Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Anditors' responsibilities for the financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants ("IESBA Code"), and the ethical requirements in Cyprus that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other chical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Mnterial uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to notes 2.4, 4.10 and 34 to the consolidated financial statements, which discuss the political and economic environment in Ukraine, the country in which the Group mainly operates, and Management's assessment that the Group will continue as a going concern. As stated in notes 2.4, 4.10 and 34, the impact of these events on the Ukraine economy cannot be determined and may adversely affect the operations of the Group. This indicates that an uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the "Material uncertainty related to going concern" sections, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Valuation of biological assets

Refer to Notes 7, 19 (biological assets) and to Note 37 (fair values) to the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
agricultural crops and animals in growing and
fattening, which are measured at fair value less
estimated costs to sell.
Estimating the fair value involves a number of
judgments and estimates regarding various inputs
and the valuation model. Due to the nature of the
asset, the valuation technique includes a number of
inputs both from internal and external sources.
Consequently, we have determined the valuation of
biological assets to be a key audit matter.
The Group's biological assets consist of Our audit approach in this area included, among others:
· Considering the appropriateness of the valuation
methodology by reviewing the valuation expert's
report on the methodology used by the Group and
agreeing its consistency with IFRS. The competencies
of the expert were also assessed.
Challenging the inputs used by the Group in
calculating the cost of agricultural crops and assessing
the sources used to determine their fair values:
testing the mathematical accuracy of the model;
evaluating the adequacy of the consolidated financial

statements disclosures, including disclosures of key
assumptions, judgments and sensitivities.

Other information

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information comprises the Management Report and the corporate governance statement, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as required by the Companies Law, Cap. 113.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

With regards to the management report and the corporate governance statement, our report is presented in "Report on other legal and regulatory requirements" section.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS-EU and the requirements of the Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to either liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • · Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements (cont.)

  • · Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • · Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • · Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
  • · Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

The functional currencies of the companies of the Group are the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) and United States Dollar (USD). The currency of Cyprus is Euro, but the principal exposure of the parent undertaking is in US dollars, therefore the functional currency of the Company is considered to be USD.

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations As from 1 January 2017, the Group adopted all changes to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by EU which are relevant to its operations. This adoption did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

The Company is required to adopt IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contract with Customers" from 1 January 2018. The Company has preliminarily assessed the estimated impact that the initial application of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements. The actual impact of adopting the standards at 1 January 2018 may change because the new accounting policies are subject to change until the Group presents its first consolidated financial statements that include the date of initial application ("DIA").

The following Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on I January 2017. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these Standards early.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group has consistently applied accounting policies set out in this note to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to achieve consistent application of the accounting policies applied by the Group.

3.1 Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists where the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The financial statements of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date that control commences until the date control ceases.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring them in line with the accounting policies of the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2017

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Basis of consolidation (cont.) 3.1

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity as transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners. No adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the resulting profit or loss is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair relained interest and (i) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. The resulting profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assels acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the nequisition-date amounts of the identifiable assess acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

  • · deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively :
  • · liabilities or equily instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or sharebased payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
  • · assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the vear ended 31 December 2017

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

3.1 Basis of consolidation (cont.)

Business combinations (cont.)

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionale share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions. Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss,if any,is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.

Non-controlling interest (NCI)

NCI is represented by interest in the subsidiaries not owned by the Group. It is determined at the reporting period as interest in the fair value of identified assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition or creation of a new subsidiary, as well as interest in change in net assets of a subsidiary after the acquisition or creation of a new subsidiary.

The Group provides information on NCI in net assets of subsidiaries and companies not connected with formal structure and not having a common parent company separately from items of equity attributable to the owners of the parent company.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

3.2 Foreign currency translation

(a) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency of each company included into the Group, at the rates ruling at the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and losses, arising from transactions in foreign currency, and also from translation of monetary assets and liabilities into the functional currency of each company included into the Group at the rate ruling at the end of the year, are recognised in profit or loss.

The exchange rates used in preparation of these consolidated financial statements, are as follows:

Currency 31 December Weighted 31 December Weighted 31 December
2017 average for the 2016 average for the 2015
year 2017 year 2016
US dollar - UAH 28,0672 26,5947 27,1909 25.5458 24,0007

The empowerment of the USD against UAH has resulted in the reduction of various values disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of profit or loss and financial position. This reduction is applicable only in case of translation into presentation currency.

The foreign currencies may be freely convertible to the territory of Ukraine at the exchange rate which is close to the exchange rate established by the National Bank of Ukraine. At the moment, the Ukrainian Hryvnia is not a freely convertible currency outside the Ukraine.

(b) Presentation currency

The financial results and position of cach subsidiary are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • · At each reporting period of the consolidated financial statements all the assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of the National Bank of the European Central Bank at that date:
  • · Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates (except for the cases when such average exchange rate is not a reasonably approximate value reflecting cumulative influence of all exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates at the date of transaction);
  • · All exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

Initial recognition of property, plant and equipment ("PPE") Property plant and equipment is recognised by the Group as an asset only when:

  • · it is probable that the Group will receive certain future economic benefits;
  • · the historical cost can be assessed in a reliable way;
  • · it is intended for use during more than one operating cycle (usually more than 12 months).

Expenses after the initial recognition of property, plant and equipment

Any subsequent expenses, increasing the future economic benefits from the asset. are treated as additions. Otherwise, the Group recognises subsequent expenses to profit or loss of the year, in which they are incurred. The Group divides all expenses, related to the property, plant and equipment, into the following types:

  • · current repairs and expenses for maintenance and technical service;
  • · capital impairment, including modernisation.

Subsequent measurement of property, plant and equipment

After initial recognition as an asset, the Group applies the model of accounting for the property, plant and equipment at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any accumulated losses from impairment, taking into account estimated residual values of such assets at the end of their useful lives. Such cost includes the cost of replacing significant parts of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of pregerly, plant and equipment are required to be replaced from time to time, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific estimated useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying value of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs equipment as a in the profit or loss of the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives agreed upon with the technical personnel of the Group.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Construction in progress Not depreciated
Buildings 10-75 years
Machinery and equipment 2-30 years
Vehicles 2-15 years
Computers and office equipment 1-10 years
Instruments, tools and other equipment 1-10 years

Residual values and useful lives of assels are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

3.3 Property, plant and equipment (cont.)

The acquired asset is depreciated starting from the following month of the date of placing into operation and depreciation is fully accumulated when useful life ends.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in profit or loss of the year in which the asset is derecognised.

Impairment

At each reporting period the Group evaluates whether ony indicators of possible impairment of an asset exist. If the recoverable value of an asset or a group of assets within property, plant and equipment is lower than their carrying (residual) value. the Group recognises such asset or group of assets as impaired, and accrues a provision for impairment of the amount of excess of the carrying value over the recoverable value of the asset. Impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Assess under construction

Assets under construction comprise costs directly related to construction of property, plant and equipment including an appropriate allocation of directly attributable variable overheads that are incurred in construction. Construction in progress is not depreciation of the construction in progress, on the same basis as for other property, plant and equipment items, commences when the assets are available for use, i.e. when they are in the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management.

3.4 Intangible assets

For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Group defines the following groups of the intangible assets: computer software and land lease rights.

Computer softvare

Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique computer software products controlled by the Group and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets. Subsequently computer software is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software programs beyond their original specifications is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the computer software. Costs associated with maintenance of computer software programs are recognised in profit or loss of the year in which they are incurred. Computer software are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, usually 5 years. Amortisation starts from the following year of the date of placing into operation and is fully accumulated when useful life ends.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted accordingly.

3.4 Intangible assets (cont.)

Land lease rights

Land lease rights acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Land lease rights acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost), Subsequent to initial recognition. Iand lease rights acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment fosses, on the same basis as land lease rights acquired separately.

Amortisation of land lease rights is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. For land lease rights, the amortisation period is 10 years.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for land lease rights are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for prospectively.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss of the year in which the asset is derecognised.

3.5 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other receivables are stated after deducting the appropriate allowances for any impairment.

(ii) Prepavments from clients

Payments received in advance on sale contracts for which no revenue has been recognised yet, are recorded as prepayments from clients as at the reporting date and carried under liabilities.

(iii) Loans granted

Loans originated by the Group by providing money directly to the borrower are categorised as loans and are carried at amortised cost. This is defined as the fair value of cash consideration given to originate those loans as is determined by reference to market prices at origination date. All loans are recognised when cash is advanced to the borrower.

An allowance for loan impairment is established if there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of loans. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral, discounted at the original effective interest rate of loans.

(iv) Investments

Investments in securities are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and are presented at their fair value at the reporting period.

The fair value for investments in listed securities is considered to be the current bid prices and is calculated in accordance with the prices published by the Stock Exchange at the reporting period.

Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from the change in the fair value of investments are recognised in profit or loss.

(v) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded initially at the proceeds received, nel of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(vi) Trade pavables

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition of financial assets and linbilities

Finemoint assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • · the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired:
  • · the Group retains the right to receive cash Nows from the assemed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or
  • · the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor relained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset,

3.5 Financial instruments (cont.)

Any interest in such derecognized financial assess that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated statement of financial position.

3.6 Inventories

The Group identifies the following types of inventories:

  • · raw and other materials (including principal and auxiliary industrial raw and other materials; agricultural purpose materials);
  • · work-in-progress (including semi-finished products);
  • agricultural produce; ●
  • finished goods;
  • · goods in stock;
  • · other inventories (including fuel, packaging, construction materials, spare parts, low value items, other materials and consumable supplies).

Work in progress includes the costs incurred during the period, but relating to the preparation of crop areas under sowing for future reporting periods.

Agricultural products derived from biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. Profit or loss arising upon initial recognition of agricultural products at fair value less estimated costs to sell is recorded in profit or loss as goin((loss) from changes in value of biological assets and agricultural produce.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

3.6 Inventories (cont.)

The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out (FIFO) principle and includes all expenses for acquiring the inventories, conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and preliminary estimated distribution and selling costs.

The Group regularly reviews inventories to determine whether there are any indicators of damage, obsolescence, slow movement, or a decrease in net realisable price. When such events take place, the amount by which inventories are impaired, is reported in profit or loss.

Impairment of inventories

Cost of inventories may be irrecoverable if the realisable value for such inventories has decreased due to their damage, whole or partial obsolescence or resulting from changes in market prices. Cost of inventories may be irrecoverable if possible costs for completion or sale have increased.

Raw and other materials in inventories are not written-off below cost, if finished goods, in which they will be included, will be sold at cost or above. However, when decrease in price for raw materials indicates that cost of finished goods will exceed the net realisable value, raw materials are written off to the net realisation value.

At each reporting period the Group analyses inventories to determine whether they are damaged, obsolete or slow-moving or whether their net realisable value has declined. If such situation occurred, the amount by which inventories are impaired is recorded in profit or loss.

3.7 Biological ussets

The following groups of biological assets are distinguished by the Group:

(a) current - with useful life of I year, including:

  • · agricultural crops (winter crops, spring crops and industrial crops);
  • · animals in growing and fattening (cattle);
  • (b) non-current with useful life over I year:
  • · work and productive livestock (cattle, etc.).

Biological asset is an animal or plant which in the process of biological transformations can create agricultural products or additional biological assets, as well as bring economic benefits in other ways.

Biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell, except in case where fair value cannot be determined reliably. Costs to sell include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets. including transportation costs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2017

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Biological assets (cont.) 3.7

If there is an active market for a biological asset or agricultural produce, the Group determines the fair value of assets based on their quoted price in the market. If the Group has access to several markets, the definition of fair value is based on the market, which may be used by the Group with the highest probability.

In the absence of an active market, the Group uses one or more of the following indicators to determine the fair value of biological assets:

  • · price of the most recent transaction in the market, provided that in the period between the date of the transaction and the reporting date there were no significant changes of economic conditions;
  • · market prices for similar goods;
  • sectorial indices.

In case where there are no market prices or other value indicators to determine the fair value in respect of the biological asset at a particular time, the Group uses the discounted value of the asset's expected net cash flows, while applying a discount coefficient, calculated on the basis of current market conditions for cash flow before tax.

Where there is no information about market prices upon the initial recognition of biological asset, and alternative estimates of fair value are clearly unreliable, such biological asset is volued at cost lass accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Once there is the possibility to decemine the fair also of biological assets with reasonable reliability, the biological asset is revalued as factoring the rail value less estimated costs to sell (this principle applies only at initial recognition of the biological asset). If the Group nas previously valued the biological asset at fair value less estimated costs to sell, this biological asset is recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell up to the moment of its disposal.

The difference between the fair value less estimated costs to sell and production cost of biological assets is recorded in profit or loss as gain((loss) from changes in value of biological assels and griculural products.

Biological assets and future harvest costs

Cost of crops for future harvest consists of actual costs incurred in growing harvest (including lease expenses, costs of land preparation, planting, fertilising, processing, collection, storage). The fault of winter crops at the end of the year is approximate to its cost due to a minor biological transformation of seeds at the end of the year, significant impact of cultivation quality, weather condition and promition on future harvest, variations in market demand for future harvest. Crops for future harvest an measured al cost.

3.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand, cash in transit, issued letters of credit and cali deposits.

3.9 Impairment of non-current assets

The Group assesses at each reporting period the carrying value of its non-current assets to delermine whether there is any objective evidence that non-current assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the imparment foss (if any). If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Gour shall delermine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset beforge (the assel salageneraling unit).

The expected recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is the highest of the cash-generating unit's selling value and its value in use. In estimating until 15 the future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate before taxation which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the expected recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying value, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit) shall be reduced to its recoverable impoint. That reduction is an impairment loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset shall be treated as a revaluation deficit. If the impairmum. Ioss is and assimpled amount of the carrying value of an asset (or cash-generating unit) increases to the revised and estimated amount of its recoverable amount, where increased carrying value does not exceed the carrying value which could be determined only in that case if impairment loss for an assess (or cashgenerating unit) was not recognised in the previous years. Reversal of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

3.10 Advances issued and other accounts receivable which are not financial assets

Advances issued are recorded at nominal value less value added tax and any accumulated impairment losses. Other current assets are recorded at nominal cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment of advances issued if there is objective evidence that repayment of the full amount of the debt does not as within the contract tems, including the incoming information about substantial financial difficulties of the debtor, the metally necognition a debtor as a bankrupt, or probability of debtor's reorganisation, in case of refusal from delivery, etc. Impairment of advances issued and other non-financial current assess is reflected according to order described in subparagraph 'Impairment of Assets' of Note 12.

Advances issued under the contracts for the purchase of property, plant and equipment are recorded in section 'Other non-current assets' of consolidated statement of financial position.

3.11 Value added tax (VAT)

In Ukraine VAT standard rate is 20% on imports and sale of goods and services in the territory of Ukraine and 0% rate for all exports and services rendered outside Ukraine.

The VAT liability is equal to the total amount of VAT accrued during the reporting period and arises at the earlier of goods shipment to the customer or at the date of receipt of payment from the client.

  • · the value added tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the value added tax is recognised as part of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable;
  • · receivables and payables are stated including the value added tax.

For the Cyprus Company VAT of 19% applies on expenses.

The Group classifies VAT recoverable arising from its operating activities and its capital expenditures. The balance of VAT recoverable may be realised by the Group either through a cash refund from the state budget or by sett off against VAT liabilities with the state budget in future periods.

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the faxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

3.12 Income tax

Current income tor

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting period in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Management period includes positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are publications are publications are publications are publications are publications interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

The majority of Groups entities are registered as tax payers of fixed agricultural tax and therefore are not payers of corporate tax.

Finance income comprises of interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and bank charges.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying intention fecessarily requires significant time to be prepared for use in accordance with the Group's intentions or for sale, are capitalised as the part of initial value of such asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in profit or loss in the period they were incurred. Borrowing costs include interest payments and other expenses incurred by the Group related to borrowings.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position,

3.15 Assets held for sale or distribution

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered distribution, but a distribution rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale or distribution. Immediately before classification as held for sale or distribution, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Thereafler generally the assets, or disposal group, see measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining defensions and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property or biological assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale or distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

Once classified as held for sale or distribution. intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equility accounted.

3.16 Leases

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease.

At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset, subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and to ime name finance cost on the liability is recognised using a Group's incremental borrowing rate,

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases - The Group as lesee

The leases of the Group are classified as finance leases, if they transfer to the Group substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. The Group recognises a finance lease as asset and liability at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

The payments are appointed between the finance expenses and the decrease of the finance lease obligations based on the effective interest method.

Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or foss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease and a spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

4.6 Taxation (cont.)

In Management's opinion, the Company is in substantial compliance with the tax laws governing its operations. However, the risk remains that the relevant authorities could take different positions with regard to interactive issues and the effect could be significant.

The Company met the tax filing in Cyprus. To the best of Management's knowledge, no breaches of tax law have occurred. Thus, the Company has not recorded any provisions for potential impact of any such breaches at the reporting period.

4.7 Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are determined by the occurrence of one or more fulure events. Measurement of contingent liabilities is based on management's judgments and estimates of the outcomes of such future events. In particular, the tax laws in Ukraine are complex and significant management judgement is required to interpret those laws in connection with the tax affairs of the Group, which is open to challenge by the tax authorities. Additionally, the economic and political situation in Ukrainemaly have an impact (note 34 to the consolidated financial statements).

4.8 VAT

Management classified VAT recoverable balance as current based on expectations that will be realised within twelve months from the reporting period. In addition management assessed whether the allowance for irrecoverable VAT needs to be created.

In making this assessment, management considers past history of receiving VAT refunds from the state budget. For VAT recoverable expected to be set off against VAT liabilities in future periods, management based its estimates on detailed projections of expected excess of VAT input over VAT ourput in the normal course of business.

4.9 Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the CFO.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Board of Directors.

ন SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (cont.)

4.9 Measurement of fair values (cont.)

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierachy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

  • · Level 1 : quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • · Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • · Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the earne level of the fair value hierarchy as the last theasarences is the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair is significan to the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the relevant notes.

4.10 Ukrainian business environment

The Group conducts its operations mainly in Ukraine's political and economic situation has verious events in Crimes Ind as 2014. Following political and social unrest in early 2014, in March 2014, various events in Crimea led to the accession of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation, which was not recognised by Ukraine and moster of the repaired in a significant delevinal, which of the relationship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Following the instability in Crientiality in Crimea, regional tensions have spread to the Eastern regions of Ukraine, primarily Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In May 2014, protests in the regions escalated into military clashes and armed conflict between supporters of the self-declared republics of the Donesk and anned contined between which continued throughout the date of these financial statements.

4.10 Ukrainian business environment (cont.)

Political and social unrest combined with the military conflict in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions has deepened the ongoing economic crisis, caused a fall in the country's gross domestic product and foreign trade, deterioration in state finances, depletion of the National Bank of Ukraine's forcign currency reserves, significant devaluation of the national currency and a further downgrading of the Ukrainian sovereign debt credit ratings. Following the devaluation of the national currency, the National Bank of Ukraine introduced certain administrative restrictions on currency conversion transactions, which among others included restrictions on purchases of foreign currency by individuals and companies, the requirement to convert 50% (2016: 65%) of foreign currency proceeds to local currency, a ban on payment of dividends abroad, a ban on early repayment of foreign loans and restriction, or wash withdrawals from banks. These events had a negative effect on Ukrainian companies and banks, significantly limiting their ability to obtain financing on domestic and international markets,

The final resolution and the effects of the political and economic crisis are difficult to predict but may have further severe effects on the Ukrainian economy.

Whilst management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances, a continuation of the current unstable business environment could negatively affect the Group's results and financial position in a manner not currently determinable. These consolidated financial statements reflect management's current assessment of the impact of the Ukrainian business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The fiture business environment may differ from management's assessment.

  • · Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

For the year ended 31 December 2017

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

37. FAIR VALUES (cont.)

a) Fair value of financial assets

Assumptions in assessing fair value of financial instruments and assessment of their subsequent recognition

As no readily available market exists for the Group's financial instruments, judgment is necessary in instruments. The estimates processed brook conditions and specific risks attributable to the instruments. The estimates prosented herein are not mecessarily indicalive of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holding of the particular instrument.

At 31 December 2017, the following methods and assumptions were used by the Group to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

  • · Cash and cash equivalents the fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value for these short-term financial instruments.
  • · Trade and other receivables the fair value is reasonably estimated to be the same as the carrying value, as provision for doubtful debts is reasonable estimation of discount needed for reflection of credit risk influence.
  • · Trade and other payables · the fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value for trade and other payables.

Application of the effective interest rate method for calculating carrying value of short - term receivables, interest free loans granted and received and payables has been applied to reflect fair values.

  • · Loans · the fair value of loans, is estimated to approximate the total carrying value as the nominal interest rate of loans is approximately tied to the market rate concerning loans with similar credit risk rate and repayment period at the reporting period.
  • · Equity securities the fair value of equity securities is measured using the available quoted market prices from the relevant stock exchange which the securities are listed.

b) Fair value of non-financial assets
