The credit status  "Sibneft" will be leveled with credit status " YUKOS " in process of association of the companies and will base on credit quality of the incorporated company - "YukosSibneft". As it is supposed, "Sibneft" will leave from the list CreditWatch, when the conditions of the agreement and will be finally clear when the bargain will be officially approved by assemblies of the shareholders and regulating bodies. The ratings " Sibneft " will be leveled with ratings "YukosSibneft ", if the interests of its creditors will not be restrained by structure of the bargain.

Standard and Poor's believes, that the incorporated company, as well as YUKOS and "Sibneft", will demonstrate high parameters of money flows, profit, of operational efficiency and realizes advantage of some increase diversification of assets. However as practically all basic assets are located in Russia, the company will be subject to risks connected to business dealing in Russian Federation (a rating on the obligations in national currency: ВВ +/stable; a rating under the obligations in foreign currency: ВВ/STABLE), and also risks reflecting branch specificity, such as high sensitivity to fluctuations of the prices on petroleum, transport restrictions, low prices of petroleum on a home market, changeable and not always transparent system of regulation. The credit status of the new company will depend appreciably on financial policy, and also level of the debt and reserves of liquidity after end of merge.
