The values that form the foundation of KD Holding Group<br />

are trust, openness, <strong>and</strong> equality.<br />

<strong>We</strong> are not afraid to look for new angles <strong>and</strong> find new solutions.<br />

But if you want to harvest trust, you must sow responsibly:<br />

to people, nature, <strong>and</strong> time.<br />

Only in this way is it possible to weather the great global tides <strong>and</strong><br />

the smaller local ripples, to take from the sea the salt that enriches the day,<br />

before a new wave comes along <strong>and</strong> carries it away.<br />

The KD Holding Group 3 is one of the largest<br />

<strong>and</strong> South Eastern Europe.<br />

The Group currently manages 24 mutual funds <strong>and</strong><br />

two investment companies as part of its investment<br />

fund management. KD Skladi d. o. o. 4 is the leading<br />

property <strong>and</strong> health insurance;<br />

sales of financial services;<br />

capital investments.<br />

The principal <strong>business</strong> activity of the parent<br />

company KD Holding d. d. is the management of<br />

listed <strong>and</strong> non-listed investments <strong>and</strong> the generation<br />

of financial returns in accordance with the structure<br />

of its portfolio. The parent company makes<br />

decisions regarding all the KD Holding Group’s<br />

major strategic investments.<br />

The KD Holding Group has almost 2,000<br />

employees in 12 countries <strong>and</strong> was entrusted with<br />

the management of more than EUR 1 billion of<br />

assets by more than 120,000 clients in 2007.<br />

Asset management<br />

The Group’s asset management is divided into:<br />

investment fund management,<br />

private wealth management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking.<br />

Private wealth management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking<br />

is becoming an increasingly important <strong>business</strong><br />

activity for the Group. It is gaining strength both<br />

in Slovenia <strong>and</strong> abroad, where the Group has<br />

companies in Bulgaria, Croatia <strong>and</strong> Romania.<br />

Insurance<br />

The KD Holding Group’s insurance <strong>business</strong><br />

comprises life, property <strong>and</strong> health insurance.<br />

It has two public limited companies in Slovenia:<br />

KD Življenje d. d., a life insurer, <strong>and</strong> Adriatic<br />

Slovenica d. d., a universal insurer that markets life<br />

insurance <strong>and</strong> non-life insurance, including health<br />

insurance. Adriatic Slovenica was ranked second<br />

among insurers in Slovenia in 2007, while KD<br />

Življenje, was ranked third among life insurers.<br />

The Group has been developing <strong>and</strong> marketing life<br />

insurance in other countries at branches of KD<br />

Življenje <strong>and</strong> at independently established insurance<br />

companies. It is currently present in Bulgaria,<br />

Romania, Ukraine, the Czech Republic <strong>and</strong> Slovakia.<br />

3 Hereinafter: the Group.<br />

4 On 16 January 2008, the company KD Investments, družba za upravljanje, d. o. o. was renamed KD Skladi,<br />

družba za upravljanje, d. o. o. (abbreviated name: KD Skladi, d. o. o.). The company’s English name is KD Funds<br />

– Management Company LLC (abbreviated name: KD Funds LLC).


Sales of financial services<br />

Last year, the Group established KD Finančna<br />

točka, d. o. o. which combines all the financial<br />

services offered within the KD Holding Group. It<br />

is not merely a collective sales channel, but also<br />

represents a tangible upgrade in services for clients,<br />

with the entire range of financial services available<br />

at a single point.<br />

Capital investments<br />

The Group’s capital investments are managed by<br />

the parent company KD Holding <strong>and</strong> the newly<br />

principal <strong>business</strong> activities include publishing,<br />

the management of closed-end investment funds<br />

in South Eastern Europe <strong>and</strong> private equity<br />

management.

Address by the Chief Executive Officer<br />

of KD Holding<br />

The big picture<br />

In 2007, the KD Holding Group proved itself to be strong,<br />

diversified <strong>and</strong> contemporary enough to rise to every<br />

challenge in the interest of its customers, investors <strong>and</strong><br />

policyholders. Such opportunities clearly indicate the<br />

importance of not only the portfolio of investments, but also<br />

the diverse markets on which the globally ambitious regional<br />

financial <strong>group</strong> operates today. Yes, it was a good year.<br />

Those of you who know us will not be surprised that some<br />

of the photographs in this year’s report go beyond the<br />

typical format. With extended pictures <strong>and</strong> images that<br />

stretch beyond the margins, we wanted to show that we are<br />

exploring new dimensions <strong>and</strong> turning new pages. <strong>We</strong> do<br />

not believe in the local stereotypes on the diverse markets<br />

on which the KD Holding Group operates, but search for the<br />

most incisive people <strong>and</strong> develop the most daring initiatives,<br />

from ways of providing services to cutting-edge approaches<br />

on an individual market. It is proven time <strong>and</strong> time again<br />

that there are sometimes more similarities between the<br />

streets of Sofia <strong>and</strong> Bratislava than between two street<br />

corners in one Parisian quarter. And something else reveals<br />

itself: that in our corner of Europe, an extraordinary history<br />

has evolved; a valuable experience for the people, who<br />

despite a turbulent <strong>and</strong> difficult past, have always known<br />

how to h<strong>and</strong>le money.<br />

It is in this that I see the message of our operations in 2007.<br />

<strong>We</strong> are a diverse Group: we respect the environment <strong>and</strong><br />

customs where we operate, but a global society dem<strong>and</strong>s<br />

that we constantly introduce new dimensions. In this way,<br />

new horizons are continually opening before us. <strong>We</strong> grow<br />

<strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong> together with our users, with our customers.<br />

This is growth that they can trust - <strong>and</strong> trust that grows.<br />

Both the mission <strong>and</strong> the vision of the Group are derived<br />

from the intertwining of responsible developmental growth<br />

<strong>and</strong> partnerships with users, employees <strong>and</strong> owners.<br />

Therefore, the Group, as a respected, modern <strong>and</strong> socially<br />

responsible financial <strong>group</strong>, is already helping to shape the<br />

future trends of financial services in Central, Southern <strong>and</strong><br />

Eastern Europe.


When we gathered together at the first strategic conference<br />

of Group companies, we were able to establish, without false<br />

modesty, that we have made great strides in all key areas<br />

of operations: the amount of assets in our investment funds<br />

has risen, insurance revenues are up <strong>and</strong> our investment<br />

activities have strengthened. Internally, the ever increasing<br />

synergy of the Group’s operations can be seen in the<br />

introduction of divisions. Externally, with a uniform corporate<br />

image, the user most directly feels this synergy through the<br />

new br<strong>and</strong> (<strong>and</strong> company!) KD Finančna točka, which has<br />

opened the door to an entirely new, never before experienced<br />

complete service: a unique supermarket of financial services<br />

<strong>and</strong> asset advisory services in one place.<br />

Now let us look in more detail at the bigger picture.<br />

The Group performed extremely well in 2007, as reflected<br />

in the improvement of all key performance indicators. Total<br />

operating revenues were up 25 percent from the previous<br />

year, reaching EUR 455.6 million. Net profit for the year was<br />

EUR 34.9 million, a 67 percent increase from 2006. Total<br />

capital was up 20 percent from the previous year, reaching<br />

EUR 340.3 million. The high growth in net profit was also<br />

evident in our return on equity of 11.2 percent in 2007, a<br />

significant improvement from 2006. The Group is already<br />

present in 12 countries <strong>and</strong> has nearly 2,000 employees.<br />

More than 120,000 customers have demonstrated their trust<br />

in us.<br />

In the area of asset management, the assets in all<br />

investment funds, including those under private wealth<br />

management, exceeded EUR 1 billion for the first time in<br />

2007. <strong>We</strong> were extremely successful in this area, as the<br />

majority of funds (17) exceeded established benchmarks.<br />

The oldest Slovenian mutual fund, KD Galileo, celebrated its<br />

15 th anniversary. In Croatia, marketing of a fourth mutual<br />

fund, KD Nova Europa, began, with nearly EUR 1 million<br />

paid into the fund in its first five days of operations. With<br />

the public subscription of units of the KD Ekskluziv fund in<br />

Belgrade, the Group’s 26 th investment fund was born. All of<br />

the Group’s funds are professionally sound <strong>and</strong> operationally<br />

strong, enabling us to market them outside the countries<br />

in which they were established. <strong>We</strong> are thus becoming<br />

an important channel to global investments for customers<br />

from the region, <strong>and</strong> a key expert in financial <strong>and</strong> <strong>business</strong><br />

opportunities in this part of Europe for the rest of the world.<br />

Our plans for the insurance sector are also clearly ambitious.<br />

<strong>We</strong> have renamed Slovenica Življenje KD Življenje <strong>and</strong><br />

consolidated our life insurance products. As the second<br />

largest insurance company in Slovenia, the universal insurer<br />

Adriatic Slovenica also marketed life <strong>and</strong> property insurance,<br />

including health insurance, in 2007.<br />

The Group also demonstrated its social responsibility in the<br />

insurance sector in 2007, with Adriatic Slovenica putting<br />

forth maximum effort in the hardest hit areas in the Celje<br />

<strong>and</strong> Gorenjska regions following September’s catastrophic<br />

storms. Policyholders were repaid an enormous amount in<br />

property damages. This however had no significant impact<br />

on the company’s operating results due an appropriate level<br />

of reinsurance. The Group’s market share in the area of life<br />

insurance is growing rapidly. Last year, we improved our<br />

market share to 15 percent, placing third amongst life insurers<br />

at the end of the year. In 2008, we are planning further<br />

growth with the aim of achieving second place amongst life<br />

insurance providers. Our life insurance products are present<br />

abroad in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania<br />

<strong>and</strong> Bulgaria, with plans to exp<strong>and</strong> to Ukraine <strong>and</strong> Croatia.<br />

A significant step forward with regard to the sale of financial<br />

services is the aforementioned establishment of KD Finančna<br />

točka, equally owned by the insurer KD Življenje <strong>and</strong> the asset<br />

management company KD Skladi. It is not just Slovenian<br />

users, with access to more than 80 investment funds,<br />

stockbroking services <strong>and</strong> private wealth management, who<br />

benefit from this network of financial supermarkets; the Group<br />

also uses it to develop its contemporary marketing know-how,<br />

which it employs to its advantage on all new markets. KD<br />

Finančna točka has also joined the founding companies of our<br />

prestigious service, Club KD Plus.<br />

In addition to more efficient <strong>and</strong> transparent operations, the<br />

benefits of the Group’s division-based organisation include<br />

the transfer of non-strategic investments to KD Kapital, which<br />

will facilitate improved capital investment management. The<br />

Group is present in a broad range of segments: it manages<br />

a private equity fund; it is active in cinematography <strong>and</strong><br />

entertainment <strong>and</strong> in education <strong>and</strong> publishing. The activities<br />

of its subsidiaries include the design <strong>and</strong> manufacture of<br />

watercraft, retail trade, the food industry <strong>and</strong> others. With the<br />

acquisition of <strong>build</strong>ing rights for the Šumi project in the centre<br />

of Ljubljana <strong>and</strong> the establishment of KD Kvart, the Group’s<br />

real estate division has become increasingly more active.<br />

And what is the Group’s biggest project <strong>and</strong> my greatest wish<br />

for 2008?<br />

Without a doubt the Group’s entry into the banking sector. In<br />

2007, we brought together a team of experienced banking<br />

experts. The realisation of these plans in 2008 will bring the<br />

KD Holding Group’s range of products <strong>and</strong> services full circle<br />

- <strong>and</strong> surely broaden our picture, not merely by a page or two,<br />

but with an entire new chapter. Even as we take this new step<br />

together, we are very conscious of the fact that our growth as<br />

partners is based solely on the values of trust, openness <strong>and</strong><br />

equality.<br />

Only in this way can trust grow - <strong>and</strong> only that growth<br />

stimulates trust.<br />

Address by the Chairman of the<br />

Supervisory Board of KD Holding<br />

In its third year in office, the Supervisory Board continued<br />

to actively monitor the company’s operations. There were<br />

no changes in the Board’s composition. <strong>We</strong> were regularly<br />

informed about the company’s operations at five regular<br />

<strong>and</strong> two correspondence sessions. By being familiar with<br />

the work of the Management Board <strong>and</strong> its decisions <strong>and</strong><br />

through discussions <strong>and</strong> initiatives, the Supervisory Board<br />

performed its corporate governance role consistently <strong>and</strong><br />

responsibly, in accordance with the capacities <strong>and</strong> duties<br />

prescribed by the law.<br />

<strong>We</strong> paid particular attention to the professional<br />

supervision of operations, the risk management system<br />

<strong>and</strong> the realisation of KD Holding’s strategies. <strong>We</strong><br />

regularly monitored the operations of the KD Holding<br />

Group’s companies abroad, focusing primarily on the<br />

expansion of life insurance activities on the markets of<br />

South Eastern Europe. Sustained development plays<br />

an important role in the company’s long-term strategy.<br />

Therefore, the Supervisory Board initiated <strong>and</strong> supported<br />

such development activities. Based on the resolution of<br />

the General Meeting of Shareholders of 30 August 2007,<br />

the Supervisory Board approved the recommendations<br />

regarding the remuneration of its members.<br />

Last year, the company underwent a reorganisation <strong>and</strong><br />

began introducing division-based operations which will<br />

facilitate more efficient <strong>and</strong> transparent operations. Group<br />

companies also took significant steps to improve <strong>and</strong><br />

develop their approach to customers. This is reflected<br />

by the favourable results in key areas of operations,<br />

the management of investment funds, private wealth<br />

management <strong>and</strong> in the life insurance sector. With its<br />

approval, the Supervisory Board demonstrated its full<br />

support for the project to develop banking services. The<br />

Group began actively implementing the project last year.<br />

Banking services will compliment existing insurance<br />

<strong>and</strong> financial products, further spurring the growth <strong>and</strong><br />

development of the KD Holding Group. Real estate<br />

projects will also play an important role in the future.<br />

Our results indicate that the Management Board <strong>and</strong><br />

co-workers fulfilled the company’s plans <strong>and</strong> managed<br />

the company’s operations in accordance with its<br />

long-term strategic policies. The Supervisory Board is<br />

therefore justifiably satisfied with the achievements of KD<br />

Holding <strong>and</strong> the entire Group in 2007.<br />

In the future, the Group will face new challenges such as<br />

penetrating the markets of Central, Southern <strong>and</strong> Eastern<br />

Europe <strong>and</strong> strengthening its market position in Slovenia.<br />

The Supervisory Board will support the Group in these<br />

activities in accordance with its competencies.<br />

KD Holding Group br<strong>and</strong>s<br />

The Group enhances growth by constantly<br />

developing, strengthening <strong>and</strong> upgrading existing<br />

established br<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> by creating new ones.<br />

into consideration <strong>and</strong> reflects it. The objective was<br />

to create a flexible graphic identity structure to allow<br />

each company to retain its own level of identity,<br />

while contributing to the synergies within the Group<br />

The KD corporate br<strong>and</strong> is not merely a corporate<br />

as a whole.<br />

br<strong>and</strong>, but is above all the most recognisable <strong>and</strong><br />

credible connecting element of the company’s<br />

financial services <strong>and</strong> product br<strong>and</strong>s. These are<br />

the Group’s key <strong>and</strong> most visible element. KD<br />

is synonymous with the effective <strong>and</strong> profitable<br />

management of long-term <strong>and</strong> short-term<br />

investments. Through its strategic management, the<br />

Group ensures the establishment <strong>and</strong> increasing<br />

recognition of the KD corporate br<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> individual<br />

product br<strong>and</strong>s on new markets. Through the<br />

expansion of operations, new management<br />

companies, stockbroking companies, investment<br />

funds <strong>and</strong> other investments <strong>and</strong> with other new<br />

financial corporations <strong>and</strong> products, the Group is<br />

<strong>build</strong>ing a diverse yet solid architecture for the KD<br />

br<strong>and</strong>. It focuses special attention on the consistent<br />

use of its corporate image.<br />

The reasons for the change to KD’s graphical<br />

corporate image lie in the rapid growth <strong>and</strong><br />

expansion of the Group in recent years. The<br />

previous image was launched in 2001, when<br />

the company began operating under the new,<br />

abbreviated name of KD (previously Kmečka<br />

družba). The old image was monolithic <strong>and</strong> no<br />

longer fit the system of the new organisation.<br />

There is a hierarchy of subsidiaries in the KD<br />

system. KD’s new br<strong>and</strong> image takes this hierarchy<br />

In 2007, the Group established the new company,<br />

KD Finančna točka, which is the most important<br />

distribution channel for products <strong>and</strong> services<br />

<strong>and</strong> the main ambassador of KD’s image to the<br />

public. The company offers a unique <strong>and</strong> integrated<br />

concept of points of sale for financial services under<br />

the name Finančna točka, both in its network of<br />

sales offices around Slovenia, <strong>and</strong> via its web portal<br />

at www.financna-tocka.si.<br />

With regard to insurance, Adriatic Slovenica is an<br />

established br<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> one of the most successful<br />

insurers on the Slovenian market. Another major<br />

br<strong>and</strong> in the Group is Kolosej, a byword for<br />

state-of-the-art cinematography in Slovenia, known<br />

for the quality of its film experience. Gea College<br />

also has a rising profile in the area of education in<br />

Slovenia <strong>and</strong> throughout the region.<br />

1.1<br />

Strategic orientations<br />

of the KD Holding Group<br />

Mission, vision <strong>and</strong> values<br />

Trust is the basis of our present <strong>and</strong> future growth.<br />

<strong>We</strong> act responsibly in mutual partnerships <strong>and</strong> take<br />

particular care to respect the individuality of our<br />

customers <strong>and</strong> employees.<br />

The Group‘s operations are best summarised by the<br />

central notion: Trust that grows.<br />

Openness means providing access to all services, as<br />

well as openness to new knowledge <strong>and</strong> solutions.<br />

<strong>We</strong> therefore give a great deal of consideration to<br />

Mission: responsible partnerships with customers,<br />

employees <strong>and</strong> shareholders.<br />

learning, knowledge <strong>and</strong> the recognition of new<br />

development opportunities.<br />

The Group responsibly, efficiently, safely <strong>and</strong><br />

38<br />

profitably manages the financial assets of its<br />

customers. The Group provides its employees the<br />

best working conditions, training, the possibility of<br />

advancement <strong>and</strong> incentives for quality work. The<br />

Group generates expected growth <strong>and</strong> profit for<br />

its shareholders <strong>and</strong> creates socially responsible<br />

partnerships between equals.<br />

Equality does not mean merely abiding by equal<br />

opportunities; it also means actively striving for<br />

respect between genders, nationalities, religions <strong>and</strong><br />

beliefs on a daily basis.<br />

Realisation of strategic objectives <strong>and</strong><br />

orientations<br />

Vision: developmental growth <strong>and</strong> responsive<br />

expansion.<br />

<strong>We</strong> are a respected, dynamic <strong>and</strong> socially<br />

responsible financial <strong>group</strong>. Trustworthy experts<br />

fulfil the expectations of customers with services<br />

that are a step ahead of the times. Accessible in one<br />

location, we shape the trends of financial services in<br />

Southern <strong>and</strong> Eastern Europe.<br />

<strong>We</strong> realise our mission <strong>and</strong> vision by taking into<br />

account values which are the foundation of our<br />

growth <strong>and</strong> development.<br />

Our strategic objectives <strong>and</strong> orientations were<br />

realised again in 2007 by seeking the best solutions<br />

<strong>and</strong> taking advantage of opportunities for the growth<br />

<strong>and</strong> development of all companies in the Group.<br />

Consolidating <strong>and</strong> increasing market share<br />

for activities in target markets<br />

With EUR 107 million in net inflows <strong>and</strong> a 24.5<br />

percent market share, we maintained our leading<br />

position in Slovenia in the area of mutual funds.<br />

<strong>We</strong> also consolidated our position in other markets<br />

by successfully introducing new mutual funds. The<br />

Group currently manages 24 mutual funds <strong>and</strong> two<br />

investment companies throughout the region.


<strong>We</strong> achieve excellence in financial asset<br />

Utilising synergies in the Group<br />

management with our expert approach, long years<br />

of experience in the domestic <strong>and</strong> regional capital<br />

markets <strong>and</strong> through international links. This is<br />

reflected in the operating results of our investment<br />

funds which are, to a great extent, dependent on<br />

developments on individual capital markets.<br />

<strong>We</strong> were extremely successful in this area, as<br />

the majority of funds (17) exceeded established<br />

benchmarks. Several investment funds managed<br />

by management companies within the Group have<br />

received various domestic <strong>and</strong> international awards<br />

for successful asset management.<br />

The Group holds a 15 percent share of the<br />

Slovenian life insurance market, while the Group’s<br />

specialised life insurance company has risen to<br />

second position. The Group successfully markets life<br />

insurance in other markets in the region.<br />

Unit-linked life insurance products, primarily<br />

Fondpolica, st<strong>and</strong> out as the most successful<br />

insurance products in the past year, both in Slovenia<br />

<strong>and</strong> across the entire region. With an 18 percent<br />

market share, the insurance company Adriatic<br />

Slovenica consolidated second position among<br />

composite insurance companies in Slovenia in 2007.<br />

<strong>We</strong> began to actively carry out a project to<br />

develop banking services. The project included a<br />

<strong>group</strong> of experienced banking experts. Banking will<br />

complement other insurance <strong>and</strong> financial products<br />

<strong>and</strong> bring the Group’s range of products <strong>and</strong><br />

services full circle.<br />

<strong>We</strong> accelerated the development of a new real<br />

estate division. Our main project in this regard is the<br />

Šumi <strong>business</strong> complex in Ljubljana.<br />

In the past year, we reorganised the Group<br />

<strong>and</strong> began introducing division-based operations.<br />

Thus the Group operates in the following divisions:<br />

investment fund management, private wealth<br />

management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking, insurance, capital<br />

investments <strong>and</strong> real estate. Division managers are<br />

the presidents of the management boards of the<br />

largest companies within a specific division. The<br />

new arrangement will facilitate more efficient <strong>and</strong><br />

transparent operations.<br />

<strong>We</strong> continued our growth in regional markets<br />

where we are already present by introducing<br />

complementary products to complete our offer of<br />

mutual funds, private wealth management, life<br />

insurance, stockbroking <strong>and</strong> sales of financial<br />

services.<br />

The strengths of several companies within KD<br />

Holding Group both at home <strong>and</strong> throughout the<br />

region were also successfully combined in the area of<br />

financial-insurance products.<br />

39


Continuing along the same path in 2008<br />

40<br />

<strong>We</strong> will continue introducing mutual funds,<br />

classic <strong>and</strong> unit-linked life insurance products,<br />

private wealth management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking<br />

services, other financial products <strong>and</strong> the expansion<br />

of the sales network in the region. <strong>We</strong> will enter the<br />

markets of Macedonia <strong>and</strong> Ukraine <strong>and</strong> consolidate<br />

our position in counties where we are already present.<br />

In the area of investment fund management,<br />

we will maintain our leading position in Slovenia<br />

<strong>and</strong> strengthen our market share in South<br />

Eastern Europe by increasing recognition. <strong>We</strong> will<br />

complement our portfolio of products in accordance<br />

with industry trends, guided by our aim to remain<br />

innovative <strong>and</strong> maintain the customer as the centre<br />

of activities.<br />

In the area of private wealth management<br />

<strong>and</strong> stockbroking, we plan to continue growing<br />

our market shares to become one of the leading<br />

providers of these services in the region. <strong>We</strong> will<br />

improve management processes <strong>and</strong> employee<br />

training <strong>and</strong> enhance private wealth management<br />

services with a broad range of other financial<br />

services.<br />

In the area of life insurance, we plan to<br />

collect more than EUR 100 million in premiums,<br />

representing growth of 35 percent, <strong>and</strong> to continue<br />

consolidating these insurance products at<br />

KD Življenje. Together with the organic growth of<br />

the company, KD Življenje will assume second<br />

position among life insurance companies in 2008.<br />

In the area of property insurance (including health<br />

insurance), we plan to collect more than EUR 252<br />

million in premiums, representing 7.6 percent<br />

growth in property insurance <strong>and</strong> 8.5 percent<br />

growth in health insurance.<br />

<strong>We</strong> will also dedicate a great deal of energy to<br />

the establishment of banking services in 2008.<br />

These will complement the Group’s current range<br />

of products <strong>and</strong> services <strong>and</strong> facilitate further<br />

development <strong>and</strong> growth. <strong>We</strong> will therefore continue<br />

developing banking services, which we will offer to<br />

the market at the beginning of 2009.<br />

<strong>We</strong> will strengthen the uniform approach of<br />

all companies that operate on individual markets.<br />

<strong>We</strong> will improve our position on all markets <strong>and</strong><br />

increase synergies.

Operating revenue<br />

Structure of operating revenue<br />

Total operating revenue was EUR 455.6 million in<br />

2007, up 25 percent compared to 2006.<br />

Net revenue from insurance premiums represents<br />

the largest share of total revenue (65 percent of<br />

revenue of the entire Group). This revenue was up<br />

16 percent compared to the previous year.<br />

Net finance income from investments recorded even<br />

higher growth (40 percent), as did net revenue from<br />

sales of goods <strong>and</strong> services (39 percent) <strong>and</strong> other<br />

operating revenue (71 percent). Net revenue from<br />

sales of goods <strong>and</strong> services was EUR 77.2 million<br />

in 2007, <strong>and</strong> represents the second highest share of<br />

total revenue. This growth is primarily the reflection<br />

of a large jump in revenue from management <strong>and</strong><br />

subscription fees.<br />

8 Sales revenue: Net revenue from sales of goods <strong>and</strong> services + net sales revenue from insurance premiums


In 2007, the highest relative <strong>and</strong> absolute growth<br />

Net finance income from investments<br />

was achieved in life insurance (40 percent growth)<br />

<strong>and</strong> financial services (92 percent growth). Life<br />

insurance revenue (EUR 76 million) is approaching<br />

the level of health insurance (EUR 89.2 million),<br />

which ranks second, while property insurance (EUR<br />

131.5 million) still ranks first, despite lower growth<br />

of 7 percent compared to the previous year. Growth<br />

was also achieved in cinematography (16 percent).<br />

Finance income from investments recorded 40<br />

percent growth in 2007 compared to the previous<br />

year, totalling EUR 56.7 million. The largest<br />

contribution came from favourable trends in capital<br />

markets which, with successful management of<br />

financial assets, were the biggest contributors to<br />

improved results from financial operations.<br />

A large increase in the net financial result of the<br />

life insurance segment stems from unit-linked<br />

investments. Because of the nature of the product<br />

however, the positive result can be attributed to<br />

premium payments by policyholders.<br />

Operating expenses<br />

Operating expenses amounted to EUR 412.8<br />

million in 2007. In 2007, the Group increased<br />

its cost efficiency compared to the previous year,<br />

as operating expenses grew at a slower rate than<br />

operating revenue (operating expenses rose by<br />

23 percent, while operating revenue rose by<br />

25 percent).<br />

The cost structure did not change significantly.<br />

Net expenses for damages paid still account for<br />

the largest share of total operating expenses, <strong>and</strong><br />

remain at the previous year’s level (56 percent).<br />

Labour costs rose by 18 percent compared to 2006,<br />

<strong>and</strong> accounted for 14 percent of operating expenses,<br />

a decrease of 1 percentage point.<br />

Similar to 2006, the largest increase in assets in 2007<br />

was in the life insurance segment (63 percent growth<br />

compared to 2006), <strong>and</strong> was followed by property<br />

insurance <strong>and</strong> financial services. In terms of volume,<br />

the life insurance segment (EUR 249 million) is<br />

approaching the level of property insurance<br />

(EUR 272 million). One of the primary reasons for<br />

growth in the life insurance segment is strong growth<br />

in premiums collected in Slovenia <strong>and</strong> abroad,<br />

resulting in an increase in premium reserves.<br />

Financing<br />

Due to the high growth in assets in the insurance<br />

segment (primarily in the life insurance segment),<br />

liabilities arising from insurance contracts recorded<br />

significant growth (25 percent) on the liability side.<br />

The expansion of the Group to markets <strong>and</strong> capital<br />

increases in existing companies also required<br />

As a result, the independence level of capital<br />

indicator fell from 36.5 to 35.6. It should be<br />

mentioned here that this indicator is low due to<br />

the specific nature of insurance balance sheets,<br />

which disclose a high level of liabilities arising from<br />

insurance contracts on the liability <strong>and</strong> equity side.<br />

financing in the form of additional equity <strong>and</strong> debt<br />

sources. In this regard, financial liabilities rose by<br />

45 percent, reaching EUR 170.6 million at the end<br />

of 2007 (two issues of KD Holding d. d. bonds<br />

accounted for EUR 79.1 million of this amount),<br />

while equity increased by 20 percent compared to<br />

Finance expenses rose by 19 percent in 2007<br />

compared to the previous year. Interest on<br />

KD Holding d. d. bonds issued <strong>and</strong> interest on<br />

expenses.<br />

Risk Management<br />

64<br />

The Management Board of KD Holding d. d.<br />

manages risks at the company <strong>and</strong> for the entire<br />

Group. Since the company is a holding company,<br />

it is extremely important that risks at subsidiaries<br />

are also appropriately managed. The controlling<br />

company establishes guidelines regarding the<br />

ratios between risks, return <strong>and</strong> capital, carries<br />

out periodic reviews <strong>and</strong> provides guidelines for<br />

implementing <strong>business</strong> policies <strong>and</strong> strategies for<br />

individual Group companies.<br />

Strategic risk<br />

Strategic risks related to the long-term development<br />

of the Group include the risk of loss arising<br />

from incorrect <strong>business</strong> decisions, inappropriate<br />

implementation of adopted decisions <strong>and</strong><br />

insufficient responsiveness to changes in the<br />

<strong>business</strong> environment. Strategic risks are managed<br />

through the implementation <strong>and</strong> regular review of<br />

the adequacy of defined strategies of the company<br />

<strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries. The adoption of investment<br />

decisions for specific areas <strong>and</strong> activities is of vital<br />

strategic importance given the extremely diverse<br />

activities of the companies owned by KD Holding.<br />

The corporate governance system is adapted to the<br />

development <strong>and</strong> growth of individual areas <strong>and</strong><br />

to achieving expected returns. All projects that are<br />

reasonable in terms of synergy effects are carried<br />

out <strong>and</strong> coordinated at the Group level. These are<br />

primarily development projects, projects introducing<br />

information solutions <strong>and</strong> other projects important<br />

for strategic development. Risks in this area are<br />

mitigated through planning <strong>and</strong> the continuous<br />

monitoring of project progress in accordance with<br />

Project Management Rules.<br />

General <strong>business</strong> risks<br />

Our activities have no direct impact on<br />

developments in economic, legislative <strong>and</strong> other<br />

environments. Thus risks are more difficult to<br />

measure <strong>and</strong> model. <strong>We</strong> manage these risks by<br />

regularly monitoring legislation, capital markets<br />

<strong>and</strong> macroeconomic parameters. Amendments<br />

to legal regulations which significantly affect our<br />

<strong>business</strong> environment are quite frequent. A series of<br />

legislative changes have occurred in Slovenia <strong>and</strong><br />

the countries of South Eastern Europe in the past<br />

year that have affected our key areas of operations<br />

<strong>and</strong> required numerous activities to adapt them.<br />

Financial risks<br />

The primary purpose of financial risk management<br />

is to achieve stable operations <strong>and</strong> reduce exposure<br />

to specific risks to an acceptable level. The Group is<br />

exposed to financial risks through its financial assets<br />

<strong>and</strong> liabilities, reinsurance receivables <strong>and</strong> insurance<br />

liabilities. The possibility that inflows from financial<br />

investments will not be sufficient to cover outflows<br />

from insurance contracts represents the main risk.<br />

Given that most companies in the Group are involved<br />

in regulated activities, this area is already controlled


to a great extent by observing legislative provisions.<br />

The most significant components of financial risk<br />

are changing interest rates <strong>and</strong> securities prices <strong>and</strong><br />

currency <strong>and</strong> credit risk.<br />

acts. Operational risk also includes IT risk, which is<br />

the risk of loss resulting from inadequate information<br />

technology <strong>and</strong> processing, particularly in terms<br />

of manageability, access, integrity, supervision<br />

<strong>and</strong> continuity. Operational risk is managed<br />

The risks related to market risk management are<br />

managed independently by Group companies using<br />

methods linked primarily to the legal aspects of<br />

specific industries <strong>and</strong> may vary significantly by<br />

individual divisions. Group companies monitor<br />

<strong>and</strong> manage market risks from investments in<br />

other issuers of securities by carefully selecting<br />

the industrial <strong>and</strong> geographical composition of<br />

investments. In the asset management activity,<br />

market risks are monitored, measured <strong>and</strong> managed<br />

using quantitative risk measurement methods<br />

compared with selected profitability criteria (beta<br />

parameter values compared to a benchmark,<br />

tracking error <strong>and</strong> relative risk). In accordance with<br />

the Insurance Act, insurance companies are obliged<br />

to match long-term <strong>business</strong> fund investments with<br />

their liabilities arising from insurance contracts, the<br />

amount of which depends on changes in exchange<br />

rates, interest rates <strong>and</strong> securities prices.<br />

Operational risk<br />

Operational risk (including legal risk) is the risk<br />

of loss arising primarily due to inadequate or<br />

incorrect implementation of internal controls, other<br />

inappropriate conduct by personnel involved in<br />

the company’s internal operations, inadequate or<br />

incorrect functioning of systems that relate to the<br />

company’s internal operations <strong>and</strong> external events or<br />

by companies by identifying opportunities <strong>and</strong><br />

threats in their respective areas <strong>and</strong> by managing<br />

<strong>business</strong> processes. The management of these<br />

risks is subordinate to the strategic <strong>and</strong> <strong>business</strong><br />

objectives of individual areas <strong>and</strong> companies. The<br />

Group manages operational risk by introducing<br />

the ISO st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> using st<strong>and</strong>ard software for<br />

accounting <strong>and</strong> investments. Risks are also mitigated<br />

by a st<strong>and</strong>ardised system of annual planning <strong>and</strong><br />

reporting that enable the parent company to be<br />

informed about the operations of subsidiaries in a<br />

timely manner.<br />

Insurance risks<br />

Within the framework of insurance risk the<br />

company’s operations are exposed to underwriting<br />

process risk, product design risk, pricing risk,<br />

economic environment risk, policyholder behaviour<br />

risk, reserving risk <strong>and</strong> claims risk.<br />

Insurance companies in the Group have developed<br />

their own policy for concluding insurance contracts<br />

with the aim of spreading assumed risks. Insurance<br />

risks are managed as follows:<br />

Risks that exceed a predetermined amount are<br />

transferred to a reinsurance company;<br />

Assumed risks are spread <strong>and</strong> we achieve,<br />

within each individual category, a sufficient number<br />

of risks to reduce the variability of expected results;<br />

65


66<br />

Parameters defining the insurance premium are<br />

assessed adequately when new insurance products<br />

are developed.<br />

Human resource risk<br />

The risk in this area is carefully managed at the<br />

Group level, as employees are the key to our<br />

success. To mitigate the risk of excessive employee<br />

turnover, we constantly educate <strong>and</strong> train our<br />

employees, attend to the working environment<br />

<strong>and</strong> general employee satisfaction (by measuring<br />

organisational climate <strong>and</strong> culture), organise<br />

meetings of all employees, stimulate affiliation with<br />

the Group, implement a system of annual interviews<br />

with co-workers <strong>and</strong> strengthen the social security<br />

of employees with additional insurance (accident,<br />

pension, etc.). <strong>We</strong> also give special attention to the<br />

system of remuneration <strong>and</strong> advancement.<br />

Reputation risk<br />

A potential loss due to a negative corporate or Group<br />

image is difficult to measure <strong>and</strong> even more difficult<br />

to correct. <strong>We</strong> maintain <strong>and</strong> augment the Group’s<br />

reputation <strong>and</strong> boost the value of our br<strong>and</strong>s in the<br />

eyes of our customers, <strong>business</strong> partners, owners,<br />

investors <strong>and</strong> regulators through good performance<br />

<strong>and</strong> by managing all other risks. <strong>We</strong> constantly<br />

communicate with the community <strong>and</strong> financially<br />

support numerous cultural <strong>and</strong> sporting events, <strong>and</strong><br />

humanitarian campaigns.<br />

IT-related risk<br />

<strong>We</strong> constantly introduce new information support<br />

(or improve existing support) for work process at all<br />

companies in the Group. <strong>We</strong> manage this process<br />

through an appropriate organisational structure,<br />

the inclusion of specialist departments, internal<br />

auditing, diligent testing <strong>and</strong> project management.<br />

In 2007, the entire information system functioned<br />

practically without interruption in the companies of<br />

KD Holding Group. Group companies also have a<br />

well-structured <strong>business</strong> continuity plan.<br />

Reporting risk<br />

Risk in the areas of information <strong>and</strong> communication<br />

is managed by proactively communicating at<br />

the same level with the media <strong>and</strong> stakeholders.<br />

In doing so, we comply with applicable legal<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards, rules of supervisory bodies <strong>and</strong><br />

communication requirements of stock exchanges.<br />

Management of this type of risk is indirectly<br />

reflected through the strengthening of the<br />

company’s reputation <strong>and</strong> its br<strong>and</strong>, products <strong>and</strong><br />

services.<br />

Legal risk<br />

Legal risk is the risk of loss arising from the violation<br />

of or improper adherence to laws, implementing<br />

regulations, instructions, recommendations,<br />

contracts, good practices or ethical st<strong>and</strong>ards. These<br />

risks are managed through the adoption of internal


ules of operation aimed at reducing the probability<br />

of harmful consequences <strong>and</strong> preventing actions<br />

caused by such circumstances. The legal function is<br />

integrated into the adoption of <strong>business</strong> decisions,<br />

providing for the timely detection of legal risks.<br />

Incidental risk<br />

Incidental events are quite rare but may have severe<br />

consequences for operations. The company protects<br />

itself against incidental risk through insurance or<br />

reinsurance contracts.<br />

Risk related to securities issued by KD<br />

Holding<br />

The holders of securities issued by KD Holding are<br />

exposed to the following risks:<br />

67<br />

Market risk: shares <strong>and</strong> bonds are sensitive to<br />

changes which the issuer cannot influence such as<br />

changes in the economy or legislation, crises, <strong>and</strong><br />

natural <strong>and</strong> ecological disasters;<br />

Liquidity risk: the risk of a security holder not being<br />

able to sell a security or only being able to sell it at a<br />

lower price owing to insufficient dem<strong>and</strong>;<br />

Credit risk: the risk of the bond issuer failing to pay<br />

interest <strong>and</strong> principal.<br />

KD Holding can only impact the exposure to credit<br />

risk by managing other risks <strong>and</strong> thus influencing the<br />

stability <strong>and</strong> long-term growth of the Group.

The Group has undergone rapid <strong>and</strong> intensive growth<br />

Employee educational structure<br />

More <strong>and</strong> more people with higher educational<br />

levels are employed at the Group every year. At the<br />

end of 2007, 48.78 percent of employees held an<br />

educational level VI or higher, in line with the job<br />

systemisation <strong>and</strong> the requirements of key areas<br />

such as asset management <strong>and</strong> insurance. Level V<br />

The number of employees with Level VII or higher<br />

education was again higher than in the previous<br />

year. Quality, highly educated personnel, continually<br />

searching for new knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills in the<br />

stimulating Group environment, are another reason<br />

for optimism.<br />

education was held by 42.03 percent of employees,<br />

with the remaining 9.19 percent holding Level I to<br />

IV education.<br />

Employee age structure<br />

The age structure of employees indicates that<br />

three-quarters of the Group’s entire workforce are<br />

less than 45 years of age, although this figure is<br />

down slightly from previous years. The workforce<br />

thus primarily consists of young people. At the end<br />

between 26 <strong>and</strong> 40 years of age. The largest <strong>group</strong><br />

of employees (19.51 percent of the total workforce)<br />

were those between 26 <strong>and</strong> 30 years of age, followed<br />

by those between 31 <strong>and</strong> 35 years of age (17.96<br />

Recruitment process<br />

<strong>We</strong> pursue the Group’s vision <strong>and</strong> mission in the<br />

recruitment processes. In addition to meeting all<br />

requirements of a position, we are particularly<br />

diligent in choosing ambitious, competitive<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idates, with the potential to develop <strong>and</strong> with<br />

values <strong>and</strong> interests in line with the strategy of the<br />

KD Holding Group. In 2007, we again applied our<br />

principle of putting the right people in the right<br />

positions with the expert, high quality selection<br />

of personnel to ensure the best support of all our<br />

activities.<br />

Employee development oriented investing<br />

Investing in employee knowledge is considered<br />

investing in the future of the KD Holding Group.<br />

<strong>We</strong> therefore make planned investments to improve<br />

the professional qualifications <strong>and</strong> general work<br />

competencies of our employees. <strong>We</strong> will continue<br />

to provide this through education <strong>and</strong> training. In<br />

particular, we will strive to establish more<br />

in-house training <strong>and</strong> include all potential in-house<br />

educators in the process of continuous education,<br />

while ensuring the constant transfer of knowledge<br />

between employees.


Employees have undergone training <strong>and</strong> education to<br />

obtain higher degrees of formal education <strong>and</strong> to gain<br />

special expertise <strong>and</strong> soft managerial skills such as<br />

efficient management, communication, motivation <strong>and</strong><br />

teamwork.<br />

Regular annual interviews with employees <strong>and</strong><br />

organisational climate measurements have been<br />

conducted by several companies in the KD Holding<br />

Group. In the future, we intend to further strengthen<br />

such job performance measurements <strong>and</strong> introduce<br />

them to as many companies in the Group as<br />

possible <strong>and</strong> further improve employee satisfaction.<br />

Human resources activities in 2008<br />

The introduction <strong>and</strong> development of tools <strong>and</strong><br />

mechanisms to raise employee performance <strong>and</strong><br />

commitment, applying the principle that only the<br />

best is good enough for our employees;<br />

The continuation of the process of strategic<br />

planning <strong>and</strong> management of the Group. Special<br />

attention will be placed on ensuring that the Group’s<br />

divisional strategies match those of the subsidiaries;<br />

Greater emphasis on the education <strong>and</strong> training<br />

system: particular focus on special programmes for<br />

training sales teams in asset products using<br />

in-house <strong>and</strong> outside trainers;<br />

Health <strong>and</strong> safety at work, social security<br />

Health <strong>and</strong> safety at work is one of our basic<br />

responsibilities. All companies in the Group organise<br />

seminars on safety at work which are attended by<br />

all employees. The principle of social security for<br />

employees is a pillar of HR policy at all companies<br />

in the KD Holding Group. Employees may also opt<br />

for supplementary collective pension <strong>and</strong> accident<br />

insurance.<br />

The development of a system of rewarding<br />

performance in the division, in the Group <strong>and</strong> in<br />

project work;<br />

The continuing organisation of the most diverse<br />

social events for employees.<br />

Events for employees in their spare time<br />

The employees of the Group continued to enjoy<br />

social events in 2007. There are a number of<br />

sporting societies at the Group that organise<br />

different sporting activities for the active enjoyment<br />

of employees in their free time. Most of these<br />

societies organise internal social events at the<br />

end of the year for employees <strong>and</strong> presentation of<br />

Christmas gifts for employees’ children.

Corporate communications<br />

Internal communications<br />

82<br />

Efficient communication management in the Group<br />

is based on clearly defined long-term communication<br />

objectives that support the operations <strong>and</strong><br />

strategic orientation of the entire Group.<br />

Realisation of communication objectives<br />

Corporate communication is a strategic function<br />

with an emphasis on success, efficiency, soundness<br />

<strong>and</strong> the justification of <strong>relationships</strong> between the<br />

organisation <strong>and</strong> its stakeholders. The Corporate<br />

Communications Department plans, coordinates<br />

<strong>and</strong> implements communication activities that<br />

provide for a professional approach to everyday<br />

communication with employees, the media,<br />

suppliers, customers, the local community,<br />

decision-makers <strong>and</strong> other relevant publics.<br />

Activities in 2007 were focused on the realisation of<br />

the following long-term objectives:<br />

support of operations <strong>and</strong> the strategic<br />

orientation of the Group,<br />

strengthening the reputation of the Group in the<br />

eyes of key publics,<br />

<strong>build</strong>ing a “coalition” of journalists <strong>and</strong><br />

maintaining a positive media image,<br />

enforcing the division-based organisational<br />

structure in the area of corporate communications,<br />

creating a positive organisational climate.<br />

With contemporary, planned internal<br />

communication, our objective is do to more than<br />

inform; we also aim to motivate <strong>and</strong> enthuse<br />

employees <strong>and</strong> stimulate them to increased<br />

productivity while creating a positive atmosphere at<br />

the company. With open, two-way communication<br />

between employees <strong>and</strong> management, we <strong>build</strong><br />

a strong alliance. Employees are informed about<br />

key current events via the intranet. In the weekly<br />

electronic <strong>business</strong> news, we present in detail<br />

the activities of KD Holding Group subsidiaries in<br />

Slovenia. <strong>We</strong> also prepare a bi-weekly publication<br />

in English to inform employees about events at<br />

companies abroad. <strong>We</strong> recognise the importance<br />

of a personal, direct form of communication. <strong>We</strong><br />

therefore prepared a number of conferences <strong>and</strong><br />

consultations last year intended for management<br />

<strong>and</strong> specialist staff within the Group <strong>and</strong> organised<br />

various social events.<br />

External communications<br />

Last year, the Group continued to develop mutually<br />

beneficial <strong>relationships</strong> with important external<br />

publics, such as shareholders, the local community,<br />

decision makers, investors, policyholders <strong>and</strong> other<br />

customers. The different activities of companies<br />

within the Group require a tailored approach to<br />

specific publics. Regular communication with<br />

them has contributed positively to the successful<br />

operations <strong>and</strong> development of the entire Group.


Communication of priority projects of the KD<br />

Holding Group<br />

Last year, the Group continued its cooperation with<br />

the media regarding the communication support of<br />

key projects. The companies of the Group operate in<br />

with clear profiles. <strong>We</strong> therefore give a great deal<br />

of attention to the public positioning of experts for<br />

various areas within the Group.<br />

Internet communications<br />

an extremely competitive environment. It therefore<br />

makes sense to continue proactively communicating<br />

key projects in order to consolidate our market<br />

position. Financial <strong>and</strong> insurance services are, to a<br />

great extent, subject to br<strong>and</strong> recognition. At the KD<br />

Holding Group, we treat every large project as an<br />

opportunity to present the project <strong>and</strong> its benefits<br />

for consumers <strong>and</strong> as an opportunity to <strong>build</strong> our<br />

corporate recognition <strong>and</strong> image.<br />

In 2007, we launched our corporate website,<br />

www.<strong>kd</strong>-<strong>group</strong>.com.<br />

In addition to its new look, the updated website<br />

offers comprehensive information. It includes five<br />

major headings: About the Group, Financial Centre,<br />

Press Room, Social Awareness <strong>and</strong> Employees. The<br />

Group’s more visible web approach has only just<br />

begun. <strong>We</strong> are also planning to update the websites<br />

of individual companies, which will present in detail<br />

Building a “coalition” of journalists<br />

<strong>We</strong> have enhanced our cooperation with editors <strong>and</strong><br />

journalists who regularly monitor economic topics <strong>and</strong><br />

the work of the KD Holding Group. The results of these<br />

activities are not necessarily a direct communication<br />

of a specific contribution, but primarily represent<br />

improved journalistic awareness of individual topics.<br />

Thus the Group clearly demonstrates its corporate<br />

value of openness as a readiness to communicate,<br />

which is the basis for <strong>build</strong>ing positive <strong>relationships</strong><br />

with journalists <strong>and</strong> editors.<br />

Public appearances of key representatives of<br />

the Group<br />

Due to the diversification of the Group’s services, it<br />

was vital to <strong>build</strong> <strong>and</strong> maintain a system of speakers<br />

who make appearances for specialist topics. The<br />

individual activities of the Group require speakers<br />

the products <strong>and</strong> services of our key activities. At<br />

the Group, we are fully aware of new trends in web<br />

media. <strong>We</strong> will therefore provide web content with<br />

new dimensions in 2008.<br />

Communication activities in 2008<br />

In 2008, corporate communication as a strategic<br />

function of the Group will continue to emphasis<br />

success, efficiency, soundness <strong>and</strong> the justification<br />

of <strong>relationships</strong> between the organisation <strong>and</strong> its<br />

stakeholders. The enforcement of the division-based<br />

organisational structure in the area of corporate<br />

communication will be one of the Group’s most<br />

important activities. This will entail coordinating<br />

corporate communication at the division or holding<br />

level <strong>and</strong> entrusting product communication to<br />

individual companies.<br />

Information support<br />

using the system to provide service providers with<br />

comprehensive <strong>and</strong> extremely up-to-date information<br />

Behind us is a vibrant year, in which the KD Holding<br />

Group continued to exp<strong>and</strong>. Thus there was no lack<br />

of challenges in the area of information support.<br />

Information technology today uses advanced<br />

solutions to actively contribute to the creation of<br />

high-quality <strong>business</strong> processes within each specific<br />

company, thereby enabling employees to effectively<br />

pursue the company’s established <strong>business</strong><br />

objectives.<br />

about the status <strong>and</strong> details of voluntary health<br />

insurance. The launch of the new INIS integrated<br />

information system has been somewhat slower than<br />

originally planned, <strong>and</strong> an updated version of the<br />

target information system architecture was therefore<br />

prepared with the aim of mitigating the slower launch<br />

of the new system using new approaches such as a<br />

portal solution for service-oriented architecture (SOA).<br />

In 2008, Adriatic Slovenica will move a step closer to<br />

its target architecture, key elements of which will be<br />

One of the most important IT projects in 2007 was<br />

the installation of a single investment monitoring<br />

a personalised multipurpose portal <strong>and</strong> an integrated<br />

working environment.<br />

system. This system meets the current needs of<br />

84<br />

all key companies, while in the coming years we<br />

expect to exp<strong>and</strong> it to meet the needs of companies<br />

abroad. The chosen solution also offers a number<br />

of risk management tools, which will facilitate better<br />

monitoring <strong>and</strong> control of investment risks throughout<br />

the Group.<br />

Worthy of note at KD BPD was the extensive<br />

adaptation to new legislation (the Financial<br />

Instruments Market Act) <strong>and</strong> the further development<br />

of the company’s key information system with<br />

optimised tools for the best possible client asset<br />

management.<br />

Adriatic Slovenica equipped its network of agents<br />

with portable work stations to facilitate data entry<br />

wherever they are located. The central client register<br />

was upgraded <strong>and</strong> is now linked with all the relevant<br />

transaction systems, offering a comprehensive<br />

overview of the insurance portfolios of each client<br />

at the company. Adriatic Slovenica was also actively<br />

involved in a Health Insurance Institute (ZZZS) project<br />

to directly link the information systems of healthcare<br />

service providers with the systems of the Institute <strong>and</strong><br />

insurers. The purpose of such a solution is to make<br />

data exchange as smooth as possible, with insurers<br />

In 2007, KD Investments (now KD Skladi)<br />

carried out the comprehensive transfer of paper<br />

documentation to electronic format <strong>and</strong> installed<br />

an electronic archive of scanned documents, which<br />

offers an immediate view of all a particular client’s<br />

documents at a single site. This makes work faster<br />

<strong>and</strong> more client-friendly. <strong>We</strong> started to develop new<br />

website <strong>and</strong> other modern services for clients.<br />

Comprehensive risk analysis was also conducted at<br />

the company <strong>and</strong> will form the basis for establishing<br />

an integrated plan for <strong>business</strong> continuity <strong>and</strong> the


ongoing mitigation of all relevant risks. An integral<br />

1.9<br />

Research <strong>and</strong> development<br />

information system was installed at the newly<br />

established management company in Serbia to<br />

provide support for the company’s operations.<br />

Research <strong>and</strong> development in a period of stiff<br />

competition on foreign markets <strong>and</strong> on the single<br />

European Union market is extremely important. In<br />

An IT management system was set up at<br />

KD Življenje according to the ITIL st<strong>and</strong>ard. <strong>We</strong><br />

paid particular attention to the system for managing<br />

changes <strong>and</strong> incidents, for which appropriate<br />

the past, this area has played a significant role in the<br />

Group’s development. In the future, we will reorganise<br />

the research <strong>and</strong> development function <strong>and</strong> further<br />

promote such activities.<br />

information support was also established. In the<br />

software support area, a tool for the development<br />

of online applications in a Java environment was<br />

installed. A strict records application was developed<br />

using the tool. An intranet portal was set up <strong>and</strong> a<br />

document system was established in this framework.<br />

An integral information system was set up at the new<br />

insurer in Ukraine <strong>and</strong> the new representative office<br />

in the Czech Republic.<br />

In the future information technology will be<br />

increasingly linked to the <strong>business</strong> processes at the<br />

companies. Underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>business</strong> <strong>and</strong> familiarity<br />

with technology are two aspects to new <strong>and</strong><br />

increasingly effective solutions, a permanent guide<br />

that we at KD Holding Group will continue to follow.<br />

In asset management, the Group has established<br />

a new sales concept for marketing mutual funds <strong>and</strong><br />

introduced a new sales channel organisation. <strong>We</strong><br />

have begun developing new websites for KD Skladi<br />

<strong>and</strong> other services for contemporary operations with<br />

investors. A great deal of activity was focused on<br />

the start of marketing of KD Skladi mutual funds on<br />

foreign markets <strong>and</strong> on the development of a new<br />

sales method for wealthier customers <strong>and</strong> acredited<br />

investors. Development activities were carried out in<br />

the area of managing investment fund assets <strong>and</strong> with<br />

regard to acredited investors. <strong>We</strong> were also active in<br />

the development of risk management, information<br />

technology <strong>and</strong> with regard to methodologies <strong>and</strong><br />

organisation due to amendments to related legislation.<br />

85<br />

Last year, the Group developed a number of new<br />

products in the area of insurance. At KD Življenje,<br />

we developed new insurance products adapted to<br />

the needs of specific target <strong>group</strong>s <strong>and</strong> enhanced<br />

life insurance linked to Fondpolica investment<br />

funds, which represent the largest proportion of<br />

underwritten insurance in the company’s portfolio.<br />

<strong>We</strong> introduced a new form of life insurance linked


to Fondpolica investment funds with an investment<br />

package. In cooperation with Deutsche bank AG,<br />

we offered the Slovenian <strong>and</strong> foreign markets the<br />

life insurance products Fondpolica Azija Garant<br />

Plus <strong>and</strong> Fondpolica Renta Garant. <strong>We</strong> were the<br />

first Slovenian insurance company to develop<br />

<strong>group</strong> life insurance (Group Life Package), which<br />

is completely comparable with other contemporary<br />

life insurance products across Europe. <strong>We</strong> also<br />

developed a new life insurance product with active<br />

asset management, Fondpolica Dirigent. In addition<br />

developed the new package insurance products,<br />

Mladi, Aktivni <strong>and</strong> Senior, <strong>and</strong> upgraded our offer<br />

for athletes with the packages Vrhunski športnik <strong>and</strong><br />

Športnik. Adriatic Slovenica also played an active<br />

role in the health insurance card project,<br />

KZZ-Online, in which the Health Institute of<br />

Slovenia (ZZZS) established a new information<br />

system that will directly link the information systems<br />

of healthcare service providers with the systems of<br />

the ZZZS <strong>and</strong> insurance companies which provide<br />

supplementary healthcare insurance.<br />

to the aforementioned, we developed two products,<br />

adapted for marketing via the new company,<br />

KD Finančna točka: life insurance linked to the<br />

investments funds of the investment plans KD<br />

Družina <strong>and</strong> KD Pokojnina.<br />

At Adriatic Slovenica, we introduced several new<br />

automobile insurance products <strong>and</strong> supplemented<br />

them with Maxi assistance, completely updated<br />

general liability insurance <strong>and</strong> developed entirely<br />

new credit insurance products, which are based<br />

on insurance for default due to classic insurance<br />

risks <strong>and</strong> cover policyholders against unexpected<br />

events such as death, work disability <strong>and</strong> loss of<br />

employment without fault. Vita Fond investment<br />

packages, Vitafond Azija Garant Plus, Vitafond<br />

Renta Garant in Družinski Paket are new life<br />

insurance products developed in cooperation with<br />

Group members. For borrowers, we prepared<br />

the new Kredit Vita AS, a life insurance product<br />

intended for package sales with new credit<br />

insurance products. In the area of healthcare, we<br />

With regard to sales of financial services, KD<br />

Finančna točka continued developing its own<br />

system for training the sales network. Based<br />

on past experiences <strong>and</strong> needs identified while<br />

conducting training <strong>and</strong> feedback from participants,<br />

we began upgrading the system to a three-level<br />

individual development model in the second half<br />

of 2007: (1) advisor, (2) advisor manager <strong>and</strong> (3)<br />

advisor manager/expert. The objective of training<br />

is to develop <strong>and</strong> strengthen innovative thinking<br />

of the individual in all areas (organisation <strong>and</strong> the<br />

development of people <strong>and</strong> products) to stimulate<br />

the direct contribution of the individual to the<br />

company’s development. KD Finančna točka<br />

also played an active role in the development of<br />

the Fondpolica life insurance products with an<br />

investment package <strong>and</strong> in the development of<br />

Fondpolica Dirigent.


Research <strong>and</strong> development in 2008<br />

rationalisation of operations in the areas of support<br />

services, improving the quality of service with new<br />

In 2008, the KD Holding Group will reorganise its<br />

research <strong>and</strong> development activity through a project<br />

that will be managed by the parent company, KD<br />

Holding. The aim of the project is to increase research<br />

<strong>and</strong> development’s contribution to the future growth<br />

of the company. The main project is divided into<br />

three sub-projects: (1) the introduction of a targeted,<br />

innovative activity, (2) introduction of a so-called<br />

“walking database” system, i.e. a KD Holding Group<br />

knowledge base <strong>and</strong> (3) introduction of a system<br />

of useful proposals. The vision of the research <strong>and</strong><br />

development project is the establishment of a research<br />

<strong>and</strong> development department at the KD Holding Group<br />

which will set the bases for identification <strong>and</strong> work<br />

on key strategic development issues <strong>and</strong> bases for<br />

adequate long-term growth of the Group.<br />

information <strong>and</strong> decision-making tools <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

communication with customers in terms of content<br />

<strong>and</strong> form. In the insurance sector, we will continue<br />

developing new products to maintain our leading<br />

position in this area. Regarding sales of financial<br />

services, we plan to introduce new diverse sales<br />

channels. <strong>We</strong> will also develop a system of recruiting<br />

<strong>and</strong> training international mentors to ensure the<br />

effective transfer of tested effective work, training <strong>and</strong><br />

development processes to foreign markets. One of<br />

the Group’s main development projects in 2008 will<br />

undoubtedly be the establishment <strong>and</strong> development of<br />

a new bank. Banking services will compliment other<br />

insurance <strong>and</strong> financial products <strong>and</strong> bring the KD<br />

Holding Group’s range of products <strong>and</strong> services full<br />

circle.<br />

87<br />

Subsidiaries will also continue with projects to develop<br />

new products <strong>and</strong> services tailored to the needs of<br />

consumers, which will facilitate the continued growth<br />

of the Group in Slovenia <strong>and</strong> throughout the region.<br />

In the area of asset management, development<br />

activities will be primarily focused on the development<br />

of methodologies, sales techniques <strong>and</strong> new<br />

sales channels, as well as the modernisation <strong>and</strong><br />

development of information technology. In addition<br />

to the development of funds, in particular the fund<br />

of funds, we intend to give special attention to the<br />

development of asset management services for<br />

acredited investors in Slovenia <strong>and</strong> abroad. <strong>We</strong> will<br />

continue developing the information system for the

Report on the corporate social<br />

responsibility of the KD Holding<br />

Group<br />

90<br />

In addition to good performance, one of the Group’s<br />

most important objectives is to create a pleasant but<br />

stimulating work environment for all employees <strong>and</strong><br />

a responsible <strong>and</strong> reliable partnership with its social<br />

environment.<br />

<strong>We</strong> are aware that we are inseparably linked to the<br />

environment in which we operate. Close relations<br />

with the local community represent an opportunity<br />

for development, but also entail responsibility, as<br />

our <strong>business</strong> has far-reaching consequences. Our<br />

concern <strong>and</strong> sensitivity for the social <strong>and</strong> natural<br />

environment is realised in cooperation with the<br />

local <strong>and</strong> the wider community. <strong>We</strong> strive to act<br />

in concert with them to create <strong>and</strong> improve the<br />

environment in which we live <strong>and</strong> work.<br />

Employees<br />

At the KD Holding Group, we are aware that<br />

social responsibility begins with our treatment<br />

of employees. <strong>We</strong> encourage innovation <strong>and</strong><br />

cooperation <strong>and</strong> provide support for education <strong>and</strong><br />

development. Our concern for employees’ social<br />

security needs is reflected in our collective voluntary<br />

supplementary pension insurance, which is offered<br />

to all interested employees. <strong>We</strong> are introducing the<br />

concept of a family-friendly company at the Group,<br />

which will allow parents to take advantage of<br />

shorter hours or shared hours <strong>and</strong> other significant<br />

adaptations. Our focus on our employees is<br />

presented in greater detail in the section on Human<br />

resources management.<br />

Natural environment<br />

The principle activities of KD Holding Group<br />

companies are not directly linked to environmental<br />

impacts. However, in our everyday activities we<br />

act responsibly by saving electricity <strong>and</strong> separating<br />

waste. <strong>We</strong> also consider the environmental aspect<br />

in our investments. Thus in 2006, KD Investments<br />

(today KD Skladi) established KD Nova energija,<br />

an equity mutual fund that primarily invests in<br />

companies in the renewable energy sector.<br />

Social environment<br />

Our concern for the social environment is primarily<br />

reflected in our sponsorship activities <strong>and</strong> donations.<br />

<strong>We</strong> direct our sponsorship towards activities that<br />

contribute to social development, particularly<br />

culture <strong>and</strong> sport. Sponsorship demonstrates <strong>and</strong><br />

communicates a clear link with our corporate values<br />

of trust, openness <strong>and</strong> respect for equality.<br />

Culture <strong>and</strong> education<br />

At the KD Holding Group, we give a great deal of<br />

significance to supporting culture <strong>and</strong> education.<br />

<strong>We</strong> have cultivated long-term partnerships with


cultural institutions <strong>and</strong> with individuals <strong>and</strong> have<br />

invested in a number of educational projects.<br />

KD Holding supported the publication of Vitomil<br />

Zupan’s collection of poetry Pesmi s prostosti, was<br />

involved in the exhibition Delo slovenskih slikarjev<br />

(Works of Slovenian Painters) at the Ljubljana<br />

Town Hall organised by the Institute of Sculpture,<br />

<strong>and</strong> purchased a work by Aleš Lenassi entitled<br />

Oba (Both). <strong>We</strong> were again involved as sponsor<br />

in the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute competition for<br />

the OHO Group prize <strong>and</strong> purchased the winning<br />

entry. Other events we supported again were the<br />

Cerkno Jazz Festival <strong>and</strong> the Days of Comedy at the<br />

cooperation with Ljubljana’s University Medical<br />

Centre <strong>and</strong> the Zveza prijateljev mladine<br />

(Association of Friends of Youth), they are actively<br />

stimulating children’s interest in the art of puppetry<br />

<strong>and</strong> opening the doors to hospitals, institutions<br />

<strong>and</strong> foundations where children live far from the<br />

joys of a carefree childhood. <strong>We</strong> are aware that<br />

for most children, puppets are their first contact<br />

with theatre. Numerous kindergartens <strong>and</strong> primary<br />

schools from all over Slovenia were taken to puppet<br />

performances, many of them enjoying shows in<br />

their own local area, particularly those in the more<br />

remote parts of the country.<br />

Celje Public Theatre. <strong>We</strong> supported the permanent<br />

exhibition about Oton Župančič at the City Museum.<br />

In cooperation with the Slovenian Bralna značka<br />

(Reading Badge) project, we purchased books<br />

to allow first <strong>and</strong> second grade students in<br />

less-wealthy<br />

regions to get their first picture book,<br />

Levstik’s Martin Krpan, with illustrations by Hinko<br />

Smrekar, thus helping to spread the culture of<br />

reading among the young.<br />

<strong>We</strong> also helped the <strong>group</strong> Želve, which operates<br />

under the aegis of the Third Age University, to<br />

publish a collection of works, thus confirming our<br />

commitment to <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the older<br />

members of society.<br />

<strong>We</strong> assumed the role of central sponsor of the EFA<br />

<strong>and</strong> EISB conferences at the Faculty of Economics<br />

in Ljubljana.<br />

The insurance company KD Življenje has been<br />

working with the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre on<br />

strategy <strong>and</strong> <strong>business</strong> for three years now. In<br />

<strong>We</strong> are continuing our work with the RTV Slovenija<br />

Symphony Orchestra as its general sponsor in the<br />

2007/2008 season, a sign of our appreciation of<br />

its artists, mission <strong>and</strong> immense cultural relevance.<br />

Our support went to an exceptional concert season,<br />

which featured numerous distinguished soloists <strong>and</strong><br />

conductors, including the piano virtuoso Ivo Pogorelić.<br />

In 2007, KD Življenje organised a major family<br />

event at the Postojna Cave called Day of Culture<br />

<strong>and</strong> Attractions. Together with our partners, the<br />

Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, RTV Slovenija, Slovenske<br />

Novice <strong>and</strong> Postojnska jama, we arranged a fun,<br />

family day for more than 2,000 visitors. Children<br />

<strong>and</strong> their parents were able to watch a puppet show<br />

<strong>and</strong> a performance by Romana Kranjčan, while<br />

the caves hosted the RTV Slovenija Big B<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Alenka Gotar. There was also a rich programme of<br />

accompanying attractions.<br />

Adriatic Slovenica cooperates with the Ljubljana<br />

Festival, Koper Theatre, Koper School of Music, <strong>and</strong><br />

the University of Primorska in the area of culture<br />

<strong>and</strong> education. The Ljubljana Festival’s excellent<br />

programme is making it one of Europe’s prime<br />

cultural destinations, while the Koper Theatre <strong>and</strong><br />

Koper School of Music are established institutions<br />

in the company’s home town <strong>and</strong> long-st<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

partners of the insurer that offer a real quality of<br />

culture. Our long-term support of the University<br />

of Primorska since its very inception has been<br />

aimed at establishing high-quality, competitive<br />

<strong>and</strong> advanced education programmes, <strong>and</strong> at<br />

contributing to education projects at the University.<br />

100,000 copies of four issues of a newspaper with<br />

the same name, with the campaign reaching a total<br />

of 270,000 people.<br />

Humanitarian activities<br />

<strong>We</strong> organise blood drives at the KD Holding Group,<br />

as we want our employees to get actively involved<br />

in humanitarian projects. Last year also saw the<br />

Let’s Show Solidarity campaign, in which employees<br />

collected money for their fellow citizens in Železniki<br />

who were affected by the disastrous weather in<br />

September. KD Holding doubled the money<br />

collected by its employees.<br />

Adriatic Slovenica has been working on two major<br />

new projects in road safety education since 2007.<br />

Their main purpose is to increase driver awareness<br />

of the importance of safe driving, with drivers<br />

invited to test their knowledge of safe driving on<br />

the internet. The Z glavo na zabavo (Party Smart)<br />

foundation is a project that the company first<br />

supported in 2007. It focuses on warning of the<br />

dangers of alcohol consumption among the young,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the incompatibility of alcohol with safe driving.<br />

More than 40 events have been held as part of the<br />

project, calling for better health <strong>and</strong> a more active<br />

approach to free time among the young. <strong>We</strong> have<br />

also been actively involved in NE-ODVISEN.SI, a<br />

campaign to raise awareness of the consequences<br />

of different forms of dependence in the Primorska<br />

region supported by 23 local municipalities.<br />

The project covered more than 140 primary <strong>and</strong><br />

secondary schools <strong>and</strong> kindergartens, <strong>and</strong> produced<br />

Adriatic Slovenica showed maximum engagement<br />

in the worst-affected areas in the Celje <strong>and</strong><br />

Gorenjska regions. The money was earmarked for<br />

the municipality of Vojnik for repairing damaged<br />

roads, the aid coming as a joint contribution from<br />

the company <strong>and</strong> its employees, who volunteered to<br />

take part in the campaign.<br />

KD Holding also works with UNICEF, helping<br />

children in some of the world’s poorest regions. <strong>We</strong><br />

supported Some of Them, a music video project<br />

aimed at collecting money for long-term programmes<br />

for helping children. In cooperation with its Bosnian<br />

subsidiary ABDS, KD Holding organised holidays<br />

at Debeli Rtič for a <strong>group</strong> of Bosnian children from<br />

under-privileged families via BH4, the<br />

Bosnia-Herzegovina student society in Slovenia.


The main focus at Adriatic Slovenica remains<br />

the support of healthcare. The company works<br />

closely with health service providers <strong>and</strong> supports<br />

education <strong>and</strong> initiatives contributing to the progress<br />

<strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ing of the medical profession. As the<br />

Federation for many years now. KD Holding also<br />

supported societies <strong>and</strong> individuals from the worlds of<br />

gymnastics, motor sports <strong>and</strong> football (including ŠD<br />

Trnovo, AMD Šentvid pri Stični, NK Ormož <strong>and</strong> NK<br />

Kolpa).<br />

principal sponsor, it again supported the national<br />

My Doctor campaign, in which more than 14,000<br />

health service users were involved in selecting the<br />

best, most respected physicians in the country.<br />

At the end of the year, the money that had been set<br />

aside for holiday gifts was donated to institutions<br />

with a social mission, particular in the healthcare<br />

sector. Gifts were presented to the general hospital<br />

in Novo Mesto, the kindergarten in Kranj, a welfare<br />

KD Skladi has continued to work with the Tacen<br />

Kayak-Canoe Club <strong>and</strong> also provided support to the<br />

Federation of Skating Sports <strong>and</strong> the AŠD water polo<br />

club in Koper. Together with the Biosfera society, we<br />

sponsored a project aimed at revitalising the Ljubljanica<br />

River. In the spring <strong>and</strong> summer months, the project<br />

organised free canoe hire for <strong>group</strong>s accompanied by a<br />

guide, as well as a number of fun competitions.<br />

work centre in Stara Gora, medical centres in<br />

Sežana, Murska Sobota <strong>and</strong> Hrastnik, the University<br />

Medical Centre in Ljubljana, under-privileged<br />

inhabitants of the City of Maribor, <strong>and</strong> the Elvira<br />

Vatovec Training Centre in Strunjan.<br />

<strong>We</strong> continued UNICEF Slovenia’s Safe Points project<br />

in 2007, thus contributing to greater safety for<br />

children <strong>and</strong> adolescents in major urban areas. In<br />

its second year of support for the project, all the<br />

offices of Adriatic Slovenica <strong>and</strong> their employees<br />

were involved as safe points.<br />

Sport<br />

Our support for a variety of sporting activities is aimed at<br />

spreading the idea of the active <strong>and</strong> sociable enjoyment<br />

of free time. <strong>We</strong> work with sports clubs throughout<br />

Slovenia. KD Holding, KD Življenje <strong>and</strong> Adriatic<br />

Slovenica have been supporting the Slovenian Chess<br />

KD Življenje supported the Rog Cycling Society <strong>and</strong><br />

is a major sponsor of the family marathon as part of<br />

the Barcaffe Franja Marathon. <strong>We</strong> also supported the<br />

children’s race at the Ljubljanica Triathlon, a major<br />

sporting event.<br />

Adriatic Slovenica’s support for sport is diverse, but<br />

since 1993 the majority of its assistance has gone to<br />

top athletes <strong>and</strong> Olympic representatives, in cooperation<br />

with the Slovenian Olympic Committee. One recipient of<br />

its support is Vasilij Žbogar,<br />

a sailor from Izola who won a gold medal at the Athens<br />

Olympic games. It also provided significant support to<br />

national sporting federations, including the Slovenian<br />

FA <strong>and</strong> the Horseracing Federation <strong>and</strong> a number of<br />

different sports, societies <strong>and</strong> clubs.<br />

These include the Cimos Koper H<strong>and</strong>ball Club, Koper<br />

Basketball Club, Triglav Kranj Skiing Club, Izola Sailing<br />

Club <strong>and</strong> the Portorož Sporting Society.<br />

Corporate social responsibility in 2008<br />

The Group will continue to provide sponsorship for<br />

culture, education <strong>and</strong> sport in 2008, in keeping<br />

with our established policies.<br />

In the area of donations <strong>and</strong> humanitarian activities,<br />

our aims are even higher in 2008. The Group<br />

established the AJDA Foundation back in 1995 to<br />

support the financially <strong>and</strong> socially disadvantaged.<br />

The purpose of the Foundation was to fund the<br />

education of children of farmers <strong>and</strong> investors in<br />

KD funds or their children <strong>and</strong> those with aboveaverage<br />

results, but an under-privileged social<br />

background. Careful monitoring of the situation<br />

revealed that the Foundation’s original purpose<br />

had become too narrow. <strong>We</strong> will continue to<br />

support education, but with the establishment of<br />

the KD Fundacija Foundation in 2008 we intend<br />

95<br />

to <strong>build</strong> on our previous objectives <strong>and</strong> set a wider<br />

approach. The Foundation will fund talented youth<br />

in various areas of schooling, science <strong>and</strong> sport who<br />

have made progress in the aforementioned fields.<br />

It will provide financial support for young people<br />

from under-privileged families, providing them better<br />

conditions for education. Via material <strong>and</strong> financial<br />

donations, the Foundation will help less wealthy<br />

regions of Slovenia to encourage <strong>and</strong> provide<br />

education. In the event of natural disasters or other<br />

extensive catastrophes, the Foundation will quickly<br />

respond with financial support or other resources<br />

in keeping with the needs of those affected. The<br />

KD Fundacija Foundation will also be active in the<br />

organisation of charitable campaigns for mobilising<br />

material <strong>and</strong> financial resources.

Asset management<br />

The Group’s asset management is divided into:<br />

investment fund management,<br />

private wealth management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking.<br />

which included 24 investment funds <strong>and</strong> two<br />

investment companies at year-end within the KD<br />

Holding Group.<br />

The Group currently manages 24 funds <strong>and</strong> two<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

investment companies as part of its investment<br />

fund management. KD Investments (now KD<br />

Skladi) is the leading asset management company<br />

in Slovenia, managing 12 mutual funds <strong>and</strong> one<br />

investment company. In the region, the Group<br />

manages four mutual funds in Croatia, three in<br />

Romania, two mutual funds <strong>and</strong> one investment<br />

company in Bulgaria, two mutual funds in Slovakia<br />

<strong>and</strong> one in Serbia. <strong>We</strong> are planning to enter the<br />

Macedonian market in 2008.<br />

Private wealth management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking<br />

is becoming an increasingly important <strong>business</strong><br />

activity for the Group. It is gaining strength both<br />

in Slovenia <strong>and</strong> abroad, where the Group has<br />

companies in Bulgaria, Croatia <strong>and</strong> Romania.<br />

Investment fund management<br />

Mutual funds remain the key product for the<br />

KD Holding Group. Our core strategy is to offer<br />

investors, primarily from South Eastern Europe,<br />

the widest possible selection of investment<br />

opportunities, while also providing comprehensive<br />

investment opportunities in the region to investors<br />

from around the world. This is also the guiding<br />

principle for growth in the investment fund portfolio,<br />

Assets under management in all mutual funds<br />

grew by nearly 50 percent, or by over EUR 333<br />

million, exceeding the magic billion euro threshold<br />

(EUR 1,002.4 million) by the end of the year.<br />

At year-end, our investment funds had over 93<br />

thous<strong>and</strong> investors.<br />

<strong>We</strong> again confirmed our acknowledged<br />

management excellence, with the majority of funds<br />

(17) exceeding benchmark indices <strong>and</strong> all but one<br />

closing the year with positive returns.<br />

In the key region of South Eastern Europe, we<br />

opened a new asset management company, KD<br />

Investments in Belgrade, Serbia.<br />

Two new funds were added to our global<br />

product range - KD Nova Europa (in Croatia) <strong>and</strong><br />

KD Ekskluziv (in Serbia).<br />

The start-up of operations in the life insurance<br />

division abroad (Romania, Bulgaria, <strong>and</strong> Slovakia)<br />

has provided a significant distribution channel.<br />

Due to the withdrawal of a partner company<br />

(SEB Fund Services) from the region <strong>and</strong> the<br />

subsequent end to our cooperation <strong>and</strong> the<br />

assessment that our investment funds offer<br />

customers a sufficiently broad selection of quality<br />

products, we decided to liquidate the company KD<br />

DeLux <strong>and</strong> its four sub-funds.<br />

investment asset management company in<br />

Slovenia;<br />

To supplement our existing range of mutual fund<br />

products <strong>and</strong> services with various geographic <strong>and</strong><br />

sector-oriented investment policies;<br />

To continue the diligent management of the<br />

company’s mutual fund br<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> increase<br />

activities to raise the awareness thereof;<br />

To increase activities related to the marketing of<br />

products to acredited investors;<br />

To focus a great deal of attention on aligning<br />

the company’s operations, investment funds <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>relationships</strong> with investors due to legislative<br />

changes;<br />

Pursuant to the KD Holding Group’s mission,<br />

our primary objective remains the satisfaction of<br />

investors. <strong>We</strong> will achieve this through efficient<br />

operations, a professionally trained sales network<br />

<strong>and</strong>, above all, a competitive <strong>and</strong> high-quality range<br />

of products <strong>and</strong> services that will be of interest to<br />

existing <strong>and</strong> new investors.<br />

At the end of 2007, investments in Slovenia<br />

(52 percent), the United Kingdom (10 percent),<br />

Germany (8 percent) <strong>and</strong> Croatia (8 percent)<br />

represented the largest proportion of the mutual<br />

fund’s assets.<br />

Two factors resulted in an increase in the<br />

proportion of Slovenian securities in 2007: the<br />

above-average returns of securities compared to<br />

other key investment regions (the Slovenian stock<br />

exchange index, the SBI20, rose by 78.1 percent<br />

in 2007), <strong>and</strong> due to new, favourable purchase<br />

opportunities.<br />

In the autumn, KD Galileo took part in a public<br />

tender of Nova kreditna banka Maribor shares,<br />

acquiring the most shares of any mutual fund.<br />

Due to more favourable conditions on the debt<br />

securities market of the EU15, the proportion of<br />

bonds from Slovenian issuers fell in 2007, while the<br />

proportion of bonds of issuers from the EU15 rose.<br />

Due to positive changes in equity security<br />

prices, the proportion thereof rose in 2007 in<br />

comparison with the proportion of debt securities.<br />

KD Rastko<br />

- an equity mutual fund<br />

At the end of 2007, 63 percent of the KD<br />

Rastko equity mutual fund’s assets were invested<br />

in Slovenian securities, followed by 9 percent in<br />

German securities, 6 percent in Croatian securities<br />

<strong>and</strong> 5 percent in securities from UK issuers.<br />

In 2007, the SBI20, the Slovenian stock market<br />

index, gained 78.1 percent, while the DAX30, the<br />

core German stock market index, <strong>and</strong> the Croatian<br />

CROBEX share index rose by 22.3 percent <strong>and</strong><br />

63.2 percent, respectively. This had a positive<br />

impact on growth in the fund’s unit price.<br />

Contributing to the growth in the proportion<br />

of Slovenian securities in KD Rastko compared to<br />

2006 were the purchase of Nova kreditna banka<br />

Maribor shares <strong>and</strong> favourable developments on the<br />

Slovenian stock exchange.<br />

received the “Zlati V” (Gold V) award from the<br />

- a bond mutual fund<br />

The KD Bond mutual fund is intended for<br />

investors looking for a safer investment with a<br />

better (or at least equal) return than classic forms of<br />

savings. Fixed-yield securities represent the majority<br />

of the fund’s investments.<br />

Growth in interest rates on key capital markets<br />

slowed in 2007, resulting in improved conditions on<br />

the debt security market. As a consequence, mood<br />

on the bond market improved compared to 2006.<br />

At the end of 2007, investments in Slovenian<br />

debt securities (56 percent), followed by<br />

investments in UK (21 percent) <strong>and</strong> German (11<br />

percent) debt securities, represented the most<br />

significant proportion of the mutual fund’s portfolio.<br />

The proportion of bonds rose by 4 percentage<br />

points compared to 2006 to 73 percent of the<br />

fund’s portfolio. The proportion of shares rose 5<br />

In the first half of 2007, securities prices on key<br />

Balkan capital markets rose significantly,<br />

as reflected by inflows into mutual funds. In the


second half of the year, prices began falling on<br />

Balkan markets, driven to a great extent by the<br />

worsening political situation in that area of South<br />

Eastern Europe, resulting in a decrease in inflows of<br />

The fund increased investments in the securities<br />

of Russian <strong>and</strong> Chinese companies in the second<br />

half of 2007. By the end of the year, this decision<br />

proved to be correct.<br />

KD Prosperita<br />

- an equity-bond mutual fund<br />

The KD Prosperita equity-bond mutual fund was the<br />

best performing balanced mutual fund in Slovakia in<br />

2007.<br />

The fund’s assets are primarily invested in the<br />

shares, bonds <strong>and</strong> other financial instruments of<br />

companies from Central <strong>and</strong> Eastern Europe. The<br />

fund’s flexible investment policy permits the proportion<br />

of shares, bonds <strong>and</strong> other financial instruments to fall<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

to 50 percent, making it easier to achieve investment<br />

KD Prosperita ranked among most successful<br />

balanced funds on the Slovak market.<br />

Distribution to the Czech market, which started in<br />

2006, began to increase.<br />

The volume of assets under management in our<br />

funds increased by more than 2.5 times (to over EUR<br />

16.5 million), while the number of investors more<br />

than doubled.<br />

Challenges in 2008:<br />

Feasibility study on distribution to neighbouring<br />

Central European markets;<br />

Addition of new distribution channels, with<br />

special emphasis on banks, brokerage houses <strong>and</strong><br />

agent <strong>networks</strong>;<br />

Cooperation with the KD Life fund <strong>and</strong> support<br />

of its efforts for cross-border sales of unit-linked life<br />

insurance in Slovakia;<br />

objectives.<br />

The fund generated very positive returns in 2007.<br />

Following negative developments on international<br />

financial markets, the fund rebounded at the end of<br />

the year. Central, Southern <strong>and</strong> Eastern Europe remain<br />

attractive for investors, as the countries in the region are<br />

still achieving solid economic growth, while companies<br />

are favourably valued.<br />

KD Russia<br />

- an equity mutual fund<br />

The assets of the KD Russia mutual fund are<br />

primarily invested in equity securities <strong>and</strong> other financial<br />

instruments traded on the markets of the Russian<br />

Federation <strong>and</strong> the former Soviet Union.<br />

The Russian stock market achieved several record<br />

highs in 2007 <strong>and</strong> ended the year close to record<br />

levels, as evidenced by the fund’s operations.<br />

Despite international conditions still affected by<br />

the US market, our expectations for 2008 are positive.<br />

There are no shocks on the political stage, as the<br />

presidential election in March 2008 went smoothly,<br />

according to expectations. Although the prices of energy<br />

With two additional open-ended funds introduced<br />

to the market at the end of 2006 (the balanced<br />

mutual fund KD Optimus <strong>and</strong> KD MultiFond, the<br />

Romanian KD Investments now covers a range of<br />

investment strategies for investing in Romania, <strong>and</strong><br />

therefore offers the widest range of funds of any local<br />

fund provider in Romania.<br />

<strong>We</strong> considerably extended our distribution<br />

channel network.<br />

<strong>We</strong> increased focus on local institutional investors<br />

that have contributed significantly to increasing the<br />

total volume of assets under management by almost<br />

80 percent (to over EUR 13 million).<br />

partnerships with local institutional investors <strong>and</strong><br />

In a very successful 2007, we gained the trust of<br />

90 new customers in Slovenia, introduced an increased<br />

the market <strong>and</strong> increased payments into funds by 29<br />

percent compared to the previous year.<br />

In terms of the number of customers <strong>and</strong> volume of<br />

assets entrusted for management, we are one of the top<br />

Slovenian brokerage houses <strong>and</strong> banks providing these<br />

Private wealth management has been established<br />

as a key product abroad as well: at the end of the year<br />

we were managing the assets of almost 350 customers<br />

in three countries, with a total value of approximately<br />

EUR 11 million.<br />

<strong>We</strong> successfully maintained <strong>and</strong> improved private<br />

wealth management services as the basic pillar of our<br />

All companies abroad involved in stockbroking<br />

services successfully increased their market share.<br />

Benjamin Jošar, President of Management Board<br />

In 2007, we placed a great deal of focus on the<br />

continued improvement of management processes.<br />

Group management, introduced in 2006, was<br />

further strengthened <strong>and</strong> enhanced last year.<br />

<strong>We</strong> also began selecting <strong>and</strong> testing programme<br />

solutions for management support <strong>and</strong> continued<br />

Asset management<br />

CFA training.<br />

KD BPD managed in 2007 the funds of the asset<br />

Private wealth management<br />

management company KD Investments (now KD<br />

Skladi). In 2007, 12 mutual funds <strong>and</strong> the KD ID<br />

investment company were managed in this manner.<br />

The past year was successful for our investors.<br />

Assets under management grew by 48.7 percent<br />

in 2007, which can be attributed to the returns<br />

generated, as well as net inflows. In the second half<br />

of the year, the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the<br />

USA increased volatility on global capital markets.<br />

The increased political uncertainty regarding the<br />

resolution of Kosovo’s status also had an impact<br />

on Balkan markets. In 2008, we expect the<br />

cooling of global economic growth to lead to more<br />

difficult conditions on capital markets. <strong>We</strong> believe<br />

however that these conditions will provide further<br />

opportunities for our management team to prove<br />

their level of professionalism <strong>and</strong> expertise.<br />

In addition to the funds of KD Skladi, the asset<br />

Private wealth management is becoming a more<br />

desirable <strong>and</strong> sought-after way of investing available<br />

surplus assets. This reflects changing savings<br />

habits, investment decisions <strong>and</strong> a more<br />

capital-oriented investment approach from investors<br />

in the future. In the three years since private wealth<br />

management was first provided by the company, we<br />

have ensured that investment opportunities offered<br />

have been continually updated. <strong>We</strong> are introducing<br />

new investment policies, more closely tailored to<br />

clients in terms of risk, as they are adapted to their<br />

investment <strong>and</strong> savings habits.<br />

Investment performance <strong>and</strong> vision<br />

Despite poorer returns on global capital markets at<br />

the end of 2007 (due to the mortgage crisis <strong>and</strong><br />

liquidity shocks), we successfully achieved a 15.40<br />

percent return on assets in 2007, as we managed<br />

to invest primarily in developing markets that were<br />

not directly affected by the negative consequences<br />

of the mortgage crisis. The economies of these<br />

countries are achieving above-average growth,<br />

which permits an optimistic view of growth <strong>and</strong><br />

development for these markets in the future.<br />

<strong>We</strong> introduced investment consultancy services<br />

for major customers, offering useful information to<br />

facilitate investment decision-making.


<strong>We</strong> successfully responded to Slovenia’s first year<br />

with the euro <strong>and</strong> increased the number of customers<br />

on the growing domestic market <strong>and</strong> on all foreign<br />

markets. <strong>We</strong> formed a new partnership in Romania,<br />

started discussions in Serbia, <strong>and</strong> renewed our<br />

Market position<br />

The Group’s two insurance companies achieved<br />

a market share of 17 percent in Slovenia, firmly<br />

establishing it in second position on the Slovenian<br />

insurance market. In 2007, the Group collected<br />

EUR 307.9 million in premiums.<br />

<strong>and</strong> marketing life insurance in other countries<br />

at branches of KD Življenje <strong>and</strong> at independently<br />

established insurance companies.<br />

In 2007, the Group actively operated abroad<br />

insurance companies collected over a million EUR<br />

in total premiums.<br />

of products <strong>and</strong> services, developed new packages<br />

<strong>and</strong> more specialised products for individual<br />

target <strong>group</strong>s, modernised sales channels <strong>and</strong><br />

Features of the Slovenian insurance market in<br />

2007<br />

Structure of property insurance premiums (excluding<br />

health insurance) within the Group by insurance type:<br />

Legislative changes, which followed adaptations to<br />

EU guidelines, characterised 2007, while the year<br />

was also marked by loss events.<br />

In health insurance, a number of legislative<br />

amendments came into force, which led to Adriatic<br />

Slovenica paying out EUR 11.8 million in old-age<br />

provisions to 276 thous<strong>and</strong> policyholders. The<br />

collection of these provisions was terminated by the<br />

law <strong>and</strong> included in full in supplementary health<br />

insurance equalisation schemes on 30 September<br />

2007, as the legally-defined transition period for<br />

150<br />

equalisation ended at that time.<br />

Catastrophic storms <strong>and</strong> floods in September<br />

characterised loss events in the area of property<br />

insurance. These caused extensive property<br />

damage, exceeding EUR 200 million, including<br />

EUR 2.9 million from Adriatic Slovenica claimants,<br />

although adequate reinsurance meant there was no<br />

significant impact on the company’s results.<br />

Motor liability insurance 40%<br />

L<strong>and</strong> motor vehicle insurance 25%<br />

Accident insurance 14%<br />

Fire <strong>and</strong> natural disaster insurance 7%<br />

Other insurance against loss <strong>and</strong> damage 6%<br />

Within the Group, property insurance is marketed in<br />

Slovenia by Adriatic Slovenica. Collected premiums<br />

totalled EUR 114.3 million, representing growth of 4.35<br />

percent compared to 2006.<br />

Health insurance<br />

Health insurance is offered within the Group by<br />

Adriatic Slovenica, which recorded premium growth of<br />

14.3 percent in 2007 compared to the previous year,<br />

collecting EUR 89.5 million in premiums. Adriatic<br />

Slovenica has achieved an almost 24 percent share of<br />

the Slovenian supplementary health insurance market,<br />

while its share of the above-st<strong>and</strong>ard health insurance<br />

market is over 50 percent.


Structure of health insurance premiums within the Group<br />

by insurance type:<br />

collected EUR 74.1 million in premiums. Life<br />

insurance was marketed abroad by KD Življenje<br />

in the Czech Republic <strong>and</strong> through a branch in<br />

Slovakia <strong>and</strong> by KD Life Romania <strong>and</strong> KD Life<br />

Bulgaria in their respective countries.<br />

Structure of life insurance within the Group by insurance<br />

Life insurance<br />

Gross life insurance premiums have been growing<br />

for a number of years. Last year, total premiums<br />

collected by insurance companies were 16.3<br />

percent higher than the previous year. The main<br />

Unit-linked life insurance 79%<br />

Mixed <strong>and</strong> risk-cover life insurance 20%<br />

Voluntary supplementary pension insurance 1%<br />

reason is the considerable success in the marketing<br />

of new life insurance products, primarily insurance<br />

in which policyholders assume the investment risk.<br />

Given the 13.7 percent growth in life insurance<br />

in Slovenia in 2007 <strong>and</strong> the 16.3 percent rise<br />

in 2006, the Slovenian life insurance market is<br />

growing at a faster pace than in other EU Member<br />

States (growth in the EU-15 was 12.8 percent).<br />

In 2007, life insurance was marketed within the<br />

Group by two insurance companies in Slovenia:<br />

KD Življenje <strong>and</strong> Adriatic Slovenica, which together

Mira Koporčič Veljič, Member of the Management<br />

Board<br />

KD Kapital was established on 1 July 2007 <strong>and</strong><br />

its capital increased on 27 July 2007 with a 100<br />

percent contribution in kind from KD Holding.<br />

In 2007, KD Kapital generated net profit from<br />

operations of EUR 1.217 million. The company had<br />

8 employees as at 1 January 2008.<br />

Private equity fund<br />

The fund’s investment policy will involve the<br />

purchase of majority stakes in fast-growing<br />

companies not yet identified by strategic <strong>and</strong><br />

large financial investors but which could become<br />

interesting to such investors with adequate growth.<br />

With the establishment of KD Kapital, we separated<br />

the management of non-listed investments <strong>and</strong><br />

specific significant shares of listed investments from<br />

strategic <strong>and</strong> net portfolios of listed investments.


Investment strategy<br />

The amount invested in selected fast-growing<br />

companies will be between EUR 2 <strong>and</strong> EUR 10<br />

million.<br />

The fund’s geographic structure is focused on<br />

Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia <strong>and</strong> Herzegovina, Serbia,<br />

Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldavia <strong>and</strong><br />

Albania, with an emphasis on the countries of the<br />

former Yugoslavia.<br />

The fund will strive to gain access to companies with<br />

the ability to become leaders in a specific niche or on a<br />

particular market through their products <strong>and</strong> services.<br />

Investments will be focused on companies from<br />

the fields of financial services, distribution <strong>and</strong><br />

logistics, communications <strong>and</strong> media, healthcare<br />

Challenges in 2008:<br />

To make at least three investments;<br />

To attract additional investors to the fund.<br />

Closed-end investment funds in South<br />

Eastern Europe<br />

KD Kapital owned two subsidiaries among<br />

management companies established in the<br />

privatisation process in the Federation of Bosnia <strong>and</strong><br />

Herzegovina, the Republic of Srpska <strong>and</strong> Montenegro:<br />

A stake of 80.5 percent in KD Mont a. d.,<br />

Podgorica which manages the investment fund MIG;<br />

A stake of 51.0 percent in VIB a. d., Banja Luka<br />

which manages the investment fund VIB.<br />

<strong>and</strong> environmental protection. Investments will<br />

focus on small <strong>and</strong> medium-sized enterprises with<br />

annual revenues of between EUR 5 <strong>and</strong> EUR 75<br />

million.<br />

By providing capital <strong>and</strong> maintaining an active<br />

management policy, the fund’s managers aim to<br />

increase the value of these companies <strong>and</strong> prepare<br />

them for sale to strategic investors.<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

The fund began operating in 2007 <strong>and</strong> acquired<br />

liabilities in the amount of EUR 31 million.<br />

The largest investor is KD Holding while other<br />

investors are primarily Slovenian banks <strong>and</strong> the Swiss<br />

fund SECO. In 2007, the fund established an office in the<br />

area of investing <strong>and</strong> reviewed more than 120 potential<br />

investments.<br />

As at 31 December 2007, the company<br />

ABDS d. d. was managed by KD Kapital on behalf<br />

of KD Investments (now KD Skladi) which owned a<br />

58.79 percent stake. ABDS manages the investment<br />

fund BIG. KD Kapital purchased ABDS from KD<br />

Skladi in 2008 (15 February 2008).<br />

KD Kapital also holds direct investments in the<br />

following privatisation funds:<br />

A 12.13 percent stake held directly in BIG <strong>and</strong><br />

17.01 percent of shares of MIG.<br />

Significant stakes in these management companies<br />

enable KD Kapital to actively participate in their<br />

management. The total value of the three investment<br />

funds was EUR 126 million as at 31 December 2007.<br />

Based on the management companies’ reports, the<br />

net value of the funds was EUR 220 million.<br />

With the transformation of the privatisation<br />

investment fund MIG into Fond zajedničkih ulaganja<br />

opportunities have been open since 2005. The fund<br />

continued its successful operations in 2007.<br />

or domestic markets, in securities listed on organised<br />

stock markets, in real estate <strong>and</strong> deposits.<br />

investment fund in accordance with local legislation.<br />

Consolidation of the ownership structure has facilitated<br />

the quality management of investments within the fund,<br />

together with the execution of investment activities. The<br />

investment structure of the fund is appropriately adapted<br />

to the requirements for transforming the privatisation<br />

fund into a closed-end investment fund.<br />

EUR 1 million. The value of purchases in 2007 was<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

In 2007, CVŠ (Centre for Higher Education) carried<br />

out part-time higher-education study programmes to<br />

obtain the titles of sales officer, <strong>business</strong> secretary<br />

<strong>and</strong> accountant. All programmes were carried out<br />

in Ljubljana, while the accountant programme<br />

was also carried out in Piran <strong>and</strong> in the form of<br />

open study in Ptuj. In 2007, the Centre for Higher<br />

Education introduced E-College, a flexible study<br />

programme which provides students with access to<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

In 2007, PIC (Business Education Centre) carried out<br />

one-day seminars <strong>and</strong> seminars lasting several days,<br />

workshops, programmes lasting several months, oneyear<br />

professional education programmes for obtaining<br />

level 5 education (economics <strong>and</strong> management) <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>business</strong> <strong>and</strong> specialised education for small <strong>group</strong>s at<br />

companies. The company, whose capital was increased<br />

in 2007, is 100 percent owned by GEA College.<br />

Challenges in 2008:<br />

In 2008, Higher Education Centre will continue<br />

to increase the quality of its educational process.<br />

In the 2008/2009 academic year, we will<br />

begin implementing an updated higher education<br />

<strong>business</strong> secretary programme <strong>and</strong> a new higher<br />

education economic programme, where students


may choose between the following majors:<br />

sales officer,<br />

accountant,<br />

increased market share in area of higher education.<br />

The objectives of the Business College are primarily<br />

an increase in the quality of the educational<br />

A selection of the most important<br />

activities of associated companies<br />

KD Concorde<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

KD Concorde successfully continued its work<br />

in all areas <strong>and</strong> increased revenues by one-third<br />

Deželna banka Slovenije<br />

Deželna banka Slovenije is a universal<br />

medium-sized bank present throughout Slovenia,<br />

primarily focused on <strong>business</strong> with retail customers<br />

<strong>and</strong> small <strong>and</strong> medium-sized enterprises, as well as<br />

all forms of securities. It has traditionally cooperated<br />

with the food processing industry, which will receive<br />

even greater attention in the future.<br />

compared to the previous year as a result.<br />

The company recruited 82 new consultants.<br />

Due to legislative changes, we were able to<br />

re-establish contractual cooperation at the end of<br />

the year with KD Skladi in the area of marketing<br />

funds (cooperation was suspended in 2004).<br />

The company concluded a new cooperation<br />

agreement on the trading of precious metals with<br />

new partner Elementum d. o. o.<br />

Challenges in 2008:<br />

To attract new consultants;<br />

To increase support of active consultants <strong>and</strong><br />

reduce the number of inactive consultants;<br />

To adapt the consultant training system;<br />

To introduce asset consulting as an<br />

independent profession through an asset academy<br />

<strong>and</strong> other activities;<br />

To update informative material <strong>and</strong> online<br />

support;<br />

To restart sales of funds due to legislative<br />

changes.<br />

The bank manages a branch network with 90<br />

outlets throughout Slovenia, placing it number three<br />

among Slovenian banks. The bank provides all<br />

basic banking services, from loans to various forms<br />

of savings, payment card operations, e-banking <strong>and</strong><br />

payment transactions to investment banking <strong>and</strong><br />

leasing. The latter is performed by the subsidiary<br />

DBS Leasing d. o. o., forming the DBS banking<br />

<strong>group</strong> together with the parent company Deželna<br />

banka Slovenije.<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

In 2007, Deželna banka Slovenije operated in<br />

accordance with the bank’s strategy <strong>and</strong> its guidelines<br />

<strong>and</strong> adopted <strong>business</strong> policy <strong>and</strong> exceeded established<br />

objectives in the most important areas of operations.<br />

Through its successful operations, the bank<br />

maintained a 1.8 percent market share. Total assets<br />

as at 31 December 2007 totalled EUR 756.9<br />

million, a nominal increase of EUR 147.1 million,<br />

or 24 percent, matching the growth of the banking<br />

system. Thus the bank nearly achieved planned<br />

growth <strong>and</strong> total assets. Total assets per employee<br />

185


(productivity) rose 21 percent in 2007, totalling EUR<br />

1.8 million as at 31 December 2007.<br />

The bank made significant progress in terms of<br />

achieving return on equity in 2007. The return on<br />

equity of 18.8 percent was more than double that<br />

achieved the previous year.<br />

The bank generated gross profit (pre-tax<br />

profit) of EUR 9.1 million in 2007. Thus the<br />

bank exceeded 2006 gross profit <strong>and</strong> planned<br />

profit for 2007 by 158 percent <strong>and</strong> 184 percent,<br />

respectively. Net profit from ordinary operations was<br />

more than EUR 7 million.<br />

To increase the efficiency of operations by<br />

strengthening the commercial banking function<br />

in the area of corporate customers, by enhancing<br />

marketing <strong>and</strong> sales in retail banking, by increasing<br />

cooperation with customers engaged in agriculture<br />

<strong>and</strong> food processing <strong>and</strong> by increasing the number of<br />

customers in securities operations;<br />

To begin introducing transactions with derivatives<br />

<strong>and</strong> obtain a license to perform transactions relating<br />

to the sale of insurance products.<br />

Seaway Group<br />

In 2007, the bank successfully carried out two<br />

186<br />

capital increases by issuing new shares, resulting in<br />

EUR 36 million in fresh capital. The basic ownership<br />

structure remained unchanged following both capital<br />

increases. This was necessary for the continued<br />

successful operation of the bank given the ambitious<br />

objectives set for 2007 <strong>and</strong> to achieve the strategic<br />

objectives set out by the bank until 2009. With<br />

the aforementioned capital increases <strong>and</strong> given<br />

technical <strong>and</strong> substantive factors, the bank was able<br />

to meet capital requirements at the end of 2007 in<br />

accordance with Basel II capital st<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />

Challenges in 2008:<br />

To increase total assets by 16 percent to EUR<br />

864 million;<br />

To achieve a market share of 2 percent;<br />

To generate pre-tax profit of EUR 12.1 million;<br />

To provide appropriate risk management <strong>and</strong><br />

the prescribed liquidity level <strong>and</strong> maintain capital<br />

adequacy at a minimum of 10 percent;<br />

In 2007, Seaway Group continued its creative path<br />

in both its areas of operations: the development of<br />

new sailboats <strong>and</strong> motorboats for series ship<strong>build</strong>ers<br />

<strong>and</strong> the development <strong>and</strong> <strong>build</strong>ing of its own br<strong>and</strong><br />

boats - Shipman carbon-fibre sailboats <strong>and</strong> Skagen<br />

motor boats. Unfortunately, 2007 was marked by a<br />

fire in which Seaway lost three Shipman sailboats<br />

<strong>and</strong> its entire workshop for the manufacture of<br />

carbon-fibre boats, including all equipment.<br />

Two-thirds of the year was characterised by<br />

tremendous efforts to re-establish the company’s<br />

work <strong>and</strong> <strong>business</strong> processes. This was also<br />

reflected in the company’s operating results: while<br />

income rose by 25 percent, profit <strong>and</strong> EBITDA<br />

remained at the previous year’s level.<br />

Operations in 2007<br />

The company designed <strong>and</strong> developed two<br />

motor boats, Windy 44 <strong>and</strong> 48 for the Norwegian<br />

shipyard Windy.


The company designed, developed <strong>and</strong> built a<br />

prototype motor boat Commuter 11 for Askeladden.<br />

It is the first boat in Europe equipped with the new<br />

Zeus propulsion system.<br />

Seaway Group designed <strong>and</strong> developed a new<br />

line of sailboats (31, 34, 38 <strong>and</strong> 40) <strong>and</strong> two motor<br />

boats (34 <strong>and</strong> 37) for its largest customer, the<br />

German company Bavaria.<br />

The Swedish factory Marex took possession<br />

of the new motor boat Marex 37, a completely<br />

innovative design.<br />

At the same time, the company purchased<br />

additional l<strong>and</strong> measuring 43,000 m 2 , with 260<br />

metres of coast line, intended for the manufacture of<br />

motor boats.<br />

The company purchased l<strong>and</strong> in a newly<br />

established industrial zone in Puconci pri Murski<br />

Soboti where the company will <strong>build</strong> a workshop<br />

for developing <strong>and</strong> manufacturing products from<br />

composite materials.<br />

At the end of the year, orders for Shipman <strong>and</strong><br />

Skagen exceeded EUR 50 million.<br />

The fire on 11 April 2007, caused by welding<br />

work on the roof, resulted in EUR 9 million in<br />

direct damages <strong>and</strong> several million euros in indirect<br />

material damages. The new workshop (located on<br />

the site of the old workshop) began operating in<br />

December 2007.<br />

The company launched the work boat Atlas 50,<br />

based on the hull of the Skagen 50. The boat was<br />

completed at the shipyard in Oglej <strong>and</strong> delivered to<br />

the buyer in Portorož.<br />

In the last quarter of the year, the company’s<br />

Shipman 72 <strong>and</strong> 80 sailboats (22 <strong>and</strong> 24 metres in<br />

length, respectively) were launched. They represent<br />

the most expensive Slovenian products on global<br />

markets <strong>and</strong> are distinguished by a completely new<br />

scheme, design <strong>and</strong> technology. They open the way<br />

for the large boats the company intends to <strong>build</strong> on<br />

the coast.<br />

At the end of the year in Tržič (Friuli - Julian<br />

region), Seaway signed an agreement on the<br />

construction of a new shipyard, with a deadline of<br />

one year <strong>and</strong> an investment of approximately EUR<br />

22 million.<br />

Challenges in 2008:<br />

The company is looking forward to 2008 with<br />

optimism, as the overcoming of difficulties posed by<br />

the fire has given the company additional strength<br />

<strong>and</strong> enthusiasm. The company’s plans include the<br />

increased manufacturing of Shipman sailboats <strong>and</strong><br />

the start-up of the new workshop on the coast.<br />

its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s<br />

KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

able to comply with the amendment.<br />

- IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting <strong>and</strong><br />

Impairment (effective from periods beginning on<br />

or after 1 November 2006). The interpretation<br />

prohibits the impairment losses recognised in an<br />

interim period on goodwill <strong>and</strong> investments in<br />

equity instruments <strong>and</strong> in financial assets carried<br />

at cost to be reversed at a subsequent balance<br />

sheet date. The Group does not expect this to<br />

have any impact on its financial statements.<br />

- IFRS 1 (Amendment), First-time Adoption of IFRS<br />

<strong>and</strong> IFRS 6 - Exploration for <strong>and</strong> Evaluation of Mineral<br />

Resources. There are no companies in the Group that<br />

these amendments could have an impact on.<br />

- IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Asset Contains a<br />

Lease. This interpretation specifies the conditions<br />

under which assets not classified as leases must be<br />

accounted in accordance with the IAS 17 Leases.<br />

There are no assets in the Group that should be<br />

considered in accordance with these interpretations.<br />

- IFRIC 5, Rights to Interests arising from<br />

Decommissioning, Restoration <strong>and</strong> Environmental<br />

Rehabilitation Funds. The interpretation is not<br />

relevant to the Group’s operations.<br />

- IFRIC 6, Liabilities arising from Participating in a<br />

Specific Market – Waste Electrical <strong>and</strong> Electronic<br />

Equipment. There are no companies in the Group<br />

that would be affected by this interpretation.<br />

Certain new st<strong>and</strong>ards, amendments <strong>and</strong> interpretations<br />

to existing st<strong>and</strong>ards have been published that are<br />

m<strong>and</strong>atory for the Group’s accounting periods beginning<br />

on or after 1 January 2008 but which the Group has<br />

not adopted early, as follows:<br />

- IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements, (effective<br />

for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January<br />

2009). IAS 1 prohibits the presentation of items<br />

of income <strong>and</strong> expenses (that is “non-owner<br />

changes in equity”) in the statement of changes in<br />

equity, requiring “owner changes in equity” to be<br />

presented separately from “non-owner changes in<br />

equity”. In addition, entities making restatements or<br />

reclassifications of comparative information will be<br />

required to present a restated balance sheet as at<br />

the beginning of the comparative period.<br />

- IFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective from periods<br />

beginning on or after 1 January 2009). This<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard replaces IAS 14 Segment Reporting.<br />

- IAS 23 (Amendment), Borrowing Costs (effective<br />

1 January 2009). It requires an entity to<br />

capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable<br />

to the acquisition, construction or production of<br />

a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial<br />

period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part<br />

of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately<br />

expensing those borrowing costs will be removed.<br />

The <strong>group</strong> will apply IAS 23 (Amended) from 1<br />

January 2009.<br />

Statements (effective from annual periods beginning<br />

2.2 Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

2.2.1 Subsidiaries<br />

on or after 1 July 2009). IAS 27 (revised) requires<br />

204<br />

the effects of all transactions with non-controlling<br />

interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change<br />

in control. They will no longer result in goodwill or<br />

gains <strong>and</strong> losses. The st<strong>and</strong>ard also specifies the<br />

accounting when control is lost. Any remaining<br />

interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value <strong>and</strong> a<br />

gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.<br />

- IFRIC 11, IFRS 2, Group Treasury Share<br />

Transactions (effective from periods beginning on<br />

or after 1 March 2007). The Group does not grant<br />

shares or share options to employees, consequently<br />

the interpretation will not affect the Group’s financial<br />

statements.<br />

- IFRIC 12, Service Concession Agreements (effective<br />

from periods beginning on or after 1 January<br />

2008). The interpretation will not affect the Group’s<br />

financial statements.<br />

- IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective<br />

from 1 January 2008). IFRIC 13 clarifies that where<br />

goods or services are sold together with a customer<br />

loyalty incentive (for example loyalty points or<br />

free product). IFRIC 13 will not affect the Group’s<br />

financial statement because none of the Group’s<br />

companies operate any loyalty programmes.<br />

- IFRIC 14, IAS 19, The Limit on a Defined Benefit<br />

Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements <strong>and</strong> their<br />

Interaction (effective from 1 January 2008).<br />

Subsidiaries are those companies in which the<br />

Company <strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries hold, directly or indirectly,<br />

more than one half of voting rights. Subsidiaries are<br />

fully consolidated from the date on which control is<br />

transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from<br />

the date on which control of the Company ceases.<br />

The purchase method of accounting is used to<br />

account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The<br />

cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value<br />

of the assets given, equity instruments issued<br />

<strong>and</strong> liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of<br />

exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the<br />

acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired <strong>and</strong> liabilities<br />

<strong>and</strong> contingent liabilities assumed in a <strong>business</strong><br />

combination are measured initially at fair values<br />

at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of<br />

acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share<br />

of the identifiable assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingent<br />

liabilities is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of<br />

acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group’s<br />

share of net assets acquired, the difference is<br />

recognised directly in the income statement.<br />

Inter-company transactions, balances <strong>and</strong> unrealised<br />

gains on transactions as well as income, expenses <strong>and</strong><br />

dividends between <strong>group</strong> companies are eliminated.<br />

Subsidiaries’ accounting policies have been changed<br />

or adequately adjusted where necessary to ensure<br />

consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

2.2.2 Transactions <strong>and</strong> minority interests<br />

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition<br />

profits or losses is recognised in the income statement.<br />

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions<br />

with minority interests as transactions with parties<br />

external to the Group. Purchases from minority<br />

The Group’s share of post-acquisition movements in<br />

associate’s reserves is recognised as a movement in the<br />

Group’s reserves.<br />

interests result in goodwill (excess), being the<br />

difference between any consideration paid <strong>and</strong> the<br />

relevant share acquired of the carrying value of<br />

net assets of the subsidiary. Disposals to minority<br />

interests result in gains <strong>and</strong> losses for the Group<br />

that are recorded in the income statement. Minority<br />

interests are disclosed as a separate item of the<br />

Group’s equity. Net profit or loss is divided into net<br />

profit (loss) of the majority owner <strong>and</strong> net profit<br />

(loss) of the minority owner.<br />

If the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or<br />

exceeds its interest in the associate, including unsecured<br />

receivables to the associate, the Group discontinues<br />

recognising its share of further losses unless the Group<br />

has any legal or other liabilities assumed on behalf of<br />

the associate. If the associate subsequently reports<br />

profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those<br />

profits only after its share of the profits equals the share<br />

of losses not recognised.<br />

2.2.3 Associates<br />

Associates are all entities over which the Group has<br />

a significant influence but not control, generally<br />

accompanying a direct or indirect shareholding of<br />

between 20.00% <strong>and</strong> 50.00% of the voting rights.<br />

Investments in associates are accounted by the<br />

equity method of accounting according to which such<br />

investments are initially recognised at cost <strong>and</strong> are<br />

subsequently increased or decreased by the Group’s<br />

share of the associate’s profit or loss. Dividends<br />

received from an associate reduce the carrying<br />

amount of the investment.<br />

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group<br />

<strong>and</strong> its associates are eliminated to the extent of<br />

the Group's interest in the associates. Accounting<br />

policies of associates have been changed where<br />

necessary to ensure consistency with the policies<br />

adopted by the Group.<br />

The Group’s investments in the internally managed<br />

mutual funds, where the Group has a significant<br />

influence are treated as investments in the associated<br />

companies <strong>and</strong> are accounted by the equity<br />

method. The investment-linked insurance funds are<br />

categorised as financial assets designated at fair<br />

value through profit or loss at inception as permitted<br />

by IAS 28, Investments in Associates (see Note 10).<br />

2.3 Segment reporting<br />

in compliance with Council Regulation (EU) No.<br />

1086/2006 <strong>and</strong> Article 123(5). The official exchange<br />

Business <strong>and</strong> geographical segments are parts of the<br />

Group’s operations that are subject to different rates of<br />

profitability, opportunities for growth, future prospects,<br />

rate was used as the basis for the calculation of items<br />

in financial statements for 2006 (comperative year)<br />

from tolar to euro.<br />

<strong>and</strong> risks. A <strong>business</strong> segment is a distinguishable<br />

component of the Group that is engaged in providing<br />

a <strong>group</strong> of related products or services <strong>and</strong> that is<br />

subject to risks <strong>and</strong> returns that are different from<br />

those of other <strong>business</strong> segments. A geographical<br />

segment is a distinguishable component of the Group<br />

that is engaged in providing products or services within<br />

a particular economic environment <strong>and</strong> that is subject<br />

to risks <strong>and</strong> returns that are different from those of<br />

segments operating in other economic environments.<br />

Transactions <strong>and</strong> balances<br />

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the<br />

functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing<br />

at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange<br />

gains <strong>and</strong> losses resulting from the settlement of such<br />

transactions <strong>and</strong> from the translation of<br />

year-end exchange rates of monetary assets <strong>and</strong><br />

liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are<br />

recognised in the income statement.<br />

2.4 Foreign currency translation<br />

Functional <strong>and</strong> presentation currency<br />

Items included in the financial statements of each of<br />

the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of<br />

the primary economic environment in which the entity<br />

operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated<br />

financial statements are presented in Slovenian tolars,<br />

which is the Group’s presentation currency.<br />

The functional <strong>and</strong> presentation currency of the Group<br />

was the Slovenian tolar until 31 December 2006,<br />

while on 1 January 2007 the Group introduced the<br />

euro as the functional <strong>and</strong> presentation currency,<br />

following the changes in legislation in the Republic<br />

of Slovenia introducing the euro as the legal local<br />

currency. The official exchange rate of 239.64<br />

tolars for one euro was appointed on 11 July 2006<br />

Foreign currency monetary items are translated on the<br />

balance sheet date using the reference rate of the ECB<br />

or the Bank of Slovenia exchange rates (for currencies<br />

for which the ECB does not publish reference rates)<br />

on the last day of the year. Non-monetary items that<br />

are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign<br />

currency are translated using the mean exchange<br />

rate of the Bank of Slovenia applicable at the date of<br />

transaction <strong>and</strong> non-monetary items that are measured<br />

at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using<br />

the reference rate of the ECB applicable at the date<br />

when the fair value was determined.<br />

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities<br />

denominated in foreign currency classified as available<br />

for sale are analysed between translation differences<br />

resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the<br />

207


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

security <strong>and</strong> other changes in the carrying amount<br />

of the security. Translation differences related to<br />

changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit<br />

or loss, <strong>and</strong> other changes in the carrying amount are<br />

recognised in equity.<br />

On consolidation, exchange differences arising<br />

from the translation of the net investment in foreign<br />

entities are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a<br />

foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences<br />

are recognised in the income statement as part of<br />

the gain or loss on sale.<br />

Translation differences on non-monetary financial<br />

assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities are reported as part of the fair<br />

2.5 Property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment<br />

208<br />

value gain or loss. Translation differences on nonmonetary<br />

financial assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities such as<br />

equities held at fair value through profit or loss are<br />

recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value<br />

gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary<br />

financial assets such as equities classified as available<br />

for sale are included in the available-for-sale reserve in<br />

equity.<br />

Group companies<br />

The financial statements of all <strong>group</strong> entities (none<br />

of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary<br />

economy) that have a functional currency different<br />

from the presentation currency of the Group are<br />

translated into the presentation currency as follows:<br />

- assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities for each balance sheet<br />

presented are translated at the reference rate of<br />

the ECB or the Bank of Slovenia exchange rates<br />

on the date of the balance sheet,<br />

- income <strong>and</strong> expenses for each income statement<br />

are translated at the average annual reference rate<br />

of the ECB or the Bank of Slovenia exchange rates,<br />

- all resulting exchange differences are recognised<br />

as a separate component of equity (reserves).<br />

After initial recognition, property <strong>and</strong> equipment<br />

are carried at historical cost less accumulated<br />

depreciation <strong>and</strong> accumulated impairment losses, if<br />

any (cost model). Historical cost includes expenditure<br />

that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the<br />

items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s<br />

carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,<br />

as appropriate, only when it is probable that future<br />

economic benefits associated with the item will flow to<br />

the Group <strong>and</strong> the cost of the item can be measured<br />

reliably. All other repairs <strong>and</strong> maintenance are charged<br />

to the income statement during the financial period in<br />

which they are incurred.<br />

Property <strong>and</strong> equipment is derecognised upon<br />

disposal or when no further economic benefits are<br />

expected from the item. The gain or loss arising<br />

from the derecognition of an item of property <strong>and</strong><br />

equipment is determined as the difference between<br />

the disposal proceeds <strong>and</strong> the carrying amount<br />

of the item <strong>and</strong> is recognised in other operating<br />

income.


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

Depreciation<br />

The Group systematically allocates to profit or loss<br />

the cost less residual value (depreciable amount)<br />

over the useful life of each individual item of property<br />

<strong>and</strong> equipment. The Group uses the straight-line<br />

depreciation method. L<strong>and</strong> is not depreciated.<br />

The recognition <strong>and</strong> derecognition policies <strong>and</strong><br />

methods of accounting for depreciation are defined<br />

under property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment (Note 2.5).<br />

The cost of day-to-day servicing of the investment<br />

property are repairs <strong>and</strong> maintenance <strong>and</strong> are<br />

expensed.<br />

Useful lives are as follows:<br />

2.7 Intangible assets<br />

Property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment:<br />

Buildings<br />

Vehicles <strong>and</strong> machinery<br />

Furniture, fittings <strong>and</strong> equipment<br />

20 to 59 years<br />

3 to 10 years<br />

2 to 7 years<br />

After initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be<br />

carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation<br />

<strong>and</strong> any accumulated impairment losses (cost<br />

Assets’ residual values <strong>and</strong> useful lives are reviewed at<br />

each balance sheet date <strong>and</strong> adjusted if appropriate.<br />

If an asset’s recoverable amount is lower than its<br />

book value, the asset is written down immediately<br />

to its recoverable amount <strong>and</strong> the impairment loss is<br />

recognised in the income statement. The recoverable<br />

amount is the higher of an asset´s value in use <strong>and</strong><br />

fair value less costs to sell (see Note 2.9.2).<br />

2.6 Investment property<br />

Investment property is property (l<strong>and</strong> or a <strong>build</strong>ing<br />

- or part of a <strong>build</strong>ing - or both) held to earn<br />

rentals <strong>and</strong>/or for capital appreciation or both,<br />

rather than for administrative purposes or sale<br />

in the ordinary course of <strong>business</strong>. Investment<br />

property is initially measured at cost. After initial<br />

recognition, investment property of the Group is<br />

carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation <strong>and</strong><br />

accumulated impairment losses, if any (cost model),<br />

i.e. the same as property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment.<br />

model). An entity shall assess whether the useful<br />

life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite. If<br />

finite, it is amortised on the basis of its useful life.<br />

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is<br />

not amortised.<br />

Goodwill<br />

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an<br />

acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of<br />

the net identifiable assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingent<br />

liabilities of the acquired subsidiary <strong>and</strong> is disclosed<br />

under intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.<br />

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in<br />

intangible assets <strong>and</strong> carried at cost less accumulated<br />

impairment losses. Goodwill on acquisitions of<br />

associates is included in investments in associates.<br />

Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually <strong>and</strong><br />

any impairment is recognised in the income statement.<br />

Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains<br />

<strong>and</strong> losses on the disposal of an entity include the<br />

carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.<br />

209


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

Excess of fair value of the acquired identifiable<br />

assets, liabilities <strong>and</strong> contingent liabilities above the<br />

cost of their acquisition is reassessed <strong>and</strong> any excess<br />

remaining after the reassessment is recognised as<br />

income in the income statement.<br />

following categories:<br />

- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;<br />

- loans <strong>and</strong> receivables;<br />

- held-to-maturity investments;<br />

- available-for-sale financial assets.<br />

Management determines the classification of its<br />

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the<br />

investments at initial recognition.<br />

purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill is allocated to<br />

the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to<br />

2.8.1 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss<br />

benefit from the synergies of the combination.<br />

This category has two sub-categories: financial<br />

Other intangible assets<br />

The Group’s intangible assets with a definite useful<br />

assets held for trading, <strong>and</strong> those designated at fair<br />

value through profit or loss at inception.<br />

life include computer software <strong>and</strong> licences. The<br />

210<br />

cost of acquired software comprises the costs<br />

of acquisition <strong>and</strong> preparation of the asset for<br />

its intended use, <strong>and</strong> for licences it is the cost<br />

of acquisition. Throughout the useful life of an<br />

individual item of an intangible asset the Group<br />

consistently allocates the amount of its amortisation<br />

to individual accounting periods as depreciation<br />

at that time. Amortisation is calculated using the<br />

straight-line method.<br />

Amortisation is charged individually. The periods of<br />

amortisation of intangible assets with a finite useful life<br />

are the following:<br />

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it<br />

is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose<br />

of selling or repurchasing in the near term or if it is<br />

part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments<br />

that are managed together <strong>and</strong> for which there is<br />

evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term<br />

profit-taking.<br />

Financial assets <strong>and</strong> financial liabilities are<br />

designated at fair value through profit or loss when:<br />

- doing so significantly reduces measurement<br />

inconsistencies that would arise if the related<br />

derivatives were treated as held for trading <strong>and</strong><br />

the underlying financial instruments were carried<br />

Intangible assets:<br />

2.8.4 Available-for-sale financial assets<br />

designated at fair value through profit <strong>and</strong> loss.<br />

Available-for-sale investments are those intended to<br />

be held for an indefinite period of time, which may<br />

2.8.2 Held-to-maturity financial assets<br />

be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes<br />

in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.<br />

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative<br />

financial assets with fixed or determinable payments<br />

<strong>and</strong> fixed maturities that the Group’s management has<br />

the positive intention <strong>and</strong> ability to hold to maturity.<br />

If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant<br />

amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category<br />

Regular-way purchases <strong>and</strong> sales of financial assets<br />

at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity<br />

<strong>and</strong> available for sale are recognised on trade-date<br />

– the date on which the Group commits to purchase<br />

or sell the asset.<br />

would be reclassified as available for sale.<br />

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value<br />

2.8.3 Loans <strong>and</strong> receivables<br />

plus transaction costs for all financial assets not<br />

Loans <strong>and</strong> receivables are non-derivative financial<br />

assets with fixed or determinable payments that are<br />

not quoted in an active market, other than: (a) those<br />

that the entity intends to sell immediately or in the<br />

short term, which are classified as held for trading,<br />

<strong>and</strong> those that the entity upon initial recognition<br />

designates as at fair value through profit or loss;<br />

(b) those that the entity upon initial recognition<br />

designates as available for sale; or (c) those for<br />

which the holder may not recover substantially all<br />

of its initial investment, other than because of credit<br />

deterioration.<br />

carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial<br />

assets carried at fair value through profit <strong>and</strong> loss<br />

are initially recognised at fair value, <strong>and</strong> transaction<br />

costs are expensed in the income statement.<br />

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights<br />

to receive cash flows from the financial assets<br />

have expired or where the Group has transferred<br />

substantially all risks <strong>and</strong> rewards of ownership.<br />

Financial liabilities are derecognised when they<br />

are extinguished − that is, when the obligation is<br />

discharged, cancelled or expires.<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets <strong>and</strong> financial<br />

assets at fair value through profit or loss are<br />

subsequently carried at fair value. Loans <strong>and</strong><br />

the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets<br />

are recognised directly in equity, until the financial<br />

asset is derecognised or impaired. At this time,<br />

the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised<br />

in equity is recognised in profit or loss. However,<br />

interest calculated using the effective interest<br />

method <strong>and</strong> foreign currency gains <strong>and</strong> losses on<br />

monetary assets classified as available for sale are<br />

recognised in the income statement. Dividends on<br />

available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised<br />

in the income statement when the entity’s right to<br />

receive payment is established.<br />

The fair values of quoted investments in active<br />

markets are based on current bid prices. If there<br />

is no active market for a financial asset, the Group<br />

establishes fair value using valuation techniques.<br />

These include the use of recent arm’s length<br />

transactions, discounted cash flow analysis <strong>and</strong><br />

other valuation techniques commonly used by<br />

market participants.<br />

a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost<br />

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether<br />

there is objective evidence that a financial asset or<br />

<strong>group</strong> of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or<br />

a <strong>group</strong> of financial assets is impaired <strong>and</strong> impairment<br />

losses are incurred if, <strong>and</strong> only if, there is objective<br />

evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events<br />

that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset<br />

(a “loss event”) <strong>and</strong> that loss event (or events) has an<br />

impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial<br />

asset or <strong>group</strong> of financial assets that can be reliably<br />

estimated. Objective evidence that a financial asset or<br />

<strong>group</strong> of assets is impaired includes observable data that<br />

comes to the attention of the Group about the following<br />

loss events:<br />

- significant financial difficulty of the issuer;<br />

- a breach of contract, such as a default or<br />

delinquency in interest or principal payments;<br />

- the Group granting to the borrower, for economic<br />

or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial<br />

difficulty, a concession that the lender would not<br />

otherwise consider;<br />

- it becoming probable that the borrower will enter<br />

bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;<br />

- the disappearance of an active market for that<br />

financial asset because of financial difficulties; or<br />

- observable data indicating that there is a<br />

measurable decrease in the estimated future cash<br />

flows from a <strong>group</strong> of financial assets since the


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

initial recognition of those assets, although the<br />

decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual<br />

financial assets in the Group, including:<br />

- adverse changes in the payment status of<br />

borrowers in the Group, or<br />

- national or local economic conditions that<br />

correlate with defaults on the assets in the Group.<br />

investment has a variable interest rate, the discount<br />

rate for measuring any impairment loss is the<br />

current effective interest rate determined under the<br />

contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may<br />

measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s<br />

fair value using an observable market price. The<br />

calculation of the present value of the estimated<br />

future cash flows of a collateralised financial<br />

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence<br />

of impairment exists individually for financial<br />

assets that are individually significant. If the Group<br />

asset reflects the cash flows that may result from<br />

foreclosure less costs for obtaining <strong>and</strong> selling the<br />

collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.<br />

determines that no objective evidence of impairment<br />

exists for an individually assessed financial asset,<br />

whether significant or not, it includes the asset in<br />

a <strong>group</strong> of financial assets with similar credit risk<br />

characteristics <strong>and</strong> collectively assesses them for<br />

impairment. Assets that are individually assessed<br />

for impairment <strong>and</strong> for which an impairment loss is<br />

or continues to be recognised are not included in a<br />

collective assessment of impairment.<br />

If there is objective evidence that an impairment<br />

loss on loans <strong>and</strong> receivables or held-to-maturity<br />

investments carried at amortised cost has been<br />

incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the<br />

difference between the asset’s carrying amount <strong>and</strong><br />

the present value of estimated future cash flows<br />

(excluding future credit losses that have not been<br />

incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original<br />

effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the<br />

asset is reduced through the use of an allowance<br />

account <strong>and</strong> the amount of the loss is recognised in<br />

the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity<br />

For the purposes of a collective evaluation of<br />

impairment, financial assets are <strong>group</strong>ed on the basis of<br />

similar credit risk characteristics. Those characteristics<br />

are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows<br />

for <strong>group</strong>s of such assets by being indicative of the<br />

debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the<br />

contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.<br />

Future cash flows in a <strong>group</strong> of financial assets that are<br />

collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the<br />

basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets in the<br />

Group <strong>and</strong> historical loss experience for assets with credit<br />

risk characteristics similar to those in the Group. Historical<br />

loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current<br />

observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions<br />

that did not affect the period on which the historical loss<br />

experience is based <strong>and</strong> to remove the effects of conditions<br />

in the historical period that do not exist currently.<br />

Estimates of changes in future cash flows for <strong>group</strong>s of<br />

assets should reflect <strong>and</strong> be directionally consistent with<br />

213


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

changes in related observable data from period to period<br />

(for example, changes in unemployment rates, property<br />

prices, payment status, or other factors indicative of<br />

changes in the probability of losses in the <strong>group</strong> <strong>and</strong> their<br />

magnitude). The methodology <strong>and</strong> assumptions used<br />

for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly<br />

by the Group to reduce any differences between loss<br />

estimates <strong>and</strong> actual loss experience.<br />

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the<br />

impairment loss decreases <strong>and</strong> the decrease can<br />

be related objectively to an event occurring after the<br />

impairment was recognised (such as an improvement<br />

in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognised<br />

impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance<br />

account. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the<br />

income statement.<br />

considered in determining whether the assets are<br />

impaired. If any such evidence exists for availablefor-sale<br />

financial assets, the cumulative loss –<br />

measured as the difference between the acquisition<br />

cost <strong>and</strong> the current fair value, less any impairment<br />

loss on that financial asset previously recognised<br />

in profit or loss – is removed from equity <strong>and</strong><br />

recognised in the income statement. Impairment<br />

losses recognised in the income statement on equity<br />

instruments are not reversed through the income<br />

statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value<br />

of a debt instrument classified as available for sale<br />

increases <strong>and</strong> the increase can be objectively related<br />

to an event occurring after the impairment loss was<br />

recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is<br />

reversed through the income statement.<br />

214<br />

When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against<br />

2.9.2 Impairment of non-financial assets<br />

the allowance account for the asset. Such assets are<br />

written off after all the necessary procedures have<br />

been completed <strong>and</strong> the amount of the loss has<br />

been determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts<br />

previously written off decrease the amount of the<br />

impairment charge in the income statement.<br />

Intangible assets which are not subject to<br />

amortisation are tested annually for impairment.<br />

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed<br />

for impairment whenever events or changes in<br />

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount<br />

may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is<br />

(b) Financial assets classified as available-for-sale<br />

recognised for the amount by which the asset’s<br />

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.<br />

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date<br />

whether there is objective evidence that a financial<br />

asset or a <strong>group</strong> of financial assets is impaired.<br />

in the fair value of the security below its cost is<br />

Recoverable amount is determined for an individual<br />

asset, unless the asset does not generate cash<br />

inflows that are largely independent of those from<br />

other assets or <strong>group</strong>s of assets. In such case,<br />

the recoverable amount is established for a cashgenerating<br />

unit i.e. the smallest identifiable <strong>group</strong>

basis, or to realise the asset <strong>and</strong> settle the liability<br />

simultaneously.<br />

2.11 Inventories<br />

Dividends on ordinary <strong>and</strong> preference-shares are<br />

recognised as liability in the period in which they<br />

are approved by the Company’s shareholders.<br />

Dividends for the year that are declared after<br />

statements are authorised for issue are disclosed in<br />

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost <strong>and</strong><br />

weighted average cost method. Net realisable<br />

value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary<br />

course of <strong>business</strong>, less applicable variable selling<br />

received is included in shareholders’ equity.<br />

2.14 Insurance <strong>and</strong> investment contracts<br />

Cash <strong>and</strong> cash equivalents include cash in h<strong>and</strong><br />

report cash flows from operating activities using the<br />

indirect method, whereby profit or loss is adjusted for<br />

the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any<br />

The Group issues contracts that transfer insurance<br />

risk or financial risk or both. Insurance contracts are<br />

those contracts that transfer significant insurance<br />

risk. Such contracts may also transfer financial<br />

risk. As a general guideline, the Group defines as

participation of the insured <strong>and</strong> the % vary between<br />

individual insurance products, <strong>and</strong> are defined in<br />

the insurance terms.<br />

216<br />

Traditional life insurance contracts <strong>and</strong> investment<br />

contracts include the possibility of discretionary<br />

participation in the positive result realized through<br />

management of assets from the said contracts<br />

(hereinafter referred to as DPF). The possibility of<br />

discretionary participation is a contractual right to<br />

additional benefits supplementary to guaranteed<br />

benefits, namely:<br />

- benefits which are likely to represent a significant<br />

share of the total contract benefits;<br />

- benefits whose amount or timeframe is specified<br />

by the insurer; <strong>and</strong><br />

- benefits which are contractually based on:<br />

- the success of a given category of contracts or<br />

certain types of contracts;<br />

- realized <strong>and</strong>/or unrealized investment returns on<br />

a specified pool of assets held by the issuer; or<br />

- the profit of the company, fund or other entity<br />

that issues the contract.<br />

Traditional life insurance contracts with DPF <strong>and</strong><br />

investment contracts with DPF contain an agreed<br />

insurance sum or annuity (calculated under the<br />

premise of achieving a certain rate of return on<br />

accumulated assets) <strong>and</strong> additional possibility of<br />

the insured's participation in the Group's realised<br />

Insurance <strong>and</strong> financial life insurance contracts are<br />

defined as contracts with DPF because the interest<br />

rate used at the time of preparing the product <strong>and</strong><br />

calculating the agreed insurance sum or annuity<br />

was lower than the expectations at the time with<br />

regard to commercial interest rates. Additional<br />

benefits for policy holder were expected at the<br />

stage of preparing the insurance product, which<br />

represents a discretional right to additional benefits.<br />

2.14.1 Insurance contracts<br />

2.14.1.1 Recognition <strong>and</strong> measurement<br />

The Group is dealing with 4 main categories of<br />

insurance contracts, depending on the duration of<br />

risk <strong>and</strong> whether or not the terms <strong>and</strong> conditions<br />

are fixed:<br />

- Property insurance contracts<br />

- Health insurance contracts<br />

- Life insurance contracts with DPF<br />

- Life insurance contracts where the policy holder<br />

takes on investment risk.

2.14.1.2 Property insurance contracts<br />

injured party for damages incurred as a result of the<br />

use or possession of the vehicle causing the damage.<br />

This category includes accident insurance, insurance<br />

of l<strong>and</strong> vehicles, fire <strong>and</strong> other damage insurance,<br />

liability insurance, financial loss insurance, transport<br />

insurance, credit <strong>and</strong> suretyship insurance <strong>and</strong><br />

insurance of assistance <strong>and</strong> costs of procedure. This<br />

mainly involves short-term insurance contracts, with<br />

The insurance also provides coverage of property<br />

(destruction, accident damage) as well as non-property<br />

damage (bodily injury, health conditions or death),<br />

providing the insured with total property security. The<br />

amount of indemnification is limited in both cases by<br />

the legally defined minimal insurance sum.<br />

the exception of credit insurance.<br />

Fire insurance covers real <strong>and</strong> moveable property<br />

In accident insurance, in addition to the basic insured<br />

risks such as disability <strong>and</strong> death, the policy holders<br />

mainly opt for additional insurance coverage such as<br />

daily accident insurance, daily insurance for the event<br />

of hospital treatment due to an accident, <strong>and</strong> daily<br />

insurance fee in the event of prolonged treatment in<br />

a medical facility due to accidents. In addition to the<br />

aforementioned risks, an insurance policy may also be<br />

taken out for the event of death in a traffic accident,<br />

reimbursement of medical expenses, funeral costs in<br />

the event of the insured's death, <strong>and</strong> reimbursement<br />

of accommodation costs for adult supervisors in the<br />

event of insuring schoolchildren.<br />

L<strong>and</strong> motor vehicle insurance covers material damage<br />

(partial or total loss of the vehicle's value) which might<br />

result from traffic accident, natural disasters, theft, fire,<br />

malicious acts <strong>and</strong> other insured risks.<br />

Car insurance falls under the category of m<strong>and</strong>atory<br />

traffic insurance <strong>and</strong> must be ensured by every owner<br />

of a motor vehicle prior to beginning to use the vehicle<br />

in traffic. This applies to all types of motor vehicles<br />

which require registration. The Group reimburses the<br />

from the risk of fire, lightning, explosion, hailstorm,<br />

windstorm, crash of the insured's motor vehicle<br />

<strong>and</strong> work machinery, airplane crash <strong>and</strong> public<br />

manifestations <strong>and</strong> demonstrations. By special<br />

agreement <strong>and</strong> subject to an additional premium,<br />

it is also possible to include insurance coverage<br />

in the event of flooding, water spill, l<strong>and</strong>slide,<br />

avalanche, spill of fluids or gasses, self-combustion<br />

of inventories <strong>and</strong> spill of glowing mass in industrial<br />

environments. Additionally insurance coverage<br />

can extend to earthquake <strong>and</strong> torrential flooding.<br />

Insurance can be taken out on new or actual value.<br />

In the context of the insurance category “Other<br />

damage insurance”, the following subcategories are of<br />

significance according to the amount of the premium:<br />

home insurance for insuring domestic non-fixed<br />

assets, machinery malfunction to ensure machinery<br />

<strong>and</strong> their parts, burglary insurance to ensure moveable<br />

property from burglary <strong>and</strong> theft, <strong>build</strong>ing insurance,<br />

insurance of computers <strong>and</strong> glass.<br />

General liability insurance covers damages from<br />

indemnification claims enforced by third parties against<br />

the insured due to a sudden event which resulted<br />

in damage to persons or things. The key element<br />

of this insurance category is insurance of general<br />

liability, including employer liability. Other important<br />

subcategories include: forwarding, manufacturer,<br />

project engineering, medical <strong>and</strong> accounting liability.<br />

To a smaller degree other forms of professional liability<br />

insurance are traded: professional liability of attorneys,<br />

insurance agents, real estate agenty, surveyors,<br />

members of boards of managers <strong>and</strong> supervisory<br />

boards, liability of auditing firms <strong>and</strong> other legally<br />

prescribed professional liability insurance types.<br />

Transport insurance includes coverage of goods in<br />

domestic <strong>and</strong> international transport, comprehensive<br />

insurance of boats <strong>and</strong> airplanes, liability insurance<br />

of the owner or authorized user of the boat or<br />

airplane, insurance of transporter's liability in road<br />

traffic, insurance of the forwarding agent's liability<br />

<strong>and</strong> insurance of maritime agents. The quote is<br />

customised to fit the needs of the policy holder, also<br />

in the field of liability insurance in case of damage<br />

to goods under the FIATA bill of lading, <strong>and</strong> we also<br />

design <strong>and</strong> provide more specific insurance policies<br />

such as liability coverage for repairers of boats, marina<br />

<strong>and</strong> harbor managers <strong>and</strong> insurance of risk borne by<br />

constructors of boats/ships.<br />

218<br />

The category of financial loss insurance includes<br />

insurance for the event of halting of the working<br />

process due to fire or machine breakage <strong>and</strong><br />

insurance of public events. The former two are taken<br />

as additional insurances to fire <strong>and</strong> machine breakage<br />

insurance, <strong>and</strong> events are insured independently.<br />

Insurance of halted production process involves<br />

insurance of fixed costs which the insured was unable<br />

to cover due to the fire or machine breakage. By<br />

special agreement insurance may also include profits<br />

which the policy holder was unable to realise during<br />

the halt in production. Insurance of events covers<br />

damages incurred by the organizer in the event of<br />

cancellation of the event due to the weather, <strong>and</strong> by<br />

special agreement also if the cancellation occurs as<br />

a result of natural or administrative force majeure, or<br />

due to fire or explosion.<br />

Credit insurance marketed by the Group cover failure<br />

to pay contractual obligations for whatever reason <strong>and</strong><br />

comprise insurance of commercial loans, insurance of<br />

loans for investment in real property, bank overdraft<br />

limits etc. In the segment of suretyship insurance<br />

the policy holder is provided with a guarantee for<br />

earnest deposits, good performance of works, repair of<br />

malfunctions during the warranty period, payment of<br />

customs duties, for the event of insolvency of tourist<br />

organisations, for ensuring the payment of goods<br />

<strong>and</strong> services acquired through use of the credit card,<br />

guarantees for TIR carnets, etc.<br />

Insurance of assistance costs provide the policy<br />

holder with emergency assistance either in relation<br />

to vehicles in the event of malfunction or traffic<br />

accident, or in relation to an apartment or house when<br />

normal residence is impossible due to the sudden

emergence of events, or when emergency assistance<br />

2.14.1.3 Health insurance contracts<br />

is needed when traveling abroad. In insuring the<br />

costs of procedures, the most important feature is the<br />

insurance of legal aid which provides the policy holder<br />

with coverage of attorney fees.<br />

The Group offers three of four types of optional<br />

health insurance as set by the Health Care<br />

<strong>and</strong> Health Insurance Act (ZZVZZ), namely<br />

supplementary health insurance, extra health<br />

In all of the above contracts, premiums accrue<br />

insurance <strong>and</strong> parallel health insurance.<br />

when they become payable by the policy holder.<br />

Premiums contain all costs in addition to premiums,<br />

including the agency fee, except taxes. The part of the<br />

premiums from valid insurance contracts which refers<br />

to unexpired insurance coverages on the balance<br />

sheet date is presented as unearned premium reserve<br />

<strong>and</strong> represents a liability of the Group. Recognised<br />

as revenue are accrued premiums less changes in<br />

unearned premium reserves.<br />

Supplementary health insurance covers the difference<br />

between the healthcare costs under Art. 23 of the<br />

ZZVZZ <strong>and</strong> the share of these costs which is covered<br />

under m<strong>and</strong>atory health insurance, or part of this<br />

difference where the extra payable amount relates to<br />

the right to medical products included in the list of<br />

interchangeable medical products, medication aids<br />

<strong>and</strong> technical accessories.<br />

219<br />

The amounts of damage <strong>and</strong> appraisal costs are<br />

recognised as liability at the time the damage was<br />

incurred. Damages incurred but not fully resolved as<br />

at the balance sheet date are recognised as liabilities<br />

for damages. Liabilities for damages incurred <strong>and</strong><br />

reported as at the balance sheet date are formed on<br />

the basis of individual appraisal of damages. Liabilities<br />

Extra health insurance covers the costs of health<br />

services <strong>and</strong> related services <strong>and</strong> supply of<br />

medical products <strong>and</strong> medical aids <strong>and</strong> technical<br />

accessories, <strong>and</strong> the costs involved in the cash<br />

payouts which are not part of m<strong>and</strong>atory health<br />

insurance <strong>and</strong> are not covered under supplementary<br />

or substitute health insurance.<br />

for damages incurred but not reported as at the<br />

balance sheet date are assessed through statistical<br />

analysis. Liabilities for damages are further increased<br />

by the estimated costs of resolving such damage<br />

cases. Accrued indemnifications/insurance amounts,<br />

including costs of appraisal <strong>and</strong> resolution of damage<br />

cases, increased by the difference of liability for<br />

damages, are recognised as an expense.<br />

Parallel health insurance covers the costs of health<br />

services <strong>and</strong> related services, <strong>and</strong> supply supply of<br />

medical products <strong>and</strong> medical aids <strong>and</strong> technical<br />

accessories which, although they constitute<br />

entitlement under m<strong>and</strong>atory health insurance, are<br />

pursued by the insured under alternative procedures<br />

<strong>and</strong> under different conditions than that regulated<br />

under m<strong>and</strong>atory health insurance.

travel health insurance abroad with assistance from<br />

CORIS which covers the costs of medical treatment<br />

<strong>and</strong> emergency transport. These insurance policies<br />

are short-term in nature.<br />

health insurance are included in compensatory<br />

schemes under ZZVZZ, which offset the differences<br />

in the medical costs between different structures<br />

of insured with individual insurance companies<br />

with regard to gender <strong>and</strong> age. As a compensatory<br />

scheme payer, the Group recognises these expenses<br />

The premium is recognised as a revenue when the<br />

policyholder's obligation to pay falls due. Premiums<br />

contain all costs in addition to premiums, including<br />

the agency fee, except taxes. The part of the<br />

sheet date is presented as unearned premium reserve.<br />

Recognised as a revenue are accrued premiums less<br />

changes in unearned premium reserves.<br />

The amounts of damage <strong>and</strong> appraisal costs are<br />

recognised as an appraised liability at the time<br />

the damage was incurred. Damages incurred but<br />

not fully resolved as at the balance sheet date are<br />

recognised as liabilities for damages. Liabilities for<br />

damages incurred <strong>and</strong> reported as at the balance<br />

sheet date are formed on the basis of individual<br />

appraisal of damages. Liabilities for damages<br />

incurred but not reported as at the balance sheet<br />

date are assessed through statistical analysis.<br />

Liabilities for damages are further increased by the<br />

estimated costs of resolving such damage cases.<br />

These contracts include contracts insuring events<br />

related to the insured's life (e.g. death, maturity,<br />

additional insurances), over a longer period of time.<br />

The premium is recognised as a revenue when the<br />

policyholder's obligation to pay falls due. Premiums<br />

are disclosed before deduction of expenses.<br />

Liabilities stemming from the insurance contract are<br />

recorded as expenses as they are incurred.<br />

Liabilities for anticipated future contract entitlements<br />

are recorded at the recognition of premiums. For longterm<br />

life insurance contracts with included guarantees<br />

the liabilities on the valuation date are formed in the<br />

amount of current values of the Group's anticipated<br />

future liabilities less the current estimate of future<br />

premiums to be paid-in on the basis of concluded<br />

insurance policies (prospective method). According


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

to IFRS4, BC 116, the Group uses reduction in<br />

insurance liabilities in terms of Zillmer method.<br />

The Zillmer method is an actuarial method used in<br />

traditional life <strong>business</strong> for deferral of acquisition<br />

costs (reduction in mathematical provisions). The<br />

of profits attributable to life insurance is within<br />

the discretion of the management, which passes<br />

a resolution each year setting the amount of<br />

participation in the surplus. This amount is not<br />

specified in the internal regulations.<br />

Zillmer amount for an individual contract does<br />

not exceed 3.5% of the insured sum. Negative<br />

mathematical provisions are set to 0.<br />

In the case of insurance contracts with a single<br />

payment of the premium, or when the period of<br />

premium payments is shorter than the period during<br />

The premises for evaluation of liabilities also take into<br />

account the risk adjustment.<br />

which the entitlements from the insurance contract<br />

are created, the surplus of premiums which have<br />

fallen due is deferred <strong>and</strong> recognised as a revenue as<br />

Liabilities also include liabilities connected with the<br />

distribution of the surplus to holders of life insurance<br />

policies. In accordance with the insurance terms, only<br />

a valid contract of mixed insurance <strong>and</strong> insurance<br />

in annuities which has been in place for at least 24<br />

months at the end of the financial period is included<br />

in the distribution of surplus.<br />

The surplus in endowment life insurance is added<br />

at the end of each year as an additional premium<br />

<strong>and</strong> consequently the sum insured is increased. An<br />

additional insured sum is paid out in the event of<br />

death or maturity. For annuity insurance the addition<br />

of the surplus during the time of postponement of<br />

pension increases the agreed sum of the annuity.<br />

The surplus can be distributed due to higher yield<br />

of investments, under mortality (over mortality for<br />

annuities) or lower expenses than anticipated <strong>and</strong><br />

provided for.<br />

In accordance with insurance terms, the distribution<br />

entitlements from the insurance contract fall due, i.e.<br />

in accordance with anticipated future entitlements.<br />

Deferred revenue on the balance sheet date is<br />

recognised as a liability. For life insurance (with the<br />

exception of extra accident insurance policies) this<br />

part is recognised under liabilities from insurance<br />

contracts. For extra accident insurance policies,<br />

this part is disclosed as a liability for the unearned<br />

premium. The liability is formed using the pro-rata<br />

method for all insurance contracts which do not<br />

involve monthly payments <strong>and</strong> is calculated for each<br />

insurance contract individually.<br />

As the Group has no reinsurance to partially cover its<br />

liabilities from such contracts, the reinsurance part of<br />

liabilities is zero as at 31 December 2007.<br />

Liabilities are calculated on the balance sheet date on<br />

the basis of the assumptions applicable at the time<br />

of concluding such contracts, or in certain cases on<br />

the assumptions which the Group adopted during the<br />

account an adjustment for unanticipated deviations.<br />

Insurance contracts related to unit link cover insurance<br />

Liabilities from damages incurred <strong>and</strong> reported <strong>and</strong><br />

from damages incurred but not reported represent<br />

estimated amounts for:<br />

- claim satteled, but not paid out as of the balance<br />

sheet date;<br />

- incurred but not reported claims as of the balances<br />

- incurred but insufficiently reported claims as of the<br />

balance sheet date (IBNER);<br />

- estimated expenses related to claims h<strong>and</strong>ling.<br />

events referring to the life of the policyholder (in the<br />

event of death <strong>and</strong> maturity) for a long term. An<br />

insurance contract related to unit links is a contract<br />

where the contractual payments are invested in units<br />

of an investment fund selected by the policyholder. In<br />

accordance with the accounting st<strong>and</strong>ard, the financial<br />

<strong>and</strong> insurance parts of the contract do not need to be<br />

separated <strong>and</strong> their accounting does not need to be<br />

conducted separately. Liabilities arising from these<br />

contracts are recognised at fair value to income.<br />

222<br />

Liabilities for reported but not yet resolved claims are<br />

recognised based on the estimated amount <strong>and</strong> are<br />

regularly reviewed. Accident Insurance liabilities related<br />

to incurred but not reported claims are determined: for<br />

the accident insurance base on the statistical method,<br />

for other life insurances base on the trend method.<br />

The premium is recognised as revenue when the<br />

policyholder's obligation to pay falls due. The Group<br />

discloses its liabilities to its policyholders under<br />

liabilities related to unit link insurance contracts tied to<br />

investment fund units, in accordance with the relevant<br />

individual insurance contract <strong>and</strong> product.<br />

The liabilities also include expenses related to claims<br />

h<strong>and</strong>ling in the lump sum amount of 2.5% of total<br />

liabilities. Claims liabilities are not discounted. In<br />

accordance with the reinsurance contract, the Group<br />

discloses the reinsurance part of its liabilities attributable<br />

to damages as reinsurance assets.<br />

Liabilities are increased by premiums <strong>and</strong> decreased<br />

by costs. Furthermore, the amount of liabilities takes<br />

into account changes in the value of funds´ unit prices<br />

<strong>and</strong> is reduced by the management fees <strong>and</strong> risk<br />

premium. In the event of redemption, the liabilities<br />

are reduced <strong>and</strong> the redemption value equals the<br />

Group's liabilities less exit fees charged in the event of<br />

redemption or upon termination of insurance.<br />

It is assumed that the risk premiums charged in<br />

an individual time period for expected population<br />

mortality are adequate to cover the damage

insurance claims from entitlements in the event of<br />

death which exceed the value of units on individual<br />

personal accounts of the policyholders. Additional<br />

liabilities in regard of such claims are therefore<br />

not disclosed. The risk premium for an individual<br />

insurance contract is calculated on a monthly basis<br />

according to the asset value.<br />

On every balance sheet date, contract liability<br />

adequacy tests are carried out. The Group assesses at<br />

For an individual long-term life insurance contract tied<br />

to investment fund units, the balance of liabilities as<br />

at the balance sheet date equals the value of units<br />

increased by unallocated premiums <strong>and</strong> premiums<br />

recognised on an accrual base.<br />

In case of unit-linked contracts, commission expenses<br />

are deferred where the period of reduction in<br />

premium aimed at covering acquisition expenses<br />

does not match with the period in which commission<br />

expenses are paid. Commissions are deferred <strong>and</strong><br />

amortised so as to achieve matching of premiums<br />

<strong>and</strong> commissions in relation to the first two or three<br />

years of policy life in which commissions are paid <strong>and</strong><br />

premium allocation reduction take place.<br />

2.14.1.6 Deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)<br />

Commissions <strong>and</strong> other acquisition costs for unit-linked<br />

insurance contracts that vary with <strong>and</strong> are related to<br />

securing new contracts <strong>and</strong> renewing existing contracts<br />

are deferred <strong>and</strong> charged to the income statement<br />

in proportion to <strong>and</strong> over the period when premium<br />

allocations to the unit-linked insurance liability are<br />

reduced for upfront charges. For non-life insurance<br />

contracts a proportional share of acquisition costs is<br />

deducted from the unearned premium reserves (UPR).<br />

each reporting date whether its recognised insurance<br />

liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of<br />

future cash flows under its insurance contracts,<br />

appraisal costs <strong>and</strong> administration cost. Future cash<br />

flows are discounted using the current market risk free<br />

interest rate. If this estimate shows that the carrying<br />

amount of insurance liabilities is not appropriate from<br />

the aspect of estimated future cash flow, the entire<br />

amount of the deficit is recognised in the profit or loss.<br />

The liability adequacy test is done on the basis of<br />

recognised gross liabilities. The relevant insurance<br />

assets are considered separately. In carrying out the<br />

liability adequacy test the insurance considers only<br />

liabilities which stem from contracts listed under the<br />

insurance contracts category according to the st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />

These liabilities include liabilities for the unearned<br />

premium, liabilities from insurance contracts, deferred<br />

agency fee costs, damage liabilities <strong>and</strong> other liabilities.<br />

If the liability adequacy test indicates inadequate<br />

liabilities, the calculation of liabilities from such<br />

insurance contracts in future periods is done on the<br />

basis of the assumption of the test which showed<br />

inadequate disclosure of liabilities.<br />

2.14.1.8 Reinsurance contracts<br />

2.14.1.9 Receivables <strong>and</strong> payables related to insurance<br />

contracts<br />

Contracts entered into by the Group with reinsurers<br />

under which the Group is compensated for losses on<br />

one or more contracts issued by the Group <strong>and</strong> that<br />

meet the classification requirements for insurance<br />

contracts are classified as reinsurance contracts held.<br />

Receivables <strong>and</strong> payables are recognised when due.<br />

These include amounts due to <strong>and</strong> from agents, brokers<br />

<strong>and</strong> insurance contract holders. If there is objective<br />

evidence that the insurance receivable is impaired, the<br />

Group reduces the carrying amount of the insurance<br />

The benefits to which the Group is entitled under<br />

its reinsurance contracts held are recognised as<br />

receivable accordingly <strong>and</strong> recognises that impairment<br />

loss in the income statement.<br />

reinsurance assets. These assets consist of shortterm<br />

balances due from reinsurers, as well longer<br />

2.14.1.10 Salvage <strong>and</strong> subrogation reimbursements<br />

term receivables that are dependent on the expected<br />

224<br />

claims <strong>and</strong> benefits arising under the related reinsured<br />

insurance contracts. Amounts recoverable from or<br />

due to reinsurers are measured consistently with the<br />

amounts associated with the reinsured insurance<br />

contracts <strong>and</strong> in accordance with the terms of each<br />

reinsurance contract. Reinsurance liabilities are<br />

primarily premiums payable for reinsurance contracts<br />

<strong>and</strong> are recognised as an expense when due.<br />

The Group assesses its reinsurance assets for<br />

impairment on a regular basis. If there is objective<br />

evidence that the reinsurance asset is impaired, the<br />

Group reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance<br />

asset to its recoverable amount <strong>and</strong> recognises that<br />

impairment loss in the income statement.<br />

Some insurance contracts permit the Group to sell<br />

(usually damaged) property acquired in settling a<br />

claim (i.e. salvage). The Group may also have the<br />

right to pursue third parties for payment of some or<br />

all costs (i.e. subrogation).<br />

Estimates of salvage recoveries are included<br />

as an allowance in the measurement of the<br />

insurance liability for claims, <strong>and</strong> salvage property<br />

is recognised in other assets when the liability<br />

is settled. The allowance is the amount that can<br />

reasonably be recovered from the disposal of the<br />

property.<br />

Subrogation reimbursements are also considered as<br />

an allowance in the measurement of the insurance<br />

liability for claims <strong>and</strong> are recognised in other assets<br />

when the liability is settled. The allowance is the<br />

assessment of the amount that can be recovered<br />

from the action against the liable third party.

2.14.2 Investment contracts<br />

insured retires. Each policy is entitled to distribution of<br />

surplus from higher returns than the guaranteed return,<br />

Investment contracts are contracts which involve<br />

financial risk without significant insurance risk.<br />

which are generated through the long-term <strong>business</strong><br />

fund. The generated profit is distributed among the<br />

insured in the form of regular <strong>and</strong> final bonuses, as per<br />

All of the Group's investment contracts include<br />

the option of discretionary participation, giving<br />

policyholders the right to participate in the generated<br />

surplus over the guaranteed returns through<br />

management of assets which relate to such investment<br />

contracts. The attribution of the generated surplus is the<br />

discretionary right of the management.<br />

the insurance conditions. The amount of the regular<br />

bonus is set each year by the management depending<br />

on the market value of assets held in the long-term<br />

<strong>business</strong> fund.<br />

Limited-time annuity insurance is a new form of<br />

savings which represents a source of income for a<br />

In this category the Group includes optional extra<br />

pension insurance under the PN-A01 pension plan,<br />

<strong>and</strong> annuity contracts with specific periods of pay-ins<br />

<strong>and</strong> pay-outs with a fixed (technical) interest rate.<br />

Optional extra pension insurance is based on the<br />

Pension <strong>and</strong> Disability Insurance Act. Its allows extra<br />

pension savings <strong>and</strong> ensures receiving pension benefits<br />

until death. The pension basis is a collective pension<br />

plan which a company, subscribing to the collective<br />

insurance contract <strong>and</strong> wishing to take care of its<br />

employees, may join with a minimum of 51% of all<br />

employees. Through this type of insurance employees<br />

of the company subscribing to the insurance contract,<br />

invest in assets held on special personal pension<br />

accounts. The paid-in assets accrue interest with<br />

guaranteed returns which is at least 60% of the interest<br />

rate on long-term government securities with a maturity<br />

of more than one year. Based on accumulated assets<br />

an additional pension will be calculated when the<br />

specific period, <strong>and</strong> the insured chooses the term of<br />

savings <strong>and</strong> the term of annuity payouts. The Group<br />

guarantees the payout of agreed annuities, which can<br />

be increased during the term of the contract at the<br />

expense of the insured's participation in the profits<br />

realized within the insurance category.<br />

Premiums attributable to investment contracts with<br />

DPF are recognised under revenues, <strong>and</strong> increase of<br />

liabilities is recognised under expenses. Premiums,<br />

damages <strong>and</strong> provisions are recognised the same way<br />

as with life insurance contracts with DPF.<br />

At the end of the <strong>business</strong> year the Group determines<br />

the DPF distribution based on the relaised result/returns<br />

on the pool of assets relating to the investment contracts<br />

(DPF portion). This amount is added to the liabilities<br />

from investment contracts with DPF <strong>and</strong> no unallocated<br />

DPF portion remains as of the end of the year.<br />

recognised in the same way.<br />

The measurement of the liabilities under investment<br />

contracts with DPF is similar to that of insurance<br />

contracts with guaranteed <strong>and</strong> fixed terms. However,<br />

the impact of interest rate risk is different due to the<br />

Where the resulting liability is lower than the sum of<br />

Investment contracts with DPF refers to contract<br />

which do not take significant insurance risk <strong>and</strong> give<br />

additional benefits to the policyholders.<br />

Unearned premium <strong>and</strong> claims reserves are calculated<br />

same as in case of life insurance contracts with DPF.<br />

Mathematical reserves for annuities contracts for<br />

limited time are calculated based on the prospective net<br />

Zillmer method. Its value is calculated as the current<br />

value of future payments of agreed annuities, including<br />

payment commissions, adjusted for current value of<br />

future technical premiums that will be paid based on<br />

these annuity contracts.<br />

Liabilities from long-term pension insurance contracts<br />

are computed as the mathematical product of the value<br />

per unit of the long-term <strong>business</strong> fund <strong>and</strong> the number<br />

of units held on the reporting date. The calculation is<br />

made for each policy. This covers the liability towards the<br />

policy holder. In addition, the Group forms an additional<br />

are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any<br />

difference between the amount at initial recognition<br />

<strong>and</strong> the redemption value is recognised in the<br />

income statement over the period of the borrowings<br />

using the effective interest method.<br />

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless<br />

the Group has an unconditional right to defer<br />

settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after<br />

the balance sheet date.<br />

If the Group purchases its own debt, it is removed<br />

from the balance sheet <strong>and</strong> the difference between<br />

the carrying amount of the liability <strong>and</strong> the<br />

consideration paid is included in investment income.

2.16 Derivative financial instruments <strong>and</strong> accounting<br />

point of hedging<br />

be <strong>and</strong> have been highly effective in offsetting changes<br />

in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The<br />

Group assesses the success of hedging at the time of<br />

Derivative financial instruments including futures <strong>and</strong><br />

forwards, swaps <strong>and</strong> options are initially recognised at<br />

fair value in the balance sheet. Fair values are obtained<br />

from quoted market prices in active markets, including<br />

recent market transactions, <strong>and</strong> valuation techniques,<br />

including discounted cash flow models <strong>and</strong> options<br />

pricing models, as appropriate. All derivatives are<br />

carried as assets when fair value is positive <strong>and</strong> as<br />

liabilities when fair value is negative.<br />

transaction <strong>and</strong> in duration of hedging.<br />

Cash flow hedges<br />

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of<br />

derivatives that are designated <strong>and</strong> qualify as cash flow<br />

hedges is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating<br />

to any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in<br />

the income statement within net fair value gains on<br />

financial assets at fair value through income.<br />

The method of recognising the resulting fair value<br />

gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is<br />

designated as a hedging instrument, <strong>and</strong> if so, the<br />

nature of the item being hedged. The Group uses<br />

derivative financial instruments for hedging of future<br />

cash flows, which are attributable to assets, liabilities<br />

<strong>and</strong> future <strong>business</strong>.<br />

From the accounting point of view hedging is used<br />

only under specific conditions.<br />

The Group documents at the inception of the<br />

transaction the relationship between hedging<br />

instruments <strong>and</strong> hedged items, as well as its risk<br />

management objective <strong>and</strong> strategy for undertaking<br />

various hedging transactions. The Group also<br />

documents its assessment, both at hedge inception<br />

<strong>and</strong> on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives<br />

that are used in hedging transactions are expected to<br />

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the<br />

income statement in the periods in which the hedged<br />

item affects profit or loss.<br />

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or<br />

when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge<br />

accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in<br />

equity at that time remains in equity <strong>and</strong> is recognised<br />

when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised<br />

in the income statement. However, when a forecast<br />

transaction is no longer expected to occur, the<br />

cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is<br />

immediately transferred to the income statement.<br />

deferred taxes are not recorded for temporary differences on<br />

initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction<br />

other than a <strong>business</strong> combination if the transaction,<br />

when initially recorded, affects neither accounting nor<br />

taxable profit. Deferred income tax is determined using tax<br />

rates (<strong>and</strong> laws) that have been enacted or substantively<br />

enacted by the balance sheet date <strong>and</strong> are expected<br />

to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is<br />

realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.<br />

2.20 Revenue recognition<br />

c) Interest income <strong>and</strong> expenses<br />

Interest income <strong>and</strong> expense for all interest-bearing<br />

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration<br />

received or receivable for the sale of goods <strong>and</strong><br />

services, in the ordinary course of the Group’s<br />

activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax,<br />

returns, rebates <strong>and</strong> discounts <strong>and</strong> after eliminated<br />

sales within the Group. The Group recognises revenue<br />

when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured<br />

<strong>and</strong> it is probable that future economic benefits will<br />

flow to the entity <strong>and</strong> specific criteria have been met<br />

for each of the Group’s activities as described below.<br />

The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably<br />

measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale<br />

have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on<br />

historical results, taking into consideration the type of<br />

customer, the type of transaction <strong>and</strong> the specifics of<br />

each arrangement.<br />

a) Sales of goods<br />

Sales of goods are recognised when a <strong>group</strong> entity has<br />

delivered products to the customer <strong>and</strong> the customer<br />

has accepted the products. Revenue is recognised when<br />

it is probable that the economic benefits associated<br />

with the transaction will flow to the <strong>group</strong> entity <strong>and</strong> the<br />

<strong>group</strong> entity has transferred to the buyer the significant<br />

risks <strong>and</strong> rewards of ownership of the goods.<br />

b) Sales of services<br />

Sales of services are recognised in the accounting<br />

period in which the services are rendered, by reference<br />

to completion of the specific transaction assessed on<br />

the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion<br />

of the total services to be provided.<br />

financial instruments, except for those classified as<br />

held for trading or designated at fair value through<br />

profit or loss, are recognised within ‘interest income’<br />

<strong>and</strong> “interest expense” in the income statement using<br />

the effective interest method.<br />

The effective interest method is a method of<br />

calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset<br />

or a financial liability <strong>and</strong> of allocating the interest<br />

income or interest expense over the relevant period.<br />

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly<br />

discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts<br />

through the expected life of the financial instrument<br />

or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net<br />

carrying amount of the financial asset or financial<br />

liability. When calculating the effective interest<br />

rate, the Group estimates cash flows considering<br />

all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for<br />

example, prepayment options) but does not consider<br />

future credit losses. The calculation includes all<br />

fees <strong>and</strong> points paid or received between parties<br />

to the contract that are an integral part of the<br />

effective interest rate, transaction costs <strong>and</strong> all other<br />

premiums or discounts.<br />

Once a financial asset or a <strong>group</strong> of similar financial<br />

assets has been written down as a result of an<br />

impairment loss, interest income is recognised using<br />

the rate of interest used to discount the future cash<br />

flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.<br />

Income from insurance contracts is recognised as<br />

premium income in the following way:<br />

- Income arising from single premium is recognised<br />

when the insurance policy is incepted <strong>and</strong> bills<br />

charged;<br />

- Income arising from long-term insurance contracts<br />

in which the premium is paid in instalments<br />

(monthly, quarterly, annually) is recognised upon<br />

the recognition of premium receivables.<br />

The premium charged by the Group covers<br />

transaction costs (the fees of concluding the<br />

contract, management <strong>and</strong> collection) <strong>and</strong><br />

represents income in the period of settlement. If<br />

a period of more than one year is concerned, a<br />

portion of the premium is deferred as liability <strong>and</strong><br />

transferred to income over the life of the contract.<br />

reasonable under the circumstances.<br />

3.1.1 Estimated impairment of goodwill<br />

The Group annually tests goodwill for potential<br />

impairment in accordance with the accounting<br />

policy stated in Note 2.7. The recoverable amounts<br />

of cash-generating units have been determined<br />

based on value-in-use calculations. These<br />

calculations require the use of estimates.<br />

3.1.2 The ultimate liability arising from claims made<br />

under insurance contracts<br />

The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims<br />

made under insurance contracts is the Group’s most<br />

critical accounting estimate. There are several sources of<br />

uncertainty that need to be considered in the estimate<br />

of the liability that the Group will ultimately pay for such<br />

claims. At each balance sheet date, liability adequacy<br />

tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of liabilities.


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

In performing these tests, current best estimates of<br />

future contractual cash flows <strong>and</strong> claims h<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong><br />

administration expenses, as well as investment income<br />

from the assets backing such liabilities, are used. Any<br />

deficiency is charged to profit or loss by establishing a<br />

provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests.<br />

is summarised <strong>and</strong> presented by insurance contract<br />

category.<br />

Expected cash flows are generated for:<br />

- premiums (life insurance contracts <strong>and</strong> extra<br />

accident insurance),<br />

- payout of damages (death, maturity, annuities,<br />

redemptions, accident loss),<br />

At each balance sheet date, liability adequacy tests<br />

are performed to ensure the adequacy of the contract<br />

liabilities net of related deferred acquisition cost (DAC)<br />

- costs (remaining commission fees, administrative<br />

fees, costs of damages), <strong>and</strong><br />

- revenues from investments.<br />

assets. In performing these tests, current best estimates<br />

of future contractual cash flows <strong>and</strong> claims h<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong><br />

administration expenses, as well as investment income<br />

from the assets backing such liabilities, are used. Any<br />

deficiency is immediately charged to profit or loss initially<br />

by writing off DAC <strong>and</strong> by subsequently establishing a<br />

provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests<br />

(the unexpired risk provision).<br />

Long-term insurance contracts with fixed terms are<br />

measured based on assumptions set out at the inception<br />

of the contract. When the liability adequacy test requires<br />

the adoption of new best estimate assumptions, such<br />

assumptions (without margins for adverse deviation) are<br />

used for the subsequent measurement of these liabilities.<br />

Any DAC written off as a result of this test cannot<br />

subsequently be reinstated.<br />

The test is carried out separately for life <strong>and</strong> non-life<br />

insurance.<br />

1. Liability adequacy test for life insurance<br />

The test is carried out for each contract which was<br />

valid on the balance sheet date, <strong>and</strong> the outcome<br />

For individual future cash flows the following items are<br />

taken into consideration:<br />

- provisions of individual insurance policies (amount<br />

of the premium, premium payment dynamics,<br />

amount of the insured sum for the event of death<br />

<strong>and</strong> maturity, amount of annuities),<br />

- technical bases of the relevant products (mortality<br />

tables, interest rate, initial fee costs, other<br />

administrative costs), <strong>and</strong><br />

- assumptions (the realised mortality rates for life<br />

insurance policies, mortality in annuity insurance,<br />

rates of redemption, future profitability, level of realised<br />

administrative costs, future inflation, damage outcome<br />

from accident insurance policies, profitability...).<br />

Assumptions are individually explained.<br />

The cash flows for individual years (development up to<br />

80 years) are discounted on the balance sheet date.<br />

Economic <strong>and</strong> operative assumptions<br />

1. Risk discount rate<br />

In order to calculate the present value of future cash<br />

flows the euro area risk discount rate graph is used<br />

2. Investment return<br />

In the calculation a 5.5% rate of return was used<br />

for the first 10 years <strong>and</strong> 5.16% years for the<br />

subsequent years, with a 7% rate of return for<br />

products involving investment risk.<br />

the LAT calculation, 55% of the probability included<br />

in the moratlity tables was used.<br />

For annuities contracts, the Group used the Austrian<br />

annuity tables from 1996, which, based on the<br />

opinion of the Management, shows the actual life<br />

expectancyof the population.<br />

Costs of operations (administration, administration,<br />

costs of payout of damages ...) were calculated on<br />

the basis of estimates contained in the technical<br />

bases of the product, multiplied by a factor which<br />

represents an estimate of expected realised costs<br />

compared to those calculated into the products,<br />

under the assumption that one-half of the costs is<br />

not subject to inflation. Other costs are increased at<br />

the inflation rates listed in the above table.<br />

Management believes that the use of different tables<br />

presents the best estimation of the liabilities related to<br />

life insurance contracts with DPF.<br />

6. Redemption rates<br />

Based on an analysis of redemptions of life insurance<br />

policies <strong>and</strong> investment risk insurance policies, the<br />

following rates of redemption are used:<br />

7. Damage from extra accident insurance contracts<br />

Based on historical data the future damage from<br />

extra accident insurance is estimated at 40% of the<br />

extra accident insurance premium.<br />

5. Mortality<br />

Within the calculation of the liabilitity adequacy test<br />

for life insurance contracts with DPF, mortality rates<br />

were used based on the last 10 years’ experience.<br />

This shows that the acutal probability of the insured<br />

population is only 55% of the probability which is<br />

The opinion on the adequacy of liabilities for 2007<br />

- to be added when the test is carried out<br />

Liabilities as calculated using LAT as per<br />

31.12.2007 are lower than liabilities the Group<br />

recognised in its financial statements using its own<br />

methodology. The test has proven the adequacy of<br />

liabilities formed for life insurance contracts.<br />

The Group first adopted LAT for fiscal year 2006.<br />

expenses attributable to the unexpired periods of<br />

policies in force at the balance sheet date with the<br />

amount of unearned premiums in relation to such<br />

policies after. Expected cash flows relating to claims<br />

<strong>and</strong> expenses are estimated by reference to the<br />

experience during the expired portion of the contracts,<br />

adjusted for significant individual losses which are not<br />

expected to recur.<br />

The liability adequacy test for property insurance<br />

contracts is carried out for liabilities attributable to<br />

3.1.1 Estimate of future benefit payments <strong>and</strong><br />

premiums arising from long-term insurance contracts<br />

the unearned premium reserve <strong>and</strong> related DAC. <strong>We</strong><br />

consider that the formed liabilities for damages <strong>and</strong><br />

liabilities for bonuses <strong>and</strong> discounts are based on<br />

undiscounted test estimates of management using<br />

actuarial techniques are adequate so no further<br />

adequacy test is considered necessary.<br />

The liability adequacy test for property <strong>and</strong> health<br />

insurance was performed for all insurance liabilities.<br />

Insurance liabilities related to incurred <strong>and</strong> reported<br />

claims <strong>and</strong> incurred but not reported claims are<br />

calculated by using current assumptions <strong>and</strong> therefore<br />

represent the best estimation of the current liabilities<br />

from the insurance contracts.<br />

The liability adequacy test is therefore limited to the<br />

unexpired portion of existing contracts. It is performed<br />

by comparing the expected value of claims <strong>and</strong><br />

The determination of the liabilities under long-term<br />

insurance contracts is dependent on estimates<br />

made by the Group. Estimates are made as to the<br />

expected number of deaths for each of the years in<br />

which the Group is exposed to risk. The Group bases<br />

these estimates on st<strong>and</strong>ard industry <strong>and</strong> national<br />

mortality tables that reflect recent historical mortality<br />

experience, adjusted where appropriate to reflect the<br />

Group’s own experience. For contracts that insure<br />

the risk of longevity, appropriate but not excessively<br />

prudent allowance is made for expected mortality<br />

improvements. The estimated number of deaths<br />

determines the value of the benefit payments <strong>and</strong> the<br />

value of the valuation premiums. The main source<br />

of uncertainty is that epidemics such as AIDS, SARS<br />

<strong>and</strong> wide-ranging lifestyle changes, such as in eating,<br />

smoking <strong>and</strong> exercise habits, could result in future<br />

mortality being significantly worse than in the past for the<br />

age <strong>group</strong>s in which the Group has significant exposure<br />

to mortality risk. However, continuing improvements<br />

in medical care <strong>and</strong> social conditions could result in<br />

improvements in longevity in excess of those allowed<br />

for in the estimates used to determine the liability for<br />

contracts where the Group is exposed to longevity risk.<br />

as a result of damage claims. On the balance sheet<br />

date liability adequacy tests are carried out in order<br />

to ensure the adequacy of the disclosed contractual<br />

liabilities. In the performance of these tests the Group<br />

uses its best estimates of future cash flows, appraisal<br />

<strong>and</strong> administrative costs <strong>and</strong> investment incomes from<br />

assets which cover these liabilities. Through formation of<br />

234<br />

For long-term insurance contracts with fixed <strong>and</strong><br />

guaranteed terms, estimates are made in two stages.<br />

Estimates of future deaths, voluntary terminations,<br />

investment returns <strong>and</strong> administration expenses are<br />

made at the inception of the contract <strong>and</strong> form the<br />

assumptions used for calculating the liabilities during<br />

the life of the contract. A margin for risk <strong>and</strong> uncertainty<br />

is added to these assumptions. These assumptions<br />

are “locked in” for the duration of the contract. New<br />

estimates are made each subsequent year in order to<br />

determine whether the previous liabilities are adequate<br />

in the light of these latest estimates. If the liabilities are<br />

considered adequate, the assumptions are not altered.<br />

If they are not adequate, the assumptions are altered<br />

(“unlocked”) to reflect the best estimate assumptions. A<br />

key feature of the adequacy testing for these contracts<br />

is that the effects of changes in the assumptions on the<br />

measurement of the liabilities <strong>and</strong> related assets are not<br />

symmetrical. Any improvements in estimates have no<br />

impact on the value of the liabilities <strong>and</strong> related assets<br />

until the liabilities are derecognised, while significant<br />

enough deterioration in estimates is immediately<br />

recognised to make the liabilities adequate.<br />

There are several areas of uncertainty which must be<br />

taken into consideration when preparing the estimation<br />

of liabilities which the Group will be required to pay<br />

provisions for losses stemming from the liability adequacy<br />

tests, the found deviations affect the profit or loss.<br />

Long-term insurance contracts with certain guarantees<br />

are measured on the basis of assumptions used at the<br />

signing of the contract. If the liability adequacy test<br />

requires the use of new assumptions based on the best<br />

estimate, these are used for subsequent measurement<br />

of these liabilities (without the adjustment for<br />

unfavourable experience).<br />

3.1.4 Impairment of available-for-sale equity financial<br />

assets<br />

The Group determines that available-for-sale equity<br />

financial assets are impaired when there has been a<br />

significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below<br />

its cost. This determination of what is significant<br />

or prolonged requires judgement. In making this<br />

judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors,<br />

the normal volatility in share price, the financial health<br />

of the investee, industry <strong>and</strong> sector performance,<br />

changes in technology <strong>and</strong> operational <strong>and</strong> financing<br />

cash flow. Impairment may be appropriate when there<br />

is evidence of deterioration in the financial health of the<br />

investee, industry <strong>and</strong> sector performance, changes in<br />

technology, <strong>and</strong> financing <strong>and</strong> operational cash flows.

3.1.5 Impairment losses on loans <strong>and</strong> receivables<br />

3.1.7 Employee benefits<br />

In determining whether an impairment loss should be<br />

recorded in the income statement, the Group makes<br />

judgments as to whether there is any observable<br />

data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in<br />

the estimated future cash flows. This evidence may<br />

include observable data indicating that there has been<br />

The employee benefits obligations (jubilee rewards<br />

<strong>and</strong> retirement benefit bonuses) are measured using<br />

the actuarial valuations, therefore some actuarial<br />

estimates <strong>and</strong> assumptions are needed, such<br />

as rates of employee turnover, early retirement,<br />

discount rate, future salary levels, etc.<br />

an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers<br />

in a <strong>group</strong>, or national or local economic conditions<br />

3.1.8 Income taxes<br />

that correlate with defaults on assets in the <strong>group</strong>.<br />

Management uses estimates based on historical loss<br />

experience for assets with credit risk characteristics<br />

<strong>and</strong> objective evidence of impairment similar to those<br />

in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows.<br />

The methodology <strong>and</strong> assumptions used for estimating<br />

both the amount <strong>and</strong> timing of future cash flows are<br />

reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between<br />

loss estimates <strong>and</strong> actual loss experience.<br />

3.1.6 Held-to-maturity investments<br />

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying<br />

non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable<br />

payments <strong>and</strong> fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This<br />

classification requires significant judgement. In making<br />

this judgement, the Group evaluates its intention <strong>and</strong><br />

ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group<br />

fails to keep these investments to maturity other than<br />

for the specific circumstances – for example, selling an<br />

insignificant amount close to maturity – it will be required<br />

to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale. The<br />

investments would therefore be measured at fair value<br />

<strong>and</strong> not at amortised cost.<br />

The Group is subject to income taxes in different<br />

jurisdictions. Some estimates are required in<br />

determining the amount of provision for income<br />

taxes. There are many transactions <strong>and</strong> calculations<br />

for which the ultimative tax determination is<br />

uncertain during the ordinary course of <strong>business</strong>.<br />

Due to changes in the future income tax rate some<br />

estimates regarding the disposals of available-forsale<br />

portfolio have to be made by the management<br />

when calculating the deferred tax liability. Additionally<br />

the management best estimates of future taxable<br />

profits are used for calculating the deferred tax asset<br />

regarding the carry-forward income tax losses.<br />

4. Comparatives<br />

Some changes in the presentation of the financial<br />

statements have been made in order the financial<br />

statements would give better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the<br />

activities <strong>and</strong> transactions of the Group. Where<br />

necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted<br />

to conform with changes in presentation in the<br />

5. Risk management<br />

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of<br />

risks: strategic risks, insurance <strong>and</strong> financial risks,<br />

operating risks <strong>and</strong> general <strong>business</strong> risk.<br />

The Group is exposed to financial risks through<br />

its financial assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities, reinsurance<br />

receivables <strong>and</strong> insurance liabilities. The principal<br />

financial risk is the possibility that the inflows from<br />

financial investments will not be sufficient to cover<br />

the outflows arising from insurance contracts.<br />

The most significant components of this risk are<br />

the change in the interest rate risk, the prices of<br />

securities risk, currency <strong>and</strong> credit risk.<br />

The purpose of financial risk management process<br />

is above all to maintain the stability of operations<br />

<strong>and</strong> reduce the exposure to individual risks to an<br />

acceptable level. Because of highly diversified<br />

activities, the Group is mainly faced with insurance<br />

<strong>and</strong> financial risks.<br />

Risk management is a continuous cyclical process,<br />

which can be divided into three stages. At the first<br />

stage, potential risks are identified. At the second<br />

stage, individual risks are modelled <strong>and</strong> measured.


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

These models serve as a basis for measuring the<br />

level of exposure an individual company in the Group<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Group to individual risks. On the basis<br />

of identification <strong>and</strong> measurement of risks in the<br />

Group, the management adopts adequate measures<br />

for reducing or controlling these risks (stage three).<br />

insurer is the possibility that claims <strong>and</strong> benefits<br />

exceed the amount of insurance liabilities (technical<br />

provisions) created for a portfolio of insurance<br />

contracts using statistical methods. This may happen<br />

because of the change in the frequency of claims or<br />

their amount which can be higher than expected.<br />

Measures used by the management are different <strong>and</strong><br />

depend on the level of exposure <strong>and</strong> the type of risk.<br />

Insured events are incidental which means that<br />

their number <strong>and</strong> amount varies in individual years<br />

The management of the Group manages risks present<br />

in individual companies in the Group <strong>and</strong> on the level<br />

of the Group as a whole. It thereby sets guidelines<br />

concerning the balance between the risks, returns <strong>and</strong><br />

capital, performs periodic controls <strong>and</strong> sets guidelines<br />

for implementation of <strong>business</strong> policies <strong>and</strong> strategy<br />

<strong>and</strong> in relation to statistically established averages.<br />

Experience shows that the larger the portfolio of<br />

similar insurance contracts, the smaller the relative<br />

variability of the expected outcome will be. In<br />

addition, a more diversified portfolio is less likely to<br />

be affected by a change in any subset of the portfolio.<br />

for individual companies in the Group.<br />

Individual companies in the Group have established<br />

a system of reporting for the needs of management<br />

that enables regular monitoring of risks to which<br />

they are exposed. The insurance companies in<br />

the Group have set up investment <strong>and</strong> liquidity<br />

committees, which take care of the ALM function.<br />

Types of risks<br />

Insurance companies in the Group have developed<br />

their own policy of concluding insurance contracts<br />

with the aim of spreading the assumed risks <strong>and</strong><br />

achieve, within each individual category, a sufficient<br />

amount of risk population to reduce the variability of<br />

expected results. The principal means for reducing<br />

insurance risks is reinsurance, i.e. the transfer of<br />

risks that exceed the predetermined amount to the<br />

reinsurance company.<br />

237<br />

5.1 Insurance risk<br />

Risk related to the insurance policy represents the<br />

possibility that the event insured against actually<br />

occurs <strong>and</strong> uncertainty in relation to the amount<br />

of the sum insured or indemnity. It is the nature of<br />

insurance contracts that insurance risks are incidental<br />

<strong>and</strong> unpredictable; however, the main risk for the<br />

When developing a new insurance product it is<br />

very important that the parameters defining the<br />

insurance premium are assessed adequately. The<br />

risk accepted by the Group at the inception of an<br />

insurance contract is reflected in the price, i.e. the<br />

insurance premium. If the parameters defining the<br />

insurance premium are not assessed adequately<br />

when developing a new insurance product, this is a


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

risk for the Group to which it is exposed during the<br />

entire life cycle of the insurance product.<br />

In the management's opinion, the important risks<br />

faced by the Group in its operations are the following:<br />

In the context of insurance risk the Group is<br />

exposed to underwriting process risk, product<br />

design risk, pricing risk, economic environment<br />

risk, policyholder behaviour risk, reserving risk,<br />

claims risk. Insurance risks are also managed with<br />

reinsurance protection.<br />

- Underwriting process risk, the danger of<br />

misevaluation of accepted risk. This risk involves<br />

mistaken decisions to underwrite a risk regardless<br />

of the risk exposure of the insured, insurance on the<br />

basis of inaccurate <strong>and</strong> incomplete information on the<br />

insured, incorrect information about the amount of<br />

maximum potential damage, or potential inappropriate<br />

5.1.1. Description of risks<br />

acquisition of reinsurance coverage by the reinsurer.<br />

238<br />

Insurance activities are based on managing insurance<br />

risks. Insurance risks apply to risks accepted by<br />

the insurer from the policyholder. Insurance risks<br />

are r<strong>and</strong>om <strong>and</strong> unpredictable. At the signing of an<br />

insurance contract the insurer accepts the risk to repay<br />

the insured the agreed contractual amount if an insured<br />

event occurs or if the contract expires, whereas when<br />

the insured event will occur is uncertain.<br />

Insurance cases are r<strong>and</strong>om, their number <strong>and</strong><br />

amounts vary from year to year <strong>and</strong> deviate from<br />

statistical averages. The Group is therefore engaging<br />

in diversifying <strong>and</strong> increasing its portfolio. This allows<br />

it to disperse the risk <strong>and</strong> lower the variability of<br />

expected events. An important instrument to lower<br />

insurance risks is reinsurance, i.e. the transfer of<br />

risks which exceed a predetermined amount, to a<br />

reinsurer. The Group further manages insurance risks<br />

through effective performance of internal controls,<br />

internal audits <strong>and</strong> forming appropriate insurance<br />

technical provisions to cover potential future liabilities<br />

stemming from existing insurance contracts.<br />

The Group manages the aforementioned risk through<br />

providing guidelines for accepting insurance risks, using<br />

software for accepting insurance risks, strict criteria <strong>and</strong><br />

procedures for accepting insurance risks, especially for<br />

large insured sums <strong>and</strong> coverages. Also, the Group has<br />

concluded an obligatory reinsurance contract with its<br />

reinsurer, by which the reinsured risks over a certain<br />

contractually agreed insured sum are automatically<br />

reinsured. The Group also monitors damage results <strong>and</strong><br />

analyses any worsening thereof.<br />

- The risk of inadequate assessment of liabilities<br />

stemming from insurance contracts<br />

(reserving risk) is the risk that these reserves will not be<br />

adequate to cover the liabilities stemming from accepted<br />

risks, or the risk that future damage payments will<br />

exceed the evaluated amount of liabilities.<br />

The Group regularly checks the adequacy of liability<br />

calculations <strong>and</strong> the adequacy of used assumptions<br />

in the calculation of higher liabilities stemming from<br />

insurance contracts. The Group also carries out


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

liability adequacy tests. If the liability adequacy test<br />

indicates that the liabilities are under-presented, they<br />

are increased.<br />

products) to 4% (older products). The adequacy of<br />

returns on investments of insured liabilities in the<br />

future is checked on a regular basis.<br />

For isurance contracts with DPF component<br />

<strong>and</strong> insurance contracts related to unit-linked<br />

assumptions on future mortality, interest rates,<br />

contract terminations <strong>and</strong> administrative costs are<br />

applied. These assumptions are used to determine<br />

liabilities stemming from the insurance contract. The<br />

assumptions also include a risk adjustment.<br />

On each reporting date the assumptions are reset<br />

to reflect current assumptions <strong>and</strong> are used to<br />

check whether the liabilities have been adequately<br />

evaluated. If the liabilities are inadequate, the<br />

assumptions are changed to reflect the current<br />

state. Current assumptions do not contain the risk<br />

adjustment.<br />

For estimations on the mortality rate, mortality tables<br />

are used, as in the past the portfolio of insurance<br />

contracts has been too small for it to be able to<br />

rely on its own experience. Thus, for insurance<br />

for the event of death <strong>and</strong> insurance for the event<br />

of death <strong>and</strong> maturity, the Group uses Slovenian<br />

mortality tables made in 1990-1992, <strong>and</strong> for annuity<br />

insurance it uses Austrian annuity tables from the<br />

year 1996. In comparison with 2006, the Group has<br />

not changed its assumptions regarding population<br />

mortality. In the context of managing insurance risk,<br />

actuarial services are constantly checking the applied<br />

assumptions against the actual damage result, by<br />

individual insurance products.<br />

It is the management's assessment that Slovenian<br />

mortality tables adequately reflect expectations with<br />

regard to maturity <strong>and</strong> mortality rate of the Slovenian<br />

population.<br />

In its long-term insurance products the Group uses<br />

interest rates ranging from 2.75% (new insurance<br />

The assumption on mortality is determined using<br />

the statistical mortality rate <strong>and</strong> analyses of actual<br />

mortality of the insurance portfolio in the past <strong>and</strong><br />

current year. Also, in cases of disability statistical<br />

tables <strong>and</strong> the insurance, own experience is used.<br />

The Group also regularly analyses the duration of<br />

insurance contracts <strong>and</strong> monitors the movements of<br />

such durations over the period by main products <strong>and</strong>, as<br />

necessary, by sales channels if more significant deviations<br />

occur. These analyses are used when estimating the<br />

duration of insurance contracts with a view to providing<br />

the best possible assessment of the insured's behavior.<br />

The return on investment affects the amount of<br />

future payouts from insurance contracts. When<br />

determining returns, the Group considers government<br />

bonds as risk-free securities, <strong>and</strong> for other securities<br />

risk adjustments are applied. Considering this <strong>and</strong><br />

considering the structure of investments for covering<br />

liabilities, pondered returns of the investment<br />

portfolio are calculated.<br />

Future costs are determined on the basis of current<br />

costs. Additionally, the assumption of future inflation<br />

is also used, which is based on the EU's long-term<br />

projections for the EUR currency.<br />

product, amount of the commission to insurance<br />

agents <strong>and</strong> other potential costs. The Group also<br />

measures <strong>and</strong> monitors the profitability of individual<br />

products<br />

- Pricing risk applies to the risk that the amount<br />

of the insurance premium is not adequate for<br />

covering the insurance liabilities stemming<br />

from damage claims <strong>and</strong> operating costs. The<br />

reasons can vary, e.g. unsuitable statistical<br />

data, inadequate assessment of damage events,<br />

- Product design risk is the risk that, when calculating<br />

the insurance premium, the Group will be exposed to<br />

the danger of non-consideration of the potential for the<br />

occurrence of new diseases <strong>and</strong> accidents which could<br />

significantly affect the movement of future damage<br />

claim cases. This risk is important for life insurance.<br />

low premium due to competition, unsuitable<br />

240<br />

premium for new products, unsuitable mortality,<br />

annuity, morbidity tables, inadequate amount of<br />

expenses calculated into the price of the product.<br />

Furthermore we can speak about the adequacy of<br />

the used probability tables, which further expose<br />

the Group to risks of natural death, longevity,<br />

critical illness <strong>and</strong> accident.<br />

Already at the new product planning stage,<br />

the Group diligently checks <strong>and</strong> acquires the<br />

necessary statistics which confirm the suitability<br />

of the assumptions used. In the case of high-risk<br />

products such as additional coverage for critical<br />

illness, the Group's general terms <strong>and</strong> conditions<br />

allow the possibility of subsequent change in the<br />

amount of the insurance premium if new statistics<br />

or damage events indicate that the premium is too<br />

low. Similarly, the Group diligently monitors the<br />

amount of actual costs <strong>and</strong>, after analysing these<br />

costs, calculates the amount of costs to include in<br />

the price of individual products, which depends on<br />

the type of product, special costs involved in the<br />

As already mentioned under pricing risk, in certain<br />

higher-risk insurance products the Group does not<br />

guarantee the amount of the insurance premium<br />

during the insurance coverage period. In addition<br />

certain increases are used in the mortality <strong>and</strong><br />

morbidity tables. The Group also follows mortality<br />

<strong>and</strong> morbidity trends. Certain modern illnesses are<br />

excluded from the insurance terms <strong>and</strong> conditions.<br />

In this context the Group has established cooperation<br />

with a reinsurer, which transfers certain knowledge<br />

<strong>and</strong> findings to the Group.<br />

- Cost risk is the risk for potential losses which<br />

could occur as a result of misevaluation of costs<br />

when setting prices <strong>and</strong> misevaluation of changed<br />

circumstances in the macroeconomic environment<br />

which could cause excess growth in the Group's<br />

operating costs.<br />

The procedures for managing risk related to<br />

unsuitable cost assessment are based on an<br />

established system of recording <strong>and</strong> allocating


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

costs under cost centers <strong>and</strong> cost units, on<br />

constant monitoring of the movement of costs,<br />

<strong>and</strong> on adopting appropriate measures in case of<br />

unfavourable developments.<br />

In property insurance a significant risk factor is<br />

climate change, which increases the frequency<br />

of extreme weather events (flooding, hail, etc).<br />

For liability insurance, characterised by lengthy<br />

procedures which can take several years for damage<br />

- The risk that social circumstances will change<br />

so as to have an adverse effect on the Group can<br />

be classified under economic environment risk.<br />

cases to be resolved, a significant risk factor is the<br />

increase of legal actions, especially involving<br />

non-material claims (coverage <strong>and</strong> amount).<br />

Increase in the unemployment rate <strong>and</strong> reduction<br />

of purchase power can cause more damage<br />

in credit insurance, fewer insurance contracts<br />

concluded, more cancellations of life <strong>and</strong> pension<br />

insurance contracts. This <strong>group</strong> may also include<br />

the risk of change in case-law when adjudicating<br />

damage claims.<br />

In the interest of managing insurance risk, the<br />

Group has concluded reinsurance contracts whereby<br />

it transfers a portion of this risk to the reinsuring.<br />

Each financial year the management adopts a<br />

planned reinsurance program which includes<br />

calculations of all maximum own insurance shares<br />

- Policyholder behavior risk - insurance fraud.<br />

- Claims risk involves the risk that damages will be<br />

higher than expected in number <strong>and</strong>/or amount,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the risk of excessive portion of self-coverage<br />

due to inadequate reinsurance coverage, especially<br />

in cases of catastrophic events.<br />

In life insurance contracts with coverage for the<br />

event of death, the number <strong>and</strong> amount of damages<br />

is most affected by epidemics, change in lifestyle<br />

such as change in dietary habits, physical exercise<br />

<strong>and</strong> smoking. For life insurance contracts where the<br />

insured event is maturity, <strong>and</strong> for health insurance<br />

contracts, the greatest risk factor is the advancement<br />

of medicine <strong>and</strong> improvement of the population's<br />

social status, along with increasing longevity.<br />

by insurance category, as well as the maximum<br />

coverage table <strong>and</strong> certain procedures, bases<br />

<strong>and</strong> criteria for determining the largest possible<br />

damage. The reinsurance program consists of<br />

traditional proportional <strong>and</strong> nonproportional forms of<br />

reinsurance coverage, <strong>and</strong> it also includes a contract<br />

for natural disasters.<br />

5.1.2. Frequency <strong>and</strong> amount of damages<br />

Concentration of insurance risk can stem from a<br />

single insurance contract or from a smaller number<br />

of contracts covering low-probability events with<br />

high damage potential, such as insurance for<br />

earthquakes <strong>and</strong> other natural disasters.<br />

In insurance for the event of death, the greatest<br />

could lead to premature damage or greater damage<br />

than anticipated. For insurance contracts where the<br />

The table above lists the premium of the 10 or<br />

Considering the fact that their share is relatively<br />

small in comparison with the overall portfolio, we<br />

can deduce that the Group's portfolio is sufficiently<br />

diversified <strong>and</strong> that it is not overly exposed to a few<br />

large clients.<br />

In the property insurance segment the risks to which<br />

the Group is exposed vary depending on the industry<br />

in which the insured are active. The table below<br />

shows the concentration of liabilities from property<br />

insurance by industry in which the insured are active.<br />

The maximum loss (maximum sum insured) shown<br />

is categorised by size into three categories.

5.1.3 Non-life <strong>and</strong> health insurance contracts - assumptions<br />

<strong>and</strong> changes of assumptions<br />

<br />

balance sheet date (IBNR)<br />

IBNR liabilities are established on the level of<br />

a) procedure of establishing assumptions<br />

insurance categories using a triangle (chain ladder)<br />

method or statistical method.<br />

The main assumptions which affect disclosure of<br />

244<br />

liabilities stemming from property insurance contracts<br />

relate to establishing liabilities for damage claims. The<br />

procedure for assessing liabilities varies depending<br />

on the nature of incidence of loss <strong>and</strong> takes place<br />

on the insurance categories level. The calculation of<br />

provisions for damage claims is divided into two parts,<br />

considering the nature of individual damage:<br />

<br />

balance sheet date<br />

On the basis of a review of all damages reported but not<br />

yet paid out as at the balance sheet date, an assessment<br />

is made on expected liabilities stemming from future<br />

payouts of individual damage claims. Larger cases of<br />

material damage are appraised by in-house appraisers,<br />

<strong>and</strong> non-material damages (e.g. liability claims) <strong>and</strong><br />

claims in legal proceedings are assessed by in-house<br />

legal experts (lawyers). Liabilities from damages which<br />

are paid out in the form of annuities are assessed by the<br />

Group as the present value of future payouts, where a<br />

2.6% discount factor is applied.<br />

The Chain Ladder method can be based on recognised<br />

or accrued damages with monthly or annual<br />

development factors, depending on the characteristics<br />

of the incidence of loss <strong>and</strong> procedures for resolving<br />

damage claims. The damages are arranged in a<br />

triangle, where the rows represent the year the<br />

damage was incurred, <strong>and</strong> the columns represent<br />

the number of years from the time the damage was<br />

incurred to recognising or accrual of the damage.<br />

Prediction of final damages is based on the calculation<br />

of average annual development factors.<br />

The statistical method is based on reviewing past<br />

damage claims. The IBNR calculation is made on<br />

the level of individual insurance category as the<br />

mathematical product of the estimated number of<br />

IBNR damages <strong>and</strong> the estimated value of IBNR<br />

damages. The estimated number of IBNR damages<br />

reported after 1 January 2007 is calculated by


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

multiplying the number of reported damages in 2006<br />

b) Changes of assumptions<br />

by the average factor of damages reported later in<br />

relation to all reported damages over the past three<br />

years. The estimated value of IBNR damages equals<br />

There were no changes of assumptions for<br />

insurance contracts in 2007 according to 2006.<br />

the average value of IBRN damages in the past year<br />

or the average value of damages paid in the past year<br />

5.1.4 Long term life insurance – assumptions, changes<br />

of assumptions <strong>and</strong> sensitivity<br />

Preparing the financial statements in accordance<br />

with IFRS require best estimations of liabilities<br />

using assumptions which reflect the current market<br />

(a) procedure of establishing assumptions<br />

situation.<br />

Liabilities from life insurance contracts with DPF were<br />

calculated using assumptions on future mortality from<br />

statistical tables; the portfolio of insurance contracts<br />

was too small in the past so for the purpose of<br />

estimation of mortalitiy the statistical tables are used:<br />

- for life insurance contracts with DPF Slovenian<br />

mortality tables from 1992 were used;<br />

These assumptions are set at the time of concluding<br />

the contract <strong>and</strong> remain the same throughout the<br />

term of insurance, or safer assumptions are used in<br />

the calculation of liability to provide for the possibility<br />

of unfavourable deviation from expectations. An<br />

additional adjustment is applied to these assumptions<br />

to account for the risk <strong>and</strong> uncertainty.<br />

- for annuity products German mortalitiy tables from<br />

1987 were used.


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

New estimates are made for each subsequent financial<br />

year with the purpose of checking the adequacy of<br />

liabilities determined in this manner. If it is determined<br />

that established liabilities are adequate, assumptions<br />

remain unchanged. If the established liabilities prove<br />

to be inadequate, assumptions are revised to reflect<br />

new expectations. Consequently the provisions are<br />

measured according to the appropriate level.<br />

<br />

The Group established assumptions for returns on<br />

investments by taking into account present returns<br />

on government-issued securities <strong>and</strong> other financial<br />

instruments on the market. In addition to this, the<br />

structure of assets which are used to cover liabilities<br />

stemming from life insurance contracts (longterm<br />

<strong>business</strong> fund) is taken into consideration by<br />

determining weighted average returns.<br />

The assumptions used for insurance contracts<br />

described hereunder are as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

Future costs are determined on the basis of current<br />

costs. The future inflation assumption was also applied.<br />

Depending on the type of contract the appropriate<br />

mortality table is chosen <strong>and</strong> adjusted to reflect<br />

(b) Changes in assumptions<br />

actual mortality of the insurance portfolio in past<br />

years <strong>and</strong> the current period.<br />

<br />

An analysis of the Group's experience of the past<br />

3 years is carried out by application of statistical<br />

methods, <strong>and</strong> the appropriate cancellation percentage<br />

is determined. Cancellation percentages vary by type<br />

of product <strong>and</strong> term of the insurance period. The<br />

analysis is carried out in order to determine the best<br />

estimate of the policyholders' behavior.<br />

In 2007 the Group made no changes to the assumptions<br />

used in the calculation of insurance contracts.<br />

5.1.5. Sensitivity analysis<br />

The Group made a sensitivity analysis of net profits<br />

before taxes on the last day of the financial year,<br />

with consideration of various parameters.<br />

5.1.6. Risk management in the area of reinsurance<br />

protection<br />

based on the amount of the Group's own shares <strong>and</strong><br />

insurance portfolio profiles.<br />

General description of the purpose <strong>and</strong> goals of<br />

reinsurance protection<br />

The Group has unified the maximum of own shares<br />

at civil liability insurance. The maximum of own<br />

shares in other types of insurance compared with<br />

The basic purpose of reinsurance protection is the<br />

the past year is unchanged.<br />

transfer of insurance risks which the <strong>group</strong> is unable to<br />

offset with its own assets to reinsurers. In this context<br />

we strive towards optimal protection from large-scale<br />

individual losses as well as mass losses. The decision<br />

on the scale <strong>and</strong> structure of reinsurance protection is<br />

Proportional <strong>and</strong> non-proportional reinsurance<br />

protection ensures automatic coverage of the vast<br />

majority of underwritten risks, even in the event of<br />

potential risk assessment errors. For exceptional risks


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

which exceed the contractual reinsurance protection by<br />

scale, special optional reinsurance protection is ensured.<br />

Analysis of the Groupʼs portfolio from the aspect of<br />

reinsurance risk<br />

Basic assumptions used in sensitivity tests<br />

In the largest <strong>group</strong> of other property insurance<br />

contracts we analysed the sensitivity of individual<br />

<strong>We</strong> assume two types of reinsurance protection<br />

risks. The first risk is whether the structure<br />

<strong>and</strong> scale of protection have been adequately<br />

chosen, which can be checked by simulation of<br />

whether decreasing reinsurance protection would<br />

significantly decrease net profit or loss, which<br />

would consequently jeopardise the Group's capital<br />

adequacy. The second risk is whether the profit<br />

or loss would worsen significantly if an aboveaverage<br />

number of large-scale <strong>and</strong> mass losses<br />

(which would also involve above-average amounts)<br />

occurred in a given period.<br />

Two income sensitivity tests have been designed to<br />

assess reinsurance protection risk. Firstly, the test<br />

of sensitivity to a decrease in reinsurance protection<br />

<strong>and</strong> secondly, the test of sensitivity to an<br />

above-average incidence of loss (for large-scale <strong>and</strong><br />

mass losses).<br />

portfolios of insurance categories/<strong>group</strong>s of<br />

insurance categories to large-scale <strong>and</strong> mass<br />

losses, with the aim of focusing the reinsurance<br />

risk management analysis on the most exposed<br />

insurance categories. This analysis showed that<br />

reinsurance risk is most significantly affected, both<br />

in terms of the amount <strong>and</strong> number of potentially<br />

large-scale <strong>and</strong> mass losses, by the portfolio of<br />

auto liability insurance <strong>and</strong> the portfolio of fire<br />

<strong>and</strong> other damage insurance. These portfolios<br />

also significantly affect profit or loss, therefore the<br />

sensitivity analysis was made on the basis of these<br />

reinsurance contracts.<br />

A decrease of reinsurance protection in 2006 would<br />

affect the amount of the reinsurance premium,<br />

<strong>and</strong> also may have an impact on decreasing the<br />

reinsurer’s share in claims. In the given year there<br />

was no disproportional reinsurance (XL) used,<br />

which is intended for huge claims <strong>and</strong> significant<br />

quantities, so the decrease of the reinsurance<br />

premium would be higher compared with the <strong>and</strong><br />

Group is exposed to financial risks through its<br />

financial assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities, reinsurance receivables<br />

<strong>and</strong> insurance liabilities. Financial risks are risks that<br />

due to changes in the capital markets <strong>and</strong> ratings<br />

which exceed the amount of returns on insurance<br />

liabilities, by matching the terms of financial assets<br />

against financial liabilities, <strong>and</strong> by ensuring adequacy<br />

of financial assets.<br />

of the Group’s clients inflows will not be sufficient<br />

to cover outflows. The most significant components<br />

of this financial risk are liquidity risk, credit risk <strong>and</strong><br />

market risk, the Group is exposed to the risks of<br />

changes in interest rates, securities market prices <strong>and</strong><br />

currency rates.<br />

Currency risk is less important for the Group because<br />

of ERM2 <strong>and</strong> adopting the euro in 2007.<br />

253<br />

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may be<br />

unable to repay all of liabilities, including potential<br />

liabilities, without threat to its normal activities. The<br />

Group maintains capital adequacy with a sufficient<br />

adequate amount of capital in order to be able to<br />

ensure liquidity at any moment <strong>and</strong> so that it is<br />

sustainably able to meet its obligations (solvency).<br />

Market risks appear especially in investment of<br />

assets, where there is the potential that expectations<br />

regarding the value of investments are not met or are<br />

not met entirely.

KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

5.2.1 Liquidity <strong>and</strong> Interest rate risk<br />

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk via<br />

financial assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities, reinsured receivables<br />

Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be<br />

available to pay obligations due at a reasonable cost.<br />

<strong>and</strong> insured liabilities. Due to the nature of its<br />

investments <strong>and</strong> liabilities, the Group is particularly<br />

facing the risk of changed interest rates.<br />

Exposure to liquidity risk is reflected in the<br />

acceptance of insurance risk <strong>and</strong> the Group's ability<br />

to meet its contractual obligations from existing<br />

insurance contracts <strong>and</strong> liabilities related to the<br />

insurer's day-to-day operations.<br />

In the following the liquiditiy risk with maturity of<br />

assets is presented according to contractual cash<br />

flows, which are compared with expected cash<br />

flows of insurance <strong>and</strong> financial contracts.<br />

256<br />

Liquidity risk stems from an imbalance in inflows<br />

<strong>and</strong> outflows <strong>and</strong> manifests itself in the potential that<br />

the Group, despite having adequate financial assets,<br />

would find itself in a position of having to cash in<br />

its investments under less favourable circumstances<br />

(e.g. lower price, higher transaction costs) in order to<br />

meet its contractual obligations, which would result<br />

in a lower return on investments.<br />

The Group manages its liquidity risk through:<br />

- maintaining a suitable structure of investments;<br />

- diversification of the investment portfolio;<br />

- planning future cash flows, ensuring a suitable<br />

volume of cash flows from operating <strong>and</strong> investing<br />

activities (payout of interest <strong>and</strong> principal) to cover<br />

future foreseeable liabilities;<br />

- providing an adequate volume of high-liquidity<br />

investments which are readily cashable without loss<br />

in order to cover future unforeseeable liabilities.<br />

Contractual cash flows for debt securities are<br />

calculated with data of issuers. The amorisation<br />

schedule <strong>and</strong> coupon rate at the date of calculation<br />

is used. For each time interval the future cash<br />

flows (principal <strong>and</strong> coupon rate) are considered,<br />

which will be according to the situation of the debt<br />

securities portfolio.<br />

For the purpose of presenting cash flows of life<br />

insurance contracts with DPF <strong>and</strong> life insurance, in<br />

which the insured are exposed to investment risk,<br />

all cash flows of the future payments of claims <strong>and</strong><br />

costs, which come from life insurance contracts as<br />

at 31 December 2007 are generated.<br />

For the purpose of presenting cash flows of financial<br />

contracts, all the cash flows of the future payments<br />

of claims <strong>and</strong> costs which come from financial<br />

contracts as at 31December 2007 are generated.


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

Expected cash flows of non-life insurance <strong>and</strong><br />

health insurance present an assessment of<br />

payments for claims (which have already been<br />

incurred) including costs <strong>and</strong> the release of liability<br />

from unearned premiums <strong>and</strong> for provisions.<br />

Own assets of the Group are not intended for<br />

covering liabilities from insurance <strong>and</strong> financial<br />

contracts <strong>and</strong> this is the reason why the mean<br />

duration of assets is not presented.<br />

5.2.2 Credit risk<br />

further limits on individual amounts <strong>and</strong> on already<br />

specified amounts of maximum exposure of individual<br />

Credit risk is the consequence of an inability on the part<br />

of a contracting party to fully repay its obligations or<br />

overdue debts. In terms of financial instruments included<br />

in investments, the risk that one party in a contract<br />

regulating the financial instrument will cause the other<br />

party to incur financial loss due to default on obligations<br />

as a result of difference between actual <strong>and</strong> contractually<br />

agreed fulfillment of obligations.<br />

securities. In order to minimise the risk exposure, the<br />

Group analyses the credit rating scores of issuers of<br />

securities. It also manages its credit risk exposure through<br />

investments in government-issued securities, <strong>and</strong> through<br />

investments in low-risk securities. The procedures for<br />

checking the credit rating of foreign issuers of securities<br />

are based on acquiring credit rating information from such<br />

international firms as St<strong>and</strong>ard & Poor’s, Fitch-IBCA <strong>and</strong><br />

Moody’s.<br />

The Group manages its credit risk exposure by introducing

Issuers of securities in Slovenia do not have ratings,<br />

but the insurance part of the Group hase the highest<br />

concentration of investments in debt securities, bank <strong>and</strong><br />

government bonds. The credit risk of investment coupons<br />

<strong>and</strong> equity securities are controlled by diversification of<br />

investments.<br />

In the context of reinsurance, as for financial asset<br />

investment, credit risk management procedures relate<br />

to verifying the reinsurer’s credit rating. In accordance<br />

with the strategy of credit risk management, reinsurancerelated<br />

liabilities are reinsured by prime-grade reinsurers.<br />

This does not, however, discharge the Group’s liability<br />

as primary insurer. If a reinsurer fails to pay a claim for<br />

Procedures of verifying credit ratings are based on<br />

obtaining <strong>and</strong> reviewing publicly accessible data on<br />

the current financial status of the issuer of financial<br />

instruments <strong>and</strong> the issuer’s future solvency. The credit<br />

any reason, the Group remains liable for the payment<br />

to policyholder. The creditworthiness of reinsurers is<br />

considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial<br />

strength prior to finalisation of any contract.<br />

rating of domestic the issuer’s of financial instruments is<br />

determined by the Group itself. In checking the issuer’s<br />

credit using its own sources, the Group checks the issuer’s<br />

future solvency, in particular the issuer’s adequacy of<br />

expected future cash flows from regular activities offset<br />

The Group restructures credit risk through establishing<br />

limits to the counterparty <strong>and</strong> also according to territory<br />

<strong>and</strong> industry. These risks are changing regulary.<br />

Recourse receivables - recourse claims <strong>and</strong> assets<br />

acquired in the course of settlement of damages<br />

The Group may deal with the selling of items damaged<br />

in insurance cases which are acquired in the course<br />

of resolving damage cases. The net recoverable value<br />

of damaged items in damage cases which the Group<br />

manages to sell is recognised as revenue on the<br />

transaction date (sale of the damaged item).<br />

Exercised recourse receivables are recorded<br />

separately as receivables insured by mortgage <strong>and</strong><br />

other recourse receivables, which is the basis for<br />

impairment calculation. The Group makes impairment<br />

of exercised recourse receivables <strong>and</strong> receivables on<br />

redemption based an individual estimation of the<br />

financial situation <strong>and</strong> liquidity of the insurance policy<br />

holder. Liquidity of debtors <strong>and</strong> other receivables,<br />

With the payment of damages, the rights in relation to<br />

those responsible for the damage are also transferred<br />

from the policy holder to the Group (subrogation). The<br />

Group exercises that right through a recourse claim,<br />

or partial payment of the insurance amount. In the<br />

event that the insured person of compulsory liability<br />

insurance loses his or her rights (intoxication etc.) the<br />

Group dem<strong>and</strong>s recourse from the policy holder or<br />

the person responsible for the damage for the entire<br />

or partial portion of the paid damages. Exercised<br />

recourse claims are recognised as insurance revenue.<br />

Expected recourse amounts are also included in the<br />

calculation of damage liabilities.<br />

Recourse receivables are recorded separately, as<br />

exercised <strong>and</strong> unexercised, whereas unexercised<br />

recourse receivables are kept in off-balance-sheet<br />

records <strong>and</strong> no impairment are formed with regard<br />

to them.<br />

except deferred tax receivables are assessed<br />

individually <strong>and</strong> likewise for impairment calculation.<br />

Loans<br />

The Group approves loans to its subsidiaries <strong>and</strong><br />

associates in order to take advantage of synergy. The<br />

Group can get loans under advantageous conditions<br />

compared with subsidiaries <strong>and</strong> associates because<br />

of its financial power <strong>and</strong> intensive cooperation with<br />

financial institutions. It uses the interest rate for<br />

interest on loans according to related parties. Loans<br />

are not insured.<br />

In some cases loans are also approved to companies<br />

outside the Group if exists mutual interest for<br />

<strong>business</strong> cooperation. Loans are not insured <strong>and</strong> the<br />

interest rate is higher.<br />

5.3 Operational risk<br />

Operational risks are risks related to errors in the<br />

functioning of <strong>business</strong> processes, information<br />

technology, organisation <strong>and</strong> similar areas.<br />

The operational risks of the Group are managed<br />

in the subsidiaries by monitoring the weaknesses<br />

<strong>and</strong> opportunities of their <strong>business</strong>es <strong>and</strong> by<br />

controlling the <strong>business</strong> processes. Operational risk<br />

management is based on the Groupʼs strategic <strong>and</strong><br />

companiesʼ operational objectives.<br />

The Group manages operational risks by introducing<br />

the ISO st<strong>and</strong>ards at the level of the Group <strong>and</strong> in<br />

its individual members with which the Group wants<br />

to st<strong>and</strong>ardise <strong>business</strong> processes. The Group uses<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ardised <strong>and</strong> uniform software in the area of<br />

accounting <strong>and</strong> investments.<br />

5.4 General <strong>business</strong> risk<br />

General <strong>business</strong> risks are related to the Group’s<br />

operations in the environment, such as the<br />

economic environment, legislation <strong>and</strong> similar, on<br />

which the Group has no direct impact.<br />

Such risks are quite difficult to measure or<br />

model. In order to manage such risks, the Group<br />

regularly monitors legislation through its technical<br />

services, developments on capital markets <strong>and</strong><br />

macroeconomic parameters of the markets in which<br />

it is present.<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

The global market in 2007 was very changeable. In<br />

second half of the year, the real estate crisis in the<br />

USA was bigger that was expected, causing distrust in<br />

the money market; short term interest rates increased,<br />

<strong>and</strong> liquidity in the inancial market decreased.<br />

in Slovenia; a decision on dividends distribution is<br />

taken by the shareholders’ meeting.<br />

KD Holding has no specific aims about ownership by<br />

employees <strong>and</strong> has no program for share options. In the<br />

Group there were no changes in managing capital in<br />

5.5 Capital managment<br />

2007.<br />

278<br />

Management Board takes decisions for maintenance of<br />

significant (large) capital scope to ensure the confidence of<br />

all participants <strong>and</strong> development of KD Holding. As one of<br />

the strategic indicators, the Group defines return on equity<br />

as the ratio between net profit for the year of the majority<br />

ownerʼs <strong>and</strong> the average value of majority owner equity.<br />

The Group seeks to keep the balance of large returns<br />

which can be reached by higher indebtedness, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

advantages <strong>and</strong> safety of powerful capital structure.<br />

According to the shareholders’ meeting decision, the<br />

parent company KD Holding has established its own<br />

share fund. On 31 December 2007 there were 62,601<br />

ordinary shares with the mark KDHR, which is 2.11%<br />

of issued capital, <strong>and</strong> 51,306 preference shares with<br />

the mark KDHP, which is 1.74% of issued capital.<br />

The investment plan, optimal capital structure<br />

policy, expectation <strong>and</strong> the interests of shareholders<br />

are basis for the development of dividend policy.<br />

The entity distributes a dividend once a year.<br />

Management <strong>and</strong> Supervisory Boards of the<br />

parent company take a decision on the amount of<br />

proposed dividends. Dividends are distributed from<br />

accumulated profit of the parent company which<br />

is regulated with compliance of valid regulations<br />

The parent company is not a subject to the capital<br />

requirements which could be set by the regulatory<br />

authority.<br />

An entity has subsidiaries in the field of financial <strong>and</strong><br />

insurance segment, the capital requirements of which are<br />

provided by the regulatory authority. The management<br />

of the entities provides the proper amount of capital<br />

(capital adequacy) according to the scope <strong>and</strong> type<br />

of operation, which are managed by management<br />

<strong>and</strong> according to the risk which are they exposed to.<br />

5.6 Fair value of financial assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities<br />

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be<br />

exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable,<br />

willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.<br />

The Group establishes the fair value of financial<br />

assets in the following way:<br />

- The fair value of investments in equity instruments<br />

that have a quoted market price in an active market<br />

is determined as the product of the number of units of<br />

the instrument <strong>and</strong> its quoted market price.<br />

- If there is no active market for the financial<br />

instruments, the methods of assessing the fair


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

value of a financial instrument are used. Valuation<br />

techniques include using recent arm’s length market<br />

transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties,<br />

if available, reference to the current fair value of<br />

another instrument that is substantially the same,<br />

<strong>and</strong> discounted cash flow analysis. The Group has<br />

developed a model for assessing the fair value of<br />

non-listed equity instruments; its appropriateness was<br />

assessed by an independent qualified expert. Using<br />

- The estimated fair value of borrowings not quoted in<br />

an active market is based on discounted cash flows<br />

using current market rates. The aggregate fair value<br />

of quoted debt securities are calculated based on<br />

quoted market prices.<br />

- Current receivables <strong>and</strong> liabilities are assumed their<br />

carrying value reflects their fair value.<br />

- For a contract containing a discretionary participation<br />

feature the fair value cannot be measured reliably.<br />

this model, the fair values of significant financial<br />

investments in non-listed companies are estimated<br />

once a year on the basis of data available.<br />

- The fair value of loans <strong>and</strong> deposits represents the<br />

discounted amount of estimated future cash flows<br />

expected to be received. Expected cash flows are<br />

discounted at current market rates to determine fair value.<br />

The following table summarises the carrying amounts<br />

<strong>and</strong> fair values of those financial assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities<br />

not presented on the Group’s balance sheet at<br />

their fair value. Bid prices are used to estimate fair<br />

values of assets, whereas offer prices are applied to<br />

liabilities.<br />

Goodwill is allocated mainly to non-life insurance<br />

<strong>and</strong> to the financial operations segment, <strong>and</strong> is<br />

annually assessed for impairment.<br />

- unearned premium reserve projection is based on<br />

the premium earning patterns applied to the gross<br />

premium written amount for each calendar year<br />

<strong>and</strong> line of <strong>business</strong> separately:<br />

286<br />

In 2007 for the purpose of exclusion of minority<br />

interest an assumption was made in 2006 for the<br />

non-life insurance segment by an independent<br />

qualified expert. It was concluded that operational<br />

results in 2007 <strong>and</strong> planned results in 2007 were<br />

not substantially different <strong>and</strong> there is also no<br />

substantial difference in equity.<br />

Key assumptions used in 2006 <strong>and</strong> in 2007 for the<br />

non-life insurance segment are:<br />

- the Income Approach (discounted cash flows) <strong>and</strong><br />

Market Approach methods were used to calculate<br />

a range of values for the non-life <strong>business</strong>;<br />

- the best management projections <strong>and</strong> estimates<br />

regarding the future written premium were used<br />

for the period 2006-2011. For the following<br />

years decreasing growth rates consistent with<br />

market growth were used. The forecasted growth<br />

of the Slovenian general insurance market is<br />

approximately 7% annually;<br />

- ceded premium assumptions range from 0% to<br />

35% of the gross earned premium depending on<br />

the line of <strong>business</strong>. Ceded claims assumptions<br />

range from 0% to 50% of the gross claims<br />

incurred depending on the line of <strong>business</strong>.<br />

- ultimate loss ratio assumptions for future accident<br />

years range from 35% to 110% depending on the<br />

line on <strong>business</strong>;<br />

- the risk discount rate 10.2% was derived based on<br />

the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model).<br />

Based on the result of the valuation, which was<br />

performed by an independent qualified expert, the<br />

Group assessed that the goodwill related to the non-life<br />

insurance segment does not need to be impaired.<br />

No impairment charge of goodwill of the financial<br />

segment in 2007 was recognised (impairment charge<br />

in 2006 was EUR 1,569,005). The goodwill of the<br />

financial segment was assessed by an independent


KD Holding Group<br />

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

qualified expert using the following key assumptions<br />

in 2007:<br />

- present value of future cash-flows without<br />

indebteness;<br />

- estimation was based on analysis of past operations<br />

<strong>and</strong> estimation of future <strong>business</strong> opportunities;<br />

- cash return was discounted with the appropriate<br />

weighted arithmetic average of the return rate of<br />

debt <strong>and</strong> equity securities;<br />

- the CAMP model was used, modified for each<br />

country;<br />

- assumptions: 5% cost growth rate per employee,<br />

4% expected rate of return on non-risk<br />

investments, 7% premium for capital risk, 1.05<br />

The goodwill of the financial segment was assessed<br />

by an independent qualified expert using the<br />

following key assumptions 2006:<br />

- the value of the investment is based on the present<br />

value of future cash-flows;<br />

- the strategic <strong>and</strong> operational projections of the future<br />

cash flows prepared by the Management. The period<br />

over which the Management has projected cash flows<br />

is 5 years. The growth rate used to extrapolate cash<br />

flow projections is 1%;<br />

- the required rate of return on the investment is<br />

11.10%, the required rate of return on the total<br />

investment is 10.4%,<br />

- 10% discount for lack of liquidity.<br />

systematic risk, 1% premium for particular risk,<br />

10% discount for illiquidity;<br />

- return on equity from 13.2% to 17.1%<br />

- return on capital from 12.3% to 16.0%.<br />

Goodwill has been assessed with the internal<br />

method of evaluation. Goodwill does not need to be<br />

impaired.<br />

287<br />

Based on the result of the assessment the Group<br />

assessed that the goodwill in 2007 does not need to<br />

be impaired.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

Impairment of available-for-sale non-listed equity<br />

securities is recognised whether on the basis<br />

of external independent valuations, using the<br />

discounted future cash flow method or on the basis<br />

of an internal model in which appropriateness has<br />

been assessed by an independent qualified expert.<br />

- the method of discounted cash flows was used<br />

- projections were made for minority shareholder<br />

- cash flow projections for the period of 5 years were<br />

prepared<br />

- revenue growth rates range up to 5% per year<br />

- growth of employee costs was 3% per year<br />

- discount rates range up to 11,6% per year<br />

According to valuations performed in 2007 the<br />

impairment of EUR 2,596,286 (2006: EUR<br />

9,633,388) was recognised. The following key<br />

assumptions were used in these valuations:<br />

Held-to-maturity investments were redeemed in<br />

2007 in the amount of EUR 639,758 (2006: EUR<br />

1,209,398).<br />

The effective interest rates on debt securities were as follows:<br />

2007 2006<br />

Debt securities:<br />

– held-to-maturity financial assets 5.08% 5.12%<br />

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax loss<br />

carry-forwards to the extent that the realisation of the<br />

related tax benefit through the future taxable profits<br />

is probable. The Group did not recognise deferred<br />

income tax assets of EUR 2,722,784 (2006: EUR<br />

1,793,465) in respect of losses amounting to EUR<br />

11,773,632 (2006: EUR 8,967,330) that can be<br />

Unrecognised potential deferred tax assets:<br />

carried forward against future taxable income. These<br />

losses have been generated by the subsidiaries<br />

of the Group with a history of loss-making.The<br />

management estimates that the future taxable<br />

profits will not be sufficient to realise the related tax<br />

benefit. According to the new corporate income tax<br />

legislation there are no time limitations to use the tax<br />

loss carry-forwards or tax credits.<br />
