This standard eliminates the categories existing under IAS 39 – assets held to maturity, assets available for sale and loans and receivables. IFRS 9 shall be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In accordance with IFRS 9, financial assets shall be classified in one of the following two categories upon initial recognition: financial assets at amortized cost or financial assets at fair value. A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if the following two criteria are met: financial assets relate to the business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and the contractual terms provide the basis for collection at certain future dates of cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets shall be measured at fair value. Gains and losses on the fair value measurement of financial assets shall be recognized in the profit and loss statement, except for investments in equity instruments which are not traded, where IFRS 9 allows at initial recognition a subsequently irreversible choice to recognize changes in fair value within other gains and losses in the statement of comprehensive income. An amount recognized in such a manner within the statement of comprehensive income cannot subsequently be recognized in profit and loss. Given the nature of the Bank’s operations, the adoption of the standard is expected to have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements. • Amendments to IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” – Accounting for Acquisition of an Interest in a Joint Operation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016); • IFRS 14 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016); • IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” defining the framework for revenue recognition.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.3. Standards and Interpretations in Issue not yet in Effect (Continued) • Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 ); • Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and IAS 41 “Agriculture” – Agriculture: Bearer Plants (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016); • IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016); • Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 ); • Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014); • Amendments resulting from Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle issued in December 2013 (IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, IAS 24 and IAS 38) with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014); and • Amendments resulting from Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle issued in December 2013 (IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40) with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014). 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 3.1. Interest Income and Expenses Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement for all interest-bearing financial instruments following the effective interest method. Interest income and expenses are recorded in the Bank’s income statement in the period to which they belong by applying the “matching principle” and following the requirements delineated in the agreement signed between a customer and the Bank. Loan origination fees are credited to profit and loss account as interest income, i.e., as the adjustment to the effective return on loans disbursed proportionately to the outstanding loan maturities. Interest accrued is recorded within the income statements when there is no doubt as to its collectability in accordance with IAS 18 and the Guidance for Recognition Interest Income and Manner of Interest Recognition after Unwinding, which is an integral part of the Bank's Accounting Policies. Up to 2014, in accordance with the Rules on the Layout of Chart of Accounts and Content of Accounts in the Chart of Accounts for Banks (Official Gazette of RS, nos. 98/2007, 57/2008 and 3/2009), the Bank suspended interest, i.e., discontinued adding interest to assets with certain degree of recoverability. Interest suspension was performed in the manner and via account prescribed by the aforecited Rules, while the collection of suspended interest was recorded in the income accounts under the aforecited Rules. In 2014 the Bank no longer suspended interest. 11 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.1. Interest Income and Expenses (Continued) Interest income from performing and risk-free loans whose collection is certain is fully recognized. Interest income from the borrowers/loans subject to individual impairment assessment is recognized in accordance with IAS 39. When a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets is written off due to impairment loss, the related interest income is recognized from then on using the interest rate applied in discounting the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. For borrowers/loans subject to group or collective impairment assessment, interest income is recognized in proportion to the net value of the loan. The Bank's management is of the opinion that this change to the accounting policy of interest income has no material effect on the prior years' financial statements of the Bank. 3.2. Fee and Commission Income and Expenses Fee and commission income and expenses from banking services (payment transactions, issuance of guaranties and other sureties, letters of credit, purchase and sale of foreign currencies and other banking services) when such services are invoiced and rendered. Fees and commission charged for guarantees, sureties and letters of credit issued are deferred and recognized as income proportionately over their maturity periods. The Bank recognizes fee and commission income that is part of the effective interest as interest income. 3.3. Foreign Exchange Translation Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into dinars at official middle exchange rates of the National Bank of Serbia effective as at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising on the translation of receivables and payables are credited or charged to income statement. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into dinars at official exchange rates effective at the date of each transaction. Net foreign exchange positive or negative effects arising upon the translation of transactions, and the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are credited or charged to the income statement as foreign exchange gains or losses. Commitment and contingent liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into dinars at official middle exchange rates of the National Bank of Serbia effective as at the reporting date. The exchange rates for major currencies used in the translation of balance sheet components into dinars were as follows: Currency USD CHF EUR 3.4. Official middle exchange rate at December 31, 2014 Official middle exchange rate at December 31, 2013 99.4641 100.5472 120.9583 83.1282 93.5472 114.6421 impairment of Financial Assets and Credit risk-Weighted Off-Balance Sheet Items The bank makes impairment allowance for loans and other financial assets as well as credit risk-weighted off-balance sheet items when recoverability thereof is no longer certain as well as when there is a probability of incurring losses per credit risk-weighted off-balance sheet items. Impairment allowance is made under the Bank's Accounting Policy adopted in accordance with IAS 39 and defined in the Procedure for Assessing Impairment of Balance Sheet Assets and Probable Losses per OffBalance Sheet Items in accordance with IFRS/IAS. 12 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.5. Cash and Cash Funds Held with the Central Bank Cash and cash funds held with the central bank include cash on hand in local and in foreign currencies, balances on the current accounts with the National Bank of Serbia, including the obligatory RSD and foreign currency reserves, gold and other precious metals as well as funds on current accounts held with other domestic and foreign banks in local and in foreign currencies (Note 17). Cash equivalents comprise gold and other precious metals initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at their market value. The market value is determined based on the price of precious metals quoted on the world market. The increase in the market value is recognized as income while the decrease is included in expenses on the income statement. 3.6. Financial Instruments 3.6.1. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payment that are not quoted on an active market. Loans originated by the Bank are recognized within the balance sheet upon the transfer of loan funds to the borrower. Loans are initially recorded at the price representing the market value of the cash funds disbursed as loans, including all transaction costs; loans are subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method. The Bank makes impairment allowance for those loans that are no longer recoverable in accordance with the Procedure for Assessing Impairment of Balance Sheet Assets and Probable Losses per Off-Balance Sheet Items in accordance with IFRS/IAS. In its loan portfolio the Bank has loans agreed upon with a number of borrowers with contractually defined currency clause as a risk hedge. Income arising from currency clause effects is recorded within the income statement under net foreign gains and positive currency clause effects (Note 9). Currency clause is a derivative which is not recorded separately from its host contract given that the economic benefits and risks of the embedded derivative closely related to the host contract. In its loan portfolio the Bank has loans linked to the consumer price index (officially published), which were contracted and approved in prior periods. Income and expenses arising therefrom are recorded as gains and losses on risk hedges (Note 7). Contractual loan link to the consumer price index represents embedded derivatives which are closely related to the host contracts yet recorded separately from those host contracts. 3.6.2. Impairment Allowance of Balance Sheet Assets and Provisions for Losses per Off-Balance Sheet Items Impairment allowance of balance sheet assets and provisions for losses per off-balance sheet items are made based on the estimate of the impairment of balance sheet assets and probable losses per offbalance sheet items in accordance with IFRS/IAS as part of the Bank's accounting policies adopted based on IAS 39. Impairment allowance of balance sheet assets is recorded within assets on the impairment allowance accounts in the income statements while provisions for losses per off-balance sheet items are recorded on the accounts prescribed for this purpose by NBS, within liabilities. 3.6.3. Securities and Financial Assets Carried at Fair value through Profit and Loss (Trading Assets) Trading securities comprise those securities held by the Bank for the purpose of their sale with the objective of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in their market prices. The Bank uses the settlement date calculation upon recording transactions of purchasing securities held for trading. Transaction costs are not included in the value thereof but presented within the expenses of the period. Any unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the market value of such assets are recognized as from the transaction origination date (trade date) in the profit and loss statement. Following the trading date, when the transaction is settled (settlement date), the resulting financial assets shall be recognized within the balance sheet at market value of the consideration paid for acquisition of securities increased by the changes in the market value of the contract arisen since the trading date. 13 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued) 3.6.3. Securities and Financial Assets Carried at Fair value through Profit and Loss (Trading Assets) (Continued) Market value is determined based on the valuation techniques, fair value hierarchies and inputs of the certain fair value hierarchy levels in accordance with the provisions of the relevant IFRS/IAS. All realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the market value of trading securities are recognized in the income statement as gains and losses on the financial assets held for trading (Note 6). As of December 31, 2014 the Bank had only derivatives held for trading in its portfolio (Note 18). 3.6.4. Securities and Other Financial Assets Held to Maturity Securities and other financial assets held to maturity are financial assets with fixed maturities that the Bank intends to hold up to their maturity dates. Securities held to maturity are stated at their amortized cost using the effective interest method net of accumulated impairment. The amortized cost is calculated taking into account all discounts or premiums earned upon the purchase over the maturity period. Interest accrued as of the balance sheet date is credited to income in the profit and loss account. Changes in the fair value of these securities are also included in the profit and loss under gains or losses on the valuation of securities. This category of securities includes bills of exchange received for discounting and commercial papers (Note 20). 3.6.5. Securities and Other Financial Assets Available for Sale Securities and other financial assets available for sale are non-derivative financial assets designated as available for sale (AFS) and are not classified as: loans and receivables, investments held to maturity or financial assets ate fair value through profit and loss. AFS financial assets represent financial instruments intended to be held for and indefinite period, which can nevertheless be sold for liquidity maintenance or due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates or equity prices. Securities available for sale are measured at market value. Market value is determined based on the valuation techniques, fair value hierarchies and inputs of the certain fair value hierarchy levels in accordance with the provisions of the relevant IFRS/IAS. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the market value of available-for sale investments are stated as reserves within equity until such a financial asset is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of or until it is determined to have suffered impairment. Upon sales or permanent impairment of these securities adequate amounts of previously formed revaluation reserves are stated in the income statement as net gains or losses on securities. 3.6.6. Equity Investments Investments in Subsidiaries Investments in the Bank’s subsidiary are recorded in the Bank's financial statements using the historical cost method. The Bank recognizes income from the investment only if the subsidiary has distributed profit, i.e. if the subsidiary has enacted a decision on profit distribution. Such income is recorded within the income statement. As at December 31, 2014 the Bank was the owner of the entire (100%) equity interest in OTP Investments d.o.o Novi Sad, a financial sector entity. The Bank prepares consolidated financial statements where the subsidiary OTP Investments d.o.o Novi Sad is included under full consolidation method, given that this entity is under the Bank's control in accordance with IFRS 10. 14 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued) 3.6.6. Equity Investments (Continued) Investments in Associates Investments in associated entities are recorded in the Bank's financial statements using equity method, i.e., they are initially recorded at cost. As at the balance sheet date the amounts of equity investments are increased or decreased by the amount of the Bank's percentage share in the profit or loss of the associate. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had no equity investments in associates. All investments are initially recorded at their nominal value. Dividend income from investments in shares of other legal entities and form equity investments held in other entities is included within dividend income when the Bank’s entitlement to receive the dividend payment is established. 3.7. Intangible Assets, Property, Plant and Equipment The Bank’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are recognized at cost (historical cost) less any accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives: Buildings Computers Calculators, typewriters and money handling machines Passenger vehicles Communications equipment Heating equipment Copying equipment Furniture IT equipment Mobile phones Other equipment Leasehold improvements 1% – 6.59% 20% 15.5% 15.5% 10% 16.5% 14.3% 12,5% 10 – 20% 33.33% 11% In accordance with the relevant lease agreement terms Property, plant and equipment are periodically reviewed in order to determine indicators of impairment, if any. 3.8. Investment Property The Bank’s investment property is property held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. An investment property is measured at fair value which accounts for all movements in the market value and is recorded in the income statement. The Bank's investment property is not depreciated. 3.9. Non-Current Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets held for sale are the assets classified upon acquisition as non-current, which the Bank decided to dispose of after a certain period of use. Upon the reclassification of a portion of assets into non-current assets held for sale, assets are measured at the lower of their carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. In the first case, the asset is stated at its carrying value whereas in the latter case, revaluation surplus accrued for that particular asset is reversed, and the amount in excess of such surplus is charged to expenses of the given period as impairment of assets. 15 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.9. Non-Current Assets Held for Sale (Continued) Impairment losses are transferred to losses on the sale in case such asset is reclassified into the category of assets held for sale and sold in the same year. In case of reclassification from investment property carried at fair value the rules of measurement need not be applied. In order to reclassify and asset from investment property to non-current assets held for sale, not only a relevant decision on the sale is to be made but also the capital expenditure of reclassification of such an asset. Depreciation of non-current assets held for sale is not calculated. Sales of such assets are recorded as net sales. The remaining assets classified in this category meet the requirements prescribed by IFRS 5 for continued recognition of non-current assets held for sale and are available for sale (Note 30). 3.10. Assets Held for Sale Tangible assets received in lieu of debt collection, as well as property from joint ventures are classified as assets held for sale and presented within the line item of inventories. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of cost and at fair value less costs to sell. These assets are not depreciated as long as they are classified as tangible assets received in lieu of debt collection in the above described manner. 3.11. Equity The Bank's equity is comprised of: issued capital, share issue premium, reserves and retained earnings/ accumulated losses. Issued Capital The Bank's share capital is formed from the monetary contributions made by the Bank's founders. For funds invested, shareholders receive a proportionate number of shares or receipts as defined in the Law on the Capital Market (Official Gazette of RS no. 31/11). Shareholders cannot withdraw funds invested in the Bank’s share capital. The Bank uses capital to perform banking operations and cover operating risks. Revaluation Reserves The surplus determined in the revaluation of property and equipment is credited to revaluation reserves. If a previously revalued asset with positive revaluation effects credited to revaluation reserves is sold or disposed of, the respective revaluation surplus credited to revaluation reserves is transferred to retained earnings (Note 40). Where the fair value of property decreases because the asset’s market value is below its carrying value, revaluation surplus arising from that particular asset is reversed accordingly to the extent of the previously formed revaluation reserves. Unrealized gains and losses arising from remeasurement of securities available for sale to their market value are recorded as reserves within equity (Note 40). The structure of and changes in the Bank's equity are disclosed in Note 40. 3.12. Borrowings and Due Deposits Liabilities arising from borrowings and due deposits are recognized within the balance sheet when the respective funds are deposited. Upon initial recognition, borrowings and deposits are measured at fair value increased by transaction costs which may be added to the respective deposits or presented as separate financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition, liabilities arising from borrowings and deposits due are measured at amortized cost by applying the effective interest method. Foreign currency deposits are stated in RSD as translated by applying the middle exchange rates effective as of the balance sheet date. 16 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.13. Managed Funds The Bank manages funds on behalf of and for the account of third parties and charges fees for these services. These items are not included in the Bank’s balance sheet and are presented within off-balance sheet items (Note 41). 3.14. Employee Benefits The Bank does not have defined benefit plans or share-based remuneration options and there were no identified liabilities thereof as of December 31, 2014. The Bank calculated future retirement benefits in accordance with IAS 19, based on the assumptions made in accordance with the provisions of the aforesaid standard. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank increased provisions in comparison to December 31, 2013. 3.15. Taxes and Contributions 3.15.1. Current Income Tax Current income tax represents an amount that is calculated by applying the prescribed income tax rate of 15% to the taxable base stated in the income tax return, which includes the profit shown in the statutory statement of income, as adjusted for certain permanent and temporary differences that are specifically defined under statutory tax rules of the Republic of Serbia. Current income tax is calculated and paid in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Law and other relevant fiscal regulations prevailing in the Republic of Serbia. The monthly advance income tax payment is paid on monthly basis while the adjustment of the sum of advance payments is made at the year-end, i.e. upon submission of the tax balance and the annual income tax return to the tax authorities for advance and final determination of the corporate income tax. 3.15.2. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the Bank's financial statements in accordance with IAS 12. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences as at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values used for financial reporting purposes, which will result in taxable amounts in the future periods. Deferred tax assets are income tax amounts recoverable in the future periods which pertain to all deductible temporary differences and all unused tax credits and losses available for carryforward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined at the tax rate expected to be applied in the period of the relevant asset realization/liability settlement, based on the currently enacted or tax rates expected to be enacted up to the balance sheet date. As at December 31, 2014, deferred tax assets and liabilities were provided at the rate of 15%. In 2014 the Bank recognized deferred tax assets based on the temporary differences between the base of calculation tax-purpose and financial reporting depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, provisions for retirement benefits calculated in accordance with IAS 19, impairment of assets and unpaid public duties payable. The Bank did not recognize deferred tax assets based on the stated tax losses and unused tax credit in accordance with IAS 12, paragraph 24. 3.15.3. Indirect Taxes and Contributions Indirect taxes and contributions include property taxes, value added tax, payroll taxes and contributions and various other taxes and contributions paid pursuant to effective republic and local tax regulations. These taxes and contributions are included within operating expenses and staff costs. VAT may be presented within certain balance sheet items if related to procurements that do not represent expenses but certain balance sheet items according to IAS. 17 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.16. Financial Derivatives The Bank recognizes financial derivatives at their contractually defined value (cost) within off-balance sheet items, which represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable where any fair value adjustment as of the balance sheet date is recorded in the balance sheet and in the income statement. 3.17. Fair Value The Bank applies provisions of IFRS 13 to determine the fair values of items that are measured at fair value according to its adopted accounting policy. It is the policy of the Bank to disclose the fair value information on those financial assets and financial liabilities for which published market information is readily and reliably available, and whose fair value is materially different from their recorded amounts. The Bank records loans at their fair values as the terms at which the Bank extends loans are reconciled with the market prices through the variable interest rates. As per the Bank’s management, amounts expressed in the financial statements reflect the fair value which is most reliable and useful for the needs of the financial reporting in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as per the Law on Accounting of the Republic of Serbia and regulations of the National Bank of Serbia governing financial reporting of banks. 3.17.1. Loan Adjustment to Market Prices The Bank agrees with retail customers on either fixed or variable interest rates. Where a variable interest rate is agreed in a relevant contract clause, it is subject to reconciliation with variable interest rate elements which are officially published (key policy rate, consumer price index, etc.). In case such an element changes, an annex to the agreement regulating the interest rate change is not signed. Instead, before the changed interest rate is applied, the Bank will inform the customer in writing, or using any other permanent data carrier, of the changed interest rate, stipulating the date when the changed interest rate will come in effect along with a new loan repayment schedule. More detailed terms for the change of interest rate are determined in individual loan agreements. This manner of reconciliations is in accordance with the Law on the Protection of Users of Financial Services. The Bank agrees on variable interest rate with corporate customers, which rate is reconciled with the movements in the key policy rate and amendments to the General Business Terms and formal documents of the Bank determining the product and service prices. 4.

Pursuant to the aforesaid Decision, the obligatory reserve is to be calculated at the rate of 5% on the portion of the RSD base comprised of liabilities maturing within 2 years, i.e. within 730 days, and at the rate of 0% on the portion of the dinar base comprised of liabilities with maturities of over 2 years, i.e. over 730 days. The RSD base for the calculation of the obligatory reserve is the amount of average daily balance of RSD liabilities during the preceding calendar month, except RSD liabilities indexed to a currency clause as follows: - non-indexed liabilities arising from RSD deposits, loans, securities and other RSD liabilities to domestic legal entities and retail bank clients; non-indexed liabilities arising from RSD deposits, loans and other RSD liabilities to foreign creditors. A portion of the obligatory foreign currency reserve was converted into obligatory RSD reserve at the rates of 36% and 28% for the obligatory reserves of up to and over 2 years, respectively. The obligatory RSD reserve balance that had to be maintained from December 18, 2014 to January 17, 2015 amounted to RSD 1,892,528 thousand, where the calculated RSD portion of the reserve amounted to RSD 471,166 thousand, and the RSD equivalent of the reserve portion calculated in EUR and deposited in RSD amounted to RSD 1,421,362 thousand. The Bank is under obligation to calculate and maintain the average daily balance of the allocated obligatory RSD reserve on its gyro account over the accounting period. The calculated obligatory RSD reserve is deposited in RSD on the Bank's gyro account. As at December 31, 2014 the Bank was in full compliance with the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia with regard to the calculation and allocation of the obligatory RSD reserve. The obligatory foreign currency reserve represents the minimum foreign currency reserve set aside in accordance with the NBS Decision on Required Reserves of Banks with the National Bank of Serbia (Official Gazette of RS nos. 3/11, 31/12, 57/12, 78/12, 87/12, 107/12, 62/13, 125/14 and 135/14) which prescribes that banks calculate the obligatory foreign currency reserve at the following rates: - - 27% on the portion of the foreign currency reserve comprised of liabilities maturing within 2 years, i.e. up to 730 days, and exceptionally at the rate of 50% on the portion of the foreign currency reserve comprised of RSD liabilities indexed to a currency clause maturing within 2 years, i.e. up to 730 days; 20% on the portion of the foreign currency reserve comprised of liabilities with maturities of over 2 years, i.e. over 730 days, and exceptionally at the rate of 50% on the portion of the foreign currency reserve comprised of RSD liabilities indexed to a currency clause with maturities of over 2 years, i.e. over 730 days. 24 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 17. CASH AND CASH FUNDS HELD WITH THE CENTRAL BANK (Continued) The foreign currency base for the calculation of required reserve is the amount of average daily balance of foreign currency liabilities during the preceding calendar month and the amount of average daily balance of RSD liabilities from the preceding calendar month indexed to a currency clause as follows: - liabilities arising from deposits, loans, securities and other foreign currency liabilities to foreign creditors; liabilities arising from deposits, loans, securities and other foreign currency liabilities to domestic legal entities and other liabilities; foreign currency savings deposits with other banks; indexed liabilities arising from deposits, loans, securities and other RSD liabilities as well as indexed RSD deposits received through transactions the Bank performs on behalf of and for the account of third parties if they exceed the amounts of loans the Bank disbursed from these deposits.

The Bank reported expenses for retirement benefits of RSD 3,639 thousand within the income statement, while the amount of RSD 273 thousand was stated within equity, as actuarial losses. During the year 2014 the Bank released the amount of RSD 2,992 thousand of the provisions for retirement benefits. Upon calculating provisions for retirement benefits, the Bank used the following assumptions: (1) Discount rate – the Bank used the rate for EUR bonds traded in the principal market. The change in this assumption as compared to prior years had an effect on the level of provisions in the amount of RSD +2,434,282; (2) Estimated annual salary growth rate. The change in this assumption as compared to prior years had an effect on the level of provisions in the amount of RSD -2,161,327 ; and (3) Estimated number of employee survivorship up to the retirement with the Bank. There were no changes in this assumption as compared to prior years. Changes in the actuarial assumption used in the calculation of provisions had the overall net effect on the level of reported provisions in the amount of RSD 272,954. The remaining portion of the difference between the provisions as of December 31, 2014 as compared to those as of December 31, 2013 of RSD 374 thousand pertains to the changes in the number of employees as well as to the change in the amount of the average salary. 39.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES 48.1. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is associated with the adverse effects which the Bank’s inability to settle its liabilities when due could have on the Bank’s financial result and equity. The Bank continuously monitors its exposure to liquidity risk and its compliance with the set limits. During 2014 the Bank's liquidity was within the prescribed limits (liquidity and cash liquidity ratios). Cash liquidity Liquidity ratio ratio 2014 2014 As of December 31 Period's average Maximum Minimum 1.31 1.62 2.24 1.14 1.75 1.98 2.57 1.70 Liquidity ratio 2013 1.93 2.39 4.08 1.26 The Bank maintains the portfolio comprised of highly liquid securities (issued by the National Bank of Serbia or the Republic of Serbia) and diversified assets that are easily convertible into cash in case of unforeseen and adverse fluctuations in the Bank's cash flows. The Bank also maintains the required level of dinar and foreign exchange reserve as required by the National Bank of Serbia. The Bank may call on liquid assets of its Parent Bank and, therefore, in case of deteriorating liquidity due to the financial market crisis the Bank may bridge its liquidity gap by borrowing from the Parent Bank. The Bank's adopted policies and procedures i procedure ensure adequate asset management and adequate liquidity level planning. In addition to the liquidity indicators prescribed by NBS< the bank uses the following methods for measuring liquidity risk exposure: • • • Primary and operating liquidity level (liquid assets maturing up to a month and up to 3 months are compared to target values covering liabilities maturing in the period under review, corporate sector requirements and deposit shock, i.e., 99 percentile change in 3-month deposits); Regular stress testing; and Testing Contingency Financing Plan in Liquidity Crises. For the needs of measuring and monitoring liquidity risk, the Bank measures and monitors net cash flows, by keeping track of assets and liabilities according to their outstanding maturities, by measuring and comparing cash inflows and outflows, i.e. through the GAP analysis. Upon categorizing balance sheet items in the GAP report, the Bank observes the outstanding maturity principle. The Bank compiles a GAP report for dinars (RSD) that make 56% the Bank’s total assets, as well as for significant currencies that make more than 1% of the Bank’s total assets. Those currencies are Euro, comprising 36% of the Bank's total assets, Swiss franc (CHF) comprising 5% and American dollar (USD), comprising 3% of the Bank's total assets. 50 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.1. Liquidity Risk (Continued) Liquidity Stress Test In addition to the liquidity management in the normal course of business, the Bank does periodical stress testing as well in order to identify and measure its liquidity risk exposure in extraordinary circumstances and analyze its potential effects on the cash flows. A stress test model entails a negative scenario based on the assumption that in extraordinary circumstances five largest depositors (scenario "A") and ten largest depositors (scenario "B") will withdraw their deposits. Total outflow of deposits in scenario A would amount to RSD 5,084,838 thousand and in scenario B RSD 6,426,059 thousand.

Given the fact that the Bank has at its disposal RSD 2.8 billion invested in the Interbank Market as well as RSD 3.95 billion invested in Treasury bills with maximum maturity of up to a year, by way of their partial sales the Bank could timely pay out early withdrawal of deposits in the assumed stress situations using a very conservative approach. On the other hand, when expected maturities are modified using the methodology of regrouping deposits based on their historical movements over the past 5 years, in the worst case (99% VaR), 24.74% of transaction deposits could be withdrawn during a month, while 75% comprises stable deposits (with expected maturities of over 2 years). In such an instance, the first bucket would be positive and the gap would amount to RSD 1,537,496 thousand. Given the aforesaid, the stress test revealed that, in the event of withdrawal of deposits by both 5 and 10 largest depositors, the Bank would manage to fulfill its obligations. If there were to be certain disorders in the ensuing period, i.e. if early warning indicators were to be exceeded, the Bank would respond in accordance with the Contingency Financing Plan in Liquidity Crises where both short-term and long-term measures for liquidity improvement are clearly defined. 48.2. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk reflects the uncertainty with respect to the Bank's revenues and capital due to possible fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate risk exposure depends on the Bank's interest-bearing assets relative to its interest-bearing liabilities. The basic principle of managing interest rate risk arising from the Banking book is the principle of matching financial assets and liabilities per interest rate type (fixed or variable) and per maturity, i.e. per date of interest rate adjustment. The Bank informs the ALCO on the proportion of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities and on the compliance of the interest rate risk with the internally prescribed limits on a monthly basis. For the purpose of measuring interest rate risk exposure, the Bank uses the GAP analysis (mismatch analysis).

The acceptable level of interest rate risk is defined by the limit of the maximum possible sensitivity of the Bank's net assets to the fluctuations in the market interest rates. The Bank examines several scenarios involving the parallel shifting of the yield curve as well as scenarios of the changes to the yield curve slopes (yield curve risk). Sensitivity to changes in interest rate risk is performed for each significant currency. 54 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.2. Interest Rate Risk (Continued) Scenario Analysis In addition to the GAP analyses, interest rate risk is also monitored by way of scenario analysis i.e. by observing the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Bank's economic value of equity.

The process of the scenario analysis is comprised of two steps: a) b) Defining scenario of the change in interest rate, and Valuation of interest bearing items under selected scenarios. Change to the economic value of equity is calculated separately for each major currency. Major currencies are those that make above 1% of the Bank’s total assets. For each major currency adequate yield curve was taken into consideration. The Bank defined the following scenarios of changes to interest rates: a) b) c) d) 48.3. Parallel shift of each yield curve by +/- 200 bp,100 bp (except for RSD currency); Steep yield curve – changes in the slope of the yield curve are assumed for the following periods: up to 3 months; from 3 months to 3 years; from 3 ears to 10 years; over 10 years: - for FX: 0; ±100 bp; ±150 bp; ±200 bp - for RSD: 0; ±200 bp; ±300 bp; ±400 bp Yield curve with amplitude – changes in the slope of the yield curve are assumed for the following periods: up to 3 months; from 3 months to year; form 1 year to 3 years; from 3 to 4 years; from 4 to 10 years; over 10 years: - case 1 for FX: +200 bp; +150 bp; +100 bp; 0; +100 bp; +200 bp. - case 2 for FX: -100 bp; -75 bp; -50 bp; 0; -50 bp; -100 bp. - for RSD: ±400 bp; ±300 bp; ±200 bp; 0; ±200 bp; ±300 bp. 1% and 99% percentile of the changes to interest rates under review using changes within the time frame of one year and minimum 5 years of observations (only for RSD). Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk from adverse effects on the Bank's financial result and its equity caused by changes in the foreign currency to dinar exchange rate. The exposure to foreign currency risk based on a certain currency represents potential changes in the value of receivables and payables of the Bank denominated in the given currency which may be ascribed to the movements in the exchange rate. Foreign currency risk arising from a certain currency is measured as the difference between the total amount of receivables and total amount of payables expressed in that currency (foreign currency gap). 55 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.3. Foreign Currency Risk (Continued) The foreign currency risk ratio is the ratio of the total net foreign currency gap and the Bank's capital. The Bank is obligated to ensure that its total net foreign currency gap does not exceed 20% of its regulatory capital.

The limits of foreign currency risk are set so that the Bank protects itself against significant losses contingent on the movements in foreign currency to RSD exchange rates. The Bank manages foreign currency risk in an effective manner as evidenced by the foreign currency risk ratio, which in 2014 equaled 0.79%, the average, which is within the limit prescribed by the National Bank of Serbia. On the last day of the year 2014, the foreign currency risk ratio equaled 3.46%. 56 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48.

Credit Risk The Bank is exposed to credit risk when approving loans and that risk represents a possibility that the borrower shall became incapable to fulfill due obligations, partially or in full. The Bank’s internal acts, business policies and procedures require identification, measurement and assessment of credit risk according to debtor’s creditworthiness, profitability and regularity in settlement of obligations toward the Bank, as well as the quality of collateral. The Bank assesses the recoverable value, i.e. loss on each loan prior to its approval through analyses that are in accordance with the prescribed credit analyses, and periodically (monthly) during the business relationship. Provisions for risks of potential losses are assessed pursuant to the internal methodology in accordance with IAS 39, as well as the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia. The amount of provisions against loan losses carried at amortized cost is computed by discounting future cash flows. In accordance with its internally adopted procedures, the Bank assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment in financial assets at each reporting date. Most common objective evidence includes: customers' significant financial difficulties, breach of contract, insolvency and liquidation. Should it be determined that there is objective evidence of impairment in financial assets, the amount of allowance for impairment is determined as the difference between the asset's carrying value and the present value of future cash flows calculated applying the effective interest rate of the financial asset. The projections of expected cash flows to be collected take into account the financial position of a customer, as well as the agreement achieved with the customer, value, quality and marketability of collaterals provided. The allowance for impairment of balance sheet assets calculated in this manner and provisions for losses on off-balance sheet items are charged to the Bank's expenses The assessment of objective evidence of impairment is carried out on individual basis for individually significant financial assets. The assets that are individually assessed for impairment with their respective allowance for impairment recorded are not taken into account in the group assessment. . 57 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.4. Credit Risk (Continued) The assessment is made on a portfolio basis (group assessment) for all assets that are not individually significant and for impairments that are likely to be found in the portfolio but for which there is no objective evidence of individual impairment. Group level assessment is diversified according to criteria based on the type of debtor, type of asset and its maturity, into subgroups with similar characteristics. Special reserve for potential losses is determined in accordance with the relevant NBS regulations. Loans, receivables and other Bank exposures are classified into the categories A, B, V, G and D, in accordance with the evaluation of their collectability, depending on: the number of days the payments of principal and interest due are in arrears, evaluation of the debtor financial standing and credit worthiness and quality of collaterals. The estimated amount of special reserve for potential losses is calculated by applying the following percentages per loan category: A - 0%, B - 2%, V - 15%, G - 30% and D – 100%. The amount of the required special reserve for potential losses represents the sum of determined positive differences between the reserve for estimated losses calculated according to the NBS regulations (Official Gazette of RS nos. 94/11, 57/12, 123/12, 43/13, 113/13 and 135/14) and the calculated amount of allowance for impairment of balance sheet assets and provisions for losses per off-balance sheet items determined in accordance with the Bank’s internal methodology. 48.4.1. Credit Commitments Guarantees, other forms of sureties and letters of credit issued are irrevocable commitments that the Bank will make payment in case the customer is unable to settle its liabilities towards third parties when due and are therefore treated as loan equivalents. Credit commitments also represent unused portions of frame loans (revolving loans, current account overdrafts, credit cards and the like), which are treated depending on the cancellability and outstanding maturity. Given that credit risk is associated with credit commitments, the Bank may incur loss in the amount equaling total undrawn funds. However, the anticipated amount of loss is below the total undrawn funds. The Bank makes provisions and includes those within expenses for commitments according to its internal methodology for loans and receivables. 48.4.1.1.

Restructured Loans Loan restructuring activities are performed when it is highly unlikely that the debtor will be able to settle the liability towards the Bank in full and in accordance with the terms stipulated in the relevant loan agreement. The restructuring activities include redefining debtor-creditor relations by way of replacing all balance sheet receivables or their larger part, extending repayment dates for principal or interest, decreasing interest rate or amount receivable. If, after such reschedule, the debtor’s settlement of liabilities is regular, such a loan is no longer treated as non-performing. The decision on loan rescheduling is enacted when the Bank, once having reviewed the financial standing of a customer, its program for financial consolidation and its market potential, determines that the restructuring or rescheduling of the liabilities could assist the customer in overcoming the current difficulties in operations and resume timely discharge of its financial liabilities through future business operation and financial results. In the course of 2014 the Bank restructured/rescheduled loans in the aggregate amount of EUR 31,588 thousand. 48.4.2.4.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.5. Operational Risk Operational risk is the risk from potential adverse effects on the Bank’s financial result and equity due to (intentional or accidental) omissions or errors in the work of employees, inadequate internal procedures and processes, inadequate information and other systems in the Bank, as well as due to unforeseen external events. Operational risk also includes legal risk. The process of operational risk management in the Bank is on the following 4 pillars: a) b) c) d) self-assessment, collection of information on the operational risk events, scenario analysis, and key risk indicators and is comprised of the following stages: a. b. c. d. risk identification, risk assessment and measuring, risk monitoring/control, and risk mitigation. The main objective of operational risk management in the Bank is to ensure that the level of operational risk exposure complies with the Bank's risk management strategy and policies, i.e., minimizing losses from operational risks taking into account the costs and expenses of such minimizing. The Bank analyzes its exposure to operational risks based on data collected in the database as well as data collected in the self-assessment process, data obtained through stress testing and key risk indicator monitoring. Mitigating risks is a planned approach aiming to alleviate influences of exposures to operational risks which mainly relates to the instruments in the system of risk control. The Bank’s experience in monitoring operational risk exposure according to the number of events according to their causes and lines of business, confirms that the greatest frequency of risk-weighted events is registered in the retail sector characterized by causes such as external factor, human factor, system and process factors. According to the number of events according to their causes and lines of business, the main frequency of risk-weighted events is registered in the retail sector (99.38% of events). When it comes to the amount of loss contingent on the Bank’s exposure to operational risks, the statistical records from internal database show that these risks have highest records in retail operations, and the most frequent cause of loss is external factor (93.81% of all losses or 30.57% of events). The Bank applies the basic indicator approach for the calculation of capital expenses for operational risks. The capital requirement for operational risk for 2014 totals RSD 452,680 thousand. Self-Assessment Self-assessment of operational risk is performed at least annually. It entails a procedure wherein all the Bank's organizational units consider the operational risk chart and assess to what extent they are exposed to certain types of operational risks. Self-assessment allows the owners of processes to identify and evaluate risks affecting the processes under their control in a timely manner. Self-assessment is based on the process approach. Process owners are responsible for coordinating identification, assessment, monitoring and managing all risks arising from the nature of the processes within their remit. Furthermore, process owns perform self-assessment based on the methodology prescribed and supported by the Operational and Other Risk Management Unit. Self-assessment procedure is initiated by the Operational and Other Risk Management Unit at least annually. 64 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.5. Operational Risk (Continued) Self-Assessment (Continued) Measuring operational risk through self-assessment entails evaluation of the operational risk exposure by the Bank's organizational units according to the chart of identified operational risks, i.e. a list of risks created by the Operational and Other Risk Management Unit based on the previous annual period experience. Self-assessment evaluates possibility, spread and frequency of events that could cause losses based on operational risks in the forthcoming annual period. The Operational and Other Risk Management Unit reports on the self-assessment results within its regular annual unit report. Scenario Analysis (Stress Test) Stress test is performed annually to assess exposure to operational risks given the possibility and frequency of their occurrence as well as their potential impact on the Bank in instances of low probability for a risk event occurrence yet possible significant losses incurrence on the part of the Bank. Scenarios are defined at the OTP Group level, adopted by the Operational Risk Management Committee and executed by the owners of processes and/or personnel appointed responsible for stress testing. The purpose of scenario analysis is to provide expert estimates with regard to operational risk events with low frequency and significant financial impact that may occur in the future. Scenario analysis was performed for the year 2014 including the following scenario groups: • • • • • unauthorized activities in trading; extreme external events; attack on the IT system; unexpected problems in processes; and problems related to collateral management. Business Continuity Plan (BCP) In order to ensure the continuity of operation, the Bank's Board of Directors has adopted the Business Continuity Plan as well as the Disaster Recovery Plan, which allow unhindered and continuous functioning of all significant systems and processes and restricting losses in emergencies. The Bank manages continuity of business operations based on the impact analysis and risk assessment. Its purpose is to minimize operational, financial, legal, reputational and other material consequences brought about by interruption of operations as well as to ensure functioning of the critical business functions and/or their restoration to use within predefined timelines and enable operations for at least a month afterwards. BCP allows for normal course of operations to be established in a reasonable time frame in the instances of significant unanticipated partial or full stoppage in business operations. In 2014 the Bank adopted enhanced and more comprehensive BCP, Rulebook and action plans for all identified critical processes. Externalization Risk The Bank manages externalization risk via assessments and established control mechanisms before executing contracts with third parties or suppliers of services and undertakes the necessary protective measures against the adverse effects of externalization risk on its operation and reputation. The Bank has defined the process of managing externalization risk in more detail in its Externalization Risk Management Policy and Procedure. 65 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.5. Operational Risk (Continued) New Product Introduction Risk The Bank actively manages new product introduction inasmuch as its overall risk management system includes and actively manages all risks arising from the new product introduction in such a manner that all relevant organizational units of the Bank must be informed of and familiar with the new product introduction and must provide their professional opinions within their respective competences related to the new product/service profile, its impact on the Bank's risk profile and impact on the risk management system. A new product is any product/service that requires systemic changes in the Bank's IT system and Bank's risk profile and calls for new professional knowledge and skills of the Bank's employees. Information System Risk The Bank has developed a process of information system risk management which includes risk identification measurement, assessment, mitigation, monitoring and control. The Bank manages the information system risk in such a manner that it allows for unhindered managing safety of this system, its functionality and continuity of the Bank's operations. Among other matters, the bank pays special attention to the following IT risk areas: IT management, IT strategy, application, infrastructure, information, safety, support, suppliers, development, SLA and business connecting. Due to its significance, the Bank has developed and performs methods of information system risk measurement. 47.6. Country Risk Country risk relates to the country of origin of the Bank’s counterparty i.e. it represents the possibility of negative effects on the Bank’s financial result and equity due to inability to collect receivables from abroad caused by political, economic and social conditions in the borrower’s country of origin. Country risk management within the Bank is based on the general risk management principles. In order to identify, measure, assess and monitor country risk exposure, the Bank uses methodology and experiences of the OTP Group, its own assessments, analyses and the best banking practices that are not contrary to the provisions of the laws and NBS regulations governing country risk. Basis of measurement, assessment and analysis of the county risk imply the control of the extent to which the risk limit for certain countries is used. Country limits are monitored on daily, monthly, quarterly and annual bases by the Operational and Other Risk Management Unit. Risk of Trading with Counterparties The Bank operates in the interbank market with the aim to manage available funds as efficiently as possible in order to provide profitability and diversification of assets. Monitoring treasury operations in the monetary and capital market and their control by means of limits set comprise a set of activities undertaken upon assumption of risk toward counterparty in the monetary and capital market. Activities whereby the bank continuously monitors risks assumed involve determining limits toward the counterparty, monitoring and limit control, reporting on the limit extent used, etc. The main objective of monitoring operations in the monetary and capital market and limit control is preventive risk management, i.e. minimization of risks to counterparty which may have adverse effects on the Bank’s own operating result. Trading limits are monitored on daily, monthly, quarterly and annual bases by the Operational and Other Risk Management Unit. 66 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.7. Investment Risk The Bank's investment risks encompass risks associated with investing in other legal entities and in fixed assets. In accordance with the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia, the Risk Management Division regularly monitors the levels of permanent investments and notifies the Bank's Executive Board thereof. In this manner it is ensured that the Bank's investment in a single non-financial sector entity shall not exceed 10% of the Bank's capital and that the sum of the Bank's investments non-financial sector entities and the Bank's fixed assets shall not exceed 60% of the Bank's capital. 48.8. Concentration Risk In accordance with the Bank's adopted procedures, the Risk Management Division monitors the limits, i.e. concentration of investments per certain legal entities or group of related parties and entities related to the Bank and ensures that such exposures are maintained within the limits defined by the National Bank of Serbia. The Bank’s investment risks include the risk of investing in other legal entities and the risk of investing in fixed assets. In accordance with the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia, the Risk Management Department regularly monitors the amounts of permanent investments and notifies thereof the Bank’s Executive Board. In this manner it is ensured that the Bank’s investments in a single non-financial sector entity do not exceed 10% of the Bank’s equity and that the sum of the Bank’s investments in non-financial sector entities and its capital expenditures do not exceed 60% of the Bank’s equity. 48.9.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued) 48.9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) Methods, Assumptions and Valuation Techniques Used in Determining Fair Value Given the fact that the market of the Republic of Serbia is underdeveloped, in assessing the fair value of the financial instruments the Bank used market and income approaches, i.e. information on similar financial instruments available on the market, such as the effective interest rate, maturity and sector classification. Securities available for sale are measured at fair value based on the available market information, i.e. by using the quoted market prices as at the reporting date. If such information is unavailable, other valuation techniques are used. As of December 31, 2014 the Bank assessed the fair value of securities available for sale (Note 19.1.). For liquid short-term financial assets and liabilities it is assumed that their carrying values approximate their fair values. This same assumption is applied to demand deposits, savings accounts and financial assets and liabilities with market-adjusted prices (repricing), which are products with variable interest rates. Fair value of long-term financial assets and liabilities with fixed interest rates that are measured at amortized cost is estimated by comparing market interest rates upon initial recognition to the current market interest rates applied to the similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value of deposits is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates prevailing on the monetary market for contracts with similar characteristics. The Bank used official and easily verifiable information as input for fair value measurement of those assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value yet whose fair value is disclosed where the determined fair values differ from the carrying values. The Bank obtained the input, i.e. information on the prevailing interest rates used in contracts with similar characteristics from the official website of the National Bank of Serbia, using the following: - - interest rates of banks for loans approved to retail customers and non-financial sector customers per type, maturity and purpose – newly approved loans as of December 31, 2014 – as input for estimating fair values of loans and receivables from customers (the Bank classified this input in Level 2); interest rates of banks for deposits received from retail customers and non-financial sector customers per maturity – balances per existing deposits as of December 31, 2014 – as input for estimating fair values of deposits and other liabilities to customers (the Bank classified this input in Level 2). In both instances where the Bank determined differences between the fair values and carrying values, the market approach was applied. The Bank uses the following hierarchy upon determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (unadjusted); Level 2: inputs observable for a given asset or liability either directly or indirectly that make use of information on the similar financial instruments present in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are inactive or other market information from which the value of financial instrument can be derived (e.g. interest rates and yield curves observable in the usual quoted intervals); and Level 3: unobservable inputs for financial assets and liabilities used unless relevant observable inputs are available; the Bank uses mark-to-model approach which deploys other than market information derived based on a theoretical model adequate for determining the value of financial instruments. In assessing the fair value of its financial instruments, the Bank used Level 2 inputs. 68 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP BANKA SRBIJA A.D., NOVI SAD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2014 All amounts expressed in thousands of RSD, unless otherwise stated. 48.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD On February 24, 2015 the NBS Executive Board adopted Decision on Measures for Preservation of Financial System Stability in relation to loans indexed to foreign currency (the “Decision”). The Decision identifies measures and activities that banks are obligated to apply to housing loans indexed to CHF and other loans indexed to foreign currency. According to the Decision, banks are obligated to determine the amount of funds collected based on increase in indefinable elements of variable interest rate in the period starting from unilateral interest rate increase to the beginning of applying of Law on Protection of Financial Services Users, and calculate this amount determined as early loan payment, as well to inform the borrowers of the modified loan repayment schedule. Moreover, banks are obligated to offer the users of housing loans indexed to CHF 4 prescribed models of annex to the loan agreement under which loan repayment terms will be changed. The Bank will act in the manner and within deadlines stipulated by the aforecited Decision. 71 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language OTP banka Srbija a.d.

OTP Bank Plc. (Parent company) History The predecessor of OTP Bank, called the National Savings Bank (OTP Bank) was established in 1949 as a nationwide, state-owned banking entity providing retail deposits and loans. In the ensuing years, its activities and the scope of its authority gradually widened. First, it was authorized to enter into real estate transactions. Later, its role was extended to provide domestic foreign currency accounts and foreign exchange services; there was a subsequent diversification into providing banking services for Hungarian municipalities. Since 1989, the bank has operated as a multi-functional commercial bank. In addition to continuing its previous retail and municipal activities, the bank has been authorized to solicit corporate loan accounts and deposits, and to provide commercial loans and banking services for correspondent banking and export-import transactions. In 1990, the National Savings Bank became a public company with a share capital of HUF 23 billion. Its name was changed to the National Savings and Commercial Bank. Subsequently, non-banking activities were separated from the bank, along with their supporting organizational units. OTP Bank's privatization began in 1995. As a result of 3 public offers along with the introduction of the bank's shares into the Budapest Stock Exchange the state's ownership in the bank decreased to a single voting preference (golden) share. Currently the bank is characterized by dispersed ownership of mostly private and institutional (financial) investors. After the realization of its own privatization process, OTP Bank started its international expansion targeting countries in CEE region, which offer great economic growth potentials similar to that of its domestic (Hungarian) market. OTP Bank has completed several successful acquisitions in the past years, becoming a key player in the region. Besides Hungary, OTP Group currently operates in 8 countries of the region via its subsidiaries: in Bulgaria (DSK Bank), in Croatia (OTP banka Hrvatska), in Romania (OTP Bank Romania), in Serbia (OTP banka Srbija), in Slovakia (OTP Banka Slovensko), in the Ukraine (CJSC OTP Bank), in Montenegro (Crnogorska komercijalna banka) and in Russia (OAO OTP Bank). 2008 was milestone in OTP Bank history since it was the first time to sell one of its subsidiaries. The French Groupama S.A. acquired its insurance business line, and part of the transaction they resolved to collaborate in strategic points and cross-sell their financial and insurance products. Groupama S.A. has acquired 8% of shares of OTP Group. 2 OTP banka Srbija a.d. Novi Sad OTP Group provides high quality financial solutions to meet the needs of nearly 11,9 million customers through almost 1500 branches and electronic channels. Strategy OTP Group’s business strategy remains focused on the maximization of shareholder value through the development of the most efficient, retail-focused universal bank in CEE. The objective of the Group is to achieve an outstanding financial performance in European terms. The OTP Group endeavors to offer customized services, constantly being improved to meet the needs of its customers, through the further strengthening of its innovative skills. In order to create value it is essential to rationalize operational processes and to improve operational and cost efficiency of the Group's members. Synergy effects within the subsidiaries can be achieved by harmonized developments and integration of several activities within the Hungarian and the international group. Highly qualified human resource is indispensable to achieve OTP Bank's and the Group's objectives. Therefore the creation and sustainment of a well-prepared sales-oriented and loyal administrative workforce is of outstanding importance in the Bank's strategy just as the creation of personalized careers in order to keep talented professionals. 3. The macroeconomic and financial environment in 2014 During 2014 the Serbian economy entered into the third recession from the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. The domestic demand and investments carried on with a tendency of contraction recorded in 2013, along with certain deterioration in foreign trade trends in the second half of the year. Namely, after the recovery in 2013 the economic activities in the countries of the Eurozone, being Serbia's major trade partners, slowed down almost to stagnation as a result of political uncertainties. Apart from the above, the catastrophic May Floods influenced the dramatic drop of domestic energy production and the production of energy generating products, thus additionally jeopardizing the domestic export potential in 2014 and in the current year. Thus a GDP of 2% was achieved in 2014. The prospects for recovery of domestic economic activities in the coming year seem to be relatively low. Namely, the uncertainties on international markets, fueled by current political tensions, could influence a continuing trend of low export demand in the Eurozone and Russia. A potential positive influence to European business activities and the demand for domestic goods could come from a program of quantitative incentives by the ECB with the aim to inject around EUR 1,100 billion into the economy by the end of 2016. However, the tendency of decline in the domestic demand could persist due to the fact that in the last months of 2014 the Government set off the implementation of certain fiscal consolidation measures. Therefore, we expect by all odds a continuing trend of recession and economic contraction of around -0.5% in 2015. The described negative trends in trading led to the recurring tendency of current account deficits. Thus, by means of a narrowing of above 40% in 2013 and the first 11 months of 2014 this deficit showed a year-on-year growth from almost 10% (reaching EUR 1.9 billion, i.e. 6% of the GDP). On the other hand, net capital inflows were insufficient to cover the current account deficit, primarily due to strong net outflows based on the deleveraging process of banks and the NBS, substantially decreased net inflows of portfolio investments, as well as scarce net inflows from direct investments. 3 OTP banka Srbija a.d. Novi Sad The described external imbalance during the previous and at the beginning of the current year contributed by all means to the devaluation of the Dinar at around 6.5% in the above period. Owing to the fact that the weak fundaments of the domestic economy are going to persist in the ensuing period, it is possible that the Dinar shall continue to devaluate in the medium-term. However, the inflationary pressures due to the depreciation of the Dinar were neutralized in 2014 by the very low domestic demand, a drop in the world raw material prices and the effects of a solid agricultural season in 2013 and 2014. Thus the annual inflation rate was below the lower band of the NBS target corridor (4+1.5%), while the year was ended at only 1.7%. Despite the fact that the low base effect is going to be more expressed in 2015, while the depreciation could continue with possible price increases, the above mentioned inflationary pressures shall to a large extent be mitigated by low domestic demand and prospectively stable low world raw material prices. Thusly the inflation could potentially return to the targeted corridor bands during the first half of the year and remain at that level during the remainder of 2015. Despite the fact that inflation was at a low level, external pressures and the gradual depreciation of the Dinar decreased the possibility of a monetary easing by the NBS. Thus, despite of the almost deflationary circumstances, the central bank lowered the base rate for 1.5% total to a level of 8% during 2014. In the coming year there will be room for the gradual easing of monetary restrictiveness but the NBS will most likely maintain a reserved approach, taking into account the uncertainties regarding potential interest rate increases in the US, as well as the scope and mechanisms of ECB quantitative incentives. According to the Fiscal Council, the fiscal deficit most probably reached during the previous year a level of around RSD 180-200 billion (around 5% of the GDP), amounting to even RSD 250-270 billion (around 7% of the GDP) with the inclusion of non-budget transactions. The potential growth of budget inflows shall in 2015 be relatively limited, taking into account the likely continuation of the economic contraction spurred by the declining domestic demand. In addition, despite the fact that certain savings are planned in the current year, primarily based on the reduction of certain pension categories and public sector salaries, due to the circumstance that certain non-budget expenses are to be recorded from 2015, this year's deficit plan of around RSD 191 billion seems somewhat narrow. Bearing in mind the depicted deficit level, as well as the maturity of earlier debt issues, the state's total financing needs shall in 2015 reach the level of around EUR 5.7 billion. According to the Law on the 2015 Budget, the largest portion from this will be financed by debt issues on the domestic market (around EUR 3.6 billion), on the foreign market (around EUR 1.5 billion) and through bilateral agreements with foreign governments and institutions (around EUR 0.6 billion). Due to the fact that the state still plans to cover its needs through borrowing, it is likely that the trend of public debt growth is going to continue. Thus, having in mind the public debt growth from around EUR 2.2 billion to EUR 22.3 billion (around 67% of the GDP) in the first 11 months of 2014, a growth of around 74-75% of the GDP is possible until the end of next year. In accordance with the mentioned national and global risk aversion, as well as the Dinar's depreciation, the interest of investors in the domestic debt market has somewhat dropped in the last few months in comparison with 2014. Despite of the above, the stock of treasury bills and bonds is on a constant increase, so that in 2014 a growth of around EUR 1.5 billion was recorded, while the returns remained relatively stable. The Banking Sector Serbia is a bank-centered financial market, meaning that the analysis of concentration and competition is of utter importance. The banking market is currently weakly to moderately concentrated or mildly oligopolistic. We can expect a consolidation of the banking market in the future in terms of reducing the number of banks and strengthening the market power of the largest banks. Possible channels of consolidation are the sale of the remaining state owned banking package, takeovers between banks and the disappearance of some banks as a result of competitive selection. According to the latest available data, at the end of the third quarter in 2014 the Serbian banking sector comprised 29 banks employing 25,414 people. The assets and capital of the banking sector amounted to RSD 2,956 billion and RSD 616 billion, respectively. 21 of the banks are in foreign, while 8 in domestic ownership, six of which are state-owned (the state either being a majority shareholder or having controlling interest), while two are owned by private individuals. 4 OTP banka Srbija a.d. Novi Sad Banks in foreign ownership still have a dominant share in the banking sector of around 75% of the assets and capital. The largest share have the banks from Italy (with a small share drop in the assets and a slight increase in the banking sector capital), followed by banks from Austria and Greece. Banks in domestic ownership (primarily due to the contribution of state-owned banks) have a somewhat larger share in the organizational network and the number of employees in the banking sector compared with their share in the banking sector's assets and capital. The entire banking network consists of 1,839 business units, branches, outlets and counters, which is 150 less compared to the end of 2013.

Graph: Asset structure of the Serbian banking sector. Source: NBS Serbian banks are confronted with the increase of non-performing loans from 21.4% at the end of 2013 to 23% at the end of the third quarter in 2014. Such an increase was primarily sparked by the growth of non-performing loans given to corporate clients, making 60% of all non-performing loans. Sectors with the largest absolute amounts of non-performing loans are the processing industry, trade and the construction industry. The banking sector is adequately capitalized as regards the fulfillment of regulatory requirements pertaining to capital adequacy indicators. At the end of the second quarter of 2014 the banking sector capital adequacy ratio was at 19.4% in Serbia, being far above the regulatory minimum, both according to domestic legislation (12%) and according to the Basel Accords (8%). 5 OTP banka Srbija a.d. Novi Sad Graph: Capital adequacy indicators of the Serbian banking sector Source: NBS The profit before taxation of the banking sector in the first six months of 2014 amounted to RSD 20,95 billion, and is higher than the level of last year's same period. The increase in net credit losses in the third quarter of 2014 compared with last year's same quarter in the amount of RSD 2.0 billion contributed substantially to the lower profit of the Serbian banking sector in the given period.

Retail Banking As in the previous years, the market share in retail banking continued with the increasing trend. The focus to meet our customer's needs, the improvement of customer relationships and the development of long-term relationships remain our main directions of development. The improvement of operational efficiency to the satisfaction of our clients was the Business Division's main focus in 2014. In spite of a decreasing credit demand on the market, by its diverse offer OTP Bank managed to maintain an increasing trend in its market share in retail credit products. The sale of cash credits and the introduction of new products supported by appropriate media campaigns contributed substantially to the market share increase of this sector in the Bank's overall results. From September 2014 OTP Bank was one of the 6 banks that included the contactless MasterCard PayPass card linked to the customer's current account in their offer. The introduction of new products, the maturity prolongation of lending categories, monitoring of market trends and the recognition of the role that small enterprises and entrepreneurs have for the development of the domestic economic development, had certain positive results related to this market segment. By participating in the program of the Serbian Development Fund, OTP Bank additionally increased sales in this segment by the state aided lending for current assets. Taking into account the market specificities, OTP Bank paid special attention to the agricultural sector in 2014. By a combination of credit and deposit products, as well as by adjusting its offer to the market demands the Bank managed to attract a large number of new customers in 2014. During 2014 OTP banka Srbija remained committed to the strategy of collecting deposits, and recorded a substantial increase thanks to the policy of moderate deposit interest rates, which thus enabled interest rates on loans to remain at competitive level. In 2014 OTP Bank's focus in the area of network development was on the search for appropriate locations in key markets, opening new branch offices and the relocation of existing ones. The Bank ended 2014 with a business network of 48 branches. 2. Corporate Banking The previous year may be described as specific, followed by a decrease in lending activities on the domestic market, a nominal drop in corporate lending with further increase of uncollectible receivables, as well as the growing problem of liquidity in the real sector. In spite of the unfavorable macroeconomic environment, business transactions with corporate clients continued with the development of proactive and planned sales approach which is reflected in structured and systematic sales strategy. Thanks to the intensive commercial activities we recorded a substantial growth in the corporate banking portfolio (RSD 2,809 million) compared with the previous year. Parallel to this active sales approach, additional measures in the area of lending process improvement were among our main focus points in 2014. Several projects were launched for the purpose of promoting organizational structure efficiency, further automation of all processes in order to substantially speed up the lending process and shorten the client request response time, as well as the improvement of cross-selling. The implemented innovations resulted in a more efficient organization in the corporate banking sector simultaneously improving service quality and speed. The exceeded business plans in the area of documentary operations in 2014 demonstrate that the Bank successfully met its clients' needs offering a wide scope of lending and other products and services endeavoring to continuously provide its clients with the necessary support for achieving their business goals and activities. The improvement of functionality in the area of foreign currency purchases is reflected in the possibility for legal entities that are not the Bank's clients to also use these services, which offers them the possibility to pay their foreign obligations from accounts opened with other domestic banks. This innovation is going to assure the Bank's competitiveness in the ensuing period. 7 OTP banka Srbija a.d. Novi Sad The main indicator of our clients' trust and loyalty is the increase in deposits of 219% in 2014, as well as a growth in the area of domestic payment operations. The growing trend in domestic payment operations in 2014 was followed by a substantial increase in lending activities in comparison with the previous year. 2014 was characterized by the development of operating activities of the Treasury Directorate and the fulfillment of all operative predispositions necessary for the beginning of active trade. The developed product scope and services pertaining to the Treasury Directorate's activities are aimed at extending the cooperation with corporate clients and improving the profitability of this sector. 5.

A detailed overview and analysis of credit risk management is given in the Notes to the Financial Statements 2014. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is a possibility of occurrence of negative effects to financial result and bank capital due to the inability of the Bank to meet its financial obligations. Liquidity risk The Bank continuously monitors liquidity risk exposure and its compliance with established limits. During 2013 the Bank maintained liquidity level within prescribed limits (regular and narrow liquidity ratio). The Bank maintains portfolio comprised of highly liquid securities and diversified assets that can be easily converted into cash in case of unpredictable and negative oscillations within the Bank’s cash flows (securities issued by National Bank of Serbia or Republic of Serbia). Furthermore, the Bank maintains the required level of dinar and foreign currency mandatory reserve, in compliance with requirements of the National Bank of Serbia. The Bank is able to rely on liquid funds of the parent bank, thus in case of liquidity deterioration due to disturbances on financial market to bridge it through indebtedness at the parent bank. Adopted policies and procedures ensure an adequate asset management and planning of adequate liquidity level. Beside liquidity ratio prescribed by NBS, Bank uses the following methods for measuring liquidity risk exposure: 9 OTP banka Srbija a.d. Novi Sad - - Primary and operative liquidity level (liquid assets up to one month and three months are compared to target values that include liabilities which are due in the same period, business needs, as well as deposit withdrawal shock, i.e. 99th percentile of three month deposit changes); Regular stress testing; Testing of Contingency Funding Plan For the purpose of liquidity risk measurement and monitoring, the Bank performs measurement and monitoring of net cash flows by analyzing assets and liabilities based on period remaining until maturity, by measuring and comparing cash inflows and outflows, i.e. GAP analysis. The Bank performs a liquidity projection on a daily basis taking into account all available information on the expected inflows and outflows gathered from the Business Division and other Bank departments, the activities of which have an influence to this type of risk. Foreign Exchange Risk Foreign exchange risk is the risk from negative effects on the financial result and capital of the Bank due to changes of exchange rates. Foreign Exchange Risk Management policy of OTP Bank, including the one hand, compliance with all legal requirements for taking a risk of exposure to possible loss of the Bank's profitability will not deteriorate or affect its business and on the other hand the realization of profit on the basis of the favorable exchange rate movements. Acceptable exposure to currency risk is defined by setting system of limits. Foreign exchange risk is the main indicator of the state and structure of foreign currency receivables and liabilities in relation to capital. The Bank manages foreign exchange risk efficiently confirmed by average FX Risk Ratio of 0.86% in 2013 and it is far below allowed maximum 20% prescribed by National Bank of Serbia. A detailed overview and analysis of foreign exchange risk management is given in the Notes to the Financial Statements 2014. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is a risk of possible adverse effects on the financial result and capital of the Bank arising from positions in the banking book due to changes in interest. Interest rate risk exposure depends on the ratio between interest bearing assets and liabilities. Bank is exposed to interest rate risk in cases of mismatch between new establishment of passive interest rates or maturity of the bank’s obligations and new establishment of active interest rates or maturity of the bank’s receivables. In order to measure interest rate risk exposure, Bank uses Gap analysis. Size of gap for a certain time interval indicates repricing risk exposure. Interest rate risk management implies activities related to identification, measurement and assessment of interest rate risk toward which the Bank is exposed during its business operations. For the measurement of the exposure to interest rate risk, the Bank uses methods prescribed by NBS in compliance with provisions of Basel II. Differences (GAP) between interest-bearing assets and liabilities are presented according to time intervals and cumulatively (cumulative GAP). In case when GAP is positive, interest-bearing assets (IA) exceed interest-bearing liabilities (IL) in a given interval. Assets are more sensitive to interest rate change, i.e. to decrease of interest rate. This implies that the bank’s net interest income would decrease as a result of interest rate decrease and vice versus, net interest income would increase due to increase of interest rates. In case of negative GAP, interestbearing assets are lower than interest-bearing liabilities in given time interval. Thus, liabilities are more sensitive to changes of interest rate, i.e. to interest rate increase. Interest rate increase would in such case cause decrease of net interest income, while decrease of interest rates would result in increase of net interest income. Cumulative GAP indicates direction of exposure movement, exposure range, where the bank expects additional income – from increase or decrease of interest rates. A detailed overview and analysis of interest rate risk management is given in the Notes to the Financial Statements 2014. 6. The Human Resources Directorate OTP banka Srbija a.d.
