The Company also uses normalised Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and normalised Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation andamortisation (EBITDA) as key measures of its performance.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is an indicator of a company's profitability, calculated as revenue less expenses, the latter excluding tax and interest. To external users, EBIT provides information on the Company's ability to generate earnings directly from its operations, disregarding its cost of capital and the tax burden and thus making the Company's results comparable to similar companies across the industry where those companies may have varying capital structures or tax environments. To the management, EBIT provides a performance measure additionally adjusted for expenses that may be deemed fixed (i.e. stemming from the given capital structure) or externally imposed by the environment (i.e. the tax burden).

REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D'ENTREPRISES AGREE
To the Shareholders ofIMC S.A. 16, rue Erasme L-1468 Luxembourg
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of IMC SA and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidatedstatement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significantaccounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2018, andof its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by theEuropean Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the EU Regulation N°537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession (Law of 23 July 2016) and with International Standards onAuditing (ISAs) as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier" (CSSF). Our responsibilities under the EU Regulation N°537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession (Law of 23 July 2016) and the ISAs are further described inthe «Responsibilities of "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements » section of our report. We are also independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with theethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the annual accounts, and have fulfilled ourother ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of matter - operating environment
We draw attention to note 4 "operating environment" to the consolidated financial statements,which describes the current situation in Ukraine. The impact of the political and economic crisisin Ukraine and their final resolution are unpredictable and may adversely affect the Ukrainianeconomy and the operations of IMC S.A. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation of biological assets (notes 20 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements)
Biological assets (non-current and current) are valued at initial recognition and at each balance sheet date at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs.
Estimating the fair value is a complex process as it is based on discounted cash flows and involves various inputs requiring significant judgments and estimates. As a consequence, we have determined the valuation of biological assets as a key audit matter.
Our procedures were as follows:
- Considering the appropriateness of the model used by the Group and its consistency with prior periods ;
- Reviewing the inputs used in the calculation, such as yields, prices… through comparison with internal supporting documentation including prior years' actual data and external data ;
- Verifying whether the model is arithmetically correct ;
- Reviewing the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgments and sensitivity analysis.
Existence and valuation of inventories - Work in progress – (notes 3, 4, 8 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements)
Inventory contains a significant portion of work in progress linked to preparation of the lands for future harvest.
Estimating the costs to be allocated to the work in progress is a complex process as it is based on judgments of management using the recommendations of scientific sources and agronomic calculations of the internal services of the Group.
As a consequence, we have determined the existence and valuation of work in progress as a key audit matter.
Our procedures were as follows:
- Confirming the existence of lands in preparation for future harvest through year end observation on a sample basis;
- Reviewing the main assumptions underlying the costs allocation used by the Group (standard direct and indirect costs allocated to hectares of land on the basis of different factors such as the type of crop and the geographical location of the land);
- Applying a control on a sample basis of the input data used by the Group in their costs allocation model to internal supporting information and documents;

Ourprocedures were as follows:
-
- Confirming the existence of lands in preparation for future harvest through year endobservation on a sample basis;
-
- Reviewing the main assumptions underlying the costs allocation used by the Group (standarddirect and indirect costs allocated to hectares of land on the basis of different factors suchas the type of crop and the geographical location of the land);
-
- Applying a control on a sample basis of the input data used by the Group in their costsallocation model to internal supporting information and documents;
-
- Reviewing the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures ofkey assumptions and judgments.
Going concern
As mentioned in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group is mainly activeinUkraine.
In 2014, Ukraine was faced with political and economic turmoil, including the annexation by theRussian Federation of Crimea and separatist movements in Lugansk and Donetsk regions.
Even though the Group has no assets in the regions mentioned above, the Group suffered fromtheconsequences of these events on the Ukrainian economy.
The Group is to a significant extent financed by banks and financial institutions, through loan contracts with covenants. Loans and borrowings represent 29.6 % of total liabilities and equity asat 31 December 2018.
Assessment on going concern is largely dependent on forecasts and estimates made bymanagement.
Wetherefore have considered going concern as a key audit matter.
Our procedures were as follows:
-
- Obtaining and evaluating the assessment made by management on going concern;
-
- Challenging the reasonableness of the key assumptions underlying the business plan andcash flow forecasts, through a review of past performance and comparison with prior forecasts, a review of the sensitivity analyses of the models, where possible a comparison of the assumptions with external data;
- Verifying that based on the conditions of the contracts, the bank covenants are met as at31 December 2018, and that these are expected to be met based on the forecast prepared by the management until 31 December 2019;
- Evaluating whether events and developments since the beginning of the year 2019 mayhave an impact on the business plan and forecasts.

Other information
The Board of directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the single management report and the CorporateGovernance Statement but does not include the consolidated financial statements and ourreport of "Réviseur d 'Entreprises Agréé" thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information andwedonotexpressanyformofassuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, weconclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for theconsolidated financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union,and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable thepreparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" for the audit of the consolidatedfinancial Statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidatedfinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and withISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement whenitexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the EU Regulation N°537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment andmaintainprofessionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriatetoprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
-
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- . Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
- . Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report of "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report of "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé".However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
- . Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of theentities and business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision andperformance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that We identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Subsidiaries Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their revalued amounts that are the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount. Property, plant and equipment are stated at their revalued amounts that are the fair value at the date ofrevaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount.
If there is no data about the market value of property, plant and equipment due to the nature of highly specialized machinery and equipment, such objects are evaluated according to acquisition expenses under present-day conditions, adjusted by an ageing percentage. If there is no data about the market value of property, plant and equipment due to the nature of highly specialized machinery and equipment, such objects are evaluated according to acquisition expenses under present—day conditions, adjusted by an ageing percentage.

Valuations are performed frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of a remeasured asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount as at reporting date.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of property, plant and equipment are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the line Revaluation reserve. Decreases in the carrying amount as a result of a revaluation are in profit or loss. However, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Decrease related to previous increase of the same asset is recognized against other reserves directly in equity. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of property, plant and equipment are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the line Revaluation reserve. Decreases in the carrying amount as a result of a revaluation are in profit or loss. However, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Decrease related to previous increase of the same asset is recognized against other reserves directly in equity.
The revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred directly to retained earnings as the asset is used by an entity (in the amount that is the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset's original cost) and when the asset is derecognized (in the full amount). The revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred directly to retained earnings as the asset is used by an entity (in the amount that is the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset's original cost) and when the asset is derecognized (in the full amount).
Subsequent major costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that these replacements will materially extend the life of property, plant and equipment or result in future economic benefits. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other day-to-day repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is impossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. \Where it is impossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of a cash—generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the net present value of expected future cash flows, discounted on a pre-tax basis, using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money.

Value in use is the net present value of expected future cash flows, discounted on a pre—tax basis, using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money.
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash—generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Provision for expected credit losses Provision for expected credit losses
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate expected credit losses for financial assets. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is initially based on the Group's historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

Impairment of non-financial assets Impairment of non-financial assets
Management assesses whether there are any indicators of possible impairment of non-financial assets at each reporting date. If any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the current value of the assets may not be recoverable or the assets, goods or services relating to a prepayment will not be received, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of assets. If there is objective evidence that the Group is not able to collect all amounts due to the original terms of the agreement, the corresponding amount of the asset is reduced directly by the impairment loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Subsequent and unforeseen changes in assumptions and estimates used in testing for impairment may lead to the result different from the one presented in the financial statements.

Taxation Taxation
The Group mostly operates in the Ukrainian tax jurisdiction. The Group's management must interpret and apply existing legislation to transactions with third parties and its own activities. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for direct and indirect taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The interpretation clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initialy recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance comsideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. Such approach should be applied to all leases operation except leases of low-value assets and short-term leases.

According to the Warrant Agreement entered into between the Group and International Finance Corporation (IFC) as at 20 December 2013, IFC had the right to purchase up to 3 098 700 shares of IMC S.A. (representing equivalent of 9,90% of issued share capital) for a total amount up to USD 20 000 thousand. The warrant was exercisable at any time up to 19 December 2018. According to the \'Varrant Agreement entered into between the Group and International Finance Corporation (IFC) as at 20 December 2013, IFC had the right to purchase up to 3098 700 shares of IMC SA. (representing equivalent of 9,90% ofissued share capital) for a total amount up to USD 20 000 thousand. The warrant was exercisable at any time up to 19 December 2018.
But according to the IFC Loan agreement dated 19 December 2013 if all of the warrants have not been exercised by 19 December 2018, and if only some of the warrants have been issued, the portion of the Additional return which shall be payable shall be calculated by multiplying USD 21 000 thousand by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of warrant shares not subscribed for pursuant to IFC loan agreement during the exercise period and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of warrant shares. This obligation to pay the additional return is an unconditional and independent debt obligation according to the IFC loan agreement. But according to the IFC Loan agreement dated 19 December 2013 ifall of the warrants have not been exercised by 19 December 2018, and if only some of the warrants have been issued, the portion of the Additional return which shall be payable shall be calculated by multiplying USD 21 000 thousand by a fraction the numerator ofwhich is equal to the number ofwarrant shares not subscribed for pursuant to IFC loan agreement during the exercise period and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of warrant shares. This obligation to pay the additional return is an unconditional and independent debt obligation according to the IFC loan agreement.
As at 30 June 2016 According to the Amendment to Loan agreement between IMC S.A. and International Financial Corporation the Additional Return had to be paid by IMC S.A. to International Financial Corporation. Amount of Additional Return had to be paid in a lump sum payment not later than 19 December 2018 in an amount USD 21 000 thousand or in two instalments as follows: USD 11 000 thousand on 19 December 2018 and USD 11 800 thousand on 19 December 2019. All the warrants according to the Warrant agreement dated 20 December 2013 were cancelled on 22 December 2016. As at 30 June 2016 According to the Amendment to Loan agreement between IMC SA. and International Financial Corporation the Additional Return had to be paid by IMC S.A. to International Financial Corporation. Amount ofAdditional Return had to be paid in a lump sum payment not later than 19 December 2018 in an amount USD 21 000 thousand or in two instalments as follows: USD 11 000 thousand on 19 December 2018 and USD 11 800 thousand on 19 December 2019. All the warrants according to the \Warrant agreement dated 20 December 2013 were cancelled on 22 December 2016.
In its treatment until 2015 year end, the Group determined fair value of the share purchase warrant by applying Black-Scholes model to determine its value as an option to purchase shares, embedded in the loan with the non-resident bank IFC of USD 30 000 thousand. The Group also treated this value separately from the host instrument, recognizing a separate loss in the amount of initial fair value of the option, and thereafter recognizing changes in that fair value at a fair value through profit and loss. At the same time, the Group considered the obligation to pay the additional return of USD 21 000 thousand, included in the Warrant Agreement, as a contingent liability since it expected the IFC to exercise its warrants to buy shares. This judgment represented an error. In its corrected treatment at year end 2016, the Group considers the additional return of USD 21 000 thousand as an obligation associated with the IFC loan. Accordingly, it has included it as an expected cash flow in calculation of the effective interest rate implicit in the loan, used in determining the amortized value of the loan instrument regarded as a whole. The effective interest rate thus determined is 17,46%.

In September 2017 new terms of payment of additional return were agreed. In accordance with new terms the amount of additional return is USD 19 742 708 and should be paid in 5 portions starting September 2017 till June 2020. The amortized value of the loan instrument was regarded with effective interest rate of 20,76% (18,46% as at 31 December 2017).
