Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

 

(B) Basis of preparation

 

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Statements” and do not include all of the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the IASB and its interpretations for full annual financial statements.

 

(b) Use of estimate and judgements

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of valuation principles and accounting policies, thus influencing the results of operations, financial position and net assets of the Group. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements the significant judgements made and the key sources of estimations used by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010 and for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

 

(C) Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010 and for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

The significant increase in sales in the reporting interim period compared to the six months ended 30 June 2010 affected all segments and all product groups and is due to the ongoing increase in customers’ orders. The significant increase in order intake is effected by the continuing recovery of the worldwide economy from the beginning of 2010 onwards.

The significant increase in personnel expenses in the reporting interim period is due (i) to the significant increase in sales and related step-up in production capacity utilisation in the Group’s workshops at all sites compared to the six months ended 30 June 2010 and (ii) to the fact that in Germany the collective wage bargaining agreement signed in November 2008 was finalised by expiry as of 31 December 2010. So the salary increases waived for the years 2009 and 2010 had to be caught up completely in January 2011 and all of the other cost saving effects agreed upon for the years 2009 and 2010 were cut back with immediate effect. At the foreign sites the number of employees increased reflecting the increase in production according to the rapidly increasing customer demands.

The current service cost of employee benefit obligations as disclosed in the table above are recognised proportionally based on the respective actuarial forecast for the twelve months period following the last annual reporting date. No revised actuarial report was issued at the end of the interim periods ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010.

The significant decrease in financial expenses is due to the following facts:

 

   

In the first half year of 2010 the interest expenses due on the complete bonds in the nominal amount of EUR 135.0 million were included up to 15 April 2010, whereas in the first half year of 2011 only interest for the remaining bonds of EUR 55.25 million are included for the respective comparable period. This is the main reason why the interest expenses for bank loans and bank guarantees decreased from EUR 7.8 million in the period ended 30 June 2010 by EUR 2.7 million to EUR 5.1 million in the first half year of 2011.

 

   

In the first half year of 2010 the deferred financing cost on the delisted bonds in the nominal amount of EUR 79.75 million had to be amortised with immediate effect. Therefore the expenses from amortised financing cost decreased from EUR 2.1 million in the period ended 30 June 2010 by EUR 1.8 million to EUR 0.3 million in the first half year of 2011.

 

   

Based on the scale of terms of the respective contractual obligations in the Senior Facilities Agreement in the first half year of 2011 the Group had to recognise the second tranche of an exit fee to the syndicate of banks whereas in the first half year of 2010 the Group had to recognise in addition to the first tranche of this exit fee a commitment fee and other fees. Therefore the total amount of amendment fees and other financing expenses decreased from EUR 1.7 million in the period ended 30 June 2010 by EUR 1.0 million to EUR 0.7 million in the first half year of 2011. The two accrued instalments of the exit fee remained unpaid up to the accomplished exit from the financing contracts with the syndicate of banks as of 2 August 2011 (please refer to note 11 “Subsequent events” of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements).

5. Income tax expenses

The increase in current tax expense in the first half of year 2011 compared to the first half of year 2010 corresponds to the increase in taxable income especially for the sites in Germany. So here the current tax expenses increased significantly from EUR 0.8 million in the period ended 30 June 2010 by EUR 5.2 million to EUR 6.0 million in the first half year of 2011.

The deferred tax income went down by EUR 1.3 million from EUR 1.3 as of 30 June 2010 to EUR 0.0 million as of 30 June 2011. This is mainly due to some increases in IFRS values compared to their respective tax values. These increases nearly compensated the decreases of IFRS values through the respective amortisation of the assets capitalised in the course of the purchase price allocations regarding the acquisition of the VAC Magnetics Group in 2005 and the acquisition of the Neorem Group in 2007.

Income tax expense is recognised based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The Group’s consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is at 29% and according to the actual internal business forecasts this represents management’s best estimate of the tax rate to be expected at the end of 2011.

But this figure may hardly be compared to the respective figure for the six months ended 30 June 2010 of -10%. At this point in time management could not foresee that the economic recovery in the second half year of 2010 would increase taxable income in such a way that the Group’s weighted average annual income tax rate at the end of year 2010 was at around 19%.

 

6. Plant, equipment, land and buildings

During the six months ended 30 June 2011 the Group acquired assets at a total amount of EUR 7.416 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2010: EUR 3.090 thousand). The huge increase in capital expenditure in the first half year of 2011 compared to respective period in 2010 is due to the continuing upturn in the Group’s business which requires the Group to enlarge production capacities in certain areas. There were no major disposals of these kinds of assets to be reported on.

 

7. Intangible assets

In the first six months of financial year 2011 the Group capitalised development cost of EUR 0.8 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: EUR 0.9 million).

 

8. Inventories

During the six months ended 30 June 2011 the Group recognised additional inventory allowances in the amount of EUR 2.5 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: EUR 1.9 million). Within the interim period ended 30 June 2011 the Group recognised the usage of inventory allowances in the amount of EUR 2.1 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: EUR 2.9 million). In total the inventory allowances as of 30 June 2011 increased from EUR 5.8 million to EUR 6.2 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: decreased from EUR 7.6 million to EUR 6.6 million).

During the six months ended 30 June 2011 the Group recognised additional inventories in the amount of EUR 18.3 million. Thereof EUR 8.8 million were related to increase in volume and EUR 9.5 million were related to increase in price. Thus the total amount of inventories was at EUR 117.5 million as of 30 June 2011 from EUR 99.2 million as of 31 December 2010.

9. Interest-bearing loans due to third parties

During the six months ended 30 June 2011 VAC Holding Group paid EUR 3.7 million by way of regular repayments on external bank loans. In the same period the balance sheet values of bank loans were increased through the regular amortisation of deferred financing cost in the amount of EUR 0.3 million. So the total amount of bank loans of the Group decreased by EUR 3.4 million from EUR 157.5 million as of 31 December 2010 to EUR 154.1 million as of 30 June 2011.

 

10. Other financial obligations

As of 30 June 2011 VAC Holding Group entered into agreements relating to the purchase and delivery of plant, equipment, land and buildings for EUR 4.1 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: EUR 3.1 million).

 

11. Subsequent events

The Group in its entirety has been acquired on 2 August 2011 by the new sole shareholder OMG Germany as already described in note no. 1 (A) “Reporting entity”. This change in ownership subsequently caused some corporate restructuring steps in Germany. As one of these steps VAC Holding GmbH was merged into the new parent company OMG Germany Holding GmbH and ceased to legally exist on 23 September 2011 when the merger was recorded into the files of OMG Germany Holding GmbH at the Commercial Registry.

In the course of the execution of the Sale and Purchase Agreement during the flow of funds on 2 August 2011 the financing structure is significantly changed. All senior bank loans and the senior secured notes due to third parties in the balance sheet amount of EUR 154.1 million as of 30 June 2011 (financial year ended 31 December 2010: EUR 157,5 million) were paid back to the lenders in accordance with the respective contractual terms and conditions of the financing contracts. These borrowings were then replaced by intercompany loans due by the former borrowers of the loans and the notes to the new owner of the Group.

 

12. Approval for publication

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the interim period of the six months ended 30 June 2011 were prepared by the Company in accordance with IAS 34 for the special purpose of being published according to SEC requirements and were approved for publication by the management of the Company on 12 October 2011.
