[1] Unaudited operating revenue. In this and future trade updates Rosinter plans to indicate only net operating revenue estimates, that are based on total sales of restaurants and canteens, and represent the predominant component of total corporate revenue. Additional components of total corporate revenue may include revenue from sub-lease, revenue from franchise operations, and other. The rational of indicating only operating revenue is driven by expediency and comparability considerations in order to provide accurate data on monthly basis.

[2] Calculation is based gross sales data (including VAT) for the pool of mature restaurants (171 outlets), which had operated for 18 months as of 1 January 2010.
