MOSCOW, April 19 (RIA Novosti) - No applications have been received by the deadline for a sixth auction for smaller assets of the now bankrupt oil company Yukos [RTS: YUKO], Russia's federal property fund said Thursday. Yukos, once Russia's largest oil company, was declared bankrupt August 1, 2006, after three years of litigation with tax authorities over the company's tax arrears. The initial price of the lot for the sixth auction scheduled for April 20 was 3.13 million rubles (about $121,240), with a bid increment of 31,000 rubles (about $1,200), the fund said. The first auction held March 27 to sell Yukos' 9.44% stake in state-controlled crude producer Rosneft was won by Rosneft's subsidiary RN-Razvitiye, which offered 197.84 billion rubles for the lot (about $7.6 billion), compared with the lot's initial price of slightly over 195.5 billion rubles (about $7.5 billion).
