As a result of this change, the bottom-line in the statement presents overall profit of the RAO UES Group including minority interest. Net profit previously presented in the statements of operations for 2004 corresponds, in the new format of the statements of operations, to the line ‘‘profit for the period attributable to shareholders of RAO UES’’. 107 As at December 31, 2006 2005 2004 (in millions of RUB) Selected Consolidated Balance Sheet Data Assets Total current assets, of which . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 279,536 225,703 190,595 Cash and cash equivalents . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54,101 37,125 35,844 Total non-current assets, of which . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,259,017 992,196 936,403 Property, plant and equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,217,526 955,132 907,303 Non-current assets classified as held for sale . . . . . . . . . . 4,883 — — TOTAL ASSETS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,543,436 1,217,899 1,126,998 Equity and liabilities Total equity, of which . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,026,750 860,187 841,284 Total equity attributable to the shareholders of RAO UES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 717,531 620,143 613,651 Minority interest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 309,219 240,044 227,633 Total non-current liabilities, of which . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 260,028 107,518 93,173 Non-current debt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 107,777 38,792 20,047 Deferred tax liability. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 136,496 55,919 56,091 Total current liabilities, of which . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 256,028 250,194 192,541 Taxes payable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 41,965 59,045 42,727 Current debt and current portion of non-current debt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101,935 88,701 65,949 Liabilities directly associated with non-current assets classified as held for sale . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 630 — — Total liabilities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 516,686 357,712 285,714 TOTAL EQUITY AND LIABILITIES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,543,436 1,217,899 1,126,998 Year ended December 31, 2006 2005 2004 (in millions of RUB, except percentages) Non IFRS measures Adjusted EBITDA 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 165,070 146,963 148,961 Adjusted EBITDA margin 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18.4% 19.2% 21.9% (1) Adjusted EBITDA represents profit before finance costs, profit tax, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment charges and gains from reversal of impairment. The RAO UES Group presents Adjusted EBITDA because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the power industry. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and prospective investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the RAO UES Group’s operating results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are as follows: (a) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of financing costs, which can be significant and could further increase if the RAO UES Group incurs more debt, on its operating performance. (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of profit tax on the RAO UES Group’s operating performance. (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment charge and reversal of impairment on the RAO UES Group’s operating performance. (d) Other companies in the power industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or may use it for different purposes than the RAO UES Group does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The RAO UES Group compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its IFRS operating results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the RAO UES Group’s operating performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the RAO UES Group’s operating performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to profit, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the RAO UES Group’s liquidity. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to the RAO UES Group to invest in the growth of its business. (2) Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues over a given period. 108 Year ended December 31, 2006 2005 2004 (in millions of RUB, except percentages) Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation Profit for the period . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 149,518 25,377 42,850 Add: Profit tax charge. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 116,562 29,158 20,097 Finance costs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15,669 18,009 16,835 Depreciation of property, plant and equipment. . . . . . . . 72,950 69,960 65,492 Impairment charge . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39,327 4,459 3,687 Reversal of impairment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The RAO UES Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differ in certain significant respects from U.S.GAAP and RAS. For a discussion of certain differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS as they relate to the RAO UES Group, see ‘‘Summary of Certain Differences Between U.S.GAAP and IFRS’’. For a discussion of certain differences between IFRS and RAS as they relate to the RAO UES Group, see ‘‘Summary of Certain Differences between IFRS and RAS’’ included in Exhibit II. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting the RAO UES Group’s current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this Information Statement. Overview RAO UES was incorporated on December 31, 1992, following the privatization of certain electricity power generation, transmission and distribution assets formerly under the control of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. Nuclear generation stations were not transferred to RAO UES. The RAO UES Group consists of RAO UES and its related subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities. For details of the RAO UES Group’s significant subsidiaries as at June 30, 2007, see ‘‘RAO UES — Organizational structure’’. RAO UES is the largest power holding company in the Russian Federation. In 2006, the RAO UES Group generated approximately 70% of all electricity and approximately one-third of all heat output in Russia. As at December 31, 2006, the RAO UES Group had approximately 72% of the installed electric capacity in Russia and approximately 33% of Russia’s total installed heat capacity. The RAO UES Group owns approximately 96% of Russia’s electric transmission lines. In respect of the RAO UES Group’s financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, its operations are divided into the following main business segments: • the ‘‘Generation segment’’ consists of companies responsible for electricity and heat generation. Heat is sold within the regions in which the companies operate at tariffs set by regional tariff authorities within the limits approved by the FST. The great majority of electricity is sold within the regions and through the wholesale electricity market based on tariffs set by regional tariff authorities and the FST. With the development of a competitive wholesale electricity market, an increasing portion of the electricity is expected to be sold at market (unregulated) prices. • the ‘‘Transmission segment’’ principally comprises RAO UES, the FSK and the System Operator, which maintain and operate the Unified National Energy Grid and perform electricity dispatch functions. The tariffs for transmission services in the Unified National Energy Grids are set by the FST. • the ‘‘Distribution segment’’ consists of companies that are responsible for the delivery of electricity through the low voltage distribution grids at tariffs set by regional tariff authorities. The majority of the distribution fees is charged by the distribution segment to the retail segment. • the ‘‘Sales segment’’ consists of companies that mainly purchase electricity on the wholesale market and sell it to the final customers at tariffs set by regional tariff authorities. The cost of sales of the retailing segment includes power purchased from the generation segment, the transmission fees charged by the transmission segment (where applicable) and the distribution fees charged by the distribution segment (where applicable). • the ‘‘Energos segment’’ consists of companies that have not begun or are in the process of restructuring and are responsible for the generation, distribution and sale of heat and electricity. As a result of restructuring, the size of this segment has been greatly reduced in favor of other segments. 110 • the ‘‘Unallocated’’ consists of numerous other segments including construction, repair, export sales and foreign companies of the RAO UES Group. Relations with the State As at August 1, 2007, the Russian Federation owned a 52.68% interest in RAO UES (22,715,371,537 RAO UES Shares, consisting of 22,569,848,313 RAO UES Ordinary Shares and 145,523,224 RAO UES Preferred Shares). The Russian Federation is involved in the RAO UES Group’s operations through: • its representatives on the Board of Directors of RAO UES; • its tariff regulations within the wholesale and retail electricity and heat markets; • its control over and approval for the RAO UES Group companies’ investment programs; and • its antimonopoly regulation. The FST regulates electricity and heat tariffs by setting maximum electricity and heat tariff levels for final consumers, wholesale market and infrastructural entities (electricity transmission through the high voltage grids), and the regional tariff authorities set tariffs for electricity and heat for final consumers and tariffs for electricity distribution through the low voltage grids on regional retail markets. Although currently there exists free trading of limited volumes of electricity, which volumes are expected to increase in each year until 2011, when the wholesale electricity market is expected to be fully liberalized, the great majority of electricity and heat sales takes place on the regulated market at set tariffs. As a condition to privatization in 1992, the Government of the Russian Federation imposed an obligation on RAO UES Group entities to provide connection for the supply of electricity and heating to customers in the Russian Federation. The investment programs of the companies in the RAO UES Group are subject to approval by state regulatory bodies. Approval of the investment programs of RAO UES, the FSK and the System Operator is within the competence of the Ministry of Industry and Electricity, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation and FST. The regional tariff authorities approve the investment programs of regional distribution and sales companies. The regulatory framework for the electricity industry includes regulations, as well as legislation relating to natural monopoly regulation. For a further discussion on the industry and the RAO UES restructuring see ‘‘Industry Overview’’ and ‘‘RAO UES’’. Restructuring In accordance with the Concept of RAO UES Strategy, and considering the policies of the Russian Federation in respect of the process of the reform of the electricity sector, in September 2007 RAO UES completed the first stage of its reorganization, which included the spin-offs of OGK-5 and TGK-5. The Spin-Offs described in this Information Statement constitute the second and final stage of the reorganization of RAO UES. When the Spin-Offs are completed, which is envisaged in July 2008, RAO UES will cease its activity. All businesses and assets of the RAO UES Group will continue to be operated until they are sold or distributed to shareholders. Accordingly, the management considered it appropriate to prepare the financial statements as at December 31, 2007 on a going concern basis and no adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities are to be made as at that date to reflect the proposed reorganization. For a further discussion on the industry and the RAO UES restructuring see ‘‘The Spin-Offs’’, ‘‘Industry Overview’’ and ‘‘RAO UES’’. Certain factors affecting the results of operations Regulation of heat and electricity tariffs Compared with other Western European countries, the Russian Federation has one of the lowest electricity tariffs in the world due to the current pricing regime, which is based on a ‘‘cost plus’’ approach. 111 As a result, the present low electricity tariffs are, to a large extent, due to the set domestic gas prices that remain substantially below the global average. There is a cross-subsidy system in the Russian Federation which results in the setting of lower tariffs for some consumers groups and higher tariffs for others. Usually electricity tariffs are effectively subsidized for domestic utility users at the expense of industrial consumers. Funds received from industrial consumers and available for subsidy are a form of social assistance provided from industrial consumers to domestic utility users, whose electricity tariffs are set below those of industrial consumers. The impact of increases in fuel prices The RAO UES Group utilizes large volumes of natural gas and coal, with gas being largely supplied by the state-owned gas monopoly, Gazprom. The majority of the RAO UES Group’s total natural gas requirements in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was supplied by Gazprom under pre-agreed quotas established for each generation unit within the total quota established for a region in which such generation unit operates at regulated prices determined by the FST, with the remainder being purchased at non-regulated prices, including from independent gas producers. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, fuel costs comprised 32.7%, 31.8%, and 31.2%, respectively, of the RAO UES Group total operating expenses. The prices for fuel types other than gas, such as coal and fuel oil, are not subject to state regulation. Until recently, the Russian government has kept gas prices relatively low. In 2006, the regulated gas purchase price for electric power plants was RUB 1,550.7 per 1,000 cubic meters compared to an average of RUB 720.9 per ton for coal. Governmental Regulation ‘‘On the Improvements of the State Regulation of Gas Prices’’ No. 333, dated May 28, 2007 envisages that from 2011 all Gazprom gas will be sold at prices calculated in accordance with the formula to be approved by the FST that is intended to ensure the equal profitability of domestic and export sales. Any significant increase in gas prices would likely lead to an increase of electricity tariffs in the regulated sector as a result of the ‘‘cost-plus’’ method for establishing such tariffs. In the short-term, the generation companies in the RAO UES Group have only a limited ability to switch from gas to alternative cheaper fuels, such as coal, because it would in many instances require significant changes to generation equipment, and due to the lack of adequate transportation facilities and storage, environmental controls. However, the use of coal may be possible in certain generating companies in the RAO UES Group in the medium-term if investments are made in the construction of coal-fired electricity plants. Seasonality The RAO UES Group’s sales of electricity and heat are influenced by both the seasons of the year and the relative severity of the weather. Typically, revenues from heating are concentrated within the months of October to March. A similar, although less intense, concentration of electricity sales occurs within the same period. The seasonality of electricity and heat production has a corresponding impact on the usage of fuel. Furthermore, during the periods of lower production from April to September, there is an increase in the expenditures on repairs and maintenance. As a result, the RAO UES Group faces higher working capital requirements during this period of the year. Russian macroeconomic trends Almost all of the RAO UES Group’s operations are based in the Russian Federation and, as a result, Russian macroeconomic trends, including the overall growth in the economy and in the markets in which the RAO UES Group operates, significantly influence the RAO UES Group’s performance. The table below summarizes certain key macroeconomic indicators relating to the Russian economy in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the first six months of 2007. 112 |
