2010 Highlights

Some of the key continuing projects that Company has been involved in for the past 
several years have been successfully completed in 2010. 

In 2010 the Company completed a delivery of “superblock” modular equipment to 
Rosneft, a Russian petroleum industry leader, for the 1st stage in the development 
of Vankor oil field in Eastern Siberia. This type of equipment, originally designed by 
a leading international engineering company for Rosneft, had never been manufac-
tured in Russia before. The project was refined and adapted by the HMS Group’s en-
gineers to Russian standards, and the production was carried out at an HMS facility. 
The Company managed to successfully overcome the challenges faced with execut-
ing a project of this kind and delivered all the equipment to the client on schedule. 
The reliability and efficiency of these units are one of the best in class. High technical 
level and the quality of the developed equipment have been proved by bench tests.

HMS  Group  completed  a  construction  project  of  water-lifting  pump  station  at  the 
Yylgynagyz water canal in the Lebap province of the Republic of Turkmenistan. The 
project  comprised  a  full  cycle  of  design,  manufacturing,  delivery  and  construction 
of  the  station  and  involved  several  business-units  of  the  Company.  The  facility  is 
equipped with 12 powerful D12500-10 pumping units with a  capacity of 3.5 cubic 
meters of water per second each. The new station will pump up to 35 cubic meters of 
water per second, more than twice the previous amount. The successful completion 
of this project demonstrates the Company’s strong design and integration compe-
tency and ability to carry out complex turnkey projects, involving delivery of com-
plete pumping solutions. 

In  2010  the  Company  completed  construction  works  for  the  development  of  Gaz-
promneft’s Urmanskoye oil field. Works included the construction of mission critical 
technological objects of the oilfield, such as oil pipelines, oil gathering units, oil well 
areas. HMS Group  is currently participating in a similar project of Gazpromneft  to 
develop 2nd and 3rd stages of Shinginskoye oil field in Tomsk region of Russia. 
Industrial  pumps  business  unit  of  the  HMS  Group  successfully  delivered  pumping 
systems  to  the  4th  unit  of  Kalinin  NPP  for  Power  Machines  engineering  company. 
The  Company  possesses  additional  contracts  to  deliver  pumps  for  nuclear  power 
generation to Power Machines in its current backlog for 2011. 

Sales  remained  solid  in  thermal  power  generation  pumps.  The  Company  supplied 
six high capacity D12500-24 pumps to be installed in circulation water lift station at 
the Omsk power plant 5 for TGK-11 company. Orders also came from other leading 
power generation companies, such as TGK-1 and TGK-10. 

In  2010  the  Company  has  completed  its  key  M&A  project — an  acquisition  of  Gi-
protyumenneftegaz, one of the largest independent project and design facilities in 
Russia.  It  specializes  in  designing  of  all  types  of  process  facilities  for  onshore  oil 
fields, and possesses extensive experience and reputation in this area. Most of major 
Russian oil fields have been developed in participation with GTNG. The acquisition 
enables HMS Group to broaden the range of integrated solutions and services of-
fered to its customers in the oil industry.

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Along with efficient completion of certain projects, the Company has successfully 
engaged itself in number of new significant contracts during 2010. 

In  2010  the  Company  secured  several  significant  contracts  to  deliver  integrated 
pump-based systems for a total of 14 pumping stations of East Siberia- Pacific Ocean 
trunk pipelines (ESPO-2 pipeline, ESPO-1 extension) and Purpe-Samotlor pipeline. 
In accordance with the contract, the Company will design, manufacture and deliver 
complete pumping systems, as well install and commission them on the site loca-
tions. The pumping system will be based on new types of NM-10000 and NM-7000 
pumps, designed by the Company in accordance with technical specifications of the 
client. To ensure smooth and flawless operation of the pumping system for the years 
ahead,  only  best  global  suppliers  of  auxiliary  equipment,  such  as  Siemens,  Eagle 
Burgmann and Voith Turbo were selected. Additionally, the Company has construct-
ed a large 14 MW testing facility at the production site to test the pumping system for 
the required technical parameters. Currently, the Company completed all necessary 
design and procurement works and the project went ahead without delays. 

Industrial Pumps business unit secured a contract with Atomstroyexport engineer-
ing company to manufacture and deliver eight pumping systems for Leningrad NPP. 
Additionally, HMS will be delivering pumping systems to Power Machines Company 
under the existing contract obligations. 

The  newly  acquired  GTNG  research  and  design  facility  secured  several  contracts 
for the development of Priobsk oil and gas field, one of the largest Russian oil fields, 
located  in  Khanty-Mansiysk  region  of  Western  Siberia  and  for  the  development  of 
Prirazlomnoe oil field in Yamal region.

In addition, GTNG won a contract with Transneft’s lead design institute Giprotrubo-
provod to design a significant part of “Zapolyarye-Purpe pumping station” trunk oil 
pipeline.  In  accordance  with  the  contract,  GTNG  will  design  part  of  the  pipeline, 
which will run through areas of harsh winter conditions and several underwater pas-
sages. GTNG will also design all surrounding infrastructure, such as pumping station 
platform and power lines as well as it will perform a full range of survey works and 
studies on potential environmental hazards. As a result, GTNG penetrated a new key 
market of pipeline design and helped to further strengthen the cooperation of HMS 
Group  with  Transneft.  Given  the  synergies  between  GTNG  and  other  Company’s 
business units, HMS Group anticipates a further collaboration on various complex 
Transneft’s infrastructure projects. 

The Company’s EPC business unit won a turnkey contract to construct the 1st stage 
of a crude oil metering station at the Dulisminskoe oil field in Irkutsk region of Russia 
for NK Dulisma oil company. The metering station will be constructed on the future 
Dulisma oil field-ESPO pipeline and will measure the amount of oil received from oil 
field and later pumped to the ESPO pipeline. According to the contract, HMS Group 
is responsible for carrying out all necessary construction and procurement works, as 
well as testing and commissioning by August 2011. Additionally, in 2010 HMS Group 
carried out another contract for NK Dulisma to construct and commission a crude oil 
gathering and preparation unit at the same oil field.

Aftermarket services showed a growing trend in 2010. HMS Group secured several 
important contracts to carry out maintenance and upgrade works at 36 oil process-
ing and transportation and 44 reservoir pressure maintenance facilities at TNK-BP’s 
Samotlor oil field. HMS Group possesses long-term relationship with TNK-BP and 
has been providing maintenance and upgrade services for its installed base of water 
injection pumps since 2007. Additionally, HMS Group has been carrying out repair 
and upgrade services for Rosneft’s Yuganskneftegaz subsidiary. 

In 2010 the Company recorded a significant increase in orders for associated gas 
metering equipment. Starting from 2012, all Russian oil companies will be required 
to process and refine 95% of associated gas production levels, instead of its flaring. 
Thus  oil  companies  are  actively  investing  in  modern  metering  equipment  to  moni-
tor and record associated gas production levels and the Company has been one of 
the preferred suppliers of such equipment. Additionally, HMS Group has carried out 
contracts on equipping oil companies’ metering systems with its equipment to adapt 
it for associated gas measurements. 

HMS Group is constantly striving to be on the edge of the modern technologies and 
design and deliver to its customers the most technically advanced pump-based in-
tegrated solutions. 

In  2010  the  Company’s  designed  and  offered  its  customers  several  new  types  of 
pumping equipment for various applications: 

 Newly designed NM-10000 pump for ESPO trunk oil pipelines. Fully designed by 
the Company’s R&D department, the pump features unique design solutions and is 
equipped with the most sophisticated parts, such as German electric motor, cou-
pling  and  seal.  The  pump  conforms  to  the  highest  quality,  efficiency  and  safety 
standards, putting it in line with the best global manufacturers of such equipment; 

 New types of booster pumps and oil leakage drain pumps for Transneft to be uti-
lized at ESPO pipeline pumping stations;

 New boiler feed pumps for nuclear power generation PEA-1840 for Leningrad, No-
vovoronezh and  Volgodon NPPs;

 New boiler feed pumps PE-240 and PE-315 for thermal power generation;

 2ECV  water  borehole  pump — the  pump  features  a  new  canned  electric  motor, 
a design feature, never previously applied to the ECV pumps of our manufacturing, 
and highly demanded  by the market. ECV pump is the  most popular  product for 
water works in the Company’s product range. 

In a continuing effort to supply the best quality pumping equipment and maintain an 
optimal lead time for new types of powerful pumps, largely represented in the Com-
pany’s order backlog, HMS Group commited to invest into state-of the-art manufac-
turing equipment. In 2010 the Company acquired and installed Vertimaster VMG 1.35 
CNC 4-axis machining center, produced by the leading German producer Schiess. 
The machining center is capable of handling parts weighing up to 30 tonnes, up to

4 m wide, 5 m long and 2.5 m high, which is crucial in manufacturing large specialized 
pumps for oil transportation and nuclear power generation. Additionally, HMS Group 
acquired other various types of high-precision CNC machining equipment from the 
leading global producers, such as Doosan, Demag, Skoda, Laempe, etc. 

In 2010 HMS Group began a major overhaul of water borehole pump production facil-
ity. The overhaul implies a construction of a new test and assembly facility, equipped 
with state-of the-art manufacturing equipment, which will allow doubling production 
capacity output of new 2ECV types of pumps. The construction was completed in 
2010 and the facility is planned to be commissioned in 2011. 

HMS Group is currently finishing the construction of a 14 MWt test-bed facility, which 
will allow simultaneous testing of numerous large pumping units, particularly for oil 
transportation. The testing capacity of the facility makes it unique for Russia and CIS 
and there are few such facilities over the world.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors

Chairman statement

Dear shareholders, partners and HMS employees, 
More than five years ago while elaborating the first long term strategy of HMS Group we 
set an ambitious goal to grow an industrial company on national scale, the leading player 
in pump and oil & gas equipment markets in Russia. Through all these years we have 
fulfilled a lot of strategic plans despite numerous challenges. Our achievements confirm 
that we completed the mission and have all the reasons to be proud. 

HMS Group nowadays comprises the team of the best experts in different fields, all of 
whom are used to working with cutting edge technology for the designing and production 
of modern equipment and integrated solutions required by our customers and partners. 
This is the very reason why we have been chosen by the leading major Russian companies 
such as Transneft, Rosneft, TNK BP, Lukoil, Surgutneftegaz, Gazprom, Rosatom, Inter 
RAO UES, Power Machines and Mosvodokanal. 

New development strategy of the HMS Group for the period 2010–2015 which we started 
to implement last year, sets even more ambitious goals for the management team to aim 
for with regards to the expansion of the business and to increase the Company's market 
value. The successful execution of this strategy will result in the transformation of HMS 
Group from a manufacturer of pumping and oil & gas equipment into a leading supplier 
of integrated solutions for all of the fundamental industries of the economy. 

In order to achieve our goals and expand our operations in domestic and international 
markets we require additional capital. That was the reason behind our strategic decision 
to  enter  the  international  capital  market.  HMS  Group  management  and  its  Board  of 
Directors together with a team of leading investment banks have successfully completed 
the process of preparation and Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the Company GDR's on 
London Stock Exchange in February, 2011. 

Despite  the  decline  in  global  capital  markets  early  in  2011,  HMS  Group  was  the  only 
company among those preparing for a London IPO to successfully offer its GDRs and 
attract the planned volume of investments to Company's capital. 

During  the  pre-IPO  process  which  was  initiated  long  before  2010,  the  Company  has 
started  to  develop  new  management  system,  to  consolidate  financial  accounts  of 
Company's subsidiaries in accordance with international standards, to unify the existing 
software which facilitate financial reporting. Long before the IPO, HMS Group strived to 
fulfill the key requirement applicable to a public company. 

Development  of  corporate  governance  and  internal  control  was  among  the  priorities 
for  the  Company  in  the  last  few  years.  Just  prior  to  the  IPO  HMS  Group  revised  its 
corporate structure in order to make it more transparent and clear for the international 
investors. In addition a number of new highly qualified non-executives Directors entered 
the Company's Board to support its mission to fully serve the interests and rights of the 
shareholders and to ensure the increase of the Company's market value. 

I extend my thanks to all the employees of HMS Group for their faithful and productive 
efforts in 2010 that helped the Company to enter the new phase of its development. We 
are fully committed to ensuring that the Company's team will continue to explore every 
possible opportunity to expand the Company's business by means of organic growth 
and M&As.

Artem Molchanov
The General Director, CEO

CEO statement 

Dear shareholders, partners and HMS employees, 
In the financial year 2010 HMS Group substantially expanded and strengthened its 
positions in the Russian pump and oil & gas equipment markets. The Group also en-
tered the strategically important markets of project design and integrated solutions 
for oil production and transportation. 

Based on the yearend figures, the Company has shown unprecedented growth of 
financial and operational performance in its history. The consolidated revenue of the 
Group has increased by 56% up to 23 billion RUR, EBITDA — by 86% up to 3.5 billion 
RUR, the net profit for the period reached 1.6 bln RUR which is a significant surplus 
to the 2009 figure. Last year’s backlog more than doubled and reached 19.8 bln RUR.

The figures dynamics prove that we had chosen the right path of strategic develop-
ment. The management strengthened on maximizing in-house R&D, engineering and 
project  management  competences  of  the  Company.  This  expertise  is  the  founda-
tion of the competitive advantage in our core markets, which are predominantly the 
markets of technically advanced products. We have made substantial investments 
into production technologies and testing facilities thus securing our strong market 
position for years to come.

Having  acquired  the  best  machinery  plants  of  Russia,  Ukraine  and  Belarus  within 
the Group, we brought their product quality and production to the level comparable 
with that of the industry’s leading global benchmarks. We centralized plants manage-
ment systems, increased operational efficiency, upgraded a large share of product 
portfolio, introduced and certified quality management systems and embarked upon 
full-scale refurbishment of the Group’s production facilities.

Within several years, HMS Group developed from a plain trading company into one 
of the largest supplier of integrated solutions and turn-key projects in Russian and 
the CIS markets. The scale and complexity of the projects completed in 2010 and the 
expertise and market positions of M&A targets are the best proof of the Company’s 
commitment to the strategy of sustainable growth in the interests of shareholders. 

One of the key events of the previous year was the acquisition of the majority share of 
Giprotyumenneftegaz. The integration of this largest oil fields design centre into the 
Group multiplies our capacities in managing large-scale and technically challenging 
projects for our customers in oil industry.

In the previous year, we developed our cooperation with Transneft, national oil pipe-
lines operator, further. Meeting very tight lead time, we found an efficient technical 
solution and on its basis designed and supplied two unique oil pump stations with 
direct diesel drive. Under new large contracts signed in 2010, the Company’s engi-
neers designed and produced a whole new range of trunk pipeline pump systems 
to be installed in the extension of ESPO-1 project, construction of ESPO-2 and the 
Purpe — Samotlor pipeline. Within the scope of these contracts NM-7 000 and NM-
10  000  type  pumps  with  newly  designed  flow  parts  have  already  been  produced 
and are now undergoing bench tests. These pump systems are to be supplied to the 
customer by late 2011.

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Speaking  of  the  cooperation  with  major  oil  companies,  it  is  necessary  to  mention 
the recent completion of supplies of the major part of the technological modules for 
the giant Vankor oil field of Rosneft, Russia’s oil major. For these modules units to 
be equipped, we developed over 20 various types of pump units for the majority of 
applications at the oilfield. At Rosneft’s Komsomolskoye oil field we have completed 
the bulk of compressor station construction — a system of technically complex as-
sociated gas processing and transportation units. At one of Rosneft’s subsidiaries, 
Yugansneftegaz, we have completed an upgrade project of 24 water injection pumps. 

Engineering subsidiaries of the Company have completed a large project for TNK-
BP  at  the  Kalchinskoye  oil  field,  having  constructed  an  oil  pump  station.  At  Gaz-
promneft’s Urmanskoye oil field, we have created the field’s infrastructure and com-
menced the work at the Shinginskoye oil field. 

Pump equipment for power generation, a traditional priority for the Company, saw an 
increase recently. Among most notable contracts, executed by the Company in 2010, 
was the supply of feed and circulation pumps to Power Machines, power generation 
equipment company, for the Kalinin nuclear power plant (NPP). These pumps were 
developed in compliance with the highest requirements of the NPP designers and the 
end user of the equipment, Rosatom, the national NPP authority. 

We also completed a range of projects supplying several series of large specialist 
pumps for thermal power generation for feed and water lift applications. Major orders 
came from leading power generation companies, such as TGK-1, TGK-10 and TGK-
11. Under the contract with TGK-11, we supplied six high capacity D12500-24 pumps 
to be installed in circulation water lift station at the one of the Omsk power plants. 

There  were  some  highlights  in  the  development  of  products  and  solutions  for  the 
water market. The first series of borehole pumps 2ECV with new canned electric mo-
tor was put into market. This is a milestone in development of the most widespread 
product for water works in the product range of the Company. Another significant 
event was the completion of turn-key project of Yylgynagyz canal’s main pump sta-
tion in Turkmenistan. The pump station was constructed on order of the Ministry of 
Water  Management  of  Turkmenistan  and  it  was  fully  fitted  with  Company’s  equip-
ment. The key feature of the equipment set are 12 high capacity pumps D12500-10, 
with the flow rate of 3.5 cubic meters per second each enabling the whole station to 
pump 35 cubic meters per second.

Successful  completion  of  large  scale  projects  in  the  previous  year  has  recurrently 
proved to our clients and partners large experience and extensive expertise of the 
Company at solving of technically demanding and high-profile tasks.

I  am  certain  that  the  further  efforts  of  all  employees  of  HMS  Group  will  be  aimed 
at strengthening and expanding the market positions, will develop current and cre-
ate new competitive advantages that will enable the Company to remain the market 
leader in long-term perspective.

Company strategy

HMS  Group  plans  to  achieve  continued  organic  growth  by  focusing  on  its  higher 
margin integrated and highly engineered solutions, capitalising on positive industry 
trends  and  improving  its  overall  operational  efficiency.  The  Company  also  intends 
to leverage its research and development capabilities to develop next-generation of 
customised pumps, technological upgrades and integrated pumping systems.

In addition, the Company will continue to pursue selective, value enhancing acquisi-
tions which will enable it to enter attractive new markets. It is hoped these leads will 
provide  access  to  complementary  marketing,  production  and  R&D  facilities  which 
offer operational cohesion with existing businesses.

Focus on integrated solutions and highly-engineered products. 

The Company anticipates that many of its largest customers, particularly in the oil 
and  gas  sectors,  will  continue  to  seek  to  work  with  manufacturers  that  can  offer 
integrated solutions. The Company also expects demand for such solutions will in-
crease. In addition, the provision of integrated solutions and other highly engineered 
products  tends  to  offer  higher  margins  than  stand-alone  products  and  services. 
These also often require extensive interaction with customers and involve custom-
ised  products,  providing  an  opportunity  to  strengthen  customer  relationships  and 
a strong base for aftermarket sales. The Group therefore plans to focus on growing 
its integrated solutions offerings.

Leverage and strengthen the Company’s market position to benefit from growth fac-
tors in the Company’s core markets, and to expand and diversify into new markets. 

The Company intends to further penetrate its key markets through the diversification 
and enhancement of its product portfolio, including the development and production 
of next-generation pumps and enhanced aftermarket sales and support. In the last 
twenty years, there has been a significant lack of investment in the oil transportation, 
power generation and water utility sectors in Russia and the CIS. HMS Group an-
ticipates that the ongoing modernization of this infrastructure will continue to foster 
growth in the market for pumps and modular equipment. The Company also intends 
to strengthen its position in other growing markets, such as the chemical and metal-
lurgy sectors of the Russian pump market, which it anticipates will offer significant 
growth opportunities.

In the modular equipment market, the Company plans to expand its range of custom-
ized pumping stations, metering devices for measuring flow rates of oil and associ-
ated gas. The Company also plans to target certain oil refining equipment, such as 
vessel equipment, compressor units and associated gas processing equipment to 
take advantage of attractive trends in these markets.

HMS  Group  also  plans  to  increase  its  share  of  products  for  export,  principally  to 
countries of the former Soviet Union republics or markets with historic links to the 
former Soviet Union which used or still use Soviet-era pump equipment. In particu-
lar, such export markets include the water utility sector in the majority of the former 
Soviet Union republics, the oil sector in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Iraq as well as 
the nuclear power generation market.

for  financial  reporting,  R&D,  procurement,  and  information  technology  across  the 
Company  to  ensure  that  these  functions  are  executed  efficiently  and  consistently. 
Furthermore, the Company expects to target further investment in order to increase 
capacity, to modernize and upgrade equipment at its main production facilities.

Pursue selective, value-enhancing acquisitions. 

The  Company  intends  to  make  selective,  value-enhancing  acquisitions,  targeting 
businesses that offer complementary products, provide the opportunity to expand 
into new markets and regions and broaden the Company’s core competencies. HMS 
Group intends to target acquisitions that will bring significant operational synergies. 
The Company’s acquisition strategy is also aimed at identifying attractive acquisi-
tion opportunities in high-growth sectors in which its market presence is currently 
limited, including pumps for the oil refining, chemical and metallurgy and mining sec-
tors. The fragmented nature of the industrial pumps, modular equipment and EPC 
markets  in  Russia  and  the  CIS  will  allow  HMS  Group  to  continue  to  identify  and 
acquire attractive assets that complement and further diversify its existing product 
and services portfolio.

HMS GROUP OVERVIEW 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Company overview

HMS Group is the leading pump manufacturer* and provider of flow control solutions 
and related services to the oil and gas, nuclear and thermal power generation and 
water utility sectors in Russia and the CIS.

The Company’s products are mission critical elements of projects across a diverse 
range of industries. HMS Group has participated in a number of large-scale infra-
structure projects in Russia, including providing pumps and modular equipment to 
the Vankor oil field and pumping stations for the ESPO oil pipeline.

Since  being  founded  as  a  pump  trading  and  servicing  company  in  1993,  and  un-
der the continuing leadership of its founders, German Tsoy, Artem Molchanov and 
Kirill Molchanov, HMS Group has developed into a vertically integrated provider of 
a broad range of flow control solutions to the oil and gas, power generation and water 
utility sectors in Russia and the CIS supported by a strong R&D base. The Company 
has grown through organic and acquisitive growth. At present, HMS Group’s strategy 
is focused on organic growth based on the Company’s existing assets, as well as 
selective, value-creating acquisitions.

By  virtue  of  organic  growth  and  the  consolidation  of  a  number  of  enterprises  into 
HMS Group, most of which have been key providers of pumps and flow control solu-
tions since Soviet times.The Company has an extensive installed base of pumping 
equipment throughout the former Soviet Union and several other countries, including 
Iraq. This installed base provides a natural market for the Company’s maintenance 
services and aftermarket support, as well as for replacement equipment and spare 
parts for upgrade and modernization. In addition, certain technical and regulatory re-
quirements for pumping equipment in the CIS differ significantly from those in other 
geographical markets, which the Company believes creates significant barriers for 
foreign competitors.

HMS Group provides integrated flow control solutions through three business units, 
each of which represents one of the Company’s principal segments for accounting 
purposes:

 Industrial pumps: HMS Group designs, engineers, manufactures, delivers and in-
stalls  industrial  pumps  and  related  products  for  use  primarily  in  the  oil  and  gas, 
power generation and water utility sectors, as well as in a variety of applications in 
other sectors. The industrial pumps unit’s principal products include ready-made 
pumps built to standard specifications, customized pumps and pump equipment 
and integrated pump systems. As the Company has developed, it has increasingly 
focused on higher margin products and services in the pump sector, particularly 
on bespoke, highly engineered pumping equipment and integrated pump systems 
built on a turn-key basis. The industrial pumps business unit also provides after-
market sales, maintenance and repair services and other support for its products;

 Modular equipment: The Company designs, engineers, manufactures and installs 
pump  stations,  metering  equipment,  oil,  gas  and  water  processing  and  prepara-
tion units and other equipment and systems for use primarily in oil extraction and 
transportation, as well as for the water utility sector. The modular equipment unit’s 
products are equipment packages and systems installed inside a self-contained, 
free-standing structure which can be transported on trailers, delivered to and in-
stalled  on  the  customer’s  site  as  a  modular  but  fully  integrated  part  of  the  cus-
tomer’s operations. The modular equipment unit also provides aftermarket sales, 
maintenance and repair services and other support for its products;

Competition

Industrial pumps business unit
In the industrial pumps market, HMS Group competes with domestic and leading 
international manufacturers, such as Weir and KSB. The Russian industrial pump 
market is highly fragmented, with small, specialised players represented in single 
industries, lines of pump and/or geographic regions. As a result, the Company tends 

20

Annual Report and Accounts 2010

02

HMS GROUP OVERVIEW 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

to compete with small industrial pump manufacturers in each of the sectors in which 
it operates. Customers tend to work with manufacturers that have local engineering 
expertise and that have a track record of delivering and installing pumps on time. 
The Company does not believe that there are any domestic competitors that have as 
diversified a product portfolio or a comparable R&D platform and the resultant ability 
to produce customized products or integrated solutions, or a comparable ability to 
provide aftermarket services across Russia. In addition, many Russian pump manu-
facturers produce products which are complementary to, and therefore not in direct 
competition with, the Company’s products. With respect to pumps sold to the oil and 
gas sector, the Company competes primarily with Volgogradneftemash, Votkinskiy 
Plant and Sulzer. In the power generation sector, HMS Group competes with primar-
ily KSB and in the water utility sector primarily with Grundfos and the Kataisky plant. 
The Company also competes with smaller Ukrainian and Belorussian manufactures. 

Modular equipment business unit
The Russian market for modular equipment is dominated by well-established Russian 
players holding significant market shares. According to Frost & Sullivan, HMS Group’s 
main competitor in its core modular equipment segments is OZNA, a leading producer 
of pumping stations and the leading producer of automated group metering units. The 
Company also competes with other, smaller producers of pumping stations, including 
Uraltechnostroy. The Company does not believe that it faces significant competition 
from foreign producers of modular equipment because its equipment is designed 
specifically for the harsh weather conditions typically experienced in Russia and can 
remain in operation despite extremely low temperatures, unlike most foreign-produced 
equipment. Although foreign producers of modular equipment have attempted to adapt 
their equipment, they have so far not successfully penetrated the Russian market. The 
Company believes that the proximity of the Company’s production facilities to custom-
ers’ operations is also a key advantage compared to potential foreign competitors.

EPC business unit
The Russian engineering and R&D market for the oil and gas sector is split between 
in-house and independent providers. HMS Group’s subsidiary, GTNG, is the largest 
independent R&D centre that designs oil and gas fields in Russia.

The oil field infrastructure construction market is fragmented and highly competitive; 
however, it is moving towards greater consolidation and a number of players, typically 
former in-house construction units of large oil and gas companies, derive a large pro-
portion of their revenues from a single customer, typically the former parent company. 
The three leading companies in the market are Globalstroyengineering, Stroytransgas 
and Stroygazconsulting. Foreign competitors currently have a limited presence, par-
ticularly in engineering, where knowledge of Russian technical standards is crucial. 
In the oil transportation construction market, three leading companies, Globalstroy-
engineering, Stroytransgas and MezhRegion TruboprovodStroy, dominate the market.

Science and innovation 
Innovations are one of the key factors in HMS Group’s development that help the 
Company to succeed within internal and external operational markets. HMS Group 
runs active scientific and research activities which helps the Company to improve 
the quality and technical characteristics of its products and integrated solutions. The 
research and development is conducted through the number of Company’s own insti-
tutes such as VNIIAEN, Giprotyumenneftegaz, Institut Rostovskiy vodokanlproekt and 
through special R&D departments in certain companies of HMS Group. The level of 
the equipment and design software installed in these R&D centers meets the highest 
international requirements.

Macroeconomics 
and key industry developments

Following the drop of 7.9% of GDP in 2009, in 2010 Russian economy concentrated 
on  recovering  from  crisis.  The  GDP  has  grown  by  4.0%  up  to  44.9  trillion  RUR  in 
real terms. However, the consumer prices inflation remains rather high at 8.8%. The 
Ministry of Economic Development forecasts the GDP growth rate to be 4.2%, the 
inflation rate — 7%.

Investments into economy in 2010 reached 21% of GDP compared to 17.5% in 2009. 
The exchange rate of the Russian ruble to the US dollar remained stable throughout 
the  year,  with  average  of  30.4  RUR  to  a  USD,  with  noticeable  strengthening  trend 
towards the year end. The balance of trade in 2010 was positive, with export consti-
tuting over 11% of GDP. The share of fossil fuel and raw materials, however, remained 
the largest within the national export.

Oil Industry

Upstream
The oil production is one of the basis of the Russian economy and due to the con-
stant  demand  from  the  global  as  well  as  domestic  market  the  industry  has  been 
developing steadily with only minor slowdown due to the financial crisis. Oil is not 
only drawn from older fields in the European part of the country and Western Siberia, 
but  also  from  newly  developed  inland  fields  as  the  Vankor  and  Priobskoye  fields, 
as  well  as  the  Sakhalin  offshore  projects.  Such  new  fields  as  the  Trebs  and  Titov, 
Yurobcheno-Tokhomskoye,  Tyamkinskoye  etc.  have  seen  their  first  drilling  rig  with 
production  due  within  2–3  years.  The  Artic  seabed  is  projected  to  contain  about 
68 b t of oil reserves and the state regulation is now elaborated to enable successful 
operations in this segment.

Production drilling rate has growth by over 17% in real terms compared to the growth 
rate in the crisis-stricken 2009. This has provided the healthy state of the whole in-
dustry for the current period and the future. 

Situated in some of the world’s toughest conditions, Russian oilfields see the imple-
mentation of state-of-the-art drilling and exploration technologies. Technologies such 
as  horizontal  directional  drilling,  hydro-fracturing  and  coiled  tubing  are  now  widely 
used not only by Western service companies, but also by their Russian competitors.

Other technological developments include the drive to a higher associated gas utili-
sation  rate.  As  the  gas  transport  system  of  Gazprom  is  becoming  more  open  for 
private oil companies, many operators are beginning to invest into the new gas pro-
cessing and transportation equipment. The government-set utilization target rate is 
95% by 2012 and so far all statistics show that this target will be met on time.

Oil production in Russia reached 505 M tones in 2010, which is 2.2% increase com-
pared to 2009. The well stock reached 159 thousand (~158 thousand in 2009) and 
over 134,000 (84%) of them are actively producing. 

The capital expenditure increased from 535 bln RUR in 2009 to 596 bln RUR in 2010, 
which  is  about  11%  growth  rate.  According  to  the  drafts  of  General  Development 
plan of the oil and gas industry, the oil production rate is expected to remain stable in 
the mid-term period, with a moderate 2% growth. Such a position will be enforced by 
high oil prices fuelled by unstable political situations in key oil producing regions. The 
state regulatory framework supports this scenario of the development of the industry 
and is aimed at guaranteeing the current production level. Additionally, the govern-
ment seeks to introduce variation in tax regime to differentiate taxation of oil fields 
depending on the maturity level and field complexity (e.g. offshore, viscous oil etc.). 
This will ensure inflow of capital expenditure into fields across the board without put-
ting producing companies’ margins at risk.

Oil prices still retain strong growth trend despite the slowdown in the crisis 2009. The 
average price of barrel of Brent crude in 2005 was 55.6 USD, in 2006 — 66.4 USD, in 
2007 — 73.8 USD, in 2008 — 98.7 USD. Having overcome the 65.7 USD per barrel in 
2009, oil prices return back to the growth path and reached 80.5 USD in 2010. Indus-
try’s consensus forecast for 2011 is over 120 USD per barrel.

Midstream
Russia has the largest oil pipeline system in the world with over 50,000 km of pipe-
lines  and  261  pump’s  stations  installed.  More  than  93%  of  produced  crude  oil  in 
Russia is transferred through the trunk pipeline system.

The Operator company Transneft also faces the prospect of maintaining and upgrading 
the lengthy existing infrastructure, with many pump stations being over 40 years old.

The total crude trunk oil pipeline throughput in 2010 exceeded 470 mt, 3% increase 
in comparison with 2009.

Due  to  oil  production  starting  in  new  fields  and  new  export  markets,  the  pipe-
line  system  constantly  expands  through  new  projects,  for  instance,  the  East 
Siberia — Pacific  Ocean  (ESPO)–1  (20  mt/year,  to  be  finished  in  2011),  ESPO–1–
extension  (30  mt/year,  2013),  ESPO–2  (30  mt/year,  2013),  ESPO–2-extension 
(17 mt/year, 2015), Baltic pipeline system–2 (BTS-2) — 2 (50 mt/year, 2012), Zapolyar-
noye-Purpe (45 mt/year, 2015), Purpe-Samotlor (25 mt/year, 2012) and others.

Total  capital  expenditure  of  the  operator  of  the  system,  Transneft,  in  2009  was 
224 bln RUR. The investments in 2010 are expected to exceed 200 bln RUR, with new 
projects accounting for over 150 bln RUR. 

Due to the shift of focus of prospective oil exploration, the capital expenditure is ex-
pected to grow in order to enable the transportation of oil from East Siberia. 

Trunk pipelines lead not only across the land border, but also to sea ports. Controlled 
by oil majors and private companies, many ports are also undergoing much needed 
upgrade that will enable the export of the oil and oil products by sea. Ongoing proj-
ects include Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Ust-Luga and De-Kastri. Future projects include, 
among others, Primorsk, Taman, the Perevoznaya bay and Prigorodnoe.

Downstream
In 2010 248 mt of oil were refined in Russia, which is 5.82% more than in 2010. The 
maximum capacity of the inland refineries (260 mt/year) is not yet reached; however, 
the majority of refineries is outdated and requires upgrade. The outdated character-
istics are stressed by the average low processing depth of Russian refineries, 71.2%

in 2010, a relative decrease compared with 71.9% in 2009. The average processing 
depth in the EU is 85–90%, whereas the figure in the USA is even greater – 95%.

The regulatory framework aimed at increasing inland refining capacity and process-
ing depth is elaborated. Measures include switch to higher automotive petrol stan-
dards,  change  in  crude  oil  export  duties  and  obligatory  cut  off  from  oil  products 
pipelines of refineries with processing depths lower than 70%. Greater duty will be 
put on exports of relatively simpler oil products such as heating oil and bitumen, thus 
stimulation the shift towards more processing depth within the country. 

New projects include a Tatneft refinery in Tatarstan — the largest new refinery in the 
country to be built for over 20 years (to be completed in 2015), new refinery of Ros-
neft in Nakhodka (to be completed in 2017), Mari El refinery (to be completed in 2015), 
Verkhotursk refinery (2014), Tomsk (2015), Yaisk (2014). A major long-term upgrade is 
expected to start in the Kirishi refinery (Surgutneftegaz).

Additionally  contributing  to  future  growth  is  the  low  coverage  of  our  own  refining 
capacity of oil production with almost every major oil company in Russia — the com-
panies simply are not capable of refining the volume of oil they produce. Even such 
major retail players as Lukoil and TNK-BP have only about 70–75% coverage of own 
output.  The  insufficient  petrol  output  partly  leads  to  constant  price  increase  of  oil 
products, for instance, car petrol. The average price of a liter of petrol in Russia in-
creased from 16.79 RUR in 2005 to 25.00 RUR in 2010.

Energy, Union of Oil and Gas Producers of Russia.

The capital expenditure in the segment 2010 are 271 bln RUR, which is almost 18% 
more than the spend in 2009. The strategic goal is to reach the processing depth of 
77% in 2012, and 83% by 2015.

Power generation
Russia  remains  one  of  the  largest  electricity  producers  in  the  world,  only  behind 
China  and  the  USA.  Relatively  low  energy  efficiency  of  national  industries  creates 
high  electricity  demand.  This  demand,  in  turn,  faces  the  limited  and  aging  energy 
producing capacity, which results in ever increasing tariffs. High tariffs are one of the 
sources for high investment programs of the power generator companies.

The output of electricity in Russia in 2010 increased by 4.7% compared to 2009 and 
reached 1,036,400 mln KW/h. 

Nuclear power plants produced 170 b KW/h. in 2010, 4.1% more than in 2009. Ther-
mal power plants produced 699 b KW/h, 7.3% increase to 2009. Hydro power plants’ 
production fell by 4.4% to the 2009 level — 168 b KW/h.

Thermal power plants
In 2010 Russia’s joint installed thermal power plant capacity was 156.1 GW. 

Thermal power generation plants are quite outdated — almost 60% of the installed 
capacities  are  over  30  years  old.  The  aging  equipment  has  an  impact  on  the  ef-
ficiency — Russian plants have the average efficiency ratio of 36.6%, the average in 
the developed economies is 41%. This discrepancy implies the need for equipment 
upgrades with all major power generation companies.

Post-crisis 2010 saw only a few state-of-the-art projects — Kaliningrad Station-2 and 
Shaturskaya Station. However, in 2011 there are about 30 projects expected to be 
commissioned with the total capacity of 6.1 GW.

The investments in 2010 reached 220 bln RUR, which is an increase of 90% com-
pared to 2009. 

The forecast capital expenditures in 2011 are expected to be 300 bln RUR.

Nuclear power plants
In 2010 in Russia there were 32 nuclear reactors in operation with installed capacity 
24,242 MW.

Most  of  the  reactors  are  in  need  of  an  upgrade,  with  80%  of  the  capacity  being 
20–40 years old. The state operator Rosatom has elaborated a larger-scale invest-
ment programme, first actions have already been taken — in 2010 Rostov NPP-2 was 
commissioned. New projects include several stations finished in the short term, e.g. 
Kalinin NPP, unit 4 in 2011, Novovoronezh-2, unit 1 in 2013, Beloyarsk NPP’s BN-800 
unit and Leningrad NPP-2, unit 1 in 2014.

The investment in the industry was 175 bln RUR, a 2% increase on the 2009 level. 
The estimated spend for 2011 is 250 bln RUR. 

The state nuclear power agency Rosatom also bids for contracting of nuclear power 
stations abroad. The ongoing projects include projects in Bulgaria, Turkey, Slovakia, 
Ukraine and Belarus. Predominantly, the blueprints for these projects include equip-
ment of Russian origin.

Hydro power plants
There are 102 hydro power stations in Russia with the installed capacity of 46 GW, 
5th largest in the world. However, hydro power plants operate aged equipment — over 
80% of equipment is more than 30 years old. 

The investments of the state-owned operator Hydro-OGK (Rushydro) in 2010 reached 
80 bln RUR, a 30% increase to 2009. It is estimated that the capital expenditures in 
2011 will exceed 110 bln RUR.

Water
Russian water utilities still remain in the dire need of development. The share of pop-
ulation with access to municipal water supply infrastructure in Russia (75%) is lower

than that in developed countries (up to 95%). The quality of water supplied through 
centralized systems is to be enhanced — up to a third of the country’s population use 
water from sources not equipped with adequate water treatment facilities.

The wear and tear of water supply networks and waste water treatment plants is 63% 
on average. According to the Ministry of Regional Development, annual investment 
requirements are estimated to be 2 trillion RUR, however, the actual level is much 
lower.

In order to compensate for capital expenditures, the predominantly municipally con-
trolled utilities companies have been increasing tariffs in excess of the annual infla-
tion rates. The water component’s increase in the tariff was the largest — 17.6% in 
2010.  The  state  forecast  of  inflation  in  2011  is  7%,  whereas  the  average  expected 
tariffs growth rate is at least 15%. Thus, the industry is shifting towards the full un-
subsidized  coverage  of  the  utility  prices  by  the  population,  which,  combined  with 
the proposed regulatory framework, makes the water utilities attractive to strategic 
investors. 

Apart from the tariffs, the sources for the much-needed capital expenditure will in-
clude the state federal programme “Clean Water”, with a total amount of over 330 bln 
RUR and a timespan from 2011–2017. There is a number of ongoing regional projects 
financed from all three levels of the state budget — federal, regional and municipal. 
Such programmes include upgrades of the water works in St. Petersburg, Grozny, 
Far East and Transbaikal and others. 

The  legal  framework  is  expected  to  be  based  upon  state-private  partnership  and 
introduction  of  private  management  and  operation  of  water  utilities,  however,  the 
government and expert community have yet to establish the rules for the industry.

As the disastrous summer of 2010 showed, an efficient irrigation system is an integral 
part of reliable agriculture. In 2010, Russian grain crop fell by 37% down to 61 m t 
compared to the previous year, and it is argued that some of the harvest could have 
been saved if the irrigation system would have been maintained properly. Currently, 
the crop of 2011 is expected to be up to 90 m t and experts claim that in order to pro-
tect agriculture against climate extremes, investments have to be made into irrigation 
and associated water works.

Backlog grew by 109%* to 19.8* bln RUR, including 1.4* bln RUR backlog from ac-
quired GTNG. Organic backlog growth excluding impact from GTNG, was up 95%. 
The  strongest  growth  was  recorded  in  Industrial  Pumps  segment,  attributable  to 
deliveries  pump-based  and  modular  pump  based  solutions  with  several  large  in-
frastructure contracts for the Group’s key clients, primarily Rosneft and Transneft.  
Revenue from Modular equipment and EPC segments has also shown solid growth 
of 39% and 46% respectively, reflecting strong demand for the equipment and con-
struction services from major Russian oil companies. 

Revenue grew by 56% to 23,070 mln RUR, including 1,381* mln RUR revenue from 
the acquired GTNG. Organic revenue growth excluding impact from GTNG, was up 
47% . The strongest growth was recorded in Industrial Pumps business unit, attribut-
able to deliveries pump-based solutions with several large infrastructure contracts 
for the Group’s key clients, primarily Rosneft and Transneft. Revenue from Modular 
equipment  business  unit  and  EPC  divisions  has  also  shown  solid  growth  of  39% 
and 46% respectively, reflecting strong demand for the equipment and construction 
services from major Russian oil companies. 

Sales  of  industrial  pumps  comprised  approximately  46%  of  cumulative  revenue; 
modular equipment — 25%; EPC — 27%. 

EBITDA adj grew by 86% to 3,519 mln RUR, driven by significant growth of revenues 
in all operating segments, execution new, high-margin contracts, improvements in 
operational activities and an acquisition of new, highly profitable GTNG enterprise. 

EBITDA adj margin has also improved to 15.3% in 2010 from 12.8% in 2009. EBITDA 
adj of Industrial pumps comprised 67% of cumulative EBITDA adj, modular equip-
ment and EPC — 17% and 16%, respectively. Acquisition of GTNG contributed ap-
proximately 8%  of cumulative EBITDA adj of the Company. 

Profit  for  the  period  has  greatly  improved,  from  70  mln  RUR  in  2009  to  1,581  mln 
RUR. Strong demand in favorable market conditions, timely performance of ESPO 
projects  and  reduction  of  interest  rates  were  the  primary  factors  for  profit  for  the 
period growth in 2010. Lower profit for the period for the period base in 2009, that 
resulted  from  a  significant  goodwill  write-off,  has  also  contributed  for  large  profit 
increase in 2010.  

Net debt reduced to 4,297 mln RUR from 4,573 mln RUR, down 6%, despite signifi-
cant acquisition of GTNG. The reduction reflects the Company’s strategy of main-
taining conservative leverage policy.

Information on segment’ performance 

Industrial pumps 
Industrial  pumps  segment  designs,  engineers,  manufactures,  delivers  and  installs 
industrial pumps and related products for use primarily in the oil&gas, power genera-
tion and water utility sectors, as well as in a variety of applications in other sectors. 

Revenue
Revenue  grew  to  10,712  mln  RUR,  up  70%  from  previous  year.  The  segment  en-
joyed strong demand for integrated pumping solutions primarily in oil transportation 
and  upstream.  Strong  sales  were  recorded  for  oil  transportation  pumps,  pumping 
units for water injection and pumps for oil refineries to key customers — Transneft, 
TNK-BP, Rosneft, Lukoil and Surgutneftegaz. Sales of oil transportation pumps and 
pumps for water injection in 2010 grew by 339%* and 9%*, respectively. 

Sales of customized pumps for thermal power generation applications grew by 85%*, 
compared to sales in 2009. The growth is attributable to a construction of new ther-
mal power generation stations in Russia and modernization of the existing ones. At 
the  same  time,  sales  of  pumps  for  nuclear  power  generation  decreased  by  56%*, 
compared to sales in 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to long-term cycle 
of nuclear pumps production which means that significant share of revenue from cur-
rent nuclear pumps backlog will be recognized at 2011.  

Overall sales in water utilities segment were up 37%* from previous year. Strongest 
growth was recorded in water supply and wastewater pumps (+70%*) and submers-
ible water well pumps (23.7%*). Growth was primarily attributable to a replacement of 
depreciated installed base of the pumps in Russia and a commencement of several 
government regional programs to reconstruct water treatment and supply systems, 
such as Chistaya Voda program (Clear Water), Chistiy Don (Clear Don), reconstruc-
tion of water treatment systems of Rostov region. Sales of household pumps were 
up  18.4*%,  which  reflects  growing  purchasing  power  of  end  consumers  in  light  of 
a recovery from financial crisis. 

EBITDA adj grew to 2,367 mln RUR, a growth of 134% EBITDA adj margin also rose to 
22.1% from 16.0% in 2009. Growth is primarily attributable to high-margin contracts 
for  delivery  pump  based  integrated  solutions,  as  well  as  operational  improvement 
and to recovery in the HMS Group’s key markets from the recent economic down-
turn. 

Modular equipment 
The  segment  produces  modular  pumping  stations,  automated  gas  metering  units, 
associated gas processing and transport units (AGMU), oil&gas metering units, oil, 
gas and water processing units and other equipment. In the modular equipment mar-
ket, the Company’s core segments include modular pumping stations, AGMUs and 
associated gas processing and transport units.

Sales of modular equipment segment were up 39%*, driven by strong demand from 
the major oil companies to equip new oil fields and modernize existing installed base 
of  modular  equipment.  Sales  of  water  injection  pumping  stations  and  other  large

tion, also contributed to an increase of 18%* in sales of AGMU and modular equip-
ment for associated gas transportation.

EBITDA adj decreased by 24% to 599 mln RUR, down from 786 mln RUR in 2009. 
EBITDA adj margin also decrease to 10.3% from 18.9% in 2009. The fall is primarily 
attributable to an execution of low-margin contracts, which were concluded in 2009, 
during economic downturn. Uncertainty which affected the investment plans of oil 
companies  caused  lower  demand  for  modular  equipment  and  led  to  decrease  in 
pricing terms of existing contracts, hence leading to lower EBITDA adj margin. 

EPC 
Revenues for the EPC segment in 2010 increased by 46%, to 6 135 mln RUR. The 
revenue growth is primarily attributable to an impact of GTNG acquisition and enter-
ing the market of project and design, which accounts to approximately 23% of the 
segment’s cumulative revenue. 

Revenue  growth  on  like-for-like  basis,  excluding  an  effect  of  the  acquisition,  was 
approximately 14%*, reflecting particularly a growing demand for construction ser-
vices at new and existing oil&gas fields from Rosneft, Gazpromneft and TNK-BP oil 
companies. 

EBITDA  adj  increased  significantly  in  2010,  to  550  mln  RUR  compared  to  33  mln 
RUR in 2009. EBITDA adj of newly acquired GTNG facility added 271  mln RUR to 
cumulative  EBITDA  adj  of  the  segment.  Such  a  significant  EBITDA  adj  is  primarily 
attributable to a low EBITDA adj base in 2009, caused by significant price pressure 
connected  to  investment  cutbacks  by  oil  companies.    EBITDA  adj  margin  rose  to 
9.0% from 0.8% in 2009 and EBITDA adj margin of GTNG was 20%  and EBITDA adj 
margin of other EPC business — 5.9% , which is slightly less than before economic 
downturn.

Key customers

Client base distribution by revenue
HMS Group views the long term relationships with its customers as fundamental to 
the Company’s business. The Company strives to create close partnerships with its 
customers that create mutual business value. The majority of the Company’s busi-
ness is built on these long term relations. However, HMS Group is always open to the 
new opportunities that will help to diversify Company’s customer base. 

The  5  biggest  clients  are  accounted  for  55%  of  revenues  and  45%  of  revenue  is 
generated  by  more  than  4  thousand  other  clients  allowing  the  Company  to  have 
diversified client base.

 Limitations on the conversion of Roubles to hard currency in Russia or the devalu-
ation of the Rouble could increase the Group’s costs when paying dividends to its 
shareholders in the future and making payments in hard currency to suppliers and 
creditors, which could cause the Group to default on its obligations to them.
 The Group’s backlog estimates are not an indication of potential revenues. Actual 
revenues and other measures of financial performance under IFRS may differ ma-
terially  from  any  estimate  of  backlog,  and  changes  in  backlog  between  periods 
may have limited or no correlation to changes in revenue or any other measure of 
financial performance under IFRS.
 Investors in the Offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net 
tangible book value per Ordinary Share.

and plans to expand into, it may not be able to identify suitable targets or may have 
difficulties in negotiating favourable acquisition terms.
 The Group has acquired and may continue to acquire businesses or assets on the 
basis of limited financial and other information, which may result in the Group as-
suming unexpected or unforeseen liabilities and obligations.
 The  Group  may  have  difficulty  integrating  its  acquisitions  or  the  Group  may  not 
realise the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions.
 The assumptions underlying the Group’s growth strategy may prove to be incorrect.
 The history and composition of the Russian manufacturing and EPC market make 
data collection and comparison difficult and such data may be incomplete and/or 
subject to error.

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Report of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors presents its report together with the audited consolidated fi-
nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. The Group’s consolidated 
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and the requirements 
of Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.

Principal activities
The principal activity of the Group is pump manufacture and providing of flow control 
solutions and related services to the oil and gas, nuclear and thermal power genera-
tion and water utility sectors in Russia and the CIS.

Review of developments, position and performance of the Group’s business
In 2010, revenue grew by 56% to RR 23,070 million, including RR 1,381 million of rev-
enue from acquired Giprotyumenneftegaz OJSC (“GTNG”). Organic revenue growth 
excluding impact from GTNG acquisition was 47%. The strongest growth related to 
Industrial pumps segment. Revenue of Modular equipment and EPC segments has 
also shown solid growth, reflecting strong demand for the equipment and construc-
tion services from major Russian oil companies.

EBITDA grew by 86% to RR 3,519 million, driven by significant growth of revenues 
in  all  operating  segments,  focus  on  new,  high-margin  contracts  and  acquisition  of 
GTNG. EBITDA margin has also improved to 15.3% in 2010 from 12.8% in 2009.

Net  profit  has  greatly  improved,  from  RR  70  million  in  2009  to  RR  1,581  million  in 
2010.  Strong  demand  in  favorable  market  conditions  and  improvements  in  opera-
tional activities were the primary factors for net profit growth in 2010.   

Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group’s critical accounting estimates and judgments and financial risk manage-
ment are disclosed in Notes 4 and 36 to the consolidated financial statements.

The  Group’s  contingencies  are  disclosed  in  Note  34  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.

risks faced by the Group.

Future developments
The Board of Directors does not expect any significant changes in the activities of 
the  Group  in  the  foreseeable  future.  The  Group’s  strategic  objective  is  to  achieve 
continued organic growth by focusing on its higher margin integrated and highly en-
gineered solutions, capitalising on positive industry trends and improving its overall 
operational efficiency. The Group also intends to enhance its research and develop-
ment capabilities leveraging the experience and knowledge base of its existing teams 
to develop upgrades and new solutions, as well as more energy efficient pumps. In 
addition, the Group will continue to pursue selective, value-enhancing acquisitions 
which enable it to enter attractive new markets, provide access to complementary 
technology and research and development facilities and which offer cost and rev-
enue synergies with its existing businesses.

Results
The Group’s results for the year are set out on page 14a of the consolidated financial 
statements.

Dividends
Pursuant  to  its  Articles  of  Association,  the  Company  may  pay  dividends  out  of  its 
profits.  To  the  extent  that  the  Company  declares  and  pays  dividends,  owners  of 
global depository receipts (GDRs) on the relevant record date will be entitled to re-
ceive dividends payable in respect of Ordinary Shares underlying the GDRs, subject 
to the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

The Company is a holding company and thus its ability to pay dividends depends 
on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company in accordance with 
relevant legislation and contractual restrictions. The payment of such dividends by 
such subsidiaries is contingent upon the sufficiency of their earnings, cash flows and 
distributable reserves and, in the case of Russian subsidiaries, is restricted to the 
total accumulated retained earnings of the relevant subsidiary, determined according 
to Russian law.

As  a  newly  incorporated  company,  the  Company  has  not  previously  declared  any 
cash dividends on its share capital. The Board of Directors does not recommend any 
payment of cash dividends in respect of the year ended 31 December 2010.

Share capital
The  Company  was  incorporated  under  the  name  of  Bishopstow  Holdings  plc  on 
27 April 2010 as a public limited company with an authorised share capital of EUR 
26,000 (RR 1,010 thousand) divided into 26,000 ordinary shares of EUR 1 each. On 
7  June  2010,  pursuant  to  the  unanimous  written  resolution  of  the  general  meeting 
of the Company, the existing authorised share capital of EUR 26,000, divided into 
26,000  ordinary  shares  of  EUR  1  each,  was  subdivided  into  2,600,000  ordinary 
shares of EUR 0.01 each.

On 18 June 2010, pursuant to the unanimous written resolution of the general meet-
ing of the Company, it was decided to change the name of the Company from Bish-
opstow Holdings Plc to H.M.S. HYDRAULIC MACHINES & SYSTEMS GROUP PUB-
LIC CO. LIMITED. The name was approved by the Registrar of Companies of Cyprus 
on 29 June 2010.

On  28  September  2010,  pursuant  to  the  unanimous  written  resolution  of  the  gen-
eral meeting of the Company the authorised share capital was increased from EUR

share capital as fully paid at a price of USD 8.25. In the context of the Offering, the

million  and  the  Company’s  transaction  costs  amounted  to  approximately  RR  211

ing its share capital. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (nor any party 
on its behalf) holds any of its ordinary shares.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any outstanding convertible se-
curities, exchangeable securities or securities with warrants or any relevant acquisi-
tion rights or obligations over the Company’s or either of the subsidiaries’ authorised 
but unissued capital or undertakings to increase its issued share capital.

ed), to the extent not disapplied by shareholders’ resolution, confer on shareholders

rata  basis.  None  of  the  Company’s  shares  are  currently  in  issue  with  a  fixed  date 
on  which  entitlement  to  a  dividend  arises  and  there  are  no  arrangements  in  force 
whereby future dividends are waived or agreed to be waived.

The role of the Board of Directors

tives and ensures that the necessary resources are in place to enable these objec-
tives to be met. The Board is fully involved in decision making in the most important 
areas of business and conducts regular reviews of the Group’s operational and finan-
cial performance. One of the Board’s key responsibilities is to ensure that there is in 
place a system of prudent and effective risk controls that enable risks to be identi-
fied, assessed and managed appropriately

The  Group  has  established  two  committees:  the  Audit  Committee  and  the  Remu-
neration Committee. A brief description of the terms of reference of the committees 
is set out below.

Audit Committee. The audit committee comprises three directors, two of whom are 
independent, and expects to meet at least four times each year. Currently the audit 
committee is chaired by Philippe Delpal and the other members are Gary S. Yama-
moto  and  Vladimir  V.  Lukyanenko.  The  audit  committee  is  responsible  for  consid-
ering,  amongst  other  matters:  (i)  the  integrity  of  the  Group’s  financial  statements, 
including  its  annual  and  interim  financial  statements,  and  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Group’s internal controls and risk management systems; (ii) auditors’ reports; and (iii) 
the terms of appointment and remuneration of the auditor. The committee supervises 
and monitors, and advises the Board of Directors on, risk management and control 
systems and the implementation of codes of conduct. In addition, the audit commit-
tee supervises the submission by the Group of financial information and a number 
of other audit-related issues and assesses the efficiency of work of the Chairman of 
the Board of Directors.

Remuneration  Committee.  The  remuneration  committee  comprises  four  directors 
and expects to meet at least once each year. Currently the remuneration committee 
is chaired by Gary S. Yamamoto, an independent director, and Vladimir V. Lukyanen-
ko and Yury N. Skrynnik and German Tsoy are members. The remuneration commit-
tee is responsible for determining and reviewing, amongst other matters, the Group’s 
remuneration policies. The remuneration of independent directors is a matter for the 
chairman of the Board of Directors and the executive directors. No director or man-
ager may be involved in any decisions as to his/her own remuneration.

appointment of independent directors, establishment and constitution of the audit 
and remuneration committees, ethical conduct, securities dealings and disclosure.

pany during the year ended 31 December 2010. The remuneration received by the

financial statements based on the fact that, after making enquiries and following a re-
view of the Group’s budget for 2010, including cash flows and borrowing facilities, the 
Directors consider that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation 
for the foreseeable future.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members of HMS Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group Plc

Report on the consolidated financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of HMS Hy-
draulic Machines & Systems Group Pic (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, which 
comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, 
and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 
cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies 
and other explanatory information.

Board of Directors’responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial 
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting  Standards  as  adopted  by  the  European  Union  and  the  requirements  of 
the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of 
Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  state-
ments based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International 
Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical require-
ments and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the 
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts 
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected 
depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. 
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to 
the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair 
view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s 
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of 
Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial 
statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

1. General Information

HMS Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group plc (the “Company”) was incorporated in 
Cyprus on 27 April 2010 and registered at 2-4 Arch. Makarios III Avenue, 1065 Nico-
sia, Cyprus, under the name of Bishopstow Holdings plc, with a start share capital of 
EUR 26 thousand (RR 1,010). In June 2010, the Company was acquired by a group of 
individuals who were shareholders of Open Joint Stock Company HMS Group (“HMS 
Group OJSC”), and renamed H.M.S. HYDRAULIC MACHINES & SYSTEMS GROUP 
PUBLIC CO. LIMITED. Since the date of incorporation and up to the legal acquisition 
of HMS Group (see below), the Company did not have any activities. On 3 January 
2011, the Company was renamed HMS Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group plc.

The principal business activities of HMS Group OJSC and its subsidiaries (the “HMS 
Group”) are the manufacture of a wide range of pumps and pumping units, manufac-
turing and repairing of modular equipment, including oil and gas equipment, engi-
neering and construction services mainly for oil and gas companies. These products 
and services are sold both in the Russian Federation and abroad. HMS Group OJSC 
is incorporated and domiciled in the Russian Federation. The address of its regis-
tered office is Chayanova St. 7, 125047 Moscow. The HMS Group’s manufacturing 
facilities are primarily located in Orel, Vladimir, Tomsk and Tumen regions of the Rus-
sian Federation, Sumy in Ukraine and Minsk in Belorussia.

The parent company of HMS Group OJSC is HMS-Holding LLC which till September 
2010 was jointly controlled by Hydroindustry LLC and Hydromashinvest LLC. In ac-
cordance  with  the  charter  of  HMS-Holding  LLC,    Hydroindustry  LLC  had  the  right 
to  appoint  the  executive  body  of  HMS-Holding  LLC  and  its  subsidiaries  (including 
HMS Group OJSC) and Hydromashinvest LLC had the right to appoint the checkup 
committee of HMS-Holding LLC and its subsidiaries (including HMS Group OJSC).

In September 2010, the shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC, Hydromashinvest LLC 
and  other  entities  owning  shares  of  HMS-Holding  LLC  and  of  HMS  Group  OJSC 
signed a restructuring agreement. Under this agreement, the shares of those share-
holders in the entities, holding shares in HMS-Holding LLC and direct shares in HMS 
Group OJSC, were contributed into the share capital of the Company in exchange for 
newly issued shares (Note 24), so that their shares in this new parent company reflect 
their respective effective shares in HMS-Holding LLC and in HMS Group OJSC be-
fore the restructuring. The shareholders’ rig hts in respect of the Group’s governance 
and control were contractually retained during the restructuring period.

In December 2010, the shareholders of the Company signed a shareholders’ agree-
ment, prescribing them till 31 January 2011 to contribute their shares in the Company 
into  the  share  capital  of  a  private  Cyprus  entity  named  H.M.S.  Technologies  Ltd. 
(“HMST”). In accordance with this agreement, upon the contribution of shares, oc-
curred in steps in January and February 2011, the group of shareholders comprising 
former shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC obtained the right to appoint all members 
of the Boards of Directors of HMST  and of  the  Company,  other  than  one  director, 
and the group of shareholders comprising former shareholders of Hydromashinvest 
LLC obtained the right to appoint one director to the Boards of Directors of HMST 
and of the Company, who oversees the control and revision function. Consequently, 
the group of shareholders comprising former shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC ob-
tained control over the Company (see Note 37). At 31 December 2010, this group of 
shareholders consisted of Mr. Tsoy G.A., Mr. Molchanov A.V., Mr. Molchanov K.V., Mr. 
Khromov V.V., Mr. Frolov A.V. and Mr. Borovko A.A.

The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries,  over  which  the  Company  obtained  control  as 
a result of restructuring procedures, described above, are together referred to as the 
Group.

2.  Operating Environment 

of the Group

The Russian Federation displays certain characteristics of an emerging market, in-
cluding relatively high inflation and high interest rates. The recent global financial cri-
sis has had a severe effect on the Russian economy and the financial situation in the 
Russian financial and corporate sectors significantly deteriorated since mid-2008. In 
2010, the Russian economy experienced a moderate recovery of economic growth. 
The recovery was accompanied by a gradual increase of household incomes, lower 
refinancing rates, stabilisation of the exchange rate of the Russian Rouble against 
major foreign currencies, and increased liquidity levels in the banking sector. 

The tax, currency and customs legislation within the Russian Federation is subject to 
varying interpretations and frequent changes. The future economic direction of the 
Russian Federation is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of economic, finan-
cial and monetary measures undertaken by the Government, together with tax, legal, 
regulatory and political developments.

Management is unable to predict all developments which could have an impact on 
the Russian economy and consequently what effect, if any, they could have on the 
future financial position of the Group. Management believes it is taking all the neces-
sary measures to support the sustainability and development of the Group’s busi-
ness.

3.  Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies 

Basis of preparation
These  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2010 
have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(“IFRS”), as adopted by the European Union, under the historical cost convention as 
modified by initial recognition of financial instruments based on fair value. The prin-
cipal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial 
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all 
the periods presented.

As  described  in  Note  1,  during  2010,  the  parent  company  of  HMS  Group  has 
changed  from  HMS  Group  OJSC  to  HMS  Hydraulic  Machines  &  Systems  Group 
plc. The IFRS consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2010 has been prepared 
using a predecessor accounting method. The assets and liabilities of HMS Group’s 
subsidiaries were recorded in these consolidated financial statements at their pre-
restructuring IFRS carrying amounts. The share capital and share premium are pre-
sented to provide useful information to the users of the financial statement about 
the share capital of the new parent using the predecessor basis as of 1 January 
2009. The difference between the predecessor value of share capital and the value 
of the Company’s share capital and share premium was recorded as an adjustment 
in retained earnings. Also, the difference between the predecessor value of other 
reserves and the value of other reserves of the restructured Group was recorded 
as an adjustment in retained earnings.

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Consolidated financial statements
These  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  financial  statements  of 
the  Company  and  entities  controlled  by  the  Company  (its  subsidiaries).  Control  is 
achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating 
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisi-
tion and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries 
to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the 
Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on 
consolidation. 

Non-controlling  interests  in  subsidiaries  are  identified  separately  from  the  Group’s 
equity  therein.  The  interests  of  non-controlling  shareholders  may  be  initially  mea-
sured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of 
the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement 
basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the 
carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial 
recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in eq-
uity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this 
results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control 
are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s in-
terests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their 
relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which 
the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid 
or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Group.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is cal-
culated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consider-
ation received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying 
amount  of  the  assets  (including  goodwill),  and  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary  and  any 
non-controlling  interests.  Amounts  previously  recognised  in  other  comprehensive 
income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss 
or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required 
if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investment 
retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the 
fair  value  on  initial  recognition  for  subsequent  accounting  under  IAS  39  “Financial 
Instruments: recognition and measurement” or, when applicable, the cost on initial 
recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition 
method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the 
fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, 
and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. 
Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

22a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liabil-
ity  resulting  from  a  contingent  consideration  arrangement,  measured  at  its  acqui-
sition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent  changes  in  such  fair  values,  other  than  equity-
related contingent consideration, are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where 
they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent 
changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability 
are accounted for in accordance with relevant IFRS. 

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held in-
terests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. 
the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised 
in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisi-
tion date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are 
reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that inter-
est were disposed of.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the 
conditions  for  recognition under IFRS 3(R)  are  recognised at their fair  value at  the 
acquisition date, except that:

 Deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit ar-
rangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 “Income taxes” 
and IAS 19 “Employee benefits” respectively;

 Liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an ac-
quiree’s  share-based  payment  awards  are  measured  in  accordance  with  IFRS  2 
“Share-based payment”; 

 Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 
“Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” are measured in ac-
cordance with that Standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the 
reporting  period  in  which  the  combination  occurs,  the  Group  reports  provisional 
amounts  for  the  items  for  which  the  accounting  is  incomplete.  Those  provisional 
amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional as-
sets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and 
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have af-
fected the amounts recognised as of that date. The measurement period is the pe-
riod from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information 
about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject 
to a maximum of one year.

When acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, the Group allocates the 
cost of such acquisition between the individual identifiable assets and liabilities ac-
quired based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Such transactions 
or events do not give rise to goodwill.

Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that 
control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the 
sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in 
the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable as-
sets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

23a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifi-
able net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously 
held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in 
profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Group 
tests goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications 
that  goodwill  may  be  impaired.  Goodwill  is  allocated  to  the  cash-generating  units 
(“CGUs”), or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the 
synergies of the business combination. Such units or groups of units represent the 
lowest level at which the Group monitors goodwill and are not larger than an operat-
ing segment. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its 
carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount 
of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata 
on  the  basis  of  the  carrying  amount  of  each  asset  in  the  unit.  An  impairment  loss 
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On  disposal  of  a  subsidiary,  the  attributable  amount  of  goodwill  is  included  in  the 
determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Associates 
An  associate  is  an  entity  over  which  the  Group  has  significant  influence  and  that 
is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the 
power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but 
is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consoli-
dated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the 
investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accor-
dance with IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”. 
Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated 
statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the 
Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of 
individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in 
that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part 
of the Group’s net investment in the associate) are recognised only to the extent that 
the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf 
of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of 
the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised 
at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within 
the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that 
investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassess-
ment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are 
eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Functional and presentation currency
Functional currency of each of the Group’s consolidated entities is the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional curren-
cies of the Group’s subsidiaries and associates are Russian Roubles (“RR”), Ukraini-
an Hryvnas (“UAH”), and Belorussian Roubles (“BYR”); and the Group’s presentation 
currency is the national currency of the Russian Federation, Russian Roubles.

Monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into 
each entity’s functional currency at the official exchange rate of the Central Bank of 
the Russian Federation (hereinafter “CBRF”) at the respective statement of financial 
position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of the 
transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities into each entity’s 
functional currency at year-end official exchange rates of the CBRF are recognised in 
profit or loss.

The results and financial position of all of the Group entities (none of which has the cur-
rency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from 
the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are trans-
lated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; 

 income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average 
is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on 
the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate 
on the dates of the transactions); 

 all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  the  net  in-
vestment  in  foreign  operations,  are  taken  to  other  comprehensive  income.  When 
a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were 
recorded in other comprehensive income are recognised in the profit or loss as part 
of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are 
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

At 31 December 2010 and 2009, the principal rates of exchange used for translating 
foreign currency balances were: 

2010

3.8283

Current and non-current assets and liabilities
The classification of an asset or liability as a current or non-current asset or liability 
in general depends on whether the item is related to serial production or subject to 
long-term  construction  contracts.  In  case  of  serial  production,  an  asset  or  liability 
is  classified  as  a  non-current  asset  or  liability  when  the  item  is  realised  or  settled 
respectively  after  twelve  months  after  the  reporting  date,  and  as  current  asset  or 

1 USD = RR
1 UAH = RR
1 BYR = RR

25a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

liability when the item is realised or settled respectively within twelve months after 
the reporting date. In case of construction contracts, an asset or liability is classified 
as non-current when the item is realised or settled respectively beyond the Group’s 
normal operating cycle; and as a current asset or liability when the item is realised 
or settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle. Accordingly, there are amounts due 
to/due from customers under construction contracts, inventories, advances to sup-
pliers and subcontractors, which may not be realised within twelve months after the 
reporting date, that have been classified as current.

Property, plant and equipment 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historic acquisition or construction cost 
less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, where required. 

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as 
a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic ben-
efits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured  reliably.  The  carrying  amount  of  any  replaced  part  is  derecognised.  All 
other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial pe-
riod in which they are incurred.

At each reporting date management assesses whether there is any indication of impair-
ment of property, plant and equipment. If any such indication exists, the management 
estimates the recoverable amount, which is determined as the higher of an asset’s fair 
value less costs to sell and its value in use. The carrying amount is reduced to the re-
coverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment 
loss recognised for an asset in prior years is reversed if there has been a change in the 
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals de-
termined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount are recognised in profit or loss. 

Depreciation
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other items of property, plant and equip-
ment  is  calculated  using  the  straight-line  method  to  allocate  their  cost  to  their  re-
sidual values over their estimated useful lives:

Years

2-80
5-30
5-15
3-7

The  residual  value  of  an  asset  is  the  estimated  amount  that  the  Group  would  cur-
rently obtain from disposal of the asset less the estimated costs of disposal, if the 
asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful 
life. The residual value of an asset is nil if the Group expects to use the asset until the 
end of its physical life. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and 
adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Other intangible assets
The Group’s intangible assets other than goodwill have definite useful lives and pri-
marily include capitalised computer software, patents, trademarks and licences. 

Buildings 
Plant and equipment
Transport
Other

Acquired computer software licences, patents and trademarks are capitalised on the 
basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring them to use.

Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives:

Years

5-20
1-18
1-7
2-5
5-10
2-10

If impaired, the carrying amount of intangible assets is written down to the higher of 
value in use and fair value less costs to sell.

Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified in the consolidated statement 
of financial position as non-current assets held for sale if their carrying amount will 
be  recovered  principally  through  a  sale  transaction  rather  than  through  continuing 
use.  This  condition  is  regarded  as  met  only  when  the  sale  is  highly  probable  and 
the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. 
Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for 
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Non-
current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the 
lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Financial assets
All financial assets of the Group fall into one measurement category: loans and re-
ceivables. 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable 
payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current as-
sets,  except  for  maturities  greater  than  12  months  after  the  statement  of  financial 
position  date,  which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.  The  Group’s  loans  and 
receivables comprise trade and other receivables, other long-term receivables and 
cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.

The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were ac-
quired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial rec-
ognition.

Trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at 
fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method,  less  provision  for  impairment.  A  provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receiv-
ables is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to 
collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant 
financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or 
financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indi-
cators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the differ-
ence between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future 
cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of 
the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of 
the loss is recognised in profit or loss within ‘general and administrative expenses’. 
When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance ac-
count for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off 
are credited against ‘general and administrative expenses’ in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, de-
posits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with 
original maturities of three months or less or deposits with original maturity of more 
than three month which could be withdrawn on demand. Restricted balances are 
excluded from cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash 
flows. Balances restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at 
least twelve months after the statement of financial position date are included in 
other non-current assets.

Derecognition of financial assets. The Group derecognises financial assets when (a) 
the assets are redeemed or the rights to cash flows from the assets otherwise expire 
or (b) the Group has transferred the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets 
or entered into a qualifying pass-through arrangement while (i) also transferring sub-
stantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets or (ii) neither transfer-
ring nor retaining substantially all risks and rewards of ownership but not retaining 
control. Control is retained if the counterparty does not have the practical ability to 
sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party without needing to impose ad-
ditional restrictions on the sale.

Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities of the Group fall into one measurement category: other financial 
liabilities, which include trade and other payables, borrowings and finance lease li-
abilities.

Trade and other payables. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair 
value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest 
method.

Borrowings.  Borrowings  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest 
method. 

Capitalisation of borrowing costs. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acqui-
sition, 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.

28a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues up to the date when the assets are sub-
stantially 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 cal-
culated 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 tempo-
rary investment of those borrowings are capitalised.

Derecognition  of  financial  liabilities.  The  Group  derecognises  financial  liabilities 
when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they ex-
pire.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventory 
is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and 
work in progress comprises raw material, direct labour, other direct costs and related 
production overheads (based on normal operating capacity), borrowing costs. Net 
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less 
the cost of completion and selling expenses.

Advances issued
Advances issued are carried at cost less provision for impairment. An advance is-
sued is classified as non-current when the goods or services relating to the advance 
issued are expected to be obtained after one year, or when the advance issued re-
lates to an asset which will itself be classified as non-current upon initial recognition. 
If  there  is  an  indication  that  the  assets,  goods  or  services  relating  to  an  advance 
issued will not be received, the carrying value of the advance issued is written down 
accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

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.

Finance lease liabilities
Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which transfers 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 interest cost is 
charged to the 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.

Income taxes
The  current  income  tax  charge  is  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the  tax  laws  enacted 
or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date in the countries 
where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable in-
come, primarily the Russian legislation. The income tax charge/credit comprises cur-
rent tax and deferred tax and is recognised in the profit or loss unless it relates to 
transactions that are recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. 

Current  tax  is  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  to  or  recovered  from  the  taxation 
authorities in respect of taxable profits or losses for the current and prior periods. 
Taxes, other than on income, are recorded within operating expenses.

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss 
carry forwards and temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. In accordance 
with the initial recognition exemption, deferred taxes are not recorded for temporary 
differences on initial recognition of an asset or a  liability  in  a  transaction other  than 
a business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither ac-
counting nor taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are not recorded for temporary dif-
ferences on initial recognition of goodwill and subsequently for goodwill which is not 
deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted 
or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date which are expected 
to apply to the period when the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry 
forwards will be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted only within the 
individual companies of the Group. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary dif-
ferences and tax loss carry forwards are recorded only to the extent that it is probable 
that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductions can be utilised. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  on  temporary  differences  arising  on  investments 
in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference 
is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Value added tax 
Output value added tax related to sales is payable to tax authorities on the earlier 
of  (a)  collection  of  the  receivables  from  customers  or  (b)  delivery  of  the  goods  or 
services to customers. Input VAT is generally recoverable against output VAT upon 
receipt of the VAT invoice. The tax authorities permit the settlement of VAT on a net 
basis. VAT related to sales and purchases is recognised in the statement of financial 
position on a gross basis and disclosed separately as an asset and liability. Where 
provision  has  been  made  for  impairment  of  receivables,  an  impairment  loss  is  re-
corded for the gross amount receivable, including VAT.

Provisions for liabilities and charges
Provisions, including provisions for environmental liabilities and asset retirement ob-
ligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obliga-
tion as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be 
required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. 
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will 
be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as 

30a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect 
to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Where the 
Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance con-
tract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reim-
bursement is virtually certain.

Uncertain tax positions 
Management assesses, based on its interpretation of the relevant tax legislation, that 
it is probable that certain tax positions taken by the Group would not be sustained, 
if challenged by the tax authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of 
law tax that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting 
period  and  any  know  court  or  other  rulings  on  such  issues.  Liability  for  penalties, 
interest and taxes other than on income is recognised based on management’s best 
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the end of the report-
ing period.

Pension and other post-employment benefits
Group companies operate unfunded post-employment benefits plans. Typically, de-
fined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive 
on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of ser-
vice and compensation. 

The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined 
benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the 
statement of financial position date less the fair value of any plan assets, together 
with  adjustments  for  unrecognised  past  service  costs.  The  defined  benefit  obli-
gation  is  calculated  annually  by  independent  actuaries  using  the  projected  unit 
credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by 
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality 
corporate  bonds  that  have  terms  to  maturity  approximating  to  the  terms  of  the 
related pension liability. 

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the profit or loss as they arise.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit and loss, unless changes to 
the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a speci-
fied period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amor-
tised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

Short-term employee benefits
Wages,  salaries,  contributions  to  the  state  pension,  medical  and  social  insurance 
funds, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits (such 
as health services and kindergarten services) are accrued in the year in which the 
associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group and are included 
within labour costs in operating expenses.

Share capital
Ordinary shares and non-redeemable preference shares with discretionary dividends 
are both classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of 
new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Any 
excess of the fair value of consideration received over the par value of shares issued 
is presented as a share premium in equity. 

31a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity at the statement 
of  financial  position  date  only  if  they  are  declared  before  or  on  the  statement  of 
financial position date. Dividends are disclosed when they are proposed before the 
statement of financial position date or proposed or declared after the statement of 
financial position date but before the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the 
sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue 
is shown net of value-added tax, returns and discounts and after eliminating sales 
within the Group. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can 
be reliably measured, risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been trans-
ferred and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. Sales of 
services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, 
by reference to stage of completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis 
of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest 
method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its 
recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original 
effective  interest  rate  of  the  instrument,  and  continues  unwinding  the  discount  as 
interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original 
effective interest rate.

Construction contracts
Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. 

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract 
revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to 
be recoverable. 

When  the  outcome  of  a  construction  contract  can  be  estimated  reliably  and  it  is 
probable that the contract will be profitable, contract revenue is recognised over the 
period of the contract. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total 
contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract 
revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable 
of being reliably measured.

The Group uses the ‘percentage-of-completion’ method to determine the appropri-
ate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by 
reference to the contract costs incurred up to the statement of financial position date 
as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. Costs incurred in the year 
in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in 
determining  the  stage  of  completion.  They  are  presented  as  inventories,  prepay-
ments or other assets, depending on their nature.

The Group presents as an asset the gross amount due from customers for contract 
work for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognised profits 

32a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

(less recognised losses) exceed progress billings. Progress billings not yet paid by 
customers and retentions are included within trade accounts receivable.

The  Group  presents  as  a  liability  the  gross  amount  due  to  customers  for  contract 
work for all contracts in progress for which progress billings exceed costs incurred 
plus recognised profits (less recognised losses).

Earnings per share
Earnings per share are determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to own-
ers  of  the  Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  participating  shares  out-
standing during the reporting year.

Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the state-
ment of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the 
recognised amounts, and there is an intention to either settle on a net basis, or to 
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting 
provided to the Group’s chief operating decision maker. Segments with revenue, re-
sult or assets exceeding ten percent of the respective total amount for all segments 
are reported separately.

Changes in presentation
Where necessary, corresponding figures have been adjusted to conform to the pre-
sentation of the current year amounts.

4.  Critical Accounting Estimates 
and Judgments in Applying 
Accounting Policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. Estimates and judgements are 
continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, 
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those in-
volving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting policies.

Judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements and estimates that can cause a significant adjust-
ment  to  the  carrying  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial  year 
include:

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

(a)  Agreements  for  construction  and  delivery  of  pumping  units  for  Purpe-Samotlor 

and Eastern Siberia Pacific Ocean oil pipelines

During the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group entered into a number of agree-
ments for construction and delivery of oil-trunk pumping units and spare parts for the 
oil pipelines Purpe-Samotlor and Eastern Siberia Pacific Ocean, which are constructed 
to provide export of crude oil from Russia to the Asian Pacific markets, including Ja-
pan, China and Korea. Pumping units, which will be combined in pumping stations, 
constructed  under  these  agreements,  represent  complex  highly  customised  equip-
ment consisting of unique components and parts. Under these agreements, the Group 
will also perform supervision of pumping units installation and pumping stations start-
up process. Total budgeted revenue for these contracts at 31 December 2010 exceeds 
RR 12 billion. The contracts are expected to be executed during 2010-2013.

The  Group  applied  percentage  of  completion  method  to  the  accounting  for  these 
contracts.  Revenue  for  these  contracts  is  recognised  as  the  production  and  con-
struction work progresses. In determining the stage of completion, the Group also 
considers work performed by subcontractors, involved by the Group into these proj-
ects.

Method  of  accounting  used  for  these  contracts  places  considerable  importance  on 
accurate estimates at completion as well as on the extent of progress towards com-
pletion.  For  the  determination  of  the  progress  of  the  respective  contract  significant 
estimates  include  total  contract  costs,  remaining  cost  to  completion,  contract  risks 
and  other  judgments.  Management  of  the  respective  operating  divisions  continually 
reviews all estimates involved in such construction contracts and adjusts them as nec-
essary.
In accordance with Russian Civil Code and the terms of the respective agreements, 
in  certain  circumstances  and  where  supply  terms  are  not  adhered  to,  the  Group 
may be subject to penalties or rejection by the customer to accept the equipment. 
Management assesses such risk as remote and does not expect such conditions to 
result in a loss to the Group.

Provisions for warranty corresponding to sale of pumping units and spare parts are 
recorded to reflect the underlying risk to the Group in respect of guarantees given 
when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will 
be required to settle the obligation and reliable estimates can be made of the amount 
of the obligation.

For the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group recognised revenue in respect of 
these contracts of RR 3,494,235. This amount is included as part of revenue from 
construction contracts (Note 26). At 31 December 2010, payables due to customers 
(Note 21) include the amount of RR 5,598,531, representing net amount of advances 
received from customers of RR 9,092,766 (excluding VAT) and recognised revenue of 
RR 3,494,235, and advances paid to suppliers and subcontractors (Note 14) include 
the amount of RR 3,299,726 (including VAT), related to these contracts.

In  accordance  with  internal  management  reports,  which  form  the  basis  for  the 
Group’s segment reporting, these contracts relate to Industrial pumps segment.

34a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

(b)  Assessment  of  construction  revenue  and  receivables  related  to  construction 

contracts

Under IAS 11, construction revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable. The amount of revenue and estimates should be revised as 
events occur and any uncertainties are resolved.

A variation is included in contract revenue when: it is probable that the customer will 
approve the variation and the amount of revenue arising from the variation; and the 
amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Because of the frequency and large 
number of disputes that arise on construction contracts and the length of time over 
which negotiations may stretch, the Group takes variations and claims into account 
only  when  they  have  actually  been  approved  by  the  customer.  In  2010,  the  Group 
recognised RR 121,532 of construction revenue based on the written confirmation by 
the customer to sign off the additional agreement to existing construction contract.

In addition, receivables related to construction contracts are subject to credit risk. In 
other words, although some revenue continues to be contractually bound, the cus-
tomer can still refuse to pay or to pay in time. Where revenue has been validly recog-
nised on a contract, but an uncertainty subsequently arises about the recoverability 
of the related amount due from the customer, any provision against the amount due 
is recognised as an expense.

(c) Presentation of inventory/net payable or receivable on construction contracts

The Group’s construction contracts include substantial amounts of materials bought 
from customers and subsequently re-invoiced to customers together with the cost of 
construction services provided. Final settlements are usually made through offset-
ting the payables for these materials and related receivables and paying the resulting 
balance. The Group bears all risks and rewards on buying and using these materials. 
Therefore, management decided that revenues and costs related to these materials 
are to be recognised and presented in the profit or loss for the period on a gross 
basis and the inventories/net payable or receivable in the statement of financial posi-
tion.

(d) Assessment of useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The estimation of the useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment is a mat-
ter of judgment based on the experience with similar assets. The future economic 
benefits  embodied  in  the  assets  are  consumed  principally  through  use.  However, 
other  factors,  such  as  technical  or  commercial  obsolescence  and  wear  and  tear, 
often result in the diminution of the economic benefits embodied in the assets. Man-
agement assesses the remaining useful lives in accordance with the current technical 
conditions of the assets and estimated period during which the assets are expected 
to earn benefits for the Group. The following primary factors are considered: (a) ex-
pected usage of the assets; (b) expected physical wear and tear, which depends on 
operational  factors  and  maintenance  programme;  and  (h)  technical  or  commercial 
obsolescence arising from changes in market conditions.

If the management’s estimates on useful lives differ by 10%, the impact on depre-
ciation for the year ended 31 December 2010 would be either increase or decrease 
by RR 36,115 (2009: RR 32,297).

(e) Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill

35a

 
Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

At 31 December 2010, the Group performed an impairment test of certain cash gen-
erating units. The recoverable amount of each CGU was determined based on value-
in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial 
budgets approved by management covering 5 years. The growth rates do not exceed 
the long-term average growth rate for the business sector of the economy in which 
the CGU operates. The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflects specific risks relat-
ing to the relevant CGUs. As a result of this test, the Group recognised an impairment 
of property, plant and equipment of HMS Household Pumps OJSC in amount of RR 
19,288 (Note 7).

(f) Provision for pension obligations

The principal assumptions used in valuation of pension obligations are the discount 
rates used in determining the present value of post employment benefits, expected 
rate  of  return  on  plan  assets,  salaries  at  retirement  for  post-employment  defined 
benefit  plan  (Note  19).  The  Group’s  estimates  for  pension  obligations  provisions 
are based on currently available information. Actual results may differ from the es-
timates,  and  the  Group’s  estimates  can  be  revised  in  the  future,  either  negatively 
or positively. Provisions for pension obligations are periodically adjusted based on 
updated actuarial assumptions.

(g) Tax legislation 

Tax, currency and customs legislation of those jurisdictions, where the Group com-
panies operate, is subject to varying interpretations. Refer to Note 34.

(h) Related party transactions

In the normal course of business the Group enters into transactions with its related 
parties. IAS 39 requires initial recognition of financial instruments based on their fair 
values. Judgement is applied in determining if transactions are priced at market or 
non-market interest rates, where there is no active market for such transactions. The 
basis for such judgement is pricing for similar types of transactions with unrelated 
parties and effective interest rate analysis. Refer to Note 33.

(i) Deferred income tax asset recognition

The recognised deferred tax asset represents income taxes recoverable through fu-
ture  deductions  from  taxable  profits  and  is  recorded  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position. Deferred income tax assets are recorded to the extent that realisation of 
the related tax benefit is probable. The future taxable profits and the amount of tax 
benefits  that  are  probable  in  the  future  are  based  on  medium  term  business  plan 
prepared by management and extrapolated results thereafter. The business plan is 
based on  management  expectations  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the 
circumstances.

5. Adoption of New or Revised

Certain  new  standards  and  interpretations  became  effective  for  the  Group  from  1 
January 2010:

IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements (IFRIC 12 as adopted by the EU is ef-
fective for annual periods beginning on or after 30 March 2009, with early adoption 
permitted). The interpretation contains guidance on applying the existing standards 
by service providers in public-to-private service concession arrangements. IFRIC 17 
is not relevant to the Group’s operations.

IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (effective for annual pe-
riods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2009;  IFRIC  15  as  adopted  by  the  EU  is  ef-
fective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  31  December  2009,  with  early  adoption 
permitted). The interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated 
expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through 
subcontractors, and provides guidance for determining whether agreements for the 
construction of real estate are within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18. It also provides 
criteria  for  determining  when  entities  should  recognise  revenue  on  such  transac-
tions. IFRIC 15 is not relevant to the Group’s operations because it does not have any 
agreements for construction of real estate.

IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective for annual pe-
riods beginning on or after 1 October 2008; IFRIC 16 as adopted by the EU is effec-
tive for annual periods beginning after 30 June 2009, with early adoption permitted). 
The interpretation explains which currency risk exposures are eligible for hedge ac-
counting and states that translation from the functional currency to the presentation 
currency does not create an exposure to which hedge accounting could be applied. 
The IFRIC allows the hedging instrument to be held by any entity or entities within 
a group except the foreign operation that itself is being hedged. The interpretation 
also clarifies how the gain or loss recycled from the currency translation reserve to 
profit or loss is calculated on disposal of the hedged foreign operation. Reporting 
entities will apply IAS 39 to discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when their 
hedges do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting in IFRIC 16. IFRIC 16 did not 
have an impact on these consolidated financial statements as the Group does not 
apply hedge accounting.

IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-Cash Assets to Owners (effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The interpretation clarifies when and how distribu-
tion of non-cash assets as dividends to the owners should be recognised. An entity 
should measure a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to its owners at 
the fair value of the assets to be distributed. A gain or loss on disposal of the distrib-
uted non-cash assets should be recognised in profit or loss when the entity settles 
the dividend payable. IFRIC 17 is not relevant to the Group’s operations because it 
does not distribute non-cash assets to owners.

IFRIC  18,  Transfers  of  Assets  from  Customers  (effective  for  annual  periods  begin-
ning on or after 1 July 2009). The interpretation clarifies the accounting for transfers 
of assets from customers, namely, the circumstances in which the definition of an 
asset is met; the recognition of the asset and the measurement of its cost on initial 
recognition;  the  identification  of  the  separately  identifiable  services  (one  or  more 
services in exchange for the transferred asset); the recognition of revenue, and the 
accounting for transfers of cash from customers. IFRIC 18 did not have any impact 
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised January 2008; ef-
fective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  July  2009).  The  revised  IAS  27 
requires an entity to attribute total comprehensive income to the owners of the par-
ent and to the non-controlling interests (previously “minority interests”) even if this 
results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance (the previous standard 
required the excess losses to be allocated to the owners of the parent in most cas-
es). The revised standard specifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in 
a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control must be accounted for as equity 
transactions. It also specifies how an entity should measure any gain or loss arising 
on the loss of control of a subsidiary. At the date when control is lost, any investment 
retained in the former subsidiary has to be measured at its fair value. The revised IAS 
27 has been applied by the Group. As a result of this application, there is no material 
impact on these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 3, Business Combinations (revised January 2008; effective for business combi-
nations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual 
reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised IFRS 3 allows entities 
to  choose  to  measure  non-controlling  interests  using  the  existing  IFRS  3  method 
(proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree’s  identifiable  net  assets)  or  at  fair  value.  The 
revised IFRS 3 is more detailed in providing guidance on the application of the pur-
chase method to business combinations. The requirement to measure at fair value 
every asset and liability at each step in a step acquisition for the purposes of calcu-
lating a portion of goodwill has been removed. Instead, in a business combination 
achieved in stages, the acquirer has to remeasure its previously held equity interest 
in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognise the resulting gain or 
loss, if any, in profit or loss for the year. Acquisition-related costs are accounted for 
separately  from  the  business  combination  and  therefore  recognised  as  expenses 
rather than included in goodwill. An acquirer has to recognise a liability for any con-
tingent purchase consideration at the acquisition date. Changes in the value of that 
liability after the acquisition date are recognised in accordance with other applicable 
IFRSs, as appropriate, rather than by adjusting goodwill. The revised IFRS 3 brings 
into  its  scope  business  combinations  involving  only  mutual  entities  and  business 
combinations achieved by contract alone. The revised IFRS 3 has been applied by 
the Group prospectively and therefore there is no impact on prior periods in these 
consolidated financial statements.

Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions – Amendments to IFRS 2, 
Share-based  Payment  (effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  Janu-
ary 2010). The amendments provide a clear basis to determine the classification of 
share-based  payment  awards  in  both  consolidated  and  separate  financial  state-
ments. The amendments incorporate into the standard the guidance in IFRIC 8 and 
IFRIC 11, which are withdrawn. The amendments expand on the guidance given in 
IFRIC 11 to address plans that were previously not considered in the interpretation. 
The  amendments  also  clarify  the  defined  terms  in  the  Appendix  to  the  standard. 
These  amendments  did  not  have  any  material  effect  on  the  Group’s  consolidated 
financial statements.

Eligible Hedged Items – Amendment to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and  Measurement  (effective  with  retrospective  application  for  annual  periods  be-
ginning  on  or  after  1  July  2009).  The  amendment  clarifies  how  the  principles  that 
determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation 
should be applied in particular situations. The amendment did not have any impact 
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group does not apply hedge 
accounting.

Embedded Derivatives - Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 (effective for annual pe-
riods ending on or after 30 June 2009; amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 as adopted 
by the EU are effective for annual periods beginning after 31 December 2009, with ear-
ly adoption permitted). The amendments clarify that on reclassification of a financial 
asset out of the ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ category, all embedded derivatives 
have to be assessed and, if necessary, separately accounted for. The amendments did 
not have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (following 
an amendment in December 2008, effective for the first IFRS financial statements for 
a period beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised IFRS 1 retains the substance 
of its previous version but within a changed structure in order to make it easier for 
the  reader  to  understand  and  to  better  accommodate  future  changes.  The  Group 
concluded  that  the  revised  standard  does  not  have  any  effect  on  its  consolidated 
financial statements.

Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters – Amendments to IFRS 1, First-time 
adoption of IFRS (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). 
The amendments exempt entities using the full cost method from retrospective ap-
plication of IFRSs for oil and gas assets and also exempt entities with existing leasing 
contracts from reassessing the classification of those contracts in accordance with 
IFRIC 4, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” when the applica-
tion of their national accounting requirements produced the same result. The amend-
ments did not have any impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (issued in April 2009; 
amendments to IFRS 2, IAS 38, IFRIC 9 and IFRIC 16 are effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 July 2009; amendments to IFRS 5, IFRS 8, IAS 1, IAS 7, IAS 
17, IAS 36 and IAS 39 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2010). The improvements consist of a mixture of substantive changes and clarifica-
tions  in  the  following  standards  and  interpretations:  clarification  that  contributions 
of  businesses  in  common  control  transactions  and  formation  of  joint  ventures  are 
not within the scope of IFRS 2; clarification of disclosure requirements set by IFRS 
5 and other standards for non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held 
for  sale  or  discontinued  operations;  requiring  to  report  a  measure  of  total  assets 
and  liabilities  for  each  reportable  segment  under  IFRS  8  only  if  such  amounts  are 
regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker; amending IAS 1 to allow 
classification of certain liabilities settled by entity’s own equity instruments as non-
current; changing IAS 7 such that only expenditures that result in a recognised asset 
are eligible for classification as investing activities; allowing classification of certain 
long-term land leases as finance leases under IAS 17 even without transfer of owner-
ship of the land at the end of the lease; providing additional guidance in IAS 18 for de-
termining whether an entity acts as a principal or an agent; clarification in IAS 36 that 
a cash generating unit shall not be larger than an operating segment before aggrega-
tion; supplementing IAS 38 regarding measurement of fair value of intangible assets 
acquired in a business combination; amending IAS 39 (i) to include in its scope op-
tion contracts that could result in business combinations, (ii) to clarify the period of 
reclassifying gains or losses on cash flow hedging instruments from equity to profit 
or loss for the year and (iii) to state that a prepayment option is closely related to the 
host contract if upon exercise the borrower reimburses economic loss of the lender; 
amending IFRIC 9 to state that embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in com-
mon control transactions and formation of joint ventures are not within its scope; and 
removing the restriction in IFRIC 16 that hedging instruments may not be held by the 
foreign operation that itself is being hedged.

In addition, the amendments clarifying classification as held for sale under IFRS 5 in 
case of a loss of control over a subsidiary published as part of the Annual Improve-
ments  to  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards,  which  were  issued  in  May 
2008, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. The Group 
concluded that the amendments did not have any material effect on its consolidated 
financial statements.

6. New Accounting Pronouncements

Certain new standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for 
the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and which the Group has 
not early adopted.

(i) Adopted by the European Union

Classification of Rights Issues – Amendment to IAS 32 (issued on 8 October 2009; 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010). The amendment 
exempts certain rights issues of shares with proceeds denominated in foreign cur-
rencies  from  classification  as  financial  derivatives.  The  Group  concluded  that  this 
amendment does not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures (issued in November 2009 and ef-
fective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). IAS 24 was revised in 
2009 by: (a) simplifying the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended mean-
ing  and  eliminating  inconsistencies;  and  by  (b)  providing  a  partial  exemption  from 
the disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Group is currently 
assessing the impact of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (effective for an-
nual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010). This IFRIC clarifies the accounting 
when an entity renegotiates the terms of its debt with the result that the liability is 
extinguished through the debtor issuing its own equity instruments to the creditor. A 
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss based on the fair value of the equity instru-
ments compared to the carrying amount of the debt. The IFRIC is not expected to 
have an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Prepayments  of  a  Minimum  Funding  Requirement  –  Amendment  to  IFRIC  14  (ef-
fective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2011).  This  amendment 
will have a limited impact as it applies only to companies that are required to make 
minimum funding contributions to a defined benefit pension plan. It removes an un-
intended consequence of IFRIC 14 related to voluntary pension prepayments when 
there is a minimum funding requirement. The Group does not expect the amendment 
to have any material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Limited  exemption  from  comparative  IFRS  7  disclosures  for  first-time  adopters  – 
Amendment to IFRS 1 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010). 

40a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Existing IFRS preparers were granted relief from presenting comparative information 
for the new disclosures required by the March 2009 amendments to IFRS 7, Financial 
Instruments:  Disclosures.  This  amendment  to  IFRS  1  provides  first-time  adopters 
with  the  same  transition  provisions  as  included  in  the  amendment  to  IFRS  7.  The 
Group concluded that this amendment does not have any effect on its consolidated 
financial statements.

(ii) Not adopted by the European Union

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Part 1: Classification and Measurement. IFRS 9 was 
issued in November 2009 and replaces those parts of IAS 39 relating to the classifi-
cation and measurement of financial assets. Key features are as follows:

 Financial  assets  are  required  to  be  classified  into  two  measurement  categories: 
those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured sub-
sequently at amortised cost. The decision is to be made at initial recognition. The 
classification  depends  on  the  entity’s  business  model  for  managing  its  financial 
instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. 

 An instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instru-
ment and both (i) the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold the asset to 
collect the contractual cash flows, and (ii) the asset’s contractual cash flows represent 
only payments of principal and interest (that is, it has only “basic loan features”). All 
other debt instruments are to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity instru-
ments that are held for trading will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. 
For all other equity investments, an irrevocable election can be made at initial rec-
ognition, to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through 
other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. There is to be no recycling 
of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. This election may be made on an 
instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends are to be presented in profit or loss, as 
long as they represent a return on investment. 

While adoption of IFRS 9 is mandatory from 1 January 2013, earlier adoption is per-
mitted. The Group is considering the implications of the standard, the impact on the 
Group and the timing of its adoption by the Group.

Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets – Amendments to IFRS 7 (issued in October 
2010 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). The amend-
ment requires additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from trans-
ferred financial assets. The amendment includes a requirement to disclose by class of 
asset the nature, carrying amount and a description of the risks and rewards of financial 
assets that have been transferred to another party yet remain on the entity’s balance 
sheet. Disclosures are also required to enable a user to understand the amount of any 
associated liabilities, and the relationship between the financial assets and associated 
liabilities. Where financial assets have been derecognised but the entity is still exposed 
to certain risks and rewards associated with the transferred asset, additional disclo-
sure is required to enable the effects of those risks to be understood. The amendment 
is not expected to have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Recovery of Underlying Assets – Amendments to IAS 12 (issued in December 2010 
and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). The amend-
ments relate to measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets relating to in-

41a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

vestment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40, Investment Property 
and introduce a rebuttable presumption that an investment property is recovered en-
tirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within 
a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic ben-
efits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. SIC-21, 
Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets which addresses similar 
issues involving non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 
16, Property, Plant and Equipment was incorporate into IAS 12 after excluding guidance 
regarding investment property measured at fair value. The Group does not expect the 
amendments to have any material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters – Amend-
ments to IFRS 1 (issued in December 2010 and effective for annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 July 2011). The amendment regarding severe hyperinflation creates an 
additional exemption when an entity that has been subject to severe hyperinflation re-
sumes presenting or presents for the first time, financial statements in accordance with 
IFRSs. The exemption allows an entity to elect to measure certain assets and liabilities 
at fair value; and to use that fair value as the deemed cost in the opening IFRS state-
ment of financial position. The IASB has also amended IFRS 1 to eliminate references 
to fixed dates for one exception and one exemption, both dealing with financial assets 
and liabilities. The first change requires first-time adopters to apply the derecognition 
requirements of IFRS prospectively from the date of transition, rather than from 1 Janu-
ary 2004. The second amendment relates to financial assets or liabilities at fair value on 
initial recognition where the fair value is established through valuation techniques in the 
absence of an active market and allows the guidance to be applied prospectively from 
the date of transition to IFRS rather than from 25 October 2002 or 1 January 2004. This 
means that a first-time adopter does not need to determine the fair value of financial 
assets and liabilities for periods prior to the date of transition. IFRS 9 has also been 
amended to reflect these changes. The Group does not expect the amendments to 
have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (issued in May 2010 and 
effective from 1 January 2011). The improvements consist of a mixture of substan-
tive changes and clarifications in the following standards and interpretations: IFRS 1 
was amended (i) to allow previous GAAP carrying value to be used as deemed cost 
of an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset if that item was 
used in operations subject to rate regulation, (ii) to allow an event driven revaluation 
to  be  used  as  deemed  cost  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  even  if  the  revalua-
tion occurs during a period covered by the first IFRS financial statements and (iii) to 
require a first-time adopter to explain changes in accounting policies or in the IFRS 
1 exemptions between its first IFRS interim report and its first IFRS financial state-
ments; IFRS 3 was amended (i) to require measurement at fair value (unless another 
measurement basis is required by other IFRS standards) of non-controlling interests 
that are not present ownership interest or do not entitle the holder to a proportionate 
share of net assets in the event of liquidation, (ii) to provide guidance on acquiree’s 
share-based payment arrangements  that were not replaced or were voluntarily re-
placed as a result of a business combination and (iii) to clarify that the contingent 
considerations from business combinations that occurred before the effective date 
of revised IFRS 3 (issued in January 2008) will be accounted for in accordance with 
the guidance in the previous version of IFRS 3; IFRS 7 was amended to clarify cer-
tain disclosure requirements, in particular (i) by adding an explicit emphasis on the 
interaction  between  qualitative  and  quantitative  disclosures  about  the  nature  and 
extent of financial risks, (ii) by removing the requirement to disclose carrying amount 
of renegotiated financial  assets  that  would  otherwise be  past  due or impaired, (iii) 

42a

by  replacing  the  requirement  to  disclose  fair  value  of  collateral  by  a  more  general 
requirement to disclose its financial effect, and (iv) by clarifying that an entity should 
disclose the amount of foreclosed collateral held at the reporting date and not the 
amount  obtained  during  the  reporting  period;  IAS  1  was  amended  to  clarify  that 
the components of the statement of changes in equity include profit or loss,  other 
comprehensive  income,  total  comprehensive  income  and  transactions  with  owners 
and that an analysis of other comprehensive income by item may be presented in the 
notes; IAS 27 was amended by clarifying the transition rules for amendments to IAS 
21, 28 and 31 made by the  revised IAS 27 (as amended in January 2008); IAS 34 was 
amended  to  add  additional  examples  of  significant  events  and  transactions  requir-
ing disclosure in a condensed interim financial report, including transfers between the 
levels of fair value hierarchy, changes in classification of financial assets or changes 
in business or economic environment that affect the fair values of the entity’s financial 
instruments; and IFRIC 13 was amended to clarify measurement of fair value of award 
credits. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its consoli-
dated financial statements.

Unless  otherwise  described  above,  the  new  standards  and  interpretations  are  not 
expected to significantly affect the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

At  31  December  2010,  the  Group’s  property,  plant  and  equipment  for  a  total 
of RR 496,930 had been pledged as security for certain borrowings (31 December 
2009: RR 1,009,149) (Note 17).
Construction-in-progress  includes  advances  for  capital  expenditures  for  a  total  of 
RR 94,222 at 31 December 2010 (31 December 2009: RR 49,843).

curred at the end of 2009 and during 2010 the impairment test was performed for 
certain cash-generating units.

The recoverable amount of each CGU was determined based on value-in-use calcu-
lations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets ap-
proved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year 
period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The growth 
rates do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business sector of the 
economy in which the CGU operates. 

Based  on  the  results  of  impairment  tests  the  Group  recognised  an  impairment  of 
property,  plant  and  equipment  of  HMS  Household  Pumps  OJSC  in  amount  of  RR 
19,288 at 31 December 2010 and for the year then ended (at 31 December 2009 and 
for the year then ended: RR 10,558 for property, plant and equipment and RR 3,290 
for other intangible assets related to HMS Household Pumps OJSC).

Assumptions used for value-in-use calculations to which the recoverable amount is 
most sensitive were:

Growth rate beyond five years
Pre-tax discount rate

31 December 2010

31 December 2009

3%
From 14% to 19%

From 16% to 22%

Management  determined  budgeted  gross  margin  based  on  past  performance  and 
its market expectations. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with 
the forecasts included in management reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax 
and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant CGUs.

The recoverable amount of each CGU was determined based on value-in-use calcu-
lations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets ap-
proved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year 
period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The growth 
rates do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business sector of the 
economy in which the CGU operates. 

Based on the results of these calculations the Group concluded that no impairment 
charge was required at 31 December 2010.

Assumptions used for value-in-use calculations to which the recoverable amount is 
most sensitive were:

Management  determined  budgeted  gross  margin  based  on  past  performance  and 
its market expectations. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with 
the forecasts included in management reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax 
and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant CGUs.

As a result of impairment tests performed at 31 December 2009 an impairment loss 
in relation to Trest Sibkomplektmontazhnaladka OJSC (RR 94,881) and Institute Ros-
tovskiy Vodokanalproekt OJSC (“IRVKP”) (RR 22,117) was identified and recognised in 
consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2009.

10. Business Combinations

Acquisition of Giprotyumenneftegaz OJSC

In June 2010, the Group acquired 51% of ordinary shares in Giprotyumenneftegaz 
OJSC (“GTNG”) for RR 2,467,330 paid in cash. Based on the acquired entity’s share 
capital structure, 51% of ordinary shares represented the effective interest of 38.26% 
of total equity of GTNG.

The  acquired  entity’s  activity  is  rendering  design  and  engineering  services  for  oil 
and gas companies located mainly in Tyumen Region. GTNG is the leading design 
and engineering institute servicing the oil and gas industry in Russia. This acquisi-
tion significantly enhanced the Group’s engineering, procurement and construction 
segment allowing the Group to extend the range of services provided to oil and gas 
industry.

The acquired company contributed revenue of RR 1,380,664 and profit after income 
tax of RR 122,622 to the Group for the period from the date of acquisition to 31 De-
cember 2010. Had the acquisition occurred on 1 January 2010, the revenue from the 
acquired business would have been RR 2,203,945 and profit after income tax would 
have been RR 134,707 for the year ended 31 December 2010.

This  acquisition  was  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method.  Non-controlling 
interest was measured at its respective share in the acquired entity’s identifiable net 
assets at the date of acquisition.

At the time of acquisition, the Group determined the fair values of identifiable assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company at the date of acquisi-
tion on a provisional basis and reported the provisional results of acquisition in the 
unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial information for the nine months

The goodwill is primarily attributable to the unique expertise and experience of the 
acquiree, to profitability of the acquired business, as well as to synergy expected to 
be realised in relation to the Group’s servicing of oil and gas industry.

Acquisition of EPF “SIBNA”
In June 2009, the Group acquired control over EPF “SIBNA” Inc. OJSC by increasing 
its share from 29.9% to 76.7% for purchase consideration of RR 247,896, paid in cash. 
The acquired entity’s activity is the sales and repair oil and gas equipment, design of in-
strumentation technology. The acquired company contributed revenue of RR 108,799 
and profit after income tax of RR 16,365 to the Group for the period from the date of 
acquisition to 31 December 2009. Had the acquisition occurred on 1 January 2009, 
the revenue from the acquired business would have been RR 176,596, and profit after 
income tax would have been RR 18,645 for the year ended 31 December 2009.

The goodwill is primarily attributable to the profitability of the acquired businesses, 
the significant synergies and combined costs savings expected to arise. 

The valuation of identifiable tangible and intangible assets was performed by an in-
dependent professional appraiser. 

The acquired entity did not prepare IFRS financial statements prior to the acquisi-
tion. Management believes that determination of IFRS carrying amounts immediately 
before the acquisition is impractical.

Disposal of controlling interest in Hydromash-Industria LLC
In June 2010, the Group sold its 100% share in Hydromash-Industria LLC for a cash 
consideration  of  RR  7,475.  Loss  on  disposal  of  this  investment,  amounting  to  RR 
4,360, was included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as oth-
er operating expenses.

Acquisition/disposal of non-controlling interest in subsidiaries 
In March 2010, the Group acquired an additional 3.36% interest in Tomskgazstroy 
OJSC for RR 32,164, paid in cash. As a result of this transaction, the Group increased 
its ownership interest in Tomskgazstroy OJSC from 77.42% to 80.78% decreasing 
the non-controlling interest by RR 21,344.

The  entities  within  the  Group  provide  post-employment  and  other  long-term  pay-
ments of a defined benefit nature to its employees. These defined benefit plans main-
tained by each entity separately include lump sum upon retirement, in case of dis-
ability, death or attaining jubilee age as well as financial support after retirement. All 
plans are completely unfunded, i.e. provided on pay-as-you-go basis.

Liability arisen from these plans was calculated by an external actuary in accordance 
with  benefit  formula  based  on  individual  census  data  using  Projected  Unit  Credit 
Method  as  required  by  IAS  19,  Employee  Benefits.  Assumptions  were  determined 
based on market conditions as at statement of financial position dates.

Warranty
The Group provides warranties on certain products and undertakes to repair or re-
place  items  that  fail  to  perform  satisfactorily.  A  provision  of  RR  94,092  has  been 
recognised at the year-end for expected warranty claims based on past experience 
of the level of repairs and returns. 

Legal claims
The balance at 31 December 2010 is expected to be utilised by the end of 2011. In the 
opinion of management, after taking appropriate legal advice, the outcome of these 
legal claims will not give rise to any significant loss beyond the accrued amounts.

24.  Share Capital, Other Equity Items 

and Earnings per Share

Share capital and share premium
The Company was incorporated with a share capital of EUR 26 thousand (RR 1,010 
at the incorporation date), representing 26,000 authorised and outstanding fully paid 
ordinary shares with par value of EUR 1, issued on 27 April 2010 with no premium 
(Note 1). On 7 June 2010, those shares were split into 2,600,000 shares with par value 
of EUR 0.01.

Further, in accordance with the  restructuring  plan,  agreed  and entered into by  the 
shareholders of HMS Group (Note 1), the Company issued additionally 100,000,000 
shares.  Those  shares  were  distributed  between  the  Company’s  shareholders  pro 
rata to their existing interests at the date of the restructuring agreement. These ad-
ditionally  issued  shares  were  paid  by  the  shareholders  with  their  shares  in  certain 
limited liability companies, registered in the Russian Federation, which directly and 
indirectly held 100% interest in HMS Group OJSC.

While the transfer of shares in HMS Group OJSC under the second additional issue 
occurred on 19 October 2010, this additional share issue was legally finalised with 
the Cyprus authorities on 8 December 2010. This issue was presented in the con-
solidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2009 as share capital to be 
issued and was reclassified to share capital upon completion of legal registration.

At  31  December  2010,  the  Company’s  authorised  share  capital  consisted  of 
102,600,000 ordinary shares issued and fully paid.

Other reserves
During 2010, the members of Hydroindustry LLC and Hydromashinvest LLC made cash 
contributions into the capital of these entities in amount of RR 85,817.

At 31 December 2010, included in other reserves were expenses in amount of RR 
83,865,  incurred  by  the  Group  in  relation  to  its  preparation  for  an  initial  public  of-
fering (“IPO”) of the Company’s shares on the London Stock Exchange, which was 
successfully completed in February 2011 (Note 37). These expenses include the fees 
of RR 3,066 for other assurance services charged by the Company statutory auditor. 
Upon completion of the IPO transaction, all accumulated issue costs are reclassified 
as a deduction to share premium.

Dividends
During 2010, dividends were accrued only to the holders of preference shares in the 
subsidiaries  in  amount  of  RR  320,458  (2009:  RR  160,009),  but  no  dividends  were 
paid to the shareholders or non-controlling interest holders of common shares. As

a  result,  allocations  of  net  assets  to  non-controlling  interest  holders  of  preference 
shares and common shares were reflected in this consolidated condensed interim 
financial information.

Earnings per share 
The Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares; therefore, the diluted earn-
ings per share equal the basic earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are cal-
culated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The weighted 
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year ended 31 December 2010 
and 2009 was calculated as if the Company existed at 1 January 2009 and through 
2009 with 102,600,000 issued ordinary shares.

Profit/(loss) for the year ended 31 December 2010 and 2009 from continuing opera-
tions attributable to ordinary shareholders is calculated as follows:

Differences between IFRS and local tax legislation give rise to temporary differences 
between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes 
and for tax purposes. The tax effect of these temporary differences is recorded at 
the rate of 20% (Russian tax legislation), 16-25% (Ukrainian tax legislation), 24% (Be-
lorussia  tax  legislation)  and  10%  (Cypriot  tax  legislation),  accordingly.  With  effect 
from 1 January 2011 a new Tax code is applied in the Ukraine, which provides for the 
gradual decrease of profit tax rate from 25% to 16% during 2011-2014. Consequent-
ly, at 31 December 2010, deferred tax assets and liabilities of Ukrainian entities of the 
Group were measured at the rates, which will be enacted at the time when respective 
deferred assets and liabilities are utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforce-
able  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets  against  current  tax  liabilities  and  when  the 
deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.

At  31  December  2010,  the  Group  has  not  recognised  a  deferred  tax  liability  in  re-
spect of temporary differences of RR 4,209,970 thousand (31 December 2009: RR 
2,911,856) associated with investments in subsidiaries as the Group is able to control 
the timing of the reversal of those temporary differences and does not intend to re-
verse them in the foreseeable future.

According to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation tax losses incurred, and cur-
rent income tax overpaid, by a Group company may not be offset against current tax 
liabilities and taxable income of any other Group companies. Therefore, deferred tax 
assets and deferred tax liabilities of the Group companies may not be offset.

with Related Parties

Parties are generally considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the 
other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or op-
erational decisions as defined by IAS 24. In considering each possible related party re-
lationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal 
form.

Related  parties  may  enter  into  transactions  which  unrelated  parties  may  not  and 
transactions between related parties may not be effected on the same terms, condi-
tions and amounts as transactions between unrelated parties.

The  table  below  contains  the  disclosure  by  group  of  related  parties  with  which  the 
Company entered into significant transactions or has significant balances outstanding. 
Other category of related parties comprises individuals who are the ultimate owners 
of shares in the Company, who are also key management of the Group, and other key 
managers.

34. Contingencies and Commitments

(i) Legal proceeding
During the year, the Group was involved in a number of court proceedings (both as 
a plaintiff and a defendant) arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion 
of management, there are no current legal proceedings or other claims outstanding, 
which could have a material effect on the result of operations or financial position 
of the Group and which have not been recorded or disclosed in these consolidated 
financial statements.

(ii) Tax legislation
Russian and Ukrainian tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying in-
terpretations and changes, which can occur frequently. Management’s interpretation 
of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group companies 
may be challenged by the state authorities. 

The Russian and Ukrainian tax authorities may be taking a more assertive position in 
their interpretation of the legislation and assessments, and it is possible that trans-
actions and activities that have not been challenged in the past may be challenged. 
In  October  2006,  the  Supreme  Arbitration  Court  of  the  Russian  Federation  issued 
guidance to lower courts on reviewing tax cases providing a systemic roadmap for 
anti-avoidance claims, and it is possible that this will significantly increase the level 
and frequency of tax authorities’ scrutiny.

As  a  result,  significant  additional  taxes,  penalties  and  interest  may  be  assessed. 
Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for three 
calendar years preceding the year of review. Under certain circumstances, reviews 
may cover longer periods.

Russian  transfer  pricing  legislation  provides  the  possibility  for  tax  authorities  to 
make  transfer  pricing  adjustments  and  impose  additional  tax  liabilities  in  respect 
of all controllable transactions, provided that the transaction price differs from the 
market price by more than 20%. Controllable transactions include transactions with 
interdependent parties, as determined under the Russian Tax Code, all cross-border 
transactions (irrespective whether performed between related or unrelated parties), 
transactions where the price applied by a taxpayer differs by more than 20% from 
the price applied in similar transactions by the same taxpayer within a short period 
of time, and barter transactions. There is no formal guidance as to how these rules 
should be applied in practice. In the past, the arbitration court practice with this re-
spect has been contradictory.

Tax  liabilities  arising  from  intercompany  transactions  are  determined  using  actual 
transaction prices. It is possible with the evolution of the interpretation of the transfer 
pricing rules in the Russian Federation and the changes in the approach of the Rus-
sian tax authorities, that such transfer prices could potentially be challenged in the 
future. Given the brief nature of the current Russian transfer pricing rules, the impact 
of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated; however, it may be significant to 
the financial condition and/or the overall operations of the entity.

The Group includes companies incorporated outside of Russia. Tax liabilities of the 
Group are determined on the assumptions that these companies are not subject to 
Russian profits tax because they do not have a permanent establishment in Russia. 
Russian tax laws do not provide detailed rules on taxation of foreign companies. It is 
possible that with the evolution of the interpretation of these rules and the changes 
in the approach of the Russian tax authorities, the non-taxable status of some or all 
of the foreign companies of the Group in Russia may be challenged. The impact of 

74a

Appendix #1

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements 

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated; however, it may be significant to the 
financial condition and/or the overall operations of the entity.

Russian tax legislation does not provide definitive guidance in certain areas. From 
time to time, the Group adopts interpretations of such uncertain areas that reduce 
the  overall  tax  rate  of  the  Group.  As  noted  above,  such  tax  positions  may  come 
under heightened scrutiny as a result of recent developments in administrative and 
court practices; the impact of any challenge by the tax authorities cannot be reliably 
estimated; however, it may be significant to the financial condition and/or the overall 
operations of the entity.

In  addition  to  the  above  transfer  pricing  matters,  management  estimates  that  the 
Group has other possible obligations from exposure to other than remote tax risks 
at 31 December 2010 of RR 1,975 (31 December 2009: RR 1,975). These exposures 
primarily relate to bonuses to employees and return of goods.

(iii) Environmental matters
The enforcement of environmental regulation in Russian Federation and Ukraine is 
evolving and the enforcement posture of government authorities is continually being 
reconsidered. The Group periodically evaluates its obligations under environmental 
regulations. As obligations are determined, they are recognised immediately. Poten-
tial  liabilities,  which  might  arise  as  a  result  of  changes  in  existing  regulations,  civil 
litigation  or  legislation,  cannot  be  estimated  but  could  be  material.  In  the  current 
enforcement climate under existing legislation, management believes that there are 
no significant liabilities for environmental damage.

(iv) Insurance policies
The Russian and Ukrainian insurance services market is evolving. Part of the Group’s 
production facilities are adequately covered by insurance. The Group has not ade-
quately insured business interruption, third party liability for damage to property and 
environment resulting from accidents involving the Group’s property or connected 
with its operations. Until the Group ensures adequate insurance coverage there is 
a risk that losses incurred or property damage inflicted by the Group may have a sig-
nificant effect on the Group’s financial position and operations.

(v) Contractual commitments
At 31 December 2010, the Group had contractual commitments for the purchase of 
components for construction of property, plant and equipment for RR 105,777 (31 
December 2009: RR 33,168) and for the purchase of other intangible assets from the 
Group’s associate for RR 602,780 (31 December 2009: RR 0). 

The Group holds short-term cancellable and non cancellable operating leases. The 
future commitments of the non cancellable leases are not material.

(vi) Loan covenants
Under the terms of its loan agreements, the Group is required to comply with a num-
ber of covenants, including maintenance of the certain level of net assets and certain 
other requirements.

At  31  December  2009,  due  to  the  breach  of  certain  covenants,  the  banks  were 
contractually  entitled  to  request  early  repayment  of  the  outstanding  amounts  of 
RR  650,000  with  original  maturities  of  less  than  twelve  months  after  the  reporting 
date. The loans were not called by the lenders earlier than their respective contrac-
tual maturity dates.

35. Segment Information

Management  has  determined  the  operating  segments  based  on  the  management 
reports, which are primarily derived from unaudited and not reviewed IFRS financial 
statements. The management reports are reviewed by the chief operating decision-
maker that is used to make strategic decisions. The chief operating decision-maker, 
who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the op-
erating  segments,  has  been  identified  as  the  Managing  Director  of  the  Company. 
The following criteria have been used for determining the operating segments and 
assigning the Group subsidiaries to particular segment:

 Business activities of companies;

 Organizational structure of companies;

 Nature of production processes;

 Manufactured and sold products;

 Specific characteristics of buyers/customers.

The first operating segment “Industrial pumps” includes:

Associates. The first operating segment “Industrial pumps” also includes VNIIAEN 
OJSC, an associate of the Group. The second operating segment “Modular equip-
ment” also includes Dimitrovgradkhimmash OJSC, an associate of the Group.

Geographically, management considers the performance of their subsidiaries in Rus-
sia, Ukraine, Belorussia and location of the customers where the Group performs its 
trade and commercial activities.

The reportable operating segments derive their revenue primarily from the manufac-
ture and sale of industrial pumps, modular oil and gas equipment and other modular 
equipment, oil and gas construction and the other products and services.

Sales between segments are carried out at the arm’s length. The revenue from exter-
nal parties reported to management is measured in a manner consistent with that in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Management of the Group assesses the performance of operating segments based 
on a measure of adjusted EBITDA, which is derived from the consolidated financial 
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

For  this  purpose,  EBITDA  is  defined  as  operating  profit/loss  adjusted  for  other  in-
come/expenses,  depreciation  and  amortisation,  provision  for  obsolete  inventory, 
provision for impairment of accounts receivable, unused vacation allowance, excess 

77a

of fair value of net assets acquired over the cost of acquisition. This measurement 
basis  excludes  the  effects  on  non-recurring  expenditure  from  the  operating  seg-
ments, such as restructuring costs, legal expenses and goodwill impairments, when 
the impairment is a result of an isolated, non-recurring event. 

The segment information provided to the CODM for the reportable segments is rec-
onciled  to  corresponding  amounts  reported  in  the  Group’s  consolidated  financial 
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

36. Financial Risk Management

Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including 
currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management focuses on the un-
predictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on 
the Group’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the Group’s 
finance department. The Group’s finance department identifies and evaluates finan-
cial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising 
from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar and euro. 
Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  from  future  commercial  transactions,  recognised  as-
sets and liabilities and investments in foreign operations.

The tables below summarise the Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate 
risk at 31 December 2010 and 2009 respectively:

(179,961)

(159,672)

At 31 December 2010, if RR had strengthened/weakened by 20% against US dollar 
with all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have been RR 8,495 
lower/higher  (2009:  28,794  higher/  lower),  mainly  as  a  result  of  foreign  exchange 
gains/losses on translation of US dollar-denominated cash and trade receivables. 

At 31 December 2010, if RR had strengthened/weakened by 20% against euro with 
all  other  variables  held  constant,  profit  for  the  year  would  have  been  RR  112,913 
higher/lower  (2009:  RR  3,246  lower/higher),  mainly  as  a  result  of  foreign  exchange 
gains/losses on translation of EUR-denominated trade payables and borrowings.

The Group does not have formal arrangements to mitigate foreign exchange risks 
of the Group’s operations. However, management monitors net monetary position 
of the Group’s financial assets and  liabilities denominated  in  foreign  currency  on 
a regular basis.

(ii) Price risk

The  Group  is  not  exposed  to  equity  securities  price  risk  because  it  does  not  hold 
a material portfolio of quoted equity securities. The Group is not exposed to com-
modity price risk because both its finished products and purchased raw materials are 
not traded on a public market.

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements

(iii) Interest rate risk

Interest  rate  risk  arises  from  movements  in  interest  rates  which  could  affect  the 
Group’s  financial  results  or  the  value  of  the  Group’s  equity.  Monitoring  of  current 
market  interest  rates  and  analysis  of  the  Group’s  interest-bearing  position  is  per-
formed by the Group’s finance department as a part of interest rate risk management 
procedures. Monitoring is performed taking into consideration refinancing, renewal 
of existing positions and alternative financing.

The sales revenue and operating cash flow of the Group mainly do not depend on the 
change of market interest rates. The Group is exposed to the interest rate risk due to 
fluctuations of interest rates on short-term borrowings (Note 17). The Group does not 
have significant interest-bearing assets.

The fair value of the Group’s bonds is disclosed in Note 17 and is estimated based on 
the market quotations. The fair value of the rest of financial instruments is approxi-
mately equal to their carrying value.

At 31 December 20010, if interest rates at that date had been 10% basis points high-
er/lower with all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have been RR 
46,393 (2009: RR 52,755) lower/higher, mainly as a result of lower interest expense 
on variable interest liabilities.

All other financial instruments are non-interest bearing.

(b) Credit risk

The  Group  takes  on  exposure  to  credit  risk,  which  is  the  risk  that  one  party  to 
a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to dis-
charge an obligation. Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the Group’s sales 
of products on credit terms and other transactions with counterparties giving rise 
to  financial  assets  which  consist  principally  of  trade  receivables,  cash  and  bank 
deposits. The maximum exposure to credit risk of the financial assets is limited to 
their carrying amounts.

Trade and other financial receivables
The Group assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their 
financial  position,  past  experience  and  other  factors.  The  credit  quality  of  each 
new  customer  is  analyzed  before  the  Group  provides  it  with  the  terms  of  goods 
supply and payments. The Group commercial department reviews ageing analysis 
of outstanding trade receivables and follows up on past due balances. The credit 
quality of the Group’s significant customers is monitored on an ongoing basis. The 
majority of the Group’s customers are large buyers of industrial equipment and oil 
and gas companies, which have similar credit risk profile to the Group. The Group 
does not analyse its customers by classes for credit risk management purposes.

The Group’s bank deposits are held only with 6 banks (2009: 8 banks) thus exposing 
the Group to a concentration of credit risk. 

Cash is collected according to the contractual terms during the reporting and subse-
quent periods, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance 
by these counterparties.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting 
obligations  associated  with  financial  liabilities.  The  Group’s  finance  department  is 
responsible for management of liquidity risk, including funding, settlements, related 
processes  and  policies.  The  operational,  capital,  tax  and  other  requirements  and 
obligations of the Group are considered in the management of liquidity risk. Manage-
ment utilises cash flow forecasts and other financial information to manage liquidity 
risk.

* As the amounts included in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows, including future interest, 

these amounts will not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the statement of financial position for borrow-

ings and trade and other payables.

When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by refer-
ence to the conditions existing at the reporting date. Foreign currency payments are 
translated  using  the  spot  exchange  rate  at  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial 
position date.

The  Group  is  extensively  expanding  its  business  by  raising  external  finance.  The 
Group uses credit facilities in major multinational and Russian banks. Availability of 
open credit lines together with long-term borrowings gives the Group the possibil-
ity to balance credit portfolio and decrease risk of adverse fluctuations of financial 
markets.

cember 2009:

The Group did not exceed the credit limits of any of the banks during the reporting 
period. The management of the Group does not see any credit risks that could arise 
as a result of financial transactions (as well as any threat of discontinued operation) 
of these banks.

Liquidity ratio
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that 
the Group maintains, at all times, sufficient liquidity for settling its liabilities in due 
time  avoiding  unacceptable  losses  or  risks  of  damaging  Group  reputation.  In  per-
spective, the Group’s strategy is to maintain the liquidity ratio at 1.50.

Directors` report and consolidated financial statements

To manage the targeted liquidity ratio the Group transfers its short-term loans and 
borrowings to long-term ones. 

Management of capital
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits 
for  other  stakeholders  and  to  reduce  the  cost  of  capital.  For  different  borrowings 
taken by different companies banks provide different interest rates (Note 17). 

Gearing ratio
The Group pursues a policy of ensuring a sustainable level of capital that allows the 
Group to maintain the trust of the investors, creditors and the market, and secure 
future  business  development.  The  Group  strives  to  maintain  a  balance  between 
the  potential  increase  of  revenues,  which  could  be  achieved  with  higher  level  of 
borrowings, and the advantages and safety, which the sustainable equity position 
gives. 

The Group controls capital by calculating a Gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated 
as the net borrowing divided by total capital. The net borrowing includes all of the 
long-term  and  short-term  borrowings  carried  on  the  Group’s  consolidated  state-
ment of financial position less the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. 
The capital is calculated as the sum of equity attributable to the shareholders of the 
Company and non-controlling in the consolidated statement of financial position. In 
2010, the Group’s strategy have been to maintain the gearing ratio at the level not 
exceeding 200%.

At the end of the reporting period the gearing ratio was as follows:

Long-term loans
Short-term loans
Total borrowings received
Cash and cash equivalents
Restricted cash
Net borrowing
Equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company
Non-controlling interest

Financial assets carried at amortised cost 
The estimated fair value of fixed interest rate instruments is based on estimated fu-
ture cash flows expected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new 
instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity. Discount rates used de-
pend on credit risk of the counterparty. Carrying amounts of trade and other financial 
receivables approximate fair values. 

Liabilities carried at amortised cost
Fair values of other liabilities were determined using valuation techniques. The es-
timated fair value of fixed interest rate instruments with stated maturity was esti-
mated based on expected cash flows discounted at current interest rates for new 
instruments  with  similar  credit  risk  and  remaining  maturity.  Carrying  amounts  of 
borrowings and trade and other payables approximate fair values.

37. Subsequent Events

Authorised share capital
On  12  January  2011,  pursuant  to  the  unanimous  written  resolution  of  the  general 
meeting of the Company, the authorised share capital of the Company was increased 
from EUR 1,026,000, divided into 102,600,000 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 each, to 
EUR 1,207,058.82, divided into 120,705,882 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 each.

Initial public offering
In  February  2011,  the  Company  successfully  completed  the  IPO  of  its  shares  on 
the  London  Stock  Exchange.  The  Company,  HMST  and  Skye  Commercial  Corp. 
(together  with  HMST,  the  “Selling  Shareholders”)  offered,  respectively,  14,563,427 
global  depositary  receipts  (“GDRs”),  23,041,279  GDRs  and  6,035,294  GDRs,  with 
each GDR representing 1 ordinary share of the Company. The offer price was USD 
8.25 per GDR. The gross proceeds from the IPO, related to and receivable by the 
Company, amounted to approximately RR 3,530 million and the Company’s transac-
tion costs amounted to approximately RR 211 million.

Borrowings
Subsequent to the statement of financial position date the Group’s subsidiaries re-
ceived long-term RR-denominated loans in amount of RR 1,363 million from Sber-
bank  and  OJSC  NOMOS-BANK,  bearing  interest  rates  of  8.90-9.00%  per  annum 
and payable from March 2012 to March 2014. During March 2011, the Group prepaid 
certain short-term and long-term borrowings for a total amount of approximately RR 
3,304 million.

Amendments to the shareholders’ agreement
In  March  2011,  HMST,  the  controlling  shareholder  of  the  Company,  announced  of 
the amendments made to the shareholders’ agreement, dated 24 December 2010. 
These,  inter  alia,  included  the  amendment  to  the  rights  of  HMST  Shareholders  to 
appoint  and  remove  directors  of  the  Company  (the  “Company  Directors”),  so  that 
any decision by HMST as to how to vote its shares in the Company on any appoint-
ment or removal of a Company Director must (a) prior to 1 March 2012, be approved 
by all but one of the directors of HMST and (b) after 1 March 2012, be approved by 
a simple majority of the directors of HMST. These amendments also eliminated the 
right of group of shareholders comprising former shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC 
to  appoint  all  members  of  the  Boards  of  Directors  of  HMST  and  of  the  Company, 
other than one director.

Results
The Company’s results for the period are set out on page 12b of the parent company 
financial statements.

Dividends
Pursuant  to  its  Articles  of  Association,  the  Company  may  pay  dividends  out  of  its 
profits.  To  the  extent  that  the  Company  declares  and  pays  dividends,  owners  of 
global depository receipts (GDRs) on the relevant record date will be entitled to re-
ceive dividends payable in respect of Ordinary Shares underlying the GDRs, subject 
to the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

The Company is a holding company and thus its ability to pay dividends depends 
on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company in accordance with 
relevant legislation and contractual restrictions. The payment of such dividends by 
such subsidiaries is contingent upon the sufficiency of their earnings, cash flows and 
distributable reserves and, in the case of Russian subsidiaries, is restricted to the 
total accumulated retained earnings of the relevant subsidiary, determined according 
to Russian law.
As  a  newly  incorporated  company,  the  Company  has  not  previously  declared  any 
cash dividends on its share capital. The Board of Directors does not recommend any 
payment of cash dividends in respect of the year ended 31 December 2010.

Share capital
The  Company  was  incorporated  under  the  name  of  Bishopstow  Holdings  plc  on 
27 April 2010 as a public limited company with an authorised share capital of EUR 
26,000 (RR 1,010 thousand) divided into 26,000 ordinary shares of EUR 1 each. On 
7  June  2010,  pursuant  to  the  unanimous  written  resolution  of  the  general  meeting 
of the Company, the existing authorised share capital of EUR 26,000, divided into 
26,000  ordinary  shares  of  EUR  1  each,  was  subdivided  into  2,600,000  ordinary 
shares of EUR 0.01 each.

On 18 June 2010, pursuant to the unanimous written resolution of the general meet-
ing of the Company, it was decided to change the name of the Company from Bish-
opstow Holdings Plc to H.M.S. HYDRAULIC MACHINES & SYSTEMS GROUP PUB-
LIC CO. LIMITED. The name was approved by the Registrar of Companies of Cyprus 
on 29 June 2010.

On  28  September  2010,  pursuant  to  the  unanimous  written  resolution  of  the  gen-
eral meeting of the Company the authorised share capital was increased from EUR 
26,000, divided into 2,600,000 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 each, to EUR 875,946 
(RR 36,154 thousand), divided into 87,594,600 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 each.

On 15 November 2010, pursuant to the unanimous written resolution of the general 
meeting of the Company, it was decided to change the name of the Company from 
H.M.S. HYDRAULIC MACHINES & SYSTEMS GROUP PUBLIC CO. LIMITED to HMS 
Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group plc. The name was approved by the Registrar 
of Companies of Cyprus on 3 January 2011.

On 8 December 2010, pursuant to the unanimous written resolution of the general 
meeting of the Company, the authorised share capital of the Company was increased 
from EUR 875,946, divided into 87,594,600 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 each, to EUR

On  12  January  2011,  pursuant  to  the  unanimous  written  resolution  of  the  general 
meeting  of  the  Company,  the  authorised  share  capital  was  increased  from  EUR 
1,026,000,  divided  into  102,600,000  ordinary  shares  of  EUR  0.01  each,  to  EUR 
1,207,058.82, divided into 120,705,882 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 each.

Following the offering on 9 February 2011 (“the Offering”) of GDRs, on 10 February 
2011, the Company has issued 14,563,427 new ordinary shares out of the authorised 
share capital as fully paid at a price of USD 8.25. In the context of the Offering, the 
existing shareholders have also sold 29,076,573 shares to the public. Each GDR is 
represented by one ordinary share of the Company. The gross proceeds from the 
IPO, related to and receivable by the Company, amounted to approximately RR 3,530 
million  and  the  Company’s  transaction  costs  amounted  to  approximately  RR  171 
million.

At the date of approval of these financial statements, the Company’s issued share 
capital consisted of 117,163,427 ordinary shares with par value of EUR 0.01, which 
are fully paid, and the Company’s authorised share capital consisted of 120,705,882 
ordinary shares.

The Company does not have in issue any listed or unlisted securities not represent-
ing its share capital. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (nor any party 
on its behalf) holds any of its ordinary shares.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any outstanding convertible se-
curities, exchangeable securities or securities with warrants or any relevant acquisi-
tion rights or obligations over the Company’s or either of the subsidiaries’ authorised 
but unissued capital or undertakings to increase its issued share capital.

The Company’s Articles of Association and the Companies Law, Cap 113 (as amend-
ed), to the extent not disapplied by shareholders’ resolution, confer on shareholders 
certain rights of pre-emption in respect of the allotment of equity securities which 
are, or are to be, paid up in cash and, following the Offering, will apply to the Com-
pany’s authorised but unissued share capital. Subject to certain limited exceptions, 
unless the approval of the Company’s shareholders in a general meeting is obtained, 
the Company must offer shares to be issued for cash to holders of shares on a pro 
rata  basis.  None  of  the  Company’s  shares  are  currently  in  issue  with  a  fixed  date 
on  which  entitlement  to  a  dividend  arises  and  there  are  no  arrangements  in  force 
whereby future dividends are waived or agreed to be waived.

The role of the Board of Directors
The Company is managed by the Board of Directors which is collectively responsible 
to the shareholders for the success of the Company. The Board sets the strategic 
objectives and ensures that the necessary resources are in place to enable these ob-
jectives to be met. The Board is fully involved in decision making in the most impor-
tant areas of business and conducts regular reviews of the Company’s operational 
and financial performance. One of the Board’s key responsibilities is to ensure that 
there is in place a system of prudent and effective risk controls that enable risks to 
be identified, assessed and managed appropriately.

ko and Yury N. Skrynnik and German Tsoy are members. The remuneration commit-
tee is responsible for determining and reviewing, amongst other matters, the Com-
pany’s remuneration policies. The remuneration of independent directors is a matter 
for the chairman of the Board of Directors and the executive directors. No director or 
manager may be involved in any decisions as to his/her own remuneration.

Corporate Governance
The Company is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate gov-
ernance throughout the Company and the Group. The Company’s and the Group’s 
corporate  governance  policies  and  practices  are  designed  to  ensure  that  we  are

Going concern
Directors have access to all information necessary to exercise their duties. The Di-
rectors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial state-
ments based on the fact that, after making enquiries and following a review of the 
Company’s budget for 2010, including cash flows and borrowing facilities, the Direc-
tors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation for 
the foreseeable future.

Auditors
The Independent Auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited, have expressed their 
willingness to continue in office. A resolution giving authority to the Board of Direc-
tors to fix their remuneration will be proposed at the annual general meeting.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members of HMS Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group Pic

Report on the financial statements
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  parent  company  financial  statements  of  HMS 
Hydraulic  Machines  &  Systems  Group  Pic  (the  “Company”),  which  comprise  the 
statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the statements of com-
prehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from 27 April 
2010 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2010, and a summary of significant ac-
counting policies and other explanatory information.

We have reported separately on the consolidated financial statements of the Com-
pany and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Board of Directors’responsibility for the financial statements
The  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  financial  statements 
that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus 
Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors 
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  International  Standards  on 
Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial state-
ments are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts 
and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the 
auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of 
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assess-
ments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of 
financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s  internal  control.  An  audit  also  includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness 
of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the 
Special Contribution for the Defence of the Republic Law, during the two years after 
the end of the year of assessment to which the profits refer, will be deemed to have 
distributed this amount as dividend. Special contribution for defence at 15% will be 
payable  on  such  deemed  dividend  to  the  extent  that  the  shareholders  (individuals 
and  companies)  at  the  end  of  the  period  of  two  years  from  the  end  of  the  year  of 
assessment to which the profits refer, are Cyprus tax residents. The amount of this 
deemed dividend distribution is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the prof-
its of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defence is paid by the 
Company for the account of the shareholders.

Director`s report and parent company financial statements

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

1. General Information

Country of incorporation 
HMS Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group plc (the “Company”) was incorporated in 
Cyprus on 27 April 2010 and registered at 2-4 Arch. Makarios III Avenue, 1065 Nico-
sia, Cyprus, under the name of Bishopstow Holdings plc, with a start share capital of 
EUR 26 thousand (RR 1,010). In June 2010, the Company was acquired by a group of 
individuals, jointly controlling Open Joint Stock Company HMS Group (“HMS Group 
OJSC”), and renamed H.M.S. HYDRAULIC MACHINES & SYSTEMS GROUP PUBLIC 
CO. LIMITED. Since the date of incorporation and up to the legal acquisition of HMS 
Group, the Company did not have any activities. On 3 January 2011, the Company 
was renamed HMS Hydraulic Machines & Systems Group plc.

Restructuring 
The principal business activities of HMS Group OJSC and its subsidiaries (the “HMS 
Group”) are the manufacture of a wide range of pumps and pumping units, manufac-
turing and repairing of modular equipment, including oil and gas equipment, engi-
neering and construction services mainly for oil and gas companies. These products 
and services are sold both in the Russian Federation and abroad. HMS Group OJSC 
is incorporated and domiciled in the Russian Federation. The address of its regis-
tered office is Chayanova St. 7, 125047 Moscow. The HMS Group’s manufacturing 
facilities are primarily located in Orel, Vladimir, Tomsk and Tumen regions of the Rus-
sian Federation, Sumy in Ukraine and Minsk in Belorussia.

The parent company of HMS Group OJSC is HMS-Holding LLC which till September 
2010 was jointly controlled by Hydroindustry LLC and Hydromashinvest LLC. In ac-
cordance  with  the  charter  of  HMS-Holding  LLC,    Hydroindustry  LLC  had  the  right 
to  appoint  the  executive  body  of  HMS-Holding  LLC  and  its  subsidiaries  (including 
HMS Group OJSC) and Hydromashinvest LLC had the right to appoint the checkup 
committee of HMS-Holding LLC and its subsidiaries (including HMS Group OJSC).

In September 2010, the shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC, Hydromashinvest LLC 
and  other  entities  owning  shares  of  HMS-Holding  LLC  and  of  HMS  Group  OJSC 
signed a restructuring agreement. Under this agreement, the shares of those share-
holders in the entities, holding shares in HMS-Holding LLC and direct shares in HMS 
Group OJSC, were contributed into the share capital of the Company in exchange 
for newly issued shares (Note 8), so that their shares in this new parent company re-
flect their respective effective shares in HMS-Holding LLC and in HMS Group OJSC 
before the restructuring. The shareholders’ rights in respect of the Company’s gover-
nance and control were contractually retained during the restructuring period.

In December 2010, the shareholders of the Company signed a shareholders’ agree-
ment, prescribing them till 31 January 2011 to contribute their shares in the Company 
into  the  share  capital  of  a  private  Cyprus  entity  named  H.M.S.  Technologies  Ltd. 
(“HMST”). In accordance with this agreement, upon the contribution of shares, oc-
curred in steps in January and February 2011, the group of shareholders comprising 
former shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC obtained the right to appoint all members 
of the Boards of Directors of HMST  and of  the  Company,  other  than  one  director, 
and the group of shareholders comprising former shareholders of Hydromashinvest 
LLC obtained the right to appoint one director to the Boards of Directors of HMST 
and of the Company, who oversees the control and revision function. Consequently, 
the group of shareholders comprising former shareholders of Hydroindustry LLC ob-
tained control over the Company (see Note 13). At 31 December 2010, this group of 
shareholders consisted of Mr. Tsoy G.A., Mr. Molchanov A.V., Mr. Molchanov K.V., Mr. 
Khromov V.V., Mr. Frolov A.V. and Mr. Borovko A.A.

Director`s report and parent company financial statements

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

Approval of the financial statements 
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the 
Company on 20 April 2011.

Global depository receipts 
Global depository receipts each representing one ordinary share of the Company are 
listed on the London Stock Exchange International Main Market following the IPO in 
February 2011 (Note 13).

Principal activities 
The principal activity of the Company is the holding of investments.

Consolidated financial statements 
The Company also prepared consolidated financial statements; these financial state-
ments should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements.

2.  Operating Environment  

of the Company

The Company’s subsidiaries mainly operate in the Russian Federation, Ukraine and 
Belorussia.

The Russian Federation displays certain characteristics of an emerging market, in-
cluding relatively high inflation and high interest rates. The recent global financial cri-
sis has had a severe effect on the Russian economy and the financial situation in the 
Russian financial and corporate sectors significantly deteriorated since mid-2008. In 
2010, the Russian economy experienced a moderate recovery of economic growth. 
The recovery was accompanied by a gradual increase of household incomes, lower 
refinancing rates, stabilisation of the exchange rate of the Russian Rouble against 
major foreign currencies, and increased liquidity levels in the banking sector. 

The tax, currency and customs legislation within the Russian Federation is subject to 
varying interpretations and frequent changes. The future economic direction of the 
Russian Federation is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of economic, finan-
cial and monetary measures undertaken by the Government, together with tax, legal, 
regulatory and political developments.

Management is unable to predict all developments which could have an impact on 
the Russian economy and consequently what effect, if any, they could have on the 
future  financial  position  of  the  Company.  Management  believes  it  is  taking  all  the 
necessary measures to support the sustainability and development of the Compa-
ny’s business.

3.  Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies 

Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Fi-
nancial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as adopted by the European Union (EU), and 
the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. The financial statements 
have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

As of the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, all International Finan-
cial  Reporting  Standards  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(IASB) that are effective as of 1 January 2010 have been adopted by the EU through 
the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission, with the ex-
ception of certain provisions of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Mea-
surement” relating to portfolio hedge accounting.

The Company has prepared these parent’s separate financial statements for compli-
ance with the requirements of Cyprus Income Tax Law and disclosure rules as issued 
by the Financial Services Authority of United Kingdom.

The  Company  has  also  prepared  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance 
with IFRS, as adopted by EU, and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, 
Cap. 113 for the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group).

Users of this parent’s separate financial statements should read them together with 
the Group’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 31 Decem-
ber 2010 in order to obtain a proper understanding of the financial position, the finan-
cial performance and cash flows of the Company and of the Group.

Adoption of New or Revised Standards and Interpretations 
The  Company  adopted  all  the  new  and  revised  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting 
periods beginning on 1 January 2010.

Functional and presentation currency 
Functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic envi-
ronment in which it operates. The Company’s functional currency and presentation 
currency is Russian Rouble (“RR”). 

Monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into 
the functional currency at the official exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Rus-
sian Federation (hereinafter “CBRF”) at the respective statement of financial position 
date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of the trans-
actions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities into functional cur-
rency at year-end official exchange rates of the CBRF are recognised in profit or loss.

At  31  December  2010,  the  principal  rates  of  exchange  used  for  translating  foreign 
currency balances were:

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.

Other payables 
Other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings
Borrowings  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred. 
Borrowings  are  subsequently  stated  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest 
method. 

Income taxes
The income tax charge/credit comprises current tax and deferred tax and is recog-
nised in the profit or loss unless it relates to transactions that are recognised, in the 
same  or  a  different  period,  directly  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in 
equity.

Current  tax  is  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  to  or  recovered  from  the  taxation 
authorities in respect of taxable profits or losses for the current and prior periods.

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss 
carry forwards and temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred 
tax  balances  are  measured  at  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the 
statement of financial position date which are expected to apply to the period when 
the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry forwards will be utilised.

Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards 
are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be 
available against which the deductions can be utilised. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforce-
able  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets  against  current  tax  liabilities  and  when  the 
income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority.

Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Com-
pany has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accom-
panying  a  shareholding  of  more  than  one  half  of  the  voting  rights.  The  Company 
carries  the  investments  in  subsidiaries  at  cost  less  any  impairment  in  its  separate 
financial statements. The Company measured cost of its investments in subsidiaries 
at the carrying amount of its share of the equity items shown in the separate financial 
statements of these companies since the restructuring explained in Note 1 met the 
requirements of IAS 27.38B.

Share capital
Ordinary  shares  are  classified  as  equity.  Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to 
the  issue  of  new  shares  are  shown  in  equity  as  a  deduction,  net  of  tax,  from  the 
proceeds. Such costs are initially presented within other reserves and subsequently 
reclassified as a deduction to share premium upon issuance of shares.  Any excess 
of the fair value of consideration received over the par value of shares issued is pre-
sented as a share premium in equity.

Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity at the statement of 
financial position date only if they are declared before or on the statement of financial 
position date. Dividends are disclosed when they are proposed before the statement 
of financial position date or proposed or declared after the statement of financial posi-
tion date but before the financial statements are authorised for issue.

4.  Critical Accounting Estimates  
and Judgments in Applying  
Accounting Policies

The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. Estimates and judgements 
are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other fac-
tors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under 
the circumstances. Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those 
involving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting policies.

At  31  December  2010  and  for  the  year  then  ended,  the  management  of  the  Com-
pany did not exercise judgements and did not made estimates and assumptions that 
would have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

5. New Accounting Pronouncements

Certain new standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for 
the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and which the Company has 
not early adopted.

(i) Adopted by the European Union

Classification of Rights Issues – Amendment to IAS 32 (issued on 8 October 2009; 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010). The amendment 
exempts certain rights issues of shares with proceeds denominated in foreign cur-
rencies from classification as financial derivatives. The Company concluded that this 
amendment does not have any effect on its financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures (issued in November 2009 and ef-
fective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). IAS 24 was revised in 
2009 by: (a) simplifying the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended mean-
ing and eliminating inconsistencies; and by (b) providing a partial exemption from the 
disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Company is currently 
assessing the impact of the amendment on its financial statements.

IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (effective for an-
nual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010). This IFRIC clarifies the accounting 
when an entity renegotiates the terms of its debt with the result that the liability is 
extinguished through the debtor issuing its own equity instruments to the creditor. A 
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss based on the fair value of the equity instru-
ments compared to the carrying amount of the debt. The IFRIC is not expected to 
have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Prepayments  of  a  Minimum  Funding  Requirement  –  Amendment  to  IFRIC  14  (ef-
fective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2011).  This  amendment 
will have a limited impact as it applies only to companies that are required to make 

20b

Appendix #2

Director`s report and parent company financial statements

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

minimum funding contributions to a defined benefit pension plan. It removes an un-
intended consequence of IFRIC 14 related to voluntary pension prepayments when 
there is a minimum funding requirement. The Company does not expect the amend-
ment to have any material effect on its financial statements.

Limited  exemption  from  comparative  IFRS  7  disclosures  for  first-time  adopters  – 
Amendment to IFRS 1 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010). 
Existing IFRS preparers were granted relief from presenting comparative information 
for the new disclosures required by the March 2009 amendments to IFRS 7, Financial 
Instruments:  Disclosures.  This  amendment  to  IFRS  1  provides  first-time  adopters 
with  the  same  transition  provisions  as  included  in  the  amendment  to  IFRS  7.  The 
Company concluded that this amendment does not have any effect on its financial 
statements.

(ii) Not adopted by the European Union

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Part 1: Classification and Measurement. IFRS 9 was 
issued in November 2009 and replaces those parts of IAS 39 relating to the classifi-
cation and measurement of financial assets. Key features are as follows:

 Financial  assets  are  required  to  be  classified  into  two  measurement  categories: 
those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured sub-
sequently at amortised cost. The decision is to be made at initial recognition. The 
classification  depends  on  the  entity’s  business  model  for  managing  its  financial 
instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. 

 An instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instru-
ment and both (i) the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold the asset 
to  collect  the  contractual  cash  flows,  and  (ii)  the  asset’s  contractual  cash  flows 
represent  only  payments  of  principal  and  interest  (that  is,  it  has  only  “basic  loan 
features”). All other debt instruments are to be measured at fair value through profit 
or loss.

 All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity instru-
ments that are held for trading will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. 
For all other equity investments, an irrevocable election can be made at initial rec-
ognition, to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through 
other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. There is to be no recycling 
of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. This election may be made on an 
instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends are to be presented in profit or loss, as 
long as they represent a return on investment. 

While adoption of IFRS 9 is mandatory from 1 January 2013, earlier adoption is per-
mitted. The Company is considering the implications of the standard, the impact on 
the Company and the timing of its adoption by the Company.

Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets – Amendments to IFRS 7 (issued in Oc-
tober 2010 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). The 
amendment requires additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from 
transferred financial assets. The amendment includes a requirement to disclose by 
class of asset the nature, carrying amount and a description of the risks and rewards 
of  financial  assets  that  have  been  transferred  to  another  party  yet  remain  on  the 
entity’s balance sheet. Disclosures are also required to enable a user to understand 

21b

Appendix #2

Director`s report and parent company financial statements

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

the amount of any associated liabilities, and the relationship between the financial 
assets and associated liabilities. Where financial assets have been derecognised but 
the entity is still exposed to certain risks and rewards associated with the transferred 
asset,  additional  disclosure  is  required  to  enable  the  effects  of  those  risks  to  be 
understood. The amendment is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s 
financial statements.

Recovery of Underlying Assets – Amendments to IAS 12 (issued in December 2010 
and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). The amend-
ments  relate  to  measuring  deferred  tax  liabilities  and  deferred  tax  assets  relating 
to investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40, Investment 
Property and introduce a rebuttable presumption that an investment property is re-
covered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment prop-
erty is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all 
of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than 
through sale. SIC-21, Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable As-
sets which addresses similar issues involving non-depreciable assets measured us-
ing the revaluation model in IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment was incorporate 
into IAS 12 after excluding guidance regarding investment property measured at fair 
value. The Company does not expect the amendments to have any material effect on 
its financial statements.

Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters – Amend-
ments to IFRS 1 (issued in December 2010 and effective for annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 July 2011). The amendment regarding severe hyperinflation creates an 
additional exemption when an entity that has been subject to severe hyperinflation re-
sumes presenting or presents for the first time, financial statements in accordance with 
IFRSs. The exemption allows an entity to elect to measure certain assets and liabilities 
at fair value; and to use that fair value as the deemed cost in the opening IFRS state-
ment of financial position. The IASB has also amended IFRS 1 to eliminate references 
to fixed dates for one exception and one exemption, both dealing with financial assets 
and liabilities. The first change requires first-time adopters to apply the derecognition 
requirements of IFRS prospectively from the date of transition, rather than from 1 Janu-
ary 2004. The second amendment relates to financial assets or liabilities at fair value on 
initial recognition where the fair value is established through valuation techniques in the 
absence of an active market and allows the guidance to be applied prospectively from 
the date of transition to IFRS rather than from 25 October 2002 or 1 January 2004. This 
means that a first-time adopter does not need to determine the fair value of financial 
assets and liabilities for periods prior to the date of transition. IFRS 9 has also been 
amended to reflect these changes. The Company does not expect the amendments to 
have any effect on its financial statements.

Improvements  to  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (issued  in  May  2010 
and effective from 1 January 2011). The improvements consist of a mixture of sub-
stantive  changes  and  clarifications  in  the  following  standards  and  interpretations: 
IFRS 1 was amended (i) to allow previous GAAP carrying value to be used as deemed 
cost of an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset if that item 
was used in operations subject to rate regulation, (ii) to allow an event driven revalu-
ation to be used as deemed cost of property, plant and equipment even if the revalu-
ation occurs during a period covered by the first IFRS financial statements and (iii) to 
require a first-time adopter to explain changes in accounting policies or in the IFRS 
1 exemptions between its first IFRS interim report and its first IFRS financial state-
ments; IFRS 3 was amended (i) to require measurement at fair value (unless another 
measurement basis is required by other IFRS standards) of non-controlling interests 

22b

Appendix #2

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

that are not present ownership interest or do not entitle the holder to a proportionate 
share of net assets in the event of liquidation, (ii) to provide guidance on acquiree’s 
share-based payment arrangements  that were not replaced or were voluntarily re-
placed as a result of a business combination and (iii) to clarify that the contingent 
considerations from business combinations that occurred before the effective date 
of revised IFRS 3 (issued in January 2008) will be accounted for in accordance with 
the guidance in the previous version of IFRS 3; IFRS 7 was amended to clarify cer-
tain disclosure requirements, in particular (i) by adding an explicit emphasis on the 
interaction  between  qualitative  and  quantitative  disclosures  about  the  nature  and 
extent of financial risks, (ii) by removing the requirement to disclose carrying amount 
of renegotiated financial assets  that  would  otherwise be past  due or impaired,  (iii) 
by  replacing  the  requirement  to  disclose  fair  value  of  collateral  by  a  more  general 
requirement to disclose its financial effect, and (iv) by clarifying that an entity should 
disclose the amount of foreclosed collateral held at the reporting date and not the 
amount  obtained  during  the  reporting  period;  IAS  1  was  amended  to  clarify  that 
the components of the statement of changes in equity include profit or loss,  other 
comprehensive income, total comprehensive income and transactions with owners 
and that an analysis of other comprehensive income by item may be presented in the 
notes; IAS 27 was amended by clarifying the transition rules for amendments to IAS 
21, 28 and 31 made by the revised IAS 27 (as amended in January 2008); IAS 34 was 
amended to add additional examples of significant events and transactions requiring 
disclosure in a condensed interim financial report, including transfers between the 
levels of fair value hierarchy, changes in classification of financial assets or changes 
in business or economic environment that affect the fair values of the entity’s finan-
cial instruments; and IFRIC 13 was amended to clarify measurement of fair value of 
award credits. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments 
on its financial statements.

Unless  otherwise  described  above,  the  new  standards  and  interpretations  are  not 
expected to significantly affect the Company’s financial statements.

11.  Balances and Transactions  

with Related Parties 

Parties are generally considered to be related if one party has the ability to control 
the  other  party  or  exercise  significant  influence  over  the  other  party  in  making  fi-
nancial or operational decisions as defined by IAS 24. In considering each possible 
related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, 
not merely the legal form.

Related  parties  may  enter  into  transactions  which  unrelated  parties  may  not  and 
transactions between related parties may not be effected on the same terms, condi-
tions and amounts as transactions between unrelated parties.

The Company`s related party balances and transactions are disclosed below:

12. Financial Risk Management

Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (includ-
ing currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk manage-
ment focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize po-
tential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. 

(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to for-
eign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to 

27b

Appendix #2

Director`s report and parent company financial statements

HMS HYDRAULIC MACHINES AND SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

the US dollar and euro (“EUR”). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial 
transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and investments in foreign operations.

The tables below summarise the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange 
rate risk at 31 December 2010:

Monetary

(13,457)

At 31 December 2010, if RR had strengthened/weakened by 20% against US dollar 
with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  loss  for  the  year  would  have  been  RR  2,124 
higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of US 
dollar-denominated trade receivables and borrowings. 

At 31 December 2010, if RR had strengthened/weakened by 20% against euro with 
all other variables held constant, loss for the year would have been RR 567 higher/
lower,  mainly  as  a  result  of  foreign  exchange  gains/losses  on  translation  of  EUR-
denominated trade receivables.

The Company does not have formal arrangements to mitigate foreign exchange risks 
of the Company’s operations. However, management monitors net monetary posi-
tion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency 
on a regular basis.

(b) Credit risk
The  Company  takes  on  exposure  to  credit  risk,  which  is  the  risk  that  one  party  to 
a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to dis-
charge  an  obligation.  Company’s  financial  assets  which  consist  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents. The maximum exposure to credit risk of the financial assets is limited to 
their carrying amounts.

At 31 December 2010, the Company had RR 2,651 of cash placed in one bank with 
Standard & Poor’s rating of BBB+.

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting 
obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s finance department 
is  responsible  for  management  of  liquidity  risk,  including  funding,  settlements,  re-
lated processes and policies. The operational, capital, tax and other requirements 
and obligations of the Company are considered in the management of liquidity risk. 
Management utilises cash flow forecasts and other financial information to manage 
liquidity risk.
