Brand values
Caring: a passion for people
We are people who care about people. This
is why the first thing on our minds every day is
your well-being. And to make sure we are getting it
right, we listen to you first to understand what you
need. This open dialogue is second nature to us.
Why? Simply because we really do care. An integral
part of our job is acting on our passion for people.
At the end of the day, it’s about helping you and
making you feel special.
Our passion makes the difference.
Connected: a global
community
We are as diverse and widespread as you are. In fact,
our strength lies in our diversity – the essence of our
global community. Have you ever wondered why
you can reach us and rely on us anytime, anywhere?
It’s simple. Because we are everywhere at all times.
Our vast human and technological connections
and resources make this possible. We use our global
resources to lend a helping hand, wherever you
may be.
Our global reach with our local human touch.
Proactive: going beyond
expectations
We’re never satisfied to just wait for your call. Each
of you and your customers is different. For us, part
of helping you is anticipating what you need before
you call; and offering solutions that exceed your
expectations after you call. Solutions that surprise,
innovate, and reassure above and beyond the call of
duty. When we put our proactivity to work, what we’re
really doing is working to improve the way we serve
you, continuously.
Creating solutions that innovate and surprise,
day in, day out.
Professional: expertise
at your service
We do not keep our wealth of skills and expertise
for ourselves but make them available to you, when,
where and how you need them. Whether you or your
customers need the full story, or just the answer, our
years of professionalism are the foundation of all our
business relationships. We have built a reputation of
excellence, and are proud that you are a part of it.
Our guarantee of excellence at your service.
Trust: to earn it everyday
Trust has to be earned. We know that. Whether
it’s towards a relative, a friend or a customer, we can
win your trust only one way – by showing you that we
are dedicated, honest and reliable every single day.
Our goal is to make sure that each one of your lives
is safer, simpler and more secure. To do this, earning
your trust comes first. Trust truly is at the heart of
what we do.
The heart of who we are.

Group history
A history of
helping people
In 1950 in Switzerland, when people began traveling more,
a team of forward thinking business pioneers created ELVIA
Travel Insurance. This year marked the beginning of our
story in helping people. Twenty-four years later in 1974,
SACNAS-Mondial Assistance was founded in France; and our
helping reached a new level. The creation of SACNAS-Mondial
Assistance paralleled the development of the assistance business, which, in addition to travel insurance, included roadside,
medical and repatriation assistance. In 1979, AGF became a
shareholder of Mondial Assistance.
During the 80’s and 90’s, still as two separate entities, (Elvia and
Mondial Assistance), we accompanied our corporate clients
through their own changes. As they grew geographically, so did
we, developing first in Europe and then gradually throughout the
rest of the world. In 1995, Elvia joined German’s Allianz Group.
In 2000 Elvia Travel Insurance and SACNAS-Mondial Assistance
successfully merged and created our group as we know it today.
With nearly 80 years of combined experience and know-how, we
became the leading world player in assistance, travel insurance
and customer services.
We acquired World Access in the United States in April 2000 and
Worldcare in Australia a year later.
In 2006, we launched a new Brand identity and values worldwide. This was a long-term strategic step for us. It showed our
dedication to you and your well-being, and reflected our rich,
multi-cultural diversity.
In 2007 we hit a landmark year. On January 1st, our four French
companies – Mondial Assistance, France Secours, Elvia and
SSC – merged to form Mondial Assistance, a unique entity and
brand. In doing so, we confirmed and solidified our position in
France. And true to our goal to grow internationally, we opened offices in Mexico and India. We also acquired Medvantis,
a medical call-centre in Switzerland. We registered our Russian
office in 2007 and began operations there on March 1st, 2008.
Today, we operate under a unique brand name and speak to you
with a single voice. We are present on all 5 continents and feel
right at home in the 28 different countries where we are present. Wherever you go, we are always close by, looking out for you.
We are here to make sure you have our help, anytime, anywhere.
You – our customers, stakeholders and staff members – were,
are and always will be what our business is all about.

Editorial
Breaking from the string of bad news, we are proud to present
our 2008 results. They aptly reflect the energy and commitment that
the 9,817 talented people who make up our Group demonstrated this past year.
Together, they embody our business mission and passion - helping people,
anywhere, anytime. Our turnover was 1.597 billion euros, up 6%, and our net return
was 62.6 million euros, +9.6% over 2007 ! These results clearly reinforce
our leading world position in assistance and travel insurance.
2008: Growth in a troubled environment
Despite the current economic environment, the tourism market continued to grow slightly, but then slowed due to the volatile
world economy. The automotive industry took a real beating from the compounded effects of the crisis. The financial sector,
also seriously shaken, lost some important players, while a new financial landscape, though still in flux, begins to emerge.
In this complex, unstable context, competition remains fierce on the markets and continents where we are present.
Nevertheless we actively pursued growth in all regions where we currently operate, often despite unfavorable exchange rates.
Our efforts paid off because 2008 proved to be another strong growth year, + 6% with an operating profit of 106.1 millions
euros. Our excellent profitability, with a combined ratio of 94.9%, is the result of our strict, long-term cost control policy.
Innovation and sharing best practices – at the heart of our success
Our four business lines all contributed to sales growth. Tourism activities account for 48% of Group turnover, nearly 50% of
which is generated by e-tourism. The automotive business still represents 39% of overall sales, and today, health & lifecare
services constitute the Group’s third mainstay for development.
Geographic expansion leads to more balanced international sales
We registered our strongest geographic expansion in the Americas (Canada and Brazil) and the Asia Pacific (Japan and
Australia). Both regions, which represent 19% and 9.5% respectively, contribute more and more to Group turnover. In Europe,
71.5% of Group sales, Italy, Belgium, Spain and France registered the strongest growth. Five countries from three continents
(France, USA, Italy, Australia and UK) together represent 57% of Group turnover. This weight illustrates our objective to achieve
more balanced, international sales.
A new subsidiary joins the Mondial Assistance family
We continued to expand in Eastern Europe in 2008 and opened a subsidiary in Moscow, confirming our investment strategy in
BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). This geographic expansion strengthens our relations with global customers and
demonstrates our firm commitment to partners who wish to offer innovative, top quality services in every corner of the world.
2009: What lies ahead
Given the international context, we expect 2009 to be a difficult year. However, when signs of the crisis first appeared, we quickly adjusted our strategy to limit costs and help absorb the impact. Today, our policy to balance risks, geographically and in terms of products
and distribution channels, is undeniably one of the Group’s solidifying factors as it allows us to absorb some of the negative effects of
the crisis. While we remain focused on our immediate future, we are also preparing our long-term growth comeback. By launching strategic initiatives outlined in our ambitious “2015 plan”, we will be able to double our turnover. In 2009 we will further develop synergies

Travel
Our historic travel business just keeps booming.
We have been helping people and offering travel insurance
solutions since the 1950s. Our historic line of business is still
growing today and accounts for almost half of our Group turnover.
The international tourism industry has grown significantly since
2005. In fact this trend continued through 2008 when the industry
registered +2% growth.
e-commerce redesigns
the travel business
Our cover is always
personalised
e-commerce has been massively contributing to this development. Many new
players have revolutionized the travel
industry in the past few years. Low
cost carriers have challenged the airline
industry. Online travel agencies have
re-invented the way to buy travel. We
expect some consolidation in this fragmented market; in fact travel industry
players think this will be their main challenge over the next few years. So, when
we think of this market change, we see
the opportunity to keep growing, and
we’ll rely on our solid position to achieve
continued growth.
For the second consecutive year in
the United States, online sales in 2008
exceeded offline sales. Today, all players
considered, e-commerce represents 35%
of the world’s travel market. Compared
to this benchmark, we
performed extremely
well, and reported online sales representing

Helping and working closely with you,
our client partners, whether you are
travel agents, brokers, tour operators
or online travel specialists, is what we
do best. Our aim is to design innovative, customised, surprising solutions
for you.
Some but not all of these tailored
solutions include insurance and protection against lost or stolen luggage,
repatriation due to illness, medical
and hospital expense coverage when
abroad, reimbursed fares when you or
your customers must cancel a trip due
to unforeseen events, and vehicle repair
in case of a breakdown.
We offer solutions that you can rely on
24/7. Our goal is to make sure you have
our help whoever you are, wherever
you’re from and wherever you’re going.
So, rest assured that you can travel

Medical excellence – the mark
of our commitment
In 2008, as in previous years, we carried
out more than 670,000 medical assistance and repatriation interventions for
you and your customers. How did we
do this? Thanks to our multi-lingual, travel and medical assistance specialists
who work around the clock, around the
world. You rely on us, but who do we
rely on? On top-quality, certified service
providers in every corner of the globe,
and 180 international correspondents.
Our medical team helps you in more
ways than one. Comprised of doctors with long-standing international
experience, they continually evaluate
hospitals and clinics in countries with
heavy, widespread tourism, and where
the level of medical coverage is weak or
inconsistent. Their aim: to optimize your
healthcare and whatever treatment you
may need with a database built from
first-hand visits. This database provides our 500 doctors and medical staff
with critical information (quality of care,
hygiene, equipment, pathologies treated,
etc.) about the establishments where
patients are likely to be hospitalised
while abroad. Each database-listed
structure receives an annual evaluation
visit. In 2008, the database cited 1,287
hospitals in 458 cities in 122 countries.
Our medical evaluation team regularly
adds new structures to the database.
It also evaluates airport medical structures
to assist airline companies in case of an
aircraft diversion. This program, named
«In-flight Medical Support», kicked off in
2008. We now have 192 evaluated airports in our worldwide database.
There are only a few of us on the international travel market who own such a
database and offer these services. So,
deprive yourself no longer and simply hop
onboard!
Innovation on the online business:
Travel Insurance 2.0
In 2008, we launched Travel Insurance 2.0. This is a real-time, web-services software
developed in-house. It lets us profile your final customers and then offer them specific,
tailor-made products that fit their needs. In doing so, we’re meeting your expectations
better. And in doing that, you can better serve your customers. Another advantage:
conversion rates (ratio number of policies sold/trip sold) increase and revenues are
maximised. We have successfully implemented this new tool in the USA with major
partners. We are planning to deploy it in Europe in 2009.
A solid
international
team to
serve you
We should now tell you that
we’ve set up an international
travel sales team whose job is
to respond to our international
partners’ demands for online
solutions. And you should know
that this team has an essential
mission: to co-ordinate local
business requirements in line
with our partners’ international
strategies to sell and implement
travel insurance and assistance
in several countries via a unique
platform.

Automotive
We’re always a step ahead of your expectations.
Since 1974, we’ve helped you help your customers with a full
range of roadside assistance solutions. With years of expertise
under our belt, we do our best to anticipate your every need, and
keep perfecting our services so they’re exactly right, every time.
Our help is worldwide. We now offer roadside assistance in more than
50 countries. We are known as an industry leader who “repairs” both
customers and their immobilised vehicles. And we’re proud of this.
A look at the global
environment
2008. What a year! Relative stability, but
growing unease in the first six months
when financial sector concerns mounted
with soaring fuel prices.
Then the fury of the global financial crisis hit the entire auto industry. New car
sales in Europe fell by 7.8% in 2008
and by 19.3% in Q4. US and European
demand dropped, prompting a dramatic slowdown in Asia. Gloomy forecasts
were announced for 2009. While a swift
recovery is unlikely, we must meet the
market challenge.
We will continue to provide competitively-priced, quality services with clear
added value. More than ever, we will
support you with our innovation and
creativity.
Strong, steady
geographical expansion
In 2008, we entered the automotive
market in Russia, and completed our
BRIC strategy by strengthening our local
presence in key markets. We continued

ICCM is a new customer loyalty service
for our auto clients. Here’s the idea:
We’ve identified a number of contact
opportunities car owners have with their
auto brands: purchase, check-up, MOT

With ICCM, we can install a range
of integrated services – new vehicle

management, and proactive claims
management.
This way, we help increase sales for the

For the last ten years we have been one of the major providers of location-based services for
our automotive partners. In 2000 we pioneered with Volvo the first Pan-European Telematics

providers. Our innovations include the remote diagnosis “B” (Breakdown) call for France, and
“pay as you drive” program in Italy.
The Operations Based Automotive Technician (OBAT)
The OBAT is one of our very specialised professions. These experts repair breakdowns
“long distance”. We don’t want to ask you to wait by the roadside during a repair if the repair
can be done more simply. Over the phone, the technician advises the driver what to do;
he coordinates garage repairs and even intervenes on site on behalf of the manufacturer.
All our OBATs have technical experience working for major car manufacturers.

We care about your health. And your life.
A few years ago, we launched Health and Lifecare Assistance,
our 3rd business line. It has grown ever since its creation.
Healthcare Assistance focuses specifically on your health.
It offers more specialised services that provide information, comfort,
support and coordination. Lifecare Assistance focuses on your daily
well-being - meeting your personal needs at home or work.
A dynamic year
for a healthy sector
Our offer in a nutshell. We have
the right care for everyone
Around the world populations are getting older and becoming increasingly
dependent. This global trend will fuel our
future growth in the heath sector. As in
previous years, we continue to focus on
“dependency” and on our world’s ageing
population. If you are an elderly person,
chances are you want to stay in your
home for as long as possible. If you are a
supporting family member, chances are
you are looking for a solution that makes
financial and logistical sense. And you
want your relatives to be safe and comfortable in their home.
We are also tuned in to a younger population with entirely different needs. In fact,
our Impatriate Services also enjoyed
steady growth in 2008. This was especially true in Australia
where we are market
leader, mostly due to
our partnering activities
in turnover
with local universities
and schools.

We have built a strategic partnership in
France with one of the country’s largest
banks to enhance Lifecare services for
its customers and networks.
As a joint venture, we have created a
range of dedicated Lifecare services
for people of all ages to help make
their lives simpler, safer and more

Partnering with telecom company
makes cell phone tele-assistance
a reality
Our global partnership with one of
France’s leading telecom companies
now enables tele-assistance via your
cell phone.
Cell phones are equipped with a “panic

come into immediate contact with one
of our emergency centers. Our center
assesses the situation and organizes
appropriate assistance.
Working with an insurer to enhance
awareness of Alzheimer’s
In collaboration with a leading French
Medical University, we have developed
two Alzheimer programs.
The first helps increase disease
awareness and literacy. Designed for
insurer’s customers between 55 and
65 years old, it helps them adopt and
respect lifestyle attitudes that will
optimize brain ageing.
The second program, for 65-75 year
olds, is in the form of a special kit to
measure the risk of Alzheimer’s. The
customer’s own doctor, who first is
trained by one of our professional
nurses, administers the test. A positive
result does not mean you suffer from
Alzheimer’s. It simply indicates that
you need to follow it up with early
treatment should the disease appear.
Early treatment can give you an extra
18-24 months of normal functioning.
Teaming up with a world
healthcare leader
In 2008 we signed a European
agreement with a 120 year-old world
leader in healthcare, a household
name in most parts of the world.
Our joint program provides assistance
to those of you with severe psoriasis.
After you contact one of our platforms,
our healthcare professional receives
a contact report. With this, he/she can
fully coordinate follow-up actions for
this healthcare company’s innovative
treatment. The program is to help
professionals monitor, educate and
assist you in using the treatment
properly.

Event Cancellation
How many of you have bought tickets for something - and missed it

Asia-Pacific
With modest growth (+7.9%) in 2008, we fell slightly short
of targets. But with strong contributions from Australia and Japan,
our profitability was up (+49.3%) over the same period in 2007.
Signs of commercial slowdown appeared in Q3 when our main auto
and travel partners saw demand fall. The slowdown spanned all
regions, even those that had been enjoying double-digit growth.
Australia: Strengthening
market positions
India: Year one operations
successful
Our Australian business enjoyed +14%
growth, and reinforced its lead position in
core markets – travel insurance, automotive assistance, overseas student health
insurance and international medical assistance. All of these, plus e-travel insurance,
contributed to growth. We improved our
operating profit (+52%) by adopting lower,
cost-base best practices in each respective market. A dedicated team focused
on growth through innovation, notably on
developing customer value.
During our first year in India we focused
on developing roadside assistance for
the auto industry. We signed contracts
with manufacturers, leasing and insurance companies. Today we are the
sector’s market leader. We also launched
CRM and claims notification services
and began to pave the way for travel
insurance in 2009. An added bonus was
recognition for our quality services in a
very challenging market.
China: Reaching out to the auto
and financial industries
We launched several new car manufacturer programs in 2008 and continued to
report strong growth in roadside assistance. Our Chinese BU also focused
on the financial sector. Today, we count
several leading Chinese financial institutions among our partners. Changes in
travel insurance regulations early in the
year adversely affected our bottom and
top line travel insurance results.

Japan: Customers pleased
with improved service delivery
2008 was an excellent year for Millea
Mondial. Despite the difficult economic
context, sales revenues climbed 27%
and we exceeded profit targets. Most
growth came from traditional roadside
assistance services. We also launched
innovative pet insurance, automation
projects and improved processes.
Today we offer more
streamlined, affordain turnover

Singapore & South East Asia:
Increased dynamics in travel
insurance
In Singapore, our regional hub, we continued to develop e-commerce travel
insurance, and successfully launched
it in Malaysia. We also concluded travel
insurance programs for hotel-only booking portals. Online booking agents in
Singapore can now get ticket protection
insurance.
Thailand: profit steady despite
difficult times
2008 was a difficult year for Thailand.
The ongoing political crisis and civil
unrest at airports impacted our turnover. However, we still delivered a healthy
profit. How? By fiercely implementing
robust cost containment policies!
Americas
We had a record year in the Americas zone. Revenue growth was
the highest in the Group and online travel insurance defied
the global recession, meeting revenue and profitability goals.
Our teams from the US and Brazil introduced a range of innovative
products and technologies which produced exceptional results.
And 2008 was a transition year in Canada, while Mexico continued
to build its capabilities.
Brazil : A record year
across the board
Our Brazilian business unit performed
extremely well, buoyed by profitable
growth and diversification. We strengthened online partnerships with travel
agencies and airline carriers and promoted our own travel website. We signed
several new partners in our traditional
business lines, solidifying our lead position. We also successfully launched a
win-win solution integrating roadside
assistance with comprehensive CRM
services.

Canada:
Improved
governance in a
pivotal year
We indeed had a pivotal year in Canada in
year-over-year performance, employee
engagement and innovation. We consolidated our lead position in online travel
insurance by winning new customers and
offering new products. We strengthened
and built key strategic partnerships in
our distribution and service networks.
And our cost containment initiative paid
off, helping to improve our bottom line
result and position us to move comfortably forward. We also greatly strengthened
internal corporate governance.

Mexico:
Expanding
network helps
new clients
Operations grew
steadily in 2008 in
our recently opened Mexican business unit. We now
offer roadside, home, medical, legal and
travel assistance in Mexico to a wide
variety of clients including the automotive, travel and financial industries. We
also strengthened our offer with a 24/7
international platform, supported by a
growing local network of providers.
We are US market leader in online travel
insurance and event ticket insurance.
Despite the economic downturn, our
revenue grew by nearly 20% for the
fourth consecutive year. We continued
to lead the way in credit card enhancements and out-of-country health
services, and also launched many innovations. These include a new, patented
“intelligent” technology that offers personalized products to customers in an
online environment.
In 2008, our customer service center
received the coveted “Global Call Center
of the Year” award. Employees in the US
also led the group with the highest score
for job satisfaction.
USA: Double-digit growth for
fourth consecutive year
Our American business had another
successful and record year. Impressive
growth, customer satisfaction and innovation were keys to success. Our American
business unit is the second largest in the
group, and the largest in travel insurance.

Europe, Middle East
and Africa
The EMEA zone is still our main contributor. It generated
71.6% of global turnover in 2008. Our e-commerce sales continued
to boom in the travel segment. And because we are always looking
for better ways to help you, we continued to innovate. We acquired
and launched new services in domestic healthcare, and introduced
online business models in many countries.
Austria & SEE: New Products
and an eye to expand
Despite the difficult market and economy,
we enjoyed moderate +4% growth in
the traditional travel business in Austria.
The new premium Comprehensive product launched in January 2008 partially
contributed to this. December 2008
marked the end of our first full and satisfactory business year in Hungary where
50% of sales came from our traditional
business lines, and 50% from e-commerce travel insurance. We succeeded
in winning key accounts in the travel
(including air lines) and automotive sectors. Now our Austrian
business unit is ready
to take a further step
into the SEE and
in turnover
enter the Romanian
market. So far, we’ve
+4.1%
22
Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008
established contacts with travel agents
and tour operators. We’ve completed a
home web page, installed an electronic
booking system and developed tailored
travel products.
Belgium: Creativity for growth
Our Belgian business unit showed leadership and product creativity once
again by winning the «Best Assistance
Product» award given by a jury of nonlife insurance experts. Another triumph
– we ran an innovative, award-winning
communication campaign! Our strong
relations with you, our travel agent and
insurance broker partners, were reinforced by several successful network
events. We also concluded new agreements for healthcare services, which
helped increase our profitable turnover
by +14%.
Czech & Slovak Republics:
Our 10th anniversary
Our business unit in Prague celebrated
its 10-year anniversary by successfully
transferring its entire business activity
to our new Mondial Assistance brand.
We continued to actively develop and
improve our vehicle, travel and domestic assistance and insurance offers. The
result: we considerably grew our client
portfolio!
We continued to work closely with
Allianz-Slovenska Poistovna, the leading Slovak insurer, and expanded our
collaboration in vehicle assistance, travel insurance and reinsurance. We also
worked together to penetrate the home
assistance and healthcare markets.
In 2008 our relations with our Slovak
business partners were dominated by
the country’s entry to the Euro zone.
We launched some major IT projects,
designed to help you - customers and
staff – and make your lives easier! These
include a new, locally designed e-com
sales tool, a new management information system, a data warehouse and web
access to assistance files. Our reward
for our positive results? We’ll be moving
to new offices in Prague in 2009!
France: Market leader
for the first time!
Our French business unit enjoyed
+7,8% growth in 2008. And for the
first time in our history, we are now leader on the French assistance market!
So, where did we grow commercially?
In the bank-insurance sector particularly with home assistance services. We
also signed many new contracts with
mutual insurance companies, renewed
agreements with major auto manufacturers, and signed new contracts with
car rental companies. Our e-travel business continued to grow. And so did our
penetration into several new segments:
business travel, hotel bookings, and
events ticketing. Enhanced guarantees
for our tourism clients have met with
great success. We invested significantly
to promote direct online sales of telesurveillance and tele-security products.
And this paid off because 1/3 of our
new customers come from online! Local
communities continued to subscribe to
our tele-assistance services, boosting
growth in this area. We worked relentlessly to successfully optimize purchasing
agreements with rental car companies,
airlines and our network of vehicle repair
providers. These
efforts also paid off.
Our innovation
strategy to develop
of Group
lifecare services
turnover
got an operational
boost when we
71.6%
created a dedicated business line, launched the “servissimes” platform with one
of France’s biggest banks, and implemented two new electronic devices for
healthcare and lifecare providers. We’re
recognized as a pioneer in tele-assistance, and specialized in helping the
elderly population. This expertise led
to us receiving the 2008 «Recognition
for lifecare services» award from the
National Center for Lifecare Services.
But we didn’t stop here. For the first
time in France, we supervised a “dependency” questionnaire for people over 70;
we also developed new services to help
healthcare assistants. Today we are
proud of our wide range of dependency
assistance solutions.
Germany: Travel and
Assistance sales consolidation
In 2008, we successfully strengthened
and streamlined the organization of
our German business units. How? By
consolidating all insurance carriers and
setting up a new structure for all assistance activities. These changes in 2008
helped bring about remarkable success
in both sales and profit. We succeeded
in being the first assistance company to
offer a complete range of annual travel
insurance policies. This product generation was judged “best-in-class” by a
very important German consumer survey. Our earned premiums increased in
2008 by 62% over the previous year. But
2008 was also very challenging because
the German travel insurance market is
highly competitive, made even more
so by aggressive new players. To compensate for the traditional flat tourism
business, our travel entity focused on
developing travel insurance offers for
financial institutions, insurance companies and brokers. We also worked
closely with new customers to develop
for their distribution channels a range of
innovative products for students. In line
with current trends, we continued to shift
our business model from offline to online.
The most important change for us in
2008 was our name transition to the
Mondial Assistance brand.
Our assistance entity continued to
co-develop with Allianz new domestic
healthcare products for the senior market.
And to meet your growing expectations,
we also pursued efforts to improve quality
and productivity standards for our roadside assistance activities.
Greece: New legislation
and popular B2C solutions
Greek roadside assistance legislation
changed a lot in 2008. At our local business unit, we aligned ourselves with the
new laws, which are much more demanding, and also met our financial targets!
We increased turnover by +6,2% over
2007 and achieved a combined ratio of
less than 95%. Where did we focus to
increase sales and profitability? Mostly
on B2B2C and roadside assistance
renewal schemes for importers. We
also launched e-Mondial.gr, and B2C/
white label travel insurance solutions.
These are currently very popular with
online travel agencies, and show promising growth. We’re pleased to say that
we’ve maintained our lead position in
the Greek automotive market and have
been boosted by a rapid growth in travel
insurance.
Italy: Proactivity leads to
growth and profitability
In Italy, we enjoyed +11.6% growth in
2008, generated mostly from the travel industry. We paid close attention
to managing our portfolios proactively;
and closed off the year on a good roll
by signing new contracts with several
Italian tour operators, which we hope
will boost our 2009 sales! We also took
Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008
23
International presence
time to carefully review our B2C website and asked ourselves how we can
help you, our direct customers, better?
The answer is in our new online product
offers like cell phone insurance and
roadside assistance! 2008 was a key
partnering year with Allianz. We worked
closely with their new management team
to build a best-in-class way to manage
operations and ensure transparency
between us. In a similar vein we renewed
our commitment to the values of corporate social responsibility and launched
www.mondiality.it. This won us SA8000
certification! And we have a newcomer
to our Group - Mondial Contact Center
Italia. Here we manage contact center
services for our customers and even
ourselves!
Netherlands: innovation
in a mature market
The vehicle assistance market in the
Netherlands continued to climb in 2008.
On this wave, we strengthened our operational productivity. We continued to
focus efforts on promoting our popular
annual travel insurance products. We
also observed a shift from the travel
industry toward the insurance industry
as a distribution channel. As one of our
goals is to further help our individual
consumers, we successfully launched
a roadside assistance solution just for
them. And of course, as in other countries, we transitioned very successfully to
the new Mondial Assistance brand!
Poland: Dynamic sales
and innovative healthcare
The assistance market in Poland grew
by 30% in 2008 – and it was an excellent year for our Polish business unit.
We achieved high sales growth despite a more competitive environment.
We now have a 33% share of the
country’s assistance market and are
24
Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008
considered a domestic leader. We have
also built a strong base to foster future
growth. How? By improving our core
business and successfully launching
new domestic products targeting the
mass market. Our innovative healthcare
products and additional concierge services have also been very successful.
Reunion Island: A diversified
client portfolio
We sustained over 5% growth in our
Reunion Island business unit in 2008.
CRM services remain the main line
of business; that being said, the
assistance activity is picking up vigorously. It combines emergency hotline
solutions with services and claims
handling (i.e. car fleets, insurance
claims and real estate management…).
In response to this growth, we recently
launched several innovative solutions for
our customers. Our client portfolio has
grown as well and now includes several
public sector entities.
Russia & CIS: a bold beginning
for travel insurance and
roadside assistance
On March 1st, 2008 we kicked off our
new Russian activities and had a very
promising first year. Our 24/7 assistance
platform, which also covers medical
requests, helped many people and
handled over 5,000 files in 10 months!
We’re also pleased to announce that our
Russian team is now complete. Our core
activities in this vast market are travel
insurance and roadside assistance. So
far we have built a roadside assistance
network in 80 Russian cities and we’re
actively developing our core offer for the
CIS (Commonwealth of Independent
States) and Bulgaria. We’re currently
in close contact with insurance companies in the Ukraine, Kazakhstan and
Armenia.
Spain: Quality improvements
and a bright “green” attitude
With 68% female staff, our Spanish
business unit increased sales by 14.3%
in 2008, mostly from the tourism industry. But who was the real star? A product
line for travel agencies whose revenues
climbed by 30%! We created a new
computer-assistance service, which
works by phone, email or chats, and
offers a remote access option as well.
2008 was a very “green” year for us in
Spain. We extended a caring hand to the
environment and reduced our consumption of paper and paper products by
50%! We also launched a hefty roadside
assistance program in Madrid with 3 tow
trucks – this should let us handle more
than 6,500 cases in our capital a year.
And because you are always on the top
of our mind, we set out to improve the
quality of our roadside assistance services and our ability to design specific
customized solutions for you. How, you
might ask? Through Neoasistencia,
a subsidiary company that focuses
exclusively on these challenges.
Switzerland: new distribution
channels key for future growth
We enjoyed another successful year in
our Swiss business unit. Revenues grew
by 17.3% and we increased our share in
all key markets! We worked in a sound
economic environment into Q3, which
led to a higher loss ratio as people traveled more and paid more to do so. This
trend reversed in Q4. Overall our profit
grew in line with revenues and our combined ratio reached an excellent 94%.
A major change for us in 2008 was the
distribution landscape. For the first time,
a major retail chain is now selling our travel insurance and roadside assistance
products. Car dealers are also offering
travel insurance at the time of a new
car purchase. These new distribution
channels will be key for our future growth.
We also saw a big boost in demand for
healthcare. Popular among newcomers
are medical consulting, medical triage
and disease management products.
Turkey: We’ve come a long way...
We’ve come a long way with our Turkish
business unit, and 2008 was a fine
example of the progress we’ve made.
Our turnover grew by more than 30%
and we achieved a combined ratio of
93%! Perhaps equally as rewarding – we
received a prize for Home Assistance!
We can confidently say today that we are
looking forward to sustainable growth
in the future. We’ve set our sights on
wider horizons too. With our new entity,
Mondial Assistance Insurance, we have
entered the insurance sector and will
soon have full insurance capability. We
are pursuing the medical and assistance
businesses in regions like Azerbaijan
and Georgia. Through an internal IT
tool, the Eureka Project, we made great
cost containment achievements in the
medical sector. As a result, our business
units in Germany, France, Holland and
Belgium come through us to manage
their medical and technical files.
We continue to make gains in both the
banking and automotive sectors, and
recently signed agreements with two
major automobile brands. This positive
dynamic is not just a feeling. It’s real,
reflected in our improved NPS rating and
growing staff.
UK and Ireland: Booming
e-commerce and streamlined
processes
2008 was a challenging year for our
UK and Irish business units due to the
economic downturn. But in the end
we maintained our final annual results.
We made new business wins throughout
the year. Among them is one of the UK’s
leading tour operators. We’ve been very
successful in developing sales of our
on-line warranty and travel insurance
products. Continuous improvement is
part of our daily vocabulary and for 2008
this was no exception. So that we can
help you better and faster, we significantly improved our call centre efficiency
and automatic dispatch processes to our
technicians in the field. Today, our UK
business unit is among the region’s top
three providers of dedicated roadside
assistance, travel insurance administration and automotive warranty. You should
also know that we focused a great deal
in 2008 on developing our people and in
investing in technology. HR and Internal
Communications offered strong support
for in-house training. The old adage «a
little goes a long way» is absolutely
true. Our simple actions reinforced
staff Engagement and Loyalty, and
maximized productivity. Today we are
recognized for our excellent customer
services and successfully implementing
innovative change; staff turnover is way
down, well below the industry average,
and our operating results are strong.
Middle East & Africa:
Reinforcing the core business
Throughout 2008, we supported Allianz
in developing its activities in Africa and
the Middle East by providing quality travel insurance. Our aim is to help as many
people as possible, so we took appropriate action. We furthered our relations
with existing partners in the Near East,
including Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.
And we began developing services for
new partners in the Gulf countries, focusing particularly on insurers, banks and
airlines.

Review of Operations
For the year 2008
Turnover (Premiums and Service Revenue)
In 2008, Mondial Assistance reached
its targets by achieving 1.6 billion euros
gross turnover with a combined ratio
below 95%. This good result was possible
thanks to the insurance business whose
written premiums increased by +8.1%
compared to last year, along with stable
service revenues.
48% of the revenues come from travel
insurance products, such as trip cancellation, medical costs coverage and medical
assistance. This line of business had a
growth of +2.8% in 2008 with a clear trend
to internet online business through travel
agents and airlines companies.
The business contributing to the half of
the total growth was automotive. Representing 39% of the total group revenues,
with mainly roadside assistance products, the line of business automotive
had a growth of +8.1%.
The remaining part of the business is
split between the third line of business
health and lifecare services, representing
8% of the total revenues, and the fourth
one property & others with 5% revenue
share. The corresponding products
sold mainly on the finance market had
respectively turnover increases of +7.1%
and +18.7%.
Geographically, the Americas and EMEA
regions were the main contributors
to the growth of revenues in volume,
respectively with +18.6% and +4.1%,
followed by Asia Pacific with +7.9%.
The strong growth, mainly coming
from France, Brazil, Italy and the USA,
was heavily impacted by -40.7 million
euros resulting from important foreign
exchange rates fluctuations during the
year 2008, the major impacts being with
the British pound, the US dollar and the
Australian dollar.
Claims and expenses
Compared to last year, the claims ratio
improved by 1.4% point from 58.4% to
57.8%. This comes from both a slight
improvement of the current year claims
ratio and also a better run-off from previous year claims.
Globally the commission ratio gross of
reinsurance moved from 20.7% in 2007
to 20.5% in 2008, which is very stable
as during last years and mostly driven by
the insurance business ratio of 23.9%.
In addition to those improvements, the
efficient control of the costs has to be
emphasized as the general expenses
increased by only +5.1% to 565.2 million
euros and the general expenses ratio
decreased from 37% in 2007 to 36%
in 2008. In parallel, Headcounts increased
by +4.9% and full time equivalent
increased by +6.1%.
As a consequence of the above mentioned improvement, the combined ratio,
as a mix of insurance and service businesses, improved to 94.9%.
Investments and financial results
At December 31st, 2008, the Group’s
financial investments amounted to
581.6 million euros, which represent
40.5% of the total assets, compared to
562.4 million euros and 41% in 2007.
In 2008 there were 45 million euros less
long term bank deposits than in 2007,
28
Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008
especially in UK, and 52.3 million euros
more securities available for sale, mainly
coming from more cash invested in
money market mutual funds.
The investments and financial results
decreased by -9.4 million euros in 2008
to 24.1 million euros, thereof -7.6 million
euros coming from exchange rates
result especially on contracts in British
pound, US dollar, Canadian dollar and
euro against Swiss franc. Furthermore,
the result from investments was lower
than in 2007 due to the economic crisis
and the impairment of some bonds.

Result before and after tax, and return on equity
The result generated by the operating
activities increased by +11.9% compared to 2007 to 79.9 million euros.
Thanks to this operating result, Mondial
Assistance could achieved 103.1 million
euros result before tax in 2008 which is
higher than in 2007 by +1%. Without
any negative translation impact due
to fluctuations in currency exchange
rates since year-end 2007, this consolidated profit could have been
hypothetically 3.5 million euros higher.
Deducting the taxes on profits of
38 million euros, lower than in 2007
by 5.1 million euros due to a one-off
increase in 2007 following a change
in the Switzerland’s tax legislation, profit
after taxes ended up at 62.6 million
euros, which is 5.5 million euros better
than in 2007.
Correspondingly, the return on equity
throughout the twelve-month period
ended December 31st, 2008 increased
to 17.3% in 2008.
Changes in Group structure
As during previous years, some changes
in Group structure took place during the
year 2008. In addition to new consolidations, a legal restructuring of the Group
has started in 2008 and following steps
are expected in 2009 and following
years. Details of these 2008 operations
can be found in the chapter “Notes
to the consolidated financial statements”,
starting on page 35 of this report.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
of Mondial Assistance Group
Consolidation scope
The consolidated financial statements
of Mondial Assistance Group comprise
the annual accounts of Mondial
Assistance AG and subsidiaries, which
are prepared in accordance with the
accounting and valuation principles of the
Mondial Assistance Group. Consolidated subsidiaries are listed further in
the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
In 2008, the following companies
were founded: Neoasistencia Manoteras S.L. (Spain), Mondial Assistance
Sigorta Aracilik Hizmetleri Ltd Sirketi
(Turkey) and Atencion Integral a la
Dependencia S.L. (Spain). The first
two were consolidated in the Mondial
Assistance Group; whereas the last
one is a joint venture held at 50% and
is accounted for according the Equity
method.
In 2008, one Italian company Mondial
Contact Center Italia S.r.l. was acquired
and has been consolidated into Mondial
Assistance Group.
Finally, the Spanish subsidiary Mondial
Assistance Seguros y Reaseguros de
Riesgos Diversos was closed, and
replaced by a new branch: Elvia Travel
Insurance Spain.
Consolidation principles
Subsidiaries have been recorded according to the full consolidation method
when subject to the majority control of
the Mondial Assistance Group.
All intra-group transactions and balances
have been eliminated.
Interests in joint ventures are recognised
by including the accounts using the
equity consolidation basis.
Equity investments in which the Mondial
Assistance Group owns at least 20%
of the voting rights are accounted
for using the equity method, except
for investments in which the Mondial
Assistance Group is not able to exercise
significant influence, in which case the
cost method is used.
Participations in which the company
owns less than 20% are accounted for
under the cost method.
The equity and net income attributable
to minority shareholders’ interests are
disclosed separately in the balance sheet
and income statement respectively.
The purchase method of accounting is
used for acquired businesses, including
entities under common control of
Mondial Assistance AG’s ultimate holding
company. Companies acquired or
disposed of during the year are included
in the consolidated financial statements
from the date of acquisition or to the
date of disposal respectively.
Foreign currency
translation
The Group’s reporting currency is the
euro (€). The functional currency for each
Group company is the currency of the
environment where the enterprise carries
on its activities. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the closing rate on the balance
sheet date. Expenses and income are
translated at the annual average rate from
the functional currency into the reporting
currency. Translation differences between
the functional currency and reporting
currency, including those arising in the
process of equity consolidation, are taken
to shareholders’ equity without affecting
earnings. Translation differences between
the transaction currency and functional
currency are reported in earnings.

Restatement of 2007
A detailed actuarial review performed
during 2008 has shown that the income
recognition policy for certain contracts
in the US, Australian, and Portuguese
Business Units requires adjustment
and this has led to a restatement being
required of the 2007 results.

finance expense for each accounting

leased assets is consistent with that for
other depreciable assets.
Investments
Accounting
and valuation policies
Other intangible fixed assets are amortised using the straight-line method over
their estimated period of benefit with a
maximum of 5 years.
BALANCE SHEET
Tangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets include goodwill
and other intangible assets such as
exclusivity fees and software purchased
from others or developed in-house.
Goodwill represents the difference
between the purchase price of subsidiaries and the proportionate share of
their net assets valued at the current
value of all assets and liabilities at
the time of acquisition. Goodwill is
recognised as an asset in the balance
sheet and is not amortised.
The Mondial Assistance Group periodi cally evaluates the recoverability of
Goodwill and takes into account events
or circumstances that indicate the existence of an impairment. Impairment
testing for goodwill is carried out at
least annually, at the end of the year. The
impairment is recognized through the
income statement and the reversal of an
impairment loss is prohibited.
Other intangible fixed assets are measured initially at cost and are recognised
if it is probable that the future economic
benefits that are attributable to the asset
will flow to the Group and the cost of the
asset can be measured reliably. After initial

issued without considering the period of
the contract because the unearned premium was believed to be immaterial.
The contracts requiring these adjustments are:
• for US: mainly travel insurance contracts with an average duration of
3 months;
• for Australia: travel insurance contracts with an average duration of
Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008
Tangible fixed assets include property
and other tangible fixed assets such as
equipment.
Property used for own use and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated
using the straight-line method over the
shorter of the estimated life of the asset
or the lease term. Land is not depreciated. Buildings are depreciated over a
maximum of 50 years in accordance with
the useful life of the building, while other
tangible fixed assets are depreciated over
the period of their estimated useful life at
the date of purchase which is between
3 and 10 years.
The Group recognises finance leases as
assets and liabilities in the balance sheet
at the amount equal at the inception of
the lease to the fair value of the leased
property. Initial direct costs incurred are
included as part of the asset. Lease
payments are apportioned between
the finance charge and the reduction
of the outstanding liability. The finance
charge is allocated to periods during the
lease term so as to produce a constant
periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability for each period.
A finance lease gives rise to depreciation expense for the asset as well as a
Investments include securities available
for sale, investments at fair value through
profit & loss, mortgages, long term bank
deposits and loans.
Securities available for sale are
accounted for at fair value. Positive and
negative differences between market
value and cost or amortised cost are
included in a separate component of
shareholders’ equity, net of deferred tax.
Realised gains and losses are principally
determined by applying the average cost
method.
Investments at fair value through profit
& loss are accounted for at fair value.
Changes in fair value are included in
profit and loss.
Mortgages, long term bank deposits
and loans are valued at cost less any
necessary value adjustment.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at nominal
value less any necessary value adjustment.
Deferred acquisition costs
Deferred acquisition costs, which are
incurred in connection with the acquisition or renewal of insurance policies,
are capitalised and amortised through
the income statement over the term of
the policies.
Cash and cash equivalents
This item includes balances with banks
payable on demand, cash on hand and
bank deposits with a maturity of three
months or less at the date of purchase.
The carrying amount of cash with banks
and cash on hand corresponds to the
fair value. Cash funds are stated at their
face value, with holdings of foreign notes
and coins valued at year-end closing
rates.
Deferred tax
The calculation of deferred tax is based
on temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets or liabilities
in the published balance sheet and their
tax basis, and on differences arising from
the application of uniform valuation policies for consolidation purposes. The tax
rates used for the calculation of deferred
taxes are the local rates applicable in
the countries concerned. Substantively
enacted changes in tax law are already
taken into account as at the balance
sheet date.
Impairment of assets
All assets are reviewed regularly to
ensure that no further value adjustments
are required. Valuation write-downs are
charged to the income statement if an
other than temporary diminution in value
is identified. Write-downs are based on
the relevant estimated recoverable
amounts.
Accounting for operating leases
Equipment and vehicles held under
operating leases, whereby the risks
and benefits relating to ownership of
the assets remain with the lessor, are
not recorded in the balance sheet and
all related expenses are accounted for
in the income statement in the period
they arise.
Technical provisions and deferred
service income
Technical provisions and deferred service
income unearned premium reserves,
deferred service income, claim reserves
and other technical provisions.
Premiums written and service income
attributable to future periods are deferred
under unearned premium reserves respectively under deferred service income
on a pro-rata basis, over the period of
the contract on a daily basis.
Claim reserves are assessed according to
local regulatory requirements, on a case
by case basis and are supplemented
by IBNR reserves (reserves for claims
Incurred But Not Reported) based on
management and statistical estimates.
Non-technical provisions
These include personnel provisions and
similar liabilities, provision for income
taxes and other non-technical provisions.
Pension and similar reserves are calculated taking local circumstances into
account as well as expected future
trends in salaries and wages, retirement
rates and pension increases.
Defined benefit plans are recognised
using the method of accruing actuarial
gains and losses through income.
Provisions for income taxes are calculated in accordance with the relevant
local tax regulations.
Other liabilities
EXPLANATION OF THE
ACCOUNTING AND
VALUATION POLICIES
DIFFERING
FROM SWISS LAW
The most important differences are summarised below.
Investments available for sale
(afs investments)
Investments available for sale are shown
in the balance sheet at market value
with the unrealised gains / losses being
included under other reserves in shareholders’ equity.
Investments are recorded at the lower of
cost and market value under the Swiss
Code of Obligations.
Claim equalisation reserves
Other liabilities include deposits retained
from reinsurers, loans, liabilities direct/
indirect business, liabilities with associated companies (current accounts),
deferred income and other liabilities.
Claim equalisation reserves and catastrophe reserves are not allowed under
Mondial Assistance Group accounting
policies because they do not represent
a present obligation towards third parties.
INCOME STATEMENT
Claims reserves
Turnover
Under Mondial Assistance Group
accounting policies, claims reserves
usually are lower than under statutory
accounting principles as they are calculated at the best estimate of the ultimate
cost. The Swiss Code of Obligations
requires a conservative calculation in
accordance with the prudence principles.
Turnover includes insurance premiums
and service income.
Premiums earned
Premiums written for travel insurance are
reported proportionately as income over
the term of the insurance contract on a
daily basis.
Claims and service administration
expenses (internal claims handling
costs ICHC and internal service
handling costs ISHC)
Claims and service handling costs are
assessed according to business management criteria and reported under
claims incurred and service administration expenses.
Ordinary result
Interest income and interest expense
are recognised on an accrual basis.
Dividends are recognised as income
when received.
Interest on finance leases is recognised
as interest expense over the term of the
respective lease.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense includes current
income taxes and deferred income
taxes.
Premium receivables /
claims payable
Premium receivables from fronting
transactions are shown net of claims
payable.
Acquisition costs
Under Mondial Assistance Group
accounting policies acquisition costs
are capitalised and amortised over the
term of policy.
Goodwill
Goodwill with an indefinite useful life is
not amortised under Mondial Assistance
Group accounting policies. Impairment
testing for goodwill is carried out at least
annually and if impairment is applicable,
it is recognised through the income
statement.
Goodwill is usually amortised under the
Swiss Code of Obligations.

Tangible fixed Assets
The gross capitalised values totalled

depreciation amounted to 3.014 thousand euros at the beginning of the year
and 3.096 thousand euros at the end of
the year.
The gross capitalised values totalled
132.904 thousand euros at the beginning of the year and 137.988 thousand
euros at the end of the year.

85.504 thousand euros at the beginning
of the year and 93.046 thousand euros
at the end of the year. Expenditures

otherwise they are recognised as an
expense.

thousand euros at the beginning and
19.497 thousand euros at the end of

Report of the Group Auditors
on the consolidated financial statements to the Board
of Directors of Mondial Assistance AG, Wallisellen
As group auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements on pages 30 to 42 of
Mondial Assistance AG, which comprise the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
Board of Directors’ Responsibility
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the consolidation and valuation principles as set out in the notes. This responsibility includes designing,
implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting
and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 comply with Swiss law and the
consolidation and valuation principles as set out in the notes.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence
(article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.
We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Report of the Statutory Auditors
on the financial statements to the General Meeting
of Mondial Assistance AG, Wallisellen
As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying financial statements on pages 44 to 45 of Mondial Assistance AG,
which comprise the balance sheet, income statement and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Board of Directors’ Responsibility
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of
Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining
an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies
and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal
control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 comply with Swiss law and the company’s
articles of incorporation.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence
(article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.
In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control
system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of financial statements according to the instructions of the board
of directors.
We further confirm that the proposed appropriation of available earnings complies with Swiss law and the company’s articles
of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.
