In the first nine months of 2006 EBITDA grew by 13.6% to USD 6,395 million from USD 5,627 million in the first nine months of 2005. In the third quarter of 2006 EBITDA decreased by 4.6% to USD 2,217 million from USD 2,325 million in the third quarter of 2005.

At the same time net income for the third quarter of 2006, adjusted for the sale of CJSC Sevmorneftegaz and minority interest in the income of subsidiaries, decreased by 15.3% to USD 1,074 million from USD 1,268 million in the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in both EBITDA and Net income in the third quarter of 2006 was largely due to higher levels of taxation, as taxes other than income tax increased by 22.4% while export duties increased by 66.2%.

In particular, net cash provided by operating activities increased by 79.3% to USD 3,560 million compared to USD 1,985 million in the first nine months of 2005. Capital expenditures increased by 64.9% to USD 2,131 million from USD 1,292 million. This increase is primarily attributed to the expansion of operations at Yuganskneftegaz and commencement of full-scale development at the Vankor field. Adjusted free cash flow before interest increased by 62.6% to USD 1,961 million from USD 1,206 million.

In the first nine months of 2006 Rosneft continued to deliver industry leading organic crude oil production growth.

Primary growth drivers were Yuganksneftegaz and Severnaya Neft as well as Sakhalin-1 project which commenced production at Chaivo field in the fourth quarter of 2005. Yuganksneftegaz increased its production by 9.8% to 41.443 million tons (1,110 kbpd) from 37.734 million tons (1,011 kbpd), while Severnaya Neft grew its production 19.5% to 4.177 million tons (112 kbpd) from 3.496 million tons (94 kbpd).

In the third quarter of 2006 natural and associated gas production by consolidated companies grew 1.8% to 3.35 bcm from 3.29 bcm in the third quarter of 2005. These increases were mainly attributed to the fields of Krasnodarneftegaz and Selkupneftegaz. Sales of gas increased by 6.6% to 2.41 bcm from 2.26 bcm.
In the first nine months of 2006 production of refined products, including third-party refineries, amounted to 16.89 million tons, an increase of 10.6% over the level of the first nine months of 2005 of 15.27 million tons.

In July 2006 the Company repaid USD 1.34 billion to ONGC, retiring in full the carry financing provided previously by ONGC to cover the Company’s share of development costs of Sakhalin 1. Upon retiring the carry financing, Rosneft began to account for its 20% share of Sakhalin 1 via the proportional consolidation method.

In July 2006, Rosneft completed the initial public offering of its shares and global depositary receipts. The total amount of funds raised during the placement was USD 10.6 billion making Rosneft’s IPO the fifth largest in the world at that time. Rosneft’s shares have been listed and are traded on Russia’s RTS and MICEX exchanges, and the GDRs are traded on the London Stock Exchange under ticker ROSN.

In October 2006 the Company completed the consolidation of 12 core subsidiaries, thereby. creating a vertically-integrated company with a single profit center and simplified operating structure allowing the Company to increase effectiveness. Following conversion of their shares in the subsidiaries into Rosneft shares, minority shareholders are now owners of the second largest oil company in Russia and will share the success of the united, integrated Company.

In December 2006, Rosneft finalized its acquisition of an interest in OJSC Udmurtneft. Previously, in April 2006, Rosneft and China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) signed an option agreement entitling Rosneft to buy an interest in OJSC Udmurtneft if Sinopec were to win a tender for the purchase of Udmurtneft from TNK-BP. In June 2006, TNK-BP announced the sale of 96.86% of Udmurtneft to Sinopec. To manage the activity of Udmurtneft a joint venture has been established with 51% and 49% ownership by the Company and Sinopec, respectively. The financing of the acquisition of the interest in Udmurtneft by the Company has been arranged by Sinopec as per the option agreement and this financing will be repaid from the cash flows of Udmurtneft directly, without recourse to Rosneft.
