Following on from a year of record-breaking share prices, 2013 will be a challenging time for init innovation in traffic systems AG. We do not want to limit ourselves to maintaining share prices at their current level, and, if possible, indeed, taking them higher: we also want to ensure that our group's success is built around our products and services.
At the upcoming UITP (International Association of Public Transport) World Congress to be held at the end of May in Geneva, we will be presenting the new functions in our integrated MOBILE system solution, with which init offers transport companies a self-contained IT solution that covers and optimises the entire value chain, from planning to control systems. Through automated data exchanges, the system compares real-time data with targets. This allows users to reduce costs whilst also creating more robust, streamlined operating processes that benefit transport companies and passengers alike.
We have also added a new on-demand service management function to our control system. Passengers can book travel online, on their mobile or using a smartphone. Our specialist software for on-demand services establishes the most efficient use of drivers and vehicles by creating optimised route plans, ensuring that every passenger is picked up from and arrives at the right place at the right time.
As companies often use taxis and minibuses with no on-board computer, we have developed a special app that provides all key information via the driver's smartphone. The app also allows the driver and control station to communicate and send data. init's simple, low-cost solution allows transport companies to expand their range of services whilst maintaining efficiency, particularly in rural areas.
These are just two examples of how we are trying to tap into new global growth markets. Another key challenge for the next few years will be expanding into new regional markets. We have identified significant long-term growth opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. Initial responses suggest that within five years we could be generating higher revenues there than in North America, which is currently our largest market.
Even setting aside the continued upwards growth trend in our industry – UITP predicts that public transport networks will see passenger numbers double by 2025, which will also require considerable investment – we are confident that we are well placed to generate more value for you, our shareholders, in the coming years.
After nine years of consistent growth, init innovation in traffic systems AG has set itself the target of – for the first time – achieving revenues in excess of EUR 100m in 2013. We have already guaranteed the bulk of revenues for 2013 and 2014 with record-high order backlog volumes at EUR 178m. Although earnings for the first quarter of 2013 were slightly below expectations, we still anticipate that revenues will rise to EUR 105m with operating earnings (EBIT) coming in at EUR 18m. Although 2013 is set to be a tough year, we are expecting over EUR 105m in incoming orders, which will maintain long-term growth.
Given the outlook, we are proposing that the Annual General Meeting on 16 May 2013 should agree to maintain dividend payments at EUR 0.80 per dividend-bearing share, even though net profit in 2012 was down year-onyear. We do still want to pay a healthy dividend and hope to increase earnings in 2013, which will then allow us to boost dividend payments.
Thank you for the trust that you have placed in us.
For the Managing Board of init innovation in traffic systems AG
Dr. Gottfried Greschner Chairman of the Managing Board (CEO)
In the first quarter of 2013, the init innovation in traffic systems AG share price (ISIN DE0005759807) followed up seamlessly on the most successful year since the company's initial public offering in July 2001. Buoyed by the long-term growth outlook resulting from a high order backlog of over one and a half times targeted annual revenues and the prospect of further successful tenders, the init share price continued its upward momentum at the start of the year. At the end of February, the share price hit a new record high of around EUR 26 partly as a result of successful Investor Relations efforts. Market uncertainties subsequently prompted a wave of profit-taking, but despite fluctuations the init share closed the first quarter at EUR 23.60, up slightly from 31 December 2012.
The share consequently performed roughly in line with the German share index (DAX). Having consistently underperformed the init share in the recent years, the index of leading German technology stocks, the TecDAX, recovered and posted healthy 9 per cent growth for the first time during the period under review.
Banks and analysts who constantly evaluate the performance of the init share are currently issuing hold and buy ratings with price targets of between EUR 24 and EUR 30. As a result of its positive price performance, the init share already meets the market capitalisation requirements for inclusion in the TecDAX. The share's liquidity on the Frankfurt stock exchange also continued to improve. At the end of March, the init share price ranked 38th in terms of the stock exchange trading volume of technology shares. For inclusion in the TexDAX shares are required to feature in the top 35.
A key factor in init's corporate policy is the distribution of an appropriate share of annual profit to shareholders. As the group did not achieve further earnings growth in 2012 compared to the previous year, the init AG Managing Board and Supervisory Board will propose to the 2013 Annual General Meeting payment of an unchanged dividend of EUR 0.80 per dividend-bearing share. Consequently, EUR 8,015,984.00 will be distributed from the balance sheet profit of EUR 16,616,545.99 for the 2012 financial year. The balance will be carried forward.
The final decision will be taken at the init Annual General Meeting, which is due to be held on 16 May 2013 in the Concert House at the Karlsruhe Convention Centre.

The surprisingly strong weakening of global growth perspectives towards the end of 2012 influenced both the allocation and expectations of public-sector budgets as well as those of companies in the reporting period. Under pressure from the as yet unsolved banking and sovereigndebt crisis in the eurozone, in particular, and the resulting risks for the global economy, plans have been revised, expenditure has been cut and investors remain cautious for the time being. A long winter in central Europe and a spring low in the US also had a dampening effect on overall economic developments.
So it wasn't until progress was made to stem the European debt crisis, the "fiscal cliff" was overcome in the United States, more expansive monetary and fiscal policies were introduced in Japan, and investment in emerging and developing economies grew that the economic horizon brightened again towards the end of the reporting period. Expectations about future economic developments, which had initially been corrected downwards at the start of the year, gradually became more optimistic.
As a result, the latest Global Economic Outlook report (April 2013) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) foresees a recovery by the global economy in 2013 and growth of more than 3 per cent, increasing to 4 per cent next year. This recovery continues to be driven primarily by emerging and developing nations, whose economic output is predicted to increase overall by more than 5 per cent, while countries like China and India can expect much greater growth rates of up to 8 per cent. This trend will increase further in 2014.
Economics say the US can expect growth of 1.9 per cent in 2013, though this should rise to 3 per cent by 2014. According to this, the massive cuts in public expenditure triggered by the "fiscal cliff" should not hinder the continuing growth of the US economy.
By contrast, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the IMF believe that Europe is lagging behind global economic developments because of the ongoing European debt crisis. This is also widening the economic divide between European nations. Whereas the German economy is growing, other European countries are falling further back, in some cases even into recession. The IMF even predicts an overall 0.3 per cent shrinkage of the economic output of the eurozone in 2013, although it expects growth of more than 1 per cent in the coming year. Economists forecast growth in Germany of 0.6 per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year.
In an uncertain global economic environment, the market for telematics, planning, electronic fare collection systems for buses and trains is a sustainable growth market. According to a UITP prognosis, passenger numbers will double by 2025. Growing passenger numbers also make investments in local public transport absolutely essential. Last but not least, there are also ecological reasons in favour of an efficient local transport system because the more that passengers use local public transport, the lower the emission of particulate matter and carbon dioxide.
Although the consolidation of public-sector budgets also affects the development of the transport infrastructure, the willingness of transport firms to invest and the availability of subsidies, we were unable to register any major negative effects thus far in our market. It is not currently possible to make a reliable estimate of the extent to which this will affect the business of the init group in the future. Substantial funds continue to be available in Europe, North America and Asia for the expansion of local public transport networks, which leads init too to expect a growing number of tenders in 2013. On the whole, init AG benefits from its position as a global leader in the provision of high-tech infrastructure solutions. International business in particular is a driver of our growth, with init constantly tapping into new markets.
The negative developments in the economic climate have not adversely affected the performance of init innovation in traffic systems AG. The init group continues to work on a number of international tenders for hardware and software products as well as telematics, planning and electronic fare collection systems. Billions will be invested in local public transport over the next few years, part of which will fall on the relevant division of init AG, thus securing the continuing growth of the init group in the long term.
init was unable to reach either its planned figures nor the expected revenue in the first quarter of 2013. This was due to project delays and a lack of hardware deliveries in the first quarter because our new major projects have not yet reached their roll out phase.
To date the init group has successfully completed more than 400 national and international projects. Thanks to its integrated telematics, planning and electronic fare collection systems, init is a partner of transport companies on four continents. This typically translates into long-term relationships with customers whose follow-up and maintenance contracts ensure that the group has a stable base from which to operate. There are currently many new calls for tender for international projects within our market. As such, the long-term growth perspectives for the transport telematics market remain intact. Nearly all countries are showing a growing willingness to expand their local public transport systems. Because the majority of init's business focuses on such long-term projects, we believe our company continues to have good growth prospects.
In the first quarter, init managed to secure new orders worth a total of EUR 15.9m (Q1 2012: EUR 14.9m). Of these, EUR 5.5m were in Germany, EUR 3.5m in the rest of Europe and EUR 6.3m in North America. Other countries accounted for orders worth EUR 0.6m. Of all the incoming orders, EUR 12.7m were in the "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment, while EUR 3.2m were attributable to the "Other" segment.
As at 31 March 2013, the total order volume was about EUR 178m, an increase of about 43 per cent on the figure for the same time last year: EUR 124m.
A lack of hardware deliveries meant that init AG just failed to meet its first-quarter revenues and earnings expectations. In the first quarter of 2013, the group generated revenue of EUR 17.0m (Q1 2012: EUR 19.6m). EUR 15.8m of this is attributable to the "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment. International business made up 78.1 per cent of this (Q1 2012: 79.5 per cent). North America accounted for EUR 8.6m (Q1 2012: EUR 9.8m). Turnover in Germany was EUR 3.7m (Q1 2012: EUR 4.0m). In the rest of Europe, revenue was EUR 2.7m (Q1 2012: EUR 2.9m), while that of all other countries fell to EUR 1.9m (Q1 2012: EUR 2.9m).
The "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment generated EUR 15.8m (Q1 2012: EUR 18.2m) of the EUR 17.0m group-wide revenue (Q1 2012: EUR 19.6m), or 92.9 per cent of the total (Q1 2012: 92.9 per cent).
The segment "Other" which contains planning systems, driver dispatch systems and automotive generated sales of EUR 1.2m (Q1 2012: EUR 1.4m) with third parties. That is 7.1 per cent of overall group revenue (Q1 2012: 7.1 per cent).
Gross profits, at EUR 5.4m, were EUR 0.4m below the figure for the previous year (EUR 5.8m). However, in relative terms, the gross margin was about 2 percentage points higher than a year earlier in relation to revenue.
Operating and administrative costs were EUR 4.0m, i.e. about EUR 0.1m lower than those of last year (Q1 2012: EUR 4.1m). However, these will rise in the months ahead because of international trade fairs and an increasing number of complex tenders.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell to EUR 1.1m and were thus significantly lower than those of the first quarter of 2012 (EUR 2.8m). Of this, EUR 1.1m was generated by "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" (Q1 2012: EUR 3.1m) and EUR -0.1m by the "Other" segment (Q1 2012: EUR -0.3m). Foreign-currency losses of EUR 0.2m were generated mainly from completed forward currency transactions and accounting-date valuations of accounts receivable in foreign currencies (Q1 2012: gains of EUR 1.6m).
In all, this cut group after-tax profits by EUR 1.1m to EUR 0.7m (Q1 2012: EUR 1.8m). This corresponds to earnings-per-share of EUR 0.08 (Q1 2012: EUR 0.20).
By contrast, group comprehensive income rose from EUR 0.8m to EUR 2.4m. This increase was due mainly to unrealised profits from currency conversion.
init's net assets and financial position continue to be satisfactory. The balance sheet total increased marginally to EUR 110.5m, EUR 0.1m higher than that of the previous year (31.12.2012).
At the end of the reporting period, the operative cash flow was EUR 1.2m (Q1 2012: EUR 4.4m). This appears likely to improve as the year progresses.
Equity capital is at about EUR 60.1m and thus higher than the level this time last year (Q1 2012: EUR 57.6m).
Short-term bank liabilities of EUR 0.2m (31.12.2012: EUR 0.2m) relate mainly to the short-term part of the funding of the properties at Kaeppelestrasse 4, 8/8a and 10. Long-term bank loans of EUR 3.7m (31.12.2012: EUR 3.8m) relate to the long-term part of the funding of the properties at Kaeppelestrasse 4, 8/8a and 10. Investment in 2012 in Kaeppelestrasse 8/8a and 10 amounted to EUR 6.3m and is booked under "Investment property". These properties are intended to secure the location in the long term. However they are initially leased on a non-terminable basis until 31 December 2017.
The value of liquid assets, including short-term disposable securities and bonds, fell to EUR 20.4m in the reporting period and thus remain below the level of the previous year (31.12.2012: EUR 20.5m)
The available lines of sureties and working capital continue to secure the funding of business activities and their expansion. init also has EUR 1.0m in gold, which is booked under long-term assets.
EUR 1.2m was spent on investment in property and intangible assets (excluding software development) in the first three months of the year (Q1 2012: EUR 0.6m). This is mainly replacement and rationalisation investment as well as EUR 0.7m in advances for the new construction Kaeppelestrasse 4–6.
The init group value-added chain comprises the development, production management, quality assurance, implementation, servicing and maintenance of integrated hardware and software solutions for all the key operations of transport companies.
The production of hardware is mainly outsourced to qualified producers as subcontractors who work closely with our init engineers. The quality we require is assured by having our own staff assist in each stage of the production process, from prototyping to the test series all the way to serial production.
In order to comply with "Buy America" requirements, init operates two production firms in the USA. The company SQM LLC assembles various devices and equips printed circuit boards from the init product range. TQA LLC produces cables for the American market.
init is not dependent on individual suppliers. This allows us to switch easily to alternative suppliers should one of our business partners be unavailable. For the 2013 business year, we were able to expand our supplier pool and negotiate new framework agreements.
In view of the expected general shortage of qualified personnel in the coming years, binding employees to the company long term is one of init's most important personnel-related objectives. To this end, a number of voluntary measures and actions help involve employees directly in the company's success. As a result, all employees received a performance-related bonus of about EUR 6,000 in 2012 in addition to their regular pay. This took the form of cash payments and share transfers.
The size of the init workforce was again adapted moderately overall to ensure the timely completion of the available orders and also create new growth opportunities on the market. Because we expect further large orders in the months ahead, this trend will continue in the coming months.
On 31 March 2013, the init group employed 434 people (Q1 2012: 404), including temporary staff, scientific advisors and undergraduates. Another 19 employees are currently in apprenticeship.
More than 65 per cent of init's full-time employees have an academic qualification, primarily in computing, electrical engineering, HF technology, physics, mathematics and industrial engineering.
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions and protecting natural resources are essential in order to prevent potential climatic disaster. Efficient public transport systems play an increasingly important part in this.
Since its establishment 30 years ago, init has had a special obligation to protect the environment and conserve resources. init's products have a long history of helping transport companies to provide faster, more competitive and energy-saving mobility, thus also reducing the environmental impact of particulate matter and exhaust fumes. init also actively implements fundamental
ecological principles along its entire supply chain as well as in individual divisions, from procurement and production to operation. Furthermore, environmental protection and resource conservation are firmly anchored in init's corporate guidelines.
In the first three months of 2013, init's hardware and software developers worked not only on developing existing products further but also on fundamental innovations.
In all, the init group spent EUR 0.7m (Q1 2012: EUR 1.0m) developing new products and on software development. EUR 0.5m of this is attributable to the "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment.
In addition, customer-financed new and further development was carried out in the form of projects which accounted for approximately another five times the reported research and development expenditure.
The risks for the future development of the init group are largely determined by the risks to its operational subsidiaries. The group does not currently perceive any risks that could threaten its existence.
Nevertheless, a risk management system is integrated into our business processes and corporate decisionmaking. Before any fundamental decisions are taken about important measures, the matter is discussed thoroughly at regular board meetings under consideration of the inherent opportunities and risks. Looming risks are regularly reported on at Management Board and Supervisory Board meetings. Alternative measures are discussed with the Supervisory Board.
Project management is a decisive and critical factor in the success of the init group. Successful project management depends on precise calculation, the contractual framework, the size of the individual project, the timely processing of projects, the willingness of customers to provide constructive assistance, as well as country-specific laws and regulations. In addition to unforeseen technical and customer-specific problems, timely processing of projects partly depends on whether the company has enough qualified personnel available.
The global financial crisis also presents a high risk of debt default. More than 95 per cent of init's customers are publicly-financed transport companies. However the financial crisis has caused many countries – including Greece, Dubai and Ireland – to have difficulty paying their debts. As a result, debt default cannot be ruled out in the future. The threat of default in Dubai caused init corresponding impairment. By contrast, the scope of accounts receivable in days has increased, thus presenting risks in terms of liquidity and the ability to plan cash flows.
The high national debt of some countries as well as discussed rescue packages and austerity measures could result in significant cuts in investment in local public transport, and this could in turn adversely affect init's business.
Demands that we consider unjustifiable have been made of us within the framework of an international cooperation agreement. The reserves set aside for this in the 2011 fiscal year have therefore been maintained. Due to this international cooperation agreement our general contractor failed to pass on to us around EUR 2m received from the end customer. init has initiated legal action regarding this claim. There is a risk of default on accounts receivable. Therefore a risk provision in 2012 was created.
Measures are currently underway to improve the revenue and results of Bruchsal-based CarMedialab GmbH. However it is not certain whether these will have the desired effect. There is therefore a risk that this will pose a financial burden on the overall results.
Projects concluded in foreign currencies are subject to exchange rate risks that may affect revenue, procurement prices, the value of accounts receivable, currency reserves, liabilities and therefore profits. init hedges against this currency-exchange risk through active currency management. This involves the use of forward foreign exchange transactions and options. Because init wants to keep its options open in this respect and engage in active management, losses resulting from this cannot be excluded.
init may invest money in shares, bonds, fixed-interest securities and fixed-term deposits. Changes in exchange and interest rates may therefore affect the group's financial results. The group also holds 25 kg in gold to diversify its risk, though this too is subject to price fluctuations.
init is currently involved in many tenders, both at home and abroad. The new Rheinbahn project (operated jointly with Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft AG, Mülheimer Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH and Essener Verkehrs AG) as well as those in Luxembourg and Montreal are further major reference projects from 2012 that will underpin future tenders we participate in.
Additional potentials could also be realised by the start of active marketing in France and the Asia-Pacific region. The United States continues to have billions of dollars in earmarked funds available for the expansion of local public transport networks. As a result, we also expect to take part in many new tenders in the US in the current year. However, we also detect an increasing trend toward tenders in Germany, the rest of Europe and in the Asia-Pacific.
We also see a great advantage in the growing interest among transport companies in integrated systems. Thanks to its EVENDpc ticket printer with onboard computer function, init is perfectly equipped to combine ticketing and ITCS. Our international credentials are also beneficial since they send out a clear message to many new potential customers around the world from whom we could benefit when they invest further in infrastructure.
The long-term growth trends in the market for transport telematics and electronic payment systems continue unabated. Indeed they are being invigorated further by the need for investment in infrastructure that ensures affordable mobility. In times of economic hardship, intelligent solutions are particularly important as a way to cut energy costs and make better use of the available resources. Because this is precisely what init's products and services enable, we must assume that demand for them will grow.
There have been no major developments since the cut-off date.
Transactions with related companies and individuals are listed under "Other disclosures" on page 20.
The statements about the future prospects of the init group made in this Outlook and Forward-looking Statement are based on the information available to us as well as assumptions about developments in the market and sector derived from this information and considered realistic by our Board. However, actual events may cause significant deviations from these expected future developments, if fundamental assumptions prove inapplicable or if new insecurity factors influence economic developments.
Over the course of the reporting period, expectations about future economic developments, which had initially been corrected downwards at the start of the year, have gradually become more optimistic again. As a result, the latest Global Economic Outlook report (April 2013) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) foresees a recovery by the global economy in 2013 and growth of more than 3 per cent, increasing to 4 per cent next year. Nevertheless, the pace of growth will vary markedly from region to region.
This recovery continues to be driven primarily by emerging and developing nations, whose economic output is predicted to increase overall by more than 5 per cent, while countries like China and India can expect much greater growth rates of up to 8 per cent. Economists predict that the US can expect growth of about 1.9 per cent in 2013, though this should rise to 3 per cent by 2014. By contrast, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the IMF believe that Europe is lagging behind global economic developments because of the ongoing European debt crisis. The IMF even expects overall economic output in the eurozone to shrink by 0.3 per cent in 2013. Economists forecast growth in Germany of 0.6 per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year.
In this uncertain global economic environment, the market for telematics, planning and fare collection systems for buses and trains remains a sustainable growth market. Although the consolidation of public-sector budgets also affects the development of the transport infrastructure, the willingness of transport firms to invest and the availability of subsidies, we were unable to register any major negative effects thus far in our market. It is not possible at the present time to predict how the cost-cutting measures adopted by industrialised nations will, via the transmission mechanism of dwindling budgets for local public transportation programmes, lead to a reduction in calls for tenders for projects in the market for transport telematics. However, it cannot be ruled out that funds for investment and state subsidies will be slashed.
Our reference projects and many new products and applications generally put us in a good position with regard to future tenders. We therefore continue to assume that we will be able to expand our market once more in 2013. Unforeseen surprises aside and any further projects delays, we should be able to reach our 2013 growth target of EUR 105m in revenues and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of about EUR 18m. Since the tender process for our new building is almost finished we will be investing around EUR 10.0m in this in the next few months and creating space for new jobs.

The init group is an international system house for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Business activities are divided into the telematics and electronic fare collection systems, planning systems, driver dispatch systems and automotive divisions.
The quarterly financial statements as at 31 March 2013 have been produced in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and meet the requirements of IAS 34.
The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euros. All figures have been rounded to the nearest thousand euros unless stated otherwise.
init AG is a listed company (ISIN: DE0005759807) and has been in the segment of the regulated market with further post-admission requirements (prime standard) since 1 January 2003.
The interim group status report and interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2013 have not been audited.
The interim financial statements for the first quarter were submitted to the Supervisory Board on 30 April 2013.
The interim financial statements have been prepared using the same principles of accounting and valuation used to produce the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2012, which are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
New accounting standards applied for the first time in the first quarter of 2013 did not have any significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The amendment to IAS 12 was published in December 2010 and has to be applied in the first financial year that begins on or after 1 January 2013. The amended IAS 12 contains a simplification whereby, for the purpose of calculating deferred taxes on investment property, it is presumed that the fair value of an investment property will be recovered through sale. This presumption can be rebutted. A disposal should always be presumed for property that is not subject to wear and tear and is valued using the new valuation model.
The amendments to IAS 19 were published in June 2011 and have to be applied in the first financial year that begins on or after 1 January 2013. The amendments contain fundamental changes, such as how to calculate expected income from plan assets and the elimination of the corridor method (variations in pension gains and losses are distributed or smoothed out over time), but also include clarifications and revised wording.
The amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 7 were published in December 2011 and have to be applied in the first financial year that begins on or after 1 January 2014 and 1 January 2013 respectively. The amendments are designed to eliminate inconsistencies by enhancing the existing disclosure requirements. The existing requirements on disclosures about financial instruments have, however, been preserved. The amendment defines additional disclosure requirements.
IFRS 13 was published in May 2011 and has to be applied in the first financial year that begins on or after 1 January 2013. The standard sets out the rules for calculating fair value and defines comprehensive quantitative and qualitative inputs for measuring fair value. The standard does not govern when assets and liabilities can or should be measured at fair value. IFRS defines fair value as the price that a party would receive for selling an asset or would pay to transfer a liability in a standard market transaction at the measurement date.
There were no changes to the consolidated group as at 31 December 2012.
Inventory write-downs amounted to EUR 238k (31/03/2012: EUR 351k). The charge is included under cost of revenues in the income statement.
Securities and bonds were written down by EUR 23k (31/03/2012: EUR 2k) due to a value impairment.
Write-downs on receivables came to EUR 778k (31/03/2012: EUR 414k). EUR 17k was booked to the income statement for the first three months of 2013 (31/03/2012: EUR 238k).
Property, plant and equipment essentially refer to the administration building at Kaeppelestrasse 4, two residential buildings, and office and technical equipment. Capital expenditure for replacement stood at EUR 499k (31/03/2012: EUR 513k). Sales of property, plant and equipment generated profit of EUR 11k (31/03/2012: EUR 15k).
Advance payments totalling EUR 657k (31/03/2012: EUR 361k) were made towards a planned new build (asset under construction).
The software activated within the context of the purchase price allocation of initperdis (financial year 2011) in the amount of EUR 3.3m will be amortised over five years. The scheduled depreciation was applied and is recognised under cost of revenues in the income statement.
Investment property as defined in IAS 40 – property and buildings that are not used for commercial operations – refers to the acquisition of the neighbouring properties at Kaeppelestrasse 8/8a and 10 in 2012.
Rental income was EUR 80k as at 31 March 2013 (31/03/2012: EUR 0k). The corresponding depreciation was EUR 29k (31/03/2012: EUR 0k).
Liabilities are carried at amortised acquisition cost. The current liabilities to banks of EUR 0.2m (31/12/2012: EUR 0.2m) concern the short-term part of the real estate financing of Kaeppelestrasse 4, 8/8a and 10. The long-term liabilities to banks of EUR 3.7m (31/12/2012: EUR 3.8m) relate to the long-term part of the real estate financing.
The capital stock consists of 10,040,000 no-par bearer shares with an imputed share in the capital stock of EUR 1 per share. The shares have been issued and are fully paid up.
The annual shareholders' meeting on 24 May 2011 passed a resolution to create authorised capital totalling EUR 5,020,000. Subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board is authorised to increase the company's capital stock by up to EUR 5,020,000 by 23 May 2016, through one or more issues of up to 5,020,000 bearer shares against contributions in cash or in kind. The new shares will be granted to credit institutions with an obligation to offer the shares to the shareholders for subscription. However, subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board is authorised to withdraw the subscription right in order to:
issue up to 1,004,000 new shares at a price not substantially lower than the stock market price of the company shares when the issue price is determined
to balance out peak amounts,
to open up additional capital markets
to acquire investments and to acquire or merge with other companies or parts of companies by way of a noncash investment and
to turn up to 250,000 new shares into employee shares.
As at 31 March 2013, additional paid-in capital was EUR 5,143k, comprising EUR 3,141k from the premium on shares sold in the IPO and the 2002 capital increase. A further EUR 1,924k was allocated for employee share scheme expenses for the years 2005 to 2012. EUR 436k was reversed following the share transfer to members of the Managing Board and key personnel in 2013. Additional paid-in capital was increased by EUR 514k through the sale of treasury stock in 2007.
As at 1 January 2013, treasury stock comprised 54,899 shares. In the first quarter of 2013, 34,879 shares were transferred to the incentive scheme for members of the Managing Board, managing directors and key personnel with a five-year lock up period. Consequently, treasury stock totalled 20,020 shares as at 31 March 2013.
Treasury stock is valued at acquisition cost (cost method) at EUR 237k (31/12/2012: EUR 650k) and deducted from shareholders' equity. The 20,020 shares have an imputed share in capital stock of EUR 20,020 (0.2%). The average repurchase price was EUR 11.84 per share. Treasury stock was purchased for use as a consideration in mergers and acquisitions of other companies or parts of companies, to gain access to new capital markets, or to be issued to staff or members of the Managing Board.

The init group had no contingent liabilities or assets as at 31 March 2013 or 31 December 2012.
init AG and other group companies are involved in legal disputes connected with ongoing business operations that may have an impact on the group's financial situation. Litigation involves a number of variables, and the outcome of individual lawsuits cannot be reliably predicted.
The affected group companies have recognised provisions in the balance sheet for events prior to the reporting date that are likely to result in a liability which can be estimated with reasonable accuracy.
We do not anticipate any other significant negative outcomes that would have a long-term effect on the assets, liabilities, financial position and earnings situation of the init group.
Segment reporting is provided on page 22 of the interim group report.
The associated companies included in the consolidated financial statements are listed in the section entitled "Consolidated group" in the annual report.
Payables totalling EUR 81k (31/12/2012: EUR 108k) refer to trade accounts payable to iris-GmbH with a residual term of less than one year. The item is recognised under current liabilities in the balance sheet.
init AG began renting an office building in Karlsruhe from Dr. Gottfried Greschner GmbH & Co. Vermögens-Verwaltungs KG on 1 March 2013 (lease previously held by INIT GmbH). The monthly rent payments are approximately EUR 40k (total annual rent: EUR 475k). The rent is contractually fixed until 30 June 2026. A rental deposit of EUR 61k was provided in 2012. Total payments of EUR 35k made to family members of a Managing Board member were recognised under personnel expenses.
