A. Arkhipov, General Director — Chairman of the Management Board of IDGC of the SOUTH, JSC Sergey Aleksandrovich Arkhipov General Director — Chairman of the Management Board of IDGC of the SOUTH, JSC — Sergey Alexandrovich, IDGC of the South made net losses over the last two years. What can be done to change the situation this year? — We finished last year with a loss of RUR 3.6 bln, but all the company’s losses last year are explained by one factor — writing off and provisioning for debt that can’t be collected: those debts on which the term of the claim has expired or which we weren’t able to collect through court. Accounts receivable are connected to the consequences of the crisis, which is an entirely normal situation for the majority of large companies in the energy sector. We had to write off “dead” debt, and we therefore conducted risk assessment, and separated risky sums from accounts receivable, for which reserves for doubtful receivables were made. It will be possible to write these debts off from our re- serve over the course of 2011, and they won’t have an influence on the company’s financial results. The most important thing is that we managed to clean out our accounting balance. IDGC of the South, JSC doesn’t have any “dead” debt now, which can lead to risks.

TABACHISHIN & EVGENI V. ZAVIALOV KURZFASSUNG Nach Feldbeobachtungen in den Jahren 1996 bis 2003 bevorzugen die Populationen der Gefleckten Krötenkopf-Agame Phrynocephalus guttatus (GMELIN, 1789) aus der Wolga-Region als Lebensraum verfestigte und mäßig verfestigte Sande mit spärlicher Busch- und Grasvegetation. Untersuchungen von russischem und ukrainischem Museumsmaterial ergaben, daß die Populationen auf den Don-Sanden im Volgograd-Gebiet zu Ph. g. guttatus zu stellen sind. Sie zeigen jedoch aufgrund ihrer Randlage hinsichtlich des Gesamtverbreitungsgebietes der Art gewisse Eigentümlichkeiten in bezug auf die Ausprägung einiger meristischer Merkmale. ABSTRACT According to field observations made in 1996-2003, the Volga region populations of the Spotted Toad- headed Agama Phrynocephalus guttatus (GMELIN, 1789) prefer fixed and weakly fixed sands with sparse bush and gras vegetation. Analysis of Russian and Ukrainian museum specimens revealed that the populations on the Don sands in the Volgograd region belong to Ph. g. guttatus. However, they are specific by some metric characteristics due to their outlying position in the north of the species' range area.
