subsidiaries or on gains upon their disposal. The Group does not recognise deferred tax liabilities on such
temporary differences except to the extent that management expects the temporary differences to reverse in
the foreseeable future.
Uncertain tax positions. The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at the end of
each reporting period. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as
more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax
authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for
penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management’s best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the obligations at the end of the reporting period.
Adjustments for uncertain
income tax positions are recorded within the income tax charge.
Debt. Debt is recognised initially at its fair value. Fair value is determined using the prevailing market rate of
interest for a similar instrument, if significantly different from the transaction price. In subsequent periods,
debt is stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method; any difference between the fair value of
the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the consolidated income
statement as an interest expense over the period of the debt obligation.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of assets that necessarily take a substantial time to get ready for intended use or sale (qualifying
assets) are capitalised as part of the costs of those assets, if the commencement date for capitalisation is on
or after 1 January 2009.
The commencement date for capitalisation is when (i) the Group incurs expenditures for the qualifying asset;
(ii) it incurs borrowing costs; and (iii) it undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its
intended use or sale.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues up to the date when the assets are substantially ready for their
use or sale. The Group capitalises borrowing costs that could have been avoided if it had not made capital
expenditure on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs capitalised are calculated at the group’s average funding
cost (the weighted average interest cost is applied to the expenditures on the qualifying assets), except to
the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. Where this
occurs, actual borrowing costs incurred less any investment income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings are capitalised.
Interest payments capitalised as part of the cost of an assets are classified as cash outflows from financing
activities in
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Employee benefits. Wages, salaries, contributions to the Russian Federation state pension and social
insurance funds, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits (such as health
services) are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the employees of the
Group.
Defined benefit plans. The Group operates defined benefit plans that cover the majority of its employees.
Defined benefit plans define the amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement,
usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service, minimum tariff rate of remuneration
and others.
The net liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans
operated by the Group is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period
less fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligations are calculated by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligations are determined by discounting the estimated future cash
outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits
will be paid associated with the operation of the plans, and that have terms to maturity approximating the
terms of the related pension liabilities.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from remeasurement of pension benefit obligations are recognised in other
comprehensive income. Past service cost is immediately recognised in profit or loss within operating
expenses.
Defined contribution plans. For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions and has no further
payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee
benefit expense when they are due. In the normal course of business the Group contributes to the Russian
Federation defined contribution state pension scheme on behalf of its employees. Mandatory contributions to

the governmental pension scheme are expensed when incurred and included in employee benefit expenses
and payroll taxes in the consolidated income statement.
Other post-employment benefit obligations. The Group pays a one-off financial aid on occasion of an
employee's jubilee. The amount of the benefit depends on one or more factors, such as the age, length of
service in the company and salary used in the Group companies and others.
For the purpose of calculating benefit obligations of these types, actuarial gains and losses arising as a result
of adjustments or changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised within profit or loss in the consolidated
statement of income in the period when they arise. All other aspects of accounting for these obligations are
similar to those of accounting for defined benefit obligations.
Finance lease liabilities. Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership to the Group, the assets leased are capitalised in property, plant and
equipment at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the
present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and
finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding
rental obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest cost is charged to
profit or loss over the lease period using the effective interest method. The assets acquired under finance
leases are depreciated over their useful life or the shorter lease term if the Group is not reasonably certain
that it will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which does not transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor to the Group, the total lease payments are charged to
profit or loss for the year on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term is the non-cancellable
period for which the lessee has contracted to lease the asset together with any further terms for which the
lessee has the option to continue to lease the asset, with or without further payment, when at the inception of
the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option.
When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the lease payments receivable are recognised as
rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Environmental liabilities. Liabilities for environmental remediation are recorded where there is a present
obligation, the payment is probable and reliable estimates exist.
Revenue recognition. Revenue is recognised on the delivery of electricity and heat, provisioning for
capacity, supply of non-utility services and on the dispatch of goods during the period. Revenue from retail
operations is recognised on delivery of electricity and heat to the customer. Revenue amounts are presented
exclusive of value added tax.
Revenue transactions under free bilateral contracts are shown net of related purchases of equivalent
electricity volumes which the market participant is obliged to make in accordance with the industry
regulations. Additional turnover in the amount of RR 6,288 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 (for
the year ended 31 December 2014: RR 10,064 million) is shown net for presentation purposes to reflect the
economic substance of transactions.
Government grants. Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current
liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the expected lives
of the related assets. Government grants are included in cash flows from operating activities.
Earnings per share. The earnings per share are determined by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
reporting period, excluding the average number of treasury shares held by the Group.
Share capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Any excess of the placement value over the par value of
shares issued is recorded as share premium in equity.
Treasury shares. Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company’s equity instruments, the
consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, net of income taxes, is deducted
from equity attributable to the Company’s owners until the equity instruments are reissued, disposed of or
cancelled. In case the consideration paid is non-cash asset, the treasury shares received are recognised at
the fair value of this asset. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration
received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is
included in equity attributable to the Company’s owners.
