We made a last step in restructuring and transferred the non-strategic part of the portfolio to the new company, Heta Asset Resolution, d.o.o., whose mission is to sell the investment portfolio while maintaining the value of the property with the appropriate measures for the recovery of debts or restructuring of assets. In this way we have fulfilled one of the commitments to the European Commission and the owner, the Republic of Austria. In October 2014 we have received a confirmation that all the restructuring activities were successful. Namely, Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG has taken a decision to sell all shares of Hypo SEE Holding to Advent International and its co-investor, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Negotiations were completed in December 2014. Advent International and the EBRD signed an agreement to acquire Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG. Official confirmation of the transaction by a competent authority is underway. We believe the deal will be completed successfully, enabling our Group a new perspective of growth. On the Slovenian market activities and measures took place to stabilize the banking system. Following the record high recapitalization in 2013, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, after the approval of the European Commission, recapitalized Abanka and Banka Celje and with the transfer of bad assets of the two banks to the Bank Asset Management Company (DUTB) completed the planned measures to stabilize the banking system. Our competence and strategy for the continuation of Hypo network in South Eastern Europe were key criteria in the decision on the sale. We followed this strategy in Slovenia as well. With quality services that provide customers with more we were able to retain more than 70 thousand clients. With individual approach we maintain professional, stable and sustainable relationships with our clients. We optimized our sales network and made it customer friendly to existing and potential clients. With the purchase of Hypo Leasing d.o.o. we integrated leasing services into the banking business, which allows us to offer our clients comprehensive financial management in one place. We achieved stabilization of the business, which is reflected in the stable liquidity, greater pre-impairment operating profit and ultimately, the arrival of a new strategic partner. In the reporting year the Bank paid special attention to risk management, which enabled timely, responsible and appropriate actions, thus delivering enhanced safety of operations, particularly to its customers. In the interest of a successful sale of Hypo to a new owner, two global auditors, KPMG and Deloitte, were participating in this business year-end closing. For the Bank and its new daughter in Slovenia, Hypo Leasing d.o.o., the bank nominated KPMG Slovenia, which in its work at the request of the upcoming new owner collaborated with the German subsidiary of Deloitte in order to ensure the greatest possible transparency and compliance with standards, legislation and the rules applicable for each country where Hypo operates. Despite the successful business operations, the consolidated result of the Bank at the end of the year was negative in the amount of EUR 42 million. This is mostly due to additional impairments and provisions amounting to EUR 61 million and which are primarily the result of the sale of the Group with the intention to embark on a new path with the new owner in a better condition and with a larger stock of impairments. As part of the restructuring, we transferred additional non-core investments to another company, which decreased total assets by 4 percent and at the end of the year amounted to EUR 1,349 million. We kept the number of customers in Slovenia at the same level as the year before (over 70 thousand), which shows that the customers have confidence in us as the financial institution. Capital of the Bank has decreased by EUR 36.6 million due to increased operating losses. For this reason the Bank increased its capital in 2015 in the amount of EUR 47 million and ensured an even higher capital adequacy than expected by the regulator. The recapitalizations are carried out in accordance with the restructuring plan of operations and the sale to the new owner. With this capital increase the Bank has strengthened its commitment to maintain high levels of capital adequacy which will further enhance the stability of the business. From the outset on the Slovenian market our Bank has acted as a socially responsible company. We want to give back to 9 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. introduction the society in which we operate. For several years we have been donating the funds earmarked as Christmas and New Year’s gifts for our business partners to families in social distress and we were able to at least during the holidays bring smiles to their faces. Our employees were happy to contribute their share as well. We have been actively involved in the sponsorship program for the last two years. We are also active in our care for employees. We have upgraded activities within the project “Family Friendly Company” and introduced additional measures that help our employees balance their family life with work. Along with their family members our employees are also regularly included in sponsorship and donation activities which help enrich their everyday workday. Supporting sports and sporting activities is our contribution to a better, healthier lifestyle. With sponsorship funds we are involved in the lives of those who represent our country in the European and global environment. In this way we demonstrate our support of athletes, we salute their endurance, discipline, competitiveness and desire to accomplish goals. We are actively involved in the cultural life by supporting events on national and local level and take part in major trade fairs and business events. We believe that by working hard in the past we have earned a bright future. This has also been confirmed by the arrival of a new owner. We are confident that after their formal commencement of duties the new owner will be able to integrate into our operations in a positive manner, with the aim of using their knowledge and different views to contribute to ensuring an even greater competition in the market. Our goal is to create future from the core and focus on active communication with employees and customers. With cross-selling we will focus on the sale of housing loans, deposits, investment and leasing services to individuals, micro and medium-sized enterprises. We believe that our ambitious, persistent, hardworking and positive attitude will help the Hypo team raise the standards of excellence in the market by offering high quality and innovative financial services. Our clients are invited to our special events. We are always preparing various benefits for customers and event appropriate activities so that they can actively participate. They undoubtedly add value and strengthen professional relationships on an informal basis. We will strive to be a SUPPORTIVE partner, work together with you in a FRIENDLY manner, and most of all, we are committed to be FAIR. We believe that our partnership will last for many years to come.

The Report will be presented at the General Meeting.

For this reason the Bank increased its capital in 2015 in the amount of EUR 47 million and ensured an even higher capital adequacy than expected by the regulator. The recapitalizations are carried out in accordance with the restructuring plan of operations and the sale to the new owner. With this capital increase the bank has strengthened its commitment to maintain high levels of capital adequacy which will further enhance the stability of the business. The Bank paid special attention to risk management, which enabled timely, responsible and appropriate actions, thus delivering improved safety of operations, particularly to its clients. We believe that the managements of both Hypo Slovenia companies (Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. and Hypo Leasing, d. o. o.) will continue the good work, ensuring the Bank’s successful performance in the Slovenian market under the new owner.

The Bank has 19 branches in 14 towns and cities. During the year activities were undertaken to move some of the branches to more appropriate locations and to optimize the business premises. The Maribor branch at Ptujska cesta was closed down. Its Retail department was moved to the Mercator Tabor II shopping center and the Corporate department to Trg Leona Štuklja, to the existing branch. In November 2014 the Nova Gorica Retail and Corporate departments were rejoined at the same site, which will surely contribute to the improved results of the business unit. As part of the reorganization of the Hypo Group in Slovenia in 2014 at the company’s headquarters and in several business units optimization of the business premises was carried out. Balance as at 31 December 2014: 17 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Business report General economic conditions in 2014 International environment Slovenia The global economy in 2014 grew at a slower pace than expected, suggesting that the developed countries are still facing the consequences of the recent financial crisis. Weaker growth was caused also by lower growth rates in developing countries, greater political risk and various austerity measures. The recapitalization of the banking system, reduced political uncertainty, and especially increased foreign demand and investments have contributed to the recovery of economic activity in Slovenia. The main reason for recovery is export, as infrastructure investments related to the acquired EU funds reached their peak in 2014. The biggest positive surprise is personal consumption, which due to lower unemployment rates, stabilization of wages and lenient fiscal measures is starting to show signs of recovery. Taking into account the above factors and the third quarter data for 2014, growth in 2014 reached 2.4%. Of the major economies only the US and the UK have achieved positive conditions on the basis of improvement in labor market conditions and loose monetary policy, while the area of the European Union was faced with decreasing economic activity, structural variations and the risk of deflation. China has reduced its economic activity due to the growing problem of shadow banking, while Japan, despite the monetarily expansive economic policy, cannot find a way out from zero economic growth and deflation. The end of 2014 shows a slight improvement in the situation. 2015 will be marked by the persistence of zero interest rates, expansion of monetary policies, volatility of raw material prices and the reduction in world trade, where particularly lower oil prices will have on average a positive impact on the global economy. The expected lower level of infrastructure investments, deleveraging and restructuring of companies, gradual recovery of households and slower recovery of the EU economies will lead to lower growth rates in 2015. However, with the projected 1.6% growth in 2015 Slovenia will reach one of the largest growths in the EU, in particular due to greater export competitiveness, gradual internal devaluation of other markets and lower oil prices. The ECB monetary measures (buying government bonds) will also have a positive impact on the development of economic activity, together with an Quarterly contributions to the growth in economic activity 20 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 -15 Household consumption 18 Government consumption Gross capital formation Net exports ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report expansionary fiscal policy in healthy EU members and faster implementation of structural reforms. The main negative factor could be the potential additional downturn in the EU due to tighter financial conditions, as a result of the reversal of the FED’s monetary policy and/or delayed ECB measures. higher than average rate in the European Union. The high proportion of non-performing loans and zero interest rates remain the key limiting factor of profitability, which will be in the next few years (almost) the only foundation for raising the capital adequacy. The inflation rate in 2014 has reached an average of only 0.2% growth, mostly due to the persistent decline in raw materials (mainly oil) and slower normalization of prices of imported food. With the gradual recovery in domestic demand, continued fiscal consolidation and controlled wage growth, inflation in 2015 shall remain below 1%. The restructuring of the sector is reflected in the negative results of operations, which, according to preliminary estimates exceed 50 million in losses, and in further drop in balance-sheet total in 2014. Transfer of bad debts to the Bank Asset Management Company and reduction of the loan portfolio of enterprises due to the continuation of active and passive restructuring and of households due to the negative mood, led to a reduction of the total assets by EUR 3 billion, resulting in the final balance of EUR 38 billion. Positive mood and the recovery in economic activity is affecting the increase in employment, which will continue in 2015, despite the precaution of enterprises regarding the new employment. The unemployment rate will also decrease (down by 0,20.p to 9.8%) as a result of the implementation of active employment policy measures. Average gross and net wages show gradual recovery based on the growing business in the private and public sectors, which for the first time in two years is going to receive additional payments from retained promotions. Total net earnings will grow in 2015 on an annual basis by 1%. Slovenian banking environment In 2014 the Slovenian banking system continued consolidation and restructuring. After a record recapitalization in 2013, the government after the approval of the European Commission increased the capital of Abanka and Banka Celje and with the transfer of non-performing assets of the two banks to the Bank Asset Management Company (DUTB) completed the planned measures to stabilize the banking system. In accordance with the commitments on state aid, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia will privatize the nationalized banks: the two largest Slovenian banks latest by 2017, and the two remaining banks latest by 2019. In 2015, we expect further consolidation of business processes and business optimization and restructuring of the underlying business policies in the field of retail banking and small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to zero (negative) interest rates special focus will be on the provision of cost-efficiency and upgrade of (new) non-interest income. The process of deleveraging companies will pass into the final phase, as a result of which the income risk will remain high, but not as intense as in recent years. The deleveraging process of the state will through redemption of obligations also impact the lower liquidity of the banking system. The stabilization of the banking system is also reflected in the 14.5% capital adequacy of the highest quality capital, ranking Slovenian banking in the European average. Despite the considerable improvement in capital adequacy last year, the system still faces profitability risks, restructuring needs of enterprises and, consequently, a relatively high proportion of non-performing loans - the latter, despite the transfer of non-performing loans, with 13% of bad debts presents a 19 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Business results in 2014 Financial highlights INDICATORS EUR 000’ 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 31 December 2012 1,349,442 1,441,502 1,900,801 824,977 743,117 727,987 a) legal and other persons 543,705 494,778 474,921 b) retail 281,272 248,339 253,065 1,101,189 1,247,134 1,643,995 1.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Financial position At 31 December 2014 the Bank’s total assets amounted to EUR 1,349 million, a 6-percent decline over 2013. The structure of assets: The share of loans to non-banks accounts for 82 percent. In 2014 the long-term investment of the bank in the capital of the leasing subsidiary totalled EUR 3,3 million. During the year the structure of liabilities was changing primarily with regards to deposits and loans; the share of primary sources (used by the Bank to improve diversification of its sources of financing) rose to 62.0 percent; debt securities are included as well. Deposits and loans of banks have decreased from 36 to 30.0%. Provisions and other liabilities remained at approximately the same level as in 2013. Financial liabilities to non-banks increased by EUR 54 million or 7 percent to EUR 835.4 million at the end of 2014. This increase is the result of the Bank’s intense efforts to strengthen the primary sources and is in line with its strategy of restructuring the liabilities towards primary sources of funds. The Bank’s capital decreased in 2014 by 36.6 million due to increased business loss. Loans to banks increased by 18 percent in 2014 to EUR 11,9 million at the year-end. Almost the entire amount represents demand deposits. Loans to non-banks fell in 2014 by 12 percent or EUR 146,6 million due to higher repayments, additional risk provisions and lower new business due to more conservative credit policy. At the end of 2014 loans to non-banks amounted to EUR 1,101 million. Financial assets held for trading decreased by 34 percent in 2014 as a result of revaluation and disposal of certain financial assets. By the end of the year, financial assets held for trading amounted to EUR 4,3 million. Available-for-sale financial assets decreased by 11 percent in 2014. By the end of the year, available-for-sale financial assets amounted to EUR 44,8 million, accounting for 3.3 percent of total assets. Financial assets held to maturity remained at approximately the same level as in 2013. The portfolio balance at the end of 2014 amounted to EUR 84,6 million, accounting for 6.3 percent of total assets.

Compared to the previous year they fell by EUR 109.6 million. At the end of 2014 they amounted to EUR 409,6 million; of that, subordinated liabilities amounted to EUR 73 million, whereas the remaining amount represents deposits and borrowings from banks. 21 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Assets structure 2014 Financial assets held for trading Available-for-sale financial assets Loans to Banks Loans to clients Held-to-maturity financial assets Investment in capital of subsidiaries Cash in hand, tangible and other assets 22 Assets structure 2013 Financial assets held for trading Available-for-sale financial assets Loans to Banks Loans to clients Held-to-maturity financial assets Investment in capital of subsidiaries Cash in hand, tangible and other assets ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Liabilities structure 2014 Financial liabilities held for trading Deposits from banks Deposits from clients Equity Provisions and other liabilities Liabilities structure 2013 Financial liabilities held for trading Deposits from banks Deposits from clients Equity Provisions and other liabilities 23 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Financial result General The result of the Bank at the end of 2014 was negative.

Net interest income represented with 59 percent the majority of total net income. In the net income structure, the share of net interest dropped by 2 percentage points, whereas the share of net fees and commissions rose by 10 percentage points. The net result from financial assets has increased sharply as a result of the profit from the sale of financial investments. A negative result from other net operating profit amounted to EUR 1,848 thousand and mainly consists of tax on bank assets and a tax on financial services. The increase in net interest income resulted in an increase in the interest margin. The interest margin compared to 2013 increased from 1.28 percent to 1.93 percent in 2014. The increase in net interest margin is due to increased share of the primary sources of 24 Operating expenses Risk provisions Other Profit/Loss after tax financing at lower interest rate rates. Lower interest rates on primary deposits were a reflection of the general trend in the Slovenian economy. Net fees and commissions amounted to EUR 13,256 thousand at the year-end and accounted for 28 percent of the Bank’s net income. Compared to 2013, they decreased by 6 percent, in accordance with the completed transfer of a portion of loans to non-banks to a Group company, for which the Bank received commission for the management of the transferred portfolio. With net fees and commissions the Bank covered 47 percent of the Bank’s administrative costs. At the end of the year net non-interest income amounted to 17,547 thousand EUR. Compared to 2013 it increased significantly (by 48 percent). Most of the increase was derived from profits on sale of financial assets, realized in 2014.

The Bank realized EUR 110 thousand of net exchange rate loss which is 10 percentage points less than in 2013.

While certain growth in economic activity is noticable only in the second half of 2014, in the first two quarters of 2014 stagnation of the Slovenian economy continued. While mainly export-oriented companies and some high tech companies achieved growth (in some cases high growth), the year was less successful for companies in the sectors of construction, real estate and financial intermediation. Despite the (finally) completed takeover of Mercator Group, the trading activity again more or less stagnated, which proves once again that the purchasing power remains very low and that the subjects are still behaving very carefully, and do not make bigger purchases. This applies to both wholesale trade, as well as retail, and to legal persons as well as individuals. On the other hand, the Slovenian banking market finally started the process of decreasing interest rates on deposits. Especially banks in Slovenian ownership had a major role in this, as they have received substantial inexpensive funding at the time of the state recapitalization. Foreign affiliates and certain banks in foreign ownership responded in the same way. Our Bank followed the decrease of interest rates on deposits; in corporate banking at the end of 2014 we were fully comparable to the Slovene financial market, which has resulted in cheaper sources of financing. Of course, such a reduction in deposit rates also led to a reduction in active interest rates. Certain banks were quite aggressive and considerably decreased interest rates on loans (both longterm as well as short-term) for first-class clients; to a large extent we had to come close to their rates also in our Bank. Nevertheless, the impact of high reduction in deposit interest rates had a greater impact on interest margin, which was achieved at a higher level than the previous year. The result of such, still quite uncertain economic conditions in the Republic of Slovenia, as well as the fact that in corporate banking the entire 2014 we operated according to the EC guidelines, is still a conservative and cautious policy for loan 30 approvals, which in turn led to a drop in credit activities in the field of corporate banking. Also, there was no increase in investment activity of Slovenian companies in the past year. Also in the Slovenian banking system there was a significant drop in loans to non-banks. By the end of 2014 Slovenian banks approved 17,6% fewer loans to corporates and other clients than in 2013. The volume of loans approved to clients in the Corporate Banking sector by Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank in 2014 fell against the volume reported in 2013, as is true for Corporate Banking sector of all banks. A significant reduction in loans is also a result of extraordinary repayments, which took place mainly in the second half of 2014, both in our bank as well as in the entire Slovene banking sector. Especially major Slovenian companies refinanced their financial obligations in 2014, either by issuing and successful sale of bonds or by borrowing abroad - directly at the headquarters of foreign banks. Of course, this resulted in the inflow of fresh financial resources in the Slovenian banking system, as these companies used these funds to pay off the existing financial liabilities to banks in Slovenia. Due to the aforementioned still low investment activity of the Slovenian economy, it was not possible to place the obtained additional funds back into Slovene companies in a quality (safe) manner. In addition to marketing efforts and increase in sales results, the main objective of 2014 was regular servicing of existing obligations of borrowers. The funds obtained this way should be reinvested in the Slovenian economy - particularly in first-class existing and new customers of the Bank. In doing so, we will fully take into account the Group’s credit policy and market conditions in the Slovenian economy. With the arrival of a new owner we will also fully consider its performance plans, credit policy and the desired objectives, which they will set out upon legally completed change of ownership. In addition to interest income and concern for high net interest margin, corporate banking remains one of the key focus areas, as well as increase in the share of commission ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report (non-interest) income in 2015 compared to 2014 and previous years. Also in 2014, the issued bank guarantees had the greatest impact on commission revenues, which was fully in line with the strategy and plans for 2014. Guarantee operations, as well as Trade Finance had a significant impact on the outcome of the Corporate banking department in 2014. An increase is also planned for 2015. It will be achieved mainly through cross-selling of other services (payment services, investment banking, derivatives, documentary operations, leasing services). This will help increase the number of services sold to each customer, build up the existing and introduce new services. Taking into account the expectations for economic growth of Slovenia in 2015, we can also expect new increase in revenues of our companies (partners), which will lead to a higher volume of payment transactions via transaction accounts at our bank. Consequently, this shall result in higher commissions from payment transactions. The growth in commission from payment transactions will be additionally induced by new - target companies, which we plan to acquire in 2015 and which will open transaction accounts at our Bank. At each investment we check the clients’ business transactions, determine their needs and based on those offer and sell them appropriate banking services. In any case, the new investment (product / service) includes a new bank account, which will have a positive impact on new (planned) growth in commission income. With the integration of banking and leasing services, as well as joint custody for one client (one client = one client manager) the goal of one client manager selling all the services has already been achieved in 2014. At each visit of existing or potential new customer, the sales person offers banking and leasing services, which received a very positive response from customers. The fact that our companies are in contact with only one person regardless of the type of service, their segment, or way of doing business has been well received. Leasing is fully integrated in the sales process of the Corporate banking dept. and the results of 2014 have already exceeded the 2013 results. Increase in growth of these services is also planned for 2015. As in 2014, we will pay special attention to financial leasing of means of transport, trailers, upgrading of trucks and mechanical equipment. Again we plan to explore the possibilities and eligibility for the introduction of the operational leasing in the future. In Corporate banking department deposits form an important factor in the management of the Bank’s liquidity. Collection of liquid assets will continue to be a priority. Also in this year we achieved growth in deposits collected. Just as important is the fact that despite growth we have managed to achieve a significant reduction in the average interest rate for all deposits in the Corporate dept. By increasing the number of depositors we will continue to decrease our dependence on large individual depositors. In addition to increasing the total amount of deposits in the Bank, one of our main tasks is also a reduction of the average amount of each deposit. Also in 2014, in addition to classic deposits we offered our business partners a Certificate of Deposit (CD), which helped to collect the necessary financial resources. The strategy of customer relationship management is one of the key factors for the continued success of the Bank in the corporate banking sector. The key factor in the strategy of customer relationship management is the exact definition of the duties of client managers of individual clients and groups of related companies (global client manager). Our goal is to deepen our customer relationships and develop a long-term partnership with them. Each individual client manager needs to know their customer and determine their needs in a timely manner. We believe that despite the slightly better expectations, the precarious situation in the markets will continue in 2015. Regular and constant contact with our customers - partners will be of paramount importance also in the future. Our focus will be on our top existing customers, who we still need to provide with quality services at competitive prices, as well as new customers who we plan to acquire in the next year. Preservation and further improvement in satisfaction and communication with our existing customers is a solid foundation for further development of the Corporate dept. Of course, all new customers the Bank is hoping to gain deserve the same professional, businesslike and trusted relationship of our sales staff. Only in this way, on the basis of the solid foundation (existing partners), we are going to succeed in building an even taller and higher quality house (new partners). 31 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Distribution Channels One of our significant competitive advantages remains cross-selling of various banking services within the Bank and within the Hypo Group Alpe Adria in Slovenia, which consists of our Bank and Hypo Leasing. Business cooperation with our sister banks within the Hypo Group Alpe Adria, which runs through the so called Hypo Network, is the added value which we can offer to our customers. The Hypo Network was established as a joint project of banks and leasing companies in the Hypo Group Alpe Adria with the purpose of assisting the clients in the Hypo Group Alpe Adria to establish business partnerships in the Alpe-Adria region. Our existing customers, who meet the criteria set by the European Commission present an important potential also in 2015. These are mainly customers who satisfy a portion of their financial requirements in other Slovenian banks. To these customers we will offer additional financing as a form of partial repayment of their liabilities to other banks. Each of our sales people was explained the importance of our existing customers for the results of the Bank. The fact is that our existing customers are target clients for all other banks in Slovenia. With this in mind we must make sure that our relations with business partners are stable and long term. We will reintroduce a quality list of our target customers which will include businesses whose operations are fully satisfying the conditions of our credit policy. In collaboration with the CRM, which will pre-determine the minimum value of the required indicators of target companies, a list will be prepared and customers will be divided among sales people who will in accordance with the agreed criteria visit and offer the customers a package of our services (banking, leasing, retail, treasury, etc.). This will provide clear objectives and criteria for the client managers to assist them when acquiring new clients who will bring improved added value to the Bank and increase the volume of operations. We continue to see major potential in employees, who are employed in companies with which we do business. The partnership concept where cooperation between Corporate and Retail client managers presents one of the Bank’s advantages will continue to be one of our priorities also in the next financial year. Accordingly, we expect major increase in retail accounts. Whilst this may not have a direct impact 32 on the Corporate Banking, it will however, have an effect on the overall result of the Bank as a whole. Cross-selling will also take place between other segments in the bank. Objectives for 2015 We will continue our successful operations of the Corporate Banking sector also in 2015. We build our competitive advantages on solid foundations, which we established with a clear strategy. In 2015 it will be directed to: Acquiring new clients in the sector of small and medium-size companies, Offering structured services (cross-selling of combined banking services suitable for our business partners), Increasing the number of services per client; increasing the number of transaction accounts, increasing the volume of payment transactions with existing clients, increasing the market share in the area of letters of credit and deposits, Taking full advantage of the potential presented by existing banking customers, Focusing on employees of corporates who are our clients in order to increase the number of retail transaction accounts, Promoting cross-selling between other banking segments in order to increase the Bank’s results, primarily on account of non-interest income, Increasing overall income of the Corporate Banking Sector, primarily on account of non-interest bearing income. Main focus will be on Trade Finance and Guarantee as these transactions do not require high (expensive) liquid assets, while they ensure commission (non-interest bearing) income, Trustees will continue to regularly monitor servicing of contractual commitments by clients of the Bank and Hypo Leasing, while strictly complying with the Bank’s pricing policy, Developing highly experienced and professional employees and adapting business processes and their optimization. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Retail Banking 2014 was marked by difficult economic conditions which are reflected in the reduced consumption of goods and services, prudent investing and prudent use of banking services. For this reason, the retail banking sector was divided into two departments, i.e. the Sales Force, comprised of a complete sales and business network of 19 branch offices, servicing retail customers, small companies and sole proprietors, and Product Management, comprised of business support, services management, and sales channels management. Our efforts in both these areas were adjusted to economic conditions. Furthermore, our efforts were focused on innovation and quality of the Bank’s services, as well as productivity and profitability of our work. In 2014 we continued with projects carried out at the Group and local levels. Some of these projects were completed succesfully, requiring our organization of work to be to a certain extent tailored to these projects. Business Strategy In the area of retail banking and transactions with sole proprietors and limited liability companies, the Bank continued with its modified strategy of deepening the relationships with individual segments of clients and of ensuring even better attention to the personal approach, which it started as early as in 2010 with the fundamental aim to increase the number of clients and the number of sold products per client. Our total sales network was engaged on implementation of the Sales Force Effectiveness project in order to increase the sales of services per client particularly with a different work organization and an increase in the productivity especially in the sector of retail clients. The project, which began in 2011 and is upgraded each year, we updated in 2014 and added improvements in transparency of monitoring and higher efficiency. The project was introduced at the level of the Group and presents completely new roles and approaches. It is aimed at: Sales organization: client managers shall focus most of their time on sales, Sales tools: we additionally equipped our sales staff with sales tools that have increased sales performance, Sales monitoring: we inspired our sales staff with motivational tools to ensure better sales performance and to increase the transparency of operations. The results of the sale and analysis of our clients’ and branch visitors’ opinions show that the projects had a positive effect on client satisfaction and on the improved efficiency of the sales network. While focusing on these projects, we complied with the new credit policy, faced the challenges of worsening market conditions and strived to maintain liquidity. It is why we are trying to change policies that constitute an obstacle to the sales activities. At the same time we are ensuring quality portfolio and timely monitoring. We continued to implement the Affluent Banking project which is an extended client service for more demanding clients. By supporting tailored services for individual segments and taking care of a comprehensive solution of client needs and wishes, we pursued the goals of positive operations of the Bank, in particular: To strengthen client loyalty, To keep and stabilize the existing asset portfolio of clients at the Bank, To increase the cross-sale indicator with a special client approach, To attract new clients. In 2014 we successfully implemented and monitored the results of two projects: the “Complaint Management” project, the primary goal of which was to introduce a system of dealing with customer complaints, and the “Service Quality” project which set the standards for the servicing of clients, employees, branches, and resulted in increased satisfaction of our employees as well as our valued customers. Sales activities were complemented with campaigns guided by the Marketing department and their performance results were monitored by the Sales Controlling department. Some of the most successful campaigns were: mobile banking points that were set up at special events (e.g. Celje Fair, Ljubljana Festival) campaign to gain new customers on the basis of a data base from marketing sales activities 33 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report collaboration with societies - entering into contracts and marketing to their members Operation support, product management and sales channels cross-sales activities between segments (B2E concept) In the context of optimization of the saving offers for individuals, we introduced a free of charge Deposit Transaction Account, which made deposits more accessible to non-clients. We have improved the properties of the Growing deposit by reducing the total term of saving from 24 to 12 months and increased the monthly mark-ups on the interest rate. targeted marketing campaigns to attract new customers (Invite a friend, Pre-approved quick loans, cooperation with the Investment Banking department) Transactions in 2014 The results of the modified strategy with these segments are evident in the number of sold services per client, per employee as well as per branch office. In 2014, the Bank increased the number of retail clients by 2.14 percent compared to the previous year. The number of products sold per customer has also improved. Micro-enterprises - Commission income resulting from a higher number of services per client and more frequent use of individual services grew by more than 1.6 percent in 2014 as compared to the year before. The highest growth was recorded in the commission income from insurance services (22%) and card transactions (14%). Micro-enterprises - Commission income in this segment decreased by 13.4 percent as a result of the transfer of clients to HETA d.o.o., the new segmentation and consequently transfer of clients to the Corporate segment. With the introduction of a new package for Micro clients we expect an increase in commission income. Financial leasing has been fully integrated in the sales network in 2012. Leasing has become one of the sales products of the bank. In 2014 we focused on the segment of agricultural machinery, which has largely made up for the loss in car financing as a result of market conditions. In 2015 we plan to mainly with organizational changes and IT solutions make a step further towards greater flexibility and faster execution of transactions for end customers. We are aware that our suppliers are one of the most crucial sales channels. Our main goal remains a professional relationship with existing and potential customers, which is achieved through continuous education and training of employees. 34 In Card Operations we continued with the implementation of card strategy. We introduced a prepaid MasterCard card with contactless technology with two different motives: Hypo and Football. In the field of lending, we continued our policy of introducing electronic means of credit approvals, combining of different applications, which are an integral part of the loan process, and shortening the approval process, which results in lower operating costs with an emphasis on transparent risk management. In this light, we have improved the conditions and criteria for loans insured at an insurance company. Housing loans approvals have been optimized with a successful upgrade of an application for determination of risk-weighted interest rates and the use of the application for the calculation of real estate appraisals. We have prepared several special offers to finance the purchase of real estate owned by the Hypo Group (residential complexes Situla, Razgledi ob Paki, TCP Livade). For Credit Express and MasterCard credit cards, we replaced the payment of insurance premium with the cost for risk estimates, which made the approval process even faster. For our loan intermediaries, we have developed a HIP application, which has simplified and sped up the approval process of consumer loans, both at the point of sale, as well as in processes in the back office of the bank. Through our loan intermediaries we launched the Mini HIP loan with a limited amount of EUR 4,000 and maturity of 36 months for the purchase of small value items. In advisory banking we successfully implemented our goals under “Project Affluent Version 2.0”, with the aim of further development and optimization (segmentation of natural persons, products and services, quality advice and additional benefits for the Affluent segment). ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report In addition, we introduced Affluent Banking in Koper and Domžale branches. In the area of Bancassurance in cooperation with ERGO insurance company we “enriched” our core banking packages and MasterCard payment cards with a range of insurance services and became the first bank in Slovenia to merge banking and insurance services in one product. In cooperation with the insurance company ARAG SE we offered our Affluent clients also Legal Expenses Insurance. In order to optimize our branch network, in October 2014 we relocated the Maribor (Ptujska cesta) branch to a more attractive location in the shopping center Mercator (Maribor Tabor). Our most visited ATMs were upgraded with cassettes for €50. An automated process of internal communication was introduced, which allows for faster transmission of information in the corporate network, better possibility of subsequent inspection and search by keywords and more transparent audit trail. Objectives for 2015 We will continue with the expansion and optimization of banking services. For the purpose of acquiring new customers a bonus program “Bring a friend” will have an important role: a client who brings a new bank customer receives an award in the amount of €40. We plan to expand our range of bank deposits and packages. In the second half of the year we plan to introduce mobile banking and completely renovate our HYPOnet online bank. need a housing loan. We are preparing an online version of HIP application that will allow quick approval of mini Hip credit without visiting a branch and will be adapted for use in online stores. This will make our Bank the first bank in Slovenia to facilitate the purchase of goods by a bank loan through this fastest growing sales channel. Our objectives in 2015 are to place special focus on three majors goals: 1. Introduction of an additional banking services package for our clients in the Affluent segment based on their saved funds, 2. Acquiring new Affluent customers, 3. Upgrading advisory tools and marketing materials for Affluent segment. In the field of banking and insurance, we will continue with the optimization and business relationship with selected insurance companies as well as widening the range of products for our customers. We are also planning to relocate the Ptuj branch and some ATMs with low turnovers. We follow the changes and the guidelines of the Bank, therefore in 2015 we are planning to introduce mobile teams which will help us reach customers in areas where we do not have branches and in this way offer Hypo services to a wide range of individuals and businesses. In card operations we will continue with the implementation of the Card Strategy project. The key challenge will be the introduction of MasterCard Installment credit card, which is scheduled in the first half of the year, and introduction of insurance of approved overdrafts for MasterCard business card at the insurance company. In the field of loan operations, we plan to pursue active marketing by expanding marketing channels on the Internet and the introduction of pre-approved loans. We will continue with the expansion of the network of loan intermediaries. Special attention will be paid to collaboration with real estate agencies with the goal of referring our bank to clients who 35 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Financial markets Treasury sales After a successful 2013 the Treasury Sales department has operated successfully also in 2014 as a result of further extending its range of services, greater focus on currency risk and upgrade of the basic services (Cross Selling). Our activities were intensified with existing customers and active searching for new ones, despite the low liquidity and the huge gap between the Slovenian and global markets. Nevertheless, in 2014 we observed that the situation on the Slovenian market has stabilized. There were first indications of economic growth and the business operations of our key customers was stable. Due to the fact that in the world markets, which Slovenian companies were heavily exposed to, the situation greatly changed, we have intensified monitoring of the financial risks of companies that we work with. This resulted in a very successful end of the year and fufilled plans in the Treasury Sales dept. Projects for the expansion of operations to areas where we have previously not been present, primarily the retail business, are about to be completed. interest rate risks. Furthermore, the department manages the banking and trading book. In 2014, there were no significant changes in the banking book portfolio, the largest portion of which are still bonds and treasury bills issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Slovenia. These securities as well as an appropriate part of the loan portfolio the Bank used as collateral for access to operations of the Eurosystem via the pool of eligible assets at the Bank of Slovenia. In 2014 the Bank participated in a new long-term operation of the European Central Bank TLTRO and thereby gained quality long-term assets intended for lending to our customers. In 2014 the structure of the Bank’s liabilities changed and the Bank decreased its dependency on the refinancing by the parent bank on the account of collected primary sources that are cheaper, which had a positive impact on the interest result of the Bank. In 2015, we expect the realization of optimistic forecasts of economic growth, both on the domestic and foreign markets. The Treasury Sales dept. will respond accordingly. Currency risks are still a major challenge as they keep increasing and reaching historical records. We will focus on interest rate risks, especially for those customers who are exposed to long-term risks. In the first half of 2015 we would also like to offer our retail customers the option of financial protection and advisory service. In addition to education and training of our employees, which is implemented in our bank on a regular basis, in 2015 we will organize several business events (e.g. Business conference or traditional Business breakfast). Customers will be invited who do business with the Treasury Sales department. In the coming year we would like to finally enter the commodity market. In 2014, the Bank had much better results in Capital Markets compared to the previous year. The announced privatization of some stateowned enterprises has revived mainly the domestic capital market. Thus, we have witnessed the takeover of Mercator, Helios, Ljubljana Airport, Letrika, Fotona, and consequently some money from the sale of shares came back to the capital markets, which was reflected in higher revenues from brokerage fees. Due to the increased number of new customers, revenues from the Central Securities Clearing Corporation services have grown - opening the account, account management, demurrage and other services. Deposit interest rates which fell sharply in 2014 also resulted in higher interest in investment banking services - consequently, more people decided on an alternative form of bank deposits in order to realize somewhat higher returns than with traditional deposits. The main focus in the department was in the segment Asset management and active processing of clients in Brokerage Services, where marketing activities and upgrading of both services to a high professional level were at the forefront. Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) In 2014, the main task of balance sheet management was, as in all the years before, providing bank liquidity, i.e. management thereof, in accordance with the adopted policies and guidelines of Hypo Group and compliance with the set limits. The Bank regularly settled all of its obligations. The Bank’s liquidity has been good all year. In addition to liquidity risk we carefully monitored and managed exchange rate and 36 Capital Markets ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Operations In 2015 our focus will be on increasing income from stockbrokerage services on local and foreign markets (portfolio optimization), attracting new active clients on the local market through HypoBroker application, promotion of sales through direct marketing, introduction of new product (combination of a deposit and asset management), and, above all, on increasing the number of customers and volume of assets under Asset Management segment. In 2014 we introduced a number of process improvements by using the methodology of “Lean Six Sigma” and automated several processes in the back office in order to achieve higher STP (Straight-through Processing) ratio, higher quality and lower response time to requests from clients. This has enabled us to achieve greater efficiency and higher productivity indicators. Key indicators of productivity were introduced throughout the Operations dept. and are monitored on the level of organizational units as well as by individual key business processes. We have completed the operational implementation of a spin-off of the non-strategic loan and leasing portfolio and accordingly optimized the required human resources. With the aim of optimizing the cost of archiving and achieving high standards of environmental awareness, a project for the transfer to e-archive was carried out. From the Archives of Slovenia we received a decision on compliance which allows us to implement paperless operation as well as e-archiving, and reduces the need for physical archives and the associated costs. Loan and leasing operations support In 2014, we continued to actively optimize the loan origination process for individuals within the RBacko project. In this context, we implemented a new workflow application to support loan origination flow in our sales network and external loan intermediaries. In addition, we standardized products, processes and documentation for all credit products. By automating manual activities and eliminating activities with no added value, we reduced the processing time of each request in terms of workload time and response time to the customer. For standardized loans we shortened the time to approval by almost 60%. For credit products for our retail clients we have introduced paperless loan origination workload in the back-office and thereby reduced our administrative costs. With the introduction of shift work in the afternoons and on Saturdays we have fulfilled the wishes of our loan intermediaries for greater accessibility. 37 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report In the area of leasing, we successfully carried out the splitoff of the non-core operations as well as effectively carried out the sell-off and handed over a part of leasing portfolio to an outside investor. We have implemented technical and operational support for e-invoices. Payment services In the area of payment services in 2014 we introduced additional controls to prevent money laundering for SEPA payments, as well as process improvements for SEPA direct debits. Card transactions We implemented process improvements to support customers with prepaid cards and optimized the process for approving and ordering credit cards. Transaction Accounts In 2014 we focused on the optimization of deposit operations and transaction accounts with introduction of certain application modification for enhanced automation and hence reduction in operational risks. We participated in the implementation of e-invoices for budgetary users. Forced collection With the possibility of judicial execution transition to paperless operations (VEP portal) and the planned transition of tax and customs enforcement to e-commerce by the end of 2014, we carried out the necessary activities for the migration. This will allow us to reduce the costs of scanning and archiving as well to speed up the process of data collection and increase productivity. Treasury support and Investment banking In accordance with the requirements of EMIR (The European Market Infrastructure Regulation), in 2014 we established a system of reporting and collateralisation of derivatives. It is a regulation that defines the obligations relating to the trading of derivatives. The reason for the adoption of the regulation is to establish requirements aimed at reducing the risk of counterparties and enhancing the transparency of transactions concluded with derivatives outside the regulated market. 38 Documentation Center The Documentation center dept. performs the tasks associated with managing documents including recording of the incoming mail, handling of the outgoing mail, managing archive documentation in paper form and e-form, preparation of documentation for scanning and capturing of our own documentation. In 2014, we successfully completed the project for the development of Internal Rules for the capture and storage of documentation. Internal rules were submitted to the Archives of Slovenia for approval and received their decision that the Internal rules comply with the Protection of Documents and Archives and Archival Institutions Act. Our development in the coming years will be primarily focused on paperless operations, which we have successfully started to implement in 2014. With the introduction of paperless operations we are more efficient in business processes and also environmentally friendly. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Internal organization Real estate management In collaboration with the IT dept. we also carried out a renovation of an existing backup center of the bank in order to ensure business continuity of payment and settlement systems. Other activities in the Real Estate Management dept. were focused on optimal management of real estate and cost reduction, both as regards maintenance as well as other costs associated with real estate management. Information Technology In the past year, the Information Technology changed its basic role of maintenance, development and ensuring a high level of availability as well as elimination and reduction of risk to being an active participant in each process in the organization. The IT dept. with its operations and the added value allows for better decision-making (data/information), faster, more secure, and quality performance of processes (process optimization and business solutions), carries out an active role in the marketing of banking services/products (online marketing channels, mobile points), while at the same time with the introduction of improvements (technological and processing) improves the cost-effectiveness and safety of the entire organization and customers. Internal control system The internal control system are daily checks for the proper application of policies, work processes, work instructions, tools, etc. Daily controls have a preventive, corrective and steering function, including daily monitoring controls. They are implemented by all employees on a daily basis. They are built-in in the applications, forms, instructions, processes, policies, etc. The main objectives of the internal control system is protection of the assets of owners and investors and building confidence in the correctness of financial reporting. To achieve these objectives a consistent implementation and control of high standards of financial reporting based on national and international standards is required. The internal control system is a product of established methods and criteria. Responsibility for the establishment of daily checks lies on the owners of individual activities. Owners of individual activities are the heads of areas and departments. The purpose of the system of internal control is to: establish effective controls in all areas of the organization’s operations; ensure clear accountability for the implementation of identified controls; ensure proper documentation - the objectives and methods of implementation of internal controls; ensure adequate traceability of the implementation of internal controls. Daily checks are a constantly changing process formed by the administration (the management), the owners of individual activities and all other employees. The aim of the internal control system is to as much as possible reduce the incidence, number, and possibility of intentional and unintentional errors and in this way ensure a continuous trend of their decline. Documents that define the process of installing ICS, are defined by Risk Controlling dept. and related to the project work, preparation of policies, processes, rules of procedures and work instructions. The basis for the framework are Group policies of operational risk management, the internal control system and reputation risk. In 2014 we continued with an inventory of risks and defining the controls and test definitions in the processes that have been with the help of the “Account matrix” identified as significant in terms of materiality for the Bank’s balance sheet. Activities in the area of the internal control system were regularly reported to the Committee on operational risk management, internal control system, and reputation risk (OpRisk Committee). 39 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Internal audit The Internal Audit department, in accordance with the Banking Act, reports to the Supervisory Board about the realization of its annual plan, adequacy and efficiency of risk management, adequacy and efficiency of internal controls system operations, and about important findings and their realization. The Internal Audit department’s annual report is submitted to the Bank’s General Meeting of Shareholders. In line with the Banking Act, the Bank also established the Audit Committee in 2009, which met four times in 2014. In accordance with the Companies Act, the Audit Committee also monitors the Internal Audit efficiency. The Internal Audit department also cooperates with the internal audit department of the parent bank, which at regular meetings sets directives for harmonized operations and reporting. The Internal Audit department employs 5 internal auditors; 2 of them have obtained the title of a certified internal auditor, whereas 1 is currently in the final stage of the training course to obtain the licence. In 2014, the Internal Audit department of the parent bank carried out external assessment of all internal audit functions in the Group. This time the focus was on key indicators, communication with third parties, monitoring of recommendations and implementation of external audits. The report issued confirmed compliance with standards in all material respects. Based on the findings, the department will carry on with the implementation of activities to improve the quality of operations. 40 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Expectations for the Future 2014 was in Hypo Bank marked by successful sale of Hypo Group to a new strategic owner Advent International and the EBRD bank, which confirms that we have carried out our strategic projects of recent years properly and in due time. The sale of the bank will be completed in 2015, which further motivates us to optimise the key business processes and upgrade activities related to customers. We strive for professionalism in all areas of our business as we believe that by doing so we are realizing the expectations of all our stakeholders: clients, local communities, employees and shareholders. Pursuing the set strategy is the key to realization of our key objectives to prove to our strategic investor that we continue to be the best organized and most profitable financial institution in Slovenia. At the end of 2014 the international environment shows a varied picture. The first data are encouraging, which is also reflected in the positive indicators of Slovenia’s position. The negative impact is still expected in the Corporate sector due to the ongoing deleveraging and restructuring of the business, while positive signals are expected in particular in retail banking which is already showing the first signs of recovery after the financial crisis. Our mission remains the strategy of universal financial intermediation, which provides comprehensive financial experience to customers in a safe and reliable partnership, regardless of their field of business: banking, leasing, or bancassurance services. Our general universal business model as well as capital stability, strong liquidity and financial position will ensure balanced operations and the flexibility to face future challenges. We are confident that by placing clients in the center of our focus we are supporting the wider economic development in the country and by doing so we will realize our objective of consolidating our reputation and profitability. Our aim is to be one of the top five banks in Slovenia in terms of performance indicators and clients’ choice. 2015 will be marked by the monetary easing by the ECB, which will result in a decrease in interest margins and extension of zero interest rates for a longer period. The most important aspect of our operations in the coming year will be a continuation of focusing on dilligent and in-depth cooperation with our customers and expansion into areas where in the past we have not yet participated. In order to ensure the profitability of the business the Bank will continue with the optimization of its business model, the upgrading of key business processes, reduction of the operating and financing costs, and provision of additional non-interest income. 41 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Social Responsibility of the Bank At the Bank, we are aware of the fact that responsibility for our activities that influence our internal and external environment is of crucial importance. Thus, we feel our responsibility to employees, owners, clients, wider community and supervisors in all our operations. Educational structure Educational structure of our staff is at a very high level and almost 64 percent of employees have either higher education or university degree. Level of education Employees by educational structure in 2014 Employees by educational structure in 2013 Responsibility to employees IV. 2 2 Responsibility for our employees is one of the Bank’s core values, and despite the adverse developments in the past years we have not curtailed funds and activities related to our employees. We are aware that our employees are the foundation for our future development and success.

In accordance with the plan we took certain measures such as allowing parents of children attending school for the first time to take a day off of work, and when a family was going through difficult times or family crisis, family members were able to take unpaid leave. We also started with workshops educating our employees about healthy lifestyle. Balance at 31 December 481 487 Responsibility for our employees is also reflected in regular meetings with the Management Board where employees are able to speak freely about strategically important topics and the Management is able to give answers to questions posed by employees via several different channels agreed in advance. At the end of 2014, the Bank had 481 employees. Movement of employees is shown in the table below: Headcount at 31 December Headcount according to working hours* 2013 487 422,5 2014 481 405,5 Year *Number of employees from working hours shows real number of employees. Following restructuring and integration of the leasing activities there is a number of employees who have employment contracts with both, the Bank and Hypo Leasing under the 50:50 principle. These employees are processed in the records of both, the Bank and Hypo Leasing. 42 Recruitment The recruitment and selection of new employees are supported by clearly defined goals of an individual organizational unit. Priority is given to the internal labor market, and the desires and ambitions of employees are taken into account, allowing the employees career development and transitions between job positions. The selection of employees is systematized in several circles of structured interviews carried out ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report with the job applicants. Where certain more demanding job positions are concerned, the candidates have to undergo testing by a professional external partner. The final decision is made on the basis of the analysis of their expertise and personal competences needed for successful performance at a specific post. Education and training We believe that only highly qualified staff can follow the development and needs of the Slovene financial market. For this reason, the Bank provides constant and comprehensive expert training of all employees. This constant need for new expertise, as well as for knowledge from the field of personal development, are present all year round and each year more employees participate in educational training, as compared to the previous year. To achieve business objectives, we have set key educational domains for the development of banking business which arise from strategic requirements. Each year, we organize various internal trainings in accordance with our needs. In 2014 we focused on the following training and education activities: banking basics - a comprehensive education on banking intended for all employees who have joined Hypo recently, Fit & Proper education for executives and key function holders on current requirements imposed by European legislation and financial regulators, training to obtain licenses for insurance brokerage, international training in risk management, training as part of the Hypo Business Academy where our employees attended a number of different workshops including: Stress management, Team work, Internal and Public Speaking, Communication, and others. All these courses were very versatile providing participants with a wide spectrum of applicable knowledge and skills required for successful performance of their jobs. For the second year in the row the Hypo Business Academy was received extremely well by the employees. It presents a direct answer to employee satisfaction survey results. Certain internal trainings are also organized at the Hypo Group level, mostly for key management staff, as well as for specific work fields where there is a requirement for specific knowledge and expertise. We also offered different levels of English language courses. In addition to internal trainings, employees often participate in seminars, conferences or debates, organized by the Bank Association of Slovenia or other relevant institutions. Each year selected employees take the exam or obtain a license for insurance intermediaries and for the sale of investment coupons or shares of investment funds. Besides the above mentioned, the Bank often co-finances part-time studies or educational courses to obtain various licenses in the financial field. The employees transfer the knowledge obtained through education or self-education to their colleagues through their activities within sectors or departments. In spite of our dedication to cost optimization, education of our employees is high on the list of priorities and for this reason we make sure funds are available for the implementation of a variety of courses and trainings. HR projects HypoDAY is definitely our biggest pride and one of the most notable projects aimed at employees. After successful performances in previous years, in 2014 we continued with projects that have attracted even more volunteers. The last campaign was carried out in one of Ljubljana kindergartens, where volunteers have arranged the surroundings and improved the playground for children. Traditionally, the next project in 2014 was humanitarian - in the time preceding the Christmas holidays, in the middle of December, we collected food for socially disadvantaged families. Another high-profile project also took place in December. For the third time we awarded prizes for excellence HippOSCARs. More than 400 employees attended the event and honoured the best employees in specific areas. The employees were rewarded with symbolic prizes. In 2014 we also continued to publish our electronic newsletter “HyperAKTIVC”, which received enthusiastic reception 43 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report from employees and will continue to be a source of in-depth information presented in a light manner. Employee satisfaction is important to us Through donations, the Bank actively contributes to the development of the Hypo Sports and Culture Association, which enables its members to participate in chosen sports and cultural activities at very favorable prices. By doing this, we are strengthening the relations and cooperation of employees also outside of the working environment. The Association’s activities remain varied and attract large numbers of employees. In 2014 we organised our first Hypo Olympic games. Teams from different organizational units in the Bank competed supported by loud cheers of their fans. Annual interviews and management by objectives The aim of yearly interviews is to ensure, on a long-term basis, successful operations of the Bank. Yearly interviews enable us to systematically set new targets, review the implementation of the agreed targets in the previous year, and provide for systematic professional and personal development of the managerial staff and associates. Annual interviews are first held by the head of department with his/her superiors or the Management Board, followed by an interview of the head with its subordinates. After the conclusion of the interviews, the head and the subordinate are responsible for the implementation of the agreed targets, while the human resources department provides for the organization of agreed trainings and implementation of the development plans in line with the strategy of the Bank. Target interviews are held twice a year and development interviews once a year. Bonus system Remuneration in the Bank is shown in the variable portion of the salary and is closely linked to management by objectives. By applying individual remuneration, we want to incite the development of an individual employee, while the group remuneration aims at better motivation for team work and achievement of targets as a team. The amount of bonus and criteria were adapted to present conditions and performance results, but we believe it is important to keep 44 the remuneration system, which has a positive impact on employees and contributes to more successful operations and development of the Bank. Reward policy Our reward policy complies with provisions of the labor legislation, CEBS guidelines, Bank of Slovenia decisions and EU directives pertaining to capital requirements. In accordance with the policy adopted by the parent bank in Austria, our local policy that regulates payments to employees in Slovenia, is drafted and adopted for each individual year. This policy clearly sets criteria and conditions for payment of bonuses to the managerial staff and employees. When a member of management or staff qualifies for bonus, the payment is made only after prior approval of the Supervisory Board. Members of staff with special powers, who are able to significantly affect the risk profile of the Bank, include members of the Management Board and directors of individual sectors including risk management and internal audit. The amount of reward and criteria for payment depend on the economic situation. In accordance with the Group’s reward policy, no rewards were paid to employees in 2014. Plans for the future In 2015 we will continue with our projects, while also make plans for new and additional activities prepared with the aim of connecting various organizational units. The aim of these activities is to strengthen inter-departmental cooperation and, consequently, optimization of business processes in the Bank, which will, among other things, raise the level of banking services. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Responsibility to owners Responsibility to the owner of the Bank is expressed by our daily communications, regular monthly reports, publishing of the annual report and cooperation with the Supervisory Board. The Bank has a single owner, to whom it used to pay the total profit after taxes, decreased by statutory reserves in the amount of five percent of the profit until 2009. However, in 2009 the Bank transferred the total realized profit to reserves and did not pay out dividends. In 2014 and 2013, the Bank realized no profit and did not pay dividends. for unlimited net deposits of investors until 31 December 2010. As of 1 January 2011, such guarantee applies for the pay-out of the banking deposits totaling up to EUR 100,000. Responsibility to clients Responsibility to the wider community The Bank demonstrates responsibility to its clients through a wide range of its products and services. Relations between the Bank and its clients are based on trust and understanding of the client’s needs. The Bank adapts to clients’ needs by improving the existing and developing new banking services through modern business channels and approaches. The resources that the Bank dedicated to sponsorship and donations in 2013 and 2014 are presented in the following table. In operations, the protection of the client’s personal data and client’s rights present one of the most important principles of the Bank. Of course, along with that, the soft factors of cooperation, aimed at keeping the clients or further improving the professional relationship with them, are of key importance. One of such approaches is the organization of various events for clients (of cultural, sports or business nature), by which we demonstrate our appreciation for their trust and loyalty. One of the key tools available to us and also very useful, is market research. At the Group level and in particular on the local level, we performed numerous studies, the results of which we have used to improve our operation in the market. We monitor the market and economic trends and legislation, both at home and in Europe. Accordingly, in the preparation of new services we adapt to the requirements of customers, who are our first concern. We regularly monitor our customer satisfaction, the results of which are our primary consideration when introducing changes to improve service quality and service delivery. In accordance with the banking legislation, the Bank guaranteed for the pay-out of the banking deposits in the sum of EUR 22,000 until 11 November 2008. After that date, the banks, savings banks and the Republic of Slovenia guaranteed EUR 000’ Advertising expenses 2014 2013 570 757 EUR 000’ Sponsorship Donations 2014 2013 288 130 53 50 Through a wide network of its branches, the Bank covers the whole territory of Slovenia and we have good relations with local and wider community. Our involvement in social activities is supported by our sponsorships and donations as well as our active involvement in humanitarian, sports and cultural events. As part of the “Hypo Pro Futuro” project at the level of the whole Hypo Alpe Adria Group, we are engaged in humanitarian events aiming at providing help to underprivileged children. We are aware that there are large numbers of children, who seldom experience the sunny side of life and our goal is to bring smiles to their faces. In December, the Bank and Hypo Leasing fulfilled their responsibility to social community through two cash donations. Some of the funds earmarked as Christmas gifts for business partners were donated to underprivileged families with the assistance of the Moste Polje Association of Friends of Youth to make their Christmas and NewYear holidays a little bit more festive. Employees also participated in this humanitarian assistance and collected a “Christmas tree” made up of clothing, footwear, food and cosmetics for families most in need of assistance. We donated the second part of the New 45 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. business report Responsibility to supervisors and the state Year’s donation to the development of talented young athletes within the 18th “Sonček” (Sun) day event. For several years in a row we have contributed with our donations to quality execution of a summer camp in Zorman Handball Academy. In August 2014 we joined the project Sponsorship, which we plan to continue in the future.The entire Hypo Alpe Adria Group was also involved in the delivery of assistance (material and financial) to areas of flooding in countries where Hypo Group is present (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia). Employees showed their compassion by taking part in the project “HypoDAY for a good cause” the aim of which is to join forces to provide assistance to the needy. Hypo volunteers spent a day in Oton Zupančič kindergarten units, helping to clear their surroundings. Supporting sports and sporting acitivities is our contribution to a better, healthier lifestyle. With sponsorship funds we are involved in the lives of those who represent our country in the European and global environment. In this way we demonstrate our support to athletes, we salute their endurance, discipline, competitiveness and desire to accomplish goals. We have, among others, sponsored the Slovenian football team NK Olimpija, local sports and other events (e.g. trotting races in Murska Sobota, jumping in Krka river in Novo Mesto, “Brežice my city” event, Street football event, etc). With its donations and sponsorship contributions, the Bank is actively involved also in the cultural happening in the Slovenian area. Support of cultural events, festivals and performances is becoming a part of our activities. By donating, we express our support to cultural activity as one of the most important spheres of social life. In these cultural events we also include our clients, thus adding value to our relationship with them. For many years we have regularly collaborated with the Ljubljana Summer Festival in Križanke. We also support all activities that accelerate the economic development. For a number of years, we have cooperated with the Celje Fair and sponsored the International Trade Fair. We were also active at the Career Fair “Moje delo 2014” and the international Agriculture and Food Fair - AGRA. 46 In accordance with the Banking Act, the supervision of banking operations is carried out by the Bank of Slovenia within the framework of reviews at the supervised bank’s headquarters and through reports which the Bank sends regularly each month. This way, permanent supervision over banks and savings banks is assured, which allows for the safety and stability of the financial system in Slovenia. Through cooperation with the financial system supervisory institutions and external auditors, the Bank obtains appropriate assurances that its operations are within the framework of the legislation of the Republic of Slovenia and within the framework of the general norms in effect for well-regulated and stable members of financial system. The Bank builds the cooperation with institutions on an open and fair relationship, which leads to cooperative search for solutions. This, according to independent supervisors and consultants, assures long-term stability of the Bank’s operations. In case of substantial changes in the systems of the Bank’s operations, the Bank attempts to obtain in advance positive opinions on the planned solutions, which it intends to implement in its operating environment, with the purpose of obtaining reassurance, that these are in accordance with the legislation and that they do not present significant threat to the Bank’s development. The Bank strives to obtain independent opinions for all key risks from at least one independent body. The funds spent in 2013 and 2014 on payment of taxes are illustrated in the following table. EUR 000’ Taxes 2014 2013 3,216 3,133 Liability for taxes slightly increased in 2014.

Hypo network consists of 6 banking groups in five countries of South Eastern Europe (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro). The sale of Hypo network, which was owned by the Republic of Austria, is a result of the implementation of the measures taken by the European Commission on 3 September 2013.

Full address of the Bank is: Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d., Dunajska cesta 117, Ljubljana, Slovenia. The Bank’s sole owner isHypo Group Alpe Adria AG, Klagenfurt, Austria. Until 29 December 2009, the ultimate parent of the Bank was Bayern LB, Germany. On 30 December 2009, the ultimate parent of the Company became the Republic of Austria, with 100-percent ownership of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG. For the purpose of restructuring at the Group level, as at 30 March 2014, shares were transferred from Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG to SEE Holding AG. On 30 October SEE Holding AG was renamed to Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG. The consolidated financial statements of the Group, in addition to Hypo Hypo Alpe-Adra-Bank d.d. also include Hypo Leasing d.o.o., which is fully consolidated. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent bank, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: The consolidated financial statements can be obtained at the following addresses or web pages: derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest Dunajska cesta 117 1000 Ljubljana derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity Slovenia recognises the fair value of the consideration received www.hypo-alpe-adria.si recognises the fair value of any investment retained recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG Alpen-Adria-Platz 1 9020 Klagenfurt Austria www.hypo-alpe-adria.com reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate. All the amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes are stated in thousands euros unless stated otherwise. The Company’s owners have the right to adjust the financial statements after their publication and approval by the management. 57 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Important accounting policies The following accounting guidelines have been applied in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies were, unless otherwise stated, also used in previous years. The presented accounting policies and estimates are used throughout the Group despite indications that they are used for the Bank. Financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The Bank prepares its financial statements (with the exception of the cash flow information) on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared under the historical cost convention and modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, and all derivatives. The Bank’s Annual report includes information and notes as prescribed by the Companies Act, IFRS as adopted by the EU, and the Decision on books of account and annual reports of banks and savings banks. The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires the use of estimates and fundamental accounting assumptions such as going concern and accrual. Under these assumptions, the effects of transactions and other business events are recognized on accrual and not when they are paid, and are recorded and reported for periods to which they refer. The significant accounting estimates and assumptions are presented in Section 24 of the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions are continuously reviewed and are based on the latest information or latest developments or past experience. 1. Going concern assumption The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the process of selling the Bank to the American fund Advent International in cooperation with the EBRD will be completed in 2015. 58 On 22 December 2014 Advent International and EBRD signed an agreement on the purchase of Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG. The decision concerning the new owner has been made in accordance with the decision of the European Commission adopted in September 2013. Completion of the sales process is subject to approval by the European Commission and the competent supervisory authorities. It is also conditional on the fulfillment of a number of additional conditions. Group and individual subsidiary banks actively participate in the procedure to complete the sale. It is anticipated that the sales process will be completed by the end of June 2015. By the end of March 2014 the majority owner of Hypo AlpeAdria-Bank d.d. Ljubljana was Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG in Klagenfurt. In preparation for the process of selling the network of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank subsidiaries operating in southeastern Europe, the shares of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank d.d. Ljubljana held at the Central Securities Depository were transferred from the account of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG Klagenfurt to the account of the transferee Hypo SEE Holding AG Klagenfurt, registration no. FN 350921, AlpenAdria-Platz 1 in Klagenfurt. On 30 October 2014 Hypo SEE Holding AG changed its name to Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG (HAAG). At the end of October 2014 HGAA was sold to FIMBAG and was in this way separated from the previous shareholder Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG. 2. Segment Reporting In accordance with IFRS 8, the Bank is not required to report per individual business segments as it has not issued either debt or equity instruments that are traded publicly (on domestic or foreign stock exchange or outside the stock market inclusive of local or regional markets) and has not submitted or is not in the process of submitting its financial statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission or another administrative organization with intention to issue any group of instruments on a public market. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report 3. Foreign Currency Translation Functional and reporting currency The financial statement items of the Bank are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates, i.e. euro, which is a functional and presentation currency of the Bank. Translation of foreign currency transactions Translation gains and losses resulting from the change of amortized cost of monetary securities nominated in foreign currency that are classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in the profit or loss. Translation gains and losses resulting from non-monetary securities, such as equities, classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are recognized in the revaluation reserves together with the fair value measurement effect. Gains and losses resulting from purchase and sale of foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss as net profit from financial assets and liabilities held for trading. 4. Interest Income and Expense Interest income from debt securities is recognized in the profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments. Interest income and expenses for other interest bearing financial instruments are recognized in the profit or loss in the charged amounts on the basis of the amounts, deadlines, and methods prescribed by the Bank’s interest rates price list. Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of impairment, interest income is recognized using the rate of interest applied in discounting future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest income derived using the method described is unwinding and is recognized separately from the ordinary interest income. Interest income includes regular, default and deferred interest for interest bearing financial instruments and prepaid fees for approved loans. Interest on liabilities for deposits and borrowings are recognized as interest expenses. 5. Fee and Commission Income and Expense Fees and commissions are generally recognized on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Fees and commissions for services that are performed continuously in a certain period of time are recognized proportionally over the period in which the service is performed. Fees and commissions include primarily fees for payment transactions, commissions on loan transactions (loan management fees, costs of reminders), commission on brokerage transactions and warranty fees. Fees resulting from approval of loans are recognized as interest income and expenses. 6. Dividend income Dividends are recognized in the income statement when they are declared. 7. Financial assets a) Classification On initial recognition, the Bank classifies the financial assets to the following groups according to the purpose of acquisition, duration of possession and type of financial instrument: held to maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, or investments in loans and receivables. Financial assets classified as held to maturity Held-to-maturity financial asset are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that an entity intends and is able to hold to maturity and that do not meet the definition of loans and receivables and are not designated on initial recognition as assets at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost. If the Bank sells other than 59 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report insignificant amounts of held-to-maturity financial assets, or as a consequence of a non-recurring, isolated event beyond its control that could not be reasonably anticipated, all of its other held-to-maturity financial assets must be reclassified as available-for-sale in the current and next two financial years. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets, which the Bank intends to hold for indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to liquidity requirements, changes of interest rates, currency exchange rates or prices of financial instruments. The Bank can exceptionally be allowed to use valuation model for measurement of the fair value of defined financial instruments, if it is able to prove, that the existing market for these financial assets is not active. To define if a market is active or inactive, the Bank must define the key parameters, which indicate market activity. It is also important to follow up the trends in those parameters. The parameters should be used consistently according to the content and in time, so that as much of subjective judgement in interpretation of the given results can be eliminated as possible. The Bank should take in account all risk parameters under the conditions of inactive market, which would be under the condition of the active market, required by the participants on the market, most of all the issuer’s credit risk and the premium for liquidity. Financial Assets Held for Trading A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired principally for sale of repurchase in the near term, or forms part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of short-term profit taking. Derivative financial assets are also classified as held for trading. In the statement of financial position, derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at cost which is equal to the fair value of consideration received or granted. They are measured at fair value which is determined on a daily basis using generally accepted financial methodology, whereby quotations/prices of inputs (e.g. zero coupon yield 60 curve, FRA, interest rate differentials of currencies, etc.) are obtained from information systems such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Fair values of derivatives are recognized either within assets or liabilities when their fair value is negative. All derivative financial instruments of the Bank are classified as financial assets held for trading and are not used in hedge accounting. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not traded on an active market. b) Initial recognition and measurement All financial assets are recognized on the date of trading at fair value, which equals their cost, increased (for instruments that are not recognized at fair value through profit or loss) by costs that are directly attributable to the transaction, whereas for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, costs of the transaction are reported in the profit or loss. Subsequent measurement of a financial asset reflects its initial designation. Financial assets held for trading and available-for-sale financial assets are recognized at fair value. Gains or losses on financial assets at fair value and held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss of the period in which they accrued. Gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets designated at fair value are recognized in the other comprehensive income until the asset is derecognized or impaired, in which case gains and losses are transferred to profit or loss. Interest accrued on the basis of effective interest rate method and exchange-rate differences from cash items classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognized directly in profit or loss. Loans and receivables, and financial assets held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report c) Reclassification of financial assets Financial instruments may only be reclassified from heldfor-trading group in exceptional circumstances such as when balancing maturity structure of assets and liabilities or natural hedging against market risks. The fair value at the reclassification date becomes financial instrument’s new amortized cost. Reclassification of an asset from the group of financial assets held to maturity is not allowed. d) Derecognition Derecognition of financial assets is carried out when contractual rights to cash flows expire, or when they are transferred to another party and where such transfer fulfils the criteria for derecognition (an entity has transferred all risks and benefits of the asset). e) Principles applied in fair value measurement The calculation of the fair value of financial assets traded on an active market is based on the published market value on day of the statement of financial position, namely the price that represents the highest demand value excluding the transaction costs. The fair value assessment of financial instruments not traded in an active market is based on values obtained from an external expert. The Bank verifies the assessment values and if confirmed, the assessed values are taken into account. In case there is no external expert’s valuation an internal valuation is prepared. Internal valuations are prepared using standard valuation methods such as discounted future cash flow model, peer-to-peer analysis (direct comparison with companies that are publicly traded) and liquidation method. Final valuation of the financial asset takes into account all approaches, but using different weights, depending on industry, financial stability of the company and other factors that can affect fair value of financial instruments. In accordance with IFRS 13, for valuation of derivatives in 2013, the Bank for the first time considered CVA and DVA parameters. The CVA parameter (credit valuation adjustment) equals expected losses due to counterparty credit risks with whom a financial institutions (the Bank) enters into an OTC transactions. Under consideration of the credit risk, fair value is calculated as derivative’s market value less CVA. The DVA concept (debt valuation adjustment) is a self-assessment (cost price) of credit risk that is added to the derivative’s market value. 8. Impairment of Financial Assets a) Financial Assets at Amortized Cost General: The Bank makes an assessment of its financial assets portfolio at amortized cost and off-balance exposure on a monthly basis using its own methodology: The necessary impairment is recognized for financial assets at amortized cost, and The required provisions are set aside for off-balancesheet exposures. The method used to create the necessary impairment of financial assets at amortized cost depends primarily on the exposure (the Bank distinguishes between individually relevant exposures and individually irrelevant exposures) and on formal status of financial assets. The Bank distinguishes between the financial assets that are subjected to breaches of material factors defined by the Bank as objective factors indicating an impairment of the financial asset, and the financial assets where no such factors are detected. In accordance with the methodology of the HGAA Group, the Bank treats each client, whose total exposure exceeds EUR 150,000, as individually significant exposure. Distinguishing Between Different Methods of Impairment of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost Financial assets at amortized costs are classified into one of the following segments for the purpose of impairment: Individually significant exposures, in relation to which a breach of at least one objective factor indicating the impairment of the financial asset at amortized cost is detected; Individually insignificant exposures, in relation to which a breach of at least one objective factor indicating the impairment of the financial asset at amortized cost is detected; 61 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report All exposures where no breach of any of the objective factors indicating the impairment of the financial asset at amortized cost is detected and where an individual impairment is not required. In its internal policies, the Bank specified the following objective factors indicating the impairment of the financial asset at amortized cost: Materially important delay in settlement of contractual obligations lasting over 90 days; Bankruptcy or compulsory settlement of the client; Existence of proof of client’s serious financial problems, including also: Reprogramming due to client’s economic, legal or other problems, Irregular settlement of liabilities within the group of related entities, Poor client’s internal rating; or Significant economic problems in the client’s industry. Detailed Presentation of Individual Methods of Impairment of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost Individual impairment Individually relevant exposures are addressed individually; in the event of a breach of at least one of previously determined factors that objectively indicate the impairment of an individual financial asset at amortized cost, such exposures are impaired individually. The Bank individually assesses expected cash flows for repayment (it evaluates expected cash flows from regular loan repayment as well as expected cash flows from realization of collateral); in the event of negative difference between the discounted value of all expected cash flows and the book value of receivable, the Bank creates individual impairment. Realization of collateral is recognized as potential future cash flow in cases where the collateral fulfils the required formal criteria with regards to the degree of legal certainty and recovery. Impairment of such exposures is referred to individual impairment (also known as Specific Risk Provisions – SRP). 62 Based on the available information, the Bank makes individual assessment in terms of the time and amount of expected repayment, whereas current value of expected cash flows is calculated with the use of discounted effective interest rate. Collective impairment Individually irrelevant exposures that also fulfil at least one of the previously determined factors are grouped into groups with similar characteristics, and collectively impaired using the formula that reflects the fact that at least one factor, which objectively indicates the impairment of individual financial asset, was breached. The amount of impairments created depends primarily on the scope of relevant collateral (it is the exposed part of the investment that is subject to collective impairment) and on the segment into which the exposure is allocated. The loans and other financial assets at amortized cost granted to the following borrowers are designated by the Bank as groups of loans with similar attributes: Group of financial assets granted to enterprises for their regular operations; Group of financial assets granted to sole proprietors; Group of financial assets granted to public sector entities and budget users; Group of financial assets granted to individuals. The impairments for the above exposures are called Collective Impairments (CI). In 2014 the Bank followed the HAA Group’s methodology relating to group impairments and achieved greater coverage by those impairments. Group Impairments - latent losses Group impairments (Latent losses) are recognized for exposures that as of the reporting date do not violate any of the objective factors indicating the impairment of the financial asset and for individually treated exposures where no individual impairment is required. Group impairments (Latent losses) are computed using mathematical formula that reflects the fact that there are no objective factors indicating impairment of the financial asset. The mathematical formula derives from the Basel II methodology, adjusted for the assessment of the ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report scope of realized but not yet identified losses in the Bank’s portfolio. The adjustment is made in respect of collateral and determination of the time period in which the Bank is capable of detecting the occurrence of the loss. Relevant value of Collateral: The relevant value of collateral used by the Bank is the market value of collateral decreased by: Expected costs of realization of such collateral, Expected decrease of the collateral’s value due to the realization process, Considering the time component of the realization of collateral (discounting). The cumulative effect of all three factors, which cause the current value of expected cash flows from realization of collateral to be normally lower than its current market value, is reported by the Bank in its calculations through use of special coefficients, in accordance with the policy of the HGAA Group. For collateral to be confirmed as being accounted for, it must meet at least minimum criteria in terms of legal certainty and recovery and the Bank must be in possession of an authentic assessment of the collateral’s market value. Probability of default The Bank assesses the probability of default on the basis of internal rating tools. According to the Hypo Group policy, different rating tools are used for individual segments of clients. Regardless of the tool applied, the final results are transferred to a single 25-level scale that determines the probability of default for each client separately. Expected loss in the event of default The expected scope of loss in the event of default (loss given default) is shown using the LGD coefficient, which indicates what part of unsecured exposure the Bank can expect to lose in the event of default. The coefficients are compliant with the HGAA Group policies and follow the conservative assessment of expected losses in the IRB approach to the new Capital Directive CAD III. Segment LGD (Basel II Standard) Banks 0,50 Regional government and local authorities 0,45 Central government and central banks 0,45 Individuals 0,90 Legal entities 0,70 Public sector entities 0,50 Project financing 0,75 Period in which the Bank identifies the realization of portfolio loss The Bank has defined the period, in which it recognizes the realization of loss in its portfolio (Loss identification period), as a period during which the Bank can detect that the client is breaching one of the objective indicators of impairment of the financial asset. The Bank has implemented a monitoring system by means of which it believes that it is capable of detecting the negative events for most of its clients in relatively short time. The Bank uses the LIP factor of 1.0 for financial assets where regardless of the sufficient frequency in monitoring of the portfolio, the Bank is unable to assess with sufficient probability potential loss since the regularity of repayments of liabilities does not reflect the ability of clients to repay loans when they mature. Such transactions include above all overdraft facilities on transaction accounts, credit lines, guarantees, and loans with a single repayment or loans with a moratorium. For all other exposure the Bank uses the LIP factor 0.5. b) Available-for-sale financial assets The Bank assesses on a monthly basis whether there are any indications of impairment of available-for-sale financial assets. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets available for sale has been incurred, the 63 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report cumulative loss that has been (previously) recognized in OCI impairment is transferred from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses included in profit or loss as equity instruments are not reversed through profit or loss. If the value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. The Bank applies the following criteria to determine whether available-for-sale financial assets have been impaired: For debt instruments: fair value is lower than 90 percent of the purchase value (which represents the value of 100 percent), For equity instruments: significant decrease of the fair value lasting more than 9 months, and the fair value falls more than 20 percent below the purchase value. c) Restructured loans The Bank assesses the restructured loans individually at the time of approval of restructured loan in order to determine the need for impairment. When a loan is restructured due to client’s economic, legal or other problems that significantly affect the client’s future ability to repay its obligations, the Bank accordingly reclassifies such client to a lower rating grade and individually assesses on a monthly basis the need for individual impairment. If the Bank does not detect the need for individual impairment, the client is considered within a group using the same methodology as for other investments of the Bank. 9. Property, Plant and Equipment, and Intangible Assets Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are stated at cost in the financial statements less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. On initial recognition, the cost of an asset includes all expenditures that are directly attributed to the acquisition and are necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on an item of property, plant and equipment is added to the cost of the assets and 64 recognized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied in the item of property, plant and equipment will flow to the entity and if these costs can be reliably measured. All other expenditure such as additional investment, maintenance and repairs, are recognized in profit or loss as an expense when incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense is accounted for individually on a straight-line basis by allocation of the costs of the assets to the residual value over the useful lives of the assets. The depreciation (amortization) rates applied are as follows: Buildings Computer hardware Furniture and other equipment Cars Investments in leasehold improvements Intangible assets 2014 Group 2013 2.5% 2.5% 20 to 50% 20 to 33.3% 5 to 50 % 5 to 50 % 12.5 to 20% 20% 5 to 50 % 5 to 50 % 10 to 20% 10 to 20% The residual values of assets and their useful lives are reviewed as of the day of the statement of financial position and are adjusted accordingly, if expectations differ from the previous assessments. The land is recognized separately from the buildings. As it normally has unlimited useful life, the Bank does not depreciate it. The assets are derecognized upon their disposal or when no additional future economic benefits can be expected from their use. Gains and losses resulting from disposal of assets represent the difference between the net gain on disposal and the carrying amount of the asset. The Bank assesses on the day of the statement of financial position, whether there is any impartial evidence that an asset might be impaired. If there is objective evidence that an asset has been impaired, the assessment of the recoverable amount is made. The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use of the asset and its fair value less costs of disposal. If the recoverable value is higher than the carrying amount, the ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report impairment of assets is not required, whereas if the contrary is true, impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss in the amount of the difference between the recoverable and carrying amount of the assets. 10. Inventories Inventories are included under item “Other assets”. On the level of the Group the Inventories represent: Repossessed vehicles and equipment under finance lease contracts that were canceled. First inventories are valued on the basis of the sum of future principle repayments from each of the leasing contracts. If so established carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset the impairment is recognized under revaluation expenses. Items for subsequent financial leases, for which an invoice for the payment of the purchase price by the end of the financial year has already been obtained, however the contract with the lessee has not yet been activated. Inventories are stated at a lower cost than the purchase price and the net realizable value. Finance lease is a transfer of all significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the leased asset. Finance leases are recognized as assets and liabilities in the amount of fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum total of lease payments. Depreciation of leased assets is consistent with the accounting policies of own depreciated assets. In the event that there is no guarantee that the lessee will take ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease, the depreciation period is shorter than the useful life of the leased asset or the contractual period of the lease. Bank or Group as the Lessor For an asset leased as finance lease the present value of future lease payments is shown as finance lease receivables. Finance lease income is recognized in profit or loss over the entire life of the lease. Finance lease receivables are recognized in the amount of net investment in the lease inlcluding unguaranteed residual value. The Group values inventories at purchase price. For operating leases the lease payments received are included in income in proportion to the duration of the contract. Assets leased under operating leases are recognized in the statement of financial position as investment property or tangible assets. 11. Leases 12. Cash and cash equivalents A lease is a contractual relationship in which the lessor transfers the right to the asset for an agreed period of time to the lessee in exchange for a payment or a series of payments. Lease contracts are accounted for as finance or operating lease in accordance with their initial classification. The key factor for classifying a lease is the scope in which the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred from the lessor to the lessee. In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash and balances with the Central Bank excluding the obligatory reserves, short-term bank deposits and other, short-term highly liquid investments with maturity of up to 90 days. Bank or Group as the Lessee The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method, i.e. Version II. Leases where the lessor retains a significant portions of the risks and rewards of ownership (of the asset) are classified as operating leases. Payments for operating leases are included in the profit and loss statement in proportion to the duration of the contract. When an operating lease is terminated prematurely, all payments required by the lessor are recognized as an expense in the period the contract was terminated in. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortized costs. 13. Statement of cash flows policy 14. Provisions A provision is recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount thereof can be reliably measured. 65 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required for the settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. The Bank recognizes the provisions in respect of potential credit-related obligations (financial and service guarantees, provisions for undrawn part of the loan), employees’ benefits (jubilee awards, termination benefits upon retirement), and provisions for potential litigation. 15. Taxes The corporate income tax is accounted for at the tax rate applicable on the date of the statement of financial position. Tax is levied on the tax basis determined in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Act. The tax rate applicable for 2014 is 17 percent. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes; deferred tax is recognized at the rate enacted/substantively enacted that are expected to apply in the periods when temporary differences reverse. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The deferred tax, associated with the measurement of available-for-sale financial instruments, is recognized directly in the equity. 16. Consolidation At the cut-off date the Bank has two subsidiaries in its balance sheet: Hypo Rešitve d.o.o. Hypo Leasing d.o.o. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are shown on separate financial statements and the notes of the Bank. 66 The Bank fully consolidates the financial statements of the subsidiary Hypo Leasing d.o.o. Full consolidation means that the accounts of all companies in the group are added up from item to item and the following are excluded: direct and indirect equity investments of the Bank in subsidiaries (consolidation of capital), mutual receivables and liabilities, mutual income and expense, unrealized net gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions. In the consolidation the Bank takes into account the following assumptions: separate financial statements have been prepared on the basis of uniform accounting policies for like transactions, items in separate financial statements are equally broken down and presented, separate financial statements are prepared for the same financial year. The Bank as the acquiring company decided to use for the accounting of the business combination the “pooling of interests” method. This decision enables it to use IAS 8 which requires that in the absence of specific guidance in IFRS the management at its own discretion develop and use appropriate and credible accounting policy. Characteristics of the “Pooling of interest” method: Both companies (the acquirer and the acquired company) keep their financial statements in a manner that shows that the companies have always been in the group. In the consolidated financial statements all the assets acquired and liabilities are carried at book value and shall not be revalued to fair value as at the purchase method. In addition, there is no adjustment to fair value and no recognition of new assets or liabilities at the date of acquisition as it would be in the case of the purchase method. The only adjustment that is needed is to harmonize and standardize accounting policies. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Investment in subsidiary is recognized at nominal value. In the consolidated statements of financial position, goodwill is not formed. Any difference between the purchase value of the investment and the capital of the acquired company at the level of consolidated statements is reflected in equity (retained earnings / losses). The consolidated income statement includes the full-year financial results of both acquiring and the acquired company, regardless of when the business combination occurred. 17. Employee benefits In accordance with the law, the Bank provides to its employees jubilee awards and termination benefits upon retirement. An independent actuary calculates the provisions on the date of the statement of financial position. The calculation of the termination benefits upon retirement is tied to the pension qualifying period of each individual employee. All the changes in provisions set aside for jubilee awards are recognized in the profit or loss, as are changes in provisions created for termination benefits on retirement. Actuarial gains and losses recognized on account of provisions for pension benefits are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Employees are entitled to receive the jubilee award for every ten years of service with the same employer. The Bank pays social security contributions at the rate of 8.85 percent in accordance with the Slovenian legislation. These payments are recognized in the financial statements as labor costs in the period they refer to. 18. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities (received loans, deposits, securities) are initially recognized at fair value (normally at purchase price). The costs of transaction are recognized in the profit or loss. After initial measurement they are recognized at amortized cost. The difference between the initially recognized value and the final value of the asset is shown in the profit or loss as interest expense using the effective interest rate method. A financial liability is derecognized only when the contractual obligation is fulfilled, cancelled or expired. 19. Share capital Share capital is recorded in the nominal value and has been subscribed and paid-up by the owners. 20. Financial guarantees Financial guarantee contracts require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs if a specified debtor fails to make payment when due under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Such guarantees are issued to banks, financial institutions, and other entities as means of securing loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities. Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognized at fair value which is equal to the fee received. Fees received are transferred to profit or loss using the straight-line method. 21. Fiduciary accounts The Bank also offers its clients securities brokerage services and asset management services. Operations are conducted through a separate account and the client assumes the operational risk. A commission charged for these services to clients is recorded in the Note number 3b. These assets are not included in the statement of financial position but rather in the off-balance-sheet items as authorized operations. Additionally, in accordance with the local legislation, assets and liabilities of brokerage services’ clients as well as revenues and fee and commission income and expense related to brokerage services are recorded in Note no. 34. 22. Fair value under IFRS 13 The Group measures derivative financial instruments at fair value as at the reporting date. Fair value measurement is also applied to the initial measurement of financial assets subsequently measured at amortized cost. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on an assumption that the sale or transfer transaction takes place either on: The principal market for the asset or a liability, or 67 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report In the absence of a principal market, on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The entity must have access to the principal or the most advantageous market. Fair value of an asset or a liability is measured under the assumptions which market participants would use to determine the price of an asset or a liability when acting in their own benefit, i.e. their own economic interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Bank uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. 68 of the financial statements for the year that ended on 31 December 2013 with the exception of new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter IASB) and Interpretations Committee of the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter IFRIC) and endorsed by the European Union and whose application is mandatory for annual reporting period that begins with 1 January 2014.

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and adopted by the European Union that are not yet in force At the date of authorization of these financial statements the following standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU, were issued but have not yet entered into force: Amendments to various standards Improvements to IFRS (2010-2012), resulting from the annual improvements to IFRS (IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, MSR 24 and IAS 38), in particular with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying text adopted by the EU on 17 December 2014 (amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on 1 February 2015 or later); Amendments to various standards Improvements to IFRS (2011–2013), resulting from the annual improvements to IFRS (IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40), in particular with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying text adopted by the EU on 18 December 2014 (amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2015 or later); Amendments to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - Defined benefit plans: Contributions of employee adopted by the EU on 17 December 2014 (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 February 2015 or later); IFRIC 21 - Levies, adopted by the EU on 13 December 2014 (effective for annual periods beginning on 17 June 2014 or later); The Bank and the Group forsee that the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations will not have a significant impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union Currently, IFRS, as adopted by the EU, do not differ significantly from the regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the exception of the following standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations that on the publication date of the financial statements (listed below dates of entry into force apply to the entire IFRS) have not been validated for use in the EU: IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2018 or later); IFRS 14 - Regulatory deferral accounts (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2017 or later); Amendments to IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 - Investments in associates and joint ventures - Sale or contribution of funds between investors and its affiliated companies and joint ventures (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); Amendments to IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 28 - Separate Financial Statements Investment companies: exemptions in consolidation (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); Amendment to IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements - accounting for acquisition of shares in the joint action (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - The initiative for disclosure (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); 69 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38 - Intangible Assets - Explanation of acceptable methods of depreciation (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment and IAS 41 - Agriculture - Agriculture: bearer plants (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); Amendments to IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements - equity method in separate financial statements (effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2016 or later); Amendments to various standards Improvements to IFRS (2012–2014), resulting from the annual improvements to IFRS (IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IFRS 19 and IAS 34), in particular with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying text (amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later); The adoption of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities of the Bank and the Group. The introduction of other standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations in the period of initial application will not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Bank and the Group. 24. Significant accounting policies and assessments a) Impairments of loans and receivables The Bank assesses its portfolio of financial assets valued at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet exposure on a monthly basis. In consideration of the objective factors indicating the impairment of the financial asset valued at amortized cost, the Bank assesses the need for its impairment. The objective factors are above all: irregular settlement of liabilities and material delay over 90 days; deterioration of economic conditions in the operating industry; reprogramming due to a client’s economic, legal or other problems. If any client fulfils any of the objective criteria the Bank individually assesses the anticipated cash flows for repayment (it evaluates both the 70 expected cash flows from regular loan repayments as well as potential cash flows resulting from realization of collateral). In the case of a negative difference between the discounted value of all expected cash flows and the carrying amount of the receivable, the Bank makes individual impairments. The Bank makes an assessment of the other clients collectively using its own methodology and parameters, which are reviewed on a regular basis to decrease the differences between estimated and actual losses. Credit portfolio quality and related impairment of loans are significantly dependent on macroeconomic factors. Unexpected development of economic conditions, in particular those that affect the real estate market, cannot be discounted and these could significantly affect the portfolio’s market value. Key assumptions affecting the need for additional impairment in 2015 are the following: 1. Probability of Default (PD): in case of further portfolio deterioration as a result of worsening of economic conditions, the Bank could expect higher default rates than anticipated, which would require additional impairment. On the level of the Group the Bank anticipates a 10% decrease in default rates, which is estimated to require derecognition of EUR 1.8 million of impairment. 2. Collaterals: in case of declining market value of collaterals the Bank could expect reduced cash flows from sold collaterals and therefore additional impairment would be required. Collaterals are on the other hand seen as potential risk mitigator and the Bank has put huge efforts on improving the current portfolio collateralization rate. For this reason, the Bank is considering the possibility to increase the portfolio collateralization by 10 percent. This would lead to an estimated EUR 2.5 million reduction in impairments at the Bank level and EUR 3.0 million on the level of the Group. Applying sensitivity of PD increased by 20 or 30 percent would lead to an estimated EUR 5.0 million or EUR 7.5 million decrease in impairments. On Group level this would lead to an estimated EUR 6.0 million or EUR 9.1 million decrease in impairments. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report A detailed definition is described in point 8: Impairment of financial assets in the context of disclosures – Most significant accounting policies. b) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are impaired if there is a material or prolonged decrease of their fair value below their cost. Duration and the amount of decrease of their fair value are taken into consideration. The need for impairment may also be indicated by evidence of the deterioration in the financial position of the financial instrument’s issuer and the industry sector in which the issuer operates. Criteria applied in recognition of impairment are described in detail in Note 21, Significant accounting policies – Available-for-sale financial assets. Key assumptions affecting the need for additional impairment in 2015: 1. Instruments tied to equity securities; Worsening of issuer’s credit quality as a consequence of further deterioration in certain industries (construction, financial holdings) and their slow recovery. 2. Instruments tied to debt securities: Worsening of issuer’s credit quality and unfavorable movement of market parameters, especially interest rates, as a consequence of the rapid rise in inflation in the EU area. c) Impairment of HTM financial assets Prior to any impairment of held-to-maturity financial assets, the following impairment triggers are checked in relation to individual issuer: information of difficulties with repayments/insolvency, bankruptcy decline in market value by certain percentage of the cost negative market information that could impact solvency past impairment experience. The Bank may decide for impairment based on deterioration of any of the above criteria. d) Deferred taxes The Bank has maintained deferred tax receivables at a slightly lower amount than in the previous year, as in the next 5 years it still expects a similar tax base. This is reinforced by the further development and expansion of the network in the field of retail business, maintaining successful cooperation with businesses and favorable macroeconomic forecasts. e) An investment in a subsidiary The Bank assessed the value of investment in the subsidiary company Hypo Leasing d.o.o. on the basis of an appraisal report. A valuation report has been prepared on the basis of discounting the 5 year plan of Hypo Leasing d.o.o. At the same time the Bank on the basis of the purchase agreement between the Bank and the former owners of Hypo Leasing d.o.o. assessed deviations from the plan used in the valuation report and on this basis, reduced the value of investments. In the future the Bank will monitor the investment on a quarterly basis and determine whether the conditions for testing the investment for impairment are fulfilled. f) Uncertainty in connection with derivative financial instruments In the valuation of derivative financial instruments The Bank also takes into account the calculation parameters CVA and DVA. Parameter CVA (credit valuation adjustment) corresponds to the expected loss due to counterparty credit risk of the company, with which the financial institution (the Bank) concludes the OTC business. Taking into account credit risk the fair value is calculated as the market value of derivative financial instruments minus CVA. The DVA concept (debt valuation adjustment) represents the self valuation (own estimate) of the credit risk, which is added to the market changes in individual issuer’s credit rating 71 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report value of the derivative financial instrument. Credit risk that is added to the derivative’s market value. The Bank is not sensitive to market risks connected to derivatives due to the fact that each derivative sold to a client is at the same closed with the offsetting transaction entered into with the parent bank. 25. Comparative data a) Comparative data of the Group for 2013 The Bank acquired Hypo-Alpe-Adria Leasing d.o.o. on 31 October 2014, therefore comparative data for the Group for 2013 are not available. b) Reclassification of the statement of financial position items in comparative data for 2013 In 2014, the Bank pursuant to the Decision amending the Decision on books of account and annual reports of banks and savings banks (Official Gazette No. 89/2014) for the purpose of publication reclassified the demand deposits with banks (included in item A.5 Loans) to item A.1 Cash and balances at central banks and demand deposits with banks, and the entire item P.1 Financial liabilities to central bank to item P.IV Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

On 30 October 2014 Hypo SEE Holding AG changed its name to Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG. 101 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report a) Share capital Share capital is recorded in the nominal value and has been subscribed and paid-up by the owners. There were no changes in share capital in 2014 as compared to 2013. The last increase in the share capital was carried out in 2008, when the Bank raised EUR 60,000 thousand by issuing 14,378,489 of no-par value shares representing 52.61 percent increase in the subscribed capital. A total of 41,706,318 no-par value shares labelled HYPG are registered with the central register of book-entry securities. In terms of their rights, all shares are ordinary registered no-par value shares. b) Capital reserves In 2014 the change in capital reserves amounted to EUR 61,700 thousand. The increase in the amount of EUR 6,300 thousand was from subsequent payments of the owner. The reduction in the amount of EUR 68,000 thousand was intended to cover the loss and net loss for 2013. In 2013 based on the Decision of the Assembly the Bank used EUR 2,696 thousand of capital reserves to cover the transferred losses of the company. c) Revaluation reserve The revaluation reserve relates to changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets. As at 31 December 2014, the revaluation reserve is negative in the amount of EUR 310 thousand (31 December 2013: EUR 2,243 thousand). d) Profit reserves Profit reserves may only be made from the amounts of net profit for the year and retained earnings. They are intended primarily for settlement of potential future losses. They are classified as obligatory reserves, reserves for own shares, own shares, statutory reserves and other profit reserves. 102 According to the provisions of the Companies Act, the amount of the Bank’s reserves, which comprise obligatory reserves and share premium, has to be equal to 10 percent of the share capital of the Bank or more if so defined by the statute. When obligatory reserves and share premium together do not amount to the above stated amount of the share capital, the Bank has to transfer 5 percent of the net profit less the amount used to cover potential losses brought forward, to the obligatory reserves as at the reporting date. In accordance with a decision adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders, in 2013 EUR 1,862 thousand of profit reserves was used to cover losses carried forward. Share premium and obligatory reserves (time reserves) may only be used under the following conditions: If the total amount of these reserves does not reach the percentage of the share capital determined by law or the Articles of Association, they may only be used: to cover a net loss for the financial year if it cannot be covered from retained net earnings or from other profit reserves; to cover a loss brought forward if it cannot be covered from the net profit for the financial year or from other profit reserves; If the total amount of these reserves exceeds the percentage of the share capital determined by law or the Articles of Association, the surplus amount of these reserves may be used: to increase the share capital from the Bank’s assets; to cover a net loss for the financial year if it cannot be covered from retained earnings, provided that profit reserves are not simultaneously used for a pay-out of profit to the members, and to cover a net loss brought forward if it cannot be covered from a net profit for the financial year, provided that profit reserves are not simultaneously used for a pay-out of profit to the members. Other profit reserves may be used for any purpose, unless stated otherwise in the statute.

Banja Luka, Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank AD Beograd. 110 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report The Bank is in 100-percent ownership of Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG with headquarters in Klagenfurt, Austria. Since 30 October 2014 the Bank has a subsidiary Hypo Leasing d.o.o.. In addition, through its parent bank, the Bank is indirectly linked to banks and companies in the Hypo group. The Bank cooperates with its parent bank, related banks and enterprises in transactions involving loans, deposits, issuing of letters of credit and guarantees, as shown in the table above. In accordance with Article 545 of the Companies Act, we hereby declare that to the extent of circumstances known to it, the Bank performs services between related parties under market conditions. In all transactions with the parent bank and other related parties in 2014, the Bank has obtained appropriate payments and has not suffered any loss as a result of related party transactions. b) Conclusion of negotiations on the sale of Hypo network in South Eastern Europe with Advent International and EBRD In December 2014, an American private equity firm Advent International and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) signed an agreement for the purchase of Hypo network in Southeastern Europe. Hypo network consists of 6 banking groups in five countries of South Eastern Europe (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro). The sale of Hypo network, which was owned by the Republic of Austria, is a result of the implementation of the measures taken by the European Commission on 3 September 2013. Under the new owner the business restrictions do not apply to the Bank group any longer, which gives it the potential for additional growth. Completion of the sales process is expected in mid 2015. Until then, it is necessary to obtain approval from all relevant regulatory authorities and the European Union. c) Recapitalization of the Bank Subsequent events a) Change in the exchange rate between CHF and EUR In the past, the Swiss central bank artificially maintained exchange rate between CHF and EUR at 1.20 CHF to EUR 1, as it was in the interests of the Swiss economy and its exporters. The Supervisory Board of the Bank in 2015 approved two proposals for the recapitalization of the Bank, the first one on 20 February 2015 in the amount of EUR 30 million and the second one on 27 April 2015 in the amount of 17 million EUR. The Bank now complies with all regulatory capital requirements set by the regulator. d) Confirmation of the Annual Report The Supervisory Board approved the Annual report in May 2015. On 15 January 2015, the Swiss central bank suddenly and without notice withdrew the support to franc and let the exchange rate be influenced by market conditions in the financial market. As a result, the exchange rate fluctuated significantly which has had a significant impact on loans linked to the CHF currency. As a result, the principals of loans in euro equivalent have increased, with the consequent impact on late payments and higher impairments in 2015. 111 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Financial Risk Management Risk awareness and proactive focus on risk management are the two key elements, which are reflected in the operating activities of the Hypo Group. Risk management procedure in Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank d.d. is composed of three components: The controlling component, which consists of identification, measurement (analyzing, valuation) and monitoring of risks in terms of portfolio and risk reporting; The risk limiting component; The risk managing component, which consists of risk acceptance, risk avoidance and mitigation, transfer and risk diversification. The Bank set up a single organizational structure in HAA where risk management responsibilities for individual sections are segregated and they all answer directly to the CRO (member of the Management Board responsible for risk management). In 2014 the Retail Risk Management dept. continued to adjust credit policies to current trends in the retail sector and small and medium-sized enterprises. Individual products are monitored regularly through portfolio analyzes, which is the basis for adjusting the credit policy in the direction of the target bank portfolio. On the basis of changes in the portfolio of individuals and micro and medium-sized enterprises different strategies of recovery to minimize exposure to non-payers are being developed. Organizational structure of the risk management segment: Credit Risk Management Credit Rehabilitation Risk Controling Retail Risk Management Credit Processing All the above are continually involved in active monitoring and assessment of the risk management process in order to: Identify individual risk exposure, 112 Define methods used to measure risks that are materially significant, Define risk management policies pertaining to individual risks, Propose individual risk exposure limits and Perform other tasks to mitigate the risks the Bank is exposed to. The Bank's Management Board defines the Bank's strategy and goals and is responsible for assumed risks (within the Group’s strategy and goals). The strategy is explained in more details at the ALCO (Asset and Liabilities Committee) meetings. Business divisions are responsible for implementing business goals and for risk management related to these goals. Risk is managed actively on all levels and within the valid risk limits (defined by divisions/functions that are independent in respect of operating sectors) by performing activities for assuming risk, avoiding risk and mitigating, transferring and diversifying risk. In 2014, the Bank continued the appropriate internal capital adequacy assessment process as defined by the second pillar of the new equity directive (Basel II). The Bank monitored some specific key indicators of economic development (GDP, consumer spending index, industrial orders and similar) through its RECO Committee that deals with all important risks comprehensively and in one place and identified potential exposures to the most problematic debtors, industrial segments, collateral and ratings, etc. Within the scope of credit risk management the Bank independently assesses credit risk and performs the function of observation, i.e. monitoring of the corporate and public institutions portfolio. Credit Risk Management has the function of voting and approving credit proposals in accordance with the document Local principles of financing. The department is responsible for approvals, recommendations and transmission of credit proposals to relevant decision-making bodies; It makes financial, industry and other analyzes; using the expertise it advises on the structure of credit proposals. In the process of loan approvals in 2014 the Bank complied with the guidelines of the European Commission and the credit policy. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report In 2014 the Bank continued to pursue its objectives of efficient management and control of risk weighted assets and its optimization, to ensure quality capital management. The Capital Steering Group was set up in 2012 for this particular purpose. Capital Steering Group meets monthly or as necessary, and is monitoring the amount and structure of capital and capital requirements, and implementing processes that ensure capital adequacy as prescribed by the Bank of Slovenia and internally set limits. The Bank is aware of the effect the global decline of economic activity has on collaterals, above all on values of real estate property and securities; this is why it regularly runs the so called “stress scenarios” in respect of decrease of the credit collateral and studies the results of these simulations. Once the value of the collateral falls below the internally defined minimum ratio, the Bank calls upon its clients to either provide additional collateral or repay the loan. Management of collateral is the key to managing the Bank's capital and required impairments of the Bank's credit portfolio. One of the fundamental tasks of the new department is to monitor and ensure appropriate collateral. The Bank manages its capital adequacy from a regulatory perspective as well as from the internal planning perspective (ICAAP – International Capital Adequacy Assessment Procedure) on a monthly basis. Monthly credit portfolio monitoring allows appropriate measures to be taken in the event when the set limit exposures are exceeded. To ensure appropriate level of capital adequacy, the Bank has set the RWA (Risk Weighted Assets) limits for controlling the capital adequacy ratio. Within the framework of its risk management activities the Bank pursues legislative changes and guidelines, while in the context of the implementation of the new capital directive CRD IV/CRR and Basel III it successfully completed the project and introduced all the necessary activities in the reporting process and in the future operations of the Bank in accordance with the strategy. In respect of the liabilities related to obtaining additional financing sources, the Bank acts pursuant to instructions of the parent bank in Austria. The agreed credit lines are compliant with the plans for continuing growth of the credit portfolio. On the other hand, the Bank plans to acquire new assets for financing of investments through received deposits from legal entities as well as individuals, as set in the planned goals. This will provide the resources for financing the assets. The Bank has assessed that despite the positive economic indicators and GDP index in 2014 we cannot expect significant improvement in Slovenia in 2015 in the economic environment, mainly due to the still high indebtedness of individual companies and lengthy court and bankruptcy proceedings, as well as danger of the downturn of the initial economic recovery due to deflation pressure in the EU and export restrictions to EU Member States in trading with Russia. All this and active monitoring and risk management (above all credit and liquidity risk) in respect of the clients and collateral continues to be the Bank’s primary task for the future. 113 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Credit risk Credit risk is a risk of financial loss resulting from the debtor’s inability to fulfil his financial or contractual obligation towards the Bank, in part or in full, for any reason. Credit risk management is a key component of the Bank’s diligent and safe operations. Diligent credit risk management comprises prudent management of the relationship between risk and return and supervision and reduction of credit risk through different perspectives, such as quality, concentration, currency, maturity, collateral and type of loans. Throughout the duration of the credit relationship with the client, the Bank monitors client’s operations and quality of the financial asset’s collateral or the assumed liability. The starting point for monitoring and classification of clients is a systematic review of the Bank’s portfolio. The Bank classifies the financial assets measured at amortized costs or assumed liabilities in the off-balance sheet items on the basis of the internal methodology. In 2010 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU and the decisions of the Bank of Slovenia, the Bank deemed all the exposures to a single debtor which exceed EUR 150,000 as individually significant financial assets, i.e. assumed liability according to the offbalance sheet items and had regularly and individually assessed them. Other key indicators of the potential impairment of the financial asset, which are used by the Bank as criteria for individual assessment of the debtor, are: The client is in delay with repayment of its obligations in the materially important amount for at least 90 days; Bankruptcy or compulsory settlement of the client; Proof of client’s serious financial problems, including reprogramming due to the client’s economic, legal or other problems, irregular settlement of liabilities within the group of related entities and significant economic problems in the client’s industry. 114 For clients that represent individually insignificant exposure for the Bank or for clients for which the Bank estimates, upon individual assessment, that individual impairment of the financial asset is not required, a collective calculation of the portfolio impairment of the financial asset is made in accordance with IFRS’ requirements. The Bank recognizes the percentage of the group impairment as loss in the profit or loss. The Bank has established procedures for monitoring the credit quality of debtors, which enable timely detection of debtors in financial difficulty. In the case of financial difficulties of the debtor, the Bank addresses them in the process of restructuring in order to limit the Bank’s losses – this is done for debtors who have no perspective or possibilities for successful restructuring, survival and at least partial repayment of debts by viable debtors. In the process of restructuring the Bank uses the following measures: Postponement or deferral of repayment of receivables; Decrease of the interest rate and other costs; Waiver (write off) of receivables; Conversion of receivables into equity; Acquisition of other assets for a partial or full repayment of receivables. In the process of restructuring the Bank regularly monitors the debtor’s compliance with the obligations under the new conditions and adopts further measures to achieve successful restructuring of the debtor. The Bank has adopted additional measures designed to ensure the appropriate supervision over credit risks. New tools were implemented to the investment decision procedure in this respect; these tools are used for credit rating of clients.

Exposure in loans to customers other than banks, amounts to € 1,266,311 and € 1,418,775 for the Group. The largest share in the segment of retail loans belongs to housing loans (Bank 71.1%, Group 63.8%). For corporate loans the largest share belongs to large enterprises (Bank 39.5%, Group 35.8%). The majority of receivables under this title relates to enterprises located in the Republic of Slovenia and accounts for 93.3% of the total exposure. The Bank continuously monitors the movement of its credit portfolio and assesses the possibilities of excessive concentration in individual industries by using SWOT analysis of individual industries. These analyses are the basis for adoption of business decisions affecting the Bank’s and Group’s investment policies in respect of reduction of excessive exposure to industries with identified increased credit risk. Thorough analyses are prepared on a quarterly basis as a means of regular reporting and discussion at the risk management committee. e) Overview of the credit risk for the item »Loans to banks« and »Loans to clients« including offbalance sheet credit exposures EUR 000’ Bank Exposure 2014 2013 Loans to Banks Loans to clients Loans to Banks Loans to clients 4,096 542,018 2,579 522,125 Exposure that is past due but is not individually impaired -

It derives from time inconsistency between received assets and liabilities. The importance of effective controlling and managing of the liquidity risk has increased at the time of financial crisis. For the purpose of monitoring the future liquidity needs, Hypo Group Alpe Adria uses an internally developed Liquidity Ratio Tool (LRT) to monitor: short-term liquidity (just for the Bank), structured liquidity (separately for the Bank and Leasing). The Bank manages short-term liquidity risk on the basis of weekly cash flows planning for various intervals. The LRT provides the basis for analysis of short-term and long-term liquidity structure as it classifies cash flows to individual time pockets at actual contractual plans, which allows for more realistic presentation of the deterministic cash flows, in addition to stochastic cash flows, which result from modification of certain assets and liabilities that have no maturity and are not liquid. By using the LRT tool, planned cash flows and the Bank’s liquidity potential that includes assets designated for liquidity requirements, are classified to time pockets in accordance with the adopted model. For monitoring shortterm liquidity (Bank), a liquidity ratio is calculated based on scenarios prepared in advance for general and specific liquidity crisis. The Bank’s liquidity is managed by the Asset Liability Management dept. where all known liquidity flows are recorded. Liquidity calculations and reporting are the responsibility of the Market and Liquidity Risk Control department. Realization of the liquidity management is reviewed at weekly Liquidity meetings and monthly ALCO meetings, where the following information is presented: The amount and compliance with the obligatory reserve, Achieved liquidity ratios, Status of refinancing by the parent bank and Access to the primary liquidity of the Central Bank. 134 Indicators of liquidity do not need to be reported to the banking regulator on the consolidated level. LRT tool is also not suitable for a consolidated view. Bank and Leasing contain different based data structures. Leasing does not have planning data, there are also various assumptions in the modeling of stochastic data. The annual report therefore shows the so-called contractual run-off analysis of cash flows. The table shows the consolidated cash flows (Bank and Leasing together) and a separate table shows cash flows of the Bank. Run-off analysis represents the cash outflows and inflows for the future, according to 31 December 2014.

The Bank calculates the liquidity ratios on a daily basis in accordance with the Decision of the Bank of Slovenia on minimum requirements for ensuring an adequate liquidity position of banks and savings banks. These ratios are calculated as the ratio between investments and liabilities under the residual value principle. First class liquidity ratio (maturity up to 30 days) must not fall below 1. In accordance with the Basel III standards, the Bank is obliged to calculate the monthly LCR (liquidity coverage ratio) and three-month state of NSFR (Net Stable Funding Ratio). As at 31 December 2014 they are as follows: LCR: NSFR: 128.52 % 95.67 % The joint liquidity ratios as per 31 December 2014 are as follows: First class investments/assets (0–30 days) 1,23 Second class investments/assets (0–180 days) 0,66 135 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Market risk Market risk represents a potential loss that occurs due to changed market conditions in respect of the Bank’s exposure to individual market parameters or risk factors (currency exchange rates, interest rates, share prices, credit spread). Managing market risks in the Bank is a procedure that comprises identification, measuring, monitoring and mitigation of individual market risks designed to minimize the potential negative financial consequences. The set of rules, methodologies and responsibilities in respect of market risk management is written in the Framework Risk Policy and the Framework Manual for Market Risk Management. The competences of the Bank and Leasing differ here. Reporting of market risks hereinunder is relating to the Bank and its operations and to Leasing only where this is expressly stated. In the case of Leasing we only monitor foreign exchange and interest rate risks, which are not calculated using models. Monitoring and reporting standards for Leasing are not as precise and binding as for the Bank. The Bank is exposed to different market risks through its daily operations, amongst other to position risk, currency risk, interest risk and credit spread risk. The risk is managed through daily reporting on risk levels, monitoring, calculating and utilization of limits and the achieved operational results. The system of limits only applies to the Bank. Market risk limits are determined pursuant to the annual plan and the appetite for assuming market risks by the owner; the competent departments of the parent bank determine these limits at least once a year. The procedure of confirmation of limits is formally concluded with acceptance of the suggested limits by the parent bank’s management and the Management Board of the Bank. a) Trading book The Bank’s trading book serves primarily for ensuring services to clients. The Bank offers its clients a possibility of concluding derivative transactions, which, in line with confirmed limits for market risk, it closes immediately and thus minimizes market risks. By doing this, the Bank exposes 136 itself to counter party credit risk, which is mitigated with the amount of limit for credit exposure to each individual client, while it is measured and reported in accordance with the standardized approach. The Bank enters into foreign currency purchase/sale transactions in order to serve its clients and to balance its overall foreign currency position. Equity securities are reported in the non-trading book and were purchased mainly as a result of realizing collateral on non-performing investments. A minor trading book net position is presented by the Hypo fund, which the Bank maintains for the purpose of selling it to clients. For measuring position risk in the trading book, the Bank uses the value at risk (VaR) method. This method gives information with a specific level of probability (which is defined with a confidence interval) that maximum expected loss within a defined time horizon (a period of holding a position) shall not exceed the calculated amount. As a system support for calculation of value at risk, the Bank uses the PMS system (Portfolio Risk Management System), for the development and improvement of which is responsible the department of Information technology and Market Risk Controlling of the parent bank. In order to determine the risk parameters, the Bank uses its own, exponentially weighted history of 250 days. The used methodology for calculation of value at risk is the Monte Carlo method with 10,000 simulations and a 99-percent confidence interval (1-day position holding). ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Movement of VaR value in 2014 (Trading and Banking book) Equity securities Derivatives EUR 000’ Maximum Minimum Average 503 5 209 3,635 316 666 Movement of VaR value in 2013 (Trading and Banking book) EUR 000’ Maximum Minimum Average Equity securities 1,019 227 595 Derivatives 1,570 520 888 In 2014 the VaR of equity securities is lower due to the sale of major positions in shares of Mercator, Petrol and Luka Koper. The result of monthly measuring of the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk is the net present value of differences between assets and liabilities, which are subject to market interest rate changes in the given time period. With respect to the Basel II guidelines, the Bank regularly checks the influence of interest rate shock in the amount of 200 basis points and internally tightens a 20-percent absorption effect of net equity of the Bank at the prescribed interest rate shock. Besides the described interest rate shock with the parallel shift of the yield curve, the Bank also measures the effect of other interest rate shocks on a monthly basis. The interest rate shock in the amount of 200 basis points would absorb approximately 1.30 percent of the Bank’s equity at the end of 2014 (2013: 1.88 percent). Effect of yield curve shift can be displayed on a consolidated basis (we add up the consolidated interest rate positions at different periods for the Bank and Leasing) and separately only for the Bank. The effects are shown in the tables below and apply for the stated scenarios of yield curve shift. Besides the value at risk limits (VaR-limits), the entire system of position risks is supplemented by exposure limits, limits of the maximum permitted loss and other limits, among which are, for example, the minimum rating of the securities issuer, allowed forms of products and allowed markets for trading, and which ensure that the positions are in line with the outlined business strategy. b) Interest rate risk in the Banking book The interest rate risk is the risk of loss incurred on interest-sensitive assets with different maturities and different interest fluctuation dynamics, as suitable resources of financing these assets. Management of the interest rate risk from the items in the trading book is included in the trading book’s risk position management, whereas for the purpose of management of interest rate risk, which results from the items of the non-trading book and off-balance sheet items, the Bank uses methodology of interest rate gaps with respect to the date of the next change of interest rates. 137 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report The effects of the yield curve shift by different scenarios (only interest bearing positions) on 31 December 2013; Bank view Scenario ICAAP scenario => -50% negative case (927) ICAAP Scenario => 90% stress case (1,530) + 10 bps parallel shift (170) - 10 bps parallel shift 170 rotation (ON-3M -> +60 BP, 3M-5Y -> -20 BP, 5Y -> -50 BP) (563) rotation (ON-3M -> +60 BP, 3M-5Y -> +20 BP, 5Y -> +50 BP) 86 The effects of the yield curve shift by different scenarios (only interest bearing positions) on 31 December 2014; Group view Scenario 138 EUR 000’ Effect of yield curve shift EUR 000’ Effect of yield curve shift ICAAP scenario => -50% negative case 272 ICAAP Scenario => 90% stress case 810 + 10 bps parallel shift 30 - 10 bps parallel shift (30) rotation (ON-3M -> +60 BP, 3M-5Y -> -20 BP, 5Y -> -50 BP) (992) rotation (ON-3M -> +60 BP, 3M-5Y -> +20 BP, 5Y -> +50 BP) 125 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Interest Rate Risk by individual time buckets and currencies (the interest bearing positions only) on 31.12.2013 for the Bank and 31.12.2014 for the Group 2013 Bank Time bucket EUR 000’ 2014 Group Gap EUR Gap CHF Gap other currencies Total Gap EUR Gap CHF Gap other currencies Total ON 4,479 (114) - 4,365 190 1 - 190 1M (152,586) 1,330 4,495 (146,762) (135,408) 1,615 3,554 (130,239) 3M 220,237 (136,164) (613) 83,461 330,153 (116,764) (419) 212,970 6M 249,361 141,117 (417) 390,061 127,633 163,860 (443) 291,050 1Y (60,634) (1,301) (438) (62,373) 8167,358) (1,951) (507) (169,816) 2Y (159,410) (2,294) (1,413) (163,117) (31,953) (995) (1,093) (34,041) 3Y (1,771) (953) (413) (3,138) 24,092 229 (275) 24,047 4Y 30,417 (953) (413) 29,050 (70,146) (305) (255) (70,707) 5Y (15,945) (953) (413) (17,312) (22,546) (305) (255) (23,106) 7Y 17,050 (89) (173) 16,788 24,934 (74) (152) 24,708 10Y 13,873 - - 13,873 3,194 - - 3,194 15Y 12,262 - - 12,262 12,027 - - 12,027 20Y (1,022) - - (1,022) (1,022) - - (1,022) - - - - - - - - >20Y The structure of assets and liabilities in terms of the type of interest rate on 31.12.2013 for the Bank and 31.12.2014 for the Group TYPE OF INTEREST RATE Fixed interest rate UFN* Variable interest rate Non-interest bearing items 2013 Bank 2014 Group Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities 15.80% 50.59% 14.13% 46.21% 2.24% 12.56% 8.83% 16.55% 80.21% 24.92% 75.67% 27.18% 1.75% 11.93% 1.37% 10.06% *Items with undefined interest fixing 139 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report c) Currency risk Currency risk is a risk of a loss arising from mismatch of the currency sub-balance and inconsistencies of foreign currencies. The Bank monitors on a daily basis exposure to foreign currency risks and limits them by setting volume limits by individual currencies, groups of currencies and total open position. The measurement method is based on the principle of net open position, which is reported in domestic currency. The group of volume limits is rounded up by the VaR limit on total open position. The VaR methodology is the same as the methodology in the trading book (250-day history – ECB fixed rate, weighted daily changes of exchange rate, 99-percent confidence interval and 1-day exponentially weighted history holding period). Narrow volume limits by individual currencies, groups of currencies and total open position indicate a conservative approach to managing currency risks. According to the regulatory capital requirement for currency risk, the Bank does not have to calculate a capital requirement for currency risk, as its total net position in foreign currencies does not exceed 2 percent of its capital.

Borrowings from banks Financial assets held to maturity: the fair value is based on the quoted market price. Loans (to banks and clients): for short-term assets, the fair value is not calculated as it is assumed that the carrying amount represents a reasonable approximation of the fair value; carrying amount of assets at variable interest also represents reasonable approximation of the fair value if the repricing dates are no longer than 12 months; for long-term assets at fixed interest, the fair value is calculated (zero coupon yield and discount factors from the PMS application are used for discounting the future cash flows). 142 Liabilities at amortized cost: the assessed fair value is based on discounted contractual values, using the market interest rates that should be currently paid by the Bank for replacement of these liabilities by new debts with similar residual maturity. For short-term receivables and liabilities it is expected (according to the standard) that the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of the fair value. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report b)Financial instruments measured at fair value The fair value assessments of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are based on the assessments made by an external expert. The Bank verifies the assessment values and if confirmed, the assessed values are taken into account. Values of investments presented in Level 3 are obtained using the standard valuation techniques such as discounted expected future cash flows, market method (comparative entities listed on the stock exchange – direct comparison to entities quoted in an organized market) and liquidation value approach. The final estimated value of financial instruments considers all approaches, taking into consideration assessments of importance in respect of company activity, financial stability of an entity, as well as other factors that could impact the fair value of financial instruments.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions of the Bank. The two types of inputs have resulted in the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This level includes listed equity securities and debt instruments on stock exchanges (e.g. London Stock Exchange, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange) and traded derivatives such as futures. Level 3 – Inputs for the assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level includes equity investments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when they are available. The Bank considers significant and observable market prices in its valuations whenever possible. For measurement of non-marketable securities the Bank uses methods prescribed in accordance with IVS (International Valuation Standards) 2012. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices of Level 1; these observable inputs relate to assets and liabilities either directly (as prices) or indirectly (as derived from prices). Level 2 includes the majority of OTC derivative contracts, traded loans and issued structured bonds. The sources of input parameters such as yield curves or the relevant increases for credit risk are Bloomberg and Reuters. 143 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Hierarchy of financial assets measured at fair value as at 31.12.2014 (Bank): EUR 000’ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial Assets Held for Trading - 4,272 - 4,272 Available-for-sale financial assets - 44,463 334 44,797 Financial assets at fair value Changes in the portfolio value classified as Level 3 in 2014 are presented in the table below: EUR 000’ Balance at 31. 12. 2013 Purchases Disposal Revaluation effect Balance at 31. 12. 2014 (759) 334 Assets Available-for-sale financial assets 1,093 - - Hierarchy of financial instruments not measured at fair value as at 31.12.2014 (Bank) EUR 000’ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 1.

This is an ongoing process of determining and maintaining a sufficient volume and quality of capital, taking into consideration the assumed risks, which is defined in the Bank’s capital management policy. To this effect, in 2012 the Bank set up a Capital monitoring committee whose task is monitoring and management of capital adequacy on a monthly basis, while pursuing the 5-year strategic business plan of the Bank. Regulatory capital adequacy is the ratio between own funds and risk-weighted assets that should not fall below 8 percent. The table below shows the calculation of regulatory capital and the capital adequacy ratio.

In 2014, the Bank fully complied with the legal requirements regarding capital. As at the end of year 2014, the Bank’s capital amounted to EUR 120,117 thousand, Tier 1 or core capital amounted to EUR 86,140 thousand, while the capital adequacy ratio stood at 12.97 percent. Tier I capital ratio stood at 9.31 percent in 2014 and at 10.39 percent in 2013. On consolidated basis the Bank fully complied with the legal requirements regarding capital in 2014. As at the end of 2014, the Bank’s capital amounted to EUR 117,241 thousand, Tier 1 or core capital amounted to EUR 83,363 thousand, while the capital adequacy ratio stood at 11.31 percent. Tier I capital ratio stood at 8.04 percent. In 2014, the Bank calculated capital requirements in accordance with Regulation (EU) NO 575/2013 and in accordance with Directive 2013/36/EU. The amount of individual capital requirement is evident from the calculation of regulatory capital and capital adequacy ratio. In accordance with the process of assessing adequate internal capital of the Bank and the Bank’s internal policies, the Bank regularly monitors the capital risk profile, assesses the Bank’s ability to assume risk and provides capital adequacy assessments as well as internal capital requirements for all types of risks. The results are reported at monthly meetings of the ALCO. The Bank of Slovenia expected higher capital ratios, therefore the owner in order to ensure sufficient capital, paid part of the required recapitalization funds in the amount of EUR 30,000 thousand in February 2015. In April 2015, the Supervisory Board approved capital increase in the amount of EUR 17,000 thousand, as stated in the heading “Events after the Balance Sheet Date”. 146 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d. financial report Operational risk The Bank includes in the definition of operational risk also legislative risk and model risk, as well as the reputation risk. Business and strategic risks are not included in the operational risk as they are addressed separately. To calculate the capital requirement for operational risk, the Bank applies simple approach. of the Bank and the Committee for operational risk management, internal control system, and reputation risk (OpRisk Committee). In the case of significant losses and exposure the Board and senior management of the Bank are informed immediately. As the Bank is aware of the importance of operational risk management, it decided that in addition to satisfying legally prescribed general standards for risk management, it will perform activities that are carried out in more advanced approaches in accordance with the decision on risk management. Assessment and measurement of operational risk is based on the collection of loss events that are registered in the central database. This allows for a more efficient reporting of loss events, their causes and proposed measures. All loss events which present an actual direct or indirect financial loss for the Bank, are registered, regardless of whether financial losses occurred during the event or subsequently. Registered are also events which could present potential loss for the Bank. This year the Bank recorded 46 loss events. The Bank defined as a loss event any event whose gross loss exceeds EUR 5,000. At the end of the year, the balance of gross losses that are not connected with impairments or provisions resulting from credit risk, from loss events amounted to EUR 7,715 million. Preventive assessment of potential operational risk is carried out with the procedure of detection of selected risk scenarios on an annual basis, when in cooperation with area managers the business impact is reassessed. The Bank measures and monitors individual risk indicators on the basis of which, in the event of unacceptable deviations, it plans control activities. Based on perceived and assessed operational risk and damage that occurred, for significant risk, the Bank plans and carries out activities to prevent, mitigate, transfer or assume the risk. Realized loss events and the status of implementation of control measures are regularly reported to the Management 147 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Hypo Alpe Adria and Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank, d. d.
