In order to get precise short names of the rest companies (except KAZAKHMYS PLC) necessary to put JSC before the names given in the table, and the name itself to put in the inverted commas. Notes to table Market capitalization of the company - value equals to product of quantity of company's shares (common and preferred), being in circulation, and the price of the last deal made on KASE in these shares. Quantity of the paid shares is determined by KASE as the difference between the number of announced shares and the number of shares on issue or reissue accounts of an issuer (including the nominal holding), and also shares, which by data of the nominal holder are in ownership of the issuer. Noticeable, KASE takes into account new value of quantity of paid shares counting on market capitalization not on the date of excerpt making from register, but on date of receiving of this excerpt by stock exchange (to more accurate to say, on the date of its processing by stock exchange). Disadvantages of this method are evident. However, application of another method is not deemed as necessary, as KASE calculates capitalization index daily, takes into account it at values of indexes and cannot recalculate these indexes by back date. Pursuant to Listing Regulation the companies, whose securities are included into KASE's official list, are obliged, at present, to submit excerpts from register system of shareholders at the beginning of each calendar quarter. Each excerpt is processed by KASE either in the day of receiving or other working day. However, many issuers present excerpts as of date fixed in it with a significant delay (from several days till several months). Frankly speaking, among companies submitting excerpts with deep delay as a rule are production organizations with rarely changing authorized capital. Under calculation of market capitalization the companies on KASE still use the price of the last deal despite that whether this deal was market or nego. If on any shares of any company deals were not made on KASE, and at that, the authorized body in the old legal field had registered all issues of such shares, face value of the share was taken into account of capitalization. If the issue of shares was registered in a new legal field (i.e. the meaning of face value of a share exists only for founders of companies under fee formation), on absence of deals in shares of this issue their market value is equaled to zero. Market capitalization index is calculated in Kazakhstan tenge. It is converted into USD at weighted average rate of tenge against USD, efficient on the date of ranking formation. Share of the company, % - index, obtained by referring market capitalization of the company to summary capitalization of stock exchange's market of shares of official list of securities of KASE and expressed in percentage. At closing of the market on December 29 of 2006 this index made 56,611.4 m. USD. 93 shares of 68 issuers were in official list of securities of KASE. [2007-01-03]
