Item 3.      KEY INFORMATION

 
A.
Selected Financial Data
 
We were formed originally as the Konsta Real Estate Properties Master Fund, Ltd. in the British Virgin Islands , or BVI, on October 3, 2005 and have been domiciled in the Russian Federation since formation.  In order to reorganize into an operating company, we obtained board and shareholder approval to amend and restate our Memorandum and Articles of Association, or the Amendment, which Amendment was effectuated on December 10, 2008.  Pursuant to the Amendment, we removed the rights of members to receive redemption for any shares held by such members and changed our name to Konsta Real Estate Properties, Ltd. In furtherance of our reorganization, on January 9, 2009, the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission cancelled our certificate of recognition as a professional fund under the Mutual Funds Act, 1996.

The Company formed Russian subsidiaries to conduct its operations in Russia because, under Russian law, as a BVI corporation that conducts business operations in Russia, it must have an official representative office or a subsidiary in Russia. (The applicable laws are: (i) Article 4, Federal Law "On Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation" № 160-FZ of July 9, 1999; (ii) Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on November 30, 1989 № 1074 (edition of July 11, 1991) on approval of provisions on the establishment and operation of the USSR representative offices of foreign companies, banks and organizations; (iii) Articles 306-312, part 2 of Tax Code of Russian Federation from August 05, 2000, №117-FZ.)

The Company conducts no business operations in the British Virgin Islands. The Company is incorporated in BVI solely for tax reasons. In particular, by being incorporated in BVI, instead of Russia, and using Russian subsidiaries to conduct its operations in Russia, the Company does not pay Russian income tax at the parent company level, and does not pay any BVI income tax. The Company’s Russian subsidiaries pay Russian income and value added tax. Because the Company conducts no operations in BVI, the Company’s operations are not subject to BVI law.  Accordingly, apart from BVI corporate law under the BVI International Business Companies Act of 1984, the Company is not subject to BVI law.

The Company is not aware of any material effects of differences between BVI corporate laws applicable to the Company and Russian corporate laws that would be applicable to the Company if it were incorporated in Russia.

We had nominal operations until January 2007, at which time we began our operations.  We selected a December 31 fiscal year end.  We are filing this annual report with audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009.  Our financial statements have been audited by Intercom-Audit, an independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and the standards for Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  The Financial Statements were prepared in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IFRS.  Exchange rate information for the Russian Ruble as compared to the US Dollar, for the relevant reporting periods, is included after the tables. The information in the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.  The selected financial data provided below is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or financial performance. 
 
The following tables of Selected Financial Data are derived from the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement contained in our Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.  The Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Amounts are in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise stated.

D.           Risk Factors
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this annual report before making a decision to invest in our securities. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such event, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
GENERAL RISKS

We have experienced net losses, have a net working capital deficit as of December 31, 2009, and we may not be profitable in the future.

We experienced net losses of $632,000 and $787,000for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and we may not generate profits in the future on a consistent basis, or at all. As of December 31, 2009, we had a net working capital deficit of  US ($908,000). If we fail to achieve consistent profitability, that failure could have a negative effect on our financial condition.
 
 
10

 

We will need additional capital in the future and it may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which will impair our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In order to execute our business plan, and to sustain our operations, we may need additional funds for operating and capital expenditures, to sustain and expand sales and marketing activities, to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. If such funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, our business and financial results could suffer. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce its ability to continue to conduct business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to the existing shareholders.

We face intense competition.
 
We may be at a competitive disadvantage with respect to cost of funds in comparison to our competition.  Given that we do not have a proven source of low cost funds, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with regard to acquisitions, leasing and dispositions where others may have a lower cost of funds and thus be able to pay more for acquisitions or lease at lower rates or sell at lower prices.   
 
The inability to obtain or retain key personnel could delay or hinder implementation of our business plan, which could limit our ability to make distributions.
 
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of Roman Plavnik, Nazar Lappa, Svetlana Gromova, Michael Lakshin and Konstantin Plavnik, each of whom would be difficult to replace. If we were to lose the contributions of any of these persons our operating results could suffer. We do not intend to maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon our management’s ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and our management may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel.  If we lose or are unable to obtain the services of highly skilled personnel, our ability to implement our business plan could be delayed or hindered, and the value of our Company may decline.

 Because our Chairman owns over 50% of our outstanding common stock, he will make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
 
Our chief executive officer and chairman of the board, Roman Plavnik owns more than 50% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, he will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Dr. Plavnik may differ from the interests of the other shareholders and may result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
 
Being a foreign private issuer exempts us from certain Securities and Exchange Commission requirements that provide shareholders the protection of information that must be made available to shareholders of United States public companies.

We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States public companies including:

The rules requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, although we are required to furnish a report on Form 6-K disclosing information that we make public pursuant to the laws of the British Virgin Islands or the Russian Federation, that we are required to file by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or that we are required to furnish to our securities holders pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect to the Form 6-K;

The sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;
   
Provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; and

The sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their ordinary share ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions (i.e., a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within less than six months).

Because of these exemptions, our shareholders will not be afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies organized in the United States. In particular, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements. Because of this exemption, at any time we seek approval from our shareholders, we will not be required to file with the SEC preliminary proxy solicitation materials, but rather will prepare and deliver proxy solicitation materials to our shareholders in accordance with: (i) British Virgin Islands law, which contains no specific proxy laws, rules or regulations, and (ii) the relevant provisions of our memorandum and articles of association, and, as required, file such materials with the SEC after mailing. Although we anticipate that such materials will contain many of the same disclosures as proxy materials prepared in conformance with the U.S. proxy rules, investors are cautioned that such materials will not have been reviewed by the SEC and may not have all of the material disclosures required under U.S. proxy rules.

If we are unable to obtain immediate financing or we do not obtain sufficient financing we may not be able to complete our construction projects on a timely basis.

Our ability to continue present operations and to complete construction of our existing projects without delay and begin construction of new projects in a timely manner depends on our ability to obtain significant additional external funding.  Our ability to complete the construction of Kurortny and Orbita is dependent on our access to additional financing and capital resources at acceptable rates and on acceptable terms.  There is no assurance that additional financing will be available or on acceptable terms.  Furthermore, to obtain additional capital we may have to issue additional securities that may cause dilution to our existing shareholders.
 
 
The recent economic downturn in the Russian Federation, and globally, has limited our opportunities to obtain conventional real estate secured bank financing to continue our operations.

The recent economic downturn has limited our ability to obtain conventional real estate secured bank financing. We may be able to obtain necessary additional capital only by public or private equity offerings or equity-linked debt financings, which may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.  Any new debt financing may include covenants that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing, specific restrictions on the use of our assets as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem our stock or make investments.

Our success is dependent upon the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi taking place as scheduled and being well-attended.

Although the 2014 Winter Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in Sochi, economic conditions in Russia and world-wide, political events, war, terrorism, a boycott by athletes, public health issues, environmental conditions affecting the construction of facilities, labor strikes, natural disasters and other circumstances could cause a delay or the cancellation of the Winter Olympic Games. A delay or cancellation of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi may cause the demand for residential and other real estate to Sochi to decline, which may make it more difficult for us to sell or lease properties in our planned Kurortnyi real estate project in Sochi, or reduce the price at which we are able to sell or lease properties at our planned Kurortnyi real estate project in Sochi, which would adversely affect the demand for our real properties and, consequently, have a material adverse affect on our financial condition.

RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE
 
We are subject to all of the operating risks common in the lodging industry and our results may be adversely impacted if any of these risks materialize.   
 
To the extent we elect to purchase, develop or operate a hotel property, our results will be affected by occupancy and room rates achieved by our hotels, our ability to manage costs, foreign currency exchange rate movements related to our international operations, our relative mix of owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels, supply and demand changes for hotel rooms in our markets, the quantity and pricing and changes in the number of available hotel rooms through acquisition, development and disposition. Unfavorable changes in these factors, as well as the occurrence of other events described below, could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing which, in turn, could limit our ability to pass through operating cost increases in the form of higher room rates. Our ability to manage costs could be adversely impacted by significant increases in operating expenses, such as wages and other labor costs, healthcare, insurance, property taxes and energy, as well as increases in construction costs, resulting in lower operating margins. In addition, economic factors beyond our control may create challenges for the lodging industry and us in 2010 and beyond. A downturn in economic conditions, or travel restrictions, could adversely impact the demand for hotel rooms and put pressure on room rates. Increases in transportation and fuel costs, the financial condition of the airline industry and its impact on air travel and sustained recessionary periods could also unfavorably impact future results.
 
Unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions could reduce occupancy, purchase price or rental rates and the market value of our real estate properties, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and therefore our ability to achieve our objectives.
     
                    The market and economic conditions in the markets where our properties will be located may significantly affect the purchase price of apartments, occupancy of hotel and rental properties or rental rates on residential apartments. Decreased occupancy and/or rental rates in those markets would decrease our cash flow, which in turn, could significantly affect our ability to achieve our objectives, including those of capital appreciation and preservation of capital. The risks that may affect conditions in those markets include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
the economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business closings, industry slowdowns;
employment losses and other factors;
Availability of financing;
competition for tenants;
conditions of real estate property sectors such as an oversupply of, or a reduced demand for, certain types of real estate properties;
changes in market rental rates;
decline in population or shifting demographics that adversely affects occupancy or rental rates;
the inability or unwillingness of lessees to pay rent increases;
inability to lease properties upon termination of existing leases;
success of the Olympic games in 2014 in Sochi;
changes in tax, real estate, zoning and environmental laws that may have an adverse impact
 upon the value of real estate;
property damage or casualty losses;
unexpected expenditures for capital improvements or to bring properties into compliance with
applicable federal, state and local laws;
acts of terrorism and war;
acts of God and other factors beyond the control of our management;
the potential effect of rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other laws regulating housing, on any of our multifamily
properties, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs; and
the rental market which may limit the extent to which rents may be increased to meet increased expenses without decreasing occupancy rates.
 
 
12

 
 
The market and economic conditions experienced in the region where our properties are being developed, that we believe are the result of the global economic recession, include: a reduction in available financing, as the liquidity of Russian banks has declined; and reduced demand for rental properties and lower rental rates.

A property that experiences a vacancy could be difficult to sell or lease.
 
A property that we acquire or develop may experience a vacancy. Some of our properties may be specifically suited to the particular needs of a certain tenant based on the type of business the tenant operates. For example, many companies desire space with an open floor plan. We may have difficulty obtaining a tenant for any vacant space in our properties, particularly if the floor plan limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. If a vacancy continues for an extended period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because of the adverse affect of reduced rental revenue on the market value of a property.
 
If we sell a property by providing financing to the purchaser, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser, which could delay or reduce the distributions available to our stockholders.
 
If we decide to sell any of our properties or portions of such properties such as apartments, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for a price paid entirely in cash.  However, in some instances, we may provide financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to a purchaser, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could reduce our cash distributions to stockholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of the sale to our stockholders, or the reinvestment of the proceeds in other assets, will be delayed until the full purchase price is actually paid by the purchaser.
 
Development costs may exceed amounts that are budgeted.

The amount that we budget for the cost of developing a property is a reasonable estimate, based upon information available at the time and reasonable assumptions.  The assumptions may prove to be inaccurate.  Actual costs contributing to the overall cost of a project may differ from those estimated and overall costs may exceed the amounts budgeted for a project.  In such event, the project may be delayed or be unable to complete in the absence of additional funds to pay the increased costs, or though completed may be economically impractical to operate if returns are insufficient to cover the costs of construction and the cost of construction funds.  Any of these events may have an adverse affect on our financial condition.

Our inability to retain construction companies on favorable terms to complete the development of our properties or their inability to obtain construction materials, equipment and labor in a timely manner and at market prices could have a material adverse affect on our business, as development delays and increased costs may adversely affect the profitability of a project.
 
The completion of our construction projects depends upon our ability to retain construction companies on favorable terms, the contractors’ timely performance of their contractual obligations and the ability of our contractors to obtain adequate construction materials, equipment and labor on a timely basis. If we are unable to retain a contractor, a contractor willfully fails to perform or is unable to perform because it cannot obtain adequate construction material, equipment or labor on a timely basis, we may not be able to complete our projects according to our budgets or in a timely manner.  This may adversely affect profitability and our financial condition.
 
Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely affect your returns.
 
We will attempt to assure that all of our properties are comprehensively insured (including liability, fire, and extended coverage) in amounts sufficient to permit replacement in the event of a total loss, subject to applicable deductibles. However, our cash assets will be reduced to the extent of any such insurance deductible and/or in the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss which is not fully covered by insurance. Certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, resulting from, among other things, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes or terrorist acts may not be insurable or, if insurable, at premium costs that are economically practical for us to maintain. Further, we may not have a sufficient external source of funding to repair or reconstruct a damaged property, and we cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future.
 
 
13

 
 
As a property owner, we may be subject to unknown environmental liabilities.

An owner of property can incur liability for environmental contamination created by the presence or discharge of hazardous substances on the property. We can face such liability regardless of our knowledge of the contamination; the timing of the contamination; the cause of the contamination; or the party responsible for the contamination of the property.

There may be environmental problems of which we are unaware associated with our properties.  The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to use or sell that property and we may incur substantial remediation costs. The discovery of environmental liabilities attached to our properties could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition.

It is possible that some of our properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediation of the problem.  The existence of harmful mold can adversely affect the use or sale of a property.

There can be no assurance that all such adverse environmental conditions will be detected and there can be no assurance that our properties will not become contaminated after acquisition or development.

The costs of compliance with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our income and the cash available for our operations.
 
All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to laws, ordinances and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground petroleum storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals.
 
Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures.
 
Although initial protests by independent environmental organizations have not garnered a great deal of support, renewed protests may develop as construction of the projects proceeds. These protests may delay development or result in more expensive property development.
 
If we are unsuccessful in competing against our competitors, our market share could decline or our growth could be impaired and, as a result, our financial results could suffer.
 
Competition in the real estate development industry is intense, and there are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. We may experience competition for potential real estate property development from individuals, corporations, banks and insurance investment accounts.  Increased competition could hurt our business, as it could prevent us from acquiring attractive parcels of land on which to build apartment buildings and shopping centers or make such acquisitions more expensive, hinder our market share expansion, and lead to pricing pressures on our real estate developments that may adversely impact our margins and revenues. If we are unable to successfully compete, our financial results could suffer and the value of, or our ability to service, our debt could be adversely affected. Our competitors may independently develop land and construct housing units that are superior or substantially similar to our products. Furthermore, some of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources and lower costs of funds than we do. Many of these competitors also have longstanding relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in the markets in which we operate. We currently build in several of the top markets in the Russian Federation and, therefore, we expect to continue to face additional competition from new entrants into our markets.

The termination or expiration of our leases for Kurortny and Orbita will adversely affect our ability to complete the projects.

We lease the locations underlying our development projects.  The expiration dates of these leases do not allow sufficient time for us to complete the projects and sell or lease them.  There is no assurance that the expiration dates will be extended for periods that are sufficient to allow us to complete the projects, on terms that are acceptable.  If we are unable to obtain extensions of the leases for period that are sufficient to allow us to complete the projects, we will lose the entire value of the projects and your investment will become worthless.

Our current leases contain provisions for the termination of the lease if we do not meet certain construction milestones.  We have failed to meet certain development milestones. As a result, we cannot assure you that the landlords will not exercise their rights to terminate our leases after their expirations: for Kurortny after March 11, 2011 and for Orbita after June 19, 2011. Further delays in construction also may jeopardize our rights under the leases.  While the architectural-engineering plans for the Kurortny project have received governmental review and approval, the plans for Orbita are undergoing review, but have not yet received approval. There is no assurance that the plans will receive the required approvals in time to complete construction in compliance with the requirements of the lease for the project or ever.

In addition, our leases will expire within the next two years and do not contain options to renew. Although we believe that we will be able to renew our leases on similar terms there is no guarantee that we will renew the leases on favorable terms or at all.  We may not be able to renew leases on favorable economic terms or maintain our existing locations thereby requiring additional capital expenditure to obtain new construction permits and new leases to complete our construction plans.  If we do not renew our leases on favorable terms or at all our growth and profitability could be harmed and we could lose all amounts we invested in these projects prior to the expiration of the leases.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN RUSSIA
 
We do not carry all of the insurance coverage customary in many countries for a business of our size and nature, and as a result could experience substantial loss or disruption.
 
                The insurance industry is not yet well developed in Russia, and many forms of insurance protection common in other countries are not yet available in Russia on comparable terms, including coverage for business interruption. At present, we have no coverage for business interruption or loss of key management personnel. We do not maintain separate funds or otherwise set aside reserves for these types of losses. Any such loss may cause substantial disruption and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Failure to comply with existing laws and regulations or to obtain all approvals, authorizations and permits required to develop our properties, or the findings of government inspections or increased governmental regulation of our properties, could result in substantial additional compliance costs or various sanctions which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
 
Our operations and properties are subject to regulation by various government entities and agencies in connection with obtaining and renewing various licenses, approvals, authorizations and permits, as well as with ongoing compliance with existing laws, regulations and standards. Regulatory authorities exercise considerable discretion in matters of enforcement and interpretation of applicable laws, regulations and standards, the issuance and renewal of licenses, approvals, authorizations and permits and in monitoring licensees' compliance with the terms thereof. Russian authorities have the right to, and frequently do, conduct periodic inspections of our operations and properties throughout the year. Any such future inspections may conclude that we or any of our subsidiaries have violated laws, decrees or regulations, and we may be unable to refute such conclusions or remedy the violations.
 
Our failure to comply with existing laws and regulations or to obtain all approvals, authorizations and permits required to develop our properties or the findings of government inspections may also result in the imposition of fines or penalties or more severe sanctions including the suspension, amendment or termination of our licenses, approvals, authorizations and permits, or in requirements that we cease certain of our business activities, or in criminal and administrative penalties applicable to our officers. Any such decisions, requirements or sanctions, or any increase in governmental regulation of our operations, could increase our costs and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations (although our operating results have not fluctuated in the past as a result of such risks).
 
Delay in our ability to obtain all authorizations and permits required to develop our properties may delay the completion of our development projects and hinder our results of operations.
 
We are subject to local, state and federal statutes and rules regulating, among other things certain developmental matters, building and site design, and matters concerning the protection of health and the environment. Our operating expenses may be increased by governmental regulations, such as building permit allocation ordinances, impact and other fees and taxes, which may be imposed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services and improvements. Any delay or refusal to grant us necessary licenses, permits or approvals from government agencies could have an adverse effect on our operations. Because we currently operate in only two markets, any increase in costs or delays due to regulatory changes in one or more of our markets may have a proportionately greater impact on us than on other real estate development companies that operate in more markets or more regions of the country.

 Political and governmental instability in Russia could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the value of our Ordinary Shares.
 
Since 1991, Russia has sought to transform from a one-party government with a centrally-planned economy to a democracy with a market economy. As a result of the sweeping nature of the reforms, and the failure of some of them, the Russian political system remains vulnerable to popular dissatisfaction, including dissatisfaction with the results of privatizations in the 1990s, as well as to demands for autonomy from particular regional and ethnic groups.
 
Current and future changes in the Russian government, major policy shifts or lack of consensus between various branches of the government and powerful economic groups could disrupt or reverse economic and regulatory reforms. Any disruption or reversal of reform policies could lead to political or governmental instability or the occurrence of conflicts among powerful economic groups, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the value of our common stock.

The election of a new governmental body in any of the municipalities of the Russian Federation in which the company operates or intends to commence operations may create a material adverse effect on our business.

We have certain agreements and arrangements with the current government in Sochi that has allowed us to lease land and obtain building permits for the construction of the Kurortny project. The election of a new governmental body in Gagarin, however, may impact or disrupt our ability to obtain building permits for the Orbita project. Such disruption could have a material negative impact on our operations and financial results.
 
Civil conflicts could adversely affect the value of investments in Russia, which could result in a decline in the value of our common stock.
 
Ethnic, religious, historical and other divisions have, on occasion, given rise to tensions and, in certain cases, military conflict, such as the historical conflict in Chechnya, which has brought normal economic activity within Chechnya to a halt and disrupted the economies of neighboring regions. The further intensification of violence, including terrorist activities, or its continued spread to other parts of Russia, could have significant political consequences, including the imposition of a state of emergency in some or all of Russia. Moreover, any terrorist attacks and the resulting heightened security measures may cause disruptions to domestic commerce, and could materially adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock.
 
 
15

 
 
Any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Upon the effectiveness of the registration of our securities, we will become subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA. Although we endeavor to do business in the Russian Federation only with parties that do not tolerate corruption, the region is known to experience corruption. Our activities in the Russian Federation create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by our employees, consultants or agents or one of our subsidiaries that could be in violation of the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to discourage these practices by our employees and we will endeavor to maintain safeguards against such practices. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants or agents of our company or of our subsidiaries may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

RISKS RELATING TO THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN RUSSIA
 
Emerging markets such as Russia are subject to greater risks than more developed markets and financial turmoil could disrupt our business, as well as cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.
 
Generally, investment in emerging markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved in, and are familiar with, investing in such markets. Emerging markets such as Russia are also subject to rapid change, and financial turmoil in any emerging market country tends to adversely affect prices of the stock of companies operating in other emerging market countries as investors move their money to more stable, developed markets. As has happened in the past, financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in Russia and adversely affect the Russian economy.

Russia has been undergoing a rapid and uneven transition to a market-oriented economy and in prior years has experienced high inflation. There is no certainty that economic measures undertaken by the Russian government will successfully improve economic conditions or that the transition to a market-oriented economy will be accomplished.

The Russian banking system remains underdeveloped, and another banking crisis could place severe liquidity constraints on our business.
 
Russia's banking and other financial systems are less developed and regulated than those of many other developed countries, and Russian legislation relating to banks and bank accounts is subject to varying interpretations and inconsistent application.
 
There are currently a limited number of creditworthy Russian banks, most of which are located in Moscow and the largest of which are state-owned. Of the $13,000 cash balance we had as of December 31, 2009, our entire cash balance was held in Russian banks in US Dollar denominations.  There are few, if any, safe ruble-denominated instruments in which we may invest our excess ruble cash. Another banking crisis or the bankruptcy or insolvency of the banks from which we receive or with which we hold our funds could result in the loss of our deposits or affect our ability to complete banking transactions in Russia, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
 
Our business can be affected by currency rate fluctuation, as all of our operations will be in Russia and in Russian rubles.

All of our development operations are, and will continue to be, in Russia and in Russian Rubles; therefore we will be affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into Russian Rubles for our operations, appreciation of Russian Rubles against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Conversely, if we decide to convert our Russian Rubles into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making a dividend payment on our Ordinary Shares, interest payments or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Russian Ruble the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Russian Rubles we convert would be reduced. To date, however, we have not engaged in transactions of either type.

For the last six years the Russian Ruble has risen 30% against the US Dollar. To protect our business, we may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts with major financial institutions to hedge overseas transactions and limit our exposure to those currency fluctuations. If we are not able to successfully protect ourselves against those currency rate fluctuations, then our profits will also fluctuate which could cause us to record less profits or incur losses.

RISKS RELATING TO RUSSIAN LEGISLATION AND THE RUSSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM
 
Weaknesses in the Russian legal system create an uncertain environment for investment and business activity and could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
 
Russia is still developing the legal framework required to support a market economy, and its legal system is characterized by numerous uncertainties and inconsistencies.

Any of these weaknesses could affect our ability to enforce our rights under our licenses and under our contracts, or to defend ourselves against claims by others. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that regulators, judicial authorities or third parties will not challenge our compliance with applicable laws, decrees and regulations.
 
Selective or arbitrary government action may have an adverse effect on our business and the value of our Ordinary Shares.
 
Government authorities have a high degree of discretion in Russia and have at times exercised their discretion selectively or arbitrarily, without hearing or prior notice, and sometimes in a manner that is influenced by political or commercial considerations. The government also has the power, in certain circumstances, to interfere with the performance of, nullify or terminate contracts. Selective or arbitrary actions have included withdrawal of licenses, sudden and unexpected tax audits, criminal prosecutions and civil actions. Federal and local government entities have also used common defects in documentation as pretexts for court claims and other demands to invalidate and/or to void transactions, apparently for political purposes. We cannot assure you that regulators, judicial authorities or third parties will not challenge our compliance (including that of our subsidiaries) with applicable laws, decrees and regulations in Russia. Selective or arbitrary government action could have a material adverse effect on our business and on the value of our Ordinary Shares.
 
If the Russian Federal Anti-monopoly Service were to conclude that we acquired or created a new company in contravention of anti-monopoly legislation, it could impose administrative sanctions and require the divestiture of this company or other assets.
 
Our business has grown in part through the acquisition and establishment of companies, many of which required the prior approval of or subsequent notification to the Russian Federal Anti-monopoly Service or its predecessor agencies. In part, relevant legislation restricts the acquisition or establishment of companies by groups of companies or individuals acting in concert without this approval or notification. This legislation is vague in parts and subject to varying interpretations. If the Federal Anti-monopoly Service were to conclude that an acquisition or establishment of a new company was effected in contravention of applicable legislation and competition has been reduced as a result, it could impose administrative sanctions and require the divestiture of this company or other assets, adversely affecting our business strategy and our results of operations.
 
If one of our principal subsidiaries is forced into liquidation due to negative net assets, our results of operations could suffer.
 
If at the end of any fiscal year a Russian company's net assets as determined in accordance with Russian accounting regulations are below the minimum amount of charter capital required by Russian law, the company is required to convene a shareholders’ meeting to adopt a decision to liquidate. If it fails to do so within a "reasonable period," the company's creditors may request early termination or acceleration of the company's obligations to them, as well as damages, and governmental authorities may seek to cause the involuntary liquidation of the company. Under an earlier version of this law, the company's shareholders could also bring an action to force the liquidation of the company. It is unclear under Russian law whether a historical violation of this requirement may be retroactively cured, even if a company later comes into compliance with the requirement. On occasion, Russian courts have ordered the involuntary liquidation of a company for having negative net assets even if the company has continued to fulfill its obligations and had net assets in excess of the minimum amount at the time of liquidation.
 
There has been no judicial or other official interpretation of what constitutes a "reasonable period" within which a company must act to liquidate. If any of our subsidiaries were to be liquidated involuntarily, we would be forced to reorganize the operations we currently conduct through that subsidiary. Although we are formed under the law of the British Virgin Islands, our subsidiaries are Russian companies. The liquidation of any of our subsidiaries would result in the termination of some of our permits or licenses and we cannot assure you that we would be able to secure new licenses needed to continue our operations. Accordingly, any liquidation could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
 
17

 
 
Shareholder liability under Russian legislation could cause us to become liable for the obligations of our subsidiaries.
 
The Russian Civil Code, the Law on Joint Stock Companies and the Law on Limited Liability Companies generally provide that shareholders in a Russian joint stock company or limited liability company are not liable for the obligations of the company and bear only the risk of loss of their investment. This may not be the case, however, when one person, or an effective parent, is capable of determining decisions made by another, or an effective subsidiary. The effective parent bears joint and several responsibility for transactions concluded by the effective subsidiary in carrying out these decisions if:
 
• this decision-making capability is provided for in the charter of the effective subsidiary or in a contract between the companies; and
• the effective parent gives obligatory directions to the effective subsidiary.
 
In addition, an effective parent is secondarily liable for an effective subsidiary's debts if an effective subsidiary becomes insolvent or bankrupt as a result of the action or inaction of an effective parent. This is the case no matter how the effective parent's capability to determine decisions of the effective subsidiary arises. For example, this liability could arise through ownership of voting securities or by contract. In these instances, other shareholders of the effective subsidiary may claim compensation for the effective subsidiary's losses from the effective parent that caused the effective subsidiary to act or fail to act, knowing that such action or inaction would result in losses. Accordingly, our position as an effective parent of our subsidiaries, could cause us to be liable in some cases for the debts of our effective subsidiaries. Although the total indebtedness of our effective subsidiaries is currently immaterial, it is possible that we could face material liability in this regard in the future, which could materially adversely affect our business and our results of operations.
 
Changes in the Russian tax system or arbitrary or unforeseen application of existing rules could materially adversely affect our financial condition.
 
Our tax burden may become greater than the estimated amount that we have expensed to date and paid or accrued on our balance sheets. Although we are domiciled in the British Virgin Islands and there is currently no income, estate, corporation gains or other taxes payable by us, some of our subsidiaries are domiciled in the Russian Federation.  Russian tax authorities have often been arbitrary and aggressive in their interpretation of tax laws and their many ambiguities, as well as in their enforcement and collection activities. Many companies are often forced to negotiate their tax bills with tax inspectors who may demand higher taxes than applicable law appears to provide. Any additional tax liability, as well as any unforeseen changes in Russian tax laws, could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations or cash flows in a particular period. We have at times accrued substantial amounts for contingent tax liabilities, a substantial portion of which accruals we have reversed as contingencies have been resolved favorably or changes in circumstances have occurred. The amounts currently accrued for tax contingencies may not be sufficient to meet any liability we may ultimately face.  
 
Under Russian accounting and tax principles, financial statements of Russian companies are not consolidated for tax purposes. As a result, each Russian-registered entity in our group pays its own Russian taxes and we cannot offset the profits or losses in any single entity against the profits and losses of any other entity. Consequently, our overall effective tax rate may increase as we expand our operations, unless we are able to implement an effective corporate structure that minimizes the effect of these Russian accounting and tax norms.

The Russian tax system imposes additional burdens and costs on our operations in Russia, and complicates our tax planning and related business decisions. The uncertainty involved potentially exposes us to significant fines and penalties and enforcement measures despite our best efforts at compliance, and could result in a greater than expected tax burden on our subsidiaries. These factors raise the risk of a sudden imposition of arbitrary or onerous taxes on our operations in Russia. This could adversely affect our business and the value of our Ordinary Shares.
 
Any US or other foreign judgments that may be obtained against us may be difficult to enforce against us in Russia.
 
Although we are a British Virgin Islands corporation, subject to suit in the BVI and other courts, we have no operations in BVI, many of our assets are located in Russia, and most of our directors and their assets are located outside the BVI. Although arbitration awards are generally enforceable in Russia, judgments obtained in the United States or in other foreign courts, including those with respect to US federal securities law claims, may not be enforceable in Russia. There is no mutual recognition treaty between the United States and the Russian Federation, and no Russian federal law provides for the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce any US or other foreign court judgment obtained against our company, any of our operating subsidiaries or any of our directors in Russia.
 
Although the 2014 Winter Olympic Games are designated to be held in Sochi, Russia, they may not take place as scheduled.

           While it is our intention to complete our projects and sell them well in advance of the beginning of the Games, there is no assurance that an adverse event, such as the declaration of a boycott or announcement of a postponement, which would diminish purchase and leasing demand for our properties, will not be made prior to completion of such sale or leasing activities.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MANAGEMENT
 
Our management has very broad investment guidelines for assessing properties and development projects.
 
          Our management will have very broad guidelines and will have great latitude within the broad parameters of our business plan in determining the types of assets it may select as proper development opportunities for us.  Accordingly, subject to the overall supervision and control of our board of directors, our management will exercise substantial discretion in connection with the acquisition of real estate related properties, as well as in connection with the management, operation and development of such real estate property. Our board of directors will review our investment guidelines on at least an annual basis and our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis or, in each case, as often as it deems appropriate.
 
Our chairman will face conflicts of interest relating to time management.
 
                                During times of intense real estate market activity, Dr. Plavnik, our chairman and CEO, may devote less time and resources to our business than usual since he has investments in other companies that are involved in real estate development. If our chairman, for any reason, is not able to obtain development opportunities for us consistent with our investment objectives in a timely manner, we may have lower returns on our investments.

Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management and accounting personnel.

We are dependent on our senior management for the implementation of our business plan,, achievement of strategic goals and operation of our day-to-day activities. In addition, the professional experience of members of senior management is important to the conduct of our business. No assurance can be given that management will continue providing their services to us. We are not insured against the risk of death or disability of key personnel.
 
We are also dependent on certain qualified personnel for financial reporting in accordance with IFRS and SEC requirements. In Russia, there are only a limited number of individuals with adequate IFRS and SEC reporting expertise and there is increasing demand and intense competition for such personnel as more Russian companies are beginning to prepare financial statements on the basis of IFRS. Such competition makes it difficult for us to hire and retain such personnel. The loss of any of such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATING TO BEING INCORPORATED IN THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

Because we are a British Virgin Islands company, you may not be able to enforce judgments against us that are obtained in United States courts.

We have been advised by British Virgin Islands counsel that judgments of United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States may be difficult to enforce in British Virgin Islands courts and that there is doubt as to whether British Virgin Islands courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in British Virgin Islands courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

Because we are a British Virgin Islands company, your rights as a shareholder may be less clearly established as compared to the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in the United States.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum of association and articles of association and by the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004. Principles of law relating to such matters as the validity of corporate procedures, the fiduciary duties of management and the rights of our shareholders may differ from those that would apply if we were incorporated in the United States or another jurisdiction. The rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as are the rights of shareholders in many the United States. Thus, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by our board of directors or our controlling shareholder than they would have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in another jurisdiction.

Item 4.      INFORMATION ON THE REGISTRANT

A.           History and Development of the Registrant
 
On October 3, 2005, we were incorporated as the Konsta Real Estate Properties, Master Fund, Ltd. in the British Virgin Islands under the British Virgin Islands International Business Companies Act of 1984 with its domicile in the Russian Federation.  On December 10, 2008, we changed our name to Konsta Real Estate Properties, Ltd.  Our principal place of business is c/o Riokom, LLC : 117485, Moscow, Russia, 96 Profsouznaya Street, entrance №4, office №141 and its telephone number is 7-495-649-639-1.  Our registered agent is Ogier Fiduciary Services (BVI) Limited of Nemours Chambers, Qwomar Complex, 4th floor, Road Town, Tortola British Virgin Islands.  Our office in the United States is located at KREP Ltd 825 Palisades Avenue, Suite B4, Fort Lee, NJ 07024.

The Company formed Russian subsidiaries to conduct its operations in Russia because, under Russian law, as a BVI corporation that conducts business operations in Russia, it must have an official representative office or a subsidiary in Russia. (The applicable laws are: (i) Article 4, Federal Law "On Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation" № 160-FZ of July 9, 1999; (ii) Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on November 30, 1989 № 1074 (edition of July 11, 1991) on approval of provisions on the establishment and operation of the USSR representative offices of foreign companies, banks and organizations; (iii) Articles 306-312, part 2 of Tax Code of Russian Federation from August 05, 2000, №117-FZ.)

The Company conducts no business operations in the British Virgin Islands. The Company is incorporated in BVI solely for tax reasons. In particular, by being incorporated in BVI, instead of Russia, and using Russian subsidiaries to conduct its operations in Russia, the Company does not pay Russian income tax at the parent company level, and does not pay any BVI income tax. The Company’s Russian subsidiaries pay Russian income and value added tax. Because the Company conducts no operations in BVI, the Company’s operations are not subject to BVI law.  Accordingly, apart from BVI corporate law under the BVI International Business Companies Act of 1984, the Company is not subject to BVI law.

The Company is not aware of any material effects of differences between BVI corporate laws applicable to the Company and Russian corporate laws that would be applicable to the Company if it were incorporated in Russia.

Corporate development

On February 22, 2007, we formed a subsidiary called Jirmalia Holdings, Ltd. a limited company, or Jirmalia, under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.  We own 99% of the issued and outstanding equity of Jirmalia with the remaining one percent held by the Republic of Cyprus.  Jirmalia is the parent company of two operating subsidiaries that are organized under the laws of the Russian Federation.  On February 28, 2007, we, through Jirmalia, formed Riokom, LLC a limited liability company, or Riokom.  Riokom’s primary business is the holding, development and building of assets to be held for less than one year. On November 6, 2007, we, through Jirmalia, formed Icecom, LLC, a limited liability company, or Icecom, with its primary objective being the development and construction of assets to be held for more than one year. We consolidate the financial statements of our subsidiaries. On or about October 1, 2008, Icecom acquired one third (1/3) of the issued and outstanding shares of Somo, LLC, a Russian Federation limited liability company, or Somo.  The remaining two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Somo were owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Plavnik. In July 2010 Dr. Plavnik transferred his interest in Somo to Riokom.

On September 30, 2005, Konsta Real Estate Properties Management, LLC, a Delaware a limited liability company, or the Fund Manager, was formed for the sole purpose of exclusively managing the operations of the Konsta Real Estate Properties Master Fund, Ltd.  The management and directors that oversaw the activities of the Konsta Real Estate Properties Master Fund, Ltd. were affiliates of the Fund Manager.  At the time we became an operating company and cancelling our fund license, the Fund Manager ceased its operations.  On December 16, 2008, we terminated the Investment Management Agreement with the Fund Manager.  We are currently managed by its board of directors and executive officers.  The Fund Manager remains our wholly owned subsidiary and is a shell company without an operating business.  

Prior to December 5, 2008, the Company had a relationship with Konsta Real Estate, Corp. a corporation incorporated under the laws of Nevis, or KREP Corp.,  whose sole purpose was to perform all administrative duties and functions necessary or appropriate in connection with the activities of the Konsta Real Estate Properties Master Fund, Ltd.  At the time we cease to function as a fund, KREP Corp. ceased to function as the administrator and subsequently wound up its operations.

On October 18, 2005, the Company formed the Konsta Real Estate Properties, Fund, L.P. a Delaware limited liability company, or the Partnership.  The purpose of the Partnership was to invest its assets in the Konsta Real Estate Properties Master Fund, Ltd.  The Partnership has never had any operations.  The Company intends to wind up the Partnership and terminate its existence.
 
We amended and restated our Memorandum and Articles of Association on December 10, 2008 to cancel redemption rights of our members and to cease operating as a fund under the Mutual Funds Act, 1996. On January 30, 2009, we received a confirmation from the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission of the cancellation of its certificate of recognition as a professional fund under the Mutual Funds Act, 1996 effective January 9, 2009. In the first fiscal quarter of 2009, further to its termination as a professional fund, our parent company and sole shareholder, Konsta Real Estate Properties Offshore Fund, Ltd. a British Virgin Islands Company, or the Offshore Fund, made a distribution of all of our shares to 225 of its shareholders.
 
Since our inception, we have received investor funds totaling $23,586,000.  This has been our sole source of capital.  Since our inception, neither we nor our subsidiaries have disposed of any material assets not in the ordinary course of business, nor undergone a material change in the types of products or services rendered. Since inception we have not made any asset divestitures.  We have not received nor made any public takeover offers since our inception.

B.           Business Overview

Company Overview

Konsta Real Estate Properties Ltd. is a British Virgin Islands limited company that was formed in 2005.  Our operations began on January 1, 2007.  Our principal business is to acquire, develop and invest in real estate.  Our acquisition and development strategy has focused, and will to focus, primarily in the Sochi, Russia real estate market, and secondarily on Moscow and St. Petersburg, in Russia,  and then on other major cities in the Russian Federation, or the RF.  

Through our operating subsidiaries, we are in the process of developing two real properties, none of which to date have been completed. As of the date of this filing, we do not have any other real estate assets or any other projects or acquisitions in progress or development.

The first project is known as Kurortnyi, in the City of Sochi, Russia. Our subsidiaries, Riokom and Icecom own Somo, which leases the land for the Kurortnyi project from administration of Sochi. This project is planned as a mixed use, business-class residential project that will include 117 apartments, including 13 penthouses.  It is expected that ninety percent of all apartments will have a sea view. The total size of the project is planned to be 15,791 sq. meters and also is planned to include: a medical center, underground parking for 90 cars, a fitness center with an indoor pool, a restaurant, a beauty spa and a mini-market.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $30 million, of which $14,820,000 has been spent to date. The estimated completion of construction is expected for the fourth quarter of 2011, at which time we expect the project to be sold.  However, we plan to operate the medical center for 10 years after the completion of construction.
 
 
21

 

The other project, is known as Orbita, in the City of Gagarin, Russia. Our subsidiary Riokom leases the land for the Orbita project from Administration of Gagarin. This project is planned as a mixed use, business-class residential project what will include seven floors. The total size of the project is planned to be 13,775 sq. meters.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be US$16 million, of which US$7,793,000 has been spent to date. The estimated completion of construction is expected for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Our real estate development activities seek to maximize returns for investors by developing residential, business and commercial properties. By completing the value-added activities of development permitting and construction of the improvements on a property, rather than acquiring properties that already have development permits or completed improvements, we create and retain that value for our investors, which contributes to the overall return to be realized upon their investment.

Our development cycle is segmented into three stages.  The first stage is a period of approximately nine months, during which time we acquire a property, obtain construction permits, fulfill technical building conditions and secure licenses and permits required to develop the real estate.  During the second stage, which can span a year or more, we complete commence and complete construction of the improvements on the property and acquire operational permits. During the third stage, which commences upon substantial completion of construction, we register our rights with respect to the property and commence leasing or sales activities.  In some cases, a property may be sold prior to the completion of construction.
 
Currently, we have all required licenses and permits to develop project Kurortny in Sochi and have applied to obtain construction permits for Orbita. These two properties total approximately 25,800 square meters.  For financial statement purposes, we perform valuations on these properties on an annual basis in accordance with IFRS standards.  As at December 31, 2009, these properties, together, have appraised market value at $35,674, 840.

We presently do not maintain any insurance coverage for our business projects.
 
Operations and Principal Activities
 
The objectives of the Company are to:
 
Acquire or develop and sell or lease completed real estate projects; and
realize income from leasing or gains from sales of completed real estate projects.
 
The only property management activities that we presently contemplate providing would be to self manage our own projects.  Accordingly, we do not expect to generate revenue from real estate property management activities.
 
Currently, we are developing two real estate properties: Kurortny and Orbita and have contracted with construction companies to construct the improvements on the properties.

Distributions to Investors

Since we have not generated any revenues from our current projects, we have not yet formulated any policy regarding distributions to investors.  For revenues generated by sales of entire projects, we contemplate making distributions to investors at the time of closing on the sale, subject to reserves to meet our projected cash needs for operations.  For revenues generated by apartment sales or the leasing of residential, retail or commercial space, we contemplate making distributions to investors on a quarterly basis, subject to reserves to meet our projected cash needs for operations.

            Kurortny

In 2007, we undertook the development of a project in Sochi, Russia called Kurortny. Sochi has a population of approximately 330,000.  Spread along the Black Sea, Sochi has one of Russia’s warmest and sunniest climates, with an average of 300 days of sunshine annually, and an extended summer that remains warm enough for swimming from June through October, with average temperatures at 80 degrees and an average water temperature just slightly lower. This makes Sochi an ideal resort/vacation area and it is visited by more than 3 million people every year.  In addition to being a tourist attraction, the city is often chosen to host political talks, as well as business conferences and cultural festivals. Annually, Sochi hosts an average of more than 400 events, which draw over 1.5 million people.

Sochi also borders the Caucasus Mountains and snow is abundant at higher elevations. The abundance of snow is one of the reasons Sochi was chosen as the host city for the XXII Winter Olympic Games in 2014.

In furtherance of its bid to host the Winter Olympic Games, the Russian government adopted a special federal program with an aggregate budget exceeding $12 billion. Of this, $7.3 billion will be provided from the federal budget, $400 million by the Krasnodar province and the Sochi authorities, while the remaining $4.3 billion will be provided from private sources.

Currently the city’s infrastructure does not meet the high demands of the International Olympic Committee - the lack of quality sports facilities and an underdeveloped infrastructure are obvious. However, the Russian Olympic Committee has already announced plans to build the numerous new sports venues needed. A total of 11 competition venues will be split between a pair of venue clusters – one coastal, one mountain – set, 48 km from one another. A pair of Olympic Villages will also be built: the main Olympic Village is situated on the Black Sea coast, the sub-Village in the mountains. This area’s annual visitor figures, currently around 3 million, are expected to rise to 6 million by 2014, suggesting that these facilities should have a viable future once the games are over.

Sochi has proposed a development concept based two centers 49 kilometers/50 minutes apart. The Olympic Park would be constructed 25 kilometers from Sochi on the Black Sea coast, about seven kilometers from Sochi airport. It will include all ice venues, the main Olympic Village, the Olympic Stadium for Opening and Closing Ceremonies, the Medals Plaza, the International Broadcast Center/Main Press Center (IBC/MPC) and International Olympic Committee hotels. The Krasnaya Polyana mountain zone would contain all snow and sliding venues, an Olympic Village and a media sub-center. In Khostinskaya Bay, locals plan to build a new quay and a marina, an artificial island (similar to those built in the UAE), which will be linked to the shore by bridges. The projected cost of the development is $800 million. Another coastal project is the Stary Gorod complex on Adler Quay, estimated at approximately 155 million euros, or $212 million. Dutch architect Erick van Egeraat has designed a Russia-shaped luxury island to be created in the Black Sea near Sochi by 2014. According to the plans, the 250-hectare island, whose building costs are estimated at over $6 billion, will have two marinas, religious centers, roads, parks and artificial rivers, mimicking Russia's major rivers. RIA Novosti reports that Japanese companies will be involved in the construction of artificial island, the venue for the 2014 Winter Olympics, the head of the Russian-Japanese business council said on January 14, 2008. The island is expected to be located 13 kilometers from the airport and 14 kilometers from the railroad terminal in the city. Construction began in 2008 and it is expected to be finished by 2013.

We understand that municipal governments are set to conduct an overhaul of existing water supply networks and build new water treatment works. To that end, the federal plan provides for an allocation of approximately $380 million.  Modernization of transport infrastructure will help improve the ecological situation as measures are taken to alleviate congestion and reduce air pollution in the city center. The redevelopment of the seaport is included in the government’s coast area development plan. The general plan calls for the redevelopment of seaport into a passenger port, with the cargo port being moved beyond the central district of the city.

The Olympic Village will be located in Imeretinskaya Valley and financed by a Russian company Basic Element. The valley measures 600 hectares (about 1482.6 acres), of which 150 (371 acres) to 180 (445 acres) hectares will be used for creation of Olympic venues. The alpine ski complex on the Roza Khutor plateau is expected to be funded by the Russian company Interros. Sochi has approved the plan to build an aquarium in the city. The investor is a Saudi company Atex International. That will be a world-class oceanarium featuring an enormous sea water pool, several stories high, with each story providing a habitat for certain fish species. The aquarium will house sharks, rays, coral fish, etc. Presently there is no other such oceanarium in Russia. It will require 3 million cubic meters of water and a site of 0.6 hectares (1.48 acre). This project is estimated to cost more than $10 million. Sochi officials would like to have developed a mixed-use sport and leisure complex between Krasnaya Polyana and the city.

According to Russian Olympic Committee President Leonid Tyagachev, Sochi will generate between $16 billion and $23 billion in profits, while Vyacheslav Fetisov, head of the Federal Sports Agency, adds that after the 2014 Games the sport facilities will be used 100 percent. "Over 5,000 sport events are held in Russia every year," says Fetisov. They will also attract tourists from neighboring countries, where sport infrastructure has deteriorated during the post-Soviet years.

Our Kurortny project consists of the construction of 117 luxury apartments, several retail stores, a medical spa, office space and a 30 car garage. This project will be marketed primarily to affluent citizens of Russia, Europe, the United States and Asia.  
 
Through our subsidiary Somo, we secured a lease on the Kurortny land that expires on March 1, 2011, that allowed us to commence permitting and construction.  The yearly rent is $525,000 and will be $132,000 for the three months of 2011.  The lease agreement is expected to be revised upon our completion of the construction phase of the project, which is required prior to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Our subsidiaries, Riokom and Icecom, each have similar investment agreements with Somo. According to these agreements each subsidiary receives a one-half undivided interest in the Kurortny property.  Riokom’s sublease on the property commenced on July 5, 2007 and ends on March 1, 2011.  Riokom has to invest the total sum of approximately $5,130,000, plus to pay 50% of the Sublease Fee for using this lot of the land to Somo. Total amount of the Sublease Fee is $484,000; Riokom has to pay US$242,000 for the entire term of the lease. Icecom’s sublease on the property commenced on July 5, 2007 and ends on March 1, 2011.  Icecom has to invest the total sum of approximately $5,130,000, plus to pay 50% of the Sublease Fee for using this lot of the land to Somo. Total amount of the Sublease Fee is $484,000; Icecom has to pay $242,000 for the entire term of the lease.

The total estimated cost for the Kurortny development is $30 million, of which we have paid approximately $14,820,000 to date. We currently estimate that the cost to complete the Kurortny project is $15.2 million, and we will require additional capital in order to pay those costs and complete the project. Kurortny is not subject to any mortgage or other project level encumbrances for financing.

We have completed the first stage of the development of Kurortny and secured all necessary entitlements, permits and licenses to begin construction of the improvements on the land.

We have not realized any revenue to date from Kurortny and do not expect to realize revenue until we sell or lease the completed apartment complex office complex or other improvements which are being constructed on the property.

Orbita

Through our subsidiary Riokom, we are developing a five-story luxury residential apartment building called Orbita in the city of Gagarin.  The city of Gagarin is located 170 kilometers from the city of Moscow in the Smolenskii Region, which historically has served as the connecting city for the transport of goods to Moscow.  The city draws tourism as a result of being the birthplace of the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first person to orbit the Earth.  During a visit to the city by Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin in 2008, they announced that the city will host a celebration of the 50 year anniversary of the flight of Mr. Gagarin on April 22, 2011. The Russian government has extended invitations to several countries involved in space-programs including the United States.  The publicity generated by the 50 year anniversary celebration has created demand for accommodations, which has caused an upward pressure on land and housing prices. The Orbita project will be developed as a gated apartment complex consisting of a five story luxury class residential apartment building.  

The size of the property is 8,000 square meters. The project is expected to take approximately two and a half years to complete and cost approximately $16,000,000, of which we have paid $7 million to date. We currently estimate that the cost to complete the Orbita project is $9 million, and we will require additional capital in order to pay those costs and complete the project. Orbita is not subject to any mortgage or other project level encumbrances for financing.

Riokom has leased the land for a term that continues through June 19, 2011 with an annual rent of $16,000 that is payable quarterly. Presently the architect is making the final changes in the project, after which Riokom will have to undergo a final inspection with the Government Project Expertise in August-September 2010 in order to receive the final construction permit from the government. The Company through its subsidiaries will contract with construction companies and architects to build the Orbita apartments.  Assuming that the Company receives the necessary permits, it will begin construction of the project in September 2010.
 
The current status of the Orbita project is as follows:

·  
We have developed and approved the Land Urban Development plan and projects of the internal engineering networks of the residential apartment building.
·  
We have received Technical specifications for connecting the residential apartment building to the external engineering networks and communications, such as: gas, water, sewer, electricity, and telecommunications.
·  
Completed projects of feeding engineering networks and communications to the construction zone, transfer project of main plumbing network from the construction zone.
·  
We have completed geological engineering and geodetic / topographic surveys of the construction zone; and received the opinion.
·  
We have completed the detailed assessment of environmental impact and deigned the environmental protection program during the construction.
·  
We have completed radiation and bacteriological surveys of the soil within the construction zone and received approval opinion from the agency in charge of sanitary and epidemiological control.
·  
We have completed the following preparatory works: (i) planning of the construction zone, (ii) building the all-around fence, (iii) “zero cycle” preparatory ground works.
·  
We have completed the installation of the temporary electric-supply network of the construction zone.

We have not realized any revenue from Orbita and do not expect to realize revenue from Orbita until the sale or lease of the completed residential apartments or the entire complex.

We lease the locations underlying our development projects.  The expiration dates of these leases do not allow sufficient time for us to complete the projects and sell or lease them.  There is no assurance that the expiration dates will be extended for periods that are sufficient to allow us to complete the projects, on terms that are acceptable.  If we are unable to obtain extensions of the leases for period that are sufficient to allow us to complete the projects.

Our current leases contain provisions for the termination of the lease if we do not meet certain construction milestones.  We have failed to meet certain development milestones. As a result, we cannot assure you that the landlords will not exercise their rights to terminate our leases after their expirations: for Kurortny after March 11, 2011 and for Orbita after June 19, 2011. Further delays in construction also may jeopardize our rights under the leases.  While the architectural-engineering plans for the Kurortny project have received governmental review and approval, the plans for Orbita are undergoing review, but have not yet received approval. There is no assurance that the plans will receive the required approvals in time to complete construction in compliance with the requirements of the lease for the project or ever.

In addition, our leases will expire within the next two years and do not contain options to renew. Although we believe that we will be able to renew our leases on similar terms there is no guarantee that we will renew the leases on favorable terms or at all.  We may not be able to renew leases on favorable economic terms or maintain our existing locations thereby requiring additional capital expenditure to obtain new construction permits and new leases to complete our construction plans.  If we do not renew our leases on favorable terms or at all our growth and profitability could be harmed and we could lose all amounts we invested in these projects prior to the expiration of the leases.

Our Competition

Presently our direct competitors are small private developers and real estate investment funds with market capitalizations of up to $200 million.Our competitors include: in the residential sector: Gras Financial Corporation, Dial Stroy Invest; and in the office space sector: М-Industria and Development Sochi. Other competitors that invest in the Sochi real estate market, include: Interros group, Gazprom, Inteco, Basic Element, Radisson hotel and Grand hotel. However, the projects they have been pursuing are much larger and do not appear to compete directly with our projects.

Seasonality of Our Business

Although the construction phase of the projects could be adversely affected by weather conditions such as a particularly cold winter and late spring, we do not believe that our sales or leasing activities are seasonal.  In particular, we expect that, upon completion of our real estate projects, we will sell our interests in the projects or lease the projects to an end user, in either case retaining no operating interest in the projects.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

We believe we have access to all of the raw materials required for completion of the Kurortny and Orbita projects directly or through its construction partner(s). Recently, the costs of raw materials and other building and construction materials and supplies have decreased by over 30% due to the economic crisis in Russia. However, the prices of raw materials have been volatile due to inconsistent demand.

Marketing Channels We Intend to Use

The Company expects to utilize various marketing channels in the Russian Federation and Ukraine to sell and market its real estate, such as (1) real estate agents throughout Russia and Ukraine; (2) real estate and lifestyle media outlets, and (3) outdoor billboards in Sochi. We will market our properties in the United States through our website. We have signed an agreement with one of today’s leading Russian male pop stars, Philip Kirkorov, who has agreed to become the face of Kurortny in all advertising, media and PR campaigns in exchange for having one of the penthouses in the building. For many Russians the fact that Philip Kirkorov may become their neighbor will be an important factor for purchase the apartment in Kurortny as compared to other business-class mixed use residential projects offered by our competitors.

Dependence on Permits or Licenses or Financial Contracts that are Material to Our Business or Profitability

We are highly dependent on government leases, licenses and permits required to develop land in Russia. Currently we have the necessary leases, licenses and permits required to build Kurortny and applied for the construction permit for Orbita. We expect to receive governmental approvals for construction by the end of April 2010 and obtain our construction permit before the end of May 2010. Since we do not expect to lease any single project or significant portion of any project to a single tenant, we do not anticipate any credit concentration risk to our business.

Material Effects of Government Regulations  

Russia is still developing the legal framework required to support a market economy, and its legal system is largely characterized by:
 
• inconsistencies between and among laws, presidential decrees and governmental, ministerial and local regulations, orders, decisions, resolutions and other acts;
• substantial gaps in the regulatory structure resulting from the delay in adoption or absence of implementing regulations;
• limited judicial and administrative guidance on interpreting Russian legislation;
• the relative inexperience of judges and courts in interpreting recent commercial legislation;
• a lack of judicial independence from political, social and commercial forces;
• under-funding and under-staffing of the court system;
• a high degree of discretion on the part of the judiciary and governmental authorities; and
• poorly developed bankruptcy procedures that are subject to abuse.
 
As is true of civil law systems, judicial precedents generally have no binding effect on subsequent decisions. Not all Russian legislation and court decisions are readily available to the public or organized in a manner that facilitates understanding. The Russian judicial system can be slow, and enforcement of court orders can in practice be very difficult. All of these factors make judicial decisions in Russia difficult to predict and effective redress uncertain. Additionally, court claims and governmental prosecutions are sometimes used in furtherance of political aims.
 
In addition, several key Russian laws have only recently become effective. The untested nature of much of recent Russian legislation, the lack of consensus about the scope, content and pace of economic and political reform and the rapid evolution of the Russian legal system in ways that may not always coincide with market developments may place the enforceability and underlying constitutionality of laws in doubt and result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies in the Russian legal system. Any of these weaknesses could affect our ability to enforce our rights under our licenses and under our contracts, or to defend ourselves against claims by others. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that regulators, judicial authorities or third parties will not challenge our compliance with applicable laws, decrees and regulations.
 
These uncertainties also extend to property rights. Legislation has been enacted to protect private property against expropriation and nationalization. However, due to the lack of experience in enforcing these provisions and, political factors, these protections may not be enforced in the event of an attempted expropriation or nationalization. Expropriation or nationalization of any of our entities or their assets, without full compensation for the entire value of the assets taken, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

There are two major regulations that regulate land law and construction/development in Russia:
 
1.  
Land Law of Russian Federation (http://www.consultant.ru/popular/earth), and
2.  
Urban Planning Code of Russian Federation (http://www.consultant.ru/popular/gskrf).

The Ministry of Nature and Resources of Russian Federation, together with local municipalities, oversees implementation both of these regulations and compliance with these regulations by developers.

The following regulatory agencies promulgated under the Land Law of Russian Federation and the Urban Planning Code of Russian Federation to administer and/or enforce such regulations in regions and local municipalities:
 
1)  
Russian Federation State Committee for Construction and Housing (Russian abbreviation - GOSSTROY Russia) and its local agencies in each region;
2)  
Federal Land Cadastre Service of Russia (Russian abbreviation – Roszemkadastr);
3)  
Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation;
4)  
Russian Federation State Committee for Construction, Housing and Municipal Economy and its local agencies in each region;
 
If a lease for the development of property has been executed without complying with required laws and regulations, the developer may lose the lease. We believe that we have obtained all required approvals for the Orbita lease and, as to the Sochi lease, purchased an approved lease from another company and registered the acquisition with the State Registration Chamber, Ministry of Justice of Russian Federation.

If delays prevent construction from being completed within the current lease terms, we may lose our construction permits.

If our architectural-engineering plans are not approved by the authorized federal and/or municipal governing body we will not be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we may lose development rights or will occur additional costs to re-do the plans. With regard to Sochi, we have passed the Russian Federal non-departmental expertise, which regulates urban development activities, including the system of government non-departmental examination of urban planning and design documentation, aimed to preventing construction of objects on the territory of the Russian Federation that do not meet the requirements of the current level and structurally unsafe / operationally unsafe. Presently, we are going through this expertise in Orbita. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete the process and receive all necessary approvals in time to commence and complete the project within the current lease term.
 
C.           Organizational Structure
 
We hold 99% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of Jirmalia Holdings, Ltd., or Jirmalia, which is the sole shareholder of each of Icecom, LLC and Riokom, LLC.  Icecom, LLC is the holder of one third (1/3) of the shares outstanding of Somo, LLC and two-thirds (2/3) are owned by Riokom.  The diagram below illustrates our operating subsidiaries and omits subsidiaries or affiliates that are not operational or are winding up their operations
 
Item 3 Table
 
D.           Property, Plant and Equipment

Through our operating subsidiaries, we are in the process of developing two real properties, none of which to date have been completed.

The first project is known as Kurortnyi, in the City of Sochi, Russia. Our subsidiaries, Riokom and Icecom own Somo, which leases the land for the Kurortnyi project from administration of Sochi. This project is planned as a mixed use, business-class residential project that will include 117 apartments, including 13 penthouses.  It is expected that ninety percent of all apartments will have a sea view. The total size of the project is planned to be 15,791 sq. meters and also is planned to include: a medical center, underground parking for 90 cars, a fitness center with an indoor pool, a restaurant, a beauty spa and a mini-market.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $30 million, of which $14,820,000 has been spent to date. The estimated completion of construction is expected for the fourth quarter of 2011, at which time we expect the project to be sold.  However, we plan to operate the medical center for 10 years after the completion of construction.

The other project, is known as Orbita, in the City of Gagarin, Russia. Our subsidiary Riokom leases the land for the Orbita project from Administration of Gagarin. This project is planned as a mixed use, business-class residential project what will include seven floors. The total size of the project is planned to be 13,775 sq. meters.

               There are no material mortgages, or other liens, or encumbrances against any of our properties.

Item 4A.         UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

On December 29, 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form 20-F (File No. 000-53540) and on January 29, 2009, we filed a request for withdrawal of that registration statement.

On February 2, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form 20-F, and on February 6, 2009, filed an amendment to that registration statement on Form 20-F/A.

On March 10, 2009, we received the comments (the “Comment Letter”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to the registration statement on Form 20-F/A and, on April 3, 2009, we filed a request for withdrawal of that registration statement without having filed a response to the SEC’s Comment Letter.

On March 31, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form 20-F, which was a substantially re-written document from the previously filed registration statement on Form 20-F/A, which was filed more than one year earlier. It included updated information and, although it did not amend any prior filing, it was intended to be responsive to the SEC’s comments set forth in the Comment Letter. On April 30, 2010, we received comments from the SEC on the registration statement. On August 25, 2010, we filed amendment to the registration statement intended to be responsive to those comments.
 
Item 5.            OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

OVERVIEW
 
Activities Since Inception
 
Current Activities

The Company is currently developing two properties and has identified several other properties that it may determine to develop depending on available funding.  The Company is currently negotiating permits and licenses with the government and private entities to develop additional properties but does not have any definitive agreements.  The Company is also reviewing potential projects that range from already completed cash-flowing properties to projects that are on the market with all of the necessary permits and construction approvals.   No assurances can be given that the Company will successfully complete the development of two existing projects or any other projects.
 
Dr. Plavnik, the CEO of the Company has spent the last five years of his eight-year real estate investment and developmental career developing properties in Sochi. Together with private partners he has developed residential properties worth $24 million and has developed relationships within the Sochi’s government officials thus giving him access to attractive real estate projects in the region.  In addition, Dr. Plavnik and his staff have developed strategic relations with architects, contractors and management companies in the Sochi region.

Trends

The overall economic downturn in Russia has resulted in a decline in the cost of building materials and labor costs which, in turn, has resulted in a reduction of expected construction costs for our projects by approximately 30%. We would have expected that such lower construction costs would increase the overall profitability of our development projects. However, the economic crisis also has resulted in lower demand for residential (and to a lesser extent for commercial) real estate across the Russian Federation.  It appears for now that real estate prices in Sochi have been less affected by the economic crisis in the Russian Federation, due to interest in development related to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. It is likely, however, that if economic conditions in the Russian Federation fail to improve or continue to deteriorate, real estate prices in Sochi may also decline.

Orbita

The Orbita project is in the city of Gagarin, which is located only 170 kilometers from Moscow in the Smolensii Region, on the boarder of Moscow and the Smolensii Regions. The city was named after the first cosmonaut of the planet Yuri Gagarin who was born there.

According to the Ministry of Economic Development of Russian Federation, the Smolenskii region was named the second fastest growing regional satellite economy of Metro-Moscow, where demand for affordable and business-class residential real estate exceeds supply by 500%.
 
 
29

 
 
On April 12, 2011, the Russian Government will celebrate the 50th anniversary Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s 108-minute orbit around earth on April 12, 1961. Vladimir Putin, the Russian Prime Minister, has officially invited NASA and other international space agencies to celebrate this event.
 
In order to complete Orbita, we will need additional capital. Despite the fact that the overall condition of Russian banks has improved, the liquidity of Russian banks is still low and, today, the majority of Russian banks are still risk-averse and not ready yet to finance most real estate projects. In some cases, the banks will require the developer to match bank funds 50/50, which we are not able to do. Capital markets in Russia have suffered even more than the Russian banking system, because they were not as well established.  These economic conditions are making it difficult for us to obtain capital in Russia. Accordingly, we are heavily dependent on raising capital in the United States capital markets.
 
Delays in obtaining required capital and/or shortfalls in the amount of capital obtained by us may delay completion of construction and result in a loss of our government approvals and constructions permits and/or delay realization of the projects. This, in turn would have material adverse affects on our revenue, profitability and financial condition. Construction and completion delays also may adversely affect our competitive position in the market place, because new additional competitors may successfully enter residential real estate marketplace in Gagarin with additional supply, which may decrease the demand for our projects. This also would have a material adverse affect on our revenues, profitability and financial condition.

Total revenues for year ended December 31, 2009 was $0, compared to $345,000 for the prior year,   Prior to December 31, 2008 we received non-refundable/non-redeemable entrance fees from investors (one-time fees paid by investors based on the amount of their investment, as a fee to process the investor’s investment contract and other related paperwork in an amount equal to (avg.) 7% of the total investment). In the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company recorded entrance fees of $338,000 respectively.  In the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company did not generate any income from investment activities and did not record As a result our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was zero.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $572,000, compared to $1,326,000 for the prior year, representing a decrease in operating expenses of approximately 57%, which we attribute to reduced operating expenses in all relevant categories, including marketing, legal and accounting expenses.

Change in Total Assets:

Total Assets have increased from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 due to the following factors:

Total Non-current assets increased from $29,632,000 to $36,057,000 between December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 due to the overall increase in each category of the “Non-current assets” and primarily due to an increase in Trading Property category.

Long-term trading property consisting of purchase and construction costs of properties for the purpose of the future sale is recorded at actual incurred expenditure costs, increased from $15,504,000 at December 31, 2008 to $22,613,000 at December 31, 2009 .

Change in Total Liabilities

Increase in Total (current and long-term liabilities) by 32% from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 primarily happened due to the increase in all categories of “Other payables” (please refer to Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008).

Change in Income

Our financial services operations generated income from investment related activities. Prior to December 31, 2008 we received non-refundable/non-redeemable entrance fees from investors (one-time fees paid by investors based on the amount of their investment, as a fee to process the investor’s investment contract and other related paperwork in an amount equal to (avg.) 7% of the total investment). In the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company recorded entrance fees of $338,000 respectively.  In the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company did not generate any income from investment activities and did not record any entrance fees. As a result our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was zero.
 
Total decrease in operating expenses from the year ended December 31, 2008 to the year ended December 31, 2009 by 232% primarily happened because we have reduced our operating expenses in all relevant categories. For example, the company has decreased its marketing activities in Russia and the US, as well as decreased expenses for consultants, auditors and attorneys that were engaged by the company in the year ended December 31, 2008 to assist us in our reorganization in the fourth quarter of 2008, from a fund and into Konsta Real Estate Properties, Ltd., and in connection with our efforts to become a reporting company under US securities laws.

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $971,000, compared to operating income of $501,000 for the year, representing a decrease in income of approximately 293.8%.

Change in Total Assets:

Total Assets have increased from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 due to the following factors:

Overall Non-current assets increased from $18,715,000 to $28,684,000 between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 due to the overall increase in each category of the “Non-current assets” and primarily due to an increase in Intangible Assets from $9,390,000 to $13,851,000 and Long-term inventory from $8,880,000 to $14,568,000.

Intangible assets are presented in fair value accounting. Intangible assets account for our rights to the land to be developed, construction permits and technical approvals of regulatory authorities. The intangible assets that have increased are not depreciated. Intangible assets increased from $9,390,000 at December 31, 2007 to $13,851,000 at December 31, 2008 due to the expansion of the rights to the land awarded to us. Upon obtaining the licenses and permits required to begin the construction of the projects the value of the projects increased and thus made the entire project more valuable in its pre-construction phase.  

The fair value of our right to build on the Kurortny land in Sochi has increased by $2,272,000 between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 resulting from the capital improvements we made on the land. This is because the capital improvements we have made increase the potential value from the ultimate sale of our interest upon completion of the project, while decreasing the remaining amount of capital required to complete the projects.
 
The fair value of our right to develop the Orbita project in the city of Gagarin increased from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 by $981,000. The city of Gagarin is located only 170 kilometers from Moscow, in the Smolenskii Region, on the border of Moscow & Smolenskii Regions.  In 2008 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited the city of Gagarin. During their joint press-conference Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin made the announcement that on April 22, 2011 there will be a massive celebration of 50-years anniversary of the orbit of Earth by Yuri Gagarin. The Russian government has invited officials, scientists and astronauts from countries leading in space-programs, including the United States, to this celebration. The expectation of increased tourism and spending for the period surrounding the celebration has increased interest in retail and residential properties in the city.
 
Long-term trading property consisting of purchase and construction costs of properties for the purpose of the future sale is recorded at actual incurred expenditure costs, increased from $8,880,000 at December 31, 2007 to $14,568,000 at December 31, 2008 consisted of $5,688,000 that was invested in the construction projects by the Company during that period.

Change in Total Liabilities

Prior to and at December 31, 2008, our shareholders had the right to demand redemption of the shares in the amount equal to our Net Assets on the date of the redemption. Thus, such amount had been reported as a liability on our balance sheet. This amount increased by $16,832,000 primarily due to the sale of $9,467,968 of shares during that period. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we were reorganized into Konsta Real Estate Properties, Ltd such that the shareholders no longer had rights to redeem their shares. Accordingly, our shares are reported as equity.

Change in Income

Our financial services operations generated income from investment related activities. Specifically, we received non-refundable/non-redeemable entrance fees from investors (one-time fees paid by investors based on the amount of their investment, as a fee to process the investor’s investment contract and other related paperwork in an amount equal to 7% of the total investment). In the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, the Company recorded entrance fees of $881,000 and $338,000 respectively.  A portion of the entrance fees were invested in our construction projects and initially recorded as long-term inventory. Other operating income was $7,000 and $NIL respectively for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, consisting of entrance fee and other operating income.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $1,326,000 compared with $414,000 for the year 2007.  Expansion of our operations in 2008 were mainly attributed to the beginning of construction projects in both Sochi (“Kurortny”) and Gagarin (“Orbita”), which required us to hire more staff and to lease a larger office space in order to accommodate all new and existing employees.  Our operating expenses increased following the commencement of our marketing activities in the US and as a result of increased expenses for consultants, auditors and attorneys engaged to assist us in our reorganization in the fourth quarter of 2008, from a fund and into Konsta Real Estate Properties, Ltd., and in connection with our efforts to become a reporting company under US securities laws.

B.           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company estimates that the total amount of the capital funds required for the completion of two Existing Projects is estimated at $50 million, of which, $22.6 million has been spent to date, as follows:
 
   
31 Dec 2007
 
31 Dec 2008
   
31 Dec 2009
 
Kurortny
    6 212     11 094       14 820  
Orbita
    2 668     4 410       7 793  
                       
Total
    8 880     15 504       22 613  
  
We estimate that the remaining cost to complete the Kurortny and Orbita projects, or the Existing Projects, is approximately $27,200,000, consisting of the following:

Kurortny development costs - $15,000,000;
Orbita development costs - $10,200,000; and
related operating expenses - $2,000,000.

Our rights under the respective leases for the Kurortny and Orbita projects expire on March 1, 2011, and June 19, 2011, unless the leases are extended. Accordingly, unless the leases are extended, we will need to raise the amounts set forth above by such dates in order to complete the projects. Our current borrowing capacity and financing reasonably available to us, cash on hand and anticipated net cash flows from operations are not sufficient to meet our current and reasonably anticipated liquidity needs. We expect to fund development costs and operating expenses through the sale of equity, equity-linked or debt securities to investors. Selling additional equity securities would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail or cease business operations.

 Our credit line to our subsidiary Jirmalia is a means of transferring money between us and our subsidiaries. We have historically obtained, and expect to continue to obtain, our requisite additional financing primarily by way of sales of our equity. We will also consider debt financing which may involve covenants that restrict our operations or give a security interest in our assets.  However, if we are not able to secure required capital funds before September 1, 2010, the Company will have to pre-sell apartments in Orbita and Kurortny prior to the completion of construction of the two complexes. Any such early sales of the apartments would be at prices significantly lower than the market price of the apartments at their completion.  There is no assurance, however, that even if we executes our pre-selling strategy that there will be sufficient capital to meet our future capital needs for the development of Kurortny and Orbita and operating expenses in the future, in which event we may have to reduce our operations.
 
The amount and types of indebtedness that we may incur may be limited by the terms of the equity investments or other agreements governing our obligations to our existing and future investors. Our investment strategy from our inception was based on raising money from investors and using these capital funds for the development of real estate projects in Sochi and Gagarin. For that reason, we have never applied for any construction or other bank loans, project financing, line of credit or any other debt facilities. Presently, due to the increased liquidity crisis in Russia, debt financing may not be available to us.

As of the date of this filing, we do not have any other real estate assets or any other projects or acquisitions in progress or development. Accordingly, our capital requirements with respect to Kurortny and Orbita, as discussed above, represents our long-term liquidity needs.
 
Our subsidiaries are not restricted from transferring funds to us in the form of dividends, loans or advances.  Pursuant to a treaty between RF and the Republic of Cyprus, our subsidiaries may take advantage of favorable tax treatment by transferring dividends up from Riokom and Icecom to Jirmalia thus avoiding double taxation on dividends transferred to entities established in Cyprus.  Additionally, pursuant to Article Sixth of the RF Federal law, currency control and regulations between residents and non-residents of RF are not restricted with the exception of those transactions that have the effect of creating a large reduction on Russia’s gold reserves.  Our operations do not contemplate the transfer of funds in such a way that would reduce the gold reserves.

We have provided an unsecured and unguaranteed credit facility to our 99% owned subsidiary, Jirmalia for up to $10,000,000 for three years with a variable interest rate.  As of December 31, 2009, Jirmalia had drawn down $2,416,000 of the credit facility. In turn, Jirmalia provides a credit facility to each of its wholly owned subsidiaries: Icecom and Riokom.  As of December 31, 2009, Riokom had drawn down $1,520,000 of the permitted $10,000,000 at a rate of 15% per annum for a three year period.  As of December 31, 2009, Icecom had drawn down $896,000 of the permitted $10,000,000 at a rate of 15% per annum for a three year period.  We consolidate our financials with our subsidiaries and, as such, the indebtedness is not reflected in our Financial Statements.  We had no other indebtedness as at June 30, 2009. We do not have any legal restrictions on the repayment to us of the various credit facilities by our subsidiaries.

We issued a short term interest-free note to our founder and director, Mr. Nazar Lappa dated December 5, 2007 and due January 20, 2008, for $3,770,000 USD.  The note was repaid on maturity.  On September 9, 2008, the Company issued a short term interest-free note to Mr. Lappa in the amount of $3,120,000, due on October 15, 2008 and this note was repaid on maturity.

C.             Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc.
 
We do not have any research and development costs and have not conducted any research and development activities since our inception.  We are highly dependent on government licenses and permits required to develop land in Russia.  Currently we have the necessary licenses and permits required to develop Kurortny and Orbita.  

D.           Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own Ordinary Shares save that the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own Ordinary Shares without the consent of the shareholder whose Ordinary Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless the Company is permitted by the Act or any other provision in the Memorandum or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Ordinary Shares without such consent.  The purchase redemption or other acquisition by the Company of its own Ordinary Shares is deemed not to be a distribution where the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires the Ordinary Shares by virtue of the provisions of section 179 of the Act.

Ordinary Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires pursuant to the provisions described above may be cancelled or held as Treasury Shares except to the extent that such Ordinary Shares are in excess of 50 percent of the issued Ordinary Shares in which case they shall be cancelled but they shall be available for reissue.  All rights and obligations attaching to a Treasury Share are suspended and shall not be exercised by the Company while it holds the Ordinary Share as a Treasury Share.  Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions (not otherwise inconsistent with the Memorandum and Articles) as the Company may by resolution of Directors determine.  Where Ordinary Shares are held by another body corporate of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than fifty per cent of the votes in the election of directors of the other body corporate, all rights and obligations attaching to the Ordinary Shares held by the other body corporate are suspended and shall not be exercised by the other body corporate.
 
 
43

 
 
The directors of the Company may, by resolution of directors, authorize a distribution at a time and of an amount they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the distribution, the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.  Dividends may be paid in money, shares, or other property.  The Company may, by resolution of directors, from time to time pay to the shareholders such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be justified by the profits of the Company, provided always that they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the distribution, the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.  Notice in writing of any dividend that may have been declared shall be given to each shareholder in accordance with Regulation 20 and all dividends unclaimed for three years after such notice has been given to a shareholder may be forfeited by resolution of directors for the benefit of the Company.  No dividend shall bear interest as against the Company.
 
(4)            Actions necessary to change the rights of holders of the Registrant’s common stock:

The rights attached to Shares may only, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of more than 50 per cent of the issued Shares of that class.

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

The Company may also change the rights of shareholders by amending the Memorandum or Articles of Association by a resolution of shareholders or by a resolution of directors.  However, the board of directors may not in its sole capacity amend the Memorandum or Articles of Association by a resolution to either: (i) to restrict the rights or powers of the Members to amend the Memorandum or Articles; (ii) to change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the Memorandum or Articles; or (iii) in circumstances where the Memorandum or Articles cannot be amended by the Members.

(5)
Conditions governing manner in which annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders are convoked, including conditions of admission:

Any director of the Company may convene meetings of the shareholders at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the director considers necessary or desirable.  Upon the written request of the shareholders entitled to exercise 30 per cent or more of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested the directors shall convene a meeting of shareholders.  The director convening a meeting shall give not less than seven days’ written notice of a meeting of shareholder whose names on the date the notice is given appear as Members in the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting; and to all the other directors.  The director convening a meeting of shareholders may fix as the record date for determining those shareholders that are entitled to vote at the meeting the date notice is given of the meeting, or such other date as may be specified in the notice, being a date not earlier than the date of the notice.  A meeting of shareholders held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if shareholders holding at least 90 per cent of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a shareholder at the meeting shall constitute waiver in relation to all the Shares which that shareholder holds.  The inadvertent failure of a director who convenes a meeting to give notice of a meeting to a shareholder or another director, or the fact that a shareholder or another director has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

A shareholder may be represented at a meeting of shareholders by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the shareholder.  The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place designated for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote.  The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in substantially the following form or such other form as the chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the shareholder appointing the proxy.

In the event that Shares are jointly owned by two or more persons, each person may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders and may speak as a shareholder.  If only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners.   If two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one and in the event of disagreement between any of the joint owners of Shares then the vote of the joint owner whose name appears first (or earliest) in the share register in respect of the relevant Shares shall be recorded as the vote attributable to the Shares.

A shareholder shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of shareholders if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all shareholders participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.  A meeting of shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on resolutions of shareholders to be considered at the meeting.  If the Company has two or more classes of shares, a meeting may be considered quorate for some purposes and not for others.  A quorum may comprise a single shareholder or proxy and then such person may pass a resolution of shareholders and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid resolution of shareholders.
 
 
44

 
 
If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved.

Any shareholder other than an individual may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorize such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of shareholders or of any class of shares, and the individual so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the shareholder which he represents as that Shareholder could exercise if it were an individual.

An action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice.  If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution.  The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members.  If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

Item 11.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

All of our development operations are, and will continue to be, in Russia and in Russian Rubles; therefore we will be affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into Russian Rubles for our operations, appreciation of Russian Rubles against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Conversely, if we decide to convert our Russian Rubles into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making a dividend payment on our Ordinary Shares, interest payments or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Russian Ruble the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Russian Rubles we convert would be reduced. To date, however, we have not engaged in transactions of either type.

For the last six years the Russian Ruble has risen 30% against the US Dollar. To protect our business, we may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts with major financial institutions to hedge overseas transactions and limit our exposure to those currency fluctuations. If we are not able to successfully protect ourselves against those currency rate fluctuations, then our profits will also fluctuate which could cause us to record less profits or incur losses.

In furtherance of our reorganization, on January 9, 2009, the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission cancelled our certificate of recognition as a professional fund under the Mutual Funds Act, 1996.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Konsta Real Estate Properties Ltd:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Konsta Real Estate Properties Ltd ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Notes to the financial statements
 
1.         General information
 
Konsta Real Estate Properties Ltd. (the ‘Company’) is a British Virgin Islands limited company that was formed in 2005. The Company began its operations on January 1, 2007. The Company’s principal business is to acquire, develop and invest in real estate. The Company’s acquisition and development strategy has focused, and will to focus, primarily in the Sochi, Russia real estate market, and secondarily on Moscow and St. Petersburg, in Russia, and then on other major cities in the Russian Federation, or the RF.
 
The Company’s real estate development activities seek to maximize returns for investors by developing residential, business and commercial properties. By completing the value-added activities of development permitting and construction of the improvements on a property, rather than acquiring properties that already have development permits or completed improvements, the Company creates and retains that value for its investors, which contributes to the overall return to be realized upon their investment.
 
The Company’s development cycle is segmented into three stages. The first stage is a period of approximately nine months, during which time the Company acquires a property, obtains construction permits, fulfills technical building conditions and secures licenses and permits required to develop the real estate. During the second stage, which can span a year or more, the Company completes commence and completes construction of the improvements on the property and acquires operational permits. During the third stage, which commences upon substantial completion of construction, the Company registers its rights with respect to the property and commences leasing or sales activities. In some cases, a property may be sold prior to the completion of construction.
 
Currently, the Company has permits to develop two properties: Kurortny and Orbita. These two properties total approximately 25,800 square meters.
 
Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company is in the process of developing two real properties, neither of which has been completed to date.
 
The first project is known as Kurortny, in the City of Sochi, Russia. This project is planned as a mixed use, business-class residential project that will include 117 apartments, including 13 penthouses. It is expected that ninety percent of all apartments will have a sea view. The total size of the project is planned to be 15,791 sq. meters and also is planned to include: a medical center, underground parking for 90 cars, a fitness center with an indoor pool, a restaurant, a beauty spa and a mini-market.
 
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $30 million, of which $14,820 million has been spent to date. The estimated completion of construction is expected for the fourth quarter of 2011, at which time we expect the project to be sold. In addition, the Company plans to operate the medical center for 10 years after the completion of construction.The current completion of Kurortny project is 46,3%of the budget cost.
 
The other project is known as Orbita, in the City of Gagarin, Russia. This project is planned as a mixed use, business-class residential project what will include seven floors. The total size of the project is planned to be 13,775 sq. meters.
 
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $16 million, of which $7.793 million has been spent to date. The estimated completion of construction is expected for the fourth quarter of 2012.The current completion of Orbita project is 43,3%of the budget cost.

Notes to the financial statements
 
2.         Basic of preparation
 
(a)       Statement of compliance
 
These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the historical cost method, except for the following items: investment property, land and premises and financial assets available for sale measured at fair value.
 
Consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, with all amounts rounded up to thousands except for cases otherwise specified.
 
(b)       Going concern basis
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis providing for the disposal of assets and discharge of liabilities in the course of common business activity. The financial statements do not incorporate any adjustments which would be required if the Company could not further continue carrying out its financial and business activity in accordance with the going concern basis.
 
(c)       Declaration of Conformity
 
Consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in conformity with the revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
 
(d)       Consolidation basis
 
Consolidation basis applied since 1 January 2009
Consolidated financial statements include financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2009.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated by the Company since the date of acquisition, i.e. the date of receiving control over a subsidiary, and continue to be consolidated until the date of losing such control. Financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the parent statements on the basis of consistent application of the accounting policy for all companies of the Company. All intercompany balances, income and expense, unrealized income and expense, as well as dividends arising as a result of intercompany transactions are fully excluded.
 
Change in the non-controlling interest without loss of control is recorded as capital transaction.

(All amounts in US dollar thousands unless otherwise stated)


Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
Losses are charged to the non-controlling interest even if this results in a negative balance.
 
If the Company looses control over a subsidiary, then it:
 
v  
Derecognizes assets and liabilities of the subsidiary (including the associated goodwill);
v  
Derecognizes the carrying amount of non-controlling interest;
v  
Derecognizes cumulative exchange differences reported in equity;
v  
Recognizes fair value of the consideration received;
v  
Recognizes fair value of the remaining investment;
v  
Recognizes the income or loss surplus or deficit occurred as a result of the transaction;
v  
Reclassifies to profit or loss the parent share in the components earlier recognized as other comprehensive income.
 
Consolidation basis applied before 1 January 2009 (applied in 2007 and 2008)
 
In contrast to the above principles applied prospectively, the following principles were used:
 
v  
Non-controlling interest formed a portion of income/loss and net assets not owned by the Company and was reported separately in the consolidated profit and loss statement and in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the parent’s equity. Acquisition of the non-controlling interest was accounted for under the parent continuation method of accounting where the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the acquired share of net assets was recognized as goodwill.
v  
Losses incurred by the Company were charged to the non-controlling interest until its book value was reduced to zero. Subsequent losses were charged to the parent company, except for cases when the non-controlling interest holders had a binding obligation to cover losses.
v  
At lost of control over a subsidiary the remaining investment was accounted for according to the proportional share in the net asset value as at the date of loss of control.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
IASB published the amendment to IFRS 2 that clarifies the scope of application and method of accounting of group cash-settled share-based payment transactions. The Company has applied this amendment since 1 January 2009, which did not have effect either on its financial position or operating results.
 
IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (as revised) and IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (as amended).
 
The Company has applied the revised IFRS 3 from 1 January 2009. The revised IFRS 3 introduces significant changes to the procedure for accounting of business combination transactions made after this date. These changes influence the measurement of minority interest, accounting of transaction expenses, initial recognition and further measurement of contingent consideration, as well as accounting of business combination achieved in stages. These changes will influence the amount of the recognized goodwill, operating results for the period when acquisition occurred, as well as operating results reported in financial statements for subsequent periods. According to the requirements of IAS 27 (as amended), the change in minority interest (without loss of control) should be recorded as capital transaction. Thus, such transactions will no longer determine either occurrence of goodwill or recognition of income or expense. Furthermore, the revised standard changes the method of accounting losses of subsidiaries, as well as accounting of a loss of control over a subsidiary. Changes in requirements to the IFRS accounting policy introduced by IFRS 3 (as revised) and IAS 27 (as amended) will influence future acquisitions and transactions resulting in a loss of control over subsidiaries, as well as minority interest transactions.
 
These changes in the accounting policy have been applied prospectively and did not have significant influence on earnings per share.
 
IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (as amended)
 
The amendment introduced into the standard requires additional disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. The disclosure about the fair value measurement of the items reported at the fair value must be done by data source, using a three-level hierarchy of fair value sources for each class of financial instruments recognized at the fair value. Apart from that, the revised standard requires reconciliation between the beginning and ending balance for fair value measurements at level 3, as well as disclosure about significant transfers between the levels of the hierarchy of fair value sources. The amendment also clarifies requirements with regard to disclosures about liquidity risk for transactions with derivative financial instruments and assets used for liquidity management. The amendment did not have material effect on the disclosure about liquidity risk provided in Note 3.5.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”
 
IFRS 8 effective from 1 January, 2009 replaced IAS 14 “Segment Reporting”. The Company came to a conclusion that the operating segments determined in accordance with IFRS 8 coincide with those determined earlier in the course of application of IAS 14.
 
IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (as revised)
 
The revised standard differentiates between the changes in equity due to transactions with owners and other changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity will contain only information about transactions with owners, while all other changes in equity will be reported in reconciliation for each component of equity. Furthermore, the standard introduces the requirement to present a statement of comprehensive income including all items of recognized income and expense, which may be presented either in a single statement or in two related statements. The Company has elected to present the required information using a two-statement approach.
 
IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs” (as revised)
 
The revised IAS 23 requires capitalizing borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. The accounting policy earlier applied by the Company required recognizing the borrowing costs in expense as incurred. In accordance with the transitional provisions of the revised IAS 23, the Company has applied this standard prospectively. Thus, only those borrowing costs are capitalized that are attributable to assets qualifying as of or after 1 January 2009.
 
Amendment to IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IAS1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”: “Puttable Instruments and Obligations Arising at Liquidation”
 
The amendments introduced to the standards permit constrained exception from the scope of application, according to which some puttable financial instruments may be classified as equity instruments if they meet certain criteria. The application of these amendments did not have effect either on financial position or operating results of the Company.
 
Amendment to IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”: “Items Qualifying for Hedge Accounting”
 
The amendment clarifies that an entity may portion of part of change in the fair value or variability of cash flows for a financial instrument as a hedged item. Additionally, the amendment raises the issue of identifying inflation as a hedging risk or part of this risk in specific circumstances. The Company came to a conclusion that this amendment will not have effect on its financial position or operating results since the Company does not engage in hedging transactions.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
Amendments to IFRIC 9 “Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives” and IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
 
Pursuant to the amendment to IFRIC 9 an entity must assess whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract when an entity reclassifies a compound financial instrument out of the 'fair value through profit or loss' category. Such assessment must be done on the basis of the conditions that existed at the latest of the following dates: the date an entity first became a party to the contract or the date of introducing changes to the contract that significantly modify the cash flows. The revised IAS 39 specifies that when an embedded derivative may not be reliably assessed, the whole compound instrument must still be classified as belonging to the “fair value through profit or loss” category.
 
IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes”
 
IFRIC 13 requires loyalty award credits granted under customer loyalty programmes to be accounted for as separate components of the sale transaction under which they are granted. A portion of the fair value of the received consideration is allocated to the award credits and attributed to subsequent periods. Then the amount attributed to subsequent periods is recognized as revenue in periods when an entity fulfills its obligations with regard to the awards. Application of these amendments did not have effect either on the financial position or operating results of the Company.
 
IFRIC 16 “Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation”
 
This interpretation must be applied prospectively. IFRIC 16 provides instructions on accounting of hedge of a net investment. It also provides instructions on how to identify currency risks qualifying for hedge accounting in a hedge of a net investment, as well as the instructions on which entity within a group can hold a hedging instrument in a hedge of a net investment. Furthermore, the Interpretation specifies how an entity should determine the amounts of income or expense from currency translation to be reclassified to profit or loss for both the hedged investment and the hedging instrument when the entity disposes of the investment.
 
IFRS Improvements
 
In May 2008 and April 2009, IASB issued the first collection of amendments to its standards, aiming mostly at removal of internal irregularities and clarification of wordings. For each standard, there are specific transitional provisions.
 
Application of the below standards (as amended) has resulted in change of the accounting policy but did not have effect either on financial position or operating results of the Company.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
Amendment to IFRS 5 «Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations» clarifies that the requirements with respect to disclosures of non-current assets and disposal groups that are classified as held for sale, as well as disclosures of discontinued operations are exclusively specified in IFRS 5. The requirements with respect to disclosures specified in other IFRS apply only if expressly provided for such non-current assets or discontinued operations.
 
Amendment to IFRS 8 «Operating Segments» clarifies that segment assets and liabilities must be reported only if these assets and liabilities are included in the estimate used by an executive authority responsible for making operating decisions.
 
Amendment to IAS 1 «Presentation of Financial Statements»: Assets and Liabilities Classified as Held for Trading under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are not automatically classified as current in the statement of financial position. The Company has analyzed whether the Management’s estimate for the period of disposal of financial assets and liabilities differs from the instrument classification. As a result, no reclassifications between the current and non-current financial instruments are found in the statement of financial position.
 
Amendment to IAS 7 «Statement of Cash Flows» explains that only costs resulting in asset recognition may be classified as cash flows. This amendment will have effect on presentation in the statement of cash flows of the contingent consideration provided in the course of the business combination completed in 2009 at cash outflows.
 
Amendment to IAS 16 «Property, Plant and Equipment» has replaced the term “net selling price” with the term “fair value net of costs to sell ”. The Company has accordingly changed its accounting policy, which did not modify its financial position.
 
IAS18 «Revenue»: IASB has introduced a guidance (supplementing the standard) for determining whether an entity is acting as a principal or as an agent. Below are the key questions to be considered in doing so:
 
v Whether an entity bears primary liability for providing products or services;
v Whether an entity is exposed to the risk of impairment or loss of inventories;
v Whether an entity is free at pricing;
v Whether an entity is exposed to credit risk.
 
The Company has analyzed its contracts for receiving revenue under these criteria and has concluded that in all such contracts it acts as a principal. The accounting policy with respect to revenue recognition has been changed as appropriate.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
Amendment to IAS 20 «Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance»:
 
According to the introduced amendments, interest-free loans and below-market loans will no longer be excluded from the scope of application of the imputed interest accrual requirement. Imputed interest will be accrued on below-market loans. This amendment did not have effect on the Company financial statements as the received government grants are actually not loans but non-repayable grants.
 
Amendment to IAS 23 «Borrowing Costs»:
 
Definition of borrowing costs was reviewed with a view to combine two types of items recognized as components of borrowing costs into one – interest costs calculated by means of effective interest rate method, according to IAS 39.
 
The Company has accordingly modified its accounting policy, which did not cause changes to its financial position.
 
Amendments to IFRS 36 «Impairment of Assets»: If discounted cash flows are used for measurement of “fair value net of costs to sell”, then the amendment prescribes an additional disclosure of the discount rate, as well as the associated information which disclosure is required at application of discounted cash flows for measurement of value in use. This amendment has not had effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for this reporting period as the recoverable cost of each of its cash generating units is now determined based on value in use. Apart from that, an amendment was introduced identifying a separate operating segment under IFRS 8 as the largest unit that may be used for distribution of goodwill gained as a result business combination, not an aggregation of separate operating segments grouped for purposes of reporting. The amendment did not have effect on the Company financial statements since annual audit for impairment is performed for separate segments prior to their aggregation.
 
Amendment to IAS 38 «Intangible Assets»: The costs associated with advertizing and promotional activities are recognized as expenses at the moment when the Company either has the right to access products or receives a service. This amendment did not have effect on the Company activities as it is not involved in such types of promotional activities.
 
The reference to extraordinary rare, if any at all, convincing evidences in support of intangible assets depreciation method other than straight-line depreciation method was removed. The Company has reviewed the useful life of the owned intangible assets and has concluded that application of a straight-line depreciation method is still justified.
 
Other amendments to the below standards adopted as a result of the project “IFRS Improvements’ did not have effect on accounting policy, financial position or operating results of the Company:

2.2         Segment reporting
 
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
 
The only operating segment of the Company is implementation of medium-term real estate development projects. All operational activity of the Company is carried out in the Russian Federation.
 
2.3         Foreign currency translation
 
(a) Functional and presentation currency
 
The Board of Directors considers the USD as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. The financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
 
(b)  Foreign currency
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at end of period exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.Results and financial indices of foreign business are translated into presentation currency to include them in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with consolidation principles such as elimination of the balances on calculations within the group and intercompany transactions of a subsidiary. In accordance with IAS 21.45 the incorporation of the results and financial position of a foreign operation with those of the reporting entity follows normal consolidation procedures, such as the elimination of intragroup balances and intragroup transactions of a subsidiary.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
However, an intragroup monetary asset (or liability), whether short-term or long-term, cannot be eliminated against the corresponding intragroup liability (or asset) without showing the results of currency fluctuations in the consolidated financial statements. This is because the monetary item represents a commitment to convert one currency into another and exposes the reporting entity to a gain or loss through currency fluctuations. Accordingly, in the consolidated financial statements of the reporting entity, such an exchange difference continues to be recognized in profit or loss or, if it arises from the circumstances described in IAS 21.32, it is classified as equity until the disposal of the foreign operation.
 
The goodwill gained when acquiring foreign business, and any adjustments of fair value of assets and liabilities appeared when acquiring this foreign business are recorded as its assets and liabilities that are expressed in functional currency of this foreign currency and translated at a closing rate.
 
2.4         Property, plant and equipment
 
(a)  
Owned assets
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at actual or probable cost of purchase or non-contracted construction, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost of property, plant and equipment constructed on a non-contractual basis includes direct material and labor costs and related overheads. If property, plant and equipment item consists of several components having different useful lives, such components are carried as separate property, plant and equipment items.
 
(b)  
Depreciation
 
Depreciation is calculated for the probable useful life of certain items of property, plant and equipment based on a straight-line method and is allocated to the financial result. Leased property, plant and equipment are amortized during the shorter of useful life or leasing period. Depreciation begins when the asset becomes available for use, i.e. when location and condition of the asset provide for use as planned by the management, and as to the assets constructed on a non-contractual basis – from the date of completion of construction and preparation to further use. Depreciation is ceased at de-recognition of the asset.
 
Useful lives of different assets are shown below:
 
§ Buildings and facilities 20 - 100 years
§ Plant and equipment 5 -   20 years
§ Other 2 - 5 years
 
2.5         Operating lease
 
In case of operating leases, lease payments are recorded as expenses allocated equally in the course of the entire lease period, except for cases when another systematic basis shows the time schedule to gain benefits more distinctly.

2.6         Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets are presented in the fair value accounting. Intangible assets mainly include tenant rights on land. In accordance with the Urban Development Code of Russian Federation the rights to lease the land are given to the company-developer by the governing agencies. Usually, the leasing rights are given for the duration of the construction project and can be extended in case the construction is not completed on time, because at this stage of the development of the investment property the tenant rights can not be revoked. On top of that the rights for the lease of the land have to be transferred to the final tenant. The ownership of the tenant rights is temporarily for the Company and required only for the completion of the construction project, because is issued by the government authorities especially for the purpose of the development of the approved construction object. Market value of the tenant rights can not be amortized by the Company during the construction period (thus they are assumed to have an indefinite useful life for the Company), because the ownership rights for the lease of land are temporary. In addition, the value of rights will increase many times with the completion of the construction project; thus, in case of depreciation of the fair value of the existing tenants rights during the course of construction this may lead to the accumulated discrepancy from period to period between actual market value and market value recorded in financial statements, which will be a deviation from the principal of accounting assets based on their market value.
 
In accordance with the construction practice of the Russian Federation, these tenant rights using for construction are of strong demand on the market and assessed at the market value. The market for such tenant rights is steady and stable, and on top the demand is keen based on the growing construction demand in Sochi due to 2014 Winter Olympics. These rights can be transferred, sold to the party concerned without any restrictions.
 
They are often sold with a subsidiary to which these rights are acquired. After the construction is completed, rights to land lease are re-executed in favor of an ultimate consumers of the real estate.
 
The fair value of lease rights is determined bythe Company, and in doing so the Company considers in part the report ofan independent professional appraiser with the appropriate qualification and long-term experience in appraising similar facilities; a comparative method is applied for valuation. This method envisages comparisons of the nature and differences of every similar facility from the facility to appraise, comparison of prices of every similar facility, calculation of the market value of a facility applying justified aggregation of prices of similar facilities. Elements for comparison include factors of the value of a facility to appraise which change influences the market value of a facility to appraise.
 
2.7         Goodwill
 
Goodwill means the excess of purchase cost over the fair value of the portion of net assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of an acquired subsidiary as at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured for possible impairment at least on an annual basis, and also if any signs of impairment are in place. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
 
If the buyer’s interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is in excess of business combination costs it is recognized as income generated from a subsidiary acquisition in the income statement.
 
2.8         Trading Property
 
Construction of real estate projects for the purpose of the onward sale is presented in the accounting as trading property and is estimated at actual incurred expenditure costs.
 
After recognition trading property is measured at the lowest of: cost of acquisition and net realizable value.
 
At each reporting date, the Group assesses if there are any indications of possible impairment of the asset. If this is a case or if annual assessment for impairment is required for the asset, then the Group assesses the recoverable amount for the asset.
 
2.9         Trade and other receivables
 
Trade and other receivables are stated at historical cost net of allowance. The Company makes provision for past due doubtful trade and other receivables based on historical experience.
 
2.10         Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, demand deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Restricted cash balances comprise balances of cash and cash equivalents which are restricted as to withdrawal under the terms of certain borrowings or under banking regulations.
 
2.11         Repurchase of treasury shares
 
If shares accounted for as share capital are repurchased, the paid–out amount, including transaction direct expenses, is accounted for as changes in equity.
 
2.12         Loans and Borrowings
 
Loans and borrowings are initially carried at par value. Long-term credits and loans are recorded at amortized cost applying the effective interest rate method. Respective income and losses are recognized in the profit and loss statement.
 
2.13         Expenses on loans
 
Expenses on loans directly connected with acquisition, construction or production of an asset that demands a long period to be prepared for operation in accordance with the Company’s intentions or for sale are capitalized as a part of the initial value of this asset. All other expenditures on loans are recorded as expense in the reporting period when expenses are borne. Expenditures on loans include payment of interest and other expenses borne by the Company with respect to borrowings.

2.14         Trade and other payables
 
In initial recognition, trade and other payables are reported at its fair value and subsequently accounted for at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method.
 
2.15         Provisions
 
Provision is recorded in the statement of financial position if the Company’s liability appears, de jure or de facto, as a result of a certain event, and there is a probability that some cash outflow may be required to settle the liability. If the influence of discounting is material, the amounts of provisions will be measured by discounting anticipated future cash flows at before tax discount rates, which reflects the present market value of the temporary cost of cash and risks, as appropriate, related to this liability.
 
2.16         Income tax
 
The Company is domiciled in British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of BVI, there is no income, estate, corporation, capital gains or other taxes payable by the Company.
 
Some subsidiaries of the Company are registered in the territory of Russian Federation and are taxable in accordance with the Russian Law requirements, effective as of the reporting date.
 
The Company currently incurs withholding taxes imposed by certain countries on investment income and capital gains. Such income or gain is recorded gross of withholding taxes in the income statement.
 
2.17         Deferred tax
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated in respect of temporary differences using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for all temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. A deferred tax asset is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset will be realized or if it can be offset against existing deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
 
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associated undertakings and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
 
If a subsidiary’s taxable profit and tax losses (and the tax base of its non-monetary assets and liabilities) are determined in another currency, foreign exchange fluctuations cause temporary differences that are responsible for recognition of a deferred tax liability or asset. This deferred tax is debited or credited to profit or loss accounts.

2.18         Financial income and expenses
 
Finance revenue and finance costs include interest expenses on loans and borrowings, accumulated interest on provisions, interest-bearing gains on financial investments, dividends received, positive and negative foreign exchange differences, income and losses from revaluation and disposal of investments available for resale.
 
Borrowing costs are capitalized if they relate to acquisition, construction, or production of a qualified asset; provided that there is a strong probability of future economic benefits and the costs can be measured reliably.
 
If the borrowings were specifically obtained by the Company for acquisition, construction, or production of a certain qualified asset, the amount of costs to be capitalized is determined as actual expenses incurred when obtaining a loan in the reporting period, less any revenues from short-term investment of those borrowed funds prior to investing them to the qualified asset.
 
2.19         Impairment of assets
 
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the income-generating unit of that asset. Impairment losses are carried to the statement of income.Management estimated the fair value, and in doing so considered in part the report of third party professional appraiser.
 
2.20         Revenues
 
Revenues from the sale of residential apartments are recognized when the principal risks and rewards relating to the ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenues are not recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the collection of the consideration and the related costs or if there is continuing managerial involvement of the Company with respect to the real estate sold.
 
Service and management charges are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. When the Company is acting as an agent, the commission rather than gross income is recorded as revenue at the date when the commission is earned.
 
2.21         Employee benefits
 
In the normal course of business the Company contributes to the Russian Federation State pension plan on behalf of its employees. Mandatory contributions to the State pension plan, which is a defined contribution plan, are expensed when incurred and are included within staff costs inoperating expenses. The Company does not have discretionary post-retirement obligations.

Dividends and dividend taxes are stated as liability in the period when they are declared by the General meeting of shareholders and are payable in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. The amount of retained earnings, which may be distributed among shareholders in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, is determined on basis of financial statements of separate companies of the Company. These amounts may differ significantly from the amounts calculated on basis of IFRS.
 
2.23         Fair value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments, approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, account receivable, short term loans, accounts payable, and short term borrowings. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.
 
The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value on the current market conditions for similar debt instruments.
 
2.24         Earnings per Share
 
(a)         Basic
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit, attributable to equity shareholders of Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding the weighted average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.
 
(b)         Diluted
 
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The company may have two categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares: convertible debt and share options. The convertible debt is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net profit is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect. For the share options, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, including currency risk and price risk. The Company’s objective is to achieve capital growth through investing in real estate projects.
 
3.2         Market price risk

4.           Critical accounting estimates and judgments
 
4.1         Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
 
Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.
 
Fair value of intangible assets
 
The Company possesses intangible assets that are recognized at fair value. Such assets include tenant rights, construction licenses and technical permissions of regulatory authorities. Fair values of such assets are determined annually bythe Company, and in doing so the Company considers in part the report of independent appraisers.
4.2         Critical judgments
 
Functional currency
 
The functional currency for the Company is the USD. In the case of subsidiaries located in the Russian Federation, where the functional currency is not the USD, the financial statements have been measured in local currency, Russian Rubles (“RUR”), and translated into presentation currency at the applicable exchange rates as required by IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” (“IAS 21”) for inclusion in these consolidated financial statements.
 
Thus, the results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are translated into a different presentation currency using the following procedures:
 
(a)  
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented (i.e. including comparatives) are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement;
(b)  
income and expenses for each income statement (i.e. including comparatives) are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;
and
(c)  
all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity (named in presented financial statements as Translational reserve).

Revenue recognition from sale of trading property
 
The Company's management has reviewed the detailed recognition criteria of revenue under the construction agreements and the revenue recognition on services rendered on construction organization, described in IAS 11 "Construction Contracts", IAS 18 "Revenue" and, specifically, if the Company has acquired significant risks and benefits. Having analyzed in detail its construction contracts, management is convinced, that the revenue recognition by the Company is in proportion to the amount of expenses incurred, correct and correlates with the recognition of the relevant construction costs.
 
Recognition of liabilities under investment contract
 
In accordance with terms and conditions of the Residential Investment Agreement by and between the Administration of the City of Sochi and the group subsidiary (“SOMO” LLC) of August 6, 2007, the Company is obligated to transfer 9,4% of the total Kurortny project area to the Administration of the City of Sochi only upon completion of the construction and technical approval of the building by the designated municipal and state authorities. Due to this fact the Company’s management has decided not to account for the share of the City of Sochi in the presented consolidated financial statements. According to common business practice, the liability under the above-mentioned Investment Agreement would be accounted for when the construction project is completed by more than 60%. At the reporting date the completion of the construction project is less than 60%.
 
Non-controlling interests in “SOMO” LLC
 
The Company’s Management has prepared these combined consolidated financial statements that account for 100% factual ownership in “SOMO” LLC, including the interest owned by the main beneficiary of the Company (Roman Plavnik). The interest in “SOMO” LLC owned by Roman Plavnik is fully transferred to the Company for purposes of operational management. For this reason, the Company’s management has not accounted for the minority interest in these combined consolidated financial statements. The Management understands the requirements of IAS 27 related to the use of the purchase method, and further discloses that these consolidated financial  statements  are  combined  and  prepared  with  deviation  from  IAS 27  only in the part
 
related to the method of purchasing interest in “SOMO” LLC. This approach can be used in practice to account for the factual ownership interest in subsidiaries when the entire group of companies is managed by the final single beneficiary.
 
Besides controlling “SOMO” LLC de facto after the reporting date, the Company has acquired 2/3 of the ownership interest in “SOMO” LLC and therefore confirms its status of 100% ownership in “SOMO” LLC de jure (see Events after the balance sheet date).

Acquisition of “SOMO” LLC
In the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company acquired 1/3 of “SOMO” LLC.Despite the fact that 2/3 of the company belonged to Roman Plavnik the Company did not control the «SOMO» LLC.On acquisition of the remaining share the Company acquired the full control over the «SOMO» LLC (thus, the Company actually controlled its subsidiary SOMO LLC through direct ownership of 1/3 interest and operational management of the 2/3 interest belonging to Roman Plavnik).  The judgments of the Company’s management on reporting the non-controlling interest in case of acquisition of SOMO LLC are provided in Note 4.2. (see Non-controlling interests in “SOMO” LLC).
 
The total acquisition amount is equal to $1,200,000 in cash of which $460,000 was paid in 2008 and $95,000 was paid in 2009.The remaining balance is due on or before March 1, 2011.
 
In accordance with constituent documents and Russian law, “SOMO” LLC is not public. The authorized capital of “SOMO” LLC is not a shareholders' equity, it consists of the face value of the ownership ratio of participants. The amount of the authorized capital is equal to 12 000 roubles where 4 000 roubles were contributed by a third-party individual (or one third of the authorized capital), and 8 000 roubles were contributed by Roman Plavnik (or two third of the authorized capital). The ownership interest in total equity of each participant is determined in proportion to the nominal value of the ownership ratio in the authorized capital. As there are no shares for the SOMO LLC acquisition transaction, calculation of the indices regarding share quantity are as follows:
 
October 8, 2008
     
Investment for purchasing of the ratio of a third-party owner (or one third of the Authorized Capital)
