Introductory words from the President of the Board of Directors Dear shareholders, dear business friends, In 2009 we had grown like mushrooms after a rainfall, so to speak, to reach excellent economic results in and very dynamic development, and we kept pace with it. Thus, it is not too peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojiš�ovna the much needed and formerly somewhat neglected stabilization of internal processes and implementation of internal control mechanisms, plus solid economic results, as a bonus, as well as unprecedented double-digit growth beyond the expectations outlined in the business plan. In the course of the year, Maxima pojiš�ovna underwent a drill in the effort to acquire the ISO 9001 Quality Management Certificate from the certification authority, Bureau Veritas. During routine activities, the internal auditor applies rules that simultaneously constitute part of the standard and exact internal control system with quick feedback. In the personnel area we have built up a stable team comprising of an adequate number of qualified professionals able to cover the company’s current needs, including reinforcement of our actuary section. Our financial backing reports that Maxima pojiš�ovna’s collaboration in this fiscal period on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has meaningfully contributed to stability and controlled development, stating that we have been enjoying adequate capacity for the individual types of insurance cover we offer. In the light of the company’s business plan, we have attained excellent results thanks to enormous growth in the segment of urgent medical care for foreigners. However, the next period will very likely bring an objective picture of the attained result’s reality in this segment, thus presumably opening natural room for growth in other segments of the insurance market. In terms of absolute economic assessment, I state with confidence that the year we have just close was a successful one. There is no doubt about it. Yet, I do look out towards the year 2011 with a sense of impatience, in anticipation of a new phenomenon to emerge in the near future. Therefore, let’s keep looking out, checking out, and verifying facts – and if you happen to share my gut feeling, go ahead investing with us.

Ing. Rudolf Bubla President of the Board of Directors

The Insurance Market and Business Results According to the results of the Czech Insurance Association (�AP), the Czech insurance market generated premium written in the amount of CZK 151,135 mil in 2010. In life insurance, the premium written amounted to CZK 70,541 mil and in non-life insurance CZK 80,594 mil. The increase in the premium written, as per �AP, amounted to 8 %. Compared to the growth of the premium written for the whole market, Maxima pojiš�ovna’s growth was more progressive but, unfortunately, not in all lines of insurance business. The company’s overall business, compared to the year prior (2009), grew by 78.3 %. This can be assessed as positive. From the perspective of accomplishment, the 2010 plan was superseded by 36.4 %. The company was able to adjust all its activities to its clients’ individual needs, in terms of product structure, risk coverage, as well as price setting. Thanks to its size, the company is also able to draw up made-to-measure policies with optimized content and price.

Development of the share of individual classes of cover in the overall insurance business in recent years is shown in the table below: Premium written in selected insurance classes (CZK’000)

The Company Directorate’s Business Activity Report Last year, our sales services were particularly successful in the area of urgent medical care – foreigners. Important role in it played the legislative update on foreigners’ residence visa in the CR, in effect since 1.1.2010. With its client-oriented approach, the company managed to supersede its business plan by far, mitigating thereby the decline in other products.

In the area of financial loss insurance – Maxigep, and extended warranty insurance – Maxgarant, the bottom-line figure planned was superseded as well. The great share in this result can be ascribed to the Maxgarant insurance plan of extended warranty. Tying onto the strategy set out already in 2008 and 2009, sale of products was assigned to more brokers. Moreover, the negative trend that had been hampering these products in recent years was averted, whereupon the company adopted countermeasures by increasing its rates and adjusting its General and Special Insurance Conditions.

As for comprehensive/collision insurance – Maxauto – our business plan could not be met. Due to inadequate profitability of this product, we resolved to withdraw from the frame policy we had signed with an important partner, when development of loss history began to reflect the negative effect of the previous years. We have therefore stopped offering general policies in this line of business in favor of contracting this type of cover individually through individual brokers. Cooperation with current and new acquisition agents has remained our priority, both in contracting policies with corporate and retail clientele.

In the area of property and liability insurance – Maxdomov – the company failed to meet its business plan. The results of our analysis of the causes called for complete reworking of the product due to competition in the market. The company has therefore set out more intensive cooperation with strategic partners as one of this year’s objectives. Another aim related to this product is making the policy contracting process simpler by providing it online.

In the area of life insurance – Maxlife and Maxjistota – the company was unfortunately unable to reach the targets planned. Market analysis indicated that the products should be modified, so that new alternatives of these products were prepared for the upcoming period.

Industrial and commercial insurance depends, in most cases, on collaboration with large insurance brokers and partly also on development of the situation in the group. Moreover, retention and increase of the volume in this line of business always requires a well prepared reinsurance program. Last year we managed to enter into cooperation with a strategic partner in the area of standard insurance of industries and entrepreneurs.

The Reinsurance Program Like in the years prior, existence of a good reinsurance program was prerequisite to protecting the company’s results. Maxima’s maximum liability was kept to a standard limit of CZK 5 mil., in certain individual cases with good loss history to CZK 10 mil. Since 2008, the company has been collaborating with AON/Benfield, a reinsurance broker that handles a share of about 70% of the Czech reinsurance market. Our leading reinsurer is Partner Re (S&P rating: AA-).

The company keeps its books so that its annual financial statements deriving from these records reflect a truthful and honest state of the company’s accounts and overall financial situation.

I. 4. Important Accounting Methods

(a) Long-term tangible and intangible assets

Long-term tangible and intangible assets are recorded at acquisition value.

Long-term tangible assets having acquisition value of up to CZK 40,000 and long-term intangible assets having acquisition value of up to CZK 60,000 are accounted for under expenses in the period of their acquisition. The annual depreciation rate of fiscal write-offs is based on presumed time of utilization of the tangible and intangible assets.

The company has set out the following depreciation schedules by group of assets:

Long-term assets Method Depreciation rate in % Software Even 33.33 Automobiles Even 20 Inventory Even 33.33

(articulation by substantial sub-class with the same depreciation rate)

(b) Financial Allocations (Investments)

Security bonds

Security bonds are recorded at acquisition value and at acquisition time.

Acquisition value is the price of the security bond at acquisition time, including aliquot yield from purchased interest and direct expenses related to the acquisition.

Page 22: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

22

The company amortizes the premiums and discounts on all its security bonds. The premiums and discounts are amortized in the loss and profit statement using the linear method from acquisition time until due date.

On closing date, the amortized security bonds are revaluated to real value.

Real value is understood as the market value quoted in the home or foreign stock market or another public (organized) market. The company uses the market value declared no later than the closing (balance) date, and is most proximate to that date. If the market value is not available or does not correspond to the real value adequately, the real value may be assessed by qualified estimation.

Accrued (amortized) value is understood as the value entered initially in the books (acquisition value), plus accrued accessories and adjusted by amortized discount/ premium and reduced by adjusting items.

Variances in the real value of security bonds recorded under expense and revenue accounts and under realized securities are accounted for in the P & L statement. The company’s security bonds are classified as realizable (tradable). The value of security bonds in a foreign currency is converted into the Czech currency at the current exchange rate announced by �NB (Czech National Bank), whereby the exchange rate is part of the revaluation to real value.

Shares and other securities with variable yield

Shares and other securities with variable yield are recorded at acquisition value in effect at acquisition time.

Acquisition value is understood to be the price of shares and other securities at acquisition time, including direct expenses related to their acquisition.

Shares and other securities with variable yield are revaluated to real value as of closing day.

Real value is understood as the market value announced in the home or foreign stock market or another public (organized) market. The company uses the market value declared no later than the closing (balance) date, and is most proximate to that date. If the market value is not available or does not correspond to the real value adequately, the real value may be assessed by expert’s assessment or qualified estimation based on all information available the day of the annual financial statement’s compilation.

Variances in the real value of shares and other securities with variable yield are recorded in the P & L statement.

The value of shares and other securities with variable yield quoted in a foreign currency is converted in the Czech currency at the current exchange rate announced by �NB (Czech National Bank), whereby the exchange rate is part of the revaluation to real value.

Financial allocations to corporate entities (equity shares)

Equity shares in controlled entities are understood to mean participation in third parties, in which the company has controlling interest, including cases where the company is the controlling party.

Page 23: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

23

Equity shares with substantial interest are understood to mean participation in third parties, in which the company has substantial interest. Unless proved otherwise, substantial influence means at least 20 % voting rights.

Equity shares are recorded at acquisition value and acquisition time. Acquisition value means the price of equity shares, including direct expenses related to their acquisition.

The real value of financial investments is defined by expert assessment.

Equity shares are revaluated to real value on closing (balance) day. Changes in the real value of equity shares are recorded in the balance sheet.

Deposits with financial institutions

Deposits with financial institutions are accounted for at nominal value at acquisition time. At the end of the fiscal period, these assets are revaluated to real value. For short-term deposits with financial institutions, real value means nominal value, including accrued interest.

As for deposits in a foreign currency, their value is converted into the Czech currency at the current exchange rate announced by �NB (Czech National Bank), whereby the exchange rate is part of the revaluation to real value. Changes in the real value are recorded in the P & L statement.

(c) Adjusting Items

Adjusting items are created to receivables and other assets, financial placements excepting, are recorded at real value. Adjusting items reflect temporary decline in the value of individual assets. The amount thereof is based on an expert assessment of the relevant risks by the company’s management.

Adjusting items to receivables from policyholders are determined by the company on the basis of a returnability analysis. Adjusting items are created (a) on a flat-rate basis according to the age structure of the receivables and (b) according to the risk of non-recoverability for certain cases.

(d) Permanent or Long-term Decline in Assets Value

The company conducts a test of permanent or long-term decline, as of closing day, of the value of assets that are not revaluated to real value, and of assets that are revaluated but the change in real value is accounted for in the balance sheet. Any permanent or long-term decline in the value of the given assets would be accounted for in the P & L statement.

(e) Accrued Policy Acquisition Costs

Accrued policy acquisition costs include the part of the expenses related to insurance policy contracting during the current fiscal period that applies to revenues of future fiscal periods.

Page 24: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

24

Non-life insurance

Accrued policy acquisition costs v non-life insurance, i.e., parts of expenses arising from policy contracting during the current fiscal period, have been since 2009 accounted for indirectly by reducing the relevant commissions from the base for calculation of reserves for unearned premium. This method is being used with the permission of the Czech National Bank (�NB), Ref.No. 2009/570/560 of 7 May 2009.

Life insurance

The amount of accrued policy acquisition costs in life insurance is defined on the basis of the zillmerization method for calculating premium reserves in life insurance, see I.4.(i).

(f) Revenue Tax

The revenue (income) tax for the fiscal period comprises of the tax payable and the variance in deferred tax. The payable tax is includes tax calculated from the tax base using the tax rate effective in the current fiscal year.

Deferred tax is derived from the accrued accounting and tax value of assets and liabilities using estimated tax rate for the period, in which the tax liability or tax receivable is claimed.

Deferred tax receivables should only be claimed, if there is no doubt about their legitimacy in subsequent periods.

(g) Reserve for unearned premium

Reserve for unearned premium in non-life insurance is created from the written premium base reduced by the relevant commissions applicable in subsequent accounting periods. The amount of this reserve is the total of reserves calculated by individual policy using the "pro rata temporis" method.

(h) Premium reserve in life insurance

The amount of reserve for premium in life insurance is the total of reserves calculated by individual life insurance policy. The reserve for premium in life insurance reflects the estimated value of the insurance company’s future obligations, using actuarial methods, including already acknowledged and allotted shares of profit and reserves for policy administration, after deducting future premiums.

The company calculates zillmerized reserve in accordance with individual tariffs approved by the Czech Finance Ministry. The zillmerization method is used for time differentiation of policy acquisition costs in life insurance. These costs are thereupon integrated, using actuarial methods, into the premium reserve of life insurance products. The reserve is adjusted by activating temporary negative residues and claiming them as deferred expenses. In the activation process, the principles of caution and the risk of premature policy termination are taken into account.

Page 25: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

25

(i) Reserve for claims settlement

Reserves for claims settlement in life as well as non-life insurance are created up to the amount of estimated costs of claims:

a) reported – but not settled – by the end of the current fiscal period (RBNS), b) incurred – but not reported – before the end of the current fiscal period (IBNR).

The amount of reserve for settlement of claims arising from loss claims reported by the end of the current fiscal period is determined as the total of reserves calculated per individual loss event.

As for the amount of reserve for loss events incurred but not reported before the end of the current fiscal period, it is determined using the method of development triangles, called “chain ladder”.

The claim settlement reserve also includes estimation of all contingent external and internal claim settlement costs.

When creating reserves for settling claims where the company figures as the leading co-insurer, the company proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act on Insurance Policies.

Although the company’s board of directors considers the amount of claim settlement reserves accurate information on the company’s financial statements as of the closing date, the final amount of liabilities might differ due to subsequent events or newly discovered circumstance that could be consequential in terms of significant variances in the final figures. The variances in the amount of the reserves are accounted for in the financial statement of the period in which they are discovered. The procedures and methods of estimation are audited regularly.

(j) Other technical reserves

The company does not create any other technical reserves, such as: • reserve for bonuses and discounts; • reserve for premiums in non-life insurance; • reserve for life insurance, where the policyholder bears the investment risk; • reserve for settling obligations arising from the technical interest rate used; • other technical reserves,

because the company does not offer products requiring such reserves to be created, as no inadequacy of interest appreciation or need for other technical reserves is indicated.

(k) Reinsurers’ share of mathematical technical reserves

The company records the net amount of mathematical reserves in its liabilities, i.e., after accounting for the reinsurers’ share. The amount of this share is determined on the basis of the provisions set forth in the relevant reinsurance policies and modes of settling with reinsurers, with consideration given to the principles of caution.

The company records the reinsurers’ participation in the reserve for unearned premium and reserve for claim settlement. Reinsurers do not participate in any other mathematical technical reserves.

Page 26: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

26

(l) Reserves

The purpose of reserves is to cover risks, losses, and other incidental obligations that are clearly defined and their occurrence is likely or certain, unlike the amount or time of their occurrence which are uncertain.

Reserve for taxes

The reserve for taxes is created as of the closing date and amounts to the estimated tax liability arising from the tax payable by corporate entities. The reserve is allocated the day of the company’s income tax declaration filing.

(m) Premium written

The premium written includes all the premiums due under policies contracted during the current fiscal period, irrespective of the fact whether they apply to future fiscal periods in full or in part only.

(n) Future claim settlement costs

Claim settlement costs correspond to the amounts acknowledged as payable under settled loss claims and also include the company’s external and internal claim settlement expenses. Claim settlement expenses are reduced by the company’s recourses, collections, and other similar entitlements.

Claim settlement costs are entered at the time of loss claim adjustment and determination of the amount of claim settlement.

(o) Policy acquisition costs

Policy acquisition costs include all direct and indirect expenses arising from contracting insurance policies.

(p) The costs of and revenues from financial investment

The mode of accounting for the costs of and revenues from financial investment and the distribution thereof between life and non-life insurance

The costs of and revenues from financial investments in the category of life insurance are accounted for under the mathematical technical account of life insurance.

Other costs of and revenues from financial investment that are not related to life insurance are initially recorded n the non-technical account, whereupon a proportionate part is subsequently transferred to the technical account of non-life insurance. Reallocation of the costs and revenues from financial investment is based on the ratio between the technical reserves as the key criterion.

Mode of recording realized financial investments

When recording its realized financial investment, the company uses so-called “brutto” (gross) method, according to which all revenues from realized financial investments are accounted for separately at the purchase value of the relevant financial instruments and separately as book value expenses.

Page 27: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

27

(q) Diversification of common items between life and non-life insurance

The company records common items in life and non-life insurance pursuant to the method set forth in Decree 502/2002 Coll. This method is based on diversification of individual items by relevant insurance class. Items that cannot be classified directly are diversified using the following key: the ratio of gross premium written.

The costs of and revenues from financial investment

The costs of and revenues from financial investment are diversified as life or non-life insurance using the method specified in Par. I.4.(p).

Other costs of and revenues

During the fiscal period, clearly classifiable costs and revenues are recorded directly in the technical account of life and non-life insurance or non-technical account. Costs and revenues that cannot be clearly classified are recorded primarily in the non-technical account and subsequently transferred to the technical account of life or non-life insurance. Diversification of these costs and revenues is based on the ratio of gross premium written as the key criterion.

Taxes and fees are not transferred in this manner.

(r) Conversion of foreign currencies

Transactions executed in the course of the year are converted at the exchange rate announced by the Czech National Bank (�NB) in effect the day of the transaction, or the rate applied at the time of the transaction’s realization.

Foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted as of closing day using the official �NB exchange rate in effect that day. Currency profits and losses are accounted for in the P & L statement.

(s) Consolidation

This financial statement of the company has been compiled as non-consolidated statement.

I. 5. Changes and digressions from fiscal methods and procedures In 2010, the company did not make any significant changes in its fiscal methods or procedures, nor did the company digress from these methods or procedures.

Page 28: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

28

I. 6. Risk Management

Pursuant to Decree No. 434/2009 Coll., which regulates implementation of certain provisions of the Insurance Code, the company has set up its management and control system so that all of the company’s activities are covered.

The company’s management and control system is set up so as to facilitate continuous and systematic risk management.

The company is exposed to insurance risks naturally arising from existing insurance policies as well as other risks, especially market, credit, operational, liquidity, and concentration risks.

The principles and procedures applied in risk management have been unified and integrated with the principles and procedures applied in ensuring the capital for covering these risks.

(a) Insurance risk in non-life insurance

The company is exposed to insurance risks and risks related to contracting insurance policies in connection with providing non-life insurance products.

Insurance risks arise from the uncertainties related to cover periods, frequency, and amount of losses covered under insurance policies.

The most significant part of insurance risks is the adequacy of the amount of technical reserves, as well as risks arising from the premium amount. The premium amount is set on the basis of history-based estimation, which may differ from reality. Correct estimation of the amount of reserves can significantly impact on risk trends, risk estimation, change of prerequisites (preconditions), etc. In order to eliminate risks when determining adequate amount of reserves, the company uses tests of proportionality.

For insurance risk management, the company follows internal directives for product development, determination of the amount of technical reserves, reinsurance strategies, and underwriting rules.

Insurance risks concentration

Insurance risks concentration exists in the event that a certain event or series of events can significantly impact on the company’s obligations. Insurance risks concentration is determined by the scope and impact of insured events on the amount of the company’s obligations arising above all from the amount of premiums written, as per Par. III.1 (p. 34). Risk concentration may arise from a single insurance policy or a few contingent policies, and be linked to circumstances that were consequential for the existence of the company’s significant obligations. The greatest insurance risks concentration is in accident and sickness insurance, fire insurance, and other material/property insurance and financial loss insurance.

Territorial Concentration

Most of the subscribed risks are located in the Czech Republic. Very concentrated risks that subscriber groups are exposed to regardless of geographical position apply to social, professional, or age criteria.

Page 29: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

29

(b) Insurance risks in life insurance

The company is exposed to risks arising from unfavorable development of prerequisites compared to the time of product valuation. For instance, the risk of unfavorable development of mortality or life expectancy, the risk of unanticipated development of investment revenues, or risks arising from unexpected development of cost inflation or clients’’ conduct in the event of policy cancellation. In these cases, there exists the risk of loss due to imbalance between collected premiums and paid-out claim settlement, i.e., investment revenues and expenses.

Other risks are, e.g., objective and subjective subscriber risks. Objective risks are determined by objective factors, such as age, sex, health condition, and profession. Subjective risks are determined by subjective factors, such as effort of the insured (subscriber) to preserve his life or health, or his/her poor financial situation.

Other risks that the company is exposed are:

- risks with low frequency of occurrence and significant impact of an insured event that affects several insured entities at the same time and place (e.g., elementary disaster);

- risk concentration in the form of high sums insured that might not form a significant portion of the client portfolio, yet might meaningfully impact on the amount of claim settlements and therefore also on the company’s economic results.

The aim of risk management is identification, quantification and elimination of risks, so that no changes would take place that affect the company’s economic result and own equity.

For identification, quantification, and elimination of risks, the company uses a test of reserve adequacy and calculation of product profitability. Product profitability calculation is used for determining proportionate insurance premium rates and financial guarantees on individual products.

By conducting reserve adequacy tests, the company verifies the adequacy of technical reserves in non-life insurance compared to updated expectations. These procedures are also applied for determining product profitability.

Risks that the company is exposed to are not significantly concentrated in any subscriber group.

In the area of insurance risk management, the company applies primarily a reasonable reinsurance and cautious underwriting policy.

Reinsurance strategy

The company secures some of the risks arising from insurance policies by cooperation with reinsurers with the aim of reducing the risk of loss and protecting own equity resources. The company’s reinsurance program is based on a combination of reinsurance contracts with external reinsurers.

In order to minimize its rate of risk engagement, the company contracts both proportionate and disproportionate reinsurance contracts. The maximum limits net risk engagement (own obligations) in individual insurance classes are revaluated every year. For assurance of additional protection, the company contracts facultative reinsurance treaties for certain insurance policies.

Page 30: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

30

The company collaborates with important reinsurers and monitors constantly their financial situation.

(c) Market risks

The company is exposed to market risks arising from open positions in interest, currency, and stock instruments, all of which are susceptible to general and specific fluctuations in the market.

The main risk is the possibility that revenues from financial assets would not suffice for financing obligations arising from insurance policies. Market risks are monitored, measured, and controlled on a current basis.

The main objective of managing market risks is to attain harmony or balance in the structure of assets and liabilities, particularly from the perspective of dues dates, interest rates, and currency structure. The point is to ensure that assets generate permanently adequate cash flow in the currency structure necessary for covering the company’s obligations payable to clients (including guaranteed yields) and simultaneously facilitate production of adequate profit for the company’s shareholders.

With this aim in mind, the company conducts regular monitoring of assets and liabilities. The outputs of this monitoring are used as material for decision-making on further allocations of financial investment.

Interest risks

The company is exposed to interest risks that are consequential to fluctuations of current interest rates in the market, causing the real value of and the revenues from financial investment to grow or decline.

Price volatility risk

The company is exposed to the price volatility risk, i.e., change if the value of financial instruments due to change in the market value. These changes may be accountable to factors that are specific for an individual instrument, or may be caused by their issuers or by factors impacting on all instruments tradable in the capital or financial market.

Currency risks

The company is exposed to currency risks as a consequence of transactions being executed in a foreign currency and assets and liabilities being denominated foreign currencies. As the company compiles its annual financial statement in Czech crowns, currency exchange variances have effect on the value of the Czech currency in relation to the respective currencies, thus impacting on the company’s financial statement.

In order to reduce this risk, the company has set up a fixed maximum currency risk exposure.

(d) Credit risks

The company is exposed to credit risks arising from the counterpart’s inability to pay the due amounts in full.

The main areas of the company’s exposure to credit risks:

- reinsurers' share of insurance liability

- reinsurers' debt related to loss claim already settled

Page 31: Annual Report 2010 - · PDF filetoo peculiar that 2010 brought Maxima pojišovna ... as well as unprecedented double-digit ... on its base of a high-quality reinsurance program has

31

- outstanding premium

Statement to Report on Intercompany Relations Due to increase of the company’s registered capital, entered in the Companies Register on 21.9.2007, the company’s shareholders structure has changed. Due to this change in 2010, the company had no controlling entity according to the provisions of Section §66a, Commercial Code, and was therefore not subject to the obligation to compile a report on relations between the controlling and controlled entities in the group or relations between the controlled entity and other entities controlled by the same controlling entity.

AUDITOR´S REPORT

Independent Auditor’s Statement for Shareholders of MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s. Financial Statement

Upon completing the Audit, on June 15, 2011, based on financial statements that constitute part of this Annual Report, we hereby issue the Independent Auditor’s Statement as follows:

“We have completed the audit of the Financial Statement of MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s., i.e., the Balance Sheet as of 31.12.2010, Profit and Loss Statement, Overview of Equity Capital Changes in 2010, and Annex to the Financial Statement, including description of the most important fiscal methods applied and other supplementary data. Information on MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s., is presented in Par. l of the Annex to the Financial Statement. Responsibility of the fiscal unit’s statutory body for the Financial Statement The statutory body of MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s., is responsible for compilation of the financial statement, so that it renders an accurate and honest evidence of compliance with Czech accounting regulations and internal controlling system, as is considered to be indispensable for compiling a financial statement that is free of significant discrepancies accountable to fraud or error. The auditor’s responsibility It is our responsibility to draw up a report of our audit of the company’s financial statement. We have executed the Audit in compliance with the Act on Auditors, International Auditing Standards, and contingent application clauses of the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic. Pursuant to the said regulations, we are obliged to adhere to ethical requirements and plan and conduct audits so as to attain reasonable certainty that the audited financial statement does not contain any significant inaccuracies. The execution of the Audit included certain auditing procedures with the aim of obtaining evidence of the amounts and circumstances recorded in the financial statement. The choice of auditing procedures is up to the auditor’s discretion, including assessment of the risk that the financial statement might contain significant inaccuracies accountable to fraud or error. During the assessment of these risks, the auditor evaluates the company’s internal controlling system that is relevant for the compilation of the financial statement so that it would reflect the company’s financial status accurately and honestly. The aim of this evaluation is to suggest suitable auditing procedures, not to judge the effectiveness of the fiscal unit’s internal controlling system. Furthermore, the Audit includes assessment of the suitability of the accounting methods applied, the reasonability of estimations made by the management, as well as assessment of the financial statement’s presentation as a whole. We are confident that the evidence collected provided us with adequate and appropriate material to enable us to express a qualified opinion in this Report.

The Auditor’s Statement We believe that the financial statement provides accurate and honest data on the assets and liabilities of MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s., as of 31.12.2010, as well as its expenses, revenues, and economic results in 2010, in accordance with Czech accounting regulations.

Emphasized circumstances We particularly point out to Par. II.2.d) and Par. IV.3 of the Annex to the Financial Statement which contain the presuppositions of the company’s management for the valuation of the bonds of Viachem Group, a.s., as there exists no reliable appraisal of the market value for these bonds. The company’s management had therefore resolved to assess their value on the basis of their estimated sale price. The sale transaction was completed prior to the financial statement’s compilation. This circumstance-emphasizing note does not constitute an objection on our part." Report on Intercompany Relations We have audited the accuracy of the data stated in the Report on Intercompany Relations of MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s., for the year ending December 31, 2010. Responsibility for the compilation and accuracy of this Report is on the part of the company’s statutory body of competence. Our responsibility is to issue our standpoint to the Report on the basis of our verification. During the verification we proceeded in compliance with Auditing Standards No. 56 of the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic. The Standards require us to plan and perform the verification with the aim to attain a reasonable degree of certainty that the Report of Intercompany Relations does not contain any significant factual inaccuracies. The verification process was limited primarily to asking questions of the company’s workers, using analytical methods, and proceeding selectively with the verification of the factual accuracy of the data obtained. This mode of verification therefore provides a lower degree of certainty than an audit proper. Since we have not performed a proper audit of the Report of Intercompany Relations, we do not include our standpoint on it in this Auditor’s Statement. Nevertheless, we state that our verification has not established the existence of any circumstances justifying a suspicion on our part that the Report of Intercompany Relations of MAXIMA pojiš�ovna, a.s., for the year ending 31.12.2010, contains any significant factual inaccuracies. The Annual Report We have verified concordance of the Annual Report with the Financial Statement under audit. Responsibility for the Annual Report’s accuracy is borne by the company’s statutory body of competence. Our responsibility is to issue a qualified statement on the Annual Report’s concordance with the Financial Statement. We have verified compliance with the International Auditing Standards and contingent application clauses of the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic. The Standards require us to plan and perform the verification with the aim to attain a reasonable degree of certainty that the information in the Annual Report, describing the data presented in the Financial Statement, corresponds in all important aspects to the respective Financial Statement. We are confident that the executed Audit has provided us with adequately reliable material data for making this Auditor’s Statement. In our opinion, the information presented in the Annual Report reflects accurately in all the relevant aspects the factual data in the company’s Financial Statement.
