key risk factors associated with the company’s business

INDUSTRy RISkSThe.Company.in.its.business.is.exposed.to.industry.risks,.the.most.important.being.prices.for.raw.hydrocarbons.and.techno-logical.risks.associated.with.the.particulars.of.the.production.process ..Moreover,.general.industry.risks.include.transport.restrictions.of.a.technological.nature.which.may.become.a.serious.obstacle.in.achieving.long-term.objectives.of.the.Energy.Strategy.of.Russia ..Search.and.development.of.deposits,.transportation.and.processing.of.gas.and.liquid.hydrocarbons.represents.a.complicated.and.capital-intensive.process.bearing.technological.and.ecological.risks ..The.company,.strictly.observing.industry.requirements.and.standards,.implementing.new.technologies.and.technique.at.all.stages.of.the.production.process,.minimizes.these.risks .

The risk of reduction of salesThe.risk.of.reduction.of.sales.is.associated.with.the.possibility.of.decline.of.demand.for.hydrocarbons.in.the.long-term.which.may.adversely.affect.project.indicators ..However,.according.to.long-term.gas.supply.contracts.valid.until.2018,.the.purchaser.pays.for.the.entire.volume.of.contracted.gas.notwithstanding.the.actual.intake.which.excludes.the.considered.risk.for.the.Company.until.expiration.of.such.contracts .

The risk of material change in the market price for gas

A.material.change.in.the.market.price.for.gas.downwards.may.affect.cash.flows.required.for.stable.production.and.business.operations.of.the.Company ..The.risk.is.considered.as.low.since,.according.to.gas.supply.contracts,.the.price.of.gas.is.determined.according.to.the.formulae.taking.into.account.the.Company’s.expenses.and.the.required.rate.of.return .

Risks associated with validity of licences

The.Company.undertakes.activities.in.relation.to.the.Yuzhno-Russkoye.deposit.pursuant.to.the.licences.for.use.of.subsoil.and.other.licensed.activities ..Applicable.laws.of.the.Russian.Federation.and/or.licenses.provide.for.possible.limitation,.suspension.or.early.termination.of.the.right.for.use.of.subsoil/exercise.of.a.licensed.activity.in.case.of.non-observance.of.conditions.of.licence.agree-ments.or.violation.of.requirements.of.applicable.Russian.laws.in.the.area.of.licensing .

Nenets ..Mutual.relations.with.native.citizens,.government.bodies.and.local.self-government.bodies.are.regulated.on.the.basis.of.the.General.Agreements.on.cooperation.concluded.between.the.Com-pany.and.Administrations.of.Purovskiy.and.Krasnoselkup.districts,.as.well.as.additional.agreements.to.them.concluded.annually .

The.priorities.of.the.General.Agreements.include.the.lines.of.activity.such.as.rational.and.effective.use.of.the.subsoil.and.lands.located.in.the.territory.of.regions.where.the.Company.carries.out.its.economic.activity ..Within.the.framework.of.these.Agreements.the.Company.implements.the.activities.directed.to.social.and.economic.development.of.these.territories.provides.significant.support.to.traditional.sectors.of.agriculture.and.life.of.small-num-bered.peoples.of.the.North .

Some.of.the.brightest.examples.of.mutual.activities.include.the.following:

.� reconstruction.of.a.dormitory.block.of.the.boarding.school.for.future.construction.of.kindergarten.in.Tolka.settlement;

.� repair.of.a.church.in.Krasnoselkup.settlement;

.� construction.of.a.medical.and.obstetric.centre.in.Ratta.settle-ment;

.� acquisition.of.accommodation.for.employees.of.OJSC.Kharampurovskaya.Agricultural.Community;

.� acquisition.of.an.oil.barge.to.deliver.fuel.and.lubricants.to.remote.trading.posts.and.fishing.areas.of.OJSC.Kharampu-rovskaya.Agricultural.Community .

While.financing.social.programmes,.the.Company.creates.a.reli-able.basis.for.further.development.of.Krasnoselkup.and.Purovskiy.districts.in.the.long.term .

While.maintaining.economic.development.in.its.operations.areas,.OJSC.Severneftegazprom.observes.the.obligations.stipulated.in.the.Licence.Agreement.and.its.own.competitive.bidding.policy,.and.all.other.things.being.equal,.it.gives.preference.to.the.Russian.enterprises.and,.first.of.all,.to.local.suppliers.registered.in.the.ter-ritory.of.Yamalo-Nenetsky.Autonomous.District .

An.important.component.of.the.OJSC.Severneftegazprom’s.influ-ence.on.communities.in.order.to.achieve.long-term.success.is.to.render.charitable.assistance ..The.Company.actively.finances.various.charitable.activities:.purchase.of.gifts.to.the.Fisher’s.Day.and.Rein-deer.Herder’s.Day,.assistance.during.the.construction.of.churches,.reimbursement.of.expenses.for.public.utilities.to.retired.veterans,.etc .

Interaction.with.mass.media.is.carried.out.at.federal.and.munici-pal.levels ..The.main.interaction.direction.is.media.coverage.of.industrial.and.social.activities,.events.and.festivities.of..OJSC.Severneftegazprom ..In.particular,.the.media.organizes.regular.coverage.of.the.industrial.and.social.activities,.events.and.celebrations.held.by.the.Company.in.the.framework.of.social.sup-port.of.the.regional.population .

Interaction.with.the.local.population.is.carried.out.in.accordance.with.the.interests.and.rights.of.small-numbered.peoples.of.the.Far.North.to.keep.their.traditional.way.of.life.and.preserve.their.natural.habitat ..Indigenous.small-numbered.peoples.do.not.live.on.the.licensed.site.of.OJSC.Severneftegazprom.or.nearby,.and.this.territory.is.not.an.area.of.their.traditional.land.tenure,.thus,.the.Company’s.activity.does.not.have.a.negative.impact.on.keeping.the.traditional.common.and.cultural.way.of.life.of.the.local.popula-tion.and.customary.forms.of.its.occupation ..

OJSC.Severneftegazprom.has.made.a.significant.contribution.to.upbringing.and.educating.the.rising.generation.of.native.northern-ers.of.Krasnoselkup.region ..In.particular,.the.contribution.included.providing.grants.to.teachers.and.students.of.educational.institu-tions,.paying.tuition.fees.for.students.of.higher.educational.insti-tutions,.purchasing.musical.instruments.for.the.Center.of.leisure.and.folk.arts,.repairing.the.buildings.of.schools.and.kindergar-tens,.and.providing.motor.and.air.transport ..In.order.to.support.traditional.crafts,.the.Company.subsidizes.the.purchase.of.special.clothing,.repair.of.special.equipment,.and.finances.the.celebration.of.public.holidays .

OJSC.Severneftegazprom.has.a.respectful.attitude.towards.sports.providing.sponsorship.support.to.“Geologist”.Children.and.Youth.Sports.School ..The.Sports.School’s.alumni.are.multiple.cham-pions.of.Yamalo-Nenetsky.Autonomous.District.and.winners.of.Russian.and.international.tournaments ..Supporting.sports.teams,.providing.them.with.material.resources,.organizing.matches,.all.these.are.the.Company’s.contribution.to.youth.sports.develop-ment.in.the.operations.area .

The.effective.interaction.of.the.Company.and.local.population.results.in.the.fact.that.during.the.entire.period.of.the.Company’s.industrial.activity.there.was.no.protest.from.indigenous.small-numbered.peoples.of.the.North ..The.Company.understands.that.rendering.active.assistance.to.the.native.population.is.not.only.a.method.of.paying.homage.to.working.people,.but.also.an.oppor-tunity.to.preserve.the.rich.cultural.heritage.for.their.descendants.and.create.favourable.conditions.for.living.and.work.in.difficult.climatic.conditions .
