CEO’s address to shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Results for 2005 in the Russian civil industry force a new assessment of our busi- ness outlook and working practices. After 12–14% annual growth in the number of carried by Russian airline com- panies during 2001-2004, passenger traffic growth in 2005 was only 3.9%, and most of that came from international charter and not from regular carrying. Passenger traffic on the Russian domestic market grew by only 1.8%. These figures reflect stagnation in the air- line industry, which had inevitable impact on our business. Causes of the stagnation are well-known: headlong growth of fuel prices, expansion of for- eign carriers on the Russian market, growth of prices for services of monopolistic compa- 4 nies in the aviation business, as well as administrative reform which is still continuing with respect to our sector. Aeroflot was seriously affected in 2005 by suspension of operations with Il-96-300 aircraft, but still managed to carry out all of its duties to passengers. In such difficult conditions, where the “rules of the game” were changing almost monthly, Aeroflot had to pursue an extremely flexible policy, reacting appropriately to negative factors as they arose and taking measures to minimize the consequences. The company often found itself forced into “emergency management” techniques, adapting traffic capacities and schedules and making non-standard decisions in order to deal with non-standard situations. These extra efforts have been rewarded. The company is in a strong position. We have drasti- cally reduced the Company's debt portfolio. We have been successful in limiting growth of costs and ensuring financial stability. Profit of Aeroflot Group in 2005 was USD 189.8 million. Investor confidence in Aeroflot is demonstrated by rapid growth of Aeroflot's share price and market capitalization, offering satisfaction to our shareholders. Several events in 2005 deserve special mention in view of their importance for Company development. First and foremost, construction work finally started last July on a new terminal at Sheremetyevo . The work is proceeding to schedule, and we are resolutely committed to completing and commissioning Sheremetyevo-3 in November 2007. Final completion of the project will give a fully-fledged modern air hub and raise competitive- ness of Aeroflot. The new terminal will unite internal, international and CIS carrying, and will realize Russia's transit potential. We view the new terminal and the existing international ter- minal, Sheremetyevo-2, as a unified entity. Important decisions were taken in 2005 on acquisition of new, highly efficient aircraft for our fleet. We have contracted 12 new craft in the A320/321 family (five A320s and seven A321s). Seven of the new planes will join our fleet this year and the others at the start of 2007. We have also contracted two B767s, which will arrive this year. The expansion program is ongo- ing: the Company fleet of B767s will be increased this year and in 2007; we will invest in a new generation of high-quality long-haul aircraft to enter service in 2010-2011; and we will continue to make extensive use of B767s until aircraft of the new generation are commis- sioned. We have contracted 30 short-haul RRJs (Russian Regional Jets), built by , for short-haul purposes. These planes will start to enter the company fleet in 2008. Aeroflot continued to implement new technologies last year, and the main achievement was installation of the Sabre ticket sales and booking system. Preparations for launch of Sabre lasted over a year and there were teething problems. These problems have been resolved. We rate installation of Sabre as a success and it has given us a number of clear competitive advantages. We are introducing Internet bookings, and will soon be able to accept ticket pay- ment by credit card over the Internet. CEO’s address to shareholders

These are steps on the way to introduction of e-ticketing. Aeroflot already has the technical capabilities and software to launch a full system of e-ticketing. But, unfortunately, this cannot be done without relevant steps by government to create a suitable legal and regulatory tax framework. We are doing our best to speed up this process. In October 2005 Aeroflot successfully underwent the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), becoming the first Russian compa- ny to receive the IOSA stamp of approval. We worked consistently and methodically in 2005 to achieve one of Aeroflot's main strategic objectives — membership of the SkyTeam global . Much difficult work was carried out to make our procedures compatible with SkyTeam tech- nologies. We reached a number of codesharing agreements with SkyTeam members, agreed joint use of VIP lounges and did much to combine our frequent flyer programs. Aeroflot ensured that it meets SkyTeam standards in IT, conduct of business, air- port service and other areas. The lessons of 2005 have made it clear that we are living in a new economic reality, characterized by high prices for aviation fuel and increasing competition. We are confident that the Company board has made the right decision in choosing a development strategy, which positions Aeroflot as a network airline and focuses on expansion of transit carrying. We believe that this strategy is the most promising for Group development. Aeroflot's budget and business plan, approved at the end of last year, call for expansion of operations and revenue in 2006. Achievement of the plan requires faster growth of revenues compared with costs. The Company has analyzed various scenar- ios, all assuming a highly competitive environment in 2006, and has taken appropriate decisions for optimization of the route network. 5 Increase of passenger traffic compared with 2005 will be concentrated in regions, which offer the highest margins. The Company has reserves for improving key indicators: the Sabre ticketing system will be used to improve revenue manage- ment, and performance will be helped by membership of the SkyTeam alliance and high quality of service to our passengers. Steps to improve business efficiency in 2006 will include launch of operations by the new 100% subsidiary, Aeroflot-Cargo, and creation of a charter airline subsidiary. We are also pursuing plans to acquire more assets of regional airlines inside Russia. Meeting tough challenges is something Aeroflot is used to. We have met them and overcome them by intensive work, carried out professionally and responsibly by our thousands of loyal staff. We have no doubt that our strategy is the right one, and that it is being properly implemented. The current state of the global airline market poses new challenges, but I am convinced that Aeroflot's integrated team of professionals is a match for them and will again prove capable of working and competing in the toughest conditions Leadership has to be fought for in any industry, and we are ready for a long-term sustained effort to secure such leadership. The international air transport market was in retreat during 2005, but an advance is sure to follow and Aeroflot will be in the vanguard.

Sincerely yours, Valery Оkulov Aeroflot annual report 2005

Implementing Company Strategy: Results in 2005 and Priority Tasks for 2006

In 2005 Aeroflot continued its progress towards the strategic goal of building a world-class airline. Management and staff were focused on strengthening positions on the Russian air transport market, creating conditions for steady growth in the future, ensuring a competitive product, raising operating efficiency and developing the Company's personnel management system. Strengthening market positions

Major increase of fuel prices in 2005, a slower growth trend on the Russian air transport market and limited scope for acquisition of more efficient aircraft led Aeroflot to focus on expanding its presence on the domestic air transport market. Increase of domestic business 10 volumes was achieved by organization of joint operating and marketing activities with the Company's airline subsidiaries, Aeroflot-Nord and Aeroflot-Don. The Group was thus able to increase its domestic carrying much faster than average market growth, both in terms of pas- senger traffic and passenger turnover. Creating conditions for long-term growth

Aeroflot continued to work on key strategic projects aimed at achieving long-term growth of Company value. The project for restructuring and expansion of the Company's aircraft fleet involves gradual decommissioning of the older generation of aircraft and acquisition on leasing terms of mod- ern, fuel-efficient aircraft, which can compete with fleets of other international airlines. The Company has held negotiations with manufacturers and aviation leasing compa- nies, and has prepared deals to complement its medium-haul fleet with craft from the A320 family and to acquire B767 aircraft for the long-haul fleet. A tender has been held and a con- tract has been signed for acquisition of regional planes, and the process of choosing the best long-haul aircraft for a future stage of fleet restructuring has also begun. The Company has reached the investment stage in its project to build a new terminal - Shermetyevo-3 — at Shermetyevo Airport. The new terminal will offer passenger service that matches standards at leading international , convenient transfers between Aeroflot's domestic and international routes, and connections between Aeroflot routes and a large num- ber of other airline routes, as well as attracting transit passenger flows between and Europe/America. ENKA development company was chosen in 2005 as general contractor for the project, the project's technical and financial parameters were agreed with Sheremetyevo International Airport, financing of the first stage was organized, and construction work actu- ally began. Another strategically important project for Aeroflot is accession to the SkyTeam internation- al airline alliance. SkyTeam is the second biggest international alliance, and includes such air- lines as Air France-KLM, Alitalia, Delta, , Korean Air, AeroMexico, Czech Airlines and . Joining the alliance will make Aeroflot more competitive, increase revenues, and reduce costs thanks to network optimization, uniform service stan- dards, brand globalization, unification of customer loyalty schemes, and creation of synergies in procurement, and technical and ground service. An agreement was signed in September 2004 on Aeroflot's commitment to the SkyTeam alliance and measures were taken in 2005 to ensure fulfilment of requirements, which the alliance imposes on all its members, and to begin cooperation with alliance members in all business aspects. Implementing Company Strategy: Results in 2005 and Priority Tasks for 2006

Guaranteeing a competitive product

Aeroflot is developing a step-by-step program to improve its product quality. In 2005 the Company focused efforts on improve- ment of in-flight service for passengers: long-haul B767 aircraft are being equipped with lie-flat seats and a new system of in-flight entertainment is being installed. New services are also being developed for other passenger classes. In 2005 Aeroflot began to install the first stage of its electronic booking and registration technologies, and a system of Internet ticket booking was piloted. The Company introduced WAP-services that transmit important information to passengers via mobile tele- phone. Raising operating efficiency

The Company prioritizes improvement of its operating efficiency, importance of which has grown in parallel with growth of fuel prices. Optimization of the route network and marketing improvements have helped Aeroflot to achieve significantly better returns on its air carrying: passenger yield rose by 14.3% in 2005 to 8.13 cents/RPK and cargo yield rose by 23 % to 28.3 cents/ton kilo- metre. Passenger load factor and weight load factor remained close to the in 2004. The Company used its assets efficiently: the average percentage of the fleet in good working order rose from 71% to 73% and daily average flight hours per aircraft increased by 0.3 hours to 7.6 hours. The Company also made greater use of fuel-efficient aircraft: daily average flight hours per foreign-made aircraft rose by 10.8% to 11.8 hours and daily average flight hours for 11 Russian-made aircraft increased by 4.2%. Aeroflot continues to work on cost reduction, encouraging staff to take a major role in optimizing business processes. However, unit costs grew by 13.4% in 2005 compared with 2004, most of the growth being accounted for by increased spending (+44%). Management efforts ensured that all other costs of providing services and maintaining Company structure were kept at the levels of previous years. Developing the personnel management system

Aeroflot made a special effort last year to develop corporate culture, viewing it as a key factor for successful implementation of Company strategy. Aeroflot's corporate philosophy depends on shared values among Company staff and suitability of those val- ues for achieving Company goals. Management decisions should be implemented to the letter, business processes and staff should be oriented to the customer. In 2005 every member of Aeroflot's staff received a copy of the Aeroflot Staff Member's Book, setting out the Company's goals and main business principles. The first stage of the effort to instil corporate philosophy includ- ed trainings, seminars, and round tables, at which staff discussed the Company's key concepts and learnt about corporate cul- ture. Middle and senior managers were given the opportunity to study modern techniques of personnel management based on corporate values. Tasks for 2006

The priority tasks for Aeroflot in 2006 are: • to create the basis and essential conditions for growth of Company value; • rapid growth and increase of market share by companies in Aeroflot Group; • economically efficient carrying; • measures to restructure and expand the aircraft fleet; • implementation of the plan for construction of Sheremetyevo-3 terminal; • entering the SkyTeam alliance and taking part in its work; • introducing new passenger classes on all Aeroflot routes.

Air Traffic Market

Global air traffic market

Conditions were tough for the airline industry worldwide in 2005. Total losses in the industry were USD 6 billion. The main cause of this critical situation is growth of prices for jet fuel. Cost increases have forced airlines to seek new ways of saving money, including large-scale staff redundancies. Airlines in Asia achieved overall profit of USD 2.9 billion in 2005, European carriers showed USD 1.8 billion profit, but the US air transport industry suffered losses totalling USD 10.8 billion. In September 2005 two leading US airlines, Delta and Northwest, declared themselves bank- rupt and sought court protection from creditors. Two other big US companies, and US Airways, underwent the same process in 2002. So four of the six biggest US airlines are now officially insolvent. However, US law allows a stay of execution in recovery of debts and the airlines are continuing to operate at present. US antitrust law has prevented companies from improving efficiency via consolidation, but 14 this process has taken off in Europe. has taken over bankrupted Swissair, Air France has bought KLM, now owns Slovak Airlines, and the UK's Virgin Express has signed a memorandum on merger with SN Bruxelles Airlines. On the positive side, air passenger turnover worldwide increased by 7.6% in 2005 and pas- senger load factor rose by 0.9 of a percentage point to 75.1%. IATA forecasts slowdown of traffic growth to 5-6% in 2006, but higher ticket prices and lower payroll costs will help to improve the situation for airlines. Nevertheless, the industry will not emerge from its crisis in 2006: IATA expects airlines to show overall losses of USD 2.2 billion this year. The passenger traffic market in Russia

Russian airlines carried 35.1 million passengers in 2005 (3.9% more than in 2004), passen- ger turnover was 85.8 billion passenger kilometers (3.4% increase y-o-y), and cargo and mail traffic was 630,700 tons (3.7% less y-o-y). Effect of higher ticket prices, due to increased cost of jet fuel, was most noticeable on regular routes. Increase of Russian airline passenger turnover on regular routes was less than 2%, while growth of passenger turnover on relative- ly inexpensive non-regular flights was 7.8%. The biggest growth was on flights for holiday- makers travelling abroad from Russia and the CIS: passenger turnover growth in that segment was 10.2%. There was a stagnation in domestic traffic during the first eight months of 2005: domestic passenger traffic decreased by 1% y-o-y in this period. However, there was an upturn in the last four months, when passenger traffic was 8% higher than in the same period of the previ- ous year. The full-year result was thus 1.8% higher than in 2004. Foreign airlines made further inroads to the Russian market in 2005. They carried 7.3 million passengers to and from Russia, 13% more than in 2004. Foreign airlines have the advantage of modern aircraft with a wide range of seating capacities, and several of them deployed larg- er aircraft on some Russian routes. A number of foreign companies have started offering Russian routes for the first time in the last two years. These include Eastern Airlines, , , Airways, Pakistan International Airlines, International, as well as the low-cost carriers, Germania and Germanwings. Annual passenger traffic carried by these airlines is now approaching one million. Volume of the Russian air traffic market including carrying by foreign companies was 42.4 million passengers in 2005, which is 6.4% more than in 2004. Air Traffic Market

International passenger traffic by Russian airlines Russian airlines: main events in 2005 (shares of total passenger numbers)

Last year all leading Russian airlines reacted to the rapid growth of jet fuel prices by starting large-scale replacement of their fuel-inefficient fleets, consisting mainly of Aeroflot Group 31 aircraft produced in the USSR. Lack of competitive modern Russian-made aircraft Vim-Avia Group 12,8 forces airlines to buy abroad. However, duties and the necessity to pay VAT (amounting in total to 41.5% of the price of the aircraft) forces companies to buy Sibir 9,6 heavily depreciated foreign craft. Pulkovo 8,8 Last year Vim-Avia, which had not previously risen above 20th place in ranking of AirUnion Group 8 Russian airlines by passenger volumes, shot to 6th place in the ranking, thanks to deployment of a fleet of 12 B757 aircraft. Other companies, which significantly 7,9 expanded their business were (by 20.6%), Transaero (by 17.6%), Sibir (by 10.8%), and Pulkovo (by 6.4%). Companies in the top-10, which reduced their pas- senger traffic in 2005, included (by 12.2%), (by 4.3%), KrasAir Domestic passenger traffic by Russian airlines (by 6.6%) and (by 6.1%). The latter two are both members of (shares of total passenger numbers) AirUnion, which reduced its overall carrying by 6.5% in 2005. Market position of Aeroflot Group Aeroflot Group 16,6 Sibir 13,9

Passenger turnover of Aeroflot Group in 2005 was 22.5 billion passenger kilometers, AirUnion Group 10,1 representing 26.2% of all traffic by Russian airlines. The Group carried 8.1 million pas- UTair 8,8 sengers, or 23% of the Russian airline total. Aeroflot Group kept its unchallenged lead- 15 ership in regular international traffic with 62.8% of total international passenger Pulkovo 7,5 turnover and 74.3% of carrying on routes beyond Russia and the CIS. Ural Airlines 2,8 Passenger traffic by the Aeroflot subsidiary, Aeroflot-Nord, saw a major increase of 84.1% in 2005. Growth of passenger traffic by the Group's second subsidiary, Aeroflot- Don, was more modest and close to the industry average. Most of the increase in traffic Aeroflot Group: Aeroflot; Aeroflot-Don; Aeroflot-Nord. by Aeroflot subsidiaries was domestic, so growth of Aeroflot passenger traffic on internal AirUnion Group: KrasAir; Domodedovo Airlines; ; ; routes was at a high level of 18%. Aeroflot's share of the domestic market increased from . 14.1% to 15.6% by passenger turnover and from 14.4% to 16.6% by passenger traffic. Vim-Avia Group: Vim-Avia; Russkoye Nebo. Aeroflot Group carried 151,500 tons of cargo and mail in 2005. Cargo turnover was 2.2% higher y-o-y and Aeroflot Group s share in total cargo turnover of Russian airlines increased from 28.5% to 31%.

Safety

In October 2005 Aeroflot successfully passed IATA's official safety audit (IOSA — International Operational Safety Audit). All IATA member airlines must undergo this audit before the end of 2007. IOSA auditing is a condition for membership of the SkyTeam airline alliance. International experts checked the following aspects of Aeroflot's operations as part of the IOSA inspection: • company organization and management; • flight operations; • engineering and technical maintenance of aircraft; • servicing of aircraft on the ground; • operational management and ground control; • in-flight service; • flight safety; • cargo carrying and carrying of dangerous cargoes.

Strongly positive assessment of Aeroflot safety provisions are a tribute to the professional- ism of flight, engineering and technical staff, and to the efficiency of Aeroflot's safety sys- tems. 28 In connection with the international safety audit, Aeroflot has issued several documents which are the first of their kind in Russia, including the “Flight Safety Documentation System” (designed to comply with new ICAO requirements), “Guide to Flight Safety” and “Guide to Ground Servicing”. Aeroflot was included in the IOSA register in March 2006.

Flight safety Results in 2005 show that the Company's main priority - ensuring flight safety — is already implemented to international standards and the trend is positive: flight safety in 2005 was 99.96% (improved from 99.95% in 2004), which puts Aeroflot inside the range for interna- tional airlines (99.9% to 99.98%). In order to ensure high levels of safety the Company has put in place strict controls over flight organization, aircraft use, technical state of aircraft and observance by staff of safety proce- dures. Work to improve professional standards of flight personnel, technical personnel and ground personnel has also been important in achieving excellent safety results. The Company's Aviation Technical Center (ATC), which is directly responsible for mainte- nance of the , continued its efforts to improve operations in 2005. From the start of last year much work was done to ensure that the Company could carry out heavy techni- cal maintenance (C-checks) of its long-haul B767 aircraft independently, and Aeroflot engi- neers were the first in Russia to undertake C-checks of B767s at the start of 2006. Acquisition of maintenance know-how for these new aircraft will ensure further development of the Aeroflot ATC as Russia's prime maintenance center for Russian- and foreign-made aircraft. The decision by Air France to transfer responsibility for maintenance and repair of its A320 aircraft to the Aeroflot ATC is an endorsement of the high quality of technical service provid- ed by the ATC. The Center has been carrying out independent C-checks for A320s since December 2004. Business in 2005

On August 22, 2005, the Federal Service for Transport Supervision (FSTS) decided to suspend operations by Russian airlines with Il-96-300 aircraft due to safety con- cerns. The suspension was justified by incidents arising from design and manufac- turing faults in the braking system of these aircraft. Aeroflot was thus forced to suspend flights by six Il-96-300s, which represent 40% of the Company's long-haul fleet. The Company took special steps to meet its obliga- tions to passengers in this difficult situation, using other planes, changing flight fre- quencies on several international routes and stepping up joint operations with part- ner airlines. The aircraft manufacturers took urgent steps to address the concerns and prescrip- tions of the FSTS and all of Aeroflot's Il-96-300s were able to resume flights from October 4, 2005. The Company took the following steps in 2005 to raise efficiency of its flight safety provisions: • designed the first stage of a program for analysis and assessment of flight safety risks; • implemented a new standardized report on the state of flight safety, based on IOSA recommendations; • improved the data base, which the Company uses to organize information on avia- tion incidents; • designed a new procedure, entitled “Conduct regarding the operator's certificate, commissioning of new aircraft, obtaining flight permits and admissions, and coop- eration with partner airlines”; • activated a system for monitoring of the Company's flight safety provisions.

Flight security Aeroflot has a high-quality system of flight security, ensuring that passengers and 29 staff are protected from any illegal interference in Company operations. Security measures are being constantly improved. Flight security provisions at Aeroflot comply with Russian law, statutory require- ments of international civil aviation organizations (ICAO, IATA, ЕСАС); statutory requirements of national civil aviation regulators (in force at airports, to which Aeroflot flies), ISO 9000:2000 international standards, and requirements of other documents on flight security. In 2005 Aeroflot's flight security service carried out audit checks at the companies Aeromar and Airport Moskau (inspecting flight security, on-board catering provi- sions and cargo handling at Sheremetyevo Airport). The Company also carried out internal audits to ensure security in handling. Security programs already being implemented by Aeroflot were expanded. Additional measures include 100% baggage checks, presence of security staff on high-risk flights, security measures at Company facilities, deployment of sniffer dogs with trained handlers, and procedures for dealing with rowdy passengers.

Traffic volume In 2005 Aeroflot continued to strengthen its position as the leading Russian airline by more rapid development of carrying. However, worsening of the fuel price crisis (factual price growth for jet fuel was 44%) and growth of other air transport costs forced the Company to raise its ticket prices. In particular, the Company increased its fuel supplement to ticket prices on sever- al occasions. Significant growth of ticket prices across the route network and tougher competition on some Russian and inter- national routes led to reduction of passenger flows, as demand proved elastic to ticket price changes. In these circumstances Aeroflot took steps to minimize costs and losses by optimizing flight capacities on some routes. The following factors also had impact on traffic volumes and decline in demand for airline services: • natural disasters in South-; • suspension of operations with Il-96-300 aircraft at the annual peak period; • reduced regularity on some routes due to technical problems with aircraft leased from GTK Rossiya (Tu-214, Tu-154 and Тu-134 aircraft); • cancellation of the winter schedule of charter flights to Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.

Aeroflot Group carried 8.1 million passengers in 2005, and flew 22.5 billion passenger kilometres. The passenger load factor grew by 0.2% to 68.4%. Business in 2005

By the end of 2005, as part of the new service concept, 95% of cabin and flying staff were wearing a new uniform created by the celebrated Russian designer, Victoria Andreyanova. Responding to the popularity of Aeroflot flights in , Japanese assistants have been working with cabin crew on the Moscow-Tokyo-Moscow route since December 2005 in order to overcome language difficulties. Presence of Japanese staff ensures extra comfort for passengers and improves service quality.

Brand In 2005 Aeroflot-Russian Airlines won the gold medal in the “Service” category at the eighth annual competition to find the most suc- cessful brand creations and brand development on the Russian market: “Brand of the Year/EFFIE”. The “People's Brand” rating has awarded prizes to brand leaders every year since 1998 on the basis of national votes by Russian con- sumers. The national vote in 2005 confirmed Aeroflot as “Best Airline” for the second consecutive year. The following projects in 2005 were particularly important for development of the Company's new corporate style: • furnishing of 20 Aeroflot sales offices and representative offices in Russia and abroad (New York, Istanbul, Belgrade, Kula Lumpur, Tokyo, Tbilisi, Astrakhan, etc.); • steps to ensure that interior design at offices of Aeroflot agents matches the Company's corporate style; 33 • the first part of the Company's “Brand Book”, designed to help Aeroflot employees identify and imple- ment the new corporate style, was completed and distributed; • Aeroflot took part in the twelfth Moscow International Travel and Tourism (MITT) exhibition with its own 200 square-meter pavilion divided into thematic sections: “Comfort”, “Healthy Eating”, “Aeroflot Bonus” and “Travel”; • the Company created its own children's character, “FoxFlot”, to help deliver its internet message and put the character at the center of a unified program for children — Aeroflot UNIOR, — which brings together communication tools (internet site, com- petitions, event marketing, etc.) and products (travel packs, etc.).

Authoritative international research has confirmed the success of Aeroflot's efforts to improve service quality and update its cor- porate style: • the UK agency, Research, which brings together 95 international airlines, selected Aeroflot as the airline, which has done most to improve quality of its in-flight service; • research by IATA Business Insight found that Aeroflot took fourth place among 11 main European airlines for quality of its busi- ness class.

The Freddie Awards — an international poll of hotel customers to select the best airline frequent flyer scheme — gave a number of commendations to Aeroflot Bonus. The Company's frequent flyer scheme took: • first place in the Best Bonus Promotions category (best system for awarding air miles to loyal customers); • second place for Best Member Communications (best system for keeping in touch with participants of the frequent flyer scheme); • second place for Best Web Site.

Cargo traffic

Trends in air freight are important indicators of national and global economic development, and they also depend to a large extent on the state of the economy. in Russia and elsewhere support growth of the air freight business. In order to structure and improve efficiency of its cargo business, the BoD of Aeroflot decided in October 2005 to set up a new subsidiary, Aeroflot-Cargo. Aeroflot's plans for development of its cargo business in the medium and long terms are as follows: • 2006 — creation of the new company, Aeroflot-Cargo; • further talks on inclusion in the SkyTeam Cargo alliance; • 2006–2008 — withdrawal of four DC 10-40 aircraft and their replacement with up-to-date cargo planes; • 2006–2010 — development and implementation of a market strategy, focused on: • strengthening positions on the Asia-Europe market by optimizing hub operations; • entering the promising Indian and Middle East markets; • developing new hubs; • stepping up domestic freight carrying and developing bases in Russia and the CIS; • annual increase of cargo flows and revenue from cargo business by at least 25%.

Russia's strategic location on the world map is a major trump card for Aeroflot as it begins realization of this strategy. The Company also has the advantages of a developed network of regular passenger routes and representative offices, commercial rights, experience and qualified staff.

Average daily flying per aircraft rose from 9.1 hours in 2004 to 10.4 hours in 2005. The route network was modernized in 2005 in order to reduce costs and increase volume and revenues from cargo traffic. The Company continues to develop its representative office for cargo at Hahn in . The office works with Company partners in many European countries (France, Germany, Italy, , Denmark, etc.), securing loads for Company aircraft operating from Hahn airport, and plays the role of a European hub for Aeroflot, con- centrating air freight imports and exports. There is a well-developed system for road delivery to final consumers of goods flown by Aeroflot to Hahn. New flights from Helsinki to Sheremetyevo are also an important part of this delivery system. Business in 2005

Cargo traffic on passenger aircraft In 2005 Aeroflot carried 78,500 tons of cargo on passenger aircraft (including transfer), down by 12.1% from 83,300 tons in 2004. Passenger aircraft carried 4,500 tons of post in 2005, up by 22% from 3,700 tons in 2004. The amount of free capacities for cargo on passenger flights declined by 4.1% in 2005, leading to 12.1% reduction in overall volumes of cargo on passenger flights, of which 8.2% was reduction of direct sales.

Improvement of the tariff and sales system Aeroflot worked hard in 2005 to develop direct relations with the biggest international logistics and delivery firms, including Shenker, Nippon Express, Panalpina and Danzas. Sale of capacities in cargo and passenger aircraft on a wholesale basis was widely practised by Aeroflot in 2005 and proved highly effective, increasing average load and making sales more profitable. A new system was put in place for protecting against financial risks in freight carrying. This reduced financial risks for Aeroflot and increased levels of confidence among partners. The Company also improved its sales system through agreements with foreign airlines: such agreements were reached with and Avianka, allowing significant expansion of the geography of cargo deliveries. Agreements with airlines in the SkyTeam alliance (Air France, Korean Air and others) were extended in 2005. The fuel component in cargo tariffs was increased by 30% on average during the year in order to compensate rise in fuel prices.

New products The Company developed new technologies for express cargo deliveries in 2005 with appropriate document support. These new services were aimed at increasing profitability and quality of cargo delivery, and at meeting increasingly stringent customer requirements. Express cargoes are delivered in a fixed period of time, which can be agreed between the sender and the carrier. The cargo is given handling priority to minimize the time needed for ground operations when it is dispatched and received.

SITA Super Cargo (automated cargo handling) The SITA Super Cargo (SSC) automated cargo handling system, installed by Aeroflot in 2004, makes it possible to track progress 37 of cargoes through the delivery system in real time. The following steps were taken to develop the system further in 2005: • 34 Aeroflot representative offices were connected to SSC via terminal access; • procedures were devised for Aeroflot carrying at airports, which do not cater for the SSC system; • an agreement was signed with the system provider, SITA, for further provision of a statistics and automated accounting sys- tem (Report Manager), which will be added to the handling system. This will allow Aeroflot to make best use of the system by allowing customers to make cargo bookings, and will help to increase profitability of Aeroflot cargo operations; • work was carried out on a new web site for the Company's cargo department, including technologies that allow booking of cargo services and input by customers of essential information directly into the SSC.

Cooperation with other air companies

Aeroflot's cooperation with other airlines in 2005 helped the Company to strength- en its presence on promising markets, to expand its route network, to gain a pres- ence on markets with limited access and to make best use of its fleet. In the course of 2005 Aeroflot signed codesharing agreements with Korean Air, Air Malta, Alitalia, and Dalavia. Cooperation with JAT was resumed from November last year. At the start of 2006 Aeroflot had codesharing agreements with 27 Russian and for- eign airlines, including: • 12 agreements, in which Aeroflot is both an operating partner and marketing part- ner (with CSA, LOT, Air France, Маlev, , Austrian, Bulgaria Air, Cyprus Airways, Korean Air, Аlitalia, JAT and Air Baltic); • 5 agreements, in which Aeroflot is an operating partner only (with Таrom, Сubana, , , ); • 10 agreements, in which Aeroflot is only a marketing partner (with Slovak Airlines, Аdria Airways, Royal Jordanian, , Lithuanian Airlines, Aeroflot-Don, Aeroflot-Nord, Air Malta, Belavia, and Dalavia).

Aeroflot made 29,002 flights in 2005 under codesharing agreements (up from 19,386 in 2004), and carried 682,700 passengers (414,700 in 2004). The Company had 193 interline agreements with other airlines at the end of 2005, including 9 with Russian and 12 with CIS airlines. Cooperation with Aeroflot enables other Russian airlines to make occasional use of Aeroflot's “flag-carrier” status, using Aeroflot's name and commercial rights to deal with operating issues and issues of international law. Five airlines worked with Global market shares of international airline alliances 38 Aeroflot on this basis in 2005: Pulkovo, GTK Rossiya, 223 LO, 224 LO, and VASO.

18% Joining the SkyTeam alliance One World 37% Current levels of competition between international airlines are unprecedented in the Other carriers industry's history, and an important aspect of industry competition today is control of more than 70% of the global passenger market by three airline alliances: SkyTeam, and One World. Following addition of three new members in 2005, SkyTeam emerged as the leading and most rapidly developing international airline alliance. It includes such companies as Air France, KLM, Alitalia, Delta, Continental Airlines, Korean Air, AeroMexico, Czech Airlines and Northwest Airlines. The SkyTeam route network offers 19% SkyTeam 15,207 daily flights to 684 destinations in 133 countries. 26% StarAlliance Membership of SkyTeam will offer Aeroflot many advantages in the current competi- tive environment, improving the Company's strategic position as a provider of global transit services. Specifically, membership of SkyTeam will: • create the best-possible conditions for Russian citizens to move around the world and enjoy high levels of service thanks to the combined efforts of Aeroflot and its alliance partners; • give Aeroflot passengers access to the loyalty schemes of other SkyTeam airlines, ensure uniform service quality for first- and business-class passengers of all alliance members, and allow passengers to register for journeys, which are divid- ed between several SkyTeam airlines, in a single operation; • ensure uniform standards of service; • make Aeroflot more competitive on the global air carrying market; • help to increase Aeroflot's traffic volumes and profitability. Business in 2005

Following signing of the agreement on Aeroflot's commitment to SkyTeam membership (September 24, 2004), the Company has taken various steps to meet requirements of the alliance. By the end of 2005 Aeroflot had • signed codesharing agreements with all member airlines of the alliance, as well as agreements on frequent flyer programs and on use of VIP and business lounges; • been successfully audited by IOSA.

In December 2005 Aeroflot inaugurated special training for personnel, who work directly with passengers (front-line person- nel), using SkyTeam's “Ambassador” program. Aeroflot has carried out training of 75% of its front-line personnel, meeting SkyTeam requirements. Aeroflot has successfully completed adaptation of its procedures and processes to match those of SkyTeam in the following spheres: • Branding; • Timetable coordination; • Code sharing; • Marketing, advertising and distribution; • Frequent flyer programs; • Use of VIP and business lounges; • Airport services (including transfers); • Sales; • Ground and in-flight product; • Joint development of product; • Cargo business; • Joint procurement; • Support services; • Personnel training; • IT systems; • Harmonizing standards/quality guarantees; 39 • Technical services.

The final stage in confirmation that SkyTeam requirements have been met will be a commercial audit, which is planned for spring 2006. SkyTeam representatives will assess work of Aeroflot's front-line with respect to: flight reservations; services to transit passengers; baggage handling; standards of in-flight and airport service; and knowledge of English. Following this audit the SkyTeam executive will make a decision on Aeroflot's inclusion in the alliance. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Сonstruction of the new terminal complex, Sheremetyevo-3

Construction and operation of Sheremetyevo-3, the new terminal complex at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, is the main task of Aeroflot's 100% subsidiary, Terminal. This work is now in hand. Work on the new terminal began in July 2005 and is due for completion in November 2007.

The project consists of: • a terminal building, capable of serving 9 million passengers per year; • a multi-storey car park to accommodate 2,800 cars and an open car park to accommodate 700 cars; • internal and external engineering networks; • a road approach system, including ramps and roadways; • platform and taxiways for 32 aircraft .

The main designer for Sheremetyevo-3 is Ae roports de Paris Inge nierie, which has unique international experience in design of passenger terminals. Design of the platform and external engineering networks will be the responsibility of Aeroproyekt, a lead- ing Russian designer of aviation facilities with 70-year experience. The tendering competition to select a general contractor for Sheremetyevo-3 was completed on June 18, 2005. In an initial stage 38 major Russian and international construction companies, identified from open sources, were invited to tender. The selection criteria were: construction cost; completion time; financing schedule; technical quality; and security and environmental policies. The final choice was the Turkish company, ENKA. In order to maximize revenues from the project in Russia, the contract was signed with ENKA's fully-owned Russian subsidiary, ENMAR. The tendering competition to select a general contractor was organized by Bovis Lend Lease, which has responsibility for man- agement and placement of orders in the Sheremetyevo-3 construction project. The competition was carried out using procedures from best international practice, which ensured an objective and transparent choice. On December 30, 2005, Aeroflot and Terminal signed a memorandum of mutual understanding with Vneshtorgbank, Vnesheconombank and Sheremetyevo International Airport, providing for participation of the latter three parties in the project 40 through acquisition of a part of Aeroflot's shares in Terminal. The document sets out decision-making procedures and mecha- nisms for cooperation between the shareholders, main conditions of participation in the project and organization of financing. Construction work is now in progress and is being carried out on a 65-hectare plot located 400 meters west of the existing Sheremetyevo-2 terminal, close to the Sheremetyevo-2 passenger gallery. Construction of the new terminal is also tied into a uni- fied transport plan for road and rail connections between Sheremetyevo Airport and central Moscow. By the end of 2007 passengers will have the benefit of a new, modern terminal complex to European standards, offering con- venient connections between international and domestic Russian flights. A well-designed parking system and proper system of road connections will enable dependable and convenient travel in and out of Moscow by taxi and pubic transport, helping to improve the quality of service to passengers. The main customers of Sheremetyevo-3 will be Aeroflot and its partners in the SkyTeam alliance. Construction of the new terminal will enable Aeroflot to realize its full-hub model, creating the main air transport junction in Russia, the CIS and Eastern Europe. Sheremetyevo-3 will offer the best available airline connections between Europe and the Far East, and between Europe and Asia. Business in 2005

Priorities and main events in management of subsidiaries and associates Aeroflot's priorities in management of its subsidiaries and associates are: • improving efficiency, managing the value chain of key subsidiaries; • further optimization of Group structure; • creation and/or purchase of new companies in the air carrying and passenger service business; • addressing strategic tasks of raising capitalization and increasing revenues from subsidiaries; • creation of a group of companies in aviation and closely related spheres.

Aeroflot continued its work on sale of non-core assets in 2005. Nine companies were sold during the year, bringing revenue of USD 1.8 million. Group structure is now close to optimal and any further development will involve creation or purchase of new assets. Aeroflot approved a strategy in 2005, setting out guidelines for management of subsidiaries. As in previous years, Aeroflot worked hard to achieve a balance of interests between interests of the Company and interests of its subsidiaries. Particular attention was paid to the price/quality ratio of services, provided to Aeroflot by its subsidiaries, and reduction of business and corporate risks, associated with Aeroflot's stakes and its role in subsidiaries.

Air traffic Subsidiaries providing air carrying services are Aeroflot-Don, Aeroflot-Nord and Aeroflot-Plus. The main volume of services is provided by Aeroflot-Don and Aeroflot-Nord. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Aeroflot-Nord carried 806,000 passengers in 2005, of which 76,300 on international routs and 729,700 on domestic routs. Principal company routes included: Arkhangelsk-Moscow; Moscow-St.Petersburg; Moscow-Simferopol; Moscow-Samara; Moscow-Ekaterinburg; Moscow-, and others. The flight network, offered by Aeroflot-Don did not change significantly in 2005, and included the following main routes: Rostov- on-Don-Moscow; Moscow-Murmansk; Moscow-; Moscow-Dnepropetrovsk; Rostov-on-Don-Frankfurt; Rostov-on-Don- Tashent, and others. The company carried 596,300 passengers in the course of the year, of which 178,500 on international flights and 417,800 on domestic flights. Aeroflot-Plus offers VIP charter flights. Revenue from this segment in 2005 was USD 2.506 billion, which is 17.4% more than in 2004. Operating costs increased by 17.7% to USD 2.285 million. As a result operating profit increased by 14.4% to USD 220.6 million.

In-flight catering The Aeroflot subsidiary, Aeromar, specializes in preparation and sale of in-flight meals for airlines. LSG Sky Chefs, the global leader in airline catering, is an Aeromar stake holder. Aeromar controls 90% of the market for in-flight meals at Sheremetyevo Airport. Aeromar made 9.3 million in-flight meals during 2005, which is 1% less than in 2004, and served 54,495 flights (1.4% more than the year before). Revenue in 2005 from in-flight catering was USD 54.7 million, which is 5.8% more than in 2004. Operating costs declined by 8% to USD 46 million. Operating profit was USD 8.7 million compared with USD 1.7 million in 2004.

Hotel Operations Novotel-Sheremetyevo-2, the hotel owned by CJSC Sherotel and managed by the French firm Accor, kept its leadership of the Moscow hotel market in 2005 with 93.74% occupancy rate. The biggest share in profits from room rental at the hotel is from individuals (27%), followed by non-Aeroflot air crew (24%), Aeroflot air crew (16%), tour groups (12%), corporate customers (11%), seminars (6%), tourist agencies (2%), and delayed flights and transit (1%). Revenue from hotel business in 2005 was USD 19.2 million, which is 9.7% more than in 2004. Operating profit of USD 10.3 mil- 42 lion in 2005 was 80.1% higher than in 2004. The improved results were due to better revenue management and tighter cost con- trol. Work was carried out in 2005 to rebuild and modernize Novotel-Sheremetyevo-2 in order to maintain high-quality hotel servic- es, matching international standards. The work included: • further modernization of the Fidelio Front Office system, which increased the hotel's booking capacities; • renovation of all the hotel's conference halls; • installation of an system to replace the air cooling apparatus; • equipment modernization in the hotel laundry; • start of work to replace magnetic locks on doors of hotel rooms (the new system will use the latest technology and new software).

Capital expenditures in 2005 on modernization and equipment replacement totalled USD 922,800. CJSC Sherotel took second place in 2005 in the hotel category of a competition, held by the Governor of Moscow Region, to find the best tourist industry organizations in the Region. The company was also the winner in the service and hotel business cate- gory of a competition, held by the Russian Government, to find Russian organizations with the most efficient social policy.

Plans for 2006 Aeroflot will set up and launch operations by a subsidiary in 2006, as well as developing its business in the VIP transport segment. Future development of Aeroflot Group will involve creation (or purchase) of new regional air carriers, as well as improvement of quantitative and qualitative indicators, shown by current Aeroflot subsidiaries and associate companies. Business in 2005

Aircraft fleet Fleet development strategy The Aeroflot Executive Board has reviewed and approved a strategic development plan for the Company's aircraft fleet up to 2010, targeting implementation of the strategic development concept, adopted by the Aeroflot BoD in March 2000, and incor- porating goals for the period up to 2010 approved by the BoD in December 2003. The fleet development plan takes account of the following factors, which have major importance for future development of the aircraft fleet: • limited aircraft handling capacity at Aeroflot's main airport (Sheremetyevo) and future commissioning of a third terminal at Sheremetyevo; • growth of fuel prices.

The approved program for development of the Aeroflot aircraft fleet up to 2010 envisages: • growth of the number of aircraft in the Company fleet to 115 by 2010, with equal development of long-haul, medium-haul and short-haul carrying capacity; • gradual replacement of outdated aircraft (Tu-134s, Il-86s, Tu-154s, etc.) by up-to-date and efficient aircraft.

The development plan for the aircraft fleet, set out in the program, will increase passenger traffic volume by 70% in 2010 compared with 2005 and increase passenger turnover by more than 75% (representing average annual growth rates of 11% and 12% respectively).

At the beginning of 2005 the Aeroflot fleet consisted of 87 planes, of which 53 were owned and 34 were leased. The net result of withdrawal and commissioning of aircraft in the course of the year was a net decline of fleet size by two planes.

Withdrawals were as follows: • four Il-86s were written off; • two В737s and one А310 were returned due to lease expiry in the framework of fleet restructuring;

Additions were as follows: • three В767s as part of restructuring of Aeroflot's foreign aircraft fleet; • one new Tu-154M was bought; • one Tu-134 with business-lounge interior was leased from Stroitransgaz. Aeroflot annual report 2005

On some routes Aeroflot continued to operate aircraft belonging to other airlines using the Company's own commercial codes. Such arrangements were in force in 2005 with GTK Rossiya (on Il-62, Tu-154, Tu-134, Tu-214 and Yak-40 planes) and (on Tu-154 planes). During the Il-96-300 flight stoppage, Aeroflot also used Il-62s provided by Aviaenergo, Tu-154s and Il-86s from Continental Airlines, and Il-86s provided by VASO. As of January 1, 2006 the Aeroflot fleet consisted of 89 aircraft, of which 53 were owned and 36 were leased. In July 2005 the Company began work on choice of a future long-haul aircraft model, since planes in the B767 family will be ageing by 2010–2012 and remaining planes on the market will be heavily depreciated. The choice is likely to be between B787–8/9 models and A350–800/900s. Also in 2005 Aeroflot completed its choice of a future regional aircraft. Russian-made RRJ–75/95 models (the Russian Regional Jet) were selected as most appropriate, and an agreement was signed on December 7, 2005, between Aeroflot and the RRJ manufacturer, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, on delivery of 30 RRJ–75/95s in the period from 2008 to 2011.

Plans for 2006 Aeroflot plans a major increase in the number of up-to-date and efficient foreign-made aircraft in its fleet during 2006. Expected new additions are two or three long-haul B767s, three A320s and four A321s. The newly acquired A320s will replace Tu-154 aircraft on some European routes, where environmental rules make it impossible to continue using Tu-154s. The new B767s will compensate and increase capacities lost due to withdrawal of B777 aircraft. IT development

Installation of new computer systems and technologies, and automation of business processes are vital for successful develop- ment on the highly competitive air carrying market. Aeroflot is currently reorganizing its business management in order to improve efficiency. A key part of this reorganization is installation of the Sabre Airline Solutions family of products, which will help the Company to make the best decisions in order to increase operating profit. By choosing programs and instruments from the product range of a single company, Aeroflot has ensured their compatibility and ease of integration into a single automated system for managing passenger transport while min- 44 imizing costs. As part of this modernization Aeroflot transferred in March 2005 from the Gabriel booking system to the new Sabre automated seat resource management system, which has broader functional capabilities. Changeover to the new booking system is already delivering significant savings in air transport sales, and offers a stepping stone to the next stage in up-to-date electronic tech- nologies, such as Internet sales, e-ticketing, and self-service booking and registration Successful changeover to Sabre software has allowed introduction of an Internet booking system. Work to implement the first stage of this project was carried out at the end of 2005, when it became possible to book Aeroflot tickets through the Internet for delivery to passengers or pick-up in Aeroflot's own offices. Aeroflot has now started work on changeover to e-ticketing in order to meet IATA and SkyTeam requirements on e-ticketing intro- duction, and also to achieve cost savings. E-ticketing functions have been successfully tested, internal documents have been pre- pared governing e-ticket designs, passenger registration, Aeroflot sales office accounting and accounting of revenues from e- tickets. Testing proved full readiness of Aeroflot for introduction of e-tickets and the only remaining task is to change some pro- visions of Russian law, which do not allow for e-ticketing systems. In December 2005 Aeroflot launched information and self-service booking kiosks at its own sales offices. Customers can use convenient graphic interfaces at the kiosks to study Aeroflot timetables and ticket prices, and to make their booking. A significant amount of work was done in 2005 to improve Company IT systems to make them comply with main requirements of the SkyTeam alliance. Problems with integration of Aeroflot IT systems and systems of the Company's alliance partners were overcome in 2005. In June 2005 Aeroflot began installation of an automated production management system. This involves a sub-program for estab- lishing automated operating management and a number of other related projects in various segments of Aeroflot's business. The infrastructure for a Centralized Data Bank was established in 2005 and work began on transfer of data from various sources to the Bank The Data Bank will make it much easier to obtain essential, up-to-date information on all aspects of Aeroflot busi- ness, simplifying decision-making processes in the Company. Aeroflot has installed IBM's WebSphere system for corporate software integration in order to create a single IT space through- out the Company. WebSphere enables the Company to integrate all of its IT systems into a unified and efficient whole. By creat- ing a single catalogue of network resources and a central system to manage access rights to Company information resources, Aeroflot has successfully enabled accounting and control of all its network resources and ensured security in work with Microsoft. In order to support reliable functioning of the Company's Moscow offices and other business operations in Moscow, Aeroflot worked with Synterra to put in place a back-up wireless telecommunications system using WiMax technology. Business in 2005

Quality management

In 2005 Aeroflot continued its work on installation of a quality management system in the cargo carrying department and sub-divisions of the Company's marketing segment, which sell air tickets and develop new services. All operating divisions of Aeroflot underwent international quality audits in 2005, confirming validity of certificates (issued by TUV CERT) proving compliance with ISO 9001–2000 requirements. Following inspection of main Aeroflot facilities, Russia's Federal Service for Transport Supervision recommended all Russian airlines, which operate interna- tional flights, to follow Aeroflot's positive example of adherence to international cer- tification schemes. Use of international certification by all Aeroflot divisions enables the Company to react quickly and flexibly to changes in Russian and international requirements for airlines, improves company operations and helps Aeroflot to cooperate successfully with partners on the domestic and international market. Prior work to obtain international certifications were of great assistance to Aeroflot in successfully passing its audit of compliance with IOSA standards. Aeroflot began work in 2005 to install risk management methods that allow analy- sis and modelling of risks, which affect the Company's main priority — safe flying, — as well as helping in proper analysis of business results and monitoring of strategy implementation. Aeroflot will extend international quality certification inside the Company during 2006 in order to ensure that all aspects of the business are compliant with ISO 9001–2001 (GOST R ISO 9001–2001).

Risk Management

In October 2005 Aeroflot was pronounced the winner in a competition to find the best risk management system in Russian industrial companies, and was awarded a diploma by PricewaterhouseCoopers in recognition of its risk management achievements. The competition was held as part of the international forum “Risk management in Russia”, organised by Expert Rating Agency and Expert magazine with support from the Russian soci- ety for risk management, RusRisk. This was the first such contest held in Russia. Aeroflot's efforts to apply best practice in risk management were recognized and valued by international and Russian consulting companies. As a participant of the Russian and international air carrying industry, Aeroflot is subject to characteristic industry risks. Prominent risks in 2005 were: a particularly high level of com- petition; price increases for resources and services consumed by airlines; rise of ticket prices; and seasonality of the business. Aeroflot has always been particularly attentive to financial risk management. The Company is careful to ensure aircraft hull insurance , civil liability, insurance of employees and their fami- lies, and insurance of Aeroflot property in Russia and abroad. The Company also makes every effort to minimize risks pertaining to flight safety, and pays careful attention to operational safety of aircraft, personnel qualifications, and quality management and control systems. Sector risks

On the one hand the competitive environment on the Russian airline market is becoming more favourable for Aeroflot due to reduction in numbers of Russian carriers, but, on the other hand, competitive pressure from international airlines is becoming tougher as foreign 48 carriers step up their business on the Russian market. Aeroflot aims to maintain its competi- tive edge by service quality, maintenance of a broad and efficient route network, cooperation with reliable partners and agents, and a rebranding program. Increasing cost of resources and services used by airlines is primarily due to higher prices for natural monopoly services: jet fuel providers, aircraft repairers, air navigation systems, and airports. These are all essential components in the cost of providing an airline service. Growth of spending by Aeroflot on its fleet renovation program is inevitable. On the one hand, this will lead to growth of depreciation expenses and the Company debt burden (in the form of lending payments). But, on the other hand, it will significantly reduce the fuel cost compo- nent and relative maintenance costs. Increase of air ticket prices is directly linked to the level of competition in the sector and increase of carrying costs, which force Aeroflot to raise the fuel, airport and air navigation component of its prices. The seasonal character of airline business is due to dependence between the time of year and the amount of holidays and vacations of potential passengers. The high seasons for airlines coincide with the summer and winter holiday periods. Aeroflot does as much as it can to adapt its route network to seasonal market trends and supplements its efforts with a flexible tariff policy. Risk Management

Financial risks

Liquidity, currency and interest rate risks are most relevant to airlines as regards the ratio between currencies used for compa- ny accounting purposes, between payment/revenue currencies, between currencies, in which cash moves between company bank accounts, and between currencies, in which sales are made and in which bills are presented. Risks are inevitable in view of the large number of Aeroflot representative offices abroad. The Company has been able to achieve a balance in its currency position thanks to design and application of a methodology for calculating that position and thanks to introduction of an exchange rate within the company for ticket sales inside Russia. Assessment of risks due to exchange rate fluctuations and formation of plans to hedge fuel price developments are part of Aeroflot's budgetary process. In order to reduce credit risk in organization of passenger ticket sales and risk of non-fulfilment of transactional obligations to the Company by debtors/counterparties Aeroflot has set minimum deposits for ticket blanks, uses standardized bank guaran- tees, and sets different limits for different credit organizations as regards bank guarantees issued to customers of those banks who are ticket agents for Aeroflot. Transfer to the Sabre ticket booking and sales system will do much to reduce such risk, as will design and application of new non-paper technologies for ticket sales. Aeroflot is maintaining its efforts to properly assign responsibility and obligations between the Company and partner airlines as regards accident and third-party risk insurance. These efforts should reduce likelihood of non-fulfilment or inadequate fulfilment of obligations under bilateral commercial agreements with partner airlines. In 2005 Aeroflot designed and approved standard rules for hull liability insurance in Group subsidiaries in order to protect Aeroflot interests against risks of damage to aircraft and any incurring of passenger, third-party or baggage/cargo-liability in the course of regular flight operations. Insurance programs

Insurance is a risk management tool, by which Aeroflot can obtain external financing for part of its risks. There is a complex sys- tem of insurance coverage, which can be divided into two components: aviation and non-aviation. Aviation insurance includes various programs: aircraft hull insurance; aircraft third party; and passenger, cargo, and mail liabil- ity. These types of insurance are a way for the airline to minimize its risks, but they are also required by civil aviation authorities, Aeroflot partners and counterparties in Russia and abroad. Aeroflot's positioning on the international aviation insurance market and creation of a positive Company image have ensured steady lowering of Aeroflot's hull and liability insurance premiums. 49 Reduction of premiums by policy periods* Policy period 2005–2006 2004–2005 Insurance type compared with 2004–2005 compared with 2003–2004 Hull insurance for western built aircraft –21.7 % –24.8 % (including Il-96s and components) Aircraft third party, passenger, –0.9 % –11.5 % cargo, and mail liability

* The Aeroflot policy period starts on July 2 and lasts one year.

Non-aviation insurance includes medical insurance for Aeroflot employees and their families, professional disablement insur- ance in respect of flight crew and technical maintenance staff, airline property insurance in Russia and abroad, etc. Aeroflot obtains insurance on a competitive basis, achieving an efficient balance between price and quality of its insurance coverage. Flight safety risk management

Aeroflot underwent an IOSA audit in 2005 ahead of its planned accession to the SkyTeam alliance in 2006. In connection with these developments the Company began work in 2005 on design and implementation of a risk management program for flight safety. A risk matrix was designed, risks were categorized according to the Company sub-divisions, which they concern, and a cooperation procedure between Company sub-divisions to ensure flight safety was put in place. IOSA representatives gave a positive assessment of the results of these efforts. Moreover, the positive experience of Aeroflot's IOSA audit has been recommended by the Russian Air Transport Operators Association as an example to other Russian airlines, which are IATA members.

Personnel

Personnel management Building an efficient system of relationships between people within the Company is an essen- tial condition for achievement of Aeroflot's main strategic goal of creating a world-class airline based on the best traditions of Russian civil aviation.

Aeroflot's personnel policy aims to ensure that corporate and organizational structure match- es Company strategy. The policy contributes to productivity, creation of a personnel manage- ment system with strong corporate culture, increase of mutual responsibility of employer and employee, support for initiative at all levels, and encouragement of technical and organiza- tional innovation inside the Company.

Efforts in personnel management during 2005 aimed to implement a policy, which emphasizes: • encouraging efficiency in the workplace — improvements to the wage and incentive sys- tem; attestation of jobs by labour conditions; analysis of work processes and losses of work time in Company sub-divisions and among specific employee categories; drafting of labour regulations; • personnel training аnd development — improvement of the system for personnel selection and placement; professional training programs for flight and technical staff, cabin crew, and ground control personnel; programs to improve the level of service provided by the Company; programs to raise qualification and certification levels of personnel; • efficient social protection for employees — based on the Collective Agreement for 2005–2008 with bilateral monitoring of implementation by workforce and management representatives; 52 The Collective Agreement enshrines a wide range of guarantees and benefits for Aeroflot employees, including non-state pension provisions, compulsory and voluntary medical insurance for Aeroflot employees and pensioners, and health and recreation provisions. A Commission for resolution of labour and social issues has responsibility for making improvements to the Collective Agreement, interpreting the Agreement and clarifying application in specific cases.

Courses of treatment at resorts and sanatoria as well as housing programs for Aeroflot employees are dealt with under programs implemented by specially created commissions and committees within the Company. Personnel and Social Responsibility

As part of changeover in 2005 to the Sabre booking and sales system, 379 Company employees (including 82 local-hire staff from the Company's foreign representative offices) completed a course of training in use of the Sabre system at the Airline Business School in Moscow. In preparation for Aeroflot's accession to the SkyTeam alliance 30 company flight staff and two members of staff from the flight control center completed a Dispatch Resource Management course at Jeppsen GmbH, and 60 Aeroflot staff completed a pro- gram, provided by ARIKA Consulting Company under the title “Working efficiently with customers, resolving conflict situations”. 53 In order to achieve further improvement of the Company's quality control systems, 26 members of staff were sent to attend the licensed course QM TUV-SERT, provided by Certification Network MC GmbH. IATA study courses were organized for 13 Aeroflot staff members at the Center for Modern Technologies and Standards in Aviation (Moscow branch of the IATA Studies Center). The Air Business Academy provided training to 55 Aeroflot managers and specialists in 2005. In total during 2005 about 3,000 Company employees underwent training and improved their qualifications at 60 different insti- tutions.

Social programs Aeroflot's social programs were highly commended at the 5th All-Russian Competition for Efficient Corporate Social Policy, held on the initiative of the Russian Ministry for Economic Development and Trade. Aeroflot took first prize among 60 companies in the part of the Competition to find “Best Implementation of Social Programs”. The prize was awarded in recognition of the large package of services and benefits for Company employees and their families, which is included in Aeroflot's social program. Social support by the Company for its personnel took the following forms in 2005: • periods at sanatoria and rest breaks for staff members and their families; • housing programs; • state and non-state pension schemes; • company cars and car parking; • canteen provision; • recreational events and sport events; • registration of Company employees in the compulsory pension insurance system; • work with retired former employees of the Company.

More than 2,500 Company employees used sanatoria facilities and took rest breaks in 2005, and prophylactic treatment was provided for 168 employees. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Aeroflot arranged stays at children's camps with special health facilities for 815 children of Company employees during the summer and winter holidays in 2005. The Company provided special-purpose interest-free loans with total value of 7 million roubles to 67 employees in 2005 (of whom 11 used the money to improve their housing conditions).

The average monthly non-state pension received through the plan in 2005 was 785 roubles. Charity activities

The recognition accorded to Aeroflot's high levels of social responsibility at the 5th All-Russian Competition for efficient corpo- rate social policy also reflects the Company's efforts, as a responsible corporate citizen, to go beyond the requirements of its own employees, and to help other people in need. The Company continued to implement a number of socially-oriented programs in 2005, as follows:

Moscow-Kaliningrad Air Bridge The aim of this program is to create an “air bridge” between Kaliningrad region and the rest of Russia (the Batlic region of Kaliningrad has been an enclave, without land connection to Russia, since break-up of the USSR). The program helps to ensure respect for the right of every Russian citizen to freedom of movement. Aeroflot provides transport to and from Kaliningrad at affordable prices for needy passengers as part of the program.

Support to vulnerable social groups Comrades in Arms Free seats on regular Aeroflot flights to any destination in the Russian Federation, CIS, Baltics and Europe (except Malta, Cyprus, or ) for veterans of World War II. From 2005 this service is fully available to WWII veterans and invalids, living in the CIS and Baltic countries. In five years of the program Aeroflot has carried more than 20,000 people to reunions with wartime comrades, including 5,500 in 2005 alone.

Helping sick children and invalids In 2005 Aeroflot took part in a program to support non-relative bone marrow transplants to children with oncological conditions. Aeroflot provided tickets to Europe with 90% discount for purposes of obtaining and transporting bone marrow to be used for treatment of children with severe leukaemia, and also transported sick children and accompanying adults for operations and treatment in the USA. 54 Aeroflot worked with the Bakulev Scientific Center for Cardio-Vascular Surgery and the Children's Hearts Charity to launch the “Wings of Hope” program, which provides help to children in Russian regions suffering from cardio-vascular diseases. The pro- gram aims to provide high-quality diagnostic and medical assistance to such children. Aeroflot carried specialists of the Russian-UK charity, Downside Up, to various destinations in Russia. The charity helps to dis- seminate the latest support techniques for families bringing up children with Down's syndrome. Charity staff held seminars and practical conferences to help train specialists and parents in the latest approaches to social integration of children with learning difficulties.

Culture Aeroflot has had an association with the Moscow Conservatory since 2002. Company support has enabled Conservatory musi- cians to participate in prestigious international competitions, festivals and symposia. The Company has provided transport for Conservatory musicians to destinations in Europe and the USA. The Company is particularly keen to support various festivals of Russian culture abroad. Aeroflot organized transport to London for participants of the festival entitled “Russian Winter on Trafalgar Square”, which presented Russia's rich cultural heritage and the country's artistic and scientific achievements to a foreign audience. Aeroflot sponsored the program “New songs about what's most important” on Russian TV Channel 1. The program is a well-estab- lished “brand” on Russian TV with a long history and hallmark style, presenting performances by Russia's best-loved musical stars Aeroflot enabled a group of young musicians, “The Bell”, to represent the Society of Former Russian Prisoners of Mauthausen Concentration Camp at an international gathering to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the camp's liberation. Aeroflot was also a sponsor of the 20th International Ballet and Choreography Competition, the 6th Chekhov International Theatre Festival, and the 4th Moscow International Festival of Circus Art. A major exhibition of Russian art, called simply “Russia!”, opened at the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York with sup- port from Aeroflot. A total 250 art works from the Tretyakov Gallery, Russian Museum, Hermitage, the Kremlin Museum, Historical Museum and Russian provincial museums were transported to New York for the exhibition. The Company provided its services on several occasions for Russian cinema festivals in New York and Paris as well as support- ing the TEFI Russian TV awards event.

Sport The 5th Aeroflot Open International Chess Tournament was held in 2005. The Tournament has made its mark as a major event in the chess calendar in the five years since its inauguration. Participants last year were 630 chess players from 58 countries, including 130 international grand masters. Not every major international chess tournament can boast such a large and illustri- ous attendance, and the Aeroflot Open drew much attention in 2005.

Aeroflot maintained its strict observance of laws to protect the environment in Russia and in countries, to which the Company operates routes. Aeroflot regularly checks and supervises its observance of environmental norms in operations with aircraft and ground equip- ment, including monitoring of harmful atmospheric emissions, noise , smoke levels, and carbon dioxide and hydrocar- bon content in combustion gases. Aeroflot has measures in place to prevent pollution of soil and water at locations, where it carries out operations, and the Company carries out control and monitoring of temporary waste accumulation and storage connected with its operations. Aeroflot carried out work in 2005 to update its documentation governing permissible emission limits and governing accumula- tion and location of waste from production and consumption activities by the Company. Checks of harmful atmospheric emis- sions from stationary sources were also carried out last year.

Capital expenditures 67 Capital expenditures in 2005 totalled USD 204.1 million. The biggest items in capex were construction of buildings and facili- ties (36.4%), acquisition and modernization of aircraft (35.1%), acquisition of vehicles, IT equipment, and other operating and commercial inventory (28.47%). Investable funds for expansion and modernization of the aircraft fleet were capitalized in 2005. Aeroflot bought a “Water-Land” trainer for emergency rescue training of flight and cabin crew in 2005 in order to set up the Company's own training base in compliance with the European JAP OPS standards and ICAO recommendations. Work was also carried out to modernize trainers already owned by the Company. As part of the Company's flight security effort, Aeroflot replaced depreciated equipment for ground servicing of aircraft at Shermetyevo Airport (Elephant and VTS machines, lifts, etc), and machinery used for technical servicing of aircraft. Aeroflot made investments in development of corporate IT in the course of the year (acquisition and modernization of comput- ing and business equipment) in order to raise the overall level of automation in the Company and keep IT provision up to date. The largest share of construction spending last year was on the new terminal complex (Sheremetyevo-3), a new storage facility, an office building, and reconstruction of the at the Company's Technical Center. The most significant item among other expenses was acquisition of new uniform, special clothing, catering equipment, etc. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Borrowings Structure of the Company's credit portfolio changed significantly in 2005. The share of long-term borrowings was increased due to new credit facilities to finance construction of the new terminal, Sheremetyevo-3. The share of long-term facilities in overall borrowing was 43%, and the average maturity of Company debt in years doubled by comparison with 2004. Use of several tranches of long-term borrowing to finance construction of Sheremetyevo-3 enables placement of free cash on deposit, return from which exceeded the current sum of debt servicing costs. There was an increase in the average weighted cost of borrowing in 2005 for objective reasons (significant increase of LIBOR rates, which are the benchmark for interest rates on loans). However, Aeroflot took steps to reduce debt servicing expenses by reducing bank margins on credit facilities. Reduction of the average weighted bank margin from 2.74% in 2004 to 2.33% in 2005 was achieved through detailed analysis of the current state of the corporate debt market and a determined stance in nego- tiations with lender banks on credit terms. Aeroflot took a three-year USD 150 million long-term syndicated credit at LIBOR+2.25% in 2005. The credit organizers were WestLB AG, ABN AMRO, Socie´te´ Ge´ne´rale, and CALYON. A long-term unsecured credit of USD 30 million was obtained from ZAO WestBL Vostok for two and a half years at LIBOR+1.9%. The bank margin of 1.9% is exceptionally low for this type of credit. Agreement in principle was reached with Sberbank on credit limits, giving Aeroflot access to unsecured revolving credit facili- ties (aircraft were previously used as a pledge). The Company has designed and implemented a scheme for obtaining credit in non-resident banks, using transit cash flows from sales on accounts of Aeroflot representative offices abroad. This offers credit facilities with longer maturity and lower interest rates than are available on the Russian financial market.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

(Amounts in millions of US Dollars)

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS OJSC “Aeroflot — Russian Airlines” (the “Company”) was formed as a joint stock company following a government decree in 1992. The 1992 decree conferred all the rights and obligations of “Aeroflot Soviet Airlines” and its structural units, excluding its oper- ations in Russia and Sheremetyevo Airport, upon the Company, including inter-governmental bilateral agreements and agree- ments signed with foreign airlines and enterprises in the field of civil aviation. The principal activity of the Company is the provision of passenger and cargo air transportation services, both domestically and internationally, and other aviation services from its base at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) also conduct activities comprising airline catering, operation of a hotel, and provision of insurance services. Associated undertakings mainly comprise cargo-handling services, fuelling services and duty-free retail businesses. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Government of the Russian Federation owned 51% of the Company. The Company's headquarters are located in Moscow at 37 Leningradsky Prospect.

2. THE RUSSIAN ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Currency exchange and control — The is the national currency of the Russian Federation, however, foreign cur- rencies, in particular the US dollar (“USD”), play a significant role in the underlying economics of many business transactions in Russia and it is a functional currency of the Company. Following the 1998 economic crisis, the Russian ruble's value fell signifi- cantly against the USD, falling from a pre-crisis rate of approximately 6 Russian rubles to 1 USD, to 27 Russian rubles to 1 USD by the end of 1999. During 2005 and 2004, the Russian ruble's value fluctuated between a low of 27.46 and a high of 29.45 to 1 USD. During 2005, the Russian ruble has depreciated against the US Dollar. As of May 24, 2006 the exchange rate is 26.99 Russian rubles to 1 USD.

The following table summarizes the exchange rate of the Russian ruble to 1 US Dollar:

Exchange rate 31 December 2005 28.78 77 Average rate for 2005 28.29 31 December 2004 27.75 Average rate for 2004 28.81 31 December 2003 29.45

The Group's principal currency exchange risks relate to its ability to recover investments in non monetary assets, specifically property, plant and equipment, as well as exposure to currency exchange losses on monetary assets and liabilities linked to cur- rencies other than the functional currency of the Group's companies. Currency regulations imposed by Russian law place certain limitations on the conversion of Russian rubles into foreign curren- cies and establish requirements for conversion of foreign currency sales to Russian rubles. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Inflation — The Russian economy has been characterized by relatively high rates of inflation. The following table summarizes the annual rate of inflation for the past three years:

For the years ended December 31, Annual inflation 2005 10.9% 2004 11.7% 2003 12.0%

The Company's principal inflation rate risk relates to the Company's ability to raise tariffs for tickets sold in Russia in line with the growth in operating expenses expressed in Russian rubles caused by inflation.

3. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Basis of presentation — The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of US Dollars, except where it specifically noted otherwise. All significant subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the Company are included in the consolidated financial statements. A listing of the Group's principal subsidiary undertakings is set out in Note 1. The Group maintains its accounting records in Russian rubles and in accordance with Russian accounting legislation and reg- ulations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on the underlying accounting records, appropriately adjusted and reclassified for fair presentation in accordance with the standards prescribed by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Functional and presentation currency — The functional and presentation currency of the Company is US Dollars. Transactions and balances not already measured in US Dollars have been remeasured to US Dollars in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 21 “The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”. The Russian ruble is not a freely convertible currency outside the Russian Federation and accordingly any conversion of Russian ruble amounts to US Dollars should not be considered as a representation that Russian ruble amounts have been, could be or will be in the future, converted into US dollars at the exchange rate shown or at any other exchange rate. The assets and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, of the subsidiaries of the Company with functional currencies other than US dollar have been translated at the closing rate at the date of each balance sheet presented; income and expense items for all periods presented have been translated at the exchange rates existing at the dates of the transactions or a rate that approximates the actual exchange rates. All exchange differences resulting from translation have been classified as equity and transferred to the Group's translation reserve.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS AND OTHER CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following new or revised standards and interpretations issued by International Accounting Standards Board became effec- tive for the Group's 2005 annual financial statements: • IAS 1 (revised) “Presentation of Financial Statements” • IAS 2 (revised) “Inventories” • IAS 8 (revised) “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” • IAS 10 (revised) “Events after the Balance Sheet Date” • IAS 16 (revised) “Property, Plant and Equipment” • IAS 17 (revised) “Leases” • IAS 21 (revised) “Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” • IAS 24 (revised) “Related Party Disclosures” • IAS 27 (revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” • IAS 28 (revised) “Investments in Associates” • IAS 31 (revised) “Interests in Joint Ventures” • IAS 32 (revised) “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and presentation” • IAS 33 (revised) “Earnings per Share” • IAS 36 (revised) “Impairment of Assets” • IAS 38 (revised) “Intangible Assets” • IAS 39 (revised) “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” • IAS 40 (revised) “Investment Property” • IFRS 2 “Share-based Payments” • IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” • IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts” • IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale” • IFRIC 1 “Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities” • IFRIC 2 “Members' Shares in Co-operative Entities and Similar Instruments”

IAS 27 (revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” — This requires minority interests in equity of subsidiaries to be presented on the balance sheet within equity, but separate from shareholders' equity; and profit for the year allocated between minority interest and equity holders of the parent company. Accordingly, the Group's prior year financial statements were restat- ed to reflect the new presentation of minority interests. Before the adoption of IAS 27 (revised) minority interests were deducted in arriving at the Group's net income and presented as a separate line on the balance sheet between liabilities and shareholders' equity.

IAS 39 (revised) “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” — IAS 39 (revised) eliminated the option to recognize in income statement gains and losses from remeasurement to fair value of available-for-sale financial assets. Such gains and loss- es are now recognized in equity until the related asset is sold or otherwise disposed of. As a result of this change in accounting policy the net profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 has been increased by USD 3.2 million and the opening balance of 79 retained earnings as of January 1, 2004 decreased by USD 10.1 million. The effect on basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 is an increase of USD 0.003 per share. The effect on basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2004 was insignificant. Following the adoption of IAS 1 (revised) and public comments by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Council (“IFRIC”) the Group changed its classification of certain items of income and expense such as gains/losses from disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment and other similar items. Such items are now included in arriving at the Group's oper- ating result. Comparative information has been restated to comply with current year's presentation. Except for the presentational changes described above, the adoption of the new or revised standards and interpretations has not resulted in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies. Certain additional disclosures were provided by the Group as required by the new standards. Aeroflot annual report 2005

At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the following new standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective: • IFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources” • IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” • IAS 39 Amendments: “The Fair Value Option”, “Hedges of Forecast Intragroup Transactions”, “Financial Guarantee Contracts” • IAS 19 (revised) “Employee Benefits” • IFRS 4 Amendment “Financial Guarantee Contracts” • IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease” • IFRIC 5 “Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds” • IFRIC 6 “Liabilities arising from Participating in a Specific Market — Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” • IFRIC 7 “Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29” • IFRIC 8 “Scope of IFRS 2” • IFRIC 9 “Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives”

The Group's management anticipates that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group. The Group has changed its accounting policy in respect of borrowing costs as described below.

Borrowing costs — Before 2005 the Group capitalized the borrowing costs that were directly attributable to the acquisition, con- struction or production of a qualifying asset, as part of the cost of that asset. During 2005 the Group changed its accounting pol- icy in respect of the recognition of borrowing costs. From 2005 all borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Management believes that this treatment will result in a less judgmental treatment and a more trans- parent presentation of the Group's finance costs. Had the Group continued to apply the previous accounting policy the borrow- ing costs of approximately USD 5.6 million would be capitalized as part of capital expenditure within property, plant and equip- ment and the basic and diluted earnings per share would increase by USD 0.005 per share. The impact on amounts reported in the prior years is not material.

5. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities con- trolled by the Company (its subsidiaries) prepared through December 31 each year. Subsidiaries comprise entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to exercise con- trol over their operations. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is obtained by the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date of disposal or loss of control. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized surpluses and deficits on transactions between Group companies are elim- 80 inated on consolidation. Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. The interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority's proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognized. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority's interest in the subsidiary's equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Business combinations — The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equi- ty instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are clas- sified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 “Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, which are rec- ognized and measured at fair value less costs to sell. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. Financial Report

Investments in associates — Associates in which the Group has significant influence but not a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Significant influence is usually demonstrated by the Group's owning, directly or indirectly, between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting share capital or by exerting significant influence through other means. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post- acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. The Group's share of the net income or losses of associates is included in the consolidated income statement. An assessment of investments in associates is performed when there is an indication that the asset has been impaired or that the impairment losses recognized in prior years no longer exist. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate) are not recognized. Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the relevant associate. A listing of the Group's principal associated undertakings is shown in Note 1.

Foreign currency translation — Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are initially recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such curren- cies at the balance sheet date are translated into the functional currency at the year-end exchange rate. Exchange differ- ences arising from such translation are included into the consolidated income statement.

Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale — Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condi- tion is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recogni- tion as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Any liabilities related to non-current assets to be sold are also presented on a separate line in liabilities on the balance sheet. Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the assets' previous car- rying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Revenues recognition — Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes. Passenger revenue: Ticket sales are reported as traffic revenue when the transportation service has been provided. The value of tickets sold and still valid but not used by the balance sheet date is reported as unearned transportation revenue. This item is reduced either when the Group completes the transportation service or when the passenger requests a refund. Sales representing the value of tickets that have been issued, but which will never be used, are recognized as operating income at the date the tickets are issued based on analysis of historic patterns of actual sales data. Commissions which are payable to the sales agents are recognized as the commercial and marketing expenses at the same time as revenue from the air trans- portation to which they refer to. Passenger revenue includes revenue from code-share agreements with certain other airlines. Under these agreements, the Group sells seats on these airlines' flights and those other airlines sell seats on the Group's flights. Revenue from the sale of 81 code-share seats on other airlines are recorded net in Group's passenger revenue in the consolidated income statement. The revenue from other airlines' sale of code-share seats on our flights is recorded in passenger revenue in the Group's con- solidated income statement. Cargo revenue: Group's cargo transport services are recognized as revenue when the air transportation is provided. Cargo sales for which transportation service has not yet been provided are shown as unearned transportation revenue. Catering revenue: Revenues are recognized when meal package are delivered to the aircraft, as this is the date when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customers. Other revenue: Sales of hotel accommodation are recognized when the services are provided. Sales of goods and other serv- ices are recognized as revenue when the goods are delivered or the service carried out. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Segment reporting — For the purposes of segment disclosure the Group has identified the following segments: (a) Business segments The principal business segments are airline operations, airline catering, hotel operations and other. Business segment assets comprise all assets used directly in the business area's operations. Equity shares in affiliated companies, however, are pre- sented separately. Business segment liabilities and provisions comprise all commitments that are directly attributable to the business segment's operations. (b) Geographic segments The operations of all segments are based in the Russian Federation. With respect to scheduled passenger and cargo activi- ties, the following geographic analysis is provided: (i) Geographic analysis of revenue from flights — The analysis of revenue from scheduled flights is based upon the geo- graphic location of the place of flight origin; (ii) Geographic analysis of net assets — The major revenue-earning assets of the Company are comprised of its aircraft fleet. Since the Company's aircraft fleet is employed flexibly across its worldwide route network, there is no suitable basis for allocating such assets and liabilities to geographic segments.

Property, plant and equipment — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, or appraised value, as described below. Depreciation is calculated in order to amortize the cost or appraised value (less estimated salvage value where applicable) over the remaining useful lives of the assets. (a) Fleet (i) Owned aircraft and engines — Aircraft and engines owned by the Group as of December 31, 1995 were stated at depre- ciated replacement cost based upon external valuations denominated in US Dollars. Subsequent purchases are record- ed at cost. Airclaims, an international firm of aircraft appraisers, conducted the valuation. The Group has chosen not to revalue these assets subsequent to 1995. (ii) Finance leased aircraft and engines — Where assets are financed through finance leases, under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Group, the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The Group recognizes finance leases as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as amounts equal at the incep- tion of the lease to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding obligation, reduced by the capital portion of lease payments made, is included in payables. Legal fees deferred over the lease term of finance leased asset. The interest element of lease payments made is included in interest expense in the income statement. (iii) Capitalized maintenance costs — The valuation of aircraft and engines as of December 31, 1995 reflected their mainte- nance condition, as measured on the basis of previous expenditure on major overhauls and estimated usage since the previous major overhaul. Expenditure of modernization and improvements projects that are significant in size (mainly air- craft modifications involving installation of replacement parts) subsequently are separately capitalized in the balance sheet. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized from the balance sheet and included in gain or loss on disposals of property, plan and equipment in the Group's consolidated income statement. Capitalized costs of aircraft checks and major modernization and improvements projects are depreciated on a straight-line basis to the pro- jected date of the next check or based on estimates of their useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are 82 expensed as incurred. (iv) Depreciation — The Group depreciates fleet assets owned or held under finance leases on a straight-line basis to the end of their estimated useful life. Salvage value for the foreign fleet is estimated as 5% of historic cost, while salvage value for Russian aircraft is zero. Engines are depreciated on a straight-line basis to the end of the useful life of the related type of aircraft. Operating lives for the Russian fleet range from 11 to 25 years; for the foreign fleet 16 to 20 years. These lives are reviewed periodically. (v) Capitalized leasehold improvements — capitalized costs that relate to the rented fleet are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life and the lease term. (b) Land and buildings, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical US Dollar cost. Provision is made for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment based upon expected useful lives or, in the case of leasehold properties, over the duration of the leases using a straight-line basis. These useful lives range from 10 to 20 years. Land areas are not depreciated. (c) Capital expenditure Capital expenditures comprise costs directly related to the construction of property, plant and equipment including an appro- priate allocation of directly attributable variable overheads that are incurred in construction as well as costs of purchase of other assets that require installation or preparation for their use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as for other property assets, commences when the assets are put into operation. Capital expenditures are reviewed regularly to determine whether its carrying value is fairly stated and whether appropriate provision for impairment is made. (d) The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated income statement Financial Report

Impairment of non-current assets — At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-current assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.

Lease deposits — Lease deposits represent amounts paid to the lessors of foreign aircraft, which are held as security deposits by lessors in accordance with the provisions of finance and operating lease agreements; these deposits are returned back to the Group at the end of the lease period. A part of these deposits is interest-free. Interest-free deposits have been recorded at amor- tized cost using an average market yield of 6.3% percent.

Operating leases — Payments under operating leases are charged to the consolidated income statement in equal annual install- ments over the period of the lease.

Financial instruments — Financial assets and financial liabilities carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments, derivative financial instruments, trade and other accounts receivable, trade and other accounts payables, borrowings and notes payable. The accounting policies on recognition and measurement of these items are disclosed below in this Note. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instru- ments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to real- ize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The result from the realization of the financial instruments is determined based on the FIFO method. (a) Credit risks The sale of passenger and freight transportation is largely processed through agencies that are normally linked to country- specific clearing systems for the settlement of passenger and freight sales. Clearing centers check individual agents operat- ing outside of the Russian Federation. Individual agents operating within the Russian Federation are checked in-house. Receivables and liabilities between major airlines, unless otherwise stipulated in the respective agreements, are settled on a bilateral basis or by settlement through a clearinghouse of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). 83 (b) Fair value The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market information and other valuation methods as considered appropriate. At the balance-sheet date, the fair values of the financial instruments held by the Group did not materially differ from their recorded book values. (c) Foreign exchange risk The significant portion of the Group's sales and purchases are denominated in US Dollars and hence the foreign exchange risk to the Group is minimized. The majority of borrowings are denominated in US Dollars, thus further reducing foreign cur- rency exposure in US Dollar terms. In 2005 the Group did not manage foreign exchange risk through the use of hedging instruments but rather aimed to broadly match its assets and liabilities in the different currencies to limit exposure. The Group constantly monitors changes in foreign exchange rates to minimize the level of foreign currency exposure and to identify need for hedging activities. (d) Interest rate risk The Group's main exposure to interest-rate risk is from its finance lease liabilities and short-term borrowings. In 2005 the Group did not use financial hedging instruments to hedge its exposure to the changes in interest rates, as they are not gen- erally available on the Russian market. The Group constantly monitors changes in interest rates to minimize the level of its exposure and to identify need for hedging activities. Aeroflot annual report 2005

Cash and cash equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances with banks and short-term interest- bearing accounts which are used in the day-to-day financing of the Group's airline activities.

Investments — The Group's financial assets have been classified according to IAS 39 (amended 2004) “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” into the following categories: trading securities, held-to-maturity investments, loans and other receivables, and available-for-sale investments. Investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, which the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, other than loans and receivables, are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Derivative financial instruments and investments acquired principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price are classified as trading. All other investments, other than loans and receivables, are classified as available-for-sale. Investments are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a con- tract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

Held-to-maturity investments are financial assets excluding derivative contracts which mature on a specified date and which a company has the firm intent and ability to hold to maturity. They are valued at allocated acquisition cost and they are included in long-term assets. Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as either investments held for trading or as available-for- sale, and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value. Investments in equity instruments of other companies that do not have a quoted market price are stated at cost less impairment loss, as it is not practicable to determine the fair value of such investments. Where securities are held for trading purposes, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the period. For available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity, until the security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss pre- viously recognized in equity is included in the profit or loss for the period. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for equi- ty investments classified as available-for-sale are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss. Results of Group's operations can be significantly impacted by changes in the price of aircraft fuel. The Group periodically pur- chases derivatives such as jet fuel options in order to hedge its exposure from future price fluctuations in jet fuel. The Group does not use derivatives instruments for speculative purposes. Derivative instruments are accounted for as held for trading with relat- ed gains or losses from remeasurement to fair value included in the current period consolidated income statement as other non- operating gains or losses. The Group assesses on each closing date whether there is any objective evidence that the value of a financial asset item or group of items has been impaired. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has arisen for loans and other receivables entered at allocated acquisition cost in the balance sheet or for held-to-maturity investments, the size of the loss is determined as the difference of the book value of the asset item and the present value of expected future cash flows of the said financial asset item discounted at the original effective interest rate. The loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

84 Treasury shares — The Company's shares, which are held in treasury stock or belong to the Company's subsidiaries, are reflect- ed as a reduction of the Group's shareholders' equity. The disposal of such shares does not impact net income of the current year and is recognized as a change in shareholders' equity of the Group. Dividends distributions by the Company are recorded net of the dividends related to treasury shares.

Loans and receivables — Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Because the expected term of an account receivable is short, the value is typically stated at the nominal amount without discounting, which corresponds with fair value. Uncertain accounts receivable are assessed individually and any impairment losses are stated in non-operating expenses.

Accounts payables — Trade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, because the expected term of accounts payable is short, the value is stated at the nominal amount without discounting, which corresponds with fair value.

Short-term borrowings — Short-term borrowings comprise the short-term portion of interest-bearing long-term borrowings, i.e. the portion of the loans that is amortized in the coming year, as well as other current interest-bearing liabilities with a term short- er than on year. These liabilities are measured at amortized cost and reported on the settlement date. Financial Report

Long-term borrowings — Long-term borrowings, i.e., liabilities with a term longer than one year, consist of interest-bearing loans are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, as of the settlement date.

Expendable spare parts and inventories — Inventories, including aircraft expendables, are valued at cost as determined by the “first-in, first-out” method (“FIFO”) or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Inventories are reported net of provisions for slow- moving or obsolete items.

Value added taxes — Value added taxes (“VAT”) related to sales are payable to the tax authorities when tickets are sold. Input VAT is reclaimable against output VAT upon payment for purchases. The tax authorities permit the settlement of VAT on a net basis. Output VAT payable and input VAT related to purchase transactions which have not been settled at the balance sheet date are recognized in the balance sheet on a gross basis. Where provision has been made against debtors deemed to be uncollectible, a bad debt expense is recorded for the gross amount of the debtor, including VAT.

Frequent flyer program — The Company records an estimated liability for the incremental cost associated with providing free transportation under the “Aeroflot Bonus” program (see also Note 21) when a free air ticket or upgrade of service class are earned. Principal incremental costs include aircraft fuel costs and third-party passenger services (such as catering services and airport charges). The liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and is adjusted periodically based on awards earned, awards redeemed and changes to the “Aeroflot Bonus” program. The costs are included in sales and marketing expens- es in the consolidated income statement.

Borrowing costs — All borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Provisions — Provisions are recognized when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is sig- nificant, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures required to settle the obligation.

Income tax — The nominal income tax rate for industrial enterprises in Russia in 2005 and 2004 was 24%. The nominal tax rate is subject to regional reductions by up to 4%. The average nominal tax rate of the Group was lower than 24% as the tax rate applicable to different entities within the Group varied from 20% to 24%.

Deferred income taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated in respect of temporary differences in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. IAS 12 requires the use of the balance-sheet liability method for financial reporting and accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will 85 be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply during the period when the asset is to be realized or the liability settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted as at the balance-sheet date. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 deferred tax assets and liabilities have been measured based on tax rates applicable to the Group's companies range from 20% to 24%. It is charged or credited to the consolidated income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Employee benefits — The Company makes certain payments to employees on retirement, or when they otherwise leave the employment of the Company. These obligations, which are unfunded, represent obligations under a defined benefit pension plan. For such plans, the pension accounting costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the cost of providing pensions is charged to the income statement in order to spread the regular cost over the average service lives of employees. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the income statement immediately. The pension payments may be increased upon the retirement of an employee based on the decision of management. The pension liability for non-retired employees is calculated based on a minimum annual pension payment and do not include increases, if any, to be made by man- agement in the future. Where such post-employment employee benefits fall due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, they are discounted using a discount rate determined by reference to the average market yields at the balance sheet date. Aeroflot annual report 2005

The Company also participates in a defined contribution plan, under which the Company has committed to contribute a certain percentage (15% to 20% in 2005) of the contribution made by employees choosing to participate in the plan. Contributions made by the Company on defined contribution plans are charged to expenses when incurred. Contributions are additionally made to the Government's Pension fund at the statutory rates in force during the year. Such contributions expensed as incurred.

Dividends — Dividends are recognized at the date they are declared by the shareholders at a general meeting. Retained earnings legally distributable by the Company are based on the amounts available for distribution in accordance with applicable legislation and reflected in the statutory financial statements. These amounts may differ significantly from the amounts calculated on the basis of IFRS.

Earnings per share — Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the income for the period attributable to ordinary share- holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Group does not have any poten- tially dilutive equity instruments.

Contingencies — Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements unless they arise as a result of a business com- bination. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

6. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Provisions — Provisions are made when any probable and quantifiable risk of loss attributable to disputes is judged to exist.

Depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment — In reporting intangible assets and tangible fixed assets, an assessment is made of the useful economic life and an assessment is made at least once a year to determine whether impairment exists.

Defined benefit pensions costs — Reporting of costs for defined benefit pensions are based on actuarial estimates derived from assumptions about the discount rate, expected return on managed assets, future pay increases and inflation.

Compliance with tax legislation — As discussed further in Note 35 compliance with tax legislation, particularly in the Russian Federation, is subject to significant degree of interpretation and can be routinely challenged by the tax authorities. The manage- ment records a provision in respect of its best estimate of likely additional tax payments and related penalties which may be payable if the Group's tax compliance is challenged by the relevant tax authorities.

2005 2004 Beginning of the year 67.3 29.5 Additional provision in the year 42.9 45.2 Utilization of provision – (0.7) Release of provision (21.6) (6.7) End of the year 88.6 67.3 Analyzed as: Current liabilities 7.2 – Non-current liabilities 81.4 67.3 88.6 67.3

The Group is a defendant in various legal actions. Provisions represent management's best estimate of the Group's probable losses relating to various actual and potential legal claims. The Company is a defendant in a claim by the owner of a cargo plane which crashed in Italy in October 1996, whilst on charter to the Group. The basis of the claim concerns liability for the loss of the aircraft and the responsibilities of the parties at the time of the crash. According to a report prepared by Airclaims, compensation relating to crashed aircraft ranges from USD 11.8 mil- lion to USD 15.3 million. Management had made their best assessment of the likely outcome associated with this issue and recorded a provision amounting to USD 12.0 million as of December 31, 2003. In April 2005 the Arbitration court has decided in favor of the claimant regarding compensation and awarded damages amounting to USD 35.0 million, accordingly the reserve was increased to USD 35.0 million.

ACQUISITION OF OJSC “ARKHANGELSKIE AVIALINII” In October 2004 a 51% owned subsidiary of the Group, CJSC “Aeroflot-Nord”, acquired net assets of OJSC “Arkhangelskie Avialinii” for a total cash consideration of approximately USD 2.7 million. Fair value of the identified assets and liabilities of OJSC “Arkhangelskie Avialinii” at the date of acquisition and the resulting neg- ative difference on acquisition has been determined as follows: 101 Investments 0.9 Trade receivables 3.9 Other receivables 0.1 Inventories 0.8 Property, plant and equipment 15.6 Total assets 21.3 Trade payables 5.5 Other payables and accruals 2.7 Loans payable 2.5 Deferred tax liability 2.2 Total liabilities 12.9 Net assets acquired 8.4 Negative difference on acquisition (5.7) Satisfied by cash paid 2.7

This acquisition was accounted using the purchase method in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. Fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment was determined based on results of an independent valuation by professional appraisers. It has not been practicable to determine the carrying amounts of the acquired assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS immediately before the acquisition as the selling entity did not prepare financial statements that comply with IFRS.

The excess of the net fair value of assets acquired over the consideration paid is recognized in the income statement in other non- operating income. The acquired business contributed USD 11.4 million to the Group's revenue and USD 2.5 million to the Group's consolidated income during the three month period ended December 31, 2004. It has not been practicable to determine the effect of this acquisition on the consolidated revenue and net profit for the whole year as if the acquisition date had been the beginning of 2004 due to the differences in accounting policies used in respect of the acquired business before and after the acquisition.

34. DISPOSAL OF GROUP CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE On 30 December 2005, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement to sell 70% of its shares in OJSC Terminal as follows: 25% plus one share to International Airport Sheremetyevo; 25% plus one share to Vneshtorgbank; and 20% minus two shares to Vneshekonombank. The government of the Russian Federation is a controlling shareholder in all of the entities that are par- ties to this agreement. The assets and liabilities of OJSC Terminal and other capitalized costs relating to the construction of the Sheremetyevo-3 terminal, which are expected to be sold within twelve months, have been classified as a disposal group held for sale and are presented separately in the balance sheet. These assets and liabilities are included in the Group's other activities for segment reporting purposes (see Note 29). The proceeds of disposal are expected to exceed the net carrying amount of the relevant assets and liabilities and, accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognized on the classification of these operations as held for sale. The major classes of assets and liabilities comprising the disposal group classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents 8.5 VAT and other taxes recoverable 6.2 Prepayments 0.6 Inventories 0.3 Property, plant and equipment 67.6 Assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale 83.2 Trade payables and accruals (7.4) Other non-current liabilities (2.0) Liabilities associated with assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale (9.4) Net assets of disposal group 73.8

35. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Political environment — The government of the Russian Federation continues to reform the business and commercial infra- structure in its transition to a market economy. As a result laws and regulations affecting businesses continue to change rapid- ly. These changes are characterized by poor drafting, different interpretations and arbitrary application by the authorities.

Taxation — Russian tax legislation is subject to varying interpretations and constant changes. Furthermore, the interpretation of the tax legislation by the tax authorities, as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group, may not coincide with that of 102 management. As a result, the tax authorities could challenge transactions and the Group could be assessed additional taxes, penalties and interest, which could be significant. Periods remain open to review by the tax authorities for three years. The Group's management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, howev- er the risk remains that the relevant authorities could take up differing positions with regard to interpretative issues, and the effect could be significant.

Currency control — The Group operates in approximately 50 countries, as well as in Russia, through its representative offices. Given the Group's significant foreign currency revenues and obligations, it is exposed to the risk of non-compliance with Russian currency control legislation. Management believes that the Group generally complies with currency control regulations and that no contingent provisions are necessary in the consolidated financial statements. Financial Report

Legal claims (i) Former members of the Group's management and two Swiss non-bank financial companies that provided treasury and financial services to the Group, are currently under investigation by the Swiss and Russian authorities for potential mis- conduct related to funds managed under treasury and financial services agreements, which were entered into by the for- mer management of the Group.

The Group is not named in the investigation. In management's opinion, the Group does not have any potential exposure related to the treasury and financial services agreements, or any of the allegations currently subject to investigation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include provision for any amounts that might result from the investigations. Such amounts, if any, will be reported when they become known and estimable.

36. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS SkyTeam — Aeroflot as of April 14, 2006 officially became the tenth member in the SkyTeam alliance. SkyTeam is the global air- line alliance partnering Aeromexico, Air France, Alitalia, Continental Airlines, CSA — Czech Airlines, Delta Airlines, KLM — Royal Dutch Airlines, Korean Air, Northwest Airlines. Aeroflot became the first Russian carrier to become part of a global airline alliance. As part of its membership, Aeroflot passengers will be able to accrue and redeem frequent flyer miles interchangeably on any of the nine other SkyTeam member airlines. In turn, SkyTeam passengers on flights operated by Aeroflot can earn miles in their preferred frequent flyer program.

Electronic ticketing — As part of its agreement with SkyTeam alliance Aeroflot will be required to introduce e-ticketing on all of its flights. Introduction of e-ticketing would allow the Company to achieve savings, while also increasing convenience for its cus- tomers. Under the current Russian legislation, tickets for passenger air carriage can only be issued in documentary form. The Ministry of transportation of the Russian Federation signed an Order on May 6, 2006 which would allow the usage and regulate electronic ticketing in the civil aviation. To become effective this document is yet to be officially registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.

Terminal — In April 2006 Aeroflot's shareholders approved the offer to sell 70% of the ordinary shares in equity of OJSC Terminal to parties related by common ownership as follows: to International Airport Sheremetyevo 9,490,001 shares at the price of 108 rubles per share (25% plus one share), to Vneshtorgbank 9,490,001 shares at the price of 108 rubles per share (25% plus one share), and to Vneshekonombank 7,591,998 shares at the price of 102 rubles per share (20% minus two share). The Company expects to realize a significant gain on disposal of these shares. The sale is expected to be finalized by July 1, 2006.

Russian Regional Jet (“RRJ”) — Aeroflot's shareholders have also approved the purchase of 30 RRJ planes from CJSC Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, a subsidiary of the Sukhoi state holding and a related party. The total value of the related contract is included in the amount of capital commitments in Note 32. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in November 2008.

Airbus A321-200 — During 2005 the Company agreed to acquire seven new A321-200 aircraft from Airbus S.A.S. subject to the Board approval. In March 2006 the Company's Board of Directors approved the amended total purchase price. The total value of the related capital commitments, net of advance payments made, is included in Note 32. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 103 the last quarter of 2006 and be completed by the end of 2007. As of December 31, 2005 the Group made an advance payment of approximately USD 34.9 million presented within capital expenditures in the Group's consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2006 the Group obtained a loan of USD 50.1 million from Natexis Transport Finance and Calyon to finance the advance payments under Airbus contract. The loan bears interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.75% and is to be repaid as the planes are delivered.

New shares — The Board of Directors of the Company proposed a decision to authorize an issue of 250 million of additional ordi- nary shares of the Company. This decision will require approval by the shareholders at the annual general shareholders' meet- ing to be held in June 2006.

Repayment of loan — On May 24, 2006 the Company repaid the full outstanding amount of the syndicated loan from WestLB AG and other international lending institutions including its long term portion. As of December 31, 2005 the Company had a liabil- ity of USD 30.0 million and USD 60.2 million recorded as a long term and short-term borrowings, respectively. Aeroflot annual report 2005
