Group's Basic Principals

FORTEC known as international trading company is nowadays systems' supplier for manufacturers of industrial high-tech-products; thus part of the international addedvalue commercial chain. Being present at various production sites namely in the Far East as well as for European clientele, FORTEC possesses an interesting market segment – thus continuously developing its own engineering services as a supplier for customer-specific product solutions.

Its target potentials are high-tech companies of long-term and predictable positioning, especially in the growing market segments of industrial automation, informative technologies, security, medicine and automotive.

For 30 years, FORTEC has been more than successful for years in sales and results with its proved business model without having any losses.

The group covers two very attractive segments of high-quality electronics. In fact, FORTEC is market leader within the German-speaking countries specialised in its segments industrial power-supplies and data-visualisation.

In the field of power supplies, FORTEC domains completely open-frame boards and DC/DC convertors produced in standard in the Far East or modifies these units in Germany ranging to tailor-made and user-specific developments.

When connecting the product segments of display technology and embedded computer technology to create an Embedded Solution System, FORTEC possesses for a long time a very attractive rare domain. Marketing starts with delivery of systemproved and tested standard kits, accompanied by customers' service in hard- and software with the sale of standard units and ends in specific customer development and its installation.

The reason of FORTEC's success is a large number of customer business relations over years. Its distribution strategy is to find partnerships with top-clientele preferable market leaders in special segment. FORTEC's competence is efficient support in application, clientele tailor-made products – and last not least complete development for customers of the large-scale industry as well as for those with smaller and/or medium order volume.

Target clientele are mainly manufacturers in the field of industry automation, medicine technology as well as providers in the field of railway and security instruments. With this portfolio, FORTEC thus covers the fields of health, information, security and mobility as well as build-up of industrial manufacture, which at present involves the big trends of worldwide dynamic increase of demand.

Our big competence is to provide technology know-how in combination with sales at site. Years of business relations to thousands of customers are the basis of our success. In Germany, our various regional offices provide local customer service. In addition, there are sales offices and subsidiaries in Austria, Switzerland and The Netherlands. Within the group, a 100% support in development and production is given by our subsidiaries Rotec (Rastatt) and Autronic (Sachsenheim). Also ALTRAC in Switzerland is a 100% subsidiary; not to forget the 36.6% participation at a company in The Netherlands. The successful company of Emtron (Nauheim) – also is a 100% FORTEC's subsidiary – specialized in exclusive products of power supplies; it is represented directly and indirectly as well in the markets in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and The Netherlands.

As per 01.10.2014 we acquired 50% of Data Display GmbH – thus also indirectly represented by their subsidiaries in England and the USA.

Due to our present product portfolio, our strategy is to continuously achieve profitable margins by own added-value, which, after cost deduction, still allows a reasonable interest rate of the company capital.

Business Report

During course of business in BY 2014/15, we experienced a slow economic recession same as in previous year. As predicted, business was characterized by an immense pressure on margin. The overall economic conditions show a slow, however unsecure recovery out of the financial crisis and recession of 2008.

Due to the unsatisfactory economic situation, turnover in BY 2014/15 amounting to 45.9 million EUR was slightly above that of previous BY 2013/14 of 45.4 million EUR. In spite of the expectations of last year, this upgrade is due to the increase in turnover in power-supplies of 3.0 million EUR (+11.4%) at a simultaneous reduction in data visualisation of 2.5 million EUR (- 12.8%). These two segments add to the group's total result: data visualisation with 16.8 million EUR and power supplies with 29.1 million EUR.

The other company income from operative business mainly increased by earnings from exchange rate differences of 0.3 million EUR and due to the acquisition of Data Display GmbH of 0.2 million EUR.

This group's total increase faces in percent as well as absolutely an increase in goods and material costs of 35 million EUR (PY 34.2 million EUR). This results in a change in goods and material costs from 75.8% in 2013/14 to 76.2% in 2014/15. In BY 2014/15 the profit margin slightly reduced from 24.2% last year to 23.8% caused by the continuous pressure on sales prices.

The costs of personnel of 5.6 million EUR remained constant. Compared to the total result, the costs in personnel reduced from 12.4% to 12.2%.

Depreciations of 0.3 million EUR stayed same (PY 0.3 million EUR). Other company expenses of 4.0 million EUR heavily increased compared to last year of 3.4 million EUR; mainly caused by the losses in foreign currency exchange and the extraordinary expenses for the acquisition of Data Display GmbH amounting to 8.7% (PY 7.6%) compared to total result.

Important financial indicator is the EBIT-margin from operative business without income from investment. The group's EBIT consists of -0.1 million EUR in the field data visualisation (PY 0.5 million EUR) and 2.3 million EUR in power supplies (PY 1.7 million EUR). The company's result of 2.2 million EUR and a margin of 4.8% remained same as concerns the earnings of both segments.

The annual net income of 1.9 million EUR in BY 2014/15 raised by circa 0.3 million EUR compared to that of PY 2013/14 in fulfilment of the expectations given last year. The operating profit margin after tax raised by 0.7% from 3.4% (2013/14) to now 4.1%.

The result per share increased from 0.52 EUR last year to now 0.63 EUR. As in years before, a dividend payment of again 0.50 EUR per share can be made due to these earnings in operating business.

The company's financial situation is considered to be extraordinary and compared to companies of similar business model persuades again by an equity capital quota higher than above-average. The primary consolidation of Data Display GmbH as per 30.06.2015 has an influence on all balance items at balance date.

The total assets at a balance sum are 38.2 million EUR (PY 26.0 million EUR), the long-term assets amount to 6.5 million EUR (PY 4.4 million EUR). This includes the goodwill of 3.3 million EUR (PY 2.9 million EUR) resulting from the acquisition of companies during past years.

Intangible assets, property and financial assets as well as long-term receivables increase due to the participation assets of Data Display GmbH from 1.5 million EUR to now 2.9 million EUR (PY 1.4 million EUR).

Short-terms assets are 16.7 million EUR (PY 8.4 million EUR); value of stock amounts to 43.7 % - representing the biggest item in balance (PY 32.4%); followed by receivables from deliveries and productivity of 8.2 million EUR (PY 4.0 million EUR) mainly paid at balancing date as well as cash available of 5.7 million EUR (PY 8.7 million EUR) which is mainly due to the participation to Data Display GmbH.

Except the credit of 1 million EUR paid in July 2015, the company works without any bank liabilities. Having a capital quota of 76 % (PY 85%), the company possesses sufficient own capital of 29.2 million EUR (PY 22.1 million EUR) and therefore is able to carry out the acquisition of the 2nd half of Data Display GmbH without any problems.

Cash-flow in operative business of 0.7 million EUR in BY 2014/15 again was positive (PY 3.3 million EUR) – however considerably weaker than last year.

The cash-flow as regards investments of -2.3 million EUR (PY - 0.4 million EUR) basically results from the acquisition of 50% of Data Display GmbH minus taken liquid funds of 3.7 million EUR as 30.06.2015 (IAS 7.42).

Cash-flow as regards financing activities of -1.5 million EUR (PY -1.5 million EUR) results from payment of dividends of 50 Cent per share unchanged to last year.

In total and due to the negative cash-flow in investment activities, the positive cashflow of PY of 1.4 million EUR could not be reached – only – 3.1 million EUR.

As far as the group concerns, non-financial indicators are: the employees, long-term contact to suppliers and clientele.

Also, there are employees for many years supported by us in their own-responsibility and endeavours for efficiency.

Our stable business over centuries is based on a long-term and close co-operation with selected suppliers. It assures benefit to many of our customers over all these years which again add to our business success.

The company holds on to the ecological significance in its operative business.

Annexe Report

Any occurrences of considerable importance did not happen after final balance date.

Forecast Report

In spite of positive aspects, the economic recovery within the entire Euro-zone is still not insight. Geo-political crises burden the public mood. First of all, there is the conflict in the Ukraine accompanied by the sanctions against Russia – not to forget the economic effects on the German industry. On the other hand, the development in the Middle East has a strong impact to the economic development. And last but not least, there is a considerable insecurity of the export-orientated economy in Central Europe due to the economic recession in China and other emerging markets.

In spite of all risks involved, many research institutes are positive that economy in Euro-zone continues to grow this year as well as during next two years. However, EZB predicts in its expertise this fall 2015, that there are less positive forecasts as to a slower economic recovery than previously expected.

In view of the latent uncertainness, we continuously expect a further positive development of the group's turnover due to the good positioning of subsidiaries e.g. EMTRON and Data Display GmbH.

In the field of power supplies within the group, we expect a side-swing during BY after the considerable increase. However, considering the further positive perspectives, we will employ in BY 2015/16 additional personnel in order to further strengthen our market position. Based on these long-term projects, first of all there are costs involved without any service in return; thus reducing our earnings in this segment during current BY.

Based on Data Display GmbH, we will start new impulses in the segment of data visualisation. During current business year, it will show whether we successfully add on to FORTEC's business together with Data Display GmbH. In order to evaluate matters, it still is uncertain whether a business merger is possible or not.

In the long run, we foresee considerable potential in the economic field 4.0 – the German industry has a very special start position. FORTEC's strength will be in the field of embedded computers.

For more than 30 years and based on our business policy proven during many years' cycles, we succeeded to make profit year by year without having one single year of loss. However, there is no guarantee for the future, yet we still are confident that our business model continues to run successfully - and we are positive that continuous long-term growth is possible.

Risk Report and Chances.

The risks mentioned in categories below could influence our entire company (total risk), our financial situation (financial risk) and our profitability (result risk). Further risks are that of personnel and technique; we have to face these risks continuously. These risks are not definite, however others may occurr which at present, we do not know nor do consider as important.

Risks that could endanger the company at present are not reported. The total risk of doom can practically not been determined at this time.

Balance risks as regards finances at balance day e.g. receivables from deliveries and productivity have been considered by appropriate depreciation and accruals. An evaluation as concerns figures is given in "group's annexe" (Tz.15). At balance day, the evaluation of these risks was made to our best knowledge, yet could not be sufficient in total.

Elementary risks are covered by considerable insurances and are thoroughly checked each year; in special cases it may not be sufficient.

Potential risks which have to be taken into consideration to exist within the market are the risks of distribution, products and marketing as well as the dependency from other suppliers.

Another enormous risk - yet not to be underestimated - is the system-related risk of the close co-operation with only few strategic partners in our product portfolio. Already a change in personnel could lead to the loss of an existent and successful business co-operation and this mainly in view of suppliers in the Far East with whom there are often relationships for many years and even of private matter.

For centuries, the market of the professional electronic industry is dominated by a continuous decrease of prices at same service respectively by technical service above average at constant prices. Although in the past, we managed to deal with this risk, it is not guaranteed that there may be losses in the future because of this pricerelated risk.

A considerable risk is disposition of stock. In spite of a multi-stage purchasing process, wrong planning could result in considerable losses because there is a continuous trend to local suppliers. The risk to have unsellable merchandise on stock, is not only the result of false material planning, but also depends on the different quality standards set by customers and producers. Mainly, the important fact is that of the configuration of the merchandise with origin Far East as well as the political EU requirements as to its contents and its usage.

Compared to a few years ago, the product liability is an increasing risk to the company which is controlled and defined by choice of suppliers and their ratings. However, as concerns different quality standards, frauds and/or criminal actions of suppliers, we - as importer/supplier - are liable towards our customers.

A yet steady growing risk is the customers' requirements as concerns a prolonged time of warranty and the usual terms of suppliers' contract. During these past years, the clientele started to develop a certain aggressiveness for claims which is obviously against and at expenses of the supplier. Claims resulting of a supplier's contract may accelerate considerably the delivered product value; resulting in more legal proceedings including corresponding risk.

Another main topic of the risk management is the often bad credit worthiness of some middle-sized companies. Here, careful examination of its solvency is made, yet observing mainly the requirements of the insurance company.

Our success in the market also strongly depends on intensive and years of experience of our personnel (personnel risk). A big change in staff, yet especially of key-persons would definitely endanger our current success.

A big question would endanger our business model as importer of technical highquality products i.e. the change in clientele's behaviour to no longer produce in Middle Europe and turn to local suppliers. In the future, the same effect would have the behaviour of our suppliers to sell directly via internet to industrial clientele and not any more within their distribution channels. Another negative aspect could be a concentration process expected from the supplier's side which could involve – in worst case – a contract cancellation towards the supplier. In addition, similar effects could arise if the costs decrease because of the reduction of margins due to competitor's information available to all customers via internet. This basically influences the personnel costs applied in the German speaking area.

Due to the EDV – networking of the entire group, a break-down (technical risk) or a serious interference in the computer system could cause enormous damage to the company. An abuse by externals or internals, especially theft of information, business interruptions or IT – system breakouts or insufficient means for data security could extremely endanger the company.

Foreign currency risks are excluded, if possible, in case of larger project by invoicing directly in the relevant currency. However, there could be negative impulses on our company in normal business especially due to a further change of the dollar and yen parity as well as fluctuations of the Swiss Franc towards Euro, Dollar and Yen.

The existing growth strategy of the group does not only involve organic increase but also company acquisitions. Here, the figure above the net asset value is balanced as goodwill and checked each year as to its recoverability. If the expectations of the purchased company are not met and/or – as a consequence of economic unstableness – the expected cash-flow result cannot be achieved, then depreciations in the group's balance as per IFRS have to be done. An additional need for future depreciation may not be eliminated.

A considerable change compared to PY is the acquisition of the Data Display Group together with its development, production and subsidiaries in England and USA. Careful development and production involve the higher risk (item: fix costs) not being flexible any more towards market fluctuations. Due to distances and different mentality in the USA, the acquisition of Data Display GmbH with its US subsidiary involves the risk for eventual foreign losses.

Besides risks, there are new chances as well. New market chances outside the German speaking region, were realised by the purchase of Data Display Group and their partners in England and the USA.

For FORTEC as a technology company, there are product chances also by the acquisition of Data Display Group within the field of displays, touch-solutions according to optical bonding as well as high-quality industry monitors.

Furthermore and based on a profound evaluation of product as well as market chances, CEO will take measures as regards product portfolio, marketing and sales as well as concerns financial means (money, funds, etc.) and resources which may involve potential risk.

Risk Management

The risk management system of the FORTEC group assures that the daily business transactions may not be endangered by well-known and/or new risks to be made transparent and thus be controlled and/or even avoided.

The risk management is part of the management system enabling to recognise risks and limit their consequences as much as possible.

The risk management is a continuous task. Therefore, it is necessary to involve all personnel and especially the persons-in-charge to recognize any possible company risks.

Considering the statutes of risk analysis made by CEO of the individual FORTEC companies, appropriate measures were taken and responsible persons-in-charge appointed.

Controlled by quarterly risk reporting, the management (CEO) is informed regularly of the actual state of risk, however being updated of a sudden risk at any time. The formal implement of the risk management system will be of help; more important however is a continuous sensitising of all personnel for any possible risks and their immediate handling.

Goal of the risk management is that any possible risk is immediately recognized by personnel and/or the persons-in-charge before any company damage may occur and to try to find an appropriate and in-time solution by the responsible personnel as well as persons-in-charge.

Internal Control and Risk Management in view of balancing process.

This control and risk management is an integral part of all processes of the FORTEC group and is based on a global system of risk identification, its evaluation as well as its controlling. The board of directors holds sole responsibility for control and risk management. Active monitoring are to support its identification, evaluation and processing within the specific business sectors of the FORTEC AG and its subsidiaries.

Relevant information especially as to organisation and its process of the current BY may be referred to in the present QA-manual.

Monthly statements of the FORTEC AG and its subsidiaries help to recognize in time any changes as concerns order income, order book, stock as well as turnover and consequently take necessary steps as to the raw margin and costs. The value of receivables, especially those of the debtors is controlled on a regular basis. The value of share holdings is controlled once a year by a so-called impairment test and corrected if necessary.

The measures of the internal control system assure the correctness and reliability of the group's balance, which, in accordance with legal regulations, is covered properly and in time; furthermore, inventory is made correctly and group's assets and depths are listed and evaluated appropriately. It is guaranteed that balancing documents provide reliable and understandable information.

The balancing regulations are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are basis for FORTEC's balancing and evaluation standards also applying to its German and foreign subsidiaries.

The group's auditor and others e.g. the tax auditor use process independent controlling. Especially as regards the group's final balancing process, a specific autonomous monitoring is applied at issue of the group's year balance.

Risk reporting as concerns application of financial instruments:

The company's existing financial instruments are: bank giro account, assets' account, suppliers' credits as well as receivables, etc.

The company consists of a solvent and credit-worthiness clientele which is secured by a goods credit insurance starting at EUR 10.000 in case of merchandise deliveries below DAX 30 index fixed companies. The loss in receivables to an extent that may endanger the company are not expected.

Liabilities are to be paid within payment terms.

Goal of the finance- and risk management is to ensure the company's success against any kind of financial risks.

Possible risks of price changes which may exist in a potential loss due to negative changes of market prices or price-relevant parameters, will be minimised by contractual agreements.

For protection of risks in liquidity, a regular survey of cash-receipt and cashpayments are made. To minimise these risks, the company possesses an appropriate debtors' account management.

Overview of the risk and chances situation

As CEO of a technology company, we note a majority in chances for the future development of the company comparing risk against chances. Although company risk continuous raise, requirements as concerns products permanently increase and the products' life-cycle even diminishes, we assume that our market will change in a positive way - especially by industry 4.0 as part of internet (loT)

Further Information according to § 315 Article 4 HGB

The number of shares is 2.954.943 at a nominal value of 1 EUR. At present, there is no limited or proved capital, nor any program for repurchase of stock.

The signed capital is exclusively common stock drawn to bondholders who are entitled to vote. There are neither limitations as concerns the right to vote nor the purchase.

Appointment and dismissal of the board is in accordance with legal regulations (§§ 84, 85 AktG). The compensation scheme of the management board breaks down to a fix and a variable part which depends on achieved EBIT resp. year's profit before tax. On 15.12.2011, the general shareholders board decided, that the required statements in the financial report can be omitted as per § 314 Abs.1 No. 6 Art. 5-9 HGB. It is not agreed that there are any refunds to be made in case of change of control and/or any takeover offer. If change of control based on a takeover offer takes place, it is agreed that the suppliers' contracts essential for the company may be cancelled by the principals. Especially, when there is a potential risk that a competitor is to take-over – facts to be discussed with CEO.

In case of a change in control due to a take-over, essential suppliers' contracts may be cancelled. This risk exists when a contractual supplier may fear the interruption of a competitor.

Alterations of articles of the association require a majority of board votes of 75%.

Costs for research and development were not noted.

Statement re: company's business management according to § 289 a HGB

Responsible and long-term orientated added-value of business management are the leading tasks of FORTEC Elektronik AG. Based on this declaration, CEO reports about business management according to § 289 a HGB.

FORTEC's business management is by great means dominated by self-responsibility and ethnic conduct of every single employee and/or person-in-charge taken into consideration the legal requirements and internal procedure information.

The business management of FORTEC as a German AG noted at stock exchange is defined by the AG-law and its restrictions as concerns the "Deutsche Corporate Governance Kodex" at its current edition. On February 26, 2002, the German government published the "Deutsche Corporate Governance Kodex". Its edition published on May 15, 2012 defines essential regulations as concerns the management and control of German stock exchange noted companies and includes international and national standards of good and responsible business management.

Basis is the obligation to fulfil § 315a Art. 1 HGB and Art. 4 of regulation (EG) Nr. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council dated July 19, 2002 as concerns the use of the international balancing standards.

2) Balancing and Evaluation Principles.

Separately purchased intangible assets (without goodwill) as well as tangible assets are calculated according to purchase cost minimized by the accumulated depreciation (standard IAS 16.30 re purchase costs) and being depreciated according to plan for the period of use.

This period is said to be 3-5 years for software, 10 years for company building, for vehicles 3-6 years, for tools and equipment 4 years, for office equipment 3-5 years and for other company and business equipment 4 -10 years. Costs for repair are calculated according to expense.

At each balance day, the calculated value of the tangible assets was not below book value.

At balance day, the achieved proceeds from the equipment assets were not below the book value. As depreciation method, only linear depreciation is used. Incomes are depreciated according to "pro rata temporis"; minor cost merchandise is depreciated for 5 years.

At each balance day, the book values are examined as to possible depreciation in value.

The long-term financial assets are investments. If there is no active demand in market for these companies and "fair- values" could not be calculated effectively, then their respective purchase costs are listed; however low "fair-values" are taken into account. At present, it is not intended to sell these financial assets.

The stocks asset is evaluated to purchase costs plus additional costs and minus discount. As concerns price alterations, only mixed prices are changed accordingly. Therefore, the average method was used; the lowest value principle was observed. If the net sales value was below purchase cost, the lower net sales value was used. Financing costs are not activated.

Obligations from deliveries, services and others are evaluated as to their nominal amount. Necessary value corrections were done right away. Individual debtors risks were evaluated separately.

The evaluation of payment means and/or equivalents is done by their net value.

Taken into consideration the necessary caution, reserves which the company might have to deal with were not made. It was not required to calculate interests.

Pension reserves were not made.

Obligations with return payment were made. As per balance day, there were no obligations with a remaining period of more than 5 years.

Deferred taxes are made considering temporary differences of the balance report and the financial values. The future average tax (KSt, SolZ and GewSt) amounts to 29 % (PY 29%).

Currency exchange rates of transactions, obligations, liabilities and monetary assets and debts per balance day were made at daily EUR rate. Exchange rate differences are stated.

The report of the Swiss company Altrac AG is calculated according to IAS 21 of functional currency into EUR. The valid currency for Altrac AG is the country's currency, as the company is considered independent financially, economically and logistically. At groups' balance all considerable balance data – based on exchange rates – were calculated at daily rate of the balance day; investments and earnings at average annual rate as well as company capital at average yearly rate (modified day method).

Earnings/Returns – whenever payment date was – were recorded when service rendered. They will be evaluated according to date for payment; taxes will be calculated proportionally and in time.

Other capital costs made during business year were recorded as expenses as requirements for activation are not relevant.

Regulations in structure remain same as previous year. "Short-term" means assets and obligations if due within one year. Accounts receivables from deliveries, service and stock are in general considered short-term. Deferred claims on tax and/or obligations are considered long-term according to IAS 1.56.

The issue of the group's report in accordance with IFRS requires decisions and estimations as concerns the book value of balanced assets and liabilities, profit and obligations as well as possible accounts payable. However, if necessary these amounts may differ. Changes will be observed successfully until improved information is available.

Insecurities as to the estimations mainly relate to the amount and evaluation of assets and liabilities that may result in a incalculable risk for the coming business years.

Liabilities from deliveries and services are examined on estimated basis as to their realisation in view of a possible global single value correction.

The sum of provisions for guarantee was calculated on estimated and expected costs and their due date taking into consideration past-time values and current transactions.

3) Consolidation

Besides the parent company, this group report includes the German subsidiaries of Blum Stromversorgungen GmbH, Thannhausen, Emtron electronics GmbH, Nauheim, Rotec technology GmbH, Rastatt and Autronic Steuer- und Regeltechnik GmbH, Sachsenheim as well as the Swiss Altrac AG, Dietikon. FORTEC Elektronik AG together with four active national and one foreign company having the majority of votes.

The reports of each subsidiary are dated at the day of issue of the group's report, being examined and certified by independent financial auditors with unlimited comments.

As per 01.10.2014, the group purchased 50% of shares and voting rights of Data Display, Germering/Germany. Due to the legally accepted option dated 30.06.2015, FORTEC AG acquired control of Data Display GmbH, as the other 50% voting rights of the shareholder rest as per option. Therefore, there is a full-consolidation per 30.06.2015 of Data Display GmbH. Issue of a profit-/loss statement from 28. – 30.06.2015 was neglected due to materiality purposes.

Data Display GmbH will provide an interim report as per 30.06.2015 properly examined by the auditor; the BY of Data Display GmbH starts 01.01. resp. ends 31.12.

The control of Data Display GmbH provides that the group has access to the TFT controlling and processing units developed by Data Display GmbH as well as to the newest generation of optical bonding techniques. The professional display units for industry and digital signage perfectly fit to the existing product port-folio of the group.

Thus all subsidiaries were consolidated. As FORTEC Elektronik AG holds the entire capital of all subsidiaries, there are no minority shares.

The most important figures according to IFRS of the relevant companies (before consolidation) are shown in the following chart as per 30.06.2015:

* Note: At balance day , the group's mother company legally only holds 50% capital of Data Display GmbH; however as per 30.06.2015 the option was made to acquire another 50%. The legal conversion will be done in new business year.

The day of issue of all reports of all group members/subsidiaries equals the date of the group's report (30.06.2015). For the group's balance, Data Display GmbH will issue an interim balance as per 30.06.2015.

ALTRAC AG made its annual report in Swiss Francs. The year's result as per 30.06.2015 is converted in EUR according to IAS 21 and the concept of functional currency.

At balance day, FORTEC holds 36.6% (PY 36.6%) of the capital stock of Advantec Electronics B.V. Oudenbosch (NL) as well as 25% of EOS Europe B.V., Oudenbosch (NL). These companies are not considered subsidiaries in terms of IAS 27.13, as there is no command/control function.

Besides Advantec Electronics B.V. and EOS Europe B.V. are non-associated companies according to IAS 28.2 i.V.m. IAS 28.6, as the indication catalogue of IAS 28.5 not being relevant. As concerns companies with shares of 20 to 50 %, it is foreseen in general that these are non- associated companies, unless it is assumed that there is considerable influence. We assume the latter, because there is no affiliation, nor important decisions made, nor important business between us and these companies, no exchange of management personnel and no important technical information/date to be provided. Therefore, consolidation of both companies is omitted.

4) Consolidation Basics

According to law and regulations, the reports of each company were issued for completion of the group's report in accordance with the valid balancing and evaluation methods of FORTEC Elektronik AG and/or appropriately adapted for consolidation. Similar positions were added together.

Accounts receivables and liabilities within the group were eliminated; hand in hand with successful consolidation, all internal sales and revenues/returns were set against costs and purchases.

The group balances corporate mergers according to the acquisition method as soon as the group takes over control. The service acquired hand-in-hand with the identified net assets is principally to be evaluated according to actual cash-value. Profit from acquisition below market-value will be listed in statement of comprehensive income. Transactions will be listed as costs/expenditures.

The transferred equivalent includes no amounts whatsoever relevant to the aforementioned transactions.

5) Capital Consolidation

The capital consolidation was made according to IFRS 3 and the benchmark method. Settlement of "fair values" was done with own capital of each subsidiary of the group's financial statement at date of purchase.

The difference of Blum Stromversorgungen GmbH accumulates completely towards goodwill because the time values of the acquired values and debts are in conformity with the relevant book values. At Emtron electronic GmbH, the difference accumulates to "quiet" reserves at capital assets – namely on corporate income tax and goodwill. At ALTRAC AG, there are "quiet" reserves in acquired values and in goodwill.

The differences from capital consolidation – if not applicable to "quiet" reserves – are defined as goodwill in the acquired assets. Goodwill is noted as assets and checked yearly by impairment test. Each reduction in value is immediately and successfully noted.

As a result from capital consolidation of Data Display GmbH, there is a negative difference of TEUR 180, which was listed profitably in the statement of comprehensive income ("bargain purchase").

Details as to respective paragraphs in"Balance Sheet"

According to IAS 1, the group's balance is listed in long- and short-term assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are considered short-term if they are due within one year. According to IAS 1.56, deferred taxes are long-term assets and liabilities.

6) Goodwill

The listed goodwill results from the acquisition of the subsidiaries ALTRAC AG, Blum Stromversorgungen GmbH and Emtron electronic GmbH (company values).

As payment generating units and same as last year, the segments "data visualisation" and "power supplies" were identified as individually generating payment units for business year 2014/15.

As per 30.06.2015, ALTRAC's book value of goodwill for power supplies changed to EUR 3.072.581 (PY EUR 2.632.016) because of exchange-rate differences.

The goodwill difference to previous year amounts to TEUR 441(PY TEUR 491) and is based on the exchange rate reduction of the Swiss Franc compared to last year and in view of the participation rate of ALTRAC AG. The difference in exchange rate is added to own capital.

In spite of the planed depreciation of goodwill resulting from capital consolidation, a lower value based on impairment test according to IAS 36 i.V.m. IFRS 3 was determined.

This test comprises the listing of the company's identified value based on the discounted cash-flow procedure.

The achievable figure was calculated based on fair value according to the examined prognosis of the ABT Revisionsgesellschaft, Switzerland in comparison with the 5 years' expectations made by company management. For the period after the 5th year, a terminal value was stated in view of the up-date of last project year. These projects/plans are calculated based on gathered experiences, current business results and best possible management estimations as regards future development of specific facts in consideration of constant turnover, unchanged gross margin and reduced company expenses.

For the impairment test, a specific important capital cost rate after tax is necessary using the capital asset pricing model. Its components are risk-free interest of 2.04 %, a market risk percentage as well as a surplus as to the financial risk of 10%, an inflationary adjustment as well as a Beta-rate of 0.80. The impairment test was made according to a certain capital cost value of 8%.

The intrinsic value of the mentioned goodwill may also occur when terminal value reduces by 5% or at a change of discount rate of + 3.0% (PY- 0.5 %). When impairment test during past BY and previous year was done, there were no decreases in value of either business or company value.

7) Intangible and Tangible Assets

The development of asset at historical purchase costs and depreciation in business year are to be seen in the "consolidated gross fixed assets movement".

Intangible and tangible assets (no self-made assets) are reduced to purchase costs for in-time depreciation. Exclusively linear depreciations were made.

The depreciation standards are as follows:

Software 3 – 5 years
Vehicles 3 – 6 years
Tools 4 years
Office furniture 3 – 5 years
Operation/Business equipment 4 – 10 years

Low value industrial goods are depreciated on a linear basis within 5 years.

Depreciations on intangible and tangible assets are considered in the "consolidated income statement" under no. 6 depreciations. The methods of depreciation, their period of use as well as remaining amounts will be examined and changed accordingly at each balance day.

Each profit and/or loss from assets will be listed in the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income".

In the "consolidated gross fixed assets movement" an additional column "differences in currency exchange rates" is added. Here, the differences in assets of Altrac AG are listed based on exchange differences at balance day of this independent foreign company at various exchange rate.

As concerns the acquired subsidiary of Data Display GmbH in BY, a separate column was added in the "Statement of Financial Assets" listing acquisitions from first consolidation. The purchased capital of Data Display GmbH was evaluated according to the acquisition method IFRS 3 and registered as accrual according to market value as per consolidation date 30.06.2015.

According to IFRS 7 and IAS 39, financial assets are classified as

  • financial assets, successfully evaluated at appropriate time value

  • credits or obligations

  • financial investments with expiry date

Further evaluation

The group differentiates the financial assets as to their classification:

  • financial assets, successfully evaluated at appropriate time value

There are no financial assets evaluated at appropriate time value.

  • credits or account receivables

Credits and account receivables are non-derivative financial instruments at fix and noted payments, not noted in the market. At first statement and as evaluation, such instruments will be evaluated as purchase costs minus possible decrease in value. These losses are included in the "consolidated income statement" as financial expenses.

  • financial assets available-for-sale

After first evaluation and for further report periods, these financial assets available for sale will be evaluated at time value. Not realised profit or loss will be stated as other results in the market value statement.

  • decrease in value of financial assets

At each balance day, the group examines if there are signs of decrease in value of a financial asset or a group of financial assets.

In the affirmative, the amount of decrease in value is the difference between book value and cash value of expected future cash flow.

b) Financial Obligations

First statement and Evaluation

As per IFRS 7 and IAS 39, financial obligations are considered obligations evaluated at time value, credits and receivables, loans or others.

The group states the classification of his financial obligations for the first time and at time value. These financial obligations include receivables from deliveries and service as well as others.

Further Evaluation

The group differentiates the financial assets as to their classification:

  • financial assets, successfully evaluated at appropriate time value

There are no financial assets evaluated at appropriate time value.

  • credits or account receivables

Credits and account receivables are non-derivative financial instruments as concerns fix and noted payment terms, not noted at the market. At first statement and as evaluation, such instruments will be evaluated as purchase costs minus possible decrease in value.

Drop-out risk for payments and/or equivalent is not relevant, as our business partners are of best reputation as concerns monetary and capital aspects.

Drop-out risk of corporate tax credit amounting to EUR 58.864,39 (PY EUR 65) included in longterm liabilities does not exist. Therefore, drop-out risk of 30% is same as last year.

A liquidity risk as per IFRS 7.39 for "Liabilities re: deliveries and service" does not exit, since payments/liabilities have already been covered at balance day.

Other liabilities are also been paid at most at balance day.

Both the drop-out risk as well as liquidity risk could endanger operative business, yet there is no danger as to the company's existence.

Auditors' Opinion/Statement

Based on the group's final balancing I herewith state to have issued to the company the following confirmation as per IDW PS 400:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by FORTEC Elektronik AG, Landsberg, comprising the statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, together with the group management report for the fiscal year from 01. July 2014 to 30. June 2015. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management report in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Sec. 315a (1) HGB ["Handelsgesetzbuch": "German Commercial Code"] are the responsibility of the parent company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report based on our audit. In addition, it is our obligation to evaluate whether the consolidated financial statement is in accordance with IFRS.

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Sec. 317 HGB and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and in the group management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures.

The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit.

The audit includes assessing the annual financial statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management report.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Sec. 315a (1) HGB and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group in accordance with these requirements. The group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group's position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development."
