  · The acquisition of Landkom International Plc (Landkom) in January 2012 gave
the Company control over an additional 77,000 ha of land in Ukraine. After the
acquisition, the Group became involved in a legal dispute with a former supplier
of Landkom. The dispute was resolved in October 2012 but hampered the Ukrainian
operations and post-merger integration as well as holding back profitability.

Ulf Scholander, Managing Director, commented

“The Group will continue to take advantage of the continuing attractive pricing
environment, building on its success in Russia and improving performance in
Ukraine moving forward from the legal difficulties of 2012."

"The Group’s land bank will be reduced and improved, our machinery fleet will be
renewed and we will focus on the most profitable crops whilst keeping a close
eye on costs.”
