Background 1. Principal activities These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Public Joint-Stock Company Sovcombank (the "Bank" or "Sovcombank") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" or "Sovcombank Group"). The list of principal consolidated subsidiaries included in these consolidated financial statements of Sovcombank Group is disclosed in Note 26. Sovcombank, the parent company of the Group, was originally established in the city of Kostroma as a limited liability company in 1990. The Bank’s registered legal address is Russia, 156000, Kostroma, prospekt Tekstilshchikov, 46. The Bank operates under general banking license No. 963 issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (the "CBR"). The Bank also holds licenses for securities operations and custody services from the Federal Commission for the Securities Market (the "FSMC") issued on 7 February 2006. The Bank is a member of the deposit insurance system of the Russian Federation. The Bank accepts deposits from the public and extends credit, transfers payments in Russia and abroad, performs transactions with securities, exchanges currencies and provides other banking services to its retail and commercial customers. The main office of the Bank is in Kostroma. As at 30 June 2015, the Bank operates in 901 cities, towns and villages across 49 subjects of Russian Federation. The Bank had 7,728 employees as at 30 June 2015 (7,850 as at 31 December 2014). Participants As at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, the Group's ownership was as follows:

Ownership, % Ownership, % 30 June 2015 31 December 2014

SovCo Capital Partners B.V. 100.00% 100.00% There is no single ultimate legal entity or individual that exercised control over the Group as at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014. SovCo Capital Partners B.V., a legal entity incorporated in the Netherlands, is the shareholder of the Group since 2003. SovCo Capital Partners B.V. is controlled by a group of Russian businessmen, including key members of Management. Operating environment Russia continues economic reforms and development of its legal, tax and regulatory frameworks as required by a market economy. The future stability of the Russian economy is largely dependent upon these reforms and developments and the effectiveness of economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the government of the Russian Federation. In 2015, a significant drop in crude oil prices and a significant devaluation of the Russian ruble, as well as sanctions imposed on Russia by several countries in 2014 continued to have an adverse effect on the Russian economy. The ruble interest rates remained high as a result of raising the key interest rate by the Central Bank of Russia in December 2014 with an incremental decrease in 2015. The combination of the above resulted in reduced access to capital, a higher cost of capital, increased inflation and uncertainty regarding economic growth, which may negatively affect the Group’s future financial position, results of operations and business prospects. Management believes that it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances.

Basis of preparation 2. General These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the twelve months ended 31 December 2014.

2. Basis of preparation (continued) Changes in accounting policies The nature and the effect of these changes are disclosed below. Although these new standards and amendments apply for the first time in 2015, they do not have a material effect on the annual consolidated financial statements or the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The nature and the impact of each standard or amendment are described below: The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, except for the adoption of new standards as at 1 January 2015, noted below. The Group has not adopted early any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Amendments to IAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions IAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when accounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they should be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarify that, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the periods of service. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. These amendments had no impact on the Group, since none of the entities within the Group has defined benefit plans with contributions from employees or third parties. Annual improvements 2010-2012 These improvements are effective from 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. They include: IFRS 2 Share-based Payment This improvement is applied prospectively and clarifies various issues relating to the definitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting conditions, including:

• A performance condition must contain a service condition.

• A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service.

• A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those of another entity in the same group.

• A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition.

• If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting period, the service condition is not satisfied.

The above approaches are the same as those used by the Group to define performance and service conditions that are vesting conditions. Thus, this amendment does not impact the accounting policy of the Group. IFRS 3 Business Combinations The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that all contingent consideration arrangements classified as liabilities (or assets) arising from a business combination should be subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable). These provisions are consistent with the Group's current accounting policies. Therefore, this amendment has no impact on the Group’s accounting policies. IFRS 8 Operating Segments Theese amendments are applied retrospectively and clarify that:

• An entity must disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria in paragraph 12 of IFRS 8, including a brief description of operating segments that have been aggregated and the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assess whether the segments are 'similar'.

• The reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the required disclosure for segment liabilities.

The Group did not apply the aggregation criteria provided in paragraph 12 of IFRS 8.

2. Basis of preparation (continued) Changes in accounting policies (continued) IFRS 13 Short-term Receivables and Payables – Amendments to IFRS 13 This amendment to IFRS 13 clarifies in the Basis for Conclusions that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial. These provisions are consistent with the Group's current accounting policies, therefore, this amendment has no impact on the Group’s accounting policies. IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies in IAS 16 and IAS 38 that the asset may be revalued by reference to observable data on either the gross or the net carrying amount. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is the difference between the gross and carrying amounts of the asset. The Group did not record any revaluation adjustments during the current interim period. IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity (an entity that provides key management personnel services) is a related party subject to the related party disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the expenses incurred for management services. The amendment is not relevant for the Group as the Group does not receive any management services from other entities. Annual improvements 2011-2013 These improvements are effective from 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. They include: IFRS 3 Business Combinations The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies for the scope exceptions within IFRS 3 that:

• Joint arrangements, not just joint ventures, are outside the scope of IFRS 3.

• This scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The amendment is not relevant to the Group and its subsidiaries as the Group is not a joint venture. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that the portfolio exception in IFRS 13 can be applied not only to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contracts within the scope of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable). The Group does not apply the exception provided in IFRS 13 for companies holding a group of financial assets and liabilities (portfolio) and managing this group as a whole. IAS 40 Investment Property The description of ancillary services in IAS 40 differentiates between investment property and owner-occupied property (i.e., property, plant and equipment). The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that IFRS 3, and not the description of ancillary services in IAS 40, is used to determine if the transaction is the purchase of an asset or business combination. The Group relies on IFRS 3, not IAS 40, in determining whether the transaction is the purchase of an asset or a business combination. Thus, this amendment does not impact the accounting policy of the Group. Meaning of effective IFRSs – Amendments to IFRS 1 The amendment clarifies in the Basis for Conclusions that an entity may choose to apply either a current standard or a new standard that is not yet mandatory, but permits early application, provided that either standard is applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the entity's first IFRS financial statements. Since the Group prepares its financial accounts in accordance with IFRS, this standard is not relevant for the Group.

Fair value of financial instruments 21. The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction other than in forced sale or liquidation. As no readily available market exists for a large part of the Group’s financial instruments (specifically extended loans) at which such financial assets would be traded on a regular basis judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value based on current economic conditions and the specific risks attributable to a given instrument. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.

21. Fair value of financial instruments (continued) The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

• Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2: techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The following table shows an analysis of financial instruments recorded at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy:

21. Fair value of financial instruments (continued) Financial instruments recorded at fair value The following is a description of the determination of fair value for financial instruments which are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques. These incorporate the Bank’s estimate of assumptions that a market participant would make when valuing the instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Trading securities valued using a valuation technique or pricing models primarily consist of unquoted equity and debt securities. These securities are valued using models which sometimes only incorporate data observable in the market and at other times use both observable and non-observable data. The non-observable inputs to the models include assumptions regarding the future financial performance of the investee, its risk profile, and economic assumptions regarding the industry and geographical jurisdiction in which the investee operates. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position. The table does not include the fair values of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.

Tax contingencies 23. Russian tax, currency and customs legislation as currently in effect is subject to varying interpretations, selective and inconsistent application and changes, which may occur frequently, at short notice and may apply retrospectively. Management interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and federal authorities. Recent events within the Russian Federation suggest that the tax authorities may be taking a more assertive position in their interpretation and application of this legislation and assessments. It is therefore possible that transactions and activities of the Group that have not been challenged in the past may be challenged at any time in the future. As a result, significant additional taxes, penalties and interest may be assessed by the relevant authorities. Fiscal periods remain open and subject to review for a period of three calendar years immediately preceding the year in which the decision to conduct a tax review is taken. Under certain circumstances, tax reviews may cover longer periods. As at 30 June 2015, Group Management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and that the Group’s tax, currency and customs positions will be sustained.

Related party transactions 24. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions as defined by IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form.
