29. Review “B&W Deloitte reviewed the methodology used to calculate the embedded values, the value added by new business and the analysis of change in the value of inforce.” “B&W Deloitte reviewed the assumptions used in the calculation of the embedded value and the value added by new businesss for reasonableness based on the information available” “Based on our work and our validation report on the work carried out by KBC Insurance, we consider the embedded values, the value of new business and the analysis of the change in the value of in-force for the life business to be reasonable and suitable for inclusion as supplementary information to the Group’s consolidated accounts”

30. Cautionary Statements “The calculation of embedded values necessarily makes numerous assumptions with respect to economic conditions, operating conditions, taxes, and other matters, many of which are beyond the KBC’s control. Although the assumptions used represent estimates which KBC Insurance and B&W Deloitte believe are reasonable, actual future experience will vary from that assumed in the calculation of the embedded value results, and such variation may be material. Deviations from assumed experience are normal and are to be expected. Even without any change in perceived environments, and in parameters used to reflect them, actual results will vary from those projected due to normal random fluctuations. Consequently, the inclusion of the embedded value herein should not be regarded as a representation by B&W Deloitte that the stream of future after-tax statutory profits discounted to produce these values will be achieved. The embedded value presented in this report is based on common actuarial practice with regard to valuation methodology and assumptions. The values are calculated on a deterministic basis. Therefore they do not necessarily capture the cost of any investment guarantees. Our work has not considered the impact of alternative valuation methodologies such as fair values. “
