1H 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS – REVIEW
Selected financial data (in USD thousands)
Yuriy Zhuravlev, CEO of Agroton commented:
‘I am pleased to report our consolidated six-month financial results for the first half of 2012. We continued to build upon our cash position while undertaking our growth strategy, and this is demonstrated by the increase in our net cash from operating activities along with the increase in the Company’s total assets compared year-on-year. Also, we are near to closing the matter of certain outstanding trade receivables that were highlighted during our 2011 year-end financial statements. As of 30 June, 2012 USD $23,958,000 were outstanding of such gross trade receivables, while as of today there remains only USD 11,678,000 outstanding. We are working on closing this matter once and for all and we appreciate our investor’s patience while we complete this process. We believe that everything should be finished by end of September, and that our second half performance during 2012 will be strong. For example, our August winter wheat harvest output in 2012 (140,349 tonnes) was 16.5% higher than our 2011 harvest output (120,452 tonnes). We anticipate continued strong results this year in our other crops as we aim toward higher growth and financial performance targets.”
