Consolidated Financial Statements
142 ANNUAL REPORT 2006 adidas Group
Executive Board Statement
The Executive Board of adidas AG is responsible for the compilation, completeness and accu-
racy of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements, the Group Management Report
and the other information presented in the annual report. The consolidated financial state-
ments 2006 were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union, and
the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315a section 1 German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch HGB). The Group Management Report additionally
complies with the requirements of the German Accounting Standard DRS 15.
To ensure accuracy and reliability of the underlying information, the content of the consolidated
financial statements is based on the information reported in accordance with Group-wide
guidelines which are consistent for all companies included in consolidation. The integrity of
the reporting process and risk management systems is safeguarded by internal control sys-
tems established under the direction of the Executive Board. These control systems form an
essential part of our value-oriented management style. As a consequence, a true and fair view
of the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows and its reporting thereon
is assured and the Executive Board is in a position to recognize potential investment risks and
negative developments at an early stage and take appropriate countermeasures.
In accordance with the resolution adopted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting
in 2006, KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungs-
gesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, was appointed by the Supervisory Board as independent
auditor to audit the financial statements and consolidated financial statements and the
management reports. The Supervisory Board examined and discussed the financial state-
ments and consolidated financial statements, including the management reports, as well
as the audit reports at its meeting on the annual financial statements. The results of these
reviews are described in the Supervisory Board Report.
