These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Group at 31 December 2004 and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
