<strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong> for <strong>2011</strong><br />

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial<br />

statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment <strong>of</strong> the risks <strong>of</strong> material<br />

misstatement <strong>of</strong> the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor<br />

considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation <strong>of</strong> the financial position and financial performance <strong>of</strong><br />

UniCredit <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> AG in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the<br />

purpose <strong>of</strong> expressing an opinion on the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> UniCredit <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> AG’s internal control. An audit also includes<br />

evaluating the appropriateness <strong>of</strong> accounting policies used and the reasonableness <strong>of</strong> accounting estimates made by<br />

management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation <strong>of</strong> the financial statements.<br />

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.<br />

Opinion<br />

Our audit did not give rise to any objections. Based on the results <strong>of</strong> our audit in our opinion, the financial statements comply<br />

with the legal provisions and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position <strong>of</strong> UniCredit <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> AG as <strong>of</strong><br />

31 December <strong>2011</strong>, and the financial performance <strong>of</strong> UniCredit <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> AG for the financial year from 1 January <strong>2011</strong> to<br />

31 December <strong>2011</strong> in accordance with <strong>Austria</strong>n Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.<br />

Statement on the Management Report<br />

Laws and regulations require us to perform audit procedures to determine whether the management report is consistent with<br />

the financial statements and whether the other disclosures made in the management report are not misleading with respect to<br />

UniCredit <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> AG’s position. The auditors’ report must also contain a statement as to whether the management report<br />

is consistent with the financial statements and whether the disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB (<strong>Austria</strong>n Business<br />

Code) are appropriate. In our opinion, the management report is consistent with the financial statements. The disclosures<br />

pursuant to Section 243a UGB (<strong>Austria</strong>n Business Code) are appropriate.<br />
