Currency risk arises when commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency. Most of the Group's financial assets are denominated in the functional currency.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. On June 30(th) , 2012, cash and cash equivalent financial assets amounted to US$154.672 (2011:US $18.504).

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings amounting to US$15.813.857 (2010: US$16.343.535) as they are issued at variable rates tied to the Libor. Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and evaluates hedging options to align the Group's strategy with the interest rate view and the defined risk appetite. Although no hedging has been applied for the reporting period, such may take place in the future if deemed necessary in order to protect the cash flow of a property asset through different interest rate cycles.

The Group's exposures to financial risk are discussed also in note 4.

27.6 Credit Risk Management

The Group has no significant credit risk exposure. The credit risk emanating from the liquid funds is limited because the Group's counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Credit risk of receivables is reduced as the majority of the receivables represent VAT to be offset through VAT income in the future.

27.7 Liquidity Risk Management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which applies a framework for the Group's short, medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements.The Treasury function of the Group manages liquidity risk by preparing and monitoring forecasted cash flow plans and budgets while maintaining adequate reserves. The following table details the Group's contractual maturity of its financial liabilities. The tables below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities including interest that will be accrued.

28. Events after the end of the reporting period

Financial Restructuring-EBRD

As per the Terminal Brovary EBRD loan restructuring agreed by the old management a month prior to the Company's restructuring in H1 2011, several payments are coming due in the next couple of months. The Group has entered into discussions with the Bank, aiming at matching the revenue inflows with the loan payment outflows.

Settlement Agreement-UVK

In late July 2012, the Group has proceeded with an amicable settlement with UVK, a logistics company that had originally signed a contract to rent out 100% of Terminal Brovary. Due to the fact that the terminal was not delivered on time in July 2009, UVK tabled several claims and following negotiations an agreement was signed entitling them to a US$3m payment, while at the same time UVK received as security a mortgage over AISI Bella Odessa plot. Following a payment of US$1.500.000 in August and November 2009 the Group did not proceed in paying the rest and thus UVK enforced the mortgage on Bela, a fact that resulted in a protracted legal battle. In July 2012 UVK and the Group agreed to settle out of court for US$1.000.000 whilst the Group had provided for the whole US$1.500.000 in its accounts. The Group paid US$300.000 in cash whilst the rest is guaranteed via a bank guarantee letter, with the letter itself being secured by mortgaging certain of the plots of the Group a well as a cash collateral of US$200.000.

Liquidation request by AISI Realty Capital LLC

On 23/7/2012 the Company was notified that the ex manager, AISI Realty Capital LLC, has initiated a liquidation process in Cyprus claiming the remaining amount of US$225.000 resulting from the settlement agreement signed in July 2011 as amended in April 2012. In this claim, AISI Realty Capital LLC is being represented by Mr. Besik Sikharulidze, who had been a member of the Board of Directors of the Company until 30/8/2012. The Company has initiated its defence strategy in respect thereof, and expects the issue to be resolved prior to any court hearing.

Loan Repayment AISI Capital Ltd- AISI Bella LLC

As part of the Group's restructuring process, AISI Bella has repaid the principal and interest of a loan (amounting in total to US$26.851.335) granted by AISI Capital Ltd, the Group's financing Company. As a result, outstanding loans to AISI Capital Ltd by the Ukrainian subsidiaries at the end of August 2012 amount to US$62.4m, including interest payable.

Taxes paid-AISI Bella LLC

In August AISI Bella has paid an amount of US$133.984 related to property taxes for the period from 1 January 2008 till 30 March 2009, that had been previously provided in the Company's accounts.
