ECONOMIC CLIMATE

The global economy continued its upturn in 2006. Real growth climbed to 5.4 %, exceeding expectations. Attributable mainly to developments in China and India and to the strong demand for imports in the United States, this expansion was achieved despite the high oil price. Growth would have been even more robust had it not been for a shortage in the supply of raw materials, further exacerbated by geopolitical crises as well as speculative factors and technically induced supply bottlenecks. The volume of world trade increased in the same period by 9.6 %.

Developments in the major economic regions varied substantially. Asia and Eastern Europe, particularly China, India and Russia, recorded high economic growth rates while the pace of growth in the United States and the euro area lagged substantially behind. So strong of late, the U.S. economy expanded at a much slower rate in 2006 than in the years before, recording growth of 3.3 % in real terms. The dip can be traced mainly to much weaker domestic demand, caused, inter alia, by corrections in the overvalued U.S. real estate market. Growth is expected to decline a further one percent or so to 2.2 % in 2007.

The succession of interest rate hikes in the euro area has narrowed the interest rate spread between the US dollar (USD) and the euro (EUR) and been a major reason for the ten percent devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the euro. The large U.S. trade deficit has put additional pressure on the USD. The EUR to USD exchange rate rose from 1.25 in April 2006 to 1.32 by the end of 2006. The value of the USD slipped further against the euro in the first quarter of 2007, ending at 1.34 as of 31 March 2007.

High growth rates again dominated the economic picture in Asia. Japan continued the economic recovery that has been in place since 2005, recording 2.2 % growth in real terms in 2006. Of particular note, however, is the growth in China. Its economy expanded at a rate of 10.7 % in the year just ended, thus contributing substantially to worldwide economic growth. Economic figures in Europe were much improved over the previous year, with the member states of the euro area doubling their rate of economic growth to 2.7 %. Owing to vibrant economic growth in Central and Eastern Europe, the 25 EU member states expanded at a pace of 2.9 % to outperform the euro area.

The behavior of private consumers contributed little to economic growth. The high level of investment and strong demand for exports were the main drivers of this trend. To counter the mounting risk of inflation, the European Central Bank raised their key interest rate to 3.5 % by the end of 2006 and continued this practice in the first quarter of 2007. The Austrian economy saw real growth in 2006 of 3.2 %, its biggest increase in GDP since 2000. The strong 10.2 % growth in goods exports was the most crucial factor in this rise. Labor market figures reflected the high level of economic activity. Austria also recorded one of the lowest inflation rates in the euro area, at 1.5 %. Tourism, a significant industry for Austria, stagnated in 2006 due to a meager 0.1 % increase in overnight stays. According to the major national economic research institute WIFO, Austria can anticipate GDP growth of about 3.0 % in 2007, with the expected decline in export demand being offset by an increase in investments.

RISK MANAGEMENT

DO & CO is subject to widely varying risks because it conducts business globally in three different segments. Risk management, that is the deliberate effort to deal with opportunities and risks, is therefore an essential part of business management. Our goal is to detect opportunities and risks early on, to evaluate them and to initiate appropriate action.

DO & CO views risk management as an integral part of all its business processes. For this reason, it does not relegate risk management to a separate organizational entity but rather views it as an essential task for the managers of all business entities.

At least once a year, DO & CO takes an inventory of opportunities and risks and documents its findings. Possible interdependencies of opportunities and risks are considered in the process. Any detected risks are regularly discussed at the meetings of the Management Team. As part of their management duties, the members of this team see to it that employees are involved in risk management.

Appropriate actions for countering the detected risks were defined and implemented as part of risk analysis. These actions have greatly reduced potential risk. Their aim is to reduce possible damage and to minimize the probability of risks occurring.

The principle of diversification plays a significant role in risk management at DO & CO. Global diversification mitigates the specific threat posed in individual markets so that only parts of the group can be affected instead of the entire group. Diversification by business segment has a similar effect. Consequently, the unique business model of DO & CO has built-in mechanisms to compensate for risks.

In the period under review, the risks below were the main ones determined for the DO & CO Group:

  • -Risks and trends specific to the airline industry
  • -Risks pertaining to terror and political unrest
  • -Economic developments
  • -Hygiene risks
  • -Personnel risks

-

  • -Foreign currency risks
  • Liquidity risks
  • -Rating risks
  • Credit risks
  • Legal risks

Risks and trends specific to the airline industry

The airline industry is heavily dependent on economic developments in the various markets. DO & CO management also believes that the market adjustments in this industry consisting largely of state-owned European carriers are not yet complete. That means further consolidations and market adjustments lay ahead. A similar trend is expected among the so-called "low cost" carriers. There will be an increasing move towards alliances and takeovers.

Risks pertaining to terror and political unrest

Following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the airline industry has taken great pains to close any existing security gaps. Increased security checks, restrictions involving carry-on luggage, and checks on the suppliers are among the steps that have

Developments varied in the different economic regions

Diversification of business segments helps to offset risks

Positive trend in domestic market

Process integral to all business units

Foreign currency risks

DO & CO is highly vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations due to the international nature of its business segments, especially Airline Catering and International Event Catering. The major foreign currencies involved are USD, TRY and GBP.

Closed positions are set up as a hedge by trying to offset proceeds in a given foreign currency against expenses in that same currency and with the same maturity. The company also strives to avoid additional risk by including appropriate clauses in its agreements with customers and suppliers.

If need be, financial instruments and derivatives are employed to control currency risks. No such derivative financial instruments were used in business year 2006/2007.

Liquidity risks

Precise financial planning updated daily is the key to controlling liquidity and to avoiding liquidity risk. It is also important to thoroughly analyze the liquidity effects of all projects and expansion steps.

Deviations from financial plans are detected immediately thanks to regular and prompt financial reporting. This approach ensures that counter-measures can be taken quickly.

All Austrian companies are integrated in a single cash-pooling system so that liquidity can be controlled centrally.

Rating risks

DO & CO keeps the risk of default to a minimum by closely monitoring outstanding debts as part of receivables management. It is proactive in controlling the risk of default associated with major customers by entering into contractual agreements with them and by having customers furnish collateral. DO & CO does not avail itself of credit insurance. Investments are made only at banks with first-class ratings. No material default risks are expected from the other original financial instruments.

Credit risks

All financial facilities have the same term as the projects they finance. Financing is done at usual market conditions. No negative effects are expected from interest rate changes.

In sum, DO & CO views its risks as manageable and offsettable based on the risk management system it has put in place. These risks do not endanger the continued existence of the Group.

been taken in almost all corners of the world. Nonetheless, an acute danger of further attacks persists owing to the geopolitical situation in the Near and Middle East. The terrorist attacks in Madrid and London highlighted the prime target status of mass transit.

Economic developments

DO & CO's business in all three divisions is strongly shaped by global economic developments, because of their enormous influence on tourism and consumers' leisure-time behavior. Consumers' volatile travel and flight activities affect Airline Catering in particular and to a lesser extent, Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel. These external factors beyond DO & CO's control can also materialize in the medium term in reduced demand in International Event Catering. The growth enjoyed in recent years is no guarantee of steadily rising demand in the future.

To counter economic risk in its business, DO & CO has diversified its locations by region in eight different countries and by sector in three different market segments. Keenly aware that all of its lines of business are highly seasonal, DO & CO is poised to respond to cyclical fluctuations. Its reporting unit issues business results promptly, along with analyses and projections on current operating business, so that appropriate capacity adjustments can be made immediately.

Hygiene risks

To ensure the hygienic safety of the food it produces, DO & CO has carried out risk analyses in all business areas as part of the ongoing development of its HACCP System ("Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points") and taken actions to control and minimize risks based on these analyses. An internationally active quality control team monitors the effectiveness of these actions.

Personnel risks

For DO & CO, the biggest assets it has are its employees and the corporate culture they breathe life into. The employees are the most crucial factor in DO & CO's success. The future development of DO & CO therefore depends, inter alia, on its success in hiring and integrating highly skilled and motivated employees and forging bonds of loyalty between them and the company. Professional training and consistent personnel development are central tools for achieving the growth desired. The professional and profitable integration of new company units will be equally crucial for the future success of DO & CO. Shared values and a vital corporate culture help our new employees to understand the high quality standards we aspire to in our product and personal service and to anchor those standards permanently.

Legal risks

With its constant expansion and global scope of business, DO & CO has to abide by a myriad of legal requirements at the national and international level, especially in relation to food law, hygiene, and waste management, as well as special guidelines and regulations of various airlines.

Present or future legal regulations or changes in them can cause the company's costs to increase enormously. At present, there are no signs of any changes of this kind.

All important business transactions are therefore examined and approved by Legal Compliance at the headquarters in Vienna to avoid legal risks. Liability risks and claims are largely reduced to a minimum internationally by taking out specific insurance policies.

Regional diversification as an additional step to counter risks Currency fluctuations pose a risk to international business

Reduced risk thanks to close monitoring of receivables

SALES

Consolidated sales of the DO & CO Group grew by 45.1 % in business year 2006/2007, rising from EUR 142.18 million to EUR 206.33 million. The rate of growth was uniform during the first three quarters and increased in the fourth quarter.

Segmental reporting shows especially strong growth in Airline Catering, up EUR 48.69 million, or +65.1 %, and in Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel, up EUR 12.03 million, or + 37.8 %. International Event Catering reported an increase in sales of EUR 3.44 million, or 9.6 %.

Airline Catering increased its sales from EUR 74.79 million last year to EUR 123.48 million in the year under review. This growth is attributable to the positive development of key accounts in Airline Catering, particularly Emirates Airlines and British Airways.

Another substantial source of growth in Airline Catering was the founding of the joint venture with Turkish Airlines in Turkey. Since 1 January 2007, the nine business locations in Turkey have been serving not only Turkish Airlines as their key customers but 40 further airlines, national and international.

Changes in the scope of consolidation also had positive effects on sales in Airline Catering.

Group sales 206.33 142.18 64.15 +45.1 % 134.26

The Airline Catering segment accounts for 59.9 % (previous year: 52.6 %) of consolidated sales in the business year under review.

International Event Catering increased its sales for the period by a robust EUR 3.44 million, from EUR 35.60 million to EUR 39.04 million. This 9.6 % growth was generated by headliner international events like the America's Cup in Valencia, the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, the WTA Tournament in Madrid and several national events. This division made up 18.9 % of total consolidated sales.

There was a world-wide increase in sales from the Grand Prix events in addition to the Grand Prix of China. Two significant Grand Prix events (the Grand Prix of Bahrain and the Grand Prix of Malaysia in Sepang) took place in the 2007 GP season in April instead of March as was the case the previous year and are therefore not included in the consolidated sales for business year 2006/2007. Moreover, the Grand Prix of Belgium was canceled in the 2006 GP season because of renovation work.

The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel segment contributed EUR 43.82 million to consolidated sales, constituting 21.2 % of the total (previous year: 22.4 %). Divisional sales rose from EUR 31.79 million last year to EUR 43.82 million in the year under review (an increase of EUR 12.03 million). This growth is traceable to the development of existing enterprises such as the Restaurant in the Haas Haus, the restaurants at Casino Baden or DEMEL Vienna and to the opening of new businesses, namely the DO & CO Hotel at St. Stephen's Square, DEMEL Salzburg and the restaurants and cafés in the British Museum in London.

The Group put in an exceptional performance worldwide, producing sales growth in nearly all countries. Business developed especially well in Germany, Great Britain, Italy and the United States. Worthy of special note was the sales increase in Austria, the group's domestic market.

PROFIT AND ASSETS

I n business year 2006/2007, the DO & CO Group increased the consolidated earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) following goodwill amortization from EUR 4.20 million in the previous year to EUR 6.14 million in the period under review. This represents an increase of 46.2 %, or EUR 1.94 million. The EBIT margin in this same period held steady at 3.0 %.

The DO & CO Group increased its EBITDA by EUR 2.43 million, or 22.0 %, for an EBITDA margin of 6.5 %.

Costs of materials and services rose in relation to sales from 36.3 % percent the previous year to 37.6 % in the year under review. In absolute terms, the cost of materials increased by EUR 26.05 million (+50.5 %) while sales rose by 45.1 %. This trend is attributable mainly to the inclusion of the new business entities in the consolidated accounts and the additional costs associated with the opening of new businesses.

DO & CO created additional jobs again in business year 2006/2007. It employed an average of 2,014 employees in Austria and abroad. This represents an increase of 674 employees, or 50.3 %. These newcomers are also reflected in the 39.5 % increase in payroll costs against the previous year. The ratio of payroll costs to sales fell from 39.0 % the previous year to 37.4 % in the year under review.

New hirings at the DO & CO Gourmet Kitchens in New York, Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Vienna are largely responsible for this increase. A substantial part of the rise can also be traced to the opening of new business locations such as DEMEL Salzburg or the British Museum in London. Further newcomers to the team came with the establishment of the joint venture in Turkey and the acquisition of AIREST.

Depreciation in the year under review rose by 7.1 % due to the volume of investments in business year 2006/2007.

Other operating expenses rose by 23.0 %. Proportionally high growth was recorded especially for rents, leases and other operating expenses as well as for other administrative expenses. The remaining items were stable or lower in relation to 2005/2006 on higher sales volumes.

The taxation ratio (ratio of tax costs to untaxed income) was higher than the year before, rising from 28.7 % to 34.1 % in the year under review.

The consolidated shareholders' equity of the DO & CO Group rose by EUR 36.14 million in business year 2006/2007 to EUR 73.69 million (previous year: EUR 37.55 million). The capital increase in March 2007 and the founding of the joint venture with Turkish Airlines are two important events in this context. Following adjustments for planned dividend payments, the equity ratio amounts to 36.3 % (previous year: 42.8 %).

At the end of business year 2006/2007, net interest payable by the DO & CO Group totaled plus EUR 15.30 million following a surplus of minus EUR 12.58 million on the balance sheet date the previous year.

Cash flows from operating activities rose in the year under review by EUR 4.08 million to EUR 11.72 million (previous year: EUR 7.63 million). That means this cash flow item is at the same level as the EBITDA earned this business year. The launch of the joint venture with Turkey had a particularly strong effect on cash flow. With the commencement of operating activities on January 1, there was a sharp rise in receivables as well as short-term provisions and liabilities at the end of the business year.

Cash flows from investing activities totaled - EUR 65.57 million (previous year: EUR 9.51 million). It was spurred mostly by investments connected to the joint venture's business start in Turkey and to the acquisition of the airline catering business of AIREST.

The following segment reporting in accordance with IAS 14 deviates somewhat from the specifications in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The reason for this is that certain group companies conduct business in several segments, making it impossible to report solely on a segment basis.

AIRLINE CATERING

With its locations in New York, London, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Milan, Salzburg and Vienna as well as the newly acquired business locations of AIREST and of the joint venture in Turkey, Airline Catering further increased its lead as the frontrunner in sales among the divisions in the DO & CO Group.

The Airline Catering clientele at the various business locations includes, among others, Austrian Airlines Group, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, EOS, Etihad, Niki, Livingston, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc and Singapore Airlines. DO & CO has more than 50 airlines as customers.

Airline Catering recorded sales of EUR 123.48 million in business year 2006/2007. That corresponds to growth of EUR 48.69 million, or 65.1 %. Its share in consolidated sales thus increased from 52.6 % in business year 2005/2006 to 59.9 % in the year under review.

There are several factors responsible for this impressive growth.

First, DO & CO won over Turkish Airlines as a new key account throughout Turkey following the acquisition of catering accounts. DO & CO has also been serving a number of national and international customers besides Turkish Airlines at nine Turkish business locations since 1 January 2007.

Second, DO & CO added the entire Austrian Airlines Group in Austria to its clientele in March 2007. That means the DO & CO Group now supplies not only Lauda Air flights, as before, but also all flights of the Austrian Airlines Group at Vienna, Linz, Graz and Salzburg. The takeover of the airline catering business of AIREST was associated with this move and itself yielded a number of new customers.

Other fine additions to the clientele are Etihad, a top line Arab carrier, which is now DO & CO customer ex New York, as is Qatar Airways ex Frankfurt.

Third, the division expanded its business with existing customers. Of special note in this context is the expansion of business with Emirates Airlines. The contract for hosting guests at the first and business class lounges in New York was especially successful.

EBITDA and EBIT were both substantially higher than last year. EBITDA totaled EUR 7.18 million, a rise of EUR 2.10 million against the previous year. EBIT increased by EUR 1.19 million to EUR 2.59 million. That corresponds to growth of 117.6 %. The EBIT margin in Airline Catering thus rose from 1.6 % in business year 2005/2006 to 2.1 % in business year 2006/2007.

In the second half of the year under review, DO & CO submitted the winning bid in a tender for the Turkish Airlines account in Turkey. A 50 – 50 joint venture was established to forge stronger cooperative ties between the two companies.

The newly founded company took over the airline catering business locations of Gate Gourmet, the leading airline caterer in the Turkish market and caterer to Turkish Airlines at the time of the tender. These airline catering business locations were acquired as part of an asset deal.

Operations commenced simultaneously at nine business locations on 1 January 2007:

  • -Istanbul – Atatürk
  • -Istanbul – Sabiha Gökcen
  • -Ankara
  • -Antalya
  • -Izmir
  • -Bodrum
  • -Trabzon
  • -Dalaman
  • -Adana

About 24 million meals are produced every year at the nine business locations. That accounts for a 70 % share of the Turkish market. With up to 1,500 employees (1,150 full time), the joint venture TURKISH DO & CO is expected to contribute about EUR 70 million in Airline Catering sales to the DO & CO Group this next business year.

AIRLINE CATERING

In late 2006, the management of the Austrian Airlines Group initiated talks aimed at bringing about a restructuring of on board services of the Austrian Airlines Group. In March 2007, these negotiations resulted in the conclusion of a comprehensive Airline Catering supply contract between the Austrian Airlines Group and DO & CO and to DO & CO's acquisition of the airline catering business of AIREST.

This new airline catering supply agreement between Austrian Airlines and DO & CO supersedes all previous contracts between the Austrian Airlines Group, AIREST and DO & CO. Along with clauses on classic subjects like meals, beverages, storage and equipment handling, the contract also lays down agreements on agency services that DO & CO will perform for the Austrian Airlines Group in the future.

As a result of the agreement, DO & CO will cover the entire Airline Catering needs of Austrian Airlines for more than 10 million passengers and more than 80,000 flights a year at the business locations of Vienna, Linz, Graz and Salzburg.

Following the acquisition of the airline catering business of AIREST, the operating units below were transferred to the DO & CO Group to take economic effect on 1 January 2007:

  • -Airline catering business locations in Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and Bratislava
  • -Austrian Airlines lounges at the Vienna International Airport
  • -Company cafeterias and staff restaurants at the airport and in Vienna
  • -Business and event catering in Vienna, Salzburg and Graz
    • The entire AIREST location in Linz including airline catering, restaurants and other activities
  • -A 40 % stake in AIREST Malta Ltd.

This company was included in the consolidated financial statements starting at the time DO & CO obtained economic control over it. This occurred on 1 March 2007.

It should also be mentioned that DO & CO sold its 76 % stake in the Stockheim Group to Air Berlin on 30 September 2006.

INTERNATIONAL EVENT CATERING

I nternational Event Catering achieved the anticipated sales growth in business year 2006/2007, increasing sales by 9.6 %, or EUR 3.44 million, to EUR 39.04 million. Owing to strong growth in Airline Catering and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel, the share of the special event segment in consolidated sales dropped from 25.0 % the previous year to 18.9 % in the period under review. DO & CO continued its quality growth by prevailing over international competition and emerging as the winning bidder for several international sport events.

Activities in the first quarter of 2007/2008 revolved around the traditional America's Cup in Valencia, where DO & CO catered to international guests of the competition in May and June 2006. After this successful debut in international sailing, DO & CO has been put in charge of gourmet entertainment in the current contests for the prestigious 32nd America's Cup held between April and July 2007. Another highlight came in the second quarter with the 2006 World Equestrian Games or World Championships in Riding and Jumping, held in August 2006 at the same site in Aachen as the CHIO. The third major sports event in business year 2006/2007 had the same venue as one of DO & CO's long-standing events in the Spanish capital city of Madrid. After providing full service to the guests at the ATP Men's Tennis Masters Tournament in October 2006, DO & CO was chosen for its qualities as a premium caterer to host guests a few weeks later at the same site for Women's Tennis Association World Championships.

DO & CO also put in a brilliant performance at a number of major sports events it handled repeatedly in the past. With its usual high quality standards, DO & CO played host to guests at 14 Formula 1 Grand Prix events between April and October, at the Champions League Finals in Paris and the traditional CHIO Tournament in Aachen in May, and at the PGA Golf Tournament in Valderrama, Spain, in October. In January 2007, the DO & CO Sport's Division was again rewarded for its performance and efforts by being singled out as the winner in a major tender: DO & CO emerged as the best bidder for the 2008 European Football Championships in Austria and Switzerland. This marks the second time after Portugal 2004 that DO & CO will have handled the complete VIP hospitality operations at the world's third largest sporting event. EURO 2008 takes place from 7 to 29 June 2008 and therefore falls into the DO & CO business year 2008/2009.

An array of sports events figured large in national event business in 2006/2007 as well. At the EC stadium in Salzburg, DO & CO catered the matches of Austria's new soccer champion Red Bull Salzburg in the national league and in international contests. DO & CO also handled the culinary side of a number of national games for the Austrian Soccer Association (ÖFB) and the ÖFB Cup finals. During the summer break in soccer action, the highlight event was the beach volleyball tournament on the shore of Wörthersee, where fans were impressed by the creativity and quality of DO & CO fare. In winter 2006/2007, the VIP guests at the Hahnenkamm Race in Kitzbühel and the popular Night Slalom in Schladming were treated to superb quality catering from DO & CO. The Austrian Ski Association also relied on DO & CO's culinary mastery in the catering of two major events in World Cup ski jumping at the Four Hills Tournament at Berg Isel in Innsbruck and in Bischofshofen.

International Event Catering increased its EBITDA to EUR 3.83 million (previous year: EUR 3.69 million). This division also continued to have the highest EBITDA margin in the DO & CO Group, namely 9.8 % (previous year: 10.4 %). EBIT rose by 10.0 % to EUR 2.63 million (previous year: EUR 2.39 million). That translates into an EBITDA margin of 6.7 % (previous year: 6.7 %).

Strategy of DO & CO

RESTAURANTS, LOUNGES & HOTEL

Business year 2006/2007 saw Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel achieve robust sales growth of EUR 12.03 million, for total sales of EUR 43.82 million (previous year: EUR 31.79 million). Its share in consolidated sales thus declined in the year under review from 22.4 % to 21.2 %. The sales growth is mainly attributable to the opening of the DO & CO Hotel and the re-opening of the DO & CO Restaurant on St. Stephen's Square in Vienna in December 2005. The catering business in the British Museum and the opening of DEMEL Salzburg boosted sales even further.

The first DO & CO Hotel opened in the Haas Haus in Vienna on April 2006. Directly across the square from St. Stephen's Cathedral, the hotel has the most coveted location in Vienna. Its ultra-modern interior and superb service offer urban luxury at its most sumptuous. The hotel has 41 rooms and two suites on the third to sixth floor of the Haas Haus and had achieved a good occupancy rate from the start. The newly renovated Restaurant in the Haas Haus offers diners a culinary cross section of the world's best cuisines. The modern bar on the sixth floor rounds out the culinary offerings for our guests.

Following its launch in late 2003, the Airline Catering Unit took its first step toward developing catering business in London in May 2006 by landing a catering contract from the British Museum. The British Museum is one of the world's oldest and most important museums and attracts five million visitors a year. The catering operations DO & CO took over comprise five cafés and restaurants plus the special event areas.

The opening of DEMEL Salzburg in July 2006 marks yet another expansion step of the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel Division. DO & CO will now be treating Salzburg to the finest in confectionary arts from DEMEL, its premium brand, in the former premises of the Glockenspiel, a traditional Salzburg coffeehouse. With indoor seating for 120 and garden and terrace seating for 350, DEMEL Salzburg offers traditional Austrian coffeehouse culture of matchless quality. Guests in Salzburg can look forward to an exclusive terrace and a shop with inimitable DEMEL confectionary and hand-made chocolates.

Other top locations for this brand are DEMEL Vienna, where the finest in pastry and confectionery arts are alive and well; Café Griensteidl, a typical Viennese coffeehouse; and the Albertina, with its unique symbiosis of cultural and culinary delights. Gourmet specialties from DO & CO are also available in prime locations at the casinos in Baden

DO & CO STOCK / INVESTOR RELATIONS

T he Vienna Stock Exchange can look back on another successful year in 2006. ATX, the lead index, gained 22 %. Although short of the previous year's incredible performance of 51 %, the strong positive trend definitely persisted on the Vienna Stock Exchange.

The first quarter of 2007 saw a continuation of the trend with moderate growth of 4 %. In April 2007 the ATX topped 4,800 points and peaked on 26 April 2007 at its highest level yet of 4,824 points. The chances of the ATX breaking the magical 5,000 point level will be even better in 2007 due to growth opportunities international investors have recognized in Austrian companies in Central and Eastern Europe.

DO & CO Stock

The price trend for DO & CO stock was highly dynamic in business year 2006/2007. Following gains of 32 % the previous year, DO & CO shares gained another 103 % in the year under review.

Just days before year-end, the stock hit its peak value of EUR 97.50 and closed the business year at EUR 96.50. This price corresponds to market capitalization of EUR 188.06 million.

Following the capital increase in March 2007, DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktien -gesellschaft once again satisfies all criteria for listing in the PRIME MARKET (free float above 25 % again). On 19 March 2007, it returned to trading on the PRIME MARKET after a review by the ATX Committee.

Gen.m.b.H.) decreased its stake from 32.9 % to 25.1 % during the business year and once again in March 2007 in the course of the capital increase from 25.1 % to 20.4 %.

OUTLOOK

Business year 2006/2007 saw several major changes in the DO & CO Group that lay the groundwork for further growth in business year 2007/2008 and for the future direction of the DO & CO Group. The increased volume of business in the new business year 2007/2008 stems from the company's entry into the airline catering market in Turkey, its takeover of AIREST and its successful capital increase in March 2007.

The integration of AIREST is a major priority in Airline Catering. This division will also devise and implement an innovative and harmonized board product for the entire Austrian Airlines Group.

At TURKISH DO & CO, the joint venture operating since January 2007, management's main tasks will be to further develop and strengthen the organizational structure and to optimize company processes. A new on-board product for Turkish Airlines will be designed and implemented in the first half of the year.

Thanks to the efforts to broaden the customer base, DO & CO can count Turkish Airlines also among its clientele ex New York in the new business year starting in July 2007. DO & CO is currently taking part in a number of significant tenders intended to safeguard and further improve the position of the Airline Catering Division in the Group.

Activities in International Event Catering in the first quarter of 2007/2008 are revolving mostly around the 32nd America's Cup in Valencia, which lasts more than three months. Following its successful premiere last year, DO & CO will be displaying its catering skills again in 2007 as the Gourmet Entertainment Company at the world's most important and prestigious sailing event.

The project team in the DO & CO Sports Division is busily preparing for the 2008 European Football Championships in Austria and Switzerland, which will further boost growth in the International Event Catering Division in business year 2008/2009.

The opening of the BMW World in Munich in October 2007 will be a special highlight for the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel Division. DO & CO is proud to have been chosen by BMW to be its exclusive catering partner for the entire catering operations consisting of four cafés and restaurants and the special event areas.

There are changes in store for the two renowned restaurant businesses DO & CO Baden and DO & CO in the Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens. Renovations and innovations are in the works to ensure that our guests can continue to be pampered in ultra-modern facilities.

The many inquiries for further projects for 2008 underscore the strong interest there is in the services of the DO & CO Group. This confirms once again how important DO & CO's consistent quality and brand strategy is for success as a premium caterer in international competition.

The annual financial statements plus notes of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft as of 31 March 2007 along with the Management Report were prepared in accordance with Austrian accounting regulations and audited by PKF CENTURION Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH, which issued an unqualified opinion on these documents. The Supervisory Board concurred with the Management Board in the latter's report on the audit findings and approved the financial statements for 2006/2007. They are thus adopted in accordance with Section 125 (2) of the Corporation Act (AktG).

The consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2007 plus notes were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and were audited, along with the management report on the group, by PKF CENTURION Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH. In the auditor's opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the actual assets and financial position of the DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft Group as of 31 March 2007 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the business year 2006/2007 in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The only particularity pertains to the information on Segment Reporting in accordance with IAS 14, which deviates somewhat from the specifications in the standards. This is because certain group companies conduct business in several segments, making it only conditionally possible to report on a segment basis. The Supervisory Board concurred in the findings of the audit.

Furthermore, the Supervisory Board examined the proposal for the appropriation of profit of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft. As regards the total balance-sheet profit of EUR 13,079,179.47, a proposal will be made to the General Meeting of Shareholders on 5 July 2007 to place EUR 12 million in free reserves, to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.50 for every share entitled to a dividend and to carry the remaining balance-sheet profit of EUR 104,779.47 forward to new account.

The Supervisory Board proposes, in accordance with Section 270 (1) Austrian Commercial Code and Rule 78 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, that PKF CENTURION Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH be appointed to be (group) auditor for the financial statements for business year 2007/2008.

The Supervisory Board unanimously reappointed Attila Dogudan for another 5-year term as chairman of the Management Board.

Two Supervisory Board meetings in March 2007 were devoted to passing the necessary resolutions for the successful capital increase of EUR 2,360,413.65 through the issuance of 324,800 new bearer shares.

At its meeting on 11 June 2007, the Auditing Committee dealt with the annual financial statements of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft, the consolidated financial statements, and the summarized Management Report as well as the proposal for the appropriation of profit, the Management Letter and the assessment of the effective functioning of risk management.

NOTES

T he consolidated financial statements of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG as of 31 March 2007 were prepared in conformity with the provisions of the pertinent guidelines of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in force on the reference date in application of provision §245a Austrian Commercial Code and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as they are to be applied in the European Union (EU).

I. I. GENERAL INFORMATION

I.1. Basic Principles

DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG is an international catering group with headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It conducts business in three segments: Airline Catering, Inter national Event Catering, and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel.

The consolidated financial statements conform to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid for business year 2006/2007, as applicable in the European Union (EU). The material changes in IAS 19 had no effects on accounting and valuation methods; in particular, DO & CO did not exercise the option to record actuarial profits and losses in shareholders' equity. Nor will DO & CO voluntarily opt for the early application of the newly formulated provisions in IAS 1 (disclosures about capital), IFRS 7 (disclosures about financial instruments), IFRS 8 (operating segments), IFRIC 7 (applying the restatement approach under IAS 29 financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies), IFRIC 8 (scope of IFRS 2) and IFRIC 9 (reassessment of embedded derivatives). With the exception of the amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS 7, the above changes are not expected to have material effects on the presentation of the assets, earnings and financial situation of the group or they are insignificant for the group. The amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS 7 pertain exclusively to future new disclosure obligations in the financial statements.

The financial statements of all domestic and foreign companies included in full in the consolidated accounts were audited by independent auditors who issued unqualified opinions on them in each case. The only exceptions were companies already subject to audit under national law and immaterial to presenting a fair picture of the assets, earnings and financial situation of the group. The annual and interim financial statements of all subsidiaries included here were properly prepared in accordance with the Inter -national Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid for the business year 2006/2007 as applied in the EU and in application of the parent's standard group-wide accounting and valuation principles.

I.2. Consolidation Principles

2.1. Scope of Consolidation

The scope of consolidation was determined in accordance with the principles of IAS 27 (Consolidated Financial Statements). In accordance with this standard, fourteen domestic and sixteen foreign subsidiaries were included in the consolidated accounts as of 31 March 2007 along with DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG. All the above subsidiaries are wholly-owned directly or indirectly by the latter company. The group has a 90 % stake in one domestic company included in full in the consolidated accounts.

With the agreement of 27 September 2006, TIS Total Inflight Solution Germany GmbH, Berlin, established in the previous year as a subsidiary of DO & CO International Investments Ltd., London, in which the latter held a 76 % interest, was sold effective 30 September 2006, as were the 76 % stakes in TIS Germany Airline Catering Verwaltungs GmbH and in TIS Germany Airline Catering GmbH & Co KG.

The following material change occurred in the subsidiaries included in the consolidated accounts at equity:

The stake in DO & CO – LAUDA-AIR Restaurants, Catering & Handling GmbH, Vienna, amounting to 50 % of the total paid-in share capital of EUR 150,000.00, which was previously included at equity in the consolidated financial statements, was increased by a further 50 % under the purchase agreement of 1 March 2007. The company name was consequently changed to DO & CO Handling GmbH. The resulting whollyowned subsidiary was included in full in the consolidated accounts as of 31 March 2007.

2.2. Consolidation Methods

The initial consolidation in the accounts was carried out on 1 April 1997 or at the later date of acquisition or at the reporting date close in time if the effects thereof were immaterial as compared with the date of acquisition. The capital of fully consolidated associated companies was consolidated in accordance with the purchase method. In the process, the purchase costs were offset against the revalued equity of the subsidiary at the time of purchase (purchase method). The positive sums on consolidation were recognized as goodwill unless allocable to the revalued assets. In accordance with IFRS 3 (Business Combinations), goodwill arising from acquisitions is not subject to scheduled amortization but only to an annual impairment test on its value and is written down only in the case of an unscheduled reduction in value.

The capital of the associated companies included in the accounts at equity was likewise consolidated on the basis of the same equity accounting method as with full inclusion in the consolidated accounts. Any national valuation methods were either retained or no adjustment was made if effects on the annual profit/loss included proportionally in the consolidated financial statements were immaterial.

Minority interests in the equity of fully consolidated subsidiaries which exceeded these shareholders' proportional share in equity due to incurred losses were offset against the consolidated equity and reported separately.

In the course of debt consolidation; loans, receivables and payables between companies included in the consolidated accounts were offset against each other. Moreover, sales revenues and other income from deliveries and services between the fully consolidated companies were offset against the corresponding expense items. Any interim results in fixed and current assets from deliveries and services within the group were eliminated unless of negligible significance. Discounts applied to determine the current value of future payments and other one-sided entries affecting profit/loss were adjusted in the consolidated financial statements. Income tax effects were taken into account in consolidation operations affecting profit and loss and deferred tax was recognized.

The scope of consolidation changed as follows in business year 2006/2007:

THY DO & CO Ikram Hizmetleri Anonim Sirketi was established under a joint venture agreement concluded in September 2006 between DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG and Türk Hava Yollari A.O. (Turkish Airlines). A wholly-owned subsidiary of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG took over 50 % of the shares. Owing to the subsidiary's controlling interest in THY DO & CO, the latter was included in full in the consolidated accounts for the first time as of 31 March 2007. Under an asset deal, this company then took over the operating facilities and employees of an airline catering company conducting business in Turkey.

As part of purchase price allocation in accordance with IFRS 3, intangible assets (customer contracts, licenses) and tangible assets (fixtures and fittings in third-party buildings) were recorded; no goodwill was recognized.

With the agreement of 1 March 2007 ("Share purchase agreement"), DO & CO Catering-Consult & Beteiligungs GmbH acquired all shares of AIREST Restaurant- und Hotelbetriebsgesellschaft m.b.H (thereafter the name of the acquired company was changed to AIREST Catering GmbH) from Airline, Terminal & Business Catering Holding GmbH, a subsidiary of the SAVE Group. Based on this agreement and the "Business transfer agreement" concluded on 1 March 2007 the following acquisitions were made:

    • "Airline Catering" business at the business locations in Vienna, Salzburg, Linz, Graz and Bratislava, as well as
  • -Culinary services at the Austrian Airlines lounges at the Vienna International Airport,
  • -Catering operations at the Linz Airport,
  • -"Business & Event Catering" and
  • a 40 % stake in AIREST Malta Ltd.

The acquisition took economic effect retroactive to 1 January 2007.

Under the "Business transfer agreement", the remaining lines of business of AIREST Restaurant- und Hotelbetriebsgesellschaft m.b.H. (except for the 49 % stake in ISS AIREST Bodenabfertigungsdienste Ges.m.b.H.) remained in the hands of the SAVE Group. This agreement is implemented by means of a spin-off for the absorption of these lines of business (in accordance with the Austrian Demerger Act (Spaltungsgesetz)) into AIREST Gastronomy and Retail GmbH (with retroactive effect to 31 December 2006) and the transfer of the shares in this company to the SAVE Group. The drafts of the demerger and takeover agreements including attachments were filed in accordance with § 7 Demerger Act with the Commercial Register Court on 24 May 2007.

These consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2007 recognize the spin-off as specified in the submitted documents. The shares in AIREST Gastronomy and Retail GmbH are recorded as non-current assets held for sale (IFRS 5).

As part of purchase price allocation in accordance with IFRS 3, intangible assets (customer contract) were recognized and goodwill was set at TEUR 4,507.

Total Inflight Solution GmbH, Vienna, established the previous year as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG, was transferred with the agreement of 14 May 2007 to DO & CO Catering-Consult & Beteiligungs GmbH effective 31 March 2007. Total Inflight Solution GmbH is no longer included in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2007, because held for sale.

acquisitions are valued at the time of acquisition as the surplus of expenses for the acquisition over the fair value of the acquired assets less debts and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is reported below as the difference after deducting acquisition costs and less required impairment. The need for impairment of assets is tested annually by determining the discounted present value of the assets and debts allocable to the goodwill and comparing that figure with the goodwill. When subsidiaries are sold, the goodwill allocable to them are proportionally written off in a manner affecting profit and loss.

The goodwill on consolidation carried forward as of 31 March 2007 was as follows:

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at their cost of acquisition less scheduled, allocated depreciation or less unscheduled and continued depreciation. Assets showing signs of diminished value and present values of future payment surpluses under the book values were written down in accordance with IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets) to a value obtainable if they were sold singly or to the liquidation value.

Scheduled depreciation was effected on a straight-line basis. Assets added in the first half of the financial year were always written down at the full annual rate of depreciation; those added after 30 September 2006 were subjected to half of the annual rate or written down pro rata temporis.

The following service life figures based on expected economic or technical usefulness were applied in the main to scheduled, straight-line depreciation and amortization of fixed assets:

Assets of minor value are immediately written down to a token amount during the year of acquisition to the full extent permitted by tax law. In the schedule of changes in fixed assets, assets of minor value are recorded as a disposal on expiration of a period of assumed usefulness of three years.

Government grants and third-party building cost subsidies (investment grants) were recorded under liabilities and written down in a way affecting profit/loss in accordance with the useful life of the subsidized asset.

Leased tangible fixed assets deemed economically to be asset purchases involving long-term financing and a transfer of substantially all the risks and rewards incident to asset ownership (finance lease) were recorded under assets at their present value in accordance with IAS 17 (Leases). Amortization is scheduled and undertaken in accordance with the useful economic life of the assets. Payment obligations arising from the future leasing rates were appropriately discounted and recorded under trade payables.

2.3. Currency Translation

The annual financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were translated in accordance with the functional currency principle as outlined in IAS 21 (The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates). The functional currency of all companies is the national currency of their country of registration since the subsidiaries are independent financially, economically and organizationally in their conduct of business.

The annual financial statements of five foreign subsidiaries with registered offices outside the Community Territory of the Member States of the European Union and two subsidiaries with registered offices in Great Britain were translated in accordance with the principles of the modified current rate method. The balance sheet items were valued at the mean rate on the reporting date of 31 March 2007. Income and expenses on the income statement were translated at the annual average rate.

Translation differences on the reporting date arising from the balance sheet were allocated to shareholders' equity without affecting profit and loss. Translation differences between the reporting date rate within the balance sheet and the average rate in the income statement were offset in shareholders' equity. Negative translation differences of TEUR 297 were recognized in equity in the year under review without affecting profit and loss.

The movements in fixed assets were presented at average rates. Changes in the mean of the buying and selling price of foreign exchange as of the balance sheet date compared with that of the previous year and differences arising from the application of average rates were separately recorded in the consolidated assets schedule as "currency changes."

Non-realized translation differences in conjunction with monetary items which are economically allocable to a share in an associated company, particularly borrowings under company loans issued to American subsidiaries, were allocated with no effect on profit or loss to an adjustment item for translation differences and recorded in shareholders' equity.

The exchange rates used in currency conversion for significant currencies developed as follows:

I.3. Accounting and Valuation Principles

The accounting and valuation principles were the same as those applied in the previous year's consolidated financial statements.

Acquired intangible assets are shown at the cost of acquisition less scheduled amortization. The cost of acquisition of goodwill acquired in connection with company

1 New Turkish Lira 0.541859 0.533331

Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Income

Prepaid expenses and deferred income are carried under other receivables and liabilities. These items pertain to expenditures or incoming payments received prior to the reporting date but intended for a certain time after that date.

Provisions for Termination Benefits and Similar Types of Payments

The projected benefit obligation (PBO) method was applied in calculating Austrian group companies' obligations to employees under the law or under collective agreements to set up a one-time termination benefit to be paid out on dismissal or retirement. In the process, the projected benefits were determined on the basis of an imputed rate of increase of 4 % pa (previous year's rate: 4 % pa) and on the basis of expected pay raises (2 % pa), with 60 assumed as the retirement age for female employees and 65 for male employees.

A provision for long-service anniversaries primarily for employees at Austrian companies was recorded under liabilities as an obligation similar to the termination benefit. This provision was determined on the basis of the same calculation factors applied to termination benefit provisions. The present value of these provisions was determined in an expertise and recorded under liabilities taking into account a discount for age-related fluctuation. Actuarial gains and losses were immediately offset in the year of occurrence in a manner affecting profit and loss owing to their immaterial influence on earnings. Benefit-based termination pay obligations of foreign companies were provided for in accordance with comparable methods unless contribution-based provision systems were involved.

Termination pay obligations to employees at a Turkish group company were calculated on the basis of an imputed rate of increase of 11.71 % pa and on the basis of expected pay raises of 5 % pa. Obligations arising from a pension commitment to a former employee (of a subsidiary acquired in the year under review) were determined on the basis of the same calculation factors used for the termination pay provisions of Austrian group companies.

Other Provisions

Other long and short-term provisions were recognized for all legal or constructive obligations to third parties arising from a past event if payment was probable, i.e. if an outflow of cash for them was more likely than not. The amounts recognized as provisions were the best estimates of the expenditures required to settle the present obligations at the balance sheet date.

Liabilities

Liabilities were carried at the cost of acquisition applying the effective interest method. Foreign currency liabilities were valued at the mean between the foreign-exchange buying and selling rate applicable on the reporting date.

Estimates

To a certain extent, consolidated financial statements require that estimates and assumptions be made which affect the balance-sheet assets and liabilities involved as well as the information on other obligations as of the reporting date and the presentation of income and expenses during the period reviewed. The amounts actually realized in the future could diverge from these estimates.

Shares in Associated Companies

Shares in associated companies pertained to AIREST Slovensko s.r.o. and to a company being established in Hungary that were not consolidated due to immaterial effects on the assets, earnings and financial situation.

Shares in associated companies were valued at the cost of acquisition.

Shares in Associated Companies and Other Financial Assets

The shares in associated companies were valued at equity. Securities were valued at their cost of acquisition at the time of their addition and valued in subsequent periods at the currently applicable market value as quoted on the stock exchange. Fluctuations in market value are recognized in the financial result in a manner affecting profit/loss.

Inventories

Inventories were valued at cost of acquisition or the lower market value on the reporting date. The cost of acquisition was determined primarily using the moving average price method. The quantities were determined by physical stock-taking conducted close to the balance sheet date.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Other Assets

Accounts receivable and other assets were carried as assets at their nominal value unless, in the case of discernible specific risks, suitable value adjustments were made and the lower applicable value was to be applied. Non-interest or non-interest-bearing receivables were recorded at their discounted present value. Foreign-currency items from the financial statements of individual companies included in the consolidated accounts were largely valued at the foreign-exchange middle rate as of the reporting date unless the price of acquisition was below that rate as of the reporting date, with the deviations being not insubstantial.

Non-current Assets Held for Sale/Liablities Directly Allocable to Non-current Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale and liabilities of subsidiaries were carried according to IFRS 5 at the lower of the book value and the applicable present market value less sales expenses under this item.

Current Financial Assets

Current financial assets (cash in hand and at banks) were recorded under cash and cash equivalents and, in the case of receivables expressed in foreign currency, were valued at the current market rates as at the reporting date.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax liabilities were recognized in accordance with IAS 12 (Income Taxes) for all temporary valuation and accounting differences between the values applied in the individual companies' balance sheets under IFRS and under tax law. The value adjustments were calculated on the basis of the usual national income tax rate of the given group company at the time of the reversal of the value difference. Deferred tax assets were recognized for unused tax loss carryforwards to the extent that there will be sufficient future taxable profit against which the loss carryforwards can be utilized in the foreseeable future.

Obligations from the use of property, plant and equipment not reported in the balance sheet pertain to lease or rental agreements on movables and to leases on real estate and were as follows:

An obligation of TEUR 23,900 exists based on a long-term lease (waiver of termination until 2024).

Other production plant and office equipment includes standard values of TEUR 311 (previous year: TEUR 213) for tableware, cutlery, table linen and containers. The standard values were carried under assets at the companies producing sales in the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel Division.

Expenses connected to equity interests in two associated companies included at equity amounted in business year 2006/2007 to TEUR 3 (previous year: income of TEUR 20).

Other securities carried under fixed assets were valued at cost of acquisition or the lower applicable prices.

(2) Other Long-Term Assets

The other long-term assets of subsidiaries included in the consolidated accounts pertain primarily to capitalized advance income tax payments by DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG due to the latter having a business year that diverges from the calendar year and due to receivables arising from counter-trade as well as deposit payments put down for leased facilities.

(3) Inventories

The sub-item "Goods purchased" includes TEUR 1,627 (previous year: TEUR 1,446) in standard-value items for tableware, cutlery, table linen, serving aids and containers as well as for other work aids, with account taken of future usefulness.

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated profit/loss after minority interests by the weighted number of shares issued.

II. NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET AND THE INCOME STATEMENT

II.1. Notes to the Balance Sheet

(1) Fixed Assets

A breakdown of the fixed asset items summarized in the consolidated balance sheet and changes in them during business year 2006/2007 are shown in the attached assets schedule. Translation adjustments are the amounts resulting from the translation of assets of foreign subsidiaries at the different reporting date rates prevailing at the beginning and end of the year under review and from the use of average rates.

The intangible fixed assets recorded pertain solely to other rights, in particular customer contracts, licenses, trademark titles, rights of use, and software licenses. The group had no company-produced intangible fixed assets eligible for capitalization in the year under review.

As part of purchase price allocation of the companies acquired in 2006/2007, goodwill was set at TEUR 4,507; other intangible assets (customer contracts and licenses) at TEUR 40,538; and fixtures and fittings in third-party buildings, at TEUR 9,410. These items other than goodwill will be subjected to scheduled amortization based on the expected period of economic usefulness.

The land included under tangible fixed assets has a value of TEUR 854 (previous year: TEUR 752). The company effected no unscheduled depreciation on this item in business year 2006/2007 (previous year: TEUR 1,291).

The following amounts were recorded under tangible fixed assets (other production plant and office equipment) based on finance lease agreements the company entered into:

Tangible assets 43,419 28,628

Total 91,334 33,632

(6) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash at banks increased due to the capital increase effected shortly before the reporting date and to changes in the scope of companies included in the consolidated accounts. An amount of TEUR 7,660 from this total was invested in short-term time deposits.

(7) Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from the following temporary accounting and valuation differences between the book values in the consolidated financial statements under IFRS and the corresponding bases of assessment for taxation:

No deferred taxes were capitalized in these consolidated financial statements for differences on the asset side and for tax loss carry-forwards totaling TEUR 1,645 (previous year: TEUR 1,579), because the company is not yet sufficiently certain that these deferred tax assets can be realized as future tax relief.

(4) Trade Accounts Receivable and Other Short-Term Accounts Receivable and Assets

The current assets with a residual term of less than one year can be summarized as follows:

Trade receivables were recorded at nominal value less required specific write-downs amounting to TEUR 2,788 (previous year: TEUR 2,767) for any default risk or interest losses. The TEUR 8,828 increase in other accounts receivable and assets from TEUR 3,600 to TEUR 12,428 pertained largely to the offsetting of value-added tax claims with foreign authorities and to advance payments of corporate tax carried under assets.

(5) Non-current Assets Held for Sale

In connection with the acquisition of AIREST Catering GmbH, the acquiring group company agreed to spin off the operating units remaining with the original owner of this company (SAVE Group) and sell them at a pre-set price with retroactive economic effect to 1 January 2007.

Further, the acquiring group company agreed to spin off and sell the interest in ISS AI-REST Bodenabfertigungsdienste Ges.m.b.H. The shares in the absorbing company (Total Inflight Solution GmbH) are therefore carried under this item.

These demerger operations are expected to be completed at the end of June 2007.

The shares of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG have been listed since 19 March 2007 in the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange (before that in the Standard Market Continuous). The majority shareholder of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG is Attila DOGUDAN Privatstiftung. DZR Immobilien und Beteiligungs GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of the registered limited-liability association Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien, holds a stake of 20.4 %, and the remaining shares are in free float.

Besides earnings salted away in reserves, the revenue reserve item contains revenue reserves in the amount of the tax investment allowances taken advantage of, as recorded in the individual financial statements of domestic companies. Besides legally stipulated revenue reserves of various individual companies included in the consolidated accounts, this item contains all revenue reserves at subsidiaries not eliminated in the course of capital consolidation as well as changes arising from consolidation entries adapted in 2006/2007, said changes not having any effect on profit and loss.

Minority interests include the direct 10 % minority interest in the equity of the fully consolidated DO & CO im PLATINUM Restaurantbetriebs GmbH. This item also includes the 50 % minority interest in THY DO & CO Ikram Hizmetleri A.S.

Since the stake in DO & CO Holdings USA, Inc. was increased in the year under review from 90 % to 100 %, the minority interests reported under this item up until last year no longer existed at the reporting date.

(9) Long-Term Provisions

The composition of and changes in long-term provisions as of the reporting date were as follows:

The values of provisions for termination benefits and for long-service anniversary payments were calculated as of the reported date along actuarial lines in expert opinions applying the projected benefit obligation method. The imputed interest rate and the pay increase rate remained unchanged over the previous year at 4 % pa and 2 % pa, respectively. Actuarial gains and losses were recognized in the year of their occurrence in a manner affecting profit and loss.

Termination pay obligations to employees at a Turkish group company were calculated on the basis of an imputed rate of increase of 11.71 % pa and on the basis of expected pay raises of 5 % pa.

(8) Shareholders' Equity

The consolidated shareholders' equity developed as follows in the business years 2005/2006 and 2006/2007:

On 26 March 2007, the Management Board decided, with the consent of the Supervisory Board granted that same day, to increase the share capital from the authorized capital approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 10 July 2002. It thereby increased capital by EUR 2,360,413.65 from EUR 11,802,068.26 to EUR 14,162,481.91, by issuing 324,800 new bearer shares at an issue price of EUR 7.27 (rounded) per share. Pursuant to § 169 (3) last sentence of the Corporation Act (AktG), the total number of shares increased by the same ratio as the amount of the increase to the amount of previous share capital. The new shares entitle the bearer to participate in profit from 1 April 2006. The capital increase was effected in exchange for cash contributions.

The share capital of DO & CO restaurants & Catering AG totals EUR 14,162,481.91 and is divided into 1,948,800 individual bearer shares endowed with voting rights.

The subscription and offer price for the capital increase was set at EUR 82.00 per share on offer. A total of 324,800 new shares were placed.

The surplus from the issue amount above the par value (premium) totaling TEUR 24,273 was allocated to committed capital reserves pursuant to § 130 Corporation Act in connection with § 229 (2) Austrian Commercial Code. Pursuant to IAS 32.35, the costs of capital acquisition less all associated income tax advantages were deducted from shareholders' equity.

Taking into account the capital increase, the Management Board is still empowered until 30 June 2007 to increase the share capital by a further EUR 3,540,620.48 in exchange for cash contributions or contributions in kind (authorized capital).

Provisions for payroll expenses pertain largely to three sets of provisions. The first totals TEUR 1,706 (previous year: TEUR 1,025) and relates to pro rata special payments due to having a business year not coinciding with the calendar year.

The average number of employees was as follows:

Number 2006/2007 2005/2006
Workers 1,777 1,14 3
Salaried employees 237 197
Total 2,014 1,340

Financial Instruments

DO & CO faces interest rate and currency risks owing to the nature of its operating activities and utilized derivative financial instruments to control and limit these risks. In no case were derivatives employed for trading or speculative transactions. No derivative financial instruments were employed in business year 2006/2007.

Financial instruments are claims to payment as a result of a contractually based economic operation (IAS 32). They include what are considered original financial instruments, namely, trade receivables and payables as well as financial receivables and financial debts. They also include derivative financial instruments used to hedge currency risks and interest risks. Claims or obligations arising from derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency positions did not exist as of the reporting date.

The level of original financial instruments is evident from the balance sheet. The accounting and valuation principles pertinent to the individual balance sheet items were applied in each case. The receivables recorded under assets and reduced by appropriate value adjustments represent the maximum solvency and default risk. Since the ratings of existing and new customers are continuously monitored; the credit risk from customer receivables can be considered negligible based on present knowledge. This risk depends on market developments. The credit risk arising from the investment of cash and cash equivalents and securities is also deemed to be non-existent, given the excellent credit rating of the contractual partners and the low level of assets tied up in securities. The recorded book values for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and short-term receivables and liabilities correspond in the main to the current market values due to the short maturities involved. There were outstanding financial debts as of the reporting date from a short-term euro cash advance and from longer-term financial exposure to finance the expansion of the group in the year under review, for which an interest risk could arise depending on how money market interest rates develop. Virtually all of the other receivables and liabilities resulting from operations had a remaining term of less than one year and posed no interest risk of material significance.

Currency risks exist in all cases in which receivables and liabilities are invoiced in a currency other than the local currency of the company. The company strives to use the foreign currency in internal group deliveries and services as a counter-balance to minimize the currency risk as long as no closed foreign exchange positions arise from offsetting receivables in the foreign currency against liabilities equivalent as regards term and amount in the same currency.

Currency risks with respect to trade receivables derive primarily from deliveries and services, especially from the US dollar with a share of 6 % (previous year: 15 %) and the British pound with 12 % (previous year: 14 %) and the Turkish lira, with 23 %. With respect to trade payables, the US dollar accounts for 1 % (previous year: 4 %) of total currency risk while the British pound accounts for 9 % (previous year: 12 %) and the Turkish lira for 14 %. Investments at any given group company are made largely within that company's own currency area so that only quite limited currency risks arise in this respect.

On average, a further 292 individuals (previous year: 216) worked part-time in addition to the workers indicated above.

The following individuals served as members of the corporate boards of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG in business year 2006/2007:

The Management Board: Attila DOGUDAN, Vienna, Chairman Michael DOBERSBERGER, Vienna

The emoluments for the members of the Management Board in the year under review totaled TEUR 452 (previous year: TEUR 432), with Attila Dogudan receiving approximately TEUR 241 (previous year: TEUR 205) and Michael Dobersberger receiving approximately TEUR 210 (previous year: TEUR 228).

The Supervisory Board: Waldemar JUD, Graz, Chairman Werner SPORN, Vienna, Deputy Chairman Georg THURN-VRINTS, Poysbrunn Christian KONRAD, Vienna

SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES

between Austrian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

Goodwill from capital consolidation: The Austrian Commercial Code permits the offsetting of retained earnings without effect to net income or capitalization of straightline depreciation. IFRS 3, for its part, stipulates that goodwill be capitalized and subjected to an annual impairment test. Scheduled amortization has now been eliminated.

Deferred Taxes: In accordance with IAS/IFRS, deferred taxes are to be accrued for all temporary differences between the tax balance sheet and the IFRS balance sheet, applying the currently valid tax rate whereas the Austrian Commercial Code only requires accrual for temporary differences involving deferred tax liabilities. In deviation from the regulations of the Austrian Commercial Code, deferred tax assets under IFRS are also to be recognized for tax losses carried forward, insofar as it is likely that they can be offset against taxable profits in the future.

Other Provisions: The Austrian Commercial Code is based on the principle of commercial prudence. IAS/IFRS, for its part, is geared towards the determinability of payment obligations for which provisions should be formed and the degree of probability of the relevant events occurring. Unlike Austrian commercial law, IAS/IFRS does not permit expense provisions to be formed.

Personnel provisions: Under IAS/IFRS, personnel provisions (for termination benefits, long-service anniversary bonus) are calculated on the basis of the Projected Benefit Obligation Method, applying the current interest rate on the capital market and taking into account future pay raises. Under the Austrian Commercial Code, these provisions are calculated according to the part-value method applying an imputed discounted rate.

Sales of marketable securities: According to the Austrian Commercial Code, marketable securities are to be assessed at the lower market values or at most at their cost of acquisition. Under the IFRS, marketable securities are always assessed at market values.

Valuation of foreign currency amounts: Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency are always valued on the reporting date at the rate prevailing on that date. As a result, any currency fluctuation is recorded in a manner affecting profit and loss. The Austrian Commercial Code takes a different approach. Only unrealized losses are recorded on the balance sheet in keeping with the imparity principle. Under IFRS, conversion-related currency differences from debt consolidation in connection with innergroup loans are recorded under shareholders' equity as unrealized price gains or losses without an effect on profit or loss.

Extraordinary result: IFRS does not permit a company to record an extraordinary result; Austrian accounting rules do.

Expanded disclosure obligation: IAS/IFRS requires that the items on the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and the development of shareholder's equity be explained in detail in the Notes. It also imposes additional disclosure obligations as regards business segments and derivative financial instruments in particular.

SCHEDULE OF CHANGES IN FIXED ASSETS

as of 31 March 2007

AUDITOR'S UNQUALIFIED OPINION

and Auditor's Report

To the Management Board of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG for the business year 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007. These consolidated financial statements consist of the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 March 2007, the income statement, the consolidated cash-flow statement and the schedule of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity for the business year ending 31 March 2007 as well as a summary of the principle accounting and valuation methods applied and other information in the notes.

Responsibility of the Management of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The company's management is responsible for preparing these consolidated financial statements to convey as fairly as possible the group's actual assets and financial position and the results of their operations and their cash flows in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as be applied in the European Union. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal system control relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements and to conveying as fairly as possible the group's assets, earnings and financial situation so that these financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Further, it entails selecting and applying appropriate accounting and valuation methods and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Responsibility of the Auditor

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with valid legal regulations in Austria and in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) published by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). These standards require that we abide by the code of ethics of our profession and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of 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 misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In assessing these risks, the auditor takes into account the internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements and to conveying as fairly as possible the group's assets, earnings and financial situation in order to determine suitable auditing activities for the given circumstances. It is not the auditor's task to issue an opinion on the effectiveness of the group's internal control system. An audit also involves assessing the accounting and valuation principles applied and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe our audit has yielded sufficient and suitable audit evidence that provides a sufficient and reliable basis for our audit opinion.

Auditor's Opinion

Our audit led to no objections. In our opinion, based on the knowledge gained in the audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with the legal requirements and present fairly, in all material respects, the actual assets and financial position of the group as of 31 March 2007 and the results of the group's operations and cash flows for the business year 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as they are to be applied in the EU.

Without in any way diminishing our unqualified auditor's opinion, we note that the demerger operation connected with the acquisition of AIREST Catering GmbH had not yet been completed at the time we did our audit. These consolidated financial statements take into account the demerger as described in the documents submitted to the Commercial Register Court.

Report on the Consolidated Management Report

The consolidated management report is to be audited in accordance with valid Austrian laws and regulations to obtain assurance that it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and does not misrepresent the group's situation. In our opinion, the consolidated management report for the group is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
