Our net debt balance (defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term borrowings, short-term promissory notes payable, long-term borrowings, long-term promissory notes payable and restructured tax liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents and balances of cash and cash equivalents restricted as to withdrawal under the terms of certain borrowings and other contractual obligations) increased by RUB 163,948 million, or 19%, from RUB 870,993 million as of December 31, 2010 to RUB 1,034,941 million as of December 31, 2011. This can be explained by the raising of new long-term and short-term borrowings, the appreciation of USD and Euro against RUB.
