Interim / Quarterly Report

In the first half of 2017, the business development of the Daldrup Group was characterised by the existing large-scale geothermal drilling projects in Belgium and Germany and by the forthcoming commissioning of the Landau and Taufkirchen power plants.
The total operating performance of around EUR 23 million and the operating result (EBIT) of EUR 0.5 million are correspondingly satisfactory. The slightly higher cost trend compared to the same period of the previous year is in line with the increase in operating expenses as part of the busier drilling activity. Other operating income did not play a part. In the second half of the year, the positive development of the geothermal energy business unit continues dynamically. The business units of Raw Materials & Exploration, EDS and Water Procurement also showed pleasing development and were working at very high capacity due to orders. The demand for geothermal drilling from Germany and Central Europe continues to be buoyant in the second half of the year. Our order backlog is more than EUR 75 million. This means that capacities will be fully utilised up until 2019.
The first trials of the geothermal power plant in Landau were exercised at the end of September. That is a milestone. After three and a half years, electricity is finally being generated again. During this time, we have upgraded the power plant where necessary and installed state-ofthe-art safety systems. In particular, however, we have had to deal with the authorities and politics. It seemed that their overriding principles over long periods were delay and non-decision. After the test operating phase, which is scheduled until the end of November, we want to go into regular operation as soon as possible. From today's perspective, we expect regular revenue contributions from the electricity sales of the power plant for 2018.
For the geothermal power plant in Taufkirchen, too, the trial operation of the electricity generation unit also stands out. In the coming days, we expect the installation of the heat exchanger. As things stand today, we can then begin production of electricity in regular operation from Spring 2018, when the heating period in which we give priority to heat feeding expires.
Our order books in all four business units are well filled and we have promising projects for geothermal drilling and turnkey heating and cogeneration plants in the pipeline. With this in mind, we are confident that we will be able to reach our annual forecast for 2017 with a total operating performance of around 40 million euros and an EBIT margin of 2 % to 5 %.
Yours sincerely and "Glück auf"!

for the first half of the fiscal year 1 January to 30 June 2017
Daldrup & Söhne AG, a company whose history goes back decades, is one of the leading providers of drilling and environmental services, deep geothermal power plant projects and, through its Group companies, power plant operators in Germany and in Central Europe. The Company's activities are organised into the business units of Geothermics, Raw Materials & Exploration, Water Procurement as well as Environment, Development & Services (EDS). As a result of building up strategic investments and partnerships, the Daldrup Group AG now occupies all positions in the value chain for geothermal projects.
In Bavaria it holds permits for the exploration of geothermal energy in several particular area (claims), develops the claims through to drill readiness, executes the drillings, constructs the power plants and takes care of energy contracting and power plant operations.
The aim of the Daldrup Group is to promote and drive forward the development of energy supplies using renewable energy sources in order to provide a competitive, climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels, the world's primary energy source.
The Daldrup Group's range of services enables it to offer turnkey geothermal energy power plant projects at a fixed price "from a single source".
Project development
The products and services of the Daldrup Group can be summarised on two levels: One level relates to Daldrup & Söhne AG with its direct equity investments. The second level pools the activities of Geysir Europe GmbH, a subgroup within the Daldrup Group.
The company operations of Daldrup & Söhne AG include the Geothermal Energy, Raw Materials & Exploration, Water Procurement and Environment, Development & Services (EDS) business units. Information on the business units is available on pages 20 to 23 of the 2016 Annual Report.
In the first half of 2017 the Daldrup Group employed 110 employees (31/12/2016: 108). In addition to this, other companies made up to about 30 further employees available to Daldrup & Söhne AG on a flexible basis.
The competitive position of Daldrup & Söhne AG is fully consolidated by the long-standing market presence, the experienced management team, the competence, the possession of claims, the financial strength and the many existing reference sites with drilling depths of up to 6000 metres.
High technical, financial and regulatory / administrative barriers to market entry as well as the limited availability of qualified drilling capacity by companies with sufficient experience with geothermal drilling and the limited amount of claims (drilling rights) in Germany all underline the good position of Daldrup & Söhne AG. In addition, the Company has a healthy order book in all business units, which guarantees capacity utilisation and planning security until 2019.
Further information is presented in the 2016 Annual Report on pages 24 to 29.
Through sustainable growth, Daldrup & Söhne AG intends to expand its leading market position in Germany and Europe as an experienced drilling technology specialist. The Company is now also engaged in geothermal power plant projects to generate additional revenue from supplying the grid and the sale of electricity and heat through feed-in tariffs and/or direct marketing premiums of the EEC. The two objectives are closely linked strategically. The medium-term goal is to develop the Daldrup Group into a medium-sized independent energy supply company.
Decisive steps in this direction were already taken in 2009 and 2010 in the form of a majority holding in Geysir Europe GmbH, Grünwald. Through this investment Daldrup acquired both geothermal expertise along the value chain and claims for geothermal development. The
Group launched its first geothermal power plant project in Taufkirchen, near Munich. The thermal water well system was successfully created in 2012 with a thermal capacity of approx. 38 MW. Since the end of 2015, heat directed from the new cogeneration plant has been fed into the district heating networks of the customers. The commissioning of the power generating unit is scheduled for the end of 2017 following the delivery and installation of the first of two heat exchangers. After completion of commissioning and acceptance of the geothermal power plant, the plant shall become the property of GeoEnergie Taufkirchen GmbH & Co. KG.
In July 2016 the Rhineland Palatinate state authority for geology and mining (LGB) extended the permit for the main operating plan of geox GmbH, operator of the Landau geothermal energy power plant; in August 2017, the permit was granted for the special operating plan for the "construction / overhaul and re-commissioning of the machinery of the primary circulation system of the Landau geothermal power plant for geothermal heat generation". The Office has stated that it will approve the re-commissioning of the power plant for the generation of electricity as soon as the final maintenance and modernisation work has been completed and the corresponding acceptance tests and documentation pursuant to the special operating plan have been provided. The trial operation is expected to begin at the end of September 2017. Daldrup will then strive to move quickly into regular operation.
In the first quarter of 2017, the administrative court of Freiburg rejected the complaint lodged by the City of Kehl about the geothermal power plant in Neuried. Geysir Europe has relaunched the approval process.
In conjunction with the city of Puchheim a heating plant is planned. Numerous preparations have been successfully launched. The planned schedule is to drill for thermal water for the first time in 2018. The heating plant is expected to provide a thermal output of 4.4 MW. A contract for the supply of district heating with Bayernwerk Natur is already in place.
The purpose of Daldrup & Söhne AG's long-term equity investments and strategic partnerships is the direct and active pursuit of the corporate objectives, from establishing its market position as a drilling technology specialist to the development and implementation of its own deep geothermal energy projects, right through to the marketing of electricity and / or heat. In this respect, Daldrup & Söhne AG will benefit from the forecast growth in the market / sector.
Further information on the chapters Strategy, Objectives and Corporate Management as well as Equity Investments and Strategic Partnerships can be found in the 2016 Annual Report on pages 30 and 31.
The Daldrup Group continues to regard itself as a technological pioneer in deep geothermal energy and also intends to take up the technical challenges presented by petrothermal geothermal energy of EGS in future. Daldrup actively pursues research and development, for example in the area of modularised power plants.
Daldrup & Söhne AG received from the Leibniz Institute of Applied Geophysics (LIAG) within the context of the "Dolomitkluft" research project a research-supporting assignment for almost one million euros. The aim of the research project is to explore the high temperature ranges in the geological layers. This project has now been successfully completed.
The economic dynamism of the German economy increased in the first half of 2017. According to the forecast published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) at the beginning of September 2017, a somewhat weaker dynamic in consumer spending has been overcompensated by brisk foreign business and more attractive investments. According to the Kiel experts, investments in construction have also increased at high rates in light of advantageous conditions such as the favourable financing conditions.
The economic researchers at the IfW are predicting a sustained economic recovery for the euro area in the first half of the year. It is supported in nearly all euro member states by a slightly expansive fiscal policy and low interest rates. After a somewhat restrained start to the year, world production has rebounded in the second quarter of 2017. According to economic experts, the economy has been on the upside for the first time in almost all major economies.
The demand for projects for the use of geothermal energy for electricity and heat supply has been very brisk in Central Europe in the last quarters. In addition to a low interest rate, the conditions for financing in some countries also provide investors with important incentives and a secure framework. The EEG 2017 (German Renewable Sources Act) and the market incentive programme are examples for Germany. There is investment and legal certainty for current and planned projects for the next few years until 2021 and the subsidy remains stable at 25.2 cents per kWh. This means that the remuneration of geothermal energy will not be determined in the future by tenders. Policies have also recognised the advantages of geothermal energy for the upcoming electricity market 2.0.
Geothermal power plants provide predictable energy independent of weather and times of day and thus fulfil a stabilising system function. In addition, the high regional electricity need coincides with the regions suitable for deep geothermal systems in the Upper Rhine Valley, the North German Basin and the Bavarian Molasse. Geothermal power can be produced where it is needed and does not rely on cross-regional power lines. This system-stabilising role was confirmed by the EEG amendment.
For Daldrup & Söhne AG, the course of business in the first half-year of 2017 was characterised by existing, large-scale drilling contracts in Belgium and Germany. The Raw Materials & Exploration, EDS and Water Procurement business units were also working at high capacity from orders. The demand situation continues to be brisk. Daldrup has also received other major orders, meaning that the order backlog rose to around EUR 65 million at the end of May 2017. The clients are both German companies as well as companies from Switzerland, Poland and the Benelux countries. These also include an order from Stadtwerke München (SWM) for the drilling of two doublets (four deep wells) for the funding of geothermal energy in the amount of a double-digit million figure. This is one of the largest contracts in the company's history. The first preparatory works have already begun. The boreholes are part of the SWM's District Heating Vision: Munich is aiming to become the first German city to supply 100 % of its district heating through renewable energy sources by 2040. Geothermal energy from hot thermal water is expected to make the greatest contribution to heating.
In this reporting period, which was characterised by a positive economic and regulatory environment, the Daldrup Group generated a total gross revenue of EUR 22.8 million in the first half-year to 30 June 2017 which was higher than the previous half-year (H1 2016: EUR 21.0 million).It reflects the good capacity utilisation and the drilling contracts in progress.

The Daldrup Group's value creation and production process, which is typical of the industry and project-dependent, requires regular measurement of inventories, particularly the measurement of work in process. In accordance with the accounting principles and applying the principle of prudence, deductions for calculated risk, profit and sales costs are made from the earned value achieved. The calculated margins and the project success are therefore not realised until after completion, approval and final billing of a project. Project and operating costs, however, are recognised immediately they are incurred. In this respect, the income statement of the Daldrup Group is heavily characterised by project activities.
In the first half-year (H1) 2017, the Daldrup Group generated a total output of EUR 22.8 million (H1 2016: EUR 21.0 million). This figure includes an increase in inventories of work in progress of EUR 17.3 million (H1 2016: EUR 13.7 million) from drilling contracts in progress, which has not yet been finalised.
Consolidated sales revenues for the first half-year amounted to EUR 5.5 million (H1 2016: EUR 7.3 million). At EUR 226k, other operating income remained almost unchanged compared to H1 2016 when it was EUR 279k.
The slightly higher cost trend in the reporting period compared to the same period of the previous year is in line with the increase in operating expenses as part of busier drilling activity. Based on the gross revenue, a material expense ratio of 52.3 % is calculated compared to the comparable prior-year period (H1 2016: 55.9 %). The cost of purchased services totalling EUR 5.5 million decreased significantly compared to the same period of the previous year (EUR 7.6 million).
Personnel expenses in the amount of EUR 4.0 million were 4.1 % higher than in the previous year due to the increase in staff by 4.1 %. Other operating expenses – mainly rental expenses, disposal costs for removal of residue / waste, construction site consumables, legal and consulting costs as well as room costs – rose to EUR 4.9 million (H1 2016: EUR 3.6 million).
The Daldrup Group's half-year results for 2017 before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) totalled EUR 2.3 million (H1 2016: EUR 2.2 million). The almost constant depreciation at EUR 1.8 million includes depreciation on property, plant and equipment.
In the Group, Daldrup generated an operating result (EBIT, earnings before interest and taxes) of EUR 0.5 million (H1 2016: EUR 0.4 million). Before tax (EBT), Daldrup generated a profit of EUR 172k (H1 2016: EUR 24k). The half-year net profit (EAT, profit after tax) amounted as at 30 June 2017 to EUR 168k (previous year EUR 3k).
As of the reporting date of 30 June 2017, the consolidated balance sheet total reduced slightly compared to 31 December 2016 to a total of EUR 90.0 million. The fixed assets of EUR 47.4 million (31/12/2016: EUR 49.3 million) include intangible assets of EUR 0.9 million (31/12/2016: EUR 1.3 million), the carrying value of the four permits for exploration of geothermal heat (claims) at the respective stage of development (including seismic profiling) and the Kalina licence. Land and buildings on land in the amount of EUR 0.9 million (31/12/2016: EUR 0.9 million), which are directly related to drilling and power plant projects, are recognised as tangible assets. In the case of technical equipment and machinery valued at EUR 11.4 million (31/12/2016: EUR 12.3 million), this includes in particular the stock of drilling rigs, the vehicle fleet and the necessary operating and office equipment, which are amortised according to plan. In addition to this, payments totalling EUR 8.1 million were made for assets under construction (previous year, EUR 8.1 million).
The financial assets of EUR 23.2 million (31/12/2016: EUR 23.4 million) include shares in associated companies of EUR 21.9 million (31/12/2016: EUR 21.9 million). These mainly include the 38.61 % stake in GeoEnergie Taufkirchen GmbH & Co. KG. The 40 % stake in geox GmbH, the operator of the Landau geothermal power plant is valued at EUR 1 in the balance sheet. Both holdings have been included at equity in the consolidated financial statements. There is also a loan to a customer issued to the value of EUR 1.3 million (as at 31/12/2016: EUR 1.5 million), which shall be paid back as agreed.
In Current Assets, the value of raw materials, consumables and supplies totalling EUR 3.0 million (31/12/2016: EUR 3.1 million) corresponds to the inventory required for the operation of a drilling business. In view of suppliers' ability and readiness to deliver, it is currently not necessary to hold a larger inventory. Services in progress, measured in accordance with business prudence, represent a value of EUR 77.2 million (31/12/2016: EUR 62.9 million) on the balance sheet date, and primarily stem from works on geothermal project construction sites / drilling rigs in Belgium and Germany that have not yet been finally invoiced. Services in progress are measured by means of reverse costing from the order value, taking into account the degree of completion on the balance sheet date and a flat-rate deduction of 12.5 % for the share of profit not yet realised and non-capitalisable costs. Payments received in the amount of EUR 65.7 million (31/12/2016: EUR 56.0 million) were deducted from the unfinished orders on the face of the balance sheet. As at the balance sheet date, receivables had decreased to EUR 21.6 million (31/12/2016: EUR 24.1 million). The receivables from the, on the whole, solvent customer base are intact. Other assets of EUR 15.2 million (31/12/2016: EUR 15.6 million) include claims for damages against clients/suppliers, claims from reinsurance cover as well as outstanding tax and loan and additional services for drilling contracts that have not yet been invoiced.
Liquid funds (cash in hand/bank) are EUR 280k as at the reporting date (31/12/2016: EUR 755k). The Daldrup Group companies were solvent at all times throughout the fiscal year. If required, banks would make sufficient credit lines available.
The equity of the Daldrup Group as at 30 June 2017 amounts to EUR 46.2 million (previous year: EUR 46.1 million); the equity ratio is 51.3 % of the balance sheet total as of the balance sheet date (31/12/2016: 50.4 %). Obligations that are regarded as fixed, and contingency risks, for example, for warranties in accordance with the business prudence concept, have been taken into account when recognising provisions for pensions (EUR 0.8 million), provisions for taxation (EUR 167k) and other provisions (EUR 2.5 million).
Compared to the balance sheet date of 31 December 2016, the liabilities decreased by around 4 % to EUR 40.3 million. Trade accounts payable declined significantly to a total of EUR 5.2 million (31/12/2016: EUR 7.9 million). Amounts owed to banks rose slightly by EUR 600k to EUR 9.2 million. This is attributable to operation-related greater use of working capital credit lines from long-standing core banks totalling EUR 7.1 million (31/12/2016: EUR 5.6 million). The credit lines at banks and insurance companies are sufficient to cover the sureties, guarantees, letters of credit customary in the industry and for forming a potential liquidity reserve. Other assets of EUR 25.6 million (31/12/2016: EUR 25.3 million) result from current wage and tax liabilities, social security contributions, and also exist towards other shareholders of Geysir Europe GmbH in the amount of EUR 12.8 million as well as a promissory note loan for the Taufkirchen power plant project for EUR 9.8 million from a pension fund.

The excellent capacity utilization of all business units of Daldrup & Söhne AG, the lively demand for geothermal boring services and the progress in power plant projects for taking up electricity production place the company in a financially satisfactory position. Continued low interest rates in the eurozone give financial investors, in particular, an appetite for geothermal power plant projects with an attractive internal rate of return (IRR). During the reporting period, the order book of the Daldrup Group significantly improved for deep geothermal projects in
Germany and elsewhere in Europe to more than 70 million euros. In summary, it can be stated that the business development, the position, and the earnings of Daldrup & Söhne AG have been positively affected by the regulatory situation and overall economic development within the target markets of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux countries. The Management Board assesses the economic development as satisfactory based on the economic environment.
Daldrup & Söhne AG has undertaken to comply with the highest standards of health, safety and environmental protection. The greatest importance is attached to the fact that all employees and companies that undertake activities on behalf of Daldrup & Söhne AG are familiar with and adhere to the standards, laws and regulations of safety, health protection and environmental protection. The management, information and security system installed by the Management Board of Daldrup & Söhne AG ensures that these objectives are implemented effectively. Dedicated non-financial performance indicators are presented in the 2016 annual financial statements in the Annual Report on page 40.
The deliberate and controlled management of opportunities and risks is a key element of corporate management within Daldrup & Söhne AG. Risks and opportunities are presented in the 2016 Annual Report on pages 42 to 47. The risk and opportunity situation of the Daldrup Group has not changed significantly compared to the current assessments.
The Daldrup Group is continuing to transform itself into an integrated geothermal energy group and is therefore building up its national and international market position as an end-to-end supplier of geothermal power plant projects.
The Management Board are working intensively to reopen the Landau geothermal energy power plant. The technical conditions set out in the permit granted for the special operating plan for the "construction / overhaul and re-commissioning of the machinery of the primary circulation system of the Landau geothermal power plant for geothermal heat generation" at the beginning of August have been carefully worked through. The company sees no obstacles in restarting the power plant soon as part of trial operations at the end of September 2017. These trial operations are expected to last until the end of November 2017. Ultimately, Daldrup is aiming for the complete recommissioning of the power plant.
Since December 2015, heat has been regularly fed into the district heating network of the communities of Oberhaching and Taufkirchen under the Taufkirchen geothermal project. The new heat exchangers ordered from Kelvion are being constructed as reported. The first heat exchangers will be delivered at the end of September 2017. According to the latest reports, it will still be possible to carry out trial operations for electricity production in the current year.
Additional geothermal power plant projects in the Bavarian Molasse basin, like in Puchheim, and in the Upper Rhine Rift, like in Neuried, are already being developed.
In its economic forecast or Germany published at the beginning of September, the IfW maintained its outlook for a further dynamic upturn. This upturn is mainly due to lively foreign trade, investments in equipment and increasing investments in construction. The IfW is raising its forecast for growth in GDP for the current year by 0.3 percentage points to 2.0 % and for 2018 by 0.2 percentage points to 2.2 %.
Economic researchers are predicting a sustained economic recovery for the euro area too. According to the Kiel-based economists, GDP is expected to rise by 2.2 % in 2017 and by a further 2.1 % in 2018. It is anticipated that the recovery will gain more momentum and be increasingly buoyed by the domestic economy and foreign trade. The economy is currently supported by low interest rates and a slightly expansive fiscal policy.
IfW is predicting risks for global economic development, particularly in issues related to the approaching normalization of monetary policy, structural issues, geopolitical tensions and increasing isolationist and protectionist trends by individual countries and economic areas.
The amended Renewable Energies Act (EEG) that entered into force on 1 January 2017 continues the positive conditions for financing the still relatively new geothermal industry in Germany. Until 2021 the basic feed-in tariff for new installations will be 25.2 ct/kWh. A quantity control as used for wind and solar power has not been proposed. The role of geothermal energy in the renewable energy mix is being increasingly acknowledged and viewed positively in the world of politics thanks to its base load capacity and controllability. Interest amongst investors is growing, particularly for larger geothermal power plant projects. Consequently, the growth in the market for deep geothermal drilling and power plant projects in Central Europe increased further throughout the course of the first half of 2017. A number of new plans and tenders have been published by municipal and private investors.
The importance attached to geothermal energy as an alternative source of heat and power production is increasing significantly outside of Germany also. Both in the context of a turnaround in energy policy as well as to reduce dependency on fossil primary energy sources such as gas.
Geothermal energy is an important source for the success of the energy transition, as it is decentralised and does not require any expansion of the grid, is an inexhaustible and free resource, has an unrestricted ability to supply base load (i.e., regardless of time of the day, seasons and weather conditions), makes a major contribution to environmental and climate protection and provides an outstanding CO2 footprint. The cost reduction potential in project development and technology can be developed by numerous pending projects, with the result that the costs of geothermal electricity and heat generation will approach a competitive level in the next few years. As a result, geothermal energy is an important system service and in the foreseeable future will be operated economically without subsidies.
Geothermal energy has long been a reliable form of energy supply in Germany. The technology can be controlled and planned. Through the high levels of skill and expertise of the Daldrup Group, it has demonstrated in many projects that it can and will meet the high safety requirements demanded by the public and the licensing authorities. According to the Federal Association of Geothermal Energy in Germany there are (as at September 2017) 45 geothermal heat, power and heating power plants in operation with an installed heat output of 303 MW and an installed electrical capacity of around 37 MW. Two other projects are in construction and 34 are in the planning stage (incl. research projects).
Further information on the market environment and forecasts are presented in the 2016 Annual Report on pages 48 to 53.
The drilling and project business continues to be accompanied by many natural unknown factors, as delays and fluctuations can occur based on planning, approval and tendering processes, the geology, particular infrastructural conditions and the demands of project financing. It is still not possible to preclude such changes from impacting the results of operations and financial position of Daldrup & Söhne AG.
Daldrup & Söhne AG has created a good basis for future growth in its business and the company due to the expansion in the value-added chain in its drilling and project business. The Daldrup Group will receive the first income from electricity feed-in and heat supply in the next few quarters.
The order book of Daldrup & Söhne AG has been very satisfactory in the current financial year. All business units are well utilized. High demand continues, particularly in the deep geothermal energy business unit. In recent months, Daldrup has taken on several large-volume orders. Due to many other numerous tenders and contract negotiations for deep geothermal projects, the Management Board believes that Daldrup can acquire further orders for the next two fiscal years.
With fully utilized drilling capacity and full order books stretching far into 2019, the Management Board of Daldrup & Söhne AG still expects to achieve gross revenue of approximately EUR 40 million for the 2017 fiscal year combined with an EBIT margin of 2 to 5 %.

The contract is awarded as a voluntary audit of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the accounting standards of the German Commercial Code and the German Stock Corporation Act. These were prepared in accordance with the same accounting methods as those used in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2016.
Not only the parent company, but all domestic and foreign subsidiaries under the legal control of Daldrup & Söhne AG are included in the consolidated financial statements. The annual financial statements of subsidiary companies are prepared on the same balance sheet date as the annual financial statements of the parent company, using standard accounting policies.
The effects of intercompany transactions are eliminated. Receivables and payables between the companies included are consolidated.
The negative goodwill from capital consolidation stems from earnings retained at subsidiaries following the acquisition of investments, but prior to the reporting date of the first-time consolidation. It has therefore been recognised directly in equity without affecting net income.
The accounting of the shares in those companies on which the Group has no dominant but a significant influence, is carried out using the equity method. Initially, these associated companies are recognised at cost. The Group's share of the profits and losses of these companies is recognised in the income statement from the moment of their acquisition. The cumulative changes are offset against the investment value.
Accounting is carried out in accordance with a standard policy for the Group, in order to ensure that there is uniform accounting amongst all included companies and associated companies.

There has been no change in the consolidated entities compared to the previous year.
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the midspot exchange rates on the balance sheet date and income statement items at the average exchange rates for the year. The parts of equity to be included in the capital consolidation as well as the retained profits and accumulated losses brought forward are translated at historical exchange rates. Any differences in the balance sheet to which this gives rise are recognised directly in equity as "currency translation adjustments".

Acquired intangible fixed assets and fixed assets have been recognised at cost and, if liable to depreciation / amortisation, have been reduced by scheduled depreciation/amortisation.
Depreciation is calculated linearly according to the expected useful life. Low-value assets between EUR 150 and EUR 1,000 are entered in a collective item and amortised linearly over a period of 5 years. Assets under EUR 150 are recorded directly as expenses.
Shares in associated companies were valued using the equity method.
Securities classified as fixed assets have been accounted for at their nominal value.
Extraordinary depreciation of assets of the fixed assets was made where a permanent impairment exists.
Raw materials, consumables and supplies have been recognised at cost. If the daily values were lower on the balance sheet date, these values have been recognised.
Drilling contract services in progress are measured by means of reverse costing from the order value, taking into account the degree of completion on the balance sheet date and a flat-rate deduction of 12.5 % for the share of profit not yet realised and non-capitalisable costs. Project business services in progress (construction of the Taufkirchen power plant) are measured by means of attributable manufacturing costs.
Receivables and other assets have been recognised at their nominal value.
In the case of receivables, individual risks have been taken into account by means of adequately measured specific valuation allowances and the general credit risk by means of appropriate flat-rate deductions of 1 %.
Cash in hand and credit balances at banks have been recognised at their nominal value. Balances in foreign currency are translated at the mean spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date.
Prepaid expenses and accrued income include expenses before the balance sheet date which will only become expenses in the following year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are, in principle, measured using the tax rates valid as at the balance sheet date. Future tax rate changes are taken into account if, within the scope of a legislative procedure, substantial prerequisites for its future applicability have been met on the balance sheet date. In this case, a flat rate of 30.0 %, which includes the standard corporation tax rate of 15 %, the solidarity surcharge of 5.5 % and an average trade tax rate of 14.2 %, is used.
Subscribed capital has been recognised at par value.
The calculated par value of acquired treasury shares has been deducted from subscribed capital on the face of the balance sheet.
Provisions have been recognised for uncertain liabilities from pension obligations. Recognition was based on actuarial calculations using the PUC (Projected Unit Credit) method.
Other provisions have been recognised for any other uncertain liabilities at the settlement amount dictated by prudent business judgement. All identifiable risks have been taken into account here. If the liabilities were due after more than one year, maturity-matched discounting was carried out using the interest rates published by the Deutsche Bundesbank.
Liabilities have been recognised at their settlement amount.
Deferred income and accrued expenses include inflows before the balance sheet date which will only become income in the following year.
Receivables and payables in foreign currency are measured using the initial exchange rate on the day of the business transaction. Losses from changes in exchange rates up to the reporting date are always taken into account, while gains from changes in exchange rates are taken into account only if they are due within one year or less.
The statement of changes in fixed assets as at 30/06/2017 has been attached as Appendix 1 to the notes.
Shares in associates totalling EUR 21,892k relate to the following companies:
Payments received are openly deducted from inventories.
The remaining term of receivables is less than one year.
This includes loans receivable from GeoEnergie Taufkirchen GmbH & Co. KG (EUR 107k) and geox GmbH, Landau (EUR 3,881k), and others (EUR 2k).

The deferred taxes were calculated using a tax rate of 30.0 %. The deferred taxes were calculated based on a corporation tax rate of 15.0 %. A solidarity surcharge of 5.5 % on any corporation tax as well as an average trade tax rate of 14.2 % were also used as the basis for this calculation.
Owing to different measurement of the provision for annual leave which has not been taken and the pension provision, liability items in the tax accounts are lower than in the financial statements, resulting in deferred tax assets (EUR 162k).

The pension provision for the CEO, Josef Daldrup, is calculated according to actuarial principles. The calculations are performed on the basis of the 2005 G actuarial tables for pension insurance by Prof. Klaus Heubeck. This is a generation table that reflects transition probabilities in the Company pension scheme, such as mortality rate, invalidity or frequency of marriage, according to age, gender and year of birth. The interest rate of 4.01 % p.a. (10-year average), published by the Deutsche Bundesbank as on the balance sheet date of 31/12/2016, was used as the discount rate. A 2.0 % rate of benefit increase during the benefit period and a 0.0 % rate of benefit increase during the qualifying period of were taken as a basis. The individual calculations were performed according to the PUC method (projected unit credit method).
Between the estimate derived from the average market interest rate of the past ten fiscal years (4.01 %) and the estimate derived from the average market interest rate of the past seven fiscal years (3.24 %) there is a difference in pension provisions the present fiscal year amounting to EUR 81k. The difference in pension provisions excluded from distribution is the result of the calculation laid down in the German Commercial Code (HGB) in the version of 16/03/2016 and pursuant to the Accounting Law Modernisation Act (BilMoG).
Tax provisions amount to EUR 167k (previous year: EUR 41k).

Daldrup & Söhne AG has other financial obligations arising from rental and lease agreements totalling EUR 88k. The obligations have a remaining term of up to one year. Moreover there are obligations stemming from a licensing agreement amounting to EUR 5,775k, of which EUR 350k are due within one year, EUR 1,400k within one and five years and EUR 4,025k within more than five years.
In addition, there are other financial obligations for rent and leasing in the amount of EUR 70k in relation to Exorka GmbH and in the amount of EUR 154k in relation to Geothermie Allgäu Betriebs- und Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG.
Daldrup & Söhne AG has an obligation, as a joint debtor of a fixed liability guarantee in the amount of EUR 1,000k, to the Thuringian Ministry for Agriculture, Nature Conservation and Environment. The purpose of this guarantee, which expires on 31.12.2017, is to secure a capital expenditure obligation on a remediated plot of land in Thuringia and the creation of permanent jobs.
The guarantee is not expected to be called in, as the project has already been successfully completed and there are no indications of a call on the guarantee.
Within the context of the purchase of 50 % of the shares in geox GmbH by Geysir Europe GmbH from Pfalzwerke Aktiengesellschaft, Daldrup & Söhne AG has acted as guarantor for the purchaser and has provided the LBBW with an independent guarantee for 50 % of the amount borrowed for geox GmbH, the purchase price as well as ongoing financial futures transactions. This also included the obligation to make own funds available with regard to a third borehole in Landau which was supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment. The total liability for Daldrup & Söhne AG amounts to EUR 2,700k.
Geysir Europe GmbH has not increased its stake in geox GmbH by an additional 50 %, to 90 % because the share purchase agreement was rescinded on 2 December 2013. The rescission means it is as if the contract had never existed. There are various judicial proceedings in process against the party that sold the shares and the former geox GmbH service providers. Furthermore, Daldrup & Söhne AG has appealed against the guarantee provided in connection with this.
Currently it is not reasonably probable that a claim will be made against the guarantee because the geox GmbH geothermal power plant in Landau will become operational again in 2017 so that the Company will be able to finance the debt service out of its own funds.
Pursuant to section 313(2) no. 6 HGB, Daldrup & Söhne AG is the personally liable partner in the context of involvement in the following joint ventures:
• "Arnstadt" consortium (company under civil law), registered office in 46238 Bottrop
No claim is expected to be made under the personal liability, as the joint venture projects have already been successfully completed or are on schedule in terms of contract processing and there are no indications of any claim.
The following events took place after the balance sheet date, 30/06/2017, which were of major importance for Daldrup & Söhne AG.
As part of the special operating plan approved at the beginning of August 2017 for the "construction / overhaul and re-commissioning of the machinery of the primary circulation system of the Landau geothermal power plant for geothermal heat generation", geox GmbH, operator of the Landau geothermal power plant, is planning further expert inspections at the end of September 2017. For these and other inspections, the plant will be put into full operation / trial operation. This is carried out in coordination with the authorities. Trial operations are expected to last until the end of November. With the approval of the authorities, the plant can then be converted to regular operation.
The Supervisory Board of Daldrup & Söhne AG renewed the contracts expiring on 31 July 2017 with Chairman of the Management Board, Josef Daldrup, and both members of the Management Board, Andreas Tönies and Peter Maasewerd, for a further five years until 31 July 2022. This ensures the continuity of group management and existing customer relationships, and continues the company's long-standing expertise of the drilling business and power plant projects.
The Annual General Meeting of Daldrup & Söhne AG on 30 August 2017 re-elected Supervisory Board members Wolfgang Clement, Wolfgang Quecke and Joachim Rumstadt to the end of the Annual General Meeting, which gave formal approval for the fourth fiscal year from the start of the term of office. The fiscal year in which the election takes place does not count; the election is thus carried out for the period to the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2022. In the inaugural meeting of the Supervisory Board following the Annual General Meeting Wolfgang Clement was elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Wolfgang Quecke was elected Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
