In accordance with existing Ukrainian legislation tax losses can be carried forward and utilised indefinitely. As at 30 June 2014, management has not recognised deferred tax assets amounting to USD 8,917 thousand (31 December 2013: nil) in respect of tax losses carried forward attributable to tax deductible expenses recognised in other comprehensive income and deferred tax assets amounting to USD 111 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 340 thousand) in respect of tax losses carried forward attributable to tax deductible expenses recognised in profit or loss because of significant uncertainties regarding their realisation.

During the six months ended 30 June 2014, deferred tax benefit for the amount of USD 7,388 thousand was recognised in other comprehensive income (six months ended 30 June 2013: nil).

   21      Financial risk management 
   (a)     Overview 

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

   --    credit risk 
   --    liquidity risk 
   --    market risk 

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated interim condensed financial statements.

   (b)     Risk management framework 

The management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities.

   (c)     Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

   (i)        Trade and other receivables 

The exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the currently challenging economic circumstances. There is no significant concentration of receivables from a single customer. During the six months periods ended 30 June 2014 and 2013, 100% of revenue is attributable to sales transactions with customers in Ukraine and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

Management has no formal credit policy in place for customers other than regular tenants and the exposure to credit risk is approved and monitored on an ongoing basis individually for all other significant customers.

The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and loans receivable. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets.

   (ii)       Guarantees 

The Group believes that financial guarantee contracts entered into by the Group to guarantee the indebtedness of related parties are insurance arrangements, and accounts for them as such. In this respect, the Group treats the guarantee contract as a contingent liability until such time as it becomes probable that the Group will be required to make a payment under the guarantee.

As at 31 December 2013, the Company issued an irrevocable guarantee to UBS AG securing the repayment of the loan by a related party for the amount of USD 28,800 thousand and the interest accrued thereon and all losses incurred therewith. On 17 March 2014, the amount of the irrecoverable guarantee provided to UBS AG was reduced to USD 15,300 thousand plus interest accrued thereon and other specified costs related to loan facility provided by UBS AG. No provision for the related party's obligation under this guarantee is recognised in these consolidated interim condensed financial statements since management believes that as at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013 it is not probable that there will be an outflow of economic resources in relation to this guarantee.

   (iii)      Exposure to credit risk 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

In addition to the credit risk, the Group is exposed to the risk of non-recoverability of VAT receivable and prepaid expenses amounting in total to USD 11,509 thousand as at 30 June 2014 (unaudited) (31 December 2013: USD 16,716 thousand).

   (iv)       Impairment losses 

The ageing of trade and other receivables is as follows:

   (d)     Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including interest payments as at 30 June 2014 (unaudited):
