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.

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").

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.
5. Approval of interim statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 29 September 2022
