The results are on a stand alone basis of the companies without taking into consideration any intercompany eliminations. In the consolidated result of Eurohold Bulgaria has been written off deferred tax liability amounting to BGN 12.56 million due to the discretion of the management which takes into account the requirements of Standard FRS 12 Income Taxes. The deferred tax liability was accrued in 2008 and 2009 as a result of a reporting of a financial income from investment operations related to the insurance sub-holding. Under Standard FRS 12 the Company is entitled to write off a deferred tax liability in respect of both criteria, namely the company controls the period of reverse occurrence of the temporary difference and it is probable this temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The company applies an accounting policy adopted for the entire group deferred tax liabilities and therefore the two amounts written off and accruing respectively in 2008 and 2009. The result of the continuing operations for the year is a loss amounting to BGN 2.3 million compared to a profit in amount of BGN 1.2 million for the previous year.

The capital of the company increased with total BGN 64,847,364 - from BGN 62,497,636 to BGN 127,345,000. The non-current consolidated liabilities decreased with 70 per cent from BGN 234.6 million as of the end of 2010 to BGN 163.8 million as of 31 th December 2011.

The current liabilities of the Group registered growth with 28.6 per cent and amounted to BGN 208.3 million compared to BGN 162 million as of the end of 2010.

The trend of growth in non-motor lines compared to 2010 continues during the period Property and Accident grow with 90 % and 29 % respectively.

According to preliminary financial reports for 2011 the consolidated net result is loss at the amount of BGN 11.2 mln compared to loss of BGN 4.3 mln for the previous year. The increase in the net loss is due mainly to the increase in the technical reserves as of the end of the period compared to previous year end and the related increased expenses.

Consolidated Interim Management Report, 31 December 2011 During the reporting period from 1 January 2011 till 31 December 2011 the following material events have taken place in the activity of the group subsidiaries: Euroins Bulgaria During 2011 Euroins Bulgaria AD (Euroins) realises gross written premiums at the amount of BGN 76.5 mln or 6.4 % increase compared to the same period of previous year when the gross written premiums were BGN 71.9 mln. The increase is due to MTPL insurance and Green card that have increased with BGN 10.6 mln. or 36.6 % compared to 2010. The company continues to follow its strategy to maintain a reasonable level of MTPL premium whereas for the year the average risk premium has increased from BGN 131 to BGN 179 as a result of price increase and significant decrease in acquisition expenses. For 2011 Euroins reports a net profit at the amount of BGN 170 thousand, compared to loss of BGN 2.2 mln for the previous year. The motor insurance lines still keep the largest share in the portfolio of the company during the period i.e. Motor Hull has 27.4 % and MTPL has 51.7 % or total of 79.1 % of gross written premiums.

Claims ratio, net of reinsurance for the period is 68.8 %. The change in both indicators is due to the increase in incurred but not reported claims reserves for MTPL insurance during 2011. The company continues to follow successfully its long-term strategy for optimization of its operating expenses, as its administrative expenses for the period are at the amount of BGN 8.6 mln, or with 16 % lower than the same period of 2010 when they were BGN 10.2 mln. There has been significant improvement in acquisition expenses with 2.7 percentage points compared to 2010 whereas the net acquisition expense ratio in 2011 is 28 %.

During the fourth quarter of 2011 Euroins Bulgaria introduced new tariffing factors for MTPL insurance aiming at more accurate determination of risk and attraction of low-risk clients. Since November 2011 Euroins has started sales of new Motor Hull insurance product that represents a unique combination between insurance and free of charge technical inspection. During the twelve months of 2011 the company made numerous changes in its activities aiming at meeting the new regulatory requirements as well as improving customer service.

Consolidated Interim Management Report, 31 December 2011 Regarding the new Law for tax on insurance premiums (in force as of 01.01.2011) since 01.01.2011 Euroins Bulgaria has started using new forms for insurance policies where the amount of tax is calculated on a separate row. In order to offer a better service to its customers the company has designed an electronic calculator for calculating MTPL premium which is available on the internet site of Euroins Bulgaria. A new service has been offered where customers receive an SMS message 2 weeks before the expiration of their policies. On 02.05.2011 a new Motor Hull insurance product has been introduced named I choose Euroins which is tailored for vehicles up to 6 th years old from the date of manufacture and for new cars purchased from an official car dealer and paid in cash. As of 01.07.2011 the tariff of Motor Hull insurance has been changed and as of 18.07.2011 new General terms and conditions have been applied for this insurance. Euroins Bulgaria is the first insurance company that received certificate for access to the Uniform information system for assessment, management and control of risk (UISAMCR) of the Guarantee fund. As a result since 01.06.2011 the company started issuing e- policies for MTPL insurance in 750 points of sales in the whole country where technical equipment and trained staff are available. Since 01.06.2011 the company issues e- policies for Personal Accident Insurance of Passengers in the Public Transport where the policy number is generated by UISAMCR.

Euroins Romania For 2011 Euroins Romania reports gross written premiums of BGN 143.1 mln. or 4% decrease compared to the same period of 2010. Property and Liability lines of business register a healthy growth of 237% and 46% respectively compared to 2010.

A decline in GWP is evidenced in Motor Hull and MTPL insurance lines, with 52% and 4% respectively, which is due to the decrease of average premium compared to 2010 and also to the focused efforts of the company aiming at increasing of non-motor insurance lines. The company reports positive investment result for the period. The net result is negative at the amount of BGN 11.3 mln, due to technical loss which is a result of the rational policy of the management applied for the evaluation of technical reserves. During the period Euroins Insurance Group participates in several tranches of share capital increase of Euroins Romania with total amount of BGN 11.6 mln. and increases its share from 89.71% to 92.17%. During the reporting period Euroins Romania introduces several new products that are created especially for the Romanian market like Travel insurance by SMS and Home assistance insurance. The new products are created as a result of the growing requirements of Romanian insurance market. The company also puts efforts in improvement of its existing products, e.g. Medical expenses during travel outside the country. During the period the company prepares analysis and risk segmentation of MTPL and Casco products. New tariffs for both products have been implemented as of middle of October as a result of the analysis. Additional tariffing factors are added like regions (45 classes), age of owner, engine power, car model. Three types of Casco products have been developed glass breakage, collision only and comprehensive. Along with the introduction and sale of new products, Euroins Romania puts efforts in improvement of its operating activity in the two main areas of the insurance business: - Claims handling department continues to improve its internal rules and procedures during the period. The performance of the inspectors that are in charge for claims handling is evaluated using new criteria. - The newly implemented procedures for control of the receivable collection bring about the improvement of the results of the company. Euroins Macedonia For 2011 Euroins Macedonia reports gross written premiums of BGN 14.5 mln. or an increase of 4% compared to the same period of 2010. The increase is due to the new contracts signed with large clients.

The net result for the year is profit of BGN 100 thousand, and it is at level of previous year when the loss was BGN 3 thousand. A number of new statutory regulations have been introduced during the period including: rules for calculation of technical reserves, rules for receivables evaluation, regulations for actuary report, for calculation of liquidity coefficient, for minimum liquidity kevel and for types and characteristics of the assets covering the technical reserves, new limits for

Consolidated Interim Management Report, 31 December 2011 investments in Macedonia and abroad, and many others.

The substantial decrease of the loss is mainly due to the realized increase of the revenues from sales as compared to 2010 of BGN 97,680 thousand to BGN 107,066 thousand for 2011, to the decrease of the operating expenses, as well as to the decrease of the interest expenses which has been accomplished through an optimization of the working capital within the automotive holding.

INFLUENCE OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2011 The Management Board is not aware of any other important events occurred in the fourth quarter of 2011, which could affect the financial results of the company. DESCRIBTION OF THE KEY RISK FACTORS 1. Systematic risks Influence of the global economic and financial crisis The global financial crisis, which started in 2007, led in many countries (including the US, EU countries, Russia, and Japan) to a slowdown of economic growth and an increase in unemployment, limited access to sources of financing and a significant devaluation of financial assets worldwide. The financial crisis also caused significant disturbances on the global financial market which led to reduced confidence on financial markets and, thus, difficulties of entities in the financial sector with maintaining liquidity and raising financing. Also, the crisis on the global financial market may affect the non banking financial services sector and the sale of the range of products and services by the Group, particularly driven by the possible further decrease in unemployment and drop in disposable incomes. Deterioration in the regional financial system and markets coupled with corresponding low consumer consumption rates could seriously lower sales across all divisions of the Group and thus may also adversely affect the Group s outlook, results and financial situation. Risks related to the general macroeconomic, political and social situation, and government policy The macroeconomic situation and the growth rate in the Balkans (Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia) are of key importance to the development of the Group, as well as government policy, particularly the regulatory policy and the decisions taken by the respective National Banks affecting such external factors as money supply, interest rates and exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation rate, budget deficit and foreign debt, and unemployment rate and income structure. Changes in the demographic structure, mortality or morbidity rate are also important elements affecting the Group s development. The above external factors, as well as other unfavorable political, military or diplomatic developments leading to social instability may lead to a curb on higher-level consumer expenditures, including limitation of funds allocated for insurance coverage, car buying and leasing. Consequently, gross premiums written may decrease and clients may tend to resign from contracts already executed, as well as postpone new car purchases and correspondingly new car leases. Any deterioration of the region s macroeconomic ratios may also adversely affect insurance products, car sales and lease contract origination. Therefore, there is a risk that if the business environment broadly deteriorates Group overall sales may be lower than originally planned. Also, general changes in government policy and regulatory systems may lead to an increase in the Group s operating expenses and capital requirements. If the above factors occur, fully or partially, they could have a significant adverse impact on the Group s outlook, results and financial situation.

Consolidated Interim Management Report, 31 December 2011 Political risk This is the risk arising from political processes in the country - the risk of political instability, changes in government principles, legislation and economic policy. Political risk is directly related to the likelihood of unfavorable changes in the direction of governmental long-term policies. As a result there is a danger of adverse changes in the business climate. Long-term political environment in the Balkans (Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia) is stable and does not imply greater risks for future economic policies. The integration of the countries in the Balkans with the EU, along with their consistent domestic and foreign policies, ensure the absence of shocks and significant changes in policies in the future Sovereign credit risk Credit risk represents the likelihood of worsening of the international credit rating of Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia. Low credit ratings could lead to higher interest rates, more restrictive financing terms for business enterprises, including the Company. The credit rating agencies are giving positive assessments of the region during the ongoing crisis, thanks to sound fiscal policies and effective structural reforms. The best example of disciplined fiscal policy is the increased credit rating of Bulgaria to Baa by Moody s at the end of July 2011 indeed, the highest credit rating in the Balkans. The policies which in the long-run shall preserve the current fiscal stability are: Controlling the size, dynamics and servicing of all financial commitments and debts, both domestic and external; Development and implementation of a uniform policy on public debt management, whose fundamental essence is aimed at ensuring a smooth budget funding and refinancing of maturing debt at minimum mid and long-term rates and at an optimal level of risk; Development and implement of a funding policy, while also exercising control over openmarket transactions with government securities, the issuance of permits for prime brokerage, along with the implementation of policies aimed at the development of an efficient, transparent and liquid secondary market for government securities; Monitoring the proper servicing of all financial liabilities which a guarantee has been issued for and on behalf of the state, as well as providing complete and accurate data on consolidated public indebtedness, including government debt, municipal debt and well-fare and pension liabilities; Identifying and monitoring possible risks that may arise during the implementation of the strategic goals set forward; Taking appropriate and timely actions to minimize or avoid the impact of identified risks and their potential negative effects. Inflation risk Inflation risk is associated with the possibility inflation to adversely impact real returns. Inflation may affect the amount of expenses of the Issuer as a large part of the company's liabilities are interest bearing. Servicing them is related prevailing current interest rates, which reflect levels of inflation in the country. Therefore, low inflation rates in the countries of operation, is seen as a significant factor in the Company. Currency risk

Consolidated Interim Management Report, 31 December 2011 This risk is related to the possibility of devaluation of a local currency. In the case of Bulgaria this is the risk of a premature collapse of the Monetary Board and the drastic change in corresponding fixed exchange rate of the national currency. The official government and central bank policy are expected to maintain the currency board country to the adoption of the euro area. In Romania, Serbia and Macedonia the exchange rates are determined by free market forces and rare interventions by central banks are driven primarily by sharp market movements in FX rates, caused by one-time extrinsic factors. Any significant devaluation of currencies in the region (Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and Serbian) can have a significant adverse effect on businesses in the country, including that of the Company. Risks exist when revenues and expenditures of a firm are derived in different currencies. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is related to the possibility of changes in the prevailing interest rates in a country. Its impact is most obvious on the Net Income of a firm, as in cases of increases in underlying interest rates, should the firm fund itself with leverage. Interest rate risks are part of general macro-economic risks, as it is most likely driven by instability and perceived risk in the overall financial system. This risk is best handled through the balanced use of multiple sources of funding. A typical example of this risk is the ongoing global economic crisis, caused by capital shortage and liquidity squeeze in large mortgage lenders and financial institutions in the U.S. and Europe. As a result of the crisis, the required interest rate premium were re-evaluated and consequently dramatically increased globally. The effect of the crisis on Balkans is very tangible and has hampered access to leverage. Increases in general interest rate levels, ceteris paribus, would impact the cost of leverage used by the company in its business development efforts. In parallel, such changes could adversely impact the expenses of the Firm, as a large portion of the Firm s financial liabilities are interest bearing and have a floating interest rate component. 2. Unsystematic risks Risk relating to the business operations of the Company EuroHold Bulgaria AD is а holding company and any deterioration in the operating results, financial position and growth prospects of its subsidiaries may adversely affect financial position of the Company. The Company is involved in managing assets and other companies and thus cannot be specifically attributed to being exposed to one particular industry segment. Broadly, the Company is focused on the industry segment (1) non-banking financial service (leasing, insurance, asset management, brokerage and financial intermediation) and (2) new car sales and services. The main risk facing EuroHold is the possibility of decreasing revenue across business segments. This could possibly impact the dividends received. Correspondingly, this could have a negative effect on consolidated revenue growth and respectively return on equity. The largest business risk comes from the largest business segment of the Company namely the general insurance operations, as the subsidiaries operating in Bulgaria, Romania and Macedonia bring a very significant portion of the Firm s overall revenues.

Consolidated Interim Management Report, 31 December 2011 The activities of all subsidiaries of the Company are adversely affected by continued increases in market prices of fuel and electricity that are subject to international supply and demand and are determined by factors far beyond the Firm s control. The largest business risk comes from the largest business segment of the Company namely the general insurance operations, as the subsidiaries operating in Bulgaria, Romania and Macedonia bring a very significant portion of the Firm s overall revenues. The major risks in the leasing business stem from the needs of the regional leasing subsidiaries to raise sufficient leverage at favorable interest rates, which in turn leaves them room to grow and provides proper interest margins that drive profitability. The leading leasing subsidiary is EuroLease Auto which is the Bulgarian operating company. As such it has issued several tranches of public bonds traded on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) and thus has publicly disclosed a lot of information, including certain risk considerations. Eurohold s Brokerage and Asset management arm is Euro-Finance AD. The risks associated with financial intermediation, brokerage and asset management relate to the overall general financial markets condition and the inherent volatility, along with the investment awareness and activeness of the general audience. The car-sales segment which is present only in Bulgaria and is hosted under the umbrella of Avto Union AD is active in new car sales and also provides after-sales services to customers. Along with that, it provides rent-a-car services under short and long-term operating lease contracts. The ability to sell certain brands is a result of having a valid license issued by the OEMs to market and sell a given brand on the local market. Should such licenses and agreement be revoked, the impact on sales and the financial position of the company could be materially negative. This is particularly important, given the ongoing global restructuring and repositioning of car brands and manufacturers. The business environment in the automotive industry could be dramatically impacted by purely internal drivers related to general purchasing power, access to lease-financing, general business sentiment, inventory levels, etc. Deterioration in the performance of one or more subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration of the results on a consolidated basis. This in turn, is related to the price of the Company s shares as equity markets reflect the business potential and total net assets of the Group as a whole. Strategic development risks Future earnings and market value of the company depend on the strategy chosen by the senior management team of the company and its subsidiaries. Choosing the wrong strategy could lead to significant losses. Eurohold seeks to manage the risk of strategic errors by continuous monitoring of various stages in the implementation of its marketing strategy and financial performance. It is absolutely crucial to be able to respond quickly if a sudden change is needed at some stage in the strategic development plan. Untimely or inappropriate changes in strategy may also have a significant negative impact on the Company's operating results and financial position. Risks related to the management of the company The following risks are related to the management of the company: Poor investment management and liquidity management decisions by either top management or other senior employees; Inability to launch and execute new projects under development;
