Dear investors and partners,
Now we are pleased to inform you about KSG Agro achievements and developments in 2014 financial year.
It is impossible not to mention that this year was probably the toughest in modern Ukrainian history and was full of unfavourable events and trends. The country, its society and Ukrainian businesses are faced with significant challenges, but we have clear vision and strong faith that will help us to overcome all obstacles at the way to the better future.
The Group, unfortunately, could not stay aside of problems that hit the country. Thus, the annexation of Crimea deprived KSG Agro of almost one third of its farming business. And although the war that began at the East of Ukraine have not hurt the Group directly, but it is very close to its core business activities. Dnepropetrovsk region adjoins with regions of anti-terrorists operation (ATO), and several employees of KSG Agro protect our homeland there. It is sadly to say, but there are killed and wounded among them.
Because of political and military instability, Ukrainian economy also significantly depressed. Ukrainian currency (hryvnia) considerably devalued and lost about half of its purchasing power during the year. Since assets and revenues of the Group are predominantly denominated in hryvnia whereas significant part of liabilities is denominated in foreign currencies, impact of weakening of the currency was extremely adverse. The economic situation was further complicated by continuing drop in global and Ukrainian prices on major commodities.
However, the Group has been adapting to changing business conditions and has developed new strategy, which focuses on more profitable segments. KSG Agro continues to successfully and efficiently develop its pig breeding business and achieved key operating and capacity targets set.
The Group has grounded expectations on positive results in the future. We hope that our thorough and hard work will allow us to achieve prosperity and profitability. We are optimistic that both Ukraine and KSG Agro have overcome the worse times and are at the beginning of the ascending trend.

Gain on initial recognition at fair value and net change in fair value of biological assets less estimated, decreased by 85.9% from USD 16.0 million for year ended 31 December 2013 to 2,2 million for the year ended 31 December 2014. The decrease for the year ended 31 December 2014 was mainly due to the revaluation of crops in the field, since more conservative prices of the crops, yields and increased discount rate (from 26.64% to 33.63%) were used and due to Crimea companies deconsolidation which contain almost 30% of Group's land bank. Besides, it is necessary to remind that sowed area is about one third less, comparing to prior period year-end (30 thousand hectares comparing to 45 thousand hectares).

In the light of plans for changing business strategy the Group entered into negotiations and discussions with some prospective buyers about sale of part of its farming entities. At the date of consolidated financial statements publishing there are no formal memorandum signed and no potential buyer found for a part of its farming entities.
On 9 March 2015, promissory notes issued to GEM were restructured. After the restructuring, the new schedule of payments was signed, and final repayment date was rescheduled to 1 January 2017. The effect of the restructuring on 2015 financial statements is estimated to be USD 103 thousand of other finance income.
In first half of 2015 year the bank 'Credit Agricole' due to Group overdue payments as of 31 December 2014 sued the Group with requirement to repay debt in amount USD 3,051 thousand and pay additional payments (fines, penalties, interest for the first half 2015, etc.) in total amount USD 920 thousand.

As of date of this financial statements the Group and bank were in sue process.
In first half of 2015 year bank 'Ukrsotsbank' sued the Group with demand to repay debt in amount USD 10,258 thousand due to breach of debt agreement payment schedule in first quarter of 2015 year. The Group negotiated and signed memorandum with bank 'Ukrsotsbank' for debt restructuring on next terms: Group is foreclosed ownership on previously pledged assets (PPE) in amount USD 4,396 thousand and immediately buy this assets in financial leasing from bank 'Ukrsotsbank'.
The banks with overdue payments and breach of covenants as of 31 December 2014 other than mentioned above didn't sue the Group due to continuing negotiations between Group and banks management.
The Group has plans to change it's business strategy from 2015 and next years by switching from harvesting of crops to meat production. The Group in process of calculation and analysing possibilities of such change and expects enhance of liquidity and profits. In case new strategy finally adopted the Group the part of land ha will be sold to third parties.
Big Dutchman Pig Equipment GmdH sued from September 01, 2015 Group Component Rantie LLC for repayment UAH 101,340 thousand (USD 4,600 thousand). As at February 15, 2016 negotiations were held between KSG Agro and representatives of the counterparty. As a result KSG Agro received a restructuration plan which is in the process of signing.
As at 30 September 2015 the Companies Unirem Agro Plus LLC, Dniproagrostandard LLC (Agricultural Company Chumaki LLC), Dniproagroprogress LLC, Agrofirm Vesna LLC , Vidrodzhennya LLC, Kolosyste LLC are de-consolidated due to the fact, that control was transferred to third parties. As result of disposal of Unirem Agro Plus LLC correspondent Goodwill in amount USD 525 thousand is fully deconsolidated. These Companies helds 24 thousands hectares agricultural lands and generated about 20% of Group revenue for the year 2014.
Also, as at the date of financial statement authorisation Companies Souz-3 LLC and Agrotrade LLC were in bankruptcy process according to lawsuits; KSG Agro Polska was in final stage of liquidation. Financial effect of these facts cannot be estimated reliably.
Weather conditions are a significant operating risk affecting the Group's crop growing operations. Weather not only directly impacts crop yields, but also the cost of, and the Group's ability to complete, harvests. Weather and other aspects of growing conditions may also lead to a greater use of fertilisers and other chemicals, which may also increase costs. Accordingly, the Group is highly susceptible to changes in the growing conditions of the regions in which it operates, as determined by the weather and otherwise, and the resulting impact on the production of crops. The Group irrigates not all land it farms and is therefore reliant on rainfall to water its crops. In the event of a shortage of rainfall the Group may lose some of its crops. Floods, heavy rainfall, snow and/or frost may also have an adverse effect on the Group's crops. The Group has no ability to control the effect of climate changes and poor weather conditions. Such factors may adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition. But used technology of direct sowing, irrigation and proper adopting of crop rotation are main risk reducing actions.
The Group's agro-industrial business also is subject to risks of outbreaks of various diseases. The Group faces the risk of outbreaks of diseases, which are highly contagious and destructive to susceptible livestock for its pig breeding operations. These and other diseases could result in mortality losses. Disease control measures were adopted by the Group to minimise and manage this risk. The Group's management is satisfied that its current existing risk management and quality control processes are effective and sufficient to prevent any outbreak of livestock diseases and related losses.
Under Ukrainian law, producers of agricultural products are permitted to choose between general and special regimes of taxation with respect to certain taxes. In particular, agricultural companies engaged in the production, processing and sale of agricultural products may apply to be registered as payers of fixed agricultural tax ("FAT"), provided that their agricultural production accounts for more than 75 per cent of total production for the preceding tax (reporting) year. FAT is paid in lieu of corporate income tax, land tax, duties for geological survey works and duties for trade patents.
The Ukrainian Government provides various types of support to domestic agricultural producers by providing subsidies, including partially reimbursing interest paid on credit facilities with Ukrainian commercial banks and costs for electric power supply used for irrigation of lands, subsidies for producing seeds and planting new gardens. The aggregate amount of the above-mentioned compensations and subsidies is determined annually in the state budget. The right to reimburse interest rate paid is granted to agricultural companies based on a tender procedure, while other subsidies are paid upon application of the producer.
State support currently received by the Company could be discontinued in the future.
As of 31 December 2014 the Group had litigations for repayment of existing payables (except loans payable) in amount USD 1,220 thousand and charging additional fines in amount USD 840 thousand that were continue for 2015 year. The Group estimates that such legal cases will be resolved in favor of Group and due to this no provision was recognized as of 31 December 2014.
The bank 'Credit Agricole' suit in 2015 year Group with requirement to repay debt in amount USD 3,051 thousand payable as of 31 December 2014 and pay additional payments (fines, penalties, interest for the first half 2015, etc.) in total amount USD 920 thousand. The Group management expects to agree with bank memorandum for restructure debt in 2015 and next years.
The Group had overdue and breach covenants debt agreements with banks as of 31 December 2014 in total amount USD 29,700 thousand. In case the banks (other than mentioned in Note #32 'Events after the Reporting Period') with overdue payments and breach of covenants as of 31 December 2014 start sue the Group at the date of this consolidated financial statements the total amount of debts that should be repaid is equal to USD 32,672 thousand and additional payments (fines, penalties, interest for the 1st half 2015, etc.) to be paid in total amount USD 644 thousand. The Group management actively conducts negotiations with banks and expects to agree with such banks memorandum for restructure debts with favorable conditions for both parties.
The Company has plans to change it business strategy from 2015 and next years by decreasing harvesting of crops and increasing meat production in proportion applicable for future growth. The Company in process of calculation and analyzing possibilities of such business strategy change and expects due to this enhance of future liquidity and profits. In case new strategy finally adopted by the Company, so the part of land hectares will be sold to third parties and more investments will be done in meat production.
The Group's financial performance is largely dependent on the disposable income of its customers in Ukraine and the countries of the Group's export as well as the price of key inputs for its end products, which are mainly impacted by the respective crop harvest in Ukraine and overseas.
The selling prices and operating costs associated with producing our products are volatile and are determined by market conditions.
If any or all of these factors depress prices or increase our operating costs, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Prices for fertiliser in Ukraine are highly influenced by global fertiliser prices. In the event of a rise in fertiliser prices the Group may either reduce the amount of fertiliser it uses, thereby potentially reducing crop yields, continue to acquire similar quantities of fertiliser at a higher price, thereby incurring greater costs, or employ a combination of these approaches. In addition, the Group purchases substantial quantities of crop protection chemicals which could also experience increases in price.
Such factors could materially affect the Group's costs and/or crop output and, as a result, the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Thus risk management procedures in procurement are based on ongoing cost structure monitoring (in particular, fuel expenditure) and wholesale purchases from long-term suppliers.
Due to the seasonality of the Group's business and its related short-term financing requirements, it may experience liquidity problems.
The Group is required to perform various agricultural operations, such as fertilising, planting and harvesting, during specific seasons in the agricultural calendar. The time period for completing these key operations is very limited. The Group is exposed to the risk of equipment breakdown or failure or injury to, or death of, personnel at all times. If any of these risks or other risks that may interrupt operations, such as poor weather, were realised during a key period in the agricultural calendar, the Group may have to incur significant expense to remedy the situation, which could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Due to the seasonal nature of the Group's business, the Group requires high levels of financing in the period immediately following the harvest to support the purchase of raw materials as they become available. The Group fulfils its seasonal financing requirements by obtaining credit lines from commercial banks, which are repaid in the course of the financial year or longer on the condition that its sales to customers are timely settled. If the majority of the Group's customers were unable or unwilling to fulfill their payment obligations in a timely manner, the Group would be forced to repay its credit lines from other resources, thus jeopardizing its liquidity.
The Group is subject to currency-related and interest rate risks.
Fluctuations in the value of USD, which is the Group's reporting currency, against other currencies, such as UAH, and EUR, have in the past had, and may have in the future, an adverse effect on the Group's results of operations. All domestic sales are in UAH, which is not a freely tradable currency. The results of domestic operations are reported in UAH and then converted into USD at applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Moreover, although most of
Group's contracts (such as lease agreements and goods supply contracts) are denominated in UAH, payments under certain of such contracts are calculated and adjusted based on the applicable exchange rate of UAH to USD or EUR on the date of payment. A change in the value of these currencies compared to UAH would have a negative effect on the Group's results of the operations. The Group also encounters currency exchange risks to the extent that it incurs operating expenses in a currency other than that in which it has obtained financing or those in which it generates revenues.
In the ordinary course of business, the Group does not enter into hedging transactions in order to manage the exposure to foreign exchange, currency and interest rate risks. The Group cannot assure prospective investors that any hedging transaction that it may enter into in order to protect against such risks will be successful or that shifts in currency exchange rates generally will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations.
As of now, the armed conflict at the East of Ukraine is at the phase of truce, and it has not spread to new regions of Ckraine (except for parts of Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts).
However, there is no guarantee that in the case of deterioration of political situation in Ukraine or decision of attack made by any party of the conflict, escalation of military actions will not affect the operations of KSG Agro. Being located in the region adjacent to the zone of ATO, the Group is exposed to the risk that escalated armed conflict will have direct impact on its activities by either destroying or damaging constructions and equipment owned or denial of physical access and control to fields which will result in inability to harvest crops.
This risk is hard to eliminate since its actual realization or not is totally out of control of the Group's management.
Management believes it is responding appropriately to all the risks identified in order to support the sustainability of the Company's business in the current circumstances.

To the Shareholders of KSG Agto S.A. 24, rue Astrid L-1143 LUXEMBOURG

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of KSG Agro S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, and the consolidated income statement consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consoliciated statement of cash flows for the ycar then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the Reviseur d'Entreprises Agrée's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risks assessments, the Reviseurs d'Entreprises Agréé considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity's internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse audit opinion.
We draw attention to Note 3 to consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Group during the year ended 31 December 2014 incurred a net loss of USD 78,841 thousand (2013 year - USD 28,836 thousand), incurred negative operating cash flows of USD 5,835 thousand (2013 year - USD 1,157 thousand), and, as of 31 December 2014, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by USD 61,839 thousand (2013 year - USD 25,097 thousand) and the Group's consolidated equity attributable to the owners decreased by USD 63,133 thousand (2013 year - USD 31,781 thousand). These evolutions were caused by the escalation of the political and economic crisis in Ukraine, sharp exchange rate volatility and annexation of Crimea which deprived Group of about 30% of its land bank. The validity of the going concen assumption depends upon successful implementation of the Group's new strategy and approval of its restructuring plan by its creditors. The Group actively conducts negotiations with its creditors but at the date of this report no formal agreements have been signed yet by a large part of debt counterparties. The consolidated financial statements assume that the Group will succeed in this regard.
However, in the light of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ending 31 March, 30 June and 30 September 2015, there are evidences that the Group probably will not fulfil its objectives in terms of sales (revenues targeted to USD 34.3 Mio for the year 2015 vs. USD 10.3 Mio as of Q3 2015) and liquidity (current ratio targeted to 1.1x for 2015 vs. current ratio of 0.47x, 0.19x and 0.28x respectively for Q1, Q2 and Q3 2015). These events indicate multiple material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not disclose the related up to date qualitative information regarding the status of its restructuring plan and the realisation of its business objectives that would enable the users of the consolidated financial statements to ensure the valuity of the underlying assumptions that supports going concern basis of preparation.
We were unable to apply audit procedures that permit to ensure the identification of all Group's open or potential lingations. As a result, we were unable to determine the completeness and accuracy of disclosures made in note 28 "Contingencies and commitments" and in note 32 "Events after the Reporting Period" of the consolidated financial statements and whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of provisions for litigations or any other impacts in balances or contingencies related to entities subject to open lingations. In addition, the unaudited stand-alone trial balance of the Group's mother company (the "Mother Company"), KSG Agro S.A., is indicative of current habilities that exceeded current assets by USD 458 thousand as of 31 December 2015. Also, we have identified that the Mother Company is sued in front of the Luxembourg courts for unpaid invoices. Those procedures may lead to the liquidation of the Mother Company. The consolidated financial statements do not disclose these facts.
For entitles classifying expenses by function IAS 1 requires to disclose additional information on the nature of expenses, including depreciation and amortisation expense and employee benefits expense. The consolidated financial statements do not include information regarding the nature of the expenses of the caption "Cost of Sales" amounting to USD 28,744 thousand and USD 69,230 thousand respectively for years ending 31 December 2014 and 2013.

As disclosed in Note 32 "Events after the Reporting Period" to the consolidated financial statements, the subsidiaries Souz-3 LLC was put in bankruptcy following court decisions subsequent to 31 December 2014. This implies that at the date of this opinion the carring anount of the goodwill of Souz-3 LLC should be nil. This information related to the value of this goodwill at the date of this opimon is not disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. In addition we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate information as to whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of the contributing balances or contingencies related to Souz-3 LI.C. as of 31 December 2014, namely regarding its goodwill amounting to USD 2,830 thousand as of this date.
As disclosed in Note 11 "Biblogical assets" to the consolidated financial statements, the Group in its operational activity uses area of approximately 63 thousand hectares as at 31 December 2014. The Group cannot provide analytics or other alternative information that permit us to confirm the correctness of the split of the actual expenses between the planted crops and land fallow (disclosed in Note 10 "Inventories and Agriculural Produce") in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2014. As a result we were unable to confirm the correctness of split expenses between the planted crops and land fallow, and accordingly we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of fair value crops and land fallow totalling 1,075 USD thousand as of 31 December 2014.
The Group could not provide the source documents regarding the promissory notes issued in the amount USD 269 thousand as of 31 December 2014 and disclosed in Note 19 "Promissory notes issued". We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means of the existence and the valuation of theses promissory notes. As a result, we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of the carrying value of the promissory notes issued as of 31 December 2014.
The recoverability of some long-term and short-term account receivables is supported by future cash flow budgets that are based on Management assumptions. As disclosed in the accounting policies on impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost, these assets incurred a loss event at year end as they are related to Ukrainian counterparties that are subject to adverse change in their payment status as a result of change in the local economic conditions. We were unable neither to obtain sufficient appropriate information that permis us to determine the adequacy of Management assumptions that support the recoverable value of these assets and nor to assess by alternative procedures their recoverability. Thereby we could not estimate whether long-term and short-term account receivables as of 31 December 2014 in the amount USD 1,129 thousand and USD 74 thousand respectively are subject or not to an impairment.
The recoverability of long-term promissory notes is supported by future cash flow budgets that are based on Management assumptions. As disclosed in the accounting policies on imparment of financial assets carried at amortised cost, these assets incurred a loss event at year end as they are related to Ukrainian counterparties that are subject to adverse change in their payment status as a result of change in the local economic conditions. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate information that permits us neither to determine the adequacy of Management assumptions that support the recoverable value of these assets and nor to assess by ahernative procedures their recoverability. Thereby we could not estimate whether long-term promissory notes receivable as of 31 December 2014 in the amount USD 570 thousand are subject or not to an impairment.
We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate information regarding the correctness of the following captions included in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 2014: change in inventories and agricultural produce (USD 38 thousand), exchange differences (USD 17,663 thousand), change in trade and other accounts receivable (USD 1,222 thousand), change in current biological assets (USD 2,350 thousand), change in trade and other accounts payable (USD 1,700 thousand), interest paid in operating activities (USD 2,841 thousand), income tax paid (USD 6 thousand), interest paid in investing activities (USD 505 thousand), proceds from bank loans and other borrowings (USD 4,344 thousand), repayment of bank loans (USD 10,789 thousand), term deposit received/placed (USD 9,530 thousand), repayment of financial lease liabilitics (USD 191 thousand) and effect of exchange rate differences on cash and cash equivalents

(USD 2,973 thousand). As a result, we were unable to determine whether corrections or adjustments might have been necessary in respect of these captions for the year 2014.
We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate information supporting the completeness of the Group's subsequent events, as a result, we were unable to determine whether adjustments or additional disclosures might have been necessary.
We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate information supporting the Group employee compensation expenses, as a result, we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of expenses for employee compensation amounting to USD 675 thousand for the year 2014.
In our opinion, because of the lack of disclosures of up to date information regarding going concern assumptions, the missing information regarding the nature of expenses of the caption "Cost of Sales", the lack of disclosures regarding open litigations and their potential impacts, and the missing disclosures regarding the impact on goodwill of the adverse events that occurred with Souz-3 LLC mentioned in the Basis for Adverse Opinion paragraph, the consolidated financial statements of KSG Agro S.A. do not give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2014, and of its consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013 were audited by another auditor who expressed a modified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on 2 August 2014. As of the date of this modified opinion, the predecessor auditor emphasised the existence of material uncertainties that might cast significant cloubt of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and the absence of reliable information on the assumptions of the 2014 budget. In addition the precessor auditor was unable to assess the completeness of all balances, transactions and off balance sheet commitments of KSG Agro Polska, a Polish subsidiary. Lastly the predecessor auditor put in evidence a potential tax risk regarding intra-group transactions with KSC Agricultural and Industrial Holding Limited, a Cyprus subsidiary that could lead to the recognition of additional tax provisions.
The management report, including the corporate governance statement, which is the responsibility of the Board of Directors, is consistent with the consolvated financial statements and includes the mionnation required by the law with respect to the Corporate Governance Statement.

Companies marked with * are located in Crimea. The Group has no operating control over them starting from October 01, 2014, so deconsolidation of these companies was provided and net assets were written off to zero.
Representative office in Poland (**) was closed in January 2014.
On the annual basis companies with voting rights less than 51% tests for the compliance with IFRS 10 regarding existence of control. In these consolidated financial statements presented subsidiaries with absolute control over operating activity and cash flows and total responsibilities for the incurred profits or losses.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousand US dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International as issued by the International Accounting Standards and interpritations of IFRS issured by International Financial Report and as adopted by the European Union. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the initial recognition of a share purchase warrant at fair value and the recognition of biological assets and agricultural produce based on fair value less costs to sell.
Going concern assumption. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The main assumptions used for the budget have been estimated by the management of the Group, based on their knowledge of their local market at a date near the approval of the consolidated financial statements. The Group management assumptions are based on following judgements:
The Group incurred a total comprehensive loss of USD 78,841 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of that date current liabilities of the Group exceeded its current assets by USD 61,584 thousand. The Group has negative net equity of USD 2,871 thousand as at December 31, 2014. This gives rise to a material uncertainty related to that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Operating companies of KSG Agro S.A. have accumulated losses to date, significant new business opportunities have arisen. In particular, these opportunities have arisen in pigs breeding segment. The management has included these new business opportunities within their scenario based forecasts and on this basis the management believes there is a
for the year ended 31 December 2014
reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the management continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Consolidated financial statements. Group recognise controls on subsidiary if next criteria are met:
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group (acquisition date) and are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest.
The Group measures non-controlling interest that represents present ownership interest and entitles the holder to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation on a transaction by transaction basis, either at: (a) fair value, or (b) the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of net assets of the acquiree. Non-controlling interests that are not present ownership interests are measured at fair value.
Goodwill is measured by deducting the net assets of the acquiree from the aggregate of the consideration transferred for the acquiree, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of an interest in the acquiree held management reassesses whether it identified all the assets acquired and all liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed and reviews the appropriateness of their measurement.
The consideration transferred for the acquiree is measured at the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, including fair value of assets or liabilities from contingent consideration arrangements but excludes acquisition related costs such as advisory, legal, valuation and similar professional services. Transaction costs related to the acquisition and incurred for issuing equity instruments are deducted from equity and all other transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group subsidiaries are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the cost cannot be recovered. The Company and all of its subsidiaries use
Non-controlling interest is that part of the net results and of the equity of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Group. Nonequity.
Goodwill. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is presented within intangible assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. It is carried at cost less accumulated impairment, if any. The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business from which the goodwill arose. Such units or groups of units represent the lowest level at which the Group monitors goodwill and are not larger than an operating segment.
Joint operations. The Group accounts for the interest in the joint operations to the extent of:
Depending on their classification financial instruments are carried at fair value or amortised cost as described below.
Fair value is price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
consideration of financial data of the investees are used to measure at fair value certain financial instruments for which external market pricing information is not available. Valuation techniques may require assumptions not supported by observable market data. Disclosures are made in these financial statements if changing any such assumptions to a
reasonably possible alternative would result in significantly different profit, income, total assets or total liabilities.
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place.
Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents (including employees acting as selling agents), advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognised at initial recognition less any principal repayments, plus accrued interest, and for financial assets less any write-down for incurred impairment. Accrued interest includes amortisation of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method. Accrued interest income and accrued interest expense, including both accrued coupon and amortised discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying values of related items in the statement of financial position.
The effective interest method is a method of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period, so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest (effective interest rate) on the carrying amount. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (excluding future credit losses) through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, if appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial instrument. The effective interest rate discounts cash flows of variable interest instruments to the next interest repricing date, except for the premium or discount which reflects the credit spread over the floating rate specified in the instrument, or other variables that are not reset to market rates. Such premiums or discounts are amortised over the whole expected life of the instrument. The present value calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Classification of financial assets. The Group classifies all of its financial assets as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are unquoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments other than those that the Group intends to sell in the near term. Loans and receivables are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method, net of provision for impairment after their initial evaluation. Loans and receivables that mature more than 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date are included into non-current assets. financial assets are long term receivables, promissory note receivables, term deposits, trade and other accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents.
Classification of financial liabilities. clude loans, borrowings, trade and other payables, financial lease, promissory notes issued and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).
Loans and borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Trade and other payables. Trade payables are accrued when the counterparty performs its obligations under the contract and are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial assistance payable. Financial assistance payable is initially recognised at the fair value and carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assistance is disclosed within trade and other payables.
Initial recognition of financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recorded at fair value. All other financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value plus transaction costs. Fair value at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs include only data from observable markets.
Derecognition of financial assets. The Group derecognises financial assets when (a) the assets are redeemed or the rights to cash flows from the assets otherwise expire or (b) the Group has transferred the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets or entered into a qualifying pass-through arrangement while (i) also transferring substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the assets or (ii) neither transferring nor retaining substantially all risks and rewards of ownership but not retaining control. Control is retained if the counterparty does not have the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party without needing to impose additional restrictions on the sale.
for the year ended 31 December 2014
Land lease rights. Land lease rights acquired in business combinations are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. When agreements on the right to lease land are renegotiated, the Group capitalises incurred costs relating to the agreement prolongation and revises useful lives of land lease rights based on the prolonged term. Recognized on consolidation lease agreements are amortized on straight line method over the term of the agreements without considering possible prolongation.
Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment items are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and, where applicable, accumulated impairment. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects, if the recognition criteria are met. All repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. 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 amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised. The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Construction-in-progress represents the cost of properties, plant and equipment which have not yet been completed less any accumulated impairment. This includes cost of construction works, cost of plant and equipment and other direct costs.
The Group leases the land on which its operations are located under operating lease agreements and therefore land is not included in the consolidated financial statements.
At each end of each reporting period management assesses whether there is any indication of impairment of property, plant and equipment. If any such indication exists, management estimates the recoverable amount, which is determined recoverable amount and the impairment is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment recognised for an asset in prior use or fair value less costs to sell. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives:
| Useful lives in years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and structures | 5-30 |
| Agricultural equipment | 3-15 |
| Vehicles and office equipment | 3-17 |
The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset less the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.
Operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor to the Group, the total lease payments are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has contracted to lease the asset together with any further terms for which the lessee has the option to continue to lease the asset, with or without further payment, when at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option.
Income taxes. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The income tax charge comprises current tax and deferred tax and is recognised in profit or loss for the year, except if it is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity because it relates to transactions that are also recognised, in the same or a different period, in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is the amount expected to be paid to, or recovered from, the taxation authorities in respect of taxable profits or losses for the current and prior periods. Taxes other than on income are recorded within operating expenses.
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with the initial recognition exemption, deferred taxes are not recorded for temporary differences on initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are not recorded for temporary
for the year ended 31 December 2014
differences on initial recognition of goodwill, and subsequently for goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, which are expected to apply to the period when the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry forwards will be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted only within the individual companies of the Group. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductions can be utilised.
Fixed agricultural tax. sing and sale of or special use of water objects, municipal tax, vehicle tax, duties for geological survey works and duties for trade patents if the revenues from sale of their self-grown agricultural products constitute not less than 75% of their total gross revenues. The amount of FAT is assessed at 0.15% on the deemed value of the land plots owned or leased by the entity (as determined by the relevant State authorities). As at 31 December 2014, 19 Ukrainian subsidiaries of the Group elected to
Value added tax. In Ukraine VAT is levied at two rates: 20% on sales and imports of goods within the country, works and services and 0% on the export of goods and provision of works or services to be used outside Ukraine. Output VAT on the sale of goods and services is accounted for on the date the goods/services are delivered to a customer or the date the payment is received from the customer, whichever is earlier. Input VAT is accounted for as follows: entitlement to an input tax credit for purchases arises when VAT invoice is received which is issued on the earlier of the date of payment to the supplier or the date, on which the goods/services are received or entitlement to an input tax credit for imported goods or services arises on the date the tax is paid.
VAT related to sales and purchases is recognised in the statement of financial position on a net basis and disclosed as an asset or liability to the extent it has been recorded in VAT declarations. Prepayments issued and prepayments received are disclosed in these consolidated financial statements net of VAT balances as it is expected that such balances will be settled by delivery of the underlying product or service.
The Group's subsidiaries involved in the production and sale of agricultural produce and that meet certain other criteria are subject to a privileged VAT regime. For such qualifying entities, the net VAT payable is not transferred to the State authorities, but is retained in the business for use in agricultural production. Such net VAT liabilities are credited to profit and loss as government grants.
Government grants. According to the Ukrainian VAT legislation VAT which agricultural producers charge on sales of agricultural produce, net of VAT paid on purchases, is not transferred to the State budget but can be retained for use in agricultural production. These government grants are recognised in profit or loss for the year once the Group makes the qualifying expenditures on agricultural supplies or equipment.
Biological assets. Biological assets represent crops in the field and livestock and are measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Crops in the field. The fair value of crops in the field is determined by using valuation techniques, as there is no market for winter crops and other long-term crops calculated as the present value of anticipated future cash flows from the asset before tax. The fair value calculation of crops in the field is based on the existing field under crops and the assessments regarding expected crop yield on harvest, time of harvest, future cultivation, treatment, harvest costs and selling prices. The discount rate is determined by reference to weighted-average cost capital based on risk profile of the Group.
Livestock. The fair value of non-current livestock is determined by using valuation techniques, as there is no market for sows of the same physical conditions, such as weight, age and breed. The fair value of livestock is based on expected litter of piglets, expected volume of meat at the date of slaughter, respective anticipated prices, average expected productive lives of the livestock and future production costs. The discount rate is determined by reference to current market determined pre-tax rate.
A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of a biological asset at the fair value less costs to sell and from a change in the fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset at each subsequent reporting date is included in income statement in the period in which it arises.
The biological assets are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected pattern of consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the biological assets. Dairy cattle, sows, fruit gardens and long-term grass are classified as non-current and livestock husbandry and winter crops are classified as current biological assets.
Cost of agricultural preparation of fields before seeding is recorded as work-in-progress in inventories. After seeding the cost of field preparation is reclassified to biological assets held at fair value.
Agricultural produce.
for the year ended 31 December 2014
less estimated costs to sell at the date of harvest.
Inventories. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventory is determined on the first in first out basis. The cost of work in progress comprises fuel and other raw material, direct labour, depreciation and amortization, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses.
Trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
Advances issued. Advances issued to suppliers are carried at cost less provision for impairment. An advance issued is classified as non-current when the goods or services relating to the prepayment are expected to be obtained after one year, or when the advance relates to an asset which will itself be classified as non-current upon initial recognition. Advances issued to acquire assets are transferred to the carrying amount of the asset once the Group has obtained control of the asset and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group. Other advances are written off to profit or loss when the services relating to the advances are received. If there is an indication that the assets or services relating to an advance will not be received, the carrying value of the advance is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost. Impairment are recognised in profit or loss when incurred as a have an impact on the amount or timing of the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. If the Group determines that no objective evidence exists that impairment was incurred for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics, and collectively assesses them for impairment. The primary factors that the Group considers in determining whether a financial asset is impaired are its overdue status and realisability of related collateral, if any. The following other principal criteria are also used to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment has occurred:
If the terms of an impaired financial asset held at amortised cost are renegotiated or otherwise modified because of financial difficulties of the counterparty, impairment is measured using the original effective interest rate before the modification of terms.
Impairment are always recognised through an al present value of expected cash flows (which exclude future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate of the asset. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
Uncollectible assets are written off against the related impairment provision after all the necessary procedures to recover the asset have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to impairment account within the profit or loss for the year.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any.
Share capital. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Share premium is the difference between the fair value of the consideration received for the issue of shares and the nominal value of the shares. The share premium account can only be used for limited purposes, which do not include the distribution of dividends, and is otherwise subject to the provisions of the legislation in Luxembourg on reduction of share capital.
Borrowing costs. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
for the year ended 31 December 2014
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Provisions for liabilities and charges. Provisions for liabilities and charges are non-financial liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. They are accrued when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Employee benefits - defined contribution plan. The Group makes statutory unified social contribution to the Pension Fund of Ukraine in respect of its Ukrainian based employees. The contributions are calculated as a percentage of current gross salary and are expensed when incurred.
Wages, salaries, unified social contribution to Pension Fund of Ukraine, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group.
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 hen monitoring operating results and financial conditions of the Group, the presentation currency of the financial statements is USD. All information in USD has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated. The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the relevant functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions and from the translation of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at year end, are recognized in profit or loss. Translation at year end does not apply to nonmonetary items.
When control over a foreign operation is lost, the previously recognised exchange differences on translation to a different presentation currency are reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss for the year as part of the gain or loss on disposal. On partial disposal of a subsidiary without loss of control, the related portion of accumulated currency translation differences is reclassified to non-controlling interest within equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
The exchange rates used for translating foreign currency balances were:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| USD/UAH as of 31 December | 15.7686 | 7.9930 |
| USD/UAH average for the year | 11.8739 | 7.9930 |
| EUR/UAH as of 31 December | 19.2239 | 11.0415 |
| EUR/UAH average for the year | 15.6833 | 10.6116 |
Revenue recognition. Revenues from sales of goods are recognised at the point of transfer of risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. If the Group agrees to transport goods to a specified location, revenue is recognised when the goods are passed to the customer at the destination point.
Revenues from rendering of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to stage of completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
Revenues are shown net of Value Added Tax and discounts. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Finance income and costs. Finance income and costs mainly comprise interest income and cash on equivalents and bank deposits, interest expense on borrowings and finance leases and exchange differences on borrowings.
Segment reporting. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
segments are reported separately.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements 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 accounting policies. Judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements and estimates that can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next year are:
Biological assets. In the absence of observable market prices for biological assets in their condition at the reporting dates, the fair value of biological assets was estimated as the present value of future net cash flows expected to be generated from the assets discounted at a current market-determined pre-tax rate.
Fair values of biological assets are based on the following key assumptions:
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between estimates and actual numbers. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of biological assets presented in Note 11.
Agricultural produce. Agricultural produce is the harvested product of the Group's biological assets. It is recorded at its estimated fair value less costs to sell, at the point of harvest. The determination of fair value for a biological asset or agricultural produce is facilitated by grouping the produce according to significant attributes; for example, by type or quality. The fair value of each group of agricultural produce at the end of the reporting period is determined as lower of the available average market price for similar products at the point of harvest and net realizable value. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between estimates and actual numbers. A 10% increase or decrease in market prices compared to the selling prices used would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of agricultural produce of USD 1,061 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 638 thousand).
Allowance for doubtful receivables. The Group periodically assesses recoverability of receivables from main debtors. In the case objective evidence of uncollectability is in place, allowance is provided for the amount of doubtful receivables. No allowance for receivables from related parties is charged. Additionally a general provision for doubtful debts is provided on all receivables due for more than 365 days.
Cost of inventories. At each reporting date the Group carries out assessment of goods for signs impairment of initial value. As at December 31, 2014 the Group's management uses method of individual assessment of each unit of goods. The same approach was used in 2013.
Goodwill. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is tested for impairment annually as at 31 December and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount (estimated under five-year cash flows financial plans) of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment is recognised. Impairment relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in the future periods.
Useful lives. Management estimates are necessary to identify the useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Management uses its expertise and judgment in reassessing the remaining useful lives of major items at each reporting date.
Subsidiaries. The Group consolidates the result of Parisifia Trading Ltd (Cyprus), KSG Energy Group Ltd (Cyprus) and Abondanza S.A. (Switzerland) although it only holds 50% of the voting rights, because it has the power to govern its financial and operating policies through arrangements with the other 50% shareholder. The Group also consolidates the results of Pererobnyk PrJSC, a company in which it holds 25% of the voting rights, because it has the power to govern its financial and operating policies through its sole presence in the supervisory and management boards of the company and ability to determine remuneration of its representatives in these governance bodies. Majority of the supervisory and management board members are employees of other entities of the Group. Judgement is required to determine whether
for the year ended 31 December 2014
the substance of the relationship between the Group and a subsidiary indicates that the entity is controlled by the Group. In making this judgement management considered arrangements with the other shareholders of the subsidiary.
Fair value measurement. Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available Note 16) and non-financial assets (Note 9, 11). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that case management uses the length transaction at the reporting date
Income tax and deferred taxes The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. 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 current tax and deferred tax provisions.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

In March 2014 the Crimea was occupied by the Russian Federation. Since July 2014, companies located in the territory of peninsula were reregistered under Russian legislation. Over time, these companies ceased to fulfill the instructions from Ukrainian management. The main reason for the loss of operational control is the fact that since October, local management was not able to carry out sowing of winter crops.
Due to a loss of operating control the Crimean companies were deconsolidated in September 2014. On the basis of related impacts were as follows:

effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 will not have any retrospective impact on the consolidated financial statements after it implementation.
After implementation potential impact from bearer plants accounting due to requirements IAS 16 would be as follows:
a) Cost model and net change in fair value of biological assets less estimated point-of-
b) Revaluation model - finishing of recognitio value of biological assets less estimated point-ofcomprehensive income and raise of depreciation expenses.

The Group performed its annual impairment test in December 2014. The Group considers the correlation of its net assets value against market capitalisation, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment.
Crop production CGUs (Soyuz-3, Unirem Agro, Agrotehnologiya, Other). The recoverable amount of these CGUs as at 31 December 2014 has been determined based on value in use calculation using cash flow projection from financial budgets approved by Management covering 5 years period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 33.63%. Other significant assumptions include crop yields and crop prices. Crop yields were derived based on average yields of the Group achieved in the five years preceding the budgeted period. For the purpose of impairment testing, the Group conservatively did not budget for any increase in yields. Crop prices were based on actual prices for the year preceding the budgeted year adjusted based on the commodity price forecasts. As a result (after forex impact UAH/USD from 7,993 at December 31, 2013 to 11,874 average for the year 2014), goodwill allocated to Agrotehnologiya LLC was impaired in full by USD 621 thousand (UAH 7,378 thousand), goodwill allocated to Dnipro LLC (part of Other) was impaired in full by USD 39 thousand and goodwill allocated to Agro-Golden LLC (part of Other) was impaired by USD 167 thousand. Goodwill allocated to all other companies is not impaired since their value-in-use exceeds their carrying value.
Apart from the considerations in determining the value-in-use, management is not currently aware of any other probable changes that would necessitate changes in its key estimates. However, the estimate of recoverable amount for the crop production is particularly sensitive to the crops market price. If the crops price used is decreased by 20%, a further impairment of USD 906 thousand would have to be written-off against goodwill.
As at 30 September 2015 the Companies Unirem Agro Plus LLC and Agrofirm Vesna LLC are de-consolidated due to the fact, that control was transferred to third parties. Also, as at the date of financial statement authorisation Company Souz-3 LLC were in bankruptcy process according to lawsuits

Basic earnings per share were calculated through dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company, by the average-weighted number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated through dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company (after adjustments to interest on convertible preference shares), by the average-weighted number common shares outstanding during the year plus the average-weighted number of common shares to be issued in case of the conversion of all potential common shares with dilutive effect. The Group has put options warrants which contingent realisation would have an anti-dilutive effect on basic earnings per share given that the strike price of the warrants is higher than the market price for underlying common stock (Note #16).

As at December 31, 2014 a related party pledged as collateral real estate of contractual value of USD 4,572 thousand for respective liabilities of the Group to the amount of USD 14,167 thousand (2013: contractual value of USD 6,783 thousand for respective liabilities of the Group to the amount USD 6,756 thousand).
The Group was not in compliance with certain loan covenants with respect to a loan of USD 16.457 thousand as at 31 December 2014 (2013: USD 1,360 thousand as non current). Consequently, non-current loan amounting to USD 16,457 thousand, which contractually matures in 2016, was classified as maturing within one year (2013: USD 1,360 thousand as non current).
As of December 31, 2014 the Group had loans payable (including interests) with overdue payments in amount USD 13,243 thousand. At the same time the Group is in negotiations with its creditors to achieve restructuring of its debts. Due to this breach and the fact that the negotiations with its finance providers had not been finalised by the end of the year, all the loans were classified into the short term borrowings of the Group. No pending litigation exists in respect with these cases.
Leased assets with the carrying amount of USD 1,268 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 8,082 thousand) are nce lease agreements. The Group has delayed payments in the amount of USD 79 thousand on these leases as at 31 December 2014 and therefore, according to the lease agreements, the lessor can require the immediate return of leased assets with the carrying amount of USD 1,268 thousand (2013: USD 8,082 thousand).
Management is negotiating on new schedule and terms of payments. Management assesses that provision should not be recognised as it is not probable that the Group incurs any losses because of the payment delay.

Credit risk concentration. The Group is exposed to the concentration of credit risk. Management monitors and
for the year ended 31 December 2014
discloses concentrations of credit risk by obtaining monthly reports with exposures to counterparties with the balances in excess of 1% of net assets.
At 31 December 2014, the Group had 4 counterparties (31 December 2013: 8 counterparties) with aggregated receivable balances above USD 150 thousand each. The total aggregate amount of these balances was USD 2,322 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 14,300 thousand) or 34% of the net amount of trade and other receivables (31 December 2013: 47%).
Market risk. The Group takes on 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.
The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. At 31 December 2014, if interest rate had been 5% higher with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been USD 3,015 thousand lower (2013: USD 81 thousand), respectively if interest rate had been 5% lower then profit after tax would have been decrease in the same amount. The impact on Equity would be the same as on the Profit&Losses.
Currency risk. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are

Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by an active quoted market price.
Fair value estimation. As at 31 December 2014 and 2013 the Group did not have financial assets carried at fair value.
Financial assets carried at amortized cost. Carrying amounts of trade and other financial receivables approximate their fair value.
Financial liabilities carried at amortized cost. Carrying amounts of trade and other payables, financial lease liabilities, promissory notes issued, bank and other borrowings approximate their fair values as at 31 December 2014 and 2013.
Liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of share purchase warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes model (Note 16). Management applies judgement in categorising financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of share purchase warrant the Group used valuation technique with inputs observable in markets, which is the Level 2 measurement.
