CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY (cont.)

For the six months ended 30 June 2019

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

• In accordance with the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, Section 55 (2) the share premium reserve can only be used by the Company in (a) paying up unissued shares of the Company to be issued to members of the Company as fully paid bonus shares; (b) writing off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the Company; and (c) providing for the premium payable on redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of any debentures of the Company.
• Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the Special Contribution for the Defence of the Republic Law, during the two years after the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer, will be deemed to have distributed this amount as dividend. Special contribution for defence at 17% will be payable on such deemed dividend to the extent that the owners (individuals and companies) at the end of the period of two years from the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer are Cyprus tax residents. The amount of this deemed dividend distribution is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defence is paid by the Company for the account of the owners.

The above requirement of the Law is not applied in the case of the Company due to the fact that its owners are not residents in Cyprus for tax purposes.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2019 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the ''Group'').

2.1 Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 ''Interim Financial Reporting'' and were not audited by the external independent auditors of the Group. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018.

2.2 Basis of measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following:

• Biological assets and agricultural produce, which are stated at fair value less costs to sell (agricultural produce is measured at fair value at the point of harvest)
• Debt securities which are stated at amortised cost
• Investments designated at fair value through profit or loss.

2 . BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

The functional currencies of the companies of the Group are the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) and United States Dollar (USD). The currency of Cyprus is Euro, but the principal exposure of the parent undertaking is in US dollars, therefore the functional currency of the Company is considered to be USD. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group's companies are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. The Group's management decided to use US dollar (USD) as the presentation currency for financial and management reporting purposes. Exchange differences arising are classified as equity and transferred to the translation reserve.

The exchange rates used in preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, are as follows:

Currency	30 June 2019	Average for the	31 December	Average for the	31 December
		six months	2018	six months	2017
		ended 30 June		ended 30 June
		2019		2018
US dollar - UAH	26,1664	26,9316	27,6883	26,7462	28,0672

2.4 Going concern basis

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the course of ordinary economic activity. Renewals of the Group's assets, and the future activities of the Group, are significantly influenced by the current and future economic environment in Ukraine. The Board of Directors and Management are closely monitoring the events in the current operating environment of the Group as described in note 24 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and has assessed the current situation and there is no indication of adverse effects while at the same time are taking all the steps to secure Group's short and long term viability. To this effect, they consider that the Group is able to continue its operations as a going concern.

2.5 Standards and interpretations

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations

As from 1 January 2019, the Group adopted all changes to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by EU which are relevant to its operations. This adoption did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group except for IFRS 16 "Leases". The effect from the adoption of IFRS 16 on Group's accounting policies is described in note 3.1.

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2019 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted them in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

For the six months ended 30 June 2019

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as described below in note 3.1, the accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018.

3.1 Changes in significant accounting policies

The Group has initially applied IFRS 16 "Leases" from 1 January 2019. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to achieve consistent application of the accounting policies applied by the Group.

IFRS 16 introduces a signle on-balance sheet accounting model for lesees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies.

The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 January 2019. Accordingly, the comparative information for 2018 has not been restated - i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and related interpretations. The details of the changes in accounting policies are described below.

a) Definition of a lease

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4 "Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease". The Group now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.

b) As a lessee

The Group leases many assets, including plough-land, properties and equipment.

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most of leases - i.e. these leases are onbalance sheet.

For the six months ended 30 June 2019

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

3.1 Changes in significant accounting policies (cont.)

However, the Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value assets or short-term leases (under 12 months). The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group presents its right-to-use assets as a separate caption and includes the related lease liabilities in loans and borrowings in its consolidated statement of financial position.

i) Significant accounting policies

The Group recognises a right-to-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The rightof-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extention is reasonable certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has applied contractual lease terms in the measurement of its right-to-use assets. Upon expiration of the contractual lease term the related right-to-used asset is derecognised, with subsequent extention of contractual lease term being treated as a recognition of a new right-to-use asset.

ii) Transition

Previously, the Group classified its property leases as operating leases under IAS 17. These mainly include leases of plough-land from individuals. A portion of such leases acquired in prior periods within business combinations were capitalised as intangible assets under the category "Land Lease Rights".

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019. The land lease rights previously capitalised as part of business combinations have been derecognised.

For the six months ended 30 June 2019

(in USD thousand, unless otherwise stated)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

3.1 Changes in significant accounting policies (cont.)

The Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

• applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term;
• excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

c) As a lessor

The accounting policies applicable to the Group as a lessor are not different from those under IAS 17. The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 in which it acts as a lessor.

d) Impacts on consolidated financial statements

i) Impact on transition

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognised additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, and derecognised previously capitalised land lease rights, with the resulting difference being recorded in retained earnings. The impact on transition is summarised below:

Financial statements captions	1 January 2019
Right-of-use assets in relation to land leases	17 171
Lease liabilities	17 171
Intangible assets - land lease rights	(3 653)
Retained earnings	(3 653)

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating lease, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 17.6%.

ii) Impact for the period

As a result of initially applying IFRS 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases, the Group recognised USD 15 552 thousand of right-to-use assets and USD 17 511 thousand of lease liabilities as at 30 June 2019.

Also in relation to those leases under IFRS 16, the Group has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating lease expenses. During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group recognised USD 1 619 thousand of depreciation charges and USD 1 406 thousand of interest expenses from leases.

On 26 December 2012, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement with Stiomi Agri Limited ('Seller') for the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Limited Liability Company 'Skhid Potencial-Resurs'. The parties agreed that the price for transfer of the company's shares shall amount to USD 10 000 000.

On 3 September 2013 both agreements for the acquisition of PE "Peredilske" and of LLC "Skhid-Potencial-Resurs" have been cancelled. The parties agreed that the whole amount paid should be returned to the Company within twelve months of the signing of the cancellation agreements, either in cash and/or an equivalent market value's worth of agricultural goods.

Due to political and economic developments and military conflict in Eastern Ukraine, Stiomi Agri Limited is currently unable to repay this amount to the Group. It is highly probable that this amount will never be recovered, therefore an impairment loss for USD 33 080 thousand was recognised in 2014.

22. OPERATING SEGMENTS

A reportable segment is a separable component of a business entity that produces goods or provides services to individuals (or groups of related products or services) in a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and generates revenues other than risks and income of those components that are peculiar to other reportable segments.

Reportable segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. All reportable segments' results are reviewed regularly by the Group's CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.

For the six months ended 30 June 2019 the Group identified the following reportable segments, which include products and services, that differ by levels of risk and conditions of generation of income:

• Plant breeding
• Livestock
• Vegetable oil and protein meal
• Other
• (i) Plant breeding segment raises and sells agricultural products and renders accompanying services. The main types of agricultural produce which are sold in this reportable segment are wheat, rye, barley, sunflowers, rape and sunflower oil. The main services which are sold in this reportable segment are ploughing, handling and grain storage services.
• (ii) Livestock segment raises and sells biological assets and agricultural products of cattle breeding. The main biological assets and agricultural products which are sold in this reportable segment are poultry, cattle, pigs and milk.
• (iii) Vegetable oil and protein meal is a new segment the Group started disclosing in 2017. It represents the processing of own sunflower seeds into sunflower oil and protein meal using outsourced production facilities.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitors the operating results of each of the unit separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and evaluation of operating results.

Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Group financing (including finance expense and finance income) and income taxes, are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

23. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

The Group's operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions. In particular, the cultivation of crops is adversely affected by winter weather conditions, which occur primarily from January to March. The first half of the year typically results in lower revenues and results for cultivations.

As a result of the annual cycle of crops producing and the Group's attempts to take an advantage of seasonal price changes by managing inventory in its storage facilities, the Group's Plant breeding segment is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Profits of this segment tend to be higher in the first half of a year.

24. OPERATING ENVIROMENT

Cyprus economic environment

The Cyprus economy has been adversely affected during the last few years by the economic crisis. The negative effects have to some extent been resolved, following the negotiations and the relevant agreements reached with the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial assistance which was dependent on the formulation and the successful implementation of an Economic Adjustment Program. The agreements also resulted in the restructuring of the two largest (systemic) banks in Cyprus through a "bail in".

The Cyprus Government has successfully completed earlier than anticipated the Economic Adjustments Program and exited the IMF program on 7 March 2016, after having recovered in the international markets and having only used €7,25 billion of the total €10 billion earmarked in the financial bailout. Under the new Euro area rules, Cyprus will continue to be under surveillance by its lenders with biannual post-program visits until it repays 75% of the economic assistance received.

Although there are signs of improvement, especially in the macroeconomic environment of the country's economy including growth in GDP and reducing unemployment rates, significant challenges remain that could affect the estimates of the Company's cash flows and its assessment of impairment of financial and non-financial assets.

Ukrainian economic and political environment

The Group conducts its operations mainly in Ukraine. Ukraine's political and economic situation has deteriorated significantly since 2014. Following political and social unrest in early 2014, in March 2014, various events in Crimea led to the accession of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation, which was not recognised by Ukraine and many other countries. This event resulted in a significant deterioration of the relationship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Following the instability in Crimea, regional tensions have spread to the Eastern regions of Ukraine, primarily Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In May 2014, protests in those regions escalated into military clashes and armed conflict between supporters of the self-declared republics of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and the Ukrainian forces, which continued throughout the date of these financial statements. As a result of this conflict, part of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions remains under control of the self-proclaimed republics, and Ukrainian authorities are not currently able to fully enforce Ukrainian laws on this territory.

24. OPERATING ENVIROMENT (cont.)

Ukrainian economic and political environment (cont.)

During 2015 and 2016 the anti-crisis measures undertaken by the Ukrainian government and NBU as well as financing through the extended fund facilities (EFF) agreed with International Monetary Fund (IMF) enabled the country to achieve a certain level of economic and political stability and provided the basis for economic recovery on the territory controlled by Ukraine. In 2016 and 2017 Ukraine's GDP grew by 2.3% and 2.1% respectively. This allowed NBU to ease some foreign exchange restrictions imposed since 2014, including a decrease in the share of the mandatory foreign currency conversion to 65% and permission of dividends remittance. However, certain other restrictions were prolonged.

In September 2017, Ukraine successfully issued USD 3 billion of Eurobonds, of which USD 1.3 billion is new financing, with the remaining amount aimed to refinance bonds due in 2019.

During 2018 the Ukrainian economy proceeded with recovery from the economic and political crisis of previous years and demonstrated a sound GDP growth of 3.4% (2017: 2.5%), decline in annual inflation of 9.8% (2017: 13.7%), and relatively stable foreign exchange rate of Ukrainian national currency.

The presidential elections in April-May 2019 resulted in a new presidential team, premature parliamentary elections in July 2019 and resignation of the government. Further economic development depends, to a large extent, upon a smooth transition of power within the executive and legislative branches, formation of a new Ukrainian government and its success in the implementation of planned reforms and cooperation with the International Monetary Fund.

The final resolution and the effects of the political and economic crisis are difficult to predict but may have further severe effects on the Ukrainian economy.

Whilst management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances, a continuation of the current unstable business environment could negatively affect the Group's results and financial position in a manner not currently determinable. These consolidated financial statements reflect management's current assessment of the impact of the Ukrainian business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business environment may differ from management's assessment.

Going concern basis following the economic and political environment

The dangers which may arise from unexpected external factors such as competition, and the further deterioration of the market conditions cannot be ignored. All these factors were analysed above. Having regard to the fact that the Company has fully settled its obligations on the Notes without incurring any additional liabilities, the Board of Directors believes that the Group will remain a going concern and that no indications of any kind of threat of liquidation exists in the foreseeable future.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary in case the Group was not able to continue operating as a going concern which could include:

• 1. The ability of the Group's trade and other debtors to repay the amounts due to the Group
• 1. The cash flow forecasts of the Group and the assessment of impairment of other financial and non-financial assets
• 1. The ability of the Group to meet its obligations towards its customers

25. CONTINGENT AND CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES

Economic environment

The exposure of the Group to the economic environment and possible impact is disclosed in note 24 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Taxation

As a result of unstable economic enviroment in Ukraine, tax authorities in Ukraine pay more and more attention to the business cycles. In connection with this, tax laws in Ukraine are subject to frequent changes. Furthermore, there are cases of their inconsistent application, interpretation and execution. Noncompliance with laws and regulations may lead to severe fines and penalties.

The Company operates in the Cypriot tax jurisdiction and its subsidiaries in tax jurisdiction of the respective countries of incorporation. 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 impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at every reporting period end. 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.

Since 1 January 2017 new procedure of VAT rules for agricultural producers has been implemented: special VAT treatment was changed to distribution of government grants by State Treasure Service.

Legal matters

In the course of its economic activities, the Group is involved in legal proceedings with third parties. In most cases, the Group is the initiator of such proceedings with the purpose of preventing or mitigating of economic losses.

The Group's management considers that as at the reporting period end, active legal proceedings on such matters will not have any significant influence on its financial position.

25. CONTINGENT AND CONTRACTUAL LIABILITIES (cont.)

Pension and other liabilities

Most employees of the Group receive pension benefits from the Pension Fund, a Ukrainian Government organisation in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Ukraine. The Group is obliged to deduct and contribute a certain percentage of salaries to the Pension Fund to finance the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to this pension plan is to make the specified contributions from salaries.

At 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 the Group's entities had no liabilities for any supplementary pensions, health care, insurance benefits or retirement indemnities to its current or former employees.

26. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Events referred to in note 24 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements will continue to influence the Group's operations in 2019. While management believes it is taking all necessary measures to maintain the sustainability of the business in the current circumstances, a further deterioration of economic and political conditions in Ukraine could adversly affect the Group's results and financial position, so that it is currently impossible to predict.

On 29 August 2019 the Board of Directors of Agroton Public Limited approved and authorised these condensed consolidated interim financial statements for issue.
