INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Zepter banka A.D., Beograd We have audited the accompanying financial statements (page 3 to 36) of Zepter banka A.D., Beograd (the Bank ), which comprise the balance sheet as of, and the related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing of the Republic of Serbia and regulations of the National Bank of Serbia related to financial reporting of the banks. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and the Law on Accounting and Auditing of the Republic of Serbia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zepter banka A.D., Beograd as of, and its financial performance, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing of the Republic of Serbia, regulations of the National Bank of Serbia related to financial reporting of the banks and basis for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements disclosed in the Note 2 to the financial statements. (Continues)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Zepter banka A.D., Beograd (Continued) Emphasis of Matter Without qualifying our opinion we draw attention to the following matters: a) As disclosed in Note 23b to the financial statements, the Bank is required to maintain certain minimum or maximum ratios with respect to its activities and composition of risk assets in compliance with the Law on Banks and with the National Bank of Serbia Regulations. As of, all ratios were within their prescribed limits, except for the ratio of the open foreign currency position that due to the booking entries made in the period up to February 28, 2007 with the value date amounted to 31 percent of the Bank s core capital (prescribed maximum 30 percent). b) As disclosed in Note 27b to the financial statements, on February 22, 2007, the Bank's management was informed by external lawyer office representing the Bank in the dispute, that the Commercial court, deciding in the subject matter of Sartid a.d. bankruptcy assets as a plaintiff vs. Bank as a defendant, decided in favor of plaintiff. On February 23, 2007 the Bank filed an appeal with Higher Commercial court as a second instance court. According to the external lawyer office, Higher Commercial court should accept reasoning from the appeal and revoke primary court decision by reason of major violation of the litigation provisions and misusage of material law.

1. BANK S ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATING POLICY Zepter banka A.D., Beograd (the Bank ) was established as a privately-held bank on July 9, 1992 under the name of Mešovita banka (MB) Zepter banka, Beograd. Under the July 14, 1995 Decision on the Foundation of Zepter banka, a Shareholding Entity, the Founding Statutes of MB Zepter banka D.D., Beograd ceased to be effective. By the aforecited decision, the Bank s business activities were harmonized to comply with the provisions of the Law on Banks and Other Financial Institutions. On June 9, 1995, the National Bank of Yugoslavia approved the Agreement on the Establishment of Zepter Banka A.D., Beograd. The Bank is registered in the Republic of Serbia to provide a wide range of banking services related to payment transfers, credit and deposit activities in the country and abroad, and in accordance with the Republic of Serbia Law on Banks, is to operate based on principles of liquidity, security of placements and profitability. At the Bank was comprised of a Head Office domiciled in Belgrade, at the address of Bulevar M. Pupina 117, and of eleven branch offices (: eleven branch offices) located in the major cities of: Zrenjanin, Valjevo, Niš, Kragujevac, Pančevo, Čačak, Novi Sad, Subotica, Kruševac, Novi Pazar and Velika Plana. As of and the Bank had 252 and 231 employees, respectively. The Bank s corporate taxpayer identification number is 100000418. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements Pursuant to the Law on Accounting and Auditing (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia no. 46 of June 2, ), legal entities and enterprises incorporated in Serbia are required to maintain their books of account, to recognize and value assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and to present, submit and disclose financial statements in conformity with the prevailing legislation and professional rules which include: the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (the Framework ), International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as the related interpretations representing an integral part of these standards. Pursuant to its Decision numbered 011-00-738-2003-01 of December 30, 2003, the Republic of Serbia Ministry of Finance determined and issued the Framework and IAS that were applied as of 2002, and upon which both the previous and the newly-enacted Law on Accounting and Auditing were based. The amendments to the IAS and to the newly-issued IFRS released after the adoption of the previous Law on Accounting and Auditing, have not been published and officially enacted in the Republic of Serbia, and accordingly, they have not been applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. The management is assessing the impact of the changes to the IAS, the newly-issued IFRS and to the interpretations to the financial statements. Although the majority of these changes are not applicable to the Bank s operations, the Bank s management does not express an explicit and unreserved statement in the accompanying financial statements of compliance with IAS and IFRS, which have been applied in the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. 7

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.1. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (Continued) The accompanying financial statements are presented in the format prescribed under the Guidelines on the Prescribed Form and Content of the Financial Statements of Banks and Other Financial Institutions (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia no. 8 of January 23, 2007). Such statements represent the complete set of financial statements as defined under the law, which differ from those defined under the provisions of IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 7, Cash Flow Statements, and differ in some respects, from the presentation of certain amounts as required under the aforementioned standards. The Bank did not apply the new accounting policies (Notes 3.1 and 3.5 to the financial statements) as required under the provisions of IAS 8, Net Income and Loss For the Period, Fundamental Errors and Changes in Accounting Policies, in accordance which the financial statements, including comparative figures for the previous period, are restated as if the new accounting policy had always been applied, with a corresponding adjustment made to the opening balance of retained earnings. In accordance with the above-described matters, these financial statements as of, and for the year ended cannot be described as having been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Bank has adhered to the accounting policies described in Note 3, which are in conformity with the accounting, banking and tax regulations prevailing in the Republic of Serbia. The Bank s financial statements are stated in thousands of dinars (RSD). The dinar is the official reporting currency in the Republic of Serbia. 2.2. Comparative Figures The accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements for the year ended differ from the IFRS requirements in the following significant respects: In, the Bank s management estimated allowances for the impairment of financial instruments in accordance with the relevant NBS Regulations. Such a policy results in departures from the amounts which would be determined, had the allowances for the impairment of financial instruments been estimated based on discounted expected future cash flows by applying the original effective interest rate, as required by IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. In the comparative figures for the year ended, loan origination fees are credited to income when the respective service has been performed. According to the provisions of IAS 18, Revenue and IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, these fees are considered as being an integral part of generating an ongoing involvement with the resultant financial instrument, and should be deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest yield. In order to conform the presentation of figures to the current reporting period, certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts reported in the financial statements for the year ended. 8

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.3. Use of Estimates The presentation of the financial statements requires the Bank s management to make best estimates and reasonable assumptions that effect the: assets and liabilities amounts, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and receivables as of the date of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the income and expenses arising during the accounting period. These estimations and assumptions are based on information available to us, as of the date of preparation of the financial statements. However, actual results may vary from these estimates. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 3.1. Income and Expense Recognition Interest income and interest expense, including penalty interest and operating income and expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. Fees and commissions are accrued when earned or due. Fee and commission income from loan origination fees is recognized in the Statement of Income on a proportional basis throughout the repayment period of the loan. In, fee and commission income from loan origination fees was recognized when collected or due. The Bank has not retrospectively applied the new accounting policy, which represents a departure from IAS 8, Net Income or Loss of the Period, Fundamental Errors and Changes in Accounting Policy, pursuant to which the financial statements including comparable information for the previous period, are to be presented as though the new accounting policy had always been in effect, and each adjustment or correction that arises as a result, is to be stated as an adjustment of the retained earnings at the beginning of the period. 3.2. Foreign Exchange Translation Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into dinars at official exchange rates at the date of each transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into dinars by applying the official exchange rates that are prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising upon the translation of transactions, and the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are credited or charged to the statement of income. Off-balance-sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into dinars by applying the official exchange rates that are prevailing at the balance sheet date. 9

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.3. Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets Property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets as of are stated at their revalued cost less accumulated depreciation. The revaluation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was performed up to 2002, in accordance with accounting regulations prevailing at that time, by applying the officially published coefficients derived from the movements in the consumer price index, to the cost and accumulated depreciation, so as to approximate their replacement cost. The revalued net book value of property and equipment and intangible assets as of 2003 is recognized as a deemed cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on a straight-line basis to the cost or revalued cost of property, equipment and intangible assets, in order to write them off over their useful lives. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the following prescribed rates: Buildings 1.3% Computers 20.0% Other equipment 10.0% - 16.5% Intangible assets 20% The depreciation of property, plant and equipment commences at the moment in which the respective asset is placed into use. 3.4. Loans and Advances Originated by the Bank Loans originated by the Bank are stated at the amount of principal outstanding, less allowances for impairment, which are based on an evaluation of specifically-identified exposures, and also on the coverage of losses that are inherent in the Bank s loan portfolio. The Bank s management applies the methodology prescribed by the NBS in its evaluation of the risks and respective estimations of the allowances (Note 3.5). Loans, that are disbursed in dinars and index-linked to the dinar-euro exchange rate or to the officially published coefficients derived from the changes in the consumer price index, are revalued in accordance with the covenants delineated under the individual loan agreements. The effects of such revaluation are included under gains and losses on the valuation of financial assets. 3.5. Allowances for Impairment and Provisions for Contingent Liabilities The Bank makes an allowance for the entire amount of the outstanding receivable balances that are overdue, if, as per management s assessment, the receivables are deemed as being unrecoverable.

Estimated amount of allowance for impairments and provision for contingent liabilities are charged to the Statement of Income. 10

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.5. Allowances for Impairment and Provisions for Contingent Liabilities (Continued) Special reserve for potential losses is determined in accordance with the requirements of the relevant NBS Regulation. Loans, other placements, guarantees, and other on- and off-balancesheet exposures are classified into the categories A, B, V, G and D, in accordance with the evaluation of their collectability and associated risk exposures, which depends upon the number of days the payments are in arrears, the financial standing of the counterparty, and the quality of the collateral obtained on the exposures. An estimate of the allowances for impairment and the provision for contingent liabilities is calculated by applying the percentages in the range 1-2%, 5-15%, 20-35%, 40-75% and 100 on the amounts of the particular exposures classified into categories A, B, V, G and D, respectively. Difference between the amount of special reserve for potential losses calculated in accordance with the National Bank of Serbia requirements, and the amount of allowance for impairments and provision for contingent liabilities estimated in accordance with the internally adopted methodology, is presented as reserve within the equity and is charged to retained earnings. Special reserve for potential losses is set aside as appropriation of retained earnings. If current year profit and retained earnings from prior years are not sufficient to cover estimated amount of special reserve, the difference is recognized as additionally required provision. As of, allowance for impairment and provision for contingent liabilities have been determined in accordance with the relevant NBS regulations that were in effect at that time. The Bank has not retrospectively applied newly adopted internal methodology for the calculation of impairment losses, which represents a departure from IAS 8, Net Income or Loss of the Period, Fundamental Errors and Changes in Accounting Policy, pursuant to which the financial statements including comparable information for the previous period, are to be presented as though the new accounting policy had always been in effect, and each adjustment or correction that arises as a result, is to be stated as an adjustment of the retained earnings at the beginning of the period. A write-off of uncollected receivables is performed either pursuant to a court order, or based on a settlement agreed between the parties involved, or otherwise, on the basis of a resolution of the Bank s Board of Directors, as further approved by the Shareholders Assembly. 3.6. Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions Securities purchased from the National Bank of Serbia under agreement to resell, pursuant to the provisions of the NBS Agreement on the Sale of Securities with an Obligation to Repurchase are stated at amortized cost at the balance sheet date. 3.7. Trading Securities Trading securities are comprised of foreign currency public savings bonds and are initially recognized at cost, and are valued at their market values at the balance sheet date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses, arising on sale and remeasurement of these securities are stated within Net gains and losses on the sale of securities. 11

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.8. Securities Available-for-Sale Securities available-for-sale comprise investments in the equity of related and other legal entities, for which, an active market and reliable market values, do not presently exist. Securities availablefor-sale are stated at cost less allowances for impairment. All realized gains arising on sale are shown under Net gains on the sale of securities. 3.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances on the current accounts held with the National bank of Serbia and with other banks. 3.10. Managed Funds and Non-Operating Assets and Funds The Bank manages funds on behalf of, and for the account of third parties, thereby charging fees for these services. These items have not been included in the Bank s balance sheet. 3.11. Employee Benefits The Bank does not have defined benefit plans or share-based remuneration options as of. The management believes that the present value of the future obligations to employees with respect to retirement benefits and jubilee anniversary awards are not materially significant as of. 3.12. Income Taxes Current Income Tax Current income tax represents the amount calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Law effective in the Republic of Serbia. The annual corporate income tax is payable at the rate of 10% on the tax base reported in the annual income tax return, as reduced by any applicable tax credits. The taxable base includes the profit stated in the statutory statement of income, as adjusted for permanent differences that are specifically defined under local tax rules. The effective tax regulations in the Republic of Serbia do not allow any tax losses of the current period to be used to recover taxes paid within a specific carryback period. However, any current year losses may be used to reduce or eliminate taxes to be paid in future periods, but only for a duration of no longer than ten ensuing years. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income tax is determined using the balance sheet liability method, for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities components, and their carrying values in the consolidated financial statements. The currently-enacted tax rates at the balance sheet date are used to determine the deferred income tax amount. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and the tax effects of income tax losses and credits available for carry forward, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which deferred tax assets may be utilized. 12

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.13. Fair Value The accompanying financial statements are prepared on an historical cost basis, including adjustments and provisions made to reduce assets to their estimated recoverable amounts. It is the policy of the Bank to disclose the fair value information of those financial assets and financial liabilities for which published market information is readily and reliably available, and whose fair value is materially different from their recorded amounts. Sufficient market experience, stability and liquidity do not exist for the purchase and sale of loans and other financial assets or liabilities, given that published market information is not readily available. Hence, fair value cannot reliably be determined. In the opinion of management, the reported recoverable amounts represent the most valid and useful reporting values in accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing of the Republic of Serbia and the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia which govern the financial reporting of banks. 4.
