The Company expects to report that its service revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $22,508,000, which is a 137.6% increase from the $9,473,000 of service revenues reported for the year ended December 31, 2005. Mikhail Smirnov, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our progress in the fourth quarter, in terms of new subscribers and the expansion of our homes passed network, continued to be very strong and has positioned us well to continue this growth in 2007. The take-up rates for our premium cable services showed strong improvement in the fourth quarter, which represents the strongest growth in quarterly revenue in our Company's history. We continue to experience strong penetration levels and continued growth in the number of subscribers in the areas where we have had a market presence for longer periods. In 2007, we expect further increases in the market penetration for our services within our existing network, and additional subscriber growth from newly passed zones."
