   2        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of preparation.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) under the historical cost convention as modified by the change in fair value of financial instruments.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. Critical accounting estimates and judgments are disclosed in Note 4. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Functional and presentation currency

The United States dollar ("US dollar or US$ or $") is the presentation currency for the Group's operations as management have used the US dollar accounts to manage the Group's financial risks and exposures, and to measure its performance. Financial statements of the Russian subsidiaries are measured in Russian Roubles, their functional currency.

The functional currency of the Company is the US Dollar as substantially all the cash flows affecting the Company are in US Dollars.

Translation to functional currency

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Any resulting exchange differences are included in the profit or loss component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost and denominated in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the rates of exchange as at the dates of the initial transactions. The US dollar to Russian Rouble exchange rates were 32.71 and 30.37 as of 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012, respectively.

Translation to presentation currency

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars in accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The results and financial position of each group entity having a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Any resulting exchange differences are included in the profit or loss component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost and denominated in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency the Company using the rates of exchange as at the dates of the initial transactions. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisitions are treated as assets and liabilities of the acquired entity.

(ii) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated to the functional currency of the Company at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions).

(iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

When a subsidiary is disposed of through sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment of all, or part of, that entity, the exchange differences deferred in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the profit and loss.

Uncertain tax positions

The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at the end of each reporting period. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the end of the reporting period.

Accounting standards adopted during the period

In the current period, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2013.
