BUSINESS COUNCIL (USUBC), OFFICIAL IMPORTER

U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC)
Washington, D.C., Monday, July 28, 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The executive committee of the U.S.-Ukraine
Business Council (USUBC), on behalf of the entire membership, is most
pleased to announce that Winner Imports Ukraine, Ltd., has been approved for USUBC membership. Winner Imports Ukraine, Ltd, is the official importer for Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo and Porsche.

During a Wimbledon championship in 1991 one of Ford's managers in the
United States suggested to John Hynansky, the owner of Ford dealerships
known under the name of Winner in Delaware and Pennsylvania, that he go
into a new business in Ukraine.

John Hynansky said he was not quite interested in buying another firm but he liked the idea of helping Ford start a network of dealerships in Ukraine.

Encouraged by this idea, John Hynansky first came to Ukraine in 1992,
shortly after the republic declared its independence. It was not long until he
came to love the country of his origin. His parents were born in Ukraine but
left the country in the late 30's and came to the United States.

At the end of 1992, Winner was designated as an authorized importer of
Ford Motor Co. in Ukraine. In the same year a Winner Ford dealership was
launched, which came to be the largest one in Ukraine at the time.

In 1997, a construction company 'Winner Construction' was founded. The
new firm built the first Ford showroom in Ukraine in the same year.

VOLVO, JAGUAR, LAND ROVER & PORSCHE ADDED

In 1999, the company's business was marked by an important event - Winner
became an authorized importer of Volvo in Ukraine.

In 2004, Winner procured a few new challenging offers from internationally
known manufacturers and became an authorized Ukrainian importer for
Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.

In 2006, Winner Automotive, the largest multi-brand concept dealership on
Eastern Europe, was opened. This $10,000,000 project reinforced Winner's
position as a leader in Ukrainian automotive market. 

35 THOUSAND VEHICLES SOLD, 50 DEALERSHIPS OPENED

Winner has been on the Ukrainian market for 15 years. During this time more than 35 thousand vehicles have been sold and over 50 modern dealerships have been opened.

Bohdan Kulchyckyj is General Director of Winner Imports Ukraine, Ltd. and Petro Rondiak is General Director of Winner Automotive.

BUSINESS INVESTMENT DRIVES UKRAINE'S INTEGRATION

Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration is first and foremost today being driven
by the private business community in Ukraine, Europe, and the United States.

"Ukraine's aspirations for Euro-Atlantic integration, to be a major member
of the world's community of strong, democratic, independent, prosperous,
private business sector driven nations, will be realized largely through the
present leadership and investments from the business community and then
hopefully with some real support later from the politicians and government
leaders," wrote Morgan Williams, SigmaBleyzer, who serves as President
of USUBC, in a recent article published by the "Welcome to Ukraine"
magazine.
