2.2. Crop growing segment overview

Results of crop growing segment consist of crop harvest fair value, sales of the previous and current year harvest and agricultural subsidies.

Harvest in the season of 2020/2021

The total cultivated land area by the Group amounts to 39.1 thousand hectares (ha) in the 2020/2021 season and is slightly less than the cultivated area in the 2019/2020 season. In the 2020/2021 season, 30.9 thousand ha is seeded with cash crops (30.6 thousand in the 2019/2020 season) out of which 10.4 thousand ha is dedicated to wheat, 8.1 thousand ha to legumes and 12.4 thousand ha to other cash crops. The majority – 8.9 thousand ha out of total 10.4 thousand ha – of wheat was winter wheat, which is a similar proportion to the season of 2019/2020 as winter crops usually have higher yield potential compared to summer alternatives. Forage crops comprises 6.8 thousand ha in the 2020/2021 season compared to 8.2 thousand ha in the 2019/2020 season.

At the end of each quarter the Group evaluates the fair value of crops which have not yet been harvested. The Group estimated the total fair value of crops as of 30 June 2021 using following formula and assumptions:

Fair value of the crop = Costs incurred + (Cultivated area in ha * forecasted average yield as tonnes per ha * forecasted price per tonne – cultivated area in ha * forecasted total cost per ha) * T * (1 - x), where:

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

  • Cost incurred is cost actually incurred for particular crop during the season of 2020/2021.
  • Cultivated area in ha is the area of particular crop seeded and expected to be harvested.
  • Forecasted average yield in tonnes per ha is the expected yield for a particular crop based on the previous season's results, updated according to the most recent data.
  • Forecasted price per tonne – average sales prices in contracts adjusted according to the developments in the market.
  • Forecasted total cost per ha. The current level of accumulated costs adjusted by average historical cost levels of 2019 - 2020 were used for fair value estimation. It is expected that costs will remain at a similar level as that recorded in the previous periods.
  • T is the portion of time that has already passed from sowing date until the forecasted harvest date expressed as a percentage. As of 30 June 2021, the average completion percentage estimated was around 72% depending on the crop. For the following seasons crops the average completion percentage reached 16%.
  • X is an adjustment parameter for possible unexpected negative effects to the harvest. 10% was used in fair value estimations as of 30 June 2021 for current season crops, while adjustment parameter for the following season's crops was 30%.

The formula discussed above will be used to estimate fair value of cash crops (winter and summer crops) for coming quarters as well until the actual harvest will be completed. In each quarterly estimation forecasted parameters will be adjusted if needed or actual data will be used if already available.

It should be noted that the fair value of forage crop even at its point of harvest is measured at production cost incurred on forage crop. In other words, forage crop production cost is used as a measure of the fair value of that forage crop since there is no active market for forage crops and there is no reliable data to calculate market price of the forage crops. Due to this the net result on revaluation of forage crops is equal to zero.

As of 30 June 2021 the Group has finalised seeding of clover that will be harvested in the following season.

As of 30 June 2021, the Group recognized a EUR 6.53 million gain on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value for cash crops and seed clover. It should be noted that as of 31 December 2020 Group recognised gain of EUR 2.02 million on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value for the 2020/2021 season's crops. Thus, gain on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value accounted for in the first half of 2021 amounts to EUR 4.51 million. Although the weather at the end of last year and in the first half of 2021 allowed to expect a good harvest in 2021, the extreme heat wave recorded in the summer have forced the Group to adjust harvest forecasts, especially for summer cultures. Increase in crops market prices and better quality of the harvest should partially offset these losses, however, once the forecast for lower yields is confirmed, the profit on the recognition of biological assets at fair value in the next six-month period should be lower. Similar trend was observed in the second half in 2020 as well.

Crop growing segment sales results

Total revenue generated from sales in the crop growing segment amounted to EUR 9.48 million in 2021. This is a 12% decrease in revenue compared to 2020, when sales revenue was EUR 10.83 million. Even though harvest in the 2019/2020 season was larger compared to 2018/2019 season, sales in 2021 have decreased as larger share of previous season's harvest was sold in 2020, while the harvest of 2018/2019 was sold in 2019 and 2020 in similar proportions.

FOR 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

The crop growing segment’s sales cost for the 6-month of 2021 amounted to EUR 10.66 million versus EUR 11.44 million in 2020. The increase in cost of sales in the first 6-month of 2021 were impacted by one-off event – additional drying and cleaning cost of clover seeds (EUR 0.42 million). Total agricultural produce inventory write-offs and impairment during the 6-month of 2021 amounted to EUR 0.43 million compared to EUR 0.69 million during the 6-month of 2020.

Agricultural subsidies and gross profit of the crop growing segment

Total amount of agricultural subsidies accrued for 6-month of 2021 was EUR 4.62 million compared to EUR 3.71 million during the same period in 2020. Accrued subsidies amount is based on calculations according to the latest information available on subsidising programmes regulations for 2021. Increase in subsidies amount in 2021 is mainly related with increased amount of organic subsidies. Due to changes in subsidizing programme the Group will be entitled to receive organic subsidies for all organic crops declared while in previous year the Group received organic subsidies only for part of its crops.

In 2021, gross profit from the crop growing segment, encompassing the results of agricultural produce sales, gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural subsidies amounted to EUR 7.51 million. This demonstrated a 2% uplift compared to a gross profit of EUR 7.34 million in 2020.

2.3. Dairy segment overview

Total sales revenue of the dairy segment amounted to EUR 6.73 million in 2021. This compares to total sales of EUR 6.66 million in 2020 and represents a 1% increase. The Group’s companies faced challenges in the production process at the beginning of the year, so the planned goal of increasing milk yields was not met. Average milk yield in the first half of 2021 were 21.87 kg per cow per day compared to 21.84 kg per cow per day in 2020. As strong focus was placed on this segment, milk yield in June 2021 was higher by 4% compared to June 2020. However, due fluctuation in sales as the Group approaches new markets and increased amount of milk used for newly born heifers, quantity of milk sold decreased by 3% - from 13.16 thousand tonnes in the 6-month of 2020 to 12.81 thousand tonnes in the 6-month of 2021.

In the 6-month of 2021 the average price of milk sold was around EUR 413 per tonne or 4% higher comparing to the same period last year when it was EUR 397 per tonne. Average milk price increased due to the larger share of organic milk sold and sales to new markets.

The share of milk sold at organic production prices reached 98% in the 6-month of 2021 compared to 91% during the same period in 2020. As can be seen from the graph below, the share of milk sold at organic prices had been steadily growing from the beginning of 2019 and reached maximum in the second half of 2020.

img-3.jpeg

The dairy segment’s cost of sales amounted to EUR 6.69 million during the 6-month of 2021 compared to EUR 6.27 million during the same period last year (7% increase). The cost of milk increased due to changes in feeds structure.

FOR 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

During the 6-month of 2021, a loss of EUR 1.81 million was incurred on the revaluation of biological assets (animal herd). In comparison, a EUR 1.61 million loss was incurred during the same period a year earlier. The Group is seeking to increase milk yields per cow, which would result in increased production quantities and reduced costs. In order to achieve higher milk yields and the quality of cow herd in general, aged and not productive cows are substituted with younger heifers. Write-offs of aged cows increased loss from revaluation of biological assets. The substitution began in 2020 and continues throughout 2021. As planned, the Group is increasing the number of cows it has and plans to reach 3.6 thousand.

Challenges in production and higher losses from the revaluation of biological assets resulted in a loss of EUR 0.27 million in the dairy segment, compared to a EUR 0.09 million gross profit in 2020. Further attention to this segment, herd renewal and the use of new technologies are expected to improve segment performance.

2.4. Mushroom segment overview

In the first half of 2021, the Group company operating in this segment faced the challenges with an increase in the number of workers suffering from COVID-19 in its production units. As a result, the company had to reduce its production and sales volumes, and the long production process did not reduce the costs incurred in production. These risks are expected to be avoided in the future, with vaccination rates in mushroom production units now reaching 60-69%.

It is also important to note that the COVID-19 pandemic and the hot summer weather have led to a general decrease in production capacity across the market at the end of the second quarter, leading to a situation where demand exceeds supply.

Sales in the mushroom growing segment were lower compared to previous year and amounted to EUR 14.33 million during the 6-month of 2021. In the equivalent period in 2020, sales in this segment were EUR 15.21 million. The revenue from mushroom sales were lower by EUR 0.19 million as the volume of mushrooms produced was 6,179 tonnes compared to 6,466 tonnes in the first half of 2020. Revenue from mushroom seedbed sales decreased by EUR 0.70 million as the sales channel to Russia closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the 6-month of 2021, the share of organic mushrooms decreased and amounted to 6.3% of total mushrooms volume sold, while in previous year share of organic mushrooms was 7.6%.

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

In the 6-month of 2021, average non-organic and organic mushrooms sales price increased by around 2% compared to the same period in 2020. The average price of 1 tonne of mushrooms sold was 2,221 EUR/tonne in the 6-month of 2021 (2,168 EUR/tonne in the 6-month of 2020). The average mushroom price increased mainly due to larger sales of packaged mushrooms.

The total cost of sales of the mushroom growing segment amounted to EUR 13.74 million in the 6-month of 2021 and was EUR 0.41 million lower compared to the same period in 2020 when it was EUR 14.15 million. The average cost of 1 tonne of mushrooms sold increased from 2,010 EUR/tonne to 2,145 EUR/tonne. Cost of mushrooms mainly increased due to higher sales of packaged mushrooms and reduced production volume due to higher number of infected employees in the second quarter of 2021.

According to the Group's data, the gross profit of the segment for the 6-month period of 2021 amounted to EUR 0.59 million, demonstrating a 44% fall on the same period last year, when the gross profit of the segment was EUR 1.07 million.

2.5. Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment

Total sales in the segment amounted to EUR 2.59 million in the first half of 2021. In the equivalent period last year, sales in the FMCG segment were EUR 1.99 million.

Although higher growth was recorded in the first quarter of this year than in the second, the FMCG segment continues to show good results. The slowdown in the second quarter was driven by transport challenges – capacity shortage in logistics and increased transportation costs. These reasons have led customers to reduce frequency of order, but increase their value, with a large proportion of orders being moved to the third quarter of 2021. Sales in July 2021 were 69% higher than in July 2020.

Cost of sales were EUR 1.93 million for the 6-month of 2021 compared to EUR 1.90 million for the same period in 2020.

During the first 6-month of 2021, the FMCG segment's gross profit jumped to EUR 0.66 million. During the same period in 2020, gross profit amounted to EUR 0.09 million. It should be noted that Grybai LT KB (entity operating in the FMCG segment) results were included in the consolidated financial statements as of 1 June 2020. The segment's profitability margin remains at the similar level, reaching 25% in the first half of 2021.

Operating expenses increased mainly due to increased salaries, selling expenses and share-based payment expenses. Additionally, operating expenses of Grybai LT KB is fully represented in 2021, while operating expenses of Grybai LT KB were only partly represented in the comparative period as the respective entity was included in the consolidated financial statements as of 1 June 2020.

2.7. Capital expenditures

Total investments (additions) into property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 6.19 million in the first half of 2021 (EUR 2.25 million in the first half of 2020). The split of investments (additions) into property, plant and equipment is provided in the table below.

Investments (additions) into property, plant and equipment, EUR'000

Land Buildings Constructions and machinery Vehicles, equipment and other Construction in progress Total
Half-year 2021 1,020 104 3,439 637 986 6,186
Half-year 2020 444 208 992 274 336 2,253

Investments into property, plant and equipment have increased in 2021 as the Group is focusing its resources to implement goals determined in the strategy: development and implementation of new technologies, securing its own organic combined feedstock production capacity, improving animal welfare and agricultural operations.

2.8. Assessment of main types of exposures to risk

In 2020, AUGA Group management performed a review of the largest risks and prepared a risk management framework alongside with the risk assessment heat map. The risks were reviewed from both probability and severity perspectives. The risk management framework was approved by the Audit Committee in 2021.

Defined key risks for the Group:

Weather conditions. Climatic conditions are one of the most significant risk factors of agricultural activities. Poor or adverse meteorological conditions have a major impact on productivity and may adversely affect the yield of agricultural products, cause harm to the preparation of foodstuffs, destroy crops, and cause other damage. Any damage arising due to adverse climatic conditions may negatively affect the Group’s financial situation, its business and its results.

Changes in EU subsidies. The Group receives significant income from EU subsidies, and they are important for the continued viability of the business. If, for any reason, these subsidies were removed or reduced, this could have significant implications in many areas of the Group’s business. These would include (i) reduced operating cash flows and profitability, and (ii) decreases in the value of land and investment property resulting in the possible impairment of property, plants and equipment. Significant changes in EU subsidy programmes could also threaten the long-term viability of the Group’s operations.

FOR 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

The prices of agricultural products. The Group's income and business results are subject to many factors, including the prices of agricultural products, which are beyond the Group's control. Various unpredictable factors (such as climatic conditions, national agricultural policy, and fluctuations in worldwide demand caused by changes in the world population, changes in living conditions, and varying volumes of competing products in other countries) have a significant influence on the prices of agricultural products. Factors such as climatic conditions, infections, pest infestations, the national agricultural policy of different countries, and more, may have a strong impact on the supply of primary agricultural products and their prices. Changes in demand for primary agricultural materials may be greatly affected by various international and local programmes implemented in compliance with national agricultural policies. Changes in international demand are also determined by changes in the world population and the living conditions in different countries across the world. These factors may cause significant fluctuations in the prices of agricultural products and, consequently, adversely effect the Group's activities, financial situation and results.

Credit/financing risks. Organic agriculture is a working capital intensive business. As a result, deployment of borrowed capital is significant: as of 30 June 2021, the aggregate interest-bearing debt of the Group amounted to EUR 65.15 million (on 31 December 2020 the figure was EUR 59.91 million). The Group's level of borrowed capital may entail significant consequences, for instance: (i) the Group's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditure, acquisitions, servicing of debt, and other purposes may be restricted; (ii) the Group's flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions may be limited; (iii) undertakings with certain limitations on business and financial matters contained in credit agreements, although typical for such types of financing transaction, may nonetheless restrict the Group's ability to borrow more funds, mortgage property and/or participate in mergers or transactions of other types, which may to a certain extent restrict the active implementation of development possibilities and, potentially, decrease competitive advantages in the future; and (iv) the Group's ability to prolong existing revolving facilities could be limited.

The refinancing of credit facilities in 2020 significantly decreased those risks because the new credit agreements: (i) increased the proportion of long-term facilities thus decreasing refinancing risk; and (ii) have looser financial covenants and fewer restrictions, and provide more flexibility and opportunities for investments and expansion. The diversification of financing products (banking loans, bonds), the financing of separate companies instead of syndicated loans, and an increase in the number of financing banks (refinancing was provided by both previous and new banks) have further decreased risks.

Risk of diseases. The Group's business is inter alia related to assets of plant or animal origin. Diseases can directly affect the results of the Group due to their impact on production volumes and quality, and write-offs. Epidemic cattle diseases (e.g., bovine spongiform encephalopathy or 'mad cow disease') and other diseases and bacteria may reduce demand for such products due to fear of the consequences arising from these issues. Such changes may impact the Group's financial condition.

This risk is especially significant for the mushroom growing segment due to the concentration of production capacities.

Liquidity risk. Due to the Group's working capital intensive business model, long production cycle in the crop growing segment, and fluctuations in the sales volumes of agricultural products, the Group faces significant changes in demand for working capital through the year.

The refinancing of credit facilities from banks in 2020 and the securing additional revolving limits, together with the Group's improving cash flow, are decreasing this risk.

Possible risks related to environmental regulation. The Group has to comply with environmental regulations and it may be held liable for improper compliance with such rules. In its operations, the Group must comply with different environmental rules regulating the labelling, use, and storage of different hazardous substances used in the Group's activities. These rules require the installation of procedures and technologies for the proper treatment of any hazardous substances, and provide for the Group's liability in managing and eliminating any pollution of the environment. In addition to liability for current activities, the Group may also be liable for any previous operations if it appears that such operations caused damage to the environment. Furthermore, any changes in environmental regulations, both national and international, may bind the Group to introduce measures to meet the required standards.

Loss of recognitions and certifications. The Group is currently recognised as an organic producer and holds, among others, USDA Organic, Global GAP, Kosher and BRC Food certification. This certification can be considered an important part of the Group's brand and market positioning, and thus a loss of these certifications may result in a decline in demand or damage to the Group's brand value. Loss of certification as an organic producer would also reduce potential income from EU subsidies relating to organic farming.

Delays in the development of strategic projects. The Group is in a transition process, and several key projects, such as (i) Biogas cycle infrastructure, (ii) Specialised feed technology, and (iii) Regenerative crop-rotation, are particularly important for the successful implementation of the Group's strategy. The development of these projects face several risks, including:

  • the failure to innovate, launch and commercialise these projects;
  • a lack of project management capabilities;
  • and a lack of human resources.

2.9. COVID-19 pandemic effect

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on the business environment, measures have been taken to address the most significant coronavirus-related risks throughout the Group’s key business units, namely crop growing, dairy production, mushroom growing and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).

All Group companies are operating at the required capacities. Mushroom growing company faced increased numbers of infection within workers in the second quarter of 2021, however such short-term drop in production capacity did not have material impact to the Group’s operations. Additional measures have been taken to ensure the safety of the Group’s employees and the continuation of its daily activities. Part of administration employees are working remotely, processes in production and agricultural entities were set up to avoid unnecessary contacts in order to prevent the spread of the virus.

At the market level, agricultural production companies stood out as some of the least affected by the crisis, given the nature of their produce and increased demand from households. However, Group’s management takes into account possible risks to the operating segments and puts effort in order to diminish its effect to the results.

Crop growing

The Group’s management did not see any significant changes in the crop market. If the pandemic continues and the Group would face a labour shortage due to high numbers of infected or quarantined persons this risk may be mitigated via temporary employment.

Dairy

Milk production has been running at regular capacity and there were no problems with product demand. The management is not seeing in present nor does it forecast a decrease of demand in this segment. However, the risk of labour shortage remains, if the numbers of infected or quarantined persons were to rise dramatically. If this scenario occurs, the Group is ready to mitigate this risk with temporary employment.

Mushroom growing

The biggest threat in the mushroom growing segment is related to production, given the labour intensity of the production operations. Therefore, the Group has implemented various measures to ensure the safety of employees and to minimize contact among them. The Group could face a shortage of labour if the number of infected or quarantined persons were to increase dramatically. Labour shortages are successfully compensated with temporary employment from the outside and secondment from other companies of the Group.

In 2021, several business areas of the segment remain negatively affected by the pandemic due to instability in the market:

  • sales to wholesalers working with HoReCa decreased,
  • sales of mushroom seedbeds to Russia decreased,
  • market volatility increased which made it challenging to sell mushrooms at the best fresh mushroom price.
  • Increased number of infected employees in production units have resulted in decreased production output in short-term.

The Group is looking for new export markets for sales diversification and implements efficiency initiatives to reduce costs.

FMCG

The growing demand for long shelf-life packaged products (dairy products, soups, etc.) was observed across all markets. In terms of the associated risks in this segment, these are mainly related to possible interruptions in the supply chain of raw materials that the Group cannot produce in-house.

The service condition for the Option receiver is to complete a 3-year term of service to the Group. After the condition is met, an employee is eligible to exercise this option. There are no other vesting or performance conditions for the receiver. If the receiver does not fulfil the service condition, the option does not come into force according to the Company decision and they are not eligible to exercise the option, unless otherwise determined by the decision of the board (regarding the employees subordinated to the board) or the decision of the chief executive of the Company (regarding the employees subordinated to the management).

The option loses force if any restructuring, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceedings of the Company are commenced, and such proceedings continue and / or end with liquidation of the Company. Moreover, it also loses force if both parties (the Company and the receiver) agree to terminate the option agreement and if the receiver has caused damage to the Company through their actions or omissions.

These share-based payments for employees are equity-settled only. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary fully-fledged share. The shares will be issued from the Reserve to provide shares for employees (formed and approved by the shareholders) at the nominal value of 0.29 and will increase the Company's share capital.

Options are granted under the plan for no consideration. There are no social security contributions or income tax which would be payable by the Company at the time of the exercise (or any other time during the vesting period) and accrued within the Company's liabilities. Employees who exercise the option and receive the shares of the company will need to pay income tax on their own at the time of such exercise.

FOR 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

IV. EXPLANATORY NOTES

  1. Basis of the preparation

The accompanying interim financial information for the 6-month period ending 30 June 2021, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020, as described in those annual financial statements. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the interim financial information for 6-month period ended 30 June 2020 and annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

The presentation currency is euro (EUR). The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro, unless indicated otherwise. Financial statements for the 6-month period ending 30 June 2021 and 6-month period ending 30 June 2020 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020 are audited by the external auditor UAB PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial information, are disclosed below. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions remain the same as disclosed in the audited annual financial statements for period ending 31 December 2020.

IFRS 16, Leases

Based on IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities as of 31 December 2020 was 6%. The incremental borrowing remained unchanged in 2021.

In applying IFRS 16, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

  • the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
  • reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous;
  • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases (which were recognized as expense on a straight-line basis);
  • the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
  • the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

Revaluation of biological assets (crops)

The Group estimates the total fair value of crops using following formula and assumptions:

Fair value of the crop = Costs incurred + (Cultivated area in ha * forecasted average yield as tonnes per ha * forecasted price per tonne - cultivated area in ha * forecasted total cost per ha) * T * (1 - x), where:

  • Cost incurred is cost actually incurred for particular crop during the season till the reporting date.
  • Cultivated area in ha is an area of particular crop seeded and expected to be harvested.
  • Forecasted average yield tonnes per ha.
  • Forecasted price per tonne. Contracted average sales prices are used for fair value estimation adjusted according to the development in the market.
  • Forecasted total cost per ha. Average historical cost levels are used for fair value estimation.
  • T is a time portion, spanning from the sowing date to the forecasted harvest date.
  • X is an adjustment parameter for possible unexpected negative effects to the harvest.

Revaluation of biological assets (livestock)

Due to the specifics of the agricultural market, fair value of milking cows cannot be determined by using comparable market prices method, as such biological assets in areas where the Group operates are not traded on active markets which could enable the use of market value. The Group values cows using the discounted cash flow method. The model uses projected revenues from milk sales over the remaining useful life of each animal using a forecasted milk price. Milk price forecast is the average milk price assumption of the following 3 years was. Current cow herd has an estimated working life of 1 to 3 years. At the end of the working period the cow is estimated to be sold for meat. The forecasted revenues are reduced with costs directly related to herd growing (feeds, medicines, employee salaries and other). The free cash-flow is discounted with post tax WACC.

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

For valuation of other livestock the Group calculates the fair value by taking the average price of meat per kilo. For young bulls and heifers, the value of livestock is determined by using the market values of meat (different for different groups of animals) and multiplying the price of 1 kg by the total weight of specific group of animals.

Share-based payments

Total cumulative expenses of share-based payments are calculated based on the formula described below. The expenses are accrued in the profit (loss) statement and equity based on the days lapsed since the grant date till the reporting date. Each year the entity will revise the expense to reflect the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest.

The total expenses of share-based payments are calculated based on the formula:

Share price @ grant date x Granted shares x (1-annual staff turnover)^(vesting period)

Where:

The share price of options is based on the closing price at grant date at which the company's shares are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

The grant date of the Option is set to be the date of the share-based payment agreement between the Company and the receiver as all the terms and conditions are set in this agreement and there are no other arrangements which would need to be confirmed at a later date.

Granted shares – shares to be granted to employee based on the Option agreement.

Staff turnover – chance that the option will be exercised is adjusted by the forecasted staff turnover percent during the vesting period. The ratio is calculated based on historical staff turnover data of 2 years. The historical staff turnover data includes turnover only of the positions which are set to receive the share-based payments. The turnover of other positions are excluded from the ratio.

There are option agreements which are signed with a special condition – that the receivers do not need to fulfill the service condition, but they will still need to wait 3 years vesting period before being able to exercise the option. Due to this staff turnover adjustment is excluded in the calculation of the expenses of these options as it does not affect their chances to receive the option.
