1) In converting HRK financial data into US Dollars, the following average CNB
(NBH) rates were used: for FY 2006: 5.8358 HRK/USD, for FY 2007: 5.3635 HRK/USD,
both calculated as arithmetic mean.

2)INA Group net income attributable to equity holder.

Dr Tomislav Dragicevic, Chairman of INA, d.d. commented:

INA ended 2007 with EBITDA to HRK 2.8 billion and intensified activities in core
business segments. The upward trend in hydrocarbon production continued with
higher gas production in the Northern Adriatic and increased crude oil
production outside Croatia. Commercial discoveries claimed in Syria, the new gas
field at the border with Hungary and the joint exploration agreement signed with
INA's strategic partner  MOL confirm the successes in exploration. Major
agreements for procurement of plants in Rijeka refinery and finalisation of the
1st modernisation phase in Sisak refinery marked the Refinery modernisation
programme. INA remained the market leader on the Croatian market and increased
its market share in Bosnia & Herzegovina - the most significant export market.
Net profit of INA Group for 2007 was 1.6% down on 2006 as a result of higher
amount of corporate taxes.

Improved performance on operating profit level

In FY 2007, operating profit of INA Group increased by 5% to HRK 1,020 mill (USD
190 mill) in comparison with FY 2006. Increased natural gas production and
increased sales volumes of refined products together with increased gas sales
price  had a positive effect on the FY 2007 result, partially offset by the
increased depreciation charge. The net financial gain in FY 2007, mainly coming
from foreign exchange gains, decreased by 13.7% to HRK 113 mill compared to the
same period last year due to higher interest payable and other financial
payables.



•        Exploration & Production

The increase in the average daily hydrocarbon production continued in 2007
reaching 12.2%, in comparison with 2006.  Segment's operating profit increased
by HRK 422 mill to HRK 2,045 mill (USD 381 mill). Quarter-on-quarter operating
profit increased by HRK 254 mill reaching HRK 656 mill. The increase was mainly
due to the increase in gas production and lower gas imports. The negative impact
of the imposed cap on domestic gas prices was partly offset by higher prices for
two major customers. The increased volume of works provided by Crosco Group to
third parties reflected favourably in the results. The positive effects were
partially offset by higher depreciation charge.

•        Refining & Marketing

The Refining & Marketing segment contributed to the result of INA Group in 2007
with an operating profit of HRK 59 mill (USD 11 mill) which is a decrease of HRK
111 mill in comparison with 2006. 4Q 2007 result is HRK 306 mill down on the
same period 2006 (HRK 278 mill) due to the unfavourable impact of the price cap
(1) and lower intersegmental income resulting from damage compensation due to
lower quality of domestic feedstock measured through increased maintenance
costs, depreciation and asset value adjustment.(2)

•        Retail

The average throughput per site of 2,816 tones is in level with 2006 figure. The
number of petrol stations increased by 5 stations in Croatia, in line with INA's
new retail strategy. In 2007 the segment recorded HRK 90 mill loss (USD 17
mill), which is HRK 123 mill down on the 2006 result. Such downfall is the
result of HRK 132 mill lower result in 4Q 2007 compared to 4Q 2006 mainly due to
1.2% lower sales volume and 49% lower retail margin (total impact of HRK 114
mill, of which HRK 77 mill related to the negative effect of the price cap(3),
divided between Retail and R&M segments equally) and increased Opex and asset
value adjustment (IAS 36(4)).

•        Corporate and Other (5)

Segment's operating results in FY 2007 amounted to HRK (994) mill, or USD (185)
mill, HRK 142 mill up on the 2006 figure. Income from provided maintenance
services and other corporate support services decreased and the operating costs
increased (the increase was partially offset by lower controllable costs due to
OptINA efficiency improvement programme, while the other costs increased mainly
as a result of increased depreciation and provisions for enviromental protection
and incentives). Cost in 4Q 2007 decreased by HRK 56 mill.

•        Capital expenditures

Strictly controlled capital expenditures in 2007 amounted to  HRK 2,896 mill
(USD 540 mill), which is HRK 176 mill down on the same period 2006. Investments
decreased by 30% mainly due to putting in operation SAP project and costs
connected to finalization of the exploration phase on major Upstream projects.
Investment into property, plant and equipment decreased by 2%, mainly due to
lower costs on Upstream development projects, in line with the plans, offset by
the amount for acquisition of  Rotary, Hungary while ongoing R&M projects spent
HRK 147 mill more.

•        Operating cash flow

Operating Cash Flow before changes in working capital increased by 10% to HRK
2,636 mill compared to 2006 mainly due to the increased depreciation. The
changes in the working capital were mainly caused by the increase in
inventories, changes in trade receivables and trade payables, which decreased
the net cash flow from operating activity by HRK 52 mill. The capital
expenditures  of HRK 2,896 mill were financed from the increased indebtedness -
HRK 895 mill up on the figure as at 31 December 2006.





Overview of the environment





In 2007, the world economy was experiencing a strong but lower-than-expected
growth at the rate of 4.9 percent because of a considerable slowdown in Q4
caused by worsened conditions on the global financial market, mainly due to the
widening fallout from the US sub-prime mortgage crisis. The spillover effects,
followed by an equity markets sell-off, launched interest rate cutting
interventions led by central banks to help ease liquidity problems. The West
European countries and Japan saw a notable slowdown in growth with deteriorating
confidence indicators. Strong expansion, led by China and India, continued on
the emerging and developing markets boosted by growing domestic demand and
improving macroeconomic policies.



Crude oil prices (Brent FOB Med) had been continuously growing throughout the
year, from low 50 USD/barrel in January to almost 100 USD/barrel at the end of
the year reaching a record high of 96.2 USD in December. 2007 crude average
price stood at 72.67 USD per barrel, what was 11.56 per cent higher than the
2006 average of 65.14 USD/barrel. The increased demand caused by growing energy
needs of the developing markets (China and India) with high growth rates
combined with political uncertainty in the oil-producing countries was pushing
up the prices.



Crack spreads as quoted by Platt's (FOB Med - Italy) for 2007 went up compared
to 2006. The margin for the premium unleaded petrol (50ppm) rose by 15.1 per
cent (from 117.8 USD/t in 2006 to 135.6 USD/t in 2007) while the negative margin
for fuel oil of 3.5% decreased by 1 per cent (from -212.2 USD/t in 2006 to
-210.1 USD/t in 2007). The margin for gas oil EN590 50 PPM increased by 2.9 per
cent (from 107.5 USD/t in 2006 to 110.7 USD/t in 2007).





During 2007, the Croatian economy continued its strong growth reaching almost 6
per cent at the year-end. According to the data available for the first three
quarters, economic growth slowed in the second half of 2007 mainly due to a
slowdown in personal consumption and capital investments compared to the
beginning of the year.



Towards the year-end inflation sharply increased (as measured by the consumer
price index). During November and December, inflation rates reached 4.6 and 5.8
per cent respectively as opposed to the moderate year average of 2.9 per cent.
Higher year-end inflation was mainly driven by increased food, housing and
energy prices.



Since the beginning of the year the kuna appreciated 0.3% against the euro, i.e.
the euro rate declined from 7.35 HRK/EUR (31 Dec 06) to 7.33 HRK/EUR (31 Dec
07). In the same period, the rate of kuna against the US dollar rose by 10.6 %,
from 5.58 HRK/USD at the end of 2006 to 4.99 HRK/USD at the end of 2007. On
average kuna depreciated against the euro by 0.2% (from 7.32 HRK/EUR to 7.33 
HRK/EUR) while its rate against the US dollar appreciated strongly - by 8.1%
(from 5.84 HRK/USD to 5.36 HRK/USD).

The operating profit of the E&P segment in FY2007 amounted to HRK 2,045 mill,
which was an increase of HRK 422 mill in comparison with FY 2006.
Quarter-on-quarter, the operating profit increased by HRK 254 mill. The positive
impact of increased revenues due to higher average crude oil price (Brent FOB up
on the 2006 figure by 12%) and increased scope of Crosco Group activities for
external users was partially offset by higher depreciation and costs related to
increased scope of operator's services.

Average daily hydrocarbon production in FY 2007 increased by 12.2%, reaching
65.3 Mboe/day. The increase was mainly due to a 69% higher production on the
North Adriatic gas fields.



Average cost of production in FY 2007 increased by 9% to 9.7 USD/boe, primarily
due to strengthening of the Croatian kuna against US dollar (costs of domestic
production) and putting in operation new field in Egypt (increased costs with
lower initial production).

Average lifting cost amounted to 2.21 USD/boe in the FY 2007 compared to 1.67
USD /boe in 2006.



The impact of regulated natural gas prices on INA's domestic market continued to
have a negative effect on E&P segment profit. The average import price of
Russian natural gas for FY 2007 was 1.6768 HRK/Mcm/33.34 MJ, 5.2 % down compared
to prices in the FY period last year (mainly due to a weaker US dollar against
the HRK).

The Management successfully renegotiated the contractual terms of gas supply for
the  year 2007 with two major eligible customers - HEP and Petrokemija Kutina,
partially decreasing the negative effect of high import prices.

Upstream Capex decreased by HRK 188 mill and reached HRK 1,559 mill in FY 2007,
mostly due to finalization of exploration phases in North Adriatic and Syria and
lower investment  in development phases in North Adriatic according the PSA. HRK
639 mill was spent on projects in Croatia, of which the North Adriatic gas
project (HRK 256 mill) was the most significant. In FY 2007 a total of HRK 476
mill was invested into foreign concessions (major investments were in Syria -
HRK 278 mill, and Egypt - HRK 126 mill). Investment of HRK 444 mill refers to
procurement of plants and equipment and acquisition of Rotary Ztr. Hungary.



Proved reserves for 2007 amounted to 270.4 MMboe (an increase of 9.3 MMboe in
comparison with 2006) while proved and probable reserves decreased by 6.1 MMboe
to 375.1 MMboe.

Reserves replacement ratio was 141,0 % for proved reserves and 72,6% for proved
and probable reserves.

Operating profit of the R&M segment decreased by HRK 111 mill in comparison with
2006, resulting in HRK 59 mill operating profit for 2007. The positive effect of
the 2.5% increase in sales volume and 24.6%(6) higher average crack spread in
2007 offset mostly by higher maintenance costs and higher depreciation. In 4Q
the segment generated loss of HRK 28 mill (against the profit of HRK 278 mill in
4Q 2006). It was the result of increased maintenance operating costs (while
total maintenance were at  lower level), depreciation, asset value adjustment
(7), increased unfavourable impact of the price cap(8) and lower intersegmental
income resulting from damage compensation due to lower quality of domestic
condensate.



Total sales volumes increased by 2.5% (4,891 Kt) in FY 2007 in comparison with
FY 2006. Motor gasoline and diesel (EURO IV quality) sales increased by 19% (220
Kt), all from own production.



INA's strong market position continued in 2007 although its market share on the
Croatian wholesale market slightly declined from 79% in 2006 to 78%, but its
market share on the BiH market rose to 52%.



Capex increased by 16% to HRK 985 mill in FY 2007 in comparison with the FY 2006
figure, mostly due to Refinery modernisation programme which 1st phase is almost
fully contracted. Capital expenditure in the Refinery Modernisation Programme in
Sisak Refinery increased by HRK 75 mill. In Sisak refinery the Sulphur Recovery
Unit is in operation and construction of HDS FCC unit is in progress. The
contracts for Sulphur Recovery Unit,  Hydrocracking Complex and Hydrogen
Generation Unit in Rijeka refinery were signed and procedures are in progress in
order to obtain the necessary construction permits.

* Refers to Retail INA. d.d. and Petrol Rijeka



In FY 2007 the segment generated operating loss of HRK 90 mill (against HRK 33
mill operating profit in FY 2006) as a result of HRK 126 mill loss in 4Q 2007
mainly due to 1.2% lower sales volume,49% lower retail margin (negative effect
of the price cap was divided between Retail and R&M segments equally)(9) and
increased Opex and asset value adjustment (negative effect of IAS 36 on profit
due to the results of impairment calculation on petrol station assets).



As at 31 December 2007, 413 petrol stations were operated by INA's Retail
segment and 20 by the Company's fully owned subsidiaries in Croatia; in addition
43 petrol stations were operated in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) and 6 in
Slovenia. In comparison with the same period last year that is an increase of 5
petrol stations on the domestic market, in line with the implementation of INA's
new retail strategy.



Total retail sales volumes increased by 0.8% and the average throughput per site
(2,816 tones) is in level with 2006 figure.



Diesel and motor gasoline sales volumes increased by 1.4% in total (of which
diesel increased by 4.4% while motor gasoline decreased by 2.6%). Heating oil
sales volume decreased by 20.4% due to mild winter. The increase in sales of
lubricants and other products by 1.8% is a result of the increase in LPG sales
by 5.9%, and the decrease in sale of motor oils by 6.6% and industrial
lubricants by 3.3% due to strengthening of the competition.



Shop sales revenues increased by 5.9% in FY 2007. The gross margin per litre of
fuel sold on petrol stations increased by 6.1% in comparison with previous year.



Total purchase with INA Card - 23.0% of total sales is in level with 2006
figure.



CAPEX increased by HRK 95 mill to HRK 212 mill in FY 2007. The total of HRK 69
mill was invested in the construction of new stations and HRK 143 mill was
invested in the reconstruction of petrol stations, in line with the Company's
Retail strategy.




Financial overview

Changes in accounting policies and estimates

In the current year the Company and the Group have adopted all of the new and
revised Standards and Interpretations, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (IFRIC), relevant to their operations and effective for accounting
periods beginning on 1 January 2007: (MSFI 7 Financial instruments), as well as
the interpretations of IFRIC 7-10 effective as of year 2006.

The adoption of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not
affected Company's and Group's accounting policies.



Operations

In 2007 INA Group net sales revenues increased by 10% amounting to HRK 25.8
billion mainly due to the increase in sales volumes (2.5% refined products, 16%
natural gas and 20% crude oil(10)) and higher realized sales prices.



In 2007 INA continued to suffer the negative impact of the regulated natural gas
prices on the domestic market for not being able to pass the price of Russian
imported gas onto its customers.

The restriction on charging the maximum prices under the pricing formula for
retail products (due to the price cap) had a negative impact of HRK 260 mill on
the 2007 result.



The cost of raw materials and consumables increased by 7% in 2007 in comparison
with the last year, of which the cost of crude oil increased by 15% due to 11%
higher refined quantities and 4% higher prices. The cost of other goods sold
increased by 20% and amounted to HRK 4.9 billion. Service costs decreased by 1%
to HRK 3.8 billion. Depreciation increased by 35% to HRK 1.3 billion mainly due
to capitalized successful exploration works and decreased reserves on fields in
production. Adjustments and provisions decreased by 10% to HRK 481 mill. Total
staff costs increased by 8% including the average salary increase of 8,9%. The
closing headcount as at 31 December 2007 was 15,855 which is slightly less than
the closing headcount as at 30 December 2006 (15,873).



Net financial gains for 2007 decreased by 13.7% to HRK 113 mill in comparison
with the last year. The effect of increased foreign exchange gains of HRK 165
mill was offset by HRK 127 mill higher interest payable ( of which HRK 72 mill
for long term loans) and HRK 56 mill higher other financial expenses. Interest
payable for loans in 2007 amounted to HRK 280 mill compared to HRK 163 mill in
2006.



The corporate tax for 2007 increased by HRK 41 mill to HRK 262 mill mainly due
to higher Company's corporate profit.



Balance sheet

Total assets amounted to HRK 24.9 billion at the end of December 2007
representing an increase by 12% compared to the figure as at 31 December 2006.
Non-current tangible and intangible assets increased by 12% mainly due to
investments in development of gas and oil fields (North Adriatic, Syria and
Egypt), investments into refineries and modernization of retail network in
Croatia. Goodwill and investments increased by 32% (4% lower non-tangible assets
resulting from lower investments into exploration phase due to transition of
most significant oil and gas exploration projects into development phase, offset
by HRK 163 mill goodwill for the acquisition of Energopetrol (Bosnia and
Herzegovina) recorded in INA's books as of 29 March 2007). Investments in
associates and joint ventures and investments in other companies increased by
HRK 81 million of which the most significant was the acquisition of 33.5%
interest in Energopetrol. The increase in assets available for sale in the
amount of HRK 220 mill was mainly the result of an increase in market value of
Janaf d.d. shares. Deferred tax decreased by HRK 92 mill of which HRK 40 mill
refers to assets available for sale.

Inventories increased by 10% to HRK 3.1 billion primarily as a result of a
higher value of crude inventories (higher volumes and price) partially offset by
lower value of finished products and unfinished production.



Net trade receivables increased by 21% due to higher prices of oil products and
amounted to HRK 3.1 bilion.

As at 31 December 2007 INA Group's total liabilities increased by 20% compared
to 2006 amounting to HRK 11.3 billion. The increase in liabilities was the
effect of the increased long-term and short-term loans in total of HRK 4.9
billion in comparison with HRK 3.9 billion in 2006. Long-term provisions
increased by HRK 220 million to HRK 1.4 billion as at 31 December 2007 mainly
due to the increased provisions for decommissioning costs (HRK 127 mill) and
increased provisions for litigation costs (HRK 114 mill).



Total net debt of INA Group amounted to HRK 4.2 billion in comparison with HRK
3.3 billion at the end of 2006, while the net gearing ratio(11) increased from
20.5% at the end of 2006 to 23.5 % at the end of 2007.



Cash flow

Operating cash flow in 2007 was HRK 2,416 million, which is 69% up on the 2006
figure. Operating cash flow before movements in working capital increased by 10%
mainly as a result of higher depreciation.

The increase in working capital, resulting primarily from the changes in
receivables and trade payables of HRK 479 mill and HRK 860 mill, respectively
and increase in inventories of HRK 448 mill, decreased the funds by HRK 52 mill.
The lower amount of tax paid of HRK 168 mill was due to lower tax paid by INA,
d.d. (in 2006 commitments were paid for the previous period based on which high
monthly instalments were defined).



Net cash outflow for investing activities of HRK 2,884 mill decreased by 5% in
comparison with HRK 3,025 mill net cash in 2006. Total INA's net indebtedness
increased by HRK 895 mill.
