Our business in Ukraine, as is the case with most of our new business in emerging markets, is<br />
primarily comprised of turn-key projects that bundle our commercial grain handling equipment<br />
with large diameter storage bins and are sold to large corporate farms, commercial grain handlers<br />
and port facilities. Our customers in Ukraine are predominantly well capitalized entities that either<br />
qualify for EDC insurance, direct financing or are able to pay cash in advance of shipment, and<br />
they generally transact a significant portion of their business in U.S. dollars and accordingly are<br />
largely insulated from volatility in local currencies. We remain in regular contact with our<br />
customers in the region and to date there has not been an indication that their capital expenditure<br />
plans have been substantially impacted by the recent events and accordingly we continue to ship<br />
product to Ukraine.<br />
In the six months ended June 30, <strong>2014</strong> sales to RUK were $12 million and as at June 30, <strong>2014</strong><br />
committed orders for future shipments to RUK approximate $53 million, the significant majority<br />
of which are in Ukraine. Sales in the first six months of <strong>2014</strong> were largely consistent with<br />
expectations and reflect AGI’s production scheduling as well as customer timelines. Of the $53<br />
million in committed orders, management estimates $15 million to $20 million will ship in fiscal<br />
2015. The majority of the 2015 shipments relate to a large port facility and reflect both the<br />
complexity of the project as the site continues to undergo design changes as well as delays related<br />
to financing structure that resulted in part from the unrest in Ukraine. Of the $53 million in<br />
committed orders, $20 million will be shipped based on existing export credit agency facilities or<br />
cash deposits while shipment of the remaining $33 million is subject to receipt of additional export<br />
credit agency support or cash deposits.<br />
The situation in Ukraine and the region is very fluid. Although at this time our customers have not<br />
changed their view with respect to our capital projects this may change if the situation worsens.<br />
Our business may also be adversely affected in the event of negative developments with respect to<br />
currency controls, trade sanctions, a deterioration in or expansion of the current political, social or<br />
military situation or if the current situation is protracted. Export Development Canada is currently<br />
reviewing new credit applications on a case-by-case basis and future business in the region may be<br />
constrained in the absence of export credit agency support. (See also, "Risk and Uncertainties -<br />
