Alexey Kim, Chief Executive Officer of UNR, stated, "We believe that the impressive revenue and earnings growth we achieved during the third quarter reflect improving economic conditions, the payoff from our aggressive cost-control strategy over the last three quarters, and the exceptional progress we've made on the construction of our key projects. Square-footage sales for our two flagship housing developments more than tripled year-over-year during the quarter, and our cash position remains strong as we head toward the close of the year. We anticipate continued moderate growth in both the construction and infrastructure segments of our business as Russia continues to recover from the effects of the global economic downturn of the past two years. As one of Moscow's most longstanding and stable construction companies, we believe we are very well positioned to benefit from the upturn in Russia's real estate market."

PMR, a market intelligence firm focused on Central and Eastern Europe, recently forecasted that the Russian construction market will enter a full-fledged recovery period in 2011.
