Report on the abbreviated consolidated financial statements 2018 Our opinion In our opinion the accompanying abbreviated consolidated financial statements 2018 of DTEK Energy B.V. (‘The Company’), are consistent, in all material respects, with the audited statutory financial statements, in accordance with the basis described in Note 3 on page 8 of the abbreviated consolidated financial statements. The abbreviated consolidated financial statements The Company’s abbreviated consolidated financial statements derived from the audited statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 comprise: · the abbreviated consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2018; · the abbreviated consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended; · the abbreviated consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; · the abbreviated consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and the related notes to the abbreviated consolidated financial statements.

The audited statutory financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the audited statutory financial statements in our report dated 16 April 2019. The report also includes: · A ‘Material uncertainty related to going concern’ section that draws attention to the paragraph ‘going concern’ as included in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements (as well as in paragraph ‘going concern’ in Note 3 of the abbreviated consolidated financial statements), which states that DTEK Energy B.V. has been negatively affected by the devaluation of the national currency of Ukraine in the period 2014 to 2016. This resulted in a breach of certain bank covenants and thus gave a number of the Group’s lenders the ability to legally require repayment of the respective debt on demand. In December 2016, the Group’s bonds were restructured. Furthermore, in 2017-2018 a majority of the Group’s bank borrowings were also restructured. The Group remains in discussions with lenders towards the goal of restructuring its remaining bank borrowings, which continue to be in breach of certain bank covenants. As a consequence, in order for the Group to achieve its positive cash flow estimates for periods throughout 2019 and the first six months of 2020, the Group among other assumptions made by management, is still dependent on the willingness of the Group’s remaining lenders not to demand repayment in relation to the unrestructured part of the debt and to continue their support of the Group. This, along with other matters as described in the paragraph ‘going concern’ as included in Note 3, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of DTEK Energy B.V. to continue as a going concern. Responsibilities of management for the abbreviated consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation of the abbreviated consolidated financial statements in accordance with the basis described in Note 3. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the abbreviated consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the audited statutory financial statements based on our procedures, which we conducted in accordance with Dutch Law, including the Dutch Standard 810 ‘Engagements to report on summary financial statements’.

A brief summary of business activities, immediately below, will attest to the level of new-found interest in Ukraine, which is arguably one of the top emerging markets in the world. At the same time, doing business in Ukraine is not exactly a rose garden. Thus, we will also give you a summary of the bad news. I. The Good News: Ukrainian M&A Report Many large Western companies have been operating in Ukraine for years, and only recently have decided to drastically increase their investment. For instance, in 2007 McDonalds is investing $7 million into 4 new restaurants in Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkiv and Kriyvy Rih, in addition to their 57 other establishments. Swiss-based Nestle, who started doing business in Ukraine in 1994, will invest $50 million into a new greenfield ketchup and sauce production in Volyn region in addition to their Svitoch chocolate factory, acquired in 1998. The US company, Archer Daniels Midland, bought from Risoil S.A. (Switzerland) 100% stock in Illichevsk Oil Extraction Factory in the Odessa region, consolidating full control over one of the world’s top three producers of unrefined sunflower oil. Besides their two production facilities in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk, Finland-based Ruukki Corporation will launch a new plant 20 kilometers outside Kyiv that will manufacture roofing products.

  • REQUIEM for DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine
    JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at, DVR 0093696 REQUIEM FOR DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine By Artem Kochnev A Doctoral Thesis submitted at Department of Economics to obtain the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctoral Program “PhD Program in Economics” Supervisor and First Examiner Second Examiner em. Univ-Prof. Dr. Michael Landesmann Dr. habil. rer. soc. oec. Robert Stehrer May 2020 Abstract The thesis investigates short- and long-term effects of war on the economy of Ukraine. Specifically, it discusses the impact of separatists’ control and subsequent adverse trade policies on the real economy, responses of stock market investors to battle events, and the effect of conflict intensity on reform progress and institutional change in Ukraine. The thesis finds that the impact of war on the economy is most pronounced on the real economy of the war-torn regions. Whereas separatists’ control caused a decline in economic activity by at least 38%, the thesis does not find evidence supporting that the impact of conflict intensity on asset prices and institutional change in Ukraine was linear in parameters. The thesis explains the lack of the linear relationship between asset price move- ments and conflict intensity by investors’ inattention caused by information overload during the early stages of the conflict. Regarding the possible relationship between con- flict and institutional change, the thesis argues that it was electoral competition, not the conflict dynamics, that had an impact on the decision-making process of the policymak- ers in Ukraine.
