FY 2010:

Average price of $80/bbl which is 29% higher than 2009 Oil production increases mainly due to 50% share in MMG EP Oil transport at KCP increased Asia Gas Pipeline started operation Reduced volumes at KTG due to decreased volumes to Gazprom Oil processed increased due to full consolidation of Pavlodar Refinery Oil traded at Rompetrol increased given high demand and high oil price

Forecast:

Oil production increases at KMG EP after increased Capex and Kashagan starts production in Q4 2012

Oil transport of CPC and gas transport of AsiaGasPipeline increase in 2012 with start of Kashagan. But, ICA volume decreases as of 2011 due to lower volumes to Gazprom

Oil processed increases in Rompetrol in 2012 after the modernization Oil traded increases gradually

KMG Refining and Marketing(1) (“KMG RM”) is the 100% owned principal refining and trading company of the KMG group

An integrated downstream arm of KMG KMG RM’s strategy:

– Increase sales volume to utilise spare capacity of refineries KMG RM’s principal refinery assets:

Dedicated investments in gas stations resulted in leading retail position in Kazakhstan (e.g. 259 stations and c.21% market share)

In June 2009, KMG RM acquired the remaining 25% of Rompetrol, Romania’s 2nd largest oil group

In September 2010, KMG’s ownership (which is held through Rompetrol) in Rompetrol Rafinare (owning Petromidia refinery) was reduced to 54%
