STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

Below are the highlights of how the Group has implemented its development strategy in 2020:

Strategy lmplementation

Focus оп pigs breeding and increase its efficiency

Total revenues from pigs breeding and meat processing for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 were USD 7.4 million. Total revenues from pigs breeding and meat processing for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 were at а соmрагаЫе level of USD 7.8 million

The Group's pig complex continues to function as previously, despite the complications of the coronavirus outbreak. AII necessary security measures and guidelines аге being adhered to, with personnel screenings and disinfection activities being performed

Total sales of pigs for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 wеге 80 thousand heads and total farrow was 88 thousand heads

The construction of an additional fattening shop for 2,340 heads and an additional sow house for 360 sows, planned to Ье completed Ьу the end of 2020, will provide the Group with another production facility for fattening pigs and wi/1 provide ап opportunity to increase the Ьirth rate of piglets and improve their performance even more.

lncrease the efficiency of land farming, search for new contracts and alternative revenue sources

The total агеа of agricultural land controlled Ьу the Group as at 30 September 2020 was 21 thousand hectares, ofwhich 11 thousand hectares were under harvesting of summer crops and 1 О thousand hectares were under sowing of winter crops

Total revenue from crops fог the nine months ended 30 September 2020 was USD 6.9 million. As an altemative revenue source, the Group has used its agricultural equipment and expertise to render land cultivation and similar /and preparation services to other сгор producers for а total amount of ап additional USD 2.2 million

The Group's spring sowing campaign has started in early April, and the Group's harvesting campaign for winter crops started in late June; both as planned and largely unaffected Ьу the coronavirus outbreak

The yield of wheat and barley in 2020, compared to 2019, increased Ьу 7% and 48%, respectively - from 30.4 c/ha to 32.5 c/ha and from 28 c/ha to 41.4 c/ha; and the yield of rapeseed increased Ьу 52% - from 11 c/ha to 16.7 c/ha

As at the date of this report, the Group has also successfully completed the sowing campaign for winter crops

Reduce current debl and extend the credit period As of 4 August 2020, the Group has fully repaid its loan from LBBW, fixing the total amount of its bank and other loans at USD 29.3 million, the current portion of which being only USD 4.4 million. This was the Group's last overdue loan

Management are now focused оп the further restructuring and repayment of trade and other рауаЫеs, due to the Group currently having а negative net current assets position, and trade and other рауаЫеs comprise 75% of total current liaЬilities as at 30 September 2020

The Group has managed to increase its net current assets from а negative USD 23.5 million as at 31 December 2019 to а negative USD 6.3 million as at 30 September 2020 and, going further, management аге committed to continue improving Group's liquidity and to bring net current assets to а positive value within the next several months

IMPACT OF ТНЕ CORONAVIRUS COVID-19

The Board of Directors of the Company does not currently provide for the significant adverse effects of the coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic on the Group's financial results in 2020.

The Group is resistant to fluctuations in exchange rates because, at the moment, settlements in foreign currency do not constitute а significant share in the total cost structure. During 2019, the Group restructured most of its dеЫ in foreign currency, while freeing up reserves in the amount of more than USD 1 О million. Although а sharp increase in the exchange rates of Ukrainian Hryvnya against the US Dollar during March of 2020 resulted in recognition of significant forex losses, these losses аге non-operating losses, primarily оп revaluation of the Group's long-term loans, and therefore, аге not expected to have an effect оп the Group's operating results in the long-term, especially when the virus situation is resolved and the exchange rates return back to nonnal.

ln addition, in order to minimise external risks, starting in 2014, the Group implemented the program to build а vertically integrated structure, а closed production cycle and reduce production costs. The Group focuses on pork production and its main market is the domestic market of Ukraine, where over the past months there has been an increase in both price and demand for pork. ln addition, ргоЫеms in international trade have led to Ыocking of the competitive products import. AII this leads to an increase in the Group's sales and profit margins.

· Despite this, the Board of Directors provides regular monitoring of the situation related to the consequences of the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 and the impact of the epidemic оп the Group's activities. Caring for the health and safety of employees, the Group took а number of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at the Group's offices. Screening for staff temperature and disinfection activities are being carried out. Also, business trips and relocation of employees were reduced to the required minimum.

The Group will continue to provide infonnation on adverse effects, if any, of the impact of COVID-19 on its activities through notices on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and on its website.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS

The following tаЫе sets forth the Group's results of operations for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 and 2019 derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements:

DeEreciation and amortisation of non-current assets 1,100 1,375 (20)%
EBITDA 14,712 3 916 276%

Revenue and cost of sales аге both lower Ьу 17% and 36%, respectively, and primarily in the сгор production segment, which is more affected Ьу seasonality and weather conditions.

Total revenue from crop production for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 was USD 6.9 million as compared to USD 9.7 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2019. Net change in the fair value of crops was USD 4.9 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 and 2.6 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2019.

As an alternative revenue source to hedge against the unpredictaЬility of weather conditions, the Group has used its agricultural equipment and expertise to render land cultivation and similar land preparation services to other crop producers for а total amount of USD 2.2 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 as compared to USD 1.9 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2019. These revenues were previously presented as part of the 'other operations' segment.

Despite the lower output of the crop production segment, the Group managed to increase the margins in both of its main segments. Segment profits for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 from crops and pigs were, respectively, USD 6.8 million and USD 0.4 million as compared to, respectively, USD 2.5 million and USD -0.3 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2019.

Accordingly, overall cost of sales is lower Ьу 36% being USD 13.9 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 from USD 21.6 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2019. And this trend of the relative decrease in cost of sales towards revenue is expected to continue. Main contributing factors are that the Group continues to use its own selfproduced feeds instead of purchasing them, as well the commissioning of the upgraded manure separation station at the pig complex in July 2019, which helps the Group save on energy costs.

As а consequence, the Group's EBITDA for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 increased Ьу 276% to USD 14.7 million from USD 3.9 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2019.

Going further, the construction of an additional fattening shop for 2,340 heads and an additional sow house for 360 sows, planned to Ье completed later in 2020, will provide the Group with another production facility for fattening pigs and will provide an opportunity to increase the blrth rate of piglets and improve their performance even more.

Details Ьу segment are disclosed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As at the date of this report, the Group has successfully completed the sowing campaign for winter crops. There were по other material subsequent events.

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RISKS

Credit risk

The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that one party to а financial instrument will cause а financial loss for the other party Ьу failing to discharge an oЬligation. Exposure to credit risk arises as а result of the Group's sales of products on credit terms and other transactions with counterparties giving rise to financial assets.

Credit risk concentration

The Group is exposed to the concentration of credit risk. Management monitors and discloses concentrations of credit risk Ьу oЬtaining monthly reports with exposures to counterparties with individually material balances.

As at 30 September 2020, the Group had 7 counterparties (31 December 2019: 8 counterparties} with aggregate receivaЫe balances above USD 150 thousand each. The total amount of these balances as at 30 September 2020 was USD 2,744 thousand (31 December 2019: USD 3,410 thousand} or 79% (31 December 2019: 47%} of financial accounts receivaЬle.

Market risk

The Group takes an exposure to market risks. Market risks arise from open positions in (а} foreign currencies, (Ь) interest bearing assets and liabllities, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. The Group does not have significant interest-bearing financial assets. Loans and borrowings issued at variaЫe interest rates expose the Group to the interest rate risk. Loans and borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the fair value risk.

KSG Agro S.A. Management Report for the nine months ended 30 September 2020

The sensitivities to market risks disclosed below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the factors may be correlated - for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.

Interest rate risk

Risk of changes in interest rate is generally related to interest-bearing loans. Loans issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Loans issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group is currently developing its policy of fixed and variable rates loan portfolio. The Group's management analyses market interest rates to minimize interest rate risk.

Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk is managed by monthly rolling forecasts of the Group's cash flows. The Group seeks to maintain a stable funding base primarily with bans, and trade and other payables. Key liquidity indicators are as follows:

30 September 2020
In thousands of US dollars (unaudited) 31 December 2019
Total current assets 25,204 20,407
Total current liabilities (31,517) (43,893)
Net Current Assets (6,313) (23,486)
Currant Accate to Currant I ishilitiac Patio 0 80 0 46

Management recognises that such low liquidity indicators in the past were, to a considerable extent, a result of unpaid and overdue loans, which, at the date these financial statements are being issued, have been fully repaid.

Management are now focused on the further restructuring and repayment of trade and other payables, which comprise 75% of total current liabilities as at 30 September 2020. Management are committed to improve Group's liquidity and to bring net current assets to a positive value within the next several months.

Capital Risk Management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders as well as to provide financing of its operating requirements, capital expenditures and Group's development strategy. The Group's capital management policies aim to ensure and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the overall and flexibility relating to Group's access to capital markets.

Entities marked with * are located in Crimea. The Group has no operating control over them from October 2014, so deconsolidation of these entities was provided and net assets were written off to zero.

Entities marked with ** did not provide operational activity in 2020 and 2019 and аге not consolidated due to immateriality. For Pererobnyk РЕ LLC, the Group has no operating control and accounts for its investment under the equity method, although it is not separately presented in these financial statements due to its immateriality.

The Group consolidates all other subsidiaries, including those where it owns less than 51 per cent of the equity shares. Based оп the contractual arrangements between the Group and other investors, the Group has the power to appoint and remove the majority of the board of directors of these subsidiaries. The relevant activities of subsidiaries are determined Ьу their boards of directors based on simple majority votes. Therefore, management of the Group concluded that the Group has control over the subsidiaries and the subsidiaries are consolidated in these financial statements.

3. Operating Environment and Going Concern

ln determining the appropriate basis for preparation of the consofidated financial statements, Management are required to consider whether the Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeaЫe future. The financial performance of the Group is naturally dependent upon weather conditions in areas of operation and the wider economic environment of Ukraine.

With the recent and rapid development of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19} outbreak, the world economy entered а period of unprecedented health саге crisis that has already caused consideraЫe global disruption in business activities and everyday life.

Many countries have adopted extraordinary and economically costly containment measures. Certain countries have required companies to limit or even suspend normal business operations. Governments of all countries where the Group operates have implemented restrictions оп travelling as well as strict quarantine measures.

lndustries such as tourism, hospitality and entertainment are expected to Ье directly disrupted significantly Ьу these measures. Other industries such as manufacturing and financial services are expected to Ье indirectly affected and their results to also Ье negatively affected.

The financial effect of the current crisis оп the global economy and overall business activities cannot Ье estimated with reasonaЫe certainty at this stage, due to the расе at which the outbreak expands and the high level of uncertainties arising from the inabllity to reliaЫy predict the outcome.

Management has considered all availaЫe information about the future, which was oЬtained after 30 September 2020, including the impact of the COVID-19 outЬreak оп customers, suppliers and staff, as well as actual and projected foreseeaЫe impact from various factors, such as the fol/owing:

• whether the Group can continue to operate if staff were not аЫе to physically Ье present;

  • • the duration that the Group could survive given the availabllity of cash resources and the flexibllity of its cost base;
  • • whether there has been а significant decline in revenue;
  • • whether there has been а significant erosion of profits due to higher costs or incurrence of unforeseen expenses;
  • • whether there is а likelihood of potential breach of dеЫ covenants as а result of the adverse impact оп its financials;
  • • whether there have Ьееп any concerns оп the continuation of receipt of goods and services from suppliers.

Management has concluded that there is по significant impact in the Group's profitabllity position. The event is not expected to have an immediate material impact on the business operations.

Management will continue to monitor the situation closely and will assess the need for additional measures in case the period of disruption becomes prolonged.

4. Adoptlon of New or Revised Standards and lnterpretations

The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS Standards and lnterpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning оп ог after 1 January 2020:

  • IFRS 17 lnsurance Contracts;
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale ог Contribution of Assets between an lnvestor and its Associate or Joint Venture;
  • Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of а business;
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of material;
  • Conceptual Framework: Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards.

The adoption of the above Standards and lnterpretations has not had any material effect оп the disclosures or оп the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements. However, following the clarified guidance of the new Conceptual Framework in respect of 'obscuring information', going forward the Group plans to change the order and format of certain disclosures where such change would improve the presentation of information to the primary users.

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with lnternational Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "lnterim Financial Reporting", and should Ье геаd in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the уеаг ended 31 December 2019 ('last annual financial statements').

These consolidated financial statements аге condensed, i.e. they do not include all the information required for а complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that Management deemed significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements. Any changes in accounting policies during the interim period are also expected to Ье reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2020.

Functional and presentation currency

The currency of each consolidated entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency for the majority of the consolidated entities is the Ukrainian hryvnia. As the Group's management uses USD when monitoring operating results and financial condition of the Group, the presentation currency of the financial statements is USD.

The exchange rates used for translating foreign currency balances аге:

USD EUR
As at 30 September 2020 28.2989 33.1309
Average for nine months ended 30 September 2020 26.5261 29.8292
As at 31 December 2019 23.6862 26.4220
Average for nine months ended 30 September 2019 26.3687 29.6436
As at the date these financial statements аге being issued 28.1116 33,3938

6. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and judgements аге continually evaluated and аге based оп management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that аге believed to Ье reasonaЬle under the circumstances. Management also makes certain judgements, арагt from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

The significant judgments made Ьу Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the last annual financial statements.

The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's strategic divisions offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic divisions, the Group's CEO reviews internal management reports on at least quarterly basis. The operations in each of the Group's reporting segments are:

  • · Crops. Covers production of own summer crops (sunflower, corn) and winter crops (wheat, barley, rapeseed), as well as provision of land cultivation services and wholesale trading of crops. Main factors affecting crop production are climate conditions, land guality, plant nutrition and moisture levels in the arable land.
  • · Pigs. The segment which deals with breeding of pigs, own Danish purebred sows, and sale of pigs and piglets in live and dead weight.
  • · Other. This operating segment includes the production of fuel pellets, thermal energy and rendering of other services to third parties.

Starting in 2020, the 'Livestock/Pigs Breeding' and the 'Food Processing' segments were merged as one segment' 'Pigs'. Previously, livestock also included cows and food production included milk and flour, but, this no longer being the case, the Group has decided to change the way it presents segment information.

Performance is measured based on segment profit or loss, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group's CEO. Segment profit or loss is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the Group's segments relative that operate within these industries.

Seasonality of operations

Crop production segment, due to seasonality and implications of relevant reporting standards, in the year mainly reflects the sales of carried forward agricultural produce and effect of biological assets revaluation, while during the second half of the year it reflects sales of crops and effect of revaluation of agricultural produce harvested during the year. Also, crop production segment has seasonal requirements for working capital increase during November-May, to underfake land preparation work. Other segments are not significantly exposed to seasonal fluctuations.
