Report of Independent Auditors<br />
To the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board of <strong>Severočeské</strong> <strong>doly</strong> a.s.:<br />
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of <strong>Severočeské</strong> <strong>doly</strong> a.s. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”)<br />
as of December 31, <strong>2004</strong> and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, cash flows and<br />
the related notes 1 to 18 for the year ended December 31, <strong>2004</strong>. These consolidated financial statements are the<br />
responsibility of the management of <strong>Severočeské</strong> <strong>doly</strong> a.s. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial<br />
statements based on our audit.<br />
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that<br />
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of<br />
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures<br />
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates<br />
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe<br />
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the<br />
financial position of the Group as of December 31, <strong>2004</strong>, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for<br />
the year ended December 31, <strong>2004</strong>, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.<br />
