PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

KSG Agro S.A., separately referred to as "KSG Agro" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries referred to as the "Group", remains among the largest vertically integrated agricultural groups in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, present in all major sectors of the agricultural market, including production, storage, processing and sale of agricultural products. Its key operating activities are breeding of pigs, processing of pork and production of wheat and sunflower.

IMPACT OF THE WAR EVENTS IN UKRAINE

On 24 February 2022, Russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Because the Group's key assets and operations are in Ukraine, the Group might be significantly affected by these events. Management's analysis of the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Invasion, as well as management's strategy and actions to mitigate those risks, are outlined in Note 15 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The outcome of the Invasion, however, is impossible to predict at this time.

Since the start of the Russian Invasion, no fighting occurred in close vicinity to the Group's assets. The Group's pig farm and its crop fields are located in the center of Ukraine, which hasn't seen any fighting yet.

As at the date of this report, the Group had successfully completed its spring sowing campaign, finished harvesting its winter crops and does not expect significant interruptions to its production cycle in the near future.

Where possible, the judgments and estimates used in the accompanying financial statements were updated to reflect the impact of the ongoing war events. However, adopting a more conservative approach, management only considered the events that had an unfavourable effect on such judgments and estimates.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Group continues to implement its simple strategy of focusing on three winter crops, two summer crops and pigs of a single breed. The Group's products, being basic food products, are always in demand, and remain in especially high demand in 2022, during war time.

Crop Farming

After careful deliberation, management decided not to adjust its crop mix in view of the probable future shifts in both local and global demand for certain crops as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Group shall preserve its current ratio of 60% winter crops (wheat, barley, rapeseed) and 40% summer crops (sunflower, corn). In the long-term perspective, this had proven to be a more rational approach agronomically.

In May, the Group successfully completed its spring sowing campaign on 100% of the plots planned for summer crops (9 thousand hectares) and, in June, carried out cultivation, harrowing, and chemical protection for the summer crops. 70% of seedlings are estimated to be in very good condition.

In July, the Group finished harvesting its winter crops from 100% of the plots (6 thousand hectares), without loss.

Both the sowing and the harvesting campaigns were carried out as planned, without major interruptions. This was achieved by forming sufficient strategic reserves of seeds, fertilisers and fuel during March and April, and even earlier.

The Group also secured two tranches of additional financing from TASCOMBANK, the Group's main lender, in the amounts of UAH 40 million and UAH 60 million, respectively, (a total equivalent of USD 3.4 million of additional funds). These funds were used to prepay key production costs (fertiliser, fuel, feed components, and salaries) ahead of their anticipated price increases, as well as to fund the wartime reserve of key production supplies.

Pig Breeding

Pig production and sales have both increased in comparison with the similar period of the previous year:

Marketable Pigs, in units	Six months 2022	Six months 2021	Change, %
As at 1 January	43,701	41,416	+6%
Farrow	66,660	52,174	+28%
Sales	(56,735)	(52,903)	+7%
Transfers (to) / from nucleus herd, net	(728)	93
As at 30 June	52,898	40,780	+30%

The construction of an additional fattening shop for 2,340 pigs and an additional sow house for 360 sows should provide the Group with another production facility for fattening pigs and will offer an opportunity to increase the birth rate of piglets and improve their performance even more. Construction works on both projects are still under way.

Furthermore, in 2021 the Group purchased 900 new sows as part of its herd rejuvenation efforts and started reconstruction of the second stage of the pig-breeding complex, which will allow the Group to further increase its production capacity. Plans for the second stage include 10 workshops for a total of 58 thousand heads.

To safeguard against the risk of temporary supply chain disruptions during wartime, the Group began to maintain a strategic three-month supply of raw materials for the production of compound feeds at its feed mill.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated financial results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

In thousands of US dollars	Six months 2022	Six months 2021	Change, %
Revenue	6,022	6,806	-12%
Gain/(loss) on biological transformation, net	1,636	1,446	+13%
Cost of sales	(5,604)	(5,776)	-3%
Gross profit	2,054	2,476	-17%
Operating profit	1,484	1,897	-22%
Depreciation and amortisation	737	794	-7%
EBITDA	2,221	2,691	-17%
Profit for the period	858	13,702	-94%
Adjusted for the effect of non-recurring transactions:
- (Gain)/loss on disposal of subsidiaries	354	(12,857)	+103%
Normalised Profit (*)	1,212	845	+43%

Details by segment are disclosed in Note 12 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

(*) To provide a more adequate assessment of financial results for the period, management used the measure of 'normalised profit' for comparison purposes, instead of the accounting profit. In determining normalised profit, management excludes the effects of non-recurring and one-off transactions (such as disposals of subsidiaries), resulting in a presentation that is more objective and fair when performing period-to-period comparisons.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The Board is currently formulating a new development strategy to expand the Group's activity in the European Union, with a clear target to have the majority of the Group's assets and revenues in the EU within the next 3 to 5 years. This could be achieved through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and financed by a mix of own and borrowed funds, including additional issues of shares.

The Board does not plan to dispose of the Group's existing assets in Ukraine. On the contrary, the focus of the new strategy is to expand and invest, thereby reducing the potential risks of investing only in Ukraine and mitigating the negative effects on the Group's business of the current macroeconomic situation in Ukraine.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

All significant events that occurred after the end of the reporting period are described in Note 16 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RISKS

Credit risk

The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the Group's sales of products on credit terms and other transactions with counterparties giving rise to financial assets.

Credit risk concentration

The Group is exposed to the concentration of credit risk. Management monitors and discloses concentrations of credit risk by obtaining monthly reports with exposures to customers with individually material balances.

Market risk

The Group takes an exposure to market risks. Market risks arise from open positions in (a) foreign currencies, (b) interest bearing assets and liabilities, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. The Group does not have significant interest-bearing financial assets, while the Group's bank and other loans are interest-bearing.

Interest rate risk

Risk of changes in interest rates is generally related to interest-bearing loans. Loans issued at variable rates expose the borrower to the 'cash flow' interest rate risk, while loans issued at fixed rates expose the borrower to the 'fair value' interest rate risk.

Currency risk

Foreign currency exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The Group is only susceptible to the currency risk with regard to its intercompany loans.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk is managed by monitoring monthly rolling forecasts of the Group's cash flows. The Group seeks to maintain a stable funding base mostly through proper management of its working capital and using short-term bank and company loans to cover the cash gaps.

In assessing day-to-day performance of the business, management excludes 'other financial assets' and 'other financial liabilities', as those mostly comprise old non-trade balances subject to restructuring, and analyses the change in the resultant 'adjusted working capital'. Based on management's assessment, the adjusted working capital is sufficent.

Capital Risk Management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders as well as to provide financing of its operating requirements, capital expenditures and Group's development strategy. The Group's capital management policies aim to ensure and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the overall cost of capital and flexibility relating to Group's access to capital markets.

In thousands of US dollars	30 June 2022	31 December 2021
Bank and other loans	31,181	27,591
Less: cash and cash equivalents	(283)	(637)
Net debt	30,898	26,954
Total equity	22,442	23,334
Net Debt to Equity Ratio	1.38	1.16

Management monitors on a regular basis the Group's capital structure and may adjust its capital management policies and targets following changes in its operating environment, market sentiment or its development strategy.

Management believes it is responding appropriately to all the risks identified in order to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

KSG Agro S.A. (the "Company") was incorporated under the name Borquest S.A. on 16 November 2010 as a "Société Anonyme" under Luxembourg Company Law for an unlimited period. On 08 March 2011 the Company's name was changed to KSG Agro S.A.

The registered office of the Company is at 24, rue Astrid, L-1143 Luxembourg and the Company number with the Registre de Commerce is B 156 864.

The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") produces, stores, processes and sells agricultural products, mostly crops, pork and pigs in live weight, and its business activities are conducted mainly in Ukraine.

2. GROUP STRUCTURE

The Company's immediate parent is OLBIS Investments LTD. S.A., registered in Panama, and the ultimate controlling party is Mr. Sergiy Kasianov. OLBIS Investments LTD. S.A. holds 57.96% of the issued share capital of the Company, 0.21% of shares are treasury shares and the remaining 41.83% are free float shares listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Principal activities of the entities forming the Group and the Company's effective ownership interest in these entities as at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 were as follows:

		Country of	Effective ownership, %
Entity	Principal activity	registration	30 June 2022	31 December 2021

Ukrzernoprom - Kirovske LLC (i)	on occupied territory	Ukraine	100%	100%
Ukrzernoprom - Yelizavetove LLC (i)		Ukraine	100%	100%

(i) Ukrzernoprom entities are located in Crimea and are not consolidated, as the Group has no operating control over them since October 2014. From that date, carrying values of the associated investments had been written down to zero.

The Group consolidates all other subsidiaries, including those where it owns less than 51 per cent of the equity shares. Based on the contractual arrangements between the Group and other investors, the Group has the power to appoint and remove the majority of the board of directors of these subsidiaries. Relevant activities of the subsidiaries are determined by their boards of directors based on simple majority votes. Therefore, management of the Group concluded that the Group has control over the subsidiaries and the subsidiaries are consolidated in these financial statements.

3. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT AND GOING CONCERN

In determining the appropriate basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors and management are required to consider whether the Group can continue in business for the foreseeable future.

Financial performance of the Group is naturally dependent upon weather conditions in areas of operation and the wider economic environment of Ukraine. To mitigate these risks, the Group continues to implement its strategy of focusing on more profitable segments, crop farming and pig breeding, and improving their performance.

As discussed in the Group's last annual financial statements, management are not aware of any uncertainties which might jeopardize going concern, other than the outcome of the ongoing Russian Invasion, its impact on the security of the Group's assets and its long-lasting effects on Ukrainian economy. Management's analysis of the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Invasion, as well as management's strategy and actions to mitigate those risks, are outlined in Note 15 to these financial statements, as well as Note 3 of the Group's last annual financial statements.

The Board of Directors concluded that, based on the above analysis, and except for the uncertainty regarding the outcome of the ongoing Russian Invasion, its impact on the security of the Group's assets and its long-lasting effects on Ukrainian economy, there is reasonable expectation that the Group can continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are being issued. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Management have reviewed the following new and amended IFRS Standards and Interpretations and adopted the ones that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022:

• Amendment to IFRS 16 'Leases' Covid-19 related rent concessions;
• A number of narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37;
• Annual improvements to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41 and IFRS 16.

As a result of the review, management conclude that adoption of the above Standards and Interpretations will not have any material effect on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in both current and future periods.

5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of IFRS issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), and as adopted by the European Union.

Specifically, these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021 ('last annual financial statements').

These financial statements are condensed, i.e. they do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that management deemed significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements. Any changes in accounting policies during the interim period are also expected to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2022.

Functional and presentation currency

The currency of each consolidated entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency for the majority of the consolidated entities is the Ukrainian hryvnia. As the Group's management use USD when monitoring operating results and financial condition of the Group, the presentation currency of these financial statements is USD.

The exchange rates used for translating foreign currency balances were:

	USD	EUR
As at 31 December 2021	27.2782	30.9226
Average for the six months ended 30 June 2021	27.7792	33.4936
As at 30 June 2022	29.2549	30.7776
Average for the six months ended 30 June 2022	28.9066	31.7356
As at the date these financial statements are being issued	36.5686	37.3365

6. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management also make certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

As disclosed in Note 15, the Russian Invasion of Ukraine had started in late February 2022 and is ongoing as at the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued. Because the Group's key assets and operations are in Ukraine, a number of the Group's estimates, assumptions and judgments used to compile these consolidated financial statements might be significantly affected by these events. Furthermore, some assumptions involve varying degrees of uncertainty and would even be impossible to formulate at this time; especially those relating to the outcome of the Russian Invasion.

Where possible, the judgments and estimates used in these consolidated financial statements were updated to reflect the impact of the ongoing war events. However, adopting a more conservative approach, management only considered the events that had an unfavourable effect on such judgments and estimates.

The analysis of most significant judgments and estimates is presented below. Other judgments and estimates were the same as those that applied to the last annual financial statements.

Significant judgments and estimates	How they are determined, obtained, projected	Unfavourably affected by war events?	Updated in these financial statements
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment	Management expertise, based on historical patterns	No. No fighting occurred in close vicinity to the Group's assets
Allowance for lifetime expected credit losses	measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive)	No. The Group does not have customers in Russia. Credit risk is concentrated in a few local customers in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. No decrease in collectability observed so far, which makes it less likely to decrease in the future
Fair value of agricultural produce (fair value less costs to sell at the date of harvest)	with reference to market prices for grains and meat, which are obtained from external sources (commodity exchanges, independent industry statistics, state purchase prices)	No. Grain prices have only increased due to decreased supply. Meat prices are expected to increase

15. RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE. CURRENT SITUATION AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The Group's operations are predominantly in Ukraine. Ukraine has been engaged in a lengthy war with Russia since as early as February 2014, a war still ongoing as at the date these financial statements are being issued.

2014-2021: Euromaidan, Annexation of Crimea, and the War in Donbas

In February 2014, after a series of anti-government protests (called 'Euromaidan') swept the country, the President of Ukraine fled, and the new Interim Government had been formed. In March 2014, using this political instability, Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula, and then provoked and began actively supporting a continuing armed conflict between the Ukrainian army and Russian-backed separatists in the Donbas region of Ukraine. In May 2014, a new, pro-European, President of Ukraine was elected, and the country slowly started to recover.

The loss of Crimea, the conflict in Donbas, all resulted in radical market shifts for key export-oriented sectors. The Ukrainian economy suffered a deep slump throughout the whole of 2014 – 2016. As part of the government's stabilisation measures, the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") imposed numerous restrictions, including those on international money transfers. The Group lost a substantial chunk of its assets as a result of Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and NBU's restrictions imposed significant difficulties with timely repayment of loans to the Group's international creditors.

Most of these loans also became immediately due, and so the Group had to negotiate restructuring of the loans to be able to make payments in the new conditions. Restructuring eventually started in 2017, when a letter of intent was signed with the Group's largest creditors to confirm preliminary restructuring terms. By summer of 2020, the Group had successfully settled all of its major loans.

By summer of 2020 the economy also mostly recovered. Overall macroeconomic stabilisation was evidenced by a rise in domestic investment, revival in household consumption, increase in agricultural and industrial production, construction activity and improved environment on external markets. Consumer price inflation has slowed down to, and was expected to remain around, 5% in future years.

As of 23 February 2022, political and economic situation in Ukraine remained relatively stable.

2022: Russian Invasion

On 24 February 2022, Russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. After an initial series of air strikes, which targeted key military infrastructure, Russian ground troops moved in across the whole length of the state border between Russia and Ukraine (north-east and east), as well as south from the annexed Crimea.

More than 5.6 million Ukrainians (mostly women with children) fled the country to the neighbouring Poland, Romania, Moldova, Hungary and Slovakia within the first few weeks. A quarter of the Ukrainian population was internally displaced. The UN has described it as the fastest growing humanitarian crisis since World War II.

Ukraine's response

The President of Ukraine immediately enacted martial law and general mobilisation. Civilian volunteers who were not drafted into the regular Ukrainian Armed Forces were able to join the Territorial Defence Forces, which are local civilian defence militias officially recognised and supported by the Government of Ukraine. The President of Ukraine turned to the international community for support.

The Government of Ukraine issued upwards of USD 300 million worth of war bonds to fund additional military spending.

The National Bank of Ukraine suspended currency markets, fixed the official exchange rate of Hryvnia against foreign currencies, limited cash withdrawals in Hryvnia and prohibited withdrawal in foreign currencies. As at the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued, some limitations were gradually loosened, but most are still in place.

The Government of Ukraine also initiated several programs to support local businesses, including direct financial aid, subsidies, and tax breaks. Most prominently, the Government:

• introduced a single 2% turnover-based tax rate, as an option available to most Ukrainian businesses, in lieu of existing value-added tax and corporate income tax, effective from 1 April 2022.
• specifically committed to provide financial support to smaller agricultural producers ahead of the spring sowing campaign, in an attempt to thwart a possible food crisis that the war could ensue.

International response

In response to Russian aggression, a large number of countries began applying sanctions with the aim of crippling the Russian economy. The sanctions were wide-ranging, targeting individuals, banks, businesses, monetary exchanges, bank transfers, exports, and imports.

Several countries that are historically neutral, such as Switzerland and Singapore, have agreed to sanctions.

Sanctions also included cutting off major Russian banks from SWIFT and freezing assets of the Russian Central Bank, which held USD 630 billion in foreign-exchange reserves. By 1 March 2022, the total amount of Russian assets being frozen by sanctions surpassed USD 1 trillion.

While sanctions are intended to weaken the Russian economy, financial support from governments and international financial institutions towards Ukraine are instead directed to support the Ukrainian economy and help it stay afloat. For that purpose, the frozen (or otherwise ceased) Russian assets could be provided to Ukraine as reparations.

In addition to having sanctions imposed on Russia, in addition to receiving political and financial support from countries across the globe, Ukraine is also receiving indirect military support from other countries, particularly its European allies, through supply of weapons to defend against the Russian aggression.

Major multinational companies from various sectors of the economy, including largest energy companies, major credit card networks, technology companies, have disengaged from Russia in support of Ukraine.

Group's response

The Group has increased security around the pig farm and created a backup office in Chernivtsi, a city close to the western border of Ukraine and further away from the Russian aggression than the Group's main office in Dnipro.

Since most of the Group's production processes are vertically integrated, it is only dependable on suppliers of fertiliser, fuel, and pig feed. Therefore, during March and April of 2022, the Group:

• fully stocked with fertiliser and fuel for both, the sowing campaign of 2022 summer crops and the subsequent harvesting campaign of 2021 winter crops, to mitigate any potential risk of future shortage or logistical hurdles;
• procured a strategic three-month supply of raw materials for the production of compound feeds at its feed mill, to safeguard against the risk of temporary supply chain disruptions during wartime.

All these purchases were made in Ukrainian currency, so there is no foreign currency risk.

The Group also secured two tranches of additional financing from TASCOMBANK, the Group's main lender, in the amounts of UAH 40 million and UAH 60 million, respectively, (a total equivalent of USD 3.4 million of additional funds). These funds were used to prepay key production costs (fertiliser, fuel, feed components, and salaries) ahead of their anticipated price increases, as well as to fund the wartime reserve of key production supplies.

Current situation

Facing heavy resistance from both the regular Ukrainian Armed Forces and Territorial Defence Forces, Russian ground troops failed to gain a significant foothold in Ukraine fast enough and, after two weeks, their ground progress has essentially stalled. Around 1 April 2022, the Russian battalions attacking the northern regions of Ukraine ceased their assault and withdrew back to Russia, to join the other Russian forces in a unified attack on Donbas, in the east of Ukraine.

Even with all Russian forces now concentrated on Donbas, their progress is still very slow, which provides Ukaine's allies time to supply Ukraine with strategic weapons in order to bolster its defence and plan a counter-offensive.

Since the start of the Russian Invasion, no fighting occurred in close vicinity to the Group's assets. The Group's pig farm and its crop fields are located in the center of Ukraine, which hasn't seen any fighting yet.

As at the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued, the Group had successfully completed its spring sowing campaign, finished harvesting its winter crops and does not expect significant interruptions to its production cycle in the near future.

Management's Assessment of the Impact of the War

As at the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued, the War has been going on for 8 years already. But even amidst this war, Ukraine's economy and army have only been getting stronger. From 2016 and onwards, the exchange rates for the Ukraine's national currency Hryvnya have stabilised (data below is from NBU):

	2021	2020	2019	2018	2017	2016	2015	2014	2013
UAH for 1 EUR	32.3	30.8	28.9	32.1	30.0	28.2	24.2	15.7	10.6
UAH for 1 USD	27.2	26.9	25.8	27.2	26.5	25.5	21.8	11.9	7.9

And key macro-economic indicators have also improved (data below is from World Bank):

	2021	2020	2019	2018	2017	2016	2015	2014	2013
GDP, USD billion	164	155	154	131	112	93	91	134	190
Inflation, %	9.5	2.7	7.8	10.9	14.4	13.9	48.6	12.1	(0.3)

All of the Group's major problems in the past 8 years were the result of the ongoing war, but despite the difficulties, the Group still managed to overcome the odds and continues to do so.

The above indicators suggest that the Group has an obvious track record of persevering through adversity. And, from the improvement in macro-economic indicators, we may further derive that other Ukrainian businesses exhibit the same trait. A trait that seems to be in the DNA of Ukrainian people, serving as a testament that the victory will be eventually ours.

Ukraine already received overwhelming international support, both politically and economically. In addition to receiving donations from sympathisers (major financial institutions and governments) across the globe, the Government of Ukraine also issued several rounds of war bonds to finance its military. Other financial aid packages from abroad are on the way. This aid should help the Government to stabilise and more or less secure its pre-Invasion financial position, as well as keep key macro-economic projections at their pre-Invasion levels.

For regions of Ukraine that are further away from the fighting, the current crisis feels in a way just like the continuation of COVID, people got used to movement restrictions and business lockdowns.

And, drawing further comparisons with COVID, we believe that the expected financial aid packages would serve as the much-needed vaccine booster shot, increasing the country's financial immunity against the devastating effects of a war.

The Group's products, being basic food products, are always in demand, and remain in especially high demand in 2022, during war time.

During the last several months, the prices for both crops and pork have increased substantially. And the recent droughts in various parts of Africa, a region which already greatly depends on imports of wheat from Russia and Ukraine, are projected to increase the price of wheat even higher. According to the United Nations, Russia and Ukraine produce more than a quarter of global wheat exports.

As a result, both the July harvest of winter crops, as well as the planned harvest of summer crops due around September, in addition to constant supply of pork, should maintain the Group's profitability at a sufficient level to both support its operational needs, as well as funding any scheduled repairs and maintenance of equipment, for at least the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued.

Plans for the future

The Board is currently formulating a new development strategy to expand the Group's activity in the European Union, with a clear target to have the majority of the Group's assets and revenues in the EU within the next 3 to 5 years. This could be achieved through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and financed by a mix of own and borrowed funds, including additional issues of shares.

The Board does not plan to dispose of the Group's existing assets in Ukraine. On the contrary, the focus of the new strategy is to expand and invest, thereby reducing the potential risks of investing only in Ukraine and mitigating the negative effects on the Group's business of the current macroeconomic situation in Ukraine.
