3. Residential property Kiev Proposal By December 2012 the amount of the primary real estate market in Kiev was about 13.5 thousand apartments. Secondary segment of residential real estate was about 8.5 thousand suggestions. Reduction in the volume of apartments' supply (2.3%) was caused by the increase of sales in the secondary and primary market segments, as well as traditional reduction of the volumes of the secondary segment at the end of the year. Stabilization at the real estate market during 2011-2012 led to progressive renewal of interest in development of residential properties. Thus, at year-end of 2012 the primary real estate market was replenished by a number of significant projects in all segments. Released positive trend is the growing compliance with the requirements of buyers and their financial resources. By December 2012 proposal in segment of real estate includes 16 residential objects (about 1750 apartments excluding absorption) that are in various stages of readiness. During 2012 proposal for luxury housing increased by 264 apartments owing to the sales in new housing estates – “H Tower”, “Zverinetskyi”, “Chelsea Tower”. The unique concept of “H-Tower” is to provide a better service to the future inhabitants of the world hotel operator “Hilton”. Significant objects entered the primary real estate market in 2012 *startup of 1st stage

4. Residential property Kiev At the end of 2012 club house in Michurin street (7 apartments),residential complex “ Dimond Hill” (131 apartments) and two buildings in residential area "Vozdvizhenka" (12 apartments) were put into operation in the luxury segment . Stable demand at primary real estate business class stipulates the launching of new projects in the segment. Key characteristics of opened objects during 2012 (Park Stone, Boulevard fountains, NovopecherskiyDvor, Gelios) are the supply pattern shift to two-bedroom apartments with small footage and effective planning solutions. Also in 2012, the sales of the 2nd stage of the residential complex NovopecherskieLypky (419 apartments) started. By December 2012 the proposition in segment is formed by about 35 business class residential complexes. At the end of 2012 the segment was characterized by high construction activity, which led to the entering into operation of new stages of residential complexes, such as NovopecherskieLipky (623 apartments), Perstizh Hall (151 apartment), Park Avenue (215 apartments), Parkovemisto (490 apartments), River Stone (428 apartments), Elegant. The segment of the primary real estate economy class in 2012 showed high activity. Due to entrance of new residential complexes to the market, supply volume increased by more than 4.5 thousand flats. In addition economy class offer grew due to sales of the second stage housing complexes Comfort Town (600 apartments), Ministerial (850 apartments), SonyachnaBrama (311 apartments), Parkovemisto (342 apartments). The positive features of the new housing proposition at the economy segment are the reduction of square meters. Thus, the objects appeared on the market, where min. footage of ​​1-bedroom apartments starts from 34 sq. m. (residential complex on Bogatyrskaya str.). Besides, the proposition pattern changed significantly : among the objects the market share of 1 - and 2-bedroom apartments reaches 90%. Activation in housing economy class segment was caused by the developer’s observance of terms of commissioning. Primary housing from the leading real estate companies became a virtually risk-free asset. Instability in the financial sector of Ukraine (waiting for the introduction of a tax on currency exchange and devaluation of hryvna, the risk of non-return of bank deposits) gradually return the buyers to the primary real estate market. New proposition in economy class creates the background for further development of the segment, which corresponds to the current demand. According to year results major objects of economy class segment entered into operation with a total of more than five thousand apartments. On December 2012, about 60 residential complexes were made the proposition in economy-class.

5. Residential property Kiev Costs & Prices The average price of supply in the market of new buildings of Kiev as of December 2012, amounted to $1939/sq. meters. Decline in average prices by 4% at the year-end is due to changes in the structure of supply of the primary market. By the class of primary real estate average prices in December 2012 were as follows: in economy class - $ 1316/ sq. m., in business class - $ 2191/ sq. m., in elites - $ 7429/ sq. m. Decreasing in average prices to index in December 2011, correspondingly was -1.3%, (economy class), -9.5% (business class), -2.2% (elites). Primary market of residential real estate at economy class segment was characterized as stable during 2012. A little decrease of an average price was caused by the sales in the new complexes at a price below the market price. But, there was a planned price increase of some already built objects with a higher level of readiness. Changes in prices depend on the level of readiness, so it reaches 15-30%. Also in the sector, there is a huge difference in the price offer of the leading real estate developers and construction companies with weaker positions. The gap goes up to $ 300 / sq.m. at a comparable quality characteristics of the object. Average market price of the primary real estate at business class showed the largest decline of the year. In spite of 9% fall, direct reduction in price has not been fixed. Descending price dynamics is caused by structural changes: in 2012, the market slowly left those apartments which were in finished objects or were at the final stages of construction. Thus, the main volume of demand is concentrated in the segment of flats to 50-70% readiness, and their costs are 10-20% lower than of those put into operation. Price reduction at elite class, by the results of the year, occurred under the influence of new objects, released at the early stages of construction. Thus, start of sales in Chelsea Tower happened at the stage of foundation. Also, because of unsaturation of primary real estate market, the main effect on cost and prices render an overstated price expectations of developers. As a result, prices for luxury apartments are within a rather wide range from $ 3200 to $ 15000. Negative price dynamics of primary residential property, fixed in December in all segments of the housing market was caused by discounts provided by the developers in the New Year holiday’s period. The volume of discounts was 3-10%, but the least liquid apartments it reached 17%. Generally, during 2012, the total state of the primary market in Kiev remained fairly stable. The cost of housing in the primary market in Kiev, $/sq.m. The cost of housing in the primary market in Kiev by classes, $/sq.m. The cost of housing in the secondary market in Kiev, $/sq.m.

6. Residential property Kiev Demand Distinctive feature of 2012 was the gradual increase in the share of primary residence in the pattern of demand. This situation became possible due to creation of the product, comparable to its consumer characteristics at the secondary market. This is a small area apartments, situated in a newly created infrastructure and being on locations available to transport. The main volume of demand in the primary segment was concentrated in the field of residential complexes that meet the above parameters. These objects showed good sales figures: in the period of seasonal activity in the market the number of transactions were 20 apartments per month, meanwhile average market index was 5.51 apartments per month. The main volume of demand in the primary segment was concentrated in the segment of economy class (up to 80% from the total number of transactions). In this case, the smallest apartments were sold foremost. Thus, in many objects under construction 1-room apartments up to 40 sq.m. are fully realized, meanwhile , the apartments up to 45-47 sq.m. were less interesting to the buyers. Performing more efficient planning has provoked a significant increase in demand for two-bedroom apartments in the segments of the economy and business class of primary real estate, because of area reduction of apartment. But the main demand for primary housing still remains for one-bedroom apartments. The cost of housing in the primary market in Kiev by classes, $/sq.m., 2012 Source:UTG

7. Residential property Kiev The maximum buyers’ activity was observed in spring (March-April) and New Year (November-December) periods. Providing the credit lines by the developers has also the positive effect on the number of transactions. Thus, if in 2010-2011 term of loans was limited by the date of commissioning, so, in 2012 the developers met customers’ needs, prolonging granting term on the average for a year. This trend entailed changes in the structure of financing transactions: the number of sales with use of payment by installments made up 37%. However, the main source (60%) of apartments purchase was own funds of the buyers, mostly got from the previous sold apartment. In most cases (90%) the purpose to buy an apartment in 2012 was to improve own living conditions. The share of investment transactions, circulated before the crisis, did not exceed 10%. In view of substantial increase of the cost of resources, attracted by the banks, the mortgage in 2012 did not develop. Average interest rates for hypothecs loans are in the range of 22-25% per year (growth in 2012 was 2.3%). Lack of opportunities to attract long hryvnaresources makes it impossible to activate mortgage lending in the short term.

8. Fighting for the buyer will be tightened, which will result an extensive use of marketing mechanisms to promote sales and significant improvement of quality of service, including after sales service. Trends in the residential market in 2012 showed that the "price bottom" is past the point; however, nevertheless, it is too early to forecast the active growth. In prospect, the long term price dynamics will depend on the development of mortgage and growth of effective demand, which is a consequence of development of the Ukrainian economy in a whole. Given that the primary market has significant potential to increase supply due to the frozen projects; in the medium term we should expect growth in the number of new buildings in Kiev. Residential property Kiev • Forecast • In condition of macro-economic stability, prices on the primary and secondary residential market will not be subject to significant changes. • In 2013, we shall expect stable development activity. The market will be filled with new projects different from those already existing, with more rational layout and upgraded infrastructure. • New projects will be run mainly by major developers, who are able to attract substantial capital for a long period, as the demand is formed on housing in new buildings with a high degree of readiness. • Reorientation of consumer demand for primary housing that started in 2012 will be continued in 2013.
