S.I.V. Holdings Ltd (hereafter referred to as the “Company” or “SIV”) currently operates one plant with 2 Mt/hour production capacity in Ivano-Frankivsk region

The Company has already chosen four additional locations for production sites and have preliminary agreements with local authorities to secure long-term development. Each location has a sufficient raw material base (one in Rivne and three in Ivano-Frankivsk region)

SIV benefits from the following advantages:− Excellent location: close proximity to European Union

Demand Currently, the market for pellets is moving through its

growth phase, supported by Europe, which has evolved into the largest consumer of wood pellets in the world. Consumption in 2008 is estimated to be over 8 million tons, with Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy being the largest consumers on the continent

Geographical location of Ukraine is one of the major factors, which contributes to business development with EU

EU production vs. demand projections (mln tons)

Project descriptionOverview of the Industry

EU It is estimated that production as well as demand will

double over the next 4-5 years and some industry experts forecast an annual growth of 25-30% globally over the next ten years

Supply Currently there is a clear playing field for pellet production

in Ukraine. According to some market experts, there are no more than 15 wood pellets production plants in Ukraine at this moment. Annual pellets production output in Ukraine is estimated to range from 20,000 to 200,000 tones, but is highly fragmented, poorly financed, and mostly relying on outdated technology

SIV aims to harness the vast amount of Ukrainian-based waste, and steward this renewable asset in a sustainable, and environmentally friendly way to provide for a cleaner and safer world

The Project further stipulates an increase in the Company’s production capacity to 40 plants by construction of additional 39 plants

The development plan envisions an increase in the total quantity of plants by nine units over the first 24 month period. As soon as the Company operates ten plants, it will

period. As soon as the Company operates ten plants, it will generate surplus cash that can be reinvested to meet future investment costs

The Company’s management also looks for further opportunities to merge with a well-managed, Ukrainian Agricultural Company in order to safeguard and diversify its raw material resource base for its growing production

Note 1: MBP - Mixed biomass pellets are a newcomer on the pellet market. Due to low production costs this biofuel became very attractive. MBP can be produced from straw, grains, various types of grass, leguminous plants, flowers, fruit and a mixture of these materials (with some wood added).

The source of raw materials for pellet production in Ukraine is closely connected with wood-working and agricultural industries

Wood-working output and waste in Ukraine Experts agree that throughout the different stages of

production process in the timber and wood-working industry, wood waste may comprise up to 50% of the output

Based on wood industry experts representation there were approximately 15 million cubic meters of liquid lumber

approximately 15 million cubic meters of liquid lumber harvested in 2008 (see Appendix for details). If smaller, ‘mom & pop’, sawmill operations are taken into account, this figure doubles

Agricultural Production output and agricultural residues in Ukraine Based on experts’ representation, there is 1.5-2.0 tonnes

of straw, on average, for each tonne of cereal and oilseed crop produced. Based on USDA data the crop production for 2009 is 39 million tonnes which produced from 65 to 77 million tonnes of straw, the majority of which was either shredded behind combines or burned in the field

An Agricultural Company harvesting 30 thousand hectares, with an average yield of 3 tonnes per hectare will

Project descriptionRaw material base (Residues)

hectares, with an average yield of 3 tonnes per hectare will potentially produce enough straw for producing approximately 90 thousand tonnes of pellets and leave one tonne of straw per hectare for soil conservation and replenishment

Thus, in a further measure to sustainably ‘backup’ the company with straw required for production of up to 500,000 tonnes of pellets, SIV would require Agriculturally cropped land of circa 160,000 hectares, which represents less than 0.5% of Ukraine’s arable land

Indicators of investment attractiveness: Taking into account that the Ukrainian government has

moved to support energy saving projects realized inUkraine by income tax exemption for 2009-2013, of whichSIV is party to we have also performed of two scenarios:− Scenario 1 – not tax for 5 years (most probable) − Scenario 2 – normal tax

Based on the above scenarios financial indicators are asfollows:− Project’s net present value amounts to EUR70 to

76.1million real discount rate 14.00− Enterprise value, when the Company will reach its

target production capacity is circa EUR136 million− Project payback period is 4.0 – 5.2 years− Discounted Project payback period is 4.8 – 5.6 years

Project financing It has been assumed that the ten production plants would

be built over a two-year period, with a total capital requirement of circa EUR10.7 – 14.5 million. In practice, because the plants function independently, the rate at which they are constructed can be easily adjusted according to the available funding

The plan is to finance the project with a combination of equity 30% and debt 70% as shown in the tables on the right
