<strong>Financial</strong> services<br />

<strong>Rolf</strong> through its financial services division LLC ROLF Pronto brokers insurance policies and consumer<br />

loans for <strong>Rolf</strong>’s customers. <strong>Rolf</strong> has agreements with six retail banks and eight insurance companies<br />

through which customers may obtain car loans and insurance policies. <strong>Rolf</strong> takes no credit or<br />

underwriting risk, is not involved in any of the credit or underwriting decisions and generates fee income<br />

from the provision of such brokerage services.<br />

Strategy<br />

<strong>Rolf</strong>’s key strategic goal is to consolidate and strengthen its position as a leading diversified car retailer,<br />

distributor and services provider in Russia. <strong>Rolf</strong> aims to expand its retail dealership network in Moscow<br />

and St. Petersburg by opening 12 new showrooms by 2011 to take advantage of expected continued strong<br />

growth in the foreign branded car market in Russia. Six of these showrooms are currently under<br />

development. <strong>Rolf</strong> also plans to grow volumes in its distribution business in line with the anticipated<br />

growth of the market in Russia for foreign imported cars. <strong>Rolf</strong> plans to grow the logistics division through<br />

new contracts made with third party car distributors and by investing in the truck fleet. In addition, the<br />

company aims to capitalise on growth in the car spare parts, options and accessories distribution market<br />

as demand increases, and also to expand its financial services brokerage business (see ‘‘Business<br />

Description – Business Strategy’’).<br />
