Chairman and Chief Executive Statement
Ukrproduct, one of the leading Ukrainian producers and
distributors of branded dairy foods and beverages (kvass), is
pleased to announce its interim results for the half year ended 30
June 2022 ("1H 2022") and outlook for the remainder of 2022.
2022 Half-Year Trading Update
Trading in 2022 was severely affected by the Russian invasion of
Ukraine and the ongoing war. Ukrainian regions experienced a loss
of production capacity in the occupied territory and in the war
zone. Moreover, damaged infrastructure and increases in fuel prices
together with fuel shortages, have impacted transportation and
adversely affected logistics costs, both on the supply and
distribution side. As the Ukrainian sea ports have been blockaded
by the Russian Navy, there is increased pressure on the remaining
routes for export.
In 2022, dairy processing enterprises throughout Ukraine did not
have the opportunity to fully utilize production capacities as a
result of difficulties in sourcing raw material. In the first half
of 2022 the total milk production in Ukraine declined by 13.2% down
to 3.7 million tons compared to the same period last year.
Decreases in milk production, increases in fuel price and the
effect of the occupation of part of the territories of Ukraine has,
of course, led to an increase in the purchase price of milk.
As a result, management took steps to secure the supply chain
vital for operational continuity. The Group concluded contracts
with new alternative suppliers, where necessary, and developed new
logistics routes. The central warehouse was moved to the one of
Group's main plants at Zhytomyr, away from the line of active
hostilities.
2022 Half-Year Highlights
Consolidated revenue of the Group for the 1H 2022 decreased by
28.4% to GBP18.3 million while Gross profit increased by 63.6% to
GBP3.3 million. The Group raised prices for products several times
and decreased trade marketing activities, which made it possible to
compensate for the increase in prices for raw materials, fuel and
energy and to increase gross profit margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as CAPEX,
have been reduced to the minimum required to meet the primary needs
of the Group's core business.
Major customers have not been affected by the hostilities and
continue to cooperate and fulfil their contractual obligations with
the Group. Nevertheless, the Group recognized additional provision
for trade receivables of GBP1.2 million, which is a part of Other
operating expenses.
Trading headwinds were significant and meant the Group's EBITDA
in 1H 2022 reduced by 7.7% to GBP0.4 million compared with 1H 2021,
with the EBITDA margin increasing from 1.9% in 1H 2021 to 2.4% in
1H 2022. The Group's EBITDA in 1H 2022, if adjusted and stated
before expenses relating to the war (including additional bad debt
provision for receivables from customers which have been affected
by the hostilities ) would amount to GBP1.6 million.
The consolidated net loss of Ukrproduct for 1H 2022 amounted to
GBP0.2 million compared with a net profit of GBP0.2 million in 1H
2021.
Financial position
As at 30 June 2022, Ukrproduct had net assets of GBP 6. 3
million compared to GBP5.7 million as at 30 June 2021.
For the six months ended 30 June 2022, the Group continued to be
in breach of several provisions of the loan agreement with the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD"), missed
some interest payments and repayments and the EBRD has not issued a
waiver for the breaches. The Company has been holding negotiations
with the EBRD to potentially restructure the loan repayment
schedule since June 2021. At this current stage the active phase of
negotiations with EBRD has been slowed owing to the ongoing war in
Ukraine. At present, the EBRD has taken no action to accelerate
repayment of the loan.
Outlook for 2022
The development of the business in the second half of 2022
remains highly uncertain due to the ongoing war and further local
currency devaluation and inflation in Ukraine. Ukrproduct continues
to implement further efficiencies in procurement, processing,
distribution and sales of its products, with a major focus on
diversifying risks, maintaining profitability and Group assets.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 20 22
(in thousand GBP, unless otherwise stated)
EXTRACTS FROM NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) 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.
2. Going concern
On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a
full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Having examined the
existing and potential implications of the war for the Ukraine
located businesses, the management of the Group have identified
several points of specific concern that require careful analysis
and assessment. They include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- risks related to safety of personnel;
- risk of physical destruction of the production assets;
- risks of disruption of the supply and distribution chains;
- risk of liquidity and limited access to financing.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have
assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. T he
Company performed an analysis of the future cash flows and budgets
for the next 12 months based on the known facts and events applying
to them, including multiple scenarios as a result of the ongoing
war with the Russian Federation . The analysis revealed that the
Group would continue to maintain sufficient cash resources as well
as a stable flow of revenues in due course. The Group fully
complies with all sanctions rules and regulations regarding Russia
and Belarus.
Management is taking steps to secure the supply chain which is
vital for operational continuity. The Group concluded contracts
with new alternative suppliers where necessary and developed new
logistics routes. The central warehouse was moved to the one of
Group 's main plant s at Zhytomyr , away from the line of active
hostilities. Major customers have not been affected by the
hostilities and continue to cooperate and fulfil their contractual
obligations with the Group. The military action has had no critical
impact on the local distribution. The share of sales in the most
affected regions does not exceed 15%.
Selling, general and administrative and other operating
expenses, as well as CAPEX, has been reduced to the minimum
required to meet the primary needs of the Group's core
business.
The Group's management is exploring various opportunities to
attract additional financing to support the Group's the liquidity
under different state aid programs.

2. Going concern (continued)
For the six months ended 30 June 2022, the Group continued to be
in breach of several provisions of the loan agreement with the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD"), missed
some interest payments and repayments and the EBRD has not issued a
waiver for the breaches. The Company has been holding negotiations
with the EBRD to potentially restructure the loan repayment
schedule since June 2021. At this current stage the active phase of
negotiations with EBRD has been slowed owing to the ongoing war in
Ukraine. At present, the EBRD has taken no action to accelerate
repayment of the loan.
These financial statements are prepared using the going concern
basis assumption.
3. Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
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 British
Virgin Islands, the functional currency is United States Dollars
("USD"). For the Parent company, which is 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.

4. Subsequent events
As of the date of this report, the Group continues to operate.
The management of the Group controls all of its operations. Office
staff mostly work remotely, while production staff perform their
duties at their sites. As of the date of this report, the war in
Ukraine continues.
The duration and consequences of the war in Ukraine are
currently unclear. It is not possible to reliably estimate the
duration and severity of these consequences, as well as their
impact on the financial position and results of the Group in future
periods.
Subsequent to 31 December 2021 and up to the date of these
consolidated financial statements, the Group has not settled the
principal and interest payment with reference to the loan agreement
schedule with the EBRD. The Company have been holding negotiations
with the EBRD to potentially restructure the loan repayment
schedule since June 2021. At this current stage the active phase of
negotiations with EBRD has slowed owing to the ongoing war in
Ukraine. At present the EBRD has taken no action to accelerate
repayment of the loan.
On 22 July 2022 the National Bank of Ukraine increased the
official exchange rate of EUR to UAH up to 37.27 UAH from 29.81 as
at 21 July 2022. As a result, the Group expect significant foreign
exchange losses related to EBRD loan liabilities in the second half
of 2022.
There were no other events after the end of the reporting date,
which would have a material impact on the financial statements.
