Sergey Beshev, President and CEO, commented:

"In 1Q 2010 we are already delivering on our promise to return
to profitability as a result of a stronger guest traffic to our network. So
far in 2010, in the organizational front we have incorporated new talent to
our top management team in Finance, Victor Shlepov Chief Financial Officer,
and in Business development, Michael Beacham Chief Development Officer. We
have also initiated the major steps of our internal reorganization that
follows best practices in our industry, which will incorporate more efficient
processes and lead gradually to an optimization of our support services. In
2010, we will continue building the team and processes needed in the future
to keep our leadership in our markets and benefit from the ongoing economic
recovery taking advantage of growth opportunities together with our franchise
partners.

"We tested in 2009 the stability and flexibility of our
business model which showed that we can both deliver growth and provide the
right responses to changing market conditions. We were able to keep our
revenue in ruble terms at similar levels to 2008, we continued to expand our
restaurant chain and accelerated the development of our franchising system in
2009. At the same time, we implemented successful marketing strategies and
menus to drive traffic to our restaurants, cut costs and reduced our total
borrowings while improving the structure of the debt portfolio significantly.

"As a result, amid a sharp contraction in consumer demand and
deterioration in overall economic conditions, we successfully strengthened
our leading position in the restaurant market last year, and we reconfirmed
our ability to provide guests with a great dining experience at the right
place and on an unrivalled scale in our core markets. We already had the
right business platform in place before the crisis, and I am pleased to say
that it delivered."

Victor Shlepov, CFO, commented:

"In 1Q 2010, following the successful first step of our SPO we
have been able to reduce our debt and benefit substantially from the
decreasing trends in interest rates in Russia. I want to highlight two
ongoing projects that should provide sustainable enhancements to our
profitability. In 2010 we will be centralizing many functions that are
currently provided locally by our hub city structure, with positive impact in
SG&A, and we will be reducing the number of our Russian legal entities which
will allow us to have a lower effective tax rate. Both projects are natural
steps at this stage and compare favorably with the approach of Russian
retailers.

"Few comments on 2009: In a very challenging environment where
the Company faced a drop in Same Store Sales in ruble terms, Ruble
devaluation and a very tough credit environment, our net cash from operating
activities increased 29.1% to US$ 26.0 mln, EBITDA increased 19.5% to US$
23.2 mln
, and Net losses reduced 44.5% to US$ 8.4 mln, in dollar terms in
comparison with 2008. As at 31 December 2009, we had also decreased our debt
portfolio by 12.0% and improved its maturity profile with short-term debt
accounting for 53.1% of the portfolio in comparison to 95.5% as of end 2008.

"Looking ahead into 2010, we believe that we are very well
positioned to benefit from market recovery and growth opportunities. So far,
we have observed a continuing positive trend in our Same Store Sales and a
substantial decrease in loan interest rates and, following the initial step
of our Secondary Public Offering, we have also been able to reduce our debt
by US$ 16.0 mln to US$ 56.7mln as at 31 March 2010. From second half 2010 we
will be launching an active, although very selective corporate development."
