UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015FOREWORD BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

In the business year 2015 Unternehmens Invest AG (UIAG) successfully pursued its objective to support the development of medium-sized Austrian companies.

In addition to two new acquisitions, we particularly focused on the strategic development of existing portfolio companies.

In order to enhance the management capacity, of the by now six shareholdings of our portfolio, we supported their managements with experts from the UIAG network and added proven specialists to the team of our holding company.

Wehavesufficientliquidityatdisposalthatpermitsustolookoutforpromisingacquisitionopportunities. Following the two acquisitions of 2015 – MLU/recordum Group (air quality controlling) and Begalom Group (special sand casting), we took over the remaining shares of MLU group in February 2016.

As a holding company, UIAG’s result mainly depends on the purchase and sale of company stakes.Therefore,UIAGdoesnotreportstrongfinancialresultsinyearswithoutcompanysales. This was the case in 2015 where UIAG achieved an annual result of € 582k.

At the Annual General Meeting on 24 May 2016, the Management Board will propose a higher dividend payout for the business year 2015. In recognition of the loyalty of our share-holders the Management Board and the Supervisory Board consider a dividend of € 0.70 per share (2014: € 0.60 per share) to be adequate due to the high liquidity of UIAG.

Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting will pass the resolution on the relocation of UIAG’sregisteredofficefromWelstoVienna.Thus,wecanbundlethecompetenceson siteandactmoreefficientinfuture.

o The Austrian Corpo- rate Governance Code in its version of January 2015 and the corporate governance report for the business year 2015 are published on the homepage of Unternehmens Invest AG (www.uiag.at).

LCS Holding GmbHIn November 2014 Unternehmens Invest AG acquired 30% of LCS Holding GmbH with its shareholdings in GANTNER Seilbahnbau GmbH and LCS Cable Cranes GmbH. For many years GANTNER develops and manufactures high-performance rope winches, carriages, pulleys and other cableway accessories in close cooperation with LCS. LCS mainly designs and develops ropeways for the transportation of heavy goods for diverse projects.

In December 2015 the company structure of LCS Holding GmbH was changed. Knünz GmbH and another shareholder sold 5% each of LCS Holding GmbH which were consequently acquired by David and Gilbert Domig – both from LCS management team. At the same time LCS Holding GmbH increased its shares in LCS Cable Crane Systems GmbH from 90% to 99% and the shares in GANTER Seilbahnbau GmbH from 90% to 100%.

The consolidated revenues of LCS Group in 2015 amounted to € 16.29m and were thus below previous years; this was due to the postponement of projects of the oil and gas industry. The low oil price had numerous pipeline projects postponed or suspended world- wide, which also affected LCS projects in Canada. Additionally, low prices for raw materials let investments in the mining industry decline. Nevertheless LCS Holding GmbH achieved aprofitbeforetaxintheamountof€2.19m.

With the purchase of 80% of ECCON GmbH in the third quarter 2015 LCS Holding GmbH placed a strategic acquisition. ECCON is worldwide leader for the engineering and manufac-turingofvariableroofingsystemsforstadiumsandshoppingmalls,particularlyfortheirstructuralengineeringandthedevelopmentofdriveconcepts.Latelyvariableroofingsystemsfor stadiums in Vancouver, Canada, Bucharest, Romania, and Kufstein, Austria, were set up. These projects offer further application possibilities for equipment developed by GANTNER and thus a new, expendable mainstay for the LCS Group

In business year 2014/2015 All for One Steeb AG increased revenues by 11% to € 241.6 m and EBIT – clearly above average compared to the increase in revenues – by 43% to € 19.3m. The EBIT margin was 8.0%. The balance sheet total as at 30 September 2015 was € 168.0m and increased by 9% (adjusted to IAS 8) compared to the previous year. The equity ratio as at 30 September 2015 was 32.0%.

Whilepreparingtheconsolidatedfinancialstatementsasat30September2015(IFRS) and with respect to the acquisition of a majority interest (60% of the shareholdings) in OSC AG with an effective date of 1 November 2012 (date of initial consolidation), it was deter-mined that the purchase of the remaining shares (40% of the shareholdings) that was agreed for 1 October 2016 was treated incorrectly. UIAG considered this fact in the at equity valuation as at 31 December 2015. For details please refer to note (12) “Financial assets recognizedatequity”oftheconsolidatedfinancialstatementsofUIAGorthefinancialstate-ments 2014/2015 of All for One Steeb AG.

From its 25.07% shareholding in all for One Steeb AG UIAG received in March 2016 a dividend payment in the amount of € 1.25m.

Pankl Racing Systems AGPankl Racing Systems AG specializes in developing and manufacturing engine and drive- train components for racing cars, high performance vehicles and the aerospace industry. Pankl scores with lightweight components made from high-grade innovative materials designed to withstand extreme mechanical stress. Pankl is a global niche player with world-wide subsidiaries in Austria, Germany, UK, USA, Slovakia and Japan.

Thepastbusinessyearwasmainlycharacterizedbyagenerallydifficulteconomic environment, which also affected the markets in which Pankl operates. This led to declining revenues in both the racing and aerospace businesses. The high performance division showed, however, as in the previous years, a double digit revenues growth. Hence, overall group revenues increased by 5% to € 173.6m.

Despite the challenging environment, Pankl Group generated solid results. Due to the weak racing business EBIT did decline by 14% to € 10.2m, but due to the absence of further exceptionalexpensesinconnectionwiththe2014refinancingPanklwasabletoimprovethefinancialresultsby44%to€–1.8m.In2015,Panklfacedsignificantlylowerinterestexpensesand also substantially lower income taxes, which led to an increase in earnings after tax by 16% to a record € 7.9m.

From its 10.1% shareholding in Pankl Racing Systems AG UIAG received a dividend payment in the amount of € 143k in April 2016.

(I) DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS PURPOSE AND THE GROUP STRUCTURE

Unternehmens Invest AG (the “Company” or “UIAG”) has its registered office in Wels, Austria. The company is recorded in the commercial register of the Provincial court as Commerical court in Wels, Austria, registry number FN 104570 f. The consolidated financial statements of Unternehmens Invest AG for the period ending 31 December 2014 covered three months since in the extraordinary General Meeting on 28 October 2014 the resolution to transfer the balance sheet date from 30 September to 31 December passed. The abridged business year from 1 October through 31 December 2014 is called “previous reporting period” henceforth.

The company is included in the consolidated financial statements of Knünz GmbH, Vienna, Austria (ultimate group parent company, balance sheet date 31 December 2015) and its affiliated companies. These consoli- dated financial statements for the largest scope of consolidation are filed with the commercial register of the Commercial court Vienna, Austria, registry number FN 72711 d.

Unternehmens Invest AG, located in Wels, Austria, operates as a holding company, particularly focusing on the acquisition and administration of industrial companies as well as of companies and investments in industrial companies, the management of companies and investments being part of the UIAG Group, the providing of services for these companies (group services) as well as in the field of management consultancy. The Pongratz Group manufactures trailers for various applications. MLU Group produces and distributes applicances and systems for air controlling. Begalom Group specializes in mold construction as well as in alu and magnesium casts for prototypes and small series.

The consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015 were prepared in accordance with the Inter- national Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), to the extent used in the EU. The companies did neither voluntarily nor prematurely apply certain standards.

On 8 April 2016 the Management Board released the consolidated financial statements for review by the Super- visory Board, submission to the General Assembly and subsequent publication. The Supervisory Board may – within the scope of review it is required to perform – cause changes to the consolidated financial statements.

In the business year 1 January through 31 December 2015 the following respectively amended standards and interpretations had to be applied.

UIAG Group will adopt these standards and interpretations for future reporting periods when their application is mandatory.

IFRS 9 includes revised provisions for the governing of recognition and measurements of financial instruments, including a model of the expected credit losses to determine the impairment of financial assets and new general accounting standards for hedge accounting. It includes provisions for the recognition and reversal of financial instruments from IAS 39. Currently UIAG Group assesses possible effects of the adoption of IFRS 9 on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 specifies how and when revenues are to be recognized. The new standard replaces the existing procedures for the recognition of revenues, included in IAS 18 “Revenues”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes”. Currently UIAG Group reviews possible effects from the application of IFRS 15.

IFRS 16, enacted in January 2016 and replacing IAS 17 regulates the accounting of leases. The standard provides a single balance model for the lessee. The lessee is required to recognize all assets and liabilities in the balance sheet unless their term is twelve months or less, or the asset is of low-value (free choice). For balancing purposes the lessor differentiates between finance or operate lease. Currently UIAG Group reviews possible effects from the application of IFRS 16.

Page 54: UIAG Annual Report 2015

From today’s point of view no major effect on the assets, liabilities and financial position of UIAG Group is expected from other amendments.

These consolidated financial statements prepared in compliance with IFRS are exempting consolidated financial statements in accordance with article 254a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).

(II) SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION AND CONSOLIDATION METHODS

The accounting of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements is based on standardized accounting principles. Therefore the financial statements prepared according to the country specific and inter-national specifications are adjusted to the standardized group accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements are set up in Euro, the functional currency of UIAG Group, amounts are stated in thousand Euro (€k) and rounded according to the commercial rounding method. Where rounded amounts and percentages are aggregated, rounding differences may occur.

AcquisitionOn 21 April 2015 UIAG Holding GmbH acquired 61% of MLU-Monitoring für Leben und Umwelt Ges.m.b.H. Further 10% of MLU/recordum Group were acquired by means of a disproportional capital increase. The total investment of UIAG via UIAG Holding GmbH amounted to € 1.3m.

The MLU/recordum Group located in Wiener Neudorf, Austria, has approximately 30 employees and develops air quality monitoring solutions.

In the course of the acquisition Unternehmens Invest AG increased the nominal capital of UIAG Holding GmbH to € 500k (UIAG share: € 265k) and transferred 40% of UIAG Holding GmbH to the Q-Advisers Group. As of 31 December 2015 UIAG holds 60% of UIAG Holding GmbH.

On 13 May 2015 Unternehmens Invest AG acquired 60% of Begalom GmbH by means of a capital increase in the amount of € 2m. Begalom GmbH is a highly specified manufacturer of lightweight construction components for the international automotive industry and rail and commercial vehicle construction.

Disposal of assets held for saleIn the fourth quarter 2015 a real estate in Köllach, Austria – owned by Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH – was sold. Accordingly the carrying amount and the liabilities were derecognized. The disposal was not reflected in the income statement or cash flow statement.

The changes of the consolidation scope are listed in note (31) “Changes in the scope of consolidation/company mergers” of the consolidated financial statements. Companies included in the consolidated financial state- ments are listed in the schedule of equity holdings as at 31 December 2015 (see attachment 2 “Schedule of equity interests” to the consolidated financial statements).

The balance sheet date of the parent company Unternehmens Invest AG and its subsidiaries is 31 December 2015. MLU Spolka z.o.o., Katowice, Poland is included with its interim report as at 31 December 2015 (balance

54 UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

sheet date 31 March). The balance sheet date of All for One Steeb AG, included as associated company into the group, is 30 September 2015. No major events were reported between the balance sheet date of the parent company and the balance sheet date of All for One Steeb AG. The evaluation of the investment and the notes to the consolidated financial statements are based on their latest available financial statements. The balance sheet date of LCS Group is 31 December 2015. The valuation of the equity investment and the notes to the consolidated financial statements are based on those financial statements.

Methods of consolidationCapital consolidation is carried out using the acquisition method according to IFRS 3. The acquisition costs of the share were contrasted with the pro rata revalued net income at the acquisition date (purchase account- ing). The amount exceeding the fair value of the acquired, identifiable assets and liabilities at acquisition date is capitalized as goodwill and reviewed for impairment annually. The negative goodwill is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Using the at equity method the shares in associated companies are recognized at cost in the consolidated financial statements plus the changes of the group’s share in the net assets of the associated company after acquisition. The goodwill of a company valued at equity is included in the share of the carrying amount and not listed separately.

Non-controlling shares of the equity capital of the consolidated companies are listed as a separate item in the group’s equity resources. Active and passive differences from transactions with non-controlling share- holders are offset against provisions.

All receivables and liabilities, revenues, interest expenses and income as well as other income and expenses from the intercompany settlement were eliminated. Interim results from intergroup deliveries are eliminated unless they were significant.

Income tax effects are taken into account and deferred taxes are recognized during consolidation processes affecting the income.

Currency translationIn the separate financial statements of the consolidated entities any transactions made in foreign currency are translated into Euro using the functional currency concept. For all consolidated companies, the functional currency is the respective national currency, since these companies operate as separate financial, economic and organizational entities of the group. As at 31 December 2015 UIAG Group has one fully consolidated subsidiary in Poland with a functional currency other than the Euro.

The currency translation from the national currency into the Euro is executed at the exchange rate at balance sheet date and in the income statement at the average exchange rate of the reporting period.

Exchange rate differences from the translation of monetary foreign currency items in the separate financial statements, arising from exchange rate fluctuations between the time of recognition of the transaction and the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement of the respective period. Translation gains are recognized in the other operating income, translation losses in the other operating expenses.

Non-monetary items recognized at cost are translated using the historical exchange rate in the separate financial statements.

Page 56: UIAG Annual Report 2015

(III) ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS

The financial reporting of the entities included into the consolidated financial statements is based on uniform accounting policies. The accounting and valuation methods were consistently applied throughout the reporting period.

Profit realizationThe profit from the sale of services is recognized after the transition of the essential risks and benefits of ownership of the purchaser. Services are realized after they were performed. The regulations concerning make-to-order production (Percentage of Completion method) are not applied due to the nature of the manufactured products and services.

Interest income is realized pro rata temporis taking into account the effective yield. Dividend income is recognized when the right to dividend payment arises.

Intangible and tangible assetsIntangible assets are capitalized at cost and measured less scheduled straight-line depreciation (useful life three to six years) according to IAS 38.

Goodwill is not depreciated but subject to an annual impairment test. “MLU” and “Begalom” are cash generat- ing units for UIAG. The operating assets of the cash generating unit are compared to the values in use and, if required, depreciated to the lower value in use, unless a higher fair value less selling expenses is available. The value in use is calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC of 12.23% respectively 11.22% (2014: 0%).

The cash flows for the impairment tests are based on the current mid-term planning as authorized by the Management Board. The planning period is three years. The detailed planning period is based on the cash flows for the third year of the detailed planning period based on the principle of going concern to calculate a perpetual annuity, using a growth discount of 1% and the assumption of convergence. The mid-term planning is based on internal assumptions on the future development of distribution, price and costs, the future develop-ment of markets and the product mix. The assumptions are based on the assessment of the management.

The plausibility of the values in use is determined by multiples and the calculation of various discount rates and future planned cash flows. The Management Board realized that if two significant assumptions will be changed the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount. The table below shows the amount both assumptions have to change to ensure that the recoverable amount still corresponds to the carrying amount.

Tangible assets are capitalized at amortized cost less scheduled straight-line depreciation based on the following expected useful lives.

Useful life

Buildings 10 to 50 yearsTechnical equipment and machinery 3 to 10 yearsFurniture and office equipment 3 to 10 years

The acquisition and production cost cover all costs required to ready the asset for operation. Interest on debt capital is not recognized in business year 2015 since no qualified assets were acquired.

Maintenance and repair cost are recognized as current expenses. Maintenance and renewal expenses are only recognized if the future use of the object is increased considerably.

In case of significant and permanent impairment the asset is written-off to the lower fair value according to IAS 36. If the reasons for impairment no longer apply the asset is written-up accordingly.

According to IFRS provisions tangible assets reported in the consolidated financial statements include capital-ized assets based on finance lease agreements.

The economic ownership of the leased assets is attributed to the lessee if the lessee bears all material risks and opportunities associated with the use of the leased item (finance leasing). The assets underlying such lease agreements are recognized based on the current value of the capitalized lease payments at acquisition and depreciated over their useful life. The lessee sets off the recognized assets with the amortized asset value from the outstanding lease payments at balance sheet date.

The assets from other lease agreements are reported as operating leasing and attributed to the lessor. Lease payments are recognized as current expenses.

Government grantsGovernment grants are taken into account as soon as there is assurance that they will be received and accounted for based on the depreciation of the underlying asset. UIAG did not receive any government grants in the business year 2015. Government grants are reported as non-current liabilities.

Other subsidies from public funds to reimburse the group for costs are recognized as other operating income in the period in which the related costs are incurred, unless the grant is contingent on conditions that are not yet sufficiently likely to be met. UIAG did not receive any subsidies from public funds in the business year 2015.

Financial instrumentsPurchases and sales of any and all financial instruments are recognized as of the respective settlement date.

57UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS

Page 58: UIAG Annual Report 2015

Shareholdings and other financial investmentsShareholdings in affiliated companies – unless fully consolidated – and other shareholdings are recognized at cost if the fair value cannot be determined with sufficient reliability. Permanent impairment is recognized in the income statement. Shareholdings in associated companies are recognized at equity in the consolidated financial statements. Other financial investments are reported available for sale (AfS) at their fair value at the balance sheet date. The fair value is the market price at balance sheet date; changes in the measurement are recognized in the other comprehensive income.

InventoriesInventories are recognized at cost or at the lower realizable value at the balance sheet date (expected sale price less cost of disposal). Similar assets are measured at the moving average price method. Appropriate valuation allowances were made for inventory risks resulting from the duration of storage and reduced usability.

The acquisition and manufacturing cost include all cost of purchase, processing and other cost incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. The acquisition cost comprise all directly attributable material and manufacturing cost and an appropriately assigned share of the material and production overheads. Interest for borrowed capital from the manufacturing and temporary storage is not capitalized.

ReceivablesTrade receivables, loans and other receivables and assets are categorized as “loans and receivables” and reported at amortized cost, eventually using the effective interest method. Recognizable individual risks are reflected by appropriate valuation adjustments. Non-interest or low-interest-bearing receivables with a remain- ing term in excess of one year are recorded at the discounted present value. Foreign currency receivables are transferred at the average exchange rate on the balance sheet date. If the receivable is completely uncollectible (e. g. completion of bankruptcy proceedings) it is written-off and the value adjustment expended.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents as cash on hand and cash in banks are measured at their actual value at balance sheet date.

ImpairmentAssets (except inventories and deferred taxes where other valuation methods apply) are reviewed at balance sheet date if there is any evidence of impairment. Such objective evidence might be financial difficulties, insolvency, breach of contract or considerable delay of payment by the debtor or issuer.

The impairment determines the recoverable amount for the asset. The recoverable amount is the higher value in use or net realizable value. If the realizable amount is below the carrying amount of the asset the impairment loss of the balance is recognized in the income statement.

58 UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Page 59: UIAG Annual Report 2015

The value in use of the asset is the realizable value of the estimated future cash flow from its continuous use and the sale at the end of the useful life based on an interest rate before tax in accordance with the usual market conditions and adapted to the specific risks of the asset. If for the individual asset no separate cash flow can be determined, the value in use is determined on the basis of the next larger unit the asset belongs to and independent cash flows can be identified (the cash generating unit).

The net realizable value is the recoverable amount less selling costs that can be obtained for the asset in an arm’s length transaction between independent third parties.

If an impairment loss is eliminated at a later time, the amount of the reversal of the impairment loss (except in the case of goodwill) is recognized as income in the income statement up to the lower of amortized original cost and value in use.

For the impairment of goodwill please refer to intangible assets and tangible assets.

Employee benefitsThe Austrian group companies set up appropriate provisions for future severance pay obligations. Under national law in case of dismissal or upon attainment of retirement age, employees whose employment started prior to 1 January 2003 are entitled to a one-off severance payment. The amount of the severance payment depends on the length of service and the compensation level.

The provisions for severance payments at balance sheet date are calculated with the projected unit credit method based on an interest rate of 2.18% (31 Dec 2014: 2.00%) considering a wage and salary increase of 2.20% (31 Dec 2014: 2.30%) and a legal retirement age (graded from 56,5 years to 62 years for women and 62 years for men). The defined benefit obligation is compared to the fair value of the existing planned assets at balance sheet date.

The provisions retirement payments – apply to two managing directors – at balance sheet date are calculated with the projected unit credit method based on an interest rate of 2.18% considering a wage and salary increase of 2.20% and a legal retirement age (65 years for men). The defined benefit obligation is compared to the fair value of the existing planned assets at balance sheet date.

The effects from the revaluation of the defined benefit obligation at the respective balance sheet date (actuarial profit or loss) are recognized in the other comprehensive income of the IAS 19 provision; a reclassification in the income statement at a later date is not possible. The interest from the allocation of the obligation is reported as interest expenses in the financial result. The revaluation includes the actuarial profits and losses, the income from planned assets (without interest) and effect of an asset ceiling (without interest). The group determines the net interest expenses (income) on the net debt (asset) from defined benefit plans for the reporting period by using the discount factor used for the valuation of the defined benefit plans at the beginning of the annual reporting period. This discount factor is used for the net debt (asset) from defined benefit plans at the specified date. Changes of the net debt (asset) from defined benefit plans that arise from contribution payments during the reporting period are considered. Net interest expenses and other expenses for defined benefit plans are recognized in the income statement.

Page 60: UIAG Annual Report 2015

For all employees whose contracts started after 1 January 2003 the employer has to pay monthly contribu- tions into a company employee benefit fund. The employer is not obliged to any additional legal or voluntary severance payments apart from that and does not have to set up provisions for this defined contribution plan. In the business year 2015 expenses amounted to € 56k (31 Dec 2014: € 12k).

Anniversary bonuses are granted on the basis of collective bargaining agreements and considered other long-term employee benefits. The calculation of the defined benefit obligation is based on an interest rate of 2.18% (31 Dec 2014: 2.00%) and an expected salary increase of 2.20% (31 Dec 2014: 2.30%). The entry date corresponds to the legal retirement age (reference to section “Provisions for severance payments”). The effect from the revaluation of the obligations at balance sheet date (actuarial profit or loss) is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Short-term accruals from personnel (e. g. leave, overtime or compensation time) are reported in other liabilities.

ProvisionsProvisions are accrued in the amount required by entrepreneurial judgment at the balance sheet date to cover future payment obligations, recognizable risks and uncertain obligations of the group based on past events. Provisions are recognized at an amount which determines the best possible estimate of the expenditure needed to fulfil the obligation.

If the present value based on the customary interest rate differs considerably from the nominal value, the present value of the obligation is recognized

Accrual of deferred taxesDeferred taxes are considered for all temporary valuation and accounting differences between the tax balance sheet and the IFRS balance sheet of the individual companies and for consolidation processes causing temporary differences. Deferred taxes from the first time adoption of a goodwill, asset or debt in a business case, which is not a merger and does not affect the profit or the taxable profit at the time of transaction, are exempted. The tax liability is determined in accordance with IAS 12 “Balance Sheet Liability” method.

Deferred taxes for losses carried forward are formed if they are used within a manageable period of time. The calculation of the tax liability is based on the interest tax rate of the respective country at the time of the reversal of the valuation difference. Future changes of the interest tax rate are considered only if the change of the interest tax rate is valid or announced at the time of the balance sheet was set up.

DebtsLiabilities to financial institutions and trade liabilities as well as other liabilities are recognized at cost in the category “Financial liabilities at amortized cost”. Financial debts are recognized upon inflow with their actual amount. Premiums, discounts and other differences between the amount received and the redemption amount are reported using the effective interest method for the financing period and reported in the financial result.

60 UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Page 61: UIAG Annual Report 2015

Trade payables are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received. Receivables are recognized at amortized cost. Other receivables not resulting from inter-company transactions are reported with their redemption amount.

Estimates and uncertainties in cases of discretionary decisions and assumptionsTo a certain extent, estimates and assumptions have to be made in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates have an impact on the balance sheet assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reporting of expenses and income in the abridged business year. The subsequent actual amounts may then differ from such estimates.

Uncertainties exist in particular:− on the evaluation of goodwill;− on the evaluation of receivables and inventories;− on the recognition and evaluation of long-term employee benefit obligations, provisions for guarantees,

warranties and impending losses;− the assessment of the realizability of deferred taxes.

Assumptions are made to conduct the impairment of goodwill. At balance sheet date goodwill amounted to € 2,907k (31 Dec 2014: € 0). The annual impairment tests and sensitivity analysis is described in the accounting and valuation methods.

The evaluation of receivables is based on the assumption of recoverability. The criteria used by the manage- ment for the assessment of recoverability are the customer’s credit quality, the maturity structure of the receivable balances and experience related to the write-offs of receivables in the past and the changes in terms and conditions of payment. If the financial situation of the customers worsens the total amount of the actual write-offs may exceed the amount of the expected write-offs. At balance sheet date receivables in the amount of € 3,168k (31 Dec 2014: € 1,217k) were recorded. Further details are included in note (16) ”Trade receivables and other receivables“ to the consolidated financial statements.

The evaluation of inventories is based on the estimation of the recoverable amount and the intrinsic value of inventories. Statistical values on duration of storage and the product specific decline of the price are the basis for impairment. At balance sheet date inventories in the amount of € 5,116k (31 Dec 2014: € 3,034k) were recorded. Further details are included in note (15) “Inventories” to the consolidated financial statements.

The expenses for long-term employee benefit obligations (from the regulations for pensions, severance and phased retirement obligations and anniversary bonuses) are calculated with actuarial methods based on assumptions of discount rate, life expectancy, wage- and salary increases, fluctuation rates and expected income from plan assets. If the parameters develop considerably different than expected it might impact on the amount of the future obligations. At balance sheet date obligations for severance payments amounted to € 596k (31 Dec 2014: € 550k), for anniversary payments to € 158k (31 Dec 2014: € 114k) and for retirement payments of € 18k (31 Dec 2014: € 0). Further details are included in note (23) “Personnel obligations” to the consolidated financial statements.

61UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS

Page 62: UIAG Annual Report 2015

Uncertainties regarding provisions exist in particular regarding litigation provisions, warranty risks and impending losses. The litigation provisions are based on the assumptions of lawyers, warranty risks are calculated based on past experience, which may result in uncertainties. At balance sheet date litigation provisions in the amount of € 20k (31 Dec 2014: € 169k) existed. The development of provisions is reported in note (24) “Provisions” to the consolidated financial statements.

Deferred taxes are recognized to the extent that it is probable they can be used in future periods. To evaluate the probability the future utilization various factors e. g. past earnings, operational planning, loss carryforward periods and tax planning strategies must be taken into account. If actual results deviate negatively from these estimates, this could lead to a depreciation of the deferred tax assets in the income statement. At balance sheet date deferred taxes in the amount of € 186k (31 Dec 2014: € 199k) were activated. Further details are included in note (14) “Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities” to the consolidated financial statements.

(IV) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

The consolidated income statement is set up using the cost of sales method.

in €k 31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

MLU 1,560 0Begalom 1,347 0 2,907 0

Goodwill impairment testsIn accordance with IFRS 3 goodwill shall not be subject to scheduled amortization but to an annual impairment test – whether or not impairment is indicated. The impairment test compares the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) to the carrying amount including goodwill, corresponding to the higher of the net selling price or value in use.

65UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE GROUP BALANCE SHEET

Page 66: UIAG Annual Report 2015

For the impairment tests the group’s goodwills were allocated to the following cash generating units:

in €k 31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

MLU 1,560 0Begalom 1,347 0 2,907 0

To determine the recoverable amount of the cash generating units the capital value oriented discounted cash flow method was used. Based on cash flows derived from the current mid-term planning for the next three business years (see section (III) “Accounting and valuation methods”).

MLUThe recoverable amount calculated based on discounted future cash flows of CGUs exceeds the carrying amount of the CGU by € 1,266k.

Cash flow forecasts included specific estimates for three years and a perpetual growth rate. The value in use was calculated based on the following assumptions:

31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

Discount rate 12.13% 0.00%Sustainable growth rate 1.00% 0.00%

The discount rate was caluclated based on average weighted capital cost of a peer group of the CGU.

BegalomThe recoverable amount of the CGU is based on its value in use discounted from planned future cash flows that are based on the continuous use of CGUs.

The determined recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value of the CGU by € 227k.

Cash flow forecasts included specific estimates for three years and a perpetual growth rate. The value in use was calculated based on the following assumptions:

31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

Discount rate 11.22% 0.00%Sustainable growth rate 1.00% 0.00%

The discount rate – based on average weighted capital cost of a peer group of Begalom GmbH – is an after tax indicator.

The estate in Köllach with its administrative build-ings and production shed will be sold in business year 2015. The buildings including office equipment and furniture are already written-off completely. Consequently the estate and the estate loan are classified as held for sale and reported separately in the current assets and current liabilities. The estate in Köllach was sold in the fourth quarter 2015.

(VI) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISKS

(28) Financial risksWithin the scope of its economic business operations UIAG Group is subject to financial risks that may influence the financial and earnings position:

A credit risks exists for the UIAG Group if the business partners cannot meet their contractual obligations and the value of the assets is affected. The risk from trade receivables is low as the credit worthiness of existing and new customers is continuously monitored.

Since no netting agreements and guarantees exist the total amounts recorded under assets therefore represent the maximum credit and default risk.

The analysis of the due term structure of the non-current receivables, impact and development of impairments is shown in note (16) “Trade receivables and other receivables” to the consolidated financial statements.

The currency risk develops from the invoicing of deliveries and services in a foreign currency (CHF solely). For UIAG Group a considerable currency risk does not exist, as only a minor share of receivables is invoiced in a foreign currency.

External funding in a foreign currency does not exist.

A sensitivity analysis shows the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the profit after tax and consolidated equity is included in note (30) “Disclosures to financial instruments” to the consolidated financial statements.

Interest rate risks that are value changes of primary and derivative financial instruments or future payments from a financial instrument because of changes of the market interest rate exist for UIAG Group mainly from assets and liabilities whose maturity time is longer than one year. These longer maturity times are only important for financial assets and liabilities.

A sensitivity analysis showing the effects of interest rate changes on the profit after tax and the consolidated equity is included in note (30) “Disclosures to financial instruments” to the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity riskThe analysis of due dates for the payment of financial liabilities agreed in contracts is shown in note (30) “Dis- closures to financial instruments” to the consolidated financial statements. The financing is controlled centrally, loans are mainly taken out by Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH and Begalom GmbH. Mainly short-term cash advances that are prolonged regularly are used.

(29) Equity managementThe consolidated equity of UIAG Group is controlled by the management based on the IFRS-consolidated equity. For individual companies the equity levels determined under local law are monitored. Important key figures are the equity ratio and the gearing ratio.

The management aims for a sustainable double-digit equity ratio, determined according to economic principles as a medium-term financial benchmark. Because of the group’s growth ratio the generated profits are retained and not distributed completely in the mid-term.

78 UIAG ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Page 79: UIAG Annual Report 2015

(30) Disclosures to financial instrumentsThe group’s primary financial instruments are mainly financial investments, trade receivables and trade pay- ables, cash equivalents, finance receivables, financial liabilities and other receivables and liabilities.

The balance of primary financial instruments is reported in the consolidated balance sheet.

All financial liabilities are taken out in Euro, therefore the current and non-current financial liabilities are not subject to exchange or interest rate risks from foreign currencies..

Classification and fair valueThe fair value of financial instruments is determined by listed market prices for the identical instrument in active markets (level 1). In case no listed market price on active markets is available, the fair value is determined by valuation methods, whose parameters are based on monitorable market data (level 2). Otherwise the deter-mination of the fair value is based on valuation methods whose parameters are not based on monitorable market data (level 3).

The following table shows carrying amounts and fair values of the financial assets (financial instruments on the assets side), broken down by class and measurement category in accordance with IAS 39. It does not provide information for financial assets not measured at the fair value, if the carrying amount constitutes a reasonable approximate value of fair value.

The fair value of loans, liabilities from lease and other financial investments corresponds to the customary, variable interest rate of the carrying amounts. Receivables and other assets as well as trade payables and other liabilities correspond largely to their fair value due to the short-term nature of the carrying amounts. The fair value of shareholdings cannot be determined because of the lack of an active market.

The table includes all financial instruments that are held at the balance sheet date and where payments have already been agreed upon on a contractual basis. Budgeted figures for any additional future financial liabilities are not included. Foreign exchange balances are converted using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Variable interest payments are estimated based on the most recent interest rate fixing before the balance sheet date. Financial liabilities repayable at any time are allocated to the group with the shortest maturity.

Sensitivity analysesBasics of sensitivity analysesRegarding material market risks of financial instruments IFRS 7 requires the performance of sensitivity analyses to show the effects that hypothetical changes of relevant risk variables have on the profit and the consolidated equity. The UIAG Group is exposed to foreign currency and interest rate change risks. For these market risks sensitivity analyses were performed.

The relevant balances of financial instruments at balance sheet date were used as basis to determine the effects of the hypothetical change of the risk variables. It was assumed that the risk at balance sheet date essentially represents the risk present during the abridged fiscal year. Risk offset – from the use of derivative financial instruments – was considered.

The group tax rate of 25% was used as tax rate.

The sensitivity analyses for the foreign currency risk included foreign currency risks for financial instruments that are of a monetary nature and denominated in a currency deviating from the functional currency. Exchange rate adjustments from the currency translations of subsidiaries are not considered.

The sensitivity analyses for the interest rate risks is based on the consolidated cash flow risk, since the fair value risk is not relevant because of the valuation and accounting methods.

Interest rate riskA change in the market interest rate level by 50 basic points at the balance sheet date would increase or decrease the profit (after tax) and the consolidated equity as follows. The analysis assumes that the other variables, foreign exchange rates in particular, remain constant.

in €k 31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

Increase by 50 basic points 98 2Decrease by 50 basic points (98) (2)

The sensitivity of the analyses above is solely influenced from financial instruments with variable interest rates (consolidated cash flow risk): Based on the applied accounting methods interest rate fluctuations do not affect financial instruments with a fixed interest rate.

Foreign currency riskIf the Euro had strengthened by 10% at balance sheet date compared to the currencies listed below, the profit (after tax) and the consolidated equity had increased or decreased by the amounts listed below. The analysis is based on the assumption that all other variables, interest rates in particular, remain constant.

in €k 31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

Swiss franc (CHF) 5 /(4) 3 / (3)

If the Euro had devalued by 10% at balance sheet date compared to the currencies listed below, the effect on the profit (after tax) and the consolidated equity were the same but with reversed sign (assuming all other variables remain constant).

Report on the consolidated financial statementsWe have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Unternehmens Invest AG, Wels, Austria, consisting of the balance sheet as at 31 December 2015 and the consolidated income statement , the other comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the business year ended 31 December, and the notes.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statementsThe management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements under article 245a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) and the internal control determined necessary by the legal representatives to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria and Austrian standard accounting principles, as well as in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (IASs). Those stan-dards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 judgement, 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 entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 audit opinion.

Audit opinionOur audit did not give rise to any objections. In our opinion, which is based on the results of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with legal requirements and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as at 31 December 2015 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU.

Comments on the consolidated management reportPursuant to statutory provisions, the consolidated management report is to be audited as to whether it is con- sistent with the consolidated financial statements and whether the other disclosures do not give rise to miscon-ception of the group’s position. The auditor’s report should also include a statement whether the management report is consistent with the financial statements and whether the disclosures as required under article 243a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) are adequate.

In our opinion, the management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. The disclosures as required under article 243a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) are adequate.
