Growth Knows No Limits
Kovelmoloko is a main asset of the Western Milk Group (WMG), accounting for 33% of the group’s total output. WMG is one of the top domestic dairy producers with a 4.1% market share in 2006. WMG has a wide distribution network and is represented in all parts of Ukraine. KMOL’s sustainable financial growth, healthy investments in the plant’s modernization, improving staple access and the company’s exposure to an unsaturated market niche of functional products will enrich the value of Kovelmoloko and drive the market share price up. We recommend BUYing for KMOL with a fair price of USD 1.02.

Slavutych & Sun InBev Ukraine
The Ukrainian beer market expanded 18% in terms of output in 2007. Taking into account the low beer consumption per capita (61 lt) compared to average European (90 lt), we see the potential for growth on the Ukrainian beer market and are initiating coverage of two traded breweries, Sun InBev Ukraine [SUNI] and Slavutych [SLAV]. We believe that SUNI‘s excellent corporate governance standards and strong fundamentals will be key growth factors for SUNI’s market price. Moreover SLAV sustained earnings’ recovery lead us to believe, that SLAV is undervalued. We issue BUY recommendations for both stocks with a fair price of USD 0.945 for SLAV and a fair price of USD 0.14 for SUNI.
