premises. There are 56 structural units altogether. The main incomes are received by the Bank
from its performance on the territory of Chelyabinsk region.
Significant influence on the activity of CHELINDBANK in 2010 was made by positive after-crisis
changes, which took place in the world economy and Russian economy, in spite there were some
negative factors.
Macroeconomic indicators of economies of the USA and Europe give evidence on improvement of
situation and moderate growth of business activity: growth of GDP, growth of industrial production,
growth of consumer expenses, growth of the main indicators of economic moods. However
economies of the abovementioned countries remain the following risks: high unemployment rate,
budget deficit and high external debt. Situation in EU is still tough. Financial aid provided to some
of the European countries can just give a pause, as far as Europe is facing restructuring of
sovereign debts of several countries simultaneously during future years. To prevent possible
defaults the European fund for financial stability of 750 mln Euro was established.
Economy of Russia showed good results in 2010 as well. Comparing with 2009, GDP grew by 4%,
budget deficit was reduced from 25.5% and comprised 1600 trln roubles, volumes of industrial
production increased by 8.2%, retail sales turnover – increased by 4.4%, unemployment rate
reduced by 7.2%. External factors were favorable to Russia: average oil price in 2010 was equal to
77.5 USD per barrel, and the forecast was 75 USD.
The following negative factors remained in Russian economy in 2010. The volumes of residential
construction and volumes of investments for major and medium companies were still reducing.
Since October 2010 the debts for salaries and household payments came back. The volumes of
construction works were at the level of 2008, the growth of private incomes slowed down,
unemployment rate stopped decreasing. Growth of prices for food and natural monopolies, as well
as in other segments of consumer market created additional inflation pressure. Upon the results of
2
the year the level of consumer prices grew by 8.8%. Anticipating increase of inflation the Bank of
Russia increased deductions into the Funds of obligatory provisioning. In 2010 the Bank of Russia
reduced refinancing rate 4 times leading it to the historical minimum – 7,75%.

the market. The active performance of the working groups established in 2009 for working on the

Net interest incomes prevail in the structure of net incomes, their share comprises 54.3%. During
2010 net interest incomes grew by 82.1% and comprised 1.1 bln roubles. Lending incomes prevail
in the structure of interest incomes, their share comprises 83.1%. In spite of the growth of lending
volumes in 2010, the interest incomes from the loans provided to customers decreased by 14%
and comprised 2.2 bln roubles. Decreasing incomes from lending operations in 2010 is a lagged
effect from decreasing volumes of such operations in 2009, when the loan portfolio decreased by
15.8%, which is also explained by decrease of interest rates for loans in 2010.
Net commission incomes of the Bank comprise 36.2% in the structure of the net incomes. Net
commission incomes of the Bank in 2010 grew by 26.2% and totaled 704.8 mln roubles. Cash and
settlement incomes prevail among commission incomes – more than 55% or 424.9 mln roubles.
During 2010 these incomes grew by 10.7%. In 2010 commission incomes from operations related
to private household payments also increased. Commission incomes from operation for receipt of
such payments in 2010 comprised 66.4 mln roubles, having increased by 7.6% during the year.
The incomes of the Bank from performance on securities market in 2010 including interest incomes
from investments to securities and net incomes from transactions with securities comprised 358.5
mln roubles, which exceeded similar figures for 2009 by 31.1%.
Net incomes from foreign currency transactions reduced by 53.4% and comprised 34 mln roubles;
revaluation losses in 2010 decreased in comparison with 2009 and comprised 14.4 mln roubles.
Reduction of incomes from foreign exchange operations is caused by reduction of demand for
such service.
10
Upon the results of 2010 the Bank’s profit before taxes was equal to 559.5 mln roubles that
exceeded similar figure for 2009 by 145% (or more than 2 times). The main reason for profit
increase is reduction of costs for provisions for possible losses from loans, principal receivable and
other similar debt; from funds on corresponded accounts, and from accrued interest incomes.
Reduction of such costs in 2010 in comparison to 2009 was equal to 79.3%. Decrease of costs for
provisioning from possible losses is related to gradual improving economic environment in Russia
that leads to recovering of economic activity of companies and people, and growth of their payment
ability. The net profit of the Bank upon the results of 2010 increased by 673% and comprised 277.9
mln roubles as of 01.01.2011.
Corporate business
