The interim company financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2011 were authorized for issue on 15 November 2011.
2. Basis of preparation
The interim company financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS') as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS-EU').
The interim company financial statements are prepared on a going-concern basis, under which assets are sold and liabilities are repaid in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying interim company financial statements do not include adjustments that would need to be made in case if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies
Recognition and measurement of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the Company's interim statements of the financial position when the Company becomes a contractual party regarding the corresponding financial instrument. The Company records the acquisition and sale of financial assets and financial liabilities at the settlement date.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus, if a financial asset or financial liability is recognized not at fair value through profit or loss, incurred operating expenses directly related to the acquisition or issue of this financial asset or financial liability.
Fait value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is calculated on the basis of current market value at the close of trading on the reporting date. Regarding investments in securities for which there is no active market, fair value is calculated using other methods of valuation of financial instruments. Such valuation methods include the use of information on recent market transactions between well informed, willing to commit such transaction, independent parties, or data about the current market value of another similar instrument, discounted cash flow analysis or other pricing models.
Notes on pages 7 - 16 form an integral part of these interim company financial statements
OVOSTAR UNION N.V.
Interim Company Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accounting policy for subsequent revaluation of these items is disclosed below in the appropriate sections of accounting policy.
Financial assets
Investments recognized in the accounting records and derecognized at the tune of transaction, in case if investments are purchased or sold in accordance with the contract, terms of which require delivery of an instrument within the time specified in the relevant market, are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs directly attributable to the transaction, except for financial assets belonging to the category of assets at fair value through profit or loss that are initially recognized at fair value.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; held-to-maturity financial assets; available-for-sale financial assets; loans and receivables. Classification of financial assets depends on their nature and purpose of acquisition and takes place at the time of recognition in the accounting records.
Effective interest rate method
The effective interest rate method is used to calculate the amortized cost of a financial asset and distribute interest income during the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that enables discounting of estimated future cash receipts through tie expected life of a financial asset or a shorter period, if applicable.
Revenues relating to debt instruments are recorded at the effective interest rate method, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - a financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if it is:
- purchased originally for the purpose of sale or repayment within a short period of time; or
- a part of the portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together, and structure of which demonstrates the intention of profit earning in the short term; or
- a derivative that is not classified as a hedging instrument and is not effective for these purposes.
A financial asset that is not a financial asset held-for-trading may be classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss at the time of recognition in the accounting records if:
- application of such classification eliminates or significantly reduces discrepancies in valuation or accounting, that otherwise might arise, or
- a financial asset is a part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both groups, which are managed and controlled on the basis of fair value in accordance with a documented risk or investment management strategy, and information about this group is provided internally on that basis, or
- it exists in the framework of the contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits to classify the whole contract (asset or liability) as at fair value through profit or loss.
Notes on pages 7 - 16 form an integral part of these interim company financial statements
OVOSTAR UNION N.V.
Interim Company Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with arising gains or losses recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Net gains or losses recognized in the income statement include dividends and interest received on the relevant financial asset. During the period covered by these interim company financial statements, the Company did not hold any investments.
Held-to-maturity investments - investments held to maturity are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment, and income is recognized using the effective yield method. During the reporting period presented in these interim company financial statements, the Company had no investments of this category.
Loans and receivables - accounts receivable regarding principal activities, loans, borrowings and other receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as "loans and receivables". Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment and uncollectible debts. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables for which the amount of such interest income is insignificant.
Available-for-sale financial assets - financial assets available for sale represent those non-derivative financial assets that are classified as available for sale or those that do not fall into any of the three previous categories. After initial recognition these assets are measured at fair value with revaluation result transferred directly in equity (in the allowance for unrealized profits) until they are sold; in this situation the accumulated gains and losses previously recognized in equity are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Interest received or paid on these investments is recorded as interest income or expenses using the effective interest rate. Dividends received on these investments are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income as a part of dividends received at the time of registration of a corresponding right or receipt of payment.
Unquoted investments available for sale are accounted for at cost if their fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in bank accounts.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, at each reporting date are assessed for signs indicating impairment. Impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence of reduction of the estimated future cash flows on this asset as a result of one or more events that occurred after the financial asset was recorded in the accounting. For financial assets at amortized cost, the amount of impairment is calculated as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate.
Impairment loss directly reduces the carrying amount of all financial assets, except for accounts receivable on principal activities, carrying amount of which is reduced due to the allowance formed. If the accounts receivable on principal activities are uncollectible, they are written-off against the related allowance. Subsequently received reimbursements of amounts previously written-off are recorded in
Notes on pages 7 - 16 form an integral part of these interim company financial statements
OVOSTAR UNION N.V.
Interim Company Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
credit of the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recorded in the profit and loss.
Except for equity instruments available for sale, if in a subsequent period the amount of impairment loss decreases and such decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the impairment loss previously recognized is recovered by adjusting the items in the income statement. In this case, the carrying amount of financial investments at the date of recovery of impairment cannot exceed its amortized cost, which would be reflected in the case, if impairment was not recognized.
In respect of equity securities available for sale, any increase in fair value after recognition of impairment loss relates directly to equity.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company writes-off a financial asset only if rights for cash flows under the corresponding contract terminated the treaty or if a financial asset and corresponding risks and rewards are transferred to other organization. If the Company does not transfer or retain all the principal risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and continues to control the transferred asset, it shall record its share in the asset and related liability in the amount of possible payment of corresponding amounts. If the Company retains all the principal risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred financial asset, it shall continue to account for the financial asset, and reflect a secured loan on income earned.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company
Classification as liabilities or equity
Debt and equity financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity based on the substance of the corresponding contractual obligations.
Equity instruments
Equity instrument is any contract confirming the right for a share in the company's assets remaining after deducting all its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded in the amount of generated income, net of direct expenses for their issue.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or as other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is:
- assumed mainly to be repurchased within a short period of time; or
- a part of the portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together, and structure of which demonstrates the intention of profit earning in the short term; or

OVOSTAR UNION N.V.
Interim Company Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- a derivative that is not classified as a hedging instrument and is not effective for these purposes.
A financial liability that is not a financial liability held-for-trading may be classified as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss at the time of recognition in the accounting records if:
- application of such classification eliminates or significantly reduces discrepancies in valuation or accounting, that otherwise might arise, or
- a financial liability is a part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both groups, which are managed and controlled on the basis of fair value in accordance with a documented risk or investment management strategy, and information about this group is provided internally on that basis, or
- it exists in the framework of the contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits to classify the whole contract (asset or liability) as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with arising gains or losses recognized in the financial results. Net gains or losses recognized in the income statement include interest paid on a financial liability.
Other financial liabilities - other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are accounted for at fair value less transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, with the recognition of interest expenses using the effective (actual) yield.
Trade and other accounts payable
Trade payables are recognized when the counterparty fulfills its contractual obligations and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company writes-off financial liabilities only when they are repaid, cancelled or expire.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are initially recorded at exchange rates set on the dates of these transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such currencies are translated at the rates applicable at the reporting date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from exchange rate differences are included in profit or loss for the period.
Relevant exchange rates are presented as follows:
| As at 30 September 2011 | |
|---|---|
| EUR | 0.7354 |
| PLN | 3.2474 |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, except where the probability of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is insignificant.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements, but disclosed in the notes to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company.
Revenue recognition
Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with this transaction will flow to the Company.
Revenues from rendering of services are recognized in the reporting period in which the services were provided, based on the level of completion of the specific transaction and only when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with this transaction will flow to the Company.
Income and expenses relating to the same transaction or event are recognized simultaneously. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method.
Income tax
Income tax is calculated in accordance with the requirements of the applicable legislation of The Netherlands. Income tax is calculated on the basis of financial results for the year adjusted to items that are not included in taxable income or that cannot be attributed to gross expenses. It is calculated using tax rates effective at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used to calculate taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recorded taking into account the degree of certainty in sufficient taxable income, which enables to realize temporary differences related to gross expenses.
Deferred tax is calculated at tax rates, which presumably will be applied during the sale of related assets or repayment of related liabilities.
Assets and liabilities on deferred income tax are offset when: a) The Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized current income tax assets and liabilities; b) the Company intends either to perform settlement by offsetting counterclaims, or simultaneously sell the asset and settle the liability; c) deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority in each future period in which it is intended to repay or reimburse a significant amount of deferred tax liabilities and assets.
Deferred income tax is recognized in the income statement, except when it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this case the deferred tax is also recognized in equity.

Interim Company Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In accordance with plans of the Company, its working capital needs are satisfied by cash flows from operating activities, as well as by use of loans if cash flows from operating activities are insufficient for liabilities to be settled.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company does not use any derivatives to manage foreign currency risk exposure, at the same time the management of the Group sets limits on the level of exposure by currencies.
Exposure to foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities as of 30 September 2011 were as follows:
30 September 2011
(in conversion to USD thousand)
| USD | EUR | PLN | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| Cash in bank | 5 | - | 12 392 | 12 397 |
| Liabilities | ||||
| Current accounts shareholder | (79) | - | - | (79) |
| Trade accounts payables | (12) | (73) | (17) | (102) |
| Net exposure to foreign currency risk | (86) | (73) | 12 375 | 12 216 |
This sensitivity rate represents Management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for expected change in foreign currency rates.
Interest rate risk
At 30 September 2011 the Company did not record any interest beating loans receivable or payable on its books and hence the Company is not subject to an interest rate risk.

ovostar union
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 were authorized for issue on the 15 November 2011.
2.1. Basis of preparation
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except as described below.
Exceptional items are disclosed and described separately in the financial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide further understanding of the financial performance of the Group. They are material items of income or expense that have been shown separately due to the significance of their nature or amount.
The companies of the Group maintain their accounting records under Ukrainian Accounting Standards ("UAS"). UAS principles and procedures may differ from those generally accepted under IFRS. Accordingly, the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, which have been prepared from the Group entities’ UAS records, reflect adjustments necessary for such financial statements to be presented in accordance with IFRS.
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for biological assets, agricultural produce, and certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated condensed interim financial statements are presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.
Relevant exchange rates are presented as follows:
| As at 30 September 2011 | As at 30 September 2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| USD | 7.9727 | 7.9135 |
| EUR | 10.8548 | 10.7711 |
The financial statements are prepared on a going-concern basis, under which assets are sold and liabilities are repaid in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments that would need to be made in case if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern.
2.2. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2011.
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent and entities controlled by the Parent (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Parent has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity, either directly or indirectly, so as to obtain benefits

from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Group from the date when control effectively commences.
All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains/(losses) on transactions are eliminated on consolidated condensed interim, except when the intragroup losses indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.
Non-controlling interests represent the interest in subsidiaries not held by the Group. Non-controlling interests at the reporting date represent the minority shareholders' portion of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at the acquisition date and the minorities' portion of changes in net assets since the date of the combination. Non-controlling interests are presented within the shareholders' equity.
Any excess or deficit of the consideration paid over the net assets on the acquisition of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries is charged or credited to accumulated profits.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those adopted by the Group.
3. New standards, interpretations and amendments
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations as of 1 January 2011, as noted below:
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)
The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. It clarified the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Group does not expect any impact on its financial position or performance. Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire standard.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment)
The amendment to IAS 32 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010 and amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity's non-derivative equity instruments, or to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. This amendment will have no impact on the Group after initial application.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as defined in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address classification and measurement of financial liabilities, hedge accounting and derecognition. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011.
IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement (Amendment)
The amendment to IFRIC 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 with retrospective application. The amendment provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net

pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset. This amendment will have no impact on the Group after initial application.
Improvements to IFRSs (issued in May 2010)
In May 2010, the IASB issued its third omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies, but did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
- IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
- IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes
4. Seasonality of operations
The Group earns a major part of its revenues and margins in the second half of the calendar and financial year. Typically egg prices are the lowest in May-August and the highest during the winter months. The Group attempts to minimize the seasonal impact through the management of inventories to meet demand; however, for the nine months typically results in lower revenues for all reportable segments.
5. Segment information
All of the Group’s operations are located within Ukraine.
Segment information is analyzed on the basis of the types of goods supplied by the Group’s operating divisions. The Group’s reportable segments under IFRS 8 are therefore as follows:
- Egg operations segment
- sales of egg
- sales of chicken meat
- Egg products operations segment
- sales of egg processing products
- Sunflower products operations segment
- sales of sunflower oil and related products
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in Note 4. Sales between segments are mainly carried out at market prices. Segment result represents operating profit before tax. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:
- All assets are allocated to reportable segments.
- All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments.

10. Income tax
Companies of the Group that are involved in agricultural production pay the Fixed Agricultural Tax (the "FAT") in accordance with the applicable laws. The FAT is paid in lieu of corporate income tax, land tax, duties for geological survey works and duties for trade patents.
The FAT is calculated by local authorities and depends on the area and valuation of land occupied. This tax regime is valid indefinitely. FAT does not constitute an income tax, and as such, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in administrative expenses.
During the years ended 31 December 2010 the Group companies which have the status of the Corporate Income Tax (the "CIT") payers in Ukraine were subject to income tax at a 25% rate. The new Tax Code of Ukraine effective as of 1 January 2011, introduced gradual decreases in income tax rates over the future years (from 23% effective 1 April 2011 to 16% effective 1 January 2014), as well as certain changes to the rules of income tax assessment starting from 1 April 2011. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of 30 September 2011 were measured based on the tax rates expected to be applied to the period when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The major components of income tax expense for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 and 2010 are:

20. Commitments and contingencies
Contingent liabilities
Operating environment – The principal business activities of the Group are within Ukraine. Emerging markets such as Ukraine are subject to different risks than more developed markets, including economic, political and social, and legal and legislative risks. As has happened in the past, actual or perceived financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could adversely affect the investment climate in Ukraine and the Ukraine's economy in general. Laws and regulations affecting businesses operating in Ukraine are subject to rapid changes and the Group's assets and operations could be at risk if there are any adverse changes in the political and business environment.
The Ukraine's economy returned to growth in 2010 after the global financial turmoil. Although significant economic uncertainties remain, Ukrainian economy experienced a 4.2% GDP growth in 2010 and further recovery is expected in 2011. The Ukrainian currency remained relatively stable in 2010 and for the nine months 2011.
Taxation – Ukrainian tax authorities are increasingly directing their attention to the business community as a result of the overall Ukrainian economic environment. In respect of this, the local and national tax environment in Ukraine is constantly changing and subject to inconsistent application, interpretation and enforcement. Non-compliance with Ukrainian laws and regulations can lead to the imposition of severe penalties and interest. Future tax examinations could raise issues or assessments which are contrary to the Group companies' tax filings. Such assessments could include taxes, penalties and interest, and these amounts could be material. While the Group believes it has complied with local tax legislation, there have been many new tax and foreign currency laws and related regulations introduced in recent years which are not always clearly written.
In December 2010, the Tax Code of Ukraine was officially published. In its entirety, the Tax Code of Ukraine became effective on 1 January 2011, while some of its provisions take effect later (such as, Section III dealing with corporate income tax, came into force from 1 April 2011). Apart from changes in CIT rates from 1 April 2011 and planned abandonment of VAT refunds for agricultural industry from 1 January 2018, the Tax Code also changes various other taxation rules.
