Object of the independent aud itor's report

In accordance with the provisions of art. 113, section G, paragraph 6 of Regulation no. 1/2006 issued by the National Securities Commission (currently, the Financial Supervisory Authority ("the FSA")), and further to your request, we have been commissioned to report on the information included in the reports sent by Societatea de Investiții Financiare Moldova SA ("the Company") to the Bucharest Stock Exchange ("the BSE") and the FSA, listed in Appendix A hereto. Our report expresses a limited independent assurance conclusion, according to which, based on the procedures conducted, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the reported transactions included in Appendix A regarding the contracts concluded by the Company with directors, employees, subsidiaries, controlling shareholders, and related persons, are not in compliance, in all material respects, with art. 113, section G, paragraph 6 of Regulation no. 1/2006. The reports included in Appendix A have been drawn up by the Company's management in order to report to the FSA pursuant to the requirements of art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no.

1/2006, on the period for which the reporting was issued, i.e., 1 January 2017 - 30 June 2017. Responsibility of the Company's management

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of Appendix A, that is free from material misstatement, in accordance with art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 1/2006, and for the information presented therein. Such responsibility implies the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the information disclosed in Appendix A, that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Also, such responsibility implies the compliance with art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 1/2006 and keeping of proper supporting documents in relation to Appendix A. The Company's management is responsible for preventing and identifying fraud and ensuring that the Company complies with the legislation and regulations in force. The Company's management is responsible to make sure that the personnel in charge of drawing up the information included in Appendix A is properly trained.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to review the reported transactions presented by the Company in Appendix A and to report in the form of a limited independent assurance conclusion, based on the evidence obtained. Our engagement was undertaken in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, adopted by the Chamber of Financial Auditors of Romania. Such standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements, including independence requirements, and plan and perform our procedures so as to obtain adequate assurance that the transactions reported included in Appendix A, comply, in all material respects, with art. 113, letter G, paragraph 6 of Regulation no. 1/2006, as a basis for our independent limited assurance conclusion.

The procedures selected depend on our understating of the information contained in Appendix A and other circumstances of the engagement, as well as on our judgment of the areas that may show significant misstatements. In developing our understanding of the information included in Appendix A, we have considered the Company's internal control relevant for drawing up and presenting such information in accordance with art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 1/2006 in order to determine the relevant procedures in the given circumstances, and not for the purpose of expressing a conclusion of the efficiency of the Company's internal control in the drawing up and presentation of Appendix A and in carrying out the reported transactions.

A limited assurance engagement is less in scope than an absolute or reasonable assurance engagement. The evidence collection procedures for a limited assurance engagement is fewer than in the case of a reasonable assurance engagement. Therefore, the assurance obtained is more restrictive than in the case of a reasonable assurance engagement.

As part of this engagement, we have not conducted audit, review or verification procedures on the information included in Appendix A and the reported transactions in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards or International Standards on Assurance Engagements adopted by the Chamber of Financial Auditors of Romania, or on the sources from which the information included in Appendix A and the reported transactions included therein have been extracted. Our procedures have only been conducted in relation to Appendix A. We have not conducted additional procedures to verify whether Appendix A contains all the contracts concluded with directors, employees, controlling shareholders and related entities, which must be reported according to art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017, as subsequently amended.
