CEO's REPORT

The business environment improved overall in the Ukraine as GDP increased by several points. Consumers became somewhat more positive as minimum wages were increased.

The dairy market place continues to be competitive.

Trading

Volumes & revenues increased substantially over the same period in 2016.

Branded sales improved overall, with the main categories of packaged butter improving and processed cheese sales leading the way. Hard cheese & spreads sales have remained consistent. Gross margins have more than doubled given the volumes & seasonal falling milk prices. Private label sales fell as low margin business was reduced. The kvass beverage sales improved, helped by a new cider product.

Export sales were even more buoyant given impetus by the exchange rate. Butter sales improved tenfold in volume & gross margin.

SMP continues to be a negative given low prices worldwide. The spray drying facility has been utilised for contract processing. Sales have improved & delivered a very strong profit contribution of £250k.

Finances

In the half year to June 2017 as stated, sales revenues increased substantially over last year. Gross margins advanced by over 2%.

EBITDA improved to 4.8% from negative. This led to profit from operations of £408k (£220k loss). After finance charges & tax, profit stood at £234k. A negative exchange difference of £230k leaves a net profit of £4k (£1,098k loss).

The move into profit was accompanied by a net increase in cash of £240k.

Repayments of the EBRD loan have commenced on schedule.

Outlook

The turnaround to a profit & related positive cash flow is encouraging. UPG has needed to reset its business in a competitive market place. This is a continuing process. UPG will seek to sustain operational improvement via a strategy of focusing on cash production, operating efficiency & building profitable sales with a competitive product/service offering.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim financial statements are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditors.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain properties.

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in this unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

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 comparatives for the six months ended 30 June 2016 are extracted from the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The auditor's report for those accounts was unqualified, but did include references to an emphasis of matter in respect of going concern due to the Group incurring a loss during the year as well as the uncertainty surrounding the breach of loan agreement convenants with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the "EBRD") and the maturity of the external financing arrangements with OTP Bank falling due on 9 September 2017.

Going concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for the foreseeable future.The Group earned profit of 4 thousand GBP for the six months ended 30 June 2017. This is primarily due to increasing world prices for butter and increases in the volume of milk produced.Despite the negative economic conditions in Ukraine the Group signed new terms in respect of the loan with EBRD with the loan being divided into Tranche A, with a maturity date 1 December 2022 and interest being payable at a margin of 5% over EURIBOR per annum, and Tranche B, with a maturity date 1 December 2024 and interest being payable at the higher of EURIBOR or 1% per annum upto 1 December 2022 and at a margin of 5% over EURIBOR per annum thereafter. Despite loan repayments being made as scheduled, the Group breached financial covenants as at 30 June 2017. The Board notified EBRD in advance of covenant breaches of the Loan and EBRD provided waivers in respect of the breached covenants dated 30 June 2017. The Group has also agreed an extension to the loan agreement with OTP bank for a further three months with the maturity date being 8 December 2017. It is management's intention to revise the terms of this loan prior to this date.Based on the existence of these conditions, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, because management believes that it has employed sufficient and appropriate measures to underpin its cost cutting strategy including but not limited to: increasing volume of export sales and full production capacity.

2. Earnings per share
