Report of the Board of Directors

Important developments of the first 6 months:

Revenue decreased by 3,5% compared with first half-year 2010 due to lower order intake in previous period. The operating profit decreased by 16,4% because of lower activities and project costs.

All this together resulted in a 0,5 million euro lower Group share in the profit from continuing operations for the period (from 5,6 million euro to 5,1 million euro).

During the first six months of 2011, JENSEN-GROUP invested 0,7 million euro capex in the new plant in China and expects that the new plant will be operational during Q4 2011.

Outlook for the remaining 6 months:

The order backlog as per June 2011 was 24% higher compared with the activity level year on year. Management estimates that approximately a quarter of this backlog will not be reflected in the 2011 results.

Major risk factors for the remaining 6 months are the volatility in the financial markets affecting the investment decisions of our customers as well as competitive pressure. Other risks are high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material prices, energy and transport costs.

Important transactions with related parties:

There were no important transactions with related parties.

Acquisition of own shares

At its meeting held on November 3, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of 36.874 shares of the Company that were held by Baillie Gifford and offered for sale. The buyback was completed through the use of an investment bank, acting as intermediary, at a price per share of 6,9 euro at the Euronext stock exchange. As a result of this transaction, JENSEN-GROUP currently holds 36.874 treasury shares.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 1 - Basis of Preparation

The JENSEN-GROUP (hereafter "The Group") is one of the major suppliers to the heavy-duty laundry industry. The Group markets its products and services under the JENSEN brand and is a leading supplier to the heavy-duty market. The product range varies from transportation and handling systems, tunnel washers, separators, feeders, ironers, folders to complete project management for fully-equipped and professionally managed industrial laundries. The JENSEN-GROUP has operations in 12 countries and distributes its products in more than 50 countries. Worldwide, the JENSEN-GROUP employs approximately 1.100 people.

JENSEN-GROUP N.V. (hereafter "The Company") is incorporated in Belgium. Its registered office is at Bijenstraat 6, 9051 Sint-Denijs-Westrem, Belgium.

The JENSEN-GROUP shares are quoted on the Euronext Stock Exchange.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is for the first half-year ended June 30, 2011. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2010 annual IFRS consolidated financial statements.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been reviewed by an independent auditor, not audited.

The policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

Taxation is determined annually and, accordingly, the tax charge for the interim period involves making an estimate of the likely effective tax rate for the year. The calculation of the effective tax rate is based on an estimate of the tax charge or credit for the year expressed as a percentage of the expected accounting profit or loss. This percentage is then applied to the interim result, and the tax is recognized rateably over the year as a whole.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at 30 June 2011 which have been adopted by the European Union, as follows:

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the Group's accounting period beginning 1 January 2011:

• 'Improvements to IFRSs' (2010) amending IAS 1, IAS 27, IAS 34, IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7 and IFRIC 13. These improvements are effective 1 January 2011.

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the Group's accounting period beginning 1 January 2011, but are not currently relevant to the group:

• Amendment to IAS 32 'Classification of rights issues' requiring rights issues within the scope of the amendment to be classified as equity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010.
• Amendments to IFRS 1 providing a limited exemption from comparative IFRS 7 disclosures for first-time adopters, effective as of 1 July 2010.

• IAS 24 Revised 'Related-party transactions', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The revised standard amends the definition of a related party and modifies certain related party disclosure requirements for government-related entities.

• IFRIC 19 'Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity Instruments', effective for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010. IFRIC 19 clarifies the accounting when a debtor and creditor might renegotiate the terms of a financial liability with the result that the debtor extinguishes the liability fully or partially by issuing equity instruments to the creditor.

• Amendments to IFRIC 14 'Pre-payments of a minimum funding requirement', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The amendment removes an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14 arising from the treatment of prepayments of future contributions in some circumstances when there is a minimum funding requirement.

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2011 and have not been endorsed by the European Union:

• Amendments to IFRS 1 'First-time adoption of IFRSs' related to severe hyperinflation and the removal of fixed dates for first-time adopters. These amendments are effective on or after 1 July 2011.
• Amendments to IFRS 7 'Financial instruments: disclosures' requiring enhanced disclosures of transferred financial assets. These revisions are effective at the earliest for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011.
• Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of financial statements', effective on or after 1 July 2012. The amendment changes the disclosure of items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of comprehensive income.
• Amendments to IAS 12 'Deferred taxes', effective on or after 1 January 2012. The amendments provide a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model.
• IFRS 9 'Financial instruments', effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.
• IFRS 10 'Consolidated financial statements', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The new standard builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements.
• IFRS 11 'Joint arrangements', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The new standard focuses on the rights and obligations rather than the legal form. Proportional consolidation is no longer allowed.
• IFRS 12 'Disclosure of interests in other entities', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. This new standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities.
• IFRS 13 'Fair value measurement', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The new standard explains how to measure fair value for financial reporting.
• IAS 19 Revised 'Employee benefits', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Through these amendments significant changes are made to the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits, and to the disclosures for all employee benefits.
• IAS 27 Revised 'Separate financial statements', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The revised standard includes the provisions on separate financial statements that are left after the control provisions of IAS 27 have been included in the new IFRS 10.
• IAS 28 Revised 'Investments in associates and joint ventures', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The revised standard now includes the requirements for joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted following the issue of IFRS 11.

The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is prepared on an accrual basis and on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the accounting policies.

Note 2 – Changes in accounting policies and other changes, and their impact on equity

There are no changes in the accounting policies compared with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as per December 31, 2010.

The significant accounting policies applied in the condensed interim financial statements are presented on pages 61 – 69 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 3 – Segment reporting

The total laundry industry can be split up into Consumer, Commercial and Heavy Duty laundry. The JENSEN-GROUP entities serve end-customers in the Heavy Duty laundry segment. They follow the same process. The JENSEN-GROUP sells its products and services under the JENSENTM brand through own sales and service companies and independent distributors worldwide. In this way the JENSEN-GROUP operates only in one single segment.

Statutory auditor's report on review of condensed consolidated financial information for the period ended 30 June 2011

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Jensen-Group NV and its subsidiaries, as of 30 June 2011 and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the 6 month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes, and set forth on pages 6 to 14. The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated condensed financial information in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated condensed financial information based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the recommendation of the Belgian Institute of Company Auditors related to the performance of reviews. Accordingly, it involved principally analysis, comparison and discussion of the consolidated condensed financial information and, accordingly, was less extensive in scope than an audit of that information.

Our review did not reveal any matters requiring correction of the consolidated condensed financial information for it to have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union.
