In these adverse conditions URALSIB Leasing’s strives to strengthen and support Russian enterprises, forming the basis to capture business opportunities, and promote smooth cooperation of public and private sectors. Over the recent years, Russia’s lease market has been growing rapidly to become the 5th largest among European countries by early last year and enter the global Top10 largest national lease markets. Starting September 2008, the Russian lease market has come to a standstill with only few transactions concluded. Unlike expert forecasts, lease market saw no uptrend later on. The crisis affected most leasing operators and identified their weaknesses, including asset and liability management, risk management, bad asset management. We have to acknowledge that 2008 was a difficult year for URALSIB Leasing. We had to reconsider risks in certain segments and cease funding of some industries. New business plans were adjusted to reflect the declining business volumes, our regional expansion being suspended. However, we have seen some bright sides. In 2008, URALSIB Leasing increased investment into key sectors of the national economy and showed above average growth rate. Our new business increased by 36% y-o-y and amounted to RUB 46.6 billion. In spite of tight market conditions and increased provisioning expenses, URALSIB Leasing ended the year gaining profit. In 2008, net profit decreased to RUB 568.7 million y-o-y (down from RUB 660.9 million). URALSIB Leasing ranked first among the largest leasing companies in 2008, was recognized to be the leader in some key Russian lease market segments, and was named the first largest leasing company in three Federal Districts (EXPERT RA). Leasing in Russia’s GDP, % RosLeasing Top rankings show improved operational excellence together with high agencies’ ratings. ‘B+’ credit rating assigned by Fitch Ratings was supplemented by high rates of EXPERT RA: ‘A+’ for financial stability and ‘A.rm’ for risk management. 4 3.01 3 3 2 1.73 1.49 1 2006 Actual 2007 The Company’s achievements were recognized by the professional business community.

The goals reached in 2008 motivate our management to set new ambitious targets and maximize the value of our key asset, which is confidence of our partners and impeccable business reputation. Our success in funding is worth mentioning as a special achievement. Through a wide range of instruments, including loans from Russian and foreign banks, bonded debt, trade and export finance, the Company raised significant funds: in 2008, the actual raised external funding amounted to USD 600 million (excluding opened but undrawn credit lines). annual report 2008 In conclusion, I would like to note that high business efficiency tested by current economic hardships proves URALSIB Leasing’s ability to navigate the storm in Russia’s economy. I wish all our shareholders, customers, partners, and employees further success and prosperity. Andrey Donskikh Chair of the Board of Directors 11 annual report 2008 _Statement by the Chair of the Executive Board In 2008, URALSIB Leasing demonstrated persistent growth and gained leading positions in Russia’s lease market. Our shareholders and financial partners appreciate our strengthened market positions along with a more reliable risk management and control. Our achievements, impeccable reputation, and efficiency have become notable drivers of developing large-scale real sector and SMEs funding solutions. In 2008, URALSIB Leasing met strong growth strategic objectives and started implementing efficiency and cost management strategy. The next strategic step to be made in 2009 will be aimed at business consolidation, enhanced business process efficiency, talent pool, and external funding. Now we can affirm that URALSIB Leasing took full advantage of business opportunities for strong growth to become the leader in EXPERT RA’s general rating of leasing companies. Our market share amounted to 6.4% far exceeding the earlier target of 5.7%. Our customer policy will be mainly focused on SMEs and promising state-supported companies. The product strategy will be focused on popular standard solutions with scoring decision-making methods based on centralised underwriting process. In Q4 2008, URALSIB Leasing adjusted the strategy and key business processes to meet the challenges of the global financial crisis. We made a reasoned decision to reduce and even to suspend funding of certain industries. The adjusted new business volume targets were set at 78% of the estimates early in the year. Solutions for SMEs will include short and long-term agreements for lease-purchase of trucks and special machinery. In 2009, corporate solutions will focus on developing and launching the new ‘Vehicle Operating Lease‘ solution, including establishment of required infrastructure and offering pilot leases. Our modified approach to risk assessment caused changes in key lease terms, including increased down payment and reduced periods of lease agreements. The interest rates were adjusted to reflect funding cost changes. I am convinced that the Company’s reputation of a reliable financial partner, our skilled and experienced personnel, robust regional network, and diversified lease portfolio will help us battle through adverse market conditions. We develop our lease operations to support domestic producers, contribute to integration of regional economies, and form basis for Russia’s strong economic position. To modify and upgrade risk management practices, URALSIB Leasing established centralised and regional risk management departments and a credit committee. strong company — strong russia 12 strong company – strong russia Oleg Litovkin Chair of the Executive Board On behalf of the Executive Board of URALSIB Leasing I would like to express our gratitude to customers and partners for their confidence that helps us achieve the goals established.

Bad asset management is focused on the following areas: Arrangements with lessees to repay outstanding debt and comply with established payment schedules; Foreclosure of assets followed by their sale/lease if the Company sees no opportunity for the lessee to comply with the payment schedule or restructure debt; Analysis and restructuring of lease agreements with large corporate clients; Arrangements with collection agencies; Outsourcing of legal advisory services. For corporate leases, bad asset management is focused on improving lessees’ payment discipline, enhancing collaterals under lease agreements and increasing the interest rate for restructured leases. For retail leases, bad asset management strategy is focused on ensuring the lessee’s compliance with the payment schedule as well as foreclosure and prompt sale of the foreclosed assets. Foreclosed asset management URALSIB Leasing forecloses assets of insolvent lessees with subsequent sale/lease of these assets. To ensure safety of the foreclosed assets, the Company: Establishes procedures for transportation, storage, repair and assessment of the foreclosed assets; Partnership A top priority for the Company’s development is relations with producers and suppliers of lease assets, dealers, and insurers.

The aggregate portfolio of leasing companies increased by 13.5% to reach USD 1,390 billion. In early 2008, market changes were positive; however, by Q4 2008 the lease market significantly weakened. The decline in new leasing business volumes was accompanied by downturn in solvent demand resulting in short and long-term solvency assessment problems. This was followed by reduction of product offerings and transfer from the buyer’s market to the seller’s market. Leases were provided only to the most reliable and predictable companies. 2007 2008 The downturn affected most lease segments except for vehicle, aircraft, real property, and agricultural machinery. Demand for lease services diversifyes geographically; while the new business volumes reduced in Moscow and St. Petersburg, business in all other Federal Districts expanded. In 2008, URALSIB Leasing’s total sales grew by 1/3 to reach RUB 46.64 billion. The Company’s market share totalled 6.4% (against 3.4% in 2007), i. e. almost doubled yea-on-year. To ensure return on investments, the leasing companies that stayed on the market had to change their product terms by increasing down payments along with interest rates, reducing lease periods, and tightening the requirements to lessees’ managerial and financial statements. _URALSIB LEASING NEW BUSINESS BY SEGMENT, QUANTITY, AND VALUE, 2006–2008 2006 Vehicles Rail and rolling stock Equipment Real estate Air and sea craft TOTAL strong company — strong russia 2007 Lease value, RUB m Number of lease agreements Lease value, RUB m Number of lease agreements 8,065 2,114 4,527 1,393 71 16,171 2,377 15 425 11 5 2,833 19,537 3,193 7,460 3,569 365 34,125 4,659 24 721 13 7 5,424 16 2008 Lease value, RUB m 21,777 7,270 9,714 7,367 515 46,644 Number of lease agreements 5,199 24 924 40 2 6,189 сильная россия _RUSSIA _URALSIB annual report 2008 17 annual report 2008 Top 10 Largest Market Segments in New Business, EXPERT RA New Business in Russian Lease Market, 2008, % EXPERT RA Trucks 16.38% 44 4 Vehicles Rail and rolling stock 13.48% Aircrafts 13.38% 13 Machinery Rail and rolling stock 13 Real estate Passenger cars 9.11% Air and sea craft 25 Construction machinery 8.58% Road construction machinery URALSIB Leasing Lease Portfolio, 2007, % 3.95% Agricultural machinery 3.87% 1 50 12 Power-generating machinery 3.62% Buildings and structures 3.60% Engineering & metal processing equipment 3.18% Vehicles Machinery 15 Rail and rolling stock Real property Air and sea craft 22 0 6 12 18 URALSIB Leasing Lease Portfolio, 2008, % 1 35 Vehicles _LARGEST RUSSIAN LEASING COMPANIES IN 2008 EXPERT RA Machinery 20 New business volume, RUB m 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 URALSIB Leasing Ilyushin Finance VTB-Leasing GazTechLeasing Europlan Nomos-Leasing Inpromleasing 46,645 38,077 36,472 24,232 22,578 15,884 14,729 8 9 10 RTK-LEASING Scania Leasing TransCreditLeasing 13,596 11,849 11,630 strong company — strong russia Rail and rolling stock Real property 23 21 Air and sea craft 18 strong company – strong russia _Vehicle and special machinery lease 2009 Forecast Experts forecast revival of the lease market in H2 2009. Downturn restraints (potential growth drivers) are: Lower devaluation expectations; State lease programs and targeted support; Effecting big ticket leases suspended due to the crisis; Growing number of liquid asset leases (vehicle leases); Implementation of retail leases in liquid segments such as vehicle lease. The financial crisis caused the lease share to go down from 3% to 1.7% of the GDP and from 14.1% to 6.6% of the total capital investments. There is a significant divergence between these changes and overloaded production capacities coupled with notable deterioration of the assets. Since the lease market has high potential it may promptly re-gain former growth rates upon recovery of the funding sources. In 2008, vehicle lease enjoyed the most favorable market conditions. Lease of trucks, passenger cars, special machinery, and agricultural equipment increased by ¼ to reach 44% of the new business. In absolute figures, the decrease was minor and the segment volume amounted to RUB 320 billion. Trucks lease is conventionally the largest in the vehicle segment and reached 37% last year. Passenger cars account for 20% and construction machinery for 19% of lease volumes. Trucks leases also account for the largest share in all new lease volumes, thus, exceeding all other lease assets and the rail and rolling stock lease volumes. This market is led by companies affiliated with manufacturers (Scania Leasing, KAMAZ Leasing), single-product companies (Europlan), and multi-product leasing operators (URALSIB Leasing, NOMOS-Leasing). The trucks market share of URALSIB Leasing went up by 1.2% to 5.7% y-o-y. The downturn in the new vehicle lease business was restrained by passenger car leases increased by 14%. This market is led by single-product companies (Europlan, Carcade), companies with large regional networks (URALSIB Leasing), and state-supported companies (GazTechLeasing). URALSIB Leasing’s passenger car market share went down by 0.2% to 5% y-o-y. The construction machinery market is led by multi-product leasing companies (URALSIB Leasing), companies representing natural monopolies (TGI-Leasing), and companies with foreign ownership (Deutsche Leasing Vostok). The construction machinery market share of URALSIB Leasing went up by 4.4% to 9.8% y-o-y. Vehicle and special machinery lease accounts for 6.8% (5.6% in 2007) of the Company’s business in 2008 with the new business volumes having reached RUB 21.8 billion.

Rail and rolling stock leases lost top positions in the new business and fell from 24.4% to 13.5%. Decline in new rail and rolling stock leases is mainly due to: Drop in goods and passenger turnover; Changes in the Russian Railways’ policy of rail and rolling stock renovation through leases that used to account for 30% of the rail and rolling stock segment; Decrease in rail and rolling stock market prices.

Rail car prices increased in Q2 2008, resulting in lower profitability of rail and rolling stock leases and decreased new business volumes in this segment. By Q3 2008, with peak prices, the number of new rail and rolling stock leases had significantly reduced. In Q4 2008, the prices of different rail car types fell by 20–40%.

Interest risk is a risk of eventual loss due to unfavorable changes in interest rates on assets and liabilities sensitive to such changes. The Company’s Treasury is responsible for operational management of liquidity risks aimed at maintaining current, mid-term, and long-term liquidity. The key management tools include daily cash plan, gap reports, gap limits, and leveled liquid assets portfolios. Reduced average floating Libor/Euribor rates influenced positively the interest income received under leasing agreements in 2008. Company’s assets and liabilities are well-balanced by maturity dates, and all the gap limits are followed. Currency risks Currency risk is a risk of eventual loss due to unfavorable currency rate changes in open currency positions. The key approach of URALSIB Leasing to interest risks is to transfer them onto the customer (lessee). Lease agreements financed through floating rate loans provide for the parties’ rights and obligations to revise the total agreement price and lease payments in accordance with Libor/Euribor changes relative to the interest rate under the agreement. In 2008, no lease agreements terms were revised since the floating rate trend moved down. To reduce the currency risk, the Company’s Treasury sets and maintains open currency position limits. Following Q1 2009, early partial repayment of foreign currency loans at the beginning of 2009 reduced a short open currency position in US dollars and euros. _Breakdown of URALSIB LC Assets and Liabilities by Maturity As at December 31, 2008 (IFRS), RUB‘000 Balance/ Maturity Assets Liabilities Net total strong company — strong russia On call Under 3 months 3 months to 1 year 1 to 3 years 3 to 5 years Over 5 years 587,146 22,198 564,949 10,517,139 8,087,916 2,429,222 9,744,822 8,218,634 1,526,187 12,320,160 14,853,504 (2,533,343) 4,312,309 3,415,283 897,026 3,346,480 2,099,466 1,247,014 46 сильная россия _RUSSIA _URALSIB annual report 2008 47 annual report 2008 Credit risks Risk description _Risk of diminution in value and liquidity of lease item _Risk of lease item loss _Customer default risk Adjustable Risk Components Minimization of losses related to eventual sale of lease item Minimization of expenses related to property damage or loss Minimization of losses related to impairment of the customer’s financial standing _Analysis and projected changes in the lease item market value and liquidity _Repo and remarketing agreements with suppliers/manufacturers _Lease item monitoring _Lease item insurance _Credit approval system _Credit policy _Provisioning system (based on credit risk assessment) _Credit risk assessment and forecast procedures _Currency risk _Interest risk _Liquidity risk _Residual value risk Sensitivity of assets and liabilities to currency rate changes Sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes Maturity breakdown of assets and liabilities Minimization of losses related to financial reporting and tax accounting _Currency risk control based on Net FX position _Borrowings in the lease agreement currency _Interest policy control in the launch phase _Mirror financing by the counterparty bank (focus on trade export finance) _Adjustable contract prices if financed at floating interest rate _Regular analysis of Libor/Euribor rate changes _Hedging _Daily payment monitoring under the Cash plan _Mid and long-term liquidity control under the gap report _Mirror financing by the counterparty bank (focus on trade export finance) _Control of payment schedules while entering into lease agreements Management Tools Financial risks Risk Description Adjustable Risk Components Management tools Non-financial risks Risk Description _Operating risk _Strategic risk Adjustable Risk Components Compliance of corporate governance practices with the business scale Compliance of lease products and services with market demand and expectations Achievement of business KPIs _Business process regulations, job descriptions, and guidelines _Authorization procedures _Operating control by the operations support department _IT automation of business operations _Cost control by the budget auditing service _Transfer system _Operating (yearly) business plan and strategic development plan _KPI system Management tools strong company — strong russia 48 strong company – strong russia _Breakdown of URALSIB LC Assets and Liabilities by Currency As at Decemder 31, 2008 (IFRS), RUB‘000 Balance/ Currency Assets Liabilities Net total RUB USD EUR Total 23,492,764 16,251,651 7,241,113 9,724,080 11,989,293 (2,265,213) 7,611,211 8,456,058 (844,847) 40,828,056 36,697,002 4,131,054 ments (less provisions) with payments overdue for 90 days totaled RUB 2.57 billion. Credit risks BAD ASSETS AND POTENTIAL BAD ASSETS. The Company regularly monitors credit quality of the assets. An efficient tool to manage bad debt is formation and analysis of bad/potential bad assets registers. The definite indicator of a bad asset is a late payment under the lease agreement overdue for over 90 days. Potential bad assets include lease agreements with payments overdue for 60 days. After the overdue payment is made, the related lease agreement remains in the potential bad assets register for the next 30–60 days. IMPAIRMENT PROVISIONS. URALSIB Leasing follows the provision policy to determine an individual and joint impairment rate of net lease investments. Default payments under lease agreements is a basic indicator for the impairment rate of net lease investments and, consequently, provision amount. According to corporate managerial practices, any asset is impaired if the payment is overdue for at least 1 day. However, the impairment rate is unleveled with respect to the lease default risk. Experience shows that the highest impairment risk relates to lease agreements with payments overdue for over 90 days. This group of lease agreements has the maximum provisions. As at January 1, 2009, net lease invest- ” Although URALSIB Leasing considers lease agreements with 90 days’ defaults to be at most risk, the Company takes a conservative approach and sets up provisions for every asset group including those having no overdue payments. Conservative approach to risk assessment and provisions is adopted by the Company’s risk managers who fairly estimate an eventual increase in default payments in the current market environment. COLLATERAL FAIR VALUE (Lease collaterals). Lease investments are collateralized liabilities: the Company’s financial investments are secured by the title to lease items (apart from side collaterals such as assets, shares in the capital, guarantees, and sureties). URALSIB Leasing has established procedures to determine the acceptability and amount of collateral and to monitor fair value of the lease item and side collateral. As at December 31, 2008, the fair value of lease items under lease agreements with late payments for over 1 day (including technical default) totaled RUB 23.8 billion. The related net lease investments totaled RUB 17.7 billion. As at the end of 2008, the lease items fair value covered the credit risk by 135%. SALE OF LEASE ITEMS. Sales of lease items in 2008 show that 90% of the equipment, vehicles, and machinery under the terminated lease agreements were sold in the secondary market with an average 10% discount off the item fair value. The lease item fair value is calculated by the Company’s risk managers based on the market estimates In 2009, the Company’s Credit Policy is focused on maintaining a liquid and diversified leasing portfolio and sufficient lease yields that match accepted credit risk levels annual report 2008 49 annual report 2008 URALSIB Leasing Net Profit in 2004–2008, RUB M 750 661 569 _Management’s Discussion and Analysis 500 250 209 219 2005 2006 135 2004 2007 Net Profit In 2008, URALSIB Leasing net profit in accordance with IFRS totaled RUB 568.7 million and went down by RUB 92.2 million (14% y-o-y). URALSIB Leasing ROAA in 2006–2008, % 4% 3.5 ROAA & ROAE 3% Following 2008, return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.72% against 3.50% in 2007; return on average equity (ROAE) was 14.26% against 18.84% in 2007. Increase in provisions for bad assets resulted in decreased net income and return on equity and assets. 2.12 2% 1.72 1% Provisions In 2008, URALSIB Leasing made additional provisions for net lease investments in the amount of RUB 1.01 billion. As at December 31, 2008, provisions totaled RUB 1.66 billion. The 59% increase in net lease investments and fair estimates of relative increase in default payments in the volatile market environment prompted larger provisions. Therefore, the average provisioning rate increased from 3.09 to 4.87%. Interest Income In 2008, interest income grew by 90.7% and totaled RUB 5.62 billion due to a 75% increase in yearly average income assets and a larger interest margin (21.3% against 19%). 2006 2007 2008 URALSIB Leasing ROAE in 2006-2008, % 18.84 20% 15% 14.26 11.11 10% 5% 2006 strong company — strong russia 2007 50 2008 2008 сильная россия _RUSSIA _URALSIB annual report 2008 51 annual report 2008 Interest expense In 2008, interest expense grew by 111% to RUB 2.4 billion. Higher growth rates of interest expense, if compared to interest income, relate to a more leveraged balance resulting from large new business volumes and a 75% increase in the Company’s assets. Interest expense growth is also due to higher average funding costs (8.7% in 2007 against 9.4% in 2008). Net Interest Income Growth of interest income and interest expense resulted in net interest income increase by 77% against 2007 totaling RUB 3.1 billion. Net interest margin grew from 11.4% in 2007 to 11.8% in 2008. Non Interest Expense In 2008, non interest expense grew by 101% and totaled RUB 1.4 billion. Labor cost increased by RUB 112.7 million, or 47%, and totaled RUB 348 million. Labor cost increase is caused by expansion of the Company’s regional network in 2007–2008 (42 new branches opened) and recruitment for new rep offices. In 2008, total headcount rose from 359 to 407. Administrative and operating expenses increased by RUB 484.5 million against 2007 and totaled RUB 928.4 million primarily due to lease investments growth resulting in increased leased property tax. strong company — strong russia 52 strong company – strong russia Net Lease Investments Net lease investments totaled RUB 32.4 billion (59% yo-y) due to the following reasons: New business volumes growth by 36%; Company’s regional network and sales expansion; Opportunities to borrow on terms favorable for the Russian lease market; Higher labor efficiency of the Company’s employees.
