Activities of the Group KD Group 

The Group KD Group, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2009, is one of the largest business groups in Slovenia. The 

Group's principal activities are: 

• insurance; 

• investment fund management; 

• banking and; 

• capital investments and real estate. 

The principal business activity of the parent company KD Group d. d. is the management of listed and non-listed investments 

and the generation of financial returns in accordance with the structure of its portfolio. The parent company makes decisions 

regarding all the KD Group’s major strategic investments. 

Insurance 

The KD Group's insurance business comprises life, property and health insurance. It has two public limited companies in 

Slovenia: KD Življenje, a life insurer, and Adriatic Slovenica, a universal insurance company that markets life insurance and 

property insurance, including health insurance. In accordance with the strategy of expanding the KD Group activities to 

foreign markets, in the previous year insurance companies within the Group operated on the following foreign markets: 

Ukraine, Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria, as well as in Slovakia through a branch office. The Group is marketing property 

insurance in Serbia through property insurance company AS neživotno osiguranje a.d.o. Beograd, Serbia. 

The key strategic orientations of the KD Group in the field of insurance are based primarily on operating growth on the local 

and foreign markets and on a comprehensive range of financial services provided through a variety of sales networks. 

In Slovenia, we further reinforced and consolidated existing sales channels. 

Investment fund management 

Five investment management companies within the KD Group manage a total of 27 mutual funds and two investment 

companies in the South-eastern region of Europe. KD Skladi, Ljubljana, currently the largest management company in 

Slovenia, is the leading investment fund management company in the Group. The company manages the umbrella fund “KD 

Krovni sklad” with 17 sub funds and KD ID, delniška investicijska družba, d. d. as well as assets of the well-informed 

investors. Currently, four management companies operate outside the Slovenian borders who jointly manage eleven 

investment funds: four mutual funds in Croatia, two in Romania, two mutual funds and one investment company in Bulgaria 

and two mutual funds in Macedonia. 

Banking 

In 2009, the KD Group began operating on the banking market following a transformation of KD BPD from a limited liability 

company into a public limited company on 2 March 2009 and assuming a new name of KD Banka. 

Initially, KD Banka concentrated on private, personal and investment banking services, including stockbrokerage, individual 

asset management and corporate finance services. However, in order to adjust to the changed economic conditions, KD 

Banka decided for early implementation of the basic corporate banking services, while at the same time it was developing 

services for the mass market, which began to be marketed through the sales network of branch offices by KD Finančna točka 

in February 2010. 

In addition to KD Banka operating in Slovenia, other companies also operated in the banking division in 2009 namely in 

Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania. 

Capital investments and real estate 

The Group’s capital investments are managed by the KD Kapital. This division includes real estate services, publishing, and 

managing of closed investment funds in South Eastern Europe (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska). 

In the Group KD Group, real estate services are provided by KD Kvart, a young, dynamic and ambitious company, whose 

core activity is investment engineering in the field of real estate. The strategy of the real estate division is to search for new 

opportunities for the development of real estate projects, real estate sale, and management of real estate owned by the 

Group KD Group.

2. BUSINESS REPORT 

REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF KD GROUP D. D. 

Global financial crisis provided an incentive for reorganisation of the Group KD Group and implementation of measures for 

business rationalisation. These activities began in 2009 and will continue 2010. The loss of EUR 44 million incurred by the 

Group KD Group in 2009 is to a large extent the consequence of poor performances of companies operating abroad and 

also a result of global financial crisis. The Group KD Group has already adopted strategic decisions concerning companies 

operating abroad in terms of which markets should be pursued further and from which to withdraw. The relevant measures 

have already been implemented. The poorest results were recorded by companies operating in South-eastern Europe 

(Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Serbia), the region where the financial crisis impact on financial institutions was worst and 

where the consequences were the largest. The major share of the loss incurred by the Group KD Group is due to the 

Group's withdrawal from the South-eastern European markets in which the Group did not have the controlling interest and 

where no profits were expected in the long-term. The proceeds will be used to realise the adopted strategy. Companies 

operating in Slovenia are performing well and in 2009 exceeded the planned results. 

The KD Group's performance in 2009 was better than in 2008, resulting in a loss of EUR 44 million. Operating revenue in 

2009 reached EUR 368 million, a decrease of 6 percent compared with 2008. Decrease in the revenue is due to the disposal 

of enterprises in the cinematographic division in 2008. Revenue from insurance premiums, which account for the majority of 

revenue, rose by 3 percent compared with 2008. At the end of the year, total assets amounted to EUR 848 million, an 

increase of 7 percent compared to 2008, whereas total capital was reduced by EUR 41 million or 21 percent compared with 

2008. At the end of 2009, the Group KD Group reported EUR 152 million of capital and EUR 182 million of financial liabilities. 

The majority (almost EUR 100 million) represents long-term financial liabilities maturing in 2015. I wish to stress that the 

Group KD Group regularly meets its obligations concerning interest and principal repayments. We have established good 

relationships with all commercial banks. In 2010, the Group KD Group is expected to generate profit of EUR 4 million, rising 

to as much as EUR 11 million in 2011. The results of the first few months of 2010 confirm these trends. 

The Group KD Group believes that the adopted strategic decisions provide solid basis for continued development of the 

Company and the entire Group KD Group. Majority of the KD Group's revenue comes from the third largest insurance in 

Slovenia, Adriatic Slovenica, the largest investment management company in Slovenia - KD Skladi, fast growing life 

insurance companyKD Življenje, and KD Banka, a private bank, rounding up a comprehensive palette of financial services 

provided by the Group. 

Insurance 

Insurance companies within the Group KD Group were in 2009 involved in intense expansion and improvement of their range 

of products and services as well as development of new, specialised insurance products aimed at individual target groups. 

Market share of 12.56 percent recorded in 2009, makes Adriatic Slovenica the third largest insurance company in Slovenia. 

In terms of property insurance, the insurance company held a 17.01 percent share in 2009, 23.9 percent share in health 

insurance places the company in the second place on the health insurance market, while the company holds the leading 

position on the market of above-standard health insurance. Due to its consolidated market network and modern insurance 

products supplemented by first-class assistance services, the insurance company has set even more ambitious goals for the 

next financial year. 

Life insurance company KD Življenje is the second largest life insurance providers in Slovenia and in spite of unstable 

economic conditions at the end of 2009 it increased its market share to 14.1 percent. Slovenian life insurance market was in 

2009 marked primarily by the financial crisis reflected in an average 3.8 percent decline which was preceded by several 

years of continuous growth of the life insurance sectors. 

The goals for 2010 include life insurance premiums of over EUR 84 million, over 256 million premiums for property insurance 

(including health insurance premiums) which translates into 3.6 percent increase in property insurance premiums and 5 

percent growth in the health insurance market. 

In accordance with the adopted strategic decisions, the Group KD Group will withdraw from those markets where the results 

are below the expectations and will instead, concentrate on the Slovenian market. 

8



KD Skladi maintained its leading position among the Slovenian management companies in terms of assets and range of 

funds and at the end of 2009 it managed over EUR 421 million of assets in 17 sub funds of KD Krovni sklad and KD ID, 

delniška investicijska družba. 

Five management companies operate within the Group KD Group which jointly manage 27 mutual funds and two investment 

companies. 

By the mid 2009 conditions on the capital markets were slowly stabilizing and from March onwards we have seen increase in 

share prices indices which improved the general level of investors’ optimism. Funds within the Group KD Group performed 

well in terms of their return (majority recorded positive returns) and in terms of new investors. In terms of return, they 

successfully competed with local and foreign competition with some of them being the leaders in individual categories. The 

increased trend in the number of accession forms continued and funds recorded positive inflows. At the end of 2009 total 

value of managed assets of all asset management companies in the KD Group reached EUR 449.1 million, compared to 

EUR 360.6 million recorded at the end of 2008. 

In 2010 we will continue with our efforts to confirm our excellence in asset management and justify investors' trust. We will 

intensify our efforts for improved recognition of KD funds in order to preserve the leading position in Slovenia and consolidate 

our market shares in South-eastern Europe. 

Banking 

2009 marked the entry of the Group KD Group in the banking sector. On 2 March 2009, following a resolution of the Bank of 

Slovenia to grant licence to KD BPD for the performance of banking and financial services and resolution of the Securities 

Market Agency to grant permission to KD BPD for statutory conversion from a limited liability company into a public limited 

company, the company became a public limited company and assumed a new name of KD Banka. Initially, KD Banka 

concentrated on private, personal and investment banking services, including stockbrokerage, individual asset management 

and corporate finance services. However, in order to adjust to the changed economic conditions, KD Banka decided for early 

implementation of the basic corporate banking services, while at the same time it was developing services for the mass 

market, which began to be marketed through the sales network of branch offices by KD Finančna točka in February 2010. 

At the end of 2009 KD Banka had more than 3,200 clients, while total value of assets held by private clients and assets in 

individual management stood at EUR 51 million, and 336 million of brokerage assets. 

In 2010 we intend to improve our range of banking services with new services including investment consultation, a range of 

credits and savings, as well as other financial instruments. The range of services adjusted to the needs and wishes of clients 

will be available through a variety of marketing channels. 

2010 

The basic orientation of the Group KD Group is to consolidate its position on the financial services market. In 2010 we will 

continue the process of business consolidation, preserve the existing strategy concerning strategic investments, and 

continue with well-thought disposal of investments which are not of strategic importance. In addition we will focus on 

successful companies and support their further development. 

Our mission is a satisfied customer able to choose between a comprehensive and complete range of financial services. We 

are gaining new, satisfied and loyal clients who are able to find solutions to their financial issues and realise their wishes at a 

single location – in the companies within the Group KD Group.

under individual management stood at EUR 51 million, and EUR 336 million of brokerage assets. The operations of 

the banking division were marked by financial crisis to which we have responded efficiently. Much attention was 

devoted to communications with our clients as we believe that direct communication is of vital importance as it 

enables development of an individual relationship between a bank clerk and the client. Therefore we adjusted our 

communications with clients to the time that was most suitable for them. In 2009 KD Banka focused on private and 

investment banking. We have developed a range of products for corporate entities inclusive of transaction accounts,

– By mid 2009 conditions on capital markets have slowly stabilised and from March onwards the growth on capital 

markets helped to boost investor confidence. In terms of return and also in terms of gaining new investors, the funds 

within the Group performed well. In terms of return our funds successfully competed against local and foreign 

competition and some were best performed funds in their individual categories. The trend of increasing number of 

accession forms has continued resulting in positive cash flows of the funds managed by the Group. At the end of the 

year total assets managed by all asset management companies in the Group stood at EUR 449.1 million, compared 

to EUR 360.6 million at the end of 2008.

EUR 260.6 million and KD Življenje EUR 68.7million). KD Življenje life insurance company is the second largest life 

insurance company in Slovenia and in spite of difficult market conditions, at the end of 2009 it increased its market 

share to solid 14.1 percent. In 2009 Adriatic Slovenica recorded a 12.56% market share, making it the third largest 

insurance company in Slovene insurance market. In property insurance division the insurance company recorded a

visitors in 2009, and our KD Plus Club had over 72,000 members at the end of 2009. 

Looking ahead to 2010 

– In the previous year we focused on expansion of our range of services with banking products and services. Through 

a comprehensive range of financial and insurance services we have realised one of our key strategic objectives of the 

KD Group. In 2010 we will devote our attention to making our products and services available to the wider public by 

developing sales channels which will enable individuals to arrange all their financial matters in one place. 

– Comprehensive range of products and services and complementarities between the Group companies allow us to 

efficiently utilise internal synergies. In 2010 we shall strive to organise our operations in a manner that will ensure 

efficiency whilst at the same time preserving or even improving high quality standards of our services.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS 

Capital markets in 2009 

The US and Europe in 2009 

In the latter months of 2008, the financial crisis of 2007, with its epicentre in the USA who account for almost one quarter of 

the world’s GBD and over 16 percent of global demand, shifted from financial markets to the real market, spreading to the 

whole world. In the first quarter of 2009 there was no single safe investment as all sectors were in the red. In the beginning of 

March, the US S&P 500 index fell through the 700 barrier and continued its fall, reaching its lowest point in the past thirteen 

years on 9 March with 666 points. There was much talk about the possible repeat of the depression from the 1930s, about 

the volatility of the financial system, potential nationalisation of some of the largest US banks, and similar scenarios. When 

the probability of such scenarios occurring reduced and several sectors succeeded to regain the position before the failure of 

the US investment bank Lehman Brothers, the conditions were right for the beginning of the strong growth of global stock 

markets. The winner of the first half of the year was the technology sector which in the first six months of 2009 gained 24.08 

percent, followed by the energy and raw materials sector with 12.28 percent growth and the sector of durable consumer 

goods which in that same period gained 7.52 percent, whereas the financial and industrial sector remained in negative 

figures in the first half of 2009 recording a 4.76 percent and 7.68 percent decline respectively. In the second half of 2009, the 

market needed proof that the economy had reached the bottom and was eagerly awaiting the first information of the actual 

outset of economical revival in the developed world. The next condition for higher exchange quotations was the publication of 

profits achieved in the second quarter of 2009 which, in the case of US S&P 500 index, surpassed all analysts’ expectations 

in over 70 percent of announced results. In addition to these, the zero interest rates and support in the increased liquidity of 

central banks which additionally contributed to high gains on stock markets, should not be overlooked. After the credit crunch 

in the second half of 2008 and the first few months of 2009, central banks were forced to, with increased liquidity, support the 

financial sector, make available credit lines and support the remaining economy in the developed world. The US S&P 500 

index recorded a nearly 26 percent growth at the end of 2009 and by the beginning of March, it increased by a total of 68 

percent compared to its lowest point. Last year’s growth of the S&P 500 index is the highest since 2003. Revival of the 

labour market and accessibility to and availability of new loans will be of key importance in 2010. The question of how stable 

is the final consumption which is, as has been demonstrated several times, to a large extent dependent on the repayment of 

debt of US consumers, still remains. In the past 20 years, consumers financed increased consumption with ever increasing 

indebtedness, a process which is, at least for the time being, locked. Increased consumption on account of higher stock 

market prices cannot be expected since real estate prices continue to be under pressure and nearly two thirds of an average 

American family’s assets are tied in this particular segment. The rate of savings is currently stable at around 4 and 5 percent 

and since production capacity utilisation remains at historically low levels, no wage and salary increases can be expected at 

least in the short-term. The main risks that could in 2010 surprise investors include the following: 

• Private sector’s inability to compensate for reduced government subsidies. 

• Analysts’ expectations during the year may become too optimistic. 

• Bank balances are worse than is currently reported. 

• Any difficulties in China. 

• Problems with government debt (Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy and other) 

• US dollar growth and break in the “carry trade” process. 

Other global markets 

In the developing economies, the beginning of 2009 was marked primarily by a number of crises aimed at stimulating the 

national economies. Central banks continued to reduce the base interest rates, while the governments were providing 

cashrescue plan, planning increased budget expenditures and through changed tax policies, waived future budgetary 

revenue. In November the government of the largest Asian economy, China, adopted aid package of nearly US$ 600 billion, 

which accounts for nearly 15 percent of its gross domestic product, with a view to primarily increase expenditure for 

infrastructure construction and modernisation, reduce taxes and provide welfare aid to the poorest. The global crisis was a 

strong signal to China that it will have to change its GDP structure, increase the share of domestic consumption and reduce 

its dependency on imports. In spite of a widespread scepticism that prevailed at the beginning of 2009, it is clear today that 

in 2009, Chinese economy with its 8.7 percent growth in GDP, was the main driving force behind the global economic revival. 

Despite low exports, by fiscal and monetary measures China succeeded in making domestic demand the principal driver 

behind economic growth. With almost no exceptions, in 2009 central banks in developing economies reduced interest rates 

and some also reduced obligatory reserves which commercial banks have to ensure.

In India, successful parliamentary elections contributed to growth of the stock market index. At these elections, which lasted 

for a month (from mid April to mid May), the leading Congress party were the conclusive winners with 206 seats out of a 

total of 543, which is the best election result of any party since 1991. A day after the election results were announced, Indian 

stock market, after a few interruptions in trading, recorded an incredible 17 percent growth. With a slight delay, positive news 

began to trickle also from the Russian economy which was, due to its high dependency on exports of oil and some other raw 

materials, during the economic crisis most affected among the developing economies. The Russian central bank at the end 

of September again reduced the key interest rate to give additional boost to the domestic economy. Currently the key interest 

rate stands at 8.75 percent. 

One of the more piercing measures taken by the Brazilian government in 2009 was without a doubt expansion of its welfare 

aid for the poor which is currently provided to over a million of the poorest households. Extensive aid and social reforms are 

the reason why countries were able to more or less avoid otherwise expected social unrest and political crisis. The Brazilian 

Bovespa index recorded a 121 percent growth in 2009. Towards the end of 2009, capital markets were shocked by the news 

of impending bankruptcy of Dubai, but thanks to the intervention of Abu Dhabi, the news was short-lived. 

Slovenia and the Balkan markets 

Less liquid or marginal markets did not perform well in 2009 in terms of return. Almost all lagged behind the stock market 

indices of developed countries and large developing countries. The main reason why these markets are rightly described as 

marginal markets is certainly inefficiency of information technology and uncharacteristic deviation from foreign market trends. 

On the other hand, these markets are relatively new and investors were more or less restricted to the local or regional areas. 

All of the Balkan markets, including the Slovene market, reached their peaks as an example of a stock market boom fuelled 

by speculations of takeovers and in terms of its size, it can be compared to that experienced by the technological market in 

2009. An important element of fuelling these markets were high global tendencies to taking risks and low interest rates. The 

Slovene SBI 20 index rose by 10 percent, Serbian Belex gained 15, Croatian Crobex 16 percent, and Macedonian MBI-10 

recorded a 31 percent increase, whereas Bosnian SASX-10 closed at a loss of 15 percent. The region successfully 

maintained stability in the most difficult period of the first half of 2009 primarily thanks to support provided by the IMF and the 

EU as well as the commitment of all major European banks not to significantly lower their lending facilities. In terms of 

currency, the highest depreciation was recorded by the Serbian dinar which lost 10 percent, and which affected positively on 

higher cover of imports with exports, stimulated domestic exporters and due to underdevelopment of the economy, there was 

a slight effect of imported inflation due to the general deflationary climate in importing partners. Slovenia recorded a 

considerable increase in unemployment rate following a fall of some of the giants such as Mura, and there was a 

considerable amount of uncertainty with regards to the fall of the domestic real estate market, which did not result in any 

significant decline in real estate prices. Based on quarterly results of Slonep the price of one m2 of an apartment in Ljubljana 

fell by an average of 3-6 percent, whereas December payout was by 6 percent higher than in the same period of 2008. In 

terms of the average annual salary increase in Slovenia, housing prices in Slovenia are slightly higher compared to the 

developed Western markets, whereas compared to the real estate prices in East and Central Europe, they are considerably 

lower. Based on an average salary, an average Slovene can acquire 4.5 m2 of real estate compared to nearly 10m2 that can 

be purchased by an average German house hunter or only 2m2 afforded by the Slovak or Bulgarian citizen. The past year 

lead to disintegration of a number of large systems such as: Istrabenz, the Pivovarna Laško Group (whose negative results 

burden the Slovene banking system), as well as Petrol. Foreign investments of some of Slovene companies such as 

Zavarovalnica Triglav and Intereuropa proved to be less profitable which resulted in limited amount of inexpensive sources of 

funds. In spite of low Euribor rate (0.7 percent) bank margins are high due to uncertain faith of the domestic construction 

industry, numerous new provisions and continued difficulties in securing external funding.

Operating revenue 

Structure of operating revenue 

Operating revenue amounted to EUR 367.9 million in 2009, down 6percent compared to 2008. Net revenue from insurance 

premiums, which represents the largest share of total operating revenues (90%), was up 3 percent from 2008 to EUR 330.1 

million. Net revenue from sales of goods and services was down 51 percent in 2009 to EUR 11.6 million. The main reason 

lies in the sale of the cinematography activity in September 2008, whose relevant amount of revenue was included in the 

consolidated revenue. A sharp drop was also recorded in revenue from fees and commissions primarily due to the tightening 

of financing conditions. Revenue from fees and commissions was down 25 percent compared to 2008 and stood at EUR 

10.8 million. Other operating revenue accounts for 4 percent of total operating revenue.

2009 2008 

In terms of sales, property insurance leads with EUR 142.7 million followed by health insurance (EUR 100.2 million) and life 

insurance with EUR 90.1 million. The first two recorded 4 percent growth, while life insurance recorded 1 percent increase 

compared to 2008. Revenue earned by financial services fell on account of lower commissions, whereas cinematographic 

sector will probably be sold. 

Net finance income from investments 

Net finance income from investments reached EUR 45.1 million in 2009. The reason for the higher net inflow was the revival 

of stock markets which resulted in an increase of financial assets (financial assets measured at fair value through profit or 

loss).

Operating expenses 

In 2009 operating expenses 19 totalled EUR 431.4 million, up 22 percent compared to 2008. In the operating expenses 

structure, the majority, 63 percent represents net expenditure for insurance entitlements and claims, which recorded a 73 

percent increase in 2009, primarily due to increase in liabilities to the unit-linked investments (stock prices growth in 2009 

compared to 2008) and thus the increase in long-term insurance provisions. Compared to the previous year, costs of 

services which account for 16 percent of total operating expenses, are down by 9 percent, as are labour costs which account 

for 13 percent of total costs and which recorded an 11 percent decline. This reduction is due to the disposal of 

cinematographic activities and rationalisation of the costs in the Group. Majority of other expenses present revaluation 

operating expenses due to impairment of receivables, loans and goodwill.

EUR 795,5 million at the end of 2008. 

The highest growth was recorded by investments of the insured and reinsurance contracts (72 percent) which is tied to the 

growth in stock market prices in 2009. Cash and cash equivalents increased by 30 percent compared to 2008, pointing to an 

improved liquidity of the Group when compared to the end of 2008. In terms of their structure, financial assets and

Equity and liabilities 

Equity was reduced by 22 percent to EUR 151.6 million at the end of 2009, primarily due to a reduction in capital surplus. 

Liabilities to the unit-linked investments rose to EUR 140 million and there was also an increase in liabilities from insurance 

contracts which at the end of 2009 stood at EUR 296.1 million. Financial liabilities of EUR 196.1 million represent an 8 

percent increase, slightly more than the 7 percent increase of total equity and liabilities. 

39


The equity independence ratio indicating the share of equity in total liabilities (shown in the introductory overview of ratios) 

dropped to 17.9 percent as a result of a decrease in equity. It should be noted that the ratio is low primarily due to the 

specific characteristics of the insurance balance sheets which include liabilities arising from insurance contracts within items 

of equity and liabilities.

Risk management 

In times of deepened financial and economic crisis, the Management Board of KD Group is regularly adopting measures that 

will to the largest possible extent impact risk management and contribute to the achievement of set goals. 

Conditions in the internal and international business environment deteriorated significantly in 2009. Thus the deepening of 

the financial turmoil has already been felt in the real sector of the economy. In this situation, risk management at the 

company and the Group KD Group was immediately adapted to new conditions. Since the situation does not permit us to 

exert excessive influence on the revenue side, we are focused on the more efficient handling of resources, increasing 

effectiveness and searching for additional opportunities to exploit synergies. 

Strategic risks 

KD Banka, which designed the overall risk management strategy, began operating in 2009. It defines, forecasts and 

summaries for each individual type of risks the strategies applicable to risk assumption and management, as well as policies 

relating to risk assumption and management in conjunction with the internal control system organisation that ensures the 

implementation of the strategies. This lays down clearly and transparently the responsibilities, competences, systems and 

processes from the Management Board, executive officers up to the senior management and all those involved in the risk 

management system. 

Strategic risks that affect the long-term development of the Group include the risk of a loss due to incorrect and/or untimely 

business decisions made by the Group companies, inappropriate implementation of the adopted decisions, and insufficient 

response of the Group companies to changes in the business environment. This is of exceptional importance particularly in 

such major changes in business environment as has been witnessed recently by the majority of global economy. In these 

conditions risks should be managed by implementing and regular monitoring of the appropriateness of the Group's 

strategies, their implementation and timely response to changed business circumstances. 

Due to highly diversified activities of the companies owned by KD Group, investment decisions taken in individual segments 

continue to be of key importance. Therefore, the managing and governing system is continually adjusting to the external 

changes and the development of individual segments, as well as to the achievement of target returns. 

General business risk 

Our activities and decisions have no impact of the wider economic environment or relevant legislation. Thus risks are more 

difficult to measure and model. We manage these risks by regularly monitoring legislation, capital markets and 

macroeconomic parameters. Amendments to legal regulations that significantly affect our business environment are quite 

frequent and complex. A series of legislative changes have occurred in Slovenia and the countries of South Eastern Europe 

in the past year that have affected our key areas of operations and required numerous activities to adapt them. 

Financial risk 

The primary purpose of financial risk management is to achieve stable operations and reduce exposure to specific risks to an 

acceptable level. The Group is highly exposed to financial risks through its financial assets and liabilities, reinsurance 

receivables and insurance liabilities. The possibility that inflows from financial investments will not be sufficient to cover 

outflows from insurance contracts represents the main risk, as well as the risk that, at a given moment, other companies will 

not have sufficient funds to settle their current liabilities or to maintain current operations. Given that most companies in the 

Group are involved in regulated activities, this area is already controlled to a large extent by observing legislative provisions. 

The most significant components of financial risk are changing interest rates and securities prices, and currency and credit 

risk. It became clear in the most recent period that financial risk and its management are of key importance for the 

achievement of set objectives. Therefore, we continuously plan and monitor cash flows and attempt to proactively ensure the 

stability of our operations. 

The risks related to market risk management are managed independently by Group companies using methods linked 

primarily to the legal aspects of specific industries and may vary significantly by individual divisions. Group companies 

monitor and manage market risks from investments in financial instruments by carefully selecting the sector and 

geographical composition of investments. In the segment of asset management, market risks are monitored, assessed, and 

42


managed by using quantitative methods of risk assessment compared to the selected returns criteria. In accordance with the 

Insurance Act, insurance companies are obliged to match long-term business fund investments with their liabilities arising 

from insurance contracts, the amount of which depends on changes in exchange rates, interest rates and securities prices. 

The method of managing these risks and exposure thereto are presented in detail in the financial section of the consolidated 


Operational risk 

Operational risk (including legal risk) is the risk of loss arising primarily due to inadequate or incorrect implementation of 

internal controls, other inappropriate conduct by personnel involved in the company's internal operations, inadequate or 

incorrect functioning of systems that relate to the company's internal operations, and external events or acts. Operational risk 

also includes IT risk, which is the risk of data loss resulting from inadequate information technology and processing, 

particularly in terms of manageability, access, integrity, supervision and continuity. Operational risk is managed by 

companies by identifying opportunities and threats in their respective areas and by managing business processes. The 

management of these risks is subordinate to the strategic and business objectives of individual segments and companies. 

In all larger KD Group companies, we manage operational risk by introducing ISO standards (at companies where this 

makes sense due to the complexity of processes) and using standard software for accounting and investments. Risks are 

also mitigated by a standardised system of annual planning and monthly reporting that provide the parent company with 

information about the operations of subsidiaries in a timely manner. In this regard, the new planning model facilitates flexible 

planning and contributes to the monitoring of established objectives and the timely adoption of measure in the context of a 

change in assumptions. 

The internal audit department has been particularly diligent with regard to signs of fraud in all previously performed internal 

audits. In this respect, the internal audit department assesses the probability of fraud arising. Any deviations are reported in 

the scope of individual internal audit reports. Risks of improper conduct of people, in the context of increased pressures on 

employees as a "by-product" of the current turmoil, may also be seen as the increased risk of fraud, common in the 

international environment. Therefore, time has been reserved in the proposed plans of the internal audit department for 

2010 to raise the awareness of our employees. Plans include training on the subject of recognising indicators or signs of 

fraud. 

Insurance risks 

Within the framework of insurance risk, the operations of insurance companies are exposed to underwriting process risk, 

product design risk, pricing risk, economic environment risk, policyholder behaviour risk, reserving risk and claims risk. 

In view of the above, and the nature of insurance contracts, where insurance risks are random and unpredictable, insurance 

companies in the Group have developed their own policies for concluding insurance contracts in order to diversify the 

assumed risks. Measures taken in order to manage insurance risks are as follows: 

– risks that exceed a predetermined amount are transferred to a reinsurance company; 

– diversification of assumed risks and achieving sufficient number of risks in individual categories to reduce 

variability of anticipated results (diversification and portfolio increase), 

– parameters defining the insurance premium are assessed adequately when new insurance products are 

developed; 

– effective implementation of internal controls, 

– creation of appropriate amount of provisions, 

– monitoring and analysing changes to ensure timely and proactive measures. 

Details regarding the distribution of maximum loss (maximum insured sum) by the sectors in which policyholders operate and 

the diversification of the insurance portfolio (exposure to the largest policyholders) are disclosed in the financial section of the 


43


Human resource risk 

The risks in this area are carefully managed at the Group level and directly through individual companies in the Group, as 

employees are the key to our success. To mitigate the risk of excessive employee turnover, we educate and train our 

employees, attend to the working environment and general employee satisfaction, organise meetings of all employees, 

stimulate affiliation with the Group, strengthen the social security of employees with additional insurance, and by 

implementation of modern human resource policies and practices in line with the adopted human resource vision and 

strategy. 

More information about employees is included in chapter Human resources and their development. 

Reputation risk 

A potential loss due to a negative corporate or Group image is difficult to measure and even more difficult to correct. We 

maintain and augment the Group's reputation and boost the value of our brands in the eyes of our customers, business 

partners, owners, investors and regulators through good performance and by managing all other risks. We constantly 

communicate with the community and financially support numerous cultural and sporting events, and humanitarian 

campaigns. 

IT-related risk 

We constantly introduce new information support for work process at all companies in the Group. We manage this process 

through an appropriate organisational structure, the inclusion of specialist departments, internal auditing, diligent testing and 

project management. In 2009, the information systems of Group companies functioned well, without major interruptions that 

would have a significant impact on the company's operations. 

Legal risk 

Legal risks form an integral part of operational risks. We define these risks as a behaviour, the consequence of which is the 

legally justified intervention of a third party in the company's operations that causes it material or moral damage. This could 

arise as a result of violations of regulations, internal instructions, professional recommendations, contracts, good practices or 

ethical standards. These risks are managed through the adoption of internal rules of operation aimed at reducing the 

probability of harmful consequences and preventing actions caused by such circumstances. The legal function is integrated 

into the adoption of business decisions, providing for the timely detection of legal risks. 

Incidental risk 

Incidental events are quite rare but may have severe consequences for operations. The company protects itself against 

incidental risk through insurance or reinsurance contracts. 

Risk related to securities issued by KD Group d. d. 

The holders of securities issued by KD Group d. d. are exposed to the following risks: 

- Market risk: shares and bonds are sensitive to changes which the issuer cannot influence such as changes in the 

economy or legislation, crises, and natural and ecological disasters. 

- Liquidity risk: the risk of a security holder not being able to sell a security or only being able to sell it at a lower price 

owing to insufficient demand. 

- Credit risk: the risk of the bond issuer failing to pay interest and principal. 

KD Group d. d. can only influence the exposure to credit risk by managing other risks and thus influencing the stability and 

long-term growth of the Group.

Internal audit 

In 2009, the internal audit department, as an active member of the internal control system, helped the company and the KD 

Group achieve established objectives by stimulating a prudent and regulated method of evaluating and improving the 

effectiveness of procedures for controlling and managing risks and thus contributed to the generation of added value by 

providing independent and impartial findings and serving in an advisory role. In 2009, it also directly verified whether the 

internal control system is established, if it functions and whether it is effective in its objective to continue ensuring the legality, 

security, effectiveness and efficiency of operations and the protection of assets. Furthermore, the internal audit department 

was responsible for improving risk management and the recognition of the internal audit department within the Group by 

carrying out individual audits, through its advisory function and by organising training for all Group employees. 

Based on the internal audit department's strategy adopted in 2007 and uniform rules on internal audit planning and reporting, 

the internal audit department amended and expanded general internal audit rules in 2009 with the aim of achieving 

standardised actions, greater efficiency and the success of the internal audit function at the Group level. This led to adoption 

of a revised Document on the internal audit function. The revised document was drafted as a result of substantial 

amendments to the binding internal audit standards and changes in the management of KD Group d.d. (one-tier system) and 

represents the minimum standard applicable to the Group. Furthermore in 2009 we adopted the Policy of cooperation and 

development of the internal audit function of the KD Group with a view of utilising synergies, harmonisation, and with an aim 

of sharing the knowledge and best practices among internal audit services which are, in terms of their status and 

organisation, part of an independent and decentralised system. 

At the Group level, internal audit function is uniform to the extent that ensures that internal audit of the KD Group in individual 

subsidiary is involved in the selection of internal auditors, in annual preparation of plan of work, and in monitoring the 

implementation of recommendations and reporting in a manner that, in accordance with the professional recommendations, it 

acts as a coordination unit, and is charged with the development of standard internal audit methodology and general 

development of the internal audit function within the Group. The professional qualification of internal audit department 

employees is appropriate. Two internal auditors employed at KD Group d. d. are experienced in the areas of external and 

internal auditing and hold the relevant titles as bestowed by the Slovenian Institute of Auditors (certified internal auditor and 

certified accountant), as well as internationally recognised (CIA) and other titles (state internal auditor and state auditor). 

In 2009 we continued to carry out surveys of the audit subjects after completion of the internal audit (i.e. following a 

consolidated and final audit report). Based on the survey we drafted a plan of activities aimed at additional increase in the 

satisfaction of audit subjects and at raising internal audit's added value. 

Human resources and development 

At the Group KD Group we are aware that our employees are our important asset and investment for the future. With this in 

mind we devoted much effort into development, education and primarily promotion of innovative potential of our employees 

in all segments and at all levels of the Group. Therefore, we have specified what human resource management means and 

also redefined new roles of HR leaders as the key holders of the HRM function. Moreover, the Management devotes much 

attention to monitoring, measuring efficiency and particularly improving and upgrading the manner of work. We should also 

highlight the even more important role of internal communication and to this aim the most senior management of the Group 

was introduced and maintained dialog with all the employees. 

Within the framework of human resource strategy, we designed the concept of centralised HRM. Furthermore we redesigned 

and underlined the human resource management vision and mission and established its strategic goals. 

Key strategic goals of human resource management of the Group KD Group remain unchanged from one year to the other 

as these are of key importance for implementation of our vision. These goals include efficient HR organisation, interaction 

and orientation towards common goals, activities that are consistent with values, inter-cultural cooperation and employee 

mobility, excellent system of employee remuneration and motivation, as well as recognition in terms of professional 

competence and innovation of employees.

The Group had a total of 1,780 employees at the end of 2009, a decrease of 8.7 percent compared with 2008 (1,949 

employees). Reduction in employment is primarily due to optimisation of operations in KD Finančna točka, to certain extent 

in KD Skladi and in companies located abroad. In accordance with the project for establishment of KD Banka, a number of 

employees were transferred from KD Group d.d. into the newly established KD Banka. No other more significant changes in 

human resources occurred in the Group KD Group in 2009.

Training and employee development 

We look upon investment in the knowledge of our employees as investment in the future of the KD Group. Therefore we 

systematically invest in increased professional competence, general work competences and innovation of our employees. In 

2009 this was achieved through education, training and particularly through internal transfer of knowledge. 

Supporting formal education and training 

At the Group KD Group, we provide support and encourage our employees to continue education to achieve a higher level of 

formal education. To this aim we fund education and provide additional study leave for all employees who decide to pursue 

further education. We are aware that through formal education and increased level of education, we will ensure new 

knowledge, modern practices and latest information flowing to the Group. 

Internal transfer of knowledge 

In 2009 we strived to further establish the concept of internal education and to include all potential internal tutors in the 

process of continual education in individual professional areas as well as in general. We ensured uninterrupted transfer of 

knowledge between employees with the help of modern technology, and particularly through audio and video technology and 

we have begun establishing our internal knowledge base. The knowledge transfer was based primarily on the working 

system of learning using the Dschool method, and involved all employees in the workshops according to their competences 

in individual work areas. 

Additionally we strived to build up our internal library to promote knowledge transfer and self-learning process of employees. 

Monitoring job optimising and employee remuneration 

The Group KD Group is aware that efficient system of success recognition and remuneration is an extremely important 

element of human resource management towards their satisfaction and commitment. 

Employee remuneration 

Currently we are upgrading the complete system of employee remuneration at the Group level to promote success, 

entrepreneurial spirit and innovation of our employees. As we are also aware of the power and importance of non-financial 

remuneration, we have deliberately supported recognition of achievements of individuals with suitable commendation 

whenever appropriate. 

Care for our employees 

As the Group is active in the services sector, we are well aware of our strong dependency on satisfied, committed and 

motivated employees as it is only through them that we can satisfy the needs and aspirations of our stakeholders – business 

partners, customers and owners. . 

Attention to our employees 

In 2009 we again surprised our employees with small tokens of appreciation at their job positions such as gifts and greetings 

cards on major celebrations and events, Christmas gifts for children and organisation of “The First Day of School” We also 

made it possible for our employees to participate at a variety of cultural events, concerts and other events. Special attention 

was devoted in 2009 to all those who have been with the Group for a number of years to show our appreciation for their 

commitment and loyalty. 

Developing a close-knit working group 

Our employees actively participated and socialised in the “Kaj Dogaja” sports club and organised the fifth, now traditional KD 

Bowling Challenge. In addition we organised a number of teambuilding events where in addition to gaining new knowledge, 

employees were able to get to know each other better and socialise at a number of internally organised workshops and 

meetings organised with the most senior management. 

Charity and solidarity 

We would like to point out that the employees of the Group KD Group in 2009 again regularly attended blood donor 

campaigns and by donating little something of our own we contributed to the wider social community. We also assisted in 

education and promotion of charity work with the younger generation. 

Health and safety at work 

At the Group KD Group we strive to ensure optimum and pleasant working environment for all employees. In 2009 we again 

provided safe and appropriate working conditions and pleasant working environment. We regularly monitored and continually 

improved the quality of food served in our KD restaurant. At request of our employees we included vegetarian dishes on the 

menu and continually improved selection of dishes as we support and encourage our employees to pursue healthy life styles. 

48


In the autumn of 2009 we organised vaccination against seasonal and pandemic flu and carefully followed health 

organisations' guidelines concerning preventive health measures. 

Optimisation of operations 

The Group felt the impact of international economic and financial crisis and its consequences. Much of our energy and 

knowledge was directed to specifying the role, organisation and holders of HR function of the Group. With a view of 

optimisation of operations we began the project of centralisation of the human resource division and introduced our own 

concept of HRM administrators. We continued with the introduction of a contemporary HR information system based on the 

»know-how« and which we will use to increase the transparency of HR processes, optimise them and provide IT support. In 

addition this will give us an overall view of the human resource statistics of the Group. 

Recognition on the labour market 

In 2009 we strongly encouraged internal communication at the Group level, while we exercised more restraint in 

communication with the wider public and the labour market. Our aim was to strengthen our internal resources, optimise our 

strengths and grow so that in future years we can again actively take our position in public and on the markets. The HR 

vision remains unchanged as the KD Group strives to become the best employer for all our employees and to be recognised 

as such also by the labour market. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

In the insurance segment, the Group has been active in the development and modernisation of our range of insurance 

products and assistance services, expansion of our sales network, development of modern information technology solutions 

and safe and high quality services in all business segments. In KD Življenje insurance company we introduced two new life 

insurance products in 2009: “Fondpolica Maks Garant Plus” and whole life insurance “Življenjski kasko”, and improved life 

insurance policy »Fondpilica« by offering additional investment possibilities as well as the option of a wide selection of 

additional insurance products. By doing this we can ensure that we remain innovative and closely follow the needs of our 

target groups. In addition to product development, we actively pursued the development and adjustment of products for the 

demands of foreign markets. In 2009, KD Življenje continued processing its portfolio of existing insurance clients in order to 

improve and supplement existing insurance contracts. The process began in the last quarter of 2008 at the beginning of the 

global financial crisis. As part of the upgrading of the information system supporting life insurance products, in 2009 KD 

Življenje successfully implemented new information system Amarta. 

Adriatic Slovenica insurance company in 2009 actively pursued development of property and health insurance products. As 

the leading Slovene health insurance provider, Adriatic Slovenica improved its wide range of products while in terms of life 

insurance products, efforts were devoted primarily to the establishment of sales and after-sales services. In addition it 

launched a completely new property insurance “Dom AS”, which allows for insurance of all the property under one insurance 

policy, has a comprehensive range of extensive assistance services , and represents an important new development and a 

sales winner on the Slovene market. In the field of motor insurance Adriatic Slovenica designed new motor third-party 

liability insurance for the young drivers with fewer than three years of driving experience. This is a novelty on the Slovene 

market as is the new cover – option to surrender the first damage when underwriting motor liability insurance. Another new 

development is a long-term accident insurance of pre-school children and school children and liability insurance for members 

of management bodies where individuals can insure personal liability. Renewed “above” standard health insurance offers 

extensive existing cover in addition to a completely new coverage – medical procedures which are part of a one day 

treatment, endoscopy and tissue and cell tests. Alongside these developments, the company focused its efforts on the 

development and adaptation of property and health insurance to fit the Serbian market where a new subsidiary »AS 

neživotno osiguranje« began operating in September and who, in its first year of operations, gained almost 1 percent of total 

Serbian insurance market, and at the end of the year, 2.5 percent share of motor third-party liability. Adriatic Slovenica 

pursued development of its own market network through new representative offices and additional marketing channels, whilst 

at the same time expanding marketing network in Serbia with establishment of a new business unit and two representative 

offices in 2009. Today AS neživotno osiguranje operates in four branches and two offices. Adriatic Slovenica succeeded in 

preserving, strengthening and continually improving the quality of its insurance products and services thus increasing 

operating safety. The company successfully concluded the first stage of an extensive project of developing ASBI data 

warehouse, which allows its users (at various levels) fast access to uniform and quality information for decision-making 

process. The company is quickly transferring to a system of paperless, electronic data storage. 

Changed business conditions on the market as a result of financial and economic crisis required from companies in the 

segment of Investment fund management to continue with the process of business rationalisation and optimisation, while 

at the same time focusing on improving quality of existing services and developing new products, increasing business safety, 

improving quality of management services and ensuring simplified operations for the investor.

KD Skladi, Ljubljana and KD Investments, Zagreb, have launched new websites. KD Skladi upgraded its website with new 

user tools (investment computer, investor profile) and, as the first Asset management company in Slovenia, introduced video 

comments. 

The companies in this division were active in the development of risk management and information technology, 

methodologies and organisation as a response to amended relevant legislation and pursued development of sales 

techniques and new sales channels. 

In the beginning of 2009, KD Skladi introduced new Internet service for its investors - web-based office KD Skladi.net, where 

investors have free and safe access to their accounts in the selected KD Skladi funds. We continue development of 

information support to our operations and modern services for our investors to provide online access to individual funds. 

KD Skladi was among the first asset management companies in Slovenia to transform all of its 17 mutual funds into sub 

funds of the KD Krovni sklad. 

In cooperation with Concorde Premoženjsko svetovanje, KD Skladi develops new savings plan VIP plus 100 and VIP 100 

Premium. 

Investors (natural persons) in KD Skladi are able to make monthly payments through direct debit system. 

With a view of facilitating operations of investors, reducing investor documentation and making it easier to complete 

accession forms for several sub funds simultaneously, a new project »single accession form« was launched. 

KD Skladi began implementation of the Charles River order management IT system, support system that will allow for more 

efficient management (improved supervision, improved transaction implementation, introduction of derivative securities and 

better understanding of added value), and most of all, reduce operating risks. 

Year 2010 

In future we will continue to direct our activities in the development of products in accordance with industry trends and sales 

network initiative ( development of savings accounts and baskets of funds), whilst at the same time endeavour to upgrade 

and improve the existing products and services. 

We continue to develop friendlier and simpler modern business methods using the Internet. Our web-based office KD 

Skladi.net will be improved to allow investors not only to check the balance and monitor transactions, but also to gain access 

to funds and online services. 

Websites of the companies in the division will be upgraded with new contents and tools. 

In 2010 we intend to continue with activities related to the launch of a new distribution channel – newly established KD 

Banka, primarily by utilising product and sales synergies. 

Our aim for 2010 is also to complete the implementation of the Charles River IT system. 

In the Banking division, 2009 was marked by the development of banking infrastructure, products and sales channels, 

based on identified needs of (potential) clients, development opportunities, activities of our competitors, development trends 

and amendments to legislation. Much effort was devoted to setting up the basic banking applications and integrating the 

bank in interbanking connections, developing commercial banking products and electronic banking, which provides a 

number of novelties and advantages. Online banking which KD Banka introduced for its first users in November 2009, was 

one of the first in Slovenia to combine services of commercial and investment banking. Particular attention was devoted to 

the online banking safety in the information environment of KD Banka. In 2009, we developed a number of banking products 

for retail and corporate clients. Priority was given to solutions that directly impact either profitability of a client, product or 

sales channels, or customer satisfaction. Existing products offered by private and investment banking was supplemented by 

above-standard products for the mass market. The bank offers a variety of deposits, savings accounts, transaction accounts 

for corporate clients, personal accounts, credit card transactions, credits and other banking products and services that 

supplement the existing products and services of KD Banka. Within the framework of asset management and financial 

analyses we continued training and educational courses to obtain CFA certificate, all analysts and fund managers are 

involved. As high-class banking professionals are one of the prerequisites for successful operations, in 2009 we continued 

with strengthening professional knowledge in the area of private banking. Private and personal banking clerks attended an 

intense seminar on asset management of clients with above-average high net value and obtained DC Gardner Training 

certificate for private banking. DC Gardner Training is one of the world's leading companies involved in specialised 

education and training of private financial advisors. In the second half of 2009, KD Banka organised a number of training 

courses in banking services for financial advisors of KD Finančna točka.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GROUP KD GROUP 

The KD Group is an active partner that encourages, is involved and strives to improve environment in which we work and 

live. We encourage or clients to assume responsibility for their own financial safety and independence. We create safe, 

pleasant and stimulating working environment for our employees and encourage mutual cooperation and interaction. 

Through national and local sponsorship and humanitarian projects we are actively involved in social environment as we 

believe that this allows us to contribute to the implementation of values in which we firmly believe. 

EMPLOYEES 

The Group is aware that our employees are our key assets and investment in the future. To this aim we invested much 

energy and efforts into the development, education and particularly encouragement of innovative potential of employees in 

all areas and at all levels of the Group. The Group KD Group stimulates and encourages employees to pursue a higher level 

of formal education and we made special efforts to promote the concept of internal training and included all potential internal 

instructors in the process of continued education on individual specialised areas as well as at the general level. In 2009, we 

again delighted our employees with expressions of gratitude and giving gifts at major celebrations and events, Christmas 

gifts for children, organisation of the “First day of School” and supported our employees' participation at a variety of cultural 

events and visits to concerts and events. We organised the fifth, now traditional KD Bowling Challenge, a number of 

teambuilding events and meetings and took part in blood drives. More detailed information regarding employees and 

employee care is provided in the section Human Resources and Development. 

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT 

The principle activities of Group KD Group companies are not directly linked to environmental impacts. However, in our 

everyday activities we act responsibly by saving electricity and separating waste. We also consider the environmental aspect 

in our investments. Thus in 2006, KD Skladi, Ljubljana established KD Nova energija (KD New Energy), an equity mutual 

fund that primarily invests in companies in the renewable energy sector. 

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT 

We are actively involved in the local community through sponsorship activities and donations, which communicate a clear 

link to our corporate values of trust, growth, respect, excellence and support. 

CULTURE AND EDUCATION 

The Group has cultivated long-term partnerships with cultural institutions and with individuals and has invested in a number 

of educational projects. In 2009, we continued our work with the RTV Slovenija Symphony Orchestra. The guiding principle 

of this sponsorship activity is "the harmony of cooperation". We were again involved as sponsor in the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. 

Institute competition for the OHO Group prize for the young visual artist and supported the Cerkno Jazz Festival and the 

Comedy Days at Celje Public Theatre. 

KD Življenje continued its partnership with the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, which began back in 2005. On the occasion of 

Theatre's 60 th anniversary, in cooperation with the Anna's Fund which has for a decade supported large families to improve 

their quality of life, families with more than six children were given free tickets to see the puppets show. In cooperation with 

the Zveza prijateljev mladine (Association of Friends of Youth) they provided free entry to puppets shows for large number of 

under-privileged children from around Slovenia to try to reduce their distress and bring a smile to their faces. 

In 2009, KD Življenje continued its partnership with the Ljubljana Zoo. They supported the »Bear Day« to raise awareness of 

endangered wild animals in Slovenia and Europe and which was organised by all zoos, members of the European 

Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). In the scope of long-term cooperation, we supported the project »Arrival of 

Mischievous Friends to the Zoo« which provided new, larger and more modern habitat for four Saimiri Monkeys who arrived 

from the Gaia park in the Netherlands. Their arrival of the Samiri Monkeys was celebrated by a family event organised in 

celebration of the World Animal Day. 

In 2009, KD Življenje again organised a major family event at Postojna Cave called Day of Culture and Attractions. We also 

cooperated with Iskreni.net as co-organiser during the Festival of Families at Postojna Caves. 

51


Upon its entry on the market and under the private banking trademark KD Privilege, on 16 September 2009 KD Banka 

organised a professional event with a foreign speaker – then current Nobel prize winner for economy - Professor Paul 

Krugman. The event attracted over 600 of prominent guests from economy, politics, academic life, professional public and 

media, and received a wide response in Slovenia. As a sponsor, KD Banka participated at a charity event “Easter Yacht Ball” 

in hotel Kempinski in Portorož and at a charity Rotary-Lions golf tournament. 

Adriatic Slovenica insurance company continually recognises and responds to the needs of environment and is striving for 

sustainable development of local and wider social environment. In 2009, it was again actively involved in numerous activities 

and events organised by a variety of organisations, institutions, associations and societies, thus contributing to the 

implementation of initiatives and ideas. At this level the company participates on projects where, in line with the business 

policy, it participates as a sponsor or donator. Traditionally, the company supports projects from the field of health, 

education, culture, sport and traffic accident prevention. In the field of culture, education and nature preservation, Adriatic 

Slovenica's most important cooperation include those with Stud Farm Lipica, Auditorium Portorož, Koper Theatre (who is 

celebrating its first centenary in 2010 and which Adriatic Slovenia has supported since its establishment), and Ljubljana 

Festival. 

Sport 

Our support for a variety of sporting activities is aimed at spreading the idea of the active and sociable enjoyment of free 

time. The Group has supported the Slovenian Chess Federation for several years in an effort to promote professional and 

amateur chess in Slovenia. In 2009, KD Group supported the Slovenian Gymnastics Association on the occasion of the 42 nd 

Šalamun Memorial – World Cup in Men’s and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, and the event organised at the 50 th anniversary 

of establishment of the Sorica Hunting Club. 

Both, Group KD Group and KD Življenje were sponsors of International bridge tournament organised by the Bridge club 

Tivoli. KD Življenje also sponsored Sports Club Twist Nova Gorica, Ski Association Bohinj and Sports Club Poskokec. In 

addition to the insurance company KD Življenje, KD Finančna točka also participated as sponsor of various sports projects. 

Both companies sponsored KD Finančna točka Cycling Club Radenska, Marathon Franja and the Franja mini-marathon, 

Family marathon and many other cycling events. KD Finančna točka also sponsored Olimpija Swimming Club. 

In October 2009, KD Skladi participated as one of the sponsors at the 14 th Ljubljana Marathon and gave special awards to 

the most senior participants in the marathon and half-marathon. 

Adriatic Slovenica's support to sports is diverse however the majority of support has been give since 1993 to top athletes and 

Olympic representatives, in cooperation with the Slovenian Olympic Committee. One of recipients of its support is Vasilij 

Žbogar, a sailor from Izola who won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic games. In 2009, Adriatic Slovenica supported the 

promising swimmer Matjaž Markič who won a gold medal at the European Championships. For the ninth consecutive year 

Adriatic Slovenia is the proud sponsor and official insurance agency of the Slovenian Football Association. A variety of 

sports, societies, clubs and events are sponsored by Adriatic Slovenica. Among higher profile events, we also supported the 

Slovenia Open women's tennis tournament. 

Humanitarian activities 

The Group KD Group supports the volunteer efforts of its employees. We therefore include them in various humanitarian 

activities via KD Fundacija. We also organise blood drives in which an increasing number of employees participate. 

In 2009, KD Skladi again, for the second time participated in the humanitarian campaign “So lahko otroci boljši od borznih 

gurujev? “ (Can kids be better than stock exchange gurus?), organised by the magazine Moje finance. The aim of the 

campaign was to help children from poorer families. 

The main focus at Adriatic Slovenica remains the support of healthcare. In the field of health insurance we closely cooperate 

with the providers of healthcare and support education and initiatives that contribute to the development and reputation of 

medical profession. As the principal sponsor, we again supported the national My Doctor campaign, supported the two 

Health centres in Piran and Koper, the Izola General hospital, and assisted in organisation of International Congress of 

Medical Experts. We also assisted Park Škocjanske jame in the purchase of new automated defibrillator for visitors in the 

event of sudden nausea or cardiac arrest. We continued UNICEF Slovenia's Safe Points project in 2009, thus contributing to 

greater safety for children and adolescents in major urban areas. All the offices of Adriatic Slovenica are safe points for 

children and the projects has spread to 204 safe points around Slovenia. In cooperation with the Association of Friends of 

52


Youth we donated funds to organise holidays for children from socially deprived families as part of the project »Wink at the 

Sun«. 

KD Fundacija 

The Group established the AJDA Foundation back in 1995. Its primary purpose is to fund the education of children and 

investors in KD funds and those with above-average results and , but an under-privileged social background. Over time, the 

Group KD Group determined that the Foundation's original purpose had become too narrow. With the renaming of the AJDA 

Foundation to the KD Fundacija Foundation at the end of 2008, we expanded its objectives and purpose. In accordance with 

its purpose, in 2009 the Foundation encouraged and supported education and development of children and donated assets 

for humanitarian aid. As part of the exclusive musical event Volkswagner, organised on the occasion of the 15 th anniversary 

of its establishment, the KD Group donated some of the proceeds from each ticket sold to the KD Fundacija. With the funds 

collected, KD Fundacija in cooperation with the Association of Friends of Youth supported the Young and Europe project and 

made it possible for forty senior school pupils to take part in an educational trip around Europe. The Fundacija supported 

participation at International Children's Games in Athens.

3. OPERATIONS OF KD GROUP COMPANIES 

BANKING AND INVESTMENT FUND MANAGEMENT 

Banking 

2009 marked the entry of the Group KD Group in the banking sector. On 2 March 2009, following a resolution of the Bank of 

Slovenia to grant licence to KD BPD for the performance of banking and financial services and resolution of the Securities 

Market Agency to grant permission to KD BPD for statutory conversion from a limited liability company into a public limited 

company, the company became a public limited company and assumed a new name of KD Banka. Initially, KD Banka 

concentrated on private, personal and investment banking services, including stockbrokerage, individual asset management 

and corporate finance services. However, in order to adjust to the changed economic conditions, KD Banka decided for early 

implementation of the basic corporate banking services, while at the same time it was developing services for the mass 

market, which began to be marketed through the sales network of KD Finančna točka branches in February 2010. 

In addition to KD Banka in Slovenia, in 2009 the following companies within the banking segment operated on foreign 

markets: KD Securities in Bulgaria, SSIF KD Capital Management S. A. in Romania, and KD Upravljanje imovinom d. o. o., 

Zagreb, in Croatia. With the aim of adapting to the market circumstances and business optimisation of the stockbrokerage 

segment, in 2009 we began the process of the closure of KD Securities in Bulgaria. 

KD Bank's main projects in 2009 included successful start-up of the banking operations, development of the bank's 

infrastructure and services, and implementation of the private and personal banking concepts based on a wide palette of 

banking and non-banking services and top quality relationship with clients, and recruitment of new clients. Initially KD Banka 

entered the market of wealthy clients under the KD Privilege trademark intended primarily for increasing wealth and as such 

is designed to meet requirements of the most demanding individuals. As part of positioning and consolidating the reputation 

of KD Banka in the field of private banking and in order to gain new clients and strengthen relationships with other 

professional and influential public, in September 2009 KD Banka invited the then Nobel prize winner for economy, professor 

Paul Krugman, one of the most admired and influential world economists to be a speaker at the professional event KD 

Privelege. Professor Paul Krugman, professor of economy at the University of Princeton, talked about the current financial 

crisis, its origin, development and future measures of the financial sector and global economy. In the organisation of the 

event, KD Banka set up excellent cooperation with the Faculty of Economy in Ljubljana as the partner of the event and longterm 

relationships with other influential associations. 

In 2009, KD Bank focused on private and investment banking. We have developed a range of products for corporate entities 

inclusive of transaction accounts, deposits and a variety of credit facilities as well as online bank »Halcom«. For retail clients 

KD Banka developed variety o personal accounts, payment cards, savings accounts, deposit accounts with various 

maturities, Lombard loans and online banking. At the beginning of 2010, KD Banka entered the mass market with 

standardised products where the key sales channels include online banking and the network of KD Finančna točka branches 

all over Slovenia. 

At the end of 2009, KD Banka had over 3,200 clients, while total value of assets held by private clients and assets under 

individual management stood at EUR 51 million, and EUR 336 million of brokerage assets. The operations of the banking 

division were marked by financial crisis to which we have responded efficiently. Much attention was devoted to 

communications with our clients as we believe that direct communication is of vital importance as it enables development of 

an individual relationship between a bank clerk and the client. Therefore we adjusted our communications with clients to the 

time that was most suitable for them. In terms of corporate communications our efforts were devoted to the positioning and 

consolidating the recognition of the bank and its trademark KD Privilege. Improved client communications, further 

development of KD Banka products and services, and successful marketing of our products that allow for a number of 

options to increase wealth, are the vital elements for realising the set goals. 

54


Challenges in 2010: 

In the first quarter of 2010 we intend to successfully penetrate the mass market and offer wider population comprehensive 

range of banking products and services through a network of KD Finančna točka branches. 

In 2010 we will add new services to our range of banking products and services such as investment consultancy services, a 

number of different credit facilities, savings and other financial instruments. The range of products and services will reflect 

the needs and wishes of our clients and will be available through a number of marketing channels. 

KD Banka will continue to develop additional services of commercial and investment banking and will strive to meet the 

needs and wishes of both, individual clients and small and medium-size companies. Thus the bank will pursue its basic 

strategy - for KD Banka to become recognised medium-sized bank focused on private banking and the best provider of a 

comprehensive palette of investment banking services and asset management in Slovenia. 

In 2010 the development of sales channels will pursue three key goals: to enable and support introduction of new products 

and services through all key sales channels; ensure comprehensive overview of a client's transactions with the KD Group in 

one place for unification of user experience and improvement of the available functions, as well as development of new ones 

that are adjusted to the needs of clients.

Five asset management companies operating within the Group KD Group manage a total of 27 mutual funds and two 

investment companies in the South Eastern European region. The leading investment management company, KD Skladi, 

Ljubljana, is currently the largest asset management company in Slovenia. It manages KD Krovni sklad with 17 sub funds 

and KD ID, delniška investicijska družba, d. d.. In addition, it manages assets of well-informed investors. Currently there are 

four asset management companies operating outside Slovenia who jointly manage eleven investment funds: four mutual 

funds in Croatia, two in Romania, two mutual funds and one investment company in Bulgaria and two mutual funds in 

Macedonia. 

The core activity in this division is management of investment funds and assets of well informed investors. Our core strategy 

is to offer investors, primarily those from South Eastern Europe, the widest possible selection of investment opportunities, 

while also providing a comprehensive range of investment services in the region to investors from around the world. The goal 

of KD Skladi is to become within a period of five years a recognised central asset management company in Central Europe 

who, with top class professionals and excellent business processes manage assets of both Slovene investors and that of 

investors from neighbouring countries as well as money of global institutional investors. Our aim is to within five years gain a 

25 percent share of the Slovene market. In all other countries our goal is to establish profitable asset management 

companies with increasing market shares. 

By the mid 2009 conditions on the capital markets were slowly stabilizing and from March onwards we have seen increase in 

share prices indices which improved the general level of optimism of investors. Funds within the KD Group performed well in 

terms of their return (majority recorded positive returns) and in terms of investors. In terms of return, they successfully 

competed with local and foreign competition with some of them being the leaders in individual categories. The increased 

trend in the number of accession forms continued and funds recorded positive inflows. At the end of 2009 total value of 

managed assets of all asset management companies in the Group KD Group reached EUR 449.1 million, compared to EUR 

360.6 million recorded at the end of 2008. 

Changed business conditions on the market as a result of financial and economic crisis required from companies in the 

segment of Investment fund management to continue with the process of business rationalisation and optimisation, while at 

the same time focusing on the core activity of fund management and looking for synergies within the Group to improve 

quality of services and achieve professionalism and excellence in all business areas including corporate governance and 

responsibility of supervisory bodies. Asset management companies in the Group took advantage of the increased prices in 

capital markets to intensify sales efforts and market new savings plans and regain investors' trust. 

Main activities and achievements in 2009: 

- KD Skladi retained the leading position among Slovene asset management companies in terms of the volume of assets 

under management and selection of funds and at the end of 2009 it managed over EUR 421 million of assets in 17 sub

INSURANCE 

The insurance-related activities of the Group KD Group include life and property insurance (including health insurance. Two 

life insurance companies operate in Slovenia: KD Življenje, a life insurer, and Adriatic Slovenica, a universal insurer that 

markets life insurance and property insurance, including health insurance. In accordance with the Group's strategy of 

expansion to foreign markets, in 2009 insurance companies within the Group operated in the following foreign markets: 

Ukraine, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia through subsidiaries. Property insurance is marketed by property 

insurance company AS neživotno osiguranje a.d.o. Beograd in Serbia. 

Features of the Slovenian insurance market in 2009 

In the history of business, 2009 was marked by the biggest global economic crisis which affected also the field of insurance. 

This is evident in a moderate growth of property insurance premium and negative growth of gross life insurance premium. 

Experts assume that the latter is a consequence of a lower interest among the population to invest free assets in investments 

funds which have accelerated the growth of life insurances in the past years. At the same time the market is becoming more 

and more competitive since foreign insurance companies are entering the market of the already fierce domestic competition. 

By the end of December 2009, there were 23 insurance entities engaged in the insurance activities and based in the 

Republic of Slovenia. Among them, 11 insurance companies sell life insurances, 2 reinsurance companies and 3 affiliates of 

foreign insurance companies. The competitiveness in the insurance sector has become stronger in all segments, especially 

in the field of life and health insurance. 

In terms of the insurance market development, Slovenia ranks among semi-developed countries. Regarding the share of the 

total life insurance premium in the gross domestic product in 2008, Slovenia reached the seventeenth place among the EU 

countries, according to the latest available data. It was thus placed before the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Slovakia, 

Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Greece and Romania. Regarding the height of the premium income per capita it holds 

the eighteenth place. 

Unlike the comparable EU countries, Slovenia still reaches a significantly lower share of life insurances in the total insurance 

premium. The share has been constantly growing. From 2000 to 2009 it increased by 11 percentage points, from 19.4 

percent to 30.4 percent (including pension insurance). The reasons for such a low share of life insurance are considerable 

share of social insurances, insufficient knowledge about life insurance products and lack of awareness of the importance of 

such insurances. 

In comparison to 2008, the extent of transactions in property insurance companies grew on the average by 5 percent. In 

2009, property insurance companies (not considering the Pension Fund Management and the Fund for Craftsmen and 

Entrepreneurs) gained EUR 1,445.2 million with property insurance premiums. While a 3.8 percent decrease has been noted 

on the life insurance market during the period under review, the ordinary insurance companies (excluding the Pension Fund 

Management and the Fund for Craftsmen and Entrepreneurs) gained EUR 486.8 million of life insurance premiums. 

Insurance at the Group KD Group 

The Group KD Group's key strategic orientations in the insurance division are based primarily on growth in domestic and 

foreign operations and the provision of a comprehensive range of financial services through various sales networks. 

Thus the Group consolidated and strengthened existing sales channels in Slovenia. 

In 2009, Group KD Group insurance companies comprehensively expanded and enriched their portfolios and developed 

new, specialised products for individual target groups. In Slovenia, KD Življenje continued in its role as the leader in new 

product development and developed two new products in 2009: Fondpolica Maks Garant Plus, Fondpolica Maks Garant with 

additional safety features that allow for fast and high return in spite of fluctuating financial markets and Whole life insurance – 

life insurance for the event of death with a constant and downward insurance premium and defined insurance term. The 

insurance company improved life insurance policies Fondpolica and KD Družina and KD Pokojnine by inclusion of the 

Zajamčeni paket (Guaranteed package) a new investment package which makes these insurance products even more 

adaptable. With the introduction of the Active investment package the insurance company has upgraded the best selling of 

its all investment packages in the Fondpolica investment-linked life insurance packages namely, Dynamic investment 

package. 

In the field of property insurance Adriatic Slovenica once again developed a range of new products in 2009. It offered Dom 

AS, a new, comprehensive immovable and movable property insurance enabling the insurance holders to insure their entire 

property (their house, apartment and its equipment, agricultural machines, pets and many more subject matters) with one 

policy. In the field of car insurance they expanded their quality offer and launched a new package of car insurance offering 

special advantages to the insurance holders upon taking out the car liability insurance (AO) and car liability insurance plus 

(AO plus) package. They were the first in Slovenia to introduce something completely new for young drivers - the insurance 

60


policy called “My first car policy” intended for the young with less than three years of driving experience. This policy 

substitutes a 25 percent additional payment in the car liability insurance for a car driven by a less experienced driver. In 

addition, the insurance covers a driver and not an individual vehicle. Those who chose the car liability insurance package in 

June were offered also the possibility of redemption of the first loss which prevents them from losing points on a rating scale 

after the first loss event. The company actively began to market unique credit insurances in case of accidental death, 

permanent disability and unemployment due to non-fault-based grounds. It introduced an exclusive offer of liability insurance 

for the members of the Slovenian Directors’ Association performing management or supervisory functions, with which one 

can insure personal liability for damages for the performance of the function of a member of management and supervisory 

boards. In addition, Adriatic Slovenica broadened its offer of accident insurance for school children. In September they 

offered a possibility of long-term accident insurance policies for preschool children and primary and secondary school 

students. This offered fixed premiums and insurance sums during the entire educational process, health insurance with 

assistance CORIS during every summer holiday and numerous other advantages and benefits. Adriatic Slovenica also 

remained the leading Slovenian insurance company offering above standard health insurances in 2009. In June it launched a 

renewed above standard health insurance for the above standard services in specialist outpatient clinics, offering expanded 

existing coverage and also medical procedures which are part of a one day treatment, endoscopic and cell and tissue tests. 

We have expanded our offer abroad as well. At the beginning of 2009 we introduced a new type of life insurance called 

Debut in Ukraine and in the middle of the year we presented a new type of accidental death insurance in Bulgaria. On other 

markets we continued to sell life insurances which we had offered on the market already in the previous years. The Serbian 

AS neživotno osiguranje a.d.o. Beograd markets besides property insurance also accident and voluntary health insurances 

(in packages together with car insurances) and assistance insurances through Coris. AS neživotno osiguranje a.d.o. Beograd 

started operating in September 2008. In 2009 it was already well established on the Serbian insurance market.. By the end 

of 2009 the company held a 3.5 percent market share in the field of third party car insurance. 

In 2009, the Group KD Group achieved a 17.0 percent share of the Slovenian insurance market, with total premiums 

collected of EUR 329.3 million (AS 260.6 + KDŽ 68.7). 

On foreign markets, the Group KD Group collected total life insurance premiums of EUR 6.8 million and total property 

insurance premiums of EUR 5.1 million EUR (restated at the effective mean rate of the National Bank of Serbia as at 31 

December 2009). 

Life insurance company KD Življenje is the second largest life insurance providers in Slovenia and in spite of unstable 

economic conditions, at the end of 2009 it increased its market share to 14.1 percent. Slovenian life insurance market was in 

2009 marked primarily by the financial crisis reflected in an average 3.8 percent decline which was preceded by several 

years of continuous growth in the number of life insurances. 

Life insurance companies experienced a large number of cancellations or withdrawals from insurances in comparison to the 

previous years. Therefore in the future life insurance offers shall include current life insurances covering the risk of death, or 

standard life insurances under which the insured person receives the agreed sum after a set period of time. The investment 

insurances will include interesting products with a guarantee, and in not so distant future, also annuity insurances. Regarding 

the situation on the financial markets we expect a moderate increase in the number of life insurances in the medium term. 

12.56 percent market share of Adriatic Slovenica in 2009 makes it the third largest insurance company in Slovenia. In terms 

of property insurance, the insurance company held a 17.01 percent share, in terms of health insurance its share in 2009 of 

23.9 percent places the company in the second place on the health insurance market, while it holds the leading position on 

the market of above-standard health insurance. Due to its consolidated market network and modern insurance products 

supplemented by first-class assistance services, the insurance company has set even more ambitious goals for the next 

financial year. Regarding the situation on the Slovenian market, the offer and the possibility to take out the widest range of 

insurances (property, health, life and pension insurances) bring an additional advantage on the market. In times of limited 

access to other financial sources, comprehensive and quality insurance and financial services give our insurance holders a 

bigger financial and personal security. 

In Slovenia, the largest share of sales of KD Življenje life insurance was achieved through KD Finančna točka, which last 

year had 14 regional branches, while the mobile network employs more than 250 active contractual partners and employed 

marketing professionals. In terms of their number, contractual agencies of the insurance company took the second place 

after the marketers, followed by our own network of representatives KD Življenje. 

Adriatic Slovenica is increasing property insurance sales through an extensive marketing network and, at the end of the last 

year, provided insurance services at nine business units in all of Slovenia’s main regional centres, three branches, 46 

representative offices and in the contracted marketing network of insurance agents with 96 underwriting locations and 114 

points of sale via complementary sales channels, for a total of 268 sales outlets. The marketing network was equipped with 

61


additional points of sales and improved after-sales services developed to improve market coverage. The insurance company 

also developed complementary market channels. 

In foreign countries life insurances were marketed through the network of our own representatives, KD Finančna točka and 

EU Life sales channels, contractual agencies and representative insurance agencies. The marketing of property insurance 

was carried out through the subsidiary company AS neživotno osiguranje a.d.o. Beograd and through its operating units and 

offices and points of contract conclusions. In 2009 the marketing network expanded. In addition to the business units in 

Belgrade, Novi Sad and Čačak which was transferred to a new location because of the increased scope of business 

transactions, a new business unit was opened in Niš. Two new offices started to operate in June in Kruševac and Šabac. 

Challenges in 2010

(including health insurance premiums) which translates to 3.6 percent increase in property insurance and 5 percent

Selling activities of the Group KD Group 

During the global crises it is crucial to take care of the buyer, therefore the sale is our most important activity. By reorganising 

the Group KD Group we raised the sale to a strategic level where KD Finančna točka plays the key role. Namely, it is the 

Group’s main selling channel and at the same time the only channel which joins and combines all products of the companies 

within the Group KD Group - investment in mutual funds, life, property and health insurances, securities brokerages and also 

banking services. Our vision is to provide the widest range of products and services at one place and remain the leading 

company selling financial products of the Group KD Group in Slovenia with the best standard of services. Apart from a wide 

range of products and expert advisory service, the main advantage of KD Finančna točka is its accessibility, which can only 

be reached with our strong network of regional branch offices all over Slovenia and mobile networks of marketing advisers. 

Additional support is provided through our web portal www.financna-tocka.si and a call centre. The mission of KD Finančna 

točka is thus to increase the satisfaction of our clients with our offer of innovative, excellent and competitive financial 

products at one place with the help of a chosen personal adviser. By doing this we meet and importantly supplement the 

goals of the Group. 

The KD plus club functions within the framework of the company KD Mark. Its main goal is to strengthen the trust of the 

already existing clients of the Group. The KD plus club offers its clients numerous advantages related to the Group’s financial 

services and benefits from other various fields offered by external partners. In addition, the Club connects the services of the 

companies within the Group, and strengthens and establishes synergy effects among the companies. 

In 2009, KD Finančna točka had 14 regional branch offices. The mobile network was composed of 250 active contractual 

partners and employed marketing professionals. A call centre with 24 associates, 4 of which are permanently employed, and 

of course our website www.financna-tocka.si provide additional support to personal sales and an additional communication 

channel for clients. In 2010, the website will get a new image and structure as well as an integrated and enhanced the offer 

of the Group’s products. The website www.financna-tocka.si will thus enable quick, transparent and simple obtaining of 

information in carrying out the Group’s financial services anyplace and anytime. 

64


At the end of 2009, the offer of KD Finančna točka comprised life insurances of the insurance company KD Življenje, 

information, advisory services and an access to 17 sub-funds of the KD Krovni sklad and the savings plan VIP 100 Premium 

of the asset management company KD Skladi, health and property insurances of Adriatic Slovenica, securities brokerage, 

individual assets management services of KD Banka and the possibility of voluntary health insurance abroad with the 

Assistance CORIS. The offer of KD Finančna točka will be supplemented with banking services of KD Banka from the 

beginning of 2010 on. 

Since the very beginning, the plans of KD Finančna točka have been focused on the penetration to different Central and 

Eastern European markets, where other companies within the Group were also present. But with regard to the existing global 

economic crisis, the Company has decided to withdraw from Slovakia, Romania and Croatia. The subsidiary company in 

Bulgaria has remained active. 

At the end of 2009, 851 new investors and over EUR 18 million of indirect payments into KD Skladi investment funds, and 

over EUR 32 million of payments (including transfers) , were recorded at the branch offices of KD Finančna točka. Over 

9,000 new insurances were taken out at KD Finančna točka, and 2,000 from the “existing insurance holders” offer. The total 

new written annual premium amounted to over EUR 5,300,000, and a single premium to over EUR 4,700,000. In 2009, the

The Group KD Group’s capital investment division is managed by KD Kapital, Ljubljana. With the establishment of the

KD Kapital's activities include: management of non-listed investments and specific significant listed investments; 

management of management companies and investment funds that succeeded privatisation funds in Bosnia and 

Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska. 

Management of non-listed investments and specific significant listed investments 

In 2009, KD Kapital disposed off and pledged a portion of existing investments and used the proceeds to extend a loan to the 

parent company. The sole source of funding of KD Kapital is the equity capital. The company preserved flat organisation with 

a small team of key staff, reasonable out sourcing and efficient application of management leverages through asset 

management companies in the investment funds. KD Kapital is the direct holder of 32 investments. The ten largest 

investments include investment in: Elektro Ljubljana d. d., Nama d. d., Žito d. d., Kmečki glas d. o.o., Savske elektrarne d. o. 

o., Semenarna Ljubljana d. d., Žičnice Vogel d. d., Ljubljanske mlekarne d. d., Mlekarna Celeia d.o.o., Cimos d.d. and 

Vrtnarstvo Celje d. o. o.

Slovenije d. d. and Seaway Group d. o. o. 

Closed-end investment funds in South Eastern Europe 

At the end of the year, KD Kapital owned two subsidiaries among management companies established in the privatisation 

process in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska:

REAL ESTATE 

The Group KD Group's real estate division is managed by KD Kvart, a young, dynamic and ambitious company. The 

company's core activity is real estate investment engineering. The purpose of the real estate division is to search for 

opportunities for the development of real estate projects, trade in real estate and the management of the Group KD Group's 

real estate. 

Business operation in 2009: 

The Šumi project 

The main project of the company is Šumi, a business and residential complex. During the last year, we focused chiefly on the 

following activities: 

Representing the interests of the KD Kvart (Group) in the settlement of dispute with a complainant regarding the issued 

building permit – the legal validity has been obtained, 

Preparing project documentation (in several alternative solutions) for a change of the building permit for the Šumi project, 

Seeking financial resources to finance the construction of the Šumi project. 

Engineering and project management 

KD Kvart provided technical support and drew up the project documentation in the network expansion or the renovation of 

the KD Finančna točka in Slovenia, where coordination of implementation was realised. We carried out project management 

and supervision in the arrangement of the KD Banka premises, carried out professional advising on the “KD joint sale” 

project, and supervised the AS projects– arrangement of new branch offices. 

Real estate marketing 

In 2009, the following activities in the field of real estate marketing were carried out by KD Kvart, d.o.o.:

AS, facility-Celovška 206, KD Banka, Bežigrad cinema: real estate advising and brokerage; reviewing, arranging and 

obtaining the missing documentation. 

Real estate management 

In accordance with the real estate division development strategy and the cost management synergy, KD Kvart took over the 

management and maintenance of the KD facilities in 2009, which also resulted in the transfer of the KD Group maintenance 

staff to KD Kvart. In relation to this, new leases of KD companies were signed with the AS insurance company as the owner 

of the premises at Celovška 206 and a multi-party agreement on real estate management with KD Kvart. A special 

agreement on real estate management was signed also with the AS insurance company. In the field of operating expenses, 

negotiations on lowering the prices were carried out in cooperation with the KD Group’s Purchase Department, which were 

successfully completed in most cases.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2009 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 

1. General information 

The principal activities of KD Group d. d. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) are quite diversified, namely, from 

insurance to asset management financial services, banking and many others (real estate/immoveable property, publishing, 

etc.). 

KD Group d. d. is a public limited company with its registered office in Ljubljana, Celovška 206, Slovenia. Its shares are listed 

on the OTC market of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. The Company’s ultimate parent entity is KD d. d., with its registered 

office in Ljubljana, Celovška 206, Slovenia. 

These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 22 April 2010 and can be 

obtained from the Company’s registered office in Ljubljana, Celovška 206, Slovenia. 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies 

2.1 Basis for the preparation of financial statements 

The accounting policies used are consistent with those applied in the previous year, except for the newly adopted 

standards and interpretations as presented below. 

IAS 1 Revised Presentation of Financial Statements 

The revised Standard separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity includes only 

details of transactions with owners, with non-owner changes in equity presented as a single line. In addition, the Standard 

introduces the statement of comprehensive income; it presents all items of recognised income and expense, either in one 

single statement, or in two linked statements. TheGroup has elected to present two statements. 

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (Revised) 

The definition of borrowing costs is revised to consolidate the two types of items that are considered components of ‘borrowing 

costs’ into one - the interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method in accordance with IAS 39. The KD 

Group has amended its accounting policy accordingly. This amendment did not have any impact on the Group’s financial 

statements 

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Vesting Conditions and Cancellations 

The Standard has been amended to clarify the definition of vesting conditions and to prescribe the accounting treatment of an 

award that is effectively cancelled because a non-vesting condition is not satisfied. The adoption of this amendment did not 

have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. 

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 

The amended standard requires additional disclosure about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. Fair value 

measurements are to be disclosed by source of inputs using a three level hierarchy for each class of financial instrument. In 

addition, reconciliation between the beginning and ending balance for Level 3 fair value measurements is now required, as 

well significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The amendments also clarify the 

requirements for liquidity risk disclosures. The fair value measurement disclosures and the liquidity risk disclosures are 

impacted by the amendments (Note 5.6.) 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments 

The new Standard requires an entity to adopt “management approach” to reporting on the financial performance of its operating 

segments. As such it replaces the requirement for determining and reporting by business and regional segments. If the 

numbers used by management for internal performance measurement of operating segments are different to the numbers 

reported in the financial statements, this requires a reconciliation of numbers used by management to the financial statements. 

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation 

The Standards have been amended to allow a limited scope exception for puttable financial instruments to be classified as 

equity if they fulfil a number of specified criteria. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the financial 

position or performance of the Group. 

80



IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement 

These amendments to IFRIC 9 require an entity to assess whether an embedded derivative must be separated from a host 

contract when the entity reclassifies a hybrid financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category. This 

assessment is to be made based on circumstances that existed on the later of the date the entity first became a party to the 

contract and the date of any contract amendments that significantly change the cash flows of the contract. IAS 39 now states 

that if an embedded derivative cannot be reliably measured, the entire hybrid instrument must remain classified as at fair 

value through profit or loss. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or performance 

of the Group. 

IFRIC 12 Service Concession Agreement 

This interpretation outlines the approach to account for contractual arrangements arising from entities providing public 

services. It provides that the operator should not account for infrastructure as property, plant and equipment, but rather 

recognize a financial asset and/or intangible asset. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the financial 

position or performance of the Group. 

IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes 

This interpretation requires customer loyalty credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in 

which they are granted. A portion of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to the award credits and deferred. 

This is then recognised as revenue over the period that the award credits are redeemed. The adoption of this amendment did 

not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. 

IFRIC 15 Agreement for the Construction of Real Estate 

The interpretation is to be applied retrospectively. It clarifies when and how revenue and related expenses from the sale of a 

real estate unit should be recognised if an agreement between a developer and a buyer is reached before the construction of 

the real estate is completed. Furthermore, the interpretation provides guidance on how to determine whether an agreement is 

within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or 

performance of the Group. 

IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation 

The interpretation is to be applied prospectively. IFRIC 16 provides guidance on the accounting for a hedge of a net 

investment. As such it provides guidance on identifying the foreign currency risks that qualify for hedge accounting in the 

hedge of a net investment, where within the group the hedging instruments can be held in the hedge of a net investment and 

how an entity should determine the amount of foreign currency gain or loss, relating to both the net investment and the 

hedging instrument, to be recycled on disposal of the net investment. The adoption of this amendment did not have any 

impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. 

81



Improvements to IFRSs 

In May 2008 the Board issued its first omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing 

inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. 

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements 

Assets and liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 

Measurement are not automatically classified as current in the statement of financial position. The Group amended its 

accounting policy accordingly and analysed whether Management’s expectation of the period of realisation of financial assets 

and liabilities differed from the classification of the instrument. This did not result in any re-classification of financial 

instruments between current and non-current in the statement of financial position. Improvement does not have any impact on 

the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors 

Clarifies that only implementation guidance that is an integral part of an IFRS is mandatory when selecting accounting 

policies. Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period 

Clarifies that dividends declared after the end of the reporting period are not obligations. Improvement does not have any 

impact on the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment 

Replaces the term “net selling price” with “fair value less costs to sell” to be consistent with IFRS 5 and IAS 36. The 

Company/Group amended its accounting policy accordingly, which did not result in any change in its financial position. 

Items of property, plant and equipment held for rental that are routinely sold in the ordinary course of business after rental, are 

transferred to inventory when rental ceases and they are held for sale. Proceeds of such sales are subsequently shown as 

revenue. Cash payments on initial recognition of such items and the cash receipts from rents and subsequent sales are all 

shown as cash flows from operating activities. 

IAS 18 Revenue 

Replaces the term ‘direct costs’ with ‘transaction costs’ as defined in IAS 39. 

IAS 19 Employee Benefits 

Curtailments and negative past service costs 

Revises the definition of ‘past service costs’ to include reductions in benefits related to past services (‘negative past service 

costs’) and to exclude reductions in benefits related to future services that arise from plan amendments. Amendments to 

plans that result in a reduction in benefits related to future services are accounted for as a curtailment. 

Plan administration costs 

Revises the definition of ‘return on plan assets’ to exclude plan administration costs if they have already been included in the 

actuarial assumptions used to measure the defined benefit obligation. 

Replacement of term ‘fall due’ 

Revises the definition of ‘short-term’ and ‘other long-term’ employee benefits to focus on the point in time at which the liability 

is due to be settled. 

Guidance on contingent liabilities 

Deletes the reference to the recognition of contingent liabilities to ensure consistency with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent 

Liabilities and Contingent Assets. 

Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance 

Government loans with no interest or a below-market interest rate 

Loans granted with no or low interest rates will not be exempt from the requirement to impute interest. The difference between 

the amount received and the discounted amount is accounted for as a government grant. Improvement does not have any 

impact on the Groups financial statements. 

82



IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs 

The definition of borrowing costs is revised to consolidate the two types of items that are considered components of 

‘borrowing costs’ into one - the interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method calculated in accordance 

with IAS 39. The Group has amended its accounting policy accordingly. Improvement does not have any impact on the 

Groups financial statements. 

IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements 

Measurement of a subsidiary held for sale in separate financial statements 

When a parent entity accounts for a subsidiary at fair value in its separate financial statements, this treatment continues when 

the subsidiary is subsequently classified as held for sale. Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups financial 

statements. 

IAS 28 - Investments in Associates 

Required disclosures when investments in associates are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss 

If an associate is accounted for at fair value through profit or loss, only the requirement of IAS 28 to disclose the nature and 

extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the associate to transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash or 

repayment of loans applies. 

Impairment of investment in an associate 

An investment in an associate is a single asset for the purpose of conducting the impairment test - including any reversal of 

impairment. Therefore, any impairment is not separately allocated to the goodwill included in the investment balance. 


IAS 29 – Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies 

Description of measurement basis in financial statements 

Revises the reference to the exception that assets and liabilities should be measured at historical cost, such that it notes 

property, plant and equipment as being an example, rather than implying that it is a definitive list. Improvement does not have 

any impact on the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures 

Required disclosures when investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss 

If a joint venture is accounted for at fair value, the only disclosure requirements of IAS 31 are those relating to the 

commitments of the venturer and the joint venture, as well as summary financial information about the assets, liabilities, 

income and expenses. Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting 

Clarifies that earnings per share is disclosed in interim financial reports if an entity is within the scope of IAS 33. Improvement 

does not have any impact on the Groups financial statements. 

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets 

Disclosure of estimates used to determine recoverable amount 

When discounted cash flows are used to estimate ‘fair value less costs to sell’, the same disclosures are required as when 

discounted cash flows are used to estimate ‘value in use’. Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups financial 

statements. 

IAS 38 – Intangible Assets 

Unit of production method of amortisation 

The improvement deletes references to there being rarely, if ever, persuasive evidence to support an amortisation method for 

finite life intangible assets that results in a lower amount of accumulated amortisation than under the straight-line method, 

thereby effectively allowing the use of the unit of production method. The Group reassessed the useful lives of intangible 

assets and found the straight-line method still applicable. 

Advertising and promotional activities 

Expenditure on advertising and promotional activities is recognised as an expense when the entity either has the right to 

access the goods or has received the services. Advertising and promotional activities now specifically include mail order 

catalogues. This amendment has no impact on the Groups financial statements. 

83



IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement 

Reclassification of derivatives into or out of the classification of at fair value through profit or loss 

Changes in circumstances relating to derivatives - specifically derivatives designated or de-designated as hedging 

instruments after initial recognition - are not reclassifications. 

When financial assets are reclassified as a result of an insurance company changing its accounting policy in accordance with 

paragraph 45 of IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts, this is a change in circumstance, not a reclassification. 

Designation and documentation of hedges at the segment level 

Removes the reference to a ‘segment’ when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a hedge. 

Applicable effective interest rate on cessation of fair value hedge accounting 

Requires use of the revised effective interest rate (rather than the original effective interest rate) when re-measuring a debt 

instrument on the cessation of fair value hedge accounting. Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups financial 

statements. 

IAS 40 – Investment property 

Property under construction or development for future use as investment property 

Revises the scope (and the scope of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment) to include property that is being constructed or 

developed for future use as an investment property. Where an entity is unable to determine the fair value of an investment 

property under construction, but expects to be able to determine its fair value on completion, the investment under 

construction will be measured at cost until fair value can be determined or construction is complete. 

Revises the conditions for a voluntary change in accounting policy to be consistent with IAS 8. Clarifies that the carrying 

amount of investment property held under lease is the valuation obtained increased by any recognised liability. 


IAS 41 Agriculture 

Additional biological transformations 

Removes the prohibition to take into account cash flows resulting from any additional transformations when estimating fair 

value. Instead, cash flows that are expected to be generated in the ‘most relevant market’ are taken into account. 

Discount rate for fair value calculations 

Removes the reference to the use of a pre-tax discount rate to determine fair value, thereby allowing use of either a pre-tax or 

a post-tax discount rate depending on the valuation methodology used. Improvement does not have any impact on the 

Groups financial statements. 

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations 

Plan to sell the controlling interest in a subsidiary When a subsidiary is held for sale, all of its assets and liabilities will be 

classified as held for sale under IFRS 5, even when the entity retains a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary after the sale. 

This amendment is effective for periods commencing 1 July 2009. Improvement does not have any impact on the Groups 

financial statements. 

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures 

Removes the reference to ‘total interest income’ as a component of finance costs. Improvement does not have any impact on 

the Groups financial statements. 

84



Early application of IFRS and IFRIC's interpretations not yet effective 

Group has not early adopted any standards or interpretations issued and not yet effective. 

The following new and amended IFRIC will be adopted in future periods as required by International Financial 

Reporting Standards: 

IFRIC 17 Distribution of Non-Cash Assets to Owners 

IFRIC 17 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on 1 July 2009. The interpretation provides guidance on how to 

account for non-cash distribution of assets to owners. The interpretation clarifies when an entity should recognize the liability, 

how it should be measured, and how to recognize and measure the related assets, as well as when such assets and liabilities 

should be derecognised in books of accounts. 

IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers 

IFRIC 18 applies to transfers of assets from customers on or after 1 July 2009. 

The interpretation provides guidance on how to account for property, plant and equipment transferred from customers or cash 

received for acquisition or construction of certain assets. This guidance applies only to assets used by an entity to connect the 

customer to a network or to provide the customer with an ongoing access to a supply of goods, services or, in some cases, to 

do both. The entity must identify the service or services rendered and allocate the received payment (the fair value of assets) 

to each identifiable service. Revenue should be recognised on delivery or performance of each individual service by the entity. 

The following new and amended IFRIC’s will be adopted in future periods as required by International Financial 

Reporting Standards and if adopted by the EU. 

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments 

The interpretation becomes effective on 1 July 2010 and provides guidance on how to account for the extinguishment of a 

financial liability by the issue of equity instruments (a debt for equity swaps). The interpretation clarifies how to measure and 

recognise such swaps. 

The following new standards will be adopted in future periods as required by International Financial Reporting 

Standards and the EU. 

IFRS 3R – Business Combinations and IAS 27R – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. 

The revised standards were issued in January 2008 and become effective for financial years beginning on 1 July 2009. IFRS 

3R introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill 

recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. IAS 27R requires that a 

change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary is accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such a change will have 

no impact on goodwill, nor will it give raise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the amended standard changes the accounting for 

losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes introduced by IFRS 3R and IAS 

27R must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions and transactions with minority interests. 

IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Eligible Hedged Items 

These amendments to IAS 39 were issued in August 2008 and become effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 

July 2009. The amendment addresses the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the designation of inflation as 

a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. It clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value 

changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. 

The following new and amended standards will be adopted in future periods as required by International Financial 

Reporting Standards, if endorsed by the EU. 

IFRS 2 – Cash-Settled Share-Based Payment Transactions in the Group 

Applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. 

Amendments to IFRS 2 comprise three basic amendments: revised definition of share-based transactions and agreements, 

the scope of IFRS2, and additional clarification of how to account for cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the 

group. 

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, Classification of the Option to Purchase Shares Denominated in a Foreign 

Currency 

85



Applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010. 

The amended Standard allows an entity issuing puttable financial instruments denominated in foreign currency not to account 

for these rights as derivatives but rather to recognize the effects in the profit or loss. These rights are classified as equity if 

they fulfil a number of specified criteria. 

IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures 

Applicable for periods beginning after 1 January 2011 

Amendments to IAS 24 define in more detail and simplify definition of a related party. Furthermore the amended standard 

reduces the scope of disclosures of transactions of a government owned entity with the government and other government 

owned entities. 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments 

The Standard replaces IAS 39 and is applicable for periods beginning on 1 January 2013. The first part of the standard 

introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets. 

Improvements to IFRSs 

In April 2009 the Board issued its second omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing 

inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. So far these 

amendments have not been endorsed by the EU. 

IFRS 2- Share-Based Payments – specification when to apply IFRS 2 and IFRS 3 

IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale – Disclosure 

IFRS 8- Operating Segments – Disclosure of Segments' assets 

IAS 1 –Presentation of Financial Statements – current/non-current liabilities for swap instruments 

IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows – classifying expenditure for unrecognized assets 

IAS 17 – Leases – classifying land and buildings 

IAS 18 - Revenue – designation whether an entity acts as a principal or an agent 

IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets – the maximum unit to which goodwill may be attributed 

IAS 38 – Intangible Assets – amendments as a result of new IFRS 3 Standard and amendments in relation to determining 

fair value 

IAS 39 – Financial Instruments – assessment of liquidating damages for prepayment of a credit as a derivative, cash flow 

hedges 

IFRIC 9 – Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives – impact of IFRS 3 and IFRIC 9 

IFRIC 16 – Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation– amendment of restriction to an entity allowed to have a 

hedge

2.2.2 Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are those companies for which the Company and its subsidiaries hold, directly or indirectly, more than one half of 

voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated 

from the date on which control of the Company ceases. 

The cost method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by measuring the acquisition value of the 

investment first. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and 

liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. 

87



Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially 

at fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the 

identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair 

value of the Group’s share of net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions as well as income, expenses and dividends 

between Group companies have been eliminated. Subsidiaries’ accounting policies have been changed or adequately 

restated where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. All Members of the Group have the 

same balance sheet date. 

2.2.3 Transactions and minority interests 

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. 

Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill (excess), being the difference between any consideration paid and the 

relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary. Disposals of minority interests result in gains and 

losses for the Group that are recorded in the income statement. Minority interests are disclosed as a separate item of the 

Group’s equity. Net profit or loss is divided into net profit (loss) of the majority owner and net profit (loss) of the minority 

owner. 

2.2.4 Associates 

Associates are all entities over which the Group has a significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a direct or 

indirect shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for under the 

equity method of accounting according to which such investments are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently 

increased or decreased by the Group’s share of the associate’s profit or loss. Dividends received from an associate reduce 

the carrying amount of the investment. 

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement. The Group’s 

share of post-acquisition movements in associates’ reserves is recognised as a movement in the Group’s reserves. 

If the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including unsecured receivables 

to the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless the Group has any legal or other 

liabilities assumed on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its 

share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. 

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in 

the associates. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 

policies adopted by the Group. 

The Group’s investments in the internally managed mutual funds where the Group has a significant influence are treated as 

investments in associated companies and are accounted for using the equity method. The unit-linked insurance funds are 

categorised as financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception as permitted by IAS 28, Investments 

in Associates (see Note 10). 

In the case of a gradual purchase of affiliated companies, the Group recognises goodwill or negative goodwill resulting from 

individual transactions. Negative goodwill is recognised in the profit or loss of the year during which the company became 

associated (the part that refers to purchases made in that year). Negative goodwill in connection with purchases made in the 

previous period however, is recognized directly in the retained earnings.

2.3 Segment reporting 

Business and geographical segments are parts of the Group’s operations that are subject to different rates of profitability, 

opportunities for growth, future prospects and risks. A business segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is 

engaged in providing a group of related products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from 

those of other business segments. A geographical segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in 

providing products or services within a particular economic environment and that is subject to risks and returns that are 

different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. 

2.4 Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary 

economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are 

presented in euros, which is the Group’s presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions and balances are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 

the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from 

the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised 

in the income statement. 

If the transaction is recognised directly in equity, exchange differences from the conversion to the functional currency are also 

recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising in respect of investments of the parent company in the capital of 

subsidiaries abroad are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, and recognised in the income statement only on 

disposal of the investments. 

Foreign currency monetary items are translated on the balance sheet date using the reference rate of ECB or Bank of 

Slovenia exchange rates (for currencies for which the ECB does not publish reference rates) on the last day of the year. Nonmonetary 

items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the mean exchange 

rate of the Bank of Slovenia applicable at the date of transaction, while non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in 

a foreign currency are translated using the reference rate of the ECB applicable at the date when the fair value was 

determined. 

In the context of changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for 

sale, translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying 

amount of the security are accounted for separately.. Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are 

recognised in profit or loss, whereas other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. 

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equities held at fair value through profit or 

loss, are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial 

assets, classified as available for sale, are included in other comprehensive income. 

90



Group companies 

The financial statements of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a 

functional currency different from the presentation currency of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as 

follows: 

- assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the reference rate of ECB or Bank of 

Slovenia exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet; 

- income and expenses for each income statement are translated at the average annual reference rate of ECB or 

Bank of Slovenia exchange rates; 

- all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity (reserves). 

Upon consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are transferred 

to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income 

statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. 

2.5 Property, plant and equipment 

Property, plant and equipment are land, buildings and equipment used by the Group for the performance of its activities. 

After initial recognition, property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated 

impairment losses, if any (cost model). Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the 

items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 

when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can 

be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in 

which they are incurred. If the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is allocated to its individual 

parts. If the parts are significant in relation to the total cost, and have different useful lives, each individual part of the asset is 

accounted for separately. 

An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from 

the asset. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of an item of property or equipment is determined as the difference 

between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and is recognised in other operating income or 

expenses. 

Depreciation 

The Group systematically allocates to profit or loss the cost less residual value (depreciable amount) over the useful life of 

each individual item of property, plant and equipment. The Group uses the straight-line depreciation method. Land is not 

depreciated. 

Depreciation is calculated individually. 

The useful lives are as follows: 

Property, plant and equipment 

Buildings 

Vehicles and machinery 

Furniture, fittings and equipment 

20 to 59 years 

3 to 10 years 

2 to 7 years 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at least once a year on the balance sheet date and restated if 

appropriate. If the asset’s recoverable amount is lower than its book value the asset is written down immediately to its 

recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is the higher of 

an asset's value in use and fair value less costs to sell (see Note 2.1.10). 

91



2.6 Investment property 

Investment property is property (land or a building, or part of a building, or both) held to earn rentals and/or for capital 

appreciation or both, rather than for administrative purposes or sale in the ordinary course of business. Investment property is 

initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, investment property of the Group is carried at its cost less accumulated 

depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any (cost model), i.e. the same as property, plant and equipment. The 

Group reviews once a year the proportion of investment property obtained by other companies in the Group under lease 

agreements; in the consolidated balance sheet, the value of investmet property is recognised within the items of property, 

plant and equipment. 

The recognition and derecognition policies and methods of accounting for depreciation and impairment are defined under 

property, plant and equipment. The costs of day-to-day servicing of the investment property (repairs and maintenance) are 

expensed when incurred. 

2.7 Intangible assets 

After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated 

impairment losses (cost model). An entity assesses whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite. If finite, 

it is amortised over its useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets, 

liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary, and is disclosed under intangible assets with an indefinite useful 

life. 

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets and carried at cost less accumulated impairment 

losses. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Separately recognised goodwill is 

tested annually, and any impairment is recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. 

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Once a year 

the adequacy of the goodwill is reviewed and any impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. The reversal of 

impairment of goodwill is not allowed. Gains and losses on disposal of subsidiaries also include the value of goodwill, which 

refers to the disposed subsidiary. 

Excess of fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities above the cost of their acquisition is 

reassessed, and any excess remaining after the reassessment is recognised as income in the income statement. 

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cashgenerating 

units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. 

Other intangible assets 

The Group’s intangible assets with a finite useful life include computer software and licences. The cost of acquired software 

comprises the costs of acquisition and preparation of the asset for its intended use, and for licences it is the cost of 

acquisition. Throughout the useful life of an individual item of an intangible asset the Group consistently allocates the amount 

of its amortisation to individual accounting periods as amortisation at that time. Amortisation is calculated using the straightline 

method. 

Amortisation is charged individually. The periods of amortisation of intangible assets with a finite useful life are the following: 

Intangible assets: 

Licences 

Computer software 

3 to 5 years 

3 to 5 years 

92



2.8 Financial assets 

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans 

and receivables; held-to-maturity investments; and available-for-sale financial assets. Management determines the 

classification of its investments at initial recognition. 

2.8.1 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or 

loss at inception. 

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or 

repurchasing in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for 

which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss when: 

- doing so significantly reduces measurement inconsistencies that would arise if the related derivatives were treated 

as held for trading and the underlying financial instruments were carried at amortised cost for loans and advances to 

customers or banks and debt securities in issue; and 

- certain investments, such as equity investments, are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance 

with a documented risk management or investment strategy and reported to key management personnel on that 

basis, and are designated at fair value through profit or loss. 

2.8.2 Held-to-maturity financial assets 

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that 

the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other than an 

insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would be reclassified as available for sale. 

2.8.3 Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on an 

active market, other than: (a) those that the entity intends to sell immediately or in the short term, which are classified as held 

for trading, and those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss; (b) those that the 

entity upon initial recognition designates as available for sale; or (c) those for which the holder may not recover substantially 

all of its initial investment, other than for reason of credit deterioration. If the loan is irrecoverable, it is written-off and 

recognised in revaluation expenses - impairment of loans. Loans are considered to be irrecoverable when all the necessary 

procedures of recovery have been performed and the amount of loss can be determined. The subsequent repayments of 

debts written off reduce the impairment loss recognised in the income statement, providing the repayments are received in the 

current year; if not, they increase the revenue. 

2.8.4 Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale investments are those intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, and which may be sold in 

response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices. 

2.8.4.1. Recognition of financial assets 

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity and available for sale are 

recognised at the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. 

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value 

through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and 

transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash 

flows from the financial assets have expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of 

ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished − that is, when the obligation is discharged, 

cancelled or expires. 

93



2.8.4.2. Measurement of financial assets 

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. 

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are 

included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of 

available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly inother comprehensive income, until the financial asset is 

derecognised or impaired. At this time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in profit or 

loss. However, interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign currency gains and losses on monetary 

assets classified as available for sale are recognised in the income statement. Dividends on available-for-sale equity 

instruments are recognised in the income statement when the entity’s right to receive payment is established. 

The fair values of investments listed on active markets are based on current bid prices. If there is no active market for a 

financial asset, the Group establishes fair value using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length 

transactions, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. 

2.9 Impairment of assets 

2.9.1 Impairment of financial assets 

(a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost 

The Group assesses at balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial 

assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only 

if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the 

asset (a "loss event") and that a loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset 

or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is 

impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about the following loss events: 

• significant financial difficulty of the issuer; 

• a breach of contract, such as a default or delayed payement of interest or principal amount; 

• the Group granting to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, a 

concession that the lender would not otherwise consider; 

• it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; 

• the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or 

• observable data indicating that there has been a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a 

group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified 

with the individual financial assets in the Group, including: 

- adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the Group; or 

- national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the Group. 

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually 

significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial 

asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and 

collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment 

loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. 

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments carried at 

amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount 

and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at 

the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an 

allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment 

has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate 

determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s 

fair value using an observable market price. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a 

collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the 

collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable. 

94



For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk 

characteristics (using the valuation model of the Group, which takes into account the type of assets, industry, geographical 

location, type of investment, maturity and other relevant characteristics). 

Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the 

debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. 

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively assessed for impairment are estimated on the basis of the 

contractual cash flows of the assets in the Group and historical loss experience, namely on the basis of similar credit risk 

exposure in the past. Historical loss experience is restated on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of 

current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of 

conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. 

Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of assets should reflect and be directly consistent with changes in 

related observable data from period to period (for example, changes in unemployment rates, property prices, payment status, 

or other factors indicative of changes in the probability of losses in the group and directly consistent with their magnitude). The 

methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group to reduce any 

differences between loss estimates and the actual loss . 

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an 

event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously 

recognised impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the 

income statement. 

When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for the asset. Such assets are written off after all 

the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of 

amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the impairment charge in the income statement. 

(b) Financial assets classified as available for sale 

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of 

financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged 

decline in the fair value below their cost, a maximum period of 9 months from the date when the fair value of equity 

instruments first fell below the purchase price and has remained below the total period of 9 months is taken into account, 

while in determination of a significant decrease in the assessment of fair value, the management takes into account at least 

40% reduction in the fair value. 

If any such evidence exists, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current 

fair value, less any impairment loss on the financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and 

recognised in the income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for 

sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in 

profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. 

2.9.2 Impairment of non-financial assets 

Intangible assets which are not subject to amortisation are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to 

amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 

may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its 

recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash 

inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. In such case, the recoverable amount is 

established for a cash-generating unit i.e. the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely 

independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The criterion for determining the cash-generating units 

is the individual business area of the Group. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its 

fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. 

2.10 Inventories 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost 

method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling 

expenses. 

95



2.11 Offsetting financial instruments 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet only when there is a legally 

enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and 

settle the liability simultaneously. 

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and demand deposits held with banks. The Group reports cash flows from 

operating activities using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss is restated for the effects of transactions of a non-cash 

nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense 

associated with investing or financing cash flows. 

2.13 Share capital and dividend distribution 

Ordinary and preference shares are equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options or to 

the acquisition of a business are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Where the Company or another member of the Group purchases the Company's equity share capital, the consideration paid 

is deducted from total shareholders’ equity. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received 

is included in the shareholders’ equity. 

Dividends on ordinary and preference shares are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are approved by the 

Company's shareholders. Dividends for the year that are declared after the balance sheet date and before the financial 

statements are authorised for issue are disclosed in the subsequent events note (see Note 30). 

2.14 Insurance and investment contracts 

The Group issues contracts that transfer insurance risk or financial risk, or both. Insurance contracts are those contracts that 

transfer significant insurance risk. Such contracts may also transfer financial risk. As a general guideline, the Group defines 

as significant insurance risk the possibility of having to pay benefits on the occurrence of an insured event that are at least 

10% above the benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. 

Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance risk. 

Traditional life insurance contracts and investment contracts include the possibility of discretionary participation in the positive 

result realised through management of assets from said contracts (hereinafter: DPF). The possibility of discretionary 

participation is a contractual right to additional benefits supplementary to guaranteed benefits, namely: 

- benefits which are likely to represent a significant share of the total contract benefits; 

- benefits whose amount or time frame is specified by the insurer; and 

- benefits which are contractually based on: 

• the success of a given category of contracts or certain types of contracts; 

• realised and/or unrealised investment returns on a specific pool of assets held by the issuer; or 

• the profit of the company, cover of assurance or other entity that issues the contract. 

Traditional life insurance contracts with DPF and investment contracts with DPF contain an agreed insurance sum or annuity 

(calculated under the premise of achieving a certain rate of return on accumulated assets) and an additional possibility of the 

insured’s participation in the Group’s realised profits in the segments of life insurance and annuity insurance at the end of the 

financial period and/or with regard to the profitability of assets if higher than the pre-calculated amounts. The basis for 

determining the amounts of discretionary participation of the insured and the percentage vary between individual insurance 

products and are defined in the insurance terms. 

Insurance and financial life insurance contracts are defined as contracts with DPF because the interest rate used at the time 

of preparing the product and calculating the agreed insurance sum or annuity was lower than the expectations at the time with 

regard to commercial interest rates. Additional benefits for the policyholder were expected at the stage of preparing the 

insurance product, which represents a discretionary right to additional benefits.

2.14.1 Insurance contracts 

2.14.1.1 Recognition and measurement 

The Group offers four main categories of insurance contracts, depending on the duration of risk and whether or not the terms 

and conditions are fixed: 

• Property insurance contracts 

• Health insurance contracts 

• Life insurance contracts with DPF 

• Unit-linked life insurance contracts 

2.14.1.2 Property insurance contracts 

This category includes accident insurance, insurance of land vehicles, fire and other damage insurance, liability insurance, 

financial loss insurance, transport insurance, credit and suretyship insurance, and insurance of assistance and costs of 

procedures. This mainly involves short-term insurance contracts, with the exception of credit insurance. 

In accident insurance, in addition to the basic insured risks such as disability and death, policyholders mainly opt for additional 

insurance coverage such as daily accident insurance, daily insurance in the event of hospital treatment due to an accident, 

and daily insurance in the event of prolonged treatment in a medical facility due to an accident. In addition to the 

aforementioned risks, an insurance policy may also be taken out for the event of death in a traffic accident, reimbursement of 

medical expenses, funeral costs in the event of the insured’s death, and reimbursement of accommodation costs for adult 

supervisors in the case of insuring schoolchildren. 

Land motor vehicle insurance covers material damage (partial or total loss of the vehicle’s value) which might result from 

traffic accidents, natural disasters, theft, fire, malicious acts and other insured risks. 

Car insurance falls under the category of mandatory traffic insurance and must be ensured by every owner of a motor vehicle 

prior to beginning to use the vehicle in traffic. This applies to all types of motor vehicles which require registration. The Group 

reimburses the injured party for damages incurred as a result of the use or possession of the vehicle causing the damage. 

The insurance also provides coverage of property (destruction, accidental damage) as well as non-property damage (bodily 

injury, health conditions or death), providing the insured with total property security. The amount of indemnification is limited in 

both cases by the legally defined minimum insurance sum. 

Fire insurance covers real and moveable property from the risk of fire, lightning, explosion, hailstorm, windstorm, crash of the 

insured’s motor vehicle and work machinery, airplane crash and public manifestations and demonstrations. By special 

agreement and subject to an additional premium, it is also possible to include insurance coverage in the event of flooding, 

water spill, landslide, avalanche, spill of fluids or gases, self-combustion of inventories and spill of glowing mass in industrial 

environments. Additionally, insurance coverage can extend to earthquake and torrential flooding. Insurance can be taken out 

on new or actual value. 

In the context of the insurance category "Other indemnity insurance", the following subcategories are of significance 

according to the amount of the premium: home insurance for insuring domestic non-fixed assets, machinery malfunction to 

insure machinery and its parts, burglary insurance to insure moveable property from burglary and theft, building insurance, 

insurance of computers and glass. 

General liability insurance covers damages from indemnification claims enforced by third parties against the insured due to a 

sudden event which resulted in damage to persons or things. The key element of this insurance category is insurance of 

general liability, including employer liability. Other important subcategories include: forwarding, manufacturer, project 

engineering, medical and accounting liability. To a smaller degree, other forms of professional liability insurance are traded: 

professional liability of attorneys, insurance agents, real estate agents, surveyors, members of management boards and 

supervisory boards, liability of auditing firms and other legally prescribed professional liability insurance types. 

The category of financial loss insurance includes insurance for the event of halting the working process due to fire or machine 

breakage, and insurance of public events. The former are taken as additional insurances against fire and machine breakage 

insurance, and events are insured independently. Insurance of halted production processes involves insurance of fixed costs 

which the insured was unable to cover due to the fire or machine breakage. By special agreement, insurance may also 

97



include profits which the policyholder was unable to realise during the halt in production. Insurance of events covers damages 

incurred by the organiser in the event of cancellation of an event due to weather, and by special agreement also if the 

cancellation occurs as a result of natural or administrative force majeure, or due to fire or explosion. 

Transport insurance includes coverage of goods in domestic and international transport, comprehensive insurance of boats 

and airplanes, liability insurance of the owner or authorised user of the boat or airplane, insurance of the transporter’s liability 

in road traffic, insurance of the forwarding agent’s liability and insurance of maritime agents. The quote is also customised to 

fit the needs of the policyholder in the field of liability insurance, or in case of damage to goods under the FIATA bill of lading, 

and we also design and provide more specific insurance policies such as liability coverage for repairers of boats, marina and 

harbour managers, and insurance of risk borne by constructors of boats and shipyards. 

Credit insurance marketed by the Group covers failure to pay contractual obligations for whatever reason and comprises 

insurance of commercial loans, insurance of loans for investment in real property, bank overdraft limits, etc. In the segment of 

suretyship insurance, the policyholder is provided with a guarantee for earnest deposits, good performance of works, repair of 

malfunctions during the warranty period, payment of customs duties, for the event of insolvency of tourist organisations, for 

ensuring the payment of goods and services acquired through use of a credit card, guarantees for TIR carnets, etc. 

Insurance of assistance costs provides the policyholder with emergency assistance either in relation to vehicles in the event of 

malfunction or traffic accident, or in relation to an apartment or house when normal residence is impossible due to the sudden 

emergence of events, or when emergency assistance is needed when travelling abroad. In insuring the costs of procedures, 

the most important feature is the insurance of legal aid, which provides the policyholder with coverage of attorney fees. 

In all of the above contracts, premiums accrue when they become payable by the policyholder. Premiums contain all costs in 

addition to premiums, including the agency fee, except taxes. The part of the premiums from valid insurance contracts which 

refers to unexpired insurance coverage on the balance sheet date is presented as unearned premium reserve and represents 

a liability of the Group. Accrued premiums less changes in unearned premium reserves are recognised as revenue. 

The amounts of damage and appraisal costs are recognised as liabilities at the time the claim was incurred. Claims incurred 

but not fully resolved as at the balance sheet date are recognised as provisions for claims. Liabilities for claims incurred and 

reported as at the balance sheet date are formed on the basis of individual appraisal of claims. Liabilities for claims incurred 

but not reported as at the balance sheet date are assessed through statistical analysis. Liabilities for claims are further 

increased by the estimated costs of resolving such claims. Accrued indemnifications/insurance amounts, including costs of 

appraisal and resolution of cliams, increased by the difference of provisions for claims, are recognised as an expense. 

2.14.1.3 Health insurance contracts 

The Group offers three of the four types of optional health insurance as set forth by the Health Care and Health Insurance Act 

(ZZVZZ), namely supplementary health insurance, extra health insurance and parallel health insurance. 

Supplementary health insurance covers the difference between the health care costs under Art. 23 of ZZVZZ and the share of 

these costs which is covered under mandatory health insurance or part of this difference where the extra payable amount 

relates to the right to medical products included on the list of interchangeable medical products, medical aids and technical 

accessories. 

Extra health insurance covers the costs of health services and related services and supply of medical products and medical 

aids and technical accessories, and the costs involved in cash payouts which are not part of mandatory health insurance and 

are not covered under supplementary or substitute health insurance. 

Parallel health insurance covers the costs of health services and related services, and supply of medical products and 

medical aids and technical accessories which, although they constitute entitlement under mandatory health insurance, are 

pursued by the insured under alternative procedures and under different conditions than those regulated under mandatory 

health insurance. 

The Group concludes long-term insurance contracts on the basis of monthly or annual premiums. 

In addition to the above, the Group also offers travel insurance abroad with assistance from CORIS, which covers the costs of 

medical treatment and emergency transport. These insurance policies are short term in nature. 

The premium is recognised as revenue when the policyholder’s obligation to pay falls due. Premiums contain all costs in 

addition to premiums, including the agency fee, except taxes. The part of the premiums from valid insurance contracts which 

98



refers to unexpired insurance coverage on the balance sheet date is presented as unearned premium reserve. Accrued 

premiums less changes in unearned premium reserves are recognised as revenue. 

The amounts of claims and appraisal costs are recognised as an appraised liability at the time the claim was incurred. Claims 

incurred but not fully resolved as at the balance sheet date are recognised as provisions for claims. Provisions for claims 

incurred and reported as at the balance sheet date are formed on the basis of individual appraisal of claims. Provisions for 

claims incurred but not reported as at the balance sheet date are assessed through statistical analysis. Provisions for claims 

are further increased by the estimated costs of resolving such claims. Accrued indemnifications/insurance amounts, including 

costs of appraisal and resolution of claims, increased by the difference of provisions for claims, are recognised as an 

expense. 

Insurance companies offering supplementary health insurance are included in compensatory schemes under ZZVZZ, which 

offset the differences in the medical costs between different structures of insured with individual insurance companies with 

regard to gender and age. As a compensatory scheme payer, the Group recognises these expenses as damage expenses. 

2.14.1.4 Long-term insurance contracts with included guarantees and DPF 

These contracts include contracts insuring events related to the insured’s life (e.g. death, maturity) over a longer period of 

time. The premium is recognised as revenue when the policyholder’s obligation to pay falls due. Premiums are disclosed 

before deduction of expenses. 

Liabilities stemming from the insurance contract are recorded as expenses as they are incurred. 

Liabilities for anticipated future contract entitlements are recorded at the recognition of premiums. For long-term life insurance 

contracts with included guarantees, the liabilities on the valuation date are formed in the amount of current values of the 

Group’s anticipated future liabilities less the current estimate of future premiums to be paid in on the basis of concluded 

insurance policies (prospective method). The Group uses reduction in insurance liabilities in terms of the Zillmer method. The 

Zillmer method is an actuarial method used in traditional life insurance business for deferral of acquisition costs (reduction in 

mathematical provisions). The Zillmer amount for an individual contract does not exceed 3.5% of the insured sum. Negative 

mathematical provisions are set to 0. 

The assumptions used in the assessment of iabilities also take into account the risk adjustment. 

Liabilities also include liabilities connected with the distribution of a surplus to holders of life insurance policies. In accordance 

with the insurance terms, only a valid contract of mixed insurance and insurance in annuities which has been in place for at 

least 24 months at the end of the financial period is included in the distribution of a surplus. 

The surplus in endowment life insurances is added at the end of each year as an additional premium, and consequently the 

sum insured is increased. An additional insured sum is paid out in the event of death or maturity. For annuity insurance, the 

addition of the surplus during the time of postponement of pension increases the agreed sum of the annuity. The surplus can 

be distributed due to higher yield of investments, under-mortality (over-mortality for annuities) or lower expenses than 

anticipated and provided for. 

In accordance with insurance terms, the distribution of profits attributable to life insurance is within the discretion of the 

management, which passes a resolution each year setting the amount of participation in the surplus. This amount is not 

specified in the internal regulations. 

In the case of insurance contracts with a single payment of the premium, or when the period of premium payments is shorter 

than the period during which the entitlements from the insurance contract are created, the surplus of premiums which have 

fallen due is deferred and recognised as revenue as and when entitlements from the insurance contract fall due, i.e. in 

accordance with anticipated future entitlements. Deferred revenue on the balance sheet date is recognised as a liability. For 

life insurance (with the exception of extra accident insurance policies), this part is recognised under liabilities from insurance 

contracts. For extra accident insurance policies, this part is disclosed as a liability for the unearned premium. The liability is 

formed using the pro-rata method for all insurance contracts which do not involve monthly payments and is calculated for 

each insurance contract individually. 

In the context of the remaining obligations under insurance contracts, the Group recognised liabilities for unexpired risks for 

insurance products of supplementary accident insurance, for which a sufficient amount of the premium was charged to cover 

the risk and cost. 

99



As the Group has no reinsurance to partially cover its liabilities from such contracts, the reinsurance part of liabilities is zero 

as at 31 December 2009. 

Liabilities are calculated on the balance sheet date on the basis of the assumptions applicable at the time of concluding such 

contracts, or in certain cases on the assumptions which the Group adopted during the insurance term. The assumptions 

additionally take into account an adjustment for unanticipated deviations. 

Liabilities from claims incurred and reported and from claims incurred but not reported represent estimated amounts for: 

• claims settled, but not paid out as of the balance sheet date; 

• incurred but not reported claims as of the balance sheet date (IBNR); 

• incurred but not fully reported claims as of the balance sheet date (IBNFR); 

• estimated expenses related to claims handling. 

Liabilities for reported but not yet resolved claims are recognised based on the estimated amount and are regularly reviewed. 

Accident insurance liabilities related to incurred but not reported claims are determined for accident insurance based on the 

statistical method, and for other life insurances based on the trend method. 

The liabilities also include expenses related to claims handling in the lump sum amount of 2.5% of total liabilities. Claims 

liabilities are not discounted. In accordance with the reinsurance contract, the Group discloses the reinsurance part of its 

liabilities attributable to claims as reinsurance assets. 

2.14.1.5 Long-term unit-linked insurance contracts 

Unit-linked insurance contracts cover insurance events referring to the life of the policyholder (in the event of death and 

maturity) for a longer term. A unit-linked insurance contract is a contract where the contractual payments are invested in units 

of an internal or external investment fund selected by the policyholder. In accordance with accounting standards, the financial 

and insurance parts of the contract do not need to be separated, and their accounting does not need to be conducted 

separately. Liabilities arising from those contracts are recognised at fair value to income. 

The premium is recognised as revenue when the policyholder’s obligation to pay falls due. The Group discloses its liabilities to 

its policyholders under liabilities related to unit-linked insurance contracts, in accordance with the relevant individual insurance 

contract and product. 

Liabilities are increased by premiums and decreased by costs. Furthermore, the amount of liabilities takes into account 

changes in the value of fund unit prices and is reduced by the management fees and risk premium. In the event of 

redemption, the liabilities are reduced and the redemption value equals the Group’s liabilities less exit fees charged in the 

event of redemption or upon termination of insurance. 

It is assumed that the risk premiums charged in an individual time period for the expected population mortality are adequate to 

cover the insurance claims from entitlements in the event of death which exceed the value of units on individual personal 

accounts of the policyholders. Additional liabilities in regard of such claims are therefore not disclosed. The risk premium for 

an individual insurance contract is calculated on a monthly basis according to the asset value. 

For an individual long-term unit-linked life insurance contract, the balance of liabilities as at the balance sheet date equals the 

sum of the value of units on the balance sheet date, not evaluated net premiums paid, the revised claims and additional 

liability. The balance also includes the revised claims, as the financial statements are prepared on the basis of the invoiced 

premium. 

The Group defers costs with regards to those relating to paid commission - that is, when the dynamics of the 

payment of fees is different from the dynamics of calculated acquisition costs. Commission costs are deferred only with 

regards to life insurance for which the Zillmer method is not applied in the calculation of liabilities. Nor is the Zillmer method 

applied where the dynamics of the payment of fees is consistent with the dynamics of accrued acquisition costs. 

2.14.1.6 Deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) 

Commissions and other acquisition costs for unit-linked insurance contracts that vary with and are related to securing new 

contracts and renewing existing contracts are deferred and charged to the income statement in proportion to and over the 

100



period when premium allocations to the unit-linked insurance liability are reduced for upfront charges. For property insurance 

contracts a proportional share of acquisition costs is deducted from the unearned premium reserves. For life insurance 

contracts with DPF and investment contracts with DPF, acquisition costs are deducted from mathematical provisions. 

. 

2.14.1.7 Liability adequacy test 

On each balance sheet date, contract liability adequacy tests are carried out. The Group assesses at each reporting date 

whether its recognised insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance 

contracts, appraisal costs and administration costs, as well as financial income from the investments to cover these liabilities. 

If this estimate shows that the carrying amount of insurance liabilities is not appropriate in terms of estimated future cash 

flows, the entire amount of the deficit is recognised in the profit or loss. 

The liability adequacy test is done on the basis of recognised gross liabilities. The relevant insurance assets are considered 

separately. In carrying out the liability adequacy test, the insurance considers only liabilities which stem from contracts listed 

under the insurance contract category according to the standard. These liabilities include liabilities for unearned premiums, 

liabilities from insurance contracts, deferred agency fee costs, claims liabilities and other liabilities. 

If the liability adequacy test indicates inadequate liabilities, the calculation of liabilities from such insurance contracts in future 

periods is done on the basis of the assumption of the test which showed inadequate disclosure of liabilities. 

2.14.1.8 Reinsurance contracts 

Contracts entered into by the Group with reinsurers under which the Group is compensated for losses on one or more 

contracts issued by the Group and that meet the classification requirements for insurance contracts are classified as 

reinsurance contracts held. 

The benefits to which the Group is entitled under its reinsurance contracts held are recognised as reinsurance assets. These 

assets consist of short-term balances due from reinsurers, as well as long-term receivables that are dependent on the 

expected claims and benefits arising under the related reinsured insurance contracts. Amounts recoverable from or due to 

reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the reinsured insurance contracts and in accordance 

with the terms of each reinsurance contract. Reinsurance liabilities are primarily premiums payable for reinsurance contracts 

and are recognised as an expense when due. 

The Group assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment on a regular basis. If there is objective evidence that the 

reinsurance asset is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount and 

recognises the impairment loss in the income statement. 

2.14.1.9 Receivables and payables related to insurance contracts 

Receivables and payables are recognised when due. These include amounts due to and from agents, brokers and insurance 

contract holders. If there is objective evidence that the insurance receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying 

amount of the insurance receivable accordingly and recognises that impairment loss in the income statement. 

2.14.1.10 Salvage and subrogation reimbursements 

Some insurance contracts permit the Group to sell (usually damaged) property acquired in settling a claim (i.e. salvage). The 

Group may also have the right to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs (i.e. subrogation). 

Estimates of salvage recoveries are included as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims, and 

salvage property is recognised in other assets when the liability is settled. The allowance is the amount that can reasonably 

be recovered from the disposal of the property. 

Subrogation reimbursements are also considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims and 

are recognised in other assets when the liability is settled. The allowance is the assessment of the amount that can be 

recovered from action against the liable third party. 

101



2.14.2 Investment contracts 

Investment contracts are contracts which involve financial risk without significant insurance risk. 

All of the Group’s investment contracts include the option of discretionary participation, giving policyholders the right to 

participate in the generated surplus over the guaranteed returns through management of assets which relate to such 

investment contracts. The attribution of the generated surplus is the discretionary right of the management. 

In this category the Group includes voluntary supplementary pension insurance under the PN-A01 pension plan, and annuity 

contracts with specific periods of pay-ins and payouts with a fixed (technical) interest rate. 

Voluntary supplementary pension insurance is based on the Pension and Disability Insurance Act. It provides extra pension 

savings and ensures receiving pension benefits until death. The pension basis is a collective pension plan which a company 

subscribing to the collective insurance contract, wishing to take care of its employees, may join with a minimum of 51% of all 

employees. Through this type of insurance, employees of the company subscribing to the insurance contract invest in assets 

held in special personal pension accounts. The paid-in assets accrue interest with a guaranteed return which is at least 60% 

of the interest rate on long-term government securities with a maturity of more than one year. Based on accumulated assets, 

an additional pension will be calculated when the insured retires. Each policy is entitled to the distribution of a surplus from 

higher returns than the guaranteed return, which is generated through the long-term business fund. The profit generated is 

distributed among the insured in the form of regular and final bonuses, as per the insurance conditions. The amount of the 

regular bonus is set each year by the management depending on the market value of assets held in the long-term business 

fund. 

Limited-time annuity insurance is a new form of savings which represents a source of income for a specific period, and the 

insured chooses the term of savings and the term of annuity payouts. The Group guarantees the payout of agreed annuities, 

which can be increased during the term of the contract at the expense of the insured’s participation in the profits realised 

within the insurance category. 

Premiums attributable to investment contracts with DPF are recognised in the same way as with life insurance contracts with 

DPF. 

At the end of the business year, the Group determines the DPF distribution based on the realised result/returns on the pool of 

assets relating to the investment contracts (DPF portion). This amount is added to the liabilities from investment contracts with 

DPF, and no unallocated DPF portion remains as of the end of the year. 

Obligations and revenue from financial contracts are calculated and recognised in the accounts in the same way as with the 

mixed life insurance component of the DPF. 

Where the resulting liability is lower than the sum of the amortised cost of the guaranteed element of the contract and the 

intrinsic value of the surrender option embedded in the contract, it is restated and any shortfall is recognised immediately in 

the income statement. 

Unearned premium and claim reserves are calculated in the same manner as in the case of life insurance contracts with DPF. 

Mathematical reserves for annuities contracts for a limited time are calculated based on the prospective net Zillmer method. 

Its value is calculated as the current value of future payments of agreed annuities, including payment commissions, restated 

for the current value of future technical premiums that will be paid based on those annuity contracts. 

Mathemtical reserves from long-term pension insurance contracts are computed as the mathematical product of the value per 

unit of the long-term business fund and the number of units held on the reporting date. The calculation is made for each 

policy. This covers the liability to the policyholder. In addition, the Group forms an additional liability for surplus returns over 

the guaranteed returns (for attribution of regular and final bonuses). 

102



2.15 Borrowings 

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at 

amortised cost; any difference between the amount at initial recognition and the redemption value is recognised in the income 

statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for 

at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. 

If the Group purchases its own debt, it is removed from the balance sheet and the difference between the carrying amount of 

the liability and the consideration paid is included in investment income. 

2.16 Derivative financial instruments and accounting point of hedging 

Derivative financial instruments including futures and forwards, swaps and options are initially recognised at fair value on the 

balance sheet date. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices on active markets, including recent market 

transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing models, as appropriate. All 

derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. 

The method of recognising the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging 

instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group uses derivative financial instruments for hedging future 

cash flows which are attributable to assets, liabilities and future business. 

From an accounting point of view, hedging is used only under specific conditions. 

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as 

well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents 

its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging 

transactions are expected to be and have been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged 

items. The Group assesses the success of hedging at the time of transaction and for the duration of hedging. 

Cash flow hedges 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is 

recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in 

the income statement within net fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 

Amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income are recycled into the income statement in the periods in which 

the hedged item affects profit or loss. 

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any 

cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in other comprehensive income and is recognised when the 

forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. However, when a forecast transaction is no longer 

expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to 

the income statement. 

2.17 Trade payables 

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 

rate method. 

2.18 Income tax 

2.18.1 Current tax 

The Group charges taxes in accordance with the provisions of the legislation applicable in individual countries in which the 

Group’s subsidiaries are located. In Slovenia, the corporate income tax rate for the year 2009 is 21%. In the year 2010 the tax 

rate will be 20%. 

103



2.18.2 Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax 

bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the initial 

recognition exemption, deferred taxes are not recorded for temporary differences on initial recognition of an asset or a liability in 

a transaction other than a business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither accounting nor taxable 

profit. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 

balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is 

settled. 

Deferred tax assets are the amounts of taxable profits, which will be available in future periods for deductible temporary 

differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits carried forward to the next period. Deferred tax liabilities are the 

amounts of tax to be paid in future periods depending on the taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax liabilities are 

recognised in full. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are offset if they relate to tax expense in the same 

tax authority and the companies of the Group have legally enforceable right to offset the assessed tax assets and tax 

liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the 

temporary differences can be utilised. 

The effects of recognising deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised as income or expense in the Group’s income 

statement unless the tax arises from a transaction that has been recognised directly other comprehensive incomeor a 

business combination. 

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the 

Group controls the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be 

reversd in the foreseeable future. 

2.19 Provisions for jubilees and post-employment benefits 

The Group provides benefits to employees as a legal obligation – jubilees and retirement benefit bonuses. According to 

Slovenian legislation, employees retire after 40 years of working life, at which time, if fulfilling certain conditions, they are 

entitled to benefits paid in a lump sum t. Employees are also entitled to jubilees for every 10 years of employment with the 

Group. 

The Group recognises all actuarial gains and losses immediately in the income statement. 

The future liabilities are calculated by an independent certified actuary. Key assumptions included in the calculation of 

provisions for jubilees and post-employment benefits are: 

- discount rate of 4.5%, 

- expected wage growth in the company and the expected wage growth due to promotions – 4.5%, 

- the estimated fluctuation rate according to historical data – the average rate of 4%. 

2.20 Revenue recognition 

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services, in the 

ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after 

elimination of sales within the Group. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, 

it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s 

activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies 

relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type 

of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. 

Revenues are recognised as follows: 

(a) Sales of goods 

Sales of goods are recognised when a Group entity has delivered products to the customer and the customer has accepted 

the products. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to 

the Group entity and the Group entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. 

104



(b) Sales of services 

Sales of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of 

the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be 

provided. 

(c) Interest income and expenses 

Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments, except for those classified as held for trading or 

designated at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised within interest income and interest expense in the income 

statement using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of 

allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly 

discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a 

shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, 

the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment 

options) but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between 

parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or 

discounts. 

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest 

income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the 

impairment loss. 

(d) Dividend income 

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. 

(e) Premium income 

Income from insurance premiums includes net income from insurance premiums, calculated on the basis of gross written 

premiums accrued in the accounting period, less the share of gross written premiums ceded to the reinsurer and restated for 

changes in net unearned premium reserves. 

Income from insurance contracts is recognised as premium income in the following way: 

- Income arising from a single premium is recognised when the insurance policy is incepted and bills charged; 

- Income arising from long-term insurance contracts in which the premium is paid in instalments (monthly, quarterly, 

annually) is recognised upon the recognition of premium receivables. 

The premium charged by the Group covers transaction costs (the fees of concluding the contract, management and 

collection) and represents income in the period of settlement. If a period of more than one year is concerned, a portion of the 

premium is deferred as a liability and transferred to income over the life of the contract. 

3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

3.1 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions in applying accounting policies 

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next 

financial year. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, 

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

3.1.1 Estimated impairment of goodwill 

The Group annually tests goodwill for potential impairment in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.7. The 

recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations 

require the use of estimates. 

3.1.2 Ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts 

The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is the Group’s most critical 

accounting estimate. There are several sources of uncertainty that need to be considered in the estimate of the liability that 

105



the Group will ultimately pay for such claims. At each balance sheet date, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the 

adequacy of liabilities. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows and claims handling 

and administration expenses, as well as investment income from the assets backing such liabilities, are used. Any deficiency 

is charged to profit or loss by establishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests. 

The Group performs the adequacy test of the obligations from insurance contracts on the balance sheet day.Through this test 

the Group revisits the adequacy of the insurance liabilities recognised. The test of provisions considers all the liabilities arising 

form insurance contracts and deferred acquisition costs. In the test the current estimates of the future cash flows form 

insurance contracts are applied. 

If the liability adequacy test shows deficit of the provisions recognised, the deficit is recognised as and increase of provision 

through the income statement. 

The liability adequacy test is performed separately for life and non-life insurances. 

Liability adequacy test for life insurance 

The test is carried out for each contract which was valid on the balance sheet date, and the outcome is summarised and 

presented by insurance contract category. 

Expected cash flows are generated for: 

• premiums (life insurance contracts and extra accident insurance); 

• payout of damages (death, maturity, annuities, redemptions, accident loss); 

• costs (remaining commission fees, administrative fees, costs of claims); 

• revenue from investments. 

For individual future cash flows, the following items are taken into consideration: 

• provisions of individual insurance policies (amount of the premium, premium payment dynamics, amount of the 

insured sum in the event of death and maturity, amount of annuities); 

• technical bases of the relevant products (mortality tables, interest rate, initial fee costs, other administrative costs); 

• assumptions (the realised mortality rates for life insurance policies, mortality in annuity insurances, rates of 

redemption, future profitability, level of realised administrative costs, future inflation, damage outcome from accident 

insurance policies, profitability, etc.). Assumptions are individually explained. 

The cash flows for individual years (development up to 80 years) are discounted on the balance sheet date. 

Economic and operative assumptions 

1. Risk discount rate 

To calculate the present value of expected cash flows, the discount rate, shown by the curve of AAA-rated euro area central 

government bonds as at 4 January 2010 are taken into account. 

2. The rate of return on investments 

While peforming the LAT test for life and annuity insurance, the return on investment ranging from 4 to 5% for the first ten 

years and 5% for subsequent years was taken into account. The same dynamics of the return on investments, increased by 

1% was considered for insurance products with investment risk. 

3. Inflation 

The expected inflation rates (2%) are considered in the estimate of expected costs. 

4. Costs 

Costs of operations (administration, costs of payout of damages, etc.) are calculated on the basis of estimates contained in 

the technical bases of the product, multiplied by a factor which represents the estimate of expected realised costs compared 

to those calculated into the products, under the assumption that one half of the costs is not subject to inflation. Other costs are 

increased at the inflation rates. 

5. Mortality 

35% mortality tables werer considered for life insurance which was used as technical base of product (based on the Group´s 

10 years of experience). Based on this assumption, a small number of deaths and a small amount of payments in case of 

death is assumed compared with mortality based on technical grounds. 

106



For annuities contracts, the Group used Austrian annuity tables from 1996 (this is a cautious estimation, which provides a 

lower mortality and longer life expectancy, which is also observed in the Slovenian population). 

6. Redemption rates 

Based on an analysis of redemptions of life insurance policies and investment risk insurance policies, the following rates of 

redemption are used: 

Year after 

Rate of buy-out 

agreement Life insurance 

Unitlinked 

0 17.00% 10.00% 

1 6.00% 5.00% 

≥2 3.00% 3.00% 

7. Claims from extra accident insurance contracts 

Based on historical data, the future claims from additional accident insurance is estimated at 40% of the additional accident 

insurance premium. 

Result of the adequacy test for 2008 

The LAT test has shown that the provisions formed as at 31 December 2008 are adequate for all long-term business funds. 

The liabilities calculated under the LAT test based on the best estimate as at 31 December 2008 are lower than the liabilities 

calculated by the Company using the aforementioned methodology and recognised in its financial statements. 


With regard to life insurance with guarantee and DPF, liabilities do not increase enough at any upper sensitivity to lead to 

overstated liabilities as at 31 December 2009. 

For unit-linked life insurance, the adequacy test has shown that future liabilities will be covered from overstated liabilities and 

future costs and premiums. This means that supplementary liabilities beside overstated liabilities are not disclosed. The same 

applies to all sensitivity tests which were carried out. 

Property and health insurance 

The Group has tested the adequacy of the provisioning for unearned premiums for property and health insurance contracts. 

The provisions for losses and provisions for bonuses, discounts and cancellations are calculated on the basis of the estimates 

made at the time of the calculation; hence it is deemed that the provisions formed for these liabilities have been made in the 

adequate amount. 

The liability adequacy test is therefore limited to the unexpired portion of active (in-force) contracts. It is performed by 

examining the difference between the expected amount of claims for losses and the expenses attributable to the unexpired 

portion of policies still in force at the balance sheet date and the amount of provisions formed for unearned premiums. 

For those classes of insurance where an inadequate amount of unearned premium provisions in relation to the expected loss 

event is determined, the Group forms additional provisions for unexpired risk and recognises them in the financial statements 

as liabilities in the scope of other insurance technical provisions. 

Result of the adequacy test for 2009 

LAT test results have not shown any deficit in the amount of the obligations created under the unearned premiums, provisions 

for claims, reserves and provisions for bonuses and discounts for property and health insurance as at 31 December 2009. 

107



3.1.3 Estimate of future benefit payments and premiums arising from long-term insurance contracts 

The determination of the liabilities under long-term insurance contracts is dependent on estimates made by the Group. 

Estimates are made as to the expected number of deaths for each of the years in which the Group is exposed to risk. The 

Group bases these estimates on standard industry and national mortality tables that reflect recent historical mortality 

experience, restated where appropriate to reflect the Group’s own experience. For contracts that insure the risk of longevity, 

appropriate but not excessively prudent allowance is made for expected mortality improvements. The estimated number of 

deaths determines the value of the benefit payments and the value of the valuation premiums. The main source of uncertainty 

is that epidemics such as AIDS, SARS and wide-ranging lifestyle changes, such as in diet, smoking and exercise habits, 

could result in future mortality being significantly worse than in the past for the age groups in which the Group has significant 

exposure to mortality risk. However, continuing improvements in medical care and social conditions could result in 

improvements in longevity in excess of those allowed for in the estimates used to determine the liability for contracts where 

the Group is exposed to longevity risk. 

For long-term insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, estimates are made in two stages. Estimates of future 

deaths, voluntary terminations, investment returns and administration expenses are made at the inception of the contract and 

form the assumptions used for calculating the liabilities during the life of the contract. A margin for risk and uncertainty is 

added to these assumptions. These assumptions are "locked in" for the duration of the contract. New estimates are made 

each subsequent year in order to determine whether the previous liabilities are adequate in light of these latest estimates. If 

the liabilities are considered adequate, the assumptions are not altered. If they are not adequate, the assumptions are altered 

("unlocked") to reflect the best estimate assumptions. A key feature of the adequacy testing for these contracts is that the 

effects of changes in the assumptions on the measurement of the liabilities and related assets are not symmetrical. Any 

improvements in estimates have no impact on the value of the liabilities and related assets until the liabilities are 

derecognised, while significant enough deterioration in estimates is immediately recognised to make the liabilities adequate. 

3.1.4 Impairment of available-for-sale equity financial assets 

The Group determines that available-for-sale equity financial assets are impaired when there has been a significant or 

prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgement. In 

making this judgement the Group evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price, the financial health of the 

investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flows. Impairment may 

be appropriate when there is evidence of deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, 

changes in technology, and financing and operational cash flows. 

3.1.5 Impairment losses on loans and receivables 

In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the Group makes judgments as to 

whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows. This 

evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers 

in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group. Management uses 

estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment 

similar to that in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating 

both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and 

actual loss experience. 

3.1.6 Held-to-maturity investments 

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 when classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable 

payments and fixed maturity as held to maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, 

the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group fails to keep these investments 

to maturity other than for specific circumstances – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity – it will be 

required to reclassify the entire class as available for sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value and not 

at amortised cost. 

3.1.7 Employee benefits 

The employee benefits obligations (loyalty bonuses and retirement benefit bonuses) are measured using actuarial valuations; 

therefore, some actuarial estimates and assumptions are needed, such as rates of employee turnover, early retirement, 

discount rate and future salary levels. 

108



3.1.8 Income taxes 

The Group is subject to income taxes in different jurisdictions. Some estimates are required in determining the amount of 

provisions for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is 

uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Due to changes in the future income tax rate, some estimates regarding the 

disposal of the available-for-sale portfolio have to be made by the management when calculating the deferred tax liability. 

Additionally, the management’s best estimates of future taxable profits are used for calculating the deferred tax assets 

regarding carry-forward tax losses. 

4. Comparatives 

During the review of the insurance company operating within the Group, which was performed by the Insurance Supervision 

Agency, it was found that some types of life insurance contracts and investment contracts were not kept in accordance with 

the policy’s terms and conditions regarding the participation of policyholders in the profits. The insurance company of the 

Group complied with the order and changed the methodology used for attributing profits, and restated all the amounts under 

the new methodology. Additional mathematical provisions were made for the attribution of profits for groups of contracts 

where the calculations under the new methodology were higher. The amount of these provisions as at 1 January 2009 stood 

at 1,824,016 euros. In 2009, the insurance company for the first time formed provisions resulting from guaranteed premium 

factors used to calculate the supplementary retirement pension. As at 1 January 2009, mathematical provisions for the 

entitlement total 261,323 euros. 

The insurance company made additional provisions for investment contracts relating to attributed profits for groups of 

contracts where the calculations under the new methodology were higher. The amount of these provisions as at 1 January 

2009 amounted to 64,144 euros. 

In its financial statements, the KD Group eliminated the error by restating each individual category in the 2008 financial 

statements. Adjustments to the 2008 financial statements refer entirely to the reporting of life insurance segment, namely 

standard life insurances and investment insurances. In the process of eliminating the error, the amount of insurance technical 

provisions (mathematical provisions) and investment contracts for 2008 increased. The increase in mathematical provisions 

consequently resulted in reduction of retained earnings of 824,710 euros on the liabilities side, and increase of deferred tax 

assets of 219,227 euros on the assets side. The increase in investment contracts resulted in reduction of retained earnings of 

873,381 euros and increase in deferred tax assets of 232,165 euros. 

Given that the life insurance business at the end of 2008 showed a loss, this adjustment had no impact on the 2008 income 

statement, and the audited income statement for 2008 was not restated. However, the adjustment of the investment contracts 

for the past years did affect the 2008 income statement.

5. Risk management 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of risks: strategic risks, insurance and financial risks, operating risks and general 

business risks. Since the insurance represents a substantial part of the Group's activities, the management of insurance 

risks is crucial for the Group. 

Strategic risks refer to the Group’s long-term development as much as to each of its subsidiaries. The management of the 

Group manages these risks, defining its vision and strategy and monitoring their appropriateness on a regular basis. 

According to the diversity of the Group’s activities, appropriate long-term investment decisions are the key factor when 

managing strategic risks. The corporate governance of the Group helps it to pursue long-term business development and 

growth to achieve the required rate of return. 

The Group is exposed to financial risks through its financial assets and liabilities, reinsurance receivables and insurance 

liabilities. The principal financial risk is the possibility that the inflows from financial investments will not be sufficient to cover 

the outflows arising from insurance contracts. The most significant components of this risk are the risk of changes in interest 

rates and the prices of securities, currency risk and credit risk. 

The primary purpose of the financial risk management process is to maintain the stability of operations and reduce the 

exposure to individual risks to an acceptable level. Because of its highly diversified activities, the Group is mainly faced with 

insurance and financial risks. 

Risk management is a continuous cyclical process, which can be divided into three stages. In the first stage, potential risks 

are identified. In the second stage, individual risks are modelled and measured. These models serve as a basis for measuring 

the level of exposure of individual companies in the Group and the Group itself to individual risks. On the basis of identification 

and measurement of risks in the Group, the management adopts adequate measures for reducing or controlling these risks 

(stage three). Measures used by the management vary and depend on the level of exposure and the type of risk. 

The management of the Group manages risks present in individual companies in the Group and at the level of the entire 

Group. It thereby sets guidelines concerning the balance between the risks, returns and capital, performs periodic controls, 

and sets guidelines for implementation of business policies and strategy for individual companies in the Group. 

Individual companies in the Group have established a system of reporting for the needs of the management that enables 

regular monitoring of risks to which they are exposed. The insurance companies in the Group have set up investment and 

liquidity committees, which take care of the ALM function. 

110



Types of risks 

5.1 Insurance risk 

Risk related to the insurance policy represents the possibility that the event insured against actually occurs and uncertainty in 

relation to the amount of the sum insured or indemnity. It is the nature of insurance contracts that insurance risks are 

incidental and unpredictable; however, the main risk for the insurer is the possibility that claims and benefits exceed the 

amount of insurance liabilities (technical provisions) created for a portfolio of insurance contracts using statistical methods. 

This may happen because of a change in the frequency of claims or their amount, which can be higher than expected. 

Insured events are incidental, which means that their number and amount vary in individual years and in relation to 

statistically established averages. Experience shows that the larger the portfolio of similar insurance contracts, the smaller the 

relative variability of the expected outcome will be. In addition, a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected by a 

change in any subset of the portfolio. 

Insurance companies in the Group have developed their own policy of concluding insurance contracts with the aim of 

spreading the assumed risks and achieve, within each individual category, a sufficient amount of risk population to reduce the 

variability of expected results. The principal means for reducing insurance risks is reinsurance, i.e. the transfer of risks that 

exceed a predetermined amount to a reinsurance company. 

When developing a new insurance product, it is very important that the parameters defining the insurance premium are 

assessed adequately. The risk accepted by the Group at the inception of an insurance contract is reflected in the price, i.e. 

the insurance premium. If the parameters defining the insurance premium are not assessed adequately when developing a 

new insurance product, this is a risk for the Group to which it is exposed during the entire life cycle of the insurance product. 

In the context of insurance risk, the Group is exposed to underwriting process risk, product design risk, pricing risk, economic 

environment risk, policyholder behaviour risk, reserve risk and claims risk. Insurance risks are also managed with reinsurance 

protection. 

5.1.1 Description of risks 

Insurance activities are based on managing insurance risks. Insurance risks apply to risks accepted by the insurer from the 

policyholder. Insurance risks are random and unpredictable. At the signing of an insurance contract, the insurer accepts the 

risk to repay the insured the agreed contractual amount if an insured event occurs or if the contract expires, whereas when 

the insured event will occur is uncertain. 

Insurance cases are random; their number and amounts vary from year to year and deviate from statistical averages. The 

Group is therefore engaged in diversifying and increasing its portfolio. This allows it to disperse the risk and lower the 

variability of expected events. An important instrument to lower insurance risks is reinsurance, i.e. the transfer of risks which 

exceed a predetermined amount to a reinsurer. The Group further manages insurance risks through the effective performance 

of internal controls, internal audits and forming appropriate insurance technical provisions to cover potential future liabilities 

stemming from existing insurance contracts. 

In the management’s opinion, the important risks faced by the Group in its operations are the following: 

- Underwriting process risk, the danger of misevaluation of accepted risk. This risk involves mistaken decisions to 

underwrite a risk regardless of the risk exposure of the insured, insurance on the basis of inaccurate and incomplete 

information on the insured, incorrect information about the amount of maximum potential claims, or potential inappropriate 

acquisition of reinsurance coverage by the reinsurer. 

The Group manages the aforementioned risk through providing guidelines for accepting insurance risks, using software for 

accepting insurance risks, and strict criteria and procedures for accepting insurance risks, especially for large insured sums 

and coverage. Also, the Group has concluded an obligatory reinsurance contract with its reinsurer, by which the reinsured 

risks over a certain contractually agreed insured sum are automatically reinsured. The Group also monitors claims outcome 

and analyses any worsening thereof. 

- The risk of inadequate assessment of liabilities stemming from insurance contracts (reserve risk) is the risk that these 

reserves will not be adequate to cover the liabilities stemming from accepted risks, or the risk that future claims payments will 

exceed the evaluated amount of liabilities. 

111



The Group regularly checks the adequacy of liability calculations and the adequacy of assumptions used in the calculation of 

higher liabilities stemming from insurance contracts. The Group also carries out liability adequacy tests. If the liability 

adequacy test indicates that the liabilities are understated, they are increased. 

In the case of property insurance, an accurate estimate of the obligations of the reported and unreported claims is the most 

important factor, i.e. the assessment of liabilities assumed for any claims that are already registered, and obligations under 

insurance contracts for incurred but not reported claims (IBNR). Inaccurately estimated liabilities for reported claims also 

affect the calculation of IBNR. Contingencies may occur in the Group for which the obligations for claims were not designed 

(eg, in the past, asbestosis), or liability insurances, where there is a gap of a number of years between the conclusion of the 

insurance contract and the time when the claim is reported. 

For insurance contracts with DPF component and unit-linked insurance contracts, assumptions on future mortality, interest 

rates, contract terminations and administrative costs are applied. These assumptions are used to determine liabilities 

stemming from the insurance contract. The assumptions also include a risk adjustment. 

For estimations on the mortality rate, mortality tables are used, as in the past the portfolio of insurance contracts has been too 

small for it to be able to rely on its own experience. Thus, for insurances for the event of death and insurances for the event of 

death and maturity, the Group uses Slovenian mortality tables made in 1990–1992, and for annuity insurance it uses Austrian 

annuity tables from the year 1996. In comparison with 2008, the Group has not changed its assumptions regarding population 

mortality. In the context of managing insurance risk, actuarial services are constantly checking the applied assumptions 

against the actual damage result, by individual insurance product. 

It is the management’s assessment that Slovenian mortality tables adequately reflect expectations with regard to the maturity 

and mortality rate of the Slovenian population. 

In its long-term insurance products, the Group uses interest rates spanning from 2.75% (new insurance products) to 4% (older 

products). The adequacy of returns on investments of insured liabilities in the future is checked on a regular basis. 

On each reporting date the assumptions are reset to reflect current assumptions and are used to check whether the liabilities 

have been adequately evaluated. If the liabilities are inadequate, the assumptions are changed to reflect the current state. 

Current assumptions do not contain a risk adjustment. 

The assumption on mortality is determined using the statistical mortality rate and analyses of actual mortality of the insurance 

portfolio in the past and current year. Also, in cases of disability, statistical tables and the insurer’s own experience are used. 

The Group also regularly analyses the duration of insurance contracts and monitors the movements of such durations over 

the period by main product and, as necessary, by sales channel if more significant deviations occur. These analyses are used 

when estimating the duration of insurance contracts with a view to providing the best possible assessment of the insured’s 

behaviour. 

The return on investment affects the amount of future payouts from insurance contracts. When determining returns, the Group 

considers government bonds as risk-free securities, and for other securities risk adjustments are applied. Considering this and 

considering the structure of investments for covering liabilities, the expected returns of the investment portfolio are calculated. 

Future costs are determined on the basis of current costs. Additionally, the assumption of future inflation is also used, which is 

based on the EU’s long-term projections for the euro currency. 

- Pricing risk applies to the risk that the amount of the insurance premium is not adequate for covering the insurance 

liabilities stemming from claims and operating costs. The reasons can vary, e.g. unsuitable statistical data, inadequate 

assessment of claims events, low premium due to competition, unsuitable premium for new products, unsuitable mortality, 

annuity, morbidity tables, inadequate amount of expenses calculated into the price of the product. Furthermore, we can speak 

about the adequacy of the probability tables used, which further expose the Group to risks of natural death, longevity, critical 

illness and accident. 

Already in the new product planning stage, the Group diligently checks and acquires the necessary statistics to confirm the 

suitability of the assumptions used. In the case of high-risk products such as additional coverage for critical illness, the 

Group’s general terms and conditions allow the possibility of subsequent changes in the amount of the insurance premium if 

new statistics or claims events indicate that the premium is too low. Similarly, the Group diligently monitors the amount of 

actual costs and, after analysing these costs, calculates the amount of costs to include in the price of individual products, 

112



which depends on the type of product, special costs involved in the product, amount of commission to insurance agents and 

other potential costs. The Group also measures and monitors the profitability of individual products. 

- Product design risk is the risk that, when calculating the insurance premium, the Group will be exposed to the danger of 

non-consideration of the potential for the occurrence of new diseases and accidents which could significantly affect the 

movement of future claims cases. This risk is important for life insurance. 

As previously mentioned in under-pricing risk, in certain higher-risk insurance products the Group does not guarantee the 

amount of the insurance premium during the insurance coverage period. In addition to that, certain increases are used in the 

mortality and morbidity tables. The Group also follows mortality and morbidity trends. Certain modern illnesses are excluded 

from the insurance terms and conditions. In this context the Group has established cooperation with a reinsurer, which 

transfers certain knowledge and findings to the Group. 

- Cost risk is the risk for potential losses which could occur as the result of a misevaluation of costs when setting prices or a 

misevaluation of changed circumstances in the macroeconomic environment, which could cause excess growth in the 

Group’s operating costs. 

The procedures for managing risk related to unsuitable cost assessment are based on an established system of recording 

and allocating costs to cost centres and cost units, on constant monitoring of the movement of costs, and on adopting 

appropriate measures in case of unfavourable developments. 

- The risk that social circumstances will change so as to have an adverse effect on the Group can be classified under 

economic environment risk. Increase in the unemployment rate and reduction of purchasing power can cause more claims 

in credit insurance, fewer insurance contracts concluded, and more cancellations of life and pension insurance contracts. This 

group may also include the risk of changes in case law when adjudicating claims. 

- Policyholder behaviour risk – insurance fraud. 

- Claims risk involves the risk that claims will be higher than expected in number and/or amount, and the risk of an excessive 

portion of self-coverage due to inadequate reinsurance coverage, especially in cases of disasters. 

In life insurance contracts with coverage for the event of death, the number and amount of damages is most affected by 

epidemics and changes in lifestyle, such as a change in dietary habits, physical exercise or smoking. For life insurance 

contracts where the insured event is maturity, and for health insurance contracts, the greatest risk factor is the advancement 

of medicine and improvement of the population’s social status, increasing longevity. 

In property insurance a significant risk factor is climate change, which increases the frequency of extreme weather events 

(flooding, hail, etc.). For liability insurance characterised by lengthy procedures which can take several years for claims cases 

to be resolved, a significant risk factor is the increase of legal actions, especially involving non-material claims (coverage and 

amount). 

In the interest of managing insurance risk, the Group has concluded reinsurance contracts whereby it transfers a portion of 

this risk to the reinsurer. Each financial year the management adopts a planned reinsurance programme, which includes 

calculations of all maximum own insurance shares by insurance category, as well as the maximum coverage table and certain 

procedures, bases and criteria for determining the maximum possible claims. The reinsurance programme consists of 

traditional proportional and non-proportional forms of reinsurance coverage, and it also includes a contract for the event of 

natural disasters. 

5.1.2. Frequency and amount of claims 

Concentration of insurance risk can stem from a single insurance contract or from a smaller number of contracts covering low 

probability events with high claims potential, such as insurance for earthquakes and other natural disasters. 

In insurance for the event of death, the greatest effects which can increase the frequency of claims are epidemics and lifestyle 

changes (e.g. changed dietary habits, exercise and smoking) which could lead to premature claims or greater claims than 

anticipated. For insurance contracts where the insured event is survival, the greatest risk factor is the advancement of 

medicine and improvement of the population’s social standard, increasing longevity. 

The insurance contract portfolio contains insurance contracts where the Group accepts the risk of coverage in the event of 

death. In cases of insurance coverage for the event of death, the Group guarantees coverage up to the insured sum during 

113



the insurance coverage period. During the coverage period under a mixed life insurance contract, the Group guarantees the 

payment of the insured sum in the event of death or maturity. 

With a view towards managing the Group’s exposure to insurance risk, the management has concluded a reinsurance 

contract, transferring a part of the insurance risk onto the reinsurer.

Considering the fact that their share is relatively small in comparison with the overall portfolio, we can deduce that the Group’s 

portfolio is sufficiently diversified and that it is not overly exposed to a few large clients. 

In the property insurance segment, the risks to which the Group is exposed vary depending on the industry in which the 

insured is active. The table below shows the concentration of liabilities from property insurance by industry in which the 

insured is active. The maximum loss (maximum sum insured) shown is categorised by size into three categories.

5.1.3 Property and health insurance contracts - assumptions and changes in assumptions 

a.) The process of determining assumptions 

The main assumptions which affect disclosure of liabilities stemming from property insurance contracts relate to establishing 

liabilities for claims. The overall calculation of reserves is based on estimates and assumptions by completing the 

development of incurred claims. 

115



The calculation of provisions for claims is divided into two parts, considering the nature of individual claims: 

• Claims reported but not yet paid as at the balance sheet date 

On the basis of a review of all claims reported but not yet paid out as at the balance sheet date, an assessment is made on 

expected liabilities stemming from future payouts of individual claims. Larger cases of material claimsare appraised by inhouse 

appraisers, and non-material clams (e.g. liability claims) and claims in legal proceedings are assessed by in-house 

legal experts (lawyers). Liabilities from claims which are paid out in the form of annuities are assessed by the Group as the 

present value of future payouts, where a 2.6% discount factor is applied. 

• Claims incurred but not reported as at the balance sheet date (IBNR) 

IBNR liabilities are established on the level of insurance category using the triangle (chain ladder) method or statistical 

method. 

The chain ladder method can be based on recognised or accrued claims with monthly or annual development factors, 

depending on the characteristics of the incidence of loss and procedures for resolving claims. The claims are arranged in a 

triangle, where the rows represent the year the claims were incurred, and the columns represent the number of years from the 

time the clams were incurred to recognising or accrual of the claims. Prediction of final claims is based on the calculation of 

average annual development factors. 

The statistical method is based on reviewing past claims. The IBNR calculation is made on the level of individual insurance 

category as the mathematical product of the estimated number of IBNR damages and the estimated value of IBNR claims. 

The estimated number of IBNR claims reported after 1 January 2009 is calculated by multiplying the number of reported 

claims in 2008 by the average factor of claims reported later in relation to all reported claims over the past ten years. The 

estimated value of IBNR claims equals the average value of IBNR claims in the past year or the average value of claims paid 

in the past year if there was a relatively small number of claims. 

b) Changes in assumptions 

There were no changes in assumptions for insurance contracts in 2009 compared to 2008. 

c.) Development of claims

policies.

5.1.4. Long-term life insurance – assumptions, changes in assumptions and sensitivity 

a.) Procedure of establishing assumptions 

Liabilities from life insurance contracts with DPF were calculated using assumptions on future mortality from statistical tables. 

The portfolio of insurance contracts was too small in the past, so for the purpose of estimating mortality the following statistical 

tables are used: 

- for life insurance contracts with DPF, Slovenian morality tables from 1992 were used; 

- for annuity products, German mortality tables from 1987 were used 

- cancellations, 

- returns on investments (rate 2.6%-4%). 

These assumptions are set at the time of concluding the contract and remain the same throughout the term of insurance, or 

safer assumptions are used in the calculation of liability to provide for the possibility of unfavourable deviation from 

expectations. An additional adjustment is applied to these assumptions to account for risk and uncertainty. 

New estimates are made for each subsequent financial year for the purpose of checking the adequacy of liabilities determined 

in this manner. If it is determined that the established liabilities are adequate, assumptions remain unchanged. If the 

established liabilities prove to be inadequate, assumptions are revised to reflect new expectations. Consequently, the 

provisions are measured according to appropriate level. 

The assumptions used for insurance contracts described hereunder are as follows: 

• mortality 

Depending on the type of contract, the appropriate mortality table is chosen and adjusted to reflect actual mortality 

of the insurance portfolio in past years and the current period. 

• cancellations 

An analysis of the Group’s experience of the past three years is carried out by application of statistical methods, and 

the appropriate cancellation percentage is determined. Cancellation percentages vary by type of product and term 

of the insurance period. The analysis is carried out in order to determine the best estimate of the policyholders’ 

behaviour. 

• returns on investments 

The Group established assumptions for returns on investments by taking into account present returns on 

government-issued securities and other financial instruments on the market. In addition to this, the structure of 

assets which are used to cover liabilities stemming from life insurance contracts (long-term business fund) is taken 

into consideration by determining weighted average returns. 

• costs 

Future costs are determined on the basis of current costs. The future inflation assumption was also applied. 

b.) Changes in assumptions 

In 2009 the Group made no changes in the assumptions used in the calculation of insurance contracts. 

118



5.1.5. Sensitivity analysis 

The Group made a sensitivity analysis of net profits before taxes on the last day of the financial year, with consideration to 

various parameters.

5.1.6. Risk management in the area of reinsurance protection 

General description of the purpose and goals of reinsurance protection 

Reinsurance enables the Group to underwrite also insurance contracts that exceed Group's own capacities, i.e. to take over 

risks above the Groups own retention and provide for solvency and liquidity of operations. Thus it represents a key element of 

risk management in insurance industry / business. 

The Group pursues the objective to achieve the optimum protection both against individual large claims and against the 

aggregate exposure of the Group's insurance portfolio to natural and other insurance hazards. 

The Group decides on the form and structure of the reinsurance based on the level of retention of the insurer and the profiles 

of insurance portfolio. 

Contractual reinsurance ensures automatic cover of the vast majority of underwritten risks, even in the event of potential risk 

assessment errors. 

For exceptional risks which exceed the contractual reinsurance protection by scale or content of the cover provisions, the 

Group ensures additional special facultative reinsurance protection. The program of planed reinsurance is composed of 

traditional proportional and non-proportional types of reinsurance protection, and is by structure and by extent of covers 

practically the same as in business year 2008. Through operational risks management the Group carefully monitors the 

frequency and the scale of the risks reinsured either under ordinary contractual provisions or under special facultative 

reinsurance provisions. 

Basic assumptions used in sensitivity tests 

We assume two types of reinsurance protection risks. The first risk is whether the structure and scale of protection have been 

adequately chosen, which can be checked by simulation of whether decreasing reinsurance protection would significantly 

decrease net profit or loss, which would consequently jeopardise the Group’s capital adequacy. The second risk is whether 

the profit or loss would worsen significantly if an above-average number of large-scale and mass losses (which would also 

involve above-average amounts) occurred in a given period. 

Two income sensitivity tests have been designed to assess reinsurance protection risk: first, the test of sensitivity to a 

decrease in reinsurance protection, and second, the test of sensitivity to above-average incidence of loss (for large-scale and 

mass losses). 

Analysis of the group portfolio from the aspect of reinsurance risk 

In the largest group of other property insurance contracts, we analysed the sensitivity of individual portfolios of insurance 

categories/groups of insurance categories to large-scale and mass losses, with the aim of focusing the reinsurance risk 

management analysis on the most exposed insurance categories. This analysis showed that the reinsurance risk is most 

significantly affected, both in terms of the amount and number of potentially large-scale and mass losses, by the portfolio of 

auto liability insurance and the portfolio of fire and other damage insurance. These portfolios also significantly affect the profit 

or loss; therefore the sensitivity analysis was made on the basis of these reinsurance contracts.

Quantitative analysis of sensitivity test results 

In order to assess the consequences of lowering the reinsurance protection, two sensitivity tests were carried out, measuring 

the quantitative impact on the net profit or loss. In the sensitivity tests we used the most important reinsurance contracts 

covering groups of insurance categories which may potentially have the greatest impact on the Group’s profit or loss due to 

the portfolio size or potential for large-scale or mass losses.

We have illustrated in the tables the effect of the increase of the own share (own funding) on profit of the company when loss 

events remained largely unchanged in the contract years 2008 and 2009. The lower volume of the reinsurance protection was 

accompanied by the lower written reinsurance premium, as well as the lower volume of the written shares of the reinsurers in 

claims, which in turn is reflected on the positive change in the net premium and the negative change in the net claim. 

Despite the fact that the initial own shares in the contract year 2009 were slightly higher than those in the contract year 2008, 

the impact of the lowering of the reinsurance protection on the change in claims and in outstanding claims provisions in both 

years does not differ much. 

The profit generated by the Group in both years was influenced by the change in net written premium. The base reinsurance 

premium was in the contract year 2008 slightly higher as a consequence of lower own shares in comparison with 2009; hence 

in the case of a decrease in the reinsurance protection in 2008, there would also be an increase in net written premium higher 

than the increase in net written premium in the contract year 2009. 

As a consequence of the developments described above, a comparable increase in the company’s own shares in both years 

would result in a decrease in the company’s profit in the amount of 851 thousand euros in the contract year 2008 and 850 

thousand euros in the contract year 2009.

The two tables above show the effect of claims listed bellow, on the profit or loss reported in 2008 and 2009 having actual 

reinsurance protection in 2008 and 2009: 

- Fire loss in the amount of EUR 800,000, which was the subject of quota and Fire Risk XL reinsurance. 

- Installation loss in the amount of EUR 8,000,000, which was the subject of surplus (95.00%), quota and technical 

Risk XL reinsurance. 

- Loss as a result of storms in the amount of EUR 5,652,000 where the smaller portion was reinsured, while the 

remaining portion was covered under quota and property Cat XL reinsurance serving to provide coverage in case of 

catastrophic losses. 

- Claims from motor vehicle liability insurance in the amount of EUR 250,000, 750,000, 1,500,000, 3,000,000 and 

15,000,000. 

Note: as regards losses under motor vehicle liability, the assumption made is to retain 50% of simulated losses in provisions 

for claims, whereas for all other simulated losses we have assumed making payments over the course of the year. 

124



As already mentioned, in 2009 we increased our own shares for motor insurance and insurance against the risk of natural 

disasters, which directly affects the reduced volume of reinsurance coverage compared to the contract year 2008. Loss 

events in the two years are comparable since in both years we recorded more loss events due to storms and an equal 

number of major automobile liability claims. In contract year 2008, the above claims would cause decrease in the Group’s 

profit of EUR 3,679 thousand, and in 2009, EUR 4,003 thousand. 

5.2 Financial risks 

The Group is exposed to financial risks through its financial assets and liabilities, reinsurance receivables and insurance 

liabilities. Financial risks are risks that, due to changes in the capital markets and ratings of the Group’s clients, the inflows will 

not be sufficient to cover the outflows. The most significant components of this financial risk are liquidity risk, credit risk and 

market risk; the Group is exposed to the risks of changes in interest rates, securities market prices and currency rates. 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may be unable to repay all its liabilities, including potential liabilities, without threat to its 

normal activities. The Group maintains capital adequacy with an adequate amount of capital in order to be able to ensure 

liquidity at any moment and so that it is sustainably able to meet its obligations (solvency). 

The main source of credit risk for the Group stems from the insurance segment and involves investments and reinsurance 

risks. This involves the risk that the counterparty will be unable to pay the amounts due at maturity. 

Market risks arise particularly in the investment of assets, where there is the potential that expectations regarding the value of 

investments are not met or are not met entirely. The risk of unfavourable changes in investment values can be the 

consequence of foreign exchange rate changes, as well as changes in interest rates or securities prices. 

The Group manages and controls the risks to which it is exposed by constantly monitoring cash flows and ensuring that it 

always has enough liquid assets at its disposal to settle its liabilities, by investing its assets in a manner which ensures stable 

long-term returns which exceed the amount of returns on insurance liabilities, by matching the terms of financial assets 

against financial liabilities, and by ensuring the adequacy of financial assets. 

Currency risk is less important for the Group because of ERM2 and adoption of the euro in 2007.

5.2.1 Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations due at a reasonable cost. 

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk in particular with regards to the insurance liabilities (claims) and the contractual 

obligations pertaining to the acquisition of financial instruments (notably the acquisitions of companies) and the servicing of 

current liabilities from financial instruments. 

The liquidity requirements in the field of financial intermediation are specifically regulated by the law, where the most 

important area for the Group is insurance where it strives to maintain the volume of liquidity in accordance with the regulatory 

requirements. 

Exposure to liquidity risk is reflected in the acceptance of insurance risk and the Group’s ability to meet its contractual 

obligations from existing insurance contracts and liabilities related to the insurer’s day-to-day operations. 

Liquidity risk stems from an imbalance in inflows and outflows and manifests itself in the potential that the Group, despite 

having adequate financial assets, would find itself in the position of having to cash in its investments under less favourable 

conditions (e.g. lower price, higher transaction costs) in order to meet its contractual obligations, which would result in a lower 

return on investments. 

The Group manages its liquidity risk through: 

• maintaining a suitable structure of investments; 

• diversifying the investment portfolio; 

• planning future cash flows, ensuring a suitable volume of cash flows from operating and investing activities (payout of 

interest and principal) to cover future foreseeable liabilities; 

• providing an adequate volume of high liquidity investments which are readily convertible without loss in order to cover 

future unforeseeable liabilities. 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk via financial assets and liabilities, reinsured receivables and insured liabilities. Due 

to the nature of its investments and liabilities, the Group particularly faces the risk of changed interest rates. 

The overview of liquidity risk management is presented below, showing maturity of assets according to contractual cash flows, 

which are compared with the expected cash flows of insurance and financial contracts. 

Contractual cash flows for debt securities are calculated using the data of the issuers. The amortisation schedule and coupon 

rate at the date of calculation is used. For each time interval, the future cash flows (principal and coupon rate) are considered 

according to the situation of the debt securities portfolio. 

For the purpose of presenting cash flows of life insurance contracts with DPF and unit-linked life insurance, all the cash flows 

of future payments of claims and costs arising from life insurance contracts effective at 31 December 2009 were generated. 

For the purpose of presenting cash flows of financial contracts, all the cash flows of future payments of claims and costs 

arising from financial contracts effective at 31 December 2009 were generated.. 

Expected cash flows of property insurance and health insurance represent an assessment of payments for claims (which 

have already been incurred), including costs and the release of liability from unearned premiums and provisions. 

Own assets of the Group are not intended for covering liabilities from insurance and financial contracts, and this is the reason 

the mean duration of assets is not presented.

5.2.2 Credit risk 

Credit risk is the consequence of an inability on the part of a contracting party to fully repay its obligations or overdue debts. In 

terms of financial instruments included in investments, it is the risk that one party in a contract regulating the financial 

instrument will cause the other party to incur financial loss due to a default on obligations as a result of a difference between 

actual and contractually agreed fulfilment of obligations. 

The Group manages its credit risk exposure by introducing further limits on individual amounts and on already specified 

amounts of maximum exposure of individual securities. In order to minimise the risk exposure, the Group checks analyses 

and credit rating scores of issuers of securities. It also manages its credit risk exposure through investments in governmentissued 

securities, and low-risk securities. The procedures for checking the credit of foreign issuers of securities are based on 

acquiring credit rating information from international firms such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch-IBCA and Moody’s. 

Issuers of securities in Slovenia do not have ratings, but the insurance part of the Group has the highest concentration of 

investments in debt securities, bank and government bonds. The credit risk of investment coupons and equity securities is 

controlled by diversification of investments. 

Procedures of verifying credit ratings are based on obtaining and reviewing publicly accessible data on the current financial 

status of the issuer of financial instruments and its future solvency. The credit rating of domestic issuers of financial 

instruments is determined by the Group itself. In checking the issuer’s credit using its own sources, the Group checks future 

solvency and in particular the issuer’s adequacy of expected future cash flows from regular activities, offset against the 

outflows for settlement of future liabilities. 

In terms of of reinsurance, the same as for financial asset investment, credit risk management procedures relate to verifying 

the reinsurer’s credit rating. In accordance with the credit risk management strategy , reinsurance-related liabilities are 

reinsured by prime-grade reinsurers. This does not, however, discharge the Group’s liability as primary insurer. If a reinsurer 

fails to pay a claim for any reason, the Group remains liable for the payment to the policyholder. The creditworthiness of 

reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalisation of any contract. 

The Group restructures credit risk by establishing limits according to counterparty and also according to territory and industry. 

These risks change regularly.

Recourse receivables – recourse claims and assets acquired in the course of settlement of claims 

The Group may sell items damaged in insurance cases, which it acquires in the course of resolving claims. The net 

recoverable value of damaged items in claims which the Group manages to sell is recognised as revenue on the transaction 

date (sale of the damaged item). 

With the payment of claims, the rights in relation to those responsible for the damage are also transferred from the 

policyholder to the Group (subrogation). The Group exercises that right through a recourse claim of partial or entire payment 

of the insurance amount. In the event the insured person of compulsory liability insurance loses his or her rights (intoxication, 

etc.) the Group demands recourse from the policyholder or the person responsible for the damage of the entire or partial 

amount of the paid claims. Exercised recourse claims are recognised as insurance revenue. Expected recourse amounts are 

also included in the calculation of liabilities for claims. 

Recourse receivables are recorded separately, as exercised and unexercised, whereas the unexercised recourse receivables 

are kept in off-balance sheet records and no impairment is recognised with regard to them. 

Exercised recourse receivables are recorded separately as receivables insured by mortgage and other recourse receivables, 

which is the basis for impairment calculation. Impairment of exercised recourse receivables and receivables on redemption is 

based on individual estimation of the financial situation and liquidity of the insurance policyholder. Liquidity of debtors and 

other receivables, except deferred tax receivables, are assessed individually; the same is true for impairment calculation. 

Loans 

The Group approves loans to its subsidiaries and associates in order to take advantage of synergy effects. The Group can 

raise loans under more advantageous conditions than subsidiaries and associates because of its financial power and 

intensive cooperation with financial institutions. Loans are approved at the rate of interest prescried for loans to related 

parties. Loans are not insured. 

In some cases, loans are also approved to companies outside the Group if there exists a mutual interest for business 

cooperation. These loans are not insured, and the interest rate is higher.

5.2.3 Sensitivity analysis 

Sensitivity analysis – parameters 

Methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis for the types of market risks, which the Group is exposed. 

Sensitivity factor 

Changes in interest rates 

Changes in share prices 

Changes in commissions 

Description of sensitivity factor applied 

The impact of a change in market interest rates of ± 50 bp (i.e.: what is the impact 

on profit and equity if the market interest rate changes by the 50 basis points). A 

change of ± 50 bp represents a change of more than 1%, according to the change 

in interest rates in the past year. 

The impact of changes in market prices of financial assets are reflected in a 

change in share price, the price of ID-share prices of structured securities and the 

price of mutual funds at 31 December 2008 of ± 15%. 

The impact of changes in revenue from commissions from a decrease of 

investments of 15%. 

The table below summarises the results of the sensitivity analysis of a change in interest rates, a change in prices of equity 

securities and changes in the level of commission for the management of which the impact on equity excludes the impact on 

the profit and loss account. Because of changes in financial markets in the past year, the Group has changed the 

assumptions of sensitivity analysis to reflect the changes in market conditions.

5.2.4 Currency risk 

The Group’s currency risk is not considered to be significant due to the fact that Slovenia is in the ERM2 system with fixed 

foreign currency rates, and the euro was introduced in Slovenia on 1 January 2007. 

The table below summarises the Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at 31 December. Included in the 

table are the Group’s financial assets and financial and insurance liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by currency.

5.3 Operational risk 

Operational risks are risks related to errors in the functioning of business processes, information technology, organisation and 

similar areas. 

The operational risks of the Group are managed in the subsidiaries by monitoring the weaknesses and opportunities of their 

businesses and by controlling the business processes. The operational risk management is based on the Group’s strategic 

and companies’ operational objectives. 

The Group manages operational risks by introducing ISO standards at the level of the Group and at its individual members, by 

which the Group wants to standardise the business processes. The Group uses standardised and uniform software in the 

area of accounting and investments. Operational risks are reduced also with uniform system of annual planning and interim 

and annual reporting. 

5.4 General business risk 

General business risks are related to the Group’s operations in the environment, such as the economic environment, 

legislation and similar, on which the Group has no direct impact. 

Such risks are quite difficult to measure or model. In order to manage such risks, the Group regularly monitors legislation 

through its technical services, as well as developments on the capital market and macroeconomic parameters of the markets 

in which it is present. 

135



5.5 Capital management 

Board of Directors takes a decision on maintenance of significant (large) capital scope to ensure the confidence of all 

participants and development of KD Group. As one of the strategic indicators, the Group defines return on equity as the ratio 

between net profit for the year of the majority owner and the average value of the majority owner’s equity. The Group seeks to 

keep a balance between large returns which can be reached by higher indebtedness, and the advantages and safety of a 

powerful capital structure. Return on equity is one of the strategic indicators of the Group's annual plan, which is adopted on 

the basis of monitoring developments in the environment and on maintaining an optimal capital structure. Return on equity is 

calculated as the ratio between net profit / loss generated and the average value of the total equity, less the value of earnings. 

Pursuant to the decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders, the parent company KD Group d. d. has established its own 

share fund. On 31 December 2009 there were 62,201 ordinary shares KDHR, which accounts for 2.11% of issued capital and 

51,306 preference shares KDHP, which represents 1.74% of issued capital. 

The investment plan, optimal capital structure policy, expectations and interests of shareholders are the basis for 

development of the dividend policy. The entity distributes dividends once a year. The Board of Directors of the parent 

company takes a decision about the amount of proposed dividends. Dividends are distributed from the retained earnings of 

the parent company, which is regulated in compliance with valid regulations in Slovenia; the decision about dividend 

distribution is taken by the General Meeting of Shareholders. 

KD Group d. d. has no specific aims about ownership by employees and has no share option programme. In the Group there 

were no changes in the management of capital in 2009. 

The parent company is not subject to capital requirements which could be set by the regulatory authority. 

For an entity that has subsidiaries in the financial and insurance segment, capital requirements are provided by the regulatory 

authority. The management of the entities provides the proper amount of capital (capital adequacy) according to the scope 

and type of operations which are managed by the management and according to the risks to which they are exposed. 

5.6 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities 

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in 

an arm’s length transaction. 

The Group establishes the fair value of financial assets in the following way: 

- The fair value of investments in equity instruments that have a quoted market price on an active market is determined as 

the product of the number of units of the instrument and its quoted market price. 

- If there is no active market for the financial instruments, methods of assessing the fair value of a financial instrument are 

used. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing 

parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, and 

discounted cash flow analysis. The Group has developed a model for assessing the fair value of non-listed equity 

instruments; its appropriateness was assessed by an independent qualified expert. Using this model, the fair values of 

significant financial investments in non-listed companies are estimated once a year on the basis of data available. 

- The fair value of loans and deposits represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be 

received. Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to determine fair value. 

- The estimated fair value of borrowings not quoted on an active market is based on discounted cash flows using current 

market rates. The aggregate fair value of quoted debt securities is calculated based on quoted market prices. 

- For current receivables and liabilities, it is assumed their carrying value reflects their fair value. 

- For a contract containing a discretionary participation feature, the fair value cannot be measured reliably. 

The following table summarises the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial assets and liabilities not presented on 

the Group’s balance sheet at their fair value. Bid prices are used to estimate fair values of assets, whereas offer prices are 

applied to liabilities.

Fair value hierarchy 

In 2009, the disclosures of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value were amended by disclosures serving to 

disclose the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value also by the source of valuation by applying a threelevel 

hierarchy for each and every type of financial instruments. The hierarchy is divided into three levels and the fair value of 

financial assets is shown below: 

- Level 1 includes the assets where fair value is determined entirely on the basis of prices quoted on an active market 

for similar instruments. 

- Level 2 includes the assets where fair value is determined on the basis of the valuation models where the inputs are 

obtained from publicly accessible market data (e.g.: market interest rates). 

- Level 3 includes the assets where fair value is determined on the basis of the valuation models where inputs that 

cannot be based on observable market are taken into account.

The valuation of the investments made in equity securities classified at Level 3 was carried out on the basis of the 

assessment made for all equity capital and by using the discounted future net cash flows method . The method was based on 

the key assumptions set forth below: 

− The estimated free cash flows until 2018, 

− The leverage rate of the insurance company, and 

− The discount for the lack of marketability. 

The effect of the modified assumptions would not have any material effect on the financial statements.

In 2009 the Group increased their share of investment properties owned by the Group. Consequently, this resulted in an 

increase in the investment property recognised in the consolidated financial statements and a reduction in the value of 

property, plant and equipment. 

The following amounts have been recognised in the income statement: 

(in EUR) 2009 2008 

Rental income 3,212,082 1,141,511 

Direct operating expenses arising from investment properties that generate rental income 723,642 956,250 

The Group does not have any investment properties that do not generate rental income. Lease agreements are short-term 

and cancellable. 

Investments in land and buildings are initially measured at acquisition price, including all costs of the transaction. After initial 

recognition, they are disclosed at acquisition price, decreased by the depreciation charge and accrued loss attributable to 

impairment (cost model) - much like intangible assets. 

The Group assesses the need for impairment of investment property based on valuations of a licensed real estate appraiser, 

material changes in real estate prices, and under normal market conditions, on a three to five-year basis.

Goodwill is allocated mainly to the property insurance and financial operations segments and is assessed annually for 

impairment. 

The impairment charge of goodwill in the financial operations segment in 2009 was EUR 5,904,886 (in 2008 EUR 

25,722,755). 

Impairment of goodwill is recognised in other expenses (Note 23). 

The goodwill of the financial operations segment was assessed by an independent qualified expert using the following key 

assumptions in 2009: 

- present value of future cash-flows without indebtedness; 

- estimation was based on analysis of past operations and estimation of future business opportunities; 

- cash return was discounted with the appropriate weighted arithmetic average of return rate of debt and equity 

securities; 

- the CAMP model was used, modified for each country; 

- assumptions: 4% expected rate of return on non-risk investments, 7% premium for capital risk, 1.05% for systematic 

risk, 1% premium for particular risk, 20% discount for illiquidity, political risk factor between 1.05 and 1.15, 2% 

premium of investment in small companies; 

- return on equity between 12.6% and 16.1%; 

- profitability between 22.2% and 30% (depending on individual market saturation); 

- growth between 3.6% and 30% (depending on individual market saturation). 

- 

The goodwill of the financial operations segment was assessed by an independent qualified expert using the following key 

assumptions in 2008: 

- present value of future cash-flows without indebtedness; 

- estimation was based on analysis of past operations and estimation of future business opportunities; 

- cash return was discounted with the appropriate weighted arithmetic average of return rate of debt and equity 

securities; 

- the CAMP model was used, modified to each country; 

- assumptions: 4% expected rate of return on non-risk investments, 7% premium for capital risk, 1.05% for systematic 

risk, 1% premium for particular risk, 25% discount for illiquidity; 

- return on equity between 12.6% and 16.1%. 

In 2009, the appraisal of the property insurance segment was verified using an internal method of evaluation. 

146



Key assumptions used in 2009 for the property insurance segment are: 

- the income approach (discounted cash flows) and market approach methods were used to calculate a range of 

values for the property insurance business; 

- the best management projections and estimates regarding the future premium were used for the period 2009-2014. 

For the following years, decreasing growth rates consistent with market growth were used. The forecasted growth of 

Slovenian general insurance market is approximately 7% annually; 

- unearned premium reserve projection is based on the premium earning patterns applied to the gross premium 

amount for each calendar year and line of business separately; 

- ceded premium assumptions range from 0% to 35% of the gross earned premium depending on the line of 

business. Ceded claims assumptions range from 0% to 50% of the gross claims incurred depending on the line of 

business; 

- ultimate loss ratio assumptions for future accident years range from 35% to 110% depending on the line on 

business; 

- The risk discount rate of 12.6% was derived based on CAPM ("Capital Asset Pricing Model"). 

Based on the results of the valuation, which was performed by an independent qualified expert, the Group assessed that the 

goodwill related to the property insurance segment does not require impairment. Even if there was a change (within 

reasonable limits) in the assumprions, impairment would not be required. 

The goodwill was assessed using an internal method of evaluation. Goodwill does not require impairment according to this 

assessment.

The Supervisory Board of KD Life Življenje d.d. at its meeting on 1 March 2010, adopted the proposal to convene the General 

Meeting of Shareholders and replace a member of the Supervisory Board. Mr. Sergej Racman, member and Deputy 

Chairman of the Supervisory Board, will be replaced by Draško Veselinovič, PhD. At the same meeting the Supervisory 

Board also gave its consent to the company´s business plan for the financial year 2010. 

Following the review of operations of KD Življenje d. d. which by the Insurance Supervision Agency (the Agency) in 2007, an 

Order for the elimination of violation No. 40105-381/08-27 dated 14 April 2008 was issued to KD Življenje stating that the 

company did not set aside insurance technical provisions for minimum guaranteed payments on life insurance with DPF of 

Asia Garant and Asia Garant plus, which should have been done in accordance with the Insurance Act. Since KD Življenje 

submitted an incomplete report on 

the elimination of violations, the Agency issued another Order No. 40105-789/08-27 of 19 June 2008 for updated report. 

172



Following the annulment of the above Order for updated report, the Agency issued a new Order for updated report No.. 

40105-2559/08-27 of 17 December 2008, which is, based on the legal action brought by the insurance company on 5 January 

2010, again under judicial review. The lawsuit is currently in progress. Since instituting proceedings against the Order for 

updated report and the Decision of the Agency No. 40109-221/09-27 of 11 February 2009, by which the Agency decided on 

objection to the Order for the updated report does not stay the execution thereof, the insurance company on 26 January 2010 

reconciled insurance technical provisions and investments in accordance with the Order for updated report and the Decision. 

As at 31 January 2010 the insurance company formed insurance technical provisions for guaranteed minimum payment of 

endowment on the life insurance assets covering mathematical provisions in the amount of EUR 6,127,227. The difference to 

the full amount of insurance technical provisions arising from the value of units in structured debt securities of Asia Garant 

and Asia Garant + was recognised within unit-linked assets in the amount of EUR 305,014. 

On 20 January 2010 legal action was brought to the court against the Decision of the Ministry of Finance, Directorate for the 

System of Tax, Customs and Other Public Revenues, Division for Administrative Procedure at II. Degree in Tax and Customs 

Matters No. DT-499-02-32/2007 of 10 December 2009, rejecting the company's appeal against first instance decision of the 

Ministry of Finance, Tax Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, the Special Tax Office, No. DT 0610-11/2007 0203 10 of 

19 June 2007. Taxes and fees the payment of which was required in the said decision were paid already in 2007. 

On 12 January 2010 at the time when the preparation of these financial statements was drawing to its end, the inspectors of 

the Tax Administration of the Republic of Slovenia began the examination of the corporate income tax for the year 2008. The 

tax inspection is expected take three months; hence by the time the annual report and accounts for 2009 drawn up by the 

reporting entity were completed, no decision has been issued by the tax authorities. 

On 10 February 2010, the Supervisory Board of Adriatic Slovenica deliberating on the basis of the notice given by Mr. Marko 

Rems resigning his position of a member of the Management Board dated 25 November 2009 relieved him of his duty. Until 

the appointment of a new member of the Management Board, the insurance company Adriatic Slovenicaa will be run by the 

two-memebr Management Board composed of two members. 

On 19 March 2010, a report about the measures taken to remedy the infringement specified in the decision issued by the 

Insurance Supervision Agency was sent to the Slovenian supervisory authority. By the time of the publication of this Annual 

Report for 2009, the insurance company has not received any feedback.
