The Group's revenues from electricity transmission in 1H 2011 increased as compared to 1H 2010 by RUR 3,222,135 thousand (38%) due to increasing in the transmission volumes and average tariffs in 1H 2011 as compared to 1H 2010 by 38%.
Revenues from technological connection in 1H 2011 decreased by RUR 790,978 thousand (17%) as compared to the same period in 2010, which is caused by the decrease in the volume (power) of connections due to the declining number of new property contracts and delay by claimants of technical terms under current property contracts.
Operating expenses of the Group during the reporting period amounted to RUR 16,394,887 thousand, which is 67% higher than the indicator of the same period of the last year. The main reasons for the growth in operating expenses in 1H 2011 were as follows: annual increase in tariffs for network organizations, the increase in electricity transmission, the recognition of an impairment loss of fixed assets, and indexation of wages.
As a result of activities in the 1st half of 2011 JSC "Lenenergo" Group of Companies received an operating loss of RUR 588,066 thousand. Net loss for the period amounted to RUR 1,178,642 thousand (in 1H 2010 the Group's net profit constituted RUR 2,587,589 thousand).
The main reason for the formation of a net loss in 1H 2011 became revaluation of fixed assets in the sum of RUR 2,961,229 (as at June 30, 2010 - nil), recognized as an impairment loss in the profit and loss statement for the 6 months ended June 30, 2011. The Group recognized decline in the fair value of fixed assets due to the limiting the growth of tariffs for electric power transmission by the Russian Government in 2011.
In 1H 2011 the main liquidity indicators of the Group reduced, which is caused by the upcoming redemption of bonds of the 2nd and 3rd issue (classified as short-term liabilities) in January and April 2012, respectively.
To enhance the financial condition of the Group, the management undertakes the following measures:
• shift from building new power supplies and other power equipment at the end of pre-existing projects;
• orientation of the tender for election of contractors for the preferential rate - the presence of innovative construction techniques that reduce construction time;
• improving performance by implementing programs to reduce technology costs for electricity transportation on own networks of the Group and operating expenses;
• introduction of improved procedures for financial planning, focused on the timely collection of accounts receivable, restructuring liabilities in order to extend the maturity;
• availability of funds to the most favorable terms;
• gradual transition from non-monetary to monetary payments for the service of technological connection the networks of the Group.
