The Airline Catering division, though faced with a difficult market, managed to boost its sales during the first half of 2012/2013 from € 182.83m by € 21.04m to € 203.86m.

The satisfactory growth rate achieved in the first quarter by DO & CO's international locations in New York, London, Milan and Frankfurt continued throughout the second quarter of the business year. Most notable is the performance in New York, where startups for British Airways and Etihad were successfully handled in the second quarter. The locations in Turkey reported sales growth as well. Moreover, starting in June 2012 the sales generated by Kyiv Catering LLC were for the first time included in the profit and loss statement for the Group. In Austria, sales declined in the first half of 2012/2013, due to the austerity programs implemented for major clients in the first quarter of the 2012/2013 business year.

At the International Event Catering division, sales in the first half of 2012/2013 rose from € 28.53m in the corresponding period in the previous year to € 49.76m.

This significant rise is predominantly due to the catering organized for the UEFA EURO 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

At € 51.21m, sales of the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division for the first half of 2012/2013 were 54.5% above the previous year's level (first six months of 2011/2012: € 33.14m).

The increase is the result, mostly, of the division's takeover of the catering for the Austrian Federal Railways with effect from 1 April 2012. An added factor was greater sales in the lounges segment. Notable in this respect is the lounge at the Istanbul-Ataturk airport which the division has been managing since the second quarter of the 2011/2012 business year. Overall sales were also boosted by the new gastronomic ventures at Bodrum Airport.

3. Earnings

Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the DO & CO Group amounted to € 23.95m for the first half of the 2012/2013 business year, higher by € 5.07m than in the previous year's first six months. The EBIT margin was 7.9% (first half of 2011/2012: 7.7%). EBITDA for the DO & CO Group was raised from € 26.98m to € 31.46m, an increase of € 4.48m in year-on-year terms. The EBITDA margin was 10.3% (first half of 2011/2012: 11.0%).

Costs of materials and services as a proportion to sales were cut back from 43.2% in the previous year to 41.9%. In absolute figures, the cost of materials and services rose by € 22.27m (+21.1%), at a sales growth rate of 24.7%.

Personnel expenses as a proportion of sales grew from 30.1% to 31.2% in the first half of 2012/2013. In absolute figures, they rose from € 73.66m to € 95.25m.

Depreciation and amortization amounted to € 7.51m for the first half of 2012/2013, a figure that remained below the previous first half year's level.

Other operating expenses grew by € 14.53m or 33.6%.

The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of untaxed income) was 26.2% in the first half of 2012/2013 (first half of 2011/2012: 26.5%).

For the first half of 2012/2013, the Group achieved a net profit of € 14.22m, an increase of € 3.04m over the first six months of the previous year. Earnings per share thus are € 1.46 (first half of 2011/2012: € 1.15).

4. Balance Sheet

Current assets increased by € 11.13m since the balance sheet date of 31 March 2012, caused by an expansion of business activities. Notable items here are the first consolidation of Kyiv Catering LLC and Henry am Zug GmbH.

Consolidated equity (adjusted by goodwill book values) recorded a rise by € 16.59m, from € 161.64m as of 31 March 2012 to € 178.23m on 30 September 2012.

The equity ratio (adjusted by goodwill book values) declined to 54.3%, compared to 56.8% as of 31 March 2012, the result of an expansion of business activities which in turn caused an increase of the balance sheet total.

Current liabilities showed a sharp rise of € 21.97m to € 122.25m compared to the previous year's balance sheet date. Once again, the underlying reason was an expansion of business activities.

5. Cash Flow

At € 23.45m, the operating cash flow was higher by € 2.23m than in the previous year's period, the consequence of a better result for the period and changes in working capital.

At € -0.49m, the cash flow from investments is negative (€ -26.80m for the first half of 2011/2012). Investment in tangible and intangible assets amounted to € 14.37m. Added to this is a positive effect from the change in liquid funds resulting from the first consolidation of Kyiv Catering LLC amounting to € 14.00m.

The cash flow from financing activities totaled € -16.78m (first half of 2011/2012: € -5.51m), resulting from dividend payments and a reduction of financial liabilities at the Ukrainian subsidiary Kyiv Catering LLC.

6. Employees

The average number of employees increased from 4,197 to 5,645 in year-on-year terms. This increase is due mainly to the inclusion of Kyiv Catering LLC with its more than 600 staff and an expansion of business activities in Austria (especially Henry am Zug) and Turkey.

7. Airline Catering

Drawing on its unique, innovative and competitive product portfolio, the Airline Catering division contributes the largest share to the 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, Kiev, Istanbul and at eight 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 including Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Oman Air, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Egypt Air, China Southern Airlines, Royal Jordanian, Jet Airways, Iberia, Air France and Asiana Airlines.

In the first half of the 2012/2013 business year, the Airline Catering division rang up sales of € 203.86m (vs € 182.83m in the first half of 2011/2012), a growth of 11.5% over the previous year. The division contributed 66.9% to the Group's overall sales (against 74.8% in the first half of 2011/2012).

EBITDA and EBIT improved further in the first half of 2012/2013. At € 22.49m, EBITDA was € 1.30m (+6.1%) up over the first six months of the previous year. EBIT rose from € 13.99m to € 16.52m (+18.1%). The EBITDA margin amounted to 11.0% in the first half of this business year (against 11.6% in the first six months of the previous year); the EBIT margin increased to 8.1% (from 7.7% in the first half of 2011/2012).

All the international locations managed to continue their performance of the first quarter into the second quarter of the 2012/2013 business year, achieving very satisfactory growth rates in their sales figures.

New York's John F. Kennedy Airport location reported a substantial increase in its growth performance, driven by an expansion of business relations with existing customers as much as the acquisition of new clients. During the second quarter, the location handled two successful startups. Starting on 1 August 2012, a daily long-distance flight run by Etihad Airways to Abu Dhabi was supplied with its catering by DO & CO. With this, DO & CO is now serving Etihad Airways at six locations. A notable acquisition of strategic importance at New York's JFK Airport was British Airways: As from 1 September, the catering for ten daily long-haul flights to London Heathrow and London City is provided by DO & CO.

Similarly satisfactory is the development at the London Heathrow, Frankfurt and Milan Malpensa locations. Sales there were boosted by extending their business volume with existing customers and adding new ones.

Turkish DO & CO, the 50:50 joint venture of DO & CO and Turkish Airlines in Turkey, was able also in the second quarter of the 2012/2013 business year to report excellent business both with Turkish Airlines and with third parties.

As of June 2012, Kyiv Catering LLC was incorporated in the consolidated financial statements. DO & CO acquired 51% of the largest airline caterer in Ukraine. With a market share of 60%, Kiev-domiciled Kyiv Catering LLC is the market leader for airline catering in the region, employing more than 600 staff.

The Austrian units reported a decline in sales to major customers, the result of austerity programs instituted by these clients. In the first quarter of the current business year, a new meal ordering system was introduced by Austrian Airlines in cooperation with DO & CO which allows passengers to order a "DO & CO à la carte meal" when buying a ticket via internet or up to one hour before departure (from Vienna Airport). This service, unique in the aviation business, met with considerable approval by passengers during the second quarter.

8. International Event Catering

Sales at the International Event Catering division in the first half of 2012/2013 were pushed up by € 21.23m to € 49.76m (first half of 2011/2012: € 28.53m), a growth that was mostly driven by the catering organized for UEFA EURO 2012.

At € 5.47m, the division's EBITDA is substantially above that for the first six months of the previous year (€ 3.12m). The EBITDA margin was 11.0% (vs. 10.9% in the first half of the previous year). EBIT was increased from € 2.75m in the first half of the previous year to € 4.90m. The EBIT margin was 9.8% (PY's equivalent: 9.7%).

In the first half of the 2012/2013 business year, the Major Events segment focused on the UEFA EURO 2012. Its highlight, the final in Kiev, took place on the first day of the second quarter of the DO & CO business year. From the opening match in Warsaw on 8 June to the final in Kiev on 1 July, more than 85,000 VIP guests were treated to DO & CO's high-class culinary performance. DO & CO handled the UEFA VIP hospitality for 31 matches at eight different venues.

The same as for EURO 2008, DO & CO acted as the hospitality production manager for UEFA, its responsibility extending to the entire infrastructure. From the planning stage to the settingup and dismantling, DO & CO made certain that tents, furniture, decorations and services (such as entertainment, hostesses, security and cleaning) would be provided exactly on schedule. Moreover and starting already at the end of April, DO & CO provided the catering for UEFA staff working at the various venues.

Quite apart from this extra-large sports event, the segment handled eleven Formula 1 grands prix races in the first half of the 2012/2013 business year. In the second quarter, the focus was on the European Formula 1 races – the UK, Germany, Hungary, Belgium and Italy – where more than 37,000 VIP guests enjoyed the delights of supreme DO & CO catering.

Following the ATP Tennis Masters in Madrid and the UEFA Champions League Final in Munich as the highlights of the first quarter, the second quarter of the 2012/2013 business year, the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam at the Wörthersee was the high point of the summer. Over just four days, DO & CO indulged more than 8,000 guests with its culinary delicacies. DO & CO also catered for several horse shows during the second quarter. The same as in the previous years, DO & CO provided its prime culinary services to over 4,500 VIP guests of the World Equestrian Festival CHIO in Aachen. In a similar vein, DO & CO did the catering for over 2,600 guests at the CDI dressage competition in Treffen/ Carinthia.

In the first half of the 2012/2013 business year, the joint venture with Fortnum & Mason passed another test following the Chelsea Flower Show of the first quarter, when visitors to the Tatton Flower Show held in July were delighted with the superior DO & CO catering.

The Classic Events segments similarly reported an excellent sales growth rate in the first half of 2012/2013.

9. Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel

In the first half of the 2012/2013 business year, the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division was able to raise its sales from € 33.14m in the corresponding period in the previous year by 54.5% to € 51.21m, a growth rate that was chiefly due to the new railway segment.

At € 3.50m, EBITDA was 31.1% higher (first half of 2011/2012: € 2.67m). At 6.8%, the EBITDA margin was below its previous first half year's level of 8.0%. EBIT was increased from € 2.14m in the first half of the previous year to € 2.53m. The EBIT margin was 4.9% (first half of 2011/2012: 6.5%).

The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division spans the following segments: restaurants, lounges, hotel, Demel, staff restaurants, retail and railway.

As from 1 April 2012, DO & CO took over the catering for all long-distance trains (160 trains per day) run by the Austrian Federal Railways. DO & CO took an important strategic step towards a new market segment. In line with the project schedule, the processes were integrated in the DO & CO Group within the first half year. In several stages DO & CO will implement a new and quality-focused concept with its "Henry am Zug" brand over the next months.

The lounges business reported a considerable boost in its sales figures for the first half of 2012/2013.

At the international terminal of Bodrum Airport in Turkey DO & CO's airport catering did equally well during the high season of the second quarter. At this location, DO & CO operates two Henry shops, a burger restaurant, several other outlets and a restaurant for airport staff.

The newly opened shops at Check-In-3 terminal at Vienna Airport generated a positive performance. Both the Demel Café and the Henry shop reported positive customer responses.

The restaurants and Demel cafés segments did equally well in the first half of 2012/2013.

10. DO & CO Stock / Investor Relations

11. 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 help ensure the continued existence of the business while creating opportunities to improve the company's assets, financial and earnings position by enhancing potential for future growth and profits. With its risk management, the company responds to any changes in basic conditions – reliably, promptly and with good effect.

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 Auditing.

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 first half of 2012/2013 business year:

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 Airlines, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific and British Airways, the Group therefore to some extent runs a "cluster risk".

1 COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tradeway Commission) is an independent private business organization sponsored by the five largest financial reporting associations.

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. Through the acquisition of new customers by way of participating in tenders worldwide the company can 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 eight 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. 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, or the nuclear incident in Japan and its radioactive fallout.

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 close cooperation with airlines, aeronautical authorities (EASA) and the international air weather service.

By DO & CO's cooperation with the risk departments at the world's major insurers, the risks ensuing from weather and climate change are accorded special importance.

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 future 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, UAH, 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 seeks to mitigate 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 control liquidity and to avoid 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 as a consequence to its low rate of liabilities. Liquidity requirements can be covered from existing cash and credit lines granted by the banks. Moreover, DO & CO hedges against liquidity risk as well as against inflation, default and foreign currency risks by diversifying into assets that can be sold at any time.

Default Risks

DO & CO keeps the risk of default 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 default risks promptly and is able to respond quickly if the situation changes.

It takes proactive steps to control the risk of default 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 default 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 at half-yearly intervals. 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 implemented.

These risks do not impair the continued successful existence of the Group.

12. Outlook

The Airline Catering division is continuing to concentrate its sales activities at the DO & CO locations on expanding its business relations with existing customers as much as on acquiring new clients.

With the unit enlargement at New York's JFK Airport completed and two successful start-ups carried out, the location will focus on optimizing its internal processes.

In Turkey, the "Flying Chefs" concept at Turkish Airlines is set to be expanded. In addition to serving on long-distance flights, "Flying Chefs" will begin to cater for passengers on some international short-haul flights over the next months.

With Kyiv Catering LLC incorporated in the DO & CO Group since 31 May, its full integration in the Group will be a priority over the next months. In the mid term, DO & CO aims to grow in Ukraine not just through airline catering services, but also by way of offering Viennese coffeehouse culture, gourmet shops and event catering.

The International Event Catering division is shifting its focus on overseas Formula 1 grands prix races to be held over the next months. Races in India, Abu Dhabi and Austin/Texas will furnish the climax of the Formula 1 season.

For the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division, attention over the next months will be on the retail and railway catering segments.

With the successful takeover of the catering for the Austrian railways on 1 April 2012, a new and quality-conscious concept is being gradually implemented over the next months.

In November another Henry shop was opened in Vienna. In addition, the openings of further Henry outlets in Vienna and at other DO & CO locations are prepared.

The division is also revving up its construction works at the hotel in Istanbul which is scheduled to be launched in late 2013.

The same as in the past quarters, DO & CO continues to evaluate potential targets for acquisition in a range of markets that cover airline catering, restaurants and retail business.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

I. General Information

1. Principles

DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft 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.

Its reporting date is March 31.

The 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 2012/2013 as applied in the European Union and in application of the parent's standard group-wide accounting and valuation principles.

The interim financial statements as of 30 September 2012 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all information and disclosures that the annual financial statements do and should be viewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2012.

Unless otherwise indicated, the interim financial statements are stated in thousands of euros (TEUR), as are the figures in the Notes. In adding up rounded figures and percentages, rounding differences may occur due to the use of automated computing aids.

2. Accounting and Valuation Principles

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

Futures and option dealings entered into in the course of a merger are shown in the annual accounts as follows:

When a merger is first included, an item is shown in equity for minority shareholders. Subsequently, changes in the assets position of the minority shareholders are considered directly in the equity pursuant to the rules of IAS 27, at the end of each reporting period. Correspondingly, the parent company recognizes the financial liability from the option writer's position without affecting net income ("minorities" special item) as a derivative pursuant to IAS 39 as a long-term financial liability. In subsequent periods during the term of the derivative, the amounts considered in the equity at the relevant reporting date are removed. Differences between the removed equity amounts and the amount of financial liability recognised or adjusted are reported in accordance with the regulations to map transactions between shareholder groups within the equity of a parent company. The mapping in the balance sheet assumes that the parent company's shareholders acquire the re-recognized asset of the minority shareholders at each balance sheet date.

3. Scope of consolidation

The following companies have for the first time been included in the scope of consolidation during the first half of the 2012/2013 business year:

Full consolidation Percentage share Date of initial consolidation
Kyiv Catering LLC 51% 31 May 2012 controlling majority
Henry am Zug GmbH 100% 1 April 2012 controlling majority
DO & CO Netherlands Holding B.V 51% 31 May 2012 controlling majority

No goodwill was carried as an asset in connection with the additions to the scope of consolidation.

In the interim financial statements, the acquisition of the companies impacted at TEUR 19,508 on sales revenues and at TEUR 1,668 on the result after taxes on earnings. If the acquisitions had been made at the start of the business year, their impact on sales revenues and the result after taxes on earnings would have been of minor importance only.

The effects on the Group's interim financial statements are as follows:

in TEUR
Long-term assets 18,694
Short-term assets 9,635
Long-term debts 4,113
Short-term debts 13,798

The acquired companies were incorporated in the consolidated financial statements by carrying the fair values of the assets, debts and contingent debts computed as provided for in IFRS 3 as of the date of acquisition, with due consideration of the relevant depreciations. Due to uncertainties of evaluation, the figures for intangible assets, accounts payable and provisions are preliminary as provided for in IFRS 3.

Moreover, the company Henry am Zug Hungary Kft. was set up in the second quarter of the 2012/2013 business year.

4. Currency Translation

The interim 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 is the national currency of their country of registration since the subsidiaries are financially, economically and organizationally independent in their conduct of business. The only exceptions are two British companies and one Hungarian company.

The interim financial statements of ten foreign subsidiaries with registered offices outside the Community Territory of the Member States of the European Union and two subsidiaries each with registered offices in Great Britain, Poland and Ukraine 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 30 September 2012. Income and expenses on the income statement were translated at average rate of the reporting period.

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.

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 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
1 Euro corresponds to: 30 Sep 2012 30 Sep 2011 30 Sep 2012 30 Sep 2011
US Dollar 1.293000 1.350300 1.267767 1.430652
British Pound 0.798050 0.866650 0.800908 0.882061
Turkish Lira 2.320300 2.510002 2.286767 2.379513
Swiss Franc 1.209900 1.217000 1.202983 1.206108
Zloty 4.103800 - 4.200667 -
Ukrainian Hryvnia 10.636500 - 10.388833 -

5. Seasonal Nature of Business

Fluctuations in business volume are significant in Airline Catering and International Event Catering. The larger volume of flights and passengers among airline customers especially in the first and second quarters of the business year due to the holiday and charter season have a major influence on Airline Catering whereas for International Event Catering the main factor is the changing dates of large-scale sports events.

Report on the Auditor's Review of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Introduction

We have conducted an auditor's review of the attached condensed consolidated interim financial statements of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft, Vienna, for the period of 1 April 2012 trough 30 September 2012. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements consist of the consolidated balance sheet as of 30 September 2012, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated cash flow statement and the schedule of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity for the period from 1 April 2012 trough 30 September 2012 as well as the notes containing a summary of the principle accounting and valuation methods applied and other information.

The company's management is responsible for preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim financial reporting as applied in the European Union. It is our responsibility to issue a summary assessment of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our auditor's review.

Scope of the auditor's review

We have conducted the auditor's review in keeping with the pertinent valid legal regulations and generally accepted professional standards in Austria and the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". An auditor's review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. An auditor's review has a substantially smaller scope than an audit and entails less evidence than an audit. Consequently a review does not enable us to obtain the kind of assurance an audit does that we would become aware of all matters and that these financial statements are free from material misstatement. For this reason, we cannot issue an auditor's opinion.

Summary opinion

Based on our auditor's review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting as applied in the European Union.

Opinion regarding the half-year consolidated management report and the management statement in accordance with Section 87.1.3 Stock Exchange Act

We have read the consolidated management report for the first half of the business year and assessed it to determine whether it obviously contradicts the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In our judgment, the half-year consolidated management report does not obviously contradict the condensed interim financial statements.

The half-year financial report contains the Management Statement pursuant to Section 87.1.3 Stock Exchange Act.
