The reduction in capital assets, coupled by the growth in floating assets, indicates that the degree of mobility of Com- tions 01.01.2008-01.01.2012 pany assets is increasing. On the whole, the balance-sheet value of the Company’s fixed assets grew over the analyzed period from RUB 989,407,000 to RUB 1,238,009,000, or by 25.1%. Throughout the entire period, the Company took steps to update its physical infra- structure – in 2010, it commissioned fixed assets worth a total of RUB 58,330,000, whereas in 2011, this figure stood at Analysis of the dynamic and struc- RUB 225,935,000. Over the whole period of analysis, the Company’s intangible-asset level dropped by a factor of almost 5.3 (as of ture of assets and liabilities, financial 01.01.2012, the value of intangible assets stood at RUB 39,000). As of 01.01.2008, the Company’s long-term financial investments had been fully discharged. The Company has no accounts payable, payments under which are expected more than 12 months after the reporting independence date. Short-term financial investments are in the form of short-term deposits at OAO Sberbank Rossii and OAO Rosselkhoz- bank, meaning that they can be viewed as assets with a high level of liquidity and low probability of loss. According to financial statements for the reporting period, funds at the The aforementioned figures evidence that over the analyzed period, the Company was supported by consistently high Company’s disposal grew from RUB 1,948,043,000 to RUB 2,252,658,000, or level of net equity and floating capital. by 15.6%. Net equity grew from RUB 1,240,605,000 to RUB 1,818,854,000, or by 46.6%. This net equity growth, coupled by a decline in liabilities, resulted in a significant improvement in the Company’s level of financial independence. Reserve capital over the analyzed period grew from RUB 31,440,000 to RUB 40,701,000, or by 29.5%, while accumulated retained profit increased from RUB 115,181,000 to RUB 234,641,000, more than doubling. This growth in ac- cumulated retained profit is associated with the Company’s profitable opera- tions over the period. For fiscal year 2008, the Company’s net profit totalled RUB 95,685,000, fiscal year 2009 – RUB 14,991,000, fiscal year 2010 – RUB 16,400,000, and fiscal year 2011 – RUB 50,813,000. Charter capital accounted for the greatest percentage of net equity structure throughout the reporting period. That said, charter capital itself grew from 58.5% on 01.01.2008 to 64.7% on 01.01.2012. Accounting for another significant percentage of net equity structure is surplus capital (29.6% on 01.01.2008, 20.2% on 01.01.2012). As of 01.01.2012, the aggregate percentage of charter, reserve and surplus capital stood at 87.1%. The aforementioned figures attest to the high level of stability and sustainability of the Company’s net equity. Over the reporting period, the Company resorted to attracting long- and short-term loans and credits, the amount of indebtedness under which grew from RUB 49,000,000 to RUB 110,213,000, or by a factor of 2.25. The Company’s accounts payable grew over the analyzed period from RUB 66,649,000 on 01.01.2008 to RUB 103,630,000 on 01.01.2012, or by 55.5%. Overall, analysis of the structure and dynamic of the Company’s liabilities points to a reduction in the stability level of its debts. Given its high level of

8 9 Liquidity analysis

Over the analyzed period, the Company’s level of fixed-term liquidity increased, as did its degree of solvency. Absolute liquidity decreased. Overall, as of 01.01.2012, the Company is supported by a sufficient level of current liquidity and solvency, while its overall liquidity can fairly be deemed high. Analysis of financial performance, business activity and profitability

Revenue earned by the Company in 2011 was 13.3% higher than in 2010 – growth was prompted by an increase in proceeds (by 15.9%) from core opera- tions under a relative decrease in total revenue. The Company’s expense dynamic corresponds to its earnings dynamic. Expenses incurred in 2011 grew in proportion to earnings growth, equaling 110.8% of all expenses incurred in 2010. Sales conducted over the analyzed period were profitable. Based on 2011 re- sults, the Company earned net profit in the amount of RUB 50,813,000. The foregoing analysis supports the conclusion that the financial standing of OAO Chelyabinsk Poultry Plant is rather stable, influenced by such factors as: • high degree of general financial independence; • full formation of capital assets using net equity, high level of financial independence in the formation of floating assets; • sufficiently high level of liquidity; • profitable Company operations in 2008-2011. Thus, headed for auction is a truly unique property. First, at this stage of pri- vatization, the market appearance of a practically 100% shareholding in a major company is in and of itself a rarity. This means that the buyer and future owner will be in a position to make unilateral decisions regarding management of the Company and the administration of its assets. Moreover, OAO Chelyabinsk Poultry Plant is one of the five largest poultry-production units in Russia, and a leader of agricultural production in the Ural Federal District. It essentially faces no regional competitors. With its existing client base and ongoing agreements with suppliers and consumers, the future investor will have the opportunity to commence operations across an essentially wide-open territory.”
