In accordance with the above-mentioned auditing standards, we considered the company's accounting system, as well as its internal control procedures. We have obtained from management and the company's officials, the explanations and information necessary for executing our audit procedures. We have examined, on a test basis, the evidence supporting the amounts included in the financial statements. We have assessed the appropriateness of accounting policies and the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates made by the company as well as the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that these procedures provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 give a true and fair view of the company's assets and liabilities, its financial position and the results of its operations in accordance with the financial reporting framework applicable in Belgium.
