Magnat Chilled Pork Project | Business Plan

September 2015 1

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Integrated Pork Production

Magnat CJSC has been organized to produce chilled porkmeat through an integrated pig breeding and slaughter operation located in Ivanovo Region in European Russia. The planned capacity of each of four planned pig breeding units is 75,000 head of pigs each year. The Slaughterhouse is designed to process up to 316,880 pigs per year at maximum capacity. We expect to produce 24,396 tons of porkmeat annually in the form of fresh chilled pork sides, boned pork and offal composed of lung, heart and liver organs. A total of twenty months will be required to construct the planned facilities, acquire brood sows, initiate breeding and grow the first group of pigs for slaughter. We expect to realize sales of tradable pigs within twenty-eight months and our first chilled porkmeat in thirty months after beginning construction. We have secured two sites for the pig breeding and slaughterhouse operations. A well qualified design, engineering and construction firm has been selected. We have also chosen reliable suppliers of high quality equipment for both the pig breeding and slaughterhouse operations. After securing financing we are prepared to promptly begin construction and initiate production. With an estimated wholesale value of annual production at full capacity near US$164 million, we plan to sell our porkmeat products in Russia’s principal metropolitan markets of Moscow and St. Petersburg as well as local and regional markets near our production site in Ivanovo Region. Through our preliminary marketing efforts we have entered into agreements with four separate customers in the meat wholesale and distribution sector in Russia. Together these agreements require us to deliver 73,000 tons of fresh chilled pork annually beginning in the year 2017.

Location Advantages

For the Pig Breeding Complex we have chosen 44.0 hectares of agricultural land in the Ilyinsky District of western Ivanovo Region. It will be possible to maintain all required sanitary protection zones at this site. Likewise we have chosen a nearby site comprised of 8.6 hectares of agricultural land for construction of the Slaughterhouse. Both sites are near electric power and gas distribution networks

The area’s economy is diversified across light manufacturing of textiles, agricultural products and tourism. Most of the region’s population lives in urban centers and are experienced in manufacturing, assembly and commercial agriculture processes, providing a ready resource of qualified workers.

We believe the sites present optimal location from which to distribute our products. The area is served by paved roads that connect to major highways leading in all directions. We will have easy access by refrigerated truck to major wholesale and retail food markets in the Moscow and St. Petersburg metropolitan areas as well as local and regional markets.

Market Opportunity

We believe current market conditions present a particularly compelling opportunity for the type of modern pig breeding and pork production operations we have designed. The meat production market in Russia is highly fragmented. None of the top producers have a dominant competitive position and none have significant brand recognition among consumers. The meat processing segment suffers from overproduction of porkmeat products at the lower end of the market. We believe this leaves room for a new competitor that is committed to bringing high quality products to the market and to developing a premium brand. Particularly as the Russian economy returns to economic vigor, we believe consumers will increasingly demand wider choice and higher quality of meat products.

We believe it is timely to bring new porkmeat supply to Russia’s food market. There is currently a shortage of high-quality porkmeat in the market. Even in the large chain stores, Russian consumers often get defrosted imported meat in the guise of fresh meat. What is more, the level of consumption of fresh chilled meat is growing as income levels rise in the wake of the world recession in 2009 to 2010. Consumers are gaining an understanding of the goodness of fresh meat consumption instead of processed meat foods such as sausages and frankfurters. Although meat consumption in Russia is on the rise, it remains below historic highs in the 1990s and per capita meat consumption is below world averages in developed countries. We believe that this gives us latitude to launch our meat production business and reach a position of strength with high quality products before the market reaches maturity. Both regional and local markets are characterized by low penetration rates of high quality porkmeat products. Consumption of meat in the Moscow region is higher than in other regions, approximately 65 kilograms per person per year compared to 61 kilograms average for the country as a whole. Indeed, about 20% of meat consumption volume in the country is accounted for by the greater Moscow metropolitan area. Domestic producers supply a minor portion of the meat consumed in the Moscow area, leaving the region greatly dependent on imports. What is more, saturation of the market for chilled porkmeat in the immediate area around our planned pork production site in Ivanovo Region is estimated at 27%, providing us with significant opportunity to capture market share in the local market.

High Yield Production Plan To supply our meat processing facility with a reliable supply of high quality live weight pigs, we plan to rely on advanced pig growing practices developed in Canada which are noted for pedigree breeding sows and an early weaning term for piglets. The initial stock of breeding sows for our operation will be delivered directly from Canada. Our pig breeding operation also benefits from the use of modern equipment from Denmark for securing and feeding both brood sows and piglets. Each of the four units of our Pig Breeding Complex will be designed to house up to 3,000 productive sows. Following prudent animal husbandry principals, the typical sow can produce as many as 24 to 25 piglets per year. Based on typical litter size and our planned herd size, each unit of the breeding operation could produce approximately 75,000 pigs for slaughter each year. This production level could yield 7,920 tons of live weight pigs annually from each unit of the complex.

Experienced Leadership Our management team led by Mr. Alexey Savraskin has extensive experience in both pig breeding and slaughterhouse operations. Our team members bring to the company expertise in engineering, construction and agricultural production. Specialists of the team have brought to successful realization similar projects in Russia’s Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod Region, Orenburg Region and Vladimir Region.

Public Support Magnat LLC and the Ivanovo Regional government have entered into a working agreement for the development of the Magnat Chilled Pork Project. The shortage of meat in Russia has been recognized by the federal government as a matter of national security. Persistent deficit of animal breeding against the background of structural shortcoming of the sector and threatening demographic changes in rural territory has led policy makers in Russia to raise animal breeding development to a level of national safety. Continued low meat production at current low levels and the risk of disruption in the food supply is deemed a threat to national security. Thus government agencies have been providing support for agricultural projects within the bounds of the national program Development of Agribusiness Industry. Beginning in 2006, the Russian government has made pork production a national priority. Over US$8 billion was invested into the industry through the National Priority Project on Agricultural Sector Development in the years 2006 through 2007 and the State Program of Agricultural Development in the

years 2008 through 2014. Approximately 750 swine-breeding facilities are either put into operation or reconstructed. In 2010, Russia adopted a new Food Safety Doctrine, calling for 85% self-sufficiency in total meat and poultry by 2020. The policy calls for innovation in domestic meat production, development of the retail market for food, modernization of materials and technology, and support of small agricultural businesses. Consequently, domestic pork production has been increasing in Russia. Nonetheless, pork production in the country still falls short of levels achieved in the early 1990s. What is more Russia has trailed Europe and North America in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of pork production operations.

Revenue and Earnings Potential While we expect to record sales as early as the first year of the project plan through our porkmeat trading operation and in the second year from sales of our own chilled pork. The pig breeding and slaughterhouse operations are estimated to begin generating positive cash flow beginning in the third year of the project. In Year 4, the first full year of operation after the construction and commissioning of our facilities and equipment, we estimate a pretax profit of US$77.69 million on US$ 227.74 million in total sales of pork meat products. We expect profit margins to trend higher over time and that profits will be driven principally by higher sales volumes as we penetrate new markets and add new customer relationships. We expect sales of porkmeat products to ramp to US$437.97 million in Year 8 of the projection period, providing US$168.19 million in pretax income through a gross margin of 38.40%.

Project Economics We have evaluated our operations on a stand alone basis using live weight and tradable pig prices in the open market. We estimate the four planned units in our Pig Breeding Complex can generate sufficient cash flows to result in an internal rate of return near 29.5% for that portion the required investment to completed the facility. The planned Slaughterhouse operation is estimated to have an internal rate of return of 56.28%. We estimate that the present value of respective future cash flows discounted at a rate of 8%.

Financing Requirement We estimate the required funding to implement the Magnat Chilled Pork Project is US$186.7 million. The largest element of our budget is related to the construction of our Pig Breeding and Slaughterhouse facilities, which is expected to require US$152.9 million or 81.9% of the the budget. Building and assembly work is expected to require approximately US$85.5 million or 45.81% of the total budget. The purchase and installation of equipment will require US$48.3 million or 25.9% of the budget. Construction cost estimates of the four units that comprise the Pig Breeding Complex reflect an assumed 15% discount compared to estimates of a single unit facility. The founder of Magnat have invested more than US$ 1.5 million in the project in the form of the project sites and cash for covering initial costs and for covering costs for designing works. The first site composed of 44.0 hectares has been purchased from Illyinski District and ownership documentation is available. The second site composed of 8.6 hectares and currently owned by Illyinski District has been reserved. One of largest banks in Russia is willing to finance up to 80% of the project budget, it is about US$130.7 million, term sheet from the bank is available. The balance of the required capital is about US$53.0 - US$56.0 million could be sourced from a joint venture partners we look for.

In according to Term Sheet from the bank we could execute this project by stand alone business Units (subprojects). A budget of the first one is about US$48-US$49 million. For its construction US$19.0- US$20 million is required from potential equity partner.

II. MEAT PRODUCTION INDUSTRY IN RUSSIA Beginning in the early 1990s through 2001, meat production in Russia was in steady decline. A tepid recovery begain in 2002, but by 2007 meat production still had not recovered to levels observed in 1992. In 1992, 9.3 million tons of meat of all kinds were produced in Russia, whereas in 2007 a total of 5.7 million of tons were produced. In 1992, Russia was in fourth place in the world in terms of the absolute volume of meat production, leaving Russia inferior only to China, the United States and Brazil. By 2008, Russia had slipped to eighth place among other meat producing countries in the world. The fate of Russia meat production is also told in the population of livestock. Over the past nineteen years the number of farm animals has deeply reduced. From 1995 to 2014 the number of cattle declined from 52.2 million to 21.4 million animals. The pig population eroded from 32.5 million in 1995 to 19.6 million head in 2014. The population of sheep and goats was reduced from 51.4 million in 1995 to 20.9 million head in 2014. The Russian Federation’s Ministry of Agriculture has developed a “Strategy for the Development of the Food and Processing Industry through 2020.” It is aimed at increasing production output; modernizing and expanding capacities; enhancing competitive recovery; and creating conditions for greater import substitution; and boosting Russia’s export potential. To this end, a total of 778 billion rubles will be invested from 2013 to 2020. It is expected that by 2020 investment will grow by 1.2 times over the level in 2013 with the goal of increasing food production by 1.3 times over the 2013 by the year 2020.

The commercial meat production segment has been under pressure in recent years, driving a considerable number of livestock breeders into poor financial condition. There have been a number of bankruptcies. This has resulted in an underdevelopment of market infrastructure, a decrease in stock selection and breeding. Private farms, which produce over half of the meat and poultry in Russia, have also declined. An irregular flow of investment into the sector is one of principal factors contributing to the

reduction of production of meat animal breeding in the commercial segment. Furthermore, there has been a decrease in the rural population, as working age people move to urban areas for better jobs. If the meat production of agricultural enterprises remains unchanged over the next ten years, total meat production is not expected to keep pace with population increases. Meat production could fall down. Russia domestic production may meet up to 70% of the country’s meat and poultry requirement and be forced to import the balance. Persistent deficit of animal breeding against the background of structural shortcoming of the sector and threatening demographic changes in rural territory has led policy makers in Russia to raise animal breeding development to a level of national safety. Continued low meat and poultry production at current low levels and the risk of disruption in the food supply is deemed a threat to national security.

Pork Production The National Union of Swine Breeders based in Moscow, Russia reports that pork production declined dramatically through the 1990s and in the early years after the turn of the century. In 1992, Russia produced 2,984 thousand tons of pork by slauther weight. By 2005, pork production had declined to 1,520 thousand tons. This was due in part to inefficiencies in commercial pork operations. In past years Russia trailed Europe and North America in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of pork production techniques. We believe this presents a particularly compelling opportunity for the type of modern pig breeding and pork production operations we have designed.

Beginning in 2006, the Russian government has made pork production a national priority. Over US$8 billion was invested into the industry through the National Priority Project on Agricultural Sector Development in the year 2006 through 2007 and the State Program of Agricultural Development in the year 2008 through 2014. Approximately 750 swine-breeding facilities were either put into operation or reconstructed. Consequently, domestic pork production has been increasing in Russia. Nonetheless, pork production in the country still falls short of levels achieved in the early 1990s. In 2013, according to preliminary estimates by Rosstat, the Russia pork market grew by 5% and reached a volume of 2.8 million tons. This was a result of increasing of domestic production compared to the prior year.

Commerical production represented 60% of total pork production in 1992, but by 2005, that share had declined to 28%. In stark contrast, so-called “farm yard” production of pork remained flat during from 1992 to 2005 at 1,100 thousand tons. Thus as a share of total pork production, the market share of individual farms increased from 40% in 1992 to 72% in 2005. However, since 2005, the share of pork production from private farms has fallen both in total volume and as a percentage of the total market. By 2014, private farms produced 833 thousand tons or approximately 30% of total production in that year. The decline in pork production by private farming units must be replaced by so-called industrial or commercial pork producers. The renaissance of commercial pork production in Russia has come on the heals of improved animal husbandry practices as well as the adoption of pork breeds with excellent genetics. The National Union of Swine Breeders reports that in 2005 only 5% of commercial pork producers were using breeds with enchanced genetics. Only 9% were using modern animal husbandry practices. The 86% balance of commercial producers were still using outdated farming and legacy pig breeds. By 2014, the situation

reversed. As much as 80% of commercial pork producers were using modern practices and enhanced breeds. As a consequence of these changes, the Russian pork production sector has achieved results closer to averages achieved in Europe and North America.

Pork Sector Structure The pork production market in Russia is highly fragmented. In 2014, the fifteen largest commercial pork producers in Russia provided only 44% of total production by live weight. The 56% balance of total production was provided by hundreds of commercial and private farm producers. Market consolidation is expected in coming years. The National Union of Swine Breeders predict that the top fifteen producers will represent 65% of the total market.

In 2014, approximately 19.6 million pigs were sent to slaughter and subsequent dressing into various porkmeat cuts. Approximately 5 million or 20% of these pigs were slaughtered at private farms in essentially ‘back yard’ conditions. About 12.9 million or 68% of these pigs were slaughtered at plants lacking in modern sanitary or veterinary practices and without deep dressing capacity. Included in this group were about 3.82 million pigs or 20% of the total that were handled at outdated plants that cannot be modernized. Only about 2.3 million or 12% of pigs sent to slaughter in 2014, were handled at plants using modern sanitary and veterinary practices. A significant difference in slaughter practices today compard to the past is that slaughterhouses were built for proprietary use by meat processing plants. Of course, today these slaughterhouses and meat processing plants are physically outdated. In fact, only 6%-8% of the meat processing plants in Russia have slaughterhouses that can produce the quality products meeting European standards. To revive them in the same form is economically unreasonable. That is why today the main aim is creating of a whole sector which is at the intersection of agriculture, including animal breeding and meat processing in the form of slaughter productions and slaughtering of livestock.

Pork Imports According to data of Federal Customs Service of Russia, in 2014 imports of fresh and frozen pork meat in Russia (excluding poultry, liveweight, offals and pork fat ) were 379.0 (42.0% less in compare with previous year) thousands tons in spite of quotas and high tariffs imposed by Russian authorities. This compares to 2013, when imported pork meat totaled 653.0 thousands tons inslauther weight. The reduction of import was caused by a number of restrictions were imposed by Rosselkhoznadzor on import of pork as from particular enterprises as from countries, whose production doesn't meet Russian veterinary and sanitary standards. So, for example, one of key suppliers of pork to Russia were USA (11,25% of the total amount of import). Now import of pork from this country got under a ban of

September 2015 11

Rosselkhoznadzor and, now the share of the USA in the total amount of import of pork to Russia made only 0,3%. Imports of the highest quality meats to the Moscow market originate principally in Germany and imports to St. Petersburg arrive from Lithuania and Finland. Meats in lower quality categories are imported principally from Belarus and Ukraine. Nowday a share of import of meat from Ukraine is declined up to zero Prices of prime meat products, even with custom duty, are lower than prices of domestically produced meat. Russia is among countries with the highest growth in food inflation in Europe. Prices of meat and meat foods in Russia for the period 2007 to 2014 grew by 30.0%, while in the European Union meat prices increased only 5.1%. Imports of porkmeat has increased over the past six years from 585,000 tons in 2006 to 802,000 tons in 2012. The National Union of Swine Breeders estimates porkmeat imports could decline to approximately 439,000 tons by 2020 as domestic production increases. Domestic production oflive weight pork was measured at 2.55 million tons in 2013 and at 2.8 million tons in 2014. The National Union of Swine Breeders would like to increase this amount up to 3.2 million tons by 2020. Expiration date of fresh chilled meat is three days on meat that has been packed without vacuum packing. The expiration date of well-packaged fresh meat can be as long as twenty-one days. Therefore only a small portion of imported pork is a chilled meat. More than 90% of imported pork is frozen at its origination point. Russia still strongly depends on import of pork from one side and at the same time it makes pork production in Russia very attractive for investors.

Chart VI: Pork Imports

Customs Regulation of Meat Imports Russian government has been trying to create conditions to increase domestic meat production. Restrictions on the importation of meat into the country have been imposed since 2003. For example, in 2013 quotas on import of pork in Russia were about 430,000 tons, a reduced level from 515,000 tons in 2005. The main countries importing pork to Russia are Brazil, Denmark, USA, Germany, Lithuania and Finland. Main importers of meat are wholesale trading companies. In recent years real imports have exceeded the quotas. Russia joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in September 2012. That membership is expected to have an impact on Russia’s pork industry policies. Nonetheless, after joining the WTO, Russia’s import quotas are unchanged. However, customs duties on imports within the quota have been reduced to zero from 15%. Duties on imports over the quota have been reduced from 75% to 65%. The duty on live pigs for slaughter, which are imported to Russia on an out-of-quota basis, is reduced to 5% after joining the WTO from 40% previously. The duty on pork by-products, which is also an out-of-quota category, has been reduced to 15% from 25%. However, pork derivatives such as fat-back, by-products and live pigs are not included in the quota basis. These items have been protected from customs duties since 2010. Now after joining the WTO duties on pork derivatives are returned to 2006 levels. The reduction in import controls after Russia joining the WTO is expected to have a particular impact on the importation of live pigs into Russia. However, the situation is opposite. By estimates of the Federal Customs Service 80 thousand tons of pork in live weight was imported in Russia by the end of 2009. This indicator was 4 thousand only b the end of 2013 being reduced annually, to 53 thousand tons in 2010, to 47 thousand tons in 2011 and to 17 thousand tons in 2012. In 2013 and 2014 such amount was near zero. Probably such situation could be explained by barriers established by Rosselkhoznadzor and by situation connected with crisis in Ukraine.

Pork Production and Consumption in the Central Federal District and Ivanovo Region The most populous of the eight federal districts in the Russian Federation, the Central Federal District (CFD) has at its center the metropolitan area of Moscow. Over 80% of the population in the Central Federal District resides in urban areas. Along with the Ivanovo District where we propose to locate our operations, we expect the CFD to be a principal market for our chilled pork products. The CFD represents over one-third of national retail sales of meat and is our principal geographic market. The hog population in the CFD grew in the period between 2007 and 2011, but experienced a 15% decline in 2012 to 5.1 million head. But in 2013 and 2014 we could see a 14.8% growth again. Growth patterns differed in neighboring Invanovo Region where hog populations decreased in 2008 by as much as one-third. The decline continued through 2011. However, in 2012 the situation reversed and the hog population increased by 15% as in the CFD, but in 2013 and 2014 we could see a reduction of hog population by 11.8% to 15.7 thousand heads.

Pork production in carcass weight in the CFD grew at a relatively rapid pace in the period beginning 2007 and ending 2014. Contributing to the growth was a number of large commercial pig operations were commissioned in 2009 and 2013. According to preliminary estimates by Rosstat, in 2013 and 2014 pork meat production grew by 30% and output exceeded 860.0 thousand tons. In 2013 and 2014, production of fresh pork in the CFD increased by 29%, reaching 489,200 tons. Fresh pork production in the Ivanovo Region began developing in 2010, reaching 523,400 tons in 2014. Historically, frozen pork has been produced in smaller volumes than fresh pork. However, beginning in 2011, production of frozen pork has been growing and has increased almost seven-fold over the last five years. In 2014, production of frozen pork in CFD reached 60.0 thousand tons, it is 7%-8% of total amount of frozen pork produced in the CFD.

The majority of pork produced in the Ivanovo Region, where we intend to locate our facilities, comes from individual farms. That said, the share of individual farms as a percentage of total production is declining. This is also the general trend in the CFD. Rosstat estimates 24% of pork production in the Ivanovo Region is from agriculture organizations or commercial farms. The share of individual farms in the total production of pork in live weight is decreasing, while the share of agricultural organizations is increasing. In 2014, the share of individual farms was 65%, which was 300 basis points less than in 2012 and the share of agricultural organizations grew during this year by 300 basis points to 26%.

III. PROJECT LOCATION

Ilyinsky District, Ivanovo Region We propose to locate our pork operations in the Ilyinsky District of the Ivanovo Region. Ivanovo is a federal subject of Russia with a population near 1.1 million people, most of whom live in urban centers. It is positioned in the central part of European Russia. The famed Volga River flows through the north. The most developed segment of the Ivanovo economy is textiles, including clothing and shoes. Textile business dates backs three centuries and today the region produces nearly half of Russia’s domestic apparel and shoes and one-third of the country’s cotton. At least half of the region’s industrial workers are occupied in the production of clothes and shoes. Ivanovo City is known as the “City of Printed Cotton” and is sometimes referred to as the Russian Manchester. The Ivanovo economy has diversified into manufacturing of durable goods, including mobile cranes, looms, automotive parts and machine tools. Woodworking, pulp and paper production has also become important and benefit from heavy forestation in the area. The food industry is also important. Sausage, canned meats, milk, mayonnaise, flour, cereal and pasta are among the most significant food products. Ivanovo has a relatively well developed travel industry, which capitalizes on the moderate climate with warm summers and slightly frosty winters. The old artistic trades of lacquer work and miniature painting are still practiced and benefit from health trade with tourists. The communities of Ivanovo City and Kineshma are the two principal transportation hubs in the area. The main highways are the M7 Volga and the A113 Kostrama. There are over 500 kilometers of railways in Ivanovo. The Volga River provides connection to inter-regional and international shipping. There is freight port in Kineshma and five other river ports. Ilyinsky District is an administrative center of Ivanovo Region at its western-most edge. About one-third of the 9,700 population lives in the urban center. It is positioned approximately 200 kilometers from Moscow and 700 kilometers from St. Petersburg.

Advantages of Project Site Implementation of our project requires purchasing a site for the construction of pig-breeding complex and the Slaughterhouse. We have identified two parcels of land appropriate for our planned operations in the Ilyinsky District which can be connected to electric power and gas distribution systems. It would also be possible to maintain all required sanitary protection zones. For the Pig Breeding Complex we have acquired 44 hectares of agriculture land from the local government. Likewise we have reserved a nearby site comprised of 8.6 hectares of agricultural land for construction of the Slaughterhouse. The two sites provide the required distance between breeding and slaughterhouse operations and are linked by a well-maintained paved road. We believe the sites present optimal locations for our pork production business. The locations provide easy access to local and regional markets, including the Moscow region. Saturation of the market for chilled porkmeat in these areas is estimated at 27%, providing us with significant opportunity to capture market share. We have already purchased the 44-hectare parcel. We continue to discuss the remaining 8.6-hectare site with its current owner, the administration of Illyinsky District.

IV. MARKETS AND DEMAND The market in Russia for fresh chilled pork is estimated at US$15.5 billion to US$18. billion annually. Russia is experiencing an acute shortage of domestically produced porkmeat, which is estimated today as 1.6 million tons of fresh chilled pork per year. The value of the shortage is estimated at US$6.6 billion to US$7.2 billion each year. During recent years the growth in demand for meat products exceed growth in domestic production. As a consequence there has been an increase in the share of imports for home consumption. This deficit is partly covered with imports, the share of which usually was about 40% according to official data. By official sources share of imports of porkmeat has been reduced on 42% in 2014. But according to unofficial sources it is more than 50% of all meat consumption in Russia was imported including porkmeat as in previous years. Current level of pork consumption in Russia is about 3.3 - 3.4 million tons per year. Taking into account a normal level of meat consumption in Russia potential Russian meat market capacity 11.0 million tons per year, 4.4 million of which is pork meat. Russian current level of pork production is about 2.8 million tons in according to official information sources. About 833 thousands ton of this amount was produced by private farmers, quantity of which is decreased constantly. Thus, this confirms the current shortage of pork in Russia is 1.6 million tons according official data. According to unofficial information sources real capacity of domestic production in Russia is about 1.5 million tons per year. This data are confirmed by data from official information sources which provide us with information about produced pig livestock in Russia. Thus, in 2014 by all farmers were produced 19,6 million hogs in Russia, 4 million from this amount were produced by individual and small private farms. This total amount is correspond to 1.5 million tons pork meat in a slaughter weight. This means Russia has been continuing to import more than half all consumed pork meat. Taking into account this information Chart IV will looks another way.

This information indicates the enormous potential of market of fresh chilled pork meat by qualified, commercial producers. 2010 Russia adopted a new Food Safety Doctrine, calling for 85% self-sufficiency in total meat and poultry by 2020. The policy calls for innovation in domestic meat production, development of the retail market for food, modernization of materials and technology, and support of small agricultural businesses. Imported raw meat has often been of poor quality and handled under inadequate sanitary and hygienic properties. Russia has banned feed made of genetically modified organisms but has had little control over monitoring the use of such feed. Historically there has been limited veterinary supervision of widely- spread diseases among foreign animals with long latency periods, such as encephalopathy of cattle (mad cow disease). Under these conditions meat imports had lead to unpredictable consequences. In recent years, Russia has made a serious effort to monitor and restrict the importation of low quality or potentially harmful meat products. For example, in August 2010, Russia’s food safety watchdog, the Veterinary and Phyto-Sanitary Surveillance Service or Rosselkhoznadzor, imposed restrictions on meat imports from seven plants in the U.S., Brazil, Argentina and Poland, citing safety concerns. The same agency put temporary restrictions on imports of Swiss cattle as the result of a certain virus in Switzerland. The agency also imposed restrictions on Dutch poultry as the result of an outbreak of avian influenza. In January 2013, Rosselkhoznadzor imposed temporary restrictions on chilled beef, pork and poultry meat products from Germany due to the lack of appropriate safety assurance system. In the same month, Rosselkhoznadzor sent warning letters to regulators in the U.S. and Canada detailing tougher measures on ractopamine that will require certification that exports to Russia are free of the feed additive. In 2014 according to official information sources imports of pork meat has been reduced on 42% but at the same time Russian level consumption does not changed. A reduction of import of pork meat from the USA, Ukraine and the European Union was replaced with import from other countries and with so-called "gray" or semi-legal import.

Meat Consumption in Russia Despite considerable volumes of meat imports, the average meat consumption in Russia still remains at low levels. In the early 1990s consumption of all types of meat was 75 kilograms per person, whereas in 2003 the amount had declined to 44 kilograms per person. In the years since, there has been a recovery to 48 kilograms in 2005 and then to 61 kilograms meat consumption per person in 2010. In 2014 the level of meat consumption in Russia reached 65-67 kilograms per person. This level of meat consumption puts the country near the rank of less-developed countries with protein deficit for majority of population groups. To restore protein consumption in Russia to the level during the late 1980s and early 1990s, annual consumption of meat must be increased by 1.5 million tons from the current 10.4 million tons per year to 11.9 million tons per year. To achieve recommended standard of full protein consumption of 90 kilograms of meat and meat products per person per year, annual consumption of meat in Russia must be increase by 2.92 million tons to 13.32 million tons per person per year. It is noteworthy that consumers have shifted the types of meat consumed away from beef to greater amounts of poultry and pork. In 1990 approximatey 43% of meat consumed in Russia was beef. That portion had declined to 36% by 2000 and was estimated at 19% in 2014. Poultry consumption increased from 18% of total meat consumed in 1990 to and estimated 39% in 2014. Pork consumption has a percentage of total meat consumed has remained fairly consistent at 35% to 36% of total meat consumed in Russia. The National Union of Pork Breeders estimates that meat consumption in Russia will increase over the next five years to approximately 12.0 million tons per year in 2020. This would represent per capita meat consumption of 80.8 kilograms per person. Pork is expected to represent as much as 40% of the meat served on Russian plates while beef is expected to shrink to 17% of meat servings. According to Rosstat,

September 2015 22

per capita pork consumption in Russia increased by 4.5 kilograms from 18.0 kilograms in 2007 to 22.5 kilograms in 2014. Consumption of meat in Moscow region is higher than in other regions, approximately 70 kilograms per person per year compared to 65-67 kilograms average for the country as a whole. About 20% of meat consumption volume in the country is accounted for by the greater Moscow metropolitan area. Domestic producers supply a minor portion of the meat consumed in the Moscow area, leaving the region is greatly dependent on import. Policy makers have made an effort to weaken this food dependence, stimulate development of capital for agricultural companies. However, the majority of this effort has been to support distribution channels rather than production. Domestic delivery of meat to the capital has grown 2.3 times for last five years due to these policy and investment efforts. Nonetheless, domestic producers are still only meeting 61% of the demand for meat in the Moscow market.

Market Volume of Chilled Pork The value of the pork market in Russia is estimated from US$15.5 billion to US$18.0 billion. Total market volume of meat in 2014 was estimated at 10.6 million tons, 36% of which is porkmeat, it is approximately 3.4-3.5 million tons. In that year 2.8 million tons of porkmeat was produced in Russia and about 635 thousands tons including liveweght, offals and pork fat were imported. Approximately 833.0 thousands tons from total amount porkmeat produced in Russia were from from private farms, which produce most part of pork meat for themselves and sell their surplus basically through private not organized outlets. Quantity of pork produced on private farms is constantly decreasing. A share of 25%-30% of chilled and frozen pork meat was produced by commercial farms. Producers of products of deep meat processing (sausages, HoReCa products, canned meat and etc.) form about 30%-40% of total Russian demand for pork meat. This information indicates the enormous potential of market of fresh chilled pork meat by qualified, commercial producers. During the five years ending 2014 the market for pork has grown almost by 20%-25%. According to research by the Institute of Agricultural Marketing, pork market growth averaged 3%-4% through 2014. The recent economic crisis has changed the dynamics of consumption. However, level of fresh meat shortage at the market in Russia remained almost unchanged. Despite global financial crisis, it is expected that sales growth will continue for another few years. It is possible to state that the Moscow market of fresh pork will experience a deficit if there is a growth in demand for porkmeat products. The National Union of Swine Breeders hopes that domestic production of pork meat will supply an increasing portion of total domestic demand for pork products over the next decare. Imports of pork products are expected to decline slowly but steadily over this period from a total of 379,000 tons in 2014 to 287,000 tons in 2020. Domestic production is expected to increase from 2.8 million tons in 2014 to an estimated 3.3 million tons in 2020. Indeed, the group has predicted that Russia will be able to export pork products before the end of the current decade. According to data collected by Rosstat, in 2014 the Central Federal District (CFD), our principal target market, accounted for approximately 35% of the national volume of meat consumption with Moscow

representing approximately two-thirds of CFD consumption. In 2014, meat purchases in the CFD grew by 5% compared to the prior year. Pork represented approximately 38% of meat consumed in the CFD. Pork consumption is second to poultry as the preferred meat. While growth in meat purchases has slowed in recent years, during the past couple of years, the growth rate of meat retail sales in the Ivanovo Region, our second largest target market, has exceed growth rates in the CFD, reaching 12% annual growth in 2014. An analysis of retail sales in the CFD by quarters reveals clear seasonal fluctuation . Heaviest sales fall in the second quarter ending in June. The least sales are typically in the third quarter ending September. The fourth quarter ending in December represents the second best market period. However, in the Ivanovo Region, where we plan to locate our production facilities, maximum retails sales are recorded in the third quarter.

V. COMPETITION The meat production market in Russia is highly fragmented. The top five producers represent no more than one quarter of the total national market. The meat processing segment suffers from overproduction at the lower end of the market. We believe this leaves room for a new competitor that is committed to bringing high quality products to the market and to developing premium brands. Particularly as the market returns to economic health, we believe consumers will increasingly demand wider choice and higher quality of meat products. We believe other pig breeding and pork production operations in the Central Federal District (CFD) and Ivanovo Region well represent our most significant competition. The top ten producers (including deep meat processing: sausages, sausages, canned food etc.) in the CFD and Ivanavo Region represent 74% and 87% of total production in each region, respectively . The top ten producers along with regional market share are the following: Ivanovo Region Central Federal District

1. Sovhoz Teplichnyiy JSC 32.0% Pork Complex Korocha JSC 37.2% 2. Rodnikovsky Engineering Plant JSC 10.0% Myasokombinat Bobrovsky Ltd. 10.6% 3.

A situation on the market of chilled pork meat is different. The list of largest producers of chilled pork meat with its share of the market is following:

1. Miratorg 11,4% 2. ООО «GC AGRO-BELOGORIE» 5,6% 3. GC «GC CHERKIZOVO» 5,5% 4. ООО «KoPITANIYA» 3,0% 5. GC «Rusagro» 2,7% 6. ООО «PRODO Menegement» 2,6% 7. ZAO «Agrarnaya Gruppa» 2,5% 8. GK «KOMOS GROUP» 1,9% 9. ZAO «EKSIMA» 1,9% 10. ООО «Kamskiy Becon» 1,7% 11. Other producers 22,4%

A fragmentation of the market of high quality chilled pork is higher than of the market of products of deep processing. Only 6%-8% of Russian producers have equipment for high quality chilled pork production. In Russia none of the pork producers can claim significant name or brand recognition among consumers. A survey made by the Institute of Agricultural Marketing revealed that over 80% of consumers could not name at even one pork producer. The producer with the greatest name recognition, Klinskiy MyasoPtitsa Combine Co. Ltd. was known by only 6.2% of survey respondents. The largest producer of chilled pork meat Miratorg was known by only 3%-5% of survey respondents. Lack of brand awareness is attributed to its standing as a product of little importance to consumers. Pork producers compete principally on the basis of quality and price. Competitors depend upon their length of presence in the market, product lines and the entrenchment of their distribution relationships. The meat processing plant Welcome Trading House has the product line with the widest variety. The plant produces over sixty kinds of pork products. The entrance of new competitors to the Russia market is typically met with limited reaction by incumbents. The relatively small total volume of pork production and the deficit relative to porkmeat demand leave room for new competitors without significantly impacting competitive alignment.

Price Competition Since between 65% and 70% of the cost of meat production is related to feed, all meat producers highly sensitive to the price of feed. Unfortunately, none of the pork producers have pricing power in the Russian market. Selling prices for top quality pork sides at chain store such as Auchan and Crossroads is approximately 178-185 rubles (US$2.7- US$2.85) per kilogram. The selling price of the second category pork is 130-150 rubles (US$2.0- US$2.3) per kilogram. The average price for boning products in the same trading networks is 272 rubles (US$4.18) per kilogram. Retail prices for pork are increasing. One of the principal factors in the consumer market is growth of real income in Russia. According to provisional data of Rosstat (Federal Service of State Statistics) in 2013, real income grew by 30% compared to real income in 2009.

Regional Price Competition In the Central Federal District (CFD) retail prices for pork, except for boneless meat, grew in 2008 and 2009 by 16% and 13%, respectively. In 2010, the price decreased slightly by 4% both in the CFD and on a national scale. Growth continued in 2011 and accelerated in 2012-2013, reaching 231 rubles (US$3.55) per kilogram. In 2014 retail prices for pork except for boneless meat rose dramatically up to 300 rubles (US$4.61) per kilogram. Such growth was caused by political situation between US and Russia. As compared with the CFD, all pork products except boneless meat in Ivanovo Region were generally cheaper. The largest difference was 10% recorded in 2010. The discrepancy narrowed in 2012 to 8.8% and in 2014 to 6.9%. In the last couple of years the rate of price increases has been different in Ivanovo than in the CFD. In 2012, the price growth rate in Ivanovo Region was 5% while only 4% in the CFD. However, in 2014 the Ivanovo price growth rate was lower at 5% compared to 6% increase in the CFD Boneless pork was also cheaper in the Ivanovo Region during the five year period ending 2013. In 2014, retail prices for boneless pork grew 6% over the prior year, reaching 345 rubles (US$5.3) per kilogram. The Ivanovo price was 10.6% less than in CFD. This compares to a 12.6% difference in the previous year. As with bone-in product prices there was been a difference in growth rates between the two regions. In 2011, the rate of growth was higher than in Ivanovo Region at 6% compared to a growth rate of 3% in the CFD, while in 2014 Ivanovo grew at a slower pace of 5% compared to 6% price growth in the CFD.

Sales Channels There are a half dozen significant pork meat wholesalers in Ivanovo region market, but two command the majority of the market. The largest is Rustorg Ltd., which we estimate owns 58% market share. The second largest wholesaler is HOLOD Ltd. with 32% market share. Isida Ltd., Klondayk Plus Ltd. and Iv Obl Mayaso Product Ltd. together represent 10% of the market. Porkmeat along with all other meat products are distributed to consumers through trade networks. Such networks in Russia are divided into two caterories: 1) retail chains selling pork sides and 2) retail chains selling boned pork products. Examples of those selling pork sides include France’s Groupo Auchan, SA and OAO Magnit. X5 Retail Group NV and Metro Group of Germany are examples of sellers of boned pork products. Chains are the highest cost segment of the marketing channel, requiring logistics expenditures and a large number of staff for merchandizing, customer services and management. These food retailers are among the most modern retail food chains. While they are significant in size in terms of total revenue, such high-end chains represent only a small portion of the Russian food and grocery market. X5 and Magnit are the two largest food chains in Russia with US$15.4 billion and US$11.4 billion in sales, respectively, in 2014. Auchan and Metro are third and fourth in Russia by sales of US$7 billion and US$5.4 billion in 2014, respectively. The fifth largest food retailer is OAO Dixy. These five companies represent just 13% of Russia’s food retailing market. X5 has been the country’s largest food retailer since 2006 when its predecessor Perekriostok acquired Pyaterochka Holding and then the Karusel chain in 2008 and discount network Kopeyka in 2010. Metro Group has had a presence in Russia since 2001, extending its base to over 100 large stores by the end of 2010. The years 2012 - 2014 was characterized by a considerable expansion of selling space in retail food chains. Traditional retail and markets were only able to preserve their positions in small populated centers where chains find it unprofitable to open supermarket sized facilities. The development of retail chains leads to a predominance of low prices over quality. In 2012 - 2014, the retail markup was as much as 60%. Accordingly, companies working with federal chains experienced a decline in profitability. Producers were impaced by an increase in costs associated with promoting meat products through organized retail chains and by the increase in discounts expected by large retail chains from a range of 5% to 10% to a range of 20% to 25%.

Many large meat producers such as Miratorg are developing their own retail networks. A retail channel promotes greater brand value characterized by unique products, freshness, quality and low prices. Company stores allow producers greater freedom in selecting assortment, fixing prices and promoting their products and give them the possibility to study consumer behavior. Company stores, along with trade pavilions and itinerant trade, have become a successful marketing channel for Byelorussian producers who are aggressively capturing the Russian market. As federal networks have strengthened their positions on regional markets, their policy toward regional producers has also changed. Chains prefer vendors that offer more favorable terms to the detriment of local producers. For example, the national chain Auchan requires that the share of any one local vendor cannot exceed 20% regardless of the regional market position of the vendor.

Chart XVII: Consumer Preferences for Meat Packaging

Characteristics of Consumers According to a research of the Institute of Agricultural Marketing, 93% of residents of Moscow region buy pork. We believe this major metropolitan area is our principal market. The most active consumers of pork are those in the age range of 30 years to 50 years of age with incomes more than 30,000 rubles. Women are typically the buyers of chilled pork but men are the largest consumers. Surveys have determined that chilled pork is the preferred type of pork. As can be expected the higher the income the higher is the preference for chilled pork. At least half of consumers prefer porkmeat without bones. We believe the most promising consumer group is composed of women in the 30 years to 50 years age group with an income of more than 36,000 rubles. In the metropolitan areas there is a fast tempo of life and a constant shortage of time. This leads consumers to seek products that will allow them to optimize their budget and time. Thus they patronize modern retail stores such as chain stores. They are also concerned for their health and the health of their families. When choosing products they are more likely to trust domestic producers as a source for more natural and chemically free food products.

Competition from Imports We believe import regulations are a critical factor in the pork production market. Regulatory authorities (Rosselkhoznadzor) in Russia have had a tendency to toughen controls of imports in various categories of goods in order to protect domestic production. We believe customs regulation is a risk for importers and therefore a benefit to new entrants to Russia’s domestic meat industry like us. Historically imports have not eliminated meat shortages in Russia. In fact, imports have frequently meant putting low quality products onto store shelves. Russian consumers have often been deceived by defrosted imported meat sold as fresh chilled meat. Even very large, well-known chain stores engage in this practice and realize profits by selling low priced inports at prices reserved for premium products. Our project is designed to yield a product with quality on par with that of Western producers. Yet costs of our end products will be significantly lower than prices on imported products. This will allow to us to establish a competitive price against imported porkmeat.

Central Federal District Pork Production Projects Hog raising remains an attractive sector for large companies. Nonetheless, in the spring of 2012, the OJSC Cherkizovo Group announced its intention to temporarily suspend investment into new projects in the pork segment in connection with Russia’s joining of World Trade Organization (WTO). Cherkizovo has

Page 39: MAGNAT CHILLED PORK PROJECT - EURO CAPITAL Business Plan Sept_2015KL… · Chart XIV: Wholesales Pork Selling Prices in Russia - 2008-2014 ..... 28 Chart XV: Retail Pork Prices in

September 2015 32

seven large hog units, whose aggregate ouput is 115,000 tons of pork. Cherkizovo Group has other projects that are nearing implementation stage. Thus by 2014 its total capacity is estimated to have reached 153,000 tons per year. In 2012, APK AGROECO LLC commissioned three modern commercial hog units in Pavlovsky, Novokhopersky and Kalacheyevsky districts in Voronezh Region. The current total livestock population is 130,000 heads. The APK AGROECO project is one of the largest in the region and was included in the social and economic development program scheduled for 2012 to 2016. It is expected that in the spring of 2013, the second phase of the project will be launched to complete construction of two more hog units and a feed factory. Plans include expanding the annual designed capacity of already operating units to 42,000 tons. OJSC Rosselkhozbank has opened a credit line with a limit of over 8 billion rubles for Miratorg Holding for the construction of ten hog units in Kursk Region. The ten units are estimated to have an aggregate annual output of 66,000 tons of meat. Total project cost is estimated at 11 billion rubles. .Such an increase of capacity is needed for fully satisfying the holding’s own production in Belgorod Region. After these units are commissioned, Miratorg’s Russian market share is expected to increase from 12% to 15%. As an Asian Swine Flu preventative measure, Miratorg plans a veterinary and sanitary recycling plan, producing meat and bone meal with an annual capacity of 9,700 tons and with a possibility of increasing it to 22,500 tons. The capacity of the processing plant will be 42,000 tons a year with a possibility to increase it to 98,000 tons. These facilities are expected to be commissioned in 2015-2016. Miratorg supplies meat both to own chains and to large shopping centers. The company is following a strategy of earning profit through high turnover speed in its production facilities. In August 2012, Rusagro has announced its plans for building a hog unit in Tambov Region with an annual design capacity of nearly 90,000 tons of pork in live weight. The first phase was planned to be commissioned in 2014. The facilities will use internally produced feed, for which a feed factory is being built in the city of Zherdevka, Tambov Region. The facility is estimated to have a capacity of 290,000 tons and a grain elevator with 120,000 tons capacity. The meat business of Rusagro is represented on the Russian market by OJSC Belgorodsky Bacon that has production facilities in Shebekensky and Volokonovsky districts in Belgorod Region. This company, which is among the country’s five largest pork producers, annually puts out over 62,000 tons of pork by live weight. By 2014, the group of companies Agro-Belogorye is planning to increase its production of pork by one-and-a-half times or up to 155,000 tons by live weight through the construction of five new hog units. Four of these will appear in the west of Belgorod Region and one in the east. Each unit is estimated to have a capacity of 11,000 to 12,000 tons of pork annually.

Ivanovo Region Pork Production Projects Petrovsky Sovkhoz, a closed joint-stock company, initiated a project to redesign and convert a pork production facility. The project was undertaken in accordance with the Priority National Project Development of the Agri-industrial Complex in the Russian Federation. Located in the Gavrilovo-Posadsky District, the project was estimated to require two billion rubles, of which 790 million rubles is expected from government support. The hog unit has a capacity of 70,000 head per year. The facility uses modern European technology for a full production cycle of breeding, growing and fattening. The project was stopped. Final products of Mikoyan company which was a customer of the project are products of deep processing, such as sausages and etc. They solve their problem with raw materials due to low-quality import acted. Therefore such decision was probably reasonable. The Borodino Group of Company was incorporated in 1994 as a producer of beverages with financial support and interst from Petroff-Bank and the insurance company Elkos. In 2006, the Borodino Group entered the food retail market with the Productoria supermarket chain noted for neighborhood stores. The affiliate that managed the chain was declared bankrupt in 2011. An associated investment project

involved building four production modules for raising 100,000 head of pigs annually in Gavrilovo-Posadksy Municipal District in Ivanovo Region. The production was valued at 2.6 billion rubles. Besides our proposed pig breeding and slaughterhouse operation, several other projects have been approved and recommended for implementation in Ivanovo Region by the Interdepartmental Council for the Placement of Productive Forces and Investment. Those projects include the following:

Slavyanka LLC - Redesign and modernization of livestock houses for fattening up to 10,000 pigs per year valued at 29.9 million rubles

Levy Bereg LLC - Construction of a hog breeding unit with an output of 150,000 head per year valued at 7.5 billion rubles per year

Ivanovo Meat Processing Plant (Ivanovsky Myasokombinat) - Largest producer of sausage, cooked sausage, semi-smoked sausage, ham, sowbelly, prefabricated meat, ground meat, and smoked and roasted poultry in the region

VI. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Vertically Integrated Pork Production

We intend to produce and market high-quality chilled pork products in the Russia domestic market. We plan to build and operate a pig breeding operation to supply pigs for our nearby slaughterhouse where our porkmeat products will be cut, cooled and packed. The planned capacity of each Pig Breeding Unit will be 75,000 pigs tons annually. Our principal end-products will be fresh chilled pork sides, boned pork meat and pork offal. Based on an eight-hour, single shift working day, we expect to produce 24,396 tons of fresh chilled pork per year, mostly it will be highest quality boned pork production. The estimated value of expected porkmeat products is US$157.7 million annually including value-added tax.

Magnat will be a vertically integrated producer of porkmeat in the highest quality categories. We plan to use advanced world-class technologies in our pig breeding and slaughterhouse operations. These practices should support production of porkmeat products that compare favorably with world meat standards. The Magnat operations will be located in Ilyinsky District in the Ivanovo Region. Our operations are strategically located near the major metropolitan areas were of Moscow and St. Petersburg where there are current porkmeat supply shortages. We plan to deliver our products via trade networks.

We expect our entrance into the market to be facilitated by supportive local and federal government policies that encourage domestic meat production. Due to the lack of strong incumbent brands we expect little resistance to the entrance of a new competitor. Through our pre-marketing efforts we have entered into agreements to supply chilled pork to four customers. The four agreements require us to deliver up to 73,000 tons of chilled pork meat per year beginning in 2017. We expect to continue our pre-marketing efforts with other customers in the food distribution and retail sales.

Project Location

We have chosen sites for the location of our pig breeding and slaughterhouse operations in the Ilyinski District of the Ivanovo Region. The pig breeding operation is to be situated on a 44-hectare parcel near Osipovo Village. We have chosen a nearby location for the slaughterhouse comprised of 8.6 hectares near the community of Ilinskoe-Hovanskoe. The 44- hectare parcel is already owned by OJSC Magnat. Certificates of land ownership are available. The 8.6-hectare parcel has been reserved for Magnat.

The site for our pig breeding operation is within 5.5 kilometers of an electrical power connection and 6.5 kilometers of a gas power networks. We have already obtained technical plans to connect to both electrical and gas power networks.

The chosen locations afford easy access to transportation. The nearest paved highway is 850 meters. A railway services the Town of Teykovo approximately 53 kilometers away and the Town of Rostov in the Yaroslav Region approximately 45 kilometers away. The sites are located approximately 200 kilometers from Moscow, 700 kilometers from St. Petersburg and 75 kilometers from the City of Ivanovo. The location configuration was chosen to assure compliance with sanitation requirements, which are 1,000 meters for the Pig Breeding Complex and 300 meters for the Slaughterhouse. We also took into consideration the optimum arrangement to allow for production expansion and slaughterhouse efficiencies. Separate location of the Pig Breeding Complex and Slaughterhouse makes it possible to source pigs for slaughter from multiple breeder sites.

Expansion Strategy The capacity of the Slaughterhouse is planned to be 3.5 times more than the capacity of each pig-breeding unit. We believe this is economically reasonable as it allows for incremental expansion. We propose to build four pig breeding such units over the first three years of our proposed project. We also plan to establish a pig breeding farm which can ensure the supply of pedigree stock for our pig breeding operations as well as pedigree stock for sale. We also plan to enter into feed production. At much as 75% of the expenses in a Pig Breeding Complex relate to feed. A captive crop production operation could help reduce feed costs. We also plan to build of granary for feed storage.

VII. PLAN OF PRODUCTION

Pig Breeding Operations Live pig production technologies are aimed at growing maximum quantity of the highest quality in the shortest possible time and at minimal production costs. Breeders and genetecists have worked for many years to improve pig breeds for the best biological characteristics. At the core of all pig breeding efforts are pedigree sows and boars. Typically four primary pig breeds are used in modern pig breeding: Yorkshire, Large White, Landrace and Durok . Crossbreeding of these breeds yields tradable pigs with the desired characteristics. The most important biological characteristics of pigs are:

Multiple pregnancy - pigs with good genetics produce on the average13 to14 live piglets, and sometimes up to 20

Short term of pregnancy - 114 day

Early maturation – achievement of live weight of 100 kilograms within 150 days

Weight gain after maturation - weight gain of at least one kilogram for every 2.7 feed units applied during fattening period after maturation

Slaughter yield and nutritional quality of meat – at least 70% slaughter yield of growing-fattening pigs; no more than 60% to 62% water content; minimum of 2,500 calories per kilogram of medium quality pork

Panthophagy - application of dry feed

Adaptation to climatic conditions - easy adaptation to different climate zone and feed conditions We plan to rely on advanced pig growing technologies developed in Canada and Europe. The main difference between the Canadian approach to growing pigs and Europe technology is the term of weaning of piglets. Under European practices piglets are typically weaned in 28 days to 30 days, while in Canada the weaning interval has been reduced to 19 days to 21 days. The initial pig breeding operation is divided into five principal steps:

Delivery and quarantine of initial breeding stock

Insemination and expectation

Farrowing

Growing

Fattening Delivery and Quarantine of Breeding Stock The initial stock of breeding sows for our operation will be delivered from Canada. We have determined that the most suitable weight of these sows will be at the average of 50 kilograms. At this weight we expect to save on transport services and still be able to grow the pigs to proper insemination age within 4 months. At a lower live weight the time to insemination will be increased, thereby increasing operating expenditures. What is more at the larger size and maturity it is easier to evaluate and select pigs of the best quality. The delivered animals will be placed in quarantine pens for thirty days. A blood examination will be made to look for disease. If the blood examination is negative the pigs will be removed from quarantine. The population will be vaccinated under a plan approved by the Veterinary Service. The animals will remain in this section until they reach an average live weight of 120 kilograms. Then they will be moved to a section for empty sows, where they will be inseminated.

Magnat Chilled Pork Project | Business Plan

September 2015 41

Insemination The first impregnation of sows takes place at the age of seven to eight months and at weights of not less than 120 kilograms. Sows are bred for three to five years before being sent to slaughter. A sow can have an average of 2.3 to 2.5 farrowings per year. Average litter size is 12 piglets Therefore, on average a sow has 30 or more piglets per year. Piglet loss in the farrowing section is 10% to 12%. Pig loss in the growth stage is 4% to 5% while losses in the fatteing stage are 2% to 3%. Summing losses in these consequtive stages means that one sow can give up to 26 tradable pigs per year that eventually complete the fattening stage. We intend to use artificial insemination to impregnate sows since this is the most advanced method leading to sow pregnancy. Through the practice of artificial insemination the required ratio of boars to sows is reduced from 1:25 to 1:100. Sows are held in pens for insemination approximately 30 days on average. Typically pregnancy is achieved in 85% of sows undergoing artificial insemination. We will use an ultrasonic apparatus to check pregnancy. Pregnant sows are moved to expectation pens and then to the farrowing section. Farrowing Pregnant sows are moved to the farrowing section approximately 5 days to 7 days before they are expected to deliver piglets. During farrowing, the operator should control the whole process and, if necessary, provide obstetrics. Piglets are born with an average weight of 1.2 kilograms. No more than 12 to 14 piglets should be left under one sow. Sows often bear up to 18 piglets, so it is necessary to practice removal and evulsion by nest in the first day after farrowing. Nest mass is observed for maximum uniformity. Special attention should be given to piglets on the first day of their lives to avoid pinching that can lead to asphyxiation. When the piglets are three days to five days of age all necessary veterinary procedures are carried out, including castration, cutting of tails and injection of iron-containing drugs. The piglets should be trained to eat dry feed beginning at five days of age. This prepares the piglets for weaning from a sow and avoids feed stress. A feeding rack located on the side wall of farrowing section should be filled twice daily (morning and noontime) with the initial fodder mix. Fresh fodder in the amount that the piglets can eat in about two to three hours (approximately 20 grams) should be made available to avoid feed clogs and spoilage. Piglets are removed from the farrowing pens for weaning in approximately 19 days to 21 days following the Canadian pig husbandry practice. Sows are again returned to insemination section. Sows typically return to fertility in five days. Weaning and Growing After weaning at approximately 19 days to 21 days of age, piglets are moved to clean, dry pens the growing section. To ensure optimal growth piglets are frequently resorted after initial placement in growing pens. Since the piglets have not yet learned to eat from self-feeders, feed should be sprinkled on concrete floor using the same dry feed the piglets ate while with the sow. Such feeding is carried out during first week the piglets are in the growing area. Water should be poured in a feeding pan until the piglets learn to drink from snout drinking bowls. At weaning the average live weight will be approxiately six kilograms. Piglets are held in the growing section for approximately 60 days. During this period their daily weight gain will be in a range of 400 grams to 500 grams. At the conclusion of the growing period the they are expected to reach a live weight near 30 kilograms.

Fattening Fattening of pigs is a final phase of production at the pig-breeding complex. Fattening section requires the least labor, because all systems are mechanized and automated. The ultimate goal of fattening of pigs is to produce high-quality meat in a short time with the least expenses. Biological characteristics of animal organism should be taken into account in order to organize fattening in proper way. Different fattening strategies are used depending upon the animals age, sex, pedigree qualities and keeping facilities. Each animal has its own characteristics and biological regularities at different periods of life. Growth rate gradually increases from the moment of birth to a certain period, after which it begins to slow down. Different tissues grow and develop with different intensity. Thus, muscle tissue of piglets grows and develops faster than adipose tissue. By the age of six months growth of muscle tissue slows down and growth of adipose tissue – speeds up. Thus, correlation of fat and protein in body of an animal varies considerably during different periods. Older pigs have more fat and calorie content of meat is high. Younger pigs have less fat and calorie content is lower. Therefore, pigs should be fed until they reach the weight of not more than 115 kilograms in order to get as much lean meat as possible.

Keeping of Sows Empty and pregnant sows should be kept in individual pens with the length of 2.5 meters and width of 0.65 meters. The height requirement is variable from 0.5 meters at the entrance of the pen to 1.1 meters near the feeding-rack. Pens should be made of galvanized steel pipes. Pens can be arranged in a row and the feeding-rack should be installed along the full length. Slotted floors made of concrete should be made in the rear of the pen. Fodder should be delivered by a line-washer conveyor with individual volumetric dividers, the volume of which is from 1 kilogram to 6 kilograms. Sows should drink from drinking bowls installed in a pipe above the rack. Milking sows should be kept in individual pens. The width of the pen is 1.9 meters and the length 2.4 meters so that the total area will be at least 4.56 square meters. Height of the partition in pens holding piglets is 0.5 meters. The height of the sow’s pen should be 1.1 meters. Part of the floor in the defecation zone should be overlapped with cast-iron grating while the rest is a solid concrete floor. Infrared heating lamps and heated floors should be made in a rest zone for the piglets. A sow should drink from snout drinking bowl set in the feeding-rack. The piglets are provided a nipple drinker set in the defecation zone. A small part of the pen is a feeding area for the piglets where they are fed manually. from special feeding-rack for piglets. Construction of farrowing pen minimizes the need for the presence of personnel during farrowing. Well constructed pens also ensure the safety of piglets during and after farrowing through a rest zone for piglets. A a specially constructed barrier allows the piglets free access to the sow but prevents the sow from entering the piglet rest zone. Furthermore, personnel also have free access to the piglets. Dry feed should be given to sows in the farrowing pens by line-washer conveyor with individual volumetric dividers. Keeping of Piglets Between 22 and 25 piglets can be kept together in growing pens. Walls of machines and doors are made of plastic, bearers and fixtures are made of stainless steel. Floors of machine are partly overlapped with plastic gratings. In the rest zone of piglets floor is heated, also brooder is used. Piglets should be fed with dry mixed fodders from the hopper self-feeders installed in the partition of the pens. Feeding-racks are

made of a plastic hopper and a stainless steel feeding pan. Two types of dry feed can be put in the hopper feeders. An automatec drinking apparatus is composed of a tray with a nipple that the animal can trigger with their snout. Young pigs should be fattened in group pens, holding between 17 head and 20 head in each. Walls and doors of the pens are made of plastic, while the angles and fixtures are made of stainless steel. Floors of machines are fully slotted. Pigs should be fed with dry fodder from the hopper feeding-rack with a capacity of 70 kilograms. Two types of dry feed should be put in hopper self-feeders. Pigs should drink from snout drinking bowls installed in each pen. Feeding of Pigs We expect to get the full genetic potential of our pigs through the use of proper feeds. Feeds should satisfy animals with nutrients and should have optimum correlation of ration price and nutrients supply during the animals growth, reproductive vigor and milk producing capacity. To reach the highest indices in pig breeding, feeds should be of high quality and free of toxic substances. Feeds of poor quality have negative influence on growth, reproduction and general health of the animals. Poor foods can lead to disease and abortion at different stages of pregnancy. Toxins in feeds are usually generated by fungi hyphomycetales, which grow at temperatures ranging from zero degrees Centrigrate to 60 degrees Centigrade and humidity near 20% to 25% or higher. Normally, a healthy grain contains 1,000 to 50,000 fungi per gram. Toxins may appear before and after harvest as well as during storage. If toxins are suspected, it is necessary to analyze the feed and dispose of contaminated grain. In some cases it is possible to decontaminate the feed of fungi and toxins. Along with good feeding, access to water is very important. Dehydration leads to reduction in feed consumption, reduces milk production of sows and contributes to disease. Amount of water should be regulated according to different conditions: state of health, age of animal, environment temperature. Water demand increases during hot weather. Water containing a lot of electrolytes also increases water demand. A large quantity of water is needed especially by sows, because of production of embryos and milk. Water demand of lactating sows depends on the number of sucking pigs. Any water restriction of lactating sows will have significant negative impact on quantity of milk and weaning weight of piglets. Thus drinking systems should allow the pigs to drink as much as they want. Feed Production Technology We plan to build new modern feed plant for feed storage and preparation. We expect to mix a variety of grains, including wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, cake of soybeans or sunflower, fish and meat- and -bone meal, animal and vegetable fats, dry vitamin and mineral additives. All ingredients for mixed fodders will be delivered to the feed storage building by motor transport. Trucks with feed ingredients for the mixed fodders will undergo weight control at the gate of the pig-breeding complex before unloading at the feed preparation building. Grains and cake are dumped to a storage pit and other components are unloaded at warehouse. Grain is moved by noria for further processing, including removal of metallic debris by using a magnetic separator, and then to storage feeding hoppers. From the storage hopper grain goes to cleaning. At this stage of the process all remained dirt such as weed seeds, straw andstones, is removed. The next stage is crushing in a disk crusher and mixing. Except for the sieve step, cake is processed in a similar manner as the grain. Fish flour, animal and vegetable fats and dry vitamin and mineral additives from the warehouse also go to lower capacity feeding hoppers and then to the mixer. Mixing of components takes place at the final stage of animal feed preparation.

Each stage of growing of pigs requires a specific feed formula in which the percentage of each feed ingredient is changed. Finished feeds from feed preparation house are transported by feed-truck to buildings housing our pigs. There finished feeds are put into the feed hoppers of feed distribution system. Dry Feed Distribution A particular feed distribution system has been created for transportation and dosing of dry feed in the form of flour, crumbs or granule. It starts from collection from hopper and ends with delivery at the pen. Due to modular design, the system has broad possibilities of application in pig breeding production. The system includes hoppers for storage of dry feed, receiving cones, a line-washer conveyor, turning device, sensors to cut off of feed, volumetric dividers of dry feed and a control device. Mixed fodder from hoppers of finished feed is loaded into volumetric dividers with capacity of 4.0 liters to 12.0 liters. The volumetric dividers which are located in individual pens. After all feeders are filled the supply of forage is automatically stopped. The line-washer conveyor works as a loader of feed to group growing pens for the piglets. In turn it loads the hopper feeders with a capacity of up to 70 kilograms that are placed in the pens. After filling, all types of forage feed hoppers will be automatically stopped. The line-washer conveyor has a diameter of 63.5 millimeters to deliver up to 2,100 kilograms per hour. It has a simple control panel to control all types of systems, including systems of feeders with manual distribution. System will alert the operator with a siren or lamp if a failure happens at feeding line.

Veterinary Services The technology of pig production relies on disease prevention at the Pig Breeding Complex. The better the prevention effort, the less veterinary treatment will be and the higher quality the finished product. . In order to prevent widespread infectious diseases, quarantine regulations will be strictly observed at the Pig Breeding Complex. Purchased animals are kept in quarantine for six weeks. Twenty-four hours must pass between two visits of one person to different farms. All items brought in from outside must be washed and wrappings of medicines thrown away. Farm cats will not be allowed to leave the farm. Food wastes cannot be used as pig feed. Pest control against flies and rodents will be strictly enforced at the pig breeding farm. For rodent control traps with poisoned, regularly updated baits are used. These baits are placed around a building in every 50 meters. Prevention of fly growth is made by placing of special blends. Furthermore, all visitors and workers must wash hands and change clothes before entering farm. All animal deaths will be investigated under a thorough clinical examination, including opening of internal organs, tissue examinations and blood analysis. Feed and water are checked frequently during production in order to facilitate the diagnosis of diseases and determine the cause of animal death. Body temperature of pigs is checked to control their health. Healthy pigs have various average body temperatures: from birth to 12 weeks, 39.0° C to 40.0° C; from 3 to 6 months 38.7° C to 39.3 ° C; more than 6 months 38.5° C to 39.1 ° C. Proper animal husbandry requires forced killing of pigs with partial paralysis, uterine prolapsed, bone fracture, diarrhea, pneumonia, brain fever and other terminal cases. Such a step may not be taken until a treatment program has been attempted for at least two weeks. Selection Breeding of pigs, as well as breeding of any other species of animals, is based on selection. The best specimens of the population should become parents of next generation. The primary goal of pig breeding is improving profitability. This requires that pigs grow fast with effective application of feeds. Meat consumers have strict quality demands, including a preference for lean meat. This factor should affect selection purposes. Breeding power and milking capacity of sows, piglet vitality and shapely legs are particularly important. Artificial insemination plays central role in selection, as it gives an opportunity to move genetic progress effectively with wide use of the best pedigree material. The use of artificial insemination, as well as specific stimulation of sows before insemination and in the process of insemination, is considered economically reasonable.

Slaughterhouse Operations We propose to use a slaughterhouse production line supplied by EMF Lebensmitteltechnik-Anlagenbou GmbH of Germany. The system can be divided into four stages: 1) slaughtering and pre-processing; 2) cooling, 3) boning and 4) packing Slaughtering and Preprocessing In the slaughtering and pre-processing of pork the animals are typically transported by truck from the growing section to a place of slaughter. Transportation of livestock often leads to a stress condition, which is accompanied by a significant loss of live weight and slaughter weight. It has an impact on fatness and sometimes leads to the death of animals in transit because of metabolic disorders. Depth of stress increases with distance and lengthier time of transportation. Proper organization of transportation

September 2015 47

of animals in modern trucks at fixed distances, creation of appropriate conditions for preslaughter, adequate rest for the animals help ensure normal physiological state of animals. This improves quality of meat and avoids meat loss. The goal of pre-slaughter keeping is to reduce of pre-slaughter stress of animals. Animals are placed in pen where they can move about freely and rest after transportation. The pre-slaughter keeping pens should be equipped with heated floor and sprinklers. Animals in pre-slaughter control undergo inspection by the Veterinary Inspection Service. If sick animals are found, the Veterinary Service determines possibility of further use of the animal. After inspection and approval by the Veterinary Inspection Service, the animals are washed under a shower at a water temperature between 20 degrees Centigrade and 25 degrees Centrigrade. The animals should be washed at least five minutes. Knocking is the method used to kill the animal for slaugher. It must be carried out quickly and efficiently to avoid stress, which causes an increase in adrenaline levels in the blood and stress on the cardiovascular system. Two methods of knocking of pigs can be used depending on capacity of the company: 1) knocking by electric current with tongs at 250 Gts to 2,400 Gts or by V-shaped clamp at 300 volts to 780 volts or 2) knocking by gas using carbon dioxide. Knocking of animals before slaughtering provides more complete exsanguination of the carcasses because the heart and lungs continue to work. It also creates safer working conditions for workers. After knocking, the animal is suspended on a hanging rail to facilitate exsanguination. A single knife stroke is made to the heart with hollow knife from the bottom of the neck under the chest. One of the main prerequisites for obtaining of high-quality products from carcasses is complete removal of bristle. The maximum smoothness is achieved by effective multistage clearing by means of special equipment, including a singe furnace and wash machine. Next the internal organs are removed in step called evisceration. Efficiency, hygiene and quality of evisceration depend to a considerable degree on the accuracy of certain working operations. The process of removing the white and red organs is optimized by means of conveyors bringing carcasses at individual workstations in a continuous mode. The entrails are removed in a specified sequence: 1) removal of eyes and auricles; 2) cutting the abdomen cavity; 3) removal of white organs such as the stomach and intestines; 4) removal of red organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidney; and 5) veterinary control of red and white organs. Work starts from separation of head and legs from the body barrel. The rectum should be cut around the anus. Then the abdominal cavity should be dissected in the middle by an incision from the groin to sternum. Bladder, intestines, stomach and liver should be taken out. After this the breast bone should be dissected and the lungs together with trachea and heart should be taken out. Carcasses should be parted to pork sides along spine. After this step the carcasses undergo veterinary inspection and control. The final step of slaughter involves the weighing and classification of the carcasses. Following the slaughter stage, the carcass is sent to be cooled.

Cooling Three methods are basically used to chill pork. We plan to use high-speed cooling, also called shock cooling or interrupted high-speed coolin. In a process of high-speed cooling immediately after slaughter, carcasses are passed through a tunnel and exposed to a certain temperature with air flows fixed by refrigeration technique. Since there is a continuous flow of animal carcasses into the tunnel, the refrigerator thermal load must be optimized over time to keep a constant air temperature in refrigerator. The temperature at the surface of the carcass gets reduced quickly to -20 degrees Centigrade. This is conductive to reduce up to 40% of the heat from the carcass and a significant reduction of mass loss as compared with other methods of high-speed cooling. In addition, cooling time is shortened and requires less space. In high speed cooling of pork sides the ambient temperature is typically of -10 degrees Centigrade to -6 degrees Centrigrade. The air rate ranges from two meters per second to three meters per second. Carcasses typically are in the tunnel for two hours. After cooling the carcasses are transferred to the refrigeration room where the ambient temperature ranges from -1 degrees Centigrade to +2 degrees Centigrade and the air rate ranges from 0.1 meters per second to 0.3 meters per second.

Boning Boning is usually accomplished in two stages: 1) butchery to juncture and 2) separating meat from bones. Butchery to junctures is made on a pre-cutting tables standing in parallel or by means of semiautomatic disk saws. Cutting is done with hand disc saws, stationary band saws or disc blades depending on the capacity of the production. Packing The object of the packing alternatives is to: 1) to sell a product and 2) to keep the product fresh as long as possible. Production in the form of pork sides is sold without packing. The expiration date of such products is two to four days. Therefore, these products must be sold to a buyer before to slaughter. The balance of production will require packing after the boning step. There are different technologies of packing of fresh meat. Vacuum packing increases the expiration date of the product up to a range of 20 days to 25 days. Packing in modified atmosphere (MA) increases an expiration date up to 15 days. It is reasonable to pack pieces of meat weighing 5 kilograms to 7 kilograms in vacuum packing. These pieces are not a commodity for consumer. They are bought by distribution networks for further processing into smaller pieces. It is reasonable to pack in MA-packing products for end users. We propose to purchase packing machines that will enable us to use either vacuum or modified atmosphere packing.

Staffing Plan Normal operation comes after production start and the onset of full capacity production. At least six months before this point, the project team begins preparation for transfer of operations to a new management team. The project team organizes the system of production management. One of management systems will be the motivational framework for the staff. All management systems will be aimed to obtain maximum economic effect from operation of production. We expect to employ approximately 57 people in each Pig Breeding Unit, with 42 positions dedicated to production, 8 to security and 7 to administrative functions. In our Slaughterhouse, the planned staffing level is significantly higher in each Pig Breeding Unit, where we expect to employ 115 people. Approximately 76 positions are dedicated to production, 8 to security, 9 to sales and 14 to administrative functions.

VIII. PRODUCTION ECONOMICS

Pig Breeding Complex Production Assumptions Each Pig Breeding Unit will be designed to house up to 3,000 productive sows. The average sow is able to bear from 26 to 30 piglets per annum. Following prudent animal husbandry principals, the typical sow can produce as many as 30 to 32 piglets per year. The average slaughter weight of pigs is 110 kilograms. Based on 28 piglets per sow each year and our planned herd size for each Pig Breeding Unit, at capacity we could produce 84,000 pigs per year for slaughter yielding 9,240 tons of meat in live weight. At the price of 120 roubles (US$1.85) per kilogram the value of this production level would be 1.108 billion roubles( US$17.05 million) or 110 roubles (US$1.69) per kilogram a value of 1.016 billion roubles (US$15.63 million). If we assume 30 piglets per sow we could produce as many as 90,000 animals per year or 9,900 tons of live weight per year. At the prices of 120 roubles (US$1.85) and 110 roubles (US$1.69) per kilogram, the value of this production level is estimated at 1.188 billion roubles (US$18.28 million) and 1.089 billion roubles ($16.75 million), respectively. Based on a range of 24 to 25 piglets per year from each sow and our planned herd size, we estimate each pig breeding unit as designed could produce approximately 75,000 pigs for slaughter each year. This production level could yield 7,920 tons of live weight pigs per year. Assuming a wholesale price of 120 roubles (US$1.85) per kilogram, we estimate the potential value could reach be 950.400 million roubles( US$14.62 million). Assuming a price of 110 roubles (US$1.69) per kilogram, the estimated value could be 871.2 million roubles (US$13.4 million), it is very conservative estimation.. In calculating the potential cash flows from our project we applied the assumption of 24 to 25 piglets per sow per year and the wholesale price of 110 roubles (US$1.69) per kilogram. We estimate the total annual value of each pig breeding unit will be approximately 950.400 million roubles( US$13.4 million). We expect to begin breeding sows within thirteen to fourteen months of initiating construction. Pig breeding can quickly ramp to full capacity with the delivery and completion of quarantine of the first batch of breeding sows. Our financial projections reflect the construction of four pig breeding units, the first which is completed within thirty months from the on-set of construction. We expect to complete the second unit within two years and the third and fourth units are planned within two and a half years.

Slaughterhouse Production Value at Capacity As designed the maximum processing performance of the Slaughterhouse is 120 head per hour. Given the capacity of the refrigerators we plan to use, the maximum duration of a work shift will be ten hours. Our business plan provides for twenty-two working days per month. Thus the Slaughterhouse is able to process up to 316,880 pigs per year or approximately 34,848 tons in live weight. This would yield approximately 24,045 tons of pork sides based on the assumptions that the average pig will yield approximately 70% porkmeat and 30% offal. Assuming 100% of the porkmeat qualifies as first category quality, at a price of 178.0 roubles (US$2.74) per kilogram for pork sides in the first category, we estimate our annual receipts could be 4.28 billion roubles (US$65.8 million). We estimate that approximately 85% to 100% of the porkmeat could go to the boning step as described in Section VII of this document. Quantity and price of products of the boning process are presented in a Table VII below. We estimate the value of our boning products could be US$78.6 million per year. Approximately 30% of the typical pig is offal of the first and second category, including fats, endocrine raw materials and surrogates for medical products. Quantity and price of these products are presented in Table X on the next page. We estimate the total weight of offal, fats, medical products will be 900,240 kilograms valued at US$ 691,318 per month or US$8.3 million per year. At base prices the estimated total sales value of all Slaughterhouse products at full capacity utilization is estimated at US$96.8 million per year.

Pig-breeding Complex Operating Costs Feed Costs Feed costs will be the principle expenses of the Pig Breeding Complex, representing approximately 75% of total costs. The indicator that characterizes efficiency of production is feed conversion, calculated as the amount of feed used for production per kilogram pork in live weight. The industry average feed conversion ratio is 2.92. Using this industry average we can estimate how much feed will be needed for the production of 75,000 pigs per year per breeding unit. 75,000 Pigs Per Year per Unit X 110 Kilograms Average Slaughter Weight X 2.92 Feed Conversion Ratio X 107% Gross up for Transportation Losses During Production and Transportation = 25,776,300 Kilograms of Feed We estimate the feed requirement at our pig breeding operation will be approximately 26 thousand tons annually. We plant to construct a mixed-fodder plant to prepare feed for at least seven different formular appropriate for the age categories we expect to house in our Pig Breeding Complex. To estimate the variable costs such as heating, power consumption and water supply for the pig breeding operation, we used approximate calculations for the type of design and facility configuration we have chosen. Besides ambient heating, hot water supply (domestic and production) should be taken into account when making heating calculations. The facilities of the Pig Breeding Complex must be kept at various optimum temperatures:

Buildings of insemination / expectations, farrowing, growing must be kept at a temperature range of 22 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius

Sanitary inspection rooms, fattening rooms, permanent accommodation and offices must be at a minimum temperature near 18 degrees Celsius

Feed preparation house must be kept at a minimum temperature near 7 degrees Celsius

As a rule, to heat a building housing pigs, heating boilers with capacity of 800 kilowatts to 1.5 megawatts are needed, depending on the 1) climatic zone in which the facility is located; 2) number of heated buildings; 3) construction, of which building are constructed. A variety of fuels can be used in boilers, including natural gas, liquid fuel, straw or organic waste. Required power, fuel type and duration of the heating season (climatic zone) determine cost of heating. We estimate heating expenses will be approximately 0.45% to 0,6% of total expenses, costing in a range of 236,000 roubles (US$3,630) to 247,000 rubles (US$3,800) per month. Power Supply To estimate power supply expenses we have taken into consideration the total power of all energy consumers, including equipment, lighting and household devices as well as the occasions of simultaneous use of equipment. For the Pig Breeding Complex this indicator is from 0.8 megawatts to 1.2 megawatts. At a cost of 3.20 rubles per kilowatt of electricity (US$0.049), the approximate energy expense at each Pig Breeding Unit is estimated to be approximately 404,460 rubles (US$6,192.00) per month. Water Consumption To estimate expenses connected with supply of water, the approximate calculation of water consumption will be given. We estimate the monthly expenses for water supplies for each Pig Breeding Unit will be about 263,066 rubles (US$4,047.17) per month. Veterinary Service We expect to spend from 6.1 thousand rubles to 7.2 thousands rubles (US$110.7) on veterinary services in each pig as the pigs grow to slaughter weight. We estimate the monthly cost will be approximatley 1,780 thousand rubles (US$27,38).

Slaughterhouse Operating Expenses Live Pigs The principal resource requirement for our Slaughterhouse will be live weight pigs. The cost of the pigs will represent approximately 80% of total Slaughterhouse operating expenses. Base on our planned maximum capacity of 120 head per hour, a ten-hour working day and five-day work week, we estimate the annual requirement would be 316,880 pigs per year with a live weight of approximately 34,848 tons. At full capacity utilization we estimate the annual expenses for live weight pigs would be approximately US$100.7 million annually composed 100% of first category animals and none for second category animals. This is based on prices in the open wholesale market and not on the costs we expect to incur in our captive pig breeding operation. 316,800 Slaughterhouse Capacity Per Year X 110 Kilograms Average Slaughter Weight X 100% Production Mix - First Category X US$1.85 Average Price Live Weight - First Category = US$64,468,800 Annual Live Weight Cost - First Category Pigs X 0% Production Mix - Second Catergory X US$1.46 Average Price Live Weight - Second Category = US$ -0- Annual Live Weight Cost - Second Category = US$64,468,800 Total Cost Live Weight Pigs

Natural Gas Given the design estimates have not been completed for the Slaughterhouse, we used approximate calculations to estimate costs for heating, power consumption and water supply for the Slaughterhouse. We expect to use natural gas to heat the Slaughterhouse and for other functions. At full capacity of 120 head per hour we estimate 1,734,165 cubic meters of gas will be needed per month. Gas costs will be approximately 11 million rubles (US$169,230.76) per month assuming a gas price of 6.17 rubles per cubic meter (US$0.095).

Power Supply To estimate electricity expenses we assumed a standard range of 0.8 megawatts to 1.2 megawatts total power requirement for equipment, lighting, household devices in the Slaughterhouse and multiplied by a factor of 0.6 for simultaneous use of equipment. The assumed cost electricity is 3.45 rubles (US$0.114) per kilowatt. Thus, we estimate electricity expenses at Slaughterhouse will be around 1.2 million rubles (US$18,461.76) per month. Water Consumption We estimate that water consumption in the Slaughterhouse will be in a range of 48 cubic meters per hour to 54 meters per hour or in a range of 384 cubic meters to 432 cubic meters per shift. The monthly cost of water for the Slaughterhouse is estimated to be in a range from 200,000 rubles (US$3,000.77) to 230,000 rubles (US$3,540.0).

Fixed Asset Maintenance Costs The cost of maintain plant and equipment is impacted by equipment failure, failure to replace of frequently used and high-wear equipment components and improper operation of equipment. We believe choice of equipment provider is also very important in minimzing future fixed asset maintenance costs. To estimate expenses for maintenance we used the working experience of similar enterprises. We estimate the maintenance costs in each Pig Breeding Unit will total approximately 1,284,328.5 rubles (US$319,758) per month. This is based on an average cost of 205 rubles (US$3.15) per head and our planned breeding capacity of 75,000 pigs per year. In the Slaughterhouse we estimate maintenance costs will be 3,508,602 rubles (US$53,978.0) per month. This is based on an estimate of 0.75% to 1% of gross revenue.

Administrative and Other Expenses Expenses related to banking, professional services, computing and communications, transportation and other administrative functions are expected to be approximately 9% of total costs in the Pig Breeding Complex and 2% in the Slaughterhouse operation.

IX. PRODUCTS Magnat will be positioned as a producer of high-quality porkmeat and pork by-products. Our end products will be fresh chilled porkmeat in the form of pork sides weighing about 38.5 kilograms each, boned porkmeat in pieces weighing an average of 2.0 kilograms and offal composed principally of lung, heart and liver. We expect to market our products to retail food distribution networks of in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the immediate communities in the Ivanovo Region. Porkmeat is a nutricious and cost-effective source of protein, making it highly marketable in the Russia market where domestic meat production falls short of demand. The slaughter yield of growing-fattening pigs is approximately 70%, which compares favorably to a 50% to 60% yield from cattle. Porkmeat contains less water and has a higher calorie content. Beef and mutton both contain as much as 72% to 75% water, while porkmeat is typically only 60% to 62% water. A kilogram of medium-quality pork contains about 2,500 calories, whereas a kilogram of beef contains from 1,800 to 2,000 calories. A kilogram of lamb typically contains 1,500 to 1,800 calories. Fresh chilled pork is faster to market than beef. Softer and with less connective tissue than beef, porkmeat does not require aging by means of hanging. Porkmeat is red, transpierced with veins of fat. Lard is light-colored with a slightly granular structure. Lean pork has a light pink color with glittery appearance. High-quality pork is classified as P5E, where P stands for pale (colorless), 5 is soft and E is watery. We expect to produce up to 75,000 tradable pigs per year at each of our Pig Breeding Units, where we plan to use modern animal husbandry practices to achieve excellent farrowing, growing and fattening results. Based on the weight of a typical pig between 105 kilograms to 120 kilograms, we expect to yield approximately 7,920 tons of live weight pigs per year at each breeding facility. We estimate the wholesale value of the live weight pigs will be approximately US$60.9 million, including value-added tax. The live weight pigs will be sent to our Slaughterhouse for killing, cutting, cooling and packing. Based on an eight-hour work day, the Slaughterhouse could produce 24,396 tons of fresh chilled pork per year at value US$96.8 million, the value of which we estimate will be approximately US$9.9 million for pork sides and US$78.6 million in boned porkmeat including value-added tax. We note that our initial Slaughterhouse production rate will be less than maximum capacity utilization of the Slaughterhouse, which could potentially to process as much as 34,848 tons of live weight pigs per year. We believe 100% of the pork sides from our pig breeding operation will qualify as first category porkmeat. Pigs with a slaughter weight of 105 kilograms to 120 kilograms with fat thickness not more than 18 millimeters and a meat yield of not less than 70% will qualify as first category meat. Pigs with a slaughter weight of 105 kilograms to 150 kilograms with fat thickness not more than 30 millimeters and a meat yield of not less than 56% will be classified as second category meat.

X. SALES AND MARKETING Our operations are located approximately 200 kilometers from Moscow in the Central Federal District and 75 kilometers from Ivanovo in Ivanovo Region. Close proximity to major metropolitan areas allows us to easily market our porkmeat products in the immediate vicinity of our homebase in the Ivanovo Region as well as in Russia’s major metropolitan area. We believe it is timely to bring new porkmeat products to Russia’s food market. There is short supply of high-quality porkmeat. Often a consumer gets defrosted imported meat in the guise of fresh meat even in big trade chain stores. What is more, the level of consumption of fresh chilled meat is growing as income levels rise in the wake of the world recession in 2009 to 2010 and world political situation in 2014. Consumers are gaining an understanding of the goodness of fresh meat consumption instead of processed meat foods such as sausages and frankfurters. Although meat consumption in Russia is on the rise, it remains below historic highs in the 1990s. We believe that this gives us time to plan and organize our meat production business and reach a position of strength with high quality products before the market has reach maturity.

Supply Agreements Through our pre-marketing efforts we have entered into agreements to supply chilled pork to four customers. The four agreements require us to deliver up to 73,000 tons of chilled pork meat per year beginning in 2017. We expect to continue our pre-marketing efforts with other customers in the food distribution and retail sales.

Target Markets Our principal target markets will be food wholesale operators and food chains in the metropolitan areas of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other population centers. We also plan to market our products in the Ivanovo Region where our production facilities are located. In the future it may be possible to expand our marketing reach to central and northwest regions of Russia. Main target customers include the following:

Corporate buyers of intermediate porkside product and finished chilled pork product - Managers of chain retail categories - Mroduct manager of chain retail - Distribution companies for work with individual sales outlets; - Directors of small-chain stores - Directors, managers of individual sales outlets - Directors and managers of individual points HoReCa.

Consumers as end buyers of packed and not packed chilled meat. Because of low significance of food trademarks for buyers, a key to successful sales and marketing will have be the cultivation of interest and loyalty. The quantity of a possible price market is estimated to

Page 72: MAGNAT CHILLED PORK PROJECT - EURO CAPITAL Business Plan Sept_2015KL… · Chart XIV: Wholesales Pork Selling Prices in Russia - 2008-2014 ..... 28 Chart XV: Retail Pork Prices in

Magnat Chilled Pork Project | Business Plan

September 2015 65

account for 80% of wholesalers’ choice. Variety of packaged products and convenience of logistics each account for 10% of wholesalers’ choices.

Distribution Channels Food retailers rely more and more on wholesale distribution networks to source meat products. Such distribution networks sell as much as 40% of the total meat products sold in Russia. Chain stores, which in particular rely on wholesale intermediaries for meat products, are growing in prominence in Russia. Our production facilities are located immediately adjacent to pave roads that connect to major highways leading to Moscow in the south, St. Petersburg in the northwest and Ivanovo to the east. We plan to take our products to market using leased trucks.

Marketing Plan We plan to approach our corporate customers with a series of marketing materials and sales strategies:

• Catalogues with a range of products • Negotiations with chains and payment of “entry” tickets • Negotiations with chains and bonuses according to results of sales • Participation in marketing activities of chains • Payment of merchandising of products

We plan to approach our distributor customers with a series of marketing materials and sales strategies:

• Catalogues and booklets with a variety of products • Leaflets • System of bonuses for implementation of plans • Allocation of budget for marketing activities and co-financing arrangements; • System of motivation, contests and bonuses for sale representatives according to distribution,

number of customers, sales volume, implementation of plans • Motivation programs for directors and heads of retail outlets and outlets of HoReCa.

There is little efficiency in attempting to reach consumer’s directly. Particularity of the product category of fresh and frozen meat, consumers have a low knowledge of producers and brands. However, we believe that merchandising support and price incentives for retail sales outlets could be effective in promoting our brand to consumers. We also plan to actively participate in exhibitions and fairs.

Pricing We plan to set the prices for our end-products based on prevailing market prices. In the financial projections detailed in this memorandum we have assumed an average price of chilled meat in the form of pork sides of 178.0 ruobles (US$1.85) per kilogram, including value-added tax and the price of boned meat products is 272.0 roubles (US$4.18) per kilogram and 305.0 roubles (US$4.69) per kilogram for boneless meat including value-added tax. This corresponds to recent wholesale prices of Russian producers.

Competitive Advantages We plan to strictly observe the world’s leading production technologies and use foreign pedigree meat breeds to launch our pig breeding operation. Accordingly, Magnat will be able to provide Russian consumers with needed chilled pork of European quality but at substantially lower prices. Our location near large metropolitan areas makes it possible to easily reach markets with high demand for porkmeat. We believe we can bring products to market at a lower cost than competitors in more remote regions.

XII. FINANCING PROPOSAL

Investment Budget

The Magnat Chilled Pork Project has two implementation phases: 1) construction of the Pig Breeding Complex and 2) construction of the Slaughterhouse. Calculation of the project budget was formed according to estimated calculations of similar projects. Our cost projections in U.S. dollars are based on an exchange rate of 65.00 rubles per U.S. dollar.

Total investment budget of the project is US$186.7 million, including required equipment, initial pig breeding stock, personnel hiring and training and other costs required to initiate the project and successfully reach commercial operation. Pig Breeding Complexes construction and production initiation is expected to require US$149.7 million and the Slaughterhouse an additional US$28.5 million. A budget allocation of US$33.5 million is made to support the preparatory period, the project management function and launch of our planned wholesale porkmeat trading activities.

The largest element of our total budget is related to the construction of our Pig Breeding and Slaughterhouse facilities, which is expected to require US$152.9 million or 82.0% of the budget. Building and assembly work is expected to require approximately US$85.5 million or 45.8% of the total budget. The purchase and installation of equipment will require US$48.34 million or 25.9% of the budget. Construction cost estimates of the four units that complete the Pig Breeding Complex reflect an assumed 15% discount compared to estimates of a single unit facility.

Capital Requirement

The founder of Magnat have invested more than US$1.5 million in the project in the form of the project sites and cash for covering initial costs and for covering costs for designing works. The first site composed of 44.0 hectares has been purchased from Illyinski District and ownership documentation is available. The second site composed of 8.6 hectares and currently owned by Illyinski District has been reserved. One of largest banks in Russia is willing to finance up to 80% of the project investment budget, it is up to US$130.7 million, term sheet from the bank is available. The balance of the required capital of US$53.0-US$56.0 million could be sourced from a joint venture partners we look for. In according to Term Sheet from the bank the project could be financed by business units as separate subprojects. A total budget of first pig breeding complex is about US$48 – US$49 million. For this Unit an equity capital at value US$19.0- $US20.0 million is required from equity partner we look for.

Financial Risk Mitigation

The following assets could be used as collateral to off-set investor risk:

Shares of Magnat CJSC

Land assets transferred to Magnat by the founder as contributed capital

Rights to results of works under contracts

Additionally, it might be possible for the prime contractor to issue a bank guarantee on a specified value of the construction contract. The principal contractor might also provide a guarantee against substandard work or failure to meet scheduled deadlines.

XIII. PROJECTED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Projected Operating Revenue and Expenses Based on a series of assumptions related to market demand, production capacity, capacity utilization, prevailing wholesale and selling prices, recent materials costs, utility rates, transportion and distribution expense, salary and labor rates, and other factors impacting potential sales and expenses, we have projected revenue, expenses and profits for our breeding and slaughter operations. Details of production and expense assumptions can be found in Section VIII Production Economics. Projected sales, expenses and profits are shown in Table XIX below in summary format for the first four years of operations after construction of both facilities are completed and full operations have commenced. A more detailed profit and loss presentation can be found in Appendix V at the end of this document. We expect the Pig Breeding Complex and Slaughterhouse operations to begin generating positive cash flow beginning in the third year of the project. Estimated cash flows are shown in summary format in Tables XXI and XXII at the end of this section. A more detailed cash flow presentation can be found in Appendix V at the end of this document.

Meat Products Trading In addition to breeding pigs and producing chilled pork products we plan to engage in meat trading, acting as an intermediaty between large and small wholesalers of pork, beef, chicken and lamb. Unlike the breeding and slaughterhouse operations, meat trading activities are short-term in nature. We expect to turn over our investments in 21 days to 22 days. Trading activities will be undertaken by our professional marketing personnel who will also represent Magnat in the sale of our chilled meat products. Thus our trading activities will not require additional personnel or investments beyond our plans and projections for penetrating the pork meat market. We plan to invest US$5.0 million in working capital for our meat products trading operations. We believe profit margins may range from 2% to 8%. For our projections we have assumed a monthly rate of return of 4% and that our trading activity reaches a level US$100 million per year.

Costs Related to Financing While we believe the economic viability of the Magnat Chilled Pork Project supports debt financing for 100% of the capital requirement, to complete the financial projections shown in Table XIX on the preceding page, we assumed a mix of 20% equity and 80% debt financing. It is assumed in the model that interest payments begin in the second month following completion of construction and launch of operations. The assumed interest rate is 13.0% throughout the projection period. Repayment of the principal begins three years after the planned completion of construction and launch of operations in the Pig Breeding Complex. This corresponds to the twenty-six month after the planned completion of construction and the Slaughterhouse. Payments of the principal will be effected in equal shares over nine years for the project The annual investment schedule is present in Table XX below and by quarter in Appendix VI at the end of this document. The amount of the debt financing was calculated based on the following:

Cost of construction and commission of four units in the Pig Breeding Complex and a Slaughterhouse

Working capital requirements to achieve break-even point

Implementation of costs for organization and management of the project

Coverage of all required tax payments

Coverage interest payments

Tax Expenses Our financial performance model takes into account all tax payments in accordance with tax legislation of Russian Federation. The tax payments include: 1) consolidated social tax, 2) valued-added tax, 3) income tax; and 4) estate tax. The system of taxation for the Slaughterhouse is general. However, for the Pig Breeding Complex general taxation rules apply only during the first three years of the project. In the ninth month when the pig breeding project is expect to be operational, we expect the project to be converted to single agricultural tax wherein the share of tax payments will be calculated at 6% of total gross income.

Other Incomes and Expenses In addition to income of operations highlights of the project realization, the project could provide the following income:

Credit from the federal budget in the amount of 2/3 of the financing rate, if the loan is from a Russian bank

Credit rate from the regional budget in the amount of 1/3 of the financing rate, if the loan is from a Russian bank from regional budget,

Indemnity of value-added tax during a twenty-seven months period beginning in the ninth month and ending in the thirty-six month

XIV. PROJECT EVALUATION

Project Economic Indicators Economic indicators of the project are calculated for each of the businesses on a stand-alone basis to demonstrate the viability of each operation on its own. The evaluation of the Pig Breeding Complex is based on the implied proceeds as if our live pigs were sold in the wholesale market. We used an implementation period of twelve years and the assumption of credit at a rate of 13.0% per annuam. The assumed discount rate was 8.0% and the refinancing rate of 8,25%. The evaluation of the Slaughterhouse is based on an implementation period of eight years and an assumption of credit at a rate of 13.0% per annum. The assumed discount rate was 8.0% and a refinancing rate of 8.25%. To evaluate combined operation we used an implementation period of twelve years. The combined cash flow projections include our Pig Breeding Complex, Slaughterhouse as well as our proposed Meat Products Trading Activity and the flows of money related to the organization and operation of the project in entirety. The combined cash flow projection are shown in detail in Appendix VI of this report.

Project Risks Business Model Risk As an integrated operation we believe that the Magnat Chilled Pork Project has less business risk than some of the other pork producers in Russia. The risks of inadequate, high-cost or poor quality source materials in the form of tradeable pigs for the Slaughterhouse are at least partially mitigrated by our control of a pig breeding operation. We also have the ability to further integrate our operations into feed production through the construction of a grain elevator, animal feed farms, organic fertilizer and biogas. Development Stage Risk During the investment stage of the project we are subject to risk associated with rising costs for equipment, construction materials and energy. The costs could exceed our projections and lead to a gap in the financing requirement compared to the amount of capital that we are able to raise. Additionally, unforeseen costs could arise during the construction period. Nonetheless, we believe the risks of price increases is low. We have based our estimates on detailed plans and designs that have been tested in previous undertakings and believe that the risk of unforeseen costs is nominal. In any construction project there is a risk of default by contractors. We have selected only contractors that have been proven qualified and competent through experience. Our work with contractors will be covered by bank letters of credit. We have also researched alternative contractors that could be selected in the event that any contractor is not able to complete the project. There is also a risk that the project will not be completed in a timely manner and will not keep pace with our timetable. Failing to meet deadlines could increase the overall cost of the project. Our project management team has a lengthy history of agricultural project planning, design and implementation. We have also chosen contractors with proven track records to timely project completion. Production Phase Risk We have selected a top pedigree pig for the sows we plan to use as the initial breeding stock. There is a risk that in transporting the sows to a new environment that there might be loss of lives. There is also a risk of disease. We plan to purchase insurance to reduce the risk of loss in breeding stock and the associated costs of replacement. We plan to employ modern animal husbandry practices in our pig breeding operation, including the practice of early weaning of piglets. There is risk in the adoption of new methods and processes that could results in the loss of lives, failure to thrive or low weight gain. To minimize risk associated with animal husbandry we have chosen management team members and consultants with significant experience in these methods. We also plan to conduct training programs for department and section head at existing European plants of similar profile. We also plan to compensate production managers

with bonuses that are linked to production outcomes, aligning employee execution of best practices with compensation. There is a risk that selling prices will decline and our expenses will exceed sales. There is also a risk that we cannot sell the entire volume of chilled pork products anticipated from our Slaughterhouse. There is currently a shortage of porkmeat products in Russia. Thus, we believe the risk of selling price erosion is low. We also believe that demand is sufficiently keen to soak up our entire production volume. The cost of feed materials, water, electricity and other inputs to both our pig breeding and Slaughterhouse increase unexpectedly. Our business plan provides for a 12% annual increase in the cost of raw materials. Thus we believe that we have made adequate provisions for the cost increases. Operating Risk Several large Asian Swine Flu outbreaks took place in 2012 in Russia. This disease is difficult to control. At the pedigree pig unit Industrialny in Kuban, over 30,000 pigs were killed. Nearly 16,000 hogs at the Dankub unit in Krasnodar and over 33,000 hogs at the pedigree pig unit Zavolzhskoye of the agricultural holding Copitaniya in Tver Region were lost. Over 35 Asian Swine Flu incidents were recorded in 2012 in the South Federal District and one outbreak in Moscow Region. According to experts, the problem of Asan Swine Flue will continue to worsen and present a growing threat both to hog raising and the infrastructure of the meat and feed market. Government agencies responsible for ensuring the safety of food supplies may impose restrictions on the sale of pork meat. In December 2012, Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinarian and Vegetation Sanitary Supervision) imposed a ban on the sale of pork at markets in the Ivanovo Region in connection with Asian Swine Flue cases recorded in the settlement of Nikulskoye. Two quarantine zones were established: in Nikulskoye and in another fifteen population centers located within five kilometers. The second zone included the cities of Ivanovo, Kokhma, Teikovo, Shuya and surrounding districts. Only large retail chains that do not procure local meat were allowed to sell pork. But in January 2013 the quarantine was canceled and the situation was normalized. We intend to use one of the best world genetics to reduce this risk more over we plan to insure hogs. Rising Costs Feed crop failure due to drought could lead to increase in prices for animal feed. Feed accounts for nearly 70% in the cost structure of pork. Growing prices for feed will reduce overall profitability in the industry and further increase the deficit of the working capital of cattle breeders. But usually in Russia such situation could be in short terms. In long term perspective growth of prices on meat is faster then on animal feed. To secure this risk we plan have our own feed plant and granary. Competition from Imports and Substitutes Domestic pork production was unable to satisfy the growing demand in Russia, the import of meat and meat products has grown rapidly. An increase in imports could have a dampening impact on prices for wholesale and retail pork. To reduce this risk we plan to produce world quality products.
