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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3.4. Taxes and Contributions (continued) Taxes, contributions and other duties not related to operating results Taxes, contributions and other duties that are not related to the Company’s operating results, include property taxes, employer contributions on salaries, and various other taxes and contributions paid pursuant to republic and municipal regulations. 3.5. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, balances with the Central Bank of Montenegro and other banks. 3.6. Loans 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3.7. Allowances for Impairment and Provisions for Potential Losses (continued) In accordance with the amendments to the abovestated Decisions on minimal standards for management of credit risks in banks, the Bank applied the following percentages and days of delay by categories of risk: Risk category As at December 31, 2010 % provisions Days of delay A B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 C4 D E 3.8. 3 15 30 50 75 100 <30 31-90 91-150 151-210 211-270 271-365 >365 As at December 31, 2009 % provisions Days of delay 3 3 20 30 40 50 75 100 <30 31-60 61-90 91-110 111-130 131-150 151-180 181-270 >271 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:: Property Computer equipment Furniture and other equipment Vehicles Intangible assets 3.3% 25.0% 15.0% 15.0% 30.0% English Translation of Financial Statements issued in Montenegrin Language 12 PODGORIČKA BANKA SOCIETE GENERALE GROUP A.D., PODGORICA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. 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. English Translation of Financial Statements issued in Montenegrin Language 13 PODGORIČKA BANKA SOCIETE GENERALE GROUP A.D., PODGORICA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3.12. Employee Benefits (continued) 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.

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 contractual maturities of the Bank’s asset and liability components as of December 31, 2010 were as follows: In thousand of EUR Up to one month From 1 to 3 month From 3 to 6 month From 6 to 12 month From 1 to 5 years Over 5 years Total Financial assets Cash balances and deposit accounts with depository institutions Loans and other receivables Other financial assets including investments in shares 52,662 12,518 16,743 21,392 27,220 85,865 33,600 52,662 197,338 1,108 934 - - 5,388 - 7,430 Total 66,288 17,677 21,392 27,220 91,253 33,600 257,430 94,578 5,331 3,852 8,376 1,718 - 113,855 53,500 0 6,887 27,500 4 27 22,000 4 27 4 323 4,000 293 380 107,000 12 7,937 154,965 32,862 25,883 8,703 6,011 380 228,804 Maturity gap: - December 31, 2009 26,536 4,446 (12,725) (55,981) 32,443 35,248 29,967 - December 31, 2010 88,677 (15,185) (4,491) 18,517 85,242 33,220 28,626 Cumulative GAP: - December 31, 2009 26,536 30,982 18,257 (37,724) (5,281) 29,967 - December 31, 2010 88,677 73,492 69,001 87,518 172,760 205,980 12.8% 14.9% 8.8% -18.1% -2.5% 14.4% -38.8% -45.4% -47.4% -39.3% -2% 12.5% Financial liabilities Deposits Obligations based on loans and other borrowings Obligations to the Government Other financial liabilities Total % of total liquidity-bearing assets: - December 31, 2009 - December 31, 2010 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 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.

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.
