                As of June 30, 2012, the Group"s capital was RUB 40.6 billion. This represents an increase from capital of RUB 29.3 billion as of December 31, 2011 as a result of profit earned from the Group"s main business activities and the sale of a block of treasury shares.

                The IFRS interim consolidated financial statements of Moscow Exchange Group for the first six months of 2012 include the financial statements of OJSC "Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS" and fifteen other companies that are part of the Group, including CJSC "National Clearing Centre", CJSC "MICEX Stock Exchange" and CJSC "National Settlement Depository".
