Chairman and Chief Executive Statement
The Ukrainian economy grew modestly in the first half of 2019
year. Retail sales growth gained momentum in the second quarter of
2019, bolstered by rising wages, while favourable weather
conditions contributed to strong domestic demand towards the end of
the quarter. As a result, the Group`s operations improved
domestically. Signs of weakness continued to linger in the
industrial sector, where production contracted notably in June,
however, this had little impact on the trading of the Group.
Despite concerns regarding the global economy and the
uncertainty that the presidential and parliamentary elections in
Ukraine brought, the Board considers that the overall results of
the Group in first half of 2019 surpassed its expectations.
Trading
During the six months to 30 June 2019, revenue increased by 50%
compared to the previous period. The main drivers of revenue growth
were butter, beverages and processed cheese. The Company estimates
that Ukrproduct's butter market share in Ukraine has increased by
approximately 3% to 10.1% when comparing H1 2019 with H1 2018,
whilst market share in processed cheese and processed cheese
products has decreased by approximately 0.3% to 8.5% when comparing
H1 2019 with H1 2018. However, in the first half of 2019,
Ukrproduct became the top exporter of processed cheese in Ukraine.
Hard cheese sales decreased by 2%, whilst sales of bulk &
packaged spreads increased by 17%. Gross margins have increased
given both increased sales volumes and the seasonal fall in milk
prices in Ukraine. Sales of kvass beverage improved, driven by an
active marketing strategy and the launch of a new product
containing natural ingredients of juice and mint: Mojito.
Export sales increased due to rising export sales in
supplementary products, however, export sales of packaged butter
and spreads decreased overall. Skimmed milk products exports
continue to decline as a result of worldwide prices being lower
than domestic market prices.
The Group continues to expand export sales into non-dairy
products - beverages and other food commodities.
Financial Position
Overall, the aforementioned factors resulted in the sizeable
year-on-year increase in the Group's EBITDA and operating profit
for the first half of 2019. Operating cash-flow was substantially
improved during the period. In the first half of 2019, the Group`s
revenue increased significantly over the same period last year,
with average gross margin improving by 0.3%. The Group earned
profit after tax of GBP740 000 (approximately 25.8 million UAH) for
the period, which is an increase of GBP332 000 (approximately 11.6
million UAH) over the same period last year.
As at 30 June 2019, the Group had total liabilities of GBP 16.8
million (approximately 557.4 million UAH) and net assets of GBP 1.3
million (approximately 43.1 million UAH) with cash balances of GBP
0.2 million (approximately 6.6 million UAH). During the period, the
Company made an interest payment of EUR79 760 to EBRD.
Outlook
Ukrproduct continues to pursue growth opportunities in beverages
and export markets, whilst improving the cost and service
efficiency of the supply chain. Despite continuing political risks
in Ukraine, the Company is hopeful that its performance in the
first half of 2019 will continue throughout the remainder of the
year.

Non-IFRS financial information
The Group's results are reported under International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, the Group uses Non-IFRS
measures including Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA), which are used to measure segment performance. Non-IFRS
measures have not been subject to audit or review.
The Group uses EBIT and EBITDA as key measures of its
performance.
EBIT is an indicator of a company's profitability, calculated as
revenue less expenses, the latter excluding tax and interest. To
external users, EBIT provides information on the Group's ability to
generate earnings directly from its operations, disregarding its
cost of capital and the tax burden and thus making the Group's
results comparable to similar companies across the industry where
those companies may have varying capital structures or tax
environments. To the management, EBIT provides a performance
measure additionally adjusted for expenses that may be deemed fixed
(i.e. stemming from the given capital structure) or externally
imposed by the environment (i.e. the tax burden).

EBIT 723 375
================= =================
EBITDA is calculated as revenue less expenses, the latter
excluding tax, interest, depreciation and amortisation. Being a
proxy to the operating cash flow before working capital changes,
EBITDA is widely used as an indicator of a company's ability to
generate cash flows, as well as its ability to service debt.
Consequently, to the management EBITDA serves as a measure to
estimate financial stability of the Group. Besides, excluding the
effect of depreciation and amortisation along with cost of capital
and taxation provides to external users another measure comparable
to similar companies regardless of varying tax environments,
capital structures or depreciation accounting policies.

Ukrproduct Group
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2019
(in thousand GBP, unless otherwise stated)
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Ukrproduct Group Limited ("the Company") is a public limited
liability company registered in Jersey with a registered office at
26 New Street, St Helier, Jersey, JE2 3RA, Channel Islands.
The Group's overall management and production facilities are
based in Ukraine, with the HQ in Kyiv. The Group commands leading
positions in the Ukrainian processed cheese and packaged butter
markets and owns a range of widely recognisable trademarks in
Ukraine, including "Nash Molochnik" (translated as Our Dairyman),
"Narodniy Product" (People's Product) "Molendam" and "Vershkova
Dolina" (Creamy Valley).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed consolidated
financial information in this half yearly report has been prepared
in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim
Financial Reporting' (IAS 34), as adopted by the EU, and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority.
The interim financial statements are unaudited but have been
reviewed by the auditors.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
historical cost basis, except for significant items of property,
plant and equipment which have been measured using revaluation
model. The consolidated financial statements are presented in
British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and all values are rounded to the
nearest thousand (GBP000) except where otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies used and the methods of computation is
the same as those disclosed in the Group's recent annual
consolidated financial statements except for the adoption of new
and revised accounting standards as disclosed in Note 3.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies
and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Board has reviewed the Group's ongoing commitments for the
next twelve months and beyond.
The Board's review included the Group's strategic plans and
updated forecasts, capital position, liquidity and credit
facilities. Based on this review no material uncertainties that
would require disclosure have been identified in relation to the
ability of the Group to remain a going concern for at least the
next twelve months, from both the date of the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the approval of
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(a) Going concern
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which envisages the
disposal of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal
course of business. The recoverability of Group's assets, as well
as the future operations of the Group, may be significantly
affected by the current and future economic environment. The Board
notified EBRD in advance of covenant breaches of the Loan during
the first half of 2019. EBRD noted that actual breach of covenants
is significantly improved when compared to the previous period and
EBRD has continued to not demand accelerated repayment. This
benefited the overall financial results for the Group, which
significantly increased and the Group generated positive cash flow
from operating activities totaling GBP 1.02 million. Accordingly,
Management believes that Group has reliable access to sources of
financing capable to support appropriate operating activity of
Group entities.
(b) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Ukrainian Hryvnia is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the majority of
the Group companies operate.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Group's companies are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the company operates ("the functional
currency"). For the companies operating in Cyprus and BVI the
functional currency is United States Dollars ("USD"). For the
Parent company which located in Jersey the functional currency is
Pound Sterling ("GBP"). For the companies operating in Ukraine the
functional currency is Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH").
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are
presented in the thousands of Pound Sterling ("GBP"), unless
otherwise indicated.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
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 denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of
exchange ruling at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost
in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at
the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured
at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
The principal exchange rates used in the preparation of these
condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as
follows:
Currency 30 June Average for 31 December 30 June Average for
2019 the six months 2018 2018 the six months
ended ended
(spot rate) 30 June (spot rate) (spot rate) 30 June
2019 2018
---------- ------------- ---------------- ------------- ------------- ----------------

UAH/USD 26,17 26,94 27,69 26,19 26,76
UAH/EUR 29,73 30,45 31,71 30,57 32,42
(c) Reclassification
Where applicable, comparatives have been adjusted to present
them on the same basis as current period figures.
(d) Rounding of amounts
Amounts in this financial report have, unless otherwise
indicated, been rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
IFRS 16 'Leases'
IFRS 16 replaced the existing standard IAS 17 'Leases' with
effect from 1 January 2019. Its objective is to ensure that lessees
and lessors provide relevant information in a manner that
faithfully represent lease transactions.
The Group elected to use the following practical expedients on
transition:
- Use of single discount rates to reflecting similar lease terms
and economic environments
- Recognition exemptions for lease contracts that at the
transition date have a remaining lease term of 12 months or
less
- Exclusion of initial direct costs from the measurement of the
right of use asset
- The use of hindsight in determining the lease term for
contracts containing options to extend or terminate the lease.
Recognition and measurement
The lease liability is recognised at the inception of a lease as
the present value of the fixed and certain variable lease payments,
plus any guaranteed residual values, any termination penalties if
the lease term assumes termination options will be exercised and
the purchase option value if it is reasonably certain that it will
be exercised.
Interest is accrued on the lease liability based on the discount
rate at commencement of the lease and is accounted for in finance
costs and subsequent payments are deducted from the lease
liability.
The right of use asset is initially measured as the value of the
lease liability, adjusted for any indirect costs incurred to obtain
the lease, restoration provisions and any lease payments made
before the commencement of the lease.
The right of use asset will be depreciated over the life of the
contract on a straight line basis.
Where the Group act as a lessor the lease will be classified as
a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risk and
rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, or
otherwise as an operating lease.
Nature and effect of adoption of IFRS 16
There are no significant impact on the Group's consolidated
financial statements.
IAS 19 'Employee Benefits'
An amendment to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or
Settlement issued by the IASB on 7 February 2018 was endorsed by
the European Union on 13 March 2019 and became effective from 1
January 2019. This requires a net defined benefit asset or
liability to be remeasured using the current assumptions and fair
value of plan assets at the time of the amendment. Current service
cost and net interest for the remainder of the period are
remeasured using the same assumptions and the same fair value of
plan assets.
No such event occurred during the 6 months period ended 30 June
2019.
IFRIC 23 'Uncertainty over tax income treatment'
IFRIC 23 'Uncertainty over tax income treatment' specifies how
to reflect the effect of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes
where it may be unclear how tax law applies to a particular
transaction or circumstance, or whether a taxation authority will
accept a tax treatment.
This interpretation has not had a material impact on the Group's
consolidated financial statements.
4. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts'
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS
17 'Insurance Contracts' in May 2017 to replace IFRS 4 'Insurance
Contracts' for annual reporting periods beginning, at the latest,
on or after 1 January 2021. It has subsequently published an
Exposure Draft (ED) proposing targeted amendments in response to
concerns and challenges raised by stakeholders, including a
proposal to defer the implementation of IFRS 17 by one year and to
extend the exemption from applying IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'
for the same period.
It is expected that the deferral proposals will be approved and
incorporated into an amended IFRS 17 standard due to be issued
during 2020.
Draft legislation has been laid before Parliament to ensure that
IFRS as endorsed by the EU at the date of the UK leaving the EU
will be adopted for use in the UK as well as providing the
Secretary of State with the power to adopt and endorse IFRS for use
in the UK. It is expected that this power will be delegated to a UK
IFRS Endorsement Board. In the event that IFRS 17 has not been
endorsed by the EU by the time the UK leaves the EU, including any
transitional period or arrangements that may be agreed, then the UK
IFRS Endorsement Board will have responsibility for its
endorsement. This is being monitored closely.
Other pronouncements
There are a number of amendments to IFRS that have been issued
by the IASB that become mandatory during 2019 or in a subsequent
accounting period. The Group has evaluated these changes and none
have had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
5. ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the interim financial report requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
6. INVENTORY WRITE OFF TO NET REALISABLE VALUE
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable
value.
The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
The cost of work in progress and finished goods includes costs
of direct materials and labor and other direct productions costs
and related production overheads (based on normal operating
capacity).
The cost of inventories is assigned by using the FIFO
method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The Group periodically analyses inventories to determine whether
they are damaged, obsolete or slow-moving or if their net
realisable value has declined, and makes an allowance for such
inventories.
The loss from impairment of inventories amounted to:

share trusts and held as own shares.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Parent Company by
