OVERVIEW OF KEY GROUP DATA FOR THE 1st HALF OF 2008 (IFRS*) In the 
first half of 2008, the Vienna Insurance Group achieved an excellent 
growth of 20.7 percent compared to the previous year, with 
consolidated premiums written (without other insurance participation)
at a total of EUR 4.22 billion.
Group profit (before taxes, consolidated) was also increased by a 
significant 33.9 percent to a total of EUR 288.34 million, which is 
up from the prior year by approx. EUR 73 million.
The combined ratio of the Group after reinsurance (without taking 
into account investment income) continues to show a positive trend, 
despite the damage incurred by the storms "Paula" and "Emma", and at 
95.9 percent  was kept stable compared to the 96 percent reported for
the previous year.
The financial results were at EUR 618.69 million in the first half of
the current year and are thus up 11.8 percent from the same period of
2007.
The final consolidation of insurers BA-CA Versicherung and Unita, 
which are in the process of being sold, lead to their deduction from 
the balance sheet and, consequently, to a decrease of the investment 
volume of the Group compared to 31 December 2007 by 10.3 percent to 
EUR 20.84 billion.
