STRATEGIC REPORT |
For The Year Ended 31 December 2016 |
The director presents her strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2016. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
In 2016 considerable efforts have been applied to follow the previously adopted strategy of diversification to |
production, distribution and research rather than simple trade. |
I. Production |
The Company established a Joint Venture "Belagrofert" in the city of Grodno, Belarus' and production of granular |
ammonium sulphate started on line number one in May 2017. |
The first quantities of high quality product have been successfully sold to the great satisfaction of our customers. |
The first line will be followed by four further production lines that will produce highly innovative mixtures of mineral, |
organo-mineral, organo-mineral-microbiological fertilisers together with a few pioneers paving a new era in |
fertilisation history. |
This is the first step in development of the company as producer worldwide. |
II. Distribution |
Ukraine became a first trial country to develop distribution. |
Regardless of the controversial situation and apprehensive attitude of banks due to political situation Ukraine |
remains of the most dynamic countries for development of fertilisers market. |
Ukraine is in the top 10 agricultural producers and top 5 agricultural exporters in the world. |
The amount of fertilisers potentially needed is up to 8 million with current consumption of around 4.5 to 5 million. |
The company has developed a number of programs for entering the Ukrainian fertiliser distribution market. |
1. Acquisition of a number of warehouses in order to be more feet on ground in local market and be closer to final |
consumer. |
2. Establishing a Joint Venture Agrorozkvit Ltd. with the OJSC Belarus' Potash Company for distribution of all |
production of JSC Belaruskali. |
The Joint Venture Company is now successfully functioning bringing the product of the biggest MOP producer in the |
world to the final consumers. |
3. Channelling agreements with a few major producers of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilisers for distribution of |
their products in Ukrainian market including OCP, Morocco are under finalisation stage. |
4. Distribution of our own produced granular ammonium sulphate from JSC "Belagrofert". |
5. The supply of numerous nitrogen fertilisers from the free market as well as the supply of so called specialise, |
bringing to farmers the 18 basic oligo elements so necessary in healthy and balanced fertilisation process. |
III. Research |
One most important direction for our development is scientific research and elaboration of unique combinations of |
products to bring to soil and plants optimal inputs. |
The Company now has two own patents for the combination of mineral and microbiological components into one |
single fertilisers and continues working and researching for the creation of more formulas enhancing productivity |
and sanitising soils and plants. |

DIRECTOR |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements |
in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the |
director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted |
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director |
must not approve the financial statements unless she is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of |
affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial |
statements, the director is required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the |
company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and |
enable her to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. She is also responsible for |
safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of |
fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies |
Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and she has taken all the steps that she ought to have |
taken as a director in order to make herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the |
company's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Crane & Partners, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AGROFERTRANS LTD. |
We have audited the financial statements of Agrofertrans Ltd. for the year ended 31 December 2016 on pages |
seven to seventeen. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law |
and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the |
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those |
matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent |
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's |
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
Respective responsibilities of director and auditors |
Scope of the audit of the financial statements |
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give |
reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or |
error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's |
circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant |
accounting estimates made by the director; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we |
read all the financial and non-financial information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director to identify |
material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently |
materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of |
performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider |
the implications for our report. |
Opinion on financial statements |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2016 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, the information given in the Strategic Report |
and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with |
the financial statements, and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. In the light of the |
knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment, we have not identified any material |
misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Director. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AGROFERTRANS LTD. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to |
you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, |
rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except |
to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted |
or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the |
balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different |
from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates |
and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to |
the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that |
they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the |
balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange |
ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating |
result. |
