Management review of financial condition for the 6 months ended June 30, 2016

Group revenues in 1H2016 decreased by 14.2% to RUB 18.9 billion compared to RUB22.1 billion in 1H2015. The decline was driven by lesser amount of high margin projects recognized in the reported period. Revenues from real estate sales accounted for 83.2% of total revenues compared to 84.4% in 1H2015.

Sales revenue by segment
