In 2010, the volume of sales of medical equipment and disposables decreased by RUR 58.2 million, or by 8,5%, and amounted to RUR 630.5 million vs RUR 688.7 million in 2009. There was a tendency for slowing down of the rate of the volume decrease in this segment

(-8.5% in 2010 vs -36.0% in 2009). This segment is primarily financed through state open auctions, and 2010 was a year when the situation with such financing improved.

In relation to sales, total gross profit decreased from 48.7% in 2009 to 43.7% in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a higher share of third parties products in the sales structure in 2010 in relation to 2009, and to their lower margin as compared to the Company's own products.

Operating expenses increased by RUR 633.8 million or 20.0% from RUR 3,174.4 million in 2009 to RUR 3,808.2 million in 2010. In relation to sales, operating expenses decreased from 13.2% in 2009 to 12.8% in 2010.

Other expenses and other income

The other expenses in 2010 was RUR 300.8 million vs other income in 2009 which amounted to RUR 105.3 million. This change was due to the following factors: (1) certain expenditures on financing construction of various infrastructure objects by “Nauchtechstroy Plus” (NTS+)presented as other expenses andamounted toRUR 248.3 million; (2) recognition of the expenses connected to the decision of the management to close down the production line of disposable products at OJSC "TZMOI".

EBIDTA amounted to RUR 9,685.2 million or 32.6% of the overall Company’s sales. EBIDTA’sgrowthwas 0.5% inrelationto 2009 EBIDTAwhat is the evidence of effective company management.

Financial income and financial expense

Our financial expense decreased by RUR 98.3 million or 67.3% from RUR 146.0 million in 2009 to RUR 47.7 million in 2010.This was primarily due to the decrease in the balance of the Citibank syndicated loan, as per agreement concluded in 2006, scheduled for full repayment in 2011.

Financial income in 2010 grew by RUR 182.3 million and totalled RUR 315.2 million vs RUR 132.9 million in 2009. Such significant gain in financial income was due to the gain in fair value of interest rate swap and also to the interest income from cash deposits.
