9 1.2 Research Methodology and AI platform The AI platform s algorithm is based on the following steps: 1. Data collection 2. Data cleaning, categorization and normalization 3. Building predictive models to generate market analysis and forecasts 4. Data-driving decision making 1. Data Collection A company-developed 'robot' is used at the data collection and processing stage; it receives the bulk of the data from a variety of sources that provide official statistical information, such as the UN, the World Bank, industry association sites and commercial databases which contain company data. However, over a third of the data from these sources has to be discarded due to its inherent unreliability: even data from the most reliable of sources frequently contains distortions and omissions. 2. Data Cleaning, Categorization and Normalization At the second stage, the company's AI platform eliminates any data anomalies and omissions using the 'smart' system of mathematical and statistical tools developed by our experts, in combination with the principles of machine learning. As a rule, the official world trade data presents the most problems. If necessary, the 'robot' calculates the mirror data for each value, processing in total over 1 million data values for each trade code. In addition, the script completes any mid-series gaps or omissions using an average value, the average rates of growth and the construction of a regression model. In some cases, a regression model is used to extrapolate the data series. The auxiliary indicators are then calculated and their initial values are evaluated and assessed for accuracy. This is achieved by calculating the confidence intervals using standard deviation and percentiles. Should the value appear as an anomaly, then the program repeats the entire recovery cycle and recalculates the values, depending on the figures that have been changed. It then performs the preparatory calculations and completes any series of missing values, using auxiliary factors and the data available used to calculate them. Copyright 2018 IndexBox, Inc.

10 Using the 'robot', therefore, we are able to source and eliminate problematic places even in the data obtained from official sources, data which other analysts have to consider as reliable. At the same time, our analysts carefully check the results, the necessary corrections are made and the program 'remembers' these changes by using machine learning, therefore, its accuracy is constantly increasing. 3. Building Predictive Models to Generate Market Analysis and Forecasts The use of AI and data science makes it feasible for the analysts to exploit their skills and experience to a much greater extent. Using data mining principles, it is possible to check and mutually compare the many factors that determine the dynamics of the market indicators; this allows the analysts to construct multifactor models, thereby generating market analysis and forecasts. During this process, over 50 external factors are checked (from the standard of living to the weather conditions) to assess their impact on the market indicators and to obtain the most reasonable market forecast. Moreover, to provide a full understanding of the trends of the market, this report provides a trend analysis, taking into account recent events in the product market, as well as in adjacent and related markets, the raw material markets and industries, which are the main demand creators for the product in question under the research analysis process. 4. Data-Driving Decision Making The use of the artificial intelligence platform makes it possible to find actionable insights and generate data-driven decisions for growing your business. The advantage of these solutions lies in the fact that they are based on hard and reliable data, obtained during the multi-cycle processes of the AI platform, which is constantly being updated and improved.

12 1.4 Glossary and Specific Terms This report uses the following abbreviations, economic and specific market terms: Apparent Consumption Market Volume Market Value Per Capita Consumption Exports Imports Trade Intensity Producer Prices the estimated amount of goods and services available for consumption in the particular market (country, region or the world). It is calculated as Consumption = Production + Imports Exports. In this report, the term consumption always means the apparent consumption. It could be calculated both in physical and value terms. In physical terms, it coincides with Market Volume; in value terms, it refers to Market Value. apparent consumption in physical terms. apparent consumption in value terms. average apparent consumption per person within a population. the volume or value of industry goods sold to foreign customers. Both physical and value terms can apply. the volume or value of industry goods supplied from foreign countries to be sold on the domestic market. Both physical and value terms can apply. the level of trade intensity is determined by ratios of exports to output and imports to apparent consumption. It could be estimated both in physical and value terms. In this report the trade intensity is graded as follows. for exports/revenue ratio: low is less than 5%, medium is 5% to 20%, and high is more than 20% for imports/apparent consumption ratio: low is less than 5%, medium is 5% to 25%, and high is more than 25%. the average unit value of manufactured goods, usually recorded on the first commercial transaction.

13 Importer/Exporter Prices Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) Production exports values are generally reported on an FOB (Incoterms 2010) price basis, while the basis of imports values is the CIF (Incoterms 2010) price. The exporter price in this report means the average unit value of exported goods on an FOB basis, which typically includes the logistics costs only to the port of departure. The importer price means the average unit value of imported goods on a CIF basis, which typically includes the costs of international delivery and insurance. Therefore, the reported imports and exports volumes usually do not coincide accurately. average annual growth rate of an item over a specified period of two or more years. In this report, it could be also mentioned as annual average growth and/or a per year growth. Production therefore includes the quantities of the commodity sold in the market (marketed production) and the quantities consumed or used by the producers (auto-consumption). When the production data available refers to a production period falling into two successive calendar years and it is not possible to allocate the relative production to either of them, it is usual to refer to the production data of that year into which the bulk of the production falls.
