WHAT DOES DEVELOPMENT MEAN?
2010 ANNUAL REPORT
EVERYTHING IS IN A CONSTANT
STATE OF DEVELOPMENT
LIFE IS DEVELOPMENT. AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH REPORTS FROM ALL
SCIENTIFIC AND ARTISTIC DISCIPLINES CAN BE REDUCED TO THESE SIMPLE THREE WORDS.
IN FACT, EVERY THING AROUND US IS CONSTANTLY DEVELOPING. SOME THINGS SEEM TO
TAKE THEIR TIME AND CHANGES ARE HARDLY VISIBLE. OTHER THINGS, HOWEVER, HAPPEN
VERY QUICKLY. IN RETROSPECT, WE ARE OFTEN FULL OF AMA ZEMENT.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE AN ECONOMY WITHOUT DEVELOPMENT. THE REVERSE IS
ALSO TRUE: DEVELOPMENT IS UNIMAGINABLE WITHOUT ECONOMIC INNOVATION. IT HAS
ALWAYS BEEN THE CHANGES AND INNOVATIONS IN ECONOMIC STRUCTURES THAT HAVE
DECISIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SOCIET Y. OVER THE
L AST 200 YEARS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED FROM AN AGRICULTURAL SOCIET Y TO AN
INDUSTRIAL AND SERVICE SOCIET Y AND MOST RECENTLY TO AN INFORMATION SOCIET Y.
WE DON’T KNOW IN WHAT DIRECTION OUR SOCIET Y WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT FEW
DECADES. HOWEVER, SOME FACTORS ARE ALREADY APPARENT: PEOPLE ARE GET TING
OLDER, WHICH MEANS THAT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO NEED CARE WILL RISE AND
THAT PENSIONS MUST BE FINANCED ON A LONG-TERM BASIS. OUR SOCIAL WELFARE
SYSTEM AS WELL AS OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FACE GREAT CHALLENGES. THE ROLE
THAT INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE PL AY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE. TODAY DATA IS
ALREADY TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD AT LIGHTNING SPEED. PEOPLE, STATES AND
ECONOMIC SYSTEMS ARE MOVING CLOSER TOGETHER. THE WORLD IS INCREASINGLY
BECOMING A GLOBAL VILL AGE. BORDERS ARE LOSING THEIR MEANING. AS WE HAVE
ALREADY SEEN, THIS CLOSE INTERT WINING CAN HAVE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES. BUT
EVEN THOUGH GREAT CHALLENGES HAVE ARISEN, WE HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED TO
OVERCOME THESE DIFFICULTIES BY CONTINUING TO DEVELOP.

AUDIT CERTIFICATE
REPORT ON THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I have audited the attached annual financial statements of Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark AG, Graz, together with the underlying
accounting records, for the financial year from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010. These annual financial statements include the
balance sheet as of 31 December 2010, the profit and loss statement for the financial year ending on 31 December 2010, and the notes.
RESPONSIBILIT Y OF THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THE UNDERLYING ACCOUNTING RECORDS
The accounting records as well as the preparation and contents of the financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s legal
representatives. They shall present a true and fair view of the company’s net assets, its financial position and earnings situation pursuant to
Austrian commercial and banking laws. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of an internal control system,
insofar as this is relevant to the preparation of the annual financial statements and the presentation of a true and fair view of the company’s net
assets, its financial position and earnings situation, so that these statements are free of material misstatements, whether due to intentional or
unintentional mistakes. It also includes choosing and applying suitable accounting and valuation methods and carr ying out estimates that
appear appropriate under the existing circumstances.
RESPONSIBILIT Y OF THE ANNUAL AUDITOR AND DESCRIPTION OF THE T YPE AND SCOPE
OF THE LEGALLY REQUIRED AUDIT
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements on the basis of my audit. I have performed my audit in accordance with
the statutor y regulations and professional auditing principles generally accepted in Austria. These standards require that I comply with the
rules of the profession and plan and conduct the audit so as to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
The audit includes carr ying out audit procedures in order to obtain audit evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures contained in
the financial statements. The choice of audit procedures depends on the conscientious discretion of the auditor, taking into consideration his/her
estimation of the chance that a material misstatement has been made, whether due to intentional or unintentional mistakes. When estimating the
level of this risk, the auditor takes the internal control system into consideration, insofar as it is of significance for preparing the annual financial
statements and providing a true and fair view of the company‘s net assets, financial position and earnings situation, in order to determine the
appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances. The auditor does not, however, give an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s
internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the adequacy of the accounting and valuation policies used and the accounting
estimates made by the legal representatives, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
AUDIT OPINION
My audit did not give rise to any objections. Based on the results of my audit, the annual financial statements, in my opinion, present fairly, in
all material respects, a true and fair view of the net assets and financial position of the company as of 31 December 2010, and of its earnings
situation for the financial year from 1 Januar y 2010 to 31 December 2010 in accordance with the accounting standards generally accepted in
Austria.
STATEMENTS ON THE MANAGEMENT REPORT
According to the statutor y regulations, it shall be determined whether the management report is consistent with the financial statements
and whether the other disclosures made in the management report do not give rise to a false idea of the position of the company. The audit
certificate shall also contain a statement on whether the management report is consistent with the financial statements and whether the
disclosures pursuant to § 243a of the Austrian Code of Enterprises (UGB) are accurate.
In my judgment, the management report is consistent with the financial statements. The disclosures pursuant to § 243a of the Austrian Code of
Enterprises (UGB) are accurate.
