(i) In accordance with the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, Section 55 (2) the share premium reserve can only be used by the Company in (a) paying up unissued shares of the Company to be issued to members of the Company as fully paid bonus shares; (b) writing off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the Company; and (c) providing for the premium payable on redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of any debentures of the Company.

(ii) Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the Special Contribution for the Defence of the Republic Law, during the two years after the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer, will be deemed to have distributed this amount as dividend. Special contribution for defence at 20% for the tax years 2012 and 2013 and 17% for 2014 and thereafter will be payable on such deemed dividend to the extent that the owners (individuals and companies) at the end of the period of two years from the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer are Cyprus tax residents. The amount of this deemed dividend distribution is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defence is paid by the Company for the account of the owners.

The above requirements of the Law are not applied in the case of the Company due to the fact that its owners are not residents in Cyprus for tax purposes.

18. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group identified the following reportable segments, which include products and services that differ by levels of risk and conditions of generation of income:

(i) Plant breeding segment raises and sells agricultural products and renders accompanying services. The main types of agricultural produce which are sold in this reportable segment are wheat, rye, barley, sunflowers and rape. The main services which are sold in this reportable segment are ploughing, handling and grain storage services.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

19. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

The Group's operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions. In particular, the cultivation of crops is adversely affected by winter weather conditions, which occur primarily from January to March. The first half of the year typically results in lower revenues and results for cultivations.

As a result of the annual cycle of crops producing and the Group's attempts to take an advantage of seasonal price changes by managing inventory in its storage facilities, the Group's Plant breeding segment is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Profits of this segment tend to be higher in the first half of a year.

20. OPERATING ENVIROMENT

Cyprus economic environment

The Cyprus economy has been adversely affected by the crisis in the Cyprus banking system in conjunction with the inability of the Republic of Cyprus to borrow from international markets. These events led to negotiations between the Republic of Cyprus and the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (the "Troika") for financial support which resulted into the Eurogroup decisions on 25 March 2013. The decisions involved:

• the formulation of an Economic Adjustment Program for the country entailing the provision of financial assistance of up to €10 billion, the disbursements of which are subject to ongoing reviews by the Troika.

• the restructuring of the two largest(systemic) banks in Cyprus through a "bail in".

During 2014 the banking sector in Cyprus undertook significant measures in anticipation of and subsequent to the EU-wide comprehensive assessment which consisted of thorough asset quality reviews and stress tests, and as a result it was recapitalised. Nevertheless the banking sector continues to face challenges due to the high level of non-performing loans and the limited availability of credit.

The Company's management is unable to predict all developments which could have an impact on the Cyprus economy and consequently, what effect, if any, they could have on the future financial performance, cash flows and financial position of the Company.

On the basis of the evaluation performed, the Company's management has concluded that no provisions or impairment charges are necessary.

The Company's management believes that it is taking all the necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Company and the development of its business in the current business and economic environment.

Ukrainian economic and political environment

Ukraine's political and economic situation has deteriorated significantly since the Government's decision not to sign the Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the European Union in late November 2013. Political and social unrest combined with rising regional tensions has deepened the ongoing economic crisis and has resulted in a widening of the state budget deficit and a depletion of the National Bank of Ukraine's foreign currency reserves and, as a result, a further downgrading of the Ukrainian sovereign debt credit ratings.

20. OPERATING ENVIROMENT (continued)

In February 2014, following the devaluation of the national currency, the National Bank of Ukraine introduced certain administrative restrictions on currency conversion transactions and also announced a transition to a floating foreign exchange rate regime. In March 2014, various events in Crimea led to the accession of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation. This event resulted in a significant deterioration of the relationship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Following the instability in Crimea, regional tensions have spread to the Eastern regions of Ukraine, primarily Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In May 2014, protests in Donetsk and Lugansk regions escalated into military clashes and armed conflict between armed supporters of the self-declared republics of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and the Ukrainian forces. As at the date these consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the instability and unrest continue, and part of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions remains under control of the self-proclaimed republics. As a result, Ukrainian authorities are not currently able to fully enforce Ukrainian laws on this territory.

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 future business environment may differ from management's assessment.

Going concern basis

The dangers which may arise from unexpected external factors such as competition, and the further deterioration of the market conditions cannot be ignored. In addition the current financial position of the Company, the uncertain economic conditions in Cyprus, the unavailability of finance, the blockage of funds, together with the current instability of the banking system and the anticipated overall future economic recession may hinder the management's effort to sustain the group as a going concern. However having regard to the fact that with the consent of the Noteholders, the Company has amended the terms and conditions of the Notes with an extension of maturity date and postponement of interest payments, the Board of Directors believes that the Company will remain a going concern and that no indications of any kind of threat of liquidation exists in the foreseeable future.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary in case the Company was not able to continue operating as a going concern which could include:

• the ability of the Company to repay its Noteholders
• the ability of the Company to repay its loans
• the ability of the Company's trade and other debtors to repay the amounts due to the Company
• the cash flow forecasts of the Company and the assessment of impairment of other financial and non-financial assets
• the ability to realize the current assets held for sale
• the ability of the Company to meet its obligations towards its customers

21. CONTINGENT AND CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES

Taxation

As a result of unstable economic situation in Ukraine, tax authorities in Ukraine pay more and more attention to the business cycles. In connection with this, tax laws in Ukraine are subject to frequent changes. Furthermore, there are cases of their inconsistent application, interpretation and execution. Non-compliance with laws and regulations may lead to severe fines and penalties.

The Company operates in the Cypriot tax jurisdiction and its subsidiaries in tax jurisdiction of the respective countries of incorporation. The Group's management must interpret and apply existing legislation to transactions with third parties and its own activities. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for direct and indirect taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at every reporting period end. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities.

The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting period and any known Court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the reporting period.As a result of unstable economic situation in Ukraine, tax authorities in Ukraine pay more and more attention to the business cycles. In connection with this, tax laws in Ukraine are subject to frequent changes. Furthermore, there are cases of their inconsistent application, interpretation and execution. Non-compliance with laws and regulations may lead to severe fines and penalties.

Legal matters

In the course of its economic activities, the Group is involved in legal proceedings with third parties. In most cases, the Group is the initiator of such proceedings with the purpose of preventing from losses in the economic sphere or minimise them

The Group's management considers that as at the reporting period, active legal proceedings on such matters will not have any significant influence on its financial position.

Pension and other liabilities

Most employees of the Group receive pension benefits from the Pension Fund, a Ukrainian Government organisation in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Ukraine. The Group is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll to the Pension Fund to finance the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to this pension plan is to make the specified contributions from salaries.

As at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 the Group's entities had no liabilities for supplementary pensions, health care, insurance benefits or retirement indemnities to its current or former employees.
