GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT of POLYTEC Holding AG

for the FINANCIAL YEAR 2011

1. Business development and economic situation

Economic development

In 2011, the world economy showed a growth of approximately 3% expanding at roughly the same rate as its long-term average. Economic stimulus programs following the recession in 2009 as well as solid growth in the emerging markets were the main drivers of this favorable development.

But 2011 was also a problematic year for the world economy. The main issue that increasingly dominated as the year progressed was the sovereign debt crisis, which mainly affected the euro zone. And the debate about limiting public debt had a major impact on economic developments in the United States as well.

As in previous years, the emerging economies were responsible for most of the expansion, with their real gross domestic product ris- ing by nearly 6%. Asia was once again the main growth driver with an increase of almost 7%, with China and India leading the way. But an even better development in this region was prevented by sharp rises in inflation rates. It was particularly important for the world economy that the Chinese economy expanded by a good 9%, despite a growth slowdown over the course of the year. Economic developments in the other emerging markets were also generally positive. Eastern Europe achieved GDP growth of 4%, as in 2010; Latin America was not able to match the prior-year growth, but still expanded strongly.

Developments in the industrialized countries were disappoint- ing, however. In Japan, the earthquake disaster in March 2011 inevitably led to an economic slump. The US economy made only sluggish progress, especially when compared with earlier phases of recovery after a recession. The country's unemployment rate remained at an unusually high level, which depressed private consumption. Another negative factor was that the real-estate sector in the United States suffered badly from the crisis and was unable to supply any stimulus. Starting with the discussion about increasing the public debt ceiling and with the threat of temporary insolvency, consumer and business confidence indicators worsened significantly towards the middle of the year. The US economy stabilized encouragingly in the second half of the year, but growth for the full year of less than 2% was anything but satisfactory and significantly lower than the long-term average.

The situation was even more unfavorable in Western Europe, which was impacted by an escalation of the debt crisis in the euro zone. The number of countries receiving assistance from the EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility) increased, and the crisis is meanwhile no longer limited to the smaller peripheral countries. The expansion of the rescue schemes and debt restructuring for Greece were insufficient to prevent concern about possible

contagion effects, and the financial markets reacted with a high degree of nervousness and consequential volatilities. All in all, the economies of the euro zone achieved GDP growth of approximately 1.5% in 2011. Although the German economy once again expanded at an above-average rate of 3%, it was unable to escape from the unfavorable environment and its growth slowed down as the year progressed. In the fourth quarter of the year, economic growth in the euro zone was probably even slightly negative.

Sector development

PRODUCTION

The positive development of the German manufacturers, which started to unfold in the second half of 2010, continued throughout the 2011 business year. In the important automo- tive market of Germany alone, the number of vehicles produced increased by 5.8% to 5.8 million units. Worldwide production of the German car manufacturers grew by 11.5% to 12.9 million vehicles.

Export volumes, a significant pillar of the German automotive indus- try, reached a level of 4.5 million vehicles in the year under review, which corresponds to an increase of 7% compared to the previous year. Thus, the dramatic decline in 2009 was offset within two years and a new record level achieved. Matthias Wissmann, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) said commenting on this development: "Exports remain the strong pillar of automotive production in Germany. We were able to increase our market shares in almost all relevant markets thus further fortify- ing the domestic manufacturing business."

SALES MARKET

The world automotive market showed a robust performance in 2011. While the United States, China, India and Russia posted double-digit growth rates, the European car market declined slightly by 1% to 12.8 million units. In contrast, the Japanese car market recovered more rapidly than expected. As VDA President Wissmann pointed out, "Worldwide registrations of new cars increased by 6% to 65.4 million units in 2011. German car manu- facturers were able to gain additional market shares in Western Europe, Russia, the United States, China, India, Japan and South Korea."

In the year under review, the US market for lightweight vehicles (passenger cars and light trucks) expanded by 10% above the pre- vious year's level to 12.7 million units. For the first time, German car manufacturers sold a total of 1 million lightweight vehicles in the United States, further increasing their market share for the seventh year in a row reaching a level of 8.2%.

After the strong growth rates of the previous years, the Chinese market returned to a normal growth path, recording an 8% in- crease in total car volumes to 12.2 million vehicles compared to 2010.

The Indian car market showed a favorable development towards the end of 2011: despite a restrictive monetary policy and higher petrol prices, the Indian car market expanded by 6% to 2.5 million new car registrations in 2011.

In the year under review, the European commercial vehicle industry was able to increase sales volumes by 9.9% to 1,935,392 units but failed to match the pre-crisis level of 2008 by roughly 25%. In absolute terms, France was the largest market with roughly 0.5 million new car registrations in 2011, which corresponds to a growth rate of 5.6%; whereas Germany with an increase of 17.6% recorded the strongest growth, with new car registrations totaling 0.3 million. In contrast, the Italian and Spanish markets showed a decline of 5% each.

In the heavy-duty truck segment over 16 tons, all major sales markets recorded growth in 2011. In Germany, the number of new registrations in this segment increased by a considerable 23.3%. France and the UK showed the strongest growth rates with increases exceeding 40%. In the European market at large, new registrations rose by 36.0% to 236,512 vehicles in 2011.

Business development and Group situation

General background information

Change to segment reporting

The major part of the Interior Systems business was sold at the end of the first half of 2011. At the same time, the proportion of "non-automotive" business in virtually all the Group's previous operating segments is increasing significantly and sustainably. Other previous dividing lines between the areas of business are also becoming blurred. For instance, the Car Styling division will make increasing use of the injection molding capacity of the Plastics division and the paint-spraying capacity of the Composites division. In consequence, this is leading to a matrix organizational structure for the POLYTEC GROUP.

Accordingly, following the sale of POLYTEC Interior Zaragoza at the end of the year, the management of POLYTEC Holding AG decided to amend the internal management and reporting structure with effect from January 1, 2012. From 2012, the segmentation will no longer be product-oriented, as it has been in recent years, but technology-oriented, with the remaining principal segment, namely "plastic processing", encompassing well over 90% of the Group. This is why the Group will be a "one-segment Group" from 2012.

Business development of the Group

Based on the Group's continued operations adjusted for the main part of the divestment of the Interior Systems business as well as for other effects1), total sales of the POLYTEC GROUP increased by 14.7% to EUR 484.2 million in 2011 compared to 2010. Previous year's sales adjusted for these effects amounted to EUR 422.1 mil- lion. This success is mainly attributable to the positive development of the European automotive industry.

The disposal of the Interior Systems business towards the end of the first half of 2011 led to a decline in consolidated Group sales by 14.6% or EUR 112.7 million to EUR 657.4 million.

As of August 31, 2011 POLYTEC Holding AG acquired PPI Plastic Products Innovation GmbH & Co KG based in Ebensee (A) now re- named POLYTEC Plastics Ebensee GmbH (PPE) instead of expand- ing capacities at a German plant. PPI contributed EUR 5.3 million to total sales in 2011.

Other operating income declined in 2011 by roughly EUR 8.6 million compared to the previous year. Approximately EUR 8.0 million of this decline were attributable to the disposal of the Interior Systems business.

In the year under review, the material ratio, which amounted to 53.1% of total sales in 2010, was reduced by 0.4 percentage points to 52.7% despite higher raw material prices. This positive effect was due to the divestment of the material-intensive Interior Systems business.

In 2011, the personnel ratio increased slightly by 0.2 percentage points to 27.0% compared to the previous year. This increase was mainly driven by higher capacity utilization and personnel-intensive production as a result of the favorable economic development espe- cially during the first nine months of the year under review.

In addition to the decline in other operating income by roughly EUR 23.2 million to EUR 90.0 million due to the disposal of the Interior Systems business, expenses for leased staff also decreased by 21.4% or EUR 5.7 million.

Group EBITDA increased by 13.0% to EUR 61.3 million despite the decline in consolidated Group sales. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 9.3%. The increase in EBITDA includes a deconsolidation gain of EUR 7.2 million resulting from the disposal of the Interior

Systems business. Adjusted for this effect, EBITDA remained stable at the previous year's level.

In addition to the aforementioned deconsolidation gain, this favorable performance was mainly attributable to the positive development of all relevant sales markets as well as to the consistent implementation of optimization measures at the main production plants in the year under review.

At the same time, the disposal of the Interior Systems business also led to a sustainable improvement of the entire cost structure of the Group.

EBIT recorded a significant increase to EUR 42.6 million on a yearon-year basis despite the disposal of the Interior Systems business, which corresponds to an EBIT margin of 6.5%.

The decline in amortization and depreciation by over 30% to EUR 18.7 million in 2011 was mainly attributable to restrictive investments in fixed assets and the divestment of the Interior Systems business.

Development of sales and EBITDA margin

The decline in financial expenses by more than half to EUR -3.3 million in the year under review was mainly attributable to a consid- erable improvement of financing conditions over the short and long term as well as to interest income deriving from an investment in the amount of EUR 30 million as of the balance sheet date on De- cember 31, 2011. The financial result in 2011 amounted to EUR -3.1 million. In the previous year, the financial result of EUR -1.5 million included a positive effect of EUR 6.1 million from the disposal of a 10% stake in Grammer AG at the end of the third quarter 2010.

Including deferred tax effects, the Group's effective tax rate amounted to 10.8% in 2011 and was therefore considerably lower than the full taxation of income due to the conservative measure- ment of tax losses carried forward in the past.

Both the positive development of the automotive industry and the strategic measures implemented at the Group level led to a net profit of EUR 34.5 million. This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 1.54.

The Automotive / Systems segment reported sales of EUR 559.0 million in 2011, a decline of 17.2% compared to the previous year mainly due to the disposal of the Interior Systems business.

POLYTEC Plastics Ebensee GmbH (formerly PPI Plastic Products Innovation GmbH & Co KG), which was acquired as of August 31, 2011, contributed EUR 5.3 million to segment sales.

The solid development of all production areas in the year under review as well as the disposal of the low-margin Interior Systems business led to an improvement of the earnings situation of the segment.

Including a one-off effect from the disposal of the Interior Systems business of EUR 7.2 million, EBITDA increased by 9.4% to EUR 47.7 million. The EBITDA margin, adjusted for these effects, amounts to 7.2%.

A more detailed description of the values related to the deconsoli- dation of the Interior Systems business is provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements under B. 1. A description of the acquired assets and liabilities following the acquisition of PPI Plastic Products Innovation GmbH & Co KG is also available in the explanatory notes.

The Car Styling segment increased its sales by 3.2% to EUR 78.2 million in the year under review. Even if with some delay, the effects of the earthquake catastrophe in Fukushima led to a reduction in the volume of sales of the segment's Japanese customers, resulting in lower sales volumes of original equipment for this market. The sales and earnings situation of the segment was also further impacted by lower-than-expected production volumes for key customers in the small series business area.

In line with the development of sales, segment EBITDA improved slightly to EUR 7.3 million, with the EBITDA margin remaining almost stable at 9.4% compared to the previous year.

The POLYTEC GROUP's total capital expenditure remained almost stable at EUR 17.5 million in the year under review compared to the previous year and was mainly attributable to project-related investments in the construction and further expansion of plants. In the production plant in Lohne, the leading production site for the Plastics business, invest- ments were made in a further production line to meet the high demand for cylinder head covers. In the Composites business area, investments were made at the POLYTEC Compounds plant in Gochsheim for the expansion and modernization of the manufacturing facilities for semifinished mats.

The expansion measures announced in the year under review to be carried out at the plants in Lohne (Germany) and Hörsching (Austria) were started according to plan in the second half of 2011 but did not lead to any significant expenses by year-end 2011.

Due to further restrictive investment activities, the asset ratio of the Group decreased from 38.8% to 35.5% in 2011.

Capital expenditure in tangible assets (in EUR million)

As far as the other key financial figures are concerned, it should be noted that the disposal of the Interior Systems busi- ness led to a significant improvement of key financials.

The equity ratio of the POLYTEC GROUP showed a positive development totaling 45.6% at year-end 2011 due to the Group's favorable earnings situation and the positive effects from the deconsolidation of the Interior Systems business.

The increase in net working capital from EUR 16.5 million to EUR 26.9 million was attributable to both the positive business performance in the year under review and the acquisition of PPI Plastic Products Innovation GmbH & Co KG as of August 31, 2011, which contributed to this increase thanks to the high level of its inventory assets compared to the Group average.

As of the balance sheet date on December 31, 2011, the Group reported net cash of EUR 17.9 million; even after the deduc- tion of all employee-related obligations totaling EUR 17.7 million, the net cash position remained positive. In addition to the Group's favorable business performance in the year under review, this development was mainly attributable to the posi- tive liquidity effects resulting from the disposal of the Interior Systems business.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents EUR million 14.2 -2.8

In the year under review, cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 29.2 million, significantly below the previous year's level. This was mainly attributable to the increase in working capital, which principally resulted from a wider scope of activity as well as from the acquired inventory assets of PPI Plastic Products Innova- tion GmbH & Co KG.

The cash inflow from investing activities of EUR 8.6 million in 2011 was due to the restrictive investment policy of the Group, with capi- tal expenditure for fixed assets increasing only slightly to EUR 17.5 million, as well as to the payments received following the disposal of the Interior Systems business.

The cash outflow from financing activities of EUR –23.6 million was mainly attributable to the repayment of interest-bearing liabilities totaling EUR 22.2 million in the year under review.

Non-financial performance indicators

Environmental protection

Practical environmental protection involves more than just com- pliance with regulatory obligations. Many organizations do more than is legally required and voluntarily introduce an environmental management system with the aim of continuously improving their environmental performance and reducing the negative impact of their operations on the environment. ISO 14001 is the internatio- nally recognized standard for putting in place such an environmen- tal management system. All the Group's major plants have received certification in accordance with this standard.

Dealing carefully and responsibly with natural resources is an essential part of the POLYTEC GROUP's business activities. For a company specializing in processing plastics, the avoidance of waste is particularly important. In those plants, which work mainly with injection molding technologies, every effort is made to regranulate the waste material and channel it back into the production process.

The economic (sparing) use of raw materials or the use of alternative materials is also an integral aspect of all corporate research and development activities.

Employees

The average number of those employed1) by the POLYTEC GROUP and their geographic distribution in the years from 2009 to 2011 is as follows:

A strong customer focus and ongoing process optimization to enhance profitability, environmental-friendliness and efficiency are top priorities for the POLYTEC GROUP. To ensure that it is well equipped to face the dynamic market challenges that lie ahead, the POLYTEC GROUP promotes the further education and professional training of its employees, both through in-house educational and vocational training measures and with the sup- port of external educational institutions. Alongside the further development of technical know-how and manual skills, strong emphasis is placed on the teaching of foreign languages, as these are essential for the business success of an international company like POLYTEC.

Executive remuneration packages include a performance-based component to promote identification with the company and a strong sense of responsibility.

Subsequent events after the balance sheet date

By virtue of a purchase agreement dated December 23, 2011, the Zaragoza site (POLYTEC Interior Zaragoza S.L.) was transferred to Módulos Ribera Alta S.L.U., Zaragoza, Spain, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celulosa Fabril S.A., Zaragoza, Spain, by means of an asset deal. The transfer of beneficial ownership took place when the deal was completed on January 3, 2012.

The disposal of the Zaragoza site was the final step towards the POLYTEC GROUP's complete withdrawal from the area of Interior Systems. The sale of the assets by way of an asset deal will have a positive effect on earnings of EUR 0.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Events after the balance sheet date that are relevant for the valuation on the balance sheet date, such as pending legal disputes or claims for damages and any other obligations or anticipated losses that must be disclosed in accordance with IAS 10 (Contin- gencies and Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date) are reflected in the present consolidated financial statements.

Forecast Report

SECTOR

Cars

The business prospects of the world automotive industry for 2012 are relatively good. However, future developments will largely depend on the further unfolding of the European sovereign debt crisis currently underway. If the situation on the financial markets is going to stabilize contributing to strength- ening consumer confidence, an increase in global car sales of up to 4% appears feasible. On the contrary, under more adverse circumstances, car sales might also show a slight decline in 2012. The main growth drivers will remain the Asian countries as in the previous years. The Chinese and Indian car markets are expected to grow by 8% and 10% respectively in 2012. But also the resilient US market is anticipated to expand by 5%, whereas the euro zone is expected to report only a slight increase in 2012, provided that the financial markets will continue to stabi- lize and consumers will regain their confidence.

Commercial vehicles

The global commercial vehicle market showed a robust perfor- mance in 2011 as in the previous year. For 2012, a further increase of 7% is anticipated in the world market for heavy commercial vehicles (over 16 tons). In Western Europe, heavy truck sales volumes are expected to grow by 4% provided that the aforementioned favorable conditions will occur. For the POLYTEC GROUP, however, this vehicle category will increas- ingly lose importance due to a switch in technology in favor of injection molding. The world market for lightweight commercial vehicles (up to 16 tons) is expected to move sideways or show a slight increase in 2012 depending on country-specific economic developments.

Group results forecast

Excluding unpredictable negative effects resulting from an escalation of the European sovereign debt crisis, the potential instability of financial markets and the lack of consumer confi- dence, the POLYTEC GROUP expects Group sales to amount to approximately EUR 500 million for the full year 2012. Based on the Group's continuing operations adjusted for the effects from the disposal of the Interior Systems business, operating results are anticipated to match the level of 2011.

3. REPORTON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

With the aim to continuously improve competitiveness and busi- ness success, research and development activities across all segments of the POLYTEC GROUP focus intensively on new technological developments and advances in both the automotive and non-automotive areas, always in close consultation and col- laboration with corporate customers. Materials and manufacturing processes currently under series production are also constantly being further developed.

In the 2011 business year, the main focus was once again on the use of lightweight components to reduce the weight of individual parts, on increased cost-efficiency by means of intelligent func- tional integration and on new ecological and sustainable product innovations.

The POLYTEC GROUP operates several development centers. In keeping with the Group strategy, each of these development centers specializes in the products that are manufactured at the particular plant.

Automotive / Systems PLASTICS

The competence center in the north German town of Lohne is mainly responsible for the development of injection-molded parts predominantly for the engine compartment and, to an increasing extent, also for the growing non-automotive business area, as well as for exterior components for both trucks and passenger cars produced in small series. Development work ranges from the substitution of aluminum parts with plastic parts to the further development of existing products. The test area has been further extended to quickly meet constantly rising cus- tomer demands and to support the development of brand new components, with a view to further consolidating the company's pioneering role in the field of engine component parts, as exem- plified by the following examples.

For the separation of oil from air, a procedure that plays an increasingly important role, the POLYTEC GROUP has for several years successfully used an integrated switched cyclone-type oil mist separator. In the latest cylinder cover heads, the company has incorporated the POLYSWIRL oil separator, which is a cen- trifugal separator that sets the gas stream into rotation and separates the oil drops from the air. The POLYSWIRL oil separa- tor has already been incorporated in the cylinder cover heads of VW, Audi, Daimler, BMW and PSA. POLYDRAIN is a modular oil drain valve to remove oil from the blow-by gases of engines and can be used both as a single module and as a functional ele- ment in POLYTEC's cylinder head covers. POLYVENT, a POLYTEC proprietary development, is an innovative pressure control valve for particularly compact gasoline motors. The patented KEYLOCK system, which represents another highlight in this segment, al- lows for the fast connection of lines. POLYTEC uses innovative projectile injection technology (PIT) for the production of cooling water pipes and was awarded a prize for this technology at the EuroMold, the world's largest fair for mold-making and tooling, design and product development. During the production process, a projectile pushes the melted core of the plastic through the cavity and back into the machine tool instead of into an overflow as was previously the case.

Automotive / Systems COMPOSITES

In the Composites business area, the focus is above all on finding new and better applications for long fiber-reinforced thermo- setting and thermoplastic materials (glass, carbon and basalt fibers). Other key development activities are centered upon in- creasing the efficiency of ongoing production and optimizing the processing of SMC (Sheet Molding Compounds), and LFT (Long Fiber Thermoplastic) und GMT (Glass Mat Thermoplastic) parts including their surface coating and varnishing processes.

The constant further development of proprietary SMC semifinished parts and the development of tailor-made solutions for both internal projects and external customers are also important topics at POLYTEC Composites. In this context, the Composites division was able to successfully realize a host of important proj- ects for a wide variety of industries and ultimately bring them to series production.

As of January 2011, two trunk lids and a SMC top storage compartment lid for the BMW 6 Series Convertible (followed by the Coupé in the middle of 2011) went into production. These products fulfill the highest Class-A surface quality standards and are pre-assembled to the sheet-metal body-shell parts of the vehicle before undergoing online cathodic dip painting (CDP) and coating processes at the customer's plants. The CDP and coating processes can reach temperatures of up to 200° C placing considerable demands on the materials. Thanks to its high temperature resistance SMC is therefore ideally suited for the production of these components.

In the non-automotive area, a new solar industry product for Bosch was successfully developed and brought to series pro- duction in the year under review. An intelligent solar collector housing made of SMC as the supporting element for a solar thermal module replaces a previous assembly consisting of a large number of single components such as aluminum profiles, plates and fastening elements. This technical solution is brand new and was awarded an innovation prize by the German Federa- tion of Reinforced Plastics (AVK).

Driven by the needs and demands of the car industry, light- weight construction has become another key area of development work at the POLYTEC Composites division. This involves a num- ber of related topics such as sustainability and increasing the range of electrically powered vehicles through smart lightweight construction. POLYTEC Composites materials and processing technologies offer a wide range of possibilities in this area such as the use of carbon fiber-reinforced materials or material with reduced density. A number of customers have awarded POLYTEC Composites compelling development projects for vehicles that are due to be launched onto the market from 2013 and these will remain in the pipeline beyond 2011. Demand in this sec- tor is continuously growing. POLYTEC is therefore working with unabated intensity to maintain its competitiveness to win further customer contracts for the series production of lightweight solutions.

CAR STYLING

The business activities of the Car Styling segment cover the en- tire process chain even if this division mainly focuses on devel- oping original accessories and small series. From initial design concepts and clay models (M 1:1) and digitalization and CAD construction up to the creation of rapid-prototyping-models, the customer is offered a full-service package, as is standard practice in series development. But, since development and lead times in the original accessories segment are considerably shorter than in series production, processes have to be geared to- wards high flexibility and short response times, without, however, compromising documentation and quality assurance. All necessary production tools and devices are developed and manufactured in an in-house tool shop and mold construction department, which also contributes to shortening implementation periods.

In the area of advance developments, the Car Styling division mainly focuses on process engineering, and more specifically, on constantly improving PUR-R-RIM materials. Thus the use of carbon fiber as a filling for polyurethane (PUR) is currently under scrutiny to improve weight efficiency in the area of light- weight automotive construction. At present, development work also concentrates upon new possibilities for treating the surfaces of PUR components.

In the area of innovation management, a team of experts from dif- ferent functional units of the division is currently exploring the po- tential of adjusting the current product range to future challenges. This involves, on the one hand, developing additional features for components in the current product portfolio (for instance USB charging as an armrest accessory) and, on the other hand, adapt- ing today's products to the mobility requirements of tomorrow (for instance rear spoilers with photovoltaic solar panels).

In 2011, POLYTEC GROUP spent approximately EUR 11.0 million (2010: approx. EUR 16.0 million) of its sales on research and de- velopment activities. The significant decrease is attributable to the divestment of the Interior Systems business.

4. KEY FEATURES OF THE INTERNAL CONTROLAND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH REGARDTO THEACCOUNTING PROCESS

The Board of Directors is responsible for implementing an adequate internal control and risk management system for the accounting process and financial reporting. Appropriate organi- zational measures ensure that all relevant legal requirements to make complete, correct, timely and orderly entries in the books and other records are met.

The entire process from procurement to payment is subject to strict rules and guidelines that are intended to avoid any risks these processes may entail. These measures and rules include the separation of functions, signature authorization policies and signatory powers for authorizing payments on an exclusively collective basis and restricted to a small number of employees, as well as system-supported checks by the software in use.

By using a standardized, Group-wide financial reporting system, together with ad hoc reporting on major events, the Board of Directors is kept constantly abreast of all relevant issues. The Supervisory Board is informed in Supervisory Board meetings, held at least once every quarter, about the current business development, including operative planning and the medium-term strategy of the Group, with direct and immediate information be- ing provided to the Supervisory Board in special cases. Internal control and risk management are among the topics dealt with at the Audit Committee meetings.

5. DISCLOSURES ONCAPITAL, SHARE, VOTING AND CONTROLRIGHTSAND ASSOCIATED OBLIGATIONS

The share capital of POLYTECH Holding AG is split into 22,329,585 bearer shares with a par value of EUR 1.00 each. The Group has no other types of shares. All shares have been admitted to trading in the prime market segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange.

Shareholders with a stake of over 10.0% of the share capital as of the balance sheet date on December 31, 2011 included:

Compared to the balance sheet date on December 31, 2010, this corresponds to a reduction in the shareholding of 4.2%. Notice of this reduction was given to the company on January 28, 2011 in the form of a voting rights announcement pursuant to section 91 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act.

The title to 16% of the company's share capital, which had been pledged as security for the acquisition of a working capital line of credit in 2009, was reassigned to Huemer Holding GmbH in January 2011 once the borrowed funds had been fully repaid.

Distribution of voting rights in greater detail:

  • • Huemer Holding GmbH 16.00%
  • • Huemer Invest GmbH 10.64%

Notes tothe Consolidated financial statements of polytecholdingag

for the financial year 2011

A. General information

The POLYTEC Group is an internationally operating corporation fo- cusing on the automotive and plastics industry with its head office in Austria. In the automotive industry, the Group is working as supplier of exterior and engine compartment components in the high-volume market segment (Automotive / Systems division) as well as a suppli- er of original equipment and components for small and medium series (Car Styling division). Furthermore, the Group produces PU plastic parts as well as machines for their production for other industries.

The consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2011 of the POLYTEC Holding AG (hereinafter referred to as "Group" or "POLYTEC GROUP") were prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and their interpretations in line with the EU standard practice.

The headquarters of the POLYTEC Holding AG is located in Hörsching, Austria, and is listed in the "Landes- und Handelsregister Linz" [Commercial Registry of the City of Linz] under the number FN 197646 g.

All standards, which had to be mandatorily applied for the financial years, were applied with regard to the preparation of the present consolidated financial statements.

The following new or amended IFRS and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) were adopted by the EU and are applicable for the first time in the financial year 2011:

• IFRS 1 (revised): Limited exemption of first-time adopters from comparative disclosures in accordance with IFRS 7

  • • IAS 24 (revised): Related Party Disclosures
  • • IAS 32 (revised): Classification of Rights Issues
  • • IFRIC 14 (new): Prepayments in the context of minimum fund- ing requirements
  • • IFRIC 19 (new): Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
  • • Amendments to a number of existing IFRS as a result of the annual improvements project in 2010.

The new or amended standards, which are applicable from January 1, 2011, do not lead to any material changes in the consolidated finan- cial statements of the POLYTEC GROUP. As a result, the accounting and measurement policies applied in the 2011 financial year remain essentially unchanged compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010.

Application of the following standards published by the IASB is not yet mandatory and they have not been applied by the POLYTEC GROUP to date either:

This list represents the changes relevant for POLYTEC GROUP. The resulting repercussions on future transactions are currently being evaluated.

The revised IAS 19 standard envisages the abolition of the corridor method, which had been hitherto applied by the POLYTEC GROUP. The revised IAS 19 standard will be applied by the POLYTEC GROUP starting from the 2013 business year.

The new IFRS 9 envisages far-reaching changes with regard to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, the impairment of financial assets and the rules on hedge accounting. Because of the ongoing revision of the standard, the impact on the POLYTEC GROUP cannot be reliably estimated at present. Given the current status of the project, application of IFRS 9 will only be mandatory for financial years commencing on January 1, 2015.

With regard to the future application of additional standards and interpretations that have not yet come into effect and have not yet been applied by the POLYTEC GROUP, no significant material changes to the reported assets, liabilities or other disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are expected.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros (TEUR). When adding up rounded amounts and informa- tion given as a percentage, rounding differences may occur due to the use of automatic calculation methods.

The profit and loss statement of the Group is prepared in accord- ance with the total cost accounting method.

Pursuant to Article 245 a UGB [Austrian Business Code], the present consolidated financial statements replace the consolidated financial statements, which would otherwise have to be prepared in accordance with Article 244 et seq. UGB.

B. Principles of consolidation

1. Basis of consolidation

The basis of consolidation is determined in accordance with the principles of the IAS 27 (Consolidated and Separate Financial State- ments and Accounting for Investments in Subsidiaries) in connection with SIC 12 (Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities). The parent company is the POLYTEC Holding AG, Hörsching. The consolidated financial statements include all companies by full consolidation, which are under a controlling influence by the parent company. Thus, five national subsidiaries (previous year: four) and 21 international sub- sidiaries (previous year: 24) were included in addition to the parent company; these subsidiaries are under the legal and factual control of the POLYTEC GROUP. Nine companies (previous year: twelve), which were not included, are not important for the consolidated financial statements. The balance sheet date for all companies in- cluded in the consolidated financial statements is December 31, 2011.

Special purpose entities are included in the consolidated financial statements provided that they are under the controlling influence of the POLYTEC GROUP.

An overview of the fully consolidated companies can be found in annex 5 of the notes of the consolidated financial statements.

The annual financial statements of subsidiaries are included into the consolidated financial statements from the time of acquisition until the time of disposal. A subsidiary will first be included when the re- spective parent company is actually assigned the control with regard to the assets and the business activities of this company.

In the financial year under review, the basis of consolidation changed as follows:

Basis of consolidation Full consolidation
As of Dec. 31, 2010 29
Retirement due to company divestments -3
Company acquisitions 1
As of Dec. 31, 2011 27
thereof foreign companies 21

The Interior-Systems business was transferred to Toyota Bo- shoku Europe N.V., Zaventem, Belgium by virtue of the purchase agreement dated June 9, 2011. Transfer of beneficial ownership took place when the deal was completed on June 30, 2011. The Board of Directors of POLYTEC decided to sell the Interior-Systems business despite the outstanding technological expertise present within the business. The motives for this strategic deci- sion were the limited prospects for the global positioning needed in this area and the extreme competitive pressures exerted by a few global competitors. Following a thorough examination by the Board of Directors of POLYTEC, Toyota Boshoku emerged as the most sensible purchaser both in the interests of shareholders and the customers and employees at the sites affected.

The divested business achieved annual sales of approximately EUR 320 million with roughly 2,000 employees in the 2010 financial year. The key products of the Interior-Systems busi- ness included door panels, roof liners and pillar coverings. The sites in South Africa (Polytec Interior South Africa Proprietary Ltd.) and in Poland (Polytec Interior Polska Sp.z.o.o.) are af- fected by the sale, as are four sites in Germany (POLYTEC In- terior GmbH). These sites were transferred by the sale of 100% of the shares in the respective companies. The sites in Hoden- hagen (formerly part of POLYTEC Riesselmann GmbH & Co KG) and Waldbröl (POLYTEC Intex GmbH & Co KG) were transferred by means of asset deals. The operations of POLYTEC Automo- tive GmbH & Co KG had already been transferred to POLYTEC Interior GmbH in the form of an asset deal on April 30, 2011. With regard to the sale of the Interior-Systems site in Spain (Zaragoza), which was not sold as part of this transaction, please refer to the disclosures under E.2 Events after the balance sheet date.

In total, the sale of the Interior-Systems business led to POLYTEC's remaining business areas being significantly strength- ened and to an increase in the average operating profit margin achieved in the Group. It gives the management the requisite flexibility to be able to expand the core areas of the Group fur- ther in line with its long-term strategy. At the same time, the management of POLYTEC is advocating the further expansion of its market position in the areas of composites, injection mold- ing components and car styling as a matter of priority. Possible acquisitions to complement POLYTEC's core business strategically are investigated on an ongoing basis.

The following companies were deconsolidated in the year under review:

The contribution of the Interior-Systems business to the figures shown in the consolidated income statement is as follows in 2011:

TEUR
Net sales 160,844
Income after taxes 402

The profit or loss from the sale of the Interior-Systems business was calculated by comparing the net assets sold with the con- sideration received allowing for translation differences previously recognised direct in equity.

TEUR
Consideration received 24,454
Net assets sold -18,768
Cumula†ive translation differences that in the case of loss of control
in the subsidiaries were reclassified from equity
1.525
Gain on disposal 7,211

The gain on disposal was recognised in the deconsolidation profit or loss item in the consolidated income statement.

In addition to the purchase price, the consideration received includes sale-related expenses. Allowing for the cash and cash equivalents of the divested Interior-Systems business of TEUR 6,179, cash flow of TEUR 24,128 is produced.

The net assets divested as a result of the sale of the Interior-Systems business are as follows:

TEUR
Fixed assets 34,327
Current assets 88,765
Non-current provisions and liabilities -16,902
Current provisions and liabilities -87,422
Net assets of the Interior-Systems business as of June 30, 2011 18,768

A purchase agreement concerning the acquisition of 100% of the shares in PPI Plastic Products Innovation GmbH & Co KG was signed with PPI Immobilien Gesellschaft GmbH on August 3, 2011. The purchase price amounted to TEUR 1,188.

The assets and liabilities of PPI Plastic Products Innovation GmbH & Co KG acquired were recognised at the following fair values on the acquisition date, namely August 31, 2011:

TEUR Carrying value prior
to the acquisition
Fair value at the time of
the first consolidation
Intangible assets 21 21
Tangible assets 4,395 5,295

Other liabilities -1,128 -1,728
Net assets acquired 974 1,199
Purchasing price 1,188
Difference 11

The remaining negative difference was recognised as income thus increasing the net profit.

The contribution of the company to the figures shown in the consolidated income statement is as follows in 2011:

TEUR
Net sales 5.345
Income after taxes -561

To simplify the Group structure, the limited partner's shares in POLYTEC EMC Engineering GmbH & Co KG and in POLYTEC Elastoform GmbH & Co KG were each transferred into their respective limited liability companies acting as general partners by means of the transfer agreement dated October 27, 2011. As a result, POLYTEC EMC Engineering GmbH & Co KG and POLYTEC Elastoform GmbH & Co KG were extinguished without being liquidated. Their corporate assets were transferred to POLYTEC EMC Engineering GmbH and POLYTEC Elastoform GmbH respectively by way of universal succession.

By virtue of the merger agreement dated December 19, 2011, POLYTEC Riesselmann GmbH & Co KG was merged with POLYTEC Plastics Germany GmbH & Co KG (formerly POLYTEC Intex GmbH & Co KG) by way of merger by acquisition. Here, too, the aim was to simplify the Group structure. The merger was entered in the Commercial Register of the Oldenburg District Court on January 24, 2012. This conversion has reduced the number of consolidated companies by one company.

2. Methods of consolidation

The consolidation of investments for acquisitions until March 31, 2004 was performed on the basis of the book value method by offsetting the acquisition costs of the investments against the equity ratio allotted to these investments at the time of acquisi- tion. A goodwill will be assigned to the assets as far as possible. A badwill was analyzed in previous years for its reason of ac- crual and, if affecting future losses and expenses, recorded in accordance with IAS 22 as income at the time of occurrence of these losses and expenses.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" was applied for income occurred after March 31, 2004. Thus, the consolidation of investments was performed on the basis of the revaluation method (method concerning all assets and liabilities at fair value, also in the case of non-controlling interests and complete disclosure of the hidden reserves, independent from the amount of the minor- ity interests). The investment book value is opposed by the proportionate, re-evaluated equity of the subsidiary (purchase accounting).

Remaining differences will be capitalized as goodwill. Goodwill occurred prior to January 1, 2005 were recorded with the book value of December 31, 2004 and are subject to an annual impairment test.

If the acquisition costs are lower as the net assets, the differ- ence (negative consolidation difference) will be recognized in the income statement of the acquisition period.

Further information with regard to the effects of the decon- solidation carried out in the 2011 financial year can be found in section B. 1.

Non-controlling interests are disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements under equity in accordance with IAS 27.

All accounts receivables and payables as well as expenses and earnings resulting from transactions between the consolidated companies were eliminated by taking into account the principle of materiality. Intermediate results from Group-internal deliveries were also eliminated as far as they are material.

3. Currency translation

Business transactions with foreign currencies

All transactions in foreign currencies were valued at the ex- change rate of the transaction date in the individual companies. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are con- verted at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Resulting exchange rate differences are recorded in the profit and loss statement of the Group.

Translation of individual financial statements in foreign currencies

The functional currency of non-euro subsidiaries is the corresponding national currency; however, this does not apply to the Turkish com- pany, whose functional currency is the euro. Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries were converted with the reference exchange rate of the European Central Bank on the balance sheet date. Posi- tions of the profit and loss statement of the Group were converted with average exchange rates of the financial year.

Exchange rate differences of monetary positions, which, from the economic point of view, belong to a foreign company like, for example, long-term receivables and loans will be accounted with the Group equity capital and will be recorded under the position "Differences from the currency translation".

The following currency exchange rates were used:

Exchange rate on
the balance sheet date
2011 2010 Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010
CAD 1.3801 1.3635 1.3215 1.3323
GBP 0.8709 0.8554 0.8353 0.8607
PLN 3.9635 4.0032 - 3.9746
USD 1.3980 1.3184 1.2938 1.3362
ZAR 9.7752 9.6339 - 8.8652
CZK 24.5700 25.2525 25.7732 25.0627

C. Accounting and valuation principles

The principle of standardized accounting and evaluation will be applied due to the guidelines applicable throughout the entire Group. Insubstantial deviations with regard to the individual financial statements of international Group companies were re- tained. All financial statements were prepared on the assumption that the entity is a going concern.

1. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are evaluated with their acquisition costs and amortized according to schedule on a straight-line basis. The amortization rates are between 10.0% and 66.7%.

Expenses for research are shown as expenses in the year of their occurrence. Development costs are normally also periodi- cally occurring expenses. They have to be booked as assets if certain conditions can be proved and if they have been cumu- latively fulfilled. Among other aspects, it must be verifiable that the development activities are very likely to result in future accrual of funds, which does not only cover the normal costs but also the corresponding development costs. Capitalized develop- ment costs for customer orders are amortized with the beginning of the serial delivery in accordance with the customer's release orders for the entire term of the model. The Group's research and development expenses in the financial year amounted to approximately TEUR 10,972 (previous year: TEUR 16,034).

2. Goodwill

Goodwill results from acquisitions of subsidiaries or interests in associated companies and is subject to an impairment test at least once a year. If a subsidiary or an associated company is sold, the proportionate goodwill will be taken into account in the calculation of the gain or loss of the disposal.

The evaluation of goodwill is performed with regard to the acquisition costs less the accumulated impairment losses (see also the annex "Impairment").

3. Fixed assets

Tangible assets are valued at the costs of acquisition or produc- tion, reduced by scheduled amortizations, or the lower achievable market price. The scheduled amortizations are determined on a straight-line method.

For limited-life assets, the following rates are used for the scheduled depreciation:

%
Buildings and leasehold improvements 4.0—20.0
Technical equipment and machinery 6.7—50.0
Other plant, fixtures, fittings and equipment 10.0—50.0

Substantial impairment beyond the scope of the scheduled amortizations will be taken into account by extraordinary amor- tizations. In the case of a discontinuation of the reasons for extraordinary amortizations, corresponding revaluations will be performed.

In the case of fixed assets being immobilized, sold or given up, the profit or loss from the difference of the sales revenue and the net book value will be recorded as other operating income or expenses.

Maintenance expenses will be recorded as expenses in the financial year of their occurrence.

4. Assets from tenancies and leasing

Leased assets for which basically all risks and chances resulting from the property of assets were transferred (finance lease), are valued as assets with their market value or the lower cash value in correspondence with IAS 17. The amortization is per- formed according to schedule over the period of the leasing agreement or over the economic useful life of the assets pro- vided that the transfer of legal ownership of the leased assets is secure enough until the end of the leasing agreement period. The payment obligations resulting from the future leasing rates are discounted and recorded as liabilities.

5. Government grants

Government grants and subventions of other third parties are recorded under liabilities and liquidated in accordance with the useful life of the allocated asset.

6. Financial assets

Other investments and loans are included under other financial assets. They are valued at the costs of acquisition or the lower market value at the balance sheet date. Interest-bearing loans are balanced with their nominal value.

The investments balanced at the acquisition costs are invest- ments, which are not listed on an active market and whose cur- rent value can, therefore, not be determined on a reliable basis.

Extraordinary amortizations will be performed for all financial assets in the case of impairment.

7. Inventories

Inventories are evaluated at their acquisition costs or production costs or the lower achievable market value on the balance sheet date. The determination of the acquisition and production costs is performed for similar assets in accordance with the weighted average cost method or in accordance with similar methods. The production costs only include the directly attributable costs and the proportionate overhead costs. Interests on borrowed capital are not capitalized.

8. Accounts receivable for trade, income tax and other accounts receivable

Receivable are capitalized at costs of acquisition. Recognizable risks are taken into account by performing appropriate value adjustments.

In other accounts receivable also those derivative financial assets are reported that show a positive market value and are classified as "held for trading".

9. Securities of the current assets

In 2010, all securities were sold.

10. Cash and short-term financial resources

Cash and other short-term financial means consist of cash on hand, checks and cash at banks as well as securities, which are used by the Group for liquidity management. They are evalu- ated at market values, which are formed on sufficiently solvent markets and which can thus be reliably determined.

11. Impairment

Assets are tested at the balance sheet date if any indications exist for impairment. For goodwill, such an annual verification (impairment test) is performed shortly before any balance sheet date even if no indications for impairment are given.

For the purpose of the impairment test, the POLYTEC GROUP summarizes its assets, which are generating cash flow on the lowest level (cash-generating unit). Goodwill is assigned to those cash-generating units which are expected to benefit from syner- gies and which represent the lowest Group-internal level of the management monitoring of the cash flow. In case of goodwill, the segment is usually defined as a cash-generating unit.

The value in use of the asset corresponds to the present value of the estimated future cash flows from continuing use of such asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life apply- ing a fair market discount rate before taxes, which is adjusted to the specific risks of the assets. The estimation of the future cash flow is based on a 3 year planning horizon. A perpetual an- nuity based on the third year's estimates has been assumed for the period beyond this planning horizon The interest rate used for calculating the present value is the weighted average cost of capital of the corresponding cash-generating unit and was defined with 10% to 11% for the 2011 financial year.

Any impairment loss will be disclosed with the amount by which the book value of the individual asset or the cash-generating unit exceeds the achievable amount. The achievable amount is the higher amount of both amounts from the net selling price and the use value. Impairment losses proportionately reduce the carrying amount of the assets of the cash-generating unit.

In the case of a discontinuation of the reasons for impairment, corresponding revaluations will be performed for fixed assets. Goodwill, which has been amortized due to impairment, is no longer written up.

12. Obligations towards employees

Provision for severance payments

Due to legal obligations, the employees of Austrian group compa- nies who have joined the company prior to January 1, 2002 will receive a one-time severance payment in the case of a termina- tion of the employment contract or in the case of retirement. The amount of compensation depends on the number of years of service and the applicable income on the end of the employment. For all employment contracts concluded after December 31, 2002, payments, which will be recorded as expenses, will be made to a company pension fund for employees.

The provisions for severance payments are determined on a standardized basis at the balance sheet date with the "projected-unit-credit method" and by applying a discount rate of 4.75% (previous year: 4.75%) as well as by taking into ac- count future salary increases of 2.0% (previous year: 2.0%). A reduction for fluctuation of personnel based on the years of service is included. The assumed retirement age for men and women, taking into account certain temporary arrangements, is still defined with 62 years (no change to the previous year).

The corridor method is used for actuarial gains/losses. If the actuarial gains/losses exceed the present value of the defined benefit obligation by more than 10.0% at the beginning of the financial year, they will be recognised as income or expense divided over the average remaining working lives of employees. Current and past service cost and actuarial gains/losses recog- nised as income or expense are shown in personnel expenses in the consolidated income statement, while interest expense associated with provisions for pensions is shown in the financial result.

Entitlement to severance payments

Due to legal obligations, the employees of Turkish group com- panies are entitled to severance payments and may receive non-recurring payments in the case of a termination of the em- ployment contract or in the case of other legally defined events. The amount of compensation depends on the number of years of service and the applicable income on the payment date of the compensation.

Pension obligations

Pension obligations apply for certain employees of German Group companies. Accounting of these obligations is performed in ac- cordance with IAS 19. For this purpose, the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) is calculated and compared to the current value of the planned assets existent on the balance sheet date. The pension provisions are calculated according to the "projected unit credit method", where, depending on the distribution of the obligations to entitlements and liquid pensions and due to the specific regulations of the individual pension funds, a discount rate of 4.75% (previous year: 4.75%) as well as an increase of 1.5% (previous year: 1.5%) will be applied. The guidelines 2005G — Dr. Klaus Heubeck will be used for the actuarial calculations.

The corridor method is used for actuarial gains/losses. If the actuarial gains/losses exceed the present value of the defined benefit obligation by more than 10.0% at the beginning of the financial year, they will be recognised as income or expense divided over the average remaining working lives of employees. Current and past service cost and actuarial gains/losses recog- nised as income or expense are shown in personnel expenses in the consolidated income statement, while interest expense associ- ated with provisions for pensions is shown in the financial result.

Other long-term obligations towards employees

Based on collective agreements or other company agreements, employees are entitled to receive a certain anniversary payment depending on their length of service. Provisions have been set aside for these obligations.

13. Taxes

The income tax expense (the income tax credit) includes the actual taxes and the deferred taxes.

The actual taxes for the individual companies are calculated based on the taxable income of the company and the applicable tax rate in the corresponding country.

Deferred taxes are calculated, in particular, for value differences disclosed in the tax and IFRS balance sheet of the individual companies resulting from deviating periods, as well as for consol- idation bookings. They are determined according to IAS 12 using the balance-sheet-liability method. Furthermore, the probably realizable tax advantage from existing losses carried forward is included in the calculation. Deferred tax assets on losses carried forward were formed as far as their utilization is expected within a foreseeable period. The calculation of the deferred taxes is based on the customary national income tax rate.

14. Other long-term and short-term liabilities

The value of the trade account payables results from the pres- ent value of the received services at the date of their occur- rence. In the following, these liabilities are valued at continued acquisition costs.

Other liabilities, especially accrued interest-bearing liabilities, are reported with their repayment amount unless there is no substantial difference to the present value. Subsequently these liabilities are valued at continued acquisition costs using the effective interest method.

The other provisions disclosed under liabilities were recorded if there are recognizable risks and uncertain obligations until the preparation of the balance sheet. They will be specified with the amount, which proves to be the most probable amount after careful assessment of the circumstances. Reserves for expenses will not be booked as liabilities.

These positions also include any contingent liabilities in accor- dance with IFRS 3.

15. Recognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the balance sheet if the Group becomes a contractual party of a financial instru- ment. Financial assets are derecognized from the accounts if the contractual rights from the assets expire or if the assets will be transferred with all substantial rights and obligations. Financial liabilities are derecognized from the accounts if the contractual obligations have been balanced, deleted or expired. Purchases and sales of financial instruments common in the market are bal- anced on the settlement date.

Financial assets will be categorized as follows:

  • a. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • b. Held for trading
  • c. Loans and receivables
  • d. Available for sale

Financial liabilities will be categorized as follows:

a. Financial liabilities measured at residual book value.

Other categories applicable according to IAS 39 are not applied.

16. Derivative financial instruments

In accordance with the financial policy of the Group, derivative financial instruments are held for hedging purposes and to opti- mize the net interest result of the Group.

The following pending derivative financial instruments were held on December 31, 2011.

Currency Longest
term
Nominal
(x 1,000)
Fair value in
TEUR
Interest rate swap EUR Oct. 2012 10,000 -288
Foreign exchange forward contract USD Jun. 2012 500 -11
Foreign exchange forward contract USD Dec. 2012 500 -3

A Group company also has insignificant currency options. The fair value of these currency options amounted to TEUR -13 as of December 31, 2011.

In addition, a call option may be exercised starting from the 2014 financial year for the acquisition of stakes in companies outside the Group.

Interest rate swaps cannot be assigned to a specified balance sheet item but to a portfolio of financial liabilities and serve for the optimization of the net interest income.

In the case of missing market prices, renowned evaluation models, especially option price models and analyses of the discounted expected cash flows are used for the determination of the fair values.

All derivative financial instruments are categorized as "held for trading".

Hedge accounting procedures in accordance with IAS 39 are not applied.

17. Realization of income and expenses

Revenues from the sale of products and goods are realized upon transfer of the risks and opportunities to the buyer. Operating expenses affect the net income at the time of claiming the services or at the time of their occurrence.

18. Financial results

The financing expenses include the interest and interest equiva- lent expenses arising from debt financing and finance leasing transactions as well as the interest component of the variation of the obligations to employees.

The financial revenues include the interest, dividends and other revenues realized from the assessment of funds and the invest- ments in financial assets. Interest yields are realized proportional to time taking into account the effective interest rate of the asset. Dividend yields are shown at the occurrence of the legiti- mate claim.

Profits and losses from the sale of financial assets, impairment losses from financial assets, exchange rate profits and losses in connection with financing as well as results from security trans- actions are shown in the financial results.

19. Uncertainties with regard to assessments and assumptions

Estimations and assumptions have to be made to a certain degree in the consolidated financial statements, which have an influence on the balanced assets and liabilities, information with regard to other obligations on the balance sheet date and the recognition of income and expenses during the reporting period. The actual amounts to be realized in the future may deviate from the estimations.

Especially the assumptions concerning future cash flow of cashgenerating units, which are based on the medium-term plans of the Group, may prove to be incorrect and may result in certain effects on assets (especially goodwill and deferred tax assets) in the following years.

The assessment of provisions for severance payments and pen- sion contributions is based on a specific method, which applies parameters such as the expected deduction of accrued interest, increases in wage payments and pension contributions as well as anticipated earnings on planned assets. If the development of these relevant parameters differs significantly from the original expectations, this might have considerable repercussions on the provisions and consequently on the Group's net expenses for severance payments and pension contributions.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Board of Directors considers whether it is probable that all deferred tax assets will be realized. The realization of deferred tax as- sets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. If the company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, no deferred tax benefits from operating loss carry-forwards can be recognized and their value has therefore to be adjusted correspondingly.

D. Information concern- ing the group's profit and loss statement and the consolidated balance sheet

1. Sales revenues and segment reporting

The segments represent product groups and correspond to the internal reporting system of the Group. A detailed description of the business activities of the different divisions can be found in section A. of the notes of the consolidated financial statements.

Assets and liabilities as well as expenses and earnings were only assigned to the individual segments as far as they could be as- signed to the corresponding segments directly or with the help of a reasonable method. Positions, which could not be assigned this way, are shown in the columns named "Other segments" and "Consolidation". The transfer prices between the segments are based on comparable customary market conditions.

There are no substantial valuation differences of the assets or liabilities of the individual segments. Further information can be found in the explanations of the accounting and valuation principles applied for the Group.

Change to segment reporting

The major part of the Interior-Systems business was sold at the end of the first half of 2011. The proportion of "non-automo- tive" business in virtually all the Group's previous operating seg- ments is increasing significantly and permanently. Other previous dividing lines between the areas of business are also becoming blurred. For instance, the Car Styling division will make increas- ing use of the injection molding capacity of the Plastics business and the paint-spraying capacity of the Composites business. In consequence, this is leading to a matrix organizational structure for the POLYTEC GROUP.

Accordingly, following the sale of POLYTEC Interior Zaragoza at the end of the year, the management of POLYTEC Holding AG decided to amend the internal management and reporting structure with effect from January 1, 2012. From 2012, the segmentation will no longer be product-oriented, as it has been in recent years, but technology-oriented, with the remain- ing principal segment, namely "plastic processing", encompassing well over 90% of the Group. This is why the Group will be a "one-segment group" from 2012.

In addition to a more detailed presentation of profits and losses at Group level, the POLYTEC Group will make significant, crosssegment disclosures as defined in IFRS 8.31 et seq. in future.

Being a supplier of the automotive industry, the Group only depends on a small number of major customers. In 2011 and 2010, only three customer groups achieved more than 10% of the group's entire sales. In total, the three main customers accounted for roughly 69%1) of total sales in 2011 (previous year: 56%). Due to the broad variety of models and brands of POLYTECS major customers, which are operating both in the passenger car sector and in the commercial vehicle sector, all separately reported business fields are affected by the relation- ship between the customer and the supplier, but, of course, to a different degree.

On the balance sheet dates, the specifications concerning geo- graphical areas at the Group level can be summarized as follows:

6. Impairments

Pursuant to IAS 36 impairment tests are to be carried out when there is an indication of impairment with regard to the com- pany's assets. According to IFRS 3 (Business Combinations), the goodwill will not be amortized from the beginning of the financial year 2005 but is subject to an annual impairment test. Due to these impairment tests, no goodwill amortizations were required in 2011 as in the previous year.

7. Financial result

TEUR 2011 2010

Income from the disposal of securities held as current assets 0 6,119
Other financial result -179 -315
Total -3,079 -1,495

Income from other investments includes dividends from the POLYTEC Immobilien Group of TEUR 438 (previous year: TEUR 0).

The interest component from pension commitments is a non-cash item. All other interest expenses or interest income are cash items.

8. Income taxes

The income tax expense of the 2011 financial year amounting to TEUR 4,291 is lower by an amount of TEUR 5,594 compared to the calculated income tax expense amounting to TEUR 9,885, which would result by applying a tax rate of 25% to the result prior to income taxes amounting to TEUR 39,539.

The reasons for the difference between the calculated and the actually disclosed income tax expense of the Group can be sum- marized as follows:

TEUR 2011 2010
Earnings before tax 39,539 25,725
there of 25% calculated income tax expense 9,885 6,431
Changes in value adjustments for deferred tax assets -1,729 -3,414

11. Tangible assets

The classification of the tangible assets summarized in the con- solidated balance sheet as well as their development is shown in the Consolidated Movement of Assets (annex 2 of the notes).

The future expenses from non-terminable operating leasing agreements (without the obligations towards the POLYTEC Im- mobilien Group, which are explained in the notes under E. 6) amounted to TEUR 21,990 as of December 31, 2011 (previous year: TEUR 34,920) and are due as follows:

Longer than 5 years 0 0

Tangible assets include finance lease goods with a book value amounting to TEUR 6,269 (previous year: TEUR 4,791). The most important finance leases concern production plants.

The finance lease results in leasing obligations towards third parties amounting to TEUR 5,232 (previous year: TEUR 5,379). The specified leasing obligations (cash values including redemp- tion for residual value) are due as follows:

TEUR Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010
Within 1 year 1,534 3,029
Longer than 1 year and within 5 years 3,698 2,350

12. Loans

The Group had issued long-term loans to companies of the POLYTEC Immobilien Group (see also the explanations with re- gard to affiliated companies in E. 6). These were fully paid back in 2011. The contractually agreed cash flow from the agreed repayments and interests (with the interest rate at the corre- sponding balance sheet date) can be summarized as follows:

TEUR Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010

For the determination of the recoverability of the accounts re- ceivable, not only the individual creditworthiness of the debtor, but especially their days overdue has to be taken into account. According to estimations made by the management, there are no substantial differences between the book value and the market value of the accounts receivable.

The existing value adjustments concerning accounts receivable developed as follows in the financial year:

TEUR Trade accounts
receivables
Other receivables
Balance as of January 1, 2011 2,494 94
Changes in consolidation -683 -94

Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and other short-term financial assets have short-term maturity. Therefore, the carrying values of these assets are nearly similar to the residual value at the balance sheet date. The residual value of other long-term receivables and other long-term financial assets accords with the cash value of the payments based on the actual market parameter.

Loans and receivables also include securities that are not listed. Therefore, allocation of the fair value of these assets was not reliable and so the carrying value was recognized at amortized costs.

Financial assets measured at market value are allocated as follows to the three stages of the fair value hierarchy:

TEUR Thereof

foreward transactions 0 70 0
Interest rate derivatives 0 -645 0
0 -575 0

These three stages distinguish fair values according to the significance of the factors included in the measurement and illustrate the extent to which observable market data are available in measuring the fair value.

The stages of the fair value hierarchy and their application to assets and liabilities can be described as follows:

Stage 1:

Listed market prices for identical assets or liabilities on active markets

Stage 2:

Information other than listed market prices, which is observable directly (e.g. prices) or indirectly (e.g. derived from prices).

Stage 3:

Information for assets and liabilities, which is not based on observable market data.

19. Assets held for sale

The assets held for sale relate to property, plant and equipment (TEUR 144) as well as inventories (TEUR 958) in connection with the transaction described under E.2., Events after the balance sheet date.

20. Consolidated shareholders equity

The equity capital of the POLYTEC Holding AG on the balance sheet date amounts to TEUR 22,330 (previous year: TEUR 22,330) and is divided into 22,329,585 ordinary shares (previous year: 22,329,585 ordinary shares) with a nominal value of EUR 1.00 each.

According to a decision of the Annual General Meeting held on May 21, 2008, an authorized capital stock was agreed. With the corresponding approval of the Supervisory Board and for a pe- riod of five years from the registration of the authorized capital stock, the Board of Directors is entitled to increase the equity capital by up to EUR 11,164,792.00 by issuing new shares with a minimum issue price of EUR 1.00 each. New shares can be issued also excluding shareholders' subscription rights.

The capital reserves include the agio, which has been deposited on the occasion of capital increases, less the costs of the initial public offering of the POLYTEC Holding AG in the 2006 financial year, which can be allocated to the capital increase. In the 2008 financial year, on the basis of Austrian law, capital reserves of TEUR 20,220 were liquidated in the individual financial statements of POLYTEC Holding AG to cover the loss for the year.

Retained earnings comprise the past earnings of the Group, which were carried forward as well as other changes in equity.

Information concerning capital management

The POLYTEC Holding AG is not subject to any statutory minimum capital requirements. However, the Group considers a sufficient equity capital stock as an important element of the insolvency reserve. The relation between the equity capital and the total capital can be summarized as follows:

TEUR Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010
Total equity 120,330 87,336
Balance sheet total 263,930 308,512
Equity ratio 45.6% 28.3%

For POLYTEC, the term "capital management" means the control of the equity capital and the net financial liabilities. By optimiz- ing both components, the Group tries to optimize the return of the shareholders. Apart from the equity ratio, POLYTEC especially uses the parameters "gearing" (net financial liabilities against equity capital) and "leverage ratio" (net financial liabili- ties against EBITDA) for the assessment of its debt capacity. The entire costs of the used capital and the risks related to the different types of capital are monitored on a permanent basis.

21. Earnings per share

According to IAS 33 (Earnings per Share) the "basic earnings per share" result from the division of the net income allocated to the shareholders (annual net profit of the Group after noncontrolling interests) by the weighted average of outstanding ordinary shares during the reporting period.

Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010
Net income after non-controlling interests TEUR 34,490 25,009
Weighted average number of
ordinary shares issued
shares 22,329,585 22,329,585
Average number of treasury shares shares 0 0
Average number of shares outstanding shares 22,329,585 22,329,585
Earnings per share EUR/share 1.54 1.12

The diluted earnings per share correspond to the non-diluted earnings per share since no financial instruments with dilution effect are circulating at the moment.

In accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the separate financial statements of POLYTEC Holding AG pre- pared in accordance with Austrian accounting regulations as of December 31, 2011 provide the basis for payment of a dividend.

The Board of Directors of POLYTEC Holding AG will propose payment of a dividend of EUR 0.35 per share for the 2011 fi- nancial year to the Annual General Meeting.

In principle, the dividends are subject to the deduction of capital gains tax at 25%. This means that for individuals with unlimited liability for tax, their income tax liability is settled (final taxa- tion). Joint stock companies with unlimited liability for tax, which hold at least 10% of the share capital, are exempt from capital gains tax. For those individuals whose liability for tax is limited, the relevant double taxation treaties must also be taken into account.

22. Interest-bearing liabilities

This position includes all interest-bearing liabilities with a remaining term of more than one year and can be structured as follows:

TEUR Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010

E. Other information

1. Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement is represented with the help of the indirect method. The financial resource funds exclusively include the cash reserves and bank deposits. The income tax payments are separately shown in the cash flow from business activities.

Interest deposits and interest payments are allocated to the cash flow from business activities. They can be specified with the following amounts:

TEUR 2011 2010
Interest cash in 1,080 232
Interest cash out -4,026 -6,769
Total -2,947 -6,537

2. Events after the balance sheet date

By virtue of the purchase agreement dated December 23, 2011, the Zaragoza site (POLYTEC Interior Zaragoza S.L.) was transferred to Módulos Ribera Alta S.L.U., Zaragoza, Spain, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celulosa Fabril S.A., Zaragoza, Spain, by means of an asset deal. The transfer of beneficial ownership took place when the deal was completed on January 3, 2012.

The sale of the Zaragoza site was the final step towards the POLYTEC GROUP's complete withdrawal from the area of Interior-Systems. The sale of the assets by way of an asset deal will have a positive effect on earnings of approximately EUR 0.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Further events occurring after the balance sheet of date, which are of significance for the evaluation on the balance sheet date, such as outstanding legal cases or claims for compensation and other obligations or impending losses, which would have to be posted or disclosed in accordance with IAS 10 (Contingencies and Events occurring after the Balance Sheet Date), have been taken into account in the present consolidated financial statements.

3. Other risks and obligations as well as offbalance sheet transactions

Individual companies of the POLYTEC GROUP concluded a factor- ing agreement for up to EUR 16.5 million with a German factor- ing company. Provided that the receivables are legally valid, the 'del credere risk' will be borne by the factoring company. Since the POLYTEC GROUP does not guarantee the recoverability of the receivables, the receivables are derecognized from the con- solidated financial statements on the date they are sold to the factoring company in accordance with IAS 39.

Towards the POLYTEC Immobilien GmbH Group, there is an exist- ing obligation with regard to a leasing agreement amounting to TEUR 1,500 (previous year: TEUR 1,500). An amount of TEUR 1,500 (previous year: TEUR 542) was reported on the liabilities side in the present consolidated financial statements due to the closure of the site in Sweden.

Various legal actions and claims are pending from litigations and claims incidental to the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Board of Directors does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the company's liquidity situation, results of operations or financial condition.

Other risks and obligations, which have not been mentioned in the present consolidated financial statements or in the explana- tions concerning the consolidated financial statements, are inexistent.

4. Risk reporting

Within the scope of its business activities, the POLYTEC GROUP is subject to a variety of risks, which are directly related to corporate transactions. Risk management is an integral part of all business processes of POLYTEC. The comprehensive certifica- tions required by a supplier of the automotive industry (e.g. TS ISO/16949:2002) already specify certain regulations, which are also monitored with the help of external audits. In line with the organizational structure of POLYTEC, risks are locally managed and monitored close to the market, especially within the scope of the current business processes. However, financial risks are mainly controlled by the corporate headquarters. The following basic risk fields can be identified:

Sales market risks: The automotive supplier industry is a mar- ket, which faces very strong competition and is also currently undergoing a consolidation process. Sales volumes are mainly dependent on the acquisition of new orders, which are usually placed two to three years prior to serial production. In the order acquisition phase, each supplier faces strong competition from its rivals to offer the best conditions. During serial production, the supplier is also dependent on the sales figures of the vehicle, for which the supplier provides the components; however, the sup- plier has no direct influence on the vehicle's business success. Furthermore, suppliers are permanently benchmarked by the OEMs even after the start of serial production, which may result in price demands or, as an extreme example, in the loss of an order. POLYTEC intends to keep the dependency from individual delivery relationships as low as possible with the help of a bal- anced customer and order mix.

Procurement market risks: One substantial risk is represented by the fluctuation of raw material prices, which in the case of the POLYTEC GROUP as a plastic-processing company are mainly due to a sustainable change in oil price and refinery capacities. On the procurement side, this risk is countervailed with long-term delivery agreements and on the sales side, with material fluctuation clauses in the disclosed calculations, as far as these are enforceable towards the customers. To some extent, negotiations with regard to raw materials and bought-in parts take place directly between the company's customers and the suppliers. As far as prices are only agreed with the customer on an annual basis, changes in raw material prices are an important parameter for the annual negotiations of new prices. Further- more, increased research and development expenses are aimed at using new raw materials (natural fiber).

Financial risks, their management and sensitivity

Credit risk: Due to the company's customer structure, with more than 90% of total turnover being generated with OEMs or with huge system suppliers, POLYTEC is subject to the credit risk of the automotive industry. However, accounts receivable are critically monitored on a permanent basis, and the payment of accounts receivable in accordance with what has been agreed is guaranteed. In the 2011 financial year, approx. 69%1) (previous year: 56%) of the turnover was achieved with the company's three major customers; this results in a certain accumulated credit risk, which has been assessed by the management as rather uncritical with regard to the potential non-payment of credits. Dependency on only a few customers is a basic char- acteristic of the automotive industry suppliers. In this context, the "customer" is defined as a group of affiliated companies, which can also produce vehicles of several different brands. The management will focus on greater diversification going forward by expanding its customer base in the non-automotive business area.

1) Including MAN after incorporation into the VW Group.

The risk of non-payment in the case of liquid assets is very low, as the contractual partners are banks with very good creditwor- thiness.

Despite the credit risk, which is generally classified as very low, the maximum theoretical risk of non-payment corresponds to the book values of the individual financial assets and amounts to:

Liquidity risk: The Group ensures its liquidity by contractual agreements concerning certain credit lines and, if required, by retaining a cash reserve. This is controlled by the company's headquarters.

The financial liabilities of the Group on the basis of the conclud- ed agreements show the following expected cash flow (including interest payments made at the interest rate that applied as of the balance sheet date):

Bank credits in current accounts provided to the Group have a contractually agreed remaining term of less than one year so that their expected future cash flow has to be shown during this term. However, these credits are normally prolonged on a 12-15 month basis so that the aforementioned repatriations cannot be expected. Foreign exchange risk: The predominant part of the turnover of the POLYTEC GROUP is invoiced in euro so that the foreign ex- change risk only affects the Group to a very low degree. As the purchase of intermediate inputs is performed with the same cur- rency as the sale of intermediate inputs, foreign exchange risks are hedged. The Group is subject to higher foreign exchange risks in those countries, where invoices are written in euro but intermediate inputs have to be purchased in the local currency. Such risks, for example, apply to Czech crown. In many cases, these risks cannot be transferred to financial instruments since they must mainly be attributed to personnel costs.

The distribution structure shows that the risk the Group is sub- ject to due to exchange rate fluctuations is very low since both financial assets held in foreign currency totaling 9.3% (previous year: 15.8%) and liabilities totaling 7.6% (previous year: 7.2%) account for only a minor part of the total volume. Furthermore, currency fluctuations would equally affect both assets and liabili- ties and therefore show compensatory effects. A roughly 10% decrease or increase in exchange rates with re- gard to trade accounts payable and liabilities outside the Group would not have any significant impact on results and equity.

Interest rate change risk: The interest rate change risk is countervailed by POLYTEC with the help of a portfolio of variable and fixed forms of financing corresponding to the long-term interest rate development. Derivative products are used, if required, for securing the interest rate or for optimizing the net interest result.

The interest-bearing liabilities show the following structure on the balance sheet date:

TEUR Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010
Liabilities to banks 33,560 51,711
thereof with fixed interest rate 5,908 5,828
thereof with variable interest rate 27,652 45,883
Finance lease 5,231 5,378
thereof with fixed interest rate 5,231 5,378
thereof with variable interest rate 0 0
Other interest-bearing liabilities 190 198
thereof with fixed interest rate 190 198
thereof with variable interest rate 0 0
Total 38,981 57,287
thereof with fixed interest rate 11,329 11,404
thereof with variable interest rate 27,652 45,883

The predominant part of the variable interest-bearing liabilities depends on the 3-month EURIBOR. An increase of this reference interest rate by 100 basis points would, without taking into account existing interest rate swaps, result in an increase of the interest expenses by approx. TEUR 280 (previous year: TEUR 460).

Interest-bearing receivables and current cash and cash equiva- lents contain assets, on which interest is payable at floating rates, of TEUR 23,893. An increase of the 3-month EURIBOR by 100 basis points would increase interest income by approxi- mately TEUR 239 (previous year: TEUR 290).

The following results were achieved from the interest rate swaps held by the Group:

TEUR 2011 2010
Received payments -464 -460
Valuation result 274 226
Total -190 -234

Following the sale of the listed securities held as current assets (shares) by the Group in the previous year, POLYTEC is no lon- ger subject to the risk of a change in the stock exchange price.

The rental expenses from the rental contracts amounted to ap- prox. EUR 8.2 million in the 2011 financial year (previous year: EUR 9.2 million).

The rental contracts can be terminated by complying with a period of notice of six up to twelve months, but longer waivers of entitlement to terminate the contract have also been agreed in some cases. The lease rental charges, which are existent due to the fixed period of notice or due to longer waivers of entitle- ment to terminate the contract, amount to TEUR 18,809 as of December 31, 2011 (previous year: TEUR 27,839) and are due as follows:

TEUR Dec. 31, 2011 Dec. 31, 2010

Longer than 1 year within 5 years 8,720 14,892
Over 5 years 2,363 3,889

Loans were issued to a company of the Polytec Immobilien Group, which were balanced under "Loans" in the financial assets in the previous year. The loans carried interests at an ordinary market rate and were fully repaid in the 2011 financial year. Further information can be found in section D. 12.

POLYTEC Immobilien Deutschland GmbH paid a dividend of TEUR 438 to the POLYTEC GROUP in the 2011 financial year.

On the basis of the explicit request by the purchaser Toyota Boshoku, the sale of the Interior-Systems business was linked indispensably to the sale of the properties rented to the respec- tive companies in the Interior Division by the POLYTEC Immobilien Group. In this connection, the sale of the property by the

POLYTEC Immobilien Group was effected at a price at the lower end of the market value range. The POLYTEC Immobilien Group only agreed to the sale at this unfavorable price on condition that it received compensation for the waiver associated therewith of a more advantageous alternative potential sale. In the light of this, the POLYTEC GROUP paid a compensation of TEUR 1,375 to the POLYTEC Immobilien Group. The sale of the Interior-Systems business in this economically beneficial form for the POLYTEC GROUP was only possible through the concessions by the POLYTEC Immobilien Group regarding the sale of the properties to Toyota Boshoku, since without these it is highly likely that the sale would have been far less advantageous.

In the wake of the preparation of the sale of the Zaragoza site, the POLYTEC Immobilien Group concluded a sale-and-leaseback agreement with the Spanish company and took over a loan by the POLYTEC Immobilien Group to this company below its carry- ing amount. This had no impact on earnings as far as the con- solidated income statement of the POLYTEC GROUP is concerned.

All transactions were carried out based on market customary rates. No provisions for doubtful debts and no expenses for doubtful or unrecoverable debts were recorded in 2011 in con- nection with transactions with related parties.

Auditors' Report

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of POLYTEC Holding AG, Hörsching, for the financial year from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated cash flow statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive invome and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the financial year ended December 31, 2011, and a summary of significant ac- counting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements and for the Accounting System

The company's management is responsible for the Group ac- counting system and for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with In- ternational Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; se- lecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors' Responsibility and Description of Type and Scope of the Statutory Audit

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria and Austrian Standards on Auditing, as well as in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) issued by the Inter- national Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).

Those standards require that we comply with professional guide- lines and that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reason- able assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material mis- statement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of ac- counting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and ap- propriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

Our audit did not give rise to any objections. In our opinion, which is based on the results of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2011 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the financial year from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU.

Comments on the Management Report for the Group

Pursuant to statutory provisions, the management report for the Group is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as to whether the other disclosures are not misleading with respect to the company's po- sition. The auditor's report also has to contain a statement as to whether the management report for the Group is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and whether the disclosures pursuant to section 243 a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) are appropriate.

In our opinion, the management report for the Group is consist- ent with the consolidated financial statements. The disclosures pursuant to section 243 a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) are appropriate.

Das Weltwirtschaftswachstum 2011 lag mit rund 3% auf dem Niveau des langjηριγεν ∆υρχησχηνιττσ. Diverse Konjunkturprogramme nach der Rezession des Jahres 2009 sowie das solide Wachstum in den Emerging Markets waren die Treiber dieses Wachstums.

Dennoch war 2011 fρ die Weltwirtschaft ein durchaus problematisches Jahr. Das im Jahresverlauf dominierende Thema war die Staatsschuldenkrise, insbesondere in der Europισχηεν Ωηρυνγσυνιον. Aber auch in den USA beeinflusste die Diskussion um die Begrenzung der φφεντλιχηεν ςερσχηυλδυνγ διε ωιρτσχηαφτλιχηε Εντωιχκλυνγ.

Den βερωιεγενδεν Αντειλ am Wachstum hatten wie schon in den Vorjahren die Schwellenlνδερ, deren reales Bruttoinlandsprodukt um insgesamt knapp 6% stieg. Zentraler Wachstumstreiber war erneut der asiatische Wirtschaftsraum, der mit China und Indien an der Spitze um annηερνδ 7% ζυλεγεν κονντε. Αλλερδινγσ ϖερηινδερτen gerade in dieser Region stark ansteigende Inflationsraten eine noch bessere Entwicklung. Besonders wichtig fρ διε Ωελτωιρτσχηαφτ ωαρ δαβει, δασσ διε chinesische Wirtschaft trotz einer konjunkturellen Verlangsamung im Jahresverlauf ein Plus von gut 9% erreichte. Auch in den anderen Schwellenlνδερν war die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung insgesamt erfreulich. Osteuropa legte wie im Vorjahr um mehr als 4% zu; Lateinamerika konnte zwar an das Vorjahr nicht ganz anschlie⇓εν, expandierte aber weiterhin krφτιγ.

Die Industrielνδερ ηινγεγεν ενττυσχητεν: Ιν ϑαπαν φηρτε διε Erdbebenkatastrophe vom Mρζ ζωανγσλυφιγ ζυ εινεµ γεσαµτωιρτσχηαφτλιχηεν Ρχκγανγ. Ιν δεν ΥΣΑ καµ die Konjunktur nur schleppend voran, insbesondere im Vergleich zu frηερεν Erholungsphasen nach einer Rezession. So verharrte vor allem die Arbeitslosenquote auf einem ungewηνλιχη ηοηεν Νιϖεαυ und wirkte sich damit negativ auf den privaten Konsum aus. Zudem fiel der durch die Krise massiv belastete amerikanische Immobiliensektor als konjunktureller Impulsgeber aus. Ausgehend von der Diskussion um die Erhηυνγ δερ φφεντλιχηεν Verschuldungsgrenze und einer drohenden temporρεν Ζαηλυνγσυνφηιγκειτ der USA trβτεν σιχη zur Jahresmitte die Stimmungsindikatoren bei Konsumenten und Unternehmen deutlich ein. Erfreulicherweise stabilisierte sich die amerikanische Wirtschaft in der zweiten Jahreshλφτε. Ein Zuwachs von nicht einmal 2% im Gesamtjahr war jedoch alles andere als befriedigend und lag deutlich unter dem langjηριγεν ∆υρχησχηνιττ.

Noch ungνστiger war die Entwicklung der Wirtschaft in Westeuropa, die von der Eskalation der Schuldenkrise in der Eurozone geprγτ ωαρ. ∆ιε Ζαηλ δερ Λνδερ υντερ dem europισχηεν Rettungsschirm EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility) vergr⇓ερτε σιχη, υνδ διε Κρise beschrνκτ σιχη ινζωισχηεν σχηον λανγε νιχητ µεηρ auf die kleineren Peripherielνδερ.

Die positive Entwicklung der deutschen Automobilindustrie, die bereits in der zweiten Hλφτε des Geschφτσϕαηρεσ 2010 εινgesetzt hatte, fand auch im Geschφτσϕαηρ 2011 ihre Fortsetzung. Allein auf dem wichtigen Markt Deutschland erhητε σιχη die Zahl der produzierten Fahrzeuge um 5,8% auf 5,8 Mio. Einheiten. Die Weltautomobilproduktion der deutschen Hersteller erhητε σιχη υµ 11,5% αυφ 12,9 Mio. produzierte Fahrzeuge.

Die Exporte, ein wesentlicher Pfeiler der deutschen Hersteller, erreichten im Gesamtjahr 2011 ein Volumen von mehr als 4,5 Mio. Fahrzeugen. Dies entspricht einem Zuwachs von 7% gegenβερ 2010. ∆αµιτ ωυρδε δερ δραµατισχηε Ρχκγανγ aus dem Jahr 2009 binnen zwei Jahren aufgeholt und ein neuer Hχηστστανδ ερζιελτ.

Wir haben in nahezu allen wichtigen Mρκτεν unsere Marktanteile steigern kννεν und damit auch die Fertigung hier am Standort gefestigt.

Der Weltautomobilmarkt zeigte sich im Jahr 2011 in robuster Verfassung: Wηρενδ die USA, China, Indien und Russland zum Teil zweistellige Zuwachsraten aufwiesen, ging der westeuropισχηε Pkw-Markt um 1% auf 12,8 Mio.

Light Vehicles in den USA. Sie erhητεν damit ihren Marktanteil im siebenten Jahr in Folge auf einen aktuellen Stand von 8,2%.

Der chinesische Markt schwenkte nach starken Wachstumsjahren auf Normalisierungskurs ein. Das Volumen des Gesamtjahres lag mit 12,2 Mio. Pkw aber erneut um 8% βερ δεµ ςορϕαηρεσωερτ.

Der indische Pkw-Markt lieferte zum Jahresschluss ein erfreuliches Ergebnis: Trotz einer restriktiveren Geldpolitik und hηερερ Σπριτπρεise nahm der indische Pkw-Markt im Gesamtjahr 2011 um 6% auf 2,5 Mio. Neuzulassungen zu.

Die europισχηε Νυτζφαηρζευγινδυστριε κονντε ihren Absatz im Geschφτσϕαηρ 2011 um 9,9% auf 1.935.392 Einheiten steigern. Dieser Wert lag jedoch nach wie vor um rund 25% unter dem Vorkrisenwert von 2008. Der in absoluten Zahlen gemessen gr⇓τε Markt war 2011 Frankreich mit rund 0,5 Mio. Neuzulassungen.

Anhang für das Geschäftsjahr 2011 der POLYTEC Holding AG, Hörsching

I. Anwendung der unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften

Der vorliegende Jahresabschluss 2011 ist nach den Vorschriften des UGB aufgestellt worden.

Die Gesellschaft ist als große Kapitalgesellschaft gemäß § 221 UGB einzustufen.

Im Interesse einer klaren Darstellung wurden in der Bilanz und in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung einzelne Posten zusammengefasst. Diese Posten sind im Anhang gesondert ausgewiesen.

Die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung ist in Staffelform nach dem Gesamtkostenverfahren aufgestellt.

II. Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden

Der Jahresabschluss wurde unter Beachtung der Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung sowie der Generalnorm, ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens zu vermitteln, aufgestellt.

Bei der Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses wurde der Grundsatz der Vollständigkeit eingehalten.

Bei der Bewertung wurde von der Fortführung des Unternehmens ausgegangen.

Bei den Vermögensgegenständen und Schulden wurde der Grundsatz der Einzelbewertung angewandt.

Die bisher angewandten Bewertungsmethoden wurden beibehalten.

Dem Vorsichtsgrundsatz wurde Rechnung getragen, indem insbesondere nur die am Abschlussstichtag verwirklichten Gewinne ausgewiesen werden.

Alle erkennbaren Risken und drohenden Verluste wurden berücksichtigt.

Immaterielle Vermögensgegenstände werden, soweit gegen Entgelt erworben, zu Anschaffungskosten aktiviert und in längstens fünf Jahren abgeschrieben.

Sachanlagen werden zu Anschaffungs- oder Herstellungskosten, abzüglich planmäßiger Abschreibungen, bewertet.

Die planmäßigen Abschreibungen werden linear unter Zugrundelegung folgender Nutzungsdauern und Abschreibungssätze berechnet:

Nutzungs-
dauer in
Jahren
Abschrei
bungssatz
%
Andere Anlagen, Betriebs
und Geschäftsausstattung 2 - 10 10,0 - 50,0

Von den Zugängen in der ersten Hälfte des Geschäftsjahres wird die volle Jahresabschreibung, von den Zugängen in der zweiten Hälfte wird die halbe Jahresabschreibung verrechnet.

Geringwertige Vermögensgegenstände werden im Jahr der Anschaffung voll abgeschrieben.

Außerplanmäßige Abschreibungen werden vorgenommen, soweit der Ansatz mit einem niedrigeren Wert erforderlich ist.

Finanzanlagen werden grundsätzlich mit den Anschaffungskosten, gegebenenfalls vermindert um Abschreibungen zur Berücksichtigung dauernder Wertminderungen, bewertet.

Forderungen und sonstige Vermögensgegenstände werden mit dem Nennbetrag angesetzt. Fremdwährungsforderungen werden unter Berücksichtigung des Niederstwertprinzips mit dem Referenzkurs der Europäischen Zentralbank zum Bilanzstichtag bewertet. Für erkennbare Risken werden Einzelwertberichtigungen gebildet.

Bei der Bemessung der Rückstellungen werden entsprechend den gesetzlichen Erfordernissen alle erkennbaren Risken und drohenden Verluste berücksichtigt.

Die Rückstellungen für Abfertigungen wurden wie im Vorjahr nach anerkannten finanzmathematischen Grundsätzen auf Basis eines Rechnungszinssatzes von 3,0 %, eines Pensionseintrittsalters von 60 Jahren bei Frauen und 65 Jahren bei Männern ermittelt. Die Rückstellungen für Abfertigungen wurden wie im Vorjahr nach anerkannten finanzmathematischen Grundsätzen auf Basis eines Rechnungszinssatzes von 3,0% (Vorjahr: 3,0%) ermittelt. Das rechnungsmäßige Pensionsalter entspricht wie im Vorjahr dem höchstmöglichen Anfallsalter für die Alterspension gemäß der im Budgetbegleitgesetz 2003 verankerten Pensionsreform.

Rückstellungen für Jubiläumsgelder werden gebildet; die Vorsorge wird wie im Vorjahr nach anerkannten finanzmathematischen Grundsätzen unter Zugrundelegung eines Rechnungszinssatzes von 3,0% (Vorjahr: 3,0%) und eines Fluktuationsabschlages von 20,0% (Vorjahr: 20,0%) berechnet.

Verbindlichkeiten werden mit ihrem Rückzahlungsbetrag angesetzt. Fremdwährungsverbindlichkeiten werden unter Berücksichtigung des Höchstwertprinzips mit dem Referenzkurs der Europäischen Zentralbank zum Bilanzstichtag bewertet.

Latenter Steueraufwand (Gruppenbesteuerung) 0,00 -439

Die Steuerumlagen betreffen inländische verbundene Unternehmen, welche in die Steuergruppe der Gesellschaft einbezogen sind.

Die Steuerumlagen werden nach der sogenannten Belastungsmethode verrechnet, wobei im Fall eines steuerlichen Gewinns das inländische Gruppenmitglied eine Steuerumlage an den Gruppenträger zu entrichten hat. Im Fall eines steuerlichen Verlustes eines inländischen Gruppenmitglieds hat der Gruppenträger eine Ausgleichszahlung an das Gruppenmitglied zu leisten.

Der im Geschäftsjahr ausgewiesene laufende Steueraufwand betrifft ausschließlich das ordentliche Ergebnis.

Der Gesamtbetrag der aktivierbaren latenten Steuern zum 31.12.2011 beträgt rund TEUR 1.927 (Vorjahr: TEUR 6.841). Davon stammen aus den bei der Gesellschaft steuerlich zu erfassenden Personengesellschaften aktivierbare aktive latente Steuern in Höhe von rund TEUR 413 (Vorjahr: TEUR 415).

Bis zum 31.12.2011 wurden in der Steuergruppe (§ 9 KStG) der Gesellschaft ausländische Verluste aus dem Jahr 2011 und früheren Geschäftsjahren in Höhe von TEUR 11.642 (Vorjahr: TEUR 21.357) einbezogen, für die keine Rückstellung für latente Steuer gebildet wurde, da durch die Übernahme dieser steuerlichen Verluste noch kein steuerlicher Vorteil im Inland erzielt wurde bzw. da mit einer zeitnahen Umkehr der Steuerentlastung nicht ernsthaft zu rechnen ist.

Unsere Verantwortung besteht in der Abgabe eines Prüfungsurteils zu diesem Jahresabschluss auf der Grundlage unserer Prüfung. Wir haben unsere Prüfung unter Beachtung der in Österreich geltenden gesetzlichen Vorschriften und Grundsätze ordnungsgemäßer Abschlussprüfung durchgeführt. Diese Grundsätze erfordern, dass wir die Standesregeln einhalten und die Prüfung so planen und durchführen, dass wir uns mit hinreichender Sicherheit ein Urteil darüber bilden können, ob der Jahresabschluss frei von wesentlichen Fehldarstellungen ist.

Eine Prüfung beinhaltet die Durchführung von Prüfungshandlungen zur Erlangung von Prüfungsnachweisen hinsichtlich der Beträge und sonstigen Angaben im Jahresabschluss. Die Auswahl der Prüfungshandlungen liegt im pflichtgemäßen Ermessen des Abschlussprüfers unter Berücksichtigung seiner Einschätzung des Risikos eines Auftretens wesentlicher Fehldarstellungen, sei es auf Grund von beabsichtigten oder unbeabsichtigten Fehlern. Bei der Vornahme dieser Risikoeinschätzung berücksichtigt der Abschlussprüfer das interne Kontrollsystem, soweit es für die Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses und die Vermittlung eines möglichst getreuen Bildes der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft von Bedeutung ist, um unter Berücksichtigung der Rahmenbedingungen geeignete Prüfungshandlungen festzulegen, nicht jedoch um ein Prüfungsurteil über die Wirksamkeit der internen Kontrollen der Gesellschaft abzugeben. Die Prüfung umfasst ferner die Beurteilung der Angemessenheit der angewandten Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden und der von den gesetzlichen Vertretern vorgenommenen wesentlichen Schätzungen sowie eine Würdigung der Gesamtaussage des Jahresabschlusses.

Wir sind der Auffassung, dass wir ausreichende und geeignete Prüfungsnachweise erlangt haben, sodass unsere Prüfung eine hinreichend sichere Grundlage für unser Prüfungsurteil darstellt.
