Novikombank has made progress in virtually all of its business lines. The Bank has designed and implemented fundamentally new tools for handling the challenges it and its partners face in treasury services, export financing, and many other areas. Today, society faces the challenge of creating a qualitatively new economy in Russia, with innovative development of industry as the key driver. To achieve this, it is necessary to support sectors and companies capable of creating products with a strong competitive edge. In 2011, specific steps were taken in this direction at the national level. As a result, annual output in the engineering sector rose by about 10%, and two-digit growth was recorded in the machinetool manufacturing and automotive industries. Russian Technologies State Corporation and our financial partner Novikombank have been closely involved in the development of public-private partnerships to support leading companies in the manufacturing sectors. In 2011, Novikombank increased its financing of the key sectors of the economy. Quite a lot was accomplished, and the results are indeed impressive. Novikombank This is precisely why Novikombank’s client base has been growing dramatically from year to year. In 2011 alone, over 60 of the largest and most important companies in the key sectors started working actively with the Bank. Mutual trust and commitment to joint endeavours aimed at contributing to Russia's prospertity create a foundation that allows the Bank and its industrial partners to move forward. As a specialised financial institution, Novikombank has been called upon to play an increasingly larger role in financing the real sector, creating new production operations and roadmaps, and supporting innovative projects. In 2012, focused on these objectives, the Bank is continuing to increase its capital and assets while diversifying its activities and broadening its lending services to the national economy. Sergey Chemezov Statement from the President Statement from the President The creation of a unique set of treasury services – Corporate Settlement Centre – was a landmark in the development of the Bank’s business, giving our clients the opportunity to use highly advanced and innovative cash management tools. The product’s efficiency has already been demonstrated by its successful implementation at some of the holdings of Russian Technologies State Corporation. The year 2011 brought many new achievements for Novikombank. We worked actively to implement the bold plans set forth in our Development Strategy for 2010–2014, and the results are really impressive. As in 2010, last year the Bank had one of the highest development rates in Russia (over 60%), ranking 46th among leading Russian banks in terms of assets by the end of 2011. Today, our Bank is a reliable partner for the leaders of Russian business. Companies in the real sector of the economy choose Novikombank for its impeccable reputation, unwavering client responsiveness, and its focus on innovative banking products and services. Last year alone, our corporate client base expanded by almost 33% to 4,600. The dedicated efforts of the Bank and its partners underlie each of the projects implemented, which combine effectiveness for specific clients with benefits for the development of Russian industry as a whole. In 2011, pursuant to its Development Strategy, the Bank launched its regional branch network, opening offices in Rostov-on-Don, Togliatti, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Zhukovsky and Samara. In addition to broadening and diversifying our client base, this provides, first and foremost, new opportunities for servicing our traditional clients where they are based. Today, we are successfully meeting the challenge of serving as a key bank for the real sector of the Russian economy, buttressed by the presence of a new key shareholder, Russian Technologies State Corporation, the leader of Russia’s push for economic In 2011, in conjunction with the leaders of Russian innovation.

General Information Against the backdrop of the debt crisis in developed countries, Russia finished 2011 with a federal budget surplus, clearly a strong achievement. According to the Russian Ministry of Finance’s preliminary data, the budget surplus was about RUB 435 billion, or 0.8% of GDP. Despite the difficult situation in the global markets, in 2011 Russia’s total foreign debt increased by 10%, reaching USD 538.9 billion; the growth was mainly driven by the corporate sector, demonstrating foreign investors’ continued faith in the Russian economy. Russian Economy in 2011 In 2011, Russia’s economy once again showed positive upward momentum, with GDP increasing by 4.3%, according to preliminary estimates. In 2011, for the first time in Russia’s new market economic era, the CPI reached a record low of 6.1%, clear evidence of the effectiveness of the anti-inflation measures undertaken by Russia’s monetary authorities. Industrial output rose by 4.7% last year compared to 8.2% in 2010. The growth was largely fuelled by rising oil prices, the growth of the resource base, and expanding production of agricultural goods. Low interest rates on loans combined with strong business activity and diminishing risks triggered higher demand for bank financing from the business community. Despite the relatively modest rise in real household income, demand for retail loans rallied. In 2011, credit expansion was the key driver of growth in the Russian banking system, Russia’s current account balance rose from USD 70.3 billion in 2010 to USD 101.1 billion in 2011. Thanks to high oil prices, the volume of foreign trade significantly exceeded the pre-crisis level, with GDP and manufacturing output dynamics, 2008–2011 14 Inflation in Russia, 2006–2011 16 13.3% 10 5.2% 6 2 4.3% 4.0% 11.9% 13 8.2% 4.7% 0.6% 10 9.0% 8.8% 8.8% 6.1% 7 –2 4 2006 2007 2008 –6 Consumer price index, % –7.8% –10 –9.3% –14 2008 2009 2010 Gross domestic product dynamics, % Manufacturing output dynamics, % 2011 2009 2010 2011 Novikombank | Annual Report 2011 8 Dynamics of lending in the banking system, 2008–2011 35,000 60% 38% 14% 24% 0% 12% 21,000 7,000 12,510 12,542 4,017 –11% 30% 60% 43% 27% –30% 3,574 4,085 5,551 –60% –90% 2009 10% 12,778 2010 2011 9,057 8,209 7,000 21% 15% 14,000 14,063 23% 20% 15% 0 17,715 31% 21,000 26% 0 2008 28,000 36% 28,000 14,000 Customer deposits in the banking system, 2008–2011 5,907 10,416 9,818 –60% 0 –100% 2008 2009 2010 Corporate accounts and deposits, RUB billion Retail loans, RUB billion Retail deposits, RUB billion Increase in corporate loans, % Increase in corporate accounts and deposits, % Increase in retails loans, % Increase in retail deposits, % Impacted by the continuing instability in the global financial markets, the volume of Russian banks’ investments in securities rose by just 6.6% in 2011, largely neutralising their function of substituting lending, seen in 2010, when demand for money from the corporate sector and households was weak, and banks’ investments in securities surged by 35.3%. Retail deposits rose by 20.9%, exceeding RUB 11.8 billion. Corporate accounts and deposits increased by 22.7% compared to 15.0% in 2010. In 2011, the NPL rate fell from 5.7% to 4.8%, resulting in slower growth of total reserves. In 2010, the banking system’s total reserves increased by 6.9%, against just 5.8% in 2011. The pre-tax earnings of the Russian banking sector reached a record high of RUB 848.2 billion, posting growth of 47.9%.

Russia, therefore, is also expecting a difficult year, with the pace of lending growth likely to slow. The influence of the electoral cycle and the rescheduling of tariff indexation for natural monopolies may fuel inflationary pressures in the economy in the second half of 2012. Nevertheless, moderate overall growth is forecast for Russia’s economy and banking system in 2012 in the context of relatively stable oil prices. Novikombank in the Russian Banking Sector In 2011, Novikombank continued to follow its 2010–2014 Development Strategy, expanding its work with strategic partners and increasing its financing of the real sector of the economy.

One of the Bank’s top priorities is expanding its work with partners in all banking product lines. In addition to providing efficient, high-quality client service and fully satisfying each client’s requirements, this approach allows the Bank to increase its business margins by cross-selling, as well as expanding settlement and commission operations. The Bank’s flexible tariff policy, efficient business processes, and constant improvement of its distance cash-management instruments allowed it to increase the number of clients using its settlement and international payment services, which was also triggered by new products offered to the Bank’s clients, such as trade and structured financing of the delivery of goods and equipment, secured by guarantees from leading European export credit agencies and the Export Insurance Agency of Russia. In order to work as closely as possible with each client, Novikombank continued to develop business lines such as consulting on investment operations and arranging bond issues in the securities market. Additionally, the Bank devotes considerable attention to offering payroll projects for the staff of its strategic corporate clients and promoting retail banking products. Timely decision-making, a customised approach to each client and extensive knowledge of industry sectors have contributed to broadening the client base. In 2011, about 120 pacesetting companies became partners of the Bank, with the number of corporate clients increasing by nearly 30% to 4,600.

A major treasury servicing project was successfully implemented at JSC Radio-Electronic Technologies Concern, allowing the holding to monitor the cash flows of its structural units and greatly reduce its loan interest rate burden via comprehensive cooperation with the Bank. Implementation of a similar project is already under way at JSC Orion Concern, and there are plans under the Development Strategy to expand the range of clients using this service. The 31.3% growth of funds raised from corporate clients (including subordinated loans) in 2011 clearly illustrates the Bank’s large-scale cooperation with the real sector. Industrial clients’ deposits account for more than half of the Bank’s funding base, serving as a cornerstone for funding the Bank’s operations.

Financing from Novikombank gives clients new opportunities to develop their production capacities. In 2011, a large-scale project was launched to construct a hull-plating shop at JSC Far Eastern Plant Zvezda for manufacturing of new types of vessels. Last year, the Bank was directly involved in completing innovative projects such as a united engineering centre for JSC Russian Helicopters, a helicopter assembly facility for AgustaWestland, a specialised multi-media presentation centre, etc. Another important line of business for Novikombank is providing loans to industrial clients for the purpose of developing new, innovative types of products. In 2011, the Bank began financing design work for new modifications of the TU-204 passenger aircraft. Additional financing was provided for the development of the Russian regional aircraft Sukhoi Superjet, construction and reconstruction of steel plant facilities in South and Southeast Asia, deliveries of modern engineering equipment under state defence order, international military and technical cooperation projects, and many other purposes. In 2011, the Bank achieved impressive results in documentary transactions.

To help develop its operations in this line of business, Novikombank also began providing guarantees to JSC Rosenergoatom Concern.

In 2011, the Bank’s retail business developed dynamically, thanks to its impeccable reputation, expanding scope of services for all categories of clients, and the launch of its branch network in Russia’s regions. The volume of funds deposited by private clients with Novikombank exceeds RUB 12 billion, almost doubling from the beginning of 2011. Private deposits account for over 12.5% of the Bank's liabilities. The dynamics of development in this line of business reflect client trust along with the Bank’s reliability and stability. Novikombank currently provides services to over 20,000 Russian citizens. Private customer funds and number of private customers 25 20.8 20 15 12.3 10 5.4 7.4 7.0 5.2 5 0 2009 2010 2011 Client funds, RUB billion Number of clients, 000’ In 2011, the Bank issued four times more plastic cards than in 2010, with a total of 17,900 cards as of 1 January 2012. The increase was largely due to the extensive expansion of payroll projects: the list now features over 70 major industrial companies, including Russian Technologies State Corporation and its subsidiaries. In 2011, Russian economic expansion and increasing retail lending resulted in high demand for Novikombank’s Visa credit cards with a renewable credit limit of up to RUB 3.5 million. In 2011, the number of credit cards issued by the Bank increased by 150%. Along with the development of its partnership with Visa, in 2011 Novikombank joined the MasterCard Worldwide payment system. Issuing this card will help supplement and broaden the Bank’s product scope for private individuals. In 2011, as part of its retail business development in the Samara Region, Novikombank began issuing cards of the NCC (National Credit Cards) interbank payment system. This allows clients to use services at over 17,000 ATMs in Russia and perform the full cycle of settlements – from receiving salaries to making non-cash payments. As of 1 January 2012, the Bank has issued over 1,000 NCC cards. In 2011, Novikombank expanded its consumer lending in areas such as home equity loans, mortgage loans, auto loans, etc. Total retail loan volume more than doubled, reaching RUB 914.8 million. In 2011, the Bank continued improving its client service terms and further refined its banking service technologies. To help improve its work with clients, new information services were introduced on the Bank’s website and its Internet banking system (Inter@ctive), greatly increasing communication speed and enhancing the reliability of the online payment system. One of the key factors of the Bank’s successful work in the retail market is the wider range of services offered to the staff of its regional clients and the broad scope of its financial products for Russian regional households. The opening of offices in 2011 Novikombank | Annual Report 2011 20 in Togliatti, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Zhukovsky and Samara ensured significant growth of the Bank’s client base. To further develop this line of business, the Bank is refining its line of banking products customised for regional clients and is creating sales technologies aimed at promoting regional projects and online services. In 2011, new online services were introduced, including mobile banking services, self-service terminals and SMS services (mobile payments and SMS inquiries). The Bank plans to offer a new service format, Mobile Office, which will combine the functions of ATMs, self-service terminals (including Inter@ctive) and a call-centre, allowing clients to perform banking transactions in the 24/7 mode. In 2012, under its Development Strategy for 2010 –2014, Novikombank will continue to increase its transaction volume in the retail market. The main areas targeted for development in this segment are cross-sales of banking products to the staff of the Bank’s corporate clients and development of retail operations throughout the regional network. To help achieve its business objectives and satisfy clients' requirements to a greater extent, the Bank plans to accelerate development of its lending operations, including mortgage and car loan programmes for the staff of its corporate clients. Financial Market Operations Financial Market Operations In 2011, the Bank worked in financial markets amid significant growth of volatility in all segments. Faced with this challenge, Novikombank achieved impressive results in business expansion, while maintaining its traditionally high levels of liquidity and investment reliability. These objectives were met with the development of relationships with Russian banks in the interbank and forex markets and the expansion of the counterpart base, which includes VTB, Russian Agricultural Bank, Sviaz-Bank, Gazprombank, MDM Bank, Promsvyazbank, Alfa Bank, NOMOS-Bank and others. In 2011, the total value of transactions on the interbank market exceeded RUB 1 trillion, and the volume of short-term arbitrage transactions more than tripled year-on-year. The Bank’s liquidity and market risk management policy concentrated on building a portfolio of highly liquid bonds of superior credit quality. Most of the stocks in the Bank’s portfolio were blue chips. At the end of 2011, the share of bonds on the Bank of Russia’s Lombard List was nearly 80% of Novikombank’s total investment volume, with OFZs accounting for 43%. In 2011, the total volume of investment in debt securities slightly decreased. In line with Novikombank’s strategic priorities, the released funds were mainly used to finance the real sector. As of 1 January 2012, the Bank’s bond portfolio stood at RUB 15.8 billion, and the total turnover of transactions in the debt market exceeded RUB 85 billion. Consistently implementing its client operations development strategy, in 2011 Novikombank substantially updated its product line and introduced a new platform for trust management operations. Given the general instability on the stock market, the Bank focused on conservative strategies, which, amid high market volatility, enabled it to meet its profitability targets for the client portfolio, significantly exceeding the established benchmark. Among the key results in 2011 was the signing of agreements on trust management with a number of member companies and organisations of Russian Technologies State Corporation. By the end of 2011, the total value of assets under management exceeded RUB 4.5 billion. To help support its corporate clients, in 2011 the Bank participated as a co-arranger, underwriter and co-underwriter for 52 new bond placements by Russian issuers. Active involvement in public placements of debt made a significant contribution to increasing turnover in the securities market, lifting the Bank into the Top 30 of leading corporate bond market players. In 2011, the Bank continued to develop its debt financing programme by issuing bonds. Along with the previously placed RUB 2 billion bond issue, in July 2011 the Bank also successfully distributed series BO-1 three-year bonds for the total amount of RUB 3 billion. In 2012, Novikombank is introducing innovative cash management products and continuing its efforts to develop comprehensive services for financial market operations of its clients. Given the current market environment, reliability and liquidity will continue to be the key priority for both the Bank’s own operations and customer transactions. 21 22 STRENGTHENING POSITION Novikombank | Annual Report 2011 Russian industry accounts for about 60% of the Bank's loan portfolio.

Regional Business 31 Novikombank | Annual Report 2011 32 Charity Novikombank traditionally attaches great importance to charitable activities. Using its lengthy experience in corporate social responsibility, the Bank continuously develops its charity programme. The Bank’s social priorities include support for children’s education and healthcare, support for cultural projects, preserving spiritual and historical heritage, assistance to socially vulnerable groups of the population, particularly to war veterans and disabled people, and development of Russian sports. In 2011, the Bank implemented recipient-oriented charity projects in over twenty regions of Russia. Support for children’s education is a key area of Novikombank’s charity work. The Bank has long-standing relations with the Orthodox Abode of Mercy Saint Alexis Hermitage, home to over 200 students – mainly children in difficult life situations (e.g., orphans and children from problem families). The Bank renders support to the Abode’s secondary school and its teaching staff, kindergarten, daycare center and cadet school, along with funding the development of infrastructure and support facilities for the Orthodox community. Every year, Novikombank sponsors cultural events for children at the Hermitage.

The Bank has presented a number of families of children suffering from ICP with Adeli therapeutic costumes which are an important component of a highly efficient method of rehabilitation treatment.

Novikombank devotes considerable attention to cultural projects, preserving spiritual and historical heritage, boosting spiritual education, as well as restoring architectural landmarks, Russian temples and churches. The significant contribution of Novikombank and its front office to the cause of Russia’s spiritual renewal has many times been acknowledged with major awards. As part of its charitable activity aimed at preserving spiritual and historical heritage, in 2011 the Bank contributed to restoring landmarks of great historic value, such as the Vvedenskaya Church in Kalyazin town, Tver region, and the Military Glory monument in Mauthausen, Austria. In 2011, with financial backing from Novikombank, the Regional Public Organisation “Historical and Cultural Retrieval Centre Obelisk” led field expeditions to the sites of military actions of the Great Patriotic War to search for, rebury and honour the remains of Russian soldiers. Another priority area of the Bank’s charitable activities is providing assistance to veterans and people in difficult circumstances. The Bank works in cooperation with several public organisations that offer social protection and legal and financial assistance to war veterans and members of their families. In 2011, Novikombank played a substantial part in organising commemorative events and purchasing medical rehabilitation equipment for Russian military veterans. Over the years, the Bank also implemented a number of projects involving financing expensive medical treatment and improving the quality of life for disabled people. Development of Russian sports is also a priority of Novikombank’s charity policy. Novikombank makes significant regular contributions to develop professional cycling and acts as а permanent partner of the Cycling Federation of Russia. The Bank took part in organising the World Cycling Championship in Moscow, and was a sponsor of the Katyusha professional cycling team (created in 2008 and a competitor in 45 cycling races and international competitions to date). Novikombank supports initiatives to promote professional handball in Russia by providing assistance to Russia’s national handball team in partnership with the Russian National Public Organisation “Handball Union of Russia”. The Bank is also a long-term partner of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Practical Shooting Federation. Considerable attention is paid to the participation of the Bank’s employees in charitable events and programmes. Novikombank has adopted a programme to involve its employees in charity and regularly holds corporate fundraising events to provide for medical treatment and rehabilitation of children with serious diseases, as well as to finance restoration of houses of worship and support socially vulnerable groups of the population. For many years, the Bank's employees have paid regular visits to the Orthodox Abode of Mercy Saint Alexis Hermitage, helping out with everyday chores, getting to know the Hermitage’s activities and everyday life and communicating with its residents. The scope of Novikombank’s charity programmes grows hand in hand with its business, with the number and the geographical span of social projects continuously expanding. In 2011, Novikombank ranked third in the “Finances” category of the annual nationwide survey “Corporate Philanthropy Leaders,” organised by the business newspaper Vedomosti in collaboration with one of the leading international consulting and auditing firms PwC and the Russian Donors Forum expert NGO. Bearing in mind the significance of social investment and charitable work, Novikombank intends to further support and promote socially significant initiatives and projects. 33 Novikombank | Annual Report 2011 34 Strategy and Outlook In 2011, the Bank forged ahead in pursuit of the goals set in its Strategy for 2010–2014. Significant success was achieved in cooperation with strategic partners, and a firm foundation was laid for effective business diversification. In addition to traditional areas of activity (financing defence industry, aircraft engineering and oil & gas sectors), the Bank expanded its work with companies in the petrochemicals sector, the food industry, civil construction, as well as with high-tech companies, including instrument makers. Business diversification and extended partnership with Russian Technologies State Corporation, JSC AVTОVAZ, JSC Transneft, ITERA Group and FSUE TsAGI allowed the Bank to greatly exceed its growth targets in terms of volume. In 2011, the Bank surpassed its Development Strategy target for net assets by 22.6% and its goals for attracting corporate funds by 12% and met its strategic objectives for the growth of retail funds. As planned, 2011 saw intensive development of the Bank’s branch network, with launches in Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, and St. Petersburg. Following Novikombank’s acquisition of Lada-Credit, a key branch was opened in Togliatti; offices were also added in Samara and Zhukovsky. Strategic projects realised by the Bank in 2011 include: ■ Implementing the Corporate Settlement Centre project at subsidiaries of JSC Radio-Electronic Technologies Concern; signing agreements on providing this service to JSC Orion Concern and JSC Aviation Equipment Concern companies; ■ Launching payroll projects for subsidiaries of key strategic partners such as Russian Technologies State Corporation, MDB Compas, JSC AVTOVAZ, JSC Radio-Electronic Technologies Concern, and JSC Aviation Equipment Concern; ■ Expanding its financing for major clients’ foreigntrade contracts; ■ Developing Private Banking and other services. Strategic initiatives the Bank plans to launch in the near future include: ■ Optimising the management system in response to new challenges faced by the banking market; ■ Expanding its work with key partners on payroll projects, focused on extensive cross-sales development; ■ Continuing to develop the branch network in key regions for strategic and major clients; ■ Improving the management reporting system. Implementation of these plans should ensure further development of the Bank’s business, focused on servicing key partners, with potential expansion of the client base to include other major enterprises. Organisational measures to develop the management system will help increase the profitability and efficiency of operations.
