As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s absolute liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) covered all of its liabilities.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s approach to the financial management of its subsidiaries is determined by the scope and geographical extent of its activities. In 2012, the Company continued to pursue its centralized policy aimed at controlling external financing, which made it possible to keep the value of consolidated debt on the best market conditions.

The Company’s subsidiaries operate a financial management and control system based on influencing subsidiaries’ activities by means of the interaction with them through their boards of directors:

  • with respect to cash flow management of subsidiaries, through the establishment of cash flow benchmarks;
  • with respect to financial solvency management of subsidiaries, through the implementation of control procedures specified in the approved debt position management standards, prescribing a system of limits on the amount of borrowed capital and making it possible to forecast financial solvency and establish management’s authority to make financial decisions.

Although the financial market situation constantly deteriorated from early 2012; owing to the policies pursued by subsidiaries, they managed to keep the weighted average loan interest rate unchanged amid a substantial rise in lending rates. The weighted average interest rate for subsidiaries at the end of 2012 was 8.72% p.a.
