MarketOur Approach Summary This report is based on the study of the global market for ammonium nitrate explosive. To describe in brief the chemical compound, NH4NO3 is composed of nitric acid and salt of ammonia. In room temperature, ammonium nitrate appears in a white crystalline form and it is also colorless. These crystals are rhombohedra in shape but when they are subjected to temperatures above 32 degrees Celsius, they change to monoclinic crystals. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. The compound is also used as explosives in mining, and also sometimes in improvised explosive devices. It is the main component of ANFO, a popular explosive, which accounts for 80% explosives used in North America. It is used in instant cold packs, as hydrating the salt is an endothermic process.

  • Corporate Governance in Ukraine Passing Go
    Corporate governance in Ukraine Passing go October 2011 Brad Wells | +380 44 391 5577 | [email protected] Corporate Governance in Ukraine October 2011 Overview Today’s market for new equity offerings is downright discriminative, far removed from the heyday of Ukrainian placements when all that was needed was a set checklist (financial reports - check, prospectus - check, road show - check) – and a pulse - check – to come back with suitcases of cash. Investors’ demands today have resulted in fewer businesses surviving the heightened scrutiny and accepting challenging valuations. Those, as in the classic board game Monopoly, that are passing go, succeeding in tapping the market and collecting their $200 (or rather, substantially more) must be fluent in investor- speak and fervent corporate governance crusaders. With this background in mind, we return to the corporate governance scene in Ukraine, which we reviewed pre-crisis in 2008 and 2007. We resurrect our tool for measuring intangible notions like respect for minority shareholders, agency risks and corporate reputation in order to help institutional investors better understand the risks entailed in investing in Ukrainian companies. The field today is still striking in its diversity, with fresh faces setting the gold standard and adopting listing homes in Warsaw and London on one end, and pocket Oligarch-controlled assets and unwitting companies skupka-ed into the market seemingly eons ago on the other. In Part I, we test 114 public Ukrainian companies on 10 criteria that we believe embody effective corporate governance practices to see which ones excel ...and which ones struggle. In Part II, we delve into the world of corporate ownership to answer the question – does ownership matter from a governance perspective? Hint – yes! In Part III, we try to find evidence on whether investors reward quality governance stories with better stock performance..

IntroductIon Jonathan Stern This is the first academic book in any language to be entirely devoted to the pricing of internationally traded gas. The majority of books on gas are notably silent on the issue of pricing.1 Given the sizeable amount of research dealing with international oil prices, this is extremely surprising and would alone be sufficient justification for this work, but there are additional reasons for believing that such a volume is long overdue. First, the growing importance of natural gas in energy balances world- wide, which is partly a function of the expansion of international gas trade. Second the rise to prominence and importance of natural gas issues – and especially pricing issues – in energy and political relations between countries.
