Kazakhstan at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the
reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate
at that date.
Foreign currency differences arising in translation are recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income. Net foreign exchange gain for the six month
period ended 30 June 2015 recognized in profit or loss amounted to 259,215
(loss for the six month period ended 30 June 2014 amounted to 10,512).

22. Financial instruments
The Group's financial instruments comprise accounts receivable and payable,
loans receivable, loans payable, and cash, which arise directly from its
operations. During the reporting period, the Group did not undertake trading
in financial instruments.
Credit risk
Financial assets, which potentially subject Group entities to credit risk,
consist principally of trade receivables (Note 8).
The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of services are made to
customers with an appropriate credit history. The carrying amount of accounts
receivable, net of provision for impairment of receivables, represents the
maximum amount exposed to credit risk.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Although
collection of receivables could be influenced by economic factors, management
believes that there is no significant risk of loss to the Group beyond the
allowance already recorded.
The aging of accounts receivable at the reporting date was:
30 June 2015 31 December 2014

Interest rate risk
At the beginning of 2013 the Group entered into non-revolving credit line
agreement with Sberbank denominated in euro at interest rate calculated as
EURIBOR plus 2.15% p.a. (Note 11). The following demonstrates the sensitivity
of the Group's profit before tax to a reasonably possible change in EURIBOR
rate, with all other variables held constant.

The interest rates on other long-term loans of the Group are fixed and
therefore do not result in susceptibility of upward interest rate risk through
market value fluctuations of interest-bearing loans payable. As at 30 June
2015 the Group did not hedge its interest rate risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. The Group manages market
risk through periodic estimation of potential losses that could arise from
adverse changes in market conditions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in raising
funds to meet commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Liquidity
requirements are monitored on a regular basis and management ensures that
sufficient funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise.

Foreign currency risk
The Group is not engaged in hedging activity to mitigate its foreign currency
risk. The Group limits foreign currency risk by monitoring changes in exchange
rates in the currencies in which its loans and borrowings are denominated.

Sensitivity analysis
The following demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in
the US dollar exchange rate, with all other variables held constant, of the
Group's profit before tax (due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets
and liabilities).
As at 30 June 2015, it is estimated that a 28.54% strengthening of RUR against
USD, with all other variables held constant, would increase the Group's profit
for the six months ended 30 June 2015 by 241,803 (30 June 2014: 10.21%
increase by 88,744). This analysis has been determined assuming that the
change in foreign exchange rates had occurred at the reporting date and had
been applied to the foreign currency balances to which the Group has
significant exposure as stated above, and that all other variables, in
particular interest rates, remain constant.
Respective 28.54% and 20.00% weakening of the RUR against USD at 30 June 2015
and 2014 would have had the opposite effect on the amounts shown above in the
amount of 241,803 and 173,838 respectively, on the basis that all other
variables remain constant.

The following demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in
the EUR exchange rate, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's
profit before tax (due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and
liabilities).
As at 30 June 2015, it is estimated that a 29.58% strengthening of RUR against
EUR, with all other variables held constant, would increase the Group's profit
for the six months ended 30 June 2015 by 350,544 (30 June 2014: 8.63% increase
by 41,315). This analysis has been determined assuming that the change in
foreign exchange rates had occurred at the reporting date and had been applied
to the foreign currency balances to which the Group has significant exposure
as stated above, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates,
remain constant.

-8.63% 41,315
Fair value of financial instruments
The management believes that the fair value of the Group's financial assets
and liabilities approximates their carrying amounts except for bonds. The
difference between fair value and carrying value of Group's rouble-denominated
bonds issued at 10.5% p.a. arises due to higher cost of capital, increased
inflation and uncertainty regarding economic growth discussed in Note 23.
Carrying value of bonds as of 30 June 2015 comprises 2,975,116 while their
fair value comprises 2,641,241.
Capital management
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it
maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to
maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital and to support
its business and maximize shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light
of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group's current policy is not to pay any dividends.
The Group monitors capital using a range of ratios, including gearing ratio,
which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group includes
the following within net debt: loans payable, finance lease obligations, less
cash and cash equivalents and other financial instruments easily convertible
to cash.

23. Risks, commitments and contingencies
Operating environment of the Group
Russia continues economic reforms and the 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 the economic, financial and monetary measures taken
by the government. Management believes it is taking the appropriate measures
to support the sustainability of the Company's business in the current
circumstances.
In 2014 and 2015 Russian economy was negatively impacted by a significant drop
in crude oil prices and a significant devaluation of the Russian Rouble, as
well as sanctions imposed on Russia by several countries. In December 2014,
the Rouble interest rates have increased significantly after the Central Bank
of Russia raised its key rate to 17 percent. The combination of the above
resulted in reduced access to capital, a higher cost of capital, increased
inflation and uncertainty regarding economic growth, which could negatively
affect the Group's future financial position, results of operations and
business prospects. As of the date of the issuance of these consolidated
financial statements the key rate of the Central Bank of Russia reduced to 11
percent.
The combination of the above resulted in a higher cost of capital, increased
inflation and uncertainty regarding further economic growth, which could
negatively affect the Company's future financial position, results of
operations and business prospects.
Management believes it is taking the appropriate measures to support the
sustainability of the Company's business in the current circumstances.
Liquidity
The Russian economy is vulnerable to market downturns and economic slowdowns
elsewhere in the world. The global financial crisis has resulted in capital
markets instability, significant deterioration of liquidity in the banking
sector, and tighter credit conditions within Russia. While the Russian
Government has introduced a range of stabilization measures aimed at providing
liquidity and supporting debt refinancing for Russian banks and companies,
there continues to be uncertainty regarding the access to capital and cost of
capital for the Group and its counterparties, which could affect the Group's
financial position, results of operations and business prospects (please also
refer to Note 25).
While management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the
sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances,
unexpected further deterioration in the areas described above could negatively
affect the Group's results and financial position in a manner not currently
determinable.
Taxation
Legislation and regulations regarding taxation in Russia continue to evolve.
The various legislation and regulations are not always clearly written and
their interpretation is subject to the opinions of the local, regional and
national tax authorities. Instances of inconsistent opinions are not unusual.
23. Risks, commitments and contingencies (continued)
Taxation (continued)
The current regime of penalties and interest related to reported and
discovered violations of Russia's laws, decrees and related regulations is
severe. Interest and penalties are levied when an understatement of a tax
liability is discovered. As a result, the amounts of penalties and interest
can be significant in relation to the amounts of unreported taxes.
In Russia tax returns remain open and subject to inspection for a period of up
to three years. The fact that a year has been reviewed does not close that
year, or any tax return applicable to that year, from further review during
the three-year period.
Russian transfer pricing legislation, which came into force on 1 January 2012,
allows the Russian tax authority to apply transfer pricing adjustments and
impose additional profits tax liabilities in respect of all "controlled"
transactions if the transaction price differs from the market price. The list
of "controlled" transactions includes transactions performed with related
parties and foreign trade transactions. The adopted Russian transfer pricing
rules have considerably increased the compliance burden for the taxpayer
compared to the transfer pricing rules which were in effect before 2012 due
to, inter alia, shifting the burden of proof from the Russian tax authorities
to the taxpayers. Pursuant to the new rules, the taxpayer shall justify the
prices applied for such transactions. These rules are applicable not only to
the transactions taking place in 2012 but also to the prior transactions with
related parties if related income and expenses were recognized in 2012. The
new provisions apply for both foreign trade and domestic transactions. For
domestic transactions the transfer pricing rules apply only if the amount of
all transaction with related party exceeds RUR 3 billion in 2012, RUR 2
billion in 2013 and RUR 1 billion in 2014 and further. In cases where the
domestic transaction resulted in an accrual of additional tax liabilities for
one party, another party could correspondingly adjust its profit tax
liabilities. Special transfer pricing rules apply to transactions with
securities and derivatives.
On 24 November 2014 Federal Law No. 376-FZ of the Russian Federation,
effective 1 January 2015, concerning the introduction of amendments to part
one and two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (regarding the taxation
of profit of Controlled Foreign Companies and tax residence of Foreign
Companies in Russia) was enacted. The Company management does not expect the
above amendments would have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
The Group determined its tax liabilities arising from these "controlled"
transactions using actual transaction prices under such loan agreements. As
for other controlled transactions, control procedures to ensure consistency
between the prices used in the controlled transaction prices and the level of
market prices for the purposes of taxation have been developed and approved.
The activities performed focus on minimizing tax risks.
Overall, management believes that the Group has paid or accrued all taxes that
are applicable. For taxes where uncertainty exists, the Company has accrued
tax liabilities based on management's best estimate of the probable outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits, which will be required to settle these
liabilities. Possible liabilities which were identified by management at the
reporting date as those that can be subject to different interpretations of
the tax laws and regulations and are not accrued in the consolidated financial
statements as of the reporting date could be up to 1,506,562 (1,641,700 as of
31 December 2014).
23. Risks, commitments and contingencies (continued)
Compliance with covenants
The Group is obliged to comply with a number of restrictive financial and
other covenants contained in its loan agreements. Such covenants include
maintaining certain financial ratios. As of 30 June 2015 and as of 31 December
2014, the Group was in compliance with all restrictive financial and other
covenants contained in its loan agreements.
Insurance
The insurance industry in the Russian Federation is in a developing state and
many forms of insurance protection common in other parts of the world are not
yet generally available. The Group does not have full coverage for its plant
facilities, business interruption, or third party liability in respect of
property or environmental damage arising from accidents on Group property or
relating to Group operations. Until the Group obtains adequate insurance
coverage, there is a risk that the loss or destruction of certain assets could
have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations and financial
position.
Litigation
Group companies remain as a defendant in legal actions filed through 2013-2015
against them by a number of third parties. Management believes that there are
no current claims outstanding, which could have a material effect on the
consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position of the
Group and which have not been accrued or disclosed in these consolidated
financial statements.
Pledge obligations
Pledged property, plant and equipment
As at 30 June 2015, the Group entered into a number of loan agreements and
revolving credit line agreements, which were secured by the Group's property,
plant and equipment. The carrying value of the property, plant and equipment
pledged at the reporting date amounts to 1,607,311 (31 December 2014:
1,865,065).
Pledged rights to claim cash
As at 30 June 2015, the Group entered into a number of loan agreements and
revolving credit line agreements, which were secured by the pledge of property
rights representing rights to claim cash under the customer agreements for
conducting seismic works. The pledged rights to claim cash at the reporting
date amounted to 3,497,472 (31 December 2014: 3,836,179).

arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

management personnel in the normal course of business. Key management
personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning,
directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly

credit line facility to PJSC "GEOTECH Seismic Services" in the amount of 6.5
billion rubles maturing 29 July 2022 at 15% p.a. Following the receipt of
