FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
· The performance of the Company's income-generating properties is almost not impacted by the overall decline in the Russian market and continues to demonstrate high profitability;
· The volatility of Rouble/US dollar exchange rate continues to be one of the main factors affecting the Company's operating results;
· Deferred part of the purchase price of Hermitage Plaza in the amount of US$ 100.9 million was paid in March 2016 resulting in tangible decrease in the Company's accounts payable;
· Strengthening of Rouble against US dollar during Q1 2016 led to increase of Arbat development property value which is carried at cost nominated in Roubles;
· NAV as of 31 March 2016 is slightly higher than as at 31 December 2015 (assuming that the real estate valuations done as of 31 December 2015 are unchanged).
