importers of agricultural machinery manufactured by IMR were from

Egypt, Ethiopia, Algiers and Pakistan.Tractors made by IMR suit the African market
because their quality was much higher than those of Chinese and Indian tractors
competing in the same market.
IMR has secure tractors placement ,due to contract signed between IMR Rakovica
and company METEC (Ethiopia) in 2010 for the purchase of 15.000 tractors
(delivered 1.050 units). A contract value is 170.000.000,00€.
In Serbia ,out of 350.000 IMR and IMT tractors , 95% of them are older than 10
years .All tractor have IMR engines for which spare parts are needed .
The state is provided subsidy applications for IPARD incentives for the purchase of
new tractors. Because of that we can expect the domestic tractor industry to record a
volume growth in the next period.

NOTE: The annex to the contract between the IMR Rakovica and the company
METEC- Ethiopia to delivery of 13.950 tractors in the next five year, was signed
on 29.09.2016.(validity of a Contract with METEC is prolonged)
Financing will be provided by SABINA GROUP through their mutual arrangement.
Tractors manufactured by IMR Rakovica meet the demand of the African markets
entirely and are therefore chosen by Sabina group to represent the continent.
Sabina group has demand for the acquistion up to 20 000 tractors from two East
African governments.
 5. Business activities
There are cca 1.200 items of machinery and equipment installed in IMR's main

engine assembly process is in control, and that a quality product is being produced.
The purpose of the test is to check engine performance,fuel and oil consumption
,engine power……….
Much of the existing manufacturing machinery are in use since 1980s,and still
working well after all these years .
At its peak, IMR used to manufacture 55.000 engines and 7.500 tractors annually.

 6. Perspective

The sale of IMR’s assets will offer investors a unique opportunity to:
• Acquire production facilities, technology and know-how of an enterprise which
was an important manufacturer of tractors, engines and agricultural machinery, with a
significant market share in its own region;
• Benefit from the existing contacts, experience and know-how of a quality
management team and skilled and experienced workforce, which will be available for
employment;

Investors can expect to return invested money back in a few years and also we can
expect property increases in value over short period of time.
