PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

For Asseco Poland, the past year was a period of many challenges and continuing efforts for the development of our business. Hence, it is a great pleasure to inform you that we managed to achieve our goals set for 2014.

Net profit increased from PLN 280.3 million in 2013 to PLN 290.3 million for the full year. The company’s profitability improved and the margins of profit stabilized at a higher level.

During the past year, we made a good progress in the general business sector. In the telecommunications market, we further developed our cooperation with strategic customers and began the implementation of new projects. We also strengthened our position in the energy market. This industry appreciated the quality of solutions and services offered by Asseco Poland, and in particular our new product called AUMS (Asseco Utility Management Solutions).

We are pleased with our position in the banking and finance sector. In 2014, we continued to develop IT systems for our key clients and launched new solutions and functionalities. Moreover, we have increased our presence among cooperative banks by providing them

with state-of-the-art solutions for online banking and security. We have high hopes for our new banking and finance products, namely UFE (Universal Front End) and CBP (Customer Banking Platform). These systems make it easy to implement the strategy of omni-channel banking which is currently very popular among financial institutions. In response to the needs of capital market institutions, we developed innovative solutions to enable mobile trading.

We have been pretty successful in the public institutions sector as well. Despite amendments to some of our ongoing contracts and a limited number of new tenders in this sector, we managed to achieve our target results.

Last year we expanded our cooperation with such important clients as the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) and the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR). We recorded a significant growth in the medical sector, where more than 130 healthcare centers have already implemented our latest system AMMS (Asseco Medical Management Solutions). We have successfully completed the implementation of our earlier projects, including the Subcarpathian Medical Information System.

Asseco’s development and experience have been well recognized by the market. We are constantly the largest IT company in Poland. We hold a high 40th position in the Rzeczpospolita 500 List of the largest companies operating in Poland.

Asseco advanced in the ranking of the biggest firms in Central and Eastern Europe as prepared by Deloitte and also won recognition in the International Champion competition organized by PwC.

Thanks to our solid fundamentals and improving financial results, we were once again able to share our success with the company’s shareholders by distributing PLN 215.8 million in dividends in 2014.

I am proud to emphasize that we are one of the leaders of the Polish capital market that pay out dividends on a regular basis, having spent more than PLN 830 million for that purpose during the past five years alone.

The success of Asseco would not be possible without the ongoing commitment of all of our employees and the trust of our customers. On behalf of the whole management team, I would like to express our genuine gratitude to all the people that support the development of Asseco.

With best regards,

Adam Góral

GENERAL INFORMATION ON ASSECO POLAND S.A.

Asseco Poland S.A.

Asseco Poland S.A. (the “Company”, “Asseco”) is the largest Polish information technology company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE ticker: ACP). With a market capitalization exceeding PLN 4.1 billion (or nearly EUR 1 billion), the Company is included in the prestigious WIG20 index. It is also the largest company listed in the IT industry index, WIG-Info, accounting for over 50% of its value.

Asseco Poland is a unique combination of a software house and a service provider. The Company is a producer of state-of-the-art software that supports mission-critical business processes of enterprises in all key sectors of the Polish economy. Asseco’s software applications are used by more than half of Polish banks, the largest insurance, energy and telecommunications companies, miscellaneous healthcare institutions, local and central public administration bodies, as well as by the uniformed services.

Over the twenty years of persistent implementation of our development strategy, which focuses on gaining expertise and development of proprietary software, we have become a leader in the Polish information technology market and accumulated the necessary potential to build a global company.

Directions of development

Our mission is to build a reliable and profitable global information technology company providing high quality software and services.

The strategy of Asseco Poland is based on two pillars. The first is organic growth which is achieved through proprietary software and services, whereas the second one involves expansion through acquisitions.

Organic growth

Asseco strategy relies on sector-specific business expertise, which is supported by technological competence. The Company builds long-term trust-based relationships with customers, becoming their strategic business partner. Asseco leverages on the vast experience of its international affiliated companies to create a comprehensive portfolio of products satisfying the needs of thousands of its customers. The Company wants to be perceived as a ‘one-stop shop’ and therefore, in addition to its own IT solutions and services, it also delivers infrastructure necessary for the proper operation of business applications.

Expansion through acquisitions

Asseco is interested in taking over companies that will either enhance its competence in individual sectors or provide an opportunity to enter new geographical markets. Asseco Poland has successfully implemented its acquisitions policy for many years, and nowadays is one of the most experienced market consolidators in Poland.

Asseco Poland values – our source code

The Company has come up with its own “source code” that lists the common values of Asseco. These values have been devised by all of our employees and are recorded in a formal document, which is effective across our organization.

Commitment – we are fully committed to each and every project and the success of our clients is our greatest satisfaction

Respect – we require trust, honesty and mutual respect both from ourselves and from others

Quality – we always maintain high quality standards in all of our activities

Professionalism – we continually upgrade our qualifications and are willing to share experience

Effectiveness – we are ambitious and consistent in striving to achieve our goals

Responsibility – we take full responsibility for our work and environment in which we operate

Information technology market and its future outlook

Development prospects of the IT market

According to Gartner’s latest forecasts, in 2015 the global IT industry will grow by 2.4% to reach the total value of USD 3,828 billion. The most dynamic growth is anticipated in the enterprise software market, by 5.5% (to the level of USD 335 billion). The computer hardware market is seen to expand by 5.1% (to USD 732 billion), whereas IT services by 2.5% (to USD 981 billion). Analysts estimate that spending for Data Center systems will increase by 1.8% (to USD 143 billion). The slowest pace of growth is expected in telecommunication services, by 0.7% (to USD 1,638 billion). Gartner assumes that 2015 will bring continued downward pressure on prices and further consolidation of vendors, especially in the segment of cloud-based software.

Forecast of IT spending in 2015 (in USD billions)

Computer hardware 732 5.1%

Data Center systems 143 1.8%

IT Market in Poland

As presented by Computerworld magazine in their latest TOP200 ranking, according to IDC estimates, in 2013 the Polish information technology market expanded by 17% and was worth PLN 92.8 billion. Revenues of IT companies alone reached PLN 50.5 billion, accounting for over a half of the total market value, whereas sales of telecom companies amounted to PLN 42.3 billion. Hence, it was one of the best periods for the industry in recent years. Following the crisis of 2008-2009, the IT sector managed to grow by almost 8% per annum.

The largest customers for IT services and products are still public institutions and telecom companies. Each of them spent approx. PLN 2.58 billion for that purpose in 2013. Sales to small and middle-sized enterprises as well as to the banking sector were not much lower, amounting to PLN 2.55 billion and PLN 2.26 billion, respectively.

However, the fastest growth was observed in the utilities sector (excluding the energy industry), where IT spending, according to Computerworld, increased to PLN 0.32 billion or by 95% in comparison to 2012.

These estimates take into account all new companies that were just included in the ranking.

High revenue growth was achieved also in the healthcare sector (an increase by 76% to PLN 0.44 billion) as well as in the energy industry alone (an increase by 75% to PLN 0.85 billion).

EBITDA 300.6 315.4 (4.7%)

Net profit 290.3 280.3 3.60%

EBITDA = EBIT + depreciation and amortization

In 2014, the Company’s sales revenues dropped by 7.5% as compared with those of 2013. Such a decrease resulted, among others, from lower sales of hardware and infrastructure which amounted to PLN 136.1 million in 2014 as compared with PLN 189.1 million in 2013.

General and administrative expenses incurred in 2014 were PLN 5 million lower than in 2013.

Net profit increased by 3.6%. This was achieved owing to lower financial expenses, as we did not recognize any impairment charges on financial assets, as well as higher financial income resulting basically from the reversal of allowances for commercial papers and other receivables from Prokom Investments as such receivables have been settled by Prokom.

The table below presents the amounts of sales revenues and operating profit generated during the last five years.

Operating profit margin 18.2% 17.9% 1.6%

Net profit margin 22.0% 19.6% 12.0%

In 2014, the Company managed to improve its EBITDA margin to 22.8%, operating profit margin to 18.2%, as well as its net profit margin to the level of 22.0%.

Such favourable results were achieved primarily due to greater control of the Company’s costs and new business projects.

The Company achieved net cash inflows from operating activities amounting to PLN 207.8 million as well as from investing activities amounting to PLN 50.7 million. We were less active in the market of mergers and acquisitions, hence our M&A expenditures decreased substantially in comparison to the previous year.

In 2014, the Company increased the amount of dividend payment to PLN 215.8 million, of which PLN 92 million or over 42% came from dividends received from our subsidiaries.

In 2014, the Company continued to cooperate with its major clients and, concurrently, developed its flagship banking system – def3000. At Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, we completed, ahead of the scheduled deadline, the first stage of the Public Finance

Consolidation project and modified the def3000/TR system for their Treasury Department. Our projects for other banking institutions included implementations of the seizure processing system (def3000/SP) and e-banking system (def3000/REB-LT). The Company also performed further orders for the largest Polish bank – PKO BP, under the agreement for their Integrated Information System (IIS).

The def3000/TR system won recognition from international IT market analysts and, as the only Polish product, was placed in the “Magic Quadrant for Trading Platforms”, a prestigious report published by Gartner research and advisory firm. Asseco’s def3000/TR (Treasury) solution met the strict evaluation criteria imposed on IT systems included in the report.

Another important achievement of 2014 was to complete the development of the first version of def3000/UFE – Universal Front End system. Universal Front End is a fully flexible system which allows to implement the strategy of omni-channel banking by integrating the bank’s existing systems into a uniform, ergonomic and user-friendly working environment, available both on desktop computers and mobile devices.

During the past year, the Company completed a number of projects in the area of innovative internet and mobile banking. We successfully implemented a new version of the online banking system for corporate and public finance clients at Bank Ochrony Środowiska, as well as the second version of the ING BankOnLine system at ING Bank Śląski. We also launched the eBGŻ Lite mobile banking system at Bank Gospodarki Żywnościowej.

Moreover, the Company reinforced its position among cooperative banks. We implemented the def3000/suite system for a new client, namely Cooperative Bank in Wronki. Asseco def3000 systems

have been also deployed, among others, at Poznański Cooperative Bank and Podkarpacki Cooperative Bank. We also completed the development of a new module, namely def3000/cIRM – Prudential Reporting. In order to upgrade the functionality of the Internet Services Centre, we provided modern tokens for authentication of transactions conducted over the Internet. Moreover, we launched the Asseco VAMM platform at 60 cooperative banks, enabling their customers to receive bank account information through SMS messages. Our past actions and support for Polish cooperative banking have been recognized by the National Association of Cooperative Banks, which honoured Adam Góral, President of Asseco Poland, with the Golden Cross of Franciszek Stefczyk.

Furthermore, the Company was actively engaged in the development of IT infrastructure for the Polish capital market and helped to upgrade it to the latest world standards. We implemented an innovative mobile application for the clients of mBank Brokerage House – mDM iPad, which is one of the first stock trading apps for Apple devices available in Poland. We managed to complete the development of the PROMAK RNZ system enabling the clients of a brokerage house to invest money in foreign markets, as well as PROMAK TE allowing to use the stock trading platform on tablets.

In 2014, the Company effectively continued and expanded its cooperation with the insurance industry clients. We signed a new maintenance agreement with AIG and concurrently modified the Ins.MR insurance reporting system. Moreover, we concluded a framework agreement to provide IT services for the headquarters of Allianz in Germany. Asseco Poland carried out further projects for the largest and oldest insurance company in Poland – PZU, including the implementation of the fourth stage of centralization and standardization of accounting processes at PZU and PZU Life. We also integrated the PZU’s Target Policy Administration System with the Oracle accounting system, and completed the project of automation of their compensation management processes which contributed to increased work efficiency.

Public Administration

Asseco Poland is one of the leading providers of software for the sector of public institutions. In 2014, the Company expanded cooperation with its key clients and signed a number of new contracts.

We successfully performed further work under the framework agreement for the Comprehensive Information System (CIS) at the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS). Last year, one of the most important

and challenging projects was to adapt this system to changes resulting from the new Act on Open Pension Funds (OFE). Other modifications of the system were related to the new templates of PIT (personal income tax) form as well as to the amended rules of data exchange between ZUS and the Ministry of Finance. Due to a lower demand for the CIS development services, the Company has reorganized its team of specialists responsible for working with this client.

In 2014, the Company signed a new agreement for the development, maintenance and integration of the Workflow System at the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) over a period of 48 months, with a total gross value exceeding PLN 24 million. Moreover, we signed and commenced a new contract for the maintenance and development of an IT system intended to support the management of insurances and short-term benefits at KRUS. This two-year contract is worth nearly PLN 60 million (gross). We also successfully completed the period of transition under the contract for maintenance of AIS (Agency Information System) performed in favour of the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR). Hence, the team of Asseco started to provide maintenance and modification services for this system on its own.

The Company achieved dynamic growth in the market for healthcare systems. Thanks to the newly signed contracts, today more than 130 hospitals and

healthcare centers use our latest system called AMMS (Asseco Medical Management Solutions). During the last year, this system was enriched with additional functionalities and modules. We also successfully developed the Subcarpathian Medical Information System and provided high-quality equipment and software for the Regional Blood Donation and Hemotherapy Centers.

In 2014, Asseco gained another important client in the public administration sector, namely the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE).

General Business

In 2014, we carried out significant contracts and projects especially in the sectors of telecommunications and energy. The Company signed a contract for further development of a proprietary IT solution of Cyfrowy Polsat Group (Polkomtel), which is used for distribution of their products and services. This task involves the modification of 50 software systems and is performed by more than 200 people. This is the next project building up our cooperation with that client – in the previous year, we redesigned the www.plus.pl web portal and store owned by Polkomtel, the operator of Plus mobile network, as well as launched Asseco Utility Management Solutions (AUMS) to support their electricity distribution operations. The Company also continued its close cooperation with Orange Poland within their Vendors Consolidation project. We completed the migration of several million individual customers of fixed-line telephony and Internet into a new billing system maintained by the team of Asseco Poland.

Orange Poland has also deployed the AUMS system to support their sales of electricity. This is yet another large telecommunications player that decided to provide energy distribution services with the help of AUMS.

Apart from Orange Poland, the AUMS system has been implemented for one of the biggest energy companies in Poland, namely Enea Centrum of the Enea Group, where Asseco’s system will be expanded to serve as their main customer service platform. Moreover, the Company entered into an agreement with the Ethiopian Information Network Security Agency (INSA) to jointly execute a project of building a modern energy market in Ethiopia. This contract is worth over PLN 29.9 million. The system will be created based on Asseco’s proprietary AUMS software as well as extensive know-how in IT solutions for the energy sector.

Non-recurring events with impact on our financial performance

During the period of 12 months ended 31 December 2014, the financial results were affected by the following one-time events.

Opinion on feasibility of investment plans

Asseco Poland S.A. pays its trade payables, settles the state obligatory charges, and fulfils its investment obligations on a timely basis. We maintain loan facilities at various banks in order to diversify our sources of financing. The Company pays its liabilities from current operating revenues which may be supplemented with third-party financing, in the form of short-term bank overdraft facilities, bank term loans, borrowings, or capital contributions.

Asseco Poland S.A. in the capital market

In 2014, the price of Asseco Poland shares performed much better than the index of blue chips WIG20 and the broad market measured by WIG index. Over this period, the Company’s shares appreciated by 12.3%, while both WIG20 and WIG indices declined by 4.7% and 0.9%, respectively. The information technology industry index, WIG-Info, also recorded a decrease of 0.8% in the past year.

Last year the Polish capital market was affected by both economic and political factors. The reform of the Act on Open Pension Funds (OFE) resulted in a reduced demand for stocks from pension funds. The demand from institutional investors was also limited due to a small inflow of new money into equity investment funds.

On the other hand, the stock market was supported by decisions of the Monetary Policy Council that cut the Polish interest rates to a record low level.

Another important factor with impact on stock prices on the Warsaw Stock Exchange was the conflict in the east of Europe which increased the investment risk in the region.

The market valuation of Asseco Poland might have been also affected by the distribution of a dividend for 2013 which amounted to PLN 2.60 per share.

Report on Operations of Asseco Poland S.A. for the year ended 31 December 2014

Discussion of significant risk factors and threats

Risk related to intensified competition

Business operations of Asseco Poland are under the pressure of intense competition both from local players and international IT corporations. Competitors with global reach are getting continually stronger as they have got faster access to innovative technological solutions, but also to cheaper sources of funds which makes it possible to finance large contracts more efficiently. It is not certain whether the increasing competition will have no significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, financial results and future development outlook.

Risk related to technological changes in the industry and development of new products

The IT sector is characterized by rapid development of new solutions and technologies, which shorten the lifecycle of products. Therefore, the future success of Asseco Poland will largely depend upon our capability to incorporate the latest technological solutions into our products and services. In order to maintain the competitive advantage in this market, it is necessary to conduct research work and to invest in new products. Asseco keeps on monitoring the present information technology trends and develops and upgrades its business offer accordingly. However, there is still a risk that the market will receive new products, which will cause our products and services to become less attractive, and eventually not as profitable as expected. Additionally, it cannot be taken for granted that the new solutions which are, or will be, created or developed by Asseco will satisfy the technological requirements, and whether they will be accepted positively by their potential users. Such circumstances might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk related to market saturation

Technological saturation that begins to emerge in the Polish banks and private enterprises may prompt them to focus their strategies on smaller or mid-size IT projects that would address their current needs only. Such circumstances might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk related to consolidation of the banking sector

The banking and finance sector is the place of ongoing consolidation processes. There is a risk that consolidators of this sector will force the acquired financial institutions to use their global IT solutions, which may slow down the process of gaining new contracts or even result in termination of already concluded contracts. Such circumstances might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk related to carrying out of public tenders

Delays in finalization of the tendering procedures for delivery of IT infrastructure for the public administration may result in unstable revenues from this sector. If combined with unsatisfactory utilization of the EU funds granted for improving innovation at public offices, this might substantially reduce the local demand for IT services and thereby exert a negative impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk involved in gaining new contracts

It is characteristic of the IT business that most of contracts of Asseco Poland are awarded under tendering procedures. Therefore, it is not certain that the Company will be able to gain such new contracts that would ensure sufficiently high and satisfactory revenues in the future. These factors might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk related to the macroeconomic situation of Poland

Development of the IT services sector is closely correlated to the overall economic prosperity. The main factors affecting the financial results of Asseco Poland include the pace of GDP growth, value of public orders for IT solutions, level of capital expenditures made by enterprises, inflation rate, and foreign currency exchange rates versus the Polish zloty.

26

Risk of becoming dependent on the key customers

The implementation of contracts with key clients will heavily impact the level of sales revenues generated by Asseco Poland in the coming years. It cannot be precluded that a potential loss of any major client, deterioration in the financial terms for provision of services, or potential compensatory claims would have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk of increasing cost of work

Salaries account for over 70% of the project implementation costs. Taking into account such high human resource requirements, an increase in salaries would squeeze the margins achieved on projects, and consequently have an unfavourable impact on the financial results of Asseco Poland S.A.

In order to manage the risk of higher cost of work, the Company takes a number of measures which can help reduce potential negative effects of rising salaries. Among other things, Asseco (i) employs people in many geographical regions aiming to diversify that risk, (ii) continually monitors the level of salaries in the market not to be taken by surprise, and (iii) tries to maintain an appropriate structure of employment within particular levels of competence.

Risk of changes in regulations and their interpretation

Frequent amendments, lack of cohesion and uniform interpretations of the provisions of law, concerning in particular the tax regulations, banking law, insurance law (inclusive of social insurance), public procurement law, personal data protection law, regulations pertaining to trading in securities and public offering, and commercial companies law, give rise to the regulatory risk occurring in the environment in which Asseco Poland operates. The tax regulations and their interpretations are more than others prone to numerous changes. Practices of the internal revenue administration and the court judicature are not uniform in this domain. In the event the taxation authorities take a position that is different from our interpretation of tax regulations, the operations, financial position and financial results of Asseco may be exposed to negative consequences thereof. Such risk may be materializing especially due to potential doubts expressed by the taxation authorities over the transactions the Company conducts with its related parties. This might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.

Risk of losing the clients’ trust

Operations of Asseco Poland S.A. are to a large extent based on the customers' trust. Implementation of an IT system, which has critical importance for the customer’s business, usually results in signing a long-term agreement with the system user. The quality of solutions and services provided to such clients determines their confidence in the Asseco brand. In the event the quality of delivered products and services was poor, our customers might lose their trust in Asseco, which might hurt our reputation in the market and make it impossible to continue successful business operations.

Risk of underestimation of the project cost

Most of Asseco’s profits are derived from the execution of complex information technology projects carried out under long-term agreements with a predefined remuneration. Implementation of such projects requires very good planning both in terms of the schedule of work and the resources needed to provide the promised scope of the contract. Here the Company follows complex procedures, which on one hand facilitate the process of preparation of reliable plans and on the other hand prevent the incurrence of unexpected costs.

In order to manage the risk of the project cost underestimation, Asseco Poland applies the methods (either based on the world recognized standards or proved by own experience) for estimation of the project costs, preparation of work schedules, and identification of risks that may hinder timely, professional or financial performance under a contract.

Risk of concluding a contract with a dishonest customer

Asseco is exposed to the risk of defaulting contractors. This risk is connected firstly with the financial credibility and good will of customers to whom the Company provides its IT solutions, and secondly with the financial credibility of contractors with whom supply transactions are concluded.

Hence, the risk control measures usually consist in monitoring the timely execution of bank transfers and, if needed, sending a reminder of outstanding payment. In the case of smaller clients, it is quite helpful to monitor their industry press as well as to analyze previous experience gathered by ourselves and by our competitors, etc.

27

Risk of inability to effectively integrate the taken-over companies or to achieve the intended rates of return on acquisitions or investments

Asseco Poland implements the strategy of development, among others, through acquisitions of or capital investments in IT companies. Valuation of the future acquisitions or investments will depend on the market conditions as well as on other factors beyond the Asseco’s control. It cannot be entirely precluded that the investor company may be unable to accurately estimate the values of undertaken acquisitions or investments. There is also a risk that earnings generated by the acquired or investee companies fall short of the initial estimates which might prevent us from achieving the rates of return that were originally expected from such transactions.

Risk related to losing the key personnel

The Company’s operations and development outlook depend to a large extent on the knowledge, experience and professional qualifications of its employees, who implement the IT projects. A substantial demand for IT specialists and the competitors' activities may induce the key personnel to leave our organization, and also make it quite difficult to recruit new employees with suitable knowledge, experience and professional qualifications. Still there is a risk that resignation by the key personnel would have a negative impact on the execution of IT contracts conducted by the Company, as well as on ensuring the required quality and range of services provided. This in turn might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco Poland S.A.

Risk of data leakage

As a result of deliberate actions of third parties or dishonest employees, as well as mistakes or carelessness of our employees or contractors, confidential data of the Company or of our clients may be disclosed to unauthorized persons. Such circumstances might have an adverse impact on the perception of Asseco by our clients, and consequently on the Group’s operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development.

Risk of property damage

As a result of abuse or errors committed by employees of Asseco, the Company may suffer damage to its property. Such circumstances might have an adverse impact on the Group’s financial condition and business continuity, and consequently on the Company’s operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development.

Personnel policy risk

Asseco Poland may incur costs in connection with legitimate or illegitimate claims filed by its employees on the grounds of discrimination, working conditions, etc. Such circumstances might have a significant adverse impact on the operations, financial position, financial results and prospective development of Asseco.
