INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE OWNERS OF PODGORICKA BANKA SOCIETE GENERALE GROUP A.D. PODGORICA
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Podgoricka banka Societe Generale Group a.d.
Podgorica (hereinafter: the Bank), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2010, and the
income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing and regulations of Central Bank of Montenegro
governing financial reporting of banks, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank as at
31 December 2010, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing and regulations of Central Bank of Montenegro
governing financial reporting of banks.
Other matter
The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended 31 December 2009 were audited by another
auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 February 2010.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing and regulations of Central Bank of Montenegro
governing financial reporting of banks, the Bank’s management has prepared analyses to financial
statements which are presented on pages 36 to 47. Information presented in analyses to the financial
statements does not form an integral part of the financial statements of the Bank. This information is the
responsibility of the Bank’s management. This information has been properly derived from the primary
financial statements which were prepared in accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing and
regulations of Central Bank of Montenegro governing financial reporting of banks as presented on pages 36 and are based on underlying accounting records of the Bank.
PODGORIČKA BANKA SOCIETE GENERALE GROUP A.D., PODGORICA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
FOUNDATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Podgorička banka A.D., Podgorica was established as a spin-off of Montenegrobanka D.D., Podgorica
in the course of 1992.
On November 21, 2001, the Central Bank of Montenegro issued an approval enabling the Bank to
continue its operations pursuant to Decision 27.
Following the aforementioned privatization process that took place in 2005, the majority interest in
the Bank is held by Societe Generale, Paris, France. On September 26, 2006, the Bank was inscribed
in the Central Register of the Commercial Court in Podgorica under the registration number 40000880/019, operating the activities as Podgorička banka Societe Generale Group A.D.,
Podgorica.
The Bank is licensed to perform credit, depositary and guarantee operations, as well as foreign
payments transactions, depo transaction, to provide safekeeping services, issuance, processing and
recording of payment instruments (including credit cards, traveler’s and bank cheques).
The Bank is seated in Podgorica, at the street address Novaka Miloševa number 8a.
As of December 31, 2010, the Bank was comprised of a Central Office located in Podgorica and 19
branch offices located throughout the territory of Montenegro.
As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had 255 employees (December 31, 2009: 275 employees).
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.1.
Basis of preparation and presentation of the financial statements
The Bank maintains its accounting records and prepares its statutory financial statements in
conformity with the Accounting and Auditing Law of Montenegro (Official Gazette of Montenegro,
no. 69/2005 and no. 80/2008) and specifically, in accordance with the relevant Decision pertaining
to the application of International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) in Montenegro (Official Gazette of
Montenegro, no. 69/2002).
The financial statements are presented in the format required under Articles 17 and 18 of the
Accounting and Auditing Law of Montenegro and European Union Directive numbered 86/635/EEC
dated December 8, 1986, which relates to the annual reports of banks and other financial
institutions. Such statements represent the complete set of financial statements as defined under
the law, which differ from those defined under the provisions of IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial
Statements”, and differ in some respects, from the presentation of certain amounts as required
under the aforementioned standard.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements for
the period ended December 31, 2010 differ from the IFRS requirements primarly in the allowances
for the impairment of financial instruments as required by IAS 39 – “Financial instruments:
Recognition and measurement” and disclosures of financial instruments as required by IFRS 7 –
“Financial instruments: Disclosures“. The impairment of financial instruments was estimated in
accordance with the applicable Regulations of the Central Bank of Montenegro (Note 3.6). Such a
policy might result in significant departures from the amounts which would be determined, had the
allowances for the impairment of financial instruments been estimated based on discounted
expected future cash flows by applying the original effective interest rate, as required by IAS 39,
“Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
2.1.
Basis of preparation and presentation of the financial statements (Continued)
Due to the potentially significant effects of the above-described matters, the accompanying
financial statements cannot be described as having been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
In the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Bank has adhered to the
accounting policies described in Note 3, which are in conformity with the accounting, banking and
tax regulations prevailing in Montenegro.
The official currency in Montenegro and the Bank’s functional currency is Euro (EUR).
2.2.
Use of Estimates
The presentation of financial statements requires the Bank’s management to make best estimates
and reasonable assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities’ amounts, as well as the disclosure
of contingent liabilities and receivables as of the date of the preparation of the financial statements,
and the income and expenses arising during the accounting period. These estimations and
assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements
preparation, mostly referring to estimations of provisions of loans and interests, provisions of
deposits held in other banks, permanent investments and off-balance-sheet events. However, the
Bank’s future operating results may vary from the estimated values.
3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1.
Income and Expense Recognition
Interest income and expense are recognized in the income statement for all instruments measured
at amortized value using the effective interest method.
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset
or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant
period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or
receipts over the expected life of a financial instrument or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to
the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective
interest rate, the Bank estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial
instrument (i.e. prepaid payment options) but does not consider future credit losses. The
calculations include all fees and commissions paid or received between parties to the contract that
are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or
discounts.
Interest income and interest expense, including penalty interest and operating income and expenses
related to interest-bearing assets and liabilities are accounted for on an accrual basis.
Fees for banking services and fee and commission expenses are recorded when due, i.e., when
realized.
Income and expenses arising from loan and guarantee origination are also recorded when realized,
i.e. when due.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
3.2.
Foreign Exchange Translation
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the official exchange
rates prevailing on the Interbank Market effective at the date of each transaction.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros by applying the
official average exchange rates, as determined on the Interbank Market, prevailing at the balance
sheet date.
Net foreign exchange gains or losses arising upon the translation of transactions, and the assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are credited or charged to the income statement.
Commitments and contingent liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros
by applying the official exchange rates prevailing on the Interbank Market, at the balance sheet
date.
3.3.
Leasing
The leases entered into by the Bank are operating leases. The payments made under operating
leases are charged to operating expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the
period of the lease period.
3.4.
Taxes and Contributions
Income Taxes
Current Income Taxes
Income taxes are calculated and paid in conformity with the income tax regulations defined under
the Montenegrin Income Tax Law, Article 28 (Official Gazette of Montenegro, no. 80/2004 and no.
40/2008) as per the effective proportional tax rate of 9% on taxable income.
A taxpaying entity’s taxable income is determined based on the income stated in its statutory
statements of income following certain adjustments to its income and expenses performed in
accordance with the Montenegrin Income Tax Law (Articles 8 and 9, regarding the adjustment of
income and Articles 10 to 20 pertaining to the adjustment of expenses).
Capital losses may be set off against capital gains earned in the same year. In case there are
outstanding capital losses even after the set-off of capital losses against capital gains earned in the
same year, these outstanding losses are available for carryforward in the ensuing 5 years.
The Montenegrin tax regulations do not envisage any tax losses of the current period to be used to
recover taxes paid within a specific carryback period. However, any current year losses reported in
the annual corporate income tax returns may be carried forward and used to reduce or eliminate
taxes to be paid in future accounting periods, but only for an ensuing period of a maximum of five
years.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income tax is determined using the balance sheet liability method, for the temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying values in the
stand alone financial statements. The currently-enacted tax rates at the balance sheet date are
used to determine the deferred income tax amount. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all
taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the deductible temporary
differences, and the tax effects of income tax losses and credits available for carry forward, to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which deferred tax
assets may be utilized.

Loans approved by the Bank are recorded in the books of account when funds are transferred to the
loan beneficiaries account.
Loans are stated in the balance sheet in the amount of placement approved, as decreased by the
principal repaid and allowance for impairment which is based on the assessment of risk inherent in
certain placements and risks which have been historically identified in the credit portfolio. The
Bank’s management applies the methodology prescribed by the Central Bank of Montenegro in its
evaluation of the risks (Note 3.7).
3.7.
Allowances for Impairment and Provisions for Potential Losses
The Decision issued by the Central Bank of Montenegro regarding minimal standards for
management of credit risks in banks („Official Gazette of Montenegro, no. 60/2008 i 41/2009) i.e.
the Decision regarding temporary measures for management of credit risks in banks („Official
Gazette of Montenegro, no. 64/2009, 87/2009 and 66/2010) sets forth the following: elements of
credit risk management, minimum criteria and manner of classifying assets and balance sheet items
which render the Bank susceptible to credit risk, manner of calculating and suspending uncollected
interest, manner of determining the minimum provisions for potential losses contingent on the
Bank's exposure to credit risk. The Bank's risk-weighted assets, within the meaning of this Decision,
are comprised of loans, interest, fees and commissions, lease receivables, deposits with banks,
advances and all other items included in the balance sheet exposing the Bank to default risk, as well
as guarantees issued, other sureties, effectuated letters of credit and approved, but undrawn loan
facilities, as well as all other off-balance sheet items being the Bank's contingent liabilities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
3.7.
Allowances for Impairment and Provisions for Potential Losses (continued)
Pursuant to the aforementioned Decision, loans and other risk-weighted assets are classified into
the following categories:
A category (“Pass”) – including assets assessed as collectible in full pursuant to the
agreement;
B category (“Special Mention”) – with B subcategorie including items for which there is low
probability of loss, but which, still the same, require special attention, as the potential risk,
if not adequately monitored, could diminish their collectibility;
C category (“Substandard assets”) – with C1, C2 and C3 subcategories for which there is
high probability of loss, due to the clearly identified collectibility issues;
D category (“Doubtful assets”) – including items the collection of which is, given the
creditworthiness of loan beneficiaries, quality of collaterals, highly unlikely;
E category (“Loss”) – including the items which are uncollectible in full, or will be collectible
in an insignificant amount.
The amount of provision for potential losses has not been provided for Bank's placements classified
into category A. The estimated amount of provision for potential losses is computed by applying the
following percentages to the corresponding categories: 3% to the placements classified into
category B, from 15% to 50% to the placements classified into category C, 75% to the placements
classified into category D and 100% to the placements classified into category E.
As in accordance with the Decision issued by the Central Bank of Montenegro, the Bank is to
suspend any accrued, uncollected interest and should terminate any further accruals of interest on
its non-performing assets, unless the non-performing assets are secured by quality collateral and
are in the process of collection, to the extent that such asset recoveries are anticipated within a
reasonable period of time (generally defined as not exceeding three months). Following the
suspension of interest accruals on non-performing assets, the Bank remains under an obligation to
record the subsequent, matured interest on the same basis, on its off-balance sheet records and
upon classification, designates the accrued income into E category The Decision further prescribes
that the risk-weighted assets be classified into E category be written off from the off-balance sheet
records under the heading of “Loans written off.”
Pursuant to the Decision, provisions for potential losses contingent on assets is calculated based on
the carrying value net of any deductible items of collaterals based on:
monetary deposits and
irrevocable guarantees of the Government of Montenegro
irrevocable guarantees of the countries or central banks of the OESD member countries, the
banks with credit rating better than BBB+ pursuant to the ratings of the agency Standard &
Poor’s, i.e., any equivalent rating of other internationally acclaimed rating agencies and legal
entities whose business operations are under the control of the Central Bank of Montenegro.

Equity Investments in Legal Entities and Securities Available-for-Sale
Equity investments in legal entities are comprised of investments in CG Broker A.D., Podgorica,
which are stated in these financial statements at cost, i.e. at their nominal value.
Securities available-for-sale include securities which cannot be classified as trading financial assets
or as held to maturity and are comprised of equity investments in other legal entities.
The Bank presents securities available-for-sale at cost, except for the investments in the entity
Plantaže A.D., Podgorica. The forgoing investment in Plantaže A.D., Podgorica is stated at fair
value.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are
recognized directly in equity (provisions), until the financial asset is derecognized or impaired at
which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity should be recognized in profit
or loss. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the income statement
when the entity’s right to receive payment is established.
3.9.
Business Premises, Other Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets
Business premises, other property, equipment and intangible assets at December 31, 2010 are
stated at cost or revalued cost less accumulated depreciation and/or amortization. Cost represents
the prices billed by suppliers together with all costs incurred in bringing the respective asset to the
location and condition necessary for its intended use.
Depreciation and/or amortization are provided for on a straight-line basis to the cost of business
premises and other property, equipment and intangible assets in order to write them off over their
expected useful lives. Depreciation and/or amortization are calculated using the following
prescribed annual rates::

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
3.9.
Business Premises, Other Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets (continued)
The calculation of depreciation and/or amortization commences when an asset is placed into use.
Pursuant to the Article 13, paragraph 6 of the Income Tax Law ("Official Gazette of Montenegro"
no. 80/2004 and 40/2008 and 86/09) of buildings for tax purposes is calculated using the
proportional method or equipment and application software by applying digressive method for the
entire period, regardless the date of activation.
3.10.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets
At each balance sheet date, the Bank’s management reviews the carrying amounts of the Bank’s
tangible and intangible assets. If there is any indication that such assets have been impaired, the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying value, the
carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognized as an expense of the current period and is recorded under other
operating expenses. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the
asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable value. However, this is performed so
that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying value that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
3.11.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be
made.
3.12.
Employee Benefits
Employee Taxes and Contributions for Social Security
In accordance with the regulations prevailing in Montenegro, the Bank has an obligation to pay
contributions to various State Social Security Funds. These obligations involve the payment of
contributions on behalf of the employee, by the employer in an amount calculated by applying the
specific, legally-prescribed rates. The Bank is also legally obligated to withhold contributions from
gross salaries to employees, and on behalf of the employees, to transfer the withheld portions
directly to government funds. These contributions payable on behalf of the employee and employer
are charged to expenses in the period in which they arise.
Retirement Benefits and Other Long Term Employee Benefits
In accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Bank has an obligation to disburse an
employment retirement benefit to a retiree, in an amount equal to six average net salaries effective
in the Bank in the month prior to the employee’s retirement. In addition, employees are entitled to
receive jubilee awards at their 10th, 20th and 30th employment anniversaries with the Bank as
follows:
-
for 10 years of service – one minimal salary in the Bank,
for 20 years of service – two minimal salaries in the Bank,
for 30 years of service – three minimal salaries in the Bank.

Retirement Benefits and Other Long Term Employee Benefits (continued)
The Bank's financial statements as of December 31, 2010 include provisions calculated by an
actuary based on the estimated present value of retirement benefits and jubilee awards to
employees upon vesting in respective rights.
3.13.
Financial Liabilities – Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs. Subsequently, borrowings
are carried at their amortized value; all differences between the realized inflows (net of transaction
costs) and the amounts repaid are carried through profit and loss over the period of using the
amounts borrowed by applying the effective interest rate method.
3.14.
Fair Value
In accordance with IAS, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures and Presentation”, the fair value of
financial assets and liabilities should be disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. For
these purposes, the fair value is defined as an amount at which an asset can be exchanged, or a
liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction. The Bank
should disclose the fair value information of those components of assets and liabilities for which
published market information is readily available, and for which their fair value is materially
different from their recorded amounts.
In Montenegro, sufficient market experience, stability and liquidity do not exist for the purchase and
sale of receivables, investments and other financial assets or liabilities, for which published market
information is presently not readily available. Fair value cannot readily be determined in the absence
of active capital and financial markets, as generally required under the provisions of IFRS/IAS. In
the opinion of management, the reported carrying amounts are the most valid and useful reporting
values under the present market conditions. In the amount of the identified estimated risk that the
carrying value will not be realized, a provision is recognized based on a relevant decision of the
Bank’s management.

The Bank’s obligatory reserves at December 31, 2009 were set aside in accordance with the Central
Bank of Montenegro Regulation with respect to the “Reserve Requirements for Banks to Be Held
with the Central Bank of Montenegro” (Official Gazette of Montenegro no. 41/2010 dated June 26,
2010). Pursuant to the aforecited, the obligatory reserve is to be calculated by applying the reserve
percentages of 10%.
The obligatory reserve is to be calculated by applying the aforementioned ratios on an average
deposit from the first accounting period in June 2009. If the average amount of deposits is lower
than the average amount of deposits from the first accounting period in June 2009, the calculation
of the obligatory reserve is made by applying a rate of 10% on the average amount of total deposits.
The Bank’s obligatory reserves represent the minimum deposits set aside onto domestic accounts of
obligatory reserves and/or onto the accounts of the Central Bank of Montenegro (“CBM”) held
abroad, In accordance with the Decision, the Bank can hold up to 25% of the Bank’s obligatory
reserve requirements by restricting the treasury bills issued by the Government of Montenegro. For
the amount of 25% of the obligatory reserve requirement deposited by banks, the Central Bank pays
interest at the annual rate of 1% up to the eighth day of the month for the preceding month. The
obligatory reserve is held in EUR.

MATURITY ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Bank is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources which influence the available cash
resources held on the current accounts or from deposits. The Bank does not maintain cash
resources to meet all of these needs since historical experience demonstrates that a minimum level
of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high degree of certainty.

The Bank’s liquidity, characterized by its ability to settle its liabilities as these fall due, depends on
one hand on the balance sheet structure, and on the other hand, on the matching between cash
inflows and outflows. The structure of the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities classified according
to their relevant maturities at December 31, 2009 indicates the existence of a liquidity gap in the
period up-to-one-year. The primary reason for this gap lies with the fact that the short-term sources
of funds have maturities from one month up to one year, while loans from the Parent Bank have
been placed for longer periods of time.

INTEREST RATE RISK
The Bank is exposed to various risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing
levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. Interest rate risk requires
special treatment under the existing local circumstances of frequent interest rate movements, and
the irregular relationship between capital supply and demand. Interest rate risk is unfavourable
when there is fluctuation in the price of a loan with respect to the level of the interest rates applied
to deposits, on one side, and the potential to reduce the optimal difference between the average
interest rates on loans, and those on deposits, on the other.

LIQUIDITY OF THE BANK
Liquidity risk management is defined by the Procedure for managing liquidity risk which defines the
responsibilities of the fund departments (handling the funds and the first level of responsibility),
Financial director (the function of financial control and the second level of responsibility) and
General Executive director (the highest level of responsibility) and ALCO Committee.
Liquidity of the Bank is defined as its ability to settle its liabilities as these fall due. The Bank is
exposed to daily management of withdrawal of funds by customers, affecting the funds available
from current accounts, deposits, withdrawals of loans. The Bank does not have a need to maintain
the level of funds so that it could come out to meet all potential claims, estimating that the minimum
level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with certainty. Compliance and controlled
non-compliance of maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities are fundamental for the
Bank's management. It is unusual for banks to ever fully agree on investments and resources, since
the different types of business transactions are carried out for an indefinite period.
Procedure for managing liquidity risk defines that the Bank's liquidity is based on a regular and
stable collection of receivables in their due dates, and accordingly the Bank monitors the funds
disbursed from the point of probability of charging in due time. The primary sources of Bank’s funds
are deposits of domestic legal entities and individuals as well as short-term loan lines approved by
the parent bank.

INTEREST RATE RISK
Existing interest rates are determined by a decision on the interest rate for the individuals and legal
entities. This decision defines the basic goals and guidelines for interest rate policy, principles and
methods of determining the interest rates by which the Bank arranges an agreements, calculate and
charge interest on loans and other receivables, i.e. pays on deposits and other funds received.
The Bank is exposed to various risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing
levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. As a result of such changes,
an interest margin of the Bank could be increased, but also decrease and loss in a case of
unexpected interest rate fluctuation can occur. In accordance with the policy for managing market
risks, the Bank controls the risk of interest rate fluctuations by establishing internal limitations for
the ratio of total bank exposure to interest rate changes in each period and total assets of 6%.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE OWNERS OF PODGORICKA BANKA SOCIETE GENERALE GROUP A.D. PODGORICA
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Podgoricka banka Societe Generale Group a.d.
Podgorica (hereinafter: the Bank), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2010, and the
income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing and regulations of Central Bank of Montenegro
governing financial reporting of banks, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank as at
31 December 2010, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with the Law on Accounting and Auditing and regulations of Central Bank of Montenegro
governing financial reporting of banks.
Other matter
The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended 31 December 2009 were audited by another
auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 February 2010.
