Looking back at year 2006 in terms of the results achieved by<br />

the <strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong> <strong>pojišťovna</strong> and her 100% owner, the<br />

Kooperativa we can state quite unequivocally that it was a successful<br />

year. Following the demanding changes in 2005, last year was for<br />

<strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong> <strong>pojišťovna</strong> a year of dynamic growth, translating<br />

significantly into the business and financial results. Capital entry<br />

of Kooperativa in 2005 has proven to be clearly a step in the right<br />

direction.<br />

In terms of general market conditions, taking into consideration<br />

unsatisfactory premium growth and repeated natural disasters,<br />

year 2006 was one of the most difficult years on the record. Total<br />

premium income has increased by 3.75%, which adjusted for<br />

2.5% inflation is only a 1% real growth. Although the insurance<br />

market continues to grow, but the rate of growth is low, taking into<br />

consideration the country’s potential. Looking at individual business<br />

lines, the life insurance regular premium business has produced<br />

satisfactory result<br />

of 34.6 bln CZK, posting a year-on-year growth of 6.7%. On the<br />

contrary single premium insurance, which represents ¼ of the life<br />

insurance premium income was stagnant and resulted in a decline<br />

below the 2005 levels. Non-life insurance has grown last year by 3%<br />

to 72.8 bln CZK, which also can not be considered as satisfactory.<br />

Long-term goal of Kooperativa as well as <strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong><br />

<strong>pojišťovna</strong> is to support and develop a role of an active player on the<br />

Czech insurance market, therefore remaining also as members of the<br />

Vienna Insurance Group trustworthy and reliable partners for all our<br />

clients and employees of both companies.<br />

Despite many achievements over the past several years, we realise<br />

only too well that there is still a lot to improve and a lot of work<br />

ahead of us. Whether it is the stabilisation and detailed finalisation<br />

of all reorganisation steps, improved communication between the<br />

companies and their departments, or closer co-operation with other<br />

companies across the Vienna Insurance Group concern.<br />

In closing I would like to thank all those who have contributed to<br />

the success of the last year. In addition to our closest colleagues, all<br />

employees and partners, I want to say thank you in particular to our<br />

clients, who have shown their long-term confidence in us. Thanks<br />

to their support ČPP is a modern, dynamically growing insurance<br />

company, with ambition to be a reliable partner and advisor, standing<br />

by you in the good times, as well as when things don’t turn out well.<br />

ADDRESS BY THE<br />

SUPERVISORY<br />

BOARD<br />

CHAIRMAN<br />

Ing. Vladimír Mráz<br />

Supervisory Board Chairman


2<br />

Dear ladies and gentlemen,<br />

it is with pleasure that I can say – and the key financial data has<br />

confirmed this – that also in 2006 we have proven yet again<br />

that we are a strong and stable company able to succeed in<br />

tough competitive environment.<br />

For more than a year ČPP has been part of the major<br />

international financial group Vienna Insurance Group (VIG),<br />

which is the largest Austrian insurance concern operating in the<br />

Central and Eastern European countries. As a group member,<br />

ČPP operates on the regional market under its own business<br />

name with emphasis on common international umbrella.<br />

Year 2006 was very successful for ČPP. We have achieved<br />

significant year-on-year profit increase, totalling 184.7 mln<br />

CZK, as reported in IAS terms. This result was a significant<br />

contribution factor to the financial stability of the company.<br />

The company’s registered capital of 1 bln CZK represents, in<br />

terms of total premium income, a value with above-average<br />

capital adequacy. In 2006 ČPP achieved year-on-year growth<br />

of total premium income by 8.3%, outperforming the overall<br />

growth rate of the insurance market by more than 2-fold. We<br />

have, yet again, achieved our best results in the motor vehicle<br />

insurance. MTPL register had more than 615,000 insurance<br />

policies at the year-end, which represents a year-on-year<br />

increase by 51,000 contracts. Hence, ČPP has confirmed its<br />

3rd market position. In comparison with previous year we<br />

have more than doubled the number of comprehensive car<br />

insurance policies. We have recorded major success also in<br />

business insurance where, despite a slight market decline, we<br />

have posted an increase by 5.6%. ČPP is providing insurance<br />

cover to approximately 40% of the Top 100 largest industrial<br />

enterprises in the Czech Republic. Life insurance segment had<br />

recorded also strong growth. Premium income had increased<br />

in year-on-year terms by 21.8%, whilst the market overall has<br />

grown only by 4.8%. With these results ČPP has strengthened<br />

its market position and at the same time increased its market<br />

share to 3.6%.<br />

Year 2006 has brought principal business strategy changes in<br />

segments with highest premium volume – compulsory liability<br />

insurance. We have introduced a new insurance premium tariff,<br />

so-called segmentation, which takes into account multiple<br />

risk criteria. The insurance rates are determined not only by<br />

the engine size, but also by the age of the vehicle and the<br />

DIRECTORS<br />

Introduction by the<br />

Chairman of the<br />

Board of Directors<br />

driver and region. In the MTPL insurance line our company has the broadest and most detailed segmentation<br />

among all insurers. Specially developed new product “SPOROPOV”, introduced during the autumn campaign<br />

provides additional discounts for older and more experienced drivers.<br />

During the past year we have recorded increased interest in life insurance products. In September 2006 we<br />

have launched life insurance product “Životní pojištění s Filipem KOMFORT”. High variability of this capital<br />

life insurance offers not only tailor-made insurance cover amount, but also maximum flexibility with respect to<br />

the client’s current circumstances.<br />

The number of clients who have decided to entrust the protection of their property and health to our<br />

company is growing. Increasing number of new clients is inter alia also the result of a pro-active and strongly<br />

client-oriented approach in all aspects of our operations. In March 2006 we have extended the business hours<br />

of our Customer Hotline and we have introduced a new easy-to-remember telephone number 841 444 555.<br />

As of July last year we have, together with SAZKA, a. s., provided our clients with option of insurance premium<br />

payments via payment terminals. Through these measures, but also by professional personal approach of<br />

our staff we have achieved efficiency increase and quality improvement of our services, which meet, in all<br />

respects, the highest criteria for modern and quality service.<br />

In the sales networks area last year we have focussed on quality improvements of our SUS sales software.<br />

Already during the 1st half of the year the installation has produced improvements of activities related to<br />

contract processing and administration, possibility of immediate access to current information and faster<br />

communication. Introduction of the system has resulted mainly in the service quality improvements. The<br />

system was received favourably not only by our staff, but mainly those who were the primary beneficiaries<br />

– our sales people and business partners. Fast access together with guarantee of security of stored data and<br />

elimination of errors by electronic processing by the system – in this regard the ČPP maintains its unique<br />

market position. During 2006 more than 2 /3 of the contracts were sold using the software application.<br />

Currently the number is growing significantly in favour of the on-line version, which in comparison with off-line<br />

version, accounts for 90% of the SUS production.<br />

In closing I would like to say my thanks mainly to you, our clients, business partners and brokers for your<br />

interest and cooperation. We value very much your confidence by using our services. I would also like to<br />

take this opportunity to thank all our employees for their effort, involvement, co-operation and goal-oriented<br />

approach focused on client needs.<br />

We are entering year 2007 with new expectations and ambitious plans. We will to continue in the trend of<br />

process quality and competitiveness improvements. Our goal is to achieve further improvements of our market<br />

position.<br />

Reinsurance<br />

Reinsurance programme for 2006 with its parameters represented<br />

for ČPP another step towards improving the company’s financial<br />

stability and significant strengthening of ability to honour the client<br />

obligations. Conservatively low net own excess levels and sufficient<br />

reinsurance capacities for individual insurance classes contributed<br />

to an optimum environment for further company development. Arrangement<br />

of adequate reinsurance coverage for cumulative natural<br />

disaster damages was one of the significant priorities of reinsurance<br />

terms and conditions for 2006. Renewed co-operation with Benfield,<br />

one of the biggest reinsurance brokers, played a positive role,<br />

in particular in the flood risk modelling area. With the benefit of<br />

this know-how, ČPP was setting the scope of reinsurance coverage<br />

against natural disasters.<br />

In defining the reinsurance programme for 2006 we have achieved<br />

quality improvement and broadening of the reinsurer portfolio, as<br />

well as major positive changes in key parameters of reinsurance<br />

coverage.<br />

The most important reinsurance partner became the largest reinsurer<br />

Swiss Re, which at the same time became the leading reinsurer of<br />

the property and transportation reinsurance treaty. Leading reinsurer<br />

of the liability reinsurance treaty was the 2nd largest reinsurer<br />

Munich Re.<br />

Other major partners of our reinsurance programme were Partner Re,<br />

Hannover Re, SCOR, XL Re Europe, Odyssey Re, Axa Re, MAPFRE,<br />

Transatlantic Re and a host of other reinsurers. Selection criteria for<br />

reinsurance companies were mainly their financial stability according<br />

to international classification by Standard & Poor‘s, which was in<br />

majority of ČPP reinsurers at the highest level, i.e., “AA” or “A”.<br />

PRODUCT TRENDS IN 2006<br />

MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE<br />

20<br />

Compulsory insurance (MTPL)<br />

2 ČPP PRODUCTS<br />

In the motor vehicle third-party liability insurance, the so-called compulsory insurance, we have continued<br />

throughout the year implementation of so-called “segmentation”, which had allowed majority of our clients to<br />

achieve significantly improved insurance terms and at the same time we were able to attract new customers<br />

for optimal price. Towards the end of 2005 we have introduced a new rate setting mechanism. The insurance<br />

rate is co-determined not only by the engine size, but also the age of the vehicle, driver’s age and permanent<br />

residential/business address. Segmentation has resulted in favourable treatment of experienced drivers and<br />

certain regions, it is taking into account the vehicle year of manufacture and with respect to the engine size it<br />

allows application of broader scale compared to our competition. ČPP is offering eight rate groups based on<br />

the engine size and against the standard five groups. Introduction of segmentation has without a doubt contributed<br />

towards our business results in 2006.<br />

Segmentation was offered for two basic rates - SPECIÁL Plus and SUPER Plus. Part of the offer was assistance<br />

service provided free of charge covering even the vehicle breakdown, 24-hour assistance in the Czech language<br />

covering also calls from abroad. Speciál Plus included also driver accident insurance free of charge, Super<br />

Plus included not only extended assistance service, but also high insurance limit for driver accident insurance<br />

and coverage of the driver’s hospital treatment expenses abroad.<br />

Newly defined company strategy was supported by autumn campaign promoting MTPL by introduction of a<br />

new special segmentation feature SPOROPOV. The product is priced very competitively for drivers over 35<br />

years of age, residing in township with population under 10,000 people and passenger vehicle older than eight<br />

years or Czech-made truck also older than eight years.<br />

In the assistance area ČPP has started to co-operate in 2006 with a new partner, company Global Assistance,<br />

a. s., and has extended its assistance services offer to include also commercial vehicles over 3.5 t, trailers,<br />

buses and trolley buses.<br />

In October ČPP has reached a major success in the MTPL insurance segment - the number of insurance<br />

contracts has exceeded 600,000 which is a year-on-year policy register growth by 51,000 contracts and an<br />

increase in premium income to 2.238 mln CZK. In terms of the number of insurance vehicles the company has<br />

strengthened its 3rd market position in MTPL segment.<br />

Results from the 1st year of segmentation are showing that it was a step in the right direction, allowing the<br />

company to record a significant increase in new business. By offering attractive insurance policies in 2007 we<br />

want to approach new, as well as existing clients, and to ensure further sales increases by supporting crossselling.<br />

We want to maintain confidence and interest of our business partners by constant increases in quality<br />

of provided services with emphasis on speed, flexibility, professional approach and quality claim settlement<br />

process.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SALES NETWORKS, CO-OPERATION WITH BUSINESS PARTNERS<br />

During 2006 we have managed successfully to develop internal sales network for the sale of life insurances.<br />

Thanks to attractive work and social benefit packages and pro-active approach by managers at the regional<br />

centres, we are able to recruit during the year the planned number of new sales agents. A multi-level training<br />

programme has been designed to provide these new recruits with specialist, as well as sales know-how. At the<br />

end of 2006 this network consisted of 200 salespeople, including 30 sales team managers.<br />

We can also conclude that restructuring of regional centres with their number being reduced to 10, with<br />

concurrent re-naming to area management centres, which took place as of 1. 3. 2006, has resulted in higher<br />

efficiency. Those regional centres, which had to absorb the biggest changes have shown, already during the<br />

2nd quarter, stabilisation of their operational and personnel units. This has laid the foundations for successful<br />

execution of the annual target and achievement of our goals.<br />

During the year we have continued in quality improvements of the internal network’s operations by<br />

functionality improvements of operating systems and expansion of the sales training for existing staff, as well<br />

as new recruits. Under the new system processing of an insurance application via internal network has been<br />

carried out by more than 85% through SUS software, resulting in major decline of error rate in application<br />

process and processing time reduction.<br />

One of the most significant business partners remains Makler Service Bohemia International s.r.o. (MSBI).<br />

Business emphasis is placed mainly on the sale of life insurance but currently they are developing their<br />

operations to cover also other lines of insurance, which is supported also by electronic sale of insurance<br />

contracts directly to the ČPP system. In the area of MTPL sales our successful co-operation continued with the<br />

Hasičská vzájemná <strong>pojišťovna</strong>. Joint sale of travel and health insurance products in conjunction with Pojišťovna<br />

VZP and Všeobecná zdravotní <strong>pojišťovna</strong> continued to develop further as well. On 31 July 2006 the Company<br />

has come an agreement with a long-term partner, the Czech Post, to terminate co-operation. At the end of the<br />

year we have signed a co-operation contract with network of financial advisors OVB Allfinanz, a. s.<br />

Co-operation with more than 300 insurance brokers and agents recorded during the year further growth, in<br />

motor vehicle and industrial and business insurance in particular. In relation to the Act no. 38/2004 Coll.,<br />

regulating the terms under which an individual against her selling insurance is a new insurance agent or<br />

insurance company employee more than 2,300 people have completed training course with final exam<br />

certifying that they meet the basic criteria, conducted by the sales network training centre. The company<br />

had continued to support filing of insurance intermediary registration applications. At the same time we have<br />

increased the number of external agents using the proprietary sales software. By the end of the year the<br />

software was installed in more than 3,200 locations processing more than 70% of all contract applications.<br />

This has resulted in significant reduction of corrections, contract registration in the system, as well as the<br />

commission payments have been faster.<br />

We have further increased the number of major business partners by providing individual treatment,<br />

complemented by faster service, system support and various motivational competitions, regular meetings and<br />

trainings.<br />

VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP<br />

Umbrella brand Vienna Insurance Group<br />

VIENNA<br />

INSURANCE<br />

GROUP<br />

Starting in early 2006, the Wiener Städtische Group introduced the umbrella brand Vienna Insurance<br />

Group. In May 2006 it was decided to change the company name from Wiener Städtische AG to WIENER<br />

STÄDTISCHE Versicherung AG VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP. The new umbrella brand is intended to<br />

demonstrate the cohesion of the insurance companies in the Group, which will continue to operate under the<br />

names and brands they have established in their local markets as part of the Group’s successful multi-brand<br />

strategy. The Vienna Insurance Group is a big family, in which each Group company bears its own brand as a<br />

given name and the Group brand Vienna Insurance Group as a family name.<br />

Vienna Insurance Group – leading in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)<br />

With a premium volume of approximately EUR 6,1 billion, the Vienna Insurance Group is the leading Austrian<br />

insurance group in the CEE region, occupying an outstanding number 2 ranking in comparison with international<br />

insurance groups. The insurance companies in the Vienna Insurance Group offer high-quality insurance<br />

services in both the life and non-life segments. The key objective is to deliver innovative local insurance solutions<br />

for all areas of life with optimal customer service.<br />

Presence in 20 countries*<br />

The employees of the Vienna Insurance Group are working to ensure the insurance coverage of its customers<br />

in 20 countries* of Central and Eastern Europe. Outside its Austrian home market, the Vienna Insurance Group<br />

operates (through subsidiaries) in Albania*, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany,<br />

Hungary, Liechtenstein, Macedonia*, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey* and Ukraine. Branch<br />

offices are maintained in Italy and Slovenia.<br />

* subject to a due dilligence review and the approval by the authorities<br />

Pure Play in CEE<br />

The Vienna Insurance Group is in the best possible position to participate in the rising standard of living in the<br />

CEE countries and the increased need for insurance that goes with it. The share of CEE companies’ premiums<br />

is already close to 40% of the total Group premiums. In the Property/Casualty segment, the CEE share is approximately<br />

more than half of Group premiums. No other international listed insurance group generates such<br />

a large percentage of its premiums in the CEE region.<br />

Standard & Poor’s “A+”-rating<br />

The excellent financial strength of the Vienna Insurance Group was reconfirmed in 2006 by the international<br />

rating agency Standard & Poor’s which has again given the Group a rating of “A+” with a stable outlook. S&P<br />

emphasised the favourable competitive position of the Group, its strong operating performance in the core<br />

markets, its outstanding financial strength, and overall conservative risk management, including in the new<br />

markets, as the deciding factors for this attractive rating. For this reason the Vienna Insurance Group maintained<br />

its status in 2006 as the best rated of all Austrian insurance groups.<br />

Traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange<br />

The stock of WIENER STÄDTISCHE Versicherung AG VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP is listed on the Vienna<br />

represented in the ATX (Austrian Traded Index), the blue-chip index of the Vienna Stock Exchange.<br />

GOALS AND STRATEGIES OF THE VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP<br />

Clear orientation<br />

The Vienna Insurance Group has pursued a clear strategy for many years, and continued its successful implementation<br />

in the financial year 2006. The core competence of the Vienna Insurance Group is the insurance<br />

business which it is expanding continuously over the long term. In doing so, the Vienna Insurance Group<br />

seeks to continue on this proven path of value-oriented growth.<br />

Clear ambition<br />

Motivation of management and employees is to be the leader. The Vienna Insurance Group aims to be among<br />

the market leaders in every market in which it operates, while at the same time directing its any action toward<br />

achieving leadership in terms of the customer services it provides. This is the foundation for the Vienna Insurance<br />

Group’s core strategies:<br />

Expansion of number 1 position in Austria: The Vienna Insurance Group intends to maintain its position as<br />

number 1 in Austria in both the Life and Property/Casualty segments, and to continue to expand this position<br />

by winning more market share in the future.<br />

Targeted expansion in the CEE region: The Vienna Insurance Group follows a strategy of entering selective<br />

markets in the CEE region, followed by continuous expansion of its market position. In its core markets –<br />

i.e., those with a high level of economic and political stability – the Vienna Insurance Group strives to be<br />

at least one of the top five insurers in the country. In its endeavour to create shareholder value, the Vienna<br />

Insurance Group generally leaves profits that are earned in a CEE country within that country to further<br />

strengthen the Group companies and enable their dynamic expansion.<br />

Clear management principles<br />

Vienna Insurance Group<br />

The core strategies followed by the Vienna Insurance Group are accompanied by the following management<br />

principles, which are intended to ensure optimal access to customers, mutual benefit from synergies and broad<br />

risk diversification throughout the entire Group:<br />

Think globally – act locally: The Vienna Insurance Group has set a goal of promoting the mutual exchange<br />

of know-how between all Group companies. This is intended to allow the experience and ideas of employees<br />

in individual markets to be used throughout the Group. This also applies in a unique way to the management<br />

of Vienna Insurance Group. In addition to functional responsibilities, every member of the Managing<br />

Board is also responsible for individual countries in the CEE region and is a member of the Supervisory<br />

Board of the corresponding Group companies.


Multi-brand policy: Under the conscious application of the Vienna Insurance Group’s multi-brand strategy,<br />

newly acquired companies keep their previous brand names as a matter of principle. These names have<br />

been optimally introduced in local markets and are well anchored in customer awareness. The multi-brand<br />

policy is rounded out and reinforced by the Vienna Insurance Group umbrella brand. Each Group company<br />

bears its own brand as a given name and the Group brand as a family name, thereby displaying its dual<br />

strength to the outside world.<br />

Multi-channel distribution: The Vienna Insurance Group strives to use a broad selection of distribution channels<br />

in all markets to obtain the best possible access to customers and fully exploit its business potential.<br />

The creation of a powerfully effective field sales force is considered the foundation of an optimal distribution<br />

structure.<br />

Diversification: The goal of the Vienna Insurance Group is to keep risks low by means of broad diversification<br />

in all areas. Geographic diversification and broad diversification through a variety of distribution channels<br />

are intended to achieve this goal.<br />

CEE – THE GROWTH MARKET<br />

<strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong> <strong>pojišťovna</strong>, a. s. - annual report for 2006<br />

The CEE region offers highly attractive growth prospects for the insurance sector. The Vienna Insurance<br />

Group’s expansion into the CEE countries pursues business potential that is essentially based on two factors.<br />

Insurance density in the CEE region (premiums per capita) is only a fraction of the level in Western Europe and<br />

further exhibits above-average annual growth rates. In addition, rapid economic growth is creating a significant<br />

increase in the affluence of the population in the CEE countries, leading to a disproportionately high demand<br />

for financial services to protect this standard of living. The economic convergence process taking place in the<br />

region is expected to continue over the long term. In a dynamically changing economy, the insurance market<br />

normally grows at a significantly faster rate than the overall economy. These are factors that make Central and<br />

Eastern Europe very attractive for the Vienna Insurance Group. The long-term convergence potential of the<br />

CEE region can be illustrated by using the example of insurance density. In the CEE region, this indicator is only<br />

1/16 of the Western European level. In 2005, insurance density for the CEE countries was USD 176 (excluding<br />

Russia and Belarus) versus USD 2,879 for the EU-15 countries.<br />

Compliance with legislation<br />

At the balance sheet date the Company fully complied with Act No. 363/1999 Coll., on Insurance,<br />

as amended (“the Insurance Act”), Act No. 37/2004 Coll., on Insurance Contracts, as<br />

amended, Act No. 38/2004 Coll., on Insurance Intermediaries and Independent Loss Adjusters,<br />

Act No. 168/1999 Coll., on Liability Insurance for Losses Caused by the Operation of a Motor<br />

Vehicle, as amended (“the Act on Motor Third-Party Liability Insurance”), including the applicable<br />

implementing regulations, and with other legislation in force.<br />

Basis of preparation of the financial statements<br />

The accounting records of the Company are maintained and the financial statements of the<br />

Company have been prepared in accordance with Act No. 563/1991 Coll., on Accounting,<br />

in accordance with Regulation No. 502/2002 Coll., to implement certain provisions of Act<br />

No. 563/1991 Coll., on Accounting, and with the Czech Accounting Standards for insurance<br />

companies.<br />

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in such a manner that the financial<br />

statements prepared based on these records present a true and fair view of the accounting and<br />

financial position of the accounting unit.<br />

Significant accounting policies<br />

Gross premiums written<br />

Gross premiums written comprise all amounts due during the financial year in respect of insurance<br />

contracts regardless of the fact that such amounts may relate in whole or in part to future<br />

financial years.<br />

Claims paid<br />

Claims paid comprise the amount assessed for payment based on the claims investigation process,<br />

external claims handling costs and a deduction for the salvage value and other recoveries.<br />

Claims paid are recorded upon completion of the investigation of the claim and in the amount of<br />

the assessed settlement (proportional, full).<br />

Acquisition costs<br />

Acquisition costs comprise all direct and indirect costs arising from the conclusion of insurance<br />

contracts.<br />

Deferred acquisition costs<br />

Notes to the<br />

financial statements<br />

as at 31. 12. 2006<br />

(Year ended 31. 12. 2006.<br />

In thousends of Czech crowns „TCZK“)<br />

Deferred acquisition costs represent the proportion of the acquisition costs incurred during the<br />

current financial year that relates to the revenues of subsequent financial years.<br />

• Non-life insurance<br />

In respect of non-life insurance, deferred acquisition costs are based on total acquisition costs<br />

incurred in the current period and the ratio of the gross provision for unearned premiums at the<br />

balance sheet date to the total gross premiums written for the financial year.


(e)<br />

(f)<br />

(g)<br />

A proportion of acquisition costs on the individual marketing activities in respect of which it is<br />

possible to determine the length of the period in terms of which they were spent are deferred<br />

during this period.<br />

A proportion of acquisition costs on launch of new products the entire revenues from which<br />

relate to the subsequent accounting periods are deferred in these periods at maximum for the<br />

period of 12 months.<br />

• Life assurance<br />

In life assurance the Company determines deferred acquisition costs using the zillmerisation<br />

method, which is the method used to calculate the life assurance provision.<br />

Provision for unearned premiums<br />

The provision for unearned premiums represents that part of gross premiums written which is to<br />

be allocated to subsequent financial years. It represents the sum of all amounts calculated for<br />

individual contracts using the “pro rata temporis” method.<br />

Provision for outstanding claims<br />

The provision for outstanding claims in respect of both life and non-life insurance comprises the<br />

amount of expected costs in respect of claims:<br />

a)<br />

b)<br />

Reported but not settled during the period (RBNS),<br />

Incurred but not reported during the period (IBNR).<br />

The provision for outstanding claims reported by the end of the year represents the sum of all<br />

amounts calculated for individual claims.<br />

The provision for outstanding claims incurred but not reported as at the balance sheet date is<br />

determined using the actuarial methods.<br />

The provision for outstanding claims includes all relating estimated external claims handling costs<br />

including the value of salvages.<br />

Where for individual types of insurance the claim payment is provided in the form of annuities,<br />

the provision for outstanding claims is established based on actuarial methods.<br />

Although the Company considers that the provision for outstanding claims is fairly stated on the<br />

basis of the information currently available to them, the ultimate liability may vary as a result<br />

of subsequent events or new information, which may result in significant adjustments to the<br />

amounts provided for. Adjustments to the amounts of the provisions are reflected in the financial<br />

statements for the period in which the adjustments are made. The procedures and methods used<br />

in making estimates are reviewed regularly.<br />

Provision for bonuses and rebates<br />

<strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong> <strong>pojišťovna</strong>, a. s. - annual report for 2006<br />

The provision for bonuses and rebates is created in accordance with the respective terms set<br />

out in insurance contracts. In respect of non-life insurance, the provision is created principally in<br />

cases where the Company is liable to refund to policyholders a portion of the premiums relating<br />

to the current financial year due to favourable claims experience.<br />

In respect of life assurance, the provision for bonuses and rebates includes shares of surpluses<br />

arising as at 31 December of the current period, which have not been allocated to individual<br />

insurance contracts and thus are not included within the life assurance provision.<br />

(l)<br />

Equalisation provision<br />

The equalisation provision is created for individual classes of non-life insurance and is intended<br />

to equalise the increased claims costs arising due to fluctuations in the claims ratio caused by<br />

events beyond the Company’s control. The creation and release of this provision is in compliance<br />

with Regulation No. 303/2004 Coll.<br />

Regulation No. 303/2004 Coll. prescribes the method and criteria for calculating the equalisation<br />

provision, the amounts to be added to the provision and the amounts to be released, and the<br />

maximum level of the provision for individual classes of non-life insurance.<br />

Life assurance provision<br />

The life assurance provision comprises the sum of the provisions for individual life assurance policies.<br />

The life assurance provision is calculated using actuarial methods, including profit shares<br />

declared and allocated and a provision for expenses, related to the administration of contracts,<br />

after deducting the value of future premiums.<br />

The Company accounts for the provision using the zillmerisation method in accordance with the<br />

calculation of individual tariffs approved by the Czech National Bank (“ČNB”). The zillmerisation<br />

method results in the deferral of acquisition costs for life assurance contracts. These costs are<br />

included within the life assurance provision through actuarial methods after eliminating temporary<br />

negative balances, which are capitalised and presented as deferred acquisition costs. The acquisition<br />

costs are capitalised and deferred in accordance with the prudence principle and taking<br />

into account the risk of lapses and cancellations.<br />

Non-life insurance provision<br />

The non-life insurance provision is created for those classes of non-life insurance where the premium<br />

amount depends on the entry age of the insured. This provision represents the value of the<br />

insurance company’s liabilities calculated using actuarial methods, including already allocated<br />

profit shares or contractual claims for premium refunds and maintenance expenses deducting the<br />

present value of future premiums.<br />

Other technical provisions<br />

As at the balance sheet date Other technical provisions include the provision for the liabilities<br />

of the Czech Bureau of Insurers created pursuant to Section 15a of Act No. 363/1999 Coll., as<br />

amended, on Insurance. The amount of this provision is determined on the basis of information<br />

provided by the Czech Bureau of Insurers. This provision has replaced another technical provision<br />

for the liabilities of the Czech Bureau of Insurers created under Act No. 168/1999 Coll.,<br />

on Motor Third Party Liability Insurance, that had been created by the Company pursuant to<br />

Section 13 (4) of Act No. 363/1999 Coll., as amended, on Insurance, based on an application<br />

approved by the Ministry of Finance.<br />

Reinsurers’ share of technical provisions<br />

Notes to the<br />

financial statements<br />

as at 31. 12. 2006<br />

(Year ended 31. 12. 2006.<br />

In thousends of Czech crowns „TCZK“)<br />

Technical provisions are presented as a net liability, i.e. after deduction of the reinsurers’ share.<br />

The amount of this share is calculated based on the terms of the related reinsurance contracts,<br />

the method of settlement with reinsurers and in consideration of the prudence principle.<br />

As at the balance sheet date the Company presents the reinsurers’ share of the provision for<br />

unearned premiums, the provision for outstanding claims, the non-life insurance provision and<br />

the provision for bonuses and rebates. The reinsurer does not participate in the other technical<br />

provisions.

Investments<br />

• Debt securities<br />

<strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong> <strong>pojišťovna</strong>, a. s. - annual report for 2006<br />

At the acquisition date debt securities are stated at acquisition cost. Debt securities are revalued<br />

at their fair value as at the balance sheet date.<br />

Acquisition cost is the amount for which a debt security has been acquired and includes a proportionate<br />

part of any accrued interest and expenses directly associated with the acquisition.<br />

Fair value means the price published by a public market (domestic or foreign) while liquidity of<br />

the security is reflected. Where the security is traded on more than one domestic market, the<br />

market price of the Prague Stock Exchange (Burza cenných papírů Praha) is applied. If there is no<br />

available price or if it does not sufficiently represent the fair value, the fair value is determined<br />

on the basis of a qualified estimate.<br />

Debt securities are classified as securities valued at fair value through profit and loss or available<br />

for sale and securities held to maturity.<br />

A change in the fair value of debt securities valued through profit and loss or available for sale is<br />

recognised in the profit and loss account.<br />

A change in the fair value of debt securities held to maturity is recognised in equity.<br />

Where debt securities are denominated in a foreign currency, their value is translated based<br />

on the current exchange rate published by the Czech National Bank (“ČNB”). The appropriate<br />

exchange rate difference is included in the fair value.<br />

• Shares and other variable-yield securities<br />

At the acquisition date, shares and other variable-yield securities are accounted for at acquisition<br />

cost.<br />

Acquisition cost is the amount for which the shares or other variable-yield securities were acquired<br />

and includes all expenses directly associated with the acquisition.<br />

At the balance sheet date, shares and other variable-yield securities are revalued at their fair<br />

value.<br />

Fair value means the price published by a domestic or foreign stock exchange or other public<br />

market. If no market price is available or if it does not sufficiently represent the fair value, the fair<br />

value is determined on the basis of a qualified estimate.<br />

The change in fair value of shares or other variable-yield securities is recognised in the profit and<br />

loss account.<br />

Where shares and other variable-yield securities are denominated in a foreign currency, their value<br />

is translated based on the current exchange rate published by ČNB. The appropriate exchange<br />

rate difference is included in the fair value.<br />

• Other investments<br />

Deposits with banks and provided loans are stated at nominal value. At the balance sheet date,<br />

these assets are revalued at their fair value.<br />

As at 31 December 2006 foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in respect of foreign<br />

deposits.<br />

Expenses and income from financial placements<br />

• Method of allocation of expenses and income from financial placements between<br />

life assurance and non-life insurance accounts<br />

Expenses and income from financial placements, which are directly related to life assurance activities,<br />

are recorded in the technical account for life assurance.<br />

Other expenses and income from financial placements, which are not related to life assurance<br />

activities, are recorded in the non-technical account and the result is transferred to the technical<br />

account for non-life insurance.<br />

• Expenses and income from disposal of financial placements<br />

The disposal of financial placements is presented on a gross basis, whereby the revenues from<br />

disposal in the amount of the selling price of the relevant financial instruments are recorded<br />

separately from the carrying value of the related part of the financial placements.<br />

Tangible and intangible fixed assets<br />

Tangible and intangible fixed assets are stated at acquisition cost.<br />

Tangible fixed assets costing less than TCZK 40 are recorded as low-value tangible assets. Intangible<br />

fixed assets costing less than TCZK 60 are charged to the profit and loss account in the<br />

year in which they are acquired. The annual depreciation rate reflects the assets’ expected useful<br />

lives.<br />

The following depreciation rates are used for the individual asset classes:<br />

Fixed assets Method Number of years<br />

Software straight-line 3<br />

Other intangible fixed assets straight-line 3<br />

Low-value tangible fixed assets straight-line 3<br />

Tangible fixed assets straight-line 4 — 50<br />

(grouped according to material subclasses with the same depreciation rate)<br />

Foreign currency translation<br />

Transactions during the year are recorded at the ČNB rate effective on the transaction date or at<br />

the rate at which the transaction was realised.<br />

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the ČNB official<br />

rate on that date.<br />

Adjustments<br />

financial statements<br />

as at 31. 12. 2006<br />

(Year ended 31. 12. 2006.<br />

In thousends of Czech crowns „TCZK“)<br />

The Company creates adjustments to receivables and other assets except for financial placements.<br />

Adjustments represent a temporary decrease in value of individual assets. The amount<br />

of the decrease is determined on the basis of a professional risk assessment carried out by the<br />

management of the Company.<br />

The Company accounts for adjustments by recording the difference between the opening and<br />

closing balance in the profit and loss account at the balance sheet date.


(r)<br />

(s)<br />

(t)<br />

• Adjustments to receivables from policyholders<br />

Adjustments to receivables from policyholders are calculated based on an analysis of their recoverability<br />

and ageing structure. The analysis includes an ageing analysis of the receivables and<br />

assessment of the risk of non-payment of specific receivables.<br />

Method of allocation of items between life assurance and non-life insurance<br />

In order to account for items common to both life assurance and non-life insurance, the Company<br />

uses a method approved by the Ministry of Finance. Under this method individual items are<br />

grouped according to the class of insurance to which they relate. For items that cannot be allocated<br />

directly, the following basis is used: the ratio of gross non-life insurance premiums written<br />

and gross life assurance premiums written excluding additional deposits.<br />

• Expenses and revenues from financial placements<br />

Directly attributable expenses and revenues from financial placements are accounted for using<br />

the method stated in point I.2.(m). Other expenses and revenues from financial placements are<br />

allocated between life assurance and non-life insurance in the ratio of total life assurance/non-life<br />

insurance provisions to total technical provisions. The minimum amount of net revenue on the<br />

life assurance technical account equals to the amount of revenues allocated to insured persons<br />

and recorded in the life assurance provision and the provision for bonuses and rebates of life<br />

assurance. The other expenses relating to placement of technical provisions are allocated in the<br />

same manner as well.<br />

Income tax<br />

<strong>Česká</strong> <strong>podnikatelská</strong> <strong>pojišťovna</strong>, a. s. - annual report for 2006<br />

Income tax on the profit for the year comprises current income tax and the change in deferred<br />

tax. Current income tax comprises the tax liability calculated from the tax base using the effective<br />

tax rate and any additional payments or refunds of tax for previous years.<br />

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets for<br />

accounting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes multiplied by the expected tax<br />

rate prescribed for the following period.<br />

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that there is no doubt that future taxable<br />

profits will be available against which this asset can be utilized.<br />

Change in accounting policies and procedures<br />

The Company did not change its accounting policies and procedures.<br />
