With facilities equipped with the latest medical technology, Genolier Swiss Medical Network is synonymous with reliability, knowledge and well-being.

the shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Forward! GSMN is embarking upon a new era with its sights set firmly on the future. The summer of 2010 was marked by a clash between shareholders which led to the convening of an Extraordinary General Meeting on 6 September 2010. With the election of seven new members to the Board of Directors, this meeting put an end to a conflict that was detrimental to the stability of our Group and disruptive to our doctors and employees, and it endowed our company with governing bodies that conform to our corporate governance statutes. Alongside Antoine Kohler and the undersigned existing Board Members who were re-elected, Dr Christian Le Dorze, Chairman of the Vitalia Group, Dr Cedric George, a key shareholder of Klinik Pyramide, Dr Philippe Glasson, physician in charge of Clinique de Genolier, and Mr Johannes Boot, manager of the Lincoln Vale Fund, all joined the Board, providing it with new medical and financial expertise.

One must bear in mind that Genolier Swiss Medical Network is a recently established company, with both the inevitable teething problems and all the intrinsic qualities that represent a great potential in a sector with strong economic prospects which is also essential for the well-being of the population. Being a shareholder means acknowledging these two aspects and accepting them. Being a director means working tirelessly to correct the weak points and lead our company towards success and profitability, improving its management structure and processes in line with the company's size and financial resources. GSMN's vision is to create a major Swiss healthcare player present in a majority of cantons. This long-term objective is ambitious, but our aim is to do everything necessary to safeguard the survival of private medicine in Switzerland and ensure the permanence of our establishments, based on the activity of independent physicians. In this context, our failure to acquire the Klinik Stephanshorn in St Gallen during this summer's crisis, despite having reached the final stage of negotiations, constitutes a major strategic setback for our Group and will cause a significant delay in our development. That said, we are determined to pursue our efforts in the months and years to come and will explore every attractive opportunity allowing us to achieve our strategic goals.

At the operational level, the progress of business in the first half was rather subdued, as the increase in turnover and profit was essentially due to the acquisition of Bethanien. Group turnover rose by 37% to CHF 97.8 million and EBITDA by 23% to CHF 7.5 million. Restructuring operations and new projects adversely affected the Group's profitability, but most activities are showing positive progression.

Turnover and profitability of Clinique de Genolier fell slightly; a complete refurbishment of the operating theatres was begun, with the work expected to last 12 months and be completed in spring 2011. The investment of about CHF 12 million will endow Clinique de Genolier with a latest-generation operating theatre, comprising five rooms instead of four and thereby increasing the clinic's capacity by over 25%. The Centre medico-chirurgical des Eaux-Vives, which is linked to Clinique de Genolier and comprises, in particular, a cancer and radio-oncology unit, was particularly hard hit by the opening of a second private radiotherapy centre. The Centre will be enhancing its oncology offering with the arrival of several new specialists in 2010. Its link to Clinique de Genolier allows it to benefit from more than 15 years' experience in the field.

This autumn, a car park with 45 spaces and a first class radiology facility will sustain the fast-growing activity of Clinique de Montchoisi. With 14% growth in the first half, Montchoisi has confirmed its leadership in ophthalmology, and the radiology facility will make it yet more attractive to orthopaedic doctors.

In October 2009, Clinique Valmont ended its cardiac rehabilitation activity in order to focus on neurology and orthopaedics. This strategy has proved successful, as EBITDA has risen slightly despite a 22% fall in turnover. The restructuring plan anticipates a return to profitability in 2011.

In Fribourg, Clinique Générale has reached cruising speed with stable turnover and EBITDA. The refurbishment of an additional floor has enabled new private rooms to be created, supplementing the existing offering. A gynaecology centre has been opened and Clinique Générale will develop a range of services for women here.

GSMN's latest acquisition, Privatklinik Bethanien, has becomes the Group's most important centre in German-speaking Switzerland. With close to 200 physicians, Bethanien had a turnover of CHF 27 million in the first half and has substantial growth potential. GSMN intends to draw on the expertise at Bethanien to promote its development in the region.

We have made many contacts with a view to acquisitions, cooperation and synergies. In the next 12 to 18 months, we hope to make new acquisitions which will enable us to rapidly increase our coverage and size. The main priority will be German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino, in accordance with our national strategy. In the French-speaking part of Switzerland, our presence in the Canton of Geneva will need to be reinforced.

We will be making sustained efforts in the months ahead to re-establish confidence, recover a sense of calm and restore the image of our Group. We will need the support of all the actors at GSMN who remained loyal to our Group during the crisis, despite the turbulence. We wish to take this opportunity to thank them. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the shareholders who placed their trust in us, a trust we reciprocate, so that together we may return to a dynamic of constructive development and positive allure.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

1 General information

Genolier Swiss Medical Network SA (hereafter «The Company») has its registered and principal offices at 1272 Genolier, Switzerland. The Company's purposes consists of holding interests in financial, commercial and industrial enterprises in Switzerland and abroad, in areas such as medical treatment and healthcare.

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2010 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 12 October 2010 and comprise the Company, its subsidiaries and its interests in associates (together, the Group).

2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2010 have been prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 12, Interim Reporting.

3 Change to Swiss GAAP FER

The change of accounting standard from IFRS to Swiss GAAP FER had following impacts on the accounting policies described in the Group's 2009 annual report:

  • • Goodwill Under IFRS, goodwill is recognised as an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life and tested annually for impairment. In accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, goodwill must be recognised as an intangible asset, usually amortised over a period of five years, or offset against equity at the date of acquisition. The Group decided to offset the goodwill against equity to enable comparison with previous years statements.
  • • Pension plan Under IFRS, the Group's pension schemes are considered as defined benefit plans and require an annual actuarial calculation to determine pension net asset or liability. In accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, an annual assessment based on the financial statements of the pension fund determines whether the Group has economic obligation or benefit. Assessment of prior years did not result in economic obligation or benefit and therefore the Group, under Swiss GAAP FER, has not recorded any asset in connection with the Group's pension schemes. Hence the Group also reversed related deferred tax liabilities.
  • • Direct acquisition costs Under IFRS, the direct acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. In accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, these costs are included in the total cost of the business combination at the date of the acquisition. The acquisition of Privatklinik Bethanien took place in 2010. Thus the related directly attributable costs have been restated.
  • • Share based payments The Group has equity-settled payment transactions (share option plans). Under IFRS the grant date fair value of options granted to employees are recognised in profit or loss as personnel expenses with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period, if any. All plans have a service condition attached to them. This issue is not addressed by Swiss GAAP FER and the Group decided not to recognised the charges related to share based payments but will disclose all required information.

8 Subsequent events

The company held an extraordinary general shareholders' meeting on 6 September 2010 during which previous members of the board of directors were re-elected and new members appointed. These elections put an end to the shareholder fight that started at the annual shareholder's general meeting of 9 June 2010. The audit committee is in the process of evaluating expenses incurred during the third quarter for investigations and legal assistance. The Group cannot yet assess the outcome of this process. Accordingly, the effects of these investigations are not recorded in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2010.

Maximum exposure as per 12 October 2010 for the litigation is estimated to be (in thousands of CHF) CHF 3'535, of which CHF 3'346 directly invoiced to the Group. This amount includes CHF 1'182 lawyer fees, CHF 693 PWC fees, CHF 904 consultant fees, CHF 68 administrative expenses, CHF 383 salaries and CHF 116 for other expenses.

The board of directors has requested BMP Associates in Lausanne to review the exact nature of the contractual obligations resulting in these expenses for the purpose of allocating properly these costs.

As a consequence of the acquisition of Klinik Stephanshorn by a competitor, the Group will expense the directly attributable acquisition-cost of CHF 560 in the third quarter.
