dynamics of industrial - economic activities of the company. In the course of one fiscal year, growth of demand for communication services are to be observed, as the consequence we can watch growth of volumes of the services provided by the company.

The income of the Sibirtelecom OJSC received from communication services of on results of work in financial year is 11,9 billion rubles that makes 15,6 % from the income received from realization of communication services by all seven inter-regional telecommunication companies, belonging to group of the companies of the Svyazinvest (the third position among seven inter-regional telecommunication companies) or 4,4 % from the total income of communication industry in 2002. Income increase of the company in rubles in 2002 has made 27 %. Growth of incomes outstripped increase in transaction costs and the charged amortization.

On a background of economic growth in all segments of the communication service market the investment activity of communication industry as a whole has essentially risen. The real volume of the expended capital investments in industry according to the operative reporting has made about 50,0 billion rubles, that is more than on 10 % more than corresponding parameter in 2001 and is 4,5 times more, than increase in economy on average. The investment dollars of the Sibirtelecom OJSC in 2002 has made from above 2,5 billion rubles, that makes 12 % of total investment dollars expended by the inter-regional telecommunication companies (the fifth position among seven inter-regional companies of telecommunication) or over 5 % of the total capital investments in industry.

Regional development estimation

In all 11 regions in which territory the Society provides telecommunication services, the

tendency to steady growth of the economic development level is observed. Thus, according to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, the volume of gross regional product (GRP) per head with respect to 2000 has grown in the following proportions:

Growth of GRP per head in regions

The Siberian federal district

Region Growth of GRP per head in 2002 with respect to 2000, %

Altai Republic 14,35 Buryat Republic 48,78 Khakas Republic 44,52 Altai Territory 50,56 Krasnoyarsk Territory 22,63 Irkutsk Region 40,56 Kemerovo Region 43,20 Novosibirsk Region 53,62 Omsk Region 45,85 Tomsk Region 29,43 Chita Region 47,72

Share of the Sibirtelecom OJSC in the Siberia market

The company provides a wide spectrum of telecommunication services in territory of the Siberian federal district.

70 % of the Siberia population live in cities, and the overwhelming majority of these city settlements is located on the Tran Siberian trunk-railway or in immediate proximity to it. Demand is strongly concentrated in three largest cities with 16 percent of all Siberian population and twenty-five large cities with 29 percent of inhabitants of Siberia.

In Siberia the large export-oriented companies operate. In particular, our region is the main base of the Russian nickel, copper, aluminum and wood industry. Other important industries are electric power industry, coal, chemical, machine building, pulp-and-paper and the food-processing industry. The Novosibirsk Academgorodok is one of the largest centers of the world science.

10Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, alongside with known scientific institutes, have numerous establishments of higher education.

Siberia is the transit region for export production from China, the countries of Asian - Pacific region and the Central Asia.

According to our estimations, the volume of consumption of communication services in the Siberian Federal District makes about 600 million US dollars. The potential of the market is essentially higher. The current level of telephone density is equal only 16-17 %, and penetration of mobile communication in 2002 has reached only 5 %.

Continued rise of the Siberian economy and latent solvent demand create favorable preconditions for fast expansion of the telecommunication market. Its main feature is that the offer of services is the main engine of the market.

Based upon conservative reasons, we assume, that the Siberian telecommunication market will grow with mid-annual rate of 10-12 % in dollar terms.

The competition in Siberia telecommunication industry is steadily accruing. The staff of competitors is quickly updated. The operators from oil, coal, power and railway industries are submitted in the market. In many regions the small competing providers of telephone, mobile and Internet-services have appeared. However the most essential is the appearance at the Siberian market of the largest national operators: Equant, Golden Telecom, Transtelecom, Vympelcom, Mobile TeleSystems companies.

Positions of the Sibirtelecom OJSC are strong enough. About 58 % of the communication market of the Siberian Region belongs to the company. The share in the wire communication market of 84 % is dominating in region. In wireless communication the share makes 3,7 %.

CALCULATION OF THE CALLS COST) in telephone systems of the Kemerovo Region started its introducing in 1994. First of all, the AUTOMATICAL PERIODICAL CALCULATION OF THE CALLS COST equipment has been mounted in the regional center (Kemerovo). In 1995 the equipment of the time rate account of telephone calls cost was put into operation in Novokuznetsk.

Transferring into the time rate payment system for local connections in Kemerovo, in one of the first cities of Russia, has been carried out in 1994 under the order of the Administration of the Kemerovo Region, according to the order of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation from 11.01.92 № 7. The administration of the city of Kemerovo, in view of wishes of subscribers, approved the tariff for one minute of actually taken place outgoing local connection without charge of a constant component, which was recommended for calculation by a technique working on that moment and being necessary for the maintenance of station and linear constructions of «little-speaking subscribers». At present, cost of one minute of local telephone connection is 0,23 rubles.

In Novokuznetsk the other scheme of payment was introduced and exist. This scheme contains both the constant component (a license fee) taking into account limit time, and variable component (traffic payment).

During installation and adjustment of the equipment of time rate account of calls, in these cities the great explanatory campaign was conducted through mass media.

Besides, in the sociological interrogation, which has been conducted before introducing of new system of calls payment, 76 % of the townspeople have supported it.

Accounting of telephone call duration under local telephone connection (under the time rate account system) is executed according to the tariff unit, accepted by the line operator. The tariff unit of local telephone connection is one minute. Payment is collected for each complete and incomplete minute of call, just as while the long-distance/toll and the international connection.

VI.WORK WITH PERSONNEL

6.1. Labor and wages: Approved Regulations on Labor remuneration exist in every regional branch of the

Company, and all employees are paid according to these regulations. Official salaries of the employees in most regional branches are fixed according to the tariff scale and minimal monthly base rate for the 1st grade. Time-rate-bonus system allowing to differentiate the amounts of payment according to difficulty, intensity, conditions of work and professional skills is predominantly used.

Average wages of the Company employees in 2002 excluding payments made to part-time employees and fees amounted to 5381 rubles and vary between 4036 rubles (“Altaitelecom’ branch) and 6735 rubles (“Tomsktelecom” branch).

Average wage growth of the Company employees in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous year amounted to 135,7 % and was reached due to special measures taken to raise wages and to improvement in the Company’s organizational framework and personnel structure, which also led to reduction in staff.

The increase in wages was carried out by all regional branches of the Company in order to comply with the provisions of the trade tariff agreements for 2002 and to reach minimal base rate of 1000 rubles by the end of the year.

It should be noted that not all branches were able to observe the above-mentioned trade agreement in full and by the end of the year the minimal base rate level varies between 568 and 1000 and more rubles. At the same time in some branches minimal tariff rate level is differentiated according to production volumes and other conditions.

6.2. Improvement in management structure: On November 30, 2002, reorganization of the Company was completed. Ten

telecommunication companies of the Siberian region joined the Company according to the decision of extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders (Minutes No.2 of December 21, 2001). As the result, the Company now unites 11 regional branches, which are listed in item 1.9 of the present report.

The process of merging was accompanied by preparatory work in all companies of the Siberian region in order to improve inner organizational framework, to enlarge organization departments, to reduce their number, to allocate non-specialized activities to joint stock companies and to separate security subdivisions.

This work was done to increase management efficiency, to improve financial and economic results, to reduce costs, to improve the quality of services, to increase labor efficiency.

New service centers were created in 2002 in Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Abakan, and Barnaul that allowed the separation of technical and service functions and introduction of uniform system of quality service for the customers.

In some Siberian companies the work to enlarge organization departments, to create service centers was made during 2000-2001 and in 2002 they were busy improving personnel structure, separating non-specialized activities and forming system for private pension provision for the employees, who reached pension age.

As the result, by the end of 2002 in all regional branches of Sibirtelecom OJSC there were 193 organization departments and average number of employees was 49 633.

The measures taken to improve personnel structures and organizational frameworks allowed reducing number of employees of Sibirtelecom OJSC by 2303 workers.

6.3. Work with personnel: In 2002 Sibirtelecom OJSC met the challenges of its main objectives in work with

personnel, which include hiring necessary specialists, improvement and development of personnel potential, efficient labor management, professional growth and solution of social problems of the personnel.

Reorganization of Siberian regional telecommunication companies, performed by OJSC “Svyazinvest”, was completed.

All employees of the joint stock companies starting on December 1, 2002, were transferred to regional branches according to the lists of staff members and Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Total number of employees on January 1, 2003 was 49 601. In comparison with the previous year it decreased by 4 258. The decrease in staff was due to the introduction of electronic and digital telephone switches, structural reorganization in Sibirtelecom OJSC, separation of non-specialized activities (for example, employees, who guard telecommunication stations, clean the premises etc.) 1580 persons out of 4258 were discharged on grounds of staff reduction. The employees discharged on these grounds were granted rights according to the current legislation.

47,1% of staff have higher and secondary professional education, 32,8% - are directors and specialists. Average age is 40,2 years.

Percent of replacibility by specialists with higher education in comparison with 2001 increased by 0,8% and by the end of 2002 totaled 67,1%.

Percent of replacibility by specialists with secondary education by the end of 2002 totaled 78, 0 %.

One of the means to provide for economic stability of the company is the implementation of the strategy for accumulation and preservation of the human capital, inducing the employees to maintain and develop their knowledge by means of professional education, re-education and further professional development. This is why one of the foreground tasks in personnel policy of the company is in-company personnel training.

In 2002 in Sibirtelecom OJSC 4977 persons had courses of further professional development and education, including 1035 directors and 1991 specialists.

In joint company Sibirtelecom OJSC there are 6 educational centers. All of them work according to the plans, approved by the directors of the regional branches.

2573 employees were educated in these centers in 2002. Expenses for education and further professional development in 2002 totaled 34044,5

thousand rubles, including 17028,1 rubles to keep own educational centers. One of the strategies in personnel management is social support for the employees,

including granting social privileges. Social privileges were provided according to Agreements and collective agreements, signed in each of the merged joint stock Companies, which obtained status of regional branches.

One of the most important social privileges is granting loans to employees to purchase dwellings, to improve housing conditions, to solve social problems. In 2002 the total sum of loans amounted 42,8 million rubles. 1096 employees enjoyed these privileges.

9,4 million rubles were used to pay for sanatorium-and-spa treatment of employees and members of their families. 1116 employees enjoyed this privilege.

Compensation of payment for keeping children in pre-school and general education institutions amounted to 934, 7 thousand rubles.

Social environment was also kept (health units, canteens, kindergartens, health centers) 22,0 million rubles were spent in 2002 to keep social institutions. In regional branches administration together with trade unions work to support

pensioners and veterans, provide financial support for medical treatment and other purposes. Such support amounted to 10,9 million rubles in 2002.

65

In order to provide for staff rotation, to make less acute problems, arising from the necessity to cut back the number of employees, regional branches work together with private pension fund “Telecom-Soyuz”. 774 employees enjoyed the privilege of additional pension provision in 2002. Payments to the private pension fund totaled 68,2 million rubles.

Sibirtelecom OJSC is a socially responsible enterprise, recognizing the necessity to assign part of the profit to socially unprotected part of population (Veterans, pensioners, invalids, hospitals, societies of the deaf and of the blind), to take part in programs to develop and support Russian culture (theatres, festivals etc), to provide help in creating modern material resources to develop creative abilities and maintain future intellectual and cultural potential of Russia (social orphanages for children and teenagers, children's homes, children’s theaters-studios, religious organizations), to keep memory about participants in the World War II and to support veterans (charitable funds, veteran’s committees) .

In 2002 the Company spent 32,4 million rubles of its profit for charity and sponsorship.

XI. MAIN RISK FACTORS

Competitive situation: At the present telecommunication market of the Siberian Federal Division can be

characterized as follows: steady position of the Company on the market of local telephone services is threatened by rapid development of mobile communication by alternative operators, by the tendency for reduction of Sibirtelecom OJSC market share in the sphere of intercity and international communication and Internet access. The tendency is evident in all 11 regions, being served by the Company.

For its part Sibirtelecom OJSC is non-competitive on the market for mobile phone services, where national operators such as MTS and Beeline prevail. The struggle for multiform market of data transmission services is still going with traditional operators possessing less than 50% of this market. First of all it is connected with the growth in the number of competing companies, rapid development of communication technologies and increased attention of national operators to the Siberian market.

It should be noted that the competition becomes more acute from all three groups of competitors: national, departmental and local operators. Some local operators, working within one or two regions of the Siberian Federal Division, may be considered competitors for the Company because of their market share. At present the competitive situation in all kinds of services is widely differentiated for different segments of users.

Threats for the Company:

• introduction of new strong competitors on the market of services ( especially important in connection with the possibility of Russia’s joining International Trade Union)

• weakening positions on the markets of intercity and international communication due to improving technologies of voice transmission and development of IP-networks

• appearance of new competitive markets, where electric communication companies have no historically existing advantages;

• development of wireless means of communication, perfection of technologies, reducing capital outlays for constructing telecommunication networks;

• rapid development of national cellular phone operators will inevitably influence on the Company’s services in voice and data transmission;

• advance development of competitive communication networks.
