The increase in operating activities resulted largely from the improved situation on world energy markets and the rising demand and prices for oil and oil products. The significant improvement of the economic situation in Russia and the stable macroeconomic growth in 1999 have also significantly influenced the increase in income from the main lines of business.

The acquisition in 1999 of the oil company KomiTEK and the Bulgarian refinery Neftokhim with assets valued by an independent international appraiser at approximately USD 1.8 billion had a material impact on all items of the Balance Sheet of the Group in 1999. KomiTEK was acquired through an exchange of shares.
The financial position of the Group at 31 December 1999 is characterised by a significant improvement for all figures over 1998. Settlements in non-cash form were reduced from 40% of proceeds in 1998 to 10% in 1999.
