Starting from January 1, 2014 we implemented a new accounting policy on recognition of the real estate development sales revenue. According to the new policy revenue for the full value of the real estate already contracted is recognised on the date when commissioning certificate for the building is issued. To ensure data comparability we restated the previously issued financial statement for 1H 2013.

We are happy with the results achieved in 1H 2014 and definitely optimistic about our future.
