(prepared in accordance with IFRS)

(unaudited)

Auditors' Report on Review of Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors 
PJSC LUKOIL 
 

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of PJSC LUKOIL (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at 30 September 2016, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three- and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2016 and the related consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine - month period ended 30 September 2016, and notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "condensed interim consolidated financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2016, and for the three -and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2016 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

PJSC LUKOIL

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Millions of Russian rubles, unless otherwise noted)

Note 1. Organization and environment

The primary activities of PJSC LUKOIL (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") are oil exploration, production, refining, marketing and distribution. The Company is the ultimate parent entity of this vertically integrated group of companies.

The Group was established in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 1403, issued on 17 November 1992. Under this decree, on 5 April 1993, the Government of the Russian Federation transferred to the Company 51% of the voting shares of fifteen enterprises. Under Government Resolution No. 861 issued on 1 September 1995, a further nine enterprises were transferred to the Group during 1995. Since 1995, the Group has carried out a share exchange program to increase its shareholding in each of the twenty-four founding subsidiaries to 100%.

From formation, the Group has expanded substantially through consolidation of its interests, acquisition of new companies and establishment of new businesses.

In July 2015, the Company changed its legal form to Public Joint Stock Company ("PJSC") following the requirements of the amended Russian Civil Code.

Business and economic environment

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect management's assessment of the impact of the business environment in the countries in which the Group operates on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business environments may differ from management's assessment.

Note 2. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2015 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last consolidated financial statements for 2015.

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have not been audited by independent auditors, except for the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2015.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorised by the President of the Company on 28 November 2016.

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group's consolidated companies is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. Management has analysed factors that influence the choice of functional currency and has determined the functional currency for each Group company. For the majority of them the functional currency is the local currency. The functional currency of the Company is the Russian ruble ("RUB").

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of the Group is the RUB. All financial information presented in the RUB has been rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated.

The results and financial position of Group companies whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency of the Group are translated into presentation currency using the following procedures. Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, income and expenses are translated at rates which approximate actual rates at the date of the transaction. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Note 3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for 2015.

Note 4. Use of estimates and judgments

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are the following:

   --     Estimation of oil and gas reserves; 
   --     Estimation of useful lives of property, plant and equipment; 
   --     Impairment of non-current assets; 
   --     Assessment of asset retirement obligations; 
   --     Assessment and recognition of provisions and contingent liabilities; 
   --     Assessment of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; 
   --     Determination of whether a joint arrangement is a joint venture or a joint operation. 

Note 5. Income taxes

Operations in the Russian Federation are subject to a Federal income tax rate of 2.0% and a regional income tax rate that varies from 13.5% to 18.0% at the discretion of the individual regional administration. The Group's foreign operations are subject to taxes at the tax rates applicable to the jurisdictions in which they operate.

The Group's effective income tax rate for the periods presented differs from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to domestic and foreign tax rate differences and the incurrence of costs that are either not tax deductible or only deductible to a certain limit. Tax expense is recognised based on the management's best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year multiplied by the pre-tax income of the interim reporting period.

The Company and its Russian subsidiaries file income tax returns in Russia. A number of Group companies in Russia are paying income tax as a consolidated taxpayers' group ("CTG"). This allows taxpayers to offset taxable losses generated by certain participants of a CTG against taxable profits of other participants of the CTG.

Note 25. Commitments and contingencies

Capital commitments

At 30 September 2016, capital commitments of the Group relating to construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment are evaluated as 469,681 million RUB.

Taxation environment

The taxation systems in the Russian Federation and other emerging markets where Group companies operate are relatively new and are characterised by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which is often unclear, contradictory, and subject to interpretation. Often, differing interpretations exist among different tax authorities within the same jurisdictions and among taxing authorities in different jurisdictions. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, who are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. In the Russian Federation a tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent calendar years. However, under certain circumstances a tax year may remain open longer. Recent events within the Russian Federation suggest that the tax authorities are taking a more assertive position in their interpretation and enforcement of tax legislation. Such factors may create substantially more significant taxation risks in the Russian Federation and other emerging markets where Group companies operate, than those in other countries where taxation regimes have been subject to development and clarification over long periods.

The tax authorities in each region may have a different interpretation of similar taxation issues which may result in taxation issues successfully defended by the Group in one region being unsuccessful in another region. There is some direction provided from the central authority based in Moscow on particular taxation issues. The Group has implemented tax planning and management strategies based on existing legislation at the time of implementation. The Group is subject to tax authority audits on an ongoing basis, as is normal in the Russian environment and other republics of the former Soviet Union, and, at times, the authorities have attempted to impose additional significant taxes on the Group. Management believes that it has adequately met and provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of existing tax legislation. However, the relevant tax authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects on the consolidated financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.

Litigation and claims

On 27 November 2001, Archangel Diamond Corporation ("ADC"), a Canadian diamond development company, filed a lawsuit in the Denver District Court, Colorado against AO Arkhangelskgeoldobycha ("AGD"), a Group company, and the Company (together the "Defendants"). ADC alleged that the Defendants interfered with the transfer of a diamond exploration license to Almazny Bereg, a joint venture between ADC and AGD. ADC claimed compensatory damages of $1.2 billion (75.8 billion RUB) and punitive damages of $3.6 billion (227.4 billion RUB). On 15 October 2002, the District Court dismissed the lawsuit for lack of personal jurisdiction. This ruling was upheld by the Colorado Court of Appeals on 25 March 2004. However, on 21 November 2005, due to a procedural error, the Colorado Supreme Court remanded the case to the Colorado Court of Appeals and the Colorado Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court. On 20 October 2011, the Denver District Court dismissed all claims against the Company for lack of jurisdiction. On 23 August 2012, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed this decision. On 1 July 2013, the Colorado Supreme Court denied ADC's Petition for Writ of Certiorari. The case in the state court is therefore over.

On 6 January 2012, ADC filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Colorado (federal court) reasserting almost identical claims asserted in the aforementioned lawsuit and dismissed by the Denver District Court (state court). In the federal Court case, the Company has filed a Motion to Dismiss. On 18 December 2014, the federal court granted the motion based on lack of personal jurisdiction over the Company and the doctrine of "forum non conveniens". ADC filed a notice of appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On 9 February 2016, the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the case on "forum non conveniens" grounds. On 23 February 2016, ADC filed a Petition for rehearing and for "rehearing en banc". On 1 April 2016, the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit denied both ADC'c Petition for rehearing and for "rehearing en banc". On 7 November 2016, the US Supreme court denied ADC's Petition for Writ of Certiorari. The case is therefore over.

In June 2014, the prosecutors with the Ploesti Court of Appeals (hereinafter the "Prosecutor's Office") issued an order on initiation of criminal proceedings and brought charges against PETROTEL-LUKOIL S.A. refinery, a Group company, and its general director based on alleged tax evasion and money laundering. Later the Prosecutor's Office added bad faith use of the company's credit and money laundering charges for 2008-2010 against LUKOIL Europe Holdings B.V., a Group company. The amount of the claim is not finalised. LUKOIL LUBRICANTS EAST EUROPE S.R.L., LUKOIL ENERGY & GAS ROMANIA S.R.L., Group companies, and a number of Romanian legal entities not affiliated with the Group are also considered to be suspects in this criminal case. At the moment a preliminary investigation of the criminal case is being conducted. Tax audits of PETROTEL-LUKOIL S.A. have not revealed any material violations so far. In July 2015, a new charge in respect of bad faith use of the company's credit and money laundering was brought against the general director and several officers of PETROTEL-LUKOIL S.A. A similar charge was brought against LUKOIL Europe Holdings B.V. and PETROTEL-LUKOIL S.A. for 2011-2014. On 3 August 2015, the Prosecutor's Office issued the final indictment on the new charges and submitted the case to the Prahova Tribunal for further consideration by the preliminary chamber judge. The allegations of bad faith use of the company's credit in respect of PETROTEL-LUKOIL S.A. were excluded from the final indictment. Following the preliminary hearing the Prosecutor's Office revised the amount of damage claimed from $2.2 billion (138.9 billion RUB) to $1.5 billion (94.7 billion RUB). This amount is not final. During the entire trial it may be revised by the Tribunal on the basis of evidence produced. On 15 December 2015, the Prahova Tribunal ascertained that there are numerous irregularities in the indictment act and returned the criminal file to the Prosecutor's Office. The solution was confirmed by the Ploesti Court of Appeal on 19 January 2016. However, the Prosecutor has prepared a new indictment act based on the same accusations which were submitted to the Prahova Tribunal on 22 January 2016. On 18 April 2016, the preliminary hearing chamber of the Prahova Tribunal decided on the hearing of the case on the merits. Moreover, on 10 May 2016, the Prahova Tribunal lifted all preventive measures that were in effect against the accused individuals. At the current stage of the hearings the defendants are making oral statements. Next hearing on the merits will take place on 21 December 2016. Management of PETROTEL-LUKOIL S.A. and its tax and legal counsel are actively defending the lawful rights and interests of the refinery, provide all required opinions, clarifications and comments, and prepare an exhaustive set of evidence to fully rebut the charges brought by the Prosecutor's Office. Management does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position.

LUKOIL Overseas Karachaganak B.V., a Group company, among other contractors, is involved in the dispute related to cost recovery and calculation of the "fairness index" in accordance with the Final Production Sharing Agreement in respect of the Karachaganak field in Kazakhstan. An estimated total of claims filed by the Republic of Kazakhstan is about $1.8 billion (113.7 billion RUB), a share of LUKOIL Overseas Karachaganak B.V. is about $243 million (15.3 billion RUB). At the moment the parties are negotiating an amicable settlement of this dispute. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position.

The Commission for Protection of Competition in Bulgaria issued ruling alleging violations of applicable antimonopoly laws by Lukoil Bulgaria EOOD, a Group company, and a number of other legal entities not affiliated with the Group, in connection with concerted actions and anti-competitive agreements to fix petrol and diesel fuel retail market prices in Bulgaria. The maximum amount of fines for this violation is evaluated at $150 million (9.5 billion RUB). Lukoil Bulgaria EOOD filed written objections in required period. The announcement of the date of the open hearing is expected and after that the closing hearing will be held. This hearing will state whether there is any violations or not and the amount of fines if any. Management does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position.

The Group is involved in various other claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While these claims may seek substantial damages against the Group and are subject to uncertainty inherent in any litigation, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on the Group's operating results or financial condition.

Political situation

Political and economic situation in Ukraine remained unstable during 2015-2016. Though the Group's assets and operations in Ukraine are not material, the Group monitors the situation and assesses the risks associated with its operations in Ukraine.

In July-September 2014, the United States ("US"), the European Union ("EU") and other countries imposed a set of economic sanctions on Russia, including certain sectoral sanctions which affect Russian oil and gas companies. Such sectoral sanctions prohibit US and the EU companies and individuals from providing, exporting, or reexporting directly or indirectly, goods, services (except for financial services), or technology in support of exploration or production for deepwater, Arctic offshore or shale projects on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Company considers these sanctions in its activities, continuously monitors them and analyses the effect of the sanctions on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

The Group is exposed to political, economic and legal risks due to its operations in Iraq. Management monitors the risks associated with the projects in Iraq and believes that there is no adverse effect on the Group's financial position that can be reasonably estimated at present.

Note 26. Related party transactions

In the rapidly developing business environment in the Russian Federation, companies and individuals have frequently used nominees and other forms of intermediary companies in transactions. The senior management of the Company believes that the Group has appropriate procedures in place to identify and properly disclose transactions with related parties in this environment and has disclosed all of the relationships identified which it deemed to be significant. Related party sales and purchases of oil and oil products were primarily to and from associated companies.

Outstanding balances with related parties were as follows.

Note 27. Compensation plan

In December 2012, the Company introduced a compensation plan available to certain members of management for the period from 2013 to 2017, which is based on assigned shares and provides compensation consisting of two parts. The first part represents annual bonuses that are based on the number of assigned shares and amount of dividend per share. The payment of these bonuses is contingent on the Group meeting certain financial KPIs in each financial year. The second part is based upon the Company's common shares appreciation from 2013 to 2017, with rights vesting after the date of the compensation plan's termination. The number of assigned shares is approximately 19 million shares.

For the first part of the share plan the Group recognised a liability based on expected dividends and number of assigned shares. The second part of the share plan was also classified as liability settled. The reporting date fair value of this part of the plan was estimated at 22,368 million RUB, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value was estimated assuming a risk-free interest rate of 8.89% per annum, an expected dividend yield of 6.84% per annum, an expected time to maturity of one year and one quarter and a volatility factor of 14.99%. The expected volatility factor for the annual weighted average share price was estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company's shares for the previous ten years from 2006 till 2015.

Related to this share plan the Group recognised 5,965 million RUB of compensation expenses during the three months ended 30 September 2016, 647 million RUB of income during the three months ended 30 September 2015, 12,309 million RUB and 2,938 million RUB of compensation expenses during the nine months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015, respectively. At 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015, 19,298 million RUB and 9,698 million RUB related to this plan are included in "Provisions" of the consolidated statement of financial position, respectively.

At 30 September 2016, there was 5,592 million RUB of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested benefits. This cost is expected to be recognized periodically by the Group up to December 2017.

Note 28. Segment information

The Group has the following operating segments - exploration and production; refining, marketing and distribution; corporate and other business segments. These segments have been determined based on the nature of their operations. Management on a regular basis assesses the performance of these operating segments. The exploration and production segment explores for, develops and produces primarily crude oil. The refining, marketing and distribution segment processes crude oil into refined products, purchases, sells and transports crude oil and refined petroleum products, refines and sells chemical products, produces steam and electricity, distributes them and provides related services. The corporate and other business operating segment includes activities of the Company and businesses beyond the Group's traditional operations.

Geographical segments are based on the area of operations and include two segments: Russia and International.

The fair value of long-term receivables was determined by discounting with estimated market interest rates for similar financing arrangements. The fair value of long-term loans (Level 3) was determined as a result of discounting using estimated market interest rates for similar financing arrangements. These amounts include all future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt repayments, including the current portion and interest. Market interest rates mean the rates of raising long-term debt by companies with a similar credit rating for similar periods, repayment schedules and similar other main terms. The fair value of bonds (Level 1) was determined based on market quotations at 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015.
