3. Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present the July 2012 edition of the FinancePlus RUSSIA DEAL BOOK.
FinancePlus is a growing community of M&A and financial services professionals, with an emphasis on emerging
market and mid-market finance. FinancePlus provides investors with a real-time catalogue of global investment
opportunities, and it has become a unique and important source of information about local markets for the ben-
efit of the whole business community – buyers, sellers, advisors, M&A industry service providers, and private eq-
uity and venture capital investors. FinancePlus community resources include the FinancePlus website, iPhone and
Android mobile applications, the FinancePlus LinkedIn group, and a number of social network groups for various
developing economies. The FinancePlus LinkedIn group now has more than 165,000 members, and is ranked #23
out of the more than million LinkedIn groups.
FinancePlus provides an open and versatile tool that enables all participants to freely contribute to its information
resources, and use them according to their particular needs and interests. FinancePlus is a breakthrough innova-
tion for everyone involved because it opens the prospect for a collaborative model of information sharing about
investment and deal opportunities, well beyond the capabilities of traditional marketplaces.
As moderator for FinancePlus Russia, my work consists of management and promotion of information sharing be-
tween users and contributors, be they directly involved or simply interested in the Russian M&A and direct invest-
ment market. Russia is an important destination for those who seek global investment opportunities; FinancePlus
Russia facilitates access for foreign investors and is an important a reference for local players.
We publish M&A, investment and financing opportunities in the form of a one-page blind-profile together with
the contributor contact details. In addition, the RUSSIA DEAL BOOK provides a page for each major player that in
the direct investment and M&A market – investment houses, M&A boutiques and service providers such as legal
firms, specialty solution providers, public investment support structures and information resources. We would be
pleased to receive suggestions for updating text or contact information from service providers that appear in the
RUSSIA DEAL BOOK.
In addition to the FinancePlus online facilities, we distribute a print version of the full RUSSIA DEAL BOOK, and
send newsletter updates by email as soon as new purchase/sale opportunities become available.
I wish you all the best for success in the Russian market and look forward to our future cooperation.

“The Online M&A Community” 3
4. Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to the July 2012 edition of the RUSSIA DEAL BOOK. Since we launched FinancePlus we have focused on
creating the first mid-market, online open investor community for the benefit of investors and M&A profession-
als. Our DEAL BOOKS are the first publications to provide such an extensive investment industry resource in their
markets.
FinancePlus is a global investor community that was founded on the basis of the extensive cross-border M&A
transaction experience of its owners and members as private equity fund managers and corporate finance advi-
sors. For mid-market strategic and financial investors, FinancePlus is an open community that provides access to
a wide range of global investment opportunities. It also provides profiles of the main players in the M&A and
investment markets in various countries.
FinancePlus was founded to create a new paradigm for the finance, purchase and sale of mid-market businesses on
a global scale. The potential to develop a new approach to M&A is now achievable through the transformational
technologies of 21st century.These technologies can be used to enable efficient, multi-dimensional communica-
tions methods to bring together strategic and financial investors with target companies in a global marketplace.
We believe that current market conditions require that the traditional timeline for M&A transactions be con-
densed, and that strategic and financial investors should look more broadly for synergies with their own mission
and goals.To accomplish this, investors require a means to receive an overview of real opportunities in the global
environment and to obtain meaningful business and background information on an expedited basis. We believe
our DEAL BOOKS help meet this need.
We cordially invite you to participate by publishing financing and M&A opportunities in the RUSSIA DEAL BOOK.
Each opportunity receives a one-page blind profile together with your contact details, so any interested parties
will be able to contact you directly.
In addition, if your company appears as a service provider in the RUSSIA DEAL BOOK, we would be pleased to
have your suggestions for updating the text or contact information, and we also would be glad to have print qual-
ity logos or other graphics for your page.
Best wishes,
Philippe Der Megreditchian

With its abundance of natural resources, large trade surplus and strong do-
mestic consumer base, Russia is expected to maintain its position as a one
of the world’s ten largest economies over the next decade. The DIY industry
is demonstrating faster recovery rates than other sectors of the economy
based on an increase in spending power of the population as well as strong
demand for DIY products.
The Company seeks investment capital of USD 15 million to fund further
expansion of its hypermarket chain in regional centers with population from
300 to 500 thousand people through investment in the opening of new
stores. The Company is seeking a financial or strategic investor that would
add value to its investment through knowledge of the DIY industry and
willingness to help to formulate the Company’s further financial and stra-
tegic goals. A leading Russian independent DIY retail chain could become a
strong acquisition target for global DIY retail groups.

The world’s diesel vehicle fleet in the world is growing rapidly because of its
economic benefits and the growth rate of diesel fuel consumption exceeds
gasoline. Initially, the Company plans to produce and sell its modified fuel
within its region. In the first phase of its business development, the Com-
pany will produce and sell up to 50,000 tons annually.
The Company plans to license the technology in other markets. The target
audience for licenses is major international oil companies (Top - 50). The key
element of positioning is the economic and environmental advantages of
the industrial use of this proprietary technology. An experimental site will be
constructed to demonstrate the industrial applicability of the technology.
This Company plans to commercialize an innovative technology for the
modification of diesel fuel. This technology brings a 10-15% increase in fuel
volume and a significant improvement of environmental and product qual-
ity without introducing any chemical additives. The modification is induced
through the combination of the original hydrocarbon fuel (straight-run die-
sel fractions), an ozone-oxygen mixture, and specially prepared water. The
ozone and water reagents are inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
The modified diesel fuel does not contain free water and is, in fact, a new
class of diesel fuel. The technology has a patent in Russia. Implementation
in the production stream requires only minor capital expenditures in the
process.

ing up to EUR 1.5 million investment to expand the business.
The Company was established in 2003 to produce and distribute premium

ing advantage of the existing brand awareness, with new identity and new
lines (42 references). The Company has been using focus groups and con-

The Russian office supply market has an estimated potential of USD2 billion,
with almost half of this potential concentrated in the Moscow area. It is also
estimated that 80%-90% of office supplies are imported due to poor quality
of domestic production. There are several large national office supply dis-
tributors and several more in Moscow. Existing distributors work through a
sales force with direct delivery or supply to office supply shops.
The Company is seeking an investor to assist with further growth plans.
The Company is the first mail order office supply business in Russia and one
of the first B2B mail order buinesses. The Company was founded in 2007 by
its Western European owners.
The Company regularly distributes a print catalog of office supplies and op-
erates a website for online order of supplies. To service orders, it has an of-
fice and warehouse in Moscow. The Company’s goal is to become Russia’s
leading mail order office supply business using the model that has been so
successful in Western Europe.

without interrupting one’s reading, and at the same time functions as a dis-
play informing the user of new signals: updates of interesting pages, new
messages on a forum, on webmail or a social network profile, for a search
request, and so on. The counter is not only a marker, but also a personal dis-
play of how many active markers await a response, as well as the entry point
to a personal marker management center.The active marker can tell the user
about changes by mail, instant messenger or SMS.

There are no equivalents to aSN on the Russian-language Internet. Ordinary
social networks demand active participation from the user (registration, fill-
ing out a personal profile), a history of prior contact with other members is
desirable (odnoklassniki.ru), and they are aimed at people who can spend a
great deal of time socializing on social networks. This reduces the likelihood
of finding expert knowledge for most questions.
There has been a rapid growth of“information trash”on the Internet, as well
as an influx of Internet users who are unfamiliar with information technol-
ogy. They do not have the experience to form search requests and are used
to trusting people, not words on a website. The Company plans to build its
aSN to serve this market.

The target audience consists of corporate websites for small and mid-sized
companies, as well as individual sites. There are approximately 500,000 Rus-
sian-language sites and services. In monetary terms, the market is worth a
total of $100-130 million and has annual growth is 70%.
The Company knows from its own experience with integrated site and ser-
vice support for large companies that any website problem is a very serious
problem for the customer, and can cost much more than all of the expenses
for site support. A website that is down or unavailable, or with information
that is incorrect or out of date, can cause losses for the company’s main busi-
ness. These issues will only increase as the Internet finds an ever-larger user
audience.
The Company is seeking venture capital to support the development of this
project.
The Company currently is a leading provider of active markers in the Rus-
sian Internet with active statistics counters now installed on 150,000 Russian
sites, which register 120 million site-page-visits per day from 10-12 million
unique users.
The Company is planning to establish a technical center for thousands of
websites, similar to a service center for cars.
The business problem that the Company is addressing is the absence in the
market of an integrated service company to take on the solution of the pri-
mary tasks for site support. The minimum standard set might include do-
main name registration, hosting, CMS, content support, advertising and
promotion, technology updates and development, and system for working
with site visitors.

Airports are premium indoor advertising segment due to the ability to reach
a large number of people with above-average income. All key business pro-
cesses including selling to the client, installation, and production can be out-
sourced with the Company providing coordination and intergration of each
process. With relatively low printing costs, operating income margins may
exceed 50%.
Advertisers are interested despite crisis because this technology offers:
• A highly effective way to reach a captive audience since customers
wait on average for 10-20 minutes for their bags;
• Multiple impressions due to rotating nature of the ad;
• An incremental revenue stream and product offering for typical air-
port advertising mediums;
• A large, dynamic, and novel media; prints cover the entire carousel.
The Company is targeting the top 20 of the 150 commercial airports in its
territory. The Company is seeking a venture capital investment for further
development of its business.
Business
The Company is commercialzing a proprietary patented technology that en-
ables placement of advertisments on baggage carousels in airports within
Europe, Asia, and Middle East. Carousel advertising is a highly effective way
to reach large audiences globally.
The technology relies upon a combination of materials that achieve ex-
tremely high durability and resistance to scratches and dents with less than
1% replacement rate in 6 months. The material is easy to place and remove
and no mechanical alterations to carousels are necessary. Unlike most of
other forms of out-of-home advertising (“OOH”) media this technology re-
quires no prior set up (billboards for example), just an easy stick and remove
application.

The Company plans to develop a Print-on-Demand (POD) printing service in
Russia. The POD technologies represent a new paradigm for the publishing
industry. With POD, books are digitally printed to order in quantities as small
as single copies for retail customers or bookshops. In the United States, tens
of thousands of publications are now produced by print-on-demand. Inter-
net customers of Amazon do not even realize that their ordered book is not
printed until the moment they have paid for the order.
Print-on-Demand eliminates the need to inventory printed copies of books
and the waste of unsold inventory. POD has also been a boon to authors
since they are able to directly publish books at a minimal cost. With Ama-
zon’s Booksurge, authors can pay as little as $300 to put a book into publica-
tion, and they receive royalties from the first sale.

For advertisers and advertising agencies, the Company will:
• Buy and implement campaigns in Digital OOH;
• Create advertising content;
• Provide media planning;
• Monitor execution;
• Provide post campaign analyses (in cooperation with research com-
panies).
The Company will also provide services to owners of digital networks:
• Marketing and sales;
• Advice on informational and entertainment content;
• Technical matters;
• Business audit (network evaluation, network development).
Digital Out-of-Home advertising has the potential to become a powerful
media, however it still not as popular as traditional media. For Digital OOH
to become an industrial media it should meet several requirements:
• There should be strong principles of media measurement;
• The advertising video should be created especially for Digital OOH as
standard TV commercials are not as effective;
• Uniform pricing systems should be established.
The Company plans to invest in several networks in high quality premises
that would serve different types of audiences: shopping malls, airports, of-
fice buildings, fitness centers, universities. The Company will manage the
advertising in these locations.

The Company is a start-up, organized under the leadership of experienced
UK and Irish businessmen, with proven track records in logistics, distribution
and retail. By employing Internet-based ordering techniques, specialized
software, modern and efficient warehousing, together with a responsive
and comprehensive transport fleet (available 24/7), the Company will en-
sure that retailers’orders for food and beverage products are filled promptly
and accurately.
The Company will operate in the Rostov region. The region has about 4.5
million consumers, however retail shops are currently poorly served by dis-
tributors. By introducing modern, tailor-made systems, the Company will,
from the very start, be operating at much higher level of efficiency than its
competitors. Against this background, business expansion should be rapid,
with the project leaders expecting at least 25% growth in business per year.
Much preparation has already been done and the Company could be in op-
eration within three months of an investment. Letters of intent have been
secured from leading suppliers in the region, several of which are prepared
to channel their goods through the new system. Also, the local staff em-
ployed by the Company have a detailed knowledge of the retail base in the
region, including many personal contacts.
Investment is sought in the form of a loan or equity, with the proceeds be-
ing used to finalize the preparation of the Company’s operational base and
provide working capital to the Company’s subcontractors.

important to make a responsible informed choice. The average Russian cus-
tomer is not much different from its European peer and is willing and ready
to spend time to make sure that his choice is right.
Research on the Russian internet audience this year by the Internet market-
ing company Ad Labs showed that if a product (or a product service) costs
30,000 rubles ($1 000) or more, 62% of customers spend more then 3 weeks
before making final decision.
The Company has developed the first Russian online supermarket of servic-
es, which allows users to shop and make price and quality comparison for a
number of types of products: banking and financial services, telecom, tour-
ism and insurance. The Company’s services cover the entire country in cities
with more than one million population.
Currently, information about the services of more than 1,600 corporate ser-
vice providers is presented and regularly updated on the site.
Since launch in mid-2008, site visitors has been growing on average more
than 20% each month. There are now more than 6,500 unique users each
day, expected to increase to over 10,000 by the end of the year. Three per-
cent of users fill out applications for services.

The global vending machine market now has a turnover of USD 86 billion,
and about 80% of these revenues come from hot and cold drinks and snacks.
The vending machine population in Europe is 10 per 1000 persons, 25 in
the United States, and 50 in Japan, however Russia currently has only 0.2
vending machines per 1000 persons. This indicates the substantial growth
potential for the Russian vending machine market.
The Company, founded in 2006, is now Russia’s largest vending machine op-
erator. It now has a network of 3700 coffee and snack vending machines
controlled by ten regional offices that include Moscow, St. Petersburg,Yekat-
erinburg, Rostov, Volgograd, Perm, Kaliningrad and Krasnodar.
The Company has a nationally recognized brand name and it has gained
considerable experience and knowledge of the vending industry. The Com-
pany has a strong technological advantage based upon close cooperation
with Unicum, a major Russian vending equipment and technology provider,

ments of the Company. It has direct contracts with major FCMG suppliers

Political and economic changes in Russia over the last twenty years have
resulted in a weak greenhouse vegetable industry. Greenhouse production
of vegetables has decreased sharply since 1990 which, in turn, has created
a dependence on imported vegetables despite their high prices and lower
quality. Most existing greenhouse operations are undercapitalized and use
outdated growing methods, obsolete facilities, and inefficient equipment.
Recent consumer studies in Russia show a strong preference for fresh local
vegetables over imports due to the perception that shipped vegetables are
less healthy. The result is an underserved markets for locally grown vegeta-
bles in large population centers all over Russia. Despite the global economic
downturn, demand for fresh vegetables in Russia is still increasing as con-
sumers increase their consumption of fruit and vegetables.
The Russian government has a stated interest in improving the agriculture
industry by offering such incentives as low-interest loans, tax breaks on
equipment purchases, and energy subsidies for vegetable producers.
The Company is seeking a private equity partner.
The Company was established to develop a network of modern greenhous-
es in Russia to satisfy demand for fresh, locally-produced vegetables. By uti-
lizing a scalable business model and the world’s most advanced greenhouse
technologies, the Company plans to construct new state-of-the-art green-
houses as well as retrofit existing outdated greenhouses. The management
team has extensive experience in the Russian agriculture industry.
The Company’s mission is to initiate a fundamental reorganization of the
Russian greenhouse industry through the creation of cost-effective, prof-
itable facilities for growing healthy, environmentally friendly, high-quality
products. The Company will accomplish this by providing fresh greenhouse
vegetables at low costs, implementing modern marketing strategies, main-
taining a transparent business structure, and adopting an aggressive growth
strategy.
To meet the large unsatisfied demand for fresh and local produced vegetables, the Company is
construction and retrofitting greenhouses to state-of-the-art standards

Operating in a relatively young open economy, a low percentage of Russian
companies have a very developed data center infrastructure. In addition,
Russia still has problems with reliability of power service and Internet ser-
vice. It is also has widely dispersed population centers across eleven time
zones. As a result, mobile and cloud computing offer a faster and cheaper
alternative to capital expenses of an owned on-premise data center. These
new technologies provide the means to bypass last generation technology,
and obtain a scalable, flexible and low capital cost growth path.
The Company plans to further develop its existing $13.5 million investment
in fiber networks and telecommunications equipment to become Russia’s
leading distributor of third-party cloud services. It also plans to further de-
velop its solution services for vertically integrated companies and govern-
ment agencies, and as a content delivery network. It will provide unified
access to distributed computer networks, hosted applications and sector
information, and computing resources over the Company’s own innovation-
based IT infrastructure.

The promoters believe the timing is appropriate for a discount retail concept
in Russia, and in particular a dedicated multi-brand sports discount chain.
The Company is seeking an Investment of $4 million to acquire the assets
from bankruptcy, and build the business in the first year forecasted with
turnover of $10m and an EBIT of 15%.
The Company plans to launch a new sports discount chain in Russia on the
basis of the bankruptcy of one of the country’s largest sports brands, which is
expected to be liquidated in July. The promoters believe that about 400,000
units of apparel and footwear with landed cost of around $10m and retail
value of $30+ million could be obtained for approximately $2.0 million. The
brand, retail operations, IT and a dozen or so retail stores could be acquired
for an additional $1m.
In addition to acquiring stock and operations from the bankruptcy, in the
future the Company will obtain close out merchandise from various sports
and sports fashion brands that are not now present in Russia.
