Nicosia, 27 April 2018
The Board of Directors of KDM Shipping Public Limited (the "Company") presents to the members its annual report together with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and of its subsidiary companies (together with the Company referred to as the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Principal activities of the Group are cargo freight, ship repair and trading in grain, corn, oil and barley. Prior to 2017, the Group was also engaged in passenger transportation, but this segment was discontinued.
Changes in Group structure are described in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.
The financial results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2017 are set out on page 14 to the consolidated financial statements. Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company amounted to USD 1 120 thousand (2016: loss USD 8 199 thousand) which the Board of Directors recommends to be transferred to retained earnings.
The Group's sales revenue for 2017 consisted mainly from grain trading operations and freight segment since ship repair segment did not contribute much to total revenue of the Group.
The Group's sales revenue from its freight segment is generated mainly from the transportation services for dry bulk cargoes. The Company concentrates on grain shipments however other commodities like metals, and building materials also transported in Black, Azov, Mediterranean and Caspian Sea regions' shipping routes.
The freight sales revenue for 2017 decreased by approximately 8% compared to the corresponding previous period. General market conditions have improved in second half of 2017, nevertheless the Company operated less of vessels during 2017 in comparison to 2016. As a result of management's costcutting efforts, cost of freight has decreased by 45%, which resulted in gross profit in the current period as compared to a loss in first half of 2016.
Grain trading segment sales revenue has increased by approximately 14% due to steady sales throughout 2017, net profit for the segment improved as to corresponding period last year. Gross profit for the corresponding previous period has increased by 63%.
Ship repair segment's revenue has showed negative tendency. Difficult political and economic situation have significantly cut the order book, main customers as of now are ship owners with minor repairs.
Overall, performance of the Group remained low due to a large number of economic and political issues in the region of operation. It is management's belief that freight segment will improve its performance in 2018 after the implementation of new strategy that aims to profit enhancement via increase of number of vessels under operations.
The Group's revenue for the year ended 31 December 2017 amounted to USD 28 538 thousand (2016: USD 26 096 thousand)
The Board of Directors does not recommend the payment of a dividend and the net profit for the year is retained.
The main risks and uncertainties faced by the Group and the steps taken to manage these risks, are described in note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.
Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and monitors on a continuous basis the ageing profile of its receivables.
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. Management monitors the current liquidity position of the Group based on expected cash flows and expected revenue receipts.
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Group's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.
The ongoing political and economic instability in Ukraine which commenced at the end of 2013 and led to a deterioration of state finances, volatility of financial markets, illiquidity on capital markets, higher inflation and devaluation of the national currency against major foreign currencies has continued in 2016 and 2017, though to a lesser extent as compared to 2014 and 2015.
Inflation rate in Ukraine during 2016 reduced to around 12% (as compared to 43% in 2015), and remained relatively stable through 2017, while GDP returned to growth of around 2% through 2016 and 2017 (after 9% decline in 2015). Devaluation of Ukrainian Hryvnia during 2016 has been moderate. In 2016 the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") has made certain steps to ease the currency control restrictions introduced in 2014 and 2015. Current restrictions are effective until rescinded by the NBU. The requirement to convert 65% of foreign currency in 2016 was lowered to 50% in 2017. Bans for payment of dividends abroad and early repayment foreign loans are still in effect. The banking system remains fragile due to its weak level of capital, low asset quality caused by the economic situation, national currency devaluation, changing regulations and other factors.
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.
The uncertain economic conditions in Ukraine have affected the cash flow forecasts of the Group's management in relation to the impairment assessment for financial and non-financial assets. The Group's management has assessed whether any impairment provisions are deemed necessary for the Group's financial assets carried at amortised cost by considering the economic situation and outlook at the end of the reporting period.
Although, Group's management considers that all necessary actions are being performed to maintain financial stability of the Group in current situation, continuation of crisis may adversely affect results and financial position of the Group, but it is currently impossible to estimate the effect. These consolidated financial statements reflect current management estimation of Ukrainian business environment influence on the financial position of the Group. Situation development may differ from management expectations. These financial statements were not adjusted to reflect events after the reporting period.
In this difficult market, it is Management's belief that its main objective is to maintain good working relationship with all of the partners and keep strong position in cargo transportation market as well as agriculture commodity trading. Company benefited greatly from presence in both of trading and shipping markets, assisting in development of new business opportunities.
In order to improve performance of freight segment, the Group has adopted a strategy of taking more vessels under management in order to provide transportation services to existing and new customers. Performance of first quarter of 2017 proved that adopted strategy was right, providing ground for additional revenue.
During 2018, the Management took a decision of restructuring the Group's current legal structure. This restructuring entails change of ownership of assets within the current group as well as change in jurisdictions of profit centers. Ship repair segment is going under some cost cutting exercises due to low financial performance.
There were no changes in the share capital of the Company during the year.
The Board of Directors has adopted the Code of Corporate Governance (the "Code") of the Warsaw Stock Exchange ("WSE") which is available in the WSE website.
At present, the Corporate Governance Code is not fully implemented. There are specific provisions of the Code which cannot be adopted since they are either contrary to and/or do not accord with the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company. The Board of Directors will endeavour to remedy these as soon as practicable.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, as amended from time to time (the "Companies Law, Cap. 113").
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants ("IESBA Code"), and the ethical requirements in Cyprus that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We draw attention to notes $2(d)$ , $2(f)$ and 30 to the consolidated financial statements, which discuss the political and economic environment in Ukraine, the country in which the Group mainly operates, and Management's assessment that the Group will continue as a going concern. As stated in notes $2(d)$ , $2(f)$ and 30, the impact of these events on the Ukraine economy cannot be determined and may adversely affect the operations of the Group. This indicates that an uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements, as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as required by the Companies Law, Cap. 113.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
With regards to the management report and the corporate governance statement, our report is presented in "Report on other legal and regulatory requirements" section.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS-EU and the requirements of the Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to either liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
Pursuant to the requirements of Article $10(2)$ of EU Regulation $537/2014$ we provide the following information in our Independent Auditors' Report, which is required in addition to the requirements of ISAs.
We were first appointed auditors of the Company by those charged with governance on 31 August 2011. Our appointment has been renewed annually by shareholder resolution. The Company became listed in August 2012. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 7 years covering the periods ended 31 December 2011 to 31 December 2017.
Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report presented to the Audit Committee dated 27 April 2018. Although there is an Audit Committee, the structure of its members did not follow the legal requirements by the date of our report.
We have not provided any prohibited NAS referred to in Article 5 of EU Regulation 537/2014 as applied by Section 72 of the Auditors Law of 2017, L.53(I)2017, as amended from time to time ("Law $L53(I)/2017$ ").
Pursuant to the additional requirements of law L.53(I)2017, and based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, we report the following:
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members as a body in accordance with Section 69 of Law L53(I)/2017, and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is Maria A. Papacosta.

KDM Shipping Public Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 2 December 1999 as a private limited liability company under the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. Its Registered Office is at 3 Michael Koutsofta Str., 3031, Limassol, Cyprus. The Company is currently listed on the main market of Warsaw Stock Exchange.
The Company was initially established under the name V.S. Marine Engineering Services Limited. On 21 December 2011, the Company was re-registered as a public limited company and changed its name to KDM Shipping Public Limited.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together with the Company referred to as the "Group").
During 2016, the Group has discontinued its passenger transportation segment. Other principal activities of the Group remained the same as in the previous year, and are cargo freight, ship repair and trading in grain, corn, oil and barley.
The history of the Group began in 2001 with acquisition by the principal owner of River Sea type vessels for the purpose of cargo transportation in the region of Black, Azov and Mediterranean Seas. By using River Sea vessels low drought inland ports of Russia and Ukraine are easily accessible as well as any Sea port within the region of operations. Currently the Group's fleet of vessels is in private ownership. Entire fleet of vessels is in compliance with Ukrainian Maritime Registry of Shipping. The Group specializes in transportation of all general cargo such as: All Grain, SFSM, Scrap Metal, Pine Logs, Metals, Glass, Chemical Fertilizers.
From 2002 the Group's principal owner started investing into acquisition of Ship Repair Yard in Kherson region of Ukraine, and had full control by 2004. This was a strategic investment in reaching a vertically integrated shipping business. By this point in time the Group had its own crewing, technical maintenance and ship repair departments. The Yard specialized in the repair of middle tonnage fishing fleet, River Sea vessels, special purpose vessels, floating cranes, dredgers and tugs. This helped the Group not only to cut down on costs involved in repair of its own fleet of vessels as well as improving quality control but to get additional profitability from undertaking repair works for other ship owners.
The shipyard was heavily involved in improving its repair facilities and increasing productivity. Nevertheless, during this period management of the Group had undertaken a number of successful projects in segmental reporting in shipbuilding, ship modernization that generated additional revenue streams as well as reducing the risks for the entire Group.
The Group's subsidiaries, country of incorporation, their principal activities and effective ownership percentage are disclosed in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.
On 9 August 2012, the shares of the Company were admitted on the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. On 11 June 2013, following the second public offering 2 000 000 new shares subscribed at issue price of PLN 30 per share (note 21).
The parent company of the Group is KDM Shipping Public Limited, with an issued share capital of 9 296 000 ordinary shares with nominal value of EUR 0,01 per share. The shares were distributed as follows:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113 and are for the year ended 31 December 2017.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
As from 1 January 2017, the Group adopted all changes to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) which are relevant to its operations. This adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company is required to adopt IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contract with Customers" from I January 2018. The Company has preliminarily assessed the estimated impact that the initial application of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements. The actual impact of adopting the standards at 1 January 2018 may change because the new accounting policies are subject to change until the Group presents its first consolidated financial statements that include the date of
Standards and Interpretations adopted by the EU initial application ("DIA").
The following Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2017. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these Standards early.
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" sets out requirements for recognizing and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement".
The new impairment requirements are expected to have an impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the implementation of IFRS 9. Management is not yet able to provide quantitative information about the expected impact since the Group is in the process of building and testing models, assembling data and calibrating the impairment stage transfer criteria. The impact is also dependent on finalizing the classification assessment and the current circumstances. Management expects loss allowances under IFRS 9 to be at the same level as IAS 39.
The Group expects that it will be in a position to provide quantitative information on the impact of the transition to IFRS 9 on its financial position and performance in its next reported consolidated financial statements. Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted by the EU
The Group does not expect the adoption of this interpretation in future periods to have a material effect on its financial statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires from management to exercise judgment, to make estimates and assumptions that influence the application of accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are deemed to be reasonable based on knowledge available at that time. Actual results may deviate from such estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
Work in progress is stated at cost plus any attributable profit less any foreseeable losses and less amounts received or receivable as progress payments. The cost of work in progress includes materials, labour and direct expenses plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting period.
The Group reviews its trade and other receivables for evidence of their recoverability. Such evidence includes the customer's payment record and the customer's overall financial position. If indications of irrecoverability exist, the recoverable amount is estimated and a respective provision for bad and doubtful debts is made. The amount of the provision is charged through the profit or loss. The review of credit risk is continuous and the methodology and assumptions used for estimating the provision are reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly.
The Group provides for doubtful debts to cover potential losses when a customer may be unable to make necessary payments. In assessing the adequacy of provision for doubtful debts, management considers the current economic conditions in general, the age of accounts receivable, the Group's experience in writing off receivables, solvency of customers and changes in conditions of settlements. Economic changes, industry situation or financial position of separate customers may result in adjustments related to the amount of provision for doubtful debts reflected in the consolidated financial statements as impairments of receivables.
Bad debts which are recovered are written-off from the consolidated statement of financial position along with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for doubtful debts, and the recovered amount is recognised in profit or loss.
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income 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.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting period and reduced to the extent that there is no longer any probability for sufficient taxable profit to be received, which enables utilization of the whole number of or a part of deferred tax assets. Estimate of probability includes judgments, which are based on expected characteristics of activity. To estimate the probability of utilising deferred tax assets in future, various factors are used, including previous years' results, operating plans, expiry of tax losses recovery, strategies of tax planning. Should actual results differ from the estimates, and should such estimates need to be reviewed in future periods, this can negatively influence the financial position, financial results and cash flows. Should the estimated utilisation of deferred tax assets be reduced, such reduction is to be recognised in consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The Group reviews its inventory records for evidence regarding the saleability of inventory and its net realizable value on disposal. The provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory is based on management's past experience, taking into consideration the value of inventory as well as the movement and the level of stock of each category of inventory.
The amount of provision is recognized in the profit or loss. The review of the net realisable value of the inventory is continuous and the methodology and assumptions used for estimating the provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory are reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly.
The carrying value of the Group's vessels represents their original cost at the time they were delivered or purchased less depreciation calculated using an estimated useful life of years from the date the vessels were originally delivered from the shippard. In the shipping industry, useful life in this range has become the standard. The actual life of a vessel may be different. If the economic life assigned to the vessel proves to be too long because of new regulations or other future events, higher depreciation expense and impairment losses could result in future periods related to a reduction in the useful life of the vessel.
The carrying value of the Group's vessel may not represent its fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of new construction. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values tend to be cyclical. The Group records impairment losses only when events occur that cause the Group to believe that future cash flows for the vessel will be less than its carrying value. The carrying amount of vessel held and used by the Group is reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the vessel may not be fully recoverable. In such instances, an impairment charge would be recognized if the estimate of the discounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the vessel and its eventual disposition is less than the vessel's carrying amount.
In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Group must make assumptions about future charter rates, ship operating expenses and the estimated remaining useful life of the vessel. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions may be highly subjective.
The Group's Management applies significant assumptions in the measurement and recognition of provisions for and risks of exposure to contingent liabilities, related to existing legal proceedings and other unsettled claims, and also other contingent liabilities. Management's judgment is required in estimating the probability of a successful claim against the Group or the crystallising of a material obligation, and in determining the probable amount of the final settlement or obligation. Due to uncertainty inherent in the process of estimation, actual expenses may differ from initial estimates. Such preliminary estimates may alter as new information is received, from internal specialists within the Group, if any, or from third parties, such as lawyers. Revision of such estimates may have a significant effect on the future results of operating activity.
For the year ended 31 December 2017
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are determined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events. Measurement of contingent liabilities is based on management's judgments and estimates of the outcomes of such future events. In particular, the tax laws in Ukraine are complex and significant management judgement is required to interpret those laws in connection with the tax affairs of the Group, which is open to challenge by the tax authorities. Additionally, the economic and political situation in Ukraine may have an impact (note 30).
The ongoing political and economic instability in Ukraine which commenced at the end of 2013 and led to a deterioration of state finances, volatility of financial markets, illiquidity on capital markets, higher inflation and devaluation of the national currency against major foreign currencies has continued in 2016 and 2017, though to a lesser extent as compared to 2014 and 2015.
Inflation rate in Ukraine during 2016 reduced to around 12% (as compared to 43% in 2015), and remained relatively stable through 2017, while GDP returned to growth of around 2% through 2016 and 2017 (after 9% decline in 2015). Devaluation of Ukrainian Hryvnia during 2016 has been moderate. In 2016 the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") has made certain steps to ease the currency control restrictions introduced in 2014 and 2015. Current restrictions are effective until rescinded by the NBU. The requirement to convert 65% of foreign currency in 2016 was lowered to 50% in 2017. Bans for payment of dividends abroad and early repayment foreign loans are still in effect. The banking system remains fragile due to its weak level of capital, low asset quality caused by the economic situation, national currency devaluation, changing regulations and other factors.
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.
The uncertain economic conditions in Ukraine have affected the cash flow forecasts of the Group's management in relation to the impairment assessment for financial and non-financial assets. The Group's management has assessed whether any impairment provisions are deemed necessary for the Group's financial assets carried at amortised cost by considering the economic situation and outlook at the end of the reporting period.
Although, Group's management considers that all necessary actions are being performed to maintain financial stability of the Group in current situation, continuation of crisis may adversely affect results and financial position of the Group, but it is currently impossible to estimate the effect. These consolidated financial statements reflect current management estimation of Ukrainian business environment influence on the financial position of the Group. Situation development may differ from management expectations. These financial statements were not adjusted to reflect events after the reporting period.
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Board of Directors.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the relevant notes.
The functional currency of most of the companies of the Group is US Dollar ("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 for the convenience of its principal users. Exchange differences arising from the translation to presentation currency are classified on equity and transferred to the Company's translation reserve.
These consolidated 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 30 to the consolidated 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.
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently for all the years presented in these consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by all companies of the Group.
Certain comparative amounts in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been reclassified or re-presented as a result of an operation discontinued during the current year.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists where the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The financial statements of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income from the date that control commences until the date control ceases.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring them in line with the accounting policies of the Group.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity as transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners. No adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the resulting profit or loss is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. The resulting profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that quality as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses and tax assets and liabilities.
The Group is organised by reportable segments and this is the primary format for segmental reporting. Each reportable segment provides products or services which are subject to risks and rewards that are different than those of other reportable segments.
The Group presents also information on the basis of geographic location: segment revenue is based on the geographical location of customers and segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished form the rest of the Group and which:
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
Revenue comprises the invoiced amount for the sale of services in the course of the ordinary activities of the Group. Revenue is recorded net of Value Added Tax, rebates and discounts. Revenues earned by the Group are recognised on the following bases:
Sale of products
Sales of products are recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products have been transferred to the customer, which is usually when the Group has sold or delivered the products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Sales of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
Finance income includes interest income which is recognised on an accrual basis.
Interest expense and other costs on borrowings to finance construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
Tax liabilities and assets for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting period. Current tax includes any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous periods.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred tax.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.
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 are translated into the functional currency of each Group company, at the rates ruling at the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and losses, arising from transactions in foreign currency, and also from translation of monetary assets and liabilities into the functional currency of each Group company at the rate ruling at the end of the year, are recognised in profit or loss.
The exchange rates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
| Currency | 31 December 2017 |
Weighted average for the year 2017 |
31 December 2016 |
Weighted average for the year 2016 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD - UAH | 28,0899 | 26,5957 | 27,1739 | 25,5435 |
| USD - RUB | 57,4713 | 58,1395 | 61,3497 | 66,6448 |
The foreign currencies may be freely convertible on the territory of Ukraine at the exchange rate which is close to the exchange rate established by the National Bank of Ukraine. At the moment, the Ukrainian Hryvnia is not a freely convertible currency outside Ukraine.
The financial results and position of each subsidiary are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
The amount payable to the owners of the Company in the form of dividends is recognised as a liability in the financial statements of the Group in the period the dividends were approved by the owners of the Company.
Vessels, property, plant and equipment ("VPPE") are recognised by the Group as an asset only in a case, when:
Any subsequent expenses, increasing the future economic benefits from the asset, are treated as additions. Otherwise, the Group recognises subsequent expenditure as expenses of the period, in which they have been incurred. The Group divides all expenses, related to VPPE, into the following types:
After initial recognition as an asset, the Group applies the model of accounting for the VPPE at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any accumulated losses from impairment, taking into account estimated residual values of such assets at the end of their useful lives. Such cost includes the cost of replacing significant parts of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of VPPE are required to be replaced from time to time, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific estimated useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying value of the VPPE as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the profit or loss statement as incurred.
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of VPPE is charged to profit or loss of the year in which it is incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on the straight-line method over the useful lives of each part of an item of vessels, property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives of the Group's VPPE are as follows:
| Years |
|---|
| $30 - 50$ |
| $25 - 35$ |
| not depreciated |
| $15 - 25$ |

No depreciation is provided on land.
Depreciation methods, useful lives of assets and residual values are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
Assets under construction comprise costs directly related to construction of vessels and property, plant and equipment including an appropriate allocation of directly attributable variable overheads that are incurred in construction. Construction in progress is not depreciated.
An asset is not depreciated during the quarter of placing into operation. The acquired asset is depreciated starting from the following quarter from the date of placing into operation and depreciation is fully accumulated when useful life terminates.
An item of vessels, property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
At each reporting period, the Group evaluates whether any indicators of possible impairment of an asset exist. If the recoverable value of an asset or a group of assets within VPPE is lower than their carrying (residual) value, the Group recognises such asset or group of assets as impaired, and accrues a provision for impairment of the amount of excess of the carrying value over the recoverable value of the asset. Impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(i) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The allowance recognised is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
Loans receivable are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits of three months.
Borrowings are recorded initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Notes issued are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
A financial liability is derecognised 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 recognised in profit or loss.
The Group assesses at each reporting period the carrying value of its non-current assets to determine whether there is any objective evidence that non-current assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs (the asset's cash-generating unit).
The expected recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit's fair value less cots to sell and its value in use. In estimating value in use, the future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit.
If expected recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying value, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit) shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. that reduction is an impairment loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued model. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset shall be treated as a revaluation decrease. If the impairment loss is reversed subsequently, the carrying value of an asset (or cash-generating unit) increases to the revised and estimated amount of its recoverable amount, where increased carrying value does not exceed the carrying value which could be determined only in the case where impairment loss for an asset (or cash-generating unit) was recognised in the previous years. Reversal of the impairment loss is recognised as profit immediately.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is determined using the weighted average method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs to completion and selling expenses.
The cost of inventories comprises all expenses for acquisition, processing and other expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of work in progress includes materials, labour and direct expenses plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity.
The Group regularly reviews inventories to determine whether there are any indicators of damage, obsolescence, slow movement, or a decrease in net realizable price. When such event takes place, the amount by which inventories are impaired, is reported in profit or loss.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the nominal value of the share capital issued is transferred to the share premium account. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of shares, net of any tax effects, are recognised as a deduction from equity.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement. if the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects where appropriate the risks to specific to liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
Non-current liabilities represent amounts that are due more than twelve months from the reporting period.
There are two rates of value added taxes: 20% – on import and sales of goods and services in the territory of Ukraine and 0% - on export of goods and rendering of services and works outside Ukraine.
The VAT liability is equal to the total amount of VAT accrued during the reporting period and arises at the earlier of goods shipment to the customer or at the date of receipt of payment from the client.
VAT credit is the amount by which a taxpayer is entitled to reduce his/her VAT liabilities in the reporting period. The right to VAT credit arises on the earlier of the date of payment to supplier or the date of receipt of goods by the Company.
For goods and services supplied at the 20% tax rate, revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of VAT amount, unless:
The net amount of value added tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with the exception of when the probability of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, but are disclosed in the notes in such cases when there is a possibility of receiving the economic benefits.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.
The Group adjusts the consolidated financial statements amounts if events after the reporting period require adjustments. Events after the reporting period requiring adjustments of the consolidated financial statements amounts relate to the confirmation or contradiction of the circumstances prevailing at the reporting period, as well as estimates and judgments of management, which are made under conditions of uncertainty and incompleteness of information at the reporting period.
If non-adjusting events that occurred after the reporting period are significant, non-disclosure of information about them may affect the economic decisions of users which are made on the basis of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Group discloses the nature of such events and estimates of their financial effect or states the impossibility of such estimate for each material category of non-adjusting events that occurred after the reporting period.
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 generate 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 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 year ended 31 December 2017 the Group identified the following three reportable segments, which include products and services, that differ by levels of risk and conditions of generation of income:
In 2016, reportable segments also included passenger transportation, which was discontinued by the Group in August 2016.

In the light of the deterioration of the activities of the ship repair and passenger transportation services, due to the political and economic environment in the Ukraine, the management estimated the recoverable amount of the related segments.
The recoverable amount of the segments was based on external valuation received for vessels, property, plant and equipment and on management assumption for the rest. The external valuators method used was the value in use.
The key assumption used in the estimation of the recoverable amount is set out below.

The calculation of earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 was based on the profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary owners and the weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding as follows:
Profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary owners:
| 40 L I USD'000 |

|
|---|---|---|
| Profit/(loss) for the year from continuing operations | 1 1 2 0 | (6670) |

| Basic and fully diluted profit/(loss) per share $(USD)$ – Continuing operations | 0,12 | (0, 72) |
| Basic and fully diluted profit/(loss) per share $(USD)$ – Discontinued operation | (0,16) |
Profit/(loss) per share is the profit/(loss) for the year after taxation divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue for each year.
There are no options or instruments convertible into new shares and so basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
The majority of the Company's share capital is held by Kostiantyn Molodkovets who owns 54,86% and Denys Molodkovets who owns 12,88%. During the year ended 31 December 2017 30.11% of the Company's share capital is traded at the Warsaw Stock Exchange and is held by both institutional and retail investors.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Group has engaged and continue to engage in transactions with both related and unrelated parties.

The Group is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Group's activities.
The Group is not a finance company; thus, it uses financial instruments as may be necessary in order to obtain finance for its activities, not for the purpose of receiving income. In the process of its activities, the Group uses the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, loans, accounts receivable, bank loans and accounts payable.
The Group is exposed to the following risks resulting from the use of financial instruments: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk of fair value. This explanation contains information relating to the Group's exposure to each of those risk types mentioned above. Group's objectives, its policy and procedures of these risks measurement and management.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss for the Group in case of non-fulfilment of financial obligations by a client or counterparty under the respective agreement. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and monitors on a continuous basis the ageing profile of its receivables.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
The Group recognises impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this amount are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified.
For the year ended 31 December 2017 USD 7 785 thousand (2016: USD 4 904 thousand) or 27% (2016: 19%) from the Group's revenue refers to the sales transactions carried out with one of the Group's clients.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting period was presented as follows:
| 2017 USD'000 |
2016 USD'000 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Cash at bank | 21 3 3 9 | 23 490 |
| Trade and other receivables | 4 3 5 8 | 2 7 6 0 |
| 25 697 | 26 250 . PERSONAL _____ |
In 2017 and 2016 the majority of cash and cash equivalents of the Group are held with banks and financial institutions in Ukraine which are not rated. As of 31 December 2017, Government of Ukraine was rated Caa2 (31 December 2016: Caa3) by Moody's credit rating agency.
Liquidity risk is the risk of the Group's failure to fulfil its financial obligations at the date of maturity. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

Market risk is the risk of negative influence of changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, on revenue position of the Group or on the value of the Group's available financial instruments.
The objective of market risk management is to provide control over the Group's exposure to market risk, as well as keeping its level within reasonable limits. Description of the Group's exposure to such market components as currency risk and interest rate risk, is given below.
Foreign currency risk which represents a part of market risk is the risk of change in the value of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Management does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks and does not follow an official policy for distribution of risks between liabilities in one or another currency. However, in the period of receiving new borrowings and loans, Management uses its own estimates to take the decision as for which currency denomination will be more favourable for the Group during the expected period till maturity.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk and the amount in local currency as at 31 December 2017 and 2016 based on carrying amounts was as follows:
| 31 December 2017 | Euro USD'000 |

Interest rate risk is the risk that expenditure or the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.
As at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 the structure of interest financial instruments of the Group grouped according to the types of interest rates, was presented as follows:

The Group's management follows the policy of providing a firm capital base which allows supporting the trust of investors, creditors and market and ensuring future business development.
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while increasing the return to owners through the strive to improve the debt to equity ratio. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from last year.
To manage capital, the Group's management, above all, uses calculations of financial leverage coefficient (ratio of leverage ratio) and ratio between net debt and EBITDA.
Financial leverage is calculated as a ratio between net debt and total amount of capital. This ratio measures net debt as a proportion of the capital of the Group, i.e. it correlates the debt with total equity and shows whether the Group is able to pay the amount of outstanding debts. An increase in this coefficient indicates an increase in borrowings relative to the total amount of the Group's capital. Monitoring this indicator is necessary to keep the optimal correlation between own funds and borrowings of the Group in order to avoid problems from over leverage. It is calculated as cumulative borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents. Total amount of capital is calculated as own capital reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position plus the amount of net debt.
For the ratio of net debt to EBITDA, the calculation of net debt is as stated above. EBITDA is an indicator of income before taxes, interest depreciation and amortization. It is useful for the Group's financial analysis, since the Group's activity is connected with long-term investments in vessels, property, plant and equipment. EBITDA does not include depreciation, so that in the Group's opinion, it reflects the approximate cash flows deriving from the Group's income in a more reliable way.
For the year ended 31 December 2017
The ratio of net debt to EBITDA gives an indication of whether income obtained from operating activities is sufficient to meet the Group's liabilities.

During the year there were no changes in approaches to capital management. The Group is not subject to any external regulatory capital requirements.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurements of fair value.
The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
The different levels have been defined as follows:
The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are not measured at fair value and their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Fair value of financial instruments is defined at the amount at which instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. As no readily available market exists for a large part of the Group's financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value, based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instruments. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holding of a particular instrument.
Main operating activities of the Group are not carried out in Ukraine; however, the Group's performance is affected by the development of the political situation in Ukraine and Russia. Laws and other regulatory acts affecting the activities of entities in Ukraine may be subject to changes during short periods of time. As a result, assets and operating activity of the Group may be exposed to the risk in case of any unfavourable changes in political and economic environment.
The ongoing political and economic instability in Ukraine which commenced at the end of 2013 and led to a deterioration of state finances, volatility of financial markets, illiquidity on capital markets, higher inflation and devaluation of the national currency against major foreign currencies has continued in 2016 and 2017, though to a lesser extent as compared to 2014 and 2015.
Inflation rate in Ukraine during 2016 reduced to around 12% (as compared to 43% in 2015), and remained relatively stable through 2017, while GDP returned to growth of around 2% through 2016 and 2017 (after 9% decline in 2015). Devaluation of Ukrainian Hryvnia during 2016 has been moderate. In 2016 the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") has made certain steps to ease the currency control restrictions introduced in 2014 and 2015. Current restrictions are effective until rescinded by the NBU. The requirement to convert 65% of foreign currency in 2016 was lowered to 50% in 2017. Bans for payment of dividends abroad and early repayment foreign loans are still in effect. The banking system remains fragile due to its weak level of capital, low asset quality caused by the economic situation, national currency devaluation, changing regulations and other factors.
The final resolution and 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 financial position of the Group. The future business environment may differ from management's assessment. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment for the impact of events in Ukraine that have occurred after the reporting period.
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 this, 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.
The Company operates in the Cypriot tax jurisdiction and its subsidiaries 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 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. 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.
