ZAGREB, March 12 (Hina) - The General Assembly of the Adriatic pipe-line (JANAF) on Tuesday decided to reduce the company's equity by 847 million kuna, to 2,500,000,000 kuna in order to cover losses from previous years. The new JANAF
stock value will be 2,700 kuna instead of 1,000 German marks. Small share holders individually own a total of 1.343 of the company's stock capital, and only a few voted against the reduction.

ZAGREB, March 12 (Hina) - The General Assembly of the Adriatic pipe-
line (JANAF) on Tuesday decided to reduce the company's equity by
847 million kuna, to 2,500,000,000 kuna in order to cover losses
from previous years.
The new JANAF stock value will be 2,700 kuna instead of 1,000 German
marks.
Small share holders individually own a total of 1.343 of the
company's stock capital, and only a few voted against the
reduction.
JANAF's management said the decision will not affect the upcoming
company's privatisation activities. On the contrary, they said,
this will be a positive element in the establishment of the
company's value by potential investors, since financial reports
will be transparent and harmonised with international book-keeping
standards.
JANAF's major shareholder is a pension fund, which owns 51 percent
of the shares. The INA oil company owns 37 percent, and other
shareholders 12 percent.
This structure, will change because the Croatian government last
week made a decision by which 21.37 percent of JANAF's shares owned
by INA are to be transferred to the state.
