·; Average implied selling price per sq. meter on transfers incurred increased to RUB69.5 thousand (1H11: RUB66.6 thousand)

Operational and financial review for the 6 months for ended 30 June 2012

Operating overview

During the first six months of 2012, PIK Group continued to accelerate its development pipeline and landbank conversion. Overall, 20 new buildings (1H11: 15) were launched on the market, of which 16 were in PIK's core market in the Moscow Metropolitan Area ('MMA').

This includes a number of new residential projects:

1) "Grand Kuskovo", a mid-sized mass market residential project (over 130,000 sq. meters of sellable area) located on 15.3 hectares of land in the eastern part of Moscow

2) "Mironovskiy", a mid-sized mass market project (around 50,000 sq. meters of sellable area) located on 2.6 hectares of land in the northern-eastern part of Moscow;

3) "Buninskiy", a large-sized mass market residential project (over 1 million sq. meters of sellable area), located on 127 hectares of land in the territory of Grand Moscow, where PIK has initiated the first phase of construction.

4) "Michurinsky", a mid-sized business class residential project, where PIK acts as a co-investor at the project level;

5) "Piccadilly", a mid-sized mass market project (around 150,000 sq. meters of sellable area) located in the city of Novorossiysk.

As well as launching new projects, PIK introduced a number of innovative solutions targeting new customers, which included:

1) Offering high quality European fit outs for apartments in Moscow and selectively in Moscow and other regions;

2) Introducing the new "Flagman" series of buildings at "Grand Kuskovo" in Moscow;

3) Reaching new customers by opening own sales offices in Murmansk and working in cooperation with local real estate brokers in Siberia (Surgut, Norilsk, Irkutsk, Archangelsk);

4) Providing a 'Built-in kitchen', option for new customers (the first have been made available at the "Novokurkino" project).

5) Modernizing existing "KOPE" series buildings with new elevators for disabled people and implementing energy-saving lighting systems for common areas;

Overall, during the first six months of the year, 270,000 sq. meters of apartment space were sold, up by 17.9% year on year. Approximately 28% of real estate sales were mortgage backed, with the remainder comprising cash transactions.

Meanwhile, transfers to customers were lower at 138,000 sq. meters, reflecting an exaggeration in 2012 of the seasonal nature of PIK's business due to the phasing this year of PIK's construction program. This will see an even greater proportion of transfers taking place in the second half of the year than in prior years.

New sales and transfers to customers

(2) as per revenue recognition policy adopted under IFRS

Financial overview

Total revenues equaled to RUB15.0 billion (1H11: RUB22.8 billion) as sales of apartments reached RUB9.6 billion.

Source: IFRS

As described above, the dynamics of apartment sales is explained by 47% decrease in transfers to customers in the first half of 2012 to 138,000 sq. meters. In line with the Group's revenue recognition policy, sales on sq. meters sold are recognized only once the building is completed and the state acceptance act from the local authorities is granted. In line with PIK's current construction program for 2012, the majority of completions (i.e. transfers to customers) are expected to take place in the second halve of the year.

Reflecting the ongoing market and sales price growth, the implied average sales price, continued growing to RUB69.5 thousand per sq. meters.

Gross profit equaled RUB3.2 billion (1H11: RUB3.6 billion), whilst gross profit margin grew by 5.2%year-on-year to 21.2% (1H11: 16.0%).

Source: IFRS

Cost remained under close control with total general administrative, selling & distribution expenses in line with last year at RUB1.6 billion (1H11: RUB1.6 billion). As expenses are borne over the reporting period, the uneven recognition of sales revenue this year resulted in PIK's adjusted EBITDA margin for the period increased slightly compared to last year. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to RUB2.2 billion (1H11: RUB3.0 billion), despite margins hitting 14.5%, up by 1.4%, while net income in H1 fell to RUB (-0.9) billion (1H11: RUB3.2 billion).

Source: IFRS

Total assets grew to RUB134.2 billion (December 31 2011: RUB128.3 billion) as the Group's construction activities continued to accelerate and new construction works were initiated. Accelerating construction activities were funded purely thorough customer deposits, total debt remained flat at RUB43.2 billion.

Outlook

The economic outlook remains stable and we are confident of continued progress in 2012. The second half of the year will see building revenues as new buildings are completed and the transfer of apartments to customers gathers pace. PIK is therefore pleased to reiterates its 2012 full-year guidance on new sales to customers within the range of 600,000-650,000 sq. meters with corresponding total cash collections within the range of RUB62-67 billion.
