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.

STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

Below are the highlights of how the Group has implemented its development strategy in 2020:

Strategy Implementation
Focus on pigs
breeding and
increase its
efficiency
Total revenues from pigs breeding and meat processing for the six months ended 30 June
2020 were USD 5.0 million. Total revenues from pigs breeding and meat processing for the
six months ended 30 June 2019 were at a comparable level of USD 4.9 million
The Group's pig complex continues to function as previously, despite the complications of the
coronavirus outbreak. All necessary security measures and guidelines are being adhered to,
with personnel screenings and disinfection activities being performed
Total sales of pigs for the six months ended 30 June 2020 were 52 thousand heads and total
farrow was 60 thousand heads
The construction of an additional fattening shop for 2,340 heads and an additional sow house
for 360 sows, planned to be completed later in 2020, will provide the Group with another
production facility for fattening pigs and will provide an opportunity to increase the birth rate
of piglets and improve their performance even more.
Increase the
efficiency of land
farming, search for
new contracts and
alternative revenue
sources
The total area of agricultural land controlled by the Group as at 30 June 2020 was
21 thousand hectares, of which 8 thousand hectares were under summer crops and
harvesting of winter crops on an area of 7 thousand hectares was under way
Total revenue from crop production for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was USD 0.5
million. As an alternative revenue source, the Group has used its agricultural equipment and
expertise to render land cultivation and similar land preparation services to other crop
producers for a total amount of an additional USD 1.9 million
The Group's spring sowing campaign has started in early April, as planned and largely
unaffected by the coronavirus outbreak
The Group's harvesting campaign for winter crops started in late June. As at 30 June 2020,
harvesting of barley was completed, followed in July and August by rapeseed and wheat.
The yield of wheat and barley in 2020, compared to 2019, increased by 7% and 48%,

management are committed to continue improving Group's liquidity and to bring net current
assets to a positive value within the next 12 months

IMPACT OF THE CORONAVIRUS COVID-19

The Board of Directors of the Company does not currently provide for the significant adverse effects of the coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic on the Group's financial results in 2020.

The Group is resistant to fluctuations in exchange rates because, at the moment, settlements in foreign currency do not constitute a significant share in the total cost structure. During 2019, the Group restructured most of its debt in foreign currency, while freeing up reserves in the amount of more than USD 10 million. Although a sharp increase in the exchange rates of Ukrainian Hryvnya against the US Dollar during March-May of 2020 resulted in recognition of significant forex losses, these losses are non-operating losses, primarily on revaluation of the Group's long-term loans, and therefore, are not expected to have an effect on the Group's operating results in the long-term, especially when the virus situation is resolved and the exchange rates return back to normal.

In addition, in order to minimise external risks, starting in 2014, the Group implemented the program to build a vertically integrated structure, a closed production cycle and reduce production costs. The Group focuses on pork production and its main market is the domestic market of Ukraine, where over the past months there has been an increase in both price and demand for pork. In addition, problems in international trade have led to blocking of the competitive products import. All this leads to an increase in the Group's sales and profit margins.

Despite this, the Board of Directors provides regular monitoring of the situation related to the consequences of the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 and the impact of the epidemic on the Group's activities. Caring for the health and safety of employees, the Group took a number of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at the Group's offices. Screening for staff temperature and disinfection activities are being carried out. Also, business trips and relocation of employees were reduced to the required minimum.

The Group will continue to provide information on adverse effects, if any, of the impact of COVID-19 on its activities through notices on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and on its website.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS

The following table sets forth the Group's results of operations for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019 derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements:

SIx months
2020
SIx months
2019
Change, %
In thousands of US dollars (unaudited) (unaudited)
Revenue 7,741 8,376 (8)%
Net change in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce 1,502 2,924 (49)%
Cost of sales (5,863) (9,653) (39)%
Gross profit 3,380 1,647 105%
Selling, general and administrative expenses (735) (589) 25%
Other operating income 45 282 (84)%
Operating profit 2,690 1,340 101%
Other expenses (671) (461) 46%
Finance income 2 4,930 (100)%
Finance expenses (998) (729) 37%
Gain/(loss) on foreign currency exchange, net (738) 1,089 (168)%
Gain/(loss) on disposal of subsidiaries - (685) (100)%
Profit before tax 285 5,484 (95)%
Income tax expense - (3) (100)%
Profit for the period 285 5,481 (95)%
Operating profit 2,690 1,340 101%
Depreciation and amortisation of non-current assets 827 899 (8)%
EBITDA 3,517 2,239 57%

Revenue and net change in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce are both lower by 8% and 49%, respectively, and primarily in the crop production segment, which is more affected by seasonality and weather conditions.

Total revenue from crop production for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was USD 0.5 million as compared to USD 1.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019, which included USD 0.9 million of sales of sunflower stored from the previous harvest. Net change in the fair value of crops was USD 0.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

As an alternative revenue source to hedge against the unpredictability of weather conditions, the Group has used its agricultural equipment and expertise to render land cultivation and similar land preparation services to other crop producers for a total amount of USD 1.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as compared to USD 1.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019. These revenues are currently presented as part of the 'other operations' segment.

Despite the lower output of the crop production segment, the Group managed to increase the margins in both of its main segments. Segment profits for the six months ended 30 June 2020 from crop production and pig breeding were, respectively, USD 0.7 million and USD 0.9 million as compared to, respectively, USD 0.8 million and USD 0.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

Accordingly, overall cost of sales is lower by 39% being USD 5.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 from USD 9.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019. And this trend of the relative decrease in cost of sales towards revenue is expected to continue. Main contributing factors are that the Group continues to use its own self-produced feeds instead of purchasing them, as well the commissioning of the upgraded manure separation station at the pig complex in July 2019, which helps the Group save on energy costs.

As a consequence, the Group's EBITDA for the six months ended 30 June 2020 increased by 57% to USD 3.5 million from USD 2.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

Going further, the construction of an additional fattening shop for 2,340 heads and an additional sow house for 360 sows, planned to be completed later in 2020, will provide the Group with another production facility for fattening pigs and will provide an opportunity to increase the birth rate of piglets and improve their performance even more.

Details by segment are disclosed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As of 4 August 2020, the Group has fully repaid its loan from LBBW, fixing the total amount of its bank and other loans at USD 29.3 million, the current portion of which being only USD 3.8 million. This was the Group's last overdue loan.

There were no other material subsequent events.

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 counterparties with individually material balances.

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had 7 counterparties (31 December 2019: 8 counterparties) with aggregate receivable balances above USD 150 thousand each. The total amount of these balances as at 30 June 2020 was USD 4,281 thousand (31 December 2019: USD 3,410 thousand) or 91% (31 December 2019: 47%) of financial accounts receivable.

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. Loans and borrowings issued at variable interest rates expose the Group to the interest rate risk. Loans and borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the fair value risk.

The sensitivities to market risks disclosed below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the factors may be correlated – for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.

Interest rate risk

Risk of changes in interest rate is generally related to interest-bearing loans. Loans issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Loans issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group is currently developing its policy on structure of fixed and variable rates loan portfolio. The Group's management analyses market interest rates to minimize interest rate risk.

Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.

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 primarily with bank loans, and trade and other payables. Key liquidity indicators are as follows:

In thousands of US dollars 30 June 2020
(unaudited)
31 December 2019
Total current assets 25,370 20,407
Total current liabilities (36,362) (43,893)
Net Current Assets (10,992) (23,486)
Current Assets to Current Liabilities Ratio 0.70 0.46

Management recognises that such low liquidity indicators in the past were, to a considerable extent, a result of unpaid and overdue loans, which, at the date these financial statements are being issued, have been fully repaid.

Management are now focused on the further restructuring and repayment of trade and other payables, which comprise 74% of total current liabilities as at 30 June 2020. Management are committed to improve Group's liquidity and to bring net current assets to a positive value within the next 12 months.

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.

Bank and other loans 31,690 29,260

Net debt 33,615 30,951
Total equity 9,493 11,322
Net Debt to Equity Ratio 3.54 2.73

The Group is currently developing its capital management policy. Management monitors on a regular basis the Group's capital structure and may adjust its capital management policies and targets following changes of 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.

Entities marked with * are located in Crimea. The Group has no operating control over them from October 2014, so deconsolidation of these entities was provided and net assets were written off to zero.

Entities marked with ** did not provide operational activity in 2020 and 2019 and are not consolidated due to immateriality. For Pererobnyk PE LLC, the Group has no operating control and accounts for its investment under the equity method, although it is not separately presented in these financial statements due to its immateriality.

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. The relevant activities of 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, Management are required to consider whether the Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial performance of the Group is naturally dependent upon weather conditions in areas of operation and the wider economic environment of Ukraine.

With the recent and rapid development of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, the world economy entered a period of unprecedented health care crisis that has already caused considerable global disruption in business activities and everyday life.

Many countries have adopted extraordinary and economically costly containment measures. Certain countries have required companies to limit or even suspend normal business operations. Governments of all countries where the Group operates have implemented restrictions on travelling as well as strict quarantine measures.

Industries such as tourism, hospitality and entertainment are expected to be directly disrupted significantly by these measures. Other industries such as manufacturing and financial services are expected to be indirectly affected and their results to also be negatively affected.

The financial effect of the current crisis on the global economy and overall business activities cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty at this stage, due to the pace at which the outbreak expands and the high level of uncertainties arising from the inability to reliably predict the outcome.

Management has considered all available information about the future, which was obtained after 30 June 2020, including the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on customers, suppliers and staff, as well as actual and projected foreseeable impact from various factors, such as the following:

  • whether the Group can continue to operate if staff were not able to physically be present;
  • the duration that the Group could survive given the availability of cash resources and the flexibility of its cost base;
  • whether there has been a significant decline in revenue;
  • whether there has been a significant erosion of profits due to higher costs or incurrence of unforeseen expenses;
  • whether there is a likelihood of potential breach of debt covenants as a result of the adverse impact on its financials;
  • whether there have been any concerns on the continuation of receipt of goods and services from suppliers.

Management has concluded that there is no significant impact in the Group's profitability position. The event is not expected to have an immediate material impact on the business operations.

Management will continue to monitor the situation closely and will assess the need for additional measures in case the period of disruption becomes prolonged.

4. Adoption of New or Revised Standards and Interpretations

The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS Standards and Interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020:

  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts;
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture;
  • Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a business;
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of material;
  • Conceptual Framework: Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards.

The adoption of the above Standards and Interpretations has not had any material effect on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements. However, following the clarified guidance of the new Conceptual Framework in respect of 'obscuring information', going forward the Group plans to change the order and format of certain disclosures where such change would improve the presentation of information to the primary users.

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2019 ('last annual financial statements').

These consolidated 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 2020.

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 uses USD when monitoring operating results and financial condition of the Group, the presentation currency of the financial statements is USD.

The exchange rates used for translating foreign currency balances are:

USD EUR
As at 30 June 2020 26.6922 29.9500
Average for six months ended 30 June 2020 25.9834 28.6091
As at 31 December 2019 23.6862 26.4220
Average for six months ended 30 June 2019 26.9316 30.4277
As at the date these financial statements are being issued 27.5266 32,3961

6. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and judgements 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 makes certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

The significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the last annual financial statements.

14. Operating Segments

The Group has four reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's strategic divisions. The strategic divisions offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic divisions, the Group's CEO reviews internal management reports on at least quarterly basis. The operations in each of the Group's reporting segments are:

  • Crop production. Crop production is focused on sunflower, wheat, barley, rapeseed and corn. The main factors affecting the crop production segment are climatic conditions, land quality, plant nutrition and moisture levels in the arable land.
  • Food Processing. Established relationships with retail chains provide the Group with opportunities to sell groceries and meat products. Currently the Group produces meat products such as sausages and meat delicacies for retail chains.
  • Pigs breeding. A segment which deals with pigs breeding and sale of pigs and piglets in live and dead weight.
  • Other operations. This operating segment includes the production of fuel pellets, thermal energy and rendering of services to third parties.

Performance is measured based on segment profit or loss, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group's CEO. Segment profit or loss is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the Group's segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

Seasonality of operations

Crop production segment, due to seasonality and implications of relevant reporting standards, in the first half of the year mainly reflects the sales of carried forward agricultural produce and effect of biological assets revaluation, while during the second half of the year it reflects sales of crops and effect of revaluation of agricultural produce harvested during the year. Also, crop production segment has seasonal requirements for working capital increase during November-May, to undertake land preparation work. Other segments are not significantly exposed to seasonal fluctuations.
