Furthermore, DO & CO handled 17 Formula 1 grand prix races in 15 countries in the 2011/2012 business year.

3. Economic Climate
The 2011/2012 business year was characterized by a noticeable weakening of global economic climate.
The political upheavals in the Near East, the consequences of the devastating natural and nuclear disasters in Japan, the large sovereign debt accumulated by the U.S. and some eurozone countries and the resultant volatility of international financial markets combined to produce a significant slowdown of economic growth, which had its greatest impact on the United States and Europe.
In Europe, uncertainty with regard to the scope and effectiveness of the measures taken to support indebted national economies and the austerity programs implemented by various governments weighed on the economy, with the euro area growing by just 1.4%, compared to 1.9% in 2010. In response to the financial and economic crisis, the European Central Bank reduced its interest rates in the second half of the year, down to a record low of 1.0%, thereby reversing its two interest rate increases of April and July 2011.
As the largest economy in the euro zone, Germany managed an increase in its real gross domestic product of 3.0%, thereby continuing its role as the economic powerhouse of Europe.
Business in the U.S. similarly suffered from the economic weakness in 2011. Its economy was affected by sluggish private consumption and high unemployment.
Asia and others of the main emerging economies experienced, moderate reductions in their growth rates. Even China, while still posting an impressively positive performance, experienced a deceleration in its economic growth rate. In Japan, the natural and nuclear disasters caused a severe contraction of its industrial production.
Austria managed to have a very good first half-year 2011, which resulted in a growth of its real economy by 3.1% as an average across the year. The development was propelled chiefly by brisk exports and lively investments by its businesses. With a jobless rate of 4.2% (Eurostat definition), Austria reported the lowest unemployment in all of the EU member states in 2011. According to OeNB forecasts, growth in 2012 will be down to 0.7%, as the global economic environment deteriorates and uncertainty continues to prevail. Nevertheless, it should be possible to avoid a recession.
The Turkish economy reported a strong growth rate of around 8% in 2011, driven mainly by by private consumption and business investment. However, according to IMF data, high inflation and a large current account deficit threaten to curtail abruptly the country's economic growth in 2012. The Turkish government expects a growth rate of just 4.0%.
The escalating debt crisis in Europe has caused the euro/dollar exchange rate to gradually approach the 1.30 level in the second half of 2011. As of 30 March 2012, the USD/EUR rate was 1.3356 (source: OeNB).
Following a global growth rate of 3.7% in 2011, the World Bank expects growth of only 2.5% in 2012, in the wake of the ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone, faltering confidence in the international financial markets and weakened growth in some key threshold countries and LDCs.
4. Risk Management
DO & CO is exposed to widely varying risks because it conducts business globally in three different segments: Airline Catering, International Event Catering and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel. Yet this diversification also opens up many opportunities for the further development of the company.
DO & CO views risk management as a crucial instrument for guiding the company. These efforts ensure the continued existence of the business while creating opportunities to improve the company's assets, financial and earnings position by utilizing future potential for growth and profits. With its risk management, the company responds reliably and promptly to any changes in basic conditions.
The risk and opportunity management system is based on standardized, group-wide planning and control processes and on intercompany guidelines and reporting systems that adhere to the principles of risk management and the risk structures according to COSO1 .
Coordinated by the Corporate Risk Manager, risk and opportunity management is considered a core management task and an integral part of all business processes. The Group therefore identifies risks more quickly, but also opportunities. Reporting is done on an ongoing basis, so all managers and decision-makers are personally involved in risk management.
Identified risks and opportunities are grouped into risk and opportunity categories and assigned by the Corporate Risk Manager to the managers responsible for the given area for further action. Strategies for coping with the identified risks and utilizing the identified opportunities are then devised and subsequently pursued on site by local management. The aim of these actions is to reduce possible damage from risks and minimize the probability of them occurring while increasing opportunities for earnings and the possibilities for realizing profits.
Diversification plays a significant role in this process. The Group conducts business worldwide in three divisions, thus alleviating specific threats in individual markets. In other words, the business model of DO & CO provides additional mechanisms to compensate for risks.
Risk management efforts are supported by a multitude of regulations and activities, including those of the Central Administration, Controlling, Legal Compliance and Internal Audit.
The Group's risk management system closely cooperates with insurers to ensure that proper coverage is provided for those risks that are insurable.
The following risk categories were identified as material for the business year 2011/2012:
Risks and Trends Specific to the Airline Industry
The airline industry is heavily dependent on cyclical economic trends that act both globally and in the respective regions. Specific problems facing the aviation industry also impact both directly and indirectly on DO & CO's Airline Catering division. Airline performance in turn depends on developments in fuel prices, tax rates and airport and security charges.
With DO & CO achieving large parts of its sales from a handful of key customers, such as Turkish Airlines, Austrian Airlines, NIKI, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific and British Airways, the Group therefore to some extent runs a "cluster risk".
The company has thus instituted a course of permanent monitoring of the macroeconomic situation combined with ensuring that its key account managers are in constant contact with

airline clients, so it can react quickly to any changes in their economic situation and promptly counter negative effects of the airline industry on the DO & CO Group. The acquisition of new customers obtained from participating in tenders worldwide helps the Group to further diversify risks.
Economic Developments
DO & CO business in all three divisions is strongly shaped by global economic trends, because these trends have an enormous influence on tourism and consumers' leisure-time behavior. Volatility in consumers' travel activities, especially air travel, affects Airline Catering in particular.
To counter economic risk in its business, DO & CO has diversified its locations by region in seven different countries and by sector in three different market segments. Prompt reporting of business results includes analysis and forecasts on current operating business in each reporting entity (e.g. the group companies are divided into units comparable to profit centers for internal reporting purposes). These efforts ensure that capacity is adjusted immediately.
Risks Pertaining to Terrorism and Political Unrest
High-level international security precautions have stabilized the risks of terrorism in the year under review in areas where the DO & CO Group conducts business, but negative ramifications for the airline industry from this problem can be expected at any time. The constant adjustment of security standards to incorporate the latest findings has cut the danger of terrorist attacks. Nevertheless, the DO & CO Group constantly monitors the political situation to be prepared to take appropriate action where required.
Risks Pertaining to Force Majeure and Epidemics
Risks which are beyond the control of DO & CO but which heavily impact on the airline and tourism industries include the outbreak of epidemics such as avian flu or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). This risk category also includes natural disasters such as the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010 which repeatedly brought air traffic in large parts of Northern and Central Europe to a complete or partial standstill for several days in a row, and the nuclear incident and radioactive contamination in Japan.
The specific risk of long-term closing of large parts of the air space and attendant large-scale cancellation of flights by the Group's partners is counteracted by our close cooperation with airlines, aeronautical authorities (EASA) and the international air weather service.
Hygiene Risks
To ensure that the food it produces complies with its high hygienic standards, DO & CO carried out risk analyses in all business areas as part of the ongoing development of its HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) System. It has implemented group-wide hygienic guidelines to control and minimize risks based on these analyses. An internationally active quality control team constantly monitors the effectiveness of these actions and further develops them in accordance with the latest international findings.
Personnel Risks
For DO & CO, the biggest asset it has are its employees and the corporate culture into which they breathe life. The employees are the most crucial factor in DO & CO's success. The future development of DO & CO therefore depends on how effective it is in hiring and integrating highly skilled and motivated employees and in forging lasting bonds of loyalty between them and the company. Professional training and consistent personnel development are central tools for achieving the desired growth.
The ongoing expansion of the DO & CO Group is accompanied by a mirror drive to enlarge its management resources.
The professional and profitable integration of new company units will be a major challenge for the continued success of DO & CO. Shared values and a vital corporate culture help our new employees to understand the high quality standards to which we aspire in our product and in our personal service and assist us in anchoring those standards permanently in the company.
Legal Risks
With its constant expansion and its global scope of business, DO & CO has to abide by a myriad of legal requirements at national and international level, especially in relation to food law, hygiene, waste management, human resources and taxes, as well as special guidelines and regulations issued by various airlines. The company needs to rapidly respond to any changes in legal regimes and to integrate them in its business processes.
Non-compliance with legal regulations and contractual agreements may give rise to claims for damages that can put a heavy burden on the company. The Group has set up a central legal department to counter this risk. Specific insurance policies are taken out throughout the Group as the main means of minimizing liability risks from damage that has proven unpreventable despite damage avoidance efforts.
Foreign Currency Risks
DO & CO is highly vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations due to the international nature of its business segments. The major foreign currencies involved are TRY, USD 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 with the same maturity. The Group is also attentive about excluding additional risks to the greatest possible extent by entering into appropriate contractual agreements with customers and suppliers.
If need be, financial instruments and derivatives are employed to control currency risks. No derivatives were in use at the reporting date.
Liquidity Risks
Precise financial planning updated daily is the key to controlling liquidity and to avoiding liquidity risk. If expansion and other projects are undertaken, a meticulous analysis of their impact on Group liquidity must be conducted.
All Austrian DO & CO companies are integrated in a single cash-pooling system so that liquidity can be controlled centrally.
Deviations from financial plans are detected immediately thanks to regular and prompt financial reporting. This approach ensures that counter-measures can be initiated quickly.
The liquidity risk of the DO & CO Group is limited by virtue of its low level of debt. Current liquidity needs can be met by available cash and cash equivalents and by financial facilities granted by banks.
Credit Risks
DO & CO keeps the credit risk to a minimum by closely monitoring outstanding debts as part of receivables management. The outstanding items of all legal entities are reported weekly. That means the Group monitors customer credit risks promptly and is able to respond quickly if the situation changes.
It also takes proactive steps to control credit risk associated with major customers by entering into pertinent 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 credit risks are expected from the other original financial instruments.
Interest Risks
Financing is done at usual market conditions, with maturities always matching those of the financed projects. The effects of a change in interest rates are monitored in sensitivity analyses conducted twice a year. The Group does not currently face any material risk from interest rate fluctuations.
In sum, DO & CO is confident it can manage and offset its risks with the risk management system it has put in place.
These risks do not impair the continued successful existence of the Group.
The Notes contain additional details on currency, liquidity, credit- and interest risk (Item 4 Accounts receivable and Item 23 Financial instruments).
5. Report on Essential Features of the Internal Control and Risk Management System in Connection with the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Management Board meets its responsibility for organizing an internal control system and risk management system for accounting and for legal compliance. The internal control system for accounting ensures that financial information and data processing systems are complete and reliable. The system likewise ensures that business facts are recorded, compiled, processed and entered in the accounts in accordance with proper financial procedures. The objective of the internal control system is to guarantee effective and constantly improving internal controls for accounting and thus to ensure financial statements that comply with the regulations. This system also ensures that the processes are appropriate and efficient and that all regulations (legal and otherwise) are obeyed.
The responsibilities for the internal control system were adapted to the organizational structure of the company to ensure an environment for control activities that corresponds to and meets the requirements. The central functions Group Accounting and Group Controlling are responsible for drawing up uniform Group guidelines and for organizing and monitoring financial reporting in the Group.
Compliance with the processes for recording, making account entries and balancing the accounts for transactions is regularly monitored as part of appropriate organizational actions. All monitoring actions apply to the entire business process. Monitoring can constitute anything from management examining results for various periods to transferring accounts in specific ways and analyzing ongoing processes in accounting. Areas connected with the accounting process are given suitable qualitative and quantitative resources.
The data processing systems are efficiently refined and constantly optimized. Close attention is paid to IT security in this context. With respect to the financial systems used, pertinent authorization arrangements are employed to protect access to corporate data. Restrictive authorization allows sensitive activities to be separated from non-sensitive ones.
Suitable personnel resources, the use of adequate software and clear legal specifications form the basis for a proper, uniform and continuous accounting process.
Comprehensive financial reports are given regularly and promptly to the Supervisory Board and Management Board and to middle management.
The accounting process and financial report are systematically examined for impossible risks and regularly evaluated by the Corporate Risk Manager. If a need arises, action to optimize the situation is launched and carried out quickly to counter any risks as effectively as possible.
6. Sales
In its 2011/2012 business year, the DO & CO Group recorded sales of EUR 466.35m, an increase of 9.5% or EUR 40.29m over the previous business year.

Sales at Airline Catering division rose by EUR 22.63m in the business year 2011/2012, growing from EUR 327.18m to EUR 349.81m despite the market's difficult conditions. The division contributed 75.0% (PY: 76.8%) to Group sales.
Sales growth for the Airline Catering division was particularly strong at the Turkish and other international locations.
Turkish DO & CO, a 50:50 joint venture between DO & CO and Turkish Airlines in Turkey, continued to expand its business activities in the 2011/2012 business year, growing in terms of both volume and sales. However, the collapse of the TRY against the EUR offset the increase in sales in the Group's income statement. The expansion was driven by third-party customers and the main customer Turkish Airlines. Higher sales at Turkish Airlines were achieved by an expansion of its fleet for medium- to long-range destinations. The major new customer acquired in Turkey during the 2011/2012 business year was Air Berlin Turkey, a cooperation between Air Berlin and Pegasus Airlines. Other new additions for Turkish DO & CO in this business year were Odeon, Windrose Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Hainan Airlines.
DO & CO's locations at New York, London, Frankfurt, Munich and Milan managed excellent performances during business year 2011/2012. In New York, DO & CO won a tender by Asiana Airlines for a daily long-range flight to Seoul. Sales were also substantially boosted with its existing premium customers Emirates Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Turkish Airlines and South African Airways. The London Heathrow location similarly increased its sales, both by raising the volume with existing customers such as Emirates Airlines and by acquiring Jet Airways as a new customer. During the 2011/2012 business year, DO & CO started operations at the German airport of Düsseldorf, where it caters for Turkish Airlines and Etihad Airways. Its locations at Munich and Frankfurt reported substantial growth rates in sales thanks to new customers as well as an increase in their business volume with existing customers. The Frankfurt location acquired Kuwait Airways as a notable new customer. DO & CO Italy at Milan's Malpensa also continued the strong pace of growth begun in previous years, winning Oman Air as a new customer. The Airline Catering locations in Austria also reported satisfactory growth rates in 2011/2012.
Sales in the International Event Catering division rose by 25.5% from EUR 36.65m to EUR 46.01m in 2011/2012, contributing 9.9% (PY: 8.6%) to the Group's overall sales.
The Major Events segment once again handled numerous large-scale sporting events where DO & CO has long become the established culinary caterer.
A key feature of this segment is the Formula 1 races, handled by DO & CO for the 20th series in a row. In the 2011/2012 business year, DO & CO provided culinary delights at 17 Formula 1 grand prix races in 15 countries.
Two particular highlights were scheduled in May 2011: the ATP Tennis Masters in Madrid with more than 30,000 VIP guests, and the UEFA Champions League final at London's Wembley stadium with more than 7,000 VIP guests. In the summer of 2011, the Event Catering division gave its full attention to the VIP guests at the traditional CHIO equestrian event at Aachen and the beach volleyball tournament at Klagenfurt. In addition to the classic winter events, such as the Hahnenkamm ski race at Kitzbühel, the segment handled the catering for the final draw of the UEFA EURO 2012 tournament held in Kiev in December.
The Classic Events segment can similarly look back on a satisfactory business year. DO & CO operated as a premium caterer to many events in the economic, political and sports scenes, and achieved further growth in its sales.
Sales figures for the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division were EUR 70.54m in the 2011/2012 business year, or 13.3% higher than the previous year's level of EUR 62.24m. The division contributed 15.1% to overall Group sales (PY: 14.6%).
The year's fastest growth rates were found in the Lounge segment. A primary factor was the new Turkish Airlines Lounge opened at the Istanbul Atatürk airport during the 2011/2012 business year. Another contributor was the Emirates Lounge at London Heathrow, which was included in all four quarters of the business year for the first time.
The Restaurant segment also achieved satisfactory growth in 2011/2012, particularly with its restaurants in Vienna performing particularly well.
The Retail segment, "Henry – the art of living", was included in the full annual Group sales figures for the first time, and substantially contributed to the division's growth.
The DO & CO Hotel reported good performance in the 2011/2012 business year, during which increased revenues from accommodation contributed to a healthy growth in sales.
The Demel Cafés once again managed to ring up satisfactory sales.
7. Earnings
Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the DO & CO Group totalled EUR 32.40m for the 2011/2012 business year, higher by EUR 4.08m than in the previous year. The EBIT margin increased from 6.6% in the previous business year to 6.9% in 2011/2012. EBITDA for the DO & CO Group was EUR 51.52m, an increase of EUR 5.68m over the previous year.

Costs of materials and services as a proportion to sales declined from 41.7% in the previous year to 41.5%. In absolute terms, expenditure on materials rose by EUR 15.91m (+9.0%) against a sales growth rate of +9.5%.
Personnel expenses as a proportion of sales made up 32.0% in the business year 2011/2012 (PY: 31.9%), rising from EUR 136.11m to EUR 149.45m.
Depreciation/amortization and impairment amounted to EUR 19.12m, an increase of EUR 1.60m over the previous year's level of EUR 17.52m. In all three divisions intangible and fixed assets were impaired.
Other operating expenses grew by EUR 7.17m or 9.4%.
The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of pre-tax income) was 25.6% in the 2011/2012 business year compared to 27.4% in the previous year.
For the overall business year 2011/2012, the Group achieved a consolidated result of EUR 19.33m, an increase of EUR 3.90m or 25.3% over the previous year. Earnings per share were thus EUR 1.98 or 7.0% higher than in the previous year (PY: EUR 1.85).
8. Balance Sheet
Short-term assets increased by EUR 31.13m from the previous balance sheet date of 31 March 2011, due mostly to a rise in other short-term receivables and assets. This was a result of incorporating escrow accounts associated with the acquisition of the shares in Kyiv Catering LLC, the take-over of assets to be used for the catering at Austrian Railways and a diversification into short-term assets to guard against inflation, credit- and foreign currency risks.
Consolidated equity (adjusted for designated dividend payments and goodwill book values) recorded a rise of EUR 18.06m, from EUR 143.58m as of 31 March 2011 to EUR 161.64m on 31 March 2012.
The equity ratio (after adjustment for designated dividend payments and goodwill book values) stood at 56.8% (vs. 57.8% on 31 March 2011).
Short-term liabilities showed a sharp rise of EUR 15.79m to EUR 100.29m over the year due largely to down payments received for handling the UEFA's EURO 2012 and an expansion of the Group's business activities.
9. Cash Flow
At EUR 55.25m, the cash flow from result was higher by EUR 6.88m than in the previous year, the result mainly of the substantially better performance in the periode. Due to changes in current assets compared to the previous year and higher tax payments, cash flow from operating activities was lower at EUR 45.67m (PY: EUR 57.67m).
The cash flow from investments amounted to EUR –62.55m (PY: EUR –15.96m), with the change accounted for mostly by investments in subsidiaries and the diversification, carried out in the second quarter of the 2011/2012 business year, into short-term assets to guard against inflation, credit- and foreign currency risks.
The cash flow from financing activities totalled EUR –5.51m (PY: EUR 39.22m).
10. Employees
The average number of employees increased from 3,794 to 4,166 year-on-year. This rise was due mostly to an expansion of business in Turkey, Austria and the US.
11. Airline Catering
Having established a unique, innovative and competitive product portfolio, the Airline Catering division contributes the largest share to the overall sales of the DO & CO Group.
On a global scale, the DO & CO gourmet kitchens in New York, London, Frankfurt, Munich, Milan, Malta, Salzburg, Vienna, Linz, Graz and at nine further locations in Turkey are setting new standards in the premium segment of the airline catering business.
DO & CO has built up a customer portfolio consisting of more than 60 airlines. This clientele includes important domestic customers such as the Austrian Airlines Group and NIKI as well as a number of renowned international airlines such as Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Oman Air, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, South African Airways, Jet Airways, Iberia, Air France and Asiana Airlines.

The airline industry remained volatile during all of the 2011/2012 business year. Yet in spite of the difficult market environment, DO & CO managed to maintain its excellent position and gain many new customers.
Below a short description is given of benchmark developments at the Airline Catering division in Turkey, other international locations and Austria:
Turkish DO & CO, a 50:50 joint venture between DO & CO and Turkish Airlines in Turkey, continued to expand its business activities in the 2011/2012 business year, growing in terms of quantity, sales and profits, although the latter two were offset by the collapse of the TRY relative to EUR. Its nine locations – Istanbul Atatürk, Istanbul Sabiha Gökcen, Ankara, Antalya, Izmir, Bodrum, Adana, Trabzon and Dalaman – produced almost 45 million meals.
The expansion of business activities was driven by third-party customers and Turkish Airlines, the company's main customer.
Growth at Turkish Airlines was driven by an expansion of their fleet for medium- to long-range destinations. As an added feature, more than 160 "DO & CO Flying Chefs" pamper business class passengers on all Turkish Airlines long-distance flights. Thus customer satisfaction among Turkish Airlines passengers was maintained at the previous year's high level.
Business with third-party customers also did very well in 2011/2012. New additions in Turkey were, inter alia, Odeon, Windrose Airlines and Air Berlin Turkey. For Air Berlin Turkey (a cooperation of Air Berlin and Pegasus Airlines), Turkish DO & CO will cater for about 32 weekly charter flights between Antalya and Germany during the peak season.
DO & CO locations in New York, London, Frankfurt, Munich and Milan also reported strong satisfactory sales growth during 2011/2012.
In New York, DO & CO won a tender by Asiana Airlines for the daily long-distance flight to Seoul. Sales figures were also substantially higher with our existing premium customers Emirates Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Turkish Airlines and South African Airways. Responding to strong customer demand at John F. Kennedy Airport, expansion works began in 2011/2012. In future the existing unit will be used as a gourmet kitchen only. In order to handle all logistical activities, construction of a logistics center has begun. Scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2012/2013, it will boost the location's capacity by 100%.
The division's location at London Heathrow can similarly look back on a good performance: in addition to expanding its business volume with existing customers such as Emirates Airlines, it gained Jet Airways as a new customer.
During the 2011/2012 business year, DO & CO started operations at the German airport of Düsseldorf, where it caters for Turkish Airlines and Etihad Airways. For the latter, it supplies catering services for four weekly long-distance flights to Abu Dhabi. With this new acquisition, the premium carrier Etihad Airways is now served by three DO & CO locations in Germany. Its locations at Munich and Frankfurt also reported substantial sales growth rates thanks to new customers as well as higher business volumes from existing customers. The Frankfurt location acquired Kuwait Airways as a new customer. As in New York, the capacity at the Frankfurt unit was increased by about 30% by renting addition space, in order to cope with substantially increased demand.
DO & CO Italy also continued the pace of sales growth begun in previous years, acquiring Oman Air as a new customer.
The Airline Catering locations in Austria reported good growth rates in 2011/2012. Apart from their main customer, Austrian Airlines, NIKI and Emirates Airlines contributed to the growth figures in Austria. Towards the end of the business year, austerity programs were designed and launched for Austrian Airlines and NIKI at their own request.
Strategy pursued by DO & CO
- Strengthening the division's position as "the" supplier in the premium airline catering segment
- A unique, innovative and competitive product portfolio that offers customers an opportunity for distinction
- Long-term sustainable partnerships with its customers
- One-stop supplier of airline catering services
Outlook for the 2012/2013 business year
- Increasing capacities by expanding the units at New York's JFK and Frankfurt
- Participation in tenders and acquisition of more customers at all locations
Competitive edge for DO & CO
- "The" airline caterer in the premium segment
- Product creativity and innovation in its core and ancillary segments
- Supplier of one-stop solutions for its customers
12. International Event Catering
The International Event Catering division performed exceptionally well during all of 2011/2012. With annual sales of EUR 46.01m (PY: EUR 36.65m), it achieved an increase of 25.5%.
For the 2011/2012 business year, the division reported an EBITDA of EUR 5.53m, an improvement from EUR 4.32m in the previous year. The EBITDA margin increased from 11.8% to 12.0%. EBIT rose from EUR 3.27m to EUR 4.18m, and the EBIT margin also improved from the previous year (9.1% vs 8.9%).

The International Event Catering division is comprised of two segments: Major Events and Classic Events.
The Major Events segment once again covered numerous premier sporting events which DO & CO has been catering for many years.
Foremost among these events is Formula 1, for which DO & CO has been catering for 20 seasons. In the 2011/2012 business year, DO & CO did the catering at 17 Formula 1 grand prix races in 15 countries. Special highlights were the very first Formula 1 GP in New Delhi and the GP in Abu Dhabi VIP guests.
In May, DO & CO handled two major sporting events. Madrid is the annual venue of the tennis tournament for the ATP Tennis Masters series. Once again, the international DO & CO event team provided the catering for some 30,000 VIP guests and the tennis players. At the end of May, London served as the venue for the UEFA Champions League final. At the historic Wembley Stadium, DO & CO acted as the culinary host for over 7,000 VIP guests.
Summer was launched with the annual CHIO show jumping event in Aachen, where DO & CO ensures year after year that the exclusive clientele will be properly spoiled in culinary terms. The high point of the summer was once again the beach volleyball grand slam at Klagenfurt, where more than 5,200 guests assembled over four days to enjoy the superior services of DO & CO catering.
Within the scope of preparations for its hospitality services to be rendered for UEFA EURO 2012, the final draw for the groups participating in the championship took place in Kiev in December 2011. The very positive feedback achieved by DO & CO for its first assignment in Ukraine reflected the company's intense preparatory work for this important event, which is scheduled to take place in Poland and Ukraine in June/July 2012.
In January 2012, the winter series reached its climax once again at the Hahnenkamm race at Kitzbühel. Year after year, celebrities from many countries flock to the temporary quarters in which DO & CO provides a unique ambience and superb catering.
The Classic Events segment also enjoyed a satisfactory year. DO & CO operated as a premium caterer to many events in the economic, political and sports scenes, and achieved further growth in its sales.
Last summer, the Rathausplatz adjacent to Vienna City Hall was once again the venue of the annual film festival. DO & CO is responsible for planning, organization, setup and gastronomic logistics of the attendant gourmet food market which is Europe's largest foodie event, handling 22 gastronomic operations and many business partners to make sure that everything would run on its smooth time-tested course.
In the UK, the 2011/2012 business year was used to strengthen the partnership with Fortnum & Mason and to acquire a new event. From 2012/2013, DO & CO will handle the culinary side not just of the Tatton Flower Show but also cater for the Chelsea Flower Show.
Strategy pursued by DO & CO
- Expanding our core competence from a premium caterer to a "general contractor for gourmet entertainment"
- Strengthening the premium event brand established by DO & CO
- Establishing ourselves as a strong and reliable partner
Outlook for the 2012/2013 business year
- UEFA EURO 2012 in Poland and Ukraine

- Increasing cooperation with Fortnum & Mason: Tatton Flower Show and Chelsea Flower Show
Competitive edge of DO & CO
- "One stop partner"
- Unique premium product distinct and unequalled
- Maximum reliability, flexibility and a strong focus on quality have turned DO & CO into a "no headache" partner that is always ready to serve its customers
- An international and dynamic lead team that is experienced in the premium segment

The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division consists of the following segments: Restaurants, Lounges, Hotel, Demel, Staff Restaurants and Retail.
The Restaurant segment reported satisfying sales growth for the 2011/2012 business year. As in previous years, much of the growth is credited to DO & CO restaurants in Vienna.
The year's fastest growing segment within the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division was the Lounges segment. The main contributor to the impressive Lounge segment growth was the stylish and highly acclaimed Turkish Airlines Lounge at the Istanbul Atatürk Airport, which opened during this business year. DO & CO was responsible for designing and furnishing of the lounge, in addition to handling the catering for more than 500,000 passengers going forward in this business year. Another performance booster was the Emirates Lounge at London Heathrow, which was included in all four quarters of the business year for the first time. Altogether, the DO & CO lounges, which include the Austrian Airlines lounges in Vienna, Lufthansa lounges in Frankfurt and New York, Emirates lounges in New York and London Heathrow, and the Turkish Airlines lounges in Istanbul, Adana, Trabzon, Dalaman and Bodrum, provided gastronomic delights to more than 1.6 million passengers in the 2011/2012 business year.
The DO & CO Hotel in Vienna reported good performance in the 2011/2012 business year. Increased revenues from accommodation contributed to a healthy growth in sales.
The Demel Cafés, especially the Kohlmarkt location in Vienna once again performed at a satisfactory level. The Salzburg location was closed as a café in March 2012 and is now planned to be used only as an event location.
The Retail segment "Henry – the art of living" similarly helped increase the division's substantial growth rates. The concept of healthy and fresh "to go" products prepared by the in-house gourmet kitchen was enthusiastically embraced by the customers.

Stock market overview

15. Outlook
Towards the end of the Company's business year of 2011/2012, a dose of optimism was reinjected into the economy. The course of intervention taken by the European Central Bank further mitigated volatility and tension, especially in Europe.
The Airline Catering division will concentrate its sales activities at DO & CO locations on strengthening and extending its ties to existing customers as well as on acquiring new customers.
In Turkey, DO & CO's positioning as a one-stop supplier of airline catering services is being proven to be the right strategy for success. The extensive scope of services, ranging from classic catering and handling to global equipment and beverage management, a modern cabin crew training center and the deployment of more than 160 "DO & CO Flying Chefs" for Turkish Airlines provide the broad and sound foundation for the Company's further expansion in the Turkish market.
DO & CO recently completed an acquisition of a 51% stake in the largest airline catering business in Ukraine. Holding a 60% share of the market, Kiev based Kyiv Catering LLC is the marketing leader in the airline catering business in the region, employing more than 500 staff. At present, its portfolio of customers includes over 20 airlines. In the medium term, DO & CO envisages to achieve its growth in Ukraine not just through airline catering but also by introducing Vienna coffeehouse culture, gourmet shops and event catering. Currently, a new gourmet kitchen is being set up at the Kyiv Borispol International Airport, which is scheduled to become operational in the first half of 2012. The acquisition was approved by the Ukraine competition authorities in April 2012. Kyiv Catering LLC will be included in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the first time in the first quarter of the 2012/2013 business year.
Towards the end of the 2011/2012 business year, austerity programs were designed and launched for Austrian Airlines and NIKI at their requests.
For the International Event Catering division, work in the first quarter of 2012/2013 will concentrate on preparing and implementing the hospitality programs for the UEFA EURO 2012. From 8 June to 1 July 2012, VIP guests will enjoy our culinary attractions at eight stadiums in Poland and Ukraine. Within this project, DO & CO operates as the hospitality production manager and as such is responsible for the entire infrastructure such as tents, furnishings, decorations and other services that include entertainment, event hostesses, security and cleaning staff.
In addition to the UEFA EURO 2012, the International Event Catering division has many other great international events on its schedule. In the first quarter of the 2012/2013, DO & CO will serve VIP guests at the ATP Masters in Madrid and at the Champions League final in Munich. Spread over the entire business year, DO & CO is set to organize, for the 21st season in a row, the exclusive Paddock Club at the Formula 1 grand prix races.
The Restaurants, Lounges and Hotel division projects healthy growth in the 2012/2013 business year. In January 2012, DO & CO was awarded the catering contract for all long-distance trains run by Austrian Railways (ÖBB). For the DO & CO Group this is a vital strategic step into a new market segment. Starting on 1 April 2012, DO & CO will provide catering for 160 trains per day and up to 30 million passengers per year. DO & CO's new, quality-focused concept will be implemented step by step in several phases.
The opening of the Skylink terminal at Vienna Airport offers DO & CO expansion opportunities for its Retail, Demel and Lounges segments. On 5 June 2012, DO & CO will launch another "Henry – the art of living" shop and a Demel Café at the newly opened Skylink. In addition, DO & CO has won the contract to service four lounges owned by the Vienna International Airport.
Turkey's Bodrum Airport also opens up opportunities for expansion for DO & CO. Beginning in May 2012, DO & CO will handle the entire airport gastronomy at the new international terminal, thereby taking a strategic step towards venturing into a new segment. DO & CO will operate two more "Henry – the art of living" shops, a staff restaurant and many other outlets at this venue.
The retail segment plans to open three more "Henry – the art of living" units in Vienna in 2012/2013, thereby increasing to seven the total number of locations by the end of the 2012/2013 business year.
In addition, DO & CO continues to push forward with the plan for, and construction of, its hotel in Istanbul. The second DO & CO hotel is scheduled to open in late 2013.
DO & CO maintains its strategic focus on carefully evaluating on an ongoing basis potential acquisition targets in various markets covered by its Airline Catering, Restaurants and Retail segments.
Overall, the DO & CO management is confident that it can continue its successful performance of the previous years. A focus on innovation, superior product and service standards and well trained and committed staff provide underpinnings for DO & CO to take full advantage of all growth potentials.

In the 2011/2012 business year, the Supervisory Board performed all the responsibilities accrued to it under the law and Articles of Association within the scope of four meetings. Its discussions focused on consulting on the strategic direction to be taken by the Company and the acquisition of investments, expansion of the distribution network and development of new business fields. The chairmen of the Supervisory Board and Management Board regularly met to discuss key issues of the Company's development.
Independence
The Supervisory Board of DO & CO has no members who have either been former Management Board members or senior officers of the Company; similarly there are no interlocking directorates. Existing business relations to companies in which supervisory board members of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG are active are handled at third-party conditions (see also the report on remuneration).
Adhering to Rules 39, 53, 54 and Annex 1 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, the Supervisory Board in its meeting of 14 February 2007 adopted the following criteria for assessing the independence of its members and committee members:
A member of the Supervisory Board shall be deemed independent if said member does not have any business or personal relations with the Company or its Management Board that constitute a material conflict of interests and are therefore suited to influence the member's conduct.
Further criteria for the assessment of the independence of a member of the Supervisory Board:
-
The Supervisory Board member has not been a member of Management Board or senior officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the past five years.
-
The Supervisory Board member has no current business relationship nor has had any business relationship within the last year to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of an extent that is important for such Supervisory Board member. This also applies to business relationships with companies in which the Supervisory Board member has a considerable economic interest. Approval of any individual business matters by the Supervisory Board member in line with L Rule 48 does not automatically cause him/her to be qualified as non-independent.
-
For the past three years, the Supervisory Board member has not been an auditor of the Company or stakeholder or employee of the company auditing DO & CO.
-
The Supervisory Board member is not a management board member of another company in which a Management Board member of the Company serves as a supervisory board member.
-
The Supervisory Board member is no direct family member (direct descendant, spouse, domestic partner, parent, uncle, aunt, sibling, niece, nephew) of a Management Board member or of any person who is in any one of the positions described above.
The members of the Supervisory Board each declare that they are independent within the meaning of the above criteria.

4. Remuneration report
The remuneration report summarizes the principles applied to determining the remuneration for the Management Board and Supervisory Board of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG.
Remuneration of the Management Board
The total pay is divided into fixed and performance-linked components. The fixed component is geared to the tasks and areas of responsibility of the members and paid out retroactively in 14 monthly payments. Another main element of Management Board compensation is a highly variable component based on their scope of tasks and responsibilities and on the Company's performance. This performance-linked component is geared to the EBIT margin following goodwill amortization and is capped at 100% of the fixed pay.
In the past business year of 2011/2012, the Management Board members received a fixed salary of TEUR 630, of which about TEUR 369 was paid to Attila Dogudan and about TEUR 261 to Michael Dobersberger. The variable components for the 2010/2011 business year amounted to TEUR 490 of which TEUR 280 was paid to Mr Dogudan and TEUR 105 to Mr Dobersberger. In addition, a special bonus of TEUR 105 was paid to Mr Michael Dobersberger for the 2010/2011 business year.
Currently, no arrangement has yet been made regarding any in-house retirement provision for the Management Board. The members of the Management Board are entitled to severance pay analogously to the Salaried Employees Act, but have no further claims in the event that they retire from their office. Furthermore, no arrangements have so far been made in the event of a change of control.
Remuneration of the Supervisory Board
The remuneration scheme for the Supervisory Board provides that the Chairman's remuneration is 60% more than that of a member of the Supervisory Board and that the Deputy Chairman's remuneration is 40% higher than that of a member of the Supervisory Board.
In accordance with a resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders of 7 July 2011 applying to the 2010/2011 business year, a remuneration totaling TEUR 55 (PY: TEUR 50) was paid to the Supervisory Board members, of which TEUR 17,5 was paid to the Chairman, TEUR 15,5 to the Deputy Chairman and TEUR 11 each to the members of the Supervisory Board.
Firms in which Supervisory Board members Waldemar JUD and Werner SPORN have a considerable economic interest charged professional fees of TEUR 544 in the 2011/2012 business year for legal counsel given outside their officer's function.
In addition, DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG has taken out a consequential loss and liability insurance (D&O insurance) whose beneficiaries are the Company's officers. Its cost is assumed by the Company.
5. Measures to promote women to the Management Board, Supervisory Board and in executive positions
The Company puts considerable emphasis on ensuring equal treatment of men and women in posting candidates to executive positions and paying equal wages and salaries. Management positions at DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG and its subsidiaries are appointed without consideration of gender, with the result that the Group boasts a high share of women in executive positions within the companies and in a senior executive capacity at Group level.
Of particular note is the Company's position in creating an appropriate framework for returning women into senior management positions after maternity and parental leave. A number of part-time models allow women to re-enter their original management positions and continue to serve in an executive position.

Report of the Supervisory Board
The Management Board of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft regularly informed the members of the Supervisory Board in writing and orally in meetings and outside meetings about the progress of business and the situation of the Company as well as material business events. Based on the reports and information from the Management Board, the Supervisory Board monitored the management and deliberated thoroughly on business occurrences of special significance in open discussions.
The Supervisory Board performed its duties under the law and the Articles of Association in four meetings in the 2011/2012 business year. These meetings focused on deliberations regarding the Company's basic strategy, acquisition of stakes, extension of the distribution network and the establishment of new business fields. Beyond that, the chairmen of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board regularly consulted on material issues of the Company's development.
At its meeting on 15 May 2012, the Audit Committee examined the financial statements of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft and the preparation of its approval, the proposal for the appropriation of profit, the Management Report, the Corporate Governance Report and the consolidated financial statements, and thoroughly deliberated on the Management Letter. Further it suggested selecting PKF CENTURION Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH as auditor of the financial statements for the company and the group for 2012/2013.
The Audit Committee met twice in the 2011/2012 business year and also monitored the accounting process, the implementation of steps to optimize the internal control system as well as the functionality of the risk management system and the internal audit system. The Executive Committee met once in its capacity as remuneration committee, reviewing the Company's remuneration policy and, in this context, considering the granting of variable salary components to members of the Management Board.
The annual financial statements plus notes of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft as of 31 March 2012 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 2011/2012. They are thus adopted in accordance with § 96 (4) of the Austrian Corporation Act (AktG).
The consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2012 plus notes were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applied in the EU 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 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the business year 2011/2012 in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applied in the EU. The Supervisory Board concurred with the findings of the audit.
Furthermore, the Supervisory Board examined the proposal from the Management Board for the appropriation of profit of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering Aktiengesellschaft. A proposal will be made to the General Meeting of Shareholders on 5 July 2012 to distribute the entire net profit of EUR 4,384,800.00 for a dividend payout of EUR 0.45 on each share entitled to a dividend.
The compliance review within the scope of the corporate governance report as provided in Section 243b UGB (Business Enterprise Code) was carried out by Dr. Ullrich Saurer, lawyer in Graz, and found that DO & CO has complied with the rules of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code in its 2011/2012 business year.
The Supervisory Board proposes to appoint PKF CENTURION Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH as the auditor of the (annual and Group) financial statements for the 2012/2013 business year.
The Supervisory Board wishes to thank the Company's management and staff members for their dedicated work in a still very challenging economic environment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2011/2012
In application of § 245a of the Austrian Business Enterprise Code (UGB), the consolidated financial statements of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG as of 31 March 2012 were prepared in conformity with the provisions of the pertinent guidelines of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in force on the reporting date and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as they are to be applied in the European Union (EU).
1. General Information
1.1. Principles
1.1.1. General
DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG is an international catering group with headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It conducts business in three segments: Airline Catering, International Event Catering, and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel.
The annual and (interim) financial statements of all domestic and foreign companies included in full in the consolidated accounts, to the extent that they have not been subject to auditing under national regulations or are immaterial to presenting a fair picture of the assets, earnings and financial situation of the Group, were audited by independent auditors who issued unqualified opinions on them in each case. The annual and (interim) financial statements of all subsidiaries included here were properly prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid for the business year 2011/2012 as applied in the EU and in application of the parent's standard group-wide accounting and valuation principles.
The consolidated financial statements conform to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid for the 2011/2012 business year, as applicable in the European Union (EU).
1.1.2. Effects of New and Modified Standards
New standards enacted by the IASB are applied from the date they take effect as long as they have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union by 31 March 2012 and are in force by that date.
The rules of IAS 24 revised (related party disclosure), applicable as of the 2011/2012 business year, refer to subjects unrelated to the DO & CO Group.
The rules of IFRIC 19 (extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments), effective as of the 2011/2012 business year, and amendments to IFRIC 14 (limit on a defined benefit asset) all cover subjects unrelated to the DO & CO Group.
The impact on the Group reporting of IFRS 7 (disclosures – transfer of financial assets) applied for the first time refer to subjects unrelated to the DO & CO Group.
1.2. Consolidation Principles
1.2.1. 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, 26 domestic and 25 foreign subsidiaries were included in the consolidated accounts as of 31 March 2012 in addition to 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 that is included in full in the consolidation accounts. One foreign company in which the Group has a 50% stake is fully consolidated because the stake constitutes a controlling interest.
One foreign company in which the company has an indirect stake of 50% and which is jointly managed (associated company) was included at equity in the consolidated accounts, as were two further foreign companies, in each of which DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG indirectly holds a 40% stake, and a domestic company in which it indirectly holds a 49% stake.
In a change from 31 March 2011, the scope of consolidation (including DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG) was increased by the following businesses:
- DO & CO Procurement GmbH
- DO & CO Gourmet Kitchen Cold GmbH
- DO & CO Gourmet Kitchen Hot GmbH
- DO & CO Pastry GmbH
- DO & CO Airline Logistics GmbH
- DO & CO Facility Management GmbH
- DO & CO Special Hospitality Services GmbH
- DO & CO Hospitality Management Poland Sp. z o.o.
- DO & CO Events Poland Sp. z o.o.
- DO & CO Ukraine Limited Liability Company
The two Polish companies were founded in the third quarter, the Ukrainian company was founded in the last quarter and all other companies reach back to the second quarter of the business year. All of these businesses were included in the consolidated financial statements by way of full consolidation as of 31 March 2012.
This extension of the scope of consolidation does not materially affect the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 March 2012 nor the Group income statement for the 2011/2012 business year.
1.2.2. 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 nearest reporting date 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 acquisition 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 impairment 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 nationwide valuation methods were either retained or no adjustment was made if the effects on the annual profit/loss included proportionally in the consolidated financial statements were immaterial.
Loans, receivables and payables between companies included in the consolidated accounts were offset against each other in the course of debt consolidation. Moreover, sales revenues and other income (largely 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.
1.2.3. Business Segments
DO & CO manages business according to divisional criteria. Based on the internal reporting structure, DO & CO makes a distinction between the divisions Airline Catering, International Event Catering, and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel. The division into business segments and the presentation of segmental business results is presented in accordance with IFRS 8 (management approach). It follows the internal reports to the Management Board as the key operating decision maker determining the allocation of resources among the business segments.
DO & CO has customers who account for more than 10% of consolidated sales each. Sales with these customers are contained in all divisions and together amount to less than half of total sales.
1.2.4. Currency Translation
The 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 the foreign companies, with the exception of two British companies, is the national currency of their country of registration since the subsidiaries are financially, economically and organizationally independent in their conduct of business.
The financial statements of nine foreign subsidiaries with registered offices outside the Community Territory of the Member States of the European Union and each with two subsidiaries with registered offices in the United Kingdom and Poland 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 2012. Income and expenses on the income statement were translated at the year 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. Positive translation differences of TEUR 1,888 were recognized in equity in the current year with no effect on 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 "translation adjustments".
Non-realized translation adjustments in conjunction with monetary items economically allocable to a share in an associated company, particularly borrowings under company loans issued to Turkish, British and American subsidiaries, were recognized with no effect on profit or loss in an adjustment item from currency translation and offset in shareholders' equity.
The exchange rates applied in currency conversion for significant currencies developed as follows:
| Reporting Date Rate | Cum. Average Rate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| in EUR | 31 Mar 2012 | 31 Mar 2011 | 31 Mar 2012 | 31 Mar 2011 | |
| 1 US Dollar | 0.750807 | 0.703878 | 0.724851 | 0.755327 | |
| 1 British Pound | 1.203297 | 1.131606 | 1.159314 | 1.174700 | |
| 1 Turkish Lira | 0.420875 | 0.455643 | 0.418322 | 0.493723 | |
| 1 Swiss Franc | 0.830289 | 0.768935 | 0.826914 | 0.753304 | |
| 1 Polish Zloty | 0.240315 | - | 0.239152 | - | |
| 1 Ukrainian Hryvnia | 0.092415 | - | 0.090941 | - |
1.3. Accounting and Valuation Principles
The accounting and valuation principles were the same as those applied in the previous year's consolidated financial statements.
Intangible Fixed Assets
Acquired intangible assets are shown at the cost of acquisition less scheduled amortization.
Intangible fixed assets with a calculable service life are recognized at acquisition cost and subject to scheduled straight-line amortization over their economic service life. If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and if its recoverable amount (the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use) is less than the book value, then an impairment loss will be recognized in accordance with IAS 36.
The acquisition cost of goodwill obtained in connection with company acquisitions is 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 not subject to scheduled amortization but tested for impairment loss based on the amount recoverable for the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated ("impairment-only approach"). A cash-generating unit is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. This impairment test is conducted annually or whenever there are signs that the cash-generating unit is impaired. If the book value of the cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount for the unit, then goodwill must be reduced by the difference. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not permitted to be reversed in subsequent years when the reason for it is eliminated. If the impairment loss of the cash-generating unit exceeds the book value of the goodwill allocated to that unit, the excess amount of the loss is recognized through proportional reduction of the book values of the assets allocated to the cashgenerating unit.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is determined by calculating its value in use according to the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. This calculation is based on financial plans for five years approved by the management and a perpetuity. The discount factors are geared to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). A WACC of 8% was applied for the 2011/2012 business year.
When subsidiaries are sold, the goodwill allocable to them is proportionally written off in a manner affecting profit and loss.
The differences from capital consolidation carried forward as of 31 March 2012 was as follows:
| in TEUR | 31 Mar 2012 | 31 Mar 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Capitalized goodwill | 4,056 | 4,056 |
No amortization of goodwill in accordance with IAS 36 was undertaken in the year under review.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at their cost of acquisition less scheduled, allocated depreciation or less unscheduled and continued depreciation. Assets showing signs of impairment and having future cash flows with fair values less than the carrying amount were written down in accordance with IAS 36 (Impairment of assets) to their value in use or a value obtainable if they are sold singly or liquidated.
Scheduled depreciation was effected on a straight-line basis. Assets added in the first half of the business year were written down at the full annual rate of depreciation; those added after 30 September 2011 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:
| a) Intangible fixed assets | 2.0 | to | 25.0 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| b) Land and buildings | 25.0 and | 40.0 years | |
| c) Buildings on land owned by others | 2.0 | to | 10.0 years |
| d) Plant and machinery | 2.0 | to | 10.0 years |
| e) Other equipment and office equipment | 2.0 | to | 10.0 years |
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 largely 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). Depreciation 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.
Shares in Affiliated Companies
Shares in affiliated companies were valued at the cost of acquisition. The recorded shares in affiliated companies had an unchanged book value of EUR 0.00 on the reporting date.
Shares in Associated Companies and other Financial Assets
The shares in associated companies were valued at equity.
Securities were valued at the time of addition at their cost of acquisition 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 long-term receivables were recorded at their discounted present value. Foreign-currency receivables from the financial statements of individual companies included in the consolidated accounts were valued at the foreign-exchange buying rate as of the reporting date.
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.
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 onetime termination benefit to be paid out on dismissal or retirement. In the process, the projected benefits were calculated based on an imputed rate of increase of 4.75% p.a. (PY: 5.25% p.a.) and based on expected pay raises of 3.5% p.a. (PY: 3.5% p.a.), with 60 assumed to be the retirement age for female employees and 65 for male employees.
A provision for long-service anniversaries 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.
As in years past, actuarial gains and losses were immediately offset under personnel expenses in the year of occurrence in a manner affecting profit and loss. Provisions were made for benefit-based termination pay obligations of foreign companies in accordance with comparable methods unless contribution-based provision systems were involved.
Termination payment obligations to employees at Turkish group companies were calculated based on an imputed interest rate of 10.00% p.a. (PY: 10.00%) and expected inflation-related pay raises of 6.50% p.a. (PY: 6.50%).
Obligations arising from pension commitments granted to a former employee were determined on the basis of the same calculation factors used for the termination pay provisions at Austrian group companies.
Other Provisions
Other long-term 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.
Trade Accounts Payable
Liabilities were carried at the written-down cost of acquisition applying the effective interest method. Foreign currency liabilities were valued at the foreign-exchange selling rate applicable on the reporting date.
Estimates and Discretionary Practices
To a certain extent, consolidated financial statements require that estimates and assumptions be made that affect the balance-sheet assets and liabilities involved as well as the information on other obligations at 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.
These assumptions and estimates are applied primarily to determine the useful service life of customer agreements and tangible fixed assets and to impute the expected discount factor, salary and pension increases and fluctuation rates in the actuarial valuation of pension plans, termination benefits and similar claims. Furthermore, management assesses whether all deferred tax is realizable.
Management is called on to make estimates and future-related assumptions about expected discounted net cash flows and cost of capital particularly when assessing the impairment of goodwill and other assets. The managers make these estimates to the best of their knowledge based on experience and the going concern principle. Any remaining uncertainty is therefore adequately considered.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated profit/loss after minority interests by the weighted number of shares issued.
Changes in Valuation and Accounting Methods
No changes were made in accounting and valuation methods in the year under review.
2. Notes to the Statement of Financial Position and Income Statement for the Group
2.1. Statement of Financial Position for the Group
(1) Fixed Assets
| in TEUR | 31 Mar 2012 | 31 Mar 2011 |

The attached assets schedule shows a breakdown of the fixed asset items summarized in the consolidated balance sheet and changes in them during the 2011/2012 business year and in the previous year. Recognized 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 pertinent year and from the use of average rates for movements during the year. International Event Catering equipment at a book value of TEUR 2,245 has been reclassified from inventories to fixed assets in the business year.
The intangible fixed assets recorded pertain solely to goodwill and 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.
The land included under tangible fixed assets has a value of TEUR 683 (PY: TEUR 641).
Purchase order commitments for assets ordered but not yet delivered as of 31 March 2012 amounted to TEUR 16,187 (PY: TEUR 9,381).
The following amounts were recorded under tangible fixed assets (other production plant and office equipment) based on finance lease agreements the company entered into:
| in TEUR | 31 Mar 2012 | 31 Mar 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition costs | 2,299 | 2,299 |
| Accumulated depreciation | 2,299 | 2,299 |
| Book value | 0 | 0 |
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 were as follows:

|---|---|---|
| in the following 12 months | 25,659 | 25,275 |
| in the next five business years | 126,432 | 125,162 |
An obligation of TEUR 76,163 (PY: TEUR 84,001) also exists based on long-term leases (waiver of termination until 2024).
Other production plant and office equipment include standard values of TEUR 531 (PY: TEUR 981) for tableware, cutlery, table linen and containers. The standard values were carried under assets largely at the companies generating sales in the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities | |

No deferred taxes were capitalized in these consolidated financial statements for differences on the asset side and for tax loss carry-forwards totaling TEUR 7,127 (PY: TEUR 7,716), because the company is not yet sufficiently certain that these deferred tax assets can be realized as future tax relief.

Personnel Risks
For DO & CO, the biggest asset it has are its employees and the corporate culture into which they breathe life. The employees are the most crucial factor in DO & CO's success. The future development of DO & CO therefore depends on how effective it is in hiring and integrating highly skilled and motivated employees and in forging lasting bonds of loyalty between them and the company. Professional training and consistent personnel development are central tools for achieving the desired growth.
The ongoing expansion of the DO & CO Group is accompanied by a mirror drive to enlarge its management resources.
The professional and profitable integration of new company units will be a major challenge for the continued success of DO & CO. Shared values and a vital corporate culture help our new employees to understand the high quality standards to which we aspire in our product and in our personal service and assist us in anchoring those standards permanently in the company.
Legal Risks
With its constant expansion and its global scope of business, DO & CO has to abide by a myriad of legal requirements at national and international level, especially in relation to food law, hygiene, waste management, human resources and taxes, as well as special guidelines and regulations issued by various airlines. The company needs to rapidly respond to any changes in legal regimes and to integrate them in its business processes.
Non-compliance with legal regulations and contractual agreements may give rise to claims for damages that can put a heavy burden on the company. The Group has set up a central legal department to counter this risk. Specific insurance policies are taken out throughout the Group as the main means of minimizing liability risks from damage that has proven unpreventable despite damage avoidance efforts.
Currency Risk
DO & CO is highly vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations due to the international nature of its business segments. The major foreign currencies involved are TRY, USD 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 with the same maturity. The Group also endeavors to exclude additional risks to the greatest possible extent by entering into appropriate contractual agreements with customers and suppliers.
Whenever needed, financial instruments and derivatives are employed to control currency risks. No derivatives were in use at the reporting date.
The sensitivity analysis conducted according to IAS 39 and taking into account transaction and translation risks showed the following changes in profit/loss on ordinary business activities assuming fluctuations of exchange rates in relation to the reporting date and the annual average exchange rate of the key foreign currencies (appreciation of the foreign currency):
A 5% change in the EUR-to-USD exchange rate would have an effect equivalent to plus TEUR 803 (PY: TEUR 562).
A 5% change in the EUR-to-GBP exchange rate would have an effect equivalent to plus TEUR 486 (PY: TEUR 348).
A 5% change in the EUR-to-TRY exchange rate would have an effect equivalent to TEUR -735 (PY: TEUR –687).
Liquidity Risk
Precise financial planning updated daily is the key to controlling liquidity and to avoiding liquidity risk. If expansion and other projects are undertaken, a meticulous analysis of their impact on Group liquidity must be conducted.
All Austrian DO & CO companies are integrated in a single cash-pooling system so that liquidity can be controlled centrally.
Deviations from financial plans are detected immediately thanks to regular and prompt financial reporting. This approach ensures that counter-measures can be initiated quickly.
The liquidity risk of the DO & CO Group is limited by virtue of its low level of debt. Current liquidity needs can be met by available cash and cash equivalents and by financial facilities granted by banks.
Credit Risk
DO & CO keeps the credit risk to a minimum by closely monitoring outstanding debts as part of receivables management. The outstanding items of all legal entities are reported weekly. That means the Group monitors customer credit risks promptly and is able to respond quickly if the situation changes.
It also takes proactive steps to control the credit risk associated with major customers by entering into pertinent 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 credit risks are expected from the other original financial instruments.
The receivables recorded under assets and reduced by appropriate value adjustments represent the maximum solvency and credit 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.
As regards credit risk on the customer side, please refer to the schedule on overdue trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable under (4) in these Notes.
Interest Risk
Financing is done at usual market conditions, with maturities always matching those of the financed projects. The effects of a change in interest rates are monitored in sensitivity analyses conducted twice a year. The Group does not currently face any material risk from interest rate fluctuations.
DO & CO had no financial liabilities as of 31 March 2012 and has a large stock of cash and cash equivalents. A one-percent increase in the average interest rate would therefore have a positive effect of about 2.7% of the consolidated profit/loss on ordinary business activities. No negative effects are therefore expected from interest rate changes.
Capital Management
With its financial business control system, the DO & CO Group seeks to achieve a sustainable increase in the intrinsic value of the company and to maintain and improve the capital structure. This capital structure is an important prerequisite for profitable growth by the company because the financial strategy aims at protecting the Group's profitability, stability, liquidity and financial flexibility. The following strategic benchmarks are defined for this purpose:
- availability of a minimum strategic liquidity,
- sustained equity ratio at an appropriate level,
- retention of financial and operational flexibility by leaving available assets unencumbered.
The Group's dividend policy is based on the same premises. The proposed dividend payments therefore take into account the capital required for subsequent years.

Significant Differences Between Austrian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
Goodwill from Capital Consolidation: The Austrian Business Enterprise Code (UGB) permits the offsetting of retained earnings without effect to net income or capitalization of straight-line 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. The Austrian Business Enterprise Code (UGB) requires accrual of deferred taxes for temporary differences only if they involve deferred tax liabilities. In deviation from the regulations of the Austrian Business Enterprise 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 Business Enterprise Code (UGB) is based on the principle of commercial prudence. IAS/IFRS, for its part, is geared to the determinability of payment obligations for which provisions should be formed and the degree of probability of the relevant events occurring. Unlike Austrian business enterprise law, IAS/IFRS does not permit expense provisions to be formed.
Personnel provisions: Under IAS/IFRS, personnel provisions (for termination benefits, pensions, long-service anniversary bonuses) 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. According to the Austrian Business Enterprise Code (UGB), these provisions are calculated according to the part-value method.
Sales of marketable securities: According to the Austrian Business Enterprise Code, marketable securities are to be assessed at their market value or at most at their cost of acquisition. Under the IAS/IFRS, marketable securities are always assessed at market values.
Valuation of foreign currency amounts: Receivables and liabilities expressed 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 Business Enterprise Code (UGB) takes a different approach. Only unrealized losses are recorded on the balance sheet in keeping with the imparity principle. Under IFRS, translation differences from debt consolidation in connection with inner-group 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 changes in shareholder's equity be explained in detail in the Notes. It also imposes additional disclosure obligations particularly as regards business segments and derivative financial instruments.

Those standards require that we comply with professional guidelines and that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group's preparation of the consolidated financial statements and fair presentation of the assets, financial and profit situation of the Group in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG did not give rise to any objections.
