For the purposes of their analyses, the Company's management use Normalised Net profit, being Net profit adjusted for some expense items that are deemed to be substantially beyond their control, such as write-offs of property, plant and equipment and foreign currency exchange gains and losses, as well as items believed to be non-recurring. The non-recurring expenses currently include the effect of additional return on warrants (Note 27 to the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements), as it is assumed that similar transactions will not be occurring in the foreseeable future.
The Normalised Net profit for the periods presented is calculated based on historical information derived from the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The reconciliation to Normalised Net profit for the period (from continuing operations) is presented as follows:

| Effect of additional return | 2 550 | 3 221 | |
| Normalised Net profit | 36 652 | 31 105 | 18% |
The Company also uses normalised Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and normalised Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (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).
The Company calculates Normalised EBIT by adjusting Net profit for the expense items that are deemed to be substantially beyond the control of management, as well as items believed to be non-recurring. The Normalised EBIT for the periods presented is calculated based on historical information derived from the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The reconciliation to Normalised EBIT for the period (from continuing operations) is presented as follows:

| Non recurring items: | |||
| Effect of additional return | 2 550 | 3 221 | |
| Normalised EBIT | 40 957 | 35 969 | 14% |
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) is calculated as revenue less expenses, the latter excluding tax, interest, depreciation and amortisation. Being a proxy to the operating cash flow before working capital changes, EBITDA is widely used as an indicator of a company's ability to generate cash flows, as well as its ability to service debt. Consequently, to the management EBITDA serves as a measure to estimate financial stability of the Company. Besides, excluding the effect of depreciation and amortisation along with cost of capital and taxation provides to external users another measures comparable to similar companies regardless of varying tax environments, capital structures or depreciation accounting policies.
The Company calculates Normalised EBITDA by adjusting Net profit for the expense items that are deemed to be substantially beyond the control of management, as well as items believed to be non-recurring. The Normalised EBITDA for the periods presented is calculated based on historical information derived from the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The reconciliation to Normalised EBITDA for the period (from continuing operations) is presented as follows:

Company's Normalised Net profit, as well as Normalised EBIT and EBITDA increased in 3Q2018 in comparison with 3Q2017 mainly due to increase in gross profit - the growth in crops yields entailed increase of gain from changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
2. Basis of preparation of the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and as adopted by the European Union. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2017.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on principal accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments that are set out below. These accounting policies and assumptions have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Companies comprising the Group which are incorporated in Ukraine maintain their accounting records in accordance with Ukrainian regulations. Ukrainian statutory accounting principles and procedures differ from those generally accepted under IFRS. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared from the Ukrainian statutory accounting records for the entities of the Group domiciled in Ukraine, reflect adjustments necessary for such financial statements to be presented in accordance with IFRS.
Going concern
These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the disposal of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The recoverability of Group's assets, as well as the future operations of the Group, may be significantly affected by the current and future economic environment. Management believes that Group has reliable access to sources of financing capable to support appropriate operating activity of Group entities. These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments should the Group be unable to continue as going concern.
Basis of measurement
The Condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared under historical cost basis except for the revalued amounts of property, plant and equipment, biological assets and agricultural produce.
The Group's management has decided to present and measure these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements in United States Dollars ("USD") for the purposes of convenience of users of these financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements involves the use of reasonable accounting estimates and requires the Management to make judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies. These estimates and assumptions are based on Management's best knowledge of current events, historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable. Note 4 contains areas, related to a high degree of importance or complexity in decision-making, or areas where assumptions and estimates are important for amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates ("the functional currency"). For the companies of the Group operating in Ukraine the Ukrainian Hryvna ("UAH") is the functional currency. For the companies operating in Cyprus and Luxembourg the functional currency is Euro ("EUR").
These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in the thousands of United States Dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise indicated.
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All exchange differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income with the exception of all monetary items that provide an effective hedge for a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in equity.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
The principal exchange rates used in the preparation of these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:
| Currency | 30 September 2018 |
Average for the nine months ended 30 September 2018 |
31 December 2017 |
30 September 2017 |
Average for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 |
31 December 2016 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAH/ USD | 28,298262 | 26,94936 | 28,067223 | 26,521094 | 26,47106 | 27,190858 |
Translation into presentation currency
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:
-
assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the official rate at the date of the balance sheet;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rate for the period, unless fluctuations in exchange rates during that period are significant, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions;
-
all the equity and provision items are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions;
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income;
-
in the consolidated statement of cash flows cash balances at the beginning and end of each presented period are translated at rates prevailing at corresponding dates. All cash flows are translated at average exchange rates for the periods presented. Exchange differences arising from the translation are presented as the effect of translation into presentation currency.
Principles of consolidation
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.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. 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.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Financial statements of Parent company and its subsidiaries, which are used while preparing the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements, should be prepared as at the same date on the basis of consistent application of accounting policy for all companies of the Group.
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
3. Summary of significant accounting policies
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.
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.
Property, plant and equipment of acquired subsidiaries are initially recognised at their fair value which is based on valuations performed by independent professionally appraisers.
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.
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.
Property, plant and equipment or their essential component are written-off in a case of their disposal or if future economic benefits from use or disposal of such asset are not expected. 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 the other incomes (expenses) in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management. Depreciation of an asset ceases when the asset is derecognized. Depreciation does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use and held for disposal unless the asset is fully depreciated.
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| - | Buildings | 15-55 years |
|---|---|---|
| - | Machinery | 5-30 years |
| - | Motor vehicles | 5-20 years |
| - | Other assets | 5-20 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Land is not depreciated.
Construction in progress comprises costs directly related to the construction of property, plant and equipment, as well as the relevant variable and fixed overhead costs related to the construction. These assets are depreciated from the moment when they are ready for operation.
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in other income (expenses) when the asset is derecognized.
The Group determines whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite.
Useful life of intangible assets is indefinite if the Group suggests that the period during which it is expected that the object of intangible assets will generate net cash inflows to the organization has no foreseeable limit. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but reviewed for impairment.
Amortisation of intangible assets is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date they are available for use. The following estimated useful lives, which are re-assessed annually, have been determined for classes of finite-lived intangible assets:
- Land lease rights 5-15 years
- Computer software 5 years
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 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.
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.
Biological assets
The biological assets are classified as non-current and current depending on the expected pattern of consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the biological assets.
The following categories of biological assets are distinguished by the Group:
- Non-current biological assets of plant-breeding at fair value;
- Non-current biological assets of cattle-breeding at fair value;
- Current biological assets of plant-breeding measured at fair value;
- Current biological assets of cattle-breeding measured at fair value.
The Group assesses a biological asset at initial recognition and at each balance sheet date at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs, except for the cases where the fair value cannot be determined with reasonable assurance.
Gains or losses from movements in the fair value of biological assets less estimated selling and distribution expenses of the Group are recorded in the period they are incurred in the statement of comprehensive income as Gain (loss) from changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce, net.
The Group capitalizes expenses between the reporting dates into the cost of biological assets.
- Biological assets of plant-breeding
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
The capitalized expenses include all the direct costs and overhead costs related to the farming division. Such costs may include the following costs: raw materials (seeds, mineral fertilizers, fuel and other materials), wages and salaries expenses of production personnel and related charges, amortization and depreciation, land lease expenses and other taxes, third parties' services and other expenses related to the cultivation and harvesting of biological assets of plant-breeding.
- Biological assets of animal-breeding
The capitalized expenses include all the direct costs and overhead costs related to the livestock breeding. The types of costs that are capitalized in the current biological assets of animal breeding are the following: fodder, means of protection of animals and artificial insemination, fuel and other materials, wages and salaries expenses of production personnel and related charges, amortization and depreciation, third parties' services and other expenses related to the current biological assets of animal breeding.
All expenses related to the non-current biological assets of cattle breeding are included into the cost of milk. Respectively the Note of non-current biological assets does not include any capitalized costs.
The expenses on works connected with preparation of the lands for future harvest are included into the Inventories as work-in-progress. After works on seeding on these lands the cost of field preparation is reclassified to biological assets held at fair value.
Agricultural produce
The Group classifies the harvested product of the biological assets as agricultural produce. Agricultural produce is measured at its fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. The difference between the cost and fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest of harvested agricultural produce is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as Gain (loss) from changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce, net.
After the initial recognising as at the date of harvesting agricultural produce is treated as inventories. Agricultural produce measurement as at the date of harvest becomes inventories' cost to account.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
The cost of agriculture produce is its fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvesting.
The cost of work in progress and finished goods includes costs of direct materials and labor and other direct productions costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Costs are capitalized in work in progress for preparing and treating land prior to seeding in the next period. Work in progress is transferred to biological assets once the land is seeded.
The cost of inventories is assigned by using FIFO method.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The Group periodically analyses inventories to determine whether they are damaged, obsolete or slow-moving or if their net realizable value has declined, and makes an allowance for such inventories. If such situation occurred, the sum remissive the cost of inventories should be reflected as a part of other expenses in statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets
The Group's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, other receivables.
Management determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every balance sheet date. Financial assets are classified in the following category at the time of initial recognition based on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired:
"Loans and receivables" that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. This category includes landings given that appeared owing to issuance of facilities to debtor. Receivables include trade and other accounts receivables.
Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
The category of financial assets "Loans and receivables" is subsequently measured as follows:
- Receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
- Borrowings issued are measured at amortized cost less impairment losses.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial assets of the Group are assessed for indications of impairment at each reporting date. Allowance for impairment is accrued using forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the assets original effective interest rate.
The Group applies the standard's simplified approach and calculates ECLs based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Group establishes a provision matrix that is based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Prepayments and other non-financial assets
Prepayments are reflected at nominal value less VAT and accumulated impairment losses, other non-financial assets are reflected at nominal value less accumulated impairment losses.
Prepayments are classified as non-current assets when the goods or services relating to the prepayment are expected to be obtained after one year, or when the prepayment relates to an asset which will itself be classified as non-current upon initial recognition.
A given to the Management option to purchase the Group's shares is classified as deferred expenses in the amount of exceeding of quoted share price under subscription price with impact on share premium in equity. The deferred expenses are recognized as expenses of the period in the line Wages and salaries of administrative personnel and related charges during the term of exercising of the option.
If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services relating to a prepayment will not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is recognised as a part of other expenses in statement of comprehensive income.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank and cash in hand, call deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, share purchase warrant.
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value minus directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group classifies its financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Any difference between amount of received resources and sum to repayment is recorded as interest expenses in statement of comprehensive income at effective interest rate method during the period, when borrowings were received.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the income statement.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Group as a lessee
Leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are classified as finance leases. Assets held under finance lease are included in property, plant and equipment since the commencement of lease at the lower of the fair value of leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are earned. Costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease income are recognized as an expense.
Taxation
Income tax
Income tax expense represents the amount of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Income tax expenses are recorded as expenses or income in the statement of comprehensive income, except when they relate to items directly attributable to other comprehensive income (in which case the amount of tax is taken to other comprehensive income), or when they arise at initial recognition of company acquisition.
i. Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting date, in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
ii. Deferred income tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; - in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except:
-
where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Single tax 4th group (previously Fixed agricultural tax)
According to effective legislation, the Ukrainian consolidated companies of the Group involved in production, processing and sale of agricultural products may opt for paying single tax 4th group in lieu of income tax, land tax and some other local taxes if the revenues from sale of their own agricultural products constitute not less than 75% of their total (gross) revenues. The single tax 4th group is assessed at 0,95% on the deemed value of the land plots owned or leased by the entity. As at 30 September 2018, 5 of the companies comprising the Group were elected to pay single tax 4th group (2017: 5).
VAT output equals to the total amount of VAT collected within a reporting period, and arises on the earlier of the date of shipping goods to a customer or the date of receiving payment from the customer. VAT input is the amount that a taxpayer is entitled to offset against his VAT liability in a reporting period. Rights to VAT input arise on the earlier of the date of payment to the supplier or the date goods are received.
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized less VAT amount, except cases, when VAT arising on purchases of assets or services, is not recoverable by tax authority; in this case VAT is recognized as part of purchase costs or part of item of expenses respectively. Net amount of VAT, recoverable by tax authority or paid, is included into accounts receivable and payable, reflected in consolidated statement of financial position.
Other taxes payable
Other taxes payable comprise liabilities for taxes other than above, accrued in accordance with legislation enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. The Group discloses information about contingent liabilities in the Notes to financial statements if any, except for the cases where fulfillment of contingent liabilities is unlikely; because of the remoteness of the event (possible repayment period is more than 12 months). The Group constantly analyzes contingent liabilities to determine the possibility of their repayment. If the repayment of a liability, which was previously characterized as contingent, becomes probable, the Group records the provision for the period in which repayment of the obligation has become probable. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements, but disclosed in the Notes where there is a reasonable possibility of future economic benefits.
Share capital
Ordinary shares issued are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction. Any excess of the fair value of consideration received over the par value of shares issued is presented in financial statements as Share premium.
Share based payment
Management Incentive Plan defined an option for a Management to purchase the Group's new shares under the subscription price. The issue of these new shares has an impact on Equity – it increases the line Share capital in the amount of subscription and the line Share premium in the amount that quoted share price exceeds subscription price. At the same time the deferred expenses were recognized in the amount of share premium. The deferred expenses are recognized as expenses of the period in the line Wages and salaries of administrative personnel and related charges during the term of exercising of the option.
Dividends
Dividends are recognized as a liability and deducted from shareholders' equity at the balance sheet date only if they are declared before or on the balance sheet date. Dividends are disclosed when they are proposed before the balance sheet date or proposed or declared after the balance sheet date but before the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements are authorized for issue.
Value added tax (VAT)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Earnings per share
Earnings per share are determined by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to the owners of parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group.
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
Sales of goods
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised at the point of transfer of all risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, normally when the goods are shipped. 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. The Group uses standardised INCOTERMS which define the point of risks and reward transfers.
Rendering of services Revenue from rendering services is recognized at the moment of transfer to the customer control over the product or service.
Income from the exchange of property certificates
When the items of property, plant and equipment are acquired in exchange for non-cash asset (property certificate), the initial value of such assets is estimated at fair value. The difference between the price paid for property certificates and the fair value of received items of property, plant and equipment is recognized as income in the period of the exchange operation.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. Investment income resulting from temporary investment of received borrowing costs, until their expensing for the purchase of capital construction objects, shall be deducted from the cost of raising borrowing costs that may be capitalized.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Group's Condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Used estimates and assumptions are reviewed by the Management of the Group on a continuous basis, by reference to past experiences, current trends and all available information that is relevant at the time of preparation of financial statements. Adjustments to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the change affects only that period or in the period of the revision and subsequent periods, if both periods are affected.
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, Management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts reflected in the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Fair value of property, plant and equipment
The Group engages an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment on a regular basis.
The assessment is conducted in accordance with International Valuation Standards for property. The assessment procedure is carried out for all groups of property, plant and equipment. The fair value of items of property, plant and equipment is estimated on the basis of comparative and cost plus approaches.
The comparative approach is based on an analysis of sales prices and offers of similar items of property, plant and equipment, taking into account the appropriate adjustments for differences between the objects of comparison and assessment item. Based on the application of this approach, the fair value of property, plant and equipment is determined on the basis of their market value.
The cost approach involves the definition of present value of costs of reconstruction or replacement of the assessment item with their further adjustment by the depreciation (impairment) amount. Based on the application of this approach, the fair value of certain items of property, plant and equipment is determined in the amount of the replacement of these items. The cost plus method is adjusted by the income method data, which is based on the discounted cash flow model. This model is most sensitive to the discount rate, as well as to the expected cash flows and growth rates used for the extrapolation purposes. Judgments of the Group in determining the indices used in the appraisers' calculations may have a significant effect on the determination of fair value of property, plant and equipment, and hence on their carrying amount.
The fair value of property, plant and equipment of all the Group's companies has been measured as at 31 December 2017 by an independent appraiser LLC "Asset Expertise" (ODS Certificate No.439/15 as of 25 May 2015 issued by State Property Fund of Ukraine) (Note 17).
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment owned by the Group are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives, which are calculated in accordance with business plans and operating calculations of the Group's Management with respect to those assets.
The estimated useful life and residual value of non-current assets are influenced by the rate of exploitation of assets, servicing technologies, changes in legislation, unforeseen operational circumstances. The Group's management periodically reviews the applicable useful lives. This analysis is based on the current technical condition of assets and the expected period in which they will generate economic benefits to the Group.
Any of the above factors may affect the future rates of depreciation, as well as carrying and residual value of property, plant and equipment.
There were not any changes in accounting estimates of remaining useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment in reported periods.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The Group carries out revaluations on a regular basis and conducts a full valuation exercise if there is an indication of impairment. An impairment review is conducted at the balance sheet date. To test property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for impairment, the Group's business is treated as three cash generating units: farming division, livestock breeding and storage and processing. The recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit is determined on the basis of value in use. The amount of value in use for the cash-generating unit is determined on the basis of the most recent budget estimates prepared by management and application of the income approach of valuation.
As at 30 September 2018 and 2017 impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was not identified (Note 17, 18).
Fair value of acquisition of subsidiaries
The Group engages an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Acquisitions often result in significant intangible benefits for the Group, some of which qualify for recognition as intangible assets. Significant judgment is required in the assessment and valuation of these intangible assets, often with reference to internal data and models.
The estimation of fair value of assets and liabilities is based upon quoted market prices and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses. Such estimates include assumptions about inputs to our discounted cash flow calculations, industry economic factors and business strategies.
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Fair value of biological assets
Due to an absence of an active market for non-current biological assets for cattle-breeding and biological assets of plants-breeding in Ukraine, to determine the fair value of these biological assets, the Group used the discounted value of net cash flows expected from assets as at reporting date. Fair value is determined based on market prices and a current market-determinated pre-tax rate as at the date of valuation.
The fair value of current biological assets of cattle-breeding is measured using market prices as at reporting date. The fair value is determined based on market prices of livestock of similar age, breed and genetic merit.
The income from recognition of biological assets at fair value for the nine months ended 30 September 2018 amounted to USD 49 671 thousand (USD 39 841 thousand for the nine months ended 30 September 2017) (Note 6).
Fair value of agricultural produce
The Group estimates the fair value of agricultural produce at the date of harvesting using the current quoted prices in an active market. Costs to sell at the point of harvest are estimated based on expected future selling costs that depend on conditions of sales agreements. The fair value less costs to sell becomes the carrying value of inventories at the date of harvesting.
The income from recognition of agricultural produce at fair value for the nine months ended 30 September 2018 amounted to USD 13 195 thousand (USD 12 634 thousand of losses for the nine months ended 30 September 2017) (Note 6).
Inventories
As at the reporting date the Group assesses the need to reduce the carrying amount of inventories to their net realizable value. The measurement of impairment is based on the analysis of market prices for similar inventories existing at the reporting date and published in official sources. Such assessments can have a significant impact on the carrying amount of inventories.
Besides, at each balance sheet date, the Group assesses inventories for surplus and obsolescence and determines the allowance for obsolete and slow moving inventories. Changes in assessment can influence the amount of required allowance for obsolete and slow moving inventories either positively or negatively.
At the reporting date the item Work-in-progress includes investments in the future harvest. The cost of these investments is based on expenses incurred during the current year. Investment valuation model includes a number of judgments of management about the benefits to be extracted from the utilization of such investments in the future. Management's estimates of the value of investments is based on the recommendations of scientific sources and agronomic calculations of the internal services of the Group.
For the nine months ended 30 September 2018 shortages and losses due to impairment of inventories amounted to USD 172 thousand (USD 345 thousand for the nine months ended 30 September 2017) (Note 11).
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is determined by applying various valuation methodologies. Management uses its judgment to make assumptions based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flows model. Management uses discounted cash flow analysis for various loans and receivables as well as debt instruments that are not traded in active markets. The effective interest rate is determined by reference to the interest rates of instruments available to the Group in active markets. In the absence of such instruments, the effective interest rate is determined by reference to the interest rates of active market instruments available adjusted for the Group's specific risk premium estimated by Management.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
- Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
Impairment of trade and other accounts receivable
Management evaluates the recoverability of trade and other accounts receivable by estimating the likelihood of its collection. These estimations are based on an analysis of individual accounts. The amount of impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Management estimates the future cash flow by taking into consideration the following: analysis of trade and other accounts receivable in accordance with the contractual credit terms allowed to customers; the collection history of customers; the general economic conditions, the specifics of industry and the financial position of customers.
As at 30 September 2018 allowances for accounts receivable were recognized in the amount of USD 39 thousand (USD 44 thousand as at 30 September 2017) (Note 24).
Impairment of other financial and non-financial assets
Management assesses whether there are any indicators of possible impairment of other financial and 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.
As at 30 September 2018 allowances for other financial and non-financial assets were recognized in the amount of USD 58 thousand (USD 7 thousand as at 30 September 2017) (Note 24).
Taxation
The Group mostly operates in the Ukrainian tax jurisdiction. The Company'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.
As a result of unstable economic situation in Ukraine, tax authorities in Ukraine pay more and more attention to the business cycles. In connection with it, tax laws in Ukraine are subject to frequent changes. Furthermore, there are cases of their inconsistent application, interpretation and execution. Non-compliance with laws and norms may lead to serious fines and penalties accruals.
Management at every reporting period reassessed the Group's uncertain tax positions. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting period and any known Court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the reporting period.
The Group considers that it operates in compliance with tax laws of Ukraine, although, a lot of new laws about taxes and transactions in foreign currency have been adopted recently, and their interpretation is rather ambiguous.
Legal proceedings
The Group's Management makes significant assumptions in estimation and reflection of the risk of exposure to contingent liabilities related to current legal proceedings and other unliquidated claims, as well as other contingent liabilities. Management's judgments are required in assessing the possibility of a secured claim against the Group or material obligations, as well as in determining probable amounts of final payment or obligations. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the evaluation process, actual expenses may differ from the initial calculations.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
These preliminary estimates are subject to changes as new information becomes available from the Group's internal specialists, if any, or from third parties, such as lawyers. Revisions of such estimates may have a significant impact on future operating results.
Operating environment
In 2014, Ukraine was faced with political and economic turmoil. Crimea, an autonomous republic of Ukraine, was effectively annexed by the Russian Federation. Ukraine also suffered from military aggression from Russia and the collapse of law enforcement in Lugansk and Donetsk regions.
The Ukrainian Hryvna devalued against major foreign currencies. The National Bank of Ukraine introduced a range of measures aimed at limiting the outflow of customer deposits from the banking system, improving the liquidity of banks, and supporting the exchange rate of the Ukrainian Hryvna.
Significant external financing is required to support economic stabilization and the political situation depends, to a large extent, upon success of the Ukrainian government's efforts; yet further economic and political developments are currently difficult to predict and an adverse effect on the Ukrainian economy may continue.
Management is monitoring the developments in the current environment and taking actions where appropriate.
The Group does not have assets in Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
New and amended standards and interpretations
Applying of new standards
The Group has initially adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers and IFRS 9 Financial instruments from 1 January 2018.
The adoption of IFRS 9 has not material effect on the classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets and liabilities. All financial assets and financial liabilities continue to be measured at the same bases is previously adopted under IFRS 39.
The adoption of IFRS 15 has not material effect on Group's revenue measurement and recognition.
Standards and Interpretations in issue but not effective
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016. The new standard will supersede all current lease guidance when it becomes effective. IFRS 16 is effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, but not before an entity applies IFRS 15. The Group plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.
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.
The new standard also requires to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.
As at 30 September 2018 the Group has operating land lease commitments in the amount USD 129 803 thousand and operating machinery lease commitments in the amount USD 67 thousand. IAS 17 does not require the recognition of any right-of-use asset or liability for future payments for these leases, but relating information is disclosed in Note 38. A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 and the Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a liability in respect of these leases.
The Management is assessing the potential impact of the new standard and does not have the accurate estimation of such impact, but anticipates that the application of IFRS 16 will have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.

As at 31 December 2009 the related revaluation surplus of USD 14 766 thousand was initially recognized in equity, as at 31 December 2010 it was additionally recognized in the amount of USD 4 326 thousand.

(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
Management Incentive Plan
The Extraordinary shareholders meeting approved on 4 July 2017 a management incentive plan providing to Management Team Members and Eligible Employees as defined in the Management Incentive Plan an option to purchase in aggregate up to 1,878,000 new shares of IMC S.A., such number being equal to 6% of the issued stock of IMC S.A. as at the adoption date of such plan, at the price decided at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company which shall be equal to at least one euro cent EUR 0.01.
Performance period of the Management Incentive Plan is 3 years, starting from January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2019. During the Performance Period, the board of directors of the Company may discretionarily decide when the Shares shall be issued by the Company to the Participants at the Subscription Price. As a part of this incentive plan, 1 878 000 new ordinary shares were issued with subscription price USD 0.00115. As at the 31 December 2017 the purchase option was fully exercised with share price USD 2.73.
27. Share purchase warrant
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.
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.
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.
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 19 742 748 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 18,46%.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousand USD, unless otherwise stated)
The fair values of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities listed hereinbefore reflect the amounts that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The financial assets and financial liabilities are primarily valued using standard calculations / models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. Industry standard data providers are the primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest rates and currency rates, with resulting valuations periodically validated through third party or counterparty quotes.
The Group's non-derivative financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other financial assets, accounts payable, other financial liabilities, loans and borrowings. At 30 September 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of these financial instruments, excluding longterm debt, approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. The major part of the long-term loans and borrowings has floating interest rates and other has fixed interest rates but they are corresponded to the market rate level, so the Management of the Group believes that book value of long-term loans and borrowings approximates their fair value.

Loans and borrowings and interests are repaid in the amount of USD 409 thousand.
